Before we get into this week’s lineups, here are the basic rules for FanDuel contests. Scoring is pretty standard, with the only notable settings being four-point passing TDs and half-point PPR. FULL-SLATE DFS LINEUPS: DraftKings Wild Card Full-Slate FanDuel Picks: NFL DFS lineup advice Saturday main slate, $60,000 budget, no more than four players from one team QB Matthew Stafford, Rams vs. Cardinals ($7,600) Stafford-Kupp stacks are as chalky as it gets, but we’re paying up for the high-upside play in this tournament....

Peter, 43, moonlights as a novelist, having written the coming-of-age novel “Outside Providence”–later a Michael Corrente movie–and the splendid L.A. story “The Comedy Writer.” In person, he is voluble, antsy–and almost compulsively generous and welcoming. During the reporting of this story, he offered me a piece of candy, a signed poster, nightclub tickets, a round of golf, a free babysitter and cash. Brother Bobby, 42, is also warm and unpretentious, but he’s far more private....

Slaven Bilic’s side had taken a two-goal lead at the break courtesy of goals from Javier Hernandez and Ghana’s Andre Ayew superb solo effort. However, a second-half rally by the Eagles starting with Luka Milivojevic’s well-taken penalty and ending with the Cote d’Ivoire international’s 97th-minute leveler ensured that the game finished all square. And the former Manchester United winger who has been instrumental for Roy Hodgson’s side since his return from a knee injury spoke of his pride in the fight shown by the whole team and hailed the Palace supporters who never stopped cheering even when they went down 2-0....

Talking to OXM, Infinity Ward’s community manager, Tina Palacios, appears fairly confident that the Modern Warfare name is truly dead and buried. Palacios then went on to say that the developer was only focused on Ghosts right now and that the company has “no other plans at this time.” That seems to put to bed any speculation that series could see a return from the likes of Captain Price in the future but if the new direction is devoid from the previous universe, what about the connection to the Ghost character?...

So what went wrong? Alonso, who moved to McLaren in 2007, was challenged by his then rookie teammate Hamilton. Both tied at the end of the season on points, and lost the world championship to Kimi Raikkonen. But the main talking point of the season was the drift between Fernando and Ron Dennis that resulted in Alonso leaving the team. After two years in a non-competitive season with Renault, he moved to Ferrari in 2010....

Atletico Madrid, however, were in a more precarious position as their qualification was yet to be secured and that is still the case. Going into the final round of the group stages in a couple of weeks, Atletico Madrid faces the possibility of being eliminated from the competition. Will this happen though? It is, of course, possible but dependent on several things happening for it to occur. Firstly, Atletico Madrid will have to lose or draw the final group stage fixture against Lokomotiv Moscow....

In 19 NBA seasons, James has never requested a trade, only joining a new team when he has become an unrestricted free agent. Of course, requests aren’t really necessary when he can use the threat of free agency to keep general managers in win-now mode — and he might be preparing to employ that strategy again. Beginning on Thursday, Aug. 4, James, who is currently only under contract through the 2022-23 season, is eligible to sign an extension with the Lakers....

It has been long rumored that Apple is scheduled to release two versions of iPhone 6 in 2014, with one having a 4.7-inch display and the other boasting a 5.5- or 5.7-inch screen. If the launch takes place in August, then it would be totally a different strategy by the company, which has been launching the past three versions of the flagship smartphone in September or October, according to MacRumors....

Both should be relatively academic. FIFA has moved with uncharacteristic speed in previous situations like when William Yarbrough swapped from Mexico to the U.S. in 2015 or when Jesse Gonzalez got approval in June to suit up for the Stars and Stripes in the Gold Cup. It’s also a good bet that the switch wouldn’t be coming if Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio wasn’t ready to call Gonzalez into the team, so you can expect a call-up....

Pitt’s Kenny Pickett is viewed as one of the top signal-callers in this year’s class of QBs, and would seemingly be a strong fit in Carolina. He has a high floor and could step into a starting role early if Darnold struggles to begin the 2022 season. With Darnold entering his last year under contract with the Panthers, this would also be a chance for Carolina to not just take a quarterback option for 2022, but one for the future....

But the thought that eventually came to my mind the moment their interaction kicked off wasn’t about what’s going to happen in this feud. There have been reports circulating that Kurt Angle is interested in returning to the WWE and he reportedly even pitched an idea for his return. With the WWE continuing to put emphasis on Rusev as a foreign heel and having an umpteenth storyline of Americans showing up time and again to conquer this Russian force, I just imagined how it would be if Angle was to return to be another American to test this challenge....

The Cumbre Vieja volcano began erupting at around 3.12 p.m. local time (10:12 a.m. EDT) on Sunday, according to officials. It forced the evacuation of around 5,000 people from their homes in villages in the area, Canary Islands president, Angel Victor Torres, said in a press conference on Sunday. It marked the volcano’s first eruption since 1971. The threat level was raised to red at 5 p.m. local time on Sunday, with 35,000 residents in Tazacorte, El Paso, Fuencaliente, Mazo, and Los Llanos de Aridane placed on alert....

After their 6-5 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night, the Mets decided to part ways with both of their hitting coaches, Chili Davis and Tom Slater. Davis had been with the Mets since 2019 while Slater had been a part of the team since ‘18. There are countless reasons that the Mets made this move, but chief among them may be the struggles of Lindor. The team surrendered a massive trade package, headlined by shortstop Amed Rosario and speedy infield prospect Andres Gimenez, to acquire Lindor in the offseason and signed him to a 10-year deal worth $341 million....

Though things may seem to be nearing a drop-dead point to ensure a normal regular season, history tells us that there’s probably more negotiation time for the players and owners than one might realize. MORE: Strikes and lockouts: A history of MLB work stoppages Lessons from 1990, 1976 MLB lockouts The 1990 MLB lockout started Feb. 15 and lasted 32 days, finally ending on March 19 — right as teams would normally be winding down spring roster decisions ahead of the originally scheduled April 2 Opening Day....

“No. We think ‘do they really believe in his development?’ and ‘will they do all they can to make him better?’. The answer has been very clear to us. The club does not have the patience or desire for that - they live in the short term. “Even if you are a top, top player, there is no guarantee of success because they can throw you away if you struggle, even a little, and for a profit, too!...

The Deep Dark Biome and the Warden were scheduled to be released in the Caves and Cliffs update in 2021. However, Mojang announced that these features would be delayed since they wanted to expand on it. When they were reintroduced at the end of 2021 for the Minecraft 1.19 update, gamers were delighted to see the new structure added to the Deep Dark biome. Unfortunately, the Ancient City does not have a portal for a new realm....

Topuria is yet to have a fight re-booked on the UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs. Allen card, but the German-born fighter is still healthy. The rising star could still compete during the event. Barboza is currently on a two-fight losing streak in the UFC after losing back-to-back bouts against Bryce Mitchell and Giga Chikadze. Edson Barboza may have had a tough challenge against Ilia Topuria, with the 25-year-old currently unbeaten during his professional MMA career....

I just bought my tablet about 2 months ago and have not used it in about 1 month. I know the battery is dead but when I try to charge it, whether it be on the pc or through the charger, it does not do anything. How do I resolve this?

GM first developed the LS engine in 1997, and its debut revolutionized the world of V8 engines. An LS engine swap is a common tactic for improving the quality and power of a vehicle.

But an esthetician is not a medical doctor, so there are some things that she can’t do. Estheticians Can’t Prescribe Acne Medications If you’re hoping your esthetician can help you get your hands on a tube of acne-fighting Retin-A (tretinoin) or Epiduo, you’ll be disappointed. Estheticians can’t dole out any prescription acne medications, even topical ones. If you need a prescription acne medication, you’ll need to see a medical doctor instead....
