That astounding statistic reveals the challenge before us, and the need for leaders to meet this moment with bold solutions that work for Main Street—not just Wall Street. Yet in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the Republican majority leader of the U.S. Senate says he doesn’t “think we have yet felt the urgency of acting immediately.” The people I talk to in Ohio feel the urgency....
One of the biggest missions of the trilogy occurs during Mass Effect 2, as the Suicide Mission is something players prepare the entire game for. It’s a crucial moment and once the mission is put in motion there’s no way to go back or try again without loading a previous save. As the name of the mission suggests, it’s a life or death moment that can lead to many lives being saved or lost....
The demo itself focuses on the same Golden Gate bridge level seen in the reveal trailer, only featuring brief sequences of each Avenger fighting broken up by a little traversal and a few quicktime events here and there. It starts with Thor bashing and electrifying thugs with Mjolnir and even using his hammer to pin enemies in place while bashing others with his fist. There is a heft to the hammer hits that feels appropriate for the character and the use of lightning makes for some impressive visuals, and for the most part he seems like a melee weapon-type character....
Pune, Jan 3 (PTI) Their eyes trained at an elusive Olympic medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games, India’s top two tennis players, Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sharan, strongly feel they could go on to become a “tough team to beat” on the Tour. Bopanna and Sharan moved to the semifinals of the Tata Open Maharashtra after a nail-biting 6-7(4) 6-4 17-15 win over Leander Paes and his Mexican partner Miguel Angel Reyes-Varela....
The incident reportedly took place in the state of Rajasthan, in northern India, right in the middle of the baraat—the groom’s wedding procession. As wedding planner Devika Narain explained in Brides Magazine, a baraat is meant “to bring the groom to the wedding venue with much pomp and fervor”—typically via horseback. “The groom, decked in traditional Indian finery, is usually seated on a ceremonial horse [or an elephant, chariot, or vintage car] as his guests lead the way, dancing,” he said....
The synopsis of the upcoming Wednesday Netflix series has been kept quietly under wraps since the streamer announced the series, but the proverbial picture is becoming more evident as its release approaches. The haunting series will center around various murders that afflict a small town where Wednesday ventures to attend Nevermore Academy, a boarding school for outcasts. It’s unclear what role Wednesday will play, but the setting seems appropriate for the ominous character....
Marlon Mack’s injury has the potential to make two running backs usable in PPR leagues from Indy for Thursday Night Football. Jonathan Williams will be the favored waiver claim, and he did turn a screen pass into 31 yards in Week 11, but that was his only target. His teammate Nyheim Hines saw four targets and caught three after being targeted seven times the week before. Increased usage for Hines should be in the cards against Houston....
But still…we try. And there are certainly things we can learn from last week’s perfect lineup that will carry over to the final weeks of the 2018 season. Lesson No. 1: Amari Cooper is still far too underpriced. Lesson No. 2: The Eagles defense just isn’t that scary anymore. WEEK 15 DFS: Values | Stacks | Lineup builder We’ll get into more lessons below, but first we have to remind you that the results and graphic referenced in this article are from RotoQL, the best DFS research site on the internet....
MORE WEEK 16 RANKINGS: RB | WR | TE | DEF | K FIVE STAR Aaron Rodgers, Packers @ Buccaneers. Assuming you survived Rodgers’ no-show last week, keep him in your championship lineup for this favorable matchup. Andrew Luck, Colts @ Cowboys Drew Brees, Saints vs. Falcons Tom Brady, Patriots @ Jets Peyton Manning, Broncos @ Bengals. Stop boo-hooing over the past couple weeks – it’s Peyton Manning. You know what he can do – outdoors, indoors, in the cold, in the heat – so you have to play him if you’re still gunning for a fantasy title....
We’ve seen a range of disputes. They include those over economic matters, such as the treatment of American technology companies in European markets, disagreements about military spending, such as the need for our allies to meet their existing NATO commitments, an occasional lack of a common approach to adversaries such as Iran and unhappiness with a series of rulings by the European Court of Justice that have upended political agreements between the U....
Having come through a quadruple-overtime epic to nudge 2-1 in front in the series earlier in the week, the Blazers lost their advantage on home court, going down 116-112 to a Nuggets side again inspired by Nikola Jokic. But Portland won Game 2 in Denver and Lillard says that they can take confidence from the experience of that victory as they go back on the road on Tuesday. “It happens,” Lillard told a news conference after shooting 28 points....
On Aug. 1, MTV will kiss its teen years goodbye with a slew of promotional specials that track the station’s rise from an obscure upstart to its current dominant role in music and popular culture. There is certainly plenty of ground to cover. MTV not only changed the way we listen to music, but the station turbocharged the careers of icons such as Madonna and Michael Jackson, inspired fashion trends (remember the Hammer flattop?...
The quarterfinal is most remembered for an explosive clash between Pakistan skipper Aamir Sohail and Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad. Chasing India’s 287/8, Pakistan were off to a flying start with Aamir Sohail putting on 84 runs for the first wicket with Saeed Anwar (48 off 32 balls) in the first 10 overs. Aamir Sohail had just smashed Venkatesh Prasad to the boundary and reached 55 off 45 balls before losing his cool and his stumps went flying the next ball....
Weah - son of former Ballon d’Or winner George, now president of Liberia - will spend the rest of the 2018-19 campaign with Brendan Rodgers’ Scottish Premiership leaders. The 18-year-old forward, already capped by United States, cannot wait to get started, with his potential debut coming at home to Airdrieonians in the Scottish Cup on January 19. “I am in love with Celtic so I am really happy,” he told BBC Sport....
Marshall Herff Applewhite–known as “Do” to his true believers– is not the first millennialist seer, and he almost certainly won’t be the last. What in his strange brew of twisted Christian theology, castration, science fiction, belief in UFOs and mastery of the Internet led 38 others, ranging in age from 26 to 72, to forsake their families and then suffocate themselves? A special, behind-the-scenes report on the worst mass suicide in U....
Again, even superstars bust from time-to-time, but the only time you’ll see those players on this list is if we truly advise sitting them. Normally, we stick to players on the start-or-sit bubble – not “must-starts” and not guys with ownership percentages north of 90. We also know you can’t always avoid players on this list (especially during bye weeks). Sometimes you don’t have the depth to reasonably bench these players or you might just totally disagree with our assessments....
Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Brees completed 34 of 41 passes (83 percent) for 392 yards and four touchdowns with no turnovers Sunday night against the Cowboys. He’s now averaging 340 yards per game with a 25-7 TD-to-INT ratio and could challenge Peyton Manning as fantasy’s top QB in the second half. Tavon Austin, WR, Rams. The rookie finally broke out in Week 10, racking up 314 all-purpose yards and three total touchdowns....
As always, it’s important to remember that when looking for value plays, it’s often wise to approach things like a cash game. You don’t need to overdo the value plays in GPP tournaments if you look to vary your lineup at other positions. RotoQL’s Trending Players Tool can help you quickly find the best value plays in a given week. WEEK 11 DFS CASH LINEUPS: Yahoo | FanDuel | DraftKings...
We’ve been on a roll lately with our sleeper predictions, and that continued last week. At RB, both Josh Adams and Peyton Barber put forth great games and managed to score. Lamar Jackson ended up being a solid play at QB because of his scrambling ability. That said, our pass-catcher picks, aside from Willie Snead, weren’t able to do a lot, so we’ll look to improve in that area this week and find better boom options at WR and TE....
