The Jayhawks join Michigan State, Kentucky, Duke and Louisville as the other No. 1–ranked teams throughout the first six weeks of the season. The record for the most No. 1–ranked teams throughout an entire season is seven, but both the AP poll and college basketball have never had this number of ranking changes in such a short span of time. With a 9-1 record, the Jayhawks received 47 of 65 first-place votes in the AP poll....

The reason: Technically, he wasn’t on the team. “That was a little weird, having to do that,” Haslem said. It won’t be a problem for the next year. Haslem officially signed his one-year, $2.4 million contract with the Heat on Monday, a deal that was struck last week and finally became official when he put pen to paper. Haslem will enter his 16th NBA season, all with the Heat, and that means the Miami native will be with his hometown franchise for more than half of its 31-year history....

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because the agreement, first reported by The Athletic, was subject to a successful physical. Grandal turned down a $17.9 million qualifying offer from the NL champion Los Angeles Dodgers in November. He would be eligible for free agency again after this year’s World Series Now 30, Grandal was an All-Star in his first season with the Dodgers in 2015. He hit ....

The game officially rolled out back in February and ever since then, you had to play matches in a trio so there have been a multitude of requests from players to introduce a solo mode. So without further ado in this piece, let’s take a look at details about the upcoming changes in Apex: Apex Legends solo mode details The Apex Legends developers considered the request and finally, a solo mode is all set to hit the game next week....

Unlike other battle royale games such as Fortnite, where getting the best loot often depends on finding randomly spawning chests, Apex Legends’ best loot can be found in specific sections of the game’s map. When players enter a new region on the Apex Legends map, a notification on the Heads-Up Display (HUD) will tell players the name of the area and the tier of the loot that can be found there....

The trick, posted by TIGJCthagod on Reddit, is absurdly simple. After firing a single shot with a full-auto weapon while aiming down sights, quickly unscope and the remainder of the clip will be fired with near-perfect accuracy. This glitch has insane potential when paired with high-capacity weapons like the LMGs or even weapons with a speedy firing rate like the R-99 or the R-301. Since players will be firing from hip-fire, they’ll also be afforded a larger field-of-view in close-range encounters....

Last year, Respawn Entertainment implemented Skill Based Matchmaking, or SBMM, for casual play in Apex Legends. Thus, players enter a game with other players of a similar skill level even in casual play. While common for ranked matchmaking, the decision to make this the norm throughout Apex Legends is controversial among players. RELATED: Apex Legends Season 5 Trailer Shows Loba’s Abilities, New Revenant Lore There are problems with SBMM that players are happy to point out to Respawn....

While this corrects one chaotic element of massive multiplayer games, there is still one variable: the teammates. Everyone has horror stories of who they matchmake with in Apex Legends, whether it comes down to toxicity, a lack of pings, or too much background noise. Add that on top of the game’s sometimes frustrating matchmaking to begin with, and it can lead to some terrible scenarios—something one Apex Legends fan has come up with a way to avoid....

Perhaps the biggest reveals from the leak are two new Apex Legends weapon charms. These additions are fully finished and polished, so the data miners were able to take screenshots of them to share. One is a little Nessy, the dinosaur Easter egg from throughout Respawn’s past, adorned with heart-shaped sunglasses, a bow around its neck, and a rose in its mouth. The second is a Pathfinder Cupid charm, complete with wings and a little bow and arrow....

The Chaos Theory event is currently ongoing in Apex Legends and it brought with it a special Limited Time Mode called Ring Fury. While the basic Apex Legends rules still apply, players must avoid ring flares which randomly appear and damage any who are caught inside. The mode is constantly evolving with new rules such as the current Level 2 which adds one massive ring flare into the arena. However, it appears that mode special modes may be on the way if a new leak is any indication....

The exact issue that’s causing problems in Apex Legends isn’t wholly clear. The bulk of users are reporting that while the game is at least opening, it never loads in entirely. All that these players see is the typical Apex Legends opening screen featuring the logo. Bloodhound, Wraith, and Gibraltar are seen, as well as a spinning loading circle that will go on forever. However, other users report that the loading screen has completed for them only to result in an error....

The team behind Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment, brought its known skills at creating enthralling first-person shooters from the acclaimed Titanfall games and have managed to create a game in the same universe. However, it is not only the universe that the games share, but it also seems that some of the files that were used in the development of Apex Legends also belonged to Titanfall and this complicates what weapon the dataminers may have found before the release of Season 6....

Its main aim is to ensure fair and fun competition among the players in the lobby. A similar system is also prevalent in Apex and works in both Casual and Ranked modes of the game. It tries to match players of the same rank and kill-death (KD) ratio. Since no SBMM is one-hundred percent accurate, it does tend to work most of the time. What is SBMM, and how does it work in Apex Legends?...

Cancer of the appendix is rare, but it can spread to other organs and lead to complications. Between 2009 and 2018, cancer in the appendix occurred in less than two per 100,000 people in the United States. Most of the time, the cancer is found incidentally during the process of looking for the source of another problem such as appendicitis (infection of the appendix). Because it is so rare, there is little in the way of clinical trial data that can be used to help make treatment decisions....

Attachment styles develop in childhood and continue into adulthood. Anxious attachment—also known as ambivalent or anxious-preoccupied attachment—usually happens because there was an inconsistent relationship with a parent or caregiver during childhood. With therapy, it’s possible to change attachment styles and have healthy relationships. This article explains the characteristics of anxious attachment, how to recognize signs of anxious attachment in yourself and others, and strategies for coping. Characteristics of the Anxious Attachment Style Adults with anxious attachment often need constant reassurance in relationships, which can come off as being “needy” or “clingy....

Taylor-Joy has been in some big projects since she appeared in The Witch. In addition to her starring role in last year’s Last Night in Soho, Taylor-Joy will be appearing as Furiosa in the film of the same name, which serves as a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road. She will also be lending her vocal talents to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, where she’ll be playing Princess Peach....

“In front of reporters, Representative Yoho called me, and I quote, a ‘fing b*,’” Ocasio-Cortez said in her speech. “These are the words Representative Yoho levied against a congresswoman.” The remark gives “permission to other men to do that to his daughters,” she added. Before the curse was directed at her on Monday, Ocasio-Cortez said, Yoho began verbally attacking her while she was walking up the steps of the Capitol....

The Senate’s parliamentarian ruled last week that the minimum wage hike would not be eligible to pass through the complicated budget reconciliation process. Democrats have turned to that process to push through President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. Legislation passed through budget reconciliation requires only a simple majority to pass in the Senate, instead of the 60 votes generally required because of the legislative filibuster rule, and would not necessarily require any Republican support, given the upper chamber’s current makeup....

The Crimson Tide had six players chosen to the three All-America teams, more than any other school. No. 2 Clemson has three first-teamers, No. 4 Oklahoma has two All-Americans — including quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray — and No. 3 Notre Dame had one. The Tide and Sooners meet in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 29 and the Tigers play the Fighting Irish at the Cotton Bowl that day....

SPOTLIGHT Anthony Brown, QB, Boston College. Tua Tagovailoa, Dwayne Haskins and Kyler Murray for good reason have drawn raves for their performances in their first season as starters for programs that sit near the top of the rankings. But check out the FBS passing leaders and it is Brown who is No. 1. He started 10 games last season as a redshirt freshman and things were starting to click when he injured his right knee in mid-November....
