As of Tuesday, 49,249 people who didn’t vote in November had already cast ballots in the January 5 runoffs, according to the U.S. Election Project, including 31,000 who voted in the past week. Democrats and Republicans have a vested interest in the outcome of the elections, as it will determine control of the Senate, and in what’s expected to be a close race, every vote matters. About 5 million people cast votes in Georgia’s Senate election in November, and in the five weeks between Election Day and the end of the voter registration period, organizations and groups worked to increase the number of people who could cast ballots....

Cordis, a 21-year-old resident of Ohiowa, Nebraska, said he has received death threats since the photo first surfaced on social media. In comments to the Omaha World-Herald on Sunday afternoon, Cordis confirmed he owns the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado but claimed someone else is responsible for the racist message. According to the newspaper, Cordis said he parked his truck outside a mall in Lincoln around 5 p.m. local time on Saturday, and found the slur written on its rear window after “about 20 minutes” spent inside....

After Neck Trauma A painful neck injury can be alarming. It can be hard to know if you or someone else has had serious neck damage. Often, a neck injury leads to bruising, dislocation, or a neck sprain or strain. Sometimes a neck injury can cause a cervical spine fracture (broken neck bone). The good news is, trauma to the neck is rarely serious, and even less often life-threatening. That said, an abundance of caution is a good thing immediately following an injury, or when your symptoms flare up....

Researchers recently discovered that technicians had accessed data on laptops they worked on. The study also showed that few repair shops have clear privacy policies. So, it’s a good reminder to beef up the security of your device if your laptop or phone needs repairs, experts say. “If you’ve turned your device over to a repair company and provided them access with your security pin, they can access anything that isn’t further restricted on your phone and make copies of the data,” cybersecurity expert Josh Smith of the company Nuspire told Lifewire in an email interview....

And yet, it feels like EA has made every attempt to ignore Most Wanted at every turn. The most recent Need for Speed Heat supposedly used Most Wanted as an inspiration, and while it never quite reached the highs of the original Most Wanted, the inspiration was clearly there. As the best-selling Need for Speed game from the whole franchise, it’s been practically ignored by the franchise’s latest efforts. Now with Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit being remastered, there’s no reason why Most Wanted shouldn’t receive the same treatment....

The World Ends With You was first released in July 2007 for the Nintendo DS and soon became a cult classic, blending use of both the top and bottom screens of the console for a unique action JRPG experience.

This will be the third consecutive season that the Kings will be hosting a Bollywood themed night, after its previous two editions in front of sell-out crowds. The night will include India-inspired fabrics and decor, cuisine, Bollywood-themed fan giveaways for those in attendance, and performances from leading Indian-American entertainers and celebrities.

The mercurial center has gone from a franchise cornerstone after signing a four-year, $98 million contract in 2016 to an unmovable asset two years later. It’s no surprise to see the Heat trying to trade Whiteside based on how the 2017-18 campaign ended, but Miami’s front office is quickly realizing that’s easier said than done.

Yeah, about that. Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical broke the news late Sunday night that the Kings are ending Cousins’ seven-year stint in Sacramento.

Why did they keep making all those sequels? Each entry in the “Points of Emphasis” series ended the same way: in barbarity and mayhem. The most recent edition, issued in November 2012 and rolled out nationwide into the spring of 2013, was the most brutal of all. In the 2012-13 college basketball season, despite the efforts of the NCAA rules committee to curb physical defense and to mitigate the practice of defenders jumping in front of airborne shooters to claim bogus charging fouls, scoring plunged to its lowest point in more than six decades, long before the shot clock and 3-point shot were introduced....
