Brainy, 'normal guy': the suspect in US insurance CEO's slayingIsraeli technology allows unconscious patients to communicate by blinking
The countdown for Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Space Docking Experiment onboard a PSLV rocket on Monday, December 30, that would be a key milestone in India’s space programme, commenced on Sunday evening, the space agency said. A cost-effective technology demonstrator mission for in-space docking, it would make India join an elite list featuring China, Russia and the US. ISRO has scheduled the lift-off of the PSLV-C60 rocket, at 10:15 pm from the first launch pad at this spaceport here on December 30 and it would carry SpaDeX with two spacecraft as the primary payloads along with 24 secondary payloads. “PSLV-C60/SpaDeX Mission Launch countdown commenced at 9 pm” on Sunday, an ISRO official told PTI. 🎉 Launch Day is Here! 🚀 Tonight at precisely 10:00:15 PM, PSLV-C60 with SpaDeX and innovative payloads are set for liftoff. SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment) is a pioneering mission to establish India's capability in orbital docking, a key technology for future human... pic.twitter.com/147ywcLP0f The in-space docking technology would be essential for taking up India’s ambitions in space, including sending human to the Moon, bringing samples from there, and also building and operating India’s own space station- Bharatiya Antariksh Station. The docking technology would also be utilised when multiple rocket launches are planned to achieve common mission objectives. ISRO said the two spacecraft in the PSLV rocket — Spacecraft A (SDX01) and Spacecraft B (SDX02) — would be placed in an orbit that would keep them 5 km apart from each other. Later, scientists at ISRO headquarters would try to bring them closer up to 3 metre which would subsequently lead them for merging together at an altitude of about 470km above Earth. The process is expected to take place about 10-14 days after the scheduled lift-off on Monday, ISRO officials said. 🌟 PSLV-C60/SPADEX Mission Update 🌟 Visualize SpaDeX in Action! 🎞️ Animation Alert: Experience the marvel of in-space docking with this animation! 🌐 Click here for more information: https://t.co/jQEnGi3ocF pic.twitter.com/djVUkqXWYS In the SpaDeX mission, Spacecraft A carries a High-Resolution Camera, while Spacecraft B has Miniature Multispectral Payload and a Radiation Monitor Payload. These payloads would provide high-resolution images, natural resource monitoring, vegetation studies, among others. Apart from this significant mission, scientists would also conduct the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module-4 (POEM-4) in which 24 payloads — 14 from ISRO and 10 from industry and academia — would be placed in the desired orbits one after the other over a 90-minute period after the lift-off. The life of the payloads in the fourth stage would be about three to four months. The vehicle for the PSLV-C60 mission used here would be the 18th Core-Alone variant. This would be ISRO’s last mission in 2024 and the PSLV-C60 is the first vehicle to be integrated up to the fourth stage at the PSLV Integration Facility that has been established here.The experimental 12-team College Football Playoff has everyone talking different scenarios. Fans of the sport are wondering how the CFP Committee go about getting the right 12 teams in to create matchups for the masses to enjoy. People are concerned about if a 3-loss team can get in, if a team that loses its conference championship game can get in, and which conference gets the most teams in. Alabama football is No. 7 in the latest edition of CFP rankings. If it beats Oklahoma and Auburn, it’s heading to the Southeastern Conference title game A victory in the SEC Championship may get the Crimson Tide a first round bye for the playoff .Some feel that a loss for the Tide in the SEC title game would knock it out of playoff contention; however, a former Alabama head coach feels the CFP Committee is ‘suggestive’ in what it does. Nick Saban won nine SEC Championships and six national championships — including three in the CFP era — during 17 seasons at Alabama. Saban had the Tide in the playoff in eight of 10 years he coached Alabama. Alabama missed out on the dance in 2019 and 2022. He was on the Pat McAfee Show this week as he’s still bothered by the Tide not making the playoff in 2022. Alabama suffered two losses to Tennessee and LSU that year, but TCU made the CFP over Alabama and got demolished by Georgia in the CFP National Championship Game. “It was all subjective,” Saban said. “We would have been 13-point favorites over TCU if we would have played them, and they got into the playoffs and we didn’t. I’m not criticizing TCU — it wasn’t their fault — but that is the subjective part of it.” He also laughed when McAfee brought up the Georgia dominant win over TCU. “I was at that game,” Saban said.

The agent for Jimmy Butler has denied reports that he has given indications in league circles that his client would be open to a trade to the Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors or Phoenix Suns. Agent Bernie Lee responded following Shams Charania's report adding the Suns to the list of Butler's preferred teams with Lee's name mentioned specifically. "Alright listen," Lee said to begin his response. "I gave you a pass yesterday because I was busy but if you don't stop putting my name on your complete and utter made up bull— because you know you normally aren't worth my time to acknowledge." Following his first post on social media on Wednesday night, Lee continued to... Dec

Mason, Kortright, Christian King and KC Ibekwe all scored nine points for Washington. Washington resumes Big Ten Conference play Thursday when Maryland makes a trip to the West Coast.
