Given that Rodgers had openly accepted his game’s team-plan last season to flourish with Suarez’s attacking instincts, it was interesting what Liverpool would put on display this time around. Southampton have also faced a major upheaval of their own and the evidence of that was present in the starting line-up, substitutes bench and in the stands; as their three most important players adorned the Anfield setup. The Saints though weren’t slow of the mark and were playing some enterprising football of their own, Tadic being at the heart of everything and assisted by the excellent James Ward-Prowse....
“We’ve heard loud and clear from some students and staff for whom face masks are problematic,” Cathy Moore, the Wake County schools superintendent said, according to a report by WRAL. “We want to make sure that whatever we put in place maintains health and safety but takes care of the needs of the folks that are in our buildings.” Wake County has yet to decide whether they will require face masks will be used in the classrooms....
In November and December, specialized units assigned to the Olympic Games, including Utah SWAT teams, quietly trained at a government-funded counter terrorism boot camp in the Nevada desert. They faced every imaginable terrorist scenario–tractor-trailers crashing into power lines, hostage-taking, live biohazards, an exploding nuclear facility. No expense is being spared in the interest of protecting 2,600 athletes, 175,000 daily spectators and the 1.8 million wary residents of metro Salt Lake City, who–despite a security budget of $310 million–still see the Games as the next logical target....

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney are the semi-estranged siblings Jon and Wendy Savage, whose father (Philip Bosco)—a difficult, irascible dad to begin with—is descending into dementia. He’d been living with his partner in Sun City, but when she dies his kids have to figure out what to do with him. They are not well equipped for the job, having enough trouble navigating their own floundering, self-absorbed lives. Wendy is a failed playwright in New York, surviving on temp jobs and unhappily conducting an affair with a married man (Peter Friedman)....
It was supposed to be a “short and shallow” recession. But as the nation’s economic downturn heads into its llth month the Bush administration increasingly fears that the worst is yet to come. Last week the administration finally succeeded in getting the Federal Reserve and commercial banks to lower interest rates. Yet Washington’s warnings of a contagious global slump are angering U.S. trading partners-and increasing the suspicion that the administration is playing politics with the economy....
But when the XFL debuts Feb. 3 on NBC, here’s what fans will actually see: a real football game. For skeptics, Las Vegas–the ultimate arbiter of such matters–is taking book on XFL contests, just as on the Super Bowl. But any other resemblance to Sunday’s NFL showdown will be slim. Despite major-league menace in the teams’ names–Memphis Maniax, L.A. Xtreme–XFL players are largely minor leaguers, NFL wannabes and has-beens. Talent isn’t the lure; action is....
Butler, a senior, was arrested in the early morning hours of Aug. 20 after an altercation with police outside a bar called the Linebacker near the Notre Dame campus. According to a probable cause affidavit, officers broke up a fight inside the bar, but the conflict spilled outside, where police say Butler shoved one of two women involved in their own skirmish. When police tried to halt Butler’s involvement, the football player tackled one of the officers to the ground before punching him repeatedly to the body, police say....

Serena Williams thrashed fellow American Vania King 6-1, 6-0 in just 56 minutes. The world number one has had a poor run in the major tournaments of 2014, but, now has probably announced herself as the top contender to lift the US Open after two easy victories in the opening two rounds. Even though she had five double faults in the match, she did not lose serve and also broke King’s serve twice in the first set and thrice in the second set....
For now, the world No. 1’s Australian Open defense is back on track after a Federal Court hearing that spanned most of Monday ended in Djokovic’s favor. The Serbian star was dramatically denied entry into Australia despite being granted a medical exemption to travel without proof of vaccination ahead of this year’s first Grand Slam event. AUSTRALIAN OPEN: Djokovic vaccine controversy, explained Djokovic has been detained in an immigration detention hotel in Australia awaiting his Monday hearing, but after winning his appeal he went straight to Rod Laver Arena, the scene of his nine Open titles, for his first practice session since arriving in Australia....
Novak Djokovic, through his Novak Djokovic Foundation, has donated 5 million Serbian dinars (approximately €42,500) to a hospital in the Serbian town of Novi Pazar, where there has been a spate of COVID-19 cases. Djokovic has faced a lot of flak recently from fellow players, tennis experts and fans for organizing the ill-fated Adria Tour with lax COVID-19 protocols at a time when the pandemic has far from abated. But the Serb is acutely aware of the situation in Novi Pazar, one of Serbia’s worst-affected cities....

And then just like that, everything changed, and for the second year in a row the Buckeyes swiped victory away from the Nittany Lions in another wild game between the Big Ten powerhouses. Dwayne Haskins threw two touchdown passes in the final seven minutes as No. 4 Ohio State wiped out a 12-point deficit to beat No. 9 Penn State 27-26 Saturday night. “That sideline was not giving up,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said....

In the weeks leading up to the introduction of the Cruiserweight Division on Raw, Noam Dar was one of the earliest names announced to be part of the division, along with the likes of Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, Gran Metalik, TJ Perkins, Jack Gallagher, Akira Tozawa, Tomasso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, and more. Only a few of these names have made their debuts so far, but this is because a handful of them still have to finish up their independent dates before joining the division....
The operation began last February when the former Soviet republic of Moldova, a nation of more than 4.4 million near the Black Sea, bounded by Romania and Ukraine, advised the United States that it was negotiating to sell what amounted to virtually the entire air force it inherited at independence. The prospective buyer: Iran, which already owned 30 MiG-29s, but none of the nuclear-capable S models, the most advanced fighter in the Soviet arsenal....
Nobody Saves the World: How Many Players The maximum number of players that can team up in Nobody Saves the World is two, and they must join with one another online. This is because the game does not support couch co-op at the time of writing; a piece of information that may disappoint some readers. It is very easy to join up with a buddy online, though, which may make the title’s lack of couch co-op easier to stomach....
Released on Android 9, the phone looks more expensive than it is, has decent cameras and a pin-sharp display. We liked it a lot, as evidenced by our solid four-star review. The phone becomes the third Nokia device after the 9 Pureview and 8.1 to get the Android 10 update. HMD has promised to bring the latest OS to most of its existing devices in 2020. It’s a schedule that it has stuck to so far, and if successful will show up other Android OEMs who seemingly struggle to update even their flagship devices to the latest version of Google’s mobile software....
