Ashwin ripped through the England batting line-up to return figures of 5/67 while Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Jayant Yadav bagged a wicket each as England were bowled out for 255 in their first innings shortly before the tea break. Opener Murali Vijay and Lokesh Rahul were at the crease as India went into tea at 8/0. Earlier, Ben Stokes top scored for the visitors with 70 while Jonny Bairstow also notched up a half-century for England....

These advanced automation use cases are being built on a shaky foundation. IoT represents a complex system-of-systems architecture, composed of: • A diverse array of devices capable of sensing and/or acting on their environment. • A communication layer capable of local and remote interactions. • Services and applications that provide management, analytics, data storage and other support. Devices may be simple or complex. Either way, we have seen many examples of devices that are shipped to market with basic weaknesses, such as hard-coded passwords, the use of insecure services, insecure third-party libraries, lack of encryption and lack of secure update mechanisms....

Braithwaite reads constantly and posts reviews obsessively, specializing in his fellow mystery writers but making border raids on every conceivable genre. Typically, he’ll begin a review with the phrase As a mystery writer with my debut novel in its initial release and then find some way to make his resume seem relevant to matter at hand. Often this is easy: “As a mystery writer with my debut novel in its initial release, I have been reading Robert Ludlum’s thrillers for (gasp!...

Umbilical cords are ordinarily discarded at birth. But researchers now know they are a rich source of stem cells, which produce platelets and red and white blood cells, even when transplanted into ailing patients. Traditionally, stem cells have been extracted from bone marrow, but that process is expensive (as much as $25,000) and painful to the donor. Extracting cord blood costs far less, requires no invasive surgery and donors and recipients need not match perfectly....

The Red Giants travel to Kuala Terengganu on Wednesday night to take on the Titans in round 11 of the Super League. Although Selangor are fourth and T-Team are in seventh place in the standings, they are only separated by three points, with both teams already securing their Malaysia Cup spots. In round 10, Selangor nicked a 2-2 draw away to Pahang, while T-Team famously produced a major upset at home, trouncing one-time league leaders Kedah 5-0....

The loudest cheers at Qatar Sports Club, however, were reserved for local high jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim, the world champion and 2017 IAAF athlete of the year. He won with 2.36 meters, then cleared 2.40 at his first attempt. Barshim, who was undefeated in 11 competitions last year, finally failed at 2.42, three centimeters off the world record. “2.40 is my best season-opener ever, and it comes in front of my mother and my home crowd....

Russian news agency Tass reported on Tuesday that Putin had sent a telegram to Biden, congratulating him after his formal victory in the Electoral College on Monday. Although Biden was projected to be the president-elect more than a month ago, Putin had declined to offer his congratulations as President Donald Trump’s legal challenges proceeded ahead of the Electoral College vote. McConnell did congratulate Biden later on Tuesday morning after news of Putin’s message to the president-elect broke....

Durbin made the remarks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Results from the Maricopa County audit, which was conducted by the inexperienced firm Cyber Ninjas at the behest of the Republican-controlled Arizona state Senate, were released on September 24 and did not uncover any evidence of massive election fraud. Durbin, who chairs the committee, dismissed GOP efforts to combat non-exist massive fraud by passing restrictive voting bills at the state level, specifically denouncing the controversial legislation that Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law after a partisan standoff in August....

The case was the sixth major kidnapping in recent months to garner wall-to-wall media coverage–the result of a new symbiosis between law enforcement eager to spread news of abductions to generate tips and media outlets willing to comply for reasons ranging from civic spirit to good ratings. Critics decry the constant coverage as wretched media excess, comparing it to last summer’s overheated warnings about shark attacks (in both cases, there weren’t more attacks, just more stories about them)....

Maisy’s bond with Richard, a 90-year-old resident of a nearby retirement village, first caught the eye after the dog’s owner shared a selection of clips to TikTok under the handle mspeelhmb. In the most popular video, which has been viewed 1.4 million times, Maisy can be seen wagging her tail and low growling in excitement as Richard makes his way towards her with the help of a rollator. Once he reaches her, Maisy wastes little time in going over for a cuddle—and Richard is only too happy to oblige....

Prince Ali bin al-Hussein withdrew after the first round of voting, when Blatter initially failed to earn the necessary 140 votes for a two-thirds majority. The first round of voting was 133 for Blatter and 73 for al-Hussein.

Serena Williams crushed her older sibling Venus 6-1, 6-2 to reach the final of the Family Circle Cup in the most lop-sided match of their WTA Tour careers between the American sisters. In the first match between them in four years, Serena needed just 54 minutes to send Venus packing on the green clay surface here on Saturday. Defending champion Serena dominated from the opening serve against Venus who had eight double faults and won just 27 percent of her second serves....

“For every negative comment, there are 300,000 positive ones,’’ Williams told The Miami Herald . “My fans are incredibly supportive. I look like a normal athlete, a normal woman walking down the street, a thicker one. I’m OK with that. I love that. You have to be OK with yourself no matter if you’re size 0 or a little bigger, like me. A lot of other people say I inspire them to be comfortable with themselves....

WHAT’S NEW The Seattle Mariners signed Robinson Cano, this season's biggest free agent, and gave the New York Yankees a taste of their own medicine in the process. Seattle had to pay handsomely, of course, shelling out $240 million over 10 years. Cano instantly becomes the best hitter in a lineup that finished second in homers (188) in 2013. He's the type of hitter that can lift an entire offense, but who will step up and take advantage of his presence?...

In a Twitter thread on Saturday, the nurse said an officer that she identified as Eric Whitehead had “blatantly refused” to put a mask on while in the hospital to obtain a statement from an assault patient. They added that several nurses had handed the officer masks to wear, but he threw them away. “This officer came into a hotbed of an infectious disease pandemic, deliberately violated not only hospital policy but state mandated public heath actions and common human decency, and spoke to frontline workers like we were garbage....

There nearly were 69,000 fans at Lumen Field for the game against Pumas of Liga MX. That, as well, made it appear the game had all the heft of an illustrious sporting occasion. And then it began, and it proceeded, and ultimately ended with the Sounders winning the second leg of the series by an overwhelming three-goal shutout that clinched a 5-2 aggregate victory for the first championship ever in this event by a club from the United States, by one from Major League Soccer....

The problem is, there's only so much Kentucky to go around. To that end, we give you a breakdown of the 2014 SEC schedule. They've spent months figuring out this bridge schedule -- with the heavy lifting coming after a series of complaints by Miles, who thought his LSU team wasn't getting a fair shake. Of course LSU wasn't the only team with a gripe about the 6-1-1 setup of the eight-game schedule, one that more than likely will turn into a 6-2-1 nine-game schedule in 2016....

Democrats want the next round of stimulus relief to include $25 billion for the postal service. The White House could support the funding proposal, however, agreeing to the provision would require Democrats to yield to some of the administration’s demands, and the two slides remained heavily divided as talks stalled and senators left Washington, D.C. on Thursday. President Donald Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Thursday that without money for the post office, Democrats can’t have mail-in ballots because it’ll be unworkable....
