But the epic world events in Iraq have clearly distracted the public from Hootie’s little skirmish in Augusta, Ga., and spared the Masters chairman any further mortification before he, today, turned center stage at the tournament over to Tiger Woods and friends. Make no mistake about it. Hootie took an old-fashioned butt-kicking from Martha Burk, head of the National Council of Women’s Organizations. He lost in the very first round, firing off a verbal riposte that was the golfing equivalent of a triple bogey....

The science behind this is relatively new and still somewhat controversial. In the late 1980s, a British physician and epidemiologist named David Barker noticed that a group of Englishmen who were born small had a higher incidence of heart disease. Studies showed that rates of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes—illnesses that often are associated with heart disease—are higher in men born small. Barker proposed that poor nutrition in the womb may have “programmed” the men to develop illness 50 years or more later....

Tim Howard had a rough night in the loss against Costa Rica while Brad Guzan’s poor distribution offset some good saves in a mixed effort against Honduras. Bruce Arena didn’t mince words when he called out Howard’s part in one of Costa Rica’s goals, a moment that left you wondering whether the 38-year-old would remain the first-choice U.S. goalkeeper in October. As we stand three days away from Friday’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Panama, Arena hasn’t committed to either as his starter for the important match, which suggests September’s disappointments have shaken things up a bit....

Despite being banned from international warfare, after being classified as a chemical weapon, tear gas has been used by law enforcement over the past few days, as protesters across the country continue to gather, demanding a stop to police brutality against black Americans. On Thursday, Washington, D.C., Council Member Brianne K. Nadeau wrote on Twitter that she was introducing legislation to ban the use of tear gas by district police....

The first State of Decay is an open-world zombie sandbox where the player finds and develops strongholds that recruit survivors. These bases act as the few remaining safe zones for humans to gather and live, and the player helps keep these bases going by foraging for food, supplies, and weapons out in the open world. State of Decay 2 does much of the same but expands upon State of Decay’s basic formula by giving players periodic updates over the years....

Amit Mishra claimed his third hat-trick in IPL yesterday against Pune Warriors India. Mishra came up with an all-round performance against Pune Warriors as he scored 30 off 24 balls and then followed it up with figures of 4/19 in four overs, with all his wickets coming in his last over. Earlier on Tuesday, Sunil Narine had become the eighth bowler to claim a hat-trick in IPL and he was the first to do it in this season....

The feat makes Jadeja the first Indian since Anil Kumble in December 1996 to hold the top position. Overall, the Saurasthra all-rounder is the fourth Indian bowler after Kapil Dev (March 1989), Maninder Singh (December 1987-November 1988) and Kumble to claim the number-one spot.

Hussain had a memorable debut scoring 45 runs at a-run-a-ball before becoming the first Bangladeshi cricketer to pick up the unique feat with the ball. He ended up with superb figures of 30/2 in his 10 overs, but his night ended in disappointment as the visitors edged a closely-fought low scoring affair at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium, thanks to a brilliant all-round performance by former skipper Mohammad Nabi. Despite the disappointing result, the home crowd, as well as the Bangladesh team management, would have been thrilled about the fantastic debut of Mossadek who has been talked about in the domestic circuit for quite some time now....

Before this Steam update, players would only know how much space a game would take up by attempting to install it. After pressing the button to install the game, a new window would list how much of the drive is free, along with how much the game would take up. While this may be a small change, this update gives players a much more convenient way to check how much is needed, and some can take advantage of this new feature now....

Roethlisberger on Father’s Day spoke (virtually, of course) at an event called ManUp Pittsburgh, an annual conference put on by Urban Impact that “encourages and teaches men to be godly leaders for their families, and raises awareness of the devastating impact of fatherlessness among youth today.” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle also were involved. “It’s not always easy,” said Roethlisberger, who has been accused of sexual assault twice during his NFL career, the second time leading to a four-game suspension to begin the 2010 season....

Ben Roethlisbeger and the offense fought through some limitations. The defense was the foundation for much of the success and battled well through injuries. Pittsburgh needs to get more balanced offensively and reinforce on every level defensively. Equipped with eight picks from April 29-May 1, the Steelers should spread the wealth to both sides of the ball. Here’s projecting what they might do from Round 1 through Round 7:...

Let them tell it, they’ve been preparing for Brady instead of his backup, Jimmy Garoppolo, all along. MORE: A photo timeline of Tom Brady’s career | Roger Goodell will not attend Steelers-Patriots game “It wouldn’t be better if you beat him,” Steelers DE Cameron Heyward told TribLive.com. “Our best against their best. (No.) 7’s (Ben Roethlisberger) gonna be there — (No.) 12’s (Brady) gonna be there. So let’s join the party....

The image is a piece of concept art, or perhaps multiple pieces of concept art pieced together to appear as if it comes from a notebook. The notebook’s pages feature multiple sketches and difficult-to-read notes. On the left page, there’s a variety of spaceships, as well as what could be a giant space colony with two different colored suns behind it. On the right page is a sketch of a smartwatch of sorts with different symbols on its face....

As many know, Starfield is the first new IP from Bethesda in decades, and its releases tend to be seminal events in the industry. Skyrim, Fallout, and more have defined the company’s success, but obviously, this puts a lot of pressure on anything new from the company. This is especially true since Bethesda was acquired by Microsoft, with Todd Howard previously discussing the pressure for Starfield to be a “Platform Seller,” but if these supposed first impressions are anything to go by, perhaps it just might....

Starfield’s release date was even revealed at the E3 conference. The game is set to release on the 11th anniversary of the initial release of Skyrim, possibly hinting at the regard to which Bethesda holds Starfield. It seems as though Starfield is viewed as the next big IP for Bethesda. While Starfield’s announcement did suggest a lot about the scale of the project, it also exposes the strangeness of the circumstances under which it was announced....

This is all changing as Elon Musk’s Starlink network of satellites is steadily deployed across the planet’s orbit. Find out what it brings to the table compared to traditional satellite service providers—Viasat and HughesNet. What Makes Starlink Different From Regular Satellite Providers? When it comes to deploying communication devices into the Earth’s orbit, many obstacles have to be overcome. The highest one is the cost because the only way up there is via rockets....

Raj Talwar (remember the name) was crowned the champion of the main event. The man went off with a whopping amount of INR 49.25 Lakh, with then next participant, Ayush Garg, to follow him in the second spot. Talwas clinched the top spot among a mammoth 777 entries in total, three days after the first event, the 35K Main Event began, started in Goa. Ayush Garg would have given himself a good chance, having started in the final table as the chip leader....
