Peterson, who’s also been dealing with a finger injury, was originally listed as probable after being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, before returning for a full session Friday. MORE: Week 7 picks straight-up But the Vikings official Twitter page posted Saturday that Peterson has been downgraded. Peterson has averaged 107.1 rushing yards per game in his career against the Lions, including 192 yards from scrimmage in their first meeting this season in Week 2....

“That’s one of my personal goals,” Peterson told the Pioneer Press. “I’m sitting here and talking about 2,500 yards (for the season), and I better get the rushing title. So that’s definitely one of my goals.” MORE: Ranking Week 4 Fantasy RBs | Could Peterson have gone prep to pro? Very lofty goals, indeed. Peterson, 30, is already leading the league with 291 yards in three games, a pace that would leave him about 1,000 yards short of 2,500, so he still has a ways to go....

In a post shared on Reddit’s Am I The A****** (AITA), user throwaway_9572847 said: “My older sister developed a serious illness when I was 6 and my parents decided that they couldn’t care for both of us I guess, so they kind of unceremoniously dumped me at my grandparents and my uncle took me in. Like, didn’t even explain to me what was going on, just ‘you’re going to go visit gran for awhile’ and never picked me back up....

Newsweek had the opportunity to speak with Executive VP Cody Rhodes and Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes from All Elite Wrestling to discuss the importance of having toys come to the market this summer. The pair feels the whole toy-production process came together at a seemingly rapid pace. “I say it happened fast, but it’s so funny, because it’s a wrestler company by wrestlers, so it has this kind of wild-west appeal....

The Blues goalkeeping coach Edu Gasol reasoned that their opponents were a lot more intense on the field and admitted that the loss leaves them at a disadvantage in the road to qualification to the inter-zonal playoffs. New Radiant and Bengaluru have nine points from four games but the former has a head-to-head advantage. “New Radiant played this game with a lot of intensity and that’s how they’ve got the win....

Ingwe struggled in 2016 and it is evident that they don’t want a repeat of the same going by their January acquisitions. They have, just but to mention, Gabriel Andika, Dennis Sikhayi, Robinson Kamura, Abdalla Salim,Whyvonne Isuza, Samuel Ndung’u, Vincent Oburu and Gilbert Fiamenyo in their new-signings list making the team looks stronger even before setting foot on the pitch.

These subsidies were created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and offset some or all of the monthly premium costs people would otherwise have to pay themselves. This makes self-purchased coverage much more affordable and somewhat levels the playing field between employer-sponsored coverage and self-purchased coverage. But there were concerns that coverage still wasn’t affordable enough. So the American Rescue Plan (ARP), enacted in the spring of 2021, included provisions to temporarily enhance the ACA’s premium subsidies....

Noor, who is part of the effort to stop the Taliban’s takeover by creating more militias, told the AP the country’s military is badly weakened due to the U.S.’s speedy exit, which left military logistically unprepared to fight off the rush of insurgents. At his lavish Mazar-e-Sharif home, Noor told reporters the Taliban’s rapid gains were a surprise to him, especially in the Badakhshan province in the country’s northeast corner....

Bolton, who served in Donald Trump’s administration from April 2018 to September 2019, made his assessment after five regional capitals fell to the militants since Friday. Three of those—including the strategically important Kunduz, a city of more than 350,000 people—were taken within hours of each other on Sunday. “In Afghanistan, the Taliban has seized three more provincial capitals,” he tweeted later that day. “Right now – is literally Biden’s last chance to reverse his and Trump’s erroneous withdrawal policy....

President Houphouet-Boigny set out to deliberately create a contrast to the “state socialism” that had been made fashionable by developing-country titans such as Jawaharlal Nehru in India, Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt and Josip Broz Tito in Yugoslavia. Houphouet-Boigny resolved that in Cote d’Ivoire no welfare state would be supported, no web of bureaucrats would stifle the vigor of the marketplace, no government diktats would smother private enterprise. In promoting state capitalism, Houphouet-Boigny would frequently quote former West German chancellor Ludwig Erhard: “Let the men and money loose, and prosperity will follow....

When law enforcement officers tried to arrest Matthew Kaigle, a 33-year-old white male on Wednesday after he was accused of attacking a traffic guard, “Kaigle refused to exit his vehicle after being told multiple times he was under arrest,” according to a police report. “Officers did not pursue Kaigle due to his unpredictable and violent history.” In this most recent incident, Kaigle was allegedly involved in an altercation with two construction traffic flaggers....

The Yankees have traded away lefty relievers Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman — and the return, it should be noted, is really impressive — and seem to have accepted that 2016 will not go down in history as a playoff season for the franchise. Trading away the veteran stars to acquire young talent is absolutely the right move for the long-term health of the franchise. Without a doubt. MORE: The worst in-season trades ever for every American League team...

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Biden v. Texas, the “remain in Mexico” policy immigration challenge, is a disappointment and will have deleterious real-world consequences for America’s security and sovereignty along its porous southern border. But the Texas litigation is hardly over, and it will now return to a favorable district court judge. In all other recent meaningful cases this Supreme Court term, conservatives have indisputably triumphed. Conservatives scored huge wins for religious liberty in this term’s cases of Carson v....

Harrison raised record-breaking sums in his bid to oust Graham, spending more than $104 million during his failed campaign. Future control of the Senate now depends on the results of two Senate runoff races in Georgia, adding an increased national focus on the state. Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock are bidding to oust David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler respectively, with polling suggesting each race could be tight....

Perhaps few aspects of modern American life are as startling to the outsider as the contemporary elimination of the clock as a source of limitations on the possible. In 1989 I moved to New York from Geneva, Switzerland, where many groceries actually closed for lunch and then shut their doors for the day at 6, well before I left work in the evening. My Swiss friends explained that shopping hours were based on the assumption that men had wives at home to shop for them; working women or male bachelors had to do their shopping on Saturday....
