Now Mr. Big’s ambitions are bigger than ever. Since the breakup, Ambani, 49, has finalized plans to invest more than $11 billion over the next decade to build two new satellite cities outside creaking, overcrowded Mumbai and Delhi. He foresees these metropolises emerging within just four years, each with a population of 5 million people making $5,000 a year on average (seven times Indias norm), and hosting top multinational companies....

Adolescents ages 12-15 have entered the pool of people eligible for COVID-19 vaccination in the United States. Following federal authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for people under the age of 16, states began vaccinating this younger age group on Thursday, May 13. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not yet started reporting vaccination data specifically for this age group, we can already tell it’s making a difference....

This is partly because the Omicron variant—which the CDC said accounted for 95 percent of new U.S. cases last week—has shown to be more contagious, but less severe than prior strains. While over the past two weeks COVID-19 cases have reached a record-breaking daily average of 480,000, hospitalization numbers were not as dramatic. The current national average of 14,800 hospitalizations per day is 63 percent higher than last week, but it still falls much lower than last year’s record of 16,500....

With 38 percent of their residents fully vaccinated, compared with the national rate of 49 percent, Louisiana and Georgia are among the states with the lowest inoculation rates. While Florida’s vaccination campaign is closer to the national standard, most states in New England have fully vaccinated more than 60 percent of their populations, the AP said. As the virus’s highly contagious Delta variant continues to spread, the U.S. is averaging 94,000 new infections daily, similar to rates from mid-February....

The whole country is seeing an increase in hospitalizations, rising from a daily admissions average of 46,714 on November 12 to 56,994 on December 2, according to New York Times data. Some 60 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. Vermont, the country’s most vaccinated state, which is 73 percent fully vaccinated, has seen its average daily hospitalizations climb by 32 percent over the last two weeks. That figure is now 75 new hospital admissions a day, the data indicates....

They were held on board near the town of Birkenhead, on the bank of the River Mersey, just opposite the city of Liverpool, in northwest England. A spokesperson for the ferry company said: “Stena Line can confirm that six members of the crew of the Stena Edda have tested positive for COVID-19 last night.

Instead, he'll be welcoming a son into the world. The Cowboys traded their second and third-round picks to the Washington Redskins to land Lawrence, a defensive end out of Boise State. He is expected to return to camp on Saturday, the second and final day of rookie mini-camp. [via ESPN Dallas]

The Cowboys won the NFC East, but they weren’t able to win a playoff game. The 49ers beat them 23-17 in the wild-card round of the playoffs and sent Dallas to the offseason earlier than expected. Jerry Jones wasn’t happy with the Cowboys’ first-round exit, but he elected to stick with McCarthy and Co. for another year. The goal is to retool and continue to improve with their coaching staff — including offseason coaching candidates Kellen Moore and Dan Quinn — intact....

But the network reports a source says Smith will be ready for the playoffs. The Cowboys have already clinched a first-round bye, meaning the team would not play until Jan. 14 or 15.

Although he left the game early, he seemed fine afterward, team owner Jerry Jones said....

Washington quarterback Alex Smith is out for the year after breaking his tibia and fibula while going down on a sack in Washington’s Week 11 loss to the Texans.

As the conference kicked off, organizers heard scattered booing at the very suggestion that the host facility required masks. But spirits quickly lifted as a litany of conservative faces and voices filled the weekend air with praise of Donald Trump, barbs against Joe Biden and clarion calls for bold conservatism as the path toward winning back the White House. Outside the Orlando Hyatt Regency, across Republican America, voters can be found who are more ambivalent about Trump, and even a few who have never been fans....

Despite lacking any sort of Smash-related insignia on the listing, the “AA” attached to this particular line is known to be associated with the IP. With that said, it’s possible that another version of an existing character will make the jump into the world of amiibo, with alternate fighters like Captain Olimar’s Alph skin being a strong candidate or even something akin to the Famicon ROB amiibo. So it’s important that fans keep that in mind before getting too excited about the prospect of a new challenger....

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy came in at the top of the sales charts following its first week of release. The game is the biggest single-format boxed release of the year in the United Kingdom, beating out the hugely successful Horizon: Zero Dawn, which held that title since its debut in February. The only 2017 release to have sold more copies in its first week than the N. Sane Trilogy is Ghost Recon: Wildlands, which is at a distinct advantage, having launched across multiple formats....

After seeing a potential move to Barcelona dismissed by Liverpool and then being kept out of the team through injury, the 25-year-old was unable to make the difference for the Reds in his first three appearances. However, the Brazil international kept his place in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI for the league meeting with Leicester and it took just 15 minutes for him to get back on form for his side....

All viruses develop mutations and variants, and COVID-19 is no different. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple variants of the virus have developed. One of these variants is B.1.1.7, which was initially found in the United Kingdom in September 2020. Also known as the Alpha variant, B.1.1.7 was once the dominant strain in the United States. Where Alpha Has Spread The B.1.1.7 variant has now spread to at least 164 countries worldwide, including the United States....
