Raven Software’s road to unionization has been contentious, with Activision Blizzard putting multiple hurdles in the Game Workers Alliance’s path. Originating as a series of strikes at Activision Blizzard in 2021 in response to numerous Raven QA testers being dismissed from the company, whispers of a potential union eventually led to an official unionization effort in January 2022. Throughout much of the past year, Activision Blizzard has been busy sending out union-busting emails and hiring anti-union lawyers in response to the unionization effort by the group of Raven employees....

Griffin, who re-signed with the Ravens in March, is set for a spell on the sidelines, but just how long remains to be seen. “I was having a great camp and feeling good. I’m really excited about what we’re going to be able to do this year. I’ll let the team let you guys know,” he said, via the team’s website. “I hit it on the helmet of one of the defenders coming to the line....

“That’s not a football decision,” Newsome, the Ravens president, said Friday morning at the team facility on the same day the free-agent Crabtree visited. “That’s a medical decision that I have no control over.” So, he was asked, was it fair for the Ravens to be widely criticized for voiding the contract they’d agreed on with Grant on Wednesday as free agency began, coincidentally after Crabtree was released by the Raiders?...

Both squads look much different than they did when they last met in Week 1. The Steelers promoted Kenny Pickett to starting QB five games into the season after Mitchell Trubisky led them to a 1-3 start. The Ravens, meanwhile, will have Tyler Huntley starting this weekend after MVP candidate Lamar Jackson suffered a PCL sprain in Week 13 against Denver. Huntley played hero late in that game, leading Baltimore on a 16-play, 91-yard drive that culminated in a QB sneak for the game-winning TD....

Kiermaier’s injury occurred as he was laying out for James McCann’s bloop single in the fifth inning. As he landed, Kiermaier rolled over with his left arm pinned underneath. He immediately grimaced in pain on the ground before getting up and running toward the dugout for help from a trainer. Check it out. MORE: Best active MLB players by age Kiermaier’s injury could be brutal to the Rays, who are also without second baseman Logan Forsythe (shoulder blade fracture) for at least the next two weeks....

Opener Rayudu smashed his maiden IPL century, a 100 not out which he made from 62 balls with the help of seven fours and seven sixes as CSK chased down the target of 180 with one over to spare. “Even before IPL started I had to make space for Rayudu, because he is somebody I rate him very highly. He can play both the fast bowlers and spinners very well....

Still, sometimes these kinds of ventures pan out, especially in Red Dead Redemption 2, where people find gold nuggets and regularly win horse races.

Each Pokémon blind box costs 990 yen, which comes out to about $9.29 USD. At the moment, the boxes are expected to hit stores across Japan, but there hasn’t been any word about a worldwide release. It’s not clear how long these figurines will be around for, but they could well become very valuable after their run is over, and avid collectors wouldn’t want to miss them anyway.

Many of these pioneers scattered among some of the more than thousand Dalmatian islands in splendid isolation. Others became the nuclei of what are still very small expatriate communities. Frances Best, a German freelancer who previously worked for a television network out of Cologne, was a relative latecomer to the island of Korcula, the reputed birthplace of Marco Polo. Some 20 American families and even more U.N. and European ones had preceded her to the island when she bid on her home in 1998....

Bill Belichick and Andy Reid are at the top of our NFL postseason coach rankings, of course, and it’s hard to argue with 36 playoff appearances and eight Super Bowl victories. Belichick is a default setting at the top, but the rest of the list has some interesting debates. Should Green Bay’s Matt LaFleur be ranked ahead of Los Angeles’ Sean McVay? Try the same question with Buffalo’s Sean McDermott and Tennessee’s Mike Vrabel....

Kawhi Leonard is headed to the Raptors. San Antonio and Toronto finalized a deal early Wednesday morning that will send Leonard and Danny Green up north in exchange for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 first-round pick. The pick is protected for selections 1-20 and will translate to a pair of second-rounders if it doesn’t convey. This deal has the potential to be the home run that finally gets the Raptors over the hump in the Eastern Conference and comes with a relatively small downside for franchise....

The deep water shark was found during a survey of the Chatham Rise, an area of ocean floor between New Zealand’s South and Chatham islands. Scientists at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research carry out an ocean floor survey every two years to estimate fish populations. The data is then used to determine catch quotas for fisheries that operate around South Island. Ghost sharks, also known as chimaeras, are distant relatives of sharks and rays that branched off from sharks 400 million years ago....

The announcement of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is obviously great news for PlayStation fans considering that Ratchet & Clank (2016) was one of PS4’s most underrated gems. Having said that, with the reveal coming alongside the return of two PlayStation icons in the form of Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Astro’s PlayRoom, could the new game be a sign of something even greater? If Sony is doubling down on mascots, then Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart could be good news for other PlayStation icons to make their return....

• Look at traditional inflation fighters. Gold and real estate have had big run-ups. So commodities like food, timber and nonprecious metals might be safer, if bought within inexpensive exchange-traded funds like iShares GSCI Commodity Indexed Trust ETF (GSG) or iPath Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Total Return ETN (DJP). Morningstar likes BlackRock Global Resources Fund (SSGRX). • Don’t go overboard. It’s good to keep about 5 percent of your investment portfolio reserved for anti-inflation investments, says Bohemia, N....

Yet, one couple thought it was a good idea to do so. The result? The most tasteless Ray Rice and Janay Rice costume combination you’ll see this Halloween. Their son, who shared the offensive photo, later thought it was a horrible idea, as his Instagram account has since been deleted. The black eye makeup on the wife going as Janay was bad enough. But adding in the racist element? That’s an all-out loser....
