With Syracuse up 53-50 inside of three minutes remaining, a game in which the Orange trailed 47-46 at one point of the second half, Cooney passed from the left wing into Baye-Moussa Keita, who was parked at the free throw line. Cooney then darted to the top of the circle, wriggling free for an 3-pointer with 2:25 left that hit nothing but net. MORE: Box score | Midseason All-Americans...
The facility in the 2003 satellite photo, taken by the commercial remote-sensing company GeoEye, appears identical to the one pictured in satellite images snapped weeks before the Israeli strike, with one notable distinction: the recent photos include what analysts have described as a pumping station along the Euphrates. Nuclear experts say Syria probably put in the pumping station to cool a reactor, which many believe was based on a North Korean design and was years from completion....
Speaking Monday with China’s Phoenix Television, Assad accused Washington of backing “terrorists” in Syria and of exploiting oil fields the Pentagon is occupying in the country’s east. He warned that Syrian groups outside of the government’s command would eventually be persuaded to reconcile with Damascus, meaning “it’s only natural that there will be no prospect for an American presence.” “However, if they remained, they have their experience in Iraq to consider: There will be a popular resistance, and they will pay the price,” Assad said....
Syrian permanent representative to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari derided U.S. actions in his country during a Wednesday virtual session of the U.N. Security Council. As Biden was sworn in in Washington, Jaafari called for an immediate change in Washington’s foreign policy in Syria, where a multi-sided civil war with U.S. involvement neared its 10th anniversary. “The American occupation forces continue to plunder Syria’s wealth of oil, gas and agricultural crops, burning and destroying what it cannot steal,” Jaafari said, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency....

The 32-year-old forward left Game 4 of the Caps’ Eastern Conference first-round series after a hit from Hurricanes forward Warren Foegele sent him headfirst into the boards. Oshie stayed down on the ice for several minutes and left soon after holding his shoulder and arm area. Capitals star Alex Ovechkin had to be held back from getting into it with Hurricanes players after the incident. “If the guy’s hurt, it’s a dirty play,” Ovechkin told reporters after the game....

Virat Kohli has decided to step down as T20I captain after the ongoing T20 World Cup. With New Zealand defeating Afghanistan on Sunday, the Men in Blue now have no chance to qualify for the semi-finals, making today’s dead rubber an anti-climactic swansong of Kohli’s four-year stint at the helm. Previewing the match for Dafa News via his social-media handles, Sanjay Manjrekar remarked: Virat Kohli played his first match as T20 captain in 2017....
The same lake was the scene of a large explosion on Thursday, after magma came into contact with the lake’s much cooler water. It launched a dark grayish plume of material 1,000 meters into the air, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, or Phivolcs, said. A number of other smaller blasts took place throughout the evening, each producing plumes that rose around 200 meters above the lake. It led Phivolcs to recommend the evacuation of people from high-risk areas such as Agoncillo and Laurel, and the Taal volcano island....

Here’s how it works. First, choose one of 28 categories of humor from a laser disc –say, “The Best of Henny Youngman,” “My Husband, What a Jerk” or, for the under-16 set, perky, clean riddles and “knock-knock” jokes. Fork over 10 bucks and up pops your script on a TelePrompTer. If your live audience acts like an oil painting, not to worry. Comedy karaoke gives you a rousing emcee’s intro, music, wild applause and nonstop chuckles....
In a conversation with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick briefly addressed criticism surrounding the release of the Grand Theft Auto trilogy. Cramer, who is entirely focused on the financial impact of the trilogy’s launch and reception, asks how Take-Two can “smooth out” the long-term view of the company. Zelnick’s response is surprisingly obtuse. First, he mentions that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is “not a new title,” to make clear to Cramer that the remasters shouldn’t be viewed in the same way as a new AAA Grand Theft Auto release....
But Iraq has indefinitely postponed a meeting with Annan that was due to take place in New York this week to discuss inspections. For the moment, at least, Baghdad no longer believes the threat of a U.S.-led war to be credible. “They’ve outmaneuvered the Americans for now, so they’re not going to play the inspection card,” a senior U.N. diplomat told NEWSWEEK. “They will save that until they believe that the Americans can be taken seriously....

Harvoni is the first FDA-approved HCV drug that does not need to be taken with either pegylated interferon (peg-interferon) or ribavirin, two drugs traditionally used for HCV combination therapy, both of which had high toxicity profiles....
This Hollywood power clash has been playing out for years. Two weeks ago it got ugly. Creative Artists announced that France’s Credit Lyonnais, the world’s eighth largest bank, would join its glittering client list (running from Michael Jackson to Coca-Cola). CAA will help manage Credit Lyonnais’s troubled $3 billion portfolio of entertainment loans, which includes Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and its now dormant sister company United Artists, as well as advise it on future investments....

The Afghan Armed Forces (AAF)—which has long failed to live up to the hopes and promises of its American backers—appears unable to stem the tide or retain the billions of dollars in U.S.-made weapons given to help their ongoing fight. Afghan National Army (ANA) defeats undermine the government, bolster the Taliban’s reputation, and hand the group new equipment and weapons. The closing stages of the 20-year war in Afghanistan could yet see Taliban forces using U....
