MLS Wrap: RBNY reaping academy rewards Round 14 set up a fantastic race to the finish, with five teams now secure in the knowledge they’re headed ot the playoffs. Toluca, Tijuana, Chivas, Monterrey and America will be playing beyond the final three weeks of the season. Let’s take a look at some other lessons we learned from Round 14 of the Clausura… Damm must start for Tigres when ready By halftime of Tigres’ match with Pumas, the home side should’ve been leading 3-0, maybe more....

However, South Africa won the five-match series 3-2. Captain Angelo Mathews led Sri Lanka’s batting with an unbeaten run-a-ball 97 to help his team to a challenging 299-8 after winning the toss. Dananjaya took 6-29 to skittle the tourists for 121 in 24.4 overs. It was South Africa’s lowest score against Sri Lanka in one-day cricket and also its second biggest defeat by runs against Sri Lanka. South Africa recorded its previous lowest ODI total of 140 against Sri Lanka in 2013 and lost that match by 180 runs at the same venue....

“Over by the dancing camels,” said Neel Lattimore, deputy press secretary to Hillary Rodham Clinton. The dancing camels were next to the dancing horses, and just after the six troupes of Punjabi dancers, and just before the Pakistani orchestra playing third-rate, 20-year-old disco music … and also just before the rose-petal altar, which stood in the center of a courtyard where an open-air dinner for 500 was to be laid on by the governor of Punjab-and the camels were dancing in the midst of thousands upon thousands of small, pungent oil lamps, lining the walks and walls of the ancient Muslim fort at Lahore, casting fairy-tale shadows from golden baubles of light....

You know, to apologize for their little spat on national TV Thursday night. And I wonder if maybe Danica, having cooled down and thought things over, sent Denny a note. Something like this: “Dear Denny, I hope we can still be friends. I still like you. Do you still like me? Please check Yes or No.” The dramatic spat between Patrick and Hamlin on pit road at Daytona International Speedway was among the most bizarre driver confrontations in years, and certainly the most entertaining....

Patrick, in her second full season of Sprint Cup racing, had previously posted a career-best of eighth in the 2013 Daytona 500. That came on a historic day when she was the first female driver to start on the pole for a Cup race — in just her 11th career start. It took 46 more starts for her just to finish in the top 10 again, and it came Saturday in the 5-Hour Energy 400, where she started ninth and ran in the top 10 most of the race....

Below are highlights: His status: “I’d like to return to the ring tomorrow. It’s not an issue of how I feel—I feel great—it’s an issue of getting cleared. That’s a process that is somewhat out of my hands. I’m trying. I don’t want to push, push, push. I’ve made my statement to WWE, but they’re going to listen to their doctors. I’m trying to do it as soon as possible, but they’re looking out for my best interests, so I’m trying to be a little bit patient with them....

The Planet’s Champion was gone. The Leader of the Yes Movement was back but had a pretty nasty streak in him that resembled his time as ROH"s American Dragon. Unlike many who have been targeted by him, Bryan has begun to take the fight to the Universal Champion, sending him running on a few occasions. Tonight was no different. The Fiend attempted to toy with Bryan’s emotions, using his former tag team partner, the Big Red Machine, to draw him out....

The Russian won his first title of the year at Los Cabos earlier this month but came a cropper at the Canadian Open last week. The defending champion lost in three sets to Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios in the Round of 32. After dropping nearly 1,000 points following his early exit in Montreal, the World No. 1 is only ahead of second-ranked Alexander Zverev by a mere 125 points. It marks the first time in 13 years an ATP singles No....

Washington Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa made a lasting impression on fans attending Thursday’s 13-4 home win against the Cincinnati Reds. He became the first Nationals player with seven RBIs in a game since Josh Willingham in 2009. He clobbered two home runs — one a grand slam — and even received a curtain call for his effort.

But the four-time IndyCar series champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 champion won’t race again. With reportedly three major concussions in the last 11 years, his doctors have advised him that he risks significant permanent injury if he drives in a racecar again. That type of diagnosis is exactly what worries some NASCAR drivers about the implementation of baseline concussion testing beginning next year to help determine whether a driver should race after suffering a concussion....

No, it isn’t a comic con (pun heavily intended), all of the Mass Effect comics are available via Dark Horse’s digital comic store. The comics have been given a 100% price drop as a semi-promotion for the upcoming Dark Horse/BioWare panel at this year’s Comic-Con, but anyone looking to stock up on free comics better act fast because the comics will once again cost a fee after 3pm EST....

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) release high-energy clouds of hot plasma from the surface of the sun, which then travel out into space. Most miss the Earth, but occasionally, one heads directly towards us. As the CME cloud hits the Earth’s atmosphere, electrons from the plasma are accelerated along the magnetic field lines towards the Earth’s poles, where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms and molecules in Earth’s upper atmosphere....

This is according to stats from the Steam achievement page for Dark Souls III, which claims that roughly 10% of players that own the game haven’t reached the first bonfire. This could mean that some players start the game, decide they don’t like it, and turn it off before getting to the bonfire, though alternatively, it could mean that they have purchased the game on Steam without starting it yet....

Against this pack of feral foes from the Ashes of Ariandel DLC, there are a few openings that the Ashen One can exploit for a better chance at victory....

YouTuber and hardcore Dark Souls fan TolomeoR set out to complete the game by combining the fairly common challenge modifiers, into one incredibly hard run. During many of his videos, he claims to also be on NG+7, meaning that the YouTuber has already completed the game a number of times, each with scaling difficulty. You can check out his latest upload, the Soul of Cinder boss fight below. TolomeoR claims that this is the hardest fight he has ever done....

The video, which was released by From Software on its official YouTube channel, shows a sped up video of an artist taking to a chalkboard to recreate one of the locations from Dark Souls 3. The artist, who is called Rena Rena, painstakingly draws up one of the morbid locations from the upcoming title. The end result is a sight to behold. Using negative space to tremendous effect, the artist ends up perfectly encapsulating the gothic tone of the From Software series, complete with distant spires and decrepit cobblestones....

Darksiders Genesis has a lot of challenging bosses that the players must beat in order to restore balance to the realm.
