Talk about playing in pain. For more than a decade the NBA has been the unrivaled champion of sports marketing. It has created a succession of superstars who, like Elvis, need only one name. It has transformed the slam-dunk into the pinnacle of athletic achievement and captivated the world with its Dream Team. But there is another side of the NBA, somewhere north and west of Shaq. This NBA netherworld isn’t hyped on highlight films, doesn’t show up on network broadcasts and would require an actor of Olivier’s caliber to say convincingly, “I love this game....

Specifically, Lost in Random looks a lot like something Tim Burton would’ve had a hand in. It’s a dark and mysterious world full of looming, disproportionate creatures, and yet there’s something oddly charming about the game’s characters. Director Tim Burton is famous for his gothic stories and the uncanny worlds that he loves to create; Lost in Random falls very much in line with Tim Burton’s aesthetics, as the newest trailer for the game drives home....

RELATED: LOTR: The Most Important Events Of The 1st Age Morgoth’s story is told in The Silmarillion, the book that covers the creation of Tolkien’s universe.

In the earlier ages of Middle Earth, Sauron served beneath Morgoth, who was the previous ruler of evil before him. And Sauron served him fiercely and loyally, carrying out his every command, battling for the Silmarils at his behest, and only fleeing from his side once Morgoth had been defeated. In the aftermath of the loss of his master, Sauron had to regroup and come up with a strategy moving forward....

The wizards came to Middle Earth somewhere between the Second and Third Ages, sent by the Valar to help guide the peoples and creatures against the darkness of the evil lord Sauron. They started by getting to know the world and its creatures, and much of that knowledge came from the ents. Radagast the Brown is known for his love of nature, woodlands, and their creatures, suggesting that he would have been a great companion and ally to these herders of the woods....

As with most worlds, the spiritual background of this universe is very important to its history and what we’ve come to know as its present.

Solana’s impressive performance under this pressure hasn’t gone unnoticed. EU leaders meeting in Cologne last week named him their first High Representative for foreign and security policy. He faces the daunting task of promoting an old but elusive aim: a common defense policy that would allow Europeans to embark on at least limited “autonomous” military actions without always relying on the United States. European leaders stress that the project would only complement NATO, not replace it....

Democrats know the writing is on the wall. Budget Committee chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) announced his retirement last week, a clear sign that powerful leaders within the party believe they will not hold the House majority after the next election. Political scientist and Obama 2012 campaign alumnus David Shor predicts that Democrats could see massive losses in the Senate in the midterm and the 2024 election, even if the party wins a majority of the popular vote because of the realignment....

Without an organ transplant, he would survive only hours, and the odds of finding a viable liver that soon were slim. So his grandparents (who are also his guardians) consented to a radical experiment. Under the direction of Dr. Marlon Levy, surgeons excised the liver of a genetically altered pig named Sweetie Pie and placed it next to Robert in a saline bath. Then, after inserting tubes into vessels in the boy’s neck and groin, they began cycling his blood through the pig’s organ....

Petersen says that Estonian leaders, quietly alerted by senior. officers in the regular Army, sent a plane to fly Yeltsin from Moscow to Tallinn, the republic’s capital.

But, Petersen says, regular Army officers quietly warned that Yeltsin’s plane wouldn’t make it. Yeltsin drove to Leningrad, then flew home....

Generally, those diagnosed with HIV are prescribed antiretroviral therapy (ART) for life to stop it replicating. The study published in the journal Nature focused on 64 members of a small subset of patients with HIV-1, the most common form of the virus, known as “elite controllers.” Such people can keep the virus at bay without taking drugs, and are thought to make up 0.5 percent of people with HIV....

After college, when I entered the work force, I finally sought therapy and was diagnosed with chronic, low-grade depression, but I never discussed my eating disorder with my therapist. I continued to remain symptomatic, binging and purging during the day at work and when I got home, spending a lot of money on food, and harboring my secret to remain thin. I managed to function despite my eating disorder and the ongoing binging and purging....

Paired with a mid-90s fastball, the pitch often catches hitters by surprise. That’s why opponents whiff on it more than 35 percent of the time and hit it weaker than any of his other offerings, according to Statcast. Bassitt spoke to “ChangeUp” hosts Adnan Virk and Scott Rogowsky about the pitch on Friday night. “People don’t really see (the slow curveball) that often,” Bassitt said, “so I think it gives them a different look....

But the case has outraged some First Amendment experts. “It’s clearly unconstitutional,” says Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe. “It’s as close as you can get to creating a thought crime.” The U.S. Supreme Court has said that it can be illegal simply to possess child pornography, since the production of the images harms children. But in this case, says Raymond Vasvari, legal director at the Ohio branch of the American Civil Liberties Union, since the writings were fictional and not intended for distribution, “nobody was exploited....
