Slosar, chief patrol agent, U.S. Border Patrol, Miami sector, made the announcement on Twitter, posting a picture of the disheveled vessel that carried the migrants. “Border Patrol agents along with federal, state, & local partners are responding to a maritime smuggling event involving over 100 migrants that made landfall in the Florida Keys,” Slosar wrote in a tweet....

Ariauna Chantell Lillard, 19, reportedly used a butane torch while attempting to destroy several love notes from a former boyfriend in the bedroom of her third-floor apartment. According to investigators, the 19-year-old used the torch to burn the letters, and went to take a nap. However, she left some of the notes on her bedroom carpet, apparently unaware that they were smoldering. Lillard woke up a short time later to the sound of her smoke alarm going off....

Fans of the novel will remember that a significant part of the original story features Shadow resting between jobs at this sleepy town, where he meets several important characters, including Hinzelmann, who is also being teased for the third season. Gaiman also re-emphasized one of the story’s biggest conflicts: “We wanted to focus on the characters and their journeys. To show Shadow forging a path guided by the Gods of his ancestors, becoming more himself while deciding who he is and what side he’s on — humanity’s or that of the Gods....

On that note, let us have a look at a few such players with big contracts who could move to a different team in the off-season. NBA Trade Rumors: Five players with massive contracts who could be on the move this off-season Many NBA players with huge contracts have been traded before, something that won’t be different in this off-season too. This off-season has already seen many players, apart from coaching staff and front-office personnel, changing teams....

NEW YORK — As the Pelicans approach the one-year anniversary of the DeMarcus Cousins blockbuster trade, it’s all quiet on the Cousins trade front. Yup, just like last season, when it also was deathly quiet on the Cousins trade front after the Kings told Cousins they were intent on keeping him and re-signing him to a maximum contract north of $200 million. Here’s the difference a year later: Unless something drastic happens between now and the trade deadline, Cousins will remain in New Orleans for the rest of the season and cash in this summer when he enters free agency with a deal in excess of $185 million....

Ibaka is about to be an unrestricted free agent for the first time. He signed an extension with the Thunder back in 2012 that looked very team-friendly then and only improved as the salary cap exploded over the last few seasons. This year, he makes $12.25 million, less than almost all of the equivalent players around the league and even now-former teammates Jeff Green and Bismack Biyombo. That reality also makes it more likely Ibaka will try to maximize his value with his best (and possibly only) shot to sign a lucrative contract in or near his prime....

While such a move could capitalize on big numbers seen in Thursday’s selections, a later draft date is not without problems. July 1, after all, is opening day of free agency. So either the league holds its draft after the signing frenzy cools or it postpones player movement market. Changes would likely be tied to the league’s new TV contract. Two years remain on the current accord that splits coverage among the ABC sports family and Turner Sports, which owns TNT and NBA TV....

UM wing Charles Matthews converted a layup with 9:09 remaining to cut a deficit that once stood at 18 points to an even dozen. The game still felt very much like it belonged to the Wildcats, but the Michigan fans got to their feet and the Wolverines on the floor waved to encourage more noise.

He had broken his leg in that moment, so the best college player that season on what had established itself as the best team became ancillary to the NCAA Tournament. There’d rarely been anything like it in college basketball history. This year there may be more Kenyon Martins than ever before. It’s unlikely anyone has a statistical record of this, but across the years there are anecdotal incidents of players whose late-season injuries impacted the NCAAs: Arizona center Loren Woods along with Martin in 2000, Purdue forward Robbie Hummel and Syracuse center Arinze Onuaku in 2010, Kentucky center Nerlens Noel in 2013, Kansas center Joel Embiid in 2014, VCU guard Briante Weber in 2015....
