Gentry and his men committed three brain locks in rapid succession to blow a three-point lead in the final seven seconds. Rather than recite the list, here’s the damning video evidence: If you’re reading on after watching the video, here’s the review: a five-second violation, a foul-or-defend failure and a game-losing technical foul off an illegal timeout. Pelicans announcer Joel Meyers’ “Why didn’t they foul?” on Josh Jackson’s game-tying 3 was as much of a primal scream as a play-by-play call....

Pelini is also saying he was forced to resign. In a statement from Pelini to ESPN, the former FAU coach said he denied using illegal drugs to athletic director Patrick Chun, Last week, according to Chun, Pelini and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis both admitted to using illegal drugs when confronted by Chun. Pelini told ESPN in his statement that Chun said Pelini's "denial of drug use as irrelevant because I was being relieved of my duties for failure to supervise my staff....

The Penguins have a notoriously shallow prospect pool, so there’s very little help on the way. This year’s draft is one of the most important in recent franchise memory, and Brian Burke doesn’t have a ton of capital to cash in to make it count. Indeed, Pittsburgh was the fourth-oldest team in hockey last season, with its roster averaging 29.44 years old. Only the Islanders, Lightning, and Capitals were older on average last season....

That’s the only logical explanation for why, after a glorious few hours that filled fans of chaos with hope and mirth — mirth! — the Penguins’ coach failed to play Tom Sestito on Wednesday night. MORE: Top photos from the second round It would’ve been hilarious and stupid and maybe horrible, and something eminently writable would’ve happened. Instead, Sullivan had to settle for a 3-2 overtime win and a 3-1 lead over the Capitals in the Eastern Conference semifinals....

However, judging by the events of the previous three seasons, the idea of Joe taking the opportunity to have a fresh start will not last for too long and he, for sure, will be back to his obsessive and murderous ways. Alternatively, the past may creep up behind him. Before he killed Love (the mother of his son Henry, who is still alive), she made it crystal clear to Marienne (who is also surprisingly still alive) Joe was a killer, warning her to stay away....

No. 1 all-purpose back Ricky Slade announced his commitment to James Franklin and the Nittany Lions on Friday, giving Penn State 10 commits overall.

A number of court decisions have determined how the state’s voters can cast their ballots in November’s election amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But some lawyers believe these may not be enough to prevent a flood of legal challenges on Election Day and afterward, which could prevent the state’s counties from meeting the deadline to certify their election results on November 23. Matthew Haverstick, a lawyer based in Philadelphia who has argued election-related cases, told Spotlight PA that delays from litigation could mean Pennsylvania becomes “ground zero” in determining the outcome of the presidential election....

“We’re certainly concerned by the speed with which the Taliban has been moving,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters Friday afternoon. “It’s deeply concerning.” President Joe Biden, who is spending the weekend at Camp David, was briefed on the situation in Afghanistan on Friday, according to the White House. He last spoke publicly about the troop withdrawal Tuesday, telling reporters he didn’t regret his decision have all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by September 11....

Prescribed for pain relief, Percocet can induce a feeling of euphoria for the person taking it. Long-term use can lead to physical dependence and/or addiction. If taken on a long-term basis or in large amounts, the acetaminophen in Percocet can cause liver damage. This risk increases when combined with alcohol, because the liver struggles to break down both substances, which increases the risk of liver damage. When taken together, Percocet and alcohol can be dangerous for more than just your liver....

The outcome left Leicester in 14th position on 12 points from as many games, only two above the relegation zone, as their poor away form continued with a fifth defeat in six games. Fans had barely settled in their seats at Vicarage Road when Argentine forward Pereyra delivered an inch-perfect cross for Troy Deeney to head into path of Etienne Capoue, who scored with a bouncing volley from 12 metres....

The clean method of installing OS X Yosemite wipes all the data from the destination drive and replaces it with the fresh, never-before-used data from the OS X Yosemite installer. All your user data and any applications that you installed will be gone. While the clean install option may not sound like a friendly way to update a Mac to OS X Yosemite, it offers advantages that make it the preferred update path for some Mac users....

The starting XI that Ong went with can be looked at as closest as it could be to his strongest XI. Adib Zainuddin was replaced by Syazwan Zaipool but otherwise the regulars like Adam Nor Azlin, Irfan Zakaria, Syamer Kutty Abba, Nor Azam Azih and Safawi Rasid all started. It was Johor Darul Ta’zim’s Syamer who opened the scoring in the 39th minute and Malaysia held their ground until late in the second half, took the win away from Malaysia....

The soft tissue that covers a tooth that is not fully erupted is called an “operculum.” One reason this soft tissue area may become easily inflamed is that it often collects food particles and debris and it can be difficult to reach when performing oral hygiene. As it collects food particles, this dark, moist area provides the perfect medium for bacteria to grow. The tooth that is most often affected by pericoronitis is the lower third or final set of molars sometimes called wisdom teeth....

Perimenopause Symptoms The average age of menopause is 51, and most women experience perimenopause in their 40s and early 50s. Symptoms can vary, and you may be prone to some of the effects more than others. Even if it seems likely that your symptoms are due to perimenopause, it is important to see a healthcare provider. Medical illnesses such as thyroid disease, type 2 diabetes, and endometrial cancer can have similar effects....

But in the spirit of the holidays, let’s look at the bright side. There are signs that oil and food prices may actually fall in 2008. If the United States is heading for a downturn, as many economists expect, slower growth would reduce demand for oil. Moreover, speculative money may have added $10 to $20 to the price per barrel in recent months, and speculators like hedge funds are starting to unwind bets that energy prices will continue to rise....

U.S. officials still maintain that Iran is helping Iraqi Shia insurgents build bombs that are particularly deadly because they can penetrate armored vehicles. But three U.S. officials familiar with unpublished intel (unnamed when discussing sensitive info) said evidence of official Tehran involvement is “ambiguous,” in the words of one of the officials. For example, U.S. troops have been attacked by homemade bombs triggered by infrared sensors (like ones used on American burglar alarms)....

Though its features, Cortana can become really annoying at times, making you wish you never had it. Also, Cortana has raised some serious privacy concerns among the users. To work its magic, Cortana uses your personal information like your voice, writing, location, contacts, calendars, etc. With the increasing awareness among people about the business mantra “If you’re not paying for it, you are the product”, apprehensions about privacy and data security have been rising too....

You may also be able to conduct a self-screening as an initial step to seeking help and counsel from a professional. Knowing how persistent depressive disorder is diagnosed can help you better understand what you’re feeling and lead you to treatment options. Learn more about the steps to diagnosis....

Since the Persona 25th anniversary announcement, it seems Atlus’s main focus for the festivities is centered on marketing new figures or re-producing previously sold out ones. Fans are likely overwhelmed with the many figures announced last year, including the re-release of GSC figma action figures, new Persona 5 Lucrea statues, and even new GSC Persona 5 Pop Up Parade static figures. However, given that it is much easier and cost-effective to produce merchandise than develop another title in the franchise, it is not surprising for Atlus to go this route for now....

Chihiro, the Justice Arcana character of Persona 3 Portable, is one of the first new friends that players can make in the game. She’s also one of the best early Social Links to max out, and will likely be the first romance option available for those who play the male protagonist. RELATED: Atlus Says Porting Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden Was a ‘Difficult and Painstaking’ Process But all Persona games are about managing the limited amount of time available....
