NEWSWEEK technology correspondent Katie Hafner recently got the Fellows together (minus Papert) for a freewheeling dialogue that ranged from virtual theme parks to the quantification of emotion to the future of education. The conversation took place at the Beverly Hills, Calif., home of Bran Ferren, the visual-effects maestro (““Altered States,’’ ““Little Shop of Horrors’’), whose domicile is as much of a spectacle as his work. Ferren, 43, started the Fellows program in ‘95....
Hardy was arrested in Volusia County, Florida on the morning of June 13th after being spotted weaving in and out of lanes on the road. He was also alleged to be driving dangerously under the speed limit. The AEW star was then pulled over where he failed a sobriety test on the side of the road and admitted to having multiple double shots of “fireball.” You can watch the full dashcam footage captured by the police department here:...
While the RPG has been out on a number of systems for years now, an iOS version of Divinity: Original Sin 2 released earlier this year. In a recent update, the developers added cross-save and cross-progression support between the iOS and Steam versions of the game. This new update allows players that started the adventure on a PC save to transfer the game over to an iPad, and they can then access the saved game back on their PC when they return without losing any progress....
Two teams that have supplanted some of the old guard are Colorado State-Pueblo of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, which won the 2014 national championship, and Ohio Dominican, which has quickly moved into the upper echelon of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. MORE: SN Top 25 (FBS) | FCS Top 25 | Coach rankings, 1 to 128 | All-Americans Colorado State-Pueblo didn’t field a team from 1984 until 2008, but it took only seven years for coach John Wristen to build the Thunderwolves into a national champion....
The problem with the NFC comes down to matchups, weather and consistency. The 49ers-Panthers contest involves two teams that have strong defenses and questions on offense. The Panthers could be even more anemic because of the knee injury to Steve Smith and it’s hard to trust Colin Kaepernick against the Panthers defense. Meanwhile, in Seattle, the Saints offense is a total risk. Not only was it shut down against the Seahawks the first time the teams met, this game will be outdoors in the rain and wind....
Defending Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic has been confirmed as the top seed in this year’s mens’ singles at the All England Club, while French Open winner Maria Sharapova is the top seed in the womens’ singles. Serbia’s Djokovic, the current world number one, was beaten by Rafael Nadal in the French Open final earlier this month, but he retains the top seeding ahead of the second seeded Spaniard. Djokovic’s defeat to Nadal in Paris marked the end of a run of three successive grand slam final victories over the world number two, which started when he won Wimbledon for the first time last year....
Serving for the match at 5-1, Djokovic handed a towel to a man in the crowd who seemed unwell and who wiped his forehead with it. “It seemed he was sweating and he seemed dizzy, so he just needed help,” Djokovic said. “I just gave him the towel.” Djokovic revealed he also was not feeling very well out on court. “I wasn’t,” he said. “I don’t want to get into details but I think it’s a minor thing....
McEnroe questioned whether the Serbian 12-time grand slam champion was struggling due to off-court issues, comparing him to the troubled Woods. Djokovic, who crushed Adam Pavlasek in the Wimbledon second round, brushed off the American’s suggestions while talking up the respect he had for the seven-time major winner. “Yeah, I have heard about it. Look, John has a complete right to say – anybody, really, in the world has a right to say what they want, and I respect that right,” he said....
Djokovic cut last season short due to an elbow injury which forced the former world number one to retire from his Wimbledon quarter-final against Tomas Berdych. The 12-time major champion revealed his elbow is not 100 per cent but he is “fine and adequate” to play at Melbourne Park, where he will face Donald Young in the first round. Djokovic, who has adapted his serve, is aware he is at risk of doing further damage but believes he can mount a challenge if he stays fully fit....
Bivol defends his (official) title for the tenth time when he faces Gilberto Ramirez on November 5. The bout takes place inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Bivol won the interim title in 2016. Defending that version of the title twice, he was promoted in 2017. This will be his tenth time defending the regular belt. Ramirez is undefeated in 44 contests. A former WBO super-middleweight champion, “Zurdo” won the NABF light-heavyweight title in 2020....
Who Needs a Car Audio Amplifier Fuse? If your new power amp came with a built-in fuse, it’s meant to protect the amp itself; it won’t do anything to protect the rest of the wiring in your car. Of particular concern is the amplifier’s power wire, which could short out somewhere down the line. If you aren’t careful when running a power wire for your new amp, it shorts out and it isn’t fused, and you could be looking at significant damage....
Then, the Shield broke up and all the members were on their own. Ambrose wasn’t just ready to be the man he is today. He’s currently the WWE World Heavyweight champion. Seth Rollins had all intentions of being the heel of the group. That left Reigns, who has the look, to take over John Cena’s place as the babyface who runs the place. It certainly seemed that way when he became the WWE World Heavyweight champion after defeated Triple H at WrestleMania 32....

When racial profiling became an issue in the war against terrorism, I–an avowed liberal–found myself wondering what I would do if I saw someone who appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent behaving in a way that could be considered “suspicious.” A few months ago I stopped wondering. A plane my 16-year-old son and I were scheduled to board was swapped with another because of mechanical problems. Although I was relieved to know we were boarding an aircraft that checked out, I still felt uneasy about flying because of the “shoe bomber” incident three days earlier....
In a letter inviting stakeholders to participate in the program, ICE Chicago Field Office Director Robert Guadian said the six-week course, which is expected to launch in September, would be the “first of its kind” and would serve as a “pilot for nationwide implementation.” Included in the program’s training, he said, would be “scenario-based training and exercises” on “defensive tactics, firearms familiarization and targeted arrests.” While the course focused on ERO might be the “first of its kind,” according to ICE’s website, the agency’s first Citizens Academy was piloted in 2012 under the Obama administration....
The veteran guard went into the offseason hoping to land a lucrative contract, but he had to settle for a one-year, $5.9 million deal with the Celtics. That final number was a far cry from the four-year, $84 million extension that the Lakers had reportedly offered to Schroder. His decision to reject that extension turned Schroder into a popular target of online jokes and memes, which he embraced earlier this month....
You ask, Ed who? Is he some special teams guy who missed a block or something? No, Ed Thorp was not even at Minnesota’s wild-card playoff game at TCF Bank Stadium.

On Thursday, Garland appointed Robert Hur to serve as the special counsel overseeing the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into classified documents found in Biden’s possession. Twice this week, the White House revealed that Obama-era records were discovered—the first batch at a think-tank office formerly used by Biden and the second in the garage at his Delaware residence. While the discovery of the documents—and the revelations that they were found in November and December—have prompted fresh criticism of Biden and federal law enforcement agencies, the decision to appoint a special counsel has elevated the situation to another level....
The World Cup changes careers. Yedlin went from longshot to make the U.S. roster to impact substitute in Brazil to Premier League target in less than three months. That fast. He was a promising right back with limited experience as the 2014 MLS season began. After it ends, he’ll be headed off to play in the sport’s most popular domestic league. He did not start for the U.S. in any of its World Cup games, but Yedlin made enough of an impression to intrigue scouts from a club with UEFA Champions League ambition....
Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle has allowed readers to help fill out his ballot in the past, according to USA Today. The Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) stripped Le Batard, an ESPN personality, of his voting privileges this week because of his act. Ortiz is the BBWAA's vice president. Something's wrong with this picture, right? What's the difference between what Le Batard did and what Ortiz has done?...
