Rooney dropped for Slovenia game Interim manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed Rooney will be among the substitutes on Thursday evening, though claims the decision was tactical rather than based on form. And Henderson, who took over as Reds captain from Steven Gerrard in 2015, will lead out the Three Lions as they look to make it three wins from three in Group F. “I’ve been very impressed with him,” Southgate said of the former Sunderland man....

In a recent interview with MMAFighting.com, Deiveson Figueiredo made it known that he wanted to face Cejudo for a lighter version of the BMF belt in 2021. Obviously, ‘Triple C’ didn’t take too kindly to the reigning champion’s call-out, and issued a response: In the tweet, Cejudo called Figueiredo a bum, and even tagged UFC president Dana White: Henry Cejudo dethroned Demetrious Johnson to become the new UFC flyweight champion back in 2018....

The U.S. has confirmed more than 5.4 million cases of COVID-19—although the true figure may be significantly higher—and recorded over 160,000 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. However, people may develop at least some form of immunity after infection, meaning the number of individuals who are vulnerable to the disease in hard-hit areas—such as southern states that have recently seen large spikes in infections—is dropping, according to pandemic analyst Trevor Bedford from the University of Washington....

Chinese authorities deployed drones and mobilized hundreds of people throughout the country to help monitor the herd’s movements and prevent them from causing trouble, says NPR. The media organization also reported fruit and vegetables were used as bait to keep the elephants from traveling through populated areas—however, the bribing didn’t work. The elephants traipsed through various towns and villages, causing a large amount of wreckage along their long journey. Xinhua News Agency, China’s state-run media agency, reported an estimated $1....

It’s all about telling him how you feel and expressing your love for his limitless support. If you don’t have a way with words, that’s OK. There are hundreds of quotes that you can borrow to tell your own dad how much you appreciate him. Or, use them to caption that great Instagram photo you’re ready to share of him. While the words and thoughts about fathers are in seemingly endless supply on the internet, we chose a handful of the best for easy browsing....

The SEC will now play a 10-game conference schedule and moved its conference championship weekend to Dec. 19. That move contradicts the ACC’s scheduling model, which left room for a plus-one outside of 10 conference games. For the SEC, that means each team lost four nonconference games. That included some traditional ACC-SEC season-ending rivalries such as Kentucky-Louisville, Florida-Florida State, Clemson-South Carolina and Georgia-Georgia Tech. Those are staples of rivalry week....

Matt James has yet to really dive into any relationships on The Bachelor Season 25. He gave his first impression rose to Abigail, a deaf woman that Bachelor Nation has fallen for wholeheartedly. While she’s a clear frontrunner, there are 24 other women still competing for James’ heart—and with that comes plenty of plot twists. Monday will show “multiple women spiraling out of control” when two one-on-one dates spotlight how competitive the Bachelor experience really can be....

According to an end of year report published by industry analysis firm SuperData Research, Pokemon GO had an incredibly successful 2017. Pokemon GO “continues to find overwhelming success despite drop-off from the initial hype,” says SuperData. The firm estimates that the game made $890 million during the year, putting it in ninth place in a list of the top 10 mobile games in 2017 based on revenue. Other games to make the top 10 list include Tencent’s MOBA Arena of Valor, which made $1....

Naturally, the Bell Centre tribute didn’t disappoint. Beliveau, 83, had been memorialized all week as a player and person, and the Canadiens’ video addressed both, including an emotional appearance from his widow, Elise Couture.

But about a year ago, one of the most popular statins, Baycol, was recalled by the Bayer Corp. because it had been associated with several dozen deaths as well as hundreds of adverse affects related to muscle weakness and breakdown. The recall left both patients and the medical community reeling and cast a heavy cloud over a family of medications that not much earlier had been heralded by some as miraculous....

With Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War proving that limited day-one content and plentiful bugs cannot keep the series down, it makes little financial sense for Call of Duty to ever skip a year. Still, it is hard not to think of all the good that a year off could do. With Sledgehammer Games reportedly struggling to meet the strict deadline the series is known for, as well as a chance to give fans what they want during the off year, the best possible scenario for Call of Duty’s 2021 plan is also the least likely to happen....

Once again, Harvick had a fast car but when many in the field pitted under caution on Lap 71 at Sonoma Raceway, he lost two spots on pit road and ended up restarting 11th.

These expansions are from the “Year of the Raven”, the last Standard year in Hearthstone’s yearly cycle.

Kushner starts right off by laughing us into the center of our ideological crisis. “Perestroika” opens in Moscow 1986 with the ancient figure of Prelapsarianov (Kathleen Chalfant), the “oldest living Bolshevik,” orating about the death of Marxist theory and its replacement by American cheeseburger capitalism. In a scene worthy of Shaw, Kushner both satirizes Marxist abstraction and warns about the lack of new ideas in our “sour little age.” A great crash and we move from the Kremlin to downtown New York, picking up the last scene of Part One, with the AIDS-stricken Prior (Stephen Spinella) cowering in his bed beneath the Angel (Ellen McLaughlin), who has crashed through his bedroom ceiling....

In the avalanche of press coverage that’s followed New Era’s spectacular demise, the focus has fallen squarely on the big-name philanthropists who’ve been fleeced by what authorities say was a half-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme. Among the victims: venture capitalist Laurance Rockefeller and former treasury secretary William Simon. But these deep-pocketed donors are in far better shape than the hundreds of institutions-many of them small evangelical groups–that were stripped of cash by New Era’s fall....

MotionScan is the tech behind the game’s ability to create stunning and full-featured visages. It uses 32 HD cameras to film the actor’s head so that every little twitch and glance is recorded for the game. While most development houses would sell their mothers for the opportunity to achieve the level of realistic facial movement on display in L.A. Noire, Cage sees a rather large problem with their capture methods, namely that the facial performances are captured separately from the body performances....
