A raft of additional security measures had been put in place on New Year’s Eve to protect crowds, including concrete bollards and armed police patrols, amid concerns that London could be susceptible to a terror attack.</div>

Work to keep London safe has not ended – with police working through the night to get the streets back to normal in time for the New Year’s Day parade later.</div>

The pyrotechnic extravaganza boasted 12,000 fireworks which produced 50,000 projectiles – all fired from the London Eye as well as three barges and 14 pontoons on the Thames.</div>

Before the display began, London Mayor Sadiq Khan had told Sky News: “Our police and security services do an amazing job learning the lessons from some horrific incidents in other cities around the world – Berlin recently, Nice earlier this year, Paris last year.</div>

Even though London’s display came hours before New York and Washington waved goodbye to 2016, Mr Khan said the fireworks would be better than “any city in the world”.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YwwcXoi8-Bc" style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="640"></iframe></div>

Professor Edward Tsang, director of the Centre for Computational Finance and Economic Agents at the University of Essex, said that algorithms should at least be “test-driven” by regulators to prevent “trillions” of pounds being lost and the global economy being wiped out.</div>

At their most basic, algorithms are a set of rules that computers follow to make decisions. But they can be extremely complex and opaque, even to their creators.</div>

Automated financial trading algorithms have led to rapid falls in stock markets – most notably in 2010 when a trillion dollars was wiped off indexes – and in the value of sterling following the EU referendum when the pound fell by 6% in a matter of minutes.</div>

The algorithm was able to search potential combinations across the whole of the UK and come up with a complicated kidney swapping scheme involving several people.</div>

This kidney-swapping algorithm is transparency. It’s a model that those lobbying for algorithmic accountability hope will be adopted elsewhere.</div>

is well-versed in how quickly he can dissect a defense after his four-touchdown first half guided Green Bay to a 34-27 win earlier this season.</div>

For the Lions to capture their first division title since 1993, generating pressure will be paramount. Detroit ranks just 29th in the NFL with 25 sacks. Rodgers’ ability to evade the rush can be lethal for opposing defenses, but he’s still recovering from left hamstring and right calf injuries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Denying big plays is a priority for coordinator Teryl Austin’s bend-but-don’t-break defense. Though Rodgers is an opportunist with big plays, he’s also patient enough to slice a defense with small plays. At some point, the defense will need a breakthrough or two in the form of a big play or key stand.</div>

Cornerback Darius Slay could have a key role in his potential return from a hamstring injury. Detroit might lean on him to slow Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who had 101 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting between the teams this season.</div>

Here are four other matchups that could define Week 17 in the NFL:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi vs. Patriots’ front seven</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ajayi might not have a full day of work against New England given that he is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury. The breakout running back, however, represents Miami’s best chance at moving up to the first wild-card slot and denying New England home-field advantage.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ajayi quelled concerns about his late-season play last week by rushing for 206 yards against the Buffalo Bills, breaking the 200-yard barrier for the third time this season. With Matt Moore in for the injured Ryan Tannehill at quarterback, the second-year back likely becomes the focal point of the offense for the foreseeable future. New England hasn’t given up a touchdown in two games and has allowed a league-low six rushing scores this season.</div>
<div class="story-asset oembed-asset" id="module-position-PneOFvJ-KBQ" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Arguably the most heated wide receiver-cornerback matchup in the NFL might lack its usual fanfare heading into Week 17. But in order to position themselves for the final NFC wild-card berth, the Redskins still must handle an offense propped by Beckham.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Both stars shrugged off questions about their history this week, suggesting that the charged confrontations that ignited the rivalry would be left in the past. Beckham had seven catches for 121 yards in a game that became known for his outburst against a kicking net. With the Giants settled into the No. 5 seed and Beckham finding his comfort zone, Sunday could make for a more reserved showdown.</div>

With Derek Carr sidelined by a broken fibula, McGloin now has the keys to Oakland’s first playoff season since 2002. His performance could be the key decider in the Raiders’ playoff seeding – as well as a harbinger of how the team will fare after the loss of its leader.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
McGloin hasn’t started a game since his rookie season in 2013, but Oakland invested in him this offseason for situations such as this. Facing the top-ranked passing defense with the AFC West title – and possible home-field advantage – potentially on the line, Raiders coach Jack Del Rio isn’t likely to task the former Penn State walk-on with the same role as Carr on Sunday. But McGloin will need to get up to speed for the playoffs, and how the offense fares against the Broncos could reveal how the offense is faring after this major shift.</div>

San Diego has struggled to close out games (1-7 in contests decided by seven points or less) but has been resilient despite having 19 players on injured reserve.

WATFORD, England (AP) — Harry Kane and Dele Alli both scored twice Sunday, sending Tottenham into the English Premier League’s top four with a 4-1 victory over Watford.</div>

“It was a solid performance from the start,” Alli said, after making it 18 goals from 51 Premier League matches. “Watford started the game really quick and made it difficult for us but, after we got the first goal, it was a pretty comfortable win in the end.”</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Watford, which was hamstrung by injuries, contributed to its own downfall with poor defending. Watford, which dropped to 13th, has kept only three clean sheets in its last 24 league games.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Watford hassled Arsenal but looked exhausted after half an hour, with Spurs finally making their pressure pay in the form of three goals in 14 minutes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Moments after Alli had rattled the crossbar with a fizzing shot from 25 yards (meters), Kieran Trippier promptly slid Kane in behind a dozing Jose Holebas . Kane lifted the ball over former Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes at the near post in the 27th.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tottenham doubled its advantage six minutes later with the same trio combining again. Alli looped a pass out wide to Trippier, who whipped a half-volleyed cross to the back post where Kane beat Craig Cathcart to side-foot home.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Son Heung-min, unmarked at the near post, should then have steered in Christian Eriksen’s free kick but Alli did find the net four minutes before the interval. Kaboul scuffed a clearance into the unsuspecting Cathcart, who was then outmuscled by Alli and the midfielder sent the ball into the bottom right-hand corner.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The halftime whistle was greeted by boos from Watford supporters and Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris appeared almost apologetic as he hung an arm around fellow Frenchman and former teammate Etienne Capoue.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The home fans’ discontent, however, had little impact. A minute after the restart, Spurs hit their fourth. Sebastian Prodl gifted the ball to Kane, who crossed to the back post where Alli had time to control and slide under Gomes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The only consolation for Watford was Younes Kaboul bundling the ball in from close range in stoppage time.</div>

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — As with any sequel, Alabama-Clemson II will have some new characters and fresh plot lines.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The top-ranked Crimson Tide and No. 3 Tigers will meet in Tampa, Florida, on Jan. 9 in the College Football Playoff national championship game. Last year they played a wild 45-40 game won by ‘Bama. It gave Nick Saban a fourth national title with the Tide and fifth overall.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The rematch is a chance for Saban and Alabama to add to an already unprecedented run of four national championships in seven years. For Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, it is another opportunity to beat his beloved alma mater and snap a title drought for the Tigers that stretches back more than three decades.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Deshaun Watson is back. The Clemson quarterback was so good last season against the Tide that Saban was comparing him to Cam Newton.</div>
<div class="teads-inread" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
O.J. Howard returns for Alabama, the tight end who had a career game in last year’s final. Both teams once again feature fearsome defensive lines, even though some of the stars have changed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But there’s plenty new this time around:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
HURTS SO GOOD</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Alabama’s Jalen Hurts is a victory away from becoming the first true freshman quarterback to lead a team to a national championship since Jamelle Holieway did it with Oklahoma in 1985 . Last season Jake Coker was the Tide’s quarterback, a more conventional drop-back passer who threw for 335 yards on 16 completions, including five for 208 to Howard.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With Hurts, the Tide has become far more reliant the quarterback running game. Hurts is still a work in progress in the passing game. He went 7 for 14 for 57 yards in Alabama’s 24-7 victory against Washington in the Peach Bowl on Saturday . He did run 19 times for 50 yards and on the season he is up to 891 yards and 12 touchdowns.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hurts is a more talented player than Coker, but if Alabama needs to trade scores with Clemson again, can the 18-year-old make the plays in the passing game that Coker did last year? Then again, Hurts’ mobility will come in handy against a Clemson pass rush that ranks right up there with Alabama’s.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
TOP TARGET</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Welcome to the national title game, Mike Williams.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Clemson’s top wide-receiver is 6-foot-3, 225 pounds and a few months away from becoming an NFL millionaire. He missed just about all of last season while recovering from a neck injury and returned this year to become Watson’s favorite target.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Alabama has NFL-caliber talent everywhere, of course, but Williams is a matchup nightmare even for good corners such as Marlon Humphrey and Anthony Averett. Williams had six catches for 96 yards against Ohio State in a 31-0 victory Saturday night . He has 90 receptions for 1,267 yards and 10 touchdowns on the season.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Tigers will also add Deon Cain to its receiving corps this time around. As a freshman last year, he was suspended for the championship game. He has been a big-play guy for Watson with nine touchdowns and a 19.4-yard average on 32 catches.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
MEN IN THE MIDDLE</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The newest defensive line terror for Clemson is also the biggest. Freshman Dexter Lawrence checks in at 6-5 and 340 pounds and he has played like an All-American this season. He did not record a tackle against Ohio State but the Buckeyes seemed to shy away from even running in the middle of Clemson’s defense because of Lawrence and second-team All-America Carlos Watkins.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At least partially responsible for moving Lawrence will be 319-pound center Bradley Bozeman, who stepped in for first-round pick Ryan Kelly this season to lead Alabama’s offensive line.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Tide has not lost much at center with Bozeman, but Clemson’s line and Lawrence in particular, will be his toughest test.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
BO-DOZER</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
That huge tailback wearing a single-digit jersey number for Alabama probably reminds you of Derrick Henry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Heisman Trophy winner who ran for 158 yards and three touchdowns on 36 carries against Clemson last season is gone, but Bo Scarbrough, listed at 6-foot-2 and a questionable 228 pounds, does a pretty good Henry impersonation .</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Tide unleashed Scarbrough on Washington for 19 carries and 180 yards. Technically, he is Alabama’s third option in the backfield. Damien Harris leads the team with 1,013 yards rushing and a 7.2 average per carry and freshman Josh Jacobs has 551 yards and 6.6 average. None of them carried the ball last season against Clemson.</div>

DENVER (AP) — There’s growing speculation that Broncos coach Gary Kubiak will step down after the season because of health concerns just 11 months after leading Denver to a triumphant Super Bowl 50.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Broncos (8-7) close their disappointing season Sunday at home against Oakland (12-3).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Several coaches and players told The Associated Press over the last week that Kubiak hasn’t informed them of any retirement plans.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Broncos didn’t immediately return messages Sunday morning in regards to rampant speculation over Kubiak’s future.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Kubiak, who has two years left on his contract, was evasive when asked Friday about his health and coaching future.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Why, do I look bad?” Kubiak said, smiling. “There will be time for reflection and all of that stuff next week, but right now it’s time to focus on what we’re doing.”</div>
<div class="teads-inread" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The 55-year-old Kubiak suffered a complex migraine on Oct. 9 following Denver’s loss to Atlanta. He also suffered a mini-stroke at halftime of a game against Indianapolis in 2013 when he was coaching the Texans.</div>

The city said seven vessels with four dive teams will be part of the search.

On Sunday, police confirmed a bag from the plane washed ashore in Bratenahl, Ohio. The bag contained the identification card and other items of John T. Fleming, the pilot. The city says it has received multiple reports of debris washing ashore east of Burke Lakefront Airport, where the plane took off. Some of that debris has been collected but not verified as being from the missing Cessna 525 Citation plane.</div>

Fleming, his wife, their two sons and two neighbors were on board the plane after visiting Cleveland to attend the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game Thursday. They were traveling to the airport at Ohio State University in Columbus. Fleming, a Dublin, Ohio, resident, is the CEO of Superior Beverage Group, a Columbus beverage distribution company. Their plane dropped from radar about 2 miles north of shore, over Lake Erie.</div>

The Coast Guard began searching the air after being notified soon after the plane’s disappearance Thursday. High waves and blustery conditions prevented smaller Coast Guard boats from the Cleveland area from deploying Thursday night. A 140-foot Coast Guard cutter joined a search that covered 128 square miles of the lake on Friday.</div>

That’s the punchline for yet another knockout blow to the Detroit Lions, who fumbled away a would-be NFC North crown because they couldn’t win a game over the final three weeks.</div>

Rodgers, on the other hand, had the audacity to declare while in the midst of a four-game losing streak, that his Green Bay Packers could run the table. Now they are the division champs with a six-game winning streak.</div>

“He’s psychic,” Packers receiver Davante Adams told USA TODAY Sports after the 31-24 victory on Sunday night at Ford Field. “Two years ago, he told everybody to relax and we went 11-2 from that point. I think we ought to just start listening to what Aaron’s got to say and we’ll be alright.”</div>

“Taking nothing away from him, but really it was a low-risk prediction,” Packers linebacker Julius Peppers told USA TODAY Sports. “If you lose a game, it’s like, ‘Oh, we knew you would lose.’ If you run the table, you look like a prophet.</div>

It was always about the team collecting itself to rally from the doldrums of 4-6, and in recent weeks the Packers have been tearing it up on both sides of the football while dealing with all sorts of adversity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On Sunday night, fullback Aaron Ripkowski was the featured runner in the ongoing series of how to deal with the rash of backfield injuries. And with receiver Randall Cobb out again, rookie Geronimo Allison stepped up with four catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. Injuries forced Micah Hyde, a safety, to move over to cornerback. And it was Hyde’s fourth-quarter end zone interception that increased the Packers’ turnover ratio over the past four games to +13. Team ball, indeed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yet the night belonged to Rodgers, as it should have.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sure, go ahead and call your shot. But in raising the stakes for the team, you’d better be damn sure that you’re holding up your end.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There was no sweat from Rodgers in that department. He had a phenomenal game. Again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The stat line says 27-for-39 for 300 yards, with four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 126.0 passer rating.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But the numbers don’t do justice. He was better than that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On a 10-yard scoring strike to Allison early in the fourth quarter, the clock on an NBC graphic showed that Rodgers held the ball for 8.78 seconds before releasing it. It was classic scramble-drill stuff that is a signature Rodgers trait, and that Allison has proven to be a quick study in grasping. While Allison worked to separate himself in the back of the end zone, Rodgers slipped, spun, pumped while simultaneously avoiding a sack and setting up to throw.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reminded that he held the ball for nearly nine seconds as he headed to the buses, Rodgers beamed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“That sounds about right,” he told USA TODAY Sports.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It was all in a night’s work. On his two touchdown throws to Adams, he called audibles, switching from a run on the first case and changing the route to a fade on the latter case. Another time, he called for a quick snap to catch the Lions with 12 men on the field for an easy penalty, turning third-and-long into third-and-manageable. Six plays later, they were in the end zone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He had a complete game, winning with his arm, brain and legs. He ran for 42 yards, including 12- and 13-yard scrambles that marked the initial first downs on back-to-back touchdown drives in the fourth quarter.</div>

This is what wins division titles. Whenever they needed a crucial play, somebody came through for the Packers — and on many occasions that somebody was Rodgers, a two-time NFL MVP headed to the playoffs for an eighth consecutive season.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Rodgers — who has gone seven games in a row without interception, while throwing 18 touchdowns during that span — didn’t need to remind anybody about his declaration on Sunday night. He just led by example.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Still, his words from late November — “I feel like we can run the table,” he said — are woven into the fabric of whatever this season winds up being for the Packers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“That’s what you have to do sometimes as a leader,” Rodgers reflected. “You have to exude confidence even in a situation where it seems to the outside world that confidence shouldn’t exist and that’s kind of what I did. I believe in myself and my abilities, but I also believe in this team. This wasn’t just a shot in the dark. It was an optimistic belief in my team that we’re going to start handling adversity better.”</div>

This soapy murder mystery, based on Liane Moriarty’s 2014 bestseller, is a high-end, dramatic <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Desperate Housewives</em>, and a departure for HBO. The limited series stars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern as intense mothers of first-graders in Monterey, Calif. (subbing for Australia in the book), who don’t get along so well. (And their husbands, neither). Shailene Woodley plays the new mom in town, protecting her ostracized son, and Zoë Kravitz is the yoga-teaching second wife to queen-bee Reese’s ex.</div>

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Absent a change of mind by the judge overseeing the trial of Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof, a story only half-told is expected to unfold before jurors as they <a href="http://avlne.ws/2hHabK2" style="border: 0px; color: #e64946; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">weigh a sentence of life in prison against execution.</a></div>

On one side, prosecutors have deftly combined compelling witness testimony with an avalanche of evidence to present a heartrending account of the shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and Roof’s planning that led to the deaths of nine black congregants.</div>

Roof’s lead capital defender, David Bruck, now relegated to the advisory role of standby counsel, believes Roof suffers from an undisclosed mental defect, according to courtroom documents and statements. Roof, in assuming his own defense and decision-making powers, is expected to block jurors from hearing any such evidence.<br />.<br />“This defendant’s announcement [on Wednesday] that he will not defend himself against the death penalty — following a government presentation that is expected to involve more than 38 additional witnesses and hundreds more exhibits — raises in especially stark fashion the question of whether the defendant is actually unable to defend himself,” Bruck wrote in a motion regarding the Monday hearing.</div>

That frustration is familiar to Kris Poppe, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who in 2013 served as standby counsel for the Army psychiatrist convicted in the shooting deaths of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas.</div>

As Roof plans to do, Maj. Nidal Hasan served as his own attorney and offered no mitigating evidence that might persuade a jury to vote for a life sentence rather than death. His attorneys told the court they believed Hasan was working in concert with prosecutors as they sought the death penalty.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

“If the prosecution is presenting a case and that’s the only one that’s being presented, there’s only a case for death and there’s no case for life being presented,” said Poppe, now a civilian attorney in Fayetteville, North Carolina. “I think our society and our Constitution demands that the decision-makers, the fact-finders, the sentencing authority have full facts in front of them to make that decision. I don’t think there’s any more important decision a court can make and if they only get a case for death, there is no constitutional outcome.”</div>

The U.S. Supreme Court has taken a ‘death is different’ stance and in a landmark 1972 case struck down executions, a decision that forced states to revisit their statutes as they sought to reinstate the punishment. Four years later, another ruling by the high court established broad guidelines in death penalty statues, lifting the de facto moratorium on capital punishment.</div>

The justices have also held that criminal defendants deemed competent have a constitutional right to serve as their own attorneys, but just how that aligns with the withholding of evidence from a jury is an unsettled question.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Outside the presence of the jury, Poppe offered mitigating evidence to the court, though the judge ruled the panel would not hear that case. He hopes an appellate court orders a new trial in the Hasan case, one that would allow jurors to hear a defense, but barring that, believes the Supreme Court will have to weigh in eventually.</div>

“To place the right to represent themselves on a pedestal such that that case for life is never presented, I think the Supreme Court is going to have to decide if that fits our constitutional framework,” he said. “The full story of what happened on Nov. 5, 2009, at Fort Hood, Texas has not been told and there has not been an examination of Nidal Hasan and what led to him doing what he did.”</div>

The unknown Roof</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Roof’s planning and attack on Mother Emanuel has been documented in stark detail in the trial’s guilt phase, and the account offered by prosecutors was not disputed by defense attorneys.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But where prosecutors have argued that Roof was driven by racism and hatred toward African Americans, Bruck in opening and closing statements tried to signal to the jury that Roof suffers from an underlying mental condition.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He noted that Roof in a video recorded confession to FBI agents repeatedly said “he had to do it,” an explanation that Bruck characterized as incomplete, irrational and charged with mad energy.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The legendary capital defender hinted that something is fundamentally wrong with Roof’s brain, but could not elaborate on mental health issues, typically addressed in the sentencing phase of a trial.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“You were surely looking for remorse and you didn’t see very much, and I’ll be the first to acknowledge that,” Bruck told jurors of a client who appeared disengaged throughout the proceedings. “But if you have to do something, remorse is not a logical emotion. You don’t feel remorseful for what you think you had to do.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Remorse is generally accepted as a mitigating factor in capital cases, as is an impaired mental capacity, but with Roof leading his own defense, those issues are expected to go unexplored.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While mitigators do not guarantee a lesser sentence for a defendant, jurors weigh those circumstances against aggravators presented by prosecutors as the decide between possible penalties.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The government’s attorneys already have laid before jurors a host of aggravating factors, including the heinousness of the crime, the substantial planning prior to the shooting, as well as the vulnerability of the victims. Among them was Susie Jackson, an 87-year-old grandmother who walked with a cane and an 11-year-old girl who survived the attack.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While Roof’s crimes have been chronicled in detail, much of his personal life remains unknown. A high school dropout with a GED diploma, he appears to have been a loner and was self-radicalized in his anger toward African Americans after reading internet postings.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
His parents, including the mother he lived with in Eastover, S.C., have made no public statements about Roof.</div>

Twice he was confronted by Columbia police after odd encounters at a mall, though the incidents did not lead to criminal convictions.</div>

Chris Spears, manager of the Shoe Department store, told the<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Los Angeles Times</em> that in a February 2015 incident, an employee there described Roof, clad in all-black, as creepy and behaving as though he were on drugs.</div>

“He was asking her all kinds of personal questions, wanting to know work schedules. She was busy working and she felt uncomfortable, so she called security and they came and got him,” Spears told the newspaper.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He was arrested for illegal possession of Suboxone, a drug typically used to treat opiate addiction and two months later he was again detained at the same mall after violating a one-year ban.</div>

In court, his defense team has pointed out small oddities about Roof — that he was arrested wearing sweatpants under jeans on a hot June day, that his car held T-shirts with the bottoms cut off, that in a candid confession to the FBI, he believed the victims numbered five rather than nine — while in opening statements, Bruck urged jurors to disregard Roof’s demeanor.</div>

Should they draw conclusions from a rigid, frozen posture or a smile at an inappropriate moment, they might jump to wrong conclusions, he said.</div>

Roof underwent a similar competency hearing in November, one in which Gergel ruled he could self-represent, but later called Roof’s decision “strategically unwise.”</div>

A mental condition that might have caused a defendant to commit a crime does not preclude him from representing himself, said Jona Goldschmidt, a criminal justice professor whose research includes defendants who act as their own attorneys.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Unless he has some mental illness that would prevent him from presenting his own defense, he is entitled to present whatever defense he wants, or no defense,” said Goldschmidt, of Loyola University in Chicago.</div>

He added though, that because there have been few capital defendants who have self-represented, “we’re fairly early in the game on this whole issue.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“There is a view that jury is entitled to all information at mitigation,” he said. “It may be that this trial judge or other trial judges in similar situations will rule and then it will go to the Supreme Court. They may rule because ‘death is different,’ we’re going to give the jury everything it needs as a matter not only of fair trial, but what could also be cruel and unusual punishment.”</div>

Polly Sheppard testified as the last witness offered by the prosecution in the Dylann Roof trial.

A month ago, Roof’s defense team invoked that amendment in a court filing, arguing that he should not be able to self-represent and waive mitigation in a capital trial. Should jurors sentence Roof to death, the document could serve as a basis for an appeal.</div>

It will also likely be an issue addressed on appeal, said Mark Rabil, director of the Innocence and Justice Clinic at Wake Forest University, who believes Roof suffers from a mental defect.</div>

“It’s wrong for the judge to allow Roof with his obvious mental disabilities to attempt to represent himself in the death penalty phase of a case, which is the most difficult case any lawyer can handle, much less a mentally disabled person. I can’t imagine this will be held up on appeal,” Rabil said. “It’s traumatic on everyone involved in the process, particularly the surviving families. I just think that is a total and complete injustice to allow this to occur.”</div>

His four-mile drive home after work each day takes him down country roads and gravel driveways. It’s part of the adventure, considering where he lives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I wanted to do more than make donuts,” Newman said. “I’ve built me quite a house out here. After all, a man’s home is his castle.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So he decided to build a castle of his own. But how exactly do you go about starting a project like that?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I came out here one afternoon with a lawn chair and … a bottle of champagne also,” Newman said. “I sat in the lawn chair and started looking around, trying to envision things.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The castle sits on a 20-acre piece of land made out of cinder blocks and masonry stucco. It features a working drawbridge that crosses a full moat, a 62-foot tall bell tower, a chapel and a dungeon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“My friends looked at me like I was crazy,” Newman said of the initial construction stages. “I was stubborn and bull-headed.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So much so that instead of hiring out a contractor to work on the site, he and single assistant built the castle by themselves. It took eight years until he could move into the 3,400-square-foot living space and 10 years total to complete.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I have actually looked up at some of these things and say, ‘Did I actually build that?’” Newman said. “It’s very self-rewarding.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
These days, Newman opens up his home for tours to people of all ages. In fact, he’s adding to the property, building additional guest rooms to host larger parties.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And each time he leads a group through the castle, he wears his crown.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“It lets them know who’s king,” Newman said with a smile.</div>

If you would like to tour Newman’s Castle, you can make a reservation by calling Newman’s Bakery in Bellville at (979)-865-9804. On the day of the tour, guests are asked to meet at the bakery at 10:15 a.m. to pay for your ticket, which includes a box lunch to be served on-site. Directions to the castle will be given upon arrival at the bakery.</div>

Everett was Banner Health’s first Arizona baby born in 2017. He arrived at 12:01 a.m. Sunday at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale. His brother Sawyer arrived 11 minutes earlier, at 11:50 p.m., Saturday, hospital officials said, so his birth year will forever read 2016.</div>
