Where they’re heading Of the handful of teams that seem destined to challenge the Heat in the Eastern Conference this year, the Bulls are coming out of the preseason feeling best about their chances. They’ve got point guard Derrick Rose back after knee surgery, and Rose has demonstrated that he is 100 percent healthy and back to his MVP-caliber form. If he can avoid setbacks, there will be much excitement in Chicago....
There was so much lament about the absence of spectators as Germany’s Bundesliga became the first major professional league to return to the stage since March, when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down big-time sports. There was too much neglecting that big-time soccer once again was being contested. And this was big-time, though not so much on FC Schalke 04’s side as on Dortmund’s. Borussia Dortmund’s 4-0 victory, in the first major team sports event on U....
In a post on the studio’s site, Bungie explained that after the Destiny Alpha and Beta, it became clear that the players are the “most crucial component” of the game’s massive world. Without them, Bungie believes, Destiny would only be a pale imitation of what they’ve been working on for several years. So, sure, you could just play the story missions, a bit of the competitive multiplayer, then play co-op with friends while quoting Guardians of the Galaxy or spotting “Moon Wizards....
With the 30th Anniversary Pack and The Witch Queen patches, it became clear that Bungie wants Destiny 2 players to craft their own builds - and now their weapons, all to give them more agency over what their characters can do. As such, Destiny 2’s Exotic weapons and armor pieces became all the more important, as their unique perks and traits change the way the game is played. In terms of worldbuilding, Exotics are also a fantastic tool to build on existing lore, telling new stories or providing more depth to some characters....
Namely, Destiny 2 hasn’t had a major new secret mission in years at this point, and the community is always ready to jump onto a new mystery. Whereas the majority of Destiny 2’s hotfixes are largely unexceptional, reading into their respective patch notes can sometimes lead to suggestions of something interesting happening in the background, and hotfix 6.2.0.8 in particular seems to stand out in this respect.

Though Bush hasn’t taken any hits, the oppo assault is well under way. Documents obtained by NEWSWEEK show that in recent months both Republican and Democratic campaign gumshoes have combed through Bush’s personal financial disclosures and campaign-finance reports. Perhaps the strongest anti-Bush effort has been mounted by GOP rival Steve Forbes, sources say. Forbes officials acknowledge hiring two oppo experts, but insist they’re looking only for “public record” on all the candidates, not “digging up dirt....
In the global, wired economy, it’s hardly unusual for companies to set up reservation offices or telephone help desks in far-flung cities, even foreign countries. But JetBlue, based at New York’s Kennedy airport, is unusual in its commitment: its entire force of 550 reservation agents work from the comfort of their own homes, all around Salt Lake City. Why there? David Neeleman, JetBlue’s founder, had previously run Morris Air from the area until it was sold to Southwest Airlines in 1993....

Chavis, through his attorney, denies the charges brought by Mary Stansel, who served as his deputy for just five weeks until he fired her in the spring of 1993. But an out-of-court settlement, reached last November and first reported last week by The New York Times, shows that Chavis was willing to pay big money for her silence. It called for two payments totaling $50,000 and six monthly installments of $5,400....
Through the first 30 games of the 2022-23 season, Chicago sits at 12-18 and is on the outside looking in on the Play-In Tournament. Not the playoffs — the Play-In. With three former All-Stars in DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls are supposed to be a team with championship aspirations, but over one-third of the way through the season, they’ve been anything but. Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get worse, The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Darnell Mayberry dropped a report on Dec....
Actually, he’s from Port Arthur, Texas, located 90 miles east of the city, but the solo emcee who made up half the seminal rap group UGK along with the late Pimp C, has served as one of H-Town’s most respected voices since his career began in the late 1980s. If you claim Houston, and Bun doesn’t vouch for you, you aren’t official. The Astros can now say they’re official. The trillest himself, has paid homage to the ALDS-bound squad with a track called “Crush City”, and drops the names of several Houston stars, including Dallas Kuechel, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa....
Germany’s top flight this weekend returned from a two-month suspension caused by the coronavirus pandemic, though all remaining fixtures will be played behind closed doors. Cologne asked supporters if they wanted any memorabilia placed in the stands to ensure they still had some kind of presence in the RheinEnergieStadion. The club then used the shirts, scarves and stuffed replicas of goat mascot Hennes to create a brilliant show - known as a tifo - out of the empty seats....
Leipzig were 1-0 down behind closed doors at the Red Bull Arena as Manuel Gulde scored with a touch of fortune from Vincenzo Grifo’s 34th-minute corner. Captain Yussuf Poulsen headed an equaliser 13 minutes from time and Nagelsmann’s side passed up a host of presentable chances, although they earned a VAR reprieve when Robin Koch’s stoppage-time winner for Freiburg was ruled out for a marginal offside. Speaking to media after the match, Nagelsmann stated top form proved elusive due to the enforced break from action his team and others observed due to the coronavirus pandemic....
However, when it comes to Destiny, Bungie’s action-RPG will remain without that particular PS4 Pro emblem for the time being, as the studio currently has no plans on giving the science fiction shooter an upgrade patch for the console’s refined visuals. Be that as it may, Bungie hasn’t ruled it out completely, as the developer admitted in a round-table interview attended and documented by the press outlet GameSpot that it is in fact “looking at” support for Destiny on the PS4 Pro....
Out of the hundreds of changes coming in Season 17, the ones that might need a special mention with the current meta are Arbalest, Renewal Grasps, and Stomp-EE5. Typically, while these aren’t the only changes mentioned in the post, they are essential for a player’s build in PvP and PvE. Exotic nerfs that are scheduled to come in Destiny 2 Season 17 Arbalest has been the pinnacle of any endgame activity in Destiny 2, as it helps players breeze through all kinds of elemental shields and Barrier Champions....

According to witnesses, five or six commuters had been waiting at a stop in Ashdod for more than 90 minutes Saturday night without a bus in sight. But when one finally approached, it refused to stop—so the group stood in the street to force it to put on the brakes. Witness Schmuel Baruch told News 1 the driver slowed, but didn’t come to a full stop, and one man was forced to jump onto the front to keep from getting run over....
Jimmy Rogers Tate has been charged with distributing obscene material to a minor, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The 54-year-old from Palm Bay was released from Brevard County Jail on Friday on a $5,000 bond and is awaiting trial.

Wendy Alberty, 49, is accused of trapping the 32-year-old woman inside the luggage area while it was traveling to Boston, Massachusetts, on August 4. The Connecticut State Police said the passenger was able to call 911 while she was locked in the compartment. Troopers then tracked the woman using her cell phone’s pings and pulled the bus over on Interstate 84 in the town of Union, Connecticut, a few miles from the Massachusetts border....
