On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Common Council voted 12 to 1 to set a new citywide mask mandate for any person over the age of 3 entering an indoor public space. The proposal was approved by the Public Health and Safety Committee and supported by the local health commissioner. However, the “non-mandate mandate,” as described by Alderman Bob Bauman, won’t subject offenders to citations or fines from the health department....

There are four steps of oxidization in Copper Blocks, including the initial unoxidized state. When first placed, they are simply called Copper Blocks, but after enough time as passed, they become Exposed Copper Blocks. Next, the blocks will change in name and color again to Weathered Copper Blocks, before reaching their final state known as Oxidized Copper Blocks. The Oxidization itself is random and cannot be sped up, but Minecraft players can reverse or stop it....

If redstone in Minecraft feels like a foreign language, no need to worry. Just replicating a few basic farms tends to teach the basics to a player. Redstone is worth getting into because of how much things can be automated and simplified. Less time tending to crops will be more time spent building or exploring. Without further ado, here are some redstone contraptions that are insanely useful. Updated on January 29, 2023, by Ben Painter: Minecraft players have turned to redstone contraptions to help bring the game to life....

As it turns out, Minecraft players all require the use of two Joy-Cons or the Switch Pro Controller. Unfortunately, this means that those who were looking for one-handed local multiplayer fun might need to think about getting some more controllers in. Aside from this, however, it seems as though the game’s local co-op more than holds its own. Even when in three- or four-person split screen, the game’s frame rate still stays steady, which is no doubt good reading for those planning to pick up Minecraft with a view to enjoying some local multiplayer action....

Mile Jedinak’s fine glancing header from Jack Grealish’s corner in the 15th minute put Steve Bruce’s men in the box seat for a trip to Wembley. Villa had been considered favourites to advance from the tie after finishing seven points above Middlesbrough in the table and they cleared the first hurdle with a clean sheet intact. Captained by John Terry, who lined up alongside James Chester in the heart of defence, the value of the visitors’ experience showed as they restricted the hosts to few real chances and just two shots on target....

Okay, that should have distracted all of the big-time Halo fans long enough for me get this Midnight Rant up without being bombarded by angry emails and text messages. Here’s the truth, Ranters: Halo: Reach is as shallow as a kiddy pool. Reach is a KFC Double Down chicken and bacon sandwich. You know, that sandwich that’s great for lunch one time, but the next day all you want is a meal instead of a stigma?...

In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, the former Bears coach showed sympathy for everything that has taken place in Ferguson, but doesn’t understand what the players’ gesture accomplished. MORE: Stephen Colbert comments on Rams’ gesture | Rams’ exec apologizes | Police not happy Ditka’s response is not uncommon. Not everyone has agreed with the players’ decision to make the gesture. But then Ditka reverted to a very tired, very old argument — one that doesn’t help his cause....

After an impressive first quarter, Glennon's flashes dimmed. He was only able to lead the Bucs to a pedestrian 10 points in the team's 13-10 loss. While Schiano still appears upbeat about his hand-picked rookie quarterback, Glennon will need to build off his first career loss if he hopes to be the franchise's quarterback of the future.

The ex-Trump administration official told Fox News that there were “folks all over the [intelligence] community” who didn’t want to talk about the possibility that COVID originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. He also alleged that his team faced bureaucratic hurdles as they attempted to declassify intelligence on the Wuhan lab and share it with the American public during the final year of the Trump administration....

Shanahan, who last coached the Redskins in 2013, met with the Raiders brass on Monday, according to NBC Washington. That was after interviewing with officials from the Bills over the weekend.

Of course, this was a strategic clip; it was just five seconds long, Tyson is 53, and no one, not even George Foreman, can completely defy age. Plus, Tyson was promoting the “Bad Boys for Life” movie that’s now available on Blu-Ray. Then again, Iron Mike says he wants to get back into the ring to fight for charity, and, well, his hands looked kind of fast . . ....

Instead, special teams coordinator Mike Priefer will take over head coaching duties. “We have the utmost confidence in Mike Priefer that he will be able to handle the interim responsibilities,” general manager Rick Spielman said in a statement. “We are taking it one day at a time. We want to get through tonight’s game and then tomorrow we will reassess where we’re at.” Zimmer had “emergency eye surgery” Wednesday night, although no further details were provided by the team....

Deep Rock Galactic reached three million sales in November, pushed by an open, transparent development that avoided going for a big “splash;” as when other developers work silently until a release window is devised. This natural growth fosted many devoted fans who have sunk hundreds of hours into collecting every weapon upgrade, cosmetic, and beer flavor for their team to drink before heading into the dangerous caverns of Hoxxes 4....

Mikko Rantanen is set to make his return to the team’s lineup against the Chicago Blackhawks after missing 16 games with a lower-body injury, according to The Athletic’s Ryan S. Clark. Rantanen suffered the injury Oct. 21 against the St. Louis Blues when his skate appeared to get caught on the ice, forcing his left ankle to twist awkwardly. Avalanche coach Jared Bednar had predicted Rantanen’s return would come Saturday after Thursday’s practice....

More than 2,700 military chaplains minister to U.S. servicemen and cadets on bases around the world. Like that between psychologists and their patients, the dynamic between chaplains and the men and women they counsel tends to be marked by an imbalance of power. Chaplains often outrank the people who go to them for help and exert a spiritual authority that, as in Lee’s case, can be exploited. During 11 years in the military, Lee sexually abused at least three men, according to his own admission (all three were identified in court only by their ranks and an initial)....

The two Navy dolphins, who had cameras attached to their sides, were the first to be observed hunting and capturing prey in a natural environment using both sound and video. This footage allowed scientists to compare the sounds made by the dolphins to the behaviors they were exhibiting. According to a study published in the journal PLOS One, dolphins that were searching for their prey made different sounds when they approached and when they captured their soon-to-become meal....

The two-time NBA champion is being a bit humble. When he smoothly swishes 3-pointer after 3-pointer in training camp, the Grizzlies see more than just the outside threat they've lacked for so many years. Memphis believes they've acquired a veteran who can help them take that big step past the Western Conference finals. "Mike Miller's going to be a huge addition being able to stretch the floor but also brings that championship experience," Grizzlies guard Mike Conley said of his new teammate....
