Fans of the series did a lot of work in reverse engineering Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City, which would then allow Nintendo Switch users to port these games to their consoles. Recently, however, Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two issued DMCA takedowns, which ordered for shutting down these projects. Such a move would have sent fans into a raging outcry, which has happened to some extent in this case as well, but it seems there could be a blessing in disguise here, as it could point to something bigger coming out,...

The message sounded jaunty, but the voyage, as Piccard himself said in an earlier transmission to his ground controllers in Switzerland, was “no picnic.” Like other modern high-altitude balloons, the Orbiter is a hybrid design that uses both helium and hot air for lift. The gondola, 9 feet by 8 feet by 18 feet, is about the size of a small house trailer, but much of that space is occupied by fuel tanks for the craft’s propane burners....

Ritalin is the brand name for methylphenidate, a stimulant prescribed to children and some adults with attention deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD). Until recently, both the diagnosis and the treatment were fairly uncommon. But in the last five years, as ADHD has become a fashionable diagnosis, Ritalin consumption has risen nearly six-fold, according to the DEA. About 2 million Americans will take the drug this year including more than one in every 30 kids ages 5 to 18....

In a suit filed late Friday in New York Supreme Court in the Bronx, lawyers for Rodriguez say he was given an MRI on Oct. 11, 2012, that revealed an injury to his left hip joint. The suit said that Yankees physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad did not inform him of the tear and cleared him to continue playing, and accused them of medical malpractice. As a result, the suit claims, Rodriguez further injured himself and also "sustained great pain, agony, injury, suffering, disability, hospitalization, as well as mental anguish and emotional distress....

Canha, who hit .303/.384/.505 for Triple-A New Orleans in 2014, must either stay with the A’s (or a team that the A’s trade him to) all season or be offered back to the Marlins for $25,000. The positions that Canha can play already are pretty crowded – Stephen Vogt can play both spots, while Oakland has Sam Fuld and Craig Gentry part of the picture in left field, and a DH/first base mix that includes Billy Butler, Ike Davis, John Jaso, and Nate Freiman....

Los Angeles Galaxy have endured a miserable season so far and have a point to prove in this game. Interim head coach Dominic Kinnear led the Galaxy to a 2-1 victory in his first game in charge of the club and will want to finish the season strongly in the coming weeks. Seattle Sounders have been one of the most dangerous teams in the MLS this season but seem to have lost their way in the recent past....

Andrew Marnell has been charged with one count of bank fraud, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The criminal complaint alleged that the 40-year-old received approximately $8.5 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans through applications to insured financial institutions, and others, on behalf of different companies. As part of the federal emergency financial assistance response to the new coronavirus pandemic, the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act authorized up to $349 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses through the PPP....

Before getting into the locations of these Lost Ark Mokoko Seeds, it is worth noting that players may not see the collectibles in the positions that are described below. Indeed, a number of Luterra Castle Seeds are completely hidden from view by various environmental elements. While players will not be unfamiliar with this phenomenon by the time that they reach Luterra Castle, it definitely makes finding these Seeds more difficult....

RELATED: Lost Judgment: Every Kappa Statue (& Where to Find Them) As well as Kuwana, several other characters from earlier Lost Judgment chapters also make their return, including Tesso and Ehara’s alleged victim, Yui Mamiya. Players will need to complete numerous investigations to unearth the truth and will finally get a chance to examine Sawa’s high school yearbook. The Meeting at Survive Upon his arrival at Survive, Tak will be invited to join Kuwana’s uncle at the bar....

Boromir is a noble and mighty man, no doubt, and his intentions are good because he wants to help his people, but he is also weak-willed and easily succumbs to the ring, which marks him out as the only member of the fellowship to betray the quest. The portrayal of Boromir also greatly differs from Tolkien’s original books to Peter Jackson’s movie adaptations of him, especially as this extended scene completely changes Boromir’s character to show the weight and the pressure that his father Denethor puts upon him to return to the white city with the ring....

Charlotte Brändström has been in the industry since 1984, with directorial credits on shows like The Witcher, Outlander, and Jupiter’s Legacy. She’s to direct this episode and the following one. If “Udûn” is any indication, fans are in for quite a treat next week too. RELATED: Rings of Power: How Poppy’s Song Tells The Fate Of Middle Earth “Udûn” is the big fantasy battle climax that the show has been setting up the armies for....

The Haradrim are the people of this expanse of ocean. In the Sindarin language, ‘Harad’ means ‘south’ and ‘rim’ means ‘host’, which is how the population earned its nick-name Southrons. We are first introduced to this particular race of men in the Two Towers when they are seen passing through the lands of Faramir and his Rangers. They later come out in the film in full force, being one of the main armies that attack the allies at the battle of Pelennor fields, one of many great battles that have been fought throughout all the ages of Middle Earth....

It was also known as Moria or the Dwarrowdelf. When it was destroyed by a Balrog and infested with orcs and goblins early in the Third Age and left abandoned, the loss was felt across the continent, comparable to when the Kingdom of Numenor fell. RELATED: LOTR Rings Of Power: The Harfoot Migration, A List Of Possible Destinations Rings of Power,the show based on the lore of Middle-earth during the Second Age, features the Dwarf city of Khazad-dûm as one of its settings and some of the main characters are the royal family during the reign of Durin III....

Holtz, a former coach and longtime analyst, argued in favor of playing out the 2020 season. His appearance came as conferences assess whether to field full football schedules despite the continued spread of the coronavirus. “There’s no way in this world you can do anything that’s without a risk,” Holtz said. “People stormed Normandy. I took some grandchildren down to that (place). They knew there would be casualties, they knew there were going to be risks, but it was a way of life....

“I’d rather be in Auschwitz than New York City,” C.K. told the Tel Aviv audience, complaining that he is essentially the most hated man in the U.S. metropolis. “I mean now, not when it was open.” At the comedy club appearance, the half-Jewish comedian, whose birth name is Louis Székely, reportedly referenced his sex scandal amid the cancel culture climate and #MeToo movement, which first ousted him from the spotlight in 2017....

But Fulbright made an even larger contribution – one that is rarely recognized, in part because the consequences of it have not always been favorable. When Fulbright came to the Senate in 1945 (after serving as president of the University of Arkansas), the United States had just won World War II. Confidence in the American government was at an all-time high. If a government official said something, the assumption was that it was true....

But in recent months a new leader has given the movement a burst of momentum. Billy Roper, a 32-year-old former schoolteacher from Arkansas, has spent months quietly reaching out to disenfranchised racists and neo-Nazis across the country, uniting them under his new group, White Revolution. “Billy Roper is clearly a rising star among hard-core racists,” says Mark Pitcavage of the Anti-Defamation League. Soft-spoken and polite to a fault, Roper looks and sounds less like a white supremacist than an avuncular union organizer....

The Serb has achieved near-everything in 2015, which has turned out to be one of the 10-time Grand Slam champion’s best years so far. Djokovic has stayed at the top of his fitness, proving difficult for his opponents to beat him, on whatever surface he played. He was playing consistent tennis for the past five years, but 2015 has brought Djokovic to another level altogether. He started the calender at Doha, where he was upset by the big-serving Ivo Karlovic of Croatia in the quarter-finals of the Qatar Open....

Because I pointed out a real problem. You don’t have to know anybody or go through any back doors if the problem you are pointing out is valid. If your ideas are good, they’ll use them. How do you feel about Prime Minister Zhu Rongji and his economic reforms? I can understand what he’s trying to do, but I don’t agree with his policies on state-owned-enterprise (SOE) reform. Right now they think that the way to fix the SOEs is to change the leaders....
