Rupert Murdoch loses legal battle to wrestle control of his media empireORCHARD PARK — Matt Milano has lived in uncertainty for over a year. The structure and camaraderie of football was taken away and replaced by grueling rehabilitation. Just as Milano thought he was finished with months of work to return to the field, it was whisked away again during a drill performed countless times in practice throughout his football career. Back into the abyss he went. Unlike the leg fracture he suffered in Week 5 last season, the Buffalo Bills maintained their All-Pro linebacker would return at some point this season. His 21-day window to return from injured reserve following a torn biceps on Aug. 15 opened just before the Bills played with the Kansas City Chiefs and now it appears Milano is primed for a return as early as against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday. The Bills have not announced whether Milano will play against the 49ers and they have some time. Milano does not have to be added to the active roster until after Sunday’s game, and even if they bring him back to avoid losing him for the rest of the season, he still doesn’t have to play right away, like cornerback Tre’Davious White, who was activated on Nov. 1, 2022, but didn’t play for another three weeks. But for the first time since training camp, Milano was a full participant in practice Wednesday. He also shed the red non-contact jersey sported during his first week back with the team. “It feels good just to be out there with the guys, man,” Milano said. “Be competing again and playing ball.” The #Bills need to keep the pedal down coming out of the bye and @billhoppe.bsky.social and I discuss why. We also weigh Josh Allen's MVP odds and the #Sabres finally stringing together wins. fireside.fm/episode/sMvb... [image or embed] Whenever Milano does return to the lineup, it’s fair to wonder how much a 30-year-old who hasn’t played a game in almost 14 months can contribute immediately. Milano did not participate heavily in OTAs, and when he returned to training camp, the Bills did not rush his recovery from the leg fracture . The leg fracture, 14 months removed, may still be the bigger concern for Milano than his repaired biceps. It is unknown how severe it was, as the Bills played coy on the injury for a while and didn’t acknowledge Milano wasn’t likely to return until more than a month after surgery. A severe fracture can take 3 to 6 months for the average person to recover, while a broken femur can take up to a year, according to the Cleveland Clinic. A completely torn biceps, though, can take 3 to 6 months. Upon returning, Milano is likely to wear a shoulder harness that prevents overextension of his elbow and shoulder. But the risk of tearing it again is minimal. A tibial plateau fracture is more severe because it’s near the top of the tibia, close to the knee, and is one of the main weight-bearing bones in the leg. It’s the area that takes a chunk of the pressure for a football player who is running, jumping and cutting. With the area of the fracture, doctors had to factor in the patellar tendon, which attaches in the front and pulls on the tibia. And there are ligaments and hamstrings that are also attached. “It’s just a slow recovery process because it’s such a bigger bone in the area when it comes to asking the body to do what it needs to do in there,” said Kyle Trimble, a physical therapist for Kaleida Health. “... It's just a slow recovery, given all the stuff that the lower extremities have to do, carrying the whole body weight and jumping and running around like it does there.” Matt Milano was NOT wearing a red non-contact jersey today. You can see a brace on Spencer Brown's right ankle. Keon Coleman did not have a brace on his wrist, but Amari Cooper still appears to be in a cast. DeWayne Carter has a wrap/brace on his right wrist. #Bills pic.twitter.com/fSIdkx40p3 Bills coach Sean McDermott also said Wednesday that Milano would be on a pitch count during the early stages of his return to get reacclimated to playing again. The Bills acknowledged Milano wasn’t quite himself yet during training camp and now almost four months have been added to his absence. Milano will also have to adjust his reactionary time. His mind might know what to do, but initially, it could take time for his body to respond to instantaneous decision-making like he’s accustomed to on the field. And it’s also been over a year since Milano has given or taken a hit. With minimal contact during practices, even when players are healthy, there is no substitute for the body’s response to violent collisions. Should Milano try to jump in too quickly, he’s also at risk for soft-tissue injuries that come when the body isn’t used to performing the tasks it’s asked to complete. Milano missed three games in 2018 with a broken fibula, a game apiece for a hamstring in 2019, 2020 and 2021, five games for a pectoral injury in 2020 an abdomen injury cost him a game in 2022. “You’re worried about soft-tissue injuries such as hamstring, calf — you start getting fatigued too quickly and then you start compensating elsewhere because your legs get tired,” said Trimble, who operates Banged Up Bills accounts on Bluesky and X. “You’re just trying to react off of whatever instinct you have and maybe you make a sudden move and suddenly you hurt an oblique. He’s had all these injuries before, so they have to be mindful they don’t cause other injuries by trying to get him out there too quickly.” What happens to Dorian Williams? Milano’s return also means a decision must be made with Dorian Williams’ playing time. Williams has started all 12 games in Milano’s absence this year and the second-year linebacker ranks 13th in the NFL with 97 tackles. It’s plausible Williams plays weakside linebacker on early downs and Milano comes in for third downs or obvious passing downs. Milano thrives more in space than taking on blockers against the run, while Williams has struggled in pass coverage at times. Since Milano was injured last season, the Bills have played dime (six defensive backs) on 59% of their third downs. Having a second linebacker in the game who can cover gives the Bills more flexibility, especially on third and medium downs. “I'm here to play whatever role they want me to play, do whatever I need to do,” Williams told the Gazette Wednesday. “I love Matt. I love to see him out there and balling and doing his thing, too. So, I'm just out here trying to help us win. We're all trying to help the team go on and on and I think that's the beautiful thing about the team.” NOTES: TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice Wednesday. ... OT Spencer Brown (ankle) and WR Keon Coleman (wrist) were limited. ... The Bills opened the 21-day windows for DT DeWayne Carter (wrist) and OT Tylan Grable (groin) to return from injured reserve. ... QB Josh Allen (left hand) did not appear on the injury report for the first time since Week 2.

KUWAIT: Kuwait Times recently visited Al-Hayat Universal Bilingual School to introduce students in grades six to eight to the world of journalism. The visit, organized by the school’s English department, is in line with the newspaper’s ongoing efforts to promote media literacy and give back to the community. During the visit, Nebal Snan, a journalist from Kuwait Times, shared valuable insights into the role of journalists, explaining how they help document significant events and shape the way future generations view the world. The students were engaged by real-life examples from the Kuwait Times archive, including stories about UFO sightings in Kuwait, highlighting the diverse topics journalists cover and the influence of media on public perception. The session also stressed the importance of critical thinking in both consuming and creating news. The students were encouraged to question the news they encounter and think about how the media shapes their views. They were also introduced to the growing role of technology in journalism. Students listened to how smartphones and social media are allowing ordinary people to become “citizen journalists,” sharing news from areas where professional reporters may be unable to reach, including war zones such as Gaza. Through this initiative, Kuwait Times is helping to raise awareness about the power and responsibility of journalism, ensuring that students understand the importance of media literacy and journalistic integrity in today’s digital age.

Prior to co-founding TGM, Steve worked at Smith Barney Real Estate and its successor company, Security Capital, where he first met Thomas Gochberg . Steve also worked for Integrated Resources, where he headed Integrated's national portfolio of 32,000 apartments. Steve was responsible for overseeing Smith Barney's nationwide property management operations and is recognized by some as one of the principal creators of the national property management business. Prior to his tenure at Smith Barney, real estate investment was predominantly a local and regional business, and Steve was responsible for creating an organization that was national in scope and capable of efficiently managing a portfolio stretching from coast to coast. He replicated this process twice more while at Integrated Resources and TGM. Steve was profiled in Bloomberg Businessweek's Executive Profile Directory for multiple years. He was also awarded the Institute of Real Estate Management's Certified Property Manager designation and was instrumental in TGM's designation as an Accredited Management Organization by that same institution.

Steve was also an active member of St. Ignatius Loyola's congregation on the Upper East Side of Manhattan . Steve also enjoyed traveling with his Jesuit friends, including attending several silent retreats and several trips to Israel . Steve and his wife Emi had a plethora of shared interests that included volunteering, cooking, and good food (Steve was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals for all), and was an adventurous traveler. Steve had an amazing rolodex of excellent restaurants from all the places he visited and usually a good story or two from the times he frequented them. Steve dedicated significant time to mentoring young minds in search of wisdom. He once published his feelings on how to lead a "successful life" which reflected those tenets that resonated deeply with him and were evident to any person that he came in contact with. In short, Steve stated that if you wanted to change the world: Steve is survived by his wife Emi; children Christopher, Tiffany, Alexa, and Akane; grandchildren Todd Jr., Tess, Tanner and Tom; his sister Karen; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
