The 6-9 Roberson, who attended Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, reportedly completed summer school work to raise his grades and meet eligibility standards, and that apparently was enough to get Roberson qualified. Syracuse is losing only one starter in its frountcourt in James Southerland, but adding a player of Roberson's caliber will be a depth boost for Jim Boeheim's team. Jerami Grant figures to move into Southerland's lineup spot, and the Orange also have DaJuan Coleman, C....

Katherine came to the Stars’ game against Boston with a sign that read, “My only wish for my Sweet 16 is to see Tyler Seguin.” The 23-year-old made her day, and possibly her year, when he skated over to her, and flipped a puck to her. She was in such awe that one of her friends had console her. MORE: Best draft class for every NHL team | Ranking NHL home uniforms...

To complicate matters even further, you can have several types of psoriasis at once or suddenly switch from one form to another when exposed to different environmental triggers. As an autoimmune disorder, psoriasis requires lifelong surveillance to treat whichever type of disease you have at a given point in time. Plaque Psoriasis Plaque psoriasis, also known as psoriasis vulgaris, is the most common form of the disease, accounting for around 80% to 90% of all cases....

Here’s the proof: So days after inking his five-year, $62.5 million extension, Mathieu went to see if Glennon had a change of heart and was surprised to find Glennon blocked him on Twitter (real mature, dude).

After drawing their first match in 2018, the Gypsy King knocked Wilder out in the seventh round to win the WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles last year. While boxing fans were desperate for an all-British world title heavyweight clash between Fury and Anthony Joshua this year, both men ended up facing different opponents. Joshua suffered a shock defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in London last month—and a shock is something Fury will be looking to avoid at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this weekend....

We’ve reported on some of the reaction that veterans have had to this option in the game, but this is the first time that a major political figure has come out against it. Fox stated that he’s disgusted with the game and hopes that U.K. stores will ban the game when it releases later this year. He goes on to reference a specific multiplayer map set in the Helmland province, where U....

In hopes of securing new pledges and political support, U.N. Peacekeeping launched on Tuesday a two-day virtual ministerial meeting hosted by South Korea. “We have actually a significant number of needs in various areas,” U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix told Newsweek. Among the key fields in which Lacroix was hoping for support was replenishing a “relative shortage” of current infantry units, something he said has not yet affected mission performance but could be addressed by the gathering....

Citing U.N. figures, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told a virtual U.N. Security Council that “13.4 million people—two in every three Syrians—are in need of humanitarian assistance” and “12.4 million people in Syria are food insecure.” He then accused the Syrian government of targeting a hospital last week and its top military partner, Russia, of having struck that same day “near the only U.N.-authorized border crossing with Syria, killing a civilian, destroying humanitarian supplies, putting the most effective way of getting aid to the Syrian people at risk....

American athletes will come away with 45 gold medals from the Rio de Janeiro Games which start on Friday, one less that they got in London four years ago, while China will win 36, two fewer than in 2012, according to the investment bank’s economists. Beyond athletic performance, economic success enhances the chances of Olympic glory, according to Goldman Sachs, because “a country is more likely to produce world-class athletes in a world-class environment”....

Brent Christensen, the director of the American Institute in Taiwan, will attend the 40-minute event in Taipei, according to a foreign ministry bulletin. Christensen, who was appointed to lead the de facto U.S. embassy in 2018, will be joined by Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu for the signing of a U.S.-Taiwan coast guard memorandum of understanding.

During his debut game in 2003, the young Ronaldo managed to show his star potential in less than 30 minutes. During the game, the Portuguese won a penalty and played a part in a Manchester United goal. The former United manager has gone on to describe the performance as “unbelievable”. Fast forward to 2018 and Ronaldo is one of the best footballers to play the game. The now 33-year-old shows no signs of stopping as he hopes to carry on playing for another eight years....

The Tribal Chief won the blue brand’s title at Payback on August 30 2020, against Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. Since then, he has also added the WWE Championship to his trophy cabinet after beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 in April 2022. Following him passing 700 days as Universal Champion, the WWE Universe took to social media to share their thoughts on The Tribal Chief’s monumental achievement. Reigns continued his era of dominance this past Saturday as he defeated Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship....

Spaces Won’t Be Mobile-Only for Much Longer Noah Jorgensen, senior software engineer at Twitter, shared screenshots on Friday of what he’s currently working on: access to Spaces via a desktop computer. Jorgensen’s screenshots show a small pop-up window that appears when you want to join a Space. You’ll see a list of people currently in that Space, and a purple button that says Join this space. In the past, reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong has leaked some Twitter features before they’ve officially rolled out (for example, the addition of Revue’s newsletter features and the development of the “undo tweet” button), but this time, she opted to simply reply to Jorgensen’s thread of tweets:...

Vine attracted a legion of loyal fans who used the platform to share and watch six-second videos that play in a loop. They were devastated when Twitter, which owned it, announced in 2016 that it was shutting it down. Since then, short-form video app TikTok has become massively popular—and now, more than two years after first announcing he was working on a successor to Vine, co-creator Dom Hofmann has launched his reimagined version as a new app called Byte....

But some people are using these stay-at-home orders to do something they wouldn’t usually have time to do: write a novel. While there will likely be stories written about the pandemic in the future, some Twitter users are getting a head start by sharing the first sentences of their would-be novel written about the outbreak. Bill Grueskin, journalist and professor, is responsible for the prompt, as he asked his Twitter followers: “What’s the first sentence of the best novel that will be written about this epidemic?...

Why Arsenal should have signed Draxler The Germany international has already scored more goals this season (9) than in his three previous campaigns at the Emirates, while he racked up more assists (36) in his first 100 Premier League games than every other centurion except for Eric Cantona (39) - yet his performances of late have been so poor that Wenger felt obliged to have a chat with his playmaker on Friday....

However, when it’s large Great Danes that you have as pets this greeting is a very full-on experience, as a recent viral video shows. In footage posted to TikTok by an account called Lovemargot.co, ran by dog owner Sabrina Giardina, we can see a woman being flanked by the two huge dogs, who are standing on their hindlegs as she dances between them. A man then walks through the door, into the kitchen area, and the two animals, who are named Viola and Parker, bound towards him and leap to give him a human-style hug....

They keep counting me out–even though I always prove them wrong. Yes, my heart gives me no end of trouble. This latest recovery has been the longest yet, and the Americans say I may need some complicated surgery. But I’m back on my feet, 24 pounds lighter and ready to do battle. My doctors and my wife won’t like it, but I may have to announce next month that I’ll run again....
