According to the Houston Chronicle, which cites multiple unidentified sources, Foster is expected to be released before next month’s free agency period. MORE: Our 2015 All-Pro team | Picking playoff games against the spread The move would not be surprising since Foster is coming off a torn Achilles tendon in October and scheduled to be paid just under $9 million against the salary cap. Foster, 29, is entering the final year of his contract which calls for a non-guaranteed base salary of $6....

Over the weekend, more than 30 people were killed during shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. In the wake of the tragedy, Trump expressed his condolences to the victims and their families and offered his help. For the Ohio and Texas College Democrats, that help would include not visiting, which the president did on Wednesday. “We need a leader who cares about each and every part of this country, but wherever Trump goes he divides and stokes hate,” Matthew Nowling, vice president of the College Democrats of Ohio, told Newsweek....

TAU Systems, based in Austin, has developed a prototype miniature plasma accelerator that could allow particle accelerator technology to be accessible for any institution who needs it. According to TAU, this would allow the creation of custom medicines, break down microplastics and even eliminate nuclear waste. “It has the potential to basically revolutionize the way we do, for example, biomolecular chemistry stuff,” Bjorn Manuel Hegelich, the founder and CEO of TAU, told Newsweek....

The latest teaser image shows a drastically different aesthetic than other Telltale games, straying from the usual cell-shaded art style to a much more intricate and detailed oil paint aesthetic. The image features the Iron Throne draped in the throne room’s dramatic lighting, a scene which show-watchers will have become accustom to seeing. Interestingly, it hasn’t been revealed if the game will even take place in King’s Landing at any point - most signs indicate a strong focus on The North, though the game may take players across several areas as they jump between 5 playable characters, a feature which was only revealed last week....

Telltale’s recent success has drawn attention from other companies as well, and the studio recently struck a multi-year, multi-title partnership with TV network HBO, and hugely popular historical fantasy series Game of Thrones is set to get the Telltale treatment first. Also announced this month was a Borderlands spinoff title called Tales from the Borderlands, which is being produced in collaboration with Gearbox Software. Either one of these announcements would be enough on its own to trigger a severe attack of excitement, and both of them together contribute as much to the holiday spirit as any number of twinkling lights or Christmas trees....

BY ZULHILMI ZAINAL Follow on Twitter In a media appearance held ahead of his impending takeover of the Selangor FA (FAS) presidency, the Raja Muda (Crown Prince) of the state of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah Ibni Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has outlined his initial objectives for the association.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - There are three men’s U.S. Open champions still in the hunt for this year’s grand slam crown - Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Juan Martin Del Potro - but only one has worked his way into the fourth round without dropping a set. Five-times champion Federer or world number one Nadal would certainly be the first two tipped by most fans for easy passage through the first week but it is Del Potro who has reached the round of 16 most easily....

If Terence Crawford can defeat Shawn Porter to move to 38-0, he could set himself up for even bigger battles down the road. Even Crawford himself has acknowledged that he has more blockbuster bouts on his mind, including a potential clash with Errol Spence Jr. “I’ve been calling for these fights,” Crawford told Timothy Bradley Jr. “Me and Shawn, we talked about fighting. I’ve told him, ‘I’m not looking to fight you....

RELATED: Best Terraria 1.4 Seeds Up close and personal melee weapons are the most effective way to deal big damage and lessen the effects of aim and range. Players don’t have to worry about ammunition or mana, leaving players to dull out as much punishment as they can handle. Flairon is an especially effective weapon because of its combined projectiles and melee traits, taking the two best aspects of combat and making it even easier to take out even the most stubborn enemies....

However, Owens “crossed a line,” according to Smith, when he said, “Max [Kellerman] almost seems blacker than you, Stephen A.” Smith has been involved in a nearly a week-long debate about Kaepernick’s workout, both on social media and on the ESPN show. His first comments on the situation came Saturday, after Kaepernick had changed locations for his workout in front of NFL teams. Smith posted a video with the social copy, “He doesn’t want to play....

To be sure, terrorism has exacted some steep costs. Airlines and tourism suffered after September 11; that could happen again. Spending for the war in Iraq was vastly underestimated. But the damage has paled before the larger effect, which is not much. Terrorism hasn’t destroyed prosperity or cross-border flows of goods, money and people. Since 2001, the world economy has expanded more than 20 percent. For the United States, the gain is almost 15 percent; for developing countries, more than 30 percent....

In a private ceremony attended by top U.S. counterterrorism officials last Friday, Clarence Prevost, a former flight instructor at the Pan American International Flight Academy in Minnesota, was given a $5 million check for his help in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui–the convicted Al Qaeda operative who was arrested just three weeks before the September 11 attacks. Moussaoui aroused suspicion at the flight school when he signed up to learn to fly 747 jumbo jets, even though he’d had no previous flight experience....

The extraordinary access that top Bush administration officials gave Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward more than two years ago for his book, “Bush at War,” became a principal issue in the contentious battle between the September 11 panel and the White House over access to the President’s Daily Briefs or PDBs-the intelligence briefing report that is given to the president every morning. Threatened with a subpoena for the documents, the White House relented somewhat last week and agreed to allow the full 10-member commission to hear a summary of key PDBs about the Al Qaeda terrorist threat that were given to Bush and before him, to President Clinton....

Analysis shows how a camera used in 2016’s Model X and Model S cars—the MobilEye EyeQ3—could be duped by a single modified number. Researchers confused a cruise control feature using a two-inch piece of black electrical tape, MIT Technology Review reported. The analysis of the suspected vulnerability, which spanned 18 months, was run by McAfee researchers Shivangee Trivedi and Steve Povolny. A video uploaded to YouTube showed how tape could influence Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC), which used street signs to help set the car’s speed....

Get Social With Tesla Tesla is shutting down its forums on March 15, and in its place, the company has launched a new social platform called the Tesla Engagement Platform. The microsite is aimed at owners and fans of the Tesla brand, and already has a small handful of posts up. The platform’s introduction reads as follows: On the Tesla Engagement Platform, you can comment on posts, and (just like Facebook) “like” what others write....

Tesla was forced to pay back €112,000 ($114,746.80) for a Model X SUV, covering most of the purchase price of the vehicle. In June, the Munich I District Court made the decision after a technical report came to the conclusion that the driver’s assistance system did not adequately or reliably recognize obstacles, according to a report by German publication Der Spiegel. The technical report has not yet been made public....
