Even as they prepare for the US trials to reach the London Olympics, American sprint stars have Usain Bolt and the Jamaicans who dominated the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the back of their minds. The primary mission is to qualify for the Olympics with a top-three finish at the US meet starting Friday at Hayward Field, but after that comes a rematch in England against a Jamaican sprint squad that was dominant four years ago....
It’s still very early, but just six 2013 draftees made a real mark in the league right away last season. MORE: Steele: The 10 worst drafts of the 2000s | Iyer: Each NFL team’s worst-ever draft pick Three were from the NFC North: Packers running back Eddie Lacy, Vikings speedster Cordarrelle Patterson and Bears right guard Kyle Long. The 49ers saw safety Eric Reid join them with a Pro Bowl nod....
This box set comes with 36 booster card packs, each with 11 cards. According to the auction site, the odds of fans getting a foil card out of one of the packs is about 1:3, meaning they could potentially get some especially rare and valuable cards out of the deal. However, it seems unlikely that someone would pay so much money for Pokemon cards and then decide to open them, as that would greatly decrease the product’s overall value....
The candidate who’s practically a sure thing for induction in the Canton Class of 2015 is late Chargers linebacker Junior Seau, the biggest name in the group of players eligible for the first time. Quarterback Kurt Warner, with a NFL MVP award, a Super Bowl win and two other appearances, is likely to make it, too. MORE: Scenes from Canton | Kelly to Reed, one last time | Decade of defenders...
While many gamers are more familiar with realistic-looking, player-squishing trains like in Call of Duty: Warzone, the trains in Unrailed are colorful and blocky, and while they may catch on fire, they’re not creating any intense situations. Players work together to build a railroad track - a task they can accomplish with strangers online or locally with friends.

Unreal Engine 5 released on April 5 as the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool. One of the revolutionary features of Unreal Engine 5 is Nanite, a virtualized micro polygon geometry system. Nanite allows game developers to import highly detailed photographs to create immersive and realistic content. Additionally, Unreal Engine 5 includes Lumen, a brand-new illumination system that immediately reacts to changes in scenes and light sources....
Gotham Knights comes from Batman: Arkham Origins’ WB Games Montreal, and as such it has roots in the Arkhamverse. It was not until launch, though, that fans finally began to understand that Gotham Knights is its own original IP, which led to a large amount of disappointment it was unable to shed. Gotham Knights went on to receive mixed reviews and was generally disliked, and negative impressions that fans take from it may be inevitably brought to future DC games, such as Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League or Monolith’s Wonder Woman....
With the launch of Beyond Light, Destiny 2 will see a good portion of its content shift into the Destiny Content Vault. This means there is now a time limit on many legacy pieces of loot, at least until the content emerges from the vault. However, some of the stress of getting said items could be alleviated if the datamined information is to be trusted. RELATED: Destiny 2 Player Creates Weapon Checklist for Sunsetting...

They’ve got quite a lot of hype behind them this year, especially since they’ve promised at least one former World Champion from the Black Wednesday firings would be showing up. However, they’ve been teasing more and more competitors, and we may see a handful of top talents return at Slammiversary. Outside of that, though, IMPACT Wrestling has also managed to build up some incredible title matches, including a few announced tonight....
Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Darren Waller have been the top three for the past couple years, and while they’ll still get their numbers, we could see Waller take a step back with the Raiders adding Davante Adams in the offseason. Meanwhile, Kittle has dealt with some injuries over the past two years, and the Niners have a nice 1-2 combo at receiver with Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk to go with new dual-threat QB Trey Lance....

But on the last day of the season – as each team completes their 82nd contest – we are left with a strange feeling in our stomachs and all the activity of the past six months begins to feel relatively pointless. The playoffs begin, and the beyond securing home court advantages and matchups, nothing else from the regular season seems to matter for the remaining 16 teams anymore. It’s still NBA basketball, but it’s now a whole new ball-game....
The legendary coach visited Ohio State on Saturday and learned quickly his attire was unacceptable. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer, who served as an assistant under Holtz at Notre Dame, made Holtz exchange his blue sweater for a more appropriate scarlet pullover.

What Is Urinary Incontinence? Urinary incontinence is characterized by the inability to control the flow of urine. During an episode of incontinence, a small amount of urine (just a few drops) is passed, or a strong and extremely sudden urge to urinate is sensed followed by losing a large amount of urine. It is not uncommon for women to experience both symptoms. Urinary incontinence occurs because of problems with the muscles and nerves that hold or release urine....
The United States will face Canada in the championship game Saturday night. The U.S. finished the preliminary round 3-0, opening with a 5-1 victory over Finland on Tuesday and beating Canada 2-1 on Wednesday night on Brodt’s late goal. “Systematically, this was definitely our best game so far,” U.S. coach Bob Corkum said. “Tomorrow, the key will be to stick with our game plan and hopefully we’ll have a good result....
The Brennan Center for Justice issued a report about the vulnerability of U.S. voting equipment and election vendors who control an overwhelming majority of the country’s electoral process. The report cautions that the federal government has more authority to regulate colored pencils than it does to enforce regulations on the nation’s election infrastructure. The Brennan Center warns that voting technology vendors have “little financial incentive” to prioritize election security and guard against cyber attacks or foreign interference ahead of the 2020 presidential election....
US Department of Justice Antitrust Lawsuit The US Department of Justice spoke on a call this morning regarding the lawsuit, and it sounds quite confident in its stance that Google is violating antitrust laws with its search practices. On the call, Ryan Shores, the Justice Department’s senior advisor for tech industries, said the following: If you want to read the entire lawsuit (it’s 57 pages long), you can check out this Scribd link (H/T The Verge)....
But a consensus continued to elude the U.S. intelligence community as to whether Russian President Vladimir Putin would actually go through with such an operation, as a third U.S. official cast some doubt on the Biden administration’s assessment. “There is no pragmatic reason for the Russians to invade on a mass scale,” the U.S. intelligence official said. “Right now Moscow continues to show force and test the international response.”...
Yes, the modern power game is loaded with risk; it doesn’t always look pretty, and certainly doesn’t always produce beautiful sounds. If anything, many pundits have bemoaned the idea of taking huge cuts at every single shot, for the simple reason that it is not humanly possible to achieve any measure of consistency with that approach. But Cilic, with ground-shaking performances from the quarterfinals onwards that culminated in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 dismantling of Kei Nishikori in the final, turned that theory upside down....
