The headliner this week will be No. 9 Tennessee playing host to top-ranked Alabama in Neyland Stadium. The Vols need to rebound after their loss to Texas A&M if they want to preserve their chance to play in the SEC championship, and a loss would certainly put that in jeopardy. Meanwhile, SEC West teams Arkansas and Ole Miss play to keep their own conference championship hopes alive. Both teams will be rooting for Tennessee....

Centurion University of Technology and Management and SEDA have signed an International Cooperation Agreement for Training & Capacity Building, supported by the Australian Government. The partnership between the Centurion University of Technology and Management and SEDA will see the development of sports and fitness vocational courses in India. The course will be the first in India to utilise training in sports, fitness, wellness and lifestyle that focus on applied learning and vocational skills....

Vague details pertaining to story and setting are great, but what people really want are screens and video of the game in action. Unfortunately, the latter has yet to come out, but on the flip side, the first screens for Dragon Age II have been provided, showing Hawke in his “I’m killing Darkspawn” mode. The graphics still look a little rough around the edges, but I’m sure the coming months will allow the team to polish a bit more....

ValuJet is clearly in trouble and is acting fast to reassure the public. The airline is cooperating with an FAA probe, voluntarily cutting many of its flights while the agency inspects its jets. In addition, ValuJet late last week named a high-profile “safety czar” to oversee the airline’s maintenance operation. Some of those steps may be working. Despite the crash, almost 50 percent of those surveyed in a NEWSWEEK Poll said they wouldn’t have a problem flying Valujet....

While the Game Gear wasn’t the most popular piece of gaming hardware upon its release, having unfortunately lagged behind the Game Boy in terms of sales, it remains a treasured piece of gaming history. These miniature versions of the Game Gear come in four different colors and each version contains four different Game Gear games. However, none of the Game Gear variations contain Sonic: Triple Trouble. RELATED: Sega Rumored to Be Making Big Announcement Soon...

The Sega Game Gear, released in 1991, was Sega’s obnoxiously bulky competitor to Nintendo’s Game Boy and is mostly remembered for its color display screen (in response to the Game Boy’s black and green), and the fact that it ate up six AA batteries over the span of three to five hours. Needless to say the Game Gear didn’t light the world on fire, however, that hasn’t stopped Sega from wanting to bring back the classic machine in a form that fixes one of the original’s biggest flaws in the form of the Sega Game Gear Micro....

How to Get the Shura Ending The Shura ending is the quickest to obtain, and accessing it grants the Shura achievement. To begin your journey towards this ending, learn how to beat Corrupted Monk, and then slay him and the Guardian Ape. From there, Great Shinobi Owl waits for the player’s arrival at the rooftop of Ashina Castle, and speaking with him grants two choices: obey him or Kuro. Choose to obey Owl in order to initiate two boss fights and the Shura ending....

“I find the statement of American politics unacceptable and outrageous,” Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov said in a Facebook post on Friday. “The degree of Russophobia and hatred in the USA towards Russia is off the charts.” “It’s getting scary for the fate of the United States, which has such irresponsible and unprofessional politicians at the helm. We demand official explanations and decisive condemnation of this American’s criminal statements,” Antonov added....

Senators Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Bill Cassidy (R-L.A.) have proposed a $500 billion fund for state and local governments as part of the next coronavirus relief package. The State and Municipal Aid for Recovery and Transition (SMART) bill would distribute the money according to population, infection rates and revenue loss. It’s the exact amount requested by the National Governors Association, which is a feat, considering the partisan infighting that has surrounded legislation related to the COVID-19 outbreak....

Warner, in a recent wide-ranging interview with Newsweek, explains why the era of unregulated Big Tech may be coming to an end. Here are some edited excerpts: Newsweek: You said the 2016 election revealed “The dark underbelly of an entire system.” Is there any chance of protective legislation being passed before the election season? Isn’t it an emergency? Warner: Our system is not secure in 2020. I would argue there are a variety of solutions that would get 80 votes on the floor of the Senate if we were allowed to vote....

The 25-year-old picked up the injury while on national team duty where he helped Senegal beat Cape Verde Islands 2-0 in a 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier last weekend. His injury would come as a massive blow for the Lions of Teranga, who are in pole position to qualify next year’s finals in Russia. But for Stuart Baxter and Bafana Bafana, it would be a welcome relief, especially because the South Africans need to beat Senegal over two legs to book their place in next year’s Fifa World Cup....

While most surgical outcomes are positive, it’s a good idea to be knowledgeable about what to expect from the surgery, especially in terms of the recovery process and the risks involved. What Is a Septoplasty? Septoplasty is a common surgical procedure performed by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. It may also be performed by a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon, especially if a rhinoplasty (surgery to change the size, shape, and/or symmetry of the nose for aesthetic reasons) is being simultaneously performed....

Serbia face Switzerland in Kaliningrad on Friday, knowing victory would seal their passage from Group E after edging Costa Rica 1-0. Switzerland held World Cup favourites Brazil to a shock draw last week and Manchester United midfielder Matic expects them to provide another tough challenge for Serbia. “We’re aware of what’s in store for us,” Matic told reporters on Thursday. “They have quality throughout. Great individual players. “We expect a hellish game but we’re ready for anything....

Williams was in danger of a stunning quarter-final exit after world number 52 Camila Giorgi became the first player in this year’s tournament to take a set off the former world number one. But Serena bludgeoned her way out of trouble, winning 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to stay on course for an eighth All England Club triumph. It was Serena’s 100th career main draw victory on grass. The 36-year-old will play German 13th seed Julia Goerges on Thursday for a place in Saturday’s final....

Williams erupted having received a code violation for coaching and a further punishment for racquet abuse, before she branded Ramos a “liar” and a “thief”, conduct which earned her a game penalty and, later, a $17,000 fine. The 23-time grand slam champion alleged she was being treated differently to her male counterparts. In an attempt to understand Williams’ Flushing Meadows meltdown, Omnisport spoke to sports psychologist Andy Barton for his reading of the outburst....

In incredible scenes at Flushing Meadows on Saturday, Williams, aiming to equal Court’s record of grand slam triumphs, received a series of code violations en route to a 6-2 6-4 defeat to her 20-year-old opponent. Williams initially felt hard done by when handed a first-set warning for what chair official Carlos Ramos believed to be on-court coaching. The home favourite was then docked a point for racket abuse, having been broken in the second set, subsequently brandishing Ramos a “liar” and a “thief”, comments which the umpire deemed to be verbal abuse, warranting a game penalty....

Former world number one Williams became a mother to daughter Alexis Olympia on September 1 last year via emergency C-section. It was supposed to be a cherished and enjoyable moment but it was one of fear for the 36-year-old American star, who did not defend her Australian Open title after sitting out the opening slam of 2018. “I almost died after giving birth to my daughter, Olympia,” Williams – who made her competitive return in the Fed Cup but lost a dead rubber alongside sister Venus – wrote in her column for CNN....

Willingham isn’t a tennis star, but she is a black woman. She and others like her say Williams’ experience resonates with them because they are often forced to watch their tone and words in the workplace in ways that men and other women are not. And if they’re not careful, they say, they risk being branded “Angry Black Woman.” “So much of what she experiences we experience in the workplace, too,” said Willingham, a professor of criminal justice at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh....

The first season has been, well, not good in Seattle. It didn’t take long before the fantasy of repeating the success the Golden Knights had in their first season was thrown out the window. The Kraken are a team that lacks star power all around, with weaknesses on both offense and defense holding the team back. So far, the Kraken have amassed a record of 18-27-6 while averaging the third-lowest goals per game (2....
