The newest wave features the other half of the Noble 6 crew; Carter, Kat, and Jorge. Each figure is built with incredible detail and comes with customizable options. The customization ranges from various weapons, adjustable positioning and an additional set of hands so when the figure isn’t holding a weapon it will look more natural, rather than giving the appearance of palming an invisible ball. In addition to the extra set of hands and some frag grenades, the three Noble Sixers in this line have their respective weaponry....

The Celts reportedly are close to acquiring point guard Nate Robinson from the Nuggets for point guard Jameer Nelson. Robinson, who played for Boston in 2010 and 2011, isn’t expected to spend much time on the court, however, as he will apparently get a buyout from the Celtics, with the Clippers a potential final destination.

While Quayle was hospitalized for pulmonary blood clots in November, tests revealed an “abnormality” on his appendix. Quayle underwent an appendectomy last Wednesday and his doctors said the growth, a mucinous cystadenoma, showed no evidence of malignancy. Other medical experts, however, suggested the rare, benign tumor could help explain Quayle’s history of blood-clotting: his November hospitalization was his third such illness in the last three years. A former aide says the first episode of clotting in his leg, unreported at the time, occurred late in his vice presidency....

Ironically, the fire helped minimize the ecological damage from one of the largest tanker spills in American coastal waters. In the first days after the explosion, officials feared that the tanker might break apart and sink, unleashing its entire 38 million-gallon cargo on the Gulf of Mexico–more than three times as much oil as the Exxon Valdez spilled in Alaska last year. At the weekend, as salvage companies gingerly began preparing to siphon the remaining oil from the ruptured Number Four Center tank, more than 4....

Steam DB, a website that actively tracks what Steam users are doing during any given time period, has revealed that twice the number of PC gamers are playing Gearbox’s Borderlands 2 in comparison to Battleborn. This is particularly significant given that Borderlands 2 came out nearly four years ago, and Battleborn released less than a month ago.

The Mississippi Democrat revealed the news to reporters at the U.S. Capitol building after the committee held a morning meeting. While Thompson stated that more subpoenas could be expected soon, he did not elaborate on a specific timeline for the rest of the week. He also did also not mention any specific names that these additional subpoenas could target. It is more than likely, though, that the subpoenas will be issued to high-ranking officials who served with former President Donald Trump, many of whom the investigation has stated may provide crucial details on the events of January 6....

The report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, showed that about 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August—the highest on record since December 2000. About 534,000 health care workers quit their jobs in August, up from about 404,000 during the same month in 2020. The numbers suggest health care workers handed in their resignations in droves—fueling ongoing concerns of staffing shortages—as the highly contagious Delta variant caused COVID-19 hospitalizations to soar across the U....

Meanwhile, agents are scouring Bay Area machine shops. The Unahomer custom-molds his pipe bombs’ metal shells and would need special tools to turn them into finished devices.

With home support solidly behind them, the 47-year-old former Morocco international defender is beaming with confidence that his charges will have an upper hand against the debutants. “Tomorrow’s (today) match will be a strong and difficult one so if we want to play in the semis we have to deserve it by winning against Namibia,” the former Raja Casablanca man said ahead of the first quarterfinals match. He added: “Namibia are a team with balance and keep the ball well so we will have to keep our own balance as well and work towards breaking down their defense....

One of the new features that debuted in Monster Hunter Rise is the Palamute, a canine companion hunters can bring with them alongside the series’ feline Palico.
