A new Monmouth University survey, published on Wednesday, shows that 49 percent of potential voters said they would definitely or probably back Warnock in the November 8 election, compared to 44 percent who said the same thing about Walker. These figures also include those in Georgia who have already cast their ballot in the Senate election via early voting, representing about 25 percent of potential voters. When broken down further, the results are more even for those taking part in the survey who said they are “extremely motivated” to vote in November, around one in six....

At the event, Matheny presented his new outfielder with a No. 22 jersey, a tangible gesture of the manager’s earlier decision to hand over his longtime uniform number to Heyward. In return, Heyward handed Matheny a jersey with the manager’s new chosen number, 26 to honor a friend who died from injuries suffered in a 2007 car accident. Although Heyward will be eligible for free agency next offseason, the two-time Gold Glover said he has already considered signing an extension....

About 80 percent of the NIH’s funding supports research grants, including funding that supports research conducted outside of the United States. Republicans called that funding into question during the pandemic amid their concerns that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used the money for unauthorized gain-of-function research. A work plan on the HHS Office of the Inspector General’s website said the office will review the NIH’s monitoring of selected grants, and grantee use and management of NIH funds....

The Arizona-based company Linkasink also stocks an interesting range of decorative drain fittings, including beautiful beaded shell, carved stone and even cloisonné drains (linkasink.com). They’re a welcome distraction from flossing.

Something else Track 2 has is a larger number of collectibles. Some of them are hidden very deviously, and a few are tucked into corners players can’t reach until after the game ends. That’s why this Hi-Fi Rush guide will go through each collectible location in Track 2. RELATED: You Can’t Skip Hi-fi Rush’s Rhythm Challenges, but Here’s How To Make Them Easier Pipes and Magnets The first Vlog is next to the starting hallway....

As many have already seen, the first official trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance came as somewhat of a shock to MGS loyalists. Gamers were up in arms as to what to make of this new Metal Gear game - which is unlike anything in the series before. It was very in-your-face and nowhere near the kind of stealth action that players are accustomed to. Thankfully for purists, Revengeance won’t be a part of the traditional Metal Gear Solid storyline and will be set in the future as a spin-off....

Completing the franchise’s first sweep of San Antonio a day after being eliminated from the postseason is a big step forward for the young Kings. Buddy Hield scored 26 points and the Kings snapped an 11-game skid in San Antonio, holding on in the fourth quarter and beating the Spurs 113-106 Sunday night. Not even Sacramento’s teams that made eight straight playoff appearances beginning in 1999 can claim they went undefeated against the five-time NBA champions....

Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his five Ballons d’Or before kick off, the latest of which he claimed on Thursday night. And five was the number of the afternoon as Madrid hit the same number of goals past Sevilla - all in a one-sided first 45 minutes. From the visitors’ point of view, this was a disaster. The Andalusians had the chance to go above Real in the table with a win in this match, but defensively they were all at sea, leaving vast spaces for Madrid’s attackers, and they rarely troubled their rivals at the other end - that despite a number of absences for the home team....

Squanch creative officer Mikey Spano recently shared the thoughts of the studio in an interview with GamesRadar+. Spano explained that the release month that High on Life was originally planned for, October, is very “crowded.” Spano specifically mentions Call of Duty and God of War, though God of War Ragnarok launches in November. According to Spano, if High on Life is “missing out on the conversation” due to these other game releases then it’s a “missed opportunity....

It’s almost a law of nature: the weaker a species’s hold on life, the tougher it is to learn enough about it to haul it back from the brink of extinction. Pandas live in the most remote bamboo forests of China; sea turtles paddle to uncharted depths. Until recently, scientists have had to use intelligent guesswork to fill in the blanks in their knowledge: if a gray whale was sighted off Baja in January and off Alaska in June, researchers drew a line and hoped that it came close to the whale’s actual migration route....

In this environment, sometimes it feels like the safest thing to do is just to stay silent. And that seems to be the approach more students are taking these days. A massive new survey of 37,000 college students reveals that more than 80 percent of them self-censor in the classroom, on campus and online. The survey forms the basis of the 2021 College Free Speech Rankings, produced by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), RealClearEducation (my organization) and the research firm College Pulse....

Arsenal came up short in their opening Champions League game of the 2014-15 season losing 0-2 against Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park. The home side created chances at will with the 2-0 flattering the London club somewhat. Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Arsenal: Immobile (45’) Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Arsenal: Aubameyang (48’) 0 votes

Higuain joined Serie A champions Juventus in July 2016 and had scored in both of his previous appearances against his former side this season. Mou: Shaw a long way off the mark The Argentine received a predictably angry response from the Napoli faithful on his return to the club on Sunday and his goalless run extended to five games after an ineffective display. Higuain mustered a single shot in the 90 minutes, with that solitary effort blocked, as Juventus moved six points clear of Roma following a 1-1 draw, with Marek Hamsik cancelling out Sami Khedira’s sixth-minute opener in a tight match....

PACK RATS: For overnight excursions, look for a back-pack of 3,000 cubic inches or less, and don’t feel compelled to fill it. Meanwhile, manufacturers have finally realized that no amount of adjusting will ever make a man’s pack fit women hikers properly. The shoulder straps on the Badlands 65 are tapered for women’s smaller frames ($179; thenorthface.com). Or try the Matrix Harmonium pack with its portable sound system. Just slide your CD or MP3 player into the padded pocket, plug in the speakers and the hills are alive with the sound of music ($225; eaglecreek....

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 also come with changes to the tools available to players, as gamers have access to some new pieces of equipment to turn the tide of battle. Activision introduced some new field upgrades to Call of Duty this year, with Battle Rage, DDOS, and an Inflatable Decoy being some of the additions. As the name suggests, the Inflatable Decoy can be used to create distractions and diversions, but one fan thought of a clever way of using this field upgrade....

The 30-year-old began her performance on top of NRG Stadium with hundreds of lighted drones floating in the sky above her. She then dramatically jumped down onto the stage in the center of the field.

That makes him the perfect guy to take a look at the player who has, according to some scouts and NBA executives, risen to the top of draft boards around the league ahead of Kansas prospects Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins — forward Jabari Parker, who sits atop our mock draft. There is no guarantee that Parker, a freshman, will enter this year’s draft, but he has grabbed headlines in a season in which he has averaged 18....

A 40-second clip posted on Twitter showed Clinton dressed in robes as a child follows behind her, holding the garment up to prevent it from dragging on the ground. As she steps into the roadway, toward the university, members of the crowd begin yelling at the former U.S. Secretary of State. One person can be heard screaming “war criminal!” at least a dozen times while another individual yells for Clinton “to go f**k” herself....

He competed at the K&N Pro Series West in Tucson, Arizona coming in 18th place, but it wasn’t about where he finished. He was joined on the track by his son Hershel Jr. and granddaughter Mariah, who each participated in different races Saturday. “I’ve had a great life. I wouldn’t backtrack for anything. I have family that’s with me and behind me, so it’s great,” McGriff told the Tucson Star....

Heynckes is expected to be appointed as Bayern coach for a fourth time this week after Ancelotti was sacked at the end of September following a 3-0 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Bayern 13/2 to win CL with dabblebet Ancelotti was reported to have lost the support of several key members of the Bayern dressing room before his dismissal, with speculation suggesting his training methods left a lot to be desired....
