The Latest: Jameis Winston benched by Bucs for Fitzpatrick
By National Football Post
The Latest on Week 8 in the NFL on Sunday (all times EDT):
Tampa Bay QB Jameis Winston was benched and replaced by backup Ryan Fitzpatrick in the third quarter after throwing four interceptions against Cincinnati.
Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft, was just 18 for 35 for 276 yards, one TD and the four picks.
Fitzpatrick started the first three games this season, while Winston was serving a suspension.
Well, this was an appropriate way to mark a TD at World Series time.
Tyler Lockett was the pitcher and fellow Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin was the batter in Seattle's clever touchdown celebration at Detroit.
After one of the Seahawks' three second-quarter TDs, Seattle players acted out a baseball scene in the end zone. The "pitch" was Lockett throwing the football to Baldwin, and when Baldwin was hit by the ball, he ran at Lockett as if charging the mound, then threw a phantom punch.
Two other Seattle receivers joined in on the fun: Jaron Brown acted as the catcher, and David Moore served as the umpire.
Ben Roethlisberger and Adrian Peterson moved up a couple of pretty significant NFL lists by overtaking a couple of pretty significant names.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Roethlisberger surpassed Fran Tarkenton for No. 8 on the list of most touchdown throws with No. 343.
That came on a 1-yard TD toss to Antonio Brown with 10 seconds left in the first half against the Cleveland Browns. That was Big Ben's second touchdown pass of the day.
No. 7 in NFL history is New York Giants QB Eli Manning, who entered Sunday with 346.
Peyton Manning holds the record with 539.
Washington Redskins running back Peterson surpassed Tony Dorsett for No. 9 on the career rushing chart with a 4-yard gain around the right end late in the first half against the New York Giants.
That play put Peterson at 12,743 yards for his career, ahead of Dorsett's total of 12,739. Even when Peterson lost 3 yards on his next carry, he stayed in front of Dorsett.
Next on the list is No. 8 Eric Dickerson with 13,259 yards. The record-holder is Emmitt Smith, with 18,355.
The Detroit Lions inducted Herman Moore, Roger Brown and the late Alex Karras into the Pride of the Lions during halftime of their game against Seattle.
Brown said he was overcome with emotion when he was told of the honor given to the franchise's greats.
"I cried," said Brown, a five-time Pro Bowler. "To be out on the field and look at all the names, I never saw mine, and I wanted mine up there. And now it's happening."
Brown was recognized along with Karras, a "Fearsome Foursome" defensive linemate. Karras died in 2012.
Karras was a four-time All-Pro selection and later starred as a film and television actor.
Moore once held the NFL record for receptions in a season with 123.
Moore is second in Lions history in catches (670), receiving yards (9,174) and receiving touchdowns (62).
The Seahawks were up 21-7 at halftime.
Demonstrators gathered outside the Panthers' stadium in support of Carolina safety Eric Reid and his protest against social and racial injustice.
The organization, known as Serve The People-Charlotte, held signs and chanted on a sidewalk near the stadium before the game against the visiting Ravens, then gathered at a nearby street to take a knee just before kickoff.
About 50 people participated in the protest outside the stadium, while Reid was taking a knee on the Carolina sideline inside during the national anthem.
Jabril Hough, a Panthers season ticket holder who has refused to stand during the national anthem since former NBA player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf remained seated nearly 23 years ago, organized the protest.
"We want to show Eric Reid he is not alone," Hough said. "We're also recognizing we have an owner (David Tepper) who recognizes Eric's right to do that."
The demonstration went off without counter-protest or police action.
How many coaches have the guts to make this call?
Leading 7-0 in the first quarter at Carolina, Ravens coach John Harbaugh went for a fake punt from his own 10-yard line on a fourth-and-1 — and Baltimore appeared to pick it up easily with Anthony Levine plowing ahead for an 8-yard gain.
Not so fast, though.
The Ravens were called for an illegal shift on the play, wiping out the first down, and they wound up punting.
Damon "Snacks" Harrison has made his debut for the Detroit Lions.
The crowd at Ford Field cheered when Harrison's name was announced and his picture appeared on the videoboards before kickoff against Seattle.
The run-stuffing defensive tackle was acquired from the New York Giants for a fifth-round pick. His first practice with the Lions was on Thursday.
Harrison did not start against the Seahawks, but he did come in on the third and fourth snaps and helped make a tackle both times.
The game was preceded by a moment of silence for Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder and Seahawks owner who died Oct. 15. This was Seattle's first game since then, because they had a bye last week.
The Browns and Steelers observed a moment of silence at Heinz Field for the 11 people killed by a gunman inside a Pittsburgh synagogue a day earlier.
There were other such tributes at NFL games elsewhere Sunday.
Eight men and three women were murdered inside the Tree of Life Synagogue during services on Saturday. The names of the victims, which included a pair of brothers and a married couple, were released Sunday.
In a statement issued before his team's game, Steelers owner Art Rooney II said: "Our hearts are heavy, but we must stand against anti-Semitism and hate crimes of any nature and come together to preserve our values and our community."
Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto called the slayings the "darkest day of Pittsburgh's history."
Carson Wentz set aside turnovers on Philadelphia's opening two drives and threw a trio of TD passes to lead the Super Bowl champion Eagles past the collapsing Jacksonville Jaguars 24-18 at Wembley Stadium in London.
The first time the Eagles (4-4) had the ball, Wentz fumbled on a sack. The next, Jalen Ramsey picked him off in the end zone.
But the Jaguars (3-5) only managed to turn that pair of opportunities into one measly field goal and were on their way to a fourth consecutive loss.
This was not a great trip overseas for the Jaguars: Four players were detained by the police in the wee hours of Saturday over a bar bill.
Wentz wound up 21 for 30 for 286 yards and scoring passes to Dallas Goedert with 29 seconds left in the first half, and to Wendell Smallwood and Zach Ertz in the second half.
Former Carolina receiver Rae Carruth's son, Chancellor Lee Adams, attended the Panthers' home game against the Ravens — six days after Carruth was released following 18-plus years in prison in connection to the murder of Adams' mother.
The 19-year-old Adams has brain damage and cerebral palsy as a result of his mother's shooting.
Adams wore a white No. 1 jersey of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton on Sunday, when he spent time on Carolina's sideline with his grandmother, Saundra Adams, before kickoff. Several players greeted Chancellor Lee Adams, including safety Eric Reid, who gave him his playing gloves.
Carruth, who played for the Panthers from 1997-99, was convicted of conspiracy to murder Cherica Adams in 1999. He was released from Sampson Correctional Institution in Clinton, North Carolina, on Monday and is now living in Pennsylvania. He remains on post-release probation and cannot leave the country for nine months.
Philadelphia Eagles left tackle Jason Peters returned to the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London after being evaluated for a concussion, but right tackle Lane Johnson will not after sustaining a knee injury.
Peters left the game in the second quarter before undergoing medical scans. Johnson left the game at the end of the Eagles' first series.

Tiger (6-over) projected to miss cut at The Open
Tiger Woods will likely miss the cut at The Open after shooting a 1-under 70 in the second round at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland on Friday.
Woods appeared to recover from a disastrous first round on Thursday — he labored to a 7-over 78 — but bogeys on the final two holes left him at 6-over for the tournament.
Stamina and physical health were questioned in Woods' media session after his first two rounds. While he said there is no specific injury, Woods confessed he's beaten down emotionally by his physical limitations.
"There were some physical issues — it was more frustrating than anything else," Woods said. "This is me not playing well. Not scoring well. I don't have the flexibility I once had. … There are times it's going to be there, times it won't.
"There's been a lot of travel lately. I just want to go home."
The cut line was hovering around 2-over par, but had shifted to 1-over as the morning wave finished the second round.
Woods entered the second round 12 shots off the lead, but birdied two of the first six holes to pick up momentum.
A bogey on the par-5 No. 7 interrupted his strong start, though he quickly got back on track with birdies on Nos. 10 and 11.
After a string of pars, Woods followed up a bogey on No. 17 with another on No. 18 as his chances faded away.
The highest opening round by a champion of The Open since World War II was a 75 by Gary Player in 1959.
Woods began the week ranked No. 5 in the world, and could have climbed as high as No. 2 with a victory.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill will not be punished under the personal conduct policy as the NFL closed its formal investigation into multiple alleged physical altercations.
Hill pleaded guilty to an assault and battery charge in 2015 but a full version of an audio recording aired recently revealed Hill denying assaulting his fiancée.
"Based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy," the statement reads.
"Accordingly, he may attend Kansas City's training camp and participate in all club activities. He has been and will continue to be subject to conditions set forth by the District Court, Commissioner [Roger] Goodell, and the Chiefs, which include clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention."
The Chiefs announced in late April that Hill has been barred from team activities. In three seasons with the Chiefs after he was a fifth-round draft choice out of West Alabama in 2016, Hill has 223 catches for 3,255 yards and 25 touchdowns.
The Chiefs released a statement on Friday welcoming Hill back to the team for the start of training camp next week.
"We have been informed of the decision by the National Football League that, based on the available evidence, the league has not found that Tyreek Hill violated the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. Based on the information provided to us by the league, we have decided it is appropriate for Tyreek to return to the team at the start of training camp. The club fully supports the conditions for return laid out by the league and will continue to monitor any new developments in the case. We are glad to welcome Tyreek back to the team and look forward to the start of training camp next week."
In the recently released recording, played by 610 KCSP radio, Hill is heard telling Crystal Espinal that he "didn't touch you in 2014."
"You f—ing ruined my life and you lied on me in 2014," Hill told Espinal. "I'm still not over that. I didn't touch you in 2014.
"You lied on me in 2014. If you want to rewind that night, we can rewind that night, too. You was in my house. And did I pick you up and slam you? Hell no. I picked you up and put you out my door and after that you left."
In August 2015, eight months after his arrest, Hill entered a guilty plea to domestic assault and battery by strangulation for allegedly punching and choking Espinal, who was pregnant at the time.
While entering his plea, Hill told a judge that he "did something I shouldn't have done" and that "I let my feelings take control of me," according to ESPN's reporting.
Kansas City television station KCTV aired another audio recording, believed to have been made as Hill and Espinal were in Dubai's international airport, that spurred the Johnson County District Attorney's Office to take a second look at a possible criminal case involving injuries to the couple's 3-year-old son.
The television station said it received the audio from "someone who is concerned about the welfare of the couple's child."
When police responded to their home previously, there were signs that a crime had been committed against the child, but the District Attorney's Office said it would not have been able to prove who did it.
In the 11-minute audio file released in April, Espinal is heard telling Hill that the boy said "Daddy did it," referring to an injury to the child's arm.
The league left the door open for potential discipline down the line, saying "If further information becomes available through law enforcement, the pending court proceeding, or other sources, we will promptly consider it and take all appropriate steps at that time."
Tiger 500-1 to rally for The Open Championship
Tiger Woods entered The Open Championship as a 20-1 bet to claim his 16th career major title this week at Royal Portrush.
After a sloppy and disastrous 7-over-par 78 in Thursday's opening round, PointsBet and FanDuel dropped those odds to 500-1, as Woods will need a stellar round on Friday to even sniff the cut line.
He was given the same odds to win as David Duval, who carded a 91 on Thursday.
Woods began the week ranked No. 5 in the world, with an opportunity to climb as high as No. 2 with a victory. Others in his odds category entering Friday include the likes of Champions tour regular Tom Lehman, 528th-ranked Innchoon Hwang of South Korea, No. 350 Nino Bertasio of Italy and No. No. 327 Yosuke Asaji of Japan.
Woods looked so out of sorts, admitting after his round that he's not feeling 100 percent physically, that Rory McIlroy has odds twice as good to win the tournament despite sitting another shot back at 8 over.
After offering everything from whether Woods would be paired with Sergio Garcia at some point during the tournament to whether he would keep the flagstick in on the final shot of a victory, the only Tiger-related prop bet being offered by PointsBet on Thursday was a "3-ball" bet. Woods is favored at +169 to play better on Friday than England's Matt Wallace (+176, currently at 2 over) and former Masters champion Patrick Reed (+183, currently at even par).
For those who believe Woods can make one of his vaunted comebacks, PointsBet is offering a 30-1 bet that Woods can rally to finish within the top 10. FanDuel is offering 100-1 that he can climb his way into the top 5, but a less aggressive play is the 10-1 to rally for a top 40 finish.
Then again, that's shorter odds than the 11-1 FanDuel is offering for the same bet on Phil Mickelson, who begins Round 2 two shots ahead of Woods at 5 over.
Dolphins' Norton discharged from hospital after losing arm
Two weeks after a car accident
Two weeks after a car accident led to him losing his left arm, Dolphins defensive tackle Kendrick Norton walked out of a Miami hospital Thursday afternoon after being discharged, offering his gratitude after his life-changing amputation.
The 22-year-old Norton, who underwent six surgeries since his July 4 wreck, spoke on camera briefly from the parking lot at Jackson Memorial Hospital and thanked his numerous supporters through the ordeal.
"I just want to give a big thank you first of all to God for me still being here," Norton said. "Second of all to Jackson Medical Center. They did a great job. They took great care of me while I was in here.
"Next, I want to thank the Miami Dolphins family. They've been crazy with how much help they've been willing to give and, you know, they really didn't have to. … Everyone's been showing so much support and so much love. I really appreciate it. … They've been a big part of me being able to even be out this early."
Norton, who played at the University of Miami, said that several Dolphins teammates and coaches came to see him in the hospital often, and cited first-year head coach Brian Flores as a daily guest to his hospital room since the career-ending accident.
Norton spent most of the 2018 season on the Panthers' practice squad after Carolina selected him in the seventh round of the 2018 draft. The Dolphins signed him in December.
NFL officials have said league and team insurance will cover his medical bills.
Norton was cited with making an improper lane change, per a Florida Highway Patrol report. He suddenly pulled his F-250 truck in front of a Maserati and clipped it, sending his car into a concrete barrier. The other driver was not injured, and the report said drugs or alcohol were not believed to be a factor.
Poston matches course record at Barbasol Championship
J.T. Poston tied the course record with a 10-under-par 62 to grab the first-round lead in the Barbasol Championship at Nicholasville, Ky.
The 26-year-old North Carolina native produced 11 birdies and one bogey at Keene Trace Golf Club's Champion course. He sits one shot ahead of Canada's Nick Taylor and two shots in front of Wes Roach.
Kelly Kraft, Kramer Hickok, D.J. Trahan, Roberto Castro, Jim Herman, Bill Haas, Josh Teater and Colombia's Sebastian Munoz are tied for fourth at 7 under.
Poston notched birdies on six of his first eight holes before recording his lone bogey on the par-3 ninth hole. He bounced back with five more birdies on the back nine, rolling in a 27-foot putt to end his round and match the course record.
"It was one of those days, everything clicked and I was hitting it so good, I didn't have that many lengthy birdie putts I made until the last hole," Poston said. "I kind of hit it like that the last month or so and had a couple of good rounds. …
"Lot of rain last night, so (the greens) are soft and they are really good greens and you can make a lot of putts. They are rolling really well."
Former major champion Jason Dufner is tied for 15th at 5 under par.
John Daly, who pulled out of this week's Open Championship a week ago after being denied a medical exemption for the use of a golf cart, shot a 1-under 71 on Thursday in the Barbasol event.
The alternate-field tournament is being held concurrently with The Open, which is underway at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

–A 64-year-old Missouri man who aimed a laser pointer at New England quarterback Tom Brady's face during the AFC Championship pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and must pay a $500 fine.
Dwyan Morgan of Lee's Summit faced up to a year in jail or a fine up to $1,000, Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in April. The incident happened in the fourth quarter of the Patriots' 37-31 overtime win against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Jan. 20.
A photographer for KMBC in Kansas City recorded evidence of a green laser shining in Brady's face. Prosecutors did not say how investigators were able to determine that Morgan was allegedly involved. Morgan has been banned for life from the stadium.
–The Denver Broncos signed wide receiver Steven Dunbar Jr., filling out their 90-man roster.
Contract terms were not announced. He takes the spot of Aaron Burbridge, who unexpectedly retired Wednesday at age 25 and was waived.
Dunbar, a 23-year-old Houston product who went undrafted in 2018, spent most of last year on the San Francisco 49ers practice squad, appearing in just one game. In college, he caught 180 passes for 2,430 yards, adding 11 touchdowns for the Cougars.
The Denver Broncos saw one of their
The Denver Broncos saw one of their defensive starters get carted off the field on the opening practice of training camp, but the team may have dodged a serious injury.
Inside linebacker Todd Davis, the Broncos' leading tackler last season, went down to injury Thursday in Englewood, Colo., but he is expected to miss only three to four weeks, according to multiple media outlets.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero later reported that an MRI showed a partially torn calf muscle, but the timetable should allow Davis to return to action before the start of the regular season.
"It was the very last one rep (with starters on the field) I had of the whole day. The very last play," Davis said, per 9News in Denver. "I went to plant and run towards the ball. The ball was thrown, and I just felt something kind of pull in my calf. Nothing major happened."
The 27-year-old, a full-time starter for the past three seasons in Denver, enjoyed a career year in 2018, recording personal bests in tackles, passes defensed (seven), tackles for loss (six) and quarterback hits (five).
Originally a rookie waiver pickup by the Broncos after the New Orleans Saints signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Sacramento State in 2014, Davis has played in all 16 games in three of the past four seasons. For his career, Davis has 338 tackles, two sacks and one interception in 71 games (49 starts).
Davis is expected to be a key ingredient in new head coach Vic Fangio's defense this season as the Broncos come off a 6-10 campaign, one in which they ended the season by dropping their final four games.
Duval cards 14, shoots 91 in Round 1
Thirteen-time PGA Tour winner David Duval walked off the 18th green at Royal Portrush and the first round of The Open Championship on Thursday wondering what just hit him.
"Just done something I've never done as a professional," Duval said in Portrush, Northern Ireland. "It was a long day, a rough day. A very unique, awful situation."
Duval carded a career-worst 14 on a single hole and finished with a 91, six shots more than the 47-year-old ever previously needed in his worst round as a pro.
The 1991 Open winner played in four prior PGA Tour events this year and participated in a Korn Ferry Tour event last week in Colorado. As a past major champion, he remains exempt for The Open until age 60. Duval might feel as if he aged rapidly on Thursday.
On the par-5, 592-yard seventh hole, Duval hit two tee shots that weren't found by marshals immediately. He was required to hit a provisional tee shot in the event neither of the first two balls could be located in the thick rough.
With no luck discovering the first two shots, Duval approached and hit what he thought was his ball — and fifth shot on the hole.
But it wasn't his ball, and this fact wasn't apparent until Duval already had hit the ball multiple times.
"I get up to the front of the green, I discover it was the wrong No. 2 Titleist," he said. "I am at fault, I didn't check it myself close enough. It happened to me once before — a marshal is standing right next to the ball. It's just my mistake."
The punishment was Duval returning to the tee box to start all over, plus a two-stroke penalty.
Six shots later, he rolled in for a 14.
"It's fairly unsettling," Duval said. "As a professional, if you play, you post your score. Is there some hint of embarrassment to it? I don't know, but I teed off and what I shot at the end of the day, put it on the board."
He wound up with three scores of triple bogey or worse on Thursday, a dubious accomplishment that hadn't happened in the same round at The Open since 2003, when Duval shot 83 at Royal St. George's.
Tiger struggles to opening 78 at The Open
Tiger Woods arrived at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland this week admitting his game was not as sharp as he would like entering the final major of the year.
The inconsistency in Woods' game – and inability to control the shape of his shots – was on full display during a 7-over-par 78 on Thursday that left him 12 shots off J.B. Holmes' first-round lead.
Woods will now have to post a very solid score on Friday just to reach the weekend.
Appearing to be holding off from some of his typically aggressive swings, Woods managed to get through the first four holes in even par including a miraculous par on the first hole.
"I'm not moving as well as I'd like," Woods said. "Certain shots I just can't hit. Father time, the procedures I've had … just the way it's going to be from here on out. It's why I'm not playing as often anymore on the PGA Tour."
The highest opening round in The Open by an eventual champion in event history is 75.
Woods bogeyed the par-4 fifth hole, then doubled the par-3 sixth. Two more bogeys over the next three holes left Woods with a 5-over 41 on the front nine.
He added another bogey on No. 10 and one more at the 14th to drop to 7 over for the first time. In jeopardy of posting only the sixth birdie-free round of his major career, Woods rolled in a lengthy putt on No. 15 to finally gain a stroke back, raising his arms in a feigned celebration.
After a pair of pars, Woods pulled his drive left off the 18th hole. He chopped out of the rough, chipped onto the green and missed his par putt.
Woods will play in the morning wave Friday, with the cut line expected to fall around 2-over par depending on what type of weather conditions players face in the second round.
Woods was hardly the only marquee player to feel the wrath of Royal Portrush.
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy hit his opening drive out of bounds en route to an 8-over 79, while Phil Mickelson stumbled to a 5-over 76.
Holmes alone in lead after first round at The Open
J.B. Holmes grabbed a one-shot lead after the first round of The Open Championship on Thursday while local favorite Rory McIlroy struggled at Royal Portrush Golf Club in the tournament's return to Northern Ireland after a 68-year wait.
Holmes shot a 5-under-par 66, leaving him one stroke ahead of another local favorite, Ireland's Shane Lowry, on a day when Phil Mickelson posted a 76 and Tiger Woods limped home with a 78. McIlroy, who shot a course-record 61 as a 16-year-old amateur at Royal Portrush in 2005, tumbled to a 79.
Holmes, a 37-year-old who has never won a major tournament, started his round with his only bogey at the par-4 first hole before delivering three birdies in the next four holes. He added birdies at Nos. 12, 14 and 18.
"Every time you come over here, it's a unique experience," said Holmes, who has won once this year at the Genesis Open in Pacific Palisades, Calif. "You get the wind, the rain, and you play the ball on the ground a little bit more. You've got to be very patient, it's a march."
A group of 13 sits two shots back at 3 under par, including world No. 1 Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau, Spain's Sergio Garcia and England's Tommy Fleetwood and Lee Westwood.
Koepka, who won the PGA Championship in May and finished second at the U.S. Open in June, has won four major titles. His best finish at The Open was a tie for sixth in 2017. He finished tied for 39th last year at Carnoustie in Scotland, and he is looking to improve on that result by using a local caddie in this year's tournament.
"It's been relatively easy," Koepka said of his transition to the course. "He just tells me where to hit it, and I go from there. It's been fun. I've enjoyed it. It's fun to be in his hometown. Never being here, it's a special place."
One player who knows the course well is Northern Ireland's McIlroy, but the knowledge has not seemed to help. He opened with a quadruple-bogey 8 on No. 1, tied for his highest score on a hole at any PGA Tour event.
McIlroy also made a double bogey at No. 15 and a triple bogey at No. 18.
"It was obviously a disappointing day," said McIlroy, who tied his highest ever first round at The Open. "I didn't put it in the fairway enough to play."
Mickelson, whose 2013 victory at The Open was the last of his five major titles, had three bogeys on the front nine and four more on the back nine.
Woods, a three-time winner at The Open, had six bogeys plus a double bogey at the par-3 sixth hole.
Lowry's 67 was his lowest score in a major tournament. He made the turn at 3 under before recording a birdie at the par-4 10th hole, a bogey at the par-4 11th and another birdie at the par-5 12th.
New Zealand's Ryan Fox, who is in the group at 3 under par, shot a 6-under-par 29 on the back nine, the 15th score of 29 or better in the history of The Open and the lowest score ever on the back nine. All six of the birdies came on his final seven holes.
McIlroy implodes with 79 at The Open
Rory McIlroy shot an opening-round 79 at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland on Thursday, all but dashing dreams he'd win his first major title in five years in his home country.
"I would like to punch myself. I made a couple of stupid mistakes. I was pretty nervous on the first tee and hit a bad shot," McIlroy said Thursday.
The World No. 3 entered the tournament as the favorite or co-favorite to win by most sportsbooks, but making the cut is not a guarantee after he opened with a quadruple-bogey on the par-4, 421-yard first hole.
The round got off to a disastrous start for the 30-year-old. His drive sailed out of bounds, into thick brush and he wound up with a quadruple-bogey 8.
McIlroy said he wasn't rattled.
"It was almost as if that first tee shot settled me down a little bit," he told the Golf Channel after the round. "It was like, 'We can't start much worse than this, so we might as well just get the head down and get going. I thought that I showed some resilience around the middle of the round. Made a couple of birdies, got it back a little bit. But, whenever you play your first and last holes in a combined 7-over par, it's going to be a pretty tough day."
He added a bogey on No. 3, a double bogey on No. 16 and a triple bogey at No. 18. Only two birdies sprinkled in the round kept him from an over-80 score.
He hit eight of 14 fairways and 11 of 18 greens and needed 32 putts to complete the round. This is the same course where as a 16-year-old amateur in 2005 he set the course record of 61.
That time, he didn't have the weight of a nation on his shoulders, though he said he didn't feel the extra pressure.
"I don't think that was it. If anything, I think that people wanted it more for me than I … obviously I wanted it, and I wanted to play well," he said.
He will enter Friday's second round trying to make up some ground.
"I'm going to have to have a number in mind. I'd obviously love to be here for the weekend, and I need to shoot a pretty good score tomorrow for that to happen.," he said.
The early leader on the day was Irishman Shane Lowry, who shot a 4-under 67. Six players trailed him by one shot, including Spain's Sergio Garcia.
"It was tough all day," said Garcia. "This course is playing difficult. It was quite breezy. So some tough holes out there. Obviously 18 we played into the wind and with rain, so that played really long."
The Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos signed wide receiver Steven Dunbar Jr. on Thursday, filling out their 90-man roster.
Contract terms were not announced.
He takes the spot of Aaron Burbridge, who unexpectedly retired Wednesday at age 25 and was waived.
Dunbar, a 23-year-old Houston product who went undrafted in 2018, spent most of last year on the San Francisco 49ers practice squad, appearing in just one game.
In college, he caught 180 passes for 2,430 yards, adding 11 touchdowns for the Cougars.

Missouri man fined $500 for aiming laser at Pats' Brady
A 64-year-old Missouri man who aimed a laser pointer at New England quarterback Tom Brady's face during the AFC Championship game pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and must pay a $500 fine.
Dwyan Morgan of Lee's Summit faced up to a year in jail or a fine up to $1,000, Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in April.
The incident happened in the fourth quarter of the Patriots' 37-31 overtime win against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Jan. 20.
A photographer for KMBC in Kansas City recorded evidence of a green laser shining in Brady's face. Prosecutors did not say how investigators were able to determine that Morgan was allegedly involved.
Morgan has been banned for life from the stadium. He admitted in May in an interview with "Inside Edition" that, from his seat in the end zone, he aimed the laser at Brady in an effort to distract him.
Win or early flight home? Tiger props for The Open
Tiger Woods hasn't played a competitive round of golf since the U.S. Open, and he admitted he didn't feel particularly sharp as he arrived in Northern Ireland this week for The Open Championship.
Like most of the field, Woods isn't very familiar with Royal Portrush, but he has worked diligently to learn the nuances of the rolling links course this week. Still, expectations are tempered, with Woods listed at 20-1 by PointsBet just hours before teeing off in the first round Thursday.
Woods could leave Northern Ireland ranked as high as No. 2 in the world with a victory at The Open Championship. But few would be highly surprised if he doesn't even make the weekend, having played 10 total rounds on tour since winning the Masters in April.
That has created a bevy of interesting prop bets around his performance this week.
Tiger props by PointsBet:
–Finish Top 5: +380
–Finish Top 10: +185
–Finish Top 20: -110
–Round 1 Over/Under: 69.5
–Round 1 Leader (including ties): +3000
–To be the top USA player: +800
–Play in the final group on Sunday: +800
Those all lean toward how well Woods potentially can finish. For those who believe his game isn't in shape to even stick around for the weekend, the moneyline bet on him making the cut is -501.
Props can also be on the outlandish side, and there are some entertaining options around Woods. Among them:
–Will be paired with Sergio Garcia in any round: +600
–To win The Open AND final shot made with the flagstick in: +2200
–To make a hole-in-one: +10000
Then there are the individual battles. No. 4 Justin Rose of England is one spot ahead of Woods in the world rankings. Italy's Francesco Molinari is the defending champion. Xander Schauffele is the young American counterpart with a stellar — albeit short — history in 10 career majors.
Woods' odds to finish higher than each at Royal Portrush:
–vs. Rose: -110
–vs. Molinari: -122
–vs. Schauffele: -120
–To beat all three: +250. Rose and Molinari are each +250 on the same bet, while Schauffele is +300.
Woods has been the most dynamic figure in golf for the past two decades. His ability to win the Masters this year and then play only sparingly since — without being in contention on a Sunday — has created a special kind of wagering dynamic.
NFL notebook: Falcons sign LB Jones to hefty extension
The Atlanta Falcons signed linebacker Deion Jones to a four-year extension on Wednesday, putting him under contract through 2023.
Jones' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told multiple media outlets the extension is worth $57 million with $34 million guaranteed for injury. According to The MMQB, the deal includes an $11 million signing bonus, $13.45 million paid in 2019 and $35.5 million over the first three years, with $25.8 million guaranteed in full.
The annual average of $14.25 million makes Jones the second-highest-paid off-ball linebacker in the NFL, behind only the Jets' C.J. Mosley ($17 million). His guaranteed money also trails only Mosley ($51 million) at the position.
Jones, 24, was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. A second-round pick out of LSU in 2016, he had 244 tackles (14 for loss), six interceptions and 21 pass breakups in 31 games (29 starts) through two seasons, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2017. He was limited to six games in 2018 due to a foot injury.
–Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock will not hold out of any training camp practices after he agreed to terms on his rookie contract, multiple outlets reported.
A report Tuesday from 9News.com said negotiations between the sides had stalled, as Lock sought a "quarterback premium" — with additional guarantees or workout bonuses — to be paid more than fellow second-round rookie Dalton Risner, a guard taken by Denver one pick before Lock in April's draft.
Risner, picked 41st, signed his rookie deal later Tuesday, worth $7.14 million over four years with a $3.2 million signing bonus. Based on the No. 42 draft slot, Lock's deal is worth just over $7 million over four years with a $3.1 million signing bonus. Both players had portions of future salaries turned into workout bonuses, but Lock was not given a premium, per multiple reports.
–Running back Phillip Lindsay and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will practice with the Broncos when on-field work at training camp opens Thursday.
Head coach Vic Fangio said Lindsay is "ready to go" following offseason wrist surgery. General manager John Elway said Sanders will be eased into action after tearing his Achilles last season, but he will not be placed on the physically unable to perform list.
Meanwhile, the Broncos waived wide receiver Aaron Burbridge, whom ESPN reported opted to retire rather than report to training camp.
–A scheduled three-day bargaining session between the NFL and the NFL Players Association ended after one day, according to multiple reports.
The sides released a joint statement, saying, "(Wednesday's) meeting was productive, constructive and beneficial for both sides, and the meetings between the NFLPA's Executive Committee and the NFL's Management Council Executive Committee will continue."
Multiple media outlets reported the sides will reconvene on July 29. ESPN reported the scheduled sessions ended early because information emerged that needed to be discussed further with other owners, quoting a source saying, "big topics are tabled (for now). There is definitely a lot of work to be done."
–Police in North Carolina issued a felony arrest warrant for Arizona Cardinals tackle Desmond Harrison on charges of assault by strangulation and assault on a female, multiple outlets reported.
Greensboro police said a report was filed Tuesday against the 25-year-old offensive lineman, who was signed off waivers by Arizona last month after being cut by the Cleveland Browns.
The Cardinals immediately released Harrison after the allegations were reported by Bleacher Report and Yahoo! Sports.
–The NFL suspended free agent cornerback Rashard Robinson for 10 games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy with several missed drug tests.
"I would like to take this opportunity to apologize and take full responsibility," Robinson said in a statement to NFL Network. "I have no one to blame for my actions. I would like to apologize to my family and supporters."
Robinson, who turns 24 next week, was suspended four games last year for a substance-abuse violation. He was waived by the New York Jets in May after playing in 10 games (one start) in 2018. A 2016 fourth-round pick of San Francisco, he started 14 of 28 games through his first two seasons with the 49ers and Jets, breaking up 15 passes.
Reports: NFL-NFLPA meetings cut short two days
A scheduled three-day bargaining session between the NFL and the NFLPA ended after one day, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.
The sides released a joint statement on Wednesday afternoon, saying, "Today's meeting was productive, constructive and beneficial for both sides, and the meetings between the NFLPA's Executive Committee and the NFL's Management Council Executive Committee will continue."
Multiple media outlets reported the sides will reconvene on July 29, rather than continuing with scheduled meetings Thursday and Friday.
ESPN reported the sessions ended early because information emerged that needed to be discussed further with other owners, quoting a source saying, "big topics are tabled (for now). There is definitely a lot of work to be done."
The current collective bargaining agreement expires after the 2020 season, but sentiment around the league is that the NFL would like to reach agreement on an extension before the 2019 regular season begins in September.
McIlroy: Open's return to Northern Ireland 'bigger than me'
McIlroy: Open's return to Northern Ireland 'bigger than me'
Despite competing on home soil in Northern Ireland, Rory McIroy said there's no added pressure to win this week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
"I'm just treating this like any other Open Championship," he said Wednesday, per SkySports.com. "I've played well here for the last few years, and I've played well on this golf course. So I've just got to go out and hit the shots and stay in the present. If I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, hopefully by Sunday night, that will be good enough."
As the 30-year-old betting favorite prepared to try to snap his five-year major drought, he said the return of the tournament to Royal Portrush for the first time since 1951 is "bigger than me."
"This is a wonderful thing for this country and golf in general, and to be quite a big part of it is an honor and a privilege," McIlroy said. "And I want to keep reminding myself of that, that this is bigger than me, right? This is bigger than me.
"If you can look at the bigger picture and you can see that, it sort of takes a little bit of the pressure off. I still want to play well and concentrate and do all the right things, but at the same time just having that perspective might just make me relax a little bit more.
"So I think no matter what happens this week, if I win or whoever else wins, having The Open back in this country is a massive thing for golf. And I think as well it will be a massive thing for the country."
McIlroy set the course record at Royal Portrush with a 61 when he was only 16 years old.
McIlroy won his fourth and most recent major at the 2014 PGA Championship, the same year he won his only Open title at Royal Liverpool.
The world No. 3 begins his quest for the Claret Jug on Thursday, when he is paired with U.S. Open winner Gary Woodland and England's Paul Casey.
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock will not hold out of any training camp practices after he agreed to terms on his rookie contract Wednesday, Pro Football Talk reported.
Risner, picked 41st, signed his rookie deal later Tuesday, worth $7.14 million over four years with a $3.2 million signing bonus. Based on the No. 42 draft slot, Lock's deal is expected to be around $7 million over four years with a $3.1 million signing bonus.
Lock missed initial medical meetings as the team reported to camp on Wednesday, but the Missouri product agreed in time to practice when on-field work begins Thursday.
Once considered a possible top-10 pick, Lock will begin camp competing with Kevin Hogan for the backup job behind Joe Flacco.
Falcons sign LB Jones to four-year, $57M extension
The Atlanta Falcons signed linebacker Deion Jones
Jones' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told multiple media outlets the extension is worth $57 million with $34 million guaranteed. According to The MMQB, it includes an $11 million signing bonus, $13.45 million paid in 2019 and $35.5 million over the first three years. The $34 million in guarantees includes injury, with $25.8 million guaranteed in full.
Jones, 24, was set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. A second-round pick out of LSU in 2016, he had 244 tackles (14 for loss), six interceptions and 21 pass breakups in 31 games (29 starts) through two seasons, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2017.
Last season, Jones was limited to six games after sustaining a foot injury in Week 1, going on injured reserve before returning late in the season. He finished with 53 tackles (one for loss), two picks and six pass breakups.
Jones' rookie contract was worth $4.5 million over four years. He was set to make $1.1 million in 2019.
Atlanta Falcons training camp primer
New faces: G James Carpenter, G Jamon Brown, G Chris Lindstrom, DE
New faces: G James Carpenter, G Jamon Brown, G Chris Lindstrom, DE Adrian Clayborn, OT Kaleb McGary, TE Luke Stocker, S J.J. Wilcox
They're gone: RB Tevin Coleman, OT Ryan Schraeder, CB Robert Alford, K Matt Bryant, DE Bruce Irvin, CB Brian Poole, LB Brooks Reed, DT Terrell McClain, CB Justin Bethel
2019 snapshot: The Falcons went into the offseason with plans to overhaul two key areas: the coaching staff and the offensive line. They fired coordinators Steve Sarkisian (offense), Marquand Manuel (defense) and Keith Armstrong (special teams), bringing back former O-coordinator Dirk Koetter, turning the defense over to head coach Dan Quinn and hiring Ben Kotwica to run special teams. Koetter's success with QB Matt Ryan from 2012-14 is encouraging, and Quinn could whip the defense into shape, but that's a lot of turnover to manage.
Atlanta then threw major resources up front, signing Brown and Carpenter to multi-year deals and adding Lindstrom in the first round to provide three possible starting options at guard. At right tackle, the Falcons released Schraeder, extended Ty Sambrailo (three years, $14.3 million) and traded back into the first round for McGary. Altogether, the rash of moves felt too aggressive, and now the pressure is on for the unit to perform.
On defense, the pressure is on key pieces Keanu Neal, Deion Jones and Ricardo Allen to get and stay healthy, as few players were added other than Clayborn. Alford and Reed were released, and it was surprising to see Poole — an undrafted rookie who ascended to a starting role — untendered as a restricted free agent. With franchise-tagged DT Grady Jarrett still in need of a long-term deal, Quinn's defense has several questions still unanswered.
–At 8.5, the over/under win total for the Falcons is enticing. Matt Ryan is 34 but he's surrounded by great weapons. If Atlanta avoids the injury epidemic that hit last season, the Falcons are capable of getting to 10 wins.
–Ryan is 10th in MVP odds at FanDuel, and his prolific passing numbers give supporters all the reason they need to go that route. But the +2600 is not a pure value when you consider some of the potential for quarterbacks behind Ryan to climb these ranks in-season.
Bottom line: The O-line should be fixed, but the coaching changes might not solve everything. More depth on defense would have helped.

Dissolving Digital Hub illogical - Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD
27 April, 2021 - by Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD
Sinn Féin TD for Dublin South Central Aengus Ó Snodaigh has described the government's decision to dissolve the highly successful Digital Hub Development Agency as "another set back for the Liberties".
Teachta Ó Snodaigh said:
"This is a dark day for a locality which has been struggling for decades as one of the most disadvantaged communities in the State and the government at the whim of Green Party Minister Eamon Ryan has pulled the rug from under one of the few major successful initiatives in the area.
"In another land grab for the Land Development Agency, Minister Ryan has transferred the lands of the Digital Hub to them. Today's decision scuppered the long-planned transfer of the DHDA to Dublin City Council to continue its work in attracting digital media companies to the area, working with local schools and the community to enhance digital learning, knowledge and employment.
"Once more the State is abandoning the South West Inner City; an area which has been ravaged by years of neglect, drug dealing and held back due to disadvantage, low educational attainment and high unemployment.
"While I accept that there is a huge housing need in the South Inner City, this is because of the failure to invest in social and affordable housing in the area and because the Council and the State have encouraged the saturation of the area with co-living, student and hotel accommodation rather than family homes. The solution though is to build homes on derelict sites, not to make sites derelict by moving jobs out of the locality.
"The decision today means that the 70 companies currently located will be dispersed and their 230 jobs will be lost to the area, alongside a vibrant hub of creativity and learning. Over 200 companies passed through the hub in the past two decades.
"The social, economic and educational cost to the Liberties will be felt, I believe, for many years to come."

My name is Lario and this is gonna be my first contribution to Pokkén Arena in form of a post in honour of our favorite Penguin Emperor.
More specifically it's going to be about the slashing move 5X. Now to start with some data 5X is with 15 frames a pretty fast heavy attack with good pushback, 70 base damage, decent range and the ability to stun, meaning you can follow it up with literally whatever you want. It's -12, but not grab punishable because of its pushback, so only a handful of characters have a consistent punish for it.
Overall, I'd say it's Empoleon's greatest combo starter, so for a while I've been wondering how much damage you can get out of a 5X combo. To be precise, if it's possible to get over 200 damage without the need of the wall, supports or burst. For a reference, Pikachu's Electric God fist 6:y with the just frame leads into 188 damage, so 200 is quite a lot. But with Empoleon's crazy damage potential, it is definitely possible.
However, one problem arises. Because Empoleon is Empoleon, character specific combos are required to get this kinda damage, so I've gone through every character to compile all the data and put it together here.
So following will be the notations for said combos, on which characters they work and a short video demonstrating it.
I have been unable to find a combo from a 5X that does over 200 damage without the wall. So just go for the Ice beam or Debuff routes, they're still pretty damaging regardless.
If someone happens to find something for these characters, please tell me and I will update it!
And that is all, happy slashing everyone!

MP PUSHES FOR FAST-TRACK ON NEW RFS BASE IN GLEN INNES
Fired up over getting action on a new Glen Innes RFS control centre and base, Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall, right, talks tactics with Glen Innes Severn Mayor Steve Toms, left, and RFS Zone Commander Chris Wallbridge.
NORTHERN Tablelands MP Adam Marshall has met with Glen Innes Severn Mayor Steve Toms and the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Zone Commander Chris Wallbridge this week to push for a fast-track decision on a proposed new fire control centre in Glen Innes.
Mr Marshall wants to speed up a final decision on the design options and funding so a start can be made to upgrade fire fighting capability and extend the space for staff based in Glen Innes.
Mr Marshall said the current premises are woefully inadequate for any major fire fighting emergencies in the region and he wants the government and RFS headquarters to sign off on planned new upgrades to the Glen operational base.
The RFS has been operating out of the old original Severn Shire council chambers in Bourke Street but Mr Marshall says it's a small space that can't accommodate staff and volunteers efficiently and is outdated when it comes to modern fire fighting.
Mr Marshall has been lobbying the NSW Government to fund construction of a new purpose-built fire control centre for the zone.
His discussions with Mayor Toms and Superintendent Wallbridge considered the options that have already been canvassed in pre-planning for an upgraded control centre and base and the two men repeated their concerns for a decision and go-ahead sooner rather than later.
"Those talks reiterated the need and support for a push to get things moving quickly and that's the message I'm taking to the Minister for Emergency Services David Elliott and NSW RFS management," Mr Marshall said.
"Mayor Steve Toms has told me the council has budgeted for a start on a new facility and they're 100 per cent behind this project, not just for the jobs it will create but for the services they will provide and the sense of security and safety it will afford for landowners and residents in the event of bushfires.
"We know the RFS has allocated preliminary funding for a new fire control facility and that they've budgeted for a start on the project this year – but we need to get moving now.
"There's been a number of options canvassed in preliminary project planning, including new greenfield sites but both the mayor and I support a proposal that the best option is to locate that on an existing commercial development site in Lambeth Street which has potential in the future to extend its space.
"This option would involve modifying those commercial structures to house the fire control centre and support services and later on in another stage, the construction of a new Glen Innes Rural Fire Brigade station at the same site."
Cr Toms has described the Lambeth Street modification option as the best on the table and one he supports for a number of reasons.
"The bottom line is this option has strong moral and financial support. There's a need and a demand for a new control centre and operations base. The available facilities are totally inadequate and our council is hoping we can resolve this matter now," Mr Toms said.
"The council has reaffirmed its support; we also understand the implications of our responsibility for a 11.7 per cent building cost and depreciation financial line item.
"The RFS base here needs urgent upgrading and Glen Innes is central to bushfire management in this upper Northern Tablelands area; we're centrally located for a zone that extends to Inverell and Tenterfield."


Making Single Malt Whisky (1)!
Here is a first post of the iStill Team making single malt whisky. Full bodied, peated, whisky, that is what we are after. We have made single malt before, but we are now doing it on a bigger scale. And we are using the iStill 2000 NextGen to do the whole process. The whole process like in mashing, fermenting, and distilling. Let's explain how we do that.
So, we have an iStill 2000 NextGen and its 550 liter Extractor. Here's how we did the mashing. We asked Castle Malts from Belgium to deliver cracked peated barley malt. We added chocolate malt to the mix, as a small adjunct.
We put the malt in 20 liter bags. We then lifted these into the Extractor, using the forklift. Next step? We heated some 1600 liters of water in the iStill 2000 and brought it to 61C. We used a pump (that we are currently integrating into the Extractor set-up) to move the water from the boiler into the Extractor, thus extracting and converting the starches into fermentable maltose sugars.
The last step in the mashing process was that we brought the now sugar rich boiler content (around 1500 liters) to 75C for a 5 minute pasteurization.
The goal of mashing? To make around 1500 liters of whisky mash and bring it to SG 1.065. We are aiming for an 8% ferment. Mashbill: 97% peated barley malt, 3% chocolate barley malt. Mashing pH 5.2. Calcium count brought to 150 ppm (with bicarb) and pH drop to pH 4.8 after mashing (using lactic acid).
The higher calcium count makes the fermentation stand up to pH drops (resulting from sugar consumption and CO2 production) much better. And the lower pH helps protect against (most) bacterial infections as well as that it further increases esterification (AKA more taste formation).
When mashing was done, we used the boiler radiator in the iStill 2000 to bring the wash down to 28.5C. We then added 1000 grams of granulated baker's yeast by sprinkling it on top of the mash. Baker's yeast is great, because it tolerates higher temperatures (equalling higher amounts of taste formation). And it leaves a little bit of the sugars unfermented, potentially increasing taste with another 15 to 20% due to Maillardization while doing the actual distillation run.
All right. The fermentation took off in minutes. First 36 hours were quite violent. The iStill 2000 followed a 6 day fermentation scheme, with a maximum temperature of 28.5C. It stayed there for the first day and a half. The fermentation temperature dropped to 24C over the course of the next few days. I decided not to use the temperature control to keep the temperature higher. Instead, the fermentation just went at its own pace. A little slower then when it would have been at 28.5C the whole time … but longer stands for more esterification.
We measured pH twice. Remember that we started at pH 4.8? After the first day, we had pH 4.23. After three days pH 4.45. Nice values. Below pH 4.8 for extra esterification, while steering clear of potential bacterial infections.
After the fermentation was done, the iStill 2000 switched to cooling and agitating. To get rid of residual CO2. If you are making what's basically a beer, there is a potential of foam building up during distillation. Cooling and agitating help prevent that. As does a silicone based anti foaming agent: 200 ml's for this 1500 liter charge.
We have started heating-up this morning. As we speak, the iStill 2000 is ready to take Heads. Hearts, as you know, come after that. Do you want to know how that goes? I'll update you tomorrow or the day after. Gotta hang up right now. Heads are eminent and I want to be next to the machine, when that happens!

Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra / Born in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Spanish: [miˈɣel de θerˈβantes saaˈβeðɾa]; 29 September 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616) was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. His magnum opus, Don Quixote, considered to be the first modern European novel, is a classic of Western literature, and is regarded amongst the best works of fiction ever written. His influence on the Spanish language has been so great that the language is often called la lengua de
Cervantes ("the language of Cervantes"). He was dubbed El Príncipe de los Ingenios ("The Prince of Wits").
In 1569, Cervantes moved to Rome where he worked as chamber assistant of a wealthy priest. Cervantes then enlisted as a soldier in a Spanish Navy infantry regiment and continued his military life until 1575, when he was captured by Algerian corsairs. After 5 years of slavery he was released by his captors on ransom from his parents and the Trinitarians, a Catholic religious order and he subsequently returned to his family in Madrid.
In 1585, Cervantes published a pastoral novel named La Galatea. Because of financial problems, he worked as a purveyor for the Spanish Armada, and later as a tax collector. In 1597, discrepancies in his accounts of three years previous landed him in the Crown Jail of Seville. In 1605, he was in Valladolid when the immediate success of the first part of his Don Quixote, published in Madrid, signaled his return to the literary world. In 1607, he settled in Madrid, where he lived and worked until his death. During the last 9 years of his life, Cervantes solidified his reputation as a writer; he published the Novelas ejemplares (Exemplary Novels) in 1613, the Journey to Parnassus (Viaje al Parnaso) in 1614, and in 1615, the Ocho comedias y ocho entremeses and the 2nd part of Don Quixote. Carlos Fuentes noted that, "Cervantes leaves the page open where the reader knows himself read and the author written."

SHOWPIECE ABC news and current affairs programs are failing to pull strong audiences, according to ratings data released in response to senate estimates committee questioning.
The ABC has long lost touch with the mainstream public, but to them the public has lost touch with them. Why? To fix the ABC, we must first understand it.
The ABC staff don't hide that they see their mission as 'civilizing' and educating Australia, something that most of the population would not pay for and thus commercial networks will never deliver.
They are partly right in this.
And indeed I do want to see informative docos and quality programs free of ads.
Consequently, as an educator, the ABC sees its duty to not necessarily reflect public opinion, but to correct and create the right public opinion.
Their duty is not just present news, but to present it in a way to help viewers derive the correct meaning from the news.
Their duty is not to present both sides of a debates regardless of right and wrong, but to favor the correct side of the debate so as not to mislead the public that the wrong side has equal weight.
Their duty is not even to present the truth, if knowing the truth may cause harm to the population, but to present the issue in a responsible way, even if it involves bending the truth.
Their duty is also to counteract the relentless pressure of commercial interests via advertising, via influence on commercial media and by government lobbyists, with the pure public spiritedness of the ABC.
Finally, their responsibility is to educate the Australian public to elect 'responsible' caring governments, ones not beholden to capitalist greed and, of course, governments who will safeguard the ABC's critical mission.
They are not evil, they are just helping us.
The problem of course is that, they are a cabal of raving lunatic leftists.
So, as leftists and unlike conservatives, they believe that they have the ultimate truth. They believe that their audience needs to be convinced of the truth, that once all see the truth, society will be better for it and thus any opposing views are evil. I.e. they are benevolent totalitarians.
University capture by 'never grew up' leftist academics and self selection of benevolent 'service to society' types into journalism.
These ABC people can't change. You can't make them say what they believe is wrong and evil.
Maybe restructure, spill all positions halve the budget and start again.
Maybe remove all news and current affairs from the ABC and contract them to commercial stations. Then we just have to watch climate catastrophism and their eco-totalitarianism.
"What the Scots do is a matter for the Scots and not for a moment do I presume to tell Scottish voters which way they should vote," Mr Abbott said.
You should see the vitriol against Abbott on the ABC story comments – too stupid or biased to understand even the simpler concepts of Abbott's thoughtful analysis.
Firstly, unlike the leftist useful idiots, Abbott has a global perspective of liberal West vs illiberal East and Asia (like it or not, lefties, it's a simple fact). In this context, those wanting to divide the western countries into ever smaller and weaker countries are 'no friends of freedom' in weakening what remains of western liberal countries.
Secondly, there was significant bullying by the Yes campaigners – people and business were saying they were afraid to oppose it – and the poll result certainly supports this. This was not a good way to start a free country.
On this day of anti-terrorist raids by 800 police in Australia, maybe it's time to learn about what these extreme Islamic movements actually want and what they are doing.
The Muslim Brotherhood's 100 year plan for global subjugation to a Caliphate and Sharia Law.
Did you know that since 2007, Britain has 80 Islamic Sharia courts with enforceable judgments.

How Therapeutic Vaccines Work
More in STDs
More STDs
By Elizabeth Boskey, PhD
Jeffrey Hamilton/Digital Vision/Getty Images
When most people hear the word vaccine, they think of a way to prevent disease. However, therapeutic vaccines aren't used for prevention. Instead, they're used as a method of treatment. Just like a regular vaccine, therapeutic vaccines are used to stimulate the immune system to target an infection or a type of diseased cell such as a cancer cell. In other words, therapeutic vaccines help teach the body how to do a better job of protecting itself. The goal is to boost the immune system to help it control, or get rid of, an otherwise difficult to treat condition.
Much of the discussion of therapeutic vaccines revolves around targeted treatments for cancer. However, a number of researchers are also working on developing therapeutic vaccines that might be able to control viral STDs and their complications. For example, not all ongoing HIV vaccine research is looking for a way to prevent HIV infections. Some scientists are also working on developing a therapeutic vaccine to help currently infected patients maintain lower viral loads. In other words, the goal is to treat and control the infection, ideally without using as many drugs. Scientists know that some HIV positive patients are long term non-progressors whose bodies are capable of naturally keeping their HIV infections under control. Therefore, the immune system control of HIV infection is theoretically possible.
Another viral STD that has been targeted by vaccine researchers is the human papillomavirus (HPV). Three preventative vaccines are already on the market. However, millions of men and women were infected with HPV before those vaccines became available. Even with the current vaccines, still more are being infected each day. Therefore, scientists are looking for ways to help people's bodies do a better job of clearing HPV infections to prevent their progression to cervical cancer or any of the other cancers HPV can cause in both women and men. This research actually overlaps with targeted cancer therapy research. Some HPV therapeutic vaccine research is aimed at attacking the tumors caused by HPV rather than attacking the viral infection directly.
Furthermore, despite what some people think, scientists are also actively working on both therapeutic and preventative vaccines for herpes. To date, most of the research hasn't been terribly successful. However, there were some promising results from a small therapeutic vaccine trial published in 2017, which found that their trial vaccine was able to reduce both viral shedding and the number of new lesions. Hopefully, trials of this and other therapeutic herpes vaccines will continue to have positive results in the future.
Finally, hepatitis C remains an important target for vaccine development, although expectations aren't terribly high. One of the reasons why hepatitis C is so problematic is that the immune system generally does a pretty bad job of fighting it. Fortunately, the development of highly effective direct-acting antivirals is currently making the quest for a vaccine feel a little less urgent. Still, many people would be thrilled if hepatitis C were as preventable as hepatitis A and B for which safe, effective vaccines are already available.

Maya the Bee buzzes onto cinema screens
Meet Maya, a little bee with a big, curious heart.
This delightful animated family film, based on the beloved 1912 children's book, is going to keep little ones across the country wide-eyed and fully occupied this half-term.
Maya is a very busy bee. Unlike the others in her hive, she has a multitude of non-bee friends. There's Flip, the violin-playing grasshopper, Kurt the dung beetle, and even Sting, the hornet. Maya's 'fearsome' friends cause the bees in her hive to steer well clear of her, much to Maya's dismay.
Feeling like the odd one out, Maya sets out to leave her hive and go to live in a meadow instead. She's a bee on a mission: dreaming of the big wide world and ready to escape her stuffy lifelong home. She's ready to spread her wings, to be as free as a… bee?
Maya quickly learns that her fellow bees do in fact hold a very special place in her heart. After hearing that the greedy queen bee's advisor has been dipping his antennae into the precious Royal Jelly pot, Maya returns home with her friends to save the hive!
Maya and the gang are determined to save the day, make peace between the bees and the wasps, and prove that friendship is definitely thicker than honey.
Directed by Alex Stadermann and featuring the voices of Coco Jack Gillies (Mad Max: Fury Road), Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Jacki Weaver, (Silver Linings Playbook, Animal Kingdom), Miriam Margolyes (who plays the kindly queen) and Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge, Van Helsing, Mission Impossible).

Opposition leaders say…Document "The Heist of Guyana"
Members of the Joint Opposition are urging the public to carefully file the series of articles that are being published in Kaieteur News called, "The Heist of Guyana."
The full-page column details in a sequential format how Guyana has been "parceled out and handed out to friends and cronies of former President Bharat Jagdeo."
Carl Greenidge
The series unveils the "rampant corruption, preferential treatment and cronyism that characterized the second term of the Jagdeo administration."
It also explained that it will reveal how almost every major developmental decision was tied to the personal and selfish interests of Jagdeo and his friends and what we have today, is an economy that is controlled by a small group of influential persons with strong ties to the then Jagdeo administration.
Members of the Joint Opposition have supported the cause and they are strongly suggesting that members of the public "keep these reports of unbelievably poignant and accurate accounts of the truth which bring to light – The Jagdeo deception."
Former Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Volda Lawrence, has said, "I believe that the team involved in this process at Kaieteur News is doing an exceptional job. The Publisher Glenn Lall is brave in stepping up to the plate to do this and it is an extremely commendable act and I look forward to it. However, we must not lose sight of what these articles mean. These articles on the heist of Guyana are not only informative, but expose in no uncertain terms, how the Jagdeo regime is trying to control the economy and it is important for the people of Guyana not to be fooled by the structures being built all over. It is all a deception. It is upon this background, I am urging members of the public to keep these copies for reference so that they can be armed with the truth."
Carl Greenidge, the Shadow Minister of Finance for the coalition, A Partnership for National Unity, also believes that it is critical that citizens pay attention to the "Heist of Guyana" series.
The Member of Parliament said, "It is natural for there to be comments on performance of any Government for they collect our monies and how they spend it, can adversely affect our lives."
"Guyana faces some serious problems of morality and state lawlessness and this makes it imperative that civil society and political parties address the problems which give rise to such behaviour."
"The press has a key role in this regard and as responsible citizens we have to recognize and protect them in this pursuit."
Greenidge asserted that there has been a massive upsurge of corruption under the People's Progressive Party (PPP).
He noted too, that the regime and its reaction to that development, "is special" because almost uniquely in this region, the Government instead of making an effort to bring it down; "works hand in hand with those very criminals once they are prepared to fund the PPP because it sees white and blue collar crime as acceptable just as it sees a Minister having a right to have his wife audit the books of the entities overseen by the Minister."
"Instead of fighting corruption, the Government viciously attacks those who dare to highlight the problem. One of the main features in Guyana which has allowed these phenomena to gain such a foothold is a weak civil society and a consequential inability to force Governments to live by an acceptable standard. Part of that weakness has been reflected in the fact that outcries and complaints about outrageous behavior are raised and quickly forgotten and patterns of behaviours are not traced or brought to the public's attention in any systematic manner."
"However, the attempt by Kaieteur News to publish its perception of what is happening under the rubric of "Heist" is most welcomed for its continuity and persistence even in the face of unacceptable Government and PPP retaliation and defamation, and for its investigative work. I would encourage them to continue which is necessary in defense of our fundamental rights."

Not to toot my own horn, but I recall being the first to advocate for the two independent dailies, but especially Kaieteur News to catalogue the myriad reportages of corruption – including the explosive revelations in the annual Audit Office reports – in the Jagdeo government after it seemed like as though the reportages were being blithely ignored by the government.
The objective was to build a case to help inform public opinion, even if the police, DPP and court system were all unwilling or unable to bring the crooks to book. It did take a few years, but I want to recommend that it be placed in the same line of section headings under the mast head so readers can click on it "Heist of Guyana" and choose what stories they want to read.
Thanks, KN! Good work, Glenn and Adam!

More and more ,as the dots are being linked ,it is becoming quite obvious that Bobby and Jaggy are 'ONE"……….I believe That I can now proffer where the missing $8 million US will be sourced from to complete the Marriot………it is a pity that the opposition has been able to put a few spokes in the wheels and thus so far delayed the consummation of that criminal enterprise!

Raiders Blow the Aggies Out of Water

By Mary Schwanke
North Shelby traveled over two hours to play the Norborne-Hardin Central Aggies on Friday, September 10. The Raiders demolished their opponents, finishing the game early at halftime, 64-0.
North Shelby's defense started the game strong, forcing the Aggies to turnover on downs. Soon after, Justin Lunsford ran for a 30-yard touchdown, only two minutes into the game.
Cale Stoneburner kicked a touchback, starting the Aggies' brief possession at the 20-yard line. NS defense prevailed once more, forcing a punt to the 16-yard line. At 8:19, Stoneburner chucked a deep pass to Kyle Smith who ran the ball five yards from the end zone. Lunsford sealed the deal with a touchdown. Carson Orr ran for two more points, bringing the score to 16-0.
Hardin struggled to push the ball down the field. Smith made key tackles before being taken out of the game with an ankle injury. The Aggies managed some ball movement, but were then taken down by Noah Greenwell and Luke Schwanke in the backfield.
The Raider's next play once again ended in a touchdown. Orr received a deep pass from Stoneburner and took the ball to the end zone. The conversion by Landon Bender was good, bringing the Raiders advantage to 24-0.
After a punt by the Aggies, Stoneburner threw another deep pass to Bender, who ran 30 yards for another touchdown. Stoneburner kept the ball for the conversion. This marked the end of the first quarter, the score at 32-0.
Two minutes into the second quarter, the scoreboard said 40-0 after Orr scored a touchdown.
The Aggies were forced to punt. At this point, North Shelby set out to accomplish a dream everyone has been longing to see come true. North Shelby fed Andrew Wiley the ball, hoping to get him into the end zone. Wiley got a first down, but Lunsford was the one who managed to score at the end of the possession. NS led 48-0.
Wiley did the honors of completing the conversion. A couple minutes later, Wiley got his touchdown, settling the score at 56-0.
"It's something I've always wanted, since I was a freshman. I've never really played that much, so finally getting a touchdown as a senior is pretty special to me," said Wiley afterwards.
"He worked so hard this summer. He smiles all the time, never complains. To be able to get him some points is awesome. That's what coaching is for. He's got a memory for the rest of his life," said NS coach David Stuckey.
Coach also plans to help other members of the team get into the end zone. "We still have to get Brenden Miles a touchdown. We've got a couple more opportunities. We try to get the ball spread to everybody."
On defense, Riley Greening attacked the Aggie's offense until the last down.
Immediately after the ball was turned over, Lunsford made his fourth touchdown and the Raiders final touchdown.
"We came out tonight wanting to be focused and work on executing and maintaining our blocks. The officials said we did a good job getting proper positioning. We had a couple hustle penalties, but I don't mind hustle penalties when our guys are trying to make extra blocks for their teammates. I feel like we accomplished quite a bit this game. We were able to execute our offense to full efficiency."
The Raiders will travel to Schuyler County on Friday.
