Four police departments in the state have been asking the public to refrain from inundating their 911 lines with baseless rumors claiming anti-fascist activists are behind the catastrophic blazes. The raging wildfires, spurred by dry weather and extreme winds, have led to at least 500,000 evacuations and are predicted to end in mass fatalities. Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts announced on Saturday that deputy Mark Nikolai has been placed on administrative leave for issuing “inappropriate statements” about the origin of the fires....

The 28-year-old man called 911 at around 7 p.m on Saturday after he accidentally struck himself with the machete while hiking in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said in a post on Facebook. The man, who was not identified, had been traveling with another person when the accident occurred and he started bleeding. The pair immediately wrapped the man’s wound and began to hike out of the area, but they were a couple of miles from the trailhead, the sheriff’s office said....

The nerves and blood vessels that are most commonly damaged by prostate cancer treatments are very important for achieving an erection but are not very important for achieving orgasm. Therefore, though there is the occasional man who may be unable to achieve orgasm after prostate cancer treatment, the vast majority will still have this sexual function. It’s important to note that the prostate is the gland that produces most of the fluid that makes up semen....

Seventh-seeded Zverev, who made it to the fourth round at Melbourne last year, got better as the year progressed and will take on Italian, Marco Cecchinato at the Margaret Court Arena. The two have never met before, and although the German’s big serves and groundstroke winners should be powerful enough to earn him a place in the second round, Sascha needs to watch his second serve which has let him down a fair bit in the past....

Both Zverev and Thiem registered straight-set first-round victories and the Austrian will be up against local hero Alex Bolt at the Melbourne Arena. Thiem’s opponent in the second-round thrilled his fans at Melbourne by getting past world no. 42, Albert Ramos-Vinolas in a gruelling five-setter and the Aussie wildcard will be sure to have much of the crowd behind him on Thursday morning. Producing yet another upset, however, will be quite an ask for Bolt given that Thiem is now under the tutelage of countryman Thomas Muster and the potent combination cuts quite a formidable profile....

The world No. 1 had to battle past Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round to keep his bid for a first Australian Open title since 2009 alive. Nadal was yet to drop a set, but Kyrgios, who donned a Kobe Bryant jersey during the warmup in tribute to late Los Angeles Lakers star, proved to be an even harder test than expected for the 33-year-old. Having won the first set, the Spaniard lost the second and required a tie-break in the remaining two, eventually defeating the No....

Being a seed at a Grand Slam typically shields you from other seeded players until the latter stages of the event. It also allows tennis critics and fans to predict future matchups during the tournament. With world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz not playing at Melbourne Park, here is what you need to know about how the men’s seeds looked this year. How do the Australian Open seedings work?

This is a mirror image of the auto market in America, where the plants that best resemble Buick’s Shanghai operation are run by foreign labels like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and BMW in the sun belt, not Michigan. These transplants are the reason that the U.S. automotive sector employs more people today than it did in 1990 and delivers 55 percent more output, despite the decline of Detroit. Taken together, however, the stories of GM in Shanghai, and Toyota in America, offer a simple lesson: the problem with U....

Two-year-old Juelz Gonzalez died in February after suffering a gunshot wound to her face when police were initially told that the child shot herself in a tragic accident. However, an autopsy revealed that she could not have shot herself because the gunshot was from a distance—not at close proximity, local television news station KABB reported. The toddler’s mother, 35-year-old Jessica Cantu, was arrested on Friday and faces a new charge of child endangerment, according to Bexar County records....

The art of Waterbending is generally evaluated according to four major subcategories, namely: Functional, Combative, Healing and Bloodbending. As the name suggests, Bloodbending is usually left for the morally deficient characters and is not a prerequisite for mastering Waterbending (unless Yakone happens to be the teacher). 10 Yue, Tui & La: The Moon And Ocean Spirits This is more of an honorable mention than anything else because, at the end of the day, Waterbending would not be possible without the Moon and Ocean Spirits!...

Given that most of society’s connection to a film is based on the story and characters, one would think that how much viewers connected to the film on an emotional level would be the main point of interest around any big film. After all, no matter what a film achieves, an impactful storyline has proven to be the strongest way for a film to find lingering relevance among society. So then, why is it that the story (which unpacks quite a lot in its over three hours of run time) is getting so little acknowledgment from the media?...

Avatar 2 is one of the first movies to resume filming since so many have had to put things on hold, so it seems the team is trailblazing in more ways than one. After last year’s fiasco of Avenger’s Endgame catching up with and surpassing the original Avatar, fans of James Cameron’s masterpiece are ready for a sequel.

In addition to acquiring more and more studios, the giant is continually pushing its Game Pass service as a essential part of being an Xbox customer. Avowed may hint more about Microsoft’s game plan regarding the future of Xbox, which seems to be a patient one for now.

The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced back in 2018, but since then Bethesda has released little news about the game. Though TES6’s release date remains unannounced, it has been confirmed that the game will not release until after Starfield, the studio’s new IP. Elder Scrolls fans who are hoping that Avowed will tide them over may find one key difference between The Elder Scrolls and Obsidian’s RPG design though....
