REUTERS - Arnold Palmer, one of golf’s greatest players whose immense popularity drew a legion of fans known as “Arnie’s Army” and helped propel the game just as television was coming of age, died on Sunday at age 87, the U.S. Golf Association and golf media reported. “We are deeply saddened by the death of Arnold Palmer, golf’s greatest ambassador, at age 87,” the USGA said on Twitter.

The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.) reported on Tuesday that Few was stopped by police in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, around 9 p.m. MT. According to police reports obtained by the Spokesman-Review, officers responded after “he was called in as driving erratic and speeding.” Few reportedly refused to complete a field sobriety test, but provided breathalyzer samples of .119 and .12, well above the legal limit of .08.

Less than two years later, Sunderland has endured its second straight relegation, dooming the Black Cats to League One next season after finishing dead last in the League Championship.

Though Gooch’s efforts couldn’t help halt Sunderland’s slide further away from the Premier League, his play did help bring him back into the U....

“Every night she would fall asleep with the prayer that, while she slept, her body would stretch itself, grow to the size of that of other girls her age in Burgdorf,” writes Hegi in Stones from the River (507 pages. Poseidon. $23). “To help God along, Trudi would hang from door frames by her fingers until they were numb, convinced she could feel her bones lengthening.” From her vantage point deep inside Trudi’s consciousness, Hegi describes a little girl growing up with a terrible, painful difference; she describes the to-and-fro of a small German town where neighbors flock to every house of mourning with soups and cakes; and she describes the local disintegration of civility and soul as Hitler ascends....

The second-year coach and first-year general manager had to be thinking, Can’t you lay low and just play ball for awhile, AB? That would have been my hope after parting with a couple draft picks and paying Brown an additional $11.2 million to accept the trade. Meanwhile, the Steelers have to be reminding themselves that a leopard can’t change its spots, and Pittsburgh is better off without the receiver....

The Seahawks will never get over such a heartbreaking loss, a 28-24 thriller against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX. But they can at least find peace of mind in the fact that the players who let a second title slip through their fingers; who were just one yard away from the Lombardi Trophy, will return in 2015 and have a great chance to reach Super Bowl 50.

That’s not to say that Harvick and company were thrilled with the setback. MORE: 16 for ‘16: Chase drivers | Dover daunting for Chasers On Lap 33 on Sunday, Harvick’s Chevrolet was smoking on the track at Dover International Speedway. He headed to the garage shortly thereafter. Still, after a dismal opening race at Chicagoland, Harvick was in the lower quadrant of the Chase entering last weekend’s race. He rallied with the win at New Hampshire last Sunday — something that made his run at Dover have no impact on his ability to advance to the Chase’s next round....

Sometimes they’re as simple as a unique version of the Google logo, while others can require hunting around in order to trigger the Easter egg.

We love the standard Google Home, but the Mini offers the same functionality at a fraction of the price. It offers a fraction of the audio quality, too, but that doesn’t make us love it any less.

Apple and Google both have strict and well-developed requirements for app developers in terms of privacy protection. And yet, incidents involving personal data leaks are becoming more common. In fact, it’s safe to say that effective control over privacy is impossible to achieve nowadays when we leave it up to corporations. Not only do they continue to ignore such incidents, but they prevent third-party developers from giving users control over their privacy....

The $129 Nest is a hockey-puck shaped device that aims to save users money by knowing when to raise the temperature inside homes. It uses Google’s Home software and a radar system-on-a-chip to detect if people are physically present, but the extra data scooped up by the thermostat could be a problem, some experts say. “At a minimum, consumers are giving up another layer of personal behavior data that can be cross-pollinated with other data,” Frederick Lane, a cybersecurity consultant, said in an email interview....

Google Stadia originally launched back in November 2019, granting those who forked out for the Founder’s Edition pre-order kits or those who subsequently subscribed to the platform’s Pro subscription model access the company’s powerful cloud-based console across a myriad of devices. Initially, alongside being able to stream Stadia through the Chrome browser on a PC/Mac/Chromebook or a Chromecast Ultra connected to a TV, those in possession of a Google Pixel 2, 3, 3a or 4-Series smartphone could also move their gaming sessions to the small screen if desired....

In the months following the election, former President Donald Trump and his allies alleged that he only lost to Joe Biden due to widespread voter fraud, though no evidence has been presented to back up the claims. They specifically claimed fraud occurred in key swing states including Wisconsin. Trump ultimately narrowly lost the battleground state by less than one point in 2020, even after winning the state in 2016. Joe Biden won 20,682 more votes than Trump....

“The reality is right now there’s, you know, less than 50,000 votes to count, and the president would have to get about 65 percent of them to win Arizona,” Brnovich said during a Wednesday interview with Fox Business anchor Neil Cavuto. “So it does appear that Joe Biden will win Arizona.” After Election Day, Republican Arizona voters claimed poll workers had instructed them to use Sharpies, black felt-tipped permanent markers, to fill in their ballots, and alleged that the markers had bled through the ballot paper making their ballots unreadable by voting machines....
