Austen, who covers the Rays and Magic, appeared on Thursday’s live edition of the Rundown and shared multiple racist and disparaging comments as part of the broadcast. A person with knowledge of the situation told Sporting News’ Michael McCarthy that Austen will not appear on any Fox Sports platforms again.

The new Magic: The Gathering set is themed around a school for mages and, similar to the houses in the Harry Potter universe, Strixhaven features five colleges that makeup the established color theme archetypes for the Limited format. Each of the five two-color combos has its own theme and style and, although players can obviously splash additional colors while playing, each archetype will feature a lot of synergy within its own color cards....

Both players dominated the front corners in the opening game of the match. Soliman won the British Junior U19 Open in January and he fought admirably despite two stroke decisions going against him. Even a knee cut at 10-10 could not deter him. He sealed the first game 15-13 after 40 minutes. After the tight first game, the third-seeded Mahesh’s exploits over the last few days caught up with him as he looked jaded and seemed a tad slow-footed....

On ‘China Feels the Heat’: “So I have a fantasy. That Olympic sponsors, investing millions of dollars, can be outraged by more than poor profit reports. Let them insist that China turn around its human-rights violations. Imagine capitalism at its noblest.” Danielle Karson, Rockville, Md. How Green Is Our Election? Regardless of who is elected in November, the candidates all seem to be putting the hybrid cart before the horse (“Just the Tree of Us,” April 14)....

Beijing has already become lenient since last week about the zero-tolerance strategy. It announced an end to mandatory quarantine in central facilities, large-scale lockdowns, and a broad relaxation of testing procedures. Now the state-run ‘Communications Itinerary Card’ has gone offline since Tuesday at 12 AM. It was used to track people’s travel to high-risk covid prone areas based on their phone network signal. The ‘Itinerary Card’ was the most important part of the zero-Covid policy of China....

Imagine, for a moment, what the world looks like to Iran. The country is surrounded by powerful states with nuclear weapons—Israel, India, Pakistan, China and Russia. Across one of its borders stand some 170,000 American troops (in Iraq), across another are more than 50,000 NATO troops (in Afghanistan). The United States has been bitterly opposed to the Iranian regime for three decades. The current American president has made clear time and again that he regards the Tehran government as evil and wishes that it would fall, and Congress set aside $75 million last year to “promote democracy” in Iran....

What Is Chicago95? Customization is one of the great joys of using Linux because you’re free to make essentially any change you want. If you feel at home in the Windows 10 environment, for example, you can convert your Linux desktop to look nearly identical. But what if you want to go back to Microsoft’s golden days? Chicago95 is a theme for Linux that supplies a host of icons, backgrounds, sounds, and other relics from the Windows 95 operating system....

1. Use SSH Tunneling Instead of Remote Connection The MySQL service runs on port 3306 by default. When you install MySQL, you will see that port 3306 is in listening mode for all connections. As it stands, the MySQL port is open to the outside world. That’s why you should set the MySQL service to listen only to the local address. Since servers are usually run on a Linux distribution, the examples below are based on a Debian distribution....

Each kiosk has a database of more than 2,000 works from MoMA’s permanent collection, accessible via high-quality, high-resolution digital images. The touch-screen computers allow viewers to examine the cataloged artwork more closely than they might in person. Touch a piece of art pictured and it expands to fill the screen. Magnifying and enlarging functions can then be dragged onto the image with a fingertip to take an even closer look....

Max is known for going through intense moments of combat and dangerous situations, which puts this series amongst action fans’ favorite movies....

The star performed as Riddick Moss in NXT before his arrival on the main roster. Madcap was then repackaged as a comedy act alongside Happy Corbin, the 32-year-old would wear suspenders and crack jokes as Corbin’s sidekick. Madcap recently appeared on an episode of The Danny Bonaduce & Sarah Morning Show and revealed how he came up with his new name in WWE. He disclosed that “Moss” was inspired by NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss and that the repackaging of his character came from former CEO Vince McMahon....

With “Madden 23” releasing on Aug. 19, ratings are starting to trickle out, starting with the wide receivers on Monday, July 18. Leading the pack after leaving the Pack is Adams: Now with the Raiders, Adams is “Madden’s” best wideout, earning a 99 overall rating for the second consecutive season. He has competition at the top, though: Rams’ Cooper Kupp pulls in at a 98 overall, a year after having one of the best wide receiver seasons in NFL history....

The trailer highlights many top players and the first look at their new jerseys, with greats like Tom Brady and rookies Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, and Chase Young featured, giving fans a first look at them with their new teams. The trailer also teases new features, including an all-out control ball-carrier skill stick, new pass-rush control, realistic open-field tackling, and the return of user-controlled celebrations. These features may aim to fix some of the problems that have affected Madden gameplay before and give players even more control on the field....

Levante president Quico Catalan admitted before this match that the difference between the two teams was “abysmal”. The Valencia-based side won promotion to return to La Liga in the summer and theirs is one of the lowest budgets in the Primera Division. Madrid, meanwhile, are the world’s richest club and boast the strongest squad in Europe. Real 13/2 to beat APOEL 2-0 However, if there is one weakness in that squad, it is the lack of a centre-forward to provide back-up to Karim Benzema....

The Italian international was checked by specialist professor Mariani at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome Monday, and was advised to have a surgery to fix the problem, reports Xinhua. Napoli expect him to return to action when the Serie A resumes at the eighth round after the international break. Maggio, born in 1982, has featured in two League games and one Champions League tie so far this term....

Magic sets that take place outside of the established Magic: The Gathering planes and lore have been a hot topic of conversation over the last year. Despite the fact that some players feel those types of themed sets break the game’s immersion, they don’t seem to be going away anytime soon. A decent portion of Showcase 2021 was dedicated to Universes Beyond and some of the new projects underway for that line....

This is a music production suite, handling recording, manipulation of samples and creation of finished media. This isn’t an ideal application to come to cold, without having used similar software. It has a complex set of controls, not always in the most obvious places. For example, although you have full transport control – start, stop, pause, wind – of the current project from the main editing screen, overall volume adjustment is only available from the suite’s mixer, which has to be called up separately....

England looked to be taking another stride towards the semi-finals when they reduced Sri Lanka to 232-9 with Jofra Archer (3-52), Mark Wood (3-40) and Adil Rashid (2-45) doing the bulk of the damage. Angelo Mathews top scored with a patient unbeaten 85 following a rapid 49 from Avishka Fernando in his first match of the tournament, but Sri Lanka’s score of 232-9 appeared to be below par. Veteran quick Malinga proved he can still be the man for the big occasion, though, taking 4-43 and becoming only the fourth man to take 50 World Cup wickets as England slumped from 170-5 to 212 all out with three overs remaining....

It could all have been so different had Mahali Jasuli not made the hard decision before the start of the 2018 Malaysian football season. With a year left on his contract with Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), Mahali could have stayed with the reigning league champions but decided that the loan move to PKNS FC was the right one for him at his point of his career. A couple of 90 minutes and three goals in all competitions later, Mahali has once again earned his way back into the national team....
