“There are more people here than in the 31 years I’ve been doing this,” Meade County Sheriff Ron Merwin told the Rapid City Journal on Saturday. The motorcycle rally kicked off Friday in Sturgis, a town located in South Dakota’s Black Hills, and is expected to attract roughly 700,000 people for a 10-day event. But in just the first two days since the rally began, law enforcement officials in Sturgis and Meade County reported that their calls for service are up dramatically compared to previous years....

The 80th annual rally can be tied to more than 260,000 COVID-19 cases in the month since it took place in Sturgis, South Dakota, between August 7 and 16, researchers said. IZA Institute of Labor Economics, an international research institute, published its analysis of the rally’s role as a “super-spreader” event this month. IZA’s researchers used an estimate on the average cost of treating a COVID-19 patient who survives the virus that the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) published last month....

Pique closing in on return Messi shone once again at the weekend as Barca came from a goal behind to beat Sevilla 2-1 in La Liga, the Argentina international scoring one and creating the other. His 43rd-minute equalizer was his 500th goal for the Catalan giants in all competitions and gives weight to his claims to be awarded the inaugural FIFA’s Best Player for 2016. Along with long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi is part of a 23-man list for the award that will be announced on January 9 2017....

P.K. Subban scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the Predators held on to beat New York 3-2 Thursday night and spoil the regular-season debut of new Rangers coach David Quinn. “I thought we played a pretty good game,” Subban said. “For our team, we’re at our best when we’re disciplined. At the end, I think we would’ve liked to shut it down a little sooner and quicker and a little easier, but we got it done....

According to a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, a team of scientists—led by John Lyons from the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Alaska Volcano Observatory—documented the phenomenon two years ago at Bogoslof, one of the Aleutian Islands. Bogoslof is the largest of a cluster of small, low-lying islands that comprise the summit of a submarine volcano at the southern edge of the Bering Sea. The volcano rises about 6,000 feet from the seafloor but only extends for a maximum of 300 feet above sea level at its highest point....

5 Prawn Suit Drill/Grapple Arms While the prawn suit is something of a safety net against the giant creatures that roam the world of Subnautica, it can only take two or three hits from a reaper before being destroyed. Fortunately, during reaper fights the creature will usually attack and then wander off for a while, giving players the opportunity to repair the suit between charges. There are many possible attachments for the prawn suit, but the most common pairing for fighting will be one drill arm and one grapple arm....

Goretzka’s Schalke contract is due to expire at the end of the season and he has been heavily linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions. The 22-year-old announced himself as a force to be reckoned with when he helped to power a young Germany team to Confederations Cup success in the off-season. And while Schalke may well prove unable to prevent the dynamic young midfielder from leaving the Veltins-Arena, Heidel has bristled at Bayern’s sporting director openly courting the star....

Even after a group of supporters who should know better had to apologize for saying it just last week, there’s still too much talk about Rice “deserving” another NFL chance.

The group of major oil producing nations known as OPEC+, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, confirmed it will dramatically reduce the amount of oil it will be producing, in a move that threatens to raise gasoline prices once more in the U.S., and worsen global inflation. The decision could also help strengthen Russia’s position after the country was hit by sanctions across the world following its invasion of Ukraine....

The weather stoppage gave Brittany Lincicome her desired Saturday tee time, though the LPGA Tour player must overcome a huge challenge to extend it by making the cut and history in a PGA Tour event.

The round will resume Saturday morning with much of the field still to play....

Stranger Things has never been afraid to go dark. Eleven’s backstory alone is straight out of a Stephen King novel: a child who was abducted at birth and raised as a weapon for her powerful psionic abilities. Eleven turned into quite the rebellious character over the course of Stranger Things, but her upbringing was stifling and traumatic. Her mother, Terry Ives (Aimee Mullins) attempted to save Eleven, only to be rendered permanently catatonic for her efforts....
