Noel (who stands at nearly 7-feet tall) used his height advantage on the kids (not 7-feet tall) to drive past them and slam the ball in their faces.

The Dahmer limited series, which premieres on Netflix Wednesday, was co-created by filmmaker Ryan Murphy of Glee and American Horror Story fame. Peters appeared in American Horror Story for several seasons and also worked with Murphy in the series Pose. Dahmer is reported to have murdered at least 17 men in his Milwaukee apartment between 1978 and 1991, and his victims were usually black, Latino or Asian men and boys, according to Biography....
It was shared following a special live countdown event on YouTube, which gave viewers the chance to become makeshift bounty hunters and unlock the trailer themselves. It also saw lead stars John Cho, Daniella Pineda and Mustafa Shakir give them a helping hand along the way. The trailer shared a number of interesting plot points, including a whole slew of bounties as well as unexpected adjustments to their backstories....
Netflix seems to pride itself on introducing a plethora of cheesy holiday films to its library as early as October. One, in particular, which was released in 2020, may be the closest you’ll come to finding a Thanksgiving-themed holiday film. Holidate, which is rated TV-MA and definitely isn’t suited for family viewing, covers just about every holiday. That might seem like a cheat, but it still makes it a possible contender for your Thanksgiving movie night....
But don’t expect any trade talks to include point guard Deron Williams. According to ESPN New York, the Nets had preliminary talks last week with the Rockets about center Omer Asik and guard Jeremy Lin, but the talks gained no steam because the Rockets wanted Williams.

It wasn’t so much the score—103-86—but more the utter lifelessness with which the Nets played in the wake of learning that center Brook Lopez, the team’s most potent offensive weapon, would be out for the year with a broken foot. Jason Kidd, the much-addled and oft-criticized rookie coach whose agent (Jeff Schwartz, who also represents Nets star Deron Williams) had lobbied so deftly for him to get the job this past summer, met the media looking like a man who had little left to lose....
Alonso: Ronaldo is welcome at Bayern! The Bundesliga champions started the season with eight straight wins in all competitions but two separate runs of going three games without a victory has seen them surrender their place at the top of the German top flight, while they will finish second in their Champions League group behind Atletico Madrid. Bayern finished last season 10 points ahead of nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund but are now three points behind the Bundesliga’s newest sensation, RB Leipzig, who have rocketed to the top of the table in their first season in the division....
If you’ve ever wondered how our minds and bodies collaborate, allowing us to consciously move, feel, and think, it all begins with neurons. This article provides an overview of neurons, their structure, types, and how they work. Neuron Structure Most neurons have three parts: a cell body, an axon, and dendrites. The Cell Body The cell body of neuron contains the nucleus. The nucleus contains our genetic information. It also includes the cytoplasm, which is the fluid that houses the majority of cellular material within the neuron....
Polian received unsportsmanlike penalties in the third and fourth quarters Saturday, each for arguing calls with officials. WEEK 2 BESTS: ACC | Big Ten | Big 12 | Pac-12 | SEC “I don’t apologize for my passion.

Burton issued this special delivery in the first half vs. the Bears. Oh. My. Goodness.
Shanahan, who coordinated the NFL’s highest-scoring offense last season, has lots of experience leading offenses: He had OC stints with the Texans (2008-2009), Redskins (2010-2013), Browns (2014) and Falcons (2015-16). MORE: Super Bowl collapse won’t define Kyle Shanahan as he takes over 49ers Rapoport noted that Shanahan intends on hiring Falcons offensive assistant Mike McDaniel as the team’s “run-game guru,” and Rich Scangarello as the quarterbacks coach. The Falcons scored 540 points in the regular season, tied with the 2000 Rams for the seventh-highest scoring offense in NFL history....
Like supplicants before the altar of medical respectability, rolfers, acupuncturists, homeopaths, herbalists, therapeutic-touch practitioners, massage therapists and others have besieged the NIH with requests to have their healing arts scrutinized by the scientific method. In coming months the NIH will sift through dozens of alternative treatments and funnel its $2 million congressional appropriation to the most promising for pilot studies. Just figuring out how to study crystal healing or guided imagery therapy will be controversial....
The collection’s best piece is set at a moment when this heady future seemed impossible, during Styron’s Marine training in 1944. It opens on the medical ward, where Styron’s been diagnosed with syphilis—the “great pox” whose contraction would prevent a guy from ever making officer. Even on the venereal wing, syphilis had a dubious distinction. It was rare, which meant the getter must have gotten it in the most squalid of ways....
And it not only favors the drivers who win the most races from year to year. It also favors drivers who excel on certain tracks, who are great on late restarts and who have the knack for producing a surprise victory on occasion. Who does it not favor? Drivers who rely on consistency to make the Chase and have trouble winning races on a consistent basis. Here’s a look at the drivers who could be helped most by the new win-based system....
The criteria, which is preliminary, was published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases in September. For the report, researchers analyzed data on more than 60 different laboratory variables collected from 513 hospitalized patients who were positive for COVID-19— 64 of which developed a cytokine storm. Those variables included factors like white blood cell count, metabolic enzyme activity, and markers of inflammation and respiratory function. Based on the data, the researchers developed a genetic algorithm to identify cut-off values for each laboratory variable to determine levels that may predict a cytokine storm....
But while McCourt is plainly disquieted, he is not surprised. Since the publication of his memoir in 1996, he has been besieged by such ironies. First off, his tender account of childhood poverty has sold millions (2.3 million copies in the United States) and made millions ($1 million for the film rights alone). The book won a Pulitzer Prize and lifted McCourt from the pleasant life of a retired high-school English teacher to the klieg-lit summits of celebrity....
To test this idea, Franceschini created a robotic insect with an electronic eye for navigation. Tethered to a tiny arm, which it can lift and drag in response to commands like “nose-down” or “nose-up,” it has behaved in the lab just like butterflies, which are known, for example, to fly down across the bottom of narrow canyons, rather than over them. Franceschini says the robot’s abilities might prove useful in unpiloted spacecraft, airplanes or submarines....
This is what amounts to the wild side of Wall Street in the 1990s. It’s not yet clear bow widespread these new abuses are, but one thing is evident: despite its promises after the 1987 stock-market crash, the securities industry has failed to police itself adequately. Now, after years of waiting for changes from within the industry, Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission are at least talking tough. New SEC chief Arthur Levitt says he wants to change the agency’s emphasis from protecting the securities industry to protecting the consumer....
