The best reason to see “Rush” is to watch these superb young actors wallow in juicy lowlife roles. (Is there an actor alive who can resist the temptation of a withdrawal scene?) Patric shows that his riveting performance in “After Dark, My Sweet” was no fluke: he’s got magnetism and fierce concentration. Leigh gives this opaque, naive Texas girl a wonderful undercurrent of obsessiveness: she’s turned on by fear. And as a goofy small-time dealer whom our heroes blackmail into betraying his pals, Max Perlich practically steals the show....

According to local reports, the shooting began at roughly 5 p.m. local time near the Macy’s and McDonald’s situated by Third Avenue and Pine Street. Authorities have yet to release any information on the suspects, who were still at large at the time of publication after fleeing on foot. Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best told reporters that there were “multiple” shooters involved, however, it is unclear how many. Witnesses report seeing two shooters, however, there could be more....

Fire department spokesman Lt. Col. Vassilis Vathrakoyiannis said the firefighters were deployed in an attempt to keep the fire from reaching the town of Megara, which has a population of over 30,000. The wildfire burned homes and more than 2,000 hectares of forest, authorities said. Smoke from the fire could be seen across southern Greece and even as far as the holiday islands in the Aegean Sea. The blaze started about 45 miles west of Athens outside of the resort town of Loutraki....

Saltanat Azirbek, a police spokeswoman, told state news channel Khabar-24 Wednesday dozens of protesters were “liquidated,” which is their term to describe killing people that police deem to be extremists. The news channel added that city officials said 353 people were injured and 12 officers were killed. Though a nearly doubling of fuel prices originally sparked the protests, many have also shown discontent with the country’s ruling party, which took power when Kazakhstan gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and still holds 80 percent of the country’s parliament seats today....

“We’ve learned a lot about this virus, but we now need to translate that learning into real change behavior that stays with us so we can continue to drive down the number of cases,” Birx said in a Sunday morning interview with ABC’s This Week. “This only works if we all follow the guidelines and protect one another.” Birx emphasized the importance of maintaining social distancing, explaining that gatherings should be limited to 10 people....

Oz, best known for hosting his now-cancelled Dr. Oz daytime talk show, first announced the debate challenge as part of a teaser for an interview on conservative network Newsmax just before his campaign ad was released to social media on Thursday. The challenge came only two days after Fauci, a medical adviser to every U.S. president since former President Ronald Reagan and the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), accused Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky....

The chief medical correspondent for CNN is currently hosting the syndicated show, after succeeding Savannah Guthrie, as producers search for a new permanent presenter to replace the late Alex Trebek. And in an essay for CNN, Gupta has revealed that he worked under tight security while pre-recording his episodes, in a bid to ensure none of the clues fell into the wrong hands. Gupta wrote: “[The] show’s standards and practices team was omnipresent on set....

We built our lineup around a Bears’ stack for a second-straight week, but this time we will go with tight end Cole Kmet to pair with Justin Fields. We also added a pair of young RBs and a quartet of high-volume WRs. Before we break down all of our picks, here are the most notable scoring rules for DraftKings contests: Full-point PPR, four-point passing TDs, three-point bonuses for 100 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards, and 300 passing yards....

After all, Dalvin Cook’s chest seems way less worrisome after his big Week 14, so I’ll take that path to this week’s McCaffrey fade. WEEK 15 NON-PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker DraftKings Week 15 Picks: NFL DFS cash lineup QB Jared Goff, Rams @ Cowboys ($6,100). Goff in cash is now OK again. He’s notoriously the most pressure-sensitive of all quarterbacks with above-averages stretches in play, but Dallas has no edge rushers in the top 25 and no interior rushers in the top 70 of PFF pass-rush productivity....

Running Dalvin Cook and Austin Ekeler in cash last week gave us a fighting shot, but last week’s lineup also a left a few lessons for reassessing the 2019 NFL picture. Like last week, we’ll build around three mid-tier RB plays in response to relatively small price adjustments. Time to spend $50K and hit that line in DK cash games. WEEK 2 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

If you’ve never heard of our captain pick, Jalen Guyton, that’s fine. It just means everyone else hasn’t heard of him either. He allows us to stuff the lineup with studs and even provides some upside at a dirt-cheap price. Maybe it’s risky, but we’re trying to win a tournament here.

In a game that feels like it could go either way on paper, we’ve gone with a half-and-half Showdown lineup. If it stays close on the scoreboard, we should have a solid output. The only place we miss out totally is the Seattle running game, but we’re fine with that, as Chris Carson could very well be slowed down by the 49ers. DraftKings Showdown Picks: 49ers vs. Seahawks CAPTAIN (1....

Usually, I don’t play a pass-catching captain without his QB or as the smaller team representation in my lineup, but that’s what we’re trying with Smith. It allows us to load up on Eagles while also playing Saquon Barkley to try to cap off our Week 14 with some cash. MORE MNF: Betting preview | Injury updates DraftKings Showdown Picks: Eagles vs. Giants CAPTAIN (1.5x points, 1.5x price): TE Kaden Smith, Giants ($3,300)...

(Segment begins at 1:50min mark) Drake's A-Rod character threatens to sue Major League Baseball, the players' union, steroids, Jackie Robinson and his iPhone. He blames all his text messages to Tony Bosch on auto-correct. His accent, body movement and facial expressions are perfect. This is as spot-on and spot-on gets. No word yet if Rodriguez has decided to sue Drake for defamation.

The Canadian rapper sparked an avalanche of jokes and memes online after he declared that he would be betting on Argentina to win and get their hands on the illustrious trophy. In a video shared to Twitter by Link Up TV on Saturday, Drake, who was sitting next to another person, said: “I’ll take Argentina. He’ll take France. That will be a vibe.” It later emerged that the rapper had placed a $1 million bet on the South American side to claim victory over their opponents....

The security footage, acquired by KOIN 6 News, shows 18 year old Angel Granados-Diaz walking into a hallway in Parkrose High School in Portland with the loaded shotgun, concealing it in what appears to be a large bag or blanket. Granados-Diaz can then be seen entering a room where the shotgun was removed and where the teenager seemingly prepared an attack. Seconds later, the student can be seen entering a different doorway with the gun in hand and terrified students are seen fleeing away....

But Green was at the center of the storm here for Cleveland’s remarkable, 137-116 Game 4 win at Quicken Loans Arena, and it would almost be a shame if he didn’t get to take the floor again here. At a handful of instances on Friday night, the locals here showered Green with chants of “Dray-mond sucks!” especially when he received a technical foul in the first quarter. “They make me feel good,” Green said....

“His very first start for us — he didn’t really start until about the sixth game of his sophomore year — I think he was like 20 of 22, something like that, right off the bat,” said Tom Westerberg, Murray’s high school coach at Allen (Texas) High School. “He’s always been a very accomplished passer.” MORE: Trends, things to watch in Red River Rivalry Westerberg knew Murray was already really good when the family arrived from Lewisville, Texas, some 21 miles west of Allen....
