The former 49ers quarterback has continued his quest to get back to the NFL, first with a workout for the Seahawks earlier this offseason, then holding an open throwing session at the University of Michigan last weekend. As it turns out, Kaepernick’s name was bandied about in talks in a role on the Vikings coaching staff, according to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio. During Jim Harbaugh’s interviews for the Vikings head coaching job earlier this offseason, Kaepernick’s name was brought up as a potential fit for the quarterback coach role “if/when he decided to abandon his desire to play,” Florio reports....

We got our stolen iPhone 4 back, even though they had a new SIM card and different carrier. I got an email yesterday telling me that the phone had been located. I tracked it down using the FindMyIPhone App and we recovered the phone. I’m thrilled we got it back, but confused as to how the app tracked it, since the phone had a new SIM card and carrier.

By then, it may have been too late, according to a harsh government report issued last week. The fire consumed nearly 50,000 acres and destroyed more than 400 homes in the surrounding area, causing an estimated $1 billion in damage. Flames engulfed large portions of the sprawling Los Alamos National Laboratory complex –though the Energy Department says there were no radioactive leaks from the lab’s sensitive nuclear facilities. The blame game was quick to follow....

He was born without a fibula (commonly known as calf bone) in both his legs and, as a result, Pistorius’ legs were amputated halfway between his knees and ankles. His parents took this difficult decision just before his first birthday. However, within six months he started walking with the help of prosthetic legs. Being handicapped did not dampen his love for sports. The sportsman in him never gave up and did not let his physical shortcoming come in the way....

Still, most people don’t get enough dietary calcium, so try adding a serving or two of daily milk or yogurt to your diet. Other dairy products include sour cream, cream cheese, or regular cheese. Choose low- or non-fat milk and dairy products whenever possible to avoid extra calories and saturated fat. Or choose calcium-fortified soy, almond, or rice milk.

In fact, the company once was considering making a live-action movie for the Sailor Moon series. A director had been chosen for the project and several people were rumored to be cast for the film. With people still discussing the issues of the DiC dub of the anime today, who knows what it would have looked like if Disney had finished the project. When DiC Joined Disney While anime fans might remember DiC Entertainment best for bringing Sailor Moon to the United States, others will remember how it worked on cartoon classics like Inspector Gadget, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and G....

Such was the case Friday night in St. Louis, when the Cardinals lucked into a potential Keystone Cops routine turning into an inning-ending out. With a runner on first and Trevor Rosenthal pitching, Ryan Howard hits a grounder toward first baseman Matt Adams. And, you can watch what happens for yourself … Yep. Your typical 3-1-3 putout. And though we can’t embed the video here, it’s worth checking out on MLB....

For the first time in three seasons, the Trail Blazers have a participant in the NBA All-Star Game. And, just like before, that person is Damian Lillard. This came at a time when the Blazers, frankly, were in need of some good news. Their record 48 games in — currently at 26-22 — has hovered just above the .500 mark. The team’s consistency in treading water and staying just within the playoff picture is remarkable, really....

The DualSense controller has been one of the PS5’s standout features ever since the console launched last November. First-party exclusives like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Returnal are pinnacles of the DualSense experience, whereas third-party games like Resident Evil Village offer a slight taste of the DualSense’s capabilities. Naturally, the PS5 version of Deathloop has an advantage over its eventual Xbox counterpart, and so far, Deathloop’s DualSense features seem to stand out among the rest of the PS5 game experiences releasing this year....

It’s no great surprise to see Giannis Antetokounmpo take home MVP this year after leading the Bucks to a league-best 56-17 record in the regular season, although some had some qualms with him also taking Defensive Player of the Year honors. Brandon Ingram (Most Improved), Ja Morant (Rookie of the Year), Montrezl Harrell (Sixth Man of the Year), Vince Carter (Sportsmanship Award) and Nick Nurse (Coach of the Year) all seem deserving of their respective awards....

While I know I’m connected to my wired network (charter), do I need to ’tell’ my LinuxMint Maya something to open and install? (Oh, and thanks for your helpful ans. a few weeks ago. You folks are the greatest!!!)

Les Rouges are leading the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying by four points with three matches remaining, and there is a real possibility that Canada could qualify for its first World Cup since 1986. It’s just one win away from clinching one of three direct berths. Canada will have to wait until March to clinch a World Cup berth. A win in Costa Rica on March 24 would have Canada mathematically clear of five other teams and assured of a top-three finish and a ticket to Qatar....

But for the Red Sox and Cardinals, what went right? How did these two teams put together the kind of magical run that wins a pennant? As Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster said on Tuesday, "Once you get to the playoffs, the separation is a lot smaller than it was during the regular season, and each round it just gets smaller and smaller. You're talking about two great teams that have fought hard all the way since spring training and worked hard to get to where we're at....
