But nowhere is as bad as New York City, where millions jostle for prime real estate, with decent apartments snapped up before they’ve even gone on the market. Bidding wars and open houses aren’t uncommon, and desperate renters often make offers on apartments they’ve never seen in person, going off photos and video tours instead. While it might be tempting to secure a unit, one resident, who calls himself a “NYC rental pro,” has revealed why you should always check somewhere out in person....

In the meantime, he’ll be honored Tennessee in the form of helmet stickers. The Volunteers are sporting the Chiefs logo with “29 strong VFL” which means “Vol for life.” They will wear them against Vanderbilt.

Roger Federer is hoping to kick-start his season on the Halle grass this week as he goes in search of a morale-boosting first tournament success this season. The 31-year-old top seed has not won a single trophy this season but is still the all-time most successful player in the Halle ATP tournament’s 20-year history. Federer won it for the first of five times in 2003, the same year he landed his first Wimbledon title....

The panel will review the sport’s anti-corruption program and make recommendations for change, tennis’ governing bodies — the ATP, WTA, ITF and Grand Slam Board — said in a statement. It is expected the review will assess the Tennis Integrity Unit to establish ways to make the internal process transparent, the potential for additional resources, structural and governance changes and its educational programs.

Clarke was leaving a workout when the crash occurred about 5:10 p.m. ET (2:10 p.m. PT), a sergeant in the LAPD’s Valley Traffic Division told Lexington, Ky., television station WKYT. According to the sergeant, Clarke was traveling at a high rate of speed on Winnetka Avenue when he drove through a red light and crashed his vehicle into a car that was turning left. Clarke’s car then struck a pole and a block wall....

The skier, who was identified only by the surname Wang, slipped from the crowded chairlift on Monday and was taken to hospital with no critical injuries, an official said. Footage circulating on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like microblogging website, shows Wang hanging below the stopped ski lift while one of the four other passengers holds onto his red jacket. The video taken at Wanlong ski resort in Zhangjiakou’s Chongli district, which is in Hebei province roughly 120 miles northwest of Beijing, then shows staff members climbing up the chairlift in an attempt to reach the stranded visitor....

Tornadoes were reported in multiple Texas cities including Elgin, Round Rock and Luling. As of Tuesday morning, tornado watches and other weather alerts remained in place for several areas in Texas including state capital Austin. A full list of alerts, updated frequently, can be found on the National Weather Service’s (NWS) website here. Scenes of people fleeing from the chaos at a Walmart parking lot were filmed by James Watson, seen below....

Cal-ISO faces a threat that could reach any company: cyberterrorism. Using computers half a world away to attack a country’s infrastructure was for years largely a theoretical discussion among security experts. No more. Evidence of electronic warfare has been insignificant to date. Recent Web-site attacks were the work of individuals. The same goes for Internet viruses. “The most clear-cut example of cyberterrorism we’ve seen recently is the little war going back and forth between U....

The order by a judge on the top-secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court has never been publicly acknowledged by administration officials—and the details of it (including the identity of the judge who wrote it) remain highly classified. But the judge, in an order several months ago, apparently concluded that the administration had overstepped its legal authorities in conducting warrantless eavesdropping even under the scaled-back surveillance program that the White House first agreed to permit the FISA court to review earlier this year, said one lawyer who has been briefed on the order but who asked not to be publicly identified because of its sensitivity....

America has flatlined in the 18th spot for the past decade, with scores across a number of areas dipping slightly following the 2008 Financial Crisis. Its reading rose slightly in 2019, only to dip back down again in 2020. It is behind the likes of Denmark (first), Norway, (second), Switzerland (third), the United Kingdom (13th) and Canada (14th). At the bottom of the ranking lies South Sudan (167th), Central African Republic (166th), Yemen, Chad and Somalia (165th, 164th, 163rd respectively)....

Terry’s 22-year association with Chelsea is set to come to an end, with Sunday’s home match with Sunderland marking his last at the London club’s home ground. Manager Antonio Conte said Chelsea were planning a surprise for the skipper, who wears the number 26 shirt, and that came to fruition as he was withdrawn midway through the first half after Sunderland’s Jordan Pickford had intentionally kicked the ball out of play, the crowd rising to their feet to hail a player who has won five Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups and the Champions League in his career with them....

The win-loss ratio for an away team (among top seven teams excluding West Indies, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe) has been on a decline, a gradual decline it has been since the advent of the century. The beginning of the 21st century (2000 to 2004) saw an away win-loss ratio of 0.78 by the top 8 teams. This was a significant increase from past decade, where the ratio remained 0.55 (among top eight teams, including West Indies)....

There were quite a few openers who were considered future prospects but failed to live up to expectations. None of those could cure the persistent headache of the captain or selectors. It was commendable that India managed to perform well in Tests without a settled opening combination. It was difficult to fathom how these players despite their talent could not cement their places. These are several batsmen who opened the batting for India after Ganguly took over the captaincy....

Netherlands international Tete featured in both legs as Ajax overcame Lyon in the semi-finals of the Europa League last term, although he was restricted to five starts in the Eredivisie as Joel Veltman made the right-back position his own. But the 21-year-old ended the campaign back in the Netherlands national setup and is keen to make up for lost time with Lyon. “My last season at Ajax was not very positive, it was hard for me,” Tete, who joined for a reported €3million fee, told a news conference....

Following the release of the Ver 2.1.0 update for Tetris 99, players will now get the chance to enjoy a brand new online mode called Team Battle Mode. This new mode still features ninety nine players, but it splits the players up into four teams. These teams will go to head to head with each other and the last team with at least one surviving player wins the round....

Three plays in particular upset O’Brien, including a pair of questionable spots midway through the fourth quarter. On a third-and-2 at the Raiders 16-yard line, Texans running back Lamar Miller ran up the middle and appeared to pick up the necessary yardage for a first down. But he was ruled inches shy of a first down following a measurement. O’Brien chose not to challenge the spot and did not opt for a 32-yard field goal try, but went for it on fourth down with a handoff to Akeem Hunt, who appeared to dive forward for a first down....

“What I find most absurd is Mexicans across the border from me can’t come across the bridge, friends and family are not allowed to come over or do business,” he told Newsweek of the usually thriving cross-border commerce that has been stunted by pandemic restrictions. He also spoke up for a group that has received far less attention, as the number of Central Americans seeking asylum at the border has steadily risen in the early weeks of the Biden presidency: undocumented immigrants who have lived in the U....

Apparently those talks are not happening. MORE: Top wide receivers | Texans need to do right thing with Hopkins General manager Rick Smith told Inside Training Camp Live Saturday that, “There is not a negotiation happening at this point. He’s under contract for two more years.” NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported when Hopkins ended his walkout that the team had agreed to talk about a new contract if Hopkins reported to camp....
