The Vikings announced the punishment Friday as part of a summary of findings by outside lawyers hired in January to investigate Kluwe’s accusations, which included a claim he was released because of his gay-rights advocacy. The Vikings said Priefer’s ban could be reduced to two games at their discretion, provided he attends individualized anti-harassment, diversity and sexual-orientation sensitivity training. Such education has been required for all Vikings employees, coaches and players on an annual basis for the past several years, the team said, and the improvements for the programs will be considered....

Double legend Chris Martin is with no doubt a legend. However a legend for two reasons. First for his astounding bowling calibre, which gained him quite a few laurels during his tenure as a world class bowler. He wouldn’t produce the pace of Dale Steyn or Mitchell Johnson, rather he concentrated on accuracy and seam movement which was enough to trouble the minds of batsmen. He was also a legend alternatively for his hopeless, hapless style of batting....

Smalling believes that this season has been unpredictable and the competition among teams has picked up more intensity than previous years. Talking to MUTV ahead of their important clash against Swansea, he said, “It is a crazy league this season and, when you slip up as a team, you look at the scores and see two or three other teams who you’d expect to win slipping up as well....

Last summer, Aston Villa bought Christian Benteke for £7m from Genk, a move that even Belgian football pundits thought fraught with risk. Now, they have one of the most desirable players in the Premier League, who is being linked with Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool. They have been attracted by his prototypical physique, speed, power, goals, heading ability and the fact that he improved so quickly last season. So, if Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool are the domestic suitors, where would be best for him to go to?...

Knowing this, the atomweight queen has been hard at work in the gym alongside her brother and fellow ONE world champion, Christian Lee. Speaking to ONE Championship, Angela Lee’s younger brother shared some details on his sister’s training ahead of the U.S. primetime main event: In August, Christian Lee recaptured the ONE lightweight world championship in a rematch with former champion Ok Rae Yoon. Determined to rewrite the history books after a controversial decision loss last year against the South Korean, ‘The Warrior’ delivered one of the best performances of his career, dominating Ok until scoring a knockout just one minute into the second round....

While that 1984 film had all the trappings of a massive hit with Richard Gere as its star and Francis Ford Coppola as its director, the production was overshadowed by the suspicious disappearance of one of the film’s principal investors—with all roads of the subsequent murder investigation seeming to lead back to Evans. “I had no idea how many layers this story had,” Slater said, “it’s a ticking time bomb of a tale....

The Jennifer’s Body actor and her musician fiancé first ruffled feathers on Friday while emulating another former Hollywood “it” couple: Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. But some Christians cried “blasphemy” after Fox and Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, dressed up as a naughty parishioner and a Catholic priest, respectively. Fox posted photos of the pair’s religion-inspired get-up to her Instagram page on Sunday. “On Sundays we take communion,” she wrote, along with prayer and rosary bead emojis....

As the only app to ever really compete with Angry Birds, Cut the Rope uses simple and addictive game play wrapped up in a colorful cartoon milieu. The premise is simple, a strange and mysterious package has arrived, and the cute little resident of that package only wants one thing - candy! Players have to use all their cunning and wits to navigate the candy through all the twists and turns the physics engine can throw at them to get the candy in that little guy’s mouth....

Michael Thomas (ankle) is out for the rest of the regular season, and Tre’Quan Smith is dealing with an ankle injury that forced him out of last week’s game. Because of the injuries that the Saints are dealing with at WR, Drew Brees could wind up targeting a variety of random pass-catchers. Instead of trying to guess who those players might be, we’re going to grab Brees and his top-two weapons while countering with a couple of Vikings passing weapons to craft a well-balanced lineup with upside....

On Christmas Day, Christians celebrate Jesus entering this world. It’s incredible when you think about it. Jesus didn’t become incarnate as a man or child; he came to earth as an unexpected pregnancy and a vulnerable, pre-born life! In many ways, Mary and Joseph were an ordinary couple. They were pious Jews who followed the law. They were engaged to be married and were prepared to walk the way of custom and normalcy....

For the second weekend in a row, the Chargers are on “Sunday Night Football” facing a team clad in red. This time, instead of the 49ers, it will be the division-rival Chiefs, who they faced on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 2 of the season. There’s a reason these teams are often in prime time. They have delivered frequent classics in showdowns between Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes. And with the Chargers now a spot back of the last playoff spot and their AFC West hopes seemingly contingent on a win at home against Kansas City, this should be a matchup of two determined teams....

However, Chiellini was facing the risk of being dropped from the Italian national team as Italy manager Cesare Prandelli has always followed a strict code of ethics regarding the selection of players who have been suspended while playing for their respective clubs. “I was just trying to block him,” Chiellini was quoted on Football Italia. “It was a manly game with some determined challenges from both sides. I apologised to Pjanic for the contact, but there are no problems between us....

Deandre Austin, who was jailed for rape, sodomy, the continued abuse of a child under 14 and a host of other sex offences, was found unresponsive on Wednesday evening at Mule Creek State Prison (MCSP) in Ione, southeast of Sacramento. It is understood there was an alert sounded for “man down” and although medics scrambled to Austin’s cell, he was pronounced dead an hour later. Now officials at the prison have announced they are investigating the 46-year-old’s death as a homicide....

Children of Morta is an action-adventure RPG where players assume the role of members of the Bergson family. With a total of 7 playable characters in Children of Morta, characters are unlocked as the story progresses. The family is a line of warriors meant to protect the world from monsters and corruption by clearing dungeons in a series of procedurally generated maps in the cavern of Mount Morta.

She had fallen from the summit above as the ice melted and loosened her 500-year-old grave. Sharing her icy coffin were shards of ceramic and fragments of food, bits of wood and pieces of bone. It was clearly part of a ritual offering. The girl, probably 12 to 14 at her death, was “killed by Inca priests to appease the gods, especially the god of the mountain,” says Reinhard, who announced the find last week....

It is used to treat indoor or perennial allergic rhinitis and outdoor or seasonal allergic rhinitis in children ages 2 and older, and chronic urticaria (hives) in children ages 6 and older. Allergic rhinitis is the same thing as hay fever, or what many parents simply call “allergies” when their child is sneezing, has a runny nose, red, itchy eyes, and an itchy throat. Types of Zyrtec Zyrtec’s product line includes tablets, liquid gels, and quick-dissolve tabs, as well as products formulated specifically for children:...

Chillblast’s Nano PCs have for a long time offered a good balance of size and performance, by making use of small form factor Mini ITX components: The system case, motherboard and graphics card are all considerably smaller in size than in a desktop PC, making them easier to transport to LAN parties, or to tuck away next your living room TV. What you gain in compactness, you often lose in terms of reduced internal expansion room, fewer motherboard slots, and crucially for a gaming system, a limit on the size of the graphics card you can fit in the case....

At first glance, the Chillblast Photo OC isn’t much to look at. It’s housed within an unassuming dark-grey chassis that boasts absolutely no outstanding features. The unit measures a full 31.4mm thick, and weighs 2.4kg, so it’s certainly no ultraportable. However, that’s about average for a 15-inch laptop with a built-in optical drive such as this, and the Photo OC is just about light enough to carry around in a backpack or briefcase when necessary....

Teams in the country’s top leagues would be limited to fielding a maximum of three foreign players per game for the 2017 season, down from the current five, China’s Football Association said in a statement on Monday. Shanghai SIPG coach Andre Villas-Boas has questioned the timing of the move with the Chinese Super League kicking off on March 7. “This decision should have been made after the season, or with a certain buffer,” the Portuguese coach told reporters during his team’s training camp in Qatar....

Along with calling Xi a “dictator,” Kanter also caused problems between the NBA and Tencent when he wore shoes decorated with the words “Free Tibet” during the Celtics game Wednesday night. “More than 150 Tibetan people have burned themselves alive!! — hoping that such an act would raise more awareness about Tibet. I stand with my Tibetan brothers and sisters, and I support their calls for Freedom,” Kanter wrote on Twitter....
