See photos of all of the gear below. According to the news release, "100 percent of net proceeds (up to $1 million) generated by the 2014 BHM Collection during the month of February will go to the new NIKE Ever Higher Fund, a donor advised fund administered by Charities Aid Foundation of America (CAF America), a national 501(c)3 public charity." The shoes will begin appearing on court during games on Jan....

The patients at the Republican Clinical Hospital of Vladikavkaz in North Ossetia, in the Caucasus region, were aged between 48 and 85 and had been in a serious condition, according to Tass. When the accident occurred on Monday, there were 71 ICU patients and 13 of them had been on ventilation. Among the deceased were eight women and one man. Sergei Minyailo, the republic’s acting head, said that an oxygen pipe about 5 feet underground had burst, interrupting the patients’ supply....

This vehicle kind of looks like the moving ball from “Jurassic World” or a hamster ball on wheels. But if you want the technical terms, here’s how Epic Games described it in its official release: This single seat vehicle is found at Expedition Outposts and around pirate camp loot stashes Use the attached Grappler and Boost functionality to pull yourself up cliffs or swing through the trees The driver is protected from damage, but The Baller is vulnerable to enemy weapon fire....

Though the current internal combustion engine version of the model is leaving showrooms, the name could make a return on the automaker’s new electric vehicle, slated for arrival in the coming years. The eighth-generation Maxima arrived to much fanfare in 2016. Its aesthetics earned instant praise and its luxe interior continued to improve as the model aged thanks to numerous upgrades along the way. During the eighth generation’s near-decade run on the market, large car sales have taken a plunge, due in large part to the growing popularity of sport utility vehicles (SUVs)....

Those moments of insight don’t always come easy to prospective students. But the campus visit has become a rite of passage for applicants. Tours and informal wanderings can offer all sorts of cues: about the social scene or fashion code, about architecture or food, and of course about the weather. It’s unscientific, to be sure. Yet it gives impressions any decision may rest on. And for the dedicated investigator, attending classes, taking the formal campus tour, staying overnight in a dorm and just hanging out–all these can do much to inoculate a freshman against the buyer’s remorse that occasionally sets in every September....

Jeff Kwatinetz, who co-founded the Big3 with Ice Cube, caused a stir Tuesday during the league’s weekly conference call when he said a “credible source” told him the Lakers legend could be joining the league next season. Kwatinetz’s announcement came with a huge caveat, however. MORE: Kobe turns $6M investment into $200M windfall Here’s what Kwatinetz and Ice Cube said on the call (via Yahoo Sports’ Ben Rohrbach): This latest rumor followed speculation earlier this month about Bryant coming out of retirement to play with LeBron James....

But that was the challenge for the Blazers as they came rolling into Indiana on Friday. Though Portland fell to the Pacers in overtime, 118-113, the team still boasts an already impressive resume: a 35-15 record, which includes a 5-3 mark against Miami, Indiana, Oklahoma City and San Antonio. These are heady times for the Blazers, a snake-bitten franchise for much of the last decade, having lost potential franchise-making stars like Greg Oden and Brandon Roy to a series of knee injuries....

He suggested the Argentine national anthem should be played instead of the Mexican one when El Tri takes to field at Estadio Azteca, due to the presence of two Argentina-born players in Mexico’s squad. Dely Valdes then retracted on Wednesday and pleaded for “thousands” of apologies for any offense he caused on Wednesday. But the talking is almost over, and while the words may have wound up Christian “Chaco” Gimenez slightly – he called them “disrespectful” - Mexico’s biggest opponent so far this disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign has been itself....

“That showed clearly a relation because against Feyenoord we could think ‘OK, it’s a different profile of football.’ But today was against a typical Premier League team and Micki could perform this way. “So we are really happy because we know the reason why we bought him and we were waiting for his adaptation to the English game and it looks like it’s coming.” Having had a hand in much of United’s better play, including laying on their first two goals with neat play on both occasions, there is nothing more the attacker can do to prove he has the tools to be a success in the English top flight....

Usually one of the busiest bazaars for new movies made without studio financing, the Toronto festival now resembles the tail-spinning stock market: sellers far outnumber buyers. The result is that halfway through North America’s most important festival, only a handful of films have been acquired by U.S. distributors–and none for purchase prices exceeding even $1 million. Some blame a deficit of obviously commercial movies, and others say some of the best works–like Brazil’s “City of God,” directed by Fernando Meirelles, or Spain’s “Talk to Her,” directed by Pedro Almodovar–struck distribution deals well before the festival commenced....

WINGERT: One of the surprises in the book is that you recommend discussing the benefits of tobacco with kids. SCHWEBEL: We need to stop pretending that tobacco and other drugs don’t feel good. People use tobacco and other drugs to meet their needs. We have to show that we get it, that we understand it’s tempting, and then help them think more clearly about it. Tell them about the health risks, but also stress the more immediate negatives, that their clothing will smell, their teeth will get yellow, their breath will be terrible, that most teens prefer to date nonsmokers....

Suggestions of a new £74 million bid for the Guinea international are incorrect, with the Reds having not followed up their second offer, which was tabled and rejected last Monday. Odds on LFC to win the league That £66m proposal was not the limit of the Merseysiders’ financial will to land the 22-year-old, but with the Bundesliga side again underscoring that no amount of money would force them to sell Keita, increasing the figure would prove unavailing....

The attack was a grisly reminder that it’s dangerous to stand down in the war on terror. The message was reinforced later that day when Al-Jazeera broadcast Al Qaeda’s Ayman Al-Zawahiri threatening new attacks against America and the “lifelines of its economy.” Al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s top deputy, boasted of a series of strikes the group has been able to pull off since September 11, including the bombing of a synagogue in Tunisia and an attack on French nationals in Karachi....

With the recent wrap of the upcoming series, many members of the Picard crew shared photos from the set, including showrunner Michael Chabon, who posted a picture from the Vasquez Rocks outside of Los Angeles—famed by Trekkers as the location of Captain James T. Kirk’s battle with the Gorn in Star Trek: The Original Series episode “Arena.” Picard cinematographer Philip Lanyon shared a photo on his Instagram account of a wrap gift: a slate, or clapperboard, for the Trek series, signed by cast members, including Stewart....
