Travis County Judge Samuel T. Biscoe joined several local leaders Monday in urging Governor Greg Abbott to roll back reopenings ahead of the July 4 weekend. He penned a letter to Governor Abbott Monday saying hospitals in the area surpassed 70 percent capacity and the advice of physicians and health officials is to immediately pull back on the state’s reopening process. Biscoe said the county needs to enforce 25 percent occupancy limits and mask requirements as designated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

“We only have one president at a time under our Constitution,” Patricia Millett, one of the three judges on the panel, said on Tuesday. “That incumbent president… has made the judgment and is best positioned, as the Supreme Court has told us, to make that call as to the interests of the executive branch.” “This all boils down to who decides,” Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson added. “Who decides when it is in the best interest of the United States to disclose presidential records?...

With his team backed up in the end zone, Jones made a catch that most humans couldn’t make with five arms. It was just one of his 13 catches on the day, and just a small chunk of his 135 receiving yards. The Falcons came from behind to take the road game after they were down 20-10 heading into the fourth quarter.

According to the MLB.com’s Mariners reporter Daniel Kramer, the Mariners inked Julio Rodriguez, the frontrunner for the AL Rookie of the Year, to a massive extension that has the potential to grow to $470 million over the course of the deal, which would be the largest contract in MLB history. In addition, the deal could reach as many as 18 years, which would also be the longest contract in MLB history....

The characters in question - Yoruichi Shihoin and Giorno Giovanna - had their files added to the PC version of Jump Force recently. Despite not technically being available, dataminers were able to access their files and get them working. Both appear to be otherwise complete, though elements of Giorno are clearly unfinished. RELATED: 10 Fighting Games That Are Better Than Their Metascore Surprisingly, Bandai Namco opted to fully acknowledge the two characters’ inclusion and confirm them on Twitter, while also admitting that Giorno, in particular, is still in development and may function differently once he actually releases....

Biscuit Krueger is a supporting character in the anime series Hunter X Hunter, and the final character to round off the Jump Force DLC 1 pack. Unlike Seto Kaiba and All Might, whose animes only have other one character currently in the game (Yami Yugi/Yugi Muto and Izuku Midoriya, respectively), Hunter X Hunter’s Biscuit joins a pretty well-rounded representation of Gon Freecss, Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika, and Hisoka Morow. Kaiba, All Might, and Biscuit will be available in Jump Force on May 28, but some will be able to download them a little sooner....

Jump Force was released last year to middling reviews from critics, but the game has sloughed off that criticism, earned a devoted following, and continues to be supported through DLC.

Fans looking to play as their favorite character from Naruto, Hunter X Hunter, or My Hero Academia get the chance to here....

Their combined score of 214, put them in top spot in the team event, a point ahead of Team Cyprus. Tuesday will see two more qualifying rounds followed by the individual final....

Fans began to grow restless. Was a career MLS-er rapidly approaching 30 really deserving of the roster spot and playing time being invested in him? Was he a one-dimensional hack getting exposed when the team wasn't tailored to his strengths? Public support for Wondolowski began to plummet outside Northern California. And then came a friendly against Guatemala, and Wondo broke his duck. After that, a misspelled name on the back of his jersey and a hat trick against Belize, then a brace against Cuba, and the San Jose Earthquakes star found himself exiting the CONCACAF Gold Cup with a winner's medal and share of the Golden Boot....

The rental aid has reached almost a million households, and the speed of dispersion increased from June to July, according to recent data. However, concerns were raised that many could face evictions as they await assistance, and the Supreme Court ponders a challenge to the federal eviction moratorium. Lawmakers authorized $46.5 billion to allocate toward federal rental assistance earlier in 2021, the Associated Press reported. Of those funds, $5.1 billion were distributed through July, an increase from the $3 billion delivered through June and the $1....

But they’re solving them in very different ways. In Russia, politics is a free-for-all, with Yeltsin’s supporters and foes (grouped around Vice President Aleksandr Rutskoi) accusing each other of massive corruption and dictatorial aspirations. There are no generally accepted rules, no consensus on who should have what powers and no stability in the country’s basic political institutions. Poland is faring much better. As chaotic as Polish politics can be, people play by the new rules of the game....

Any form of livestream has the potential to go awry. A Twitch stream especially can be interrupted by anything at all. From one of many pesky ads to police knocking at TFue’s door, it seems part and parcel of the Twitch experience to see some kind of interruption during a stream. For BabblingBros this rule rang true as his Just Chatting stream was interrupted by his sister collapsing down the stairs....

As part of a press conference, video of which was shared on Twitter by 11 Alive Atlanta, Thomas revealed that he was “sick to [his] stomach” when thinking about Woods’ car crash. “It hurts to see one of your—I mean, now one of my closest friends—get in an accident. I just hope he’s alright,” Thomas said. In his brief remarks, Thomas also called Woods one of his “closest friends” and sent well wishes to Woods’ two children, Charlie and Sam....

The two-time major winner started the day 1 over par and six shots off co-leaders Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen; he lost another shot on Hole 4 and was none too pleased United States Golf Association officials didn’t allow him a relief drop after his ball landed inches within a fairway drain.

Nurkic had 20 points for his fourth straight game with 20 or more and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the New York Knicks 111-101 on Monday night. The 7-foot Bosnian center has been on a roll lately, averaging 21 points and 11.8 rebounds in the last six games for Portland. “I work hard for that,” Nurkic said when asked about his recent success. “I got in foul trouble tonight, but I keep myself in the game....

Nicolas Pareja gave the hosts a ninth-minute lead but they had Franco Vazquez sent off in the 36th minute for two bookings and Claudio Marchisio equalised in first-half stoppage time with a controversial penalty.

Bonuccio fired Juventus in front in the 85th minute and Mandzukic completed their win in stoppage time....

Four days after their two-year unbeaten home run was ended by Lazio, Juve were in more trouble when goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon saved at foot of Gelson Martins but the ball hit Alex Sandro and went straight into the net.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a fine brace, the second of which will be talked about in the decades to come. He scored his first in the third minute of the game and then doubled his tally with a stunning overhead kick. Marcelo added the third for Real Madrid which may prove to be the final nail in the coffin for Juventus and was simply a cherry on top for Real Madrid’s stunning away performance....
