Enjoy having that theme song stuck in your head all day. MORE: Judge Rodriguez for Arizona, not Ann Arbor

For instance: The Kenyon Martin Club. Arizona’s Brandon Ashley is the newest member, after it was confirmed Sunday that he did indeed break his foot. He is sort of the patron saint of crushing college basketball late-season injuries. The Bearcats were ranked No. 1 in the nation when he was injured. They were certain to be a No. 1 seed in the tournament and perhaps even No. 1 overall even if they did not fare well in their league tournament....

The dynamic point guard, ranked No. 4 among PGs by Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy, bypassed a chance at the pros last season before deciding to return to school. Barring unforeseen circumstances, Carson will take the leap after his sophomore season. "I know it will be his last; We know Jahii will end up going to the NBA," Arizona State coach Herb Sendek said during the Sun Devils' media day Thursday....

The dinosaur survival game developers announced the new ARK as a “Multiplayer Online Survival Arena” that is apparently designed “for the burgeoning wild west of eSports.” Studio Wildcard is clearly making an effort to give the game a competitive scene and players will be rewarded for their efforts in-game with real world cash. According to the studio, the top 10 ranked players each month will be awarded monetary prizes from Wildcard itself....

Speaking with GameSpot, Studio Wilcard creative director and co-founder Jesse Rapczak talked directly about the PS4 version of ARK: Survival Evolved. Although information on a port of the game for Sony’s console has been thin on the ground, Rapczak explained that the team was “pretty excited about PS4.” However, because of the Sony console’s lack of an early access program, ARK: Survival Evolved will likely not be making its way to the PS4 until it’s in a finished state....

North American Aerospace Defense Command confirmed to Newsweek that there was indeed an “ongoing operation” over New York City....

Consumers are saying that certain makes of Apple’s new wearable won’t actually show up until November. These extended delivery estimates impact certain aluminum and steel configurations. It is hard to say which configurations won’t ship until November, as there are many materials, colors, band styles, and sizes to choose from....

As an engineer, my focus primarily tends to remain fixed on the near-term applications of applied AI. I am more invested in the real-world impact of applied AI that can already be implemented or will be available at scale within the next year or so and its wide-ranging impact on life and business. Given the current uncertain market conditions, I believe we should use applied AI as a competitive advantage....

As Arafat and Abbas glowered at each other, members of Fatah’s Central Committee attempted to broker a compromise. They proposed that an Arafat loyalist named Nasser Yusuf take over as Interior minister–and also take full responsibility for security. Arafat accepted Yusuf, but demanded that Arafat himself continue to command an elite bodyguard unit known as Force 17, the powerful General Intelligence Apparatus and the National Security Force, the Palestinian equivalent of an army....

Aragami 2 will drop players in the boots of the titular supernatural assassin hundreds of years after the events of the first game. The new trailer is relatively light on narrative spoilers and does not tease what the conflict the Aragami finds himself involved in this time around. However, one story spoiler the trailer shows is Aragami building a new clan of shadow-powered assassins to defeat the enemies he finds in Feudal Japan....

Vigano, who has opposed the shutting down of church services to slow the spread of the virus, wrote in a public letter, “In these modern times of terrible tribulation, when the pandemic has deprived Catholics of Holy Mass and the Sacraments, the Evil One has gone into a frenzy and multiplied his attacks to tempt souls into sin.” As such, he is asking Catholic clergy to help conduct a mass exorcism against Satan and the Apostate Angels at 3 p....

A 180-foot-tall naked chalk-drawn figure, also known as the “Cerne Abbas Giant,” finally revealed some of its age-old secrets earlier this week when archeologists were able to uncover details about its origins. The giant image etched into the countryside features a male figure with exposed genitals, holding a large club in one hand. On Wednesday, the National Trust, which owns the land on which the etching is located, tweeted drone footage of the figure, commissioned “in order to create a fly-through video, enabling people to explore the giant virtually....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - South Korea’s Chang Hye-jin stepped out of compatriot Ki Bo-bae’s shadow to defeat German Lisa Unruh for the women’s individual archery gold medal at the Rio Olympics on Thursday.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - South Korea is not thrilled that its top archery brains are guiding other Olympic nations but the sport’s superpower is especially uncomfortable about master coach Lee Ki-sik’s American success. The man who piloted South Korea at four Olympics from 1984-1996 has turned the United States into a formidable rival to the east Asian nation since joining the country’s archery programme in 2006.
