Jayson Tatum hits buzzer-beater to give Celtics wild OT win over Nets

Jayson Tatum hit an overtime buzzer-beater to cap a wild, roller-coaster 125-124 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday at TD Garden. Tatum scored 40 points — including a career-high 18 free throws on 22 attempts — to rescue Boston after it coughed up a four-point lead in the final four seconds of regulation. After trailing the Nets for 25 consecutive minutes on the second night of a back-to-back, the Celtics had taken the lead late on a rare and-one dunk by Derrick White (total dunks last season: 14) with 34 seconds left in regulation. Then, disaster, it seemed. Center Neemias Queta made contact with Julius Randle’s wrist after a missed Tatum free throw, resulting in his sixth foul and disqualification. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla inserted Mitchell Robinson to replace him. The Nets promptly fouled Robinson, and the notoriously poor free-throw shooter bricked both. Nets…

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Update Adds Shipment To Its Map Rotation

The first post-launch map goes live Just days after the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Activision has expanded the game's map rotation with Shipment. This iconic returning map first appeared in Modern Warfare in 2007, and reportedly began life as an internal test map. It was then included in the broader playlist, and the team supposedly forgot to remove it from the final release. In Modern Warfare 4, this map supports 6v6 multiplayer. Here's the full rundown, along with a look: "The infamous small map is set on a Russian harbor, hemmed in between the water and the concrete panel buildings making up the urban landscape around it. The map itself is true to form with a classic layout and appearance that players will be right at home with, enhanced by Modern Warfare 4’s visual and gameplay improvements." Some other updates, timed in with Halloween, are also on the way this week.…

Opposing climate change action gets more news coverage

"Journalists seem to feel that they always have to include opposing voices when they report on climate change," Rachel Wetts says. "But sometimes they give those opposing voices so much weight, they lead readers to believe that climate denial is more than a fringe stance." (Credit: Leo Hidalgo/Flickr) When organizations take a stand against actions to combat climate change, they get more news coverage than their pro-climate action peers, according to the study. “The media is providing a distorted picture of how different groups feel on this issue.” Rachel Wetts, an assistant professor in Brown University’s sociology department who is affiliated with the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, looked at nearly three decades of climate change-related press releases and national news articles. Approximately 14% of press releases opposing climate action or denying the science behind…

Schuylkill River Passenger Rail Authority takes next step

With federal funding stalled, the Schuylkill River Passenger Rail Authority will use state grants to move forward the effort to restore rail service from Reading to Philadelphia. The project — which has brought together officials from Berks, Montgomery and Chester counties — began in 2022 with the formation of the authority. It aims to create passenger rail service with stops in Reading, Pottstown and Phoenixville. The effort has been included in the federal Corridor Identification and Development Program, which offers funding and other support. With its acceptance into the program, the authority received $500,000 to complete the first phase that included developing the scope and costs of a service plan that will examine ridership and revenue forecasts, capital programming and an operational analysis. Having completed the first phase in September 2024, the authority is now waiting for…
