It is an indicator that the progress made over the last 3 years, on and off the park, is paying dividends. It is also a very tangible endorsement of Neil Lennon and his players.*19, 000...

The majority of people with visual disabilities watch four or more hours of television per day, which is almost as much as the general public, a new survey by Comcast and the American Foundation for the Blind found. That’s compared to a Nielsen study from 2016 that found the average person watched about five hours of television per day. “It’s a myth to think that you can’t enjoy television just because you have a visual disability,” said Tom Wlodkowski, Vice President of Accessibility for Comcast, who was born blind.

Brighton and Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton pointed to a fit and firing squad as key to Jurgen Locadia's impressive FA Cup bow.

Will this rising star finally break into the starting 11 in 2018?

Brooks Lennon is just one of the many rising stars from the RSL Academy that made his way to the first team (with a slight detour through Europe). Nevertheless, he’s here for good now as he signed to a contract in the offseason that makes him all RSL’s once again.

Look at some of the autonomous vehicle concepts, predicting a future of us being able to treat a car as a lounge or work area when we don’t want to actually drive, and you’ll notice one thing: space. By that, I mean the space they take up on the road. Everyone seems to be designing a large, autonomous SUV because that’s what people want.

People don’t talk much about their credit card debt, but it’s common to have it.

CHICAGO (AP) — Mourners remembered a slain Chicago Police commander Saturday as a model officer and "one of the good guys" who was uninterested in self-promotion, even as he moved up the department's ranks. Of all of Commander Paul Bauer's responsibilities, the ones that mattered the most to him were being a good husband to his wife, Erin, and good father to his daughter, Grace, several speakers said during his funeral at the Nativity of Our Load Church.
