REUTERS - Former college standout Patrick Rodgers, seeking his first PGA Tour title, produced bogey-free golf in dazzling sunshine to charge into a two-way tie for the lead after the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open outside San Diego on Saturday.

The Arctic’s vast hydrocarbon and mineral reserves have made the region a significant focal point for military activity along its neighboring countries. The U.S., Russia, and other nearby nations have sought to increase their presence in the area, and the latest war in Ukraine could intensify competition for the region’s natural resources. However, a new report from the inspector general of the Department of Defense (DOD) found that the U....

Some critics of the closures have been pushing for in-person classes to resume, particularly Republicans who have taken aim at President Joe Biden’s approach to reopening schools. However, a new poll has found that a majority of parents whose children took part in remote and virtual learning believe it has been beneficial for their education and their mental health. A YouGov survey for personal finance company Bankrate.com, published on Monday, shows that many parents thought remote learning had benefited their children....

Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360, 4/5/2011) Personally, I’d have gone with Halo: Reach. That game already looked good, but the space battles totally put it over the top. Regardless, Gears deserves a spot on the list. The on-stage demo looked fantastic, there is no question that the game will be huge, and there is every reason to believe that it will be good, too. A solid number ten....

The U.S. Navy is banking on the latter. The same branch of the armed services best known recently for 24 spy plane crew members sitting around a no-star Chinese hotel for 11 days has unveiled a new ad campaign that presents the Navy as an exhilarating career opportunity for people whose current lives are, how shall we put it?, lame-o. The new ads feature the typical scenes of buff guys and gals diving into churning surf, landing on hostile beaches, motoring in some expensive machinery (all to the pulsing beat of the heavy-metal band Godsmack)....

The first American McGee’s Alice video game was released back in 2000 and Alice: Madness Returns arrived in 2011. Since that second game launched, there has been plenty of talk about making the series a full-fledged trilogy. While it doesn’t appear as though a third Alice game is currently in the works, EA apparently has enough faith in the franchise that it’s willing to spin it off with the help of a famed screenwriter....

That’s a fine return for a striker, but Hyndman is a midfielder. “Joining a massive club (with) high expectations, you have to go out every week and perform - there are no exceptions,” Hyndman told Rangers’ official website after the match. “I’m enjoying that challenge and I just hope to carry it on....

A recent Fox News poll found that a record high 51 percent of voters want Trump to be impeached and removed from office—a 9 percent increase from a similar survey conducted in July (two months before the House of Representatives launched an official impeachment inquiry against the president). “Whoever their Pollster is, they suck,” Trump fired back at the conservative cable news network on Twitter. The Fox poll also showed a noticeable bump in support for impeaching Trump since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on September 24 that Congress would begin their inquiry amid reports that the president had pressured a foreign leader to investigate political rival former Vice President Joe Biden....

This makes the movie the lowest-grossing feature of Allen’s six-decade Hollywood career.

The COVID-19 Limited Immunity Act, according to National Public Radio, would allow Idaho schools, businesses and individuals to be subject to litigation if they don’t follow laws and ordinances issued by public health districts meant to prevent the spread of coronavirus, such as mask mandates. Some critics of the bill say it would provide some cover to groups and businesses that disregard policies meant to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks. Others, like Bundy, say the bill is “government overreach” that would force citizens to comply with health mandates that violate their personal freedoms....

Using some Ring devices, you can continue to receive motion alerts from your security cams, and customer support can still troubleshoot problems even if your devices lose their connection.

title: “Amazon Unveils New Free Flowing Conversation Mode For Alexa” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-31” author: “John Carter” This tech requires a camera to work, however, since Alexa needs to know when it is being addressed.
