“Yutu-2 rover, part of China’s Chang’e-4 mission, has discovered an unusually colored “gel-like” substance during its exploration activities on the far side of the moon,” the newspaper tweeted. The discovery was described in more detail in the Chinese language publication Our Space as part of Yutu-2’s “drive diary,” Space.com reports. The substance was found on 28 July, during “day 8” of an exploration mission to a region covered in small impact craters....

Perhaps the strangest types of glitches are the ones concerning NPCs and the interactions with them. For example, something about a quest with Hosea and hunting rabbits sent a Red Dead Redemption 2 player flying after shooting a rabbit. Perhaps the game was dishing out some karmic justice on the player.

Achrekar, 87, died in Mumbai due to old age-related ailments. “Like many of his students, I learnt my ABCD of cricket under Sir’s guidance,” said the Dronacharya awardee’s most famous ward, in a statement. “His contribution to my life cannot be captured in words. He built the foundation that I stand on,” he added. Tendulkar, unarguably the greatest batsman in modern cricket, was coached by Achrekar at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai’s Dadar as a child....

The Englishman has missed a lot of action this season having sat out the first half of the campaign with a knee injury. On his return he did well and looked fresh, but in recent weeks he’s struggled for fitness with a couple of niggling injuries. He’s missed two of the last three league games and has started just three games since February. Despite his injury concerns, his manager Arsene Wenger is confident Oxlade-Chamberlain will be fit for the World Cup....

Wenger will become the most successful manager in FA Cup history with his seventh win should the Gunners defeat Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday. Man City close in on Ederson & Mendy deals Earlier, quotes had emerged in which the Emirates Stadium head coach said his treatment from critics this season has been a disgrace. But, when asked if he would silence those people with a victory, Wenger told BBC Sport: “No, I believe that 99% of Arsenal fans are fantastic people who stand behind the team....

The 2017-18 campaign is only 15 games old, but the Gunners are already prepared to focus on other areas. Wenger’s side sit 15 points adrift of leaders Manchester City at present, with a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United dropping them into fifth spot. Arsenal are, however, very much in the top-four picture, safely through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and the last-32 of the Europa League and preparing to open their FA Cup campaign with a third round clash against Nottingham Forest....

Arsenal have dropped to sixth place in the table following their 3-1 loss at West Brom last weekend, while they crashed out of the Champions League following a 10-2 aggregate defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich. Wenger, however, feels Arsenal’s situation is not as bad as some make it out to be, stressing the quality of the other teams in the Premier League these days makes it difficult to consistently win trophies....

The Rams and Vikings, tied for the second-best record in the NFC, play in Minneapolis. For seven straight years, from 1973-79, one or the other played in the NFC title game, twice facing each other. The Rams are back in their old home in the Coliseum; too bad this game won’t be in the old Met in Bloomington, outdoors, like in the NFL Films montages. Elsewhere around the league (as Brent, Irv and Phyllis used to say), the Patriots and Raiders play in Mexico City, bringing back memories of playoff games past (Tuck Rule, anyone?...

Four unbeaten teams remain in the mix, and six Power 5 teams have one loss heading into Week 12. That is the board we are dealing with, and there weren’t too many shakeups in the order. Nobody lost. We’re inching closer to Dec. 2 — when the final pairings are announced — and that will be here before you know it. With that mind, here are the four teams in, the first two out and four to watch heading into Week 12: A BIG TEN STORYThe alternate history of Notre Dame football...

Last week went quite badly for us, and our season average dropped to 150 DK points, via the cash game log. We’ll be looking to shake off one of our worst performances of the season to attack DK again on the Sunday featured classic slate. This week’s Sunday morning updates helped get us on the three of the top five players in targets since Week 11. Week 14 Rankings:...

We know there will be season-long surprises at this position, like Darren Waller last year, so looking at early-season trends and taking a shot on rising stars like T.J. Hockenson (@ Cardinals) and Mike Gesicki (@ Jaguars) over Ertz (vs. Bengals) or Evan Engram (vs. 49ers) shouldn’t be all that controversial. Obviously, Ertz and Engram are capable of big games at any time, but Hockenson and Gesicki are, too. The difference between them isn’t that great right now....

Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys. Romo didn’t win the shootout with Peyton Manning, but he did produce more fantasy points, which is really all we care about anyway. Romo threw for an absurd 506 yards and five TDs and even threw in a 2-point conversion to make up for his interception (which ultimately did the Cowboys in). That was good for more than 50 standard fantasy points, while Manning (414 yards, five total TDs, INT) put up “only” about 44....

Check back for live weather updates during our Sunday morning start/sit chat. Rainy Conditions Possible: These games have at least a 30 percent chance of rain. Patriots at Bengals (90 percent chance) Chiefs at Titans (79 percent) Ravens at Dolphins (30 percent) Rain could lead to a wet track and cause these teams to rely more heavily on the running game and short passes. That could actually help Chris Johnson get more touches, but ultimately, the rain doesn't figure to cause many problems in any of these games unless it comes down heavily for brief periods....

MORE WEEK 6 RANKINGS: QB | WR | TE | DEF | K FIVE STAR Le’Veon Bell, Steelers @ Browns. Only one team has given up more fantasy points per game (FPPG) to running backs than Cleveland… Matt Forte, Bears @ Falcons. It’s the Falcons. Perfect matchup for Forte in the Georgia Dome. Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks vs. Cowboys Giovani Bernard, Bengals vs. Panthers. Remember that fierce Panthers run D from 2013?...

Once again, our busts were close to spot on last week. Isaiah Crowell and Kenyan Drake both had issues generating yardage at RB. Derek Carr and Joe Flacco underwhelmed at QB, too. Our receivers, Josh Gordon, Will Fuller, and Robby Anderson, also did a whole lot of nothing while all three of our defenses (Titans, Browns, Bengals) allowed a lot of points, as well. This week, we’ll try to continue to give you the accurate advice needed to keep you competitive....

But wait — there's much more absurdity in the latest Sporting News Fantasy Source Football podcast (Download link). Segments include: Game Balls: Is Vernon Davis the best fantasy TE if Jimmy Graham is hurt? Should you ever bench Cam Newton? What’s Justin Blackmon’s ceiling? Riding Home with the Cheerleaders: After a brief explanation of why this is a bad thing (that includes the phrase “earthy gals”), we admonish an aging TE, a disappointing stud RB, and a plodding RB who’s holding back an exciting rookie (and for once that last one isn’t BenJarvus Green-Ellis)....

Greg Olsen appears to be back – he has caught a TD in each of the past two games – so he cracks the top-five for us this week. Additionally, O.J. Howard has a great matchup against the Panthers, so he could end up having a big outing. Further down the ranks, there are plenty more players getting enough volume to stay relevant, including Kyle Rudolph (vs. Lions) and Trey Burton (@ Bills)....
