Australia completed their series sweep thanks to a David Warner century and another five-for from Nathan Lyon, as they sealed a resounding 279-run win in the third Test in Sydney. Warner’s unbeaten 111 led Australia to 217-2, Tim Paine declaring with a 415-run lead, and a comprehensive win was secured as the Black Caps were skittled for 136. Labuschagne, who scored 215 runs in the first innings and hit 59 in the second, finished with 549 runs for the three-match series....

Politics as usual? Not quite. The Bay State may be known for its liberalism, but that hasn’t kept old-style gender issues out of the race. O’Brien has tried to avoid the subject during this close campaign, focusing instead on her record as state treasurer. But Romney, the buff, telegenic hero who organized the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, has to navigate more carefully through these tricky shoals. He needs to win over women voters, whose support in the ’90s was crucial in electing Republican Gov....

If you ever found yourself playing Geometry Wars for hours on end or enjoyed a couple of races in either the PGR or Blur series, watch this video and enjoy the contributions of the now closed studio to the gaming market. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAD4r2dMmKE Personally, Geometry Wars: Evolved was one of the first games I bought on XBLA and remembered spending hours upon hours playing it. The gameplay was simple and addictive and that music they played during it was so catchy, I’m thinking about it right now....

Not since the ancient Olympiads were held under the gaze of Zeus and his randy band of gods and goddesses have the Games been staged in a locale so thoroughly saturated by a single religion. Consider: Utah’s governor, two senators and three congressmen are Mormons. So are all the state’s Supreme Court justices and 80 percent of the state and federal judiciary, 90 percent of the state legislators and at least 85 percent of the mayors, county commissioners and local school officials....

This spring Olson will relive her past in a Los Angeles courtroom, where she is set to go on trial for attempted murder. When Olson was nabbed last summer, many observers assumed that the old case, based on a relatively minor incident (the bombs never went off), would be settled and never reach a courtroom. But Olson, who insists she is innocent and says she never participated in the SLA’s violent activities, demanded a plea agreement without jail time, a condition the district attorney refused....

Brown says he never solicited or received any money from Vietnam. But money need not have changed hands to violate the Hobbs Act-the most expansive federal corruption statute. The Feds “clearly think they have a case to make,” says a Washington criminal-defense attorney with close ties to the Democrats. He has advised friends in the administration that Brown should be encouraged to take a leave of absence, or quit, to clear his name....

You don’t toss an ““egregious’’ in the face of Broadway’s precious Tonys every day. Andrews was fuming because no one else from her hit show had gotten a nod from the Tony committee. But lots of lesser stars were furious, too. It was the first time in memory that the Tony express had passed by every Broadway-born production in the glamour category of best musical, nominating instead four shows that had originated in nonprofit theaters: ““Rent,’’ ““Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk,’’ ““Chronicle of a Death Foretold’’ and ““Swinging on a Star....

Cole has a long and withstanding relationship with the NBA and basketball, and in this article, we delve deep into his love for the game. Rapper J. Cole’s relationship with the NBA and the game of basketball Back in May, J. Cole played in his first professional basketball game as a 2-guard for the Rwanda Patriots Basketball Club, part of the newly formed Basketball Africa League. At the time, he had just released his much-anticipated studio album “The Offseason”, which was reviewed favorably by critics and also did well commercially....

In this article, we will attempt to create a team using players who play for the capital-based clubs in Europe’s top 5 leagues. The capitals we have available to us are London (England), Madrid (Spain), Rome (Italy), Paris (France) and Berlin (Germany). By extension, the clubs for us to choose from are Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Crystal Palace (London), Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid (Madrid), Roma and Lazio (Rome), Paris Saint-Germain (Paris) and Hertha Berlin and Union Berlin (Berlin)....

RELATED: Things We Love About Stray When compared to some of the other chapters in Stray, Chapter 1 is relatively short, with players able to complete it in a little over five minutes if they move at a brisk pace. There are no collectibles or side quests for players to worry about either, though those hoping to unlock the “Territory” achievement should make use of the scratchable tree near the beginning of the chapter....

By last week health officials had documented 18 cases of this strange affliction, 11 of them fatal. The cause is still unknown, but officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have found evidence of an exotic, rodent-borne virus in some victims’ tissues. The bug, known as a Hantaan virus, spreads through the air after rats or mice shed it in their urine. It has never been linked to a disease outbreak in this country....

In Japan, serious crime is at a 23-year high, and criminologists warn that the young generation will be the most violent ever. Last week experts crowded onto talk shows to blame Japan’s woes on the Internet, a pressure-cooker school system, violent TV shows and videogames, and the collapse of traditional families. For millions, the debate dominated – and ruined – the holiday. “This was a dark week, not Golden Week,” lamented housewife Yoshie Abe, 65....

Tribeca Productions oversees the annual Tribeca Festival, which is a film festival. Each spring, it takes place in New York City and features a wide range of content, including cinema, episodic television, talks, music, video games, and immersive experiences. The new documentary at the festival is “On the line: The Richard Williams story,” directed by Stuart McClave and produced by Richard Williams’ son, Chavoita LeSane and McClave himself. The documentary’s runtime is an hour and thirty minutes, and it was released on June 12....

Her allegation is that former President Donald Trump demanded to be taken to the Capitol on that day, against Secret Service advisement and, when his request was denied, tried to grab the steering wheel of the Beast (the presidential limo), while cursing and then lunging toward his Secret Service detail leader, Robert Engel. Upon hearing her testimony, my first question was, “Did she personally witness the event?” She subsequently testified she did not, that her claim was hearsay, a description of events told to her by another individual....

For those who’ve seen the light, Christina Barton, a London immune-system wizard, uses pulsing lights and a magnetic-resonance mat—developed for cosmonauts returning to Earth—to simulate several hours of deep sleep (from $200; www.chrisbar.com). For a quick fix, book a stint in a futuristic flotation tank in London, where buoyant Epsom salts create a weightless, stress-free environment and give an instant energy lift ($100 an hour; float.co.uk). At the Golf Hotel’s Mayr Clinic beside Lake Worth, Austria, a team of draconian doctors practices tough love with a selection of homeopathic pills designed to purge the body of holiday toxins ($2,386 per week; golfhotel....

A Hat in Time released to great reviews in 2017. The game harkens back to the era of mascot platformers like Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie. Reviewers praised the game for its modernization of the classic design, something that games like Yooka-Laylee tried to do but couldn’t quite manage. RELATED: Super Mario Odyssey Mod Adds Classic Banjo-Kazooie Level These influences make A Hat in Time a great fit for the Switch....

Licensed movie tie-in games were some of the most prevalent video game releases in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and Die Hard has had its fair share of adaptations. From the beloved Die Hard trilogy on the PlayStation 1, to the highly nostalgic Die Hard Arcade game, there are a ton of really fun Die Hard experiences out there, even if fans need to tentatively step over the bad ones to get there....

Between these two time periods is a lot of character development. After the death of Sarah, Joel and his brother Tommy must have escaped their home city of Austin, Texas, and found a way to survive for 20 years. There are a lot of references to this time, so much so that creating a The Last of Us game centered on the middle-aged brothers would be feasible. RELATED: The Last of Us Part 1 Review...

A week later federal investigators are still trying to piece together what went wrong. Only one engine survived the impact intact, and the scattered remains of the victims–now undergoing tests–may be too damaged to yield useful clues. For now, the best theory is that the plane suffered a sudden loss of cabin pressure, suffocating the crew and passengers and exposing them to icy minus-70-degree air. The Air Force, which dispatched the F-16s to monitor the Learjet, said the small craft’s windshield was frosted over....
