Rookies and second-year players are starting to impact the game in a more immediate fashion. 22 and 23-year-olds are beginning to look like they’re in their prime despite knowing there’s another level to be tapped into in the coming seasons. Even some teams with the worst records in the NBA have players who deserve a second look at cracking the World’s Greatest Pickup Game. There’s no better reminder that the league is in good hands than trying to trim a group of 40-plus extremely gifted players down to 24, inevitably leaving some future stars snubbed of breaking the threshold to All-Stardom....

Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard will serve as interim coach, according to a report from ESPN.com’s Adam Rittenberg. It’s a surprise move of sorts for one of the stable programs in the Big Ten West. Chryst took over for Gary Andersen after the 2014 season and had a track record of success with the Badgers. That included a 67-26 record, three Big Ten championship game appearances and three New Year’s Day Six Bowl appearances....

What is Ransomware? Ransomware, as the prefix suggests, is an attack on your web server for a possible demand for “Ransom”. It’s just like kidnappers demanding money in exchange for the hostage’s life. In this scenario, the hostage is your enterprise’s data concerning business decisions, finances, accounts, ongoing projects, previous accomplishments, and consumer information. On the other hand, the kidnapper is a malicious code or virus imparted into your system by an unknown attacker....

Seeded sixth and runner-up last year to Andy Murray, Raonic kept his cool on the crunch points, taking five of eight opportunities to break while the 20-year-old 10th seed converted just three of 18. The big-serving Canadian sealed the match with his 23rd ace after close to 3-1/2 hours’ play. Raonic will face Roger Federer in Wednesday’s quarter-final.

It works by attaching to the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors (binding sites). These receptors are located in different parts of the prostate. By binding to these receptors, silodosin relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate. This relaxation relieves BPH symptoms and improves urine flow. Silodosin is available as a prescription capsule. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn’t assigned any black box warnings to this medication. What Is Rapaflo Used For?...

The find? Seven T206 Ty Cobb cards from 1909-11. The location? A crumpled paper bag. MORE: Ranking modern Topps designs | Top 15 card sets from the ’80s According to The Associated Press, a family who requested anonymity nearly discarded the bag thinking it was trash while cleaning out an elderly relative’s home. Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator, told The AP there were about 15 of the cards known to exist....

Gamers considering a purchase of the deluxe edition for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart may be wondering if its contents are worth the price. For those that are only planning to play the game for its main story, or have no prior attachment to the series, perhaps it would be better to stick to the standard edition. For anyone who loves the Ratchet and Clank series and is looking to get the most out of the game, though, the sheer amount of content in the deluxe edition makes it worthwhile....

Raul has been that someone to every club that he has represented for 19 years, and is today as fierce an advocate for the aged players in the system as he ever was. Never mind that it is a system that time will eventually forget — as the stock of players over 30 starts to drop. For Raul, who has been linked with assisting Pep Guardiola as the latter enters his German stint, all this has not been so much of an obstacle to prove otherwise but an opportunity, a chance to step up and prove his critics wrongs, no matter where he plays....

Call of Duty: Warzone’s Double Weapon XP trick was found alongside the debut of Caldera. Part of what makes it so effective is the fact that it can be done in Plunder, a game mode where players respawn if they die. As such, death is not a deterrent whatsoever, as players can keep on respawning to focus on the exploit. Aside from being doable in Plunder, the trick is ridiculously easy to pull off, as all players need to do is complete the game’s new Top Secret Contracts....

During the second quarter of their Week 17 clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium, the Ravens surpassed the record of 3,165 set by the New England Patriots in 1978. Baltimore went into the game on 3,073 yards and wasted little time in setting a new benchmark. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram had already surpassed 1,000 rushing yards each this season, with Gus Edwards their only other player to break 500....

Snell took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and got his major league-leading 19th win, leading the Rays over the Cleveland Indians 3-1 on Wednesday. “I know that we’re winning and that’s the most important thing,” Snell said. “That’s what I’m focused on, that’s what we’re focused on. All the individual stuff I’ll look at later.” Snell (19-5) lost his bid when Jose Ramirez led off the seventh with his 38th homer....

McConnell voted to acquit Trump in Trump’s impeachment trial on Saturday. Trump allegedly incited the U.S. Capitol riot in January with his rhetoric on election fraud. After the vote, McConnell said Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” On Monday, Trump referred to McConnell as “dour” and “sullen.” Read Trump’s statement on McConnell below: The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political “leaders” like Sen....

Biden made his comments when meeting with Cuban-American leaders at the White House on Friday afternoon. Since July 11, thousands of Cubans have been protesting their government over food shortages and the worst economic crisis the country has experienced in 30 years. Specifically, Biden mentioned recent U.S. sanctions against Cuban police and military forces believed to be involved in the disappearing of native protesters. He also mentioned that the U....

What do Liverpool have to do sometimes to get the goal? We had 28 shots on goal. This even comprises of 11 shots on target. I guess some credit must be given to Reading keeper Alex McCarthy, who pulled out some saves which were flat out ridiculous, but it must be noted how disappointing our passing and finishing were in the final third. Daniel Sturridge is a culprit of missing fantastic chances served on a plate by the likes of Luis Suarez and Coutinho, and he put them straight at the goalkeeper or just wide....

The Royals had struggled for goals until they netted three at the City Ground on Friday night. 0 votes

Applications like Twitter and Facebook allow teams to build and develop their brands away from the field. As important it is for teams at the highest level, it's even more critical for minor league teams, all of which must sell a product that doesn't have a talent level as high as MLB's. So, how do we know which minor league teams are most successful? Attendance figures and ticket sales are certainly one way of figuring it out, but dominating social media is one of the best ways to separate yourself from the competition....

So far on Sunday, both have played well against the Portland Trail Blazers, with Gay leading the way. But while Gay had the early production, DeRozan had the highlights. He pulled out a nasty 360 layup in the second quarter. This is defiitely worth your time.

Toronto pounded Philadelphia 125-89 in Game 5, giving them a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Kawhi Leonard has been the most dominant player throughout the series, but Pascal Siakam stole the show this time. The third-year forward followed up his poor Game 4 performance with a game-high 25 points and eight rebounds against the 76ers. Siakam had been struggling with a bruise on his right calf, but definitely had some spring in his step at Scotiabank Arena....

The Raptors forward is discussing a maximum contract extension with his team ahead of the 2019-20 season, according to a report from The Athletic, which cited unidentified league sources. Siakam is eligible for a four-year, $130 million max deal, or a five-year, $170 million max contract. The 25-year-old was selected by Toronto with the No. 27 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft and is coming off a breakout season in which he won the league’s Most Improved Player award....

A right calf contusion means the Raptors could be without Siakam for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The Raptors trail the 76ers 2-1 in the series and Siakam told reporters on Saturday: “It’s weird. “I feel like the team can always count on me to be out there every single night, but things happen.” The injury is believed to have occurred during the fourth quarter of Thursday’s Game 3, when Siakam was called for a flagrant foul after he stuck his right leg out in the direction of Joel Embiid....
