Bills’ midseason defensive additions CB Douglas and DT Joseph have made an immediate impact

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:38:33 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills’ defense is banged up. What else is new?A few things, actually.The significant contributions made by cornerback Rasul Douglas and defensive tackle Linval Joseph a mere three weeks following their arrival haven’t gone unnoticed.“It’s pretty remarkable to be honest,” safety Micah Hyde said, referring to Douglas, who had two interceptions and recovered a fumble in a 32-6 win over the Jets on Sunday. “Midseason, coming in and learning the playbook and being able to go out there and not just know what he’s doing, but to play fast is pretty impressive.”And then there’s the 35-year-old Joseph, who has combined to play 79 snaps to stabilize the middle of Buffalo’s defensive front.“It’s huge. It’s huge,” Hyde said. “For them to come in and step in and give us a little boost, a little energy is cool.”It’s a boost the Bills (6-5) certainly needed after adding the veterans over a two-day span to reinforce a defense missing three starters.Rasul, ...

ANÁLISIS | OpenAI tuvo una semana turbulenta: ¿Quién ganó y quién perdió?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:38:33 GMT

(CNN) — La crisis de liderazgo que afectó a OpenAI durante casi una semana terminó casi tan abruptamente como comenzó: con un anuncio conciso y críptico de la compañía que podría tener enormes repercusiones para su futuro.En cierto modo, el resultado fue un retorno al status quo: Sam Altman sería restituido como CEO, y quedó intacta la profunda y lucrativa asociación comercial de la compañía con Microsoft, que adquirió una participación de US$ 13.000 millones en la compañía incluso cuando ésta desarrolla su propia IA.Sin embargo, en otros sentidos, el acuerdo sigue siendo un momento decisivo para OpenAI y el campo de la inteligencia artificial en general.La semana turbulenta parece haber resultado en una gran victoria para Altman personalmente; defensores de la adopción generalizada de la IA; y algunas de las élites más establecidas del país. Y se produjo a expensas de los escépticos de la IA que, según muchos, fracasaron en su intento de adoptar una postura de principios a fa...

Families on edge amid delay in planned release of hostages held by Hamas 

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:38:33 GMT

Families of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza were on edge Wednesday as the planned release of dozens of hostages was delayed. Israel’s cabinet approved a deal on Tuesday to free at least 50 hostages during a four-day pause in the ongoing war with Hamas. Under the agreement, Israel must also release 150 Palestinian prisoners in a trade only for women and children on both sides of the conflict.The deal is structured such that, each day, a group of hostages will be released to be taken to a designated border point. As of Wednesday, though, at least one official said releases are not expected to begin until at least Friday. “I was hoping for a Thanksgiving Day miracle and my hopes were dashed,” said Boston-area resident Jason Greenberg. Greenberg said five of his family members were taken hostage when gunmen stormed into southern Israel back in early October. Greenberg said two family members are now dead.“I understand that this is the best deal that has be...

Bruins grind out 3-1 win over Florida

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:38:33 GMT

The Florida Panthers went for a quick knockout on the Bruins on Wednesday but the B’s took their best shot, steadied their legs and came away with a hard-earned 3-1 victory at Amerant Bank Arena.Linus Ullmark (27 saves) was excellent early on and the B’s made a pair of second period goals hold up for the victory.The Panthers were without their Selke Award candidate Sasha Barkov but, considering the intensity with which the Panthers started the game, it was a very good win for the B’s after blowing a late lead and losing in Tampa on Monday.With Charlie McAvoy’s high, late hit on Oliver Ekman-Larson from October 30 still on their minds, the Panthers came out flying and physical, landing a couple of early hits on the B’s defenseman.Florida dominated the early going and, if not for Ullmark (15 first period saves), the B’s could have been chasing the game from the get-go. But after the Panthers got the first two power plays, the B’s penalty kill ...

EVERETT — Too many weapons in too many places.That was the problem for St. Mary’s in trying to shut down Everett on Wednesday night at Everett Memorial Stadium.The Crimson Tide racked up over 500 yards of total offense en route to a 56-28 win over the Spartans to compete a 9-2 campaign in coach Justin Flores’ first season.“I was happy to give these guys a chance to play on Thanksgiving,” Flores said about a matchup that was only put together in August.The Crimson Tide’s explosiveness was clear early and often.
