This bold statement reflects a potentially transformative reality: that space is still a largely untapped resource. Today, the current space market is estimated to be $350 billion, but in three decades, it could be worth exponentially more. By the middle of the 21st century, both Bank of America and Merrill Lynch estimate, the space economy will be worth roughly $2.7 trillion. American policymakers are eager to tap into that potential wealth....

Brooklyn South (CBS: ‘97-) 78th Precinct, 65 Sixth Ave. in Brooklyn’s Park Slope THEN During the crackdown on police corruption in the ’70s, cops were tied in the fourth-floor courtroom. On the floor above, holding cells have been converted to a cop lounge. NOW Desperately seeking restoration: the paint is peeling, the ceiling contains asbestos and tiles are worn out. “The building should be condemned,” declares Officer Nick Pierro....

As I watched election night 2000 turn into this controversy over counts and recounts, my mind went back to that day on the bridge. What’s happening in Florida and in Washington is more than a game for pundits. The whole mess reminds African-Americans of an era when we had to pass literacy tests, pay poll taxes and cross every t and dot every i to get to be able to vote....

Dortmund are four points clear atop the table and seven ahead of Bayern after winning a thrilling Der Klassiker on Saturday. Wagner feels Bayern are better than Dortmund despite their contrasting starts to the season, as the Germany international urged his team to respond and win the league title. “It’s crazy when you look at the league table. We are fifth, which can’t be the aspiration of Bayern Munich or us players,” he said....

Pioli’s men went into the interval at Stadio Artemio Franchi 2-1 up courtesy of strikes from Ivan Perisic and Mauro Icardi. However, despite Federico Bernardeschi missing a penalty, Fiorentina raced into a 5-2 lead by the 79th minute, and though two late efforts from Icardi applied some pressure in the closing stages, Inter slumped to a third defeat in their last four Serie A games. Hazard proves he’s still best in England...

Wyman warned voters that the website, which appears to be a useful tool for tracking ballots, is giving out “categorically wrong” information. VoteWashington.info says on its homepage that it uses available data from the Washington Secretary of State, “to provide enhanced access to your public voter information.” The site, which does not provide information on who created it, states that it is a “fully self funded non partisan project” and aims to “enable public review and public discussion” about publicly available data....

The good news is they’re difficult for everyone. There’s a lot we don’t know about players, schemes, and matchups, so we’re all guessing to some extent. We hope committee situations in Philadelphia, Tampa, Washington, Houston, New England, and Denver get sorted out this week, but chances are things will be just as cloudy going into Week 2. This depresses the value of all players involved, but all it takes is a touchdown for a player to pay off in your lineup, so you can’t avoid them all....

If you’re new to this article, we pick four players every week we’ll be overweight in our lineup builds. Then, we give an example of how we’d fill in around them in tournaments. Our “Core Four” this week is Powell, Christian McCaffrey, Michael Thomas and DeVante Parker. This isn’t an “optimal lineup”; rather, it’s an example of one you could build if you start with our “Core Four”. If you’re looking for more great NFL, NBA, or MLB, or PGA DFS advice, check me out on Twitter (@DFSBenj)....

Fortunately, the byes (49ers, Bills, Bears, Giants) aren’t too bad this week. Only the Bears have a true lead back (and he’s hurt), but the various committees for the other teams did provide some value flex plays most weeks. Without them, fantasy owners might have to dig a little deeper or embrace other committee situations. WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

John Clark has worked as a guide in Yellowstone for the last five years. He was on his way to the Snow Lodge at Old Faithful to collect some clients for a tour when he came across the two bison mid-fight. He told Newsweek the two bison fought for between five and 10 minutes. In the video, they can be seen butting heads and shoving one another back and forth across the snow-covered road....

Sam was transferred from a North Macedonian zoo in May and has spent months trying to acclimatize to his new home in the Swiss Alps. Now, delighted keepers at the Arosa Bear Sanctuary have revealed that shy Sam has ventured outside his den for his first dip. Video footage of the swim shows Sam gingerly approaching the pool before slowly walking into it and splashing about. After half an hour of cooling off, he decides he’s had enough and heads back to his enclosure....

Star Wars: The Clone Wars was initially canceled after six seasons back in 2013, with several incomplete episodes being abandoned. Thankfully, the series was renewed for a seventh and final season, allowing creator Dave Filoni and his team to finish the story they started back in 2008. The final season began with some mixed reviews, but the final four-episode arc is widely considered the best the show has ever been....

In fact, we’re not quite sure if anything like this has ever happened before. MORE: Best minor league states | Rosenthal’s stumble | Hardy gets the silent treatment With the bases loaded and Brewers pitcher Wily Peralta at the plate with two outs, Rockies pitcher Christian Friedrich was looking at getting himself out of a early jam. Instead of leaving the bases full, he emptied them on just one pitch....

The ostentatiously erudite Canadian magnate yearns for the days of heroism. And indeed, his staunchly conservative attitudes seem drawn from an earlier era that prized principle over pragmatism. His company, Hollinger International, owns or has an interest in 77 dailies, including the Chicago Sun-Times, The Jerusalem Post and The Daily Telegraph. The Telegraph retains a fierce pro-Union position on Northern Ireland, an uncompromising anti-Labour line and a strong anti-European slant....

Instead of batting at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) nets, Watson, who is suffering from calf and hamstring injuries, helped assistant coach Justin Langer feed balls into the bowling machine and then hit the gym. But he couldn’t take part in any of the drills designed by Cricket Australia (CA) to fine-tune its top order for the series-opener against India. Watson has already said that he won’t bowl in the Boxing Day Test but his chances to play as an opening batsman is also fading as he makes a slow recovery from hamstring and calf injuries....
