James Mafia Lauerman eagerly awaited as the voting process closed for Smash Summit 3. Jake McGee Jersey . I was in the car and couldnt look at the votes in the last 30 minutes, he said.And after the results were finalized? I was so relieved, he said.?Matthew Zaborowski, a longtime friend of Mafia, organized a massive rally to accumulate votes for the New England native. Eighty-four of Mafias supporters accounted for 15,000 votes in the final minutes as Mafia jumped from last to first.The whole New England community coming together reminds me of what family members do for one another in their time of need, Mafia explained. Im very thankful to them.The results were met with some hostility, as fans complained that other players were more deserving than Mafia to attend the Summit. Mafia started the year in 91st on the Melee It On Me annual ranking charts, the lowest of any qualified Summit candidate ever. Despite the criticism aimed his way, Mafia remained grounded and stated, I know that New England has my back no matter what. I just gotta do my thing and be myself.As the Summit players drafted their four-man crews for the Nov. 3-6 event in Los Angeles, Joseph Mango Marquez picked Mafia as the last selection -- and he did not disappoint. In crews, Mafia was sent in as a counter-pick against Weston Westballz Dennis. Many were skeptical of how he would do, but he managed to take Westballzs three remaining stocks while losing only one of his own. He lost to James Duck Ma on the counter-pick, but Mafia maintained the advantage for his team.In doubles, William Leffen Hjelte and Mafia teamed up.Despite never playing together before, they surprised everyone by defeating both PlupBox (Juan Hungrybox Debiedma and Justin Plup McGrath) and PewFat (Zachary SFAT Cordoni and Kevin PewPewU Toy). In each of the sets, Mafia played the supportive role magnificently by protecting Leffen, covering options and extending combos. In winners finals, they kept it close with Adam Armada Lindgren and Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, widely considered the worlds best duo, before losing in four games. In losers, they lost to PewFat in the run-back set to finish in third.The phenomenal run silenced Mafias critics.He did not see the same level of success in singles. He lost quickly to Mango in winners and Westballz in losers to finish in 13th place. Mafia felt disappointed with his singles play, but was happy with what he gained from the overall weekend.This event was an absolute dream come true, he said, and I was able to get a ton of practice and have fun for an entire weekend.With the conclusion of Smash Summit 3, many eyes will be on Mafia to see whether he sees a skill improvement similar to Swedish Delight. He leaves California in high spirits, and now hes back in the New England region on the grind again, hungrier than ever. Trevor Story Jersey .

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Nike Air Vapor Max Flyknit . -- It might be easy to understand if Purdue is ready for this season to be over.Their coach of four seasons, Darrell Hazell, was fired after a 49-35 homecoming loss to Iowa last month. Theyve lost every game since despite the energetic efforts of interim head coach Gerad Parker. The Boilermakers (3-8, 1-7 Big Ten) will end the season Saturday, win or lose, on the road against rival Indiana in the traditional Old Oaken Bucket game.Parker says his team will be ready.They absolutely do have enough left, and you cant disregard that, Parker said Tuesday. I believe we have more to play for. Were all in. I know that on Sunday, our energy was the best it has been. In our Monday night practice, our guys ran around full of energy. They know what this is about. They know its a rivalry game. We arent going to have to ask our guys to play.Purdue has lost six in a row and has been outscored 276-141, an average of 46-23.5. The Boilermakers are tied for last in the nation in turnover margin at minus-18, including 23-8 in interception differential. Purdue is last in the Big Ten in scoring defense (allowing 39.4 points per game) and last in total defense (461.9 yards).Toss in the fact Purdue has lost 16 consecutive games played in November and the uncertainty surrounding the head coaching position and the situation appears daunting. A loss would give Purdue a 9-39 overall record in the past four seasons, including 3-30 in the Big Ten.Sophomore quarterback David Blough leads the Big Ten in passing yards per game at 284.3 but also leads the conference in interceptions with 19 to go with 23 touchdowns. To say the least, it has been a difficult season for him.I have to do my job, Blough said, The turnovers are the same story, just different days. Its frustrating. We cant turn it over and expect to win a game. Last week (against Wisconsin) is gone, and now were going to give Indiana everything weve got.Parker is 0-5 as the interim head coach -- opponents have outscored Purdue 128-27 in the second halves of those losses -- but he said he is proud of the fact the Boilermakers never failed to compete for him.Our players and coaches have kept everything in the locker room in order and have held each other accountable, Parker said. We had a great practice Monday night and plan to have great practices the rest of the week to get ready for a very good Indiana team.We have -- in my opinion -- just as much to play for as Indiana. Its about the legacy of our seniors and how we all want to leave this program.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

WASHINGTON --?Jonathan Quick will be Team USAs No. 1 starting goaltender for the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, coach John Tortorella announced Tuesday night. Fellow netminder Ben Bishop will serve as the backup.Quick led Team USA to a 3-2 win over Team Finland in the preseason finale Tuesday night at Verizon Center. He finished with 30 saves. After the game, Tortorella informed the team of his decision to name Quick the starter.A lot of things can happen in the tournament, but I believe in the body of work from all three goalies [including Cory Schneider], Tortorella said. Its a really hard decision. I think Jonathan has just done a little bit better than the other guys, so hell be our No. 1 guy to start the tournament.Quick, 30, helped Team USA to a silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He also played in the 2014 Games in Sochi, where he posted a 2.17 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage and he stopped five shootout attempts against Russia in a 3-2 victory.Ive only played with Quicky one time and that was in the [2014] Olympics, and you saw how good he was there, said forward T.J. Oshie. We definitely wouldnt have won the shootout without him. And then in the Canada game, he stood on his head. The Russia game before that, he made some really big saves for us. Nike Air Vapor Max Flyknit Women. In my opinion, hes one of the best goalies in the world. He never gives up on plays. Hes got great hockey sense, and he can read where its going to go. I dont know if anyone has stronger legs than he does in net, so hes able to get across pretty quick. Its nice for a change to have him in our end.Quick won the Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and 2014. He also won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs. He has 42 career shutouts in the NHL, the most by any American-born goalie. His 156 wins in the past five seasons are 30 more than any other U.S.-born goalie in that span.In the preseason for the upcoming best-on-best World Cup of Hockey tournament, Quick played two games for a total of five periods.Hes looking forward to starting against Team Europe in the first game on Saturday at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.These last few games have been exciting, he said. If youve been watching them, teams have been playing with a lot of pace, everybodys fresh, everybody has their legs. Its not like the playoffs, when youve been playing for six or seven months, so itll be fun.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Michael Fulmer watched Matt Boyd throw seven scoreless innings against Texas a night earlier. Chris Terry Canadiens Jersey Authentic .The Detroit rookie did his fellow starter two innings better, putting himself in the company of 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander.Fulmer pitched a four-hitter in the Tigers second straight shutout of the Rangers, and Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez homered among three hits apiece in a 7-0 victory Sunday.The 23-year-old right-hander became the first Tigers rookie to throw a shutout since Verlander 10 years ago. He retired 16 of the last 17 hitters he faced as Detroit kept the AL West-leading Rangers scoreless over the final 21 innings of the three-game series.The gem from Fulmer (10-3), whose longest previous outing was eight innings in a no-decision against Kansas City, came a day after the lefty Boyd, not far removed from rookie status himself, led a 2-0 victory against Texas ace left-hander Cole Hamels.What I learned was that they were an aggressive team against him, Fulmer, the AL rookie leader in wins, said after striking out nine -- two off his career best -- with no walks. I just looked to make quality pitches on 0-0 counts and early in the count and try to get grounders and weak pop-ups.Ian Kinsler added a solo shot against A.J. Griffin (5-2) after striking out his first three times against the Texas right-hander. Miguel Cabrera hit his team-leading 27th homer in the ninth.Fulmers streak of 13 straight retired ended with Nomar Mazaras single leading off the ninth. But Fulmer finished by getting the top of the Texas order -- Shin-Soo Choo, Ian Desmond and Carlos Beltran -- on his way to a career-high 112 pitches. All four Texas hits were singles.All I know is I feel good right now, said Fulmer, a 2011 first-round pick of the New York Mets who started the season at Triple-A Toledo. I could feel this good at 200 innings. Who knows? All I can do is control the present and keep pitching every fifth day.The best chance for Texas came in the fourth, when Desmond and Adrian Beltre singled around a flyout to the warning track in right by Beltran. Fulmer struck out Rougned Odor to end the threat.What was noticeable was the young man on the mound, Texas manager Jeff Banister said. He was able to do pretty much what he wanted to do.Victor Martinez started the scoring with a two-run shot in the fourth, and J.D. Martinez hit his 100th career homer to knock out Griffin and give the Tigers a 6-0 lead in the seventh.Griffin allowed 11 hits and six runs with eight strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings, his second-longest outing of the season. He gave up at least one homer for the 10th straight game, the longest single-season streak for the Rangers since reliever Joaquin Benoit in 2003.FULMER BITSThe righty became the 11th Detroit rookie with 100 strikeouts in a season, finishing the game with 103. The most recent was Armando Galarraga, who had 126 in 2008. ... He joined Philadelphias Zach Eflin (July 22 at Pittsburgh) as the only rookies with shutouts this season. ... Hes the first AL pitcher this season with six outings of at least six scoreless innings.SHORT HOPSOn Saturday, Hamels gave up two runs on 14 hits, which was a career high and tied the Texas record. According to the Rangers, hes the first pitcher to allow 14 or more hits and two or fewer runs since John Dopson for Montreal in July 1988. ... Cabreras home run was the 435th of his career, moving him past Juan Gonzalez and Andruw Jones into 44th on the homer list.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: Manager Brad Ausmus said there is hope that CF Cameron Maybin (sprained left thumb) can start swinging a bat late in the upcoming seven-game homestand. Hes been out since Aug. 4.Rangers: LHP Derek Holland (left shoulder inflammation) has another rehab outing with Triple-A Round Rock on Monday and is eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list Saturday.UP NEXTTigers: LHP Daniel Norris (1-0, 4.00 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series at home against Kansas City. He had a no-decision in his only career start against the Royals last August.Rangers: LHP Martin Perez (7-8, 4.22) goes in the opener of a three-game home series against AL West rival Oakland.

DENVER -- Starting pitchers arent supposed to have stat lines quite like this -- winning ones, anyway. Max Kruse Jersey . Rookie shortstops arent supposed to make it look this easy for an entire series.Just that kind of weekend for Colorado.Tyler Chatwood allowed one hit over five erratic innings, Trevor Story lined his fourth homer in three games and the Rockies swept the Atlanta Braves with a 7-2 win Sunday.Four-game sweeps are extremely difficult in this league, next to impossible, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. So thats an accomplishment right there.Chatwood (9-6) finished with an intriguing line: a career-high eight walks, one hit -- Freddie Freemans single in the first -- six strikeouts and no runs. Hes the 16th pitcher in major league history to post that sort of roller-coaster line and go at least five, according to the Rockies.Thats not a normal stat line for a starter, said DJ LeMahieu, whose team captured all four from the Braves after losing two of three to struggling Tampa Bay. He grinded.Just as intriguing was Storys line for the Atlanta series: 7 for 14 with four homers and nine RBI.Nah, thats not normal, either, LeMahieu said. Not for anybody.Nolan Arenado jumpstarted the offense with a three-run homer in the first and LeMahieu added a solo shot in the fourth as the Rockies captured their 10th straight victory over the Braves at Coors Field.Story launched a two-run shot in the fourth a day after breaking the NL rookie record for most homers by a shortstop. He now has 27 this season and moves closer to the major league rookie record for a shortstop. Nomar Garciaparra had 30 with Boston in 1997.Tyrell Jenkins (0-2) surrendered three homers and seven runs in 3 1/3 innings.He was just kind of off, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Didnt have the crispness and the bounce in his step that he had prior.Chatwood walked a batter in every frame and left after throwing 97 pitches, just 51 of them for strikes.Effectively wild, I think they call that, Chatwood said. I thought my stuff was really good today.Normally, if you walk guys, youre going to get hurt here. Anytime you can do that and get away with it, its always nice.Rockies reliever Gonzalez Germen surrendered both runs in the seventh. Freeman had an RBI double and Nick Markakis brought in the other on a grounder.Atlanta left 10 runners on base.It seemed like we shouldve been the one running away with the game, really, with all the baserunners we had, Snitker said.This certainly helped set the tone: The Rockies sent 10 batters to the plate as part of a four-run first. Arenado had the big hit with a rare homer to right.Of course, the story of the day was the rookie shortstop. For the weekend, too. All season, for that matter, as Story began by hitting 10 homers in April, tying for most ever by a rookie.I dont like to look back on things right now, Story said. I just put my head down and work every day.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran threw from 90 feet Sunday and didnt feel pain two days after leaving a game early with tightness in his right lat. He remains hopeful he can make his next scheduled start. We still have to wait, Teheran said. I dont feel any pain and thats a good sign.Rockies: OF Gerardo Parra (sprained left ankle) looks real good, Weiss said, and could head out for a rehab assignment as soon as this week. ... The Rockies are expected to call up 2012 first-round pick David Dahl on Monday, according to a Denver Post report . The outfielder is batting .484 with five homers and 16 RBI for Triple-A Albuquerque. Dahl was limited to 73 games for Double-A New Britain last season after suffering a lacerated spleen in an outfield collision.EMULATING JUNIORIf Carlos Gonzalezs swing looks familiar, its because he modeled it after Ken Griffey Jr., who was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday.Even Gonzalezs bat drop after a homer is borrowed from Griffey.He meant a lot for the game and part of the reason I swing the way I swing is because of him, said Gonzalez, who lives in Windermere, Florida, during the offseason and frequently runs into Griffey. Ive got to thank him.UP NEXTBraves: After Mondays day off, Atlanta plays a two-game series in Minnesota. RHP Lucas Harrell (1-2) goes for the Braves on Tuesday and RHP Ervin Santana (3-8) for the Twins.Rockies: LHP Jorge De La Rosa (6-7) takes the mound Monday to kick off a three-game series in Baltimore. Hes making his second straight interleague start. Marc-Andre ter Stegen Jersey . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak.

Luis Suarezs double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast clubs impressive start to the season. Liverpool and Southampton sent Chelsea down to fourth place as the west London club was held to 2-2 at home. The Denver Broncos head to the West Coast on a short week to play AFC West rival San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football. The Broncos are coming off their first loss of the season, to the Atlanta Falcons, 23-16. Denver is also dealing with the temporary loss of their Super Bowl-winning head coach Gary Kubiak. The Broncos head coach will not make the trip to San Diego after suffering a complex migraine.Gary is going to concentrate on Gary this week. Everybody else will concentrate on getting a win down in San Diego, said general manager John Elway.Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis is serving as the interim head coach as the Broncos prepare for the Chargers. DeCamillis is involved in week-to-week game management and this was the reason he was tabbed the coach instead of former NFL head coach Wade Phillips, the Broncos defensive coordinator.How much actual preparation will be needed to face San Diego is a different story. The Chargers have had four nail-biting losses this season and are coming off another close loss to the Oakland Raiders in Week 5, 34-31. The Chargers had a chance to tie the game on a field goal late in the fourth quarter, but holder Drew Kaser fumbled the snap and the kick did not get attempted.You cant make this stuff up. You think, Really, is there any other way we can find a way to (lose?), said Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers after the loss on Sunday.San Diego has lost four out of the last five games. The Chargers have lost 10 straight to an AFC West opponent and hope to avoid making the streak 11 this Thursday.Chargers head coach Mike McCoy appears to be on the hot seat as the Chargers have struggled most of 2015 and now into 2016. The offense, behind Rivers, still continues to put up huge numbers. But the 11 offensive turnovers have killed drives and put the defense on short fields.The Chargers have eight lost fumbles on the season. One of the major culprits of those fumbles is second-year running back Melvin Gordon. The former first-rounder out of Wisconsin had a fumble in the Week 4 loss to the New Orleans Saints and another against the Raiders.I was conscious about it, and I dont even think a defender hit it. I have to go watch it. Walking off, I was so upset. We were driving it. I was getting into a zone. And then, it just came out, said Gordon of his turnover.The Broncos defense will attack Gordon all game long and test his ball security. That defense, led by outside linebacker Von Miller, has recovered four fumbles this season and will be looking for more on Thursday night. Miller and Co. Karim Bellarabi Germany Jersey. will also be hunting for sacks. The Denver defensive unit has sacked opposing quarterbacks 19 times this season.The Chargers offensive line, which could be without starting right tackle Joe Barksdale again this week due to a foot injury, has given up only 11 sacks. This unit has played better than it did in 2015 when it gave up 40 sacks for the season. Seven of those sacks came against the Broncos in 2015. How the line handles Denvers defensive front will go a long way in determining the outcome.Against Denver in Week 5, the Falcons used their running backs as wide receivers and spread them out along the offensive formations. This forced inside linebackers Brandon Marshall and Todd Davis to leave the tackle box and play man coverage on the edges. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan took advantage of these matchups and the game plan helped hand the Broncos their first loss of the year.(Atlanta) spread us out. The key part was that they had time to get those guys downfield. For backs to get downfield, it takes some time. You cant ask (Marshall) and Todd and those guys to hold up that long, said Kubiak.While McCoy may try to implement this scheme into the game plan, the loss of a great pass catcher like Chargers running back Danny Woodhead, who is out for the season, may prevent the Chargers offense from using this attack as much as it might like.The Broncos offensive line gave up six sacks in the loss to the Falcons, and no matter who is at quarterback, rookie Paxton Lynch or, if healthy, Trevor Siemian, that is too many hits for a quarterback to take. Especially with a healthy Joey Bosa lining up along the defensive line for the Chargers. The third overall selection in the 2016 draft played in his first NFL game against the Raiders and exploded onto the scene. The rookie collected two sacks and five total tackles in his debut.Siemian was listed as a questionable Wednesday due to a left shoulder injury. Broncos cornerback Kayvon Webster (hamstring) also is questionable, while linebacker DeMarcus Ware (forearm) is out.Chargers cornerback Brandon Flowers (concussion) and safety Jahleel Addae (collarbone) will missed the game. Six San Diego players are listed as questionable: tackle Joe Barksdale (foot), guard Orlando Franklin (ankle), tackle Chris Hairston (groin), cornerback Craig Mager (shoulder), running back Dexter McCluster (hamstring) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (shoulder).

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse.

I was really open, so I got to set my feet.Troyce Manassa had 14 points and 11 rebounds for Savannah State (0-2), which committed 20 turnovers.Tyler Cook scored 14 points and Peter Jok had 13 for the Hawkeyes. Nicholas Baer added nine points and a career-best six assists. Iowas bench scored 76 points -- led by Ellingson.The Hawkeyes were out-rebounded in the first half, but came back to edge the Tigers 52-40 on the boards.Iowa has won 39 of its last 40 non-conference home games.BIG PICTUREIowa: Pemsl wasnt the most prolific recruit in McCafferys freshman class, but hes clearly going to be a factor off the bench for Iowa. At 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds, Pemsl is strong, but he has a greaat handle around the rim. Mike Hoffman Jersey. Pemsl made all seven of his field goal tries and converted four and-one opportunities.Hes just a really skilled big man, McCaffery said. He has an innate ability to make a decision in traffic.Savannah State: The Tigers have allowed 113 and 116 points in their first two games. They mixed up man and zone defenses against Iowa -- neither were very effective. Savannah State had the best scoring defense in the MEAC last season, but it lost four starters from that team.STAR WATCHJok never got into a shooting rhythm against the Tigers, finishing 5 of 15 from the floor. The senior made only one of his first six shot attempts.This was two days after Jok scored 27 points against Kennesaw State -- the most by a Hawkeye in a season opener since Adam Haulskas 29 against The Citadel in 2006. Joks 27 points was also the most by a Big Ten player among Fridays games.HE SAID ITWe would have preferred a little more of a mixture of penetration, but we have good 3-point shooters, McCaffery said. And we were open.The Hawkeyes attempted a school-record 43 3-pointers. Iowa made just 7 of 22 3s in Fridays opener.UP NEXTIowa faces its first real challenge of the season on Thursday against Seton Hall (2-0) as part of the Big Ten- Big East series.Savannah State plays Middle Georgia State in its home opener on Thursday before another tough test at Memphis next weekend.

NAPA, Calif. Aaron Ekblad Panthers Jersey . -- The Tiger comeback has become the Tiger tease.And not just for golf fans.It cant be easy for Tiger Woods to feel healthy enough to play, only for the little voices in his head telling him to wait.For all the speculation about whats going on with Woods, only he knows why his game would be good enough to commit to the Safeway Open one day, and why three days later it was not. That wouldnt seem to leave much time for what he said was a lot of soul searching and honest reflection before deciding to withdraw.Woods said on Sept. 7 that he hoped to play this week in the Safeway Open at Silverado, along with the Turkish Airlines Open in early November and his Hero World Challenge the first week of December in the Bahamas. His progress following two back surgeries last year allowed him to make such plans, which looked more like a reality when he officially entered the Safeway Open on Friday.He was gone before he was ever back.The portable signs leading to Silverado flashed a warning to drivers to expect delays because of the golf tournament. Traffic isnt likely to be an issue any longer. Wine tasting goes back to being the main event.There was no shortage of apologies from Woods. He was fully aware of the ramifications. He said he had every intention of playing and wouldnt have entered if he felt otherwise. This isnt what I wanted to happen, he said.It was the right decision because it was his decision.Woods showed plenty of loyalty to the PGA Tour by also canceling in Turkey, which will attract a strong field as part of the final stretch of events in the Race to Dubai on the European Tour. That leaves the Bahamas as his next comeback, subject to change.Most disconcerting to Woods is that according to his statement, this had nothing to do with his health, and everything to do with his confidence.Its one thing to say his game is not ready. Its another to say his game is vulnerable.Vulnerable to what -- scoring or scrutiny?The 14 months since Woods last played have been filled with mixed messages. Woods has used defeatist terms like Ive had a pretty good run and saying anything else he accomplishes in golf will be gravy. Then again, he has never failed to express his desire to play again.Jesper Parnevik, in an interview with Golf Digest in the November issue, said they have played nine holes at the Medalist Golf Club in Florida and by the way, hes been hitting a lot of balls, and hes hitting it great.On the range, at least, his trajectory and ball flight are like the Tiger we knew 15 years ago, Parnevik said.Hank Haney, his former swing coach, said Tuesday on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio that a well-known tour pro watched Woods about a month ago in Florida and described every other chip or pitch as a blade or a chunk.The mystery deepens.Golfers say all the time that their expectations are higher than anything the fans can put on them. That especially rings true in this case. Does anyone really expect Woods to play anything like the Woods who toyed with competition for more than a decade? Probably not. But does Woods expect that?The aura of Woods is not what it was and never will be again. Thats simply age. Woods is 40 and seems a lot older because of seven surgeries, including three on his back in the last 30 months. He has been gone from golf from 14 months and it feels much longer.Johnny Miller, the NBC Sports analyst and host at Silverado, suggested Monday that Woods has got to break the ice sometime. Even with the attention Woods brings, the Safeway Open would have been a safe return. Its the middle of football season and baseball playoffs. More than anything, it would have been a start.Now it feels like stage fright.Woods does not want to return until he feels he can compete. He missed a full week of practice while being an assistant at the Ryder Cup two weeks ago, though that still doesnt explain why he felt good enough to return to the PGA Tour on Friday and withdrew on Monday.Woods says he wants to play. He says his body will allow him to play.But hes not playing. Hes waiting.The scrutiny has never left him, and it never will. And until he plays again, his game will always feel vulnerable.

Govortsova won back-to-back matches for the first time this season. She had lost seven of her previous eight entering the tournament.

Govortsova earned her ninth win over a top-20 opponent and her first since beating Agnieszka Radwanska via retirement at New Haven last year.

The Australian was knocked out in the first round for the first time since early May -- a span of five tournaments.

Keith Yandle Panthers Jersey Authentic. I gave myself a chance to get back into the match but I had to win that last game." Stosur had 10 double faults, including two in a row at one point.

Seventh-seeded Urszula Radwanska downed American Christina McHale, 6-1, 6-3 while Daniela Hantuchova beat Yanina Wickmayer 6-2, 4-6, 6-0, in their first-round match.

One of the worlds oldest telecommunications companies is suing Valve over Steam. Paul Molitor Brewers Jersey .British Telecommunications has filed a federal lawsuit against Valve, alleging that the game developer infringed several patents via its popular Steam marketplace and distribution platform. In a 111 page court document obtained by ESPN, plaintiff British Telecom (BT) specifically pinpoints Steams storage of third-party video games as well as certain broadcasting, chat, and messaging features.Despite BTs repeated attempts to reach an amicable resolution with Valve, and BTs numerous requests that Valve stop infringing the [patents], Valve has continued to infringe willfully and wantonly, alleged British Telecom lawyers in the complaint.The lawsuit, filed in Delaware federal court, targets the heart of how consumers play, watch, interact, and purchase esports. At any given time, millions of gamers are online via Valves Steam interface.Valves internet-based digital distribution platform for video games, Steam, is the largest in the world and supports thousands of games, some of which have been developed by Valve itself and some of which have been developed by others, wrote lawyers for British Telecom.Valves Steam Library, Steam Chat, Steam Messaging, and Steam Broadcasting are all specifically mentioned in the complaint.The four patents at issue in the legal filing -- denoted by the lead inventors last name -- are included as attachments. Inventors obtain patents as a way to legally protect their work from being copied by others without permission. Patent violations can result in monetary damages and court-ordered injunctions preventing further infringement.BT brings this action to recover the just compensation it is owed for Valves past infringement, and to prevent Valve from continuing to benefit from the patented inventions in the future without authorization or compensation to BT, explained British Telecom lawyers.Screenshots featuring Valves Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game, as well as other titles, are included prominently in the complaint.The British Telecom lawsuit does not address any possible gambling-related aspect of Steam, but comes amidst an unrelated lawsuit alleging that Valve facilitated skins betting on various third-party websites. The skins wagering case is in its early stages.British Telecom is represented by powerful New York City law firm Proskauer Rose. Valve has yet to formally reply to the complaint. None of the allegations in the new British Telecom lawsuit have yet been considered by a judge or a jury.Messages seeking comment from Valve and British Telecom representatives were not immediately returned.

In an interview with The Vancouver Sun on Wednesday, the Vancouver Canucks head coach said hes been in constant contact with Roberto Luongo and added that the veteran netminder just wants to focus on what has to be done on the ice. "I dont want to get into specifics, but I have talked to Roberto four times," he told the paper. "In fact, I just talked to him yesterday. Ill tell you, from talking with him he has told me he is working very hard as far as conditioning and getting ready for this season. "He knows there is a lot of talk and probably a lot of questions coming his way with how it all unfolded here. I think hes prepared for that and the bottom line is he told me I just want to play." The Canucks raised plenty of eyebrows at the NHL Draft when general manager Mike Gillis dealt away presumed No. 1 goaltender Cory Schneider instead of Luonggo. Aaron Hill Brewers Jersey. The deal - done with the New Jersey Devils - netted the Canucks the ninth overall pick (Bo Horvat) and handed the net firmly back over to Luongo for the foreseeable future. Since the trade was made, Luongo has kept quiet regarding his relationship with the Canucks. He did however, hire Pat Brisson of CAA Sports, who told TSN last month that Luongo would report to training camp. "I think that is the most important thing, if there is some conflict or you are unhappy about certain things, the bottom line is and he understands it, is that he is playing for his teammates," added Tortorella. "Those are the most important people. "I have done a lot of talking to people who have coached him and know him and there is just tremendous support for what kind of pro he is. You dont have to be happy about a lot of different things. You can be really happy about this, unhappy about that, as long as you are ready to play. I think he gets that. So I am really excited about where he is mentally."
