Roma huffed and puffed but fell short despite their 4-2 second-leg victory on Wednesday – Liverpool advancing to the Kiev showpiece against Real Madrid 7-6 on aggregate. The Italian side faced an uphill task in the Eternal City, where Roma entered the match trailing 5-2 following last week’s absorbing opening leg at Anfield. Roma came within just one goal of forcing extra time at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to Radja Nainggolan’s late brace but it was too little too late for the hosts, who were left aggrieved with the officials....

“The appetite for financial news is changing,” admits CNN’s Ken Jautz, head of the floundering CNNfn. “People are less focused on the stock market. There are fewer people out there who are interested in minute-to-minute coverage.” Jautz says that any network that has built up programming around daytraders has to be doing some serious rejiggering at the moment. CNNfn, for one, is shifting its focus in the after-business hours to personal finance....

Below, a panel of Newsweek Expert Forum members explained how companies should approach investigating the cause of plummeting website traffic. Try one of these eight methods to get to the root of the problem. 1. Check With The Web Host and Review Internal Analytics For a traffic issue, I generally check with the hosting company first and then do a review inside of analytics. Low traffic can be caused by a variety of factors such as hosting, website issues, advertising or SEO?...

Webb has captured the world’s attention this week after NASA released a suite of images on Monday and Tuesday, representing the first publicly-available proper images the telescope has taken since it was launched in December. The images included far-away galaxies and nebulae, and Webb also captured data on the atmosphere of a distant planet. As part of the wider data release, NASA, along with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), released a commissioning report Tuesday outlining Webb’s science performance capabilities over a six-month testing period following its launch....

The cheapest ticket for the match cost £1500 rising up to about £5000. Only 1000 tickets were made available to the general public while the rest of the 15500 tickets will be handed to the fighters, sponsors and promoters. The tickets for the fighters weigh-in also will also go on sale on Friday. Talking about the weigh-in, Mayweather’s promoter Leonard Ellerbe said that the atmosphere in the arena during the weigh-in would be unlike any other seen before....

For most couples, a cake topper sees the happy couple together and grinning, showing their love for all to see. For this couple however, they wanted a little more for everyone to see—quite literally. Wedding guest Scott Vasquez, who uses the TikTok name @lifeofscottyv, was left shocked when he looked at the back of the cake to see a certain body part of the bride on show. He was so shocked he shared the toppers online in a now-viral video, with viewers left just as startled....

Greg Zuerlein became a fantasy staple while with the Rams, but after being signed by the Cowboys in the offseason, he’ll try to remind his old team what they’re missing on Sunday Night Football. Does that mean he’s going to “kick extra hard” or demand to attempt a 70-yarder? No, of course not, but it’s as good of a reason as any to put Zuerlein in the top spot over other stud kickers like Justin Tucker, Harrison Butker, and Wil Lutz....

You can tell the 49ers and Patriots are two of the strongest defenses in the league because we’re very much against their opponent this week. We don’t like Carson Wentz or Zach Ertz against New England, and we’re against Kenyan Drake, Johnson and Christian Kirk against San Francisco. Denver is also a tough passing matchup, hence the placement of Kirk Cousins on this list. WEEK 11 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

Of this week’s streamer group, no one stands out more than Cameron Brate. The new No. 1 TE for the Bucs in the wake of Howard’s injury, caught a TD pass last week against the 49ers and should have a chance to do so again against the Panthers league-worst TE defense. Elsewhere, guys like Kyle Rudolph (@ Patriots) and the aforementioned Heuerman (@ Bengals, if healthy) should be scoring threats and have seen more targets in recent weeks....

Opportunity is the theme for a few other players on our list. There’s Jonathan Williams taking advantage and then some of the absence of Marlon Mack (hand) and probably looking at another 20-plus touches this week. Jack Doyle should see an increase in the Colts’ passing attack, too, now that Eric Ebron (ankle) is on Injured Reserve. And Nick O’Leary joined Jacksonville off the street, caught four passes, and is now looking at a dream matchup against the Buccaneers....

Despite an unusually late bye week eliminating Rob Gronkowski from this week’s rankings and Mark Andrews going on the COVID list, there is still good depth there. That’s thanks in part to the expected return of Zach Ertz from an ankle injury, but in PPR formats, it has to do more with certain TEs getting more targets. WEEK 13 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

MORE WEEK 16 RANKINGS: QB | RB | WR | TE | K FIVE STAR 1. Detroit Lions @ Bears. Jimmy Clausen is taking over at QB for Chicago, and the Lions will benefit on Sunday. 2. Philadelphia Eagles @ Redskins. Fantasy’s top defense against one of the most generous offenses? Yes please. 3. Seattle Seahawks @ Cardinals. Even away from the 12th man, look for the Seahawks to feast on the Cardinals and Ryan Lindley....

MORE WEEK 16 RANKINGS: QB | RB | WR | DEF | K FIVE STAR Rob Gronkowski, Patriots @ Jets Jimmy Graham, Saints vs. Falcons Julius Thomas, Broncos @ Bengals MORE: DraftKings Week 16: Beat the SN Experts! FOUR STAR Greg Olsen, Panthers vs. Browns Delanie Walker, Titans @ Jaguars. Walker padded his totals with a couple big plays late in last week’s game, but it all counted the same for fantasy owners....

5-Star Players LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles. Not that you need a reason to start McCoy, but the Bears defense has allowed 5.1 yards per rush this year. He should run wild on Sunday night. Matt Forte, RB, Bears. While the Eagles run defense, unlike their pass defense, is solid, Forte is playing too well to sit. He’s gone over the century mark rushing in three straight games and is averaging 152....

Per usual, our top-10 TEs are, more or less, the same as previous weeks with the only changes coming in the order in which they’re ranked. This week, Robert Tonyan (vs. Titans) and Logan Thomas (vs. Panthers) are bumped up a bit higher than usual, as Tonyan has consistently gotten red-zone TDs and scores while Thomas continues to see a lot of targets regardless of who is starting at QB....

We still list plenty of “starting” running backs and wide receivers who are being undervalued, but if you’re in the running for your league crown, you shouldn’t need to gamble on the likes of Justin Forsett, Kenneth Dixon, Paul Perkins, or Dwayne Washington. You probably don’t want to take a chance on receivers like Marqise Lee or Kenny Stills, either. Dontrelle Inman (still ridiculously underowned), Robby Anderson, and maybe Cameron Meredith have some appeal, but chances are you have a more stable top three....

For example, the Titans (vs. Jaguars) should have a chance to slow down a Jacksonville offense that doesn’t have a ton of proven playmakers outside of DJ Chark. Elsewhere, the Saints (@ Raiders) and Bucs (vs. Panthers) both have easier matchups after playing each other in a Week 1 clash of titans. They deserve consideration as top streaming options, though an even gutsier move would be to take the Browns after they were just roasted by the Ravens....

These groups and individuals are attempting to hijack the all-too necessary discussion on racism, oppression and identity in the U.S. for their own narrow agenda of browbeating Israel. They are hoping that the narrow lens they have manufactured for the conflict will allow them to find common cause with those who lack a proper understanding of the historical context of the Israel-Arab conflict. They try and paint the conflict in simplistic and facile terms of oppression, conquest and occupation....

Congress needs to look into the 2020 riots, the Black Lives Matter organizations that coordinated them (not the concept that black lives matter, which is unimpeachable), and their founders. We can call the hearings the Joint Action for Congressional Knowledge hearings, or JACK, after Jack Del Rio, the NFL coach who was fined $100,000 simply for drawing the common-sense comparison between the 2020 riots and the events of January 6, 2021....

OnePlus is known to tease its products before their official unveiling by releasing renders and gradually detailing their key specs. The OnePlus Watch Will Look Similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active 2 The OnePlus Watch render shared by Unbox Therapy and later retweeted by OnePlus shows off the smartwatch’s circular design. From the render, the watch looks very similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active 2, something which other people on Twitter have also pointed out....
