It will be the 10th consecutive year the Birmingham venue has hosted Finals Day and a packed crowd will enjoy a stellar line-up. Lancashire Lightning and Yorkshire Vikings are up in the first semi-finals. It is the first time English cricket’s oldest and fiercest domestic rivalry will be played out on Finals Day. Yorkshire have the added incentive of being one of only five out of the 18 first-class counties not to have won the competition....

However, the holders couldn’t get going in the tournament. They were bowled out for only 55 in their tournament opener against England, and never really recovered from that. They lost against South Africa, Sri Lanka and Australia to finish a dismal fifth in the Group 1 points table. Their only win in the tournament came against Bangladesh. Considering the talent at their disposal, the defending champions massively underwhelmed at the T20 World Cup 2021....

It’s difficult to say for sure how large a factor playing video games was in some of these deaths, since heart disease is the #1 most common cause of death worldwide and people die of heart failure while doing all sorts of activities. That said, it’s no coincidence that so many of these deaths occur in players who have spent days on end playing video games without taking a break....

For the last three weeks, Jay-Z’s ““Vol. 2 . . . Hard Knock Life’’ has been the best-selling album in the country, just one of several hip-hop albums that have dominated the charts all fall. While high-profile rock bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Hole and Marilyn Manson have had disappointing sales, hip-hop acts like Lauryn Hill, OutKast and the various proteges of New Orleans entrepreneur Master P have conquered. Though rap still accounts for just over 11 percent of all music sales, three of this week’s top-five albums are rap, and the genre now outpaces country music, with sales of more than 54 million albums in the first three quarters of 1998....

Private welfare offices like this MAXIMUS, Inc., operation are the latest in delicate political experiments. Liberal skeptics once squelched any notion that profitmaking firms could perform sensitive welfare functions. But that was many budget cuts ago. Today red tape and urban woes, dramatized by the Los Angeles riots, have forced frazzled government officials to listen to anyone with an M.B.A. The entrepreneurial rush is on: from California, where maximus has cleared a $1 million profit moving welfare clients into training and jobs, to New York, where America Works produces annual revenues of $2 million (while getting 68 percent of its clients off welfare)....

In fact, the (relatively) recently-announced Tales of the Walking Dead anthology series has just picked up steam by adding another big name to its growing roster of talent.

With a focus on telling new stories with new and returning characters, Tales of the Walking Dead looks like it will offer some fresh new takes on the well-established universe of The Walking Dead....

But problems on the track and trouble on pit road can get them riled up. Here’s some of the in-car scanner chatter from the Camping World RV 500 at Talladega, as well as some postrace twitter conversations.

A little more than a year ago, another PBS documentary, called ““The Way West,’’ by Ric Burns, Ken’s brother, covered the same ground, only better and in a more economical six hours. This seems a colossal duplication of air time and money by PBS, but the brothers Burns (who collaborated on ““The Civil War’’) are reputedly rivals, and clearly the fact that one of them wanted to do the West wasn’t going to stop the other guy from doing it, too....

A wise man once told me that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. OK, it was the voiceover guy in a Head and Shoulders commercial, but he was pretty convincing. He was also pretty wrong. Masahiro Tanaka got seven chances (read: innings) to make a first impression during his MLB debut last Friday. It's a good thing, too, because Tanaka got off to a rough start when the first batter he faced, Melky Cabrera, took him deep without even eating pregame steroids (I assume)....
