The pipeline acts like a giant “lightning rod,” Bush says, carrying energy all the way from the North Slope, where the aurora is strong, down to Valdez. Which, of course, explains the ‘89 Exxon Valdez oil spill, she says: scientists measured record-high aurora that year. What, no full moon?

FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Friday eased his hardline stance on combating racial abuse and violence in stadiums. Blatter previously said football clubs should be docked points or relegated if their fans were found guilty of racist abuse and violence, however he is now suggesting such measures would be difficult to enforce.

Previous to that championship bout, Bisping was told he would never fight again due to a detached retina. A new documentary, simply titled Bisping, will chronicle the Manchester, England product’s rise to the pinnacle of his sport.

Instead, Black Adam looks to be an origin story for the character, and his introduction is also accompanied by the introduction of the Justice Society of America. Further, the movie is seemingly connected to the extended DCEU as its inclusion of Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller would suggest. But while it looks to be an original adaptation, it seems as if Pierce Brosnan’s Dr. Fate will attack someone or something using a move that fans will surely recognize if they had spent any time playing as or against him in Injustice 2....

At its launch, Blackout lacked a feel of worthwhile progression due to its controversial tier-system, but Treyarch has since added the ability to unlock many playable characters in the battle royale, including nine Zombies characters. One of the nine, Shadowman can only be unlocked through the purchase of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s season pass, but the remaining eight can be made playable through the completion of a series of in-game challenges....
