Kevin Stefanski gives up Browns play-calling duties

Image
  Kevin Stefanski Hands Over Browns Play-Calling Duties to Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey: A New Era for Cleveland’s Offense In a significant shift for the Cleveland Browns, head coach Kevin Stefanski has decided to relinquish his play-calling responsibilities, passing them on to recently hired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. This move marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Browns’ offense, signaling Stefanski’s willingness to adapt in hopes of igniting the team's underwhelming performance on that side of the ball. The Decision to Step Back Since taking over as head coach in 2020, Stefanski has called offensive plays for the Browns. Under his leadership, Cleveland’s offense initially flourished, particularly during the 2020 season when the team made a rare playoff appearance, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. Stefanski's offensive schemes, emphasizing a run-heavy attack and play-action passes, played a key role in maximizing the talents of qu...

No chance of martial law in Pakistan: Gilani

Image
ISLAMABAD: There would be no martial law in the country, Prime Minister  Yousuf Raza Gilani said in an apparent bid to dispel rumours of a military takeover. He told the National Assembly on Monday that there would be no martial law or any caretaker set-up in the country as no one, including civil society and the media, would accept it. The abrupt departure of ailing President  Asif Ali Zardari  on Dec 6 to Dubai had led to speculation of a coup. Though the president returned to Pakistan late Sunday, uncertainty still persists over a secret memo to Washington that claimed he had feared a military takeover following the May 2 killing of  al-Qaida  leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad. "We should not provide such chances which can derail democracy," Associated Press of Pakistan quoted Gilani as saying. He appreciated leader of opposition Nawaz Sharif for giving statements in support of democracy.

Hanukkah: A Festival of Lights Celebrates a Miracle

Image
The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after a successful battle won by Judah Maccabee against the Greek and Syrian armies around 165 B.C. During the time of rededication, miraculously, a single day's supply of oil burned for eight days. Today the Hanukkah menorah has nine branches and commemorates that event as each of the eight candles are lit every day of the holiday and the ninth candle, called the shamash is used to light each of them. Already a holiday that brought Jewish families together for prayer, music, singing, games, gift-giving and traditional foods, Hanukkah–since the winter holiday usually falls near Christmas–a Stanford University survey found that American Jews observe it more adamently than in Israel to preserve the traditions and significance of Hanukkah. Spinning the dreidel and eating fried foods like latkes, or potato pancakes, and jelly-filled donuts are traditional family and community activit...

Despite her best efforts, there is no method to Brooke Burke Charvet ‘s madness. “I wish I were always calm in the chaos. I have children with very strong personalities, and as elating as that is, it can also be deflating,” the Dancing With the Stars   co-host, 40, says in Fitness ‘s January issue . “There’s a lot of action in my household and sometimes I’m a referee all day long.” Mom to  Neriah Shae , 11, and  Sierra Sky , 9½, with ex-husband  Garth Fisher , and  Heaven Rain , 4½, and  Shaya Braven , 3½, with  husband   David Charvet , Burke Charvet has made it no secret that bringing her family together has been anything but easy. “Having a blended family is a challenge.

U.S. Senate Passes Unemployment Extension

Image
The U.S. Senate passed a bill which had a provision for renewed unemployment extension benefits.  Florida's U.S. Senator Bill Nelson voted for the bill while Senator Marco Rubio voted against the bill. Following his vote against H.R. 2055, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012, Senator Marco Rubio issued the following statement: “This massive 1,200-plus page bill represents everything that is wrong with Washington. Our country faces major economic challenges, but Congress wasted the whole year stuck in partisan gridlock only to pass a funding bill that solves none of our problems, just to avoid a government shutdown.  This plan spends too much, wastes precious taxpayer dollars to fund a menu of job-killing regulations, anti-life provisions and earmarks, and has been ushered through Congress in a highly secretive and non-transparent manner that didn’t allow for consideration of even a single amendment. I cannot support it.” Both of Brevard County's U.S. Representa...

'Brain-Eating' Amoeba Kills Second Neti Pot User

Image
Louisiana state health officials are warning patients about potential dangers of using tap water in the sinus-irrigating neti pot after two patients died of  Naegleria fowleri  infection. N. fowleri  is known as a "brain-eating" amoeba because it can enter a patient's nose, infect the brain, and cause primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a brain-tissue destroying condition. The first Louisiana patient died of neti pot-induced infection in June. An additional two patientsdied of  N. fowleri  infection in August after swimming in warm, fresh water. The amoeba usually infects patients that submerge their heads in freshwater lakes and rivers, though it can be transmitted through inadequately chlorinated pool water or underheated (less than 116°F) tap water that enters a patient's nose, a statement from the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals said. Patients that irrigate their noses with a neti pot should use distilled, sterile, or previously boil...

Britney Spears’s ‘Princess’ Engagement Ring: All the Details!

Image
Courtesy Neil Lane; Inset: Kevin Mazur/WireImage Britney Spears  may be a pop-star diva to the rest of the world, but to  beau Jason Trawick , “she’s his everyday princess,” says celebrity jeweler Neil Lane, who designed Spears’s dazzling engagement ring  to befit Trawick’s vision of the singer’s down-home regality. “Jason is a romantic and when I asked him to tell me about Britney and what the ring would represent to them so I could find inspiration, his response was always the same — she is his princess!” With that theme in mind, Lane tells PEOPLE he designed from scratch a tiara-motif sparkler with a round, perfect white diamond in a handmade platinum setting that “looks like a mini crown,” the celebrated jeweler says. He also added 90 small round diamonds around the eternity band. “Jason didn’t want an over-the-top ring with a giant stone,” he adds. Over the last month, Lane and Trawick clocked phone and email minutes as they collaborated while Trawick wa...
