Lucius Malfoy is about to boldly go where no one has gone before.

British actor Jason Isaacs, perhaps best known in America for playing Draco"s dad in the Harry Potter franchise,has signed on to play Starfleet"s newest captain in CBS All Access" upcoming Star Trek Discovery.

All we know so far about Isaacs" character is his name: Captain Lorca. Oh, and we know what his chair will look like.

The show, which takes place approximately a decade before the events of the original series, will feature one familiar character: Spock"s father Sarek, played by James Frain (Gotham, True Blood).

The cast also includesThe Walking Dead"s Sonequa Martin-Green as Lorca"s second in command and30 Rock"s Maulik Pancholy as a Starfleetmedical officer. Other roles includeTerry Serpico (Army Wives) as a high-ranking Starfleet admiral, Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as another captain and Mary Wiseman (Baskets) as a cadet who will be assigned to Lorca"s ship, the USS Discovery, after graduation.

Discovery, which began production in late January, will air its premiere episode on CBS before moving to its regular home on the subscription-based All Accessplatform, similar to the way The Good Fight launched in February. But the series has been beset by delays, and executive producer Bryan Fuller was relieved of his command.Originally due in February, the launch date was first pushed to May, and is now planned for late summer or early fall.

Last month, CBS chief Leslie Moonves told the audience at a Morgan Stanley investor conference that he wasn"t worried by the delays: Its important to get it right, and Star Trek is the family jewels.

Andrew Bogut"s life as a Cleveland Cavalier appears to be over barely after it began, with the big Australian needing to be helped from the court with a fracture to his left leg.

Bogut had only been on the court for 58 seconds in his first game with his new team against the Miami Heat on Tuesday (AEDT), when his left leg clipped Okaro White"s right leg in an awkward collision early in the second quarter.

Bogut fractures leg in Cavs debut

Australian NBA centre Andrew Bogut has fractured his left tibia in what was his debut game for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bogut, a former No.1 draft pick, came off second best and was left grimacing in pain on the sidelines before being carried into the rooms by two teammates, unable to put weight on the leg.

He told Cavs staff on the sidelines that he believed his leg was broken and the franchise released a statement later in the day confirming his worst fears.

"Initial x-rays and evaluation at The Q (Quicken Loans Arena) revealed a fractured left tibia," it read.

"Bogut was taken to the Cleveland Clinic for further imaging and evaluation and additional updates will be made as they become available."

Bogut was seen as a major piece of the Cavs" push for back-to-back titles, with the reigning champions going on a recent recruiting spree that saw them pick up Kyle Korver, Deron Williams and Bogut to bolster their squad depth.

The 32-year-old played with the Golden State Warriors against the Cavaliers in the last two NBA Finals series, winning the 2015 title and losing in 2016.

Andrew Bogut clutches his shin.

Bogut spent most of this season playing for the Dallas Mavericks. He was traded by the Mavericks to the Philadelphia 76ers last week before negotiating a contract buyout and then joining NBA champions Cavaliers.

The Melbourne native has long history of injury problems with just 671 career games to his credit at an average of 56 per season.

Andrew Bogut collides with Okaro White.

Before the match the 213cm centre said he was excited to join a team with a legitimate shot at another title.

"It was a tough decision," Bogut said. "It came down to two teams, Boston and Cleveland, and I decided to go with Cleveland, obviously.

"It"s the best opportunity to try to win a championship playing with one of the best, if not the best, players to play the game," he said of joining LeBron James.

"It was a tough decision, in a way, because of the history but I can"t control it. I got traded so I ended up having the luxury of having four or five teams recruit me.

"But at the end of the day, I thought Cleveland was the best chance."

Bogut was only cleared to play against the Heat at the last minute, having had minor via issues to sort.

After it was announced he had been cleared, stand-in Cavs coach Larry Drew hadindicated Bogut might not enter the game at all.

"It"s obvious he doesn"t know any of the things that we"re doing from an offensive and defensive standpoint," Drew said earlier.

"I"m not quite sure yet whether I"ll use him or not."

In Afghanistan,87%percent of women experience some form of physical, sexual or psychological violence in their lifetime. In Iraq, 24%of girls are child brides, married off before their 18th birthdays.These are women who not only endure unimaginable abuse, but have no access to legal protection, no way to earn an income, no way to escape this cycle of oppression.

George Michael Died of Heart Condition, Coroner Says

George Michael - Faith (US Version)

LONDON George Michael, the English singer-songwriter who became a pop legend in the 1980s and 90s and who was found dead on Christmas Day, died of a heart condition, according to a coroners statement released on Tuesday.

Darren Salter, the senior coroner for Oxfordshire County, said Mr. Michael, 53, died at his home in Goring-on-Thames of natural causes: dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver.

Dilated cardiomyopathy develops when the hearts ventricles enlarge and weaken, a process that usually starts in the left ventricle. The weakening of the hearts chambers causes the heart muscle to work harder, and over time that reduces its ability to pump blood.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle.

Fat buildup in the liver can be caused by drinking alcohol, but there is also a common nonalcoholic variant that is related to being overweight or obese. Mr. Michael had a history of hard living: In 2007 he was sentenced to community service and barred from driving for two years after he was found asleep behind the wheel of a car while under the influence of drugs. The following year, he was arrested on suspicion of possessing crack cocaine.

Mr. Salters statement did not specify the cause of the fat building in the liver.

Because the death was natural, the investigation is being discontinued and there is no need for an inquest or any further enquiries, Mr. Salter said in a statement. No further updates will be provided and the family requests the media and public respect their privacy.

Mr. Michael, who was born in London to a British mother and a Greek Cypriot father, started the group Wham! with a high school friend, Andrew Ridgeley. The pair became household names with the 1984 single Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. They split up in 1986, and Mr. Michael began a solo career with his album Faith, released in 1987.

His final studio album featuring new songs was Patience in 2004.

On Monday, Mr. Michael was celebrated at Paris Fashion Week when the designer Stella McCartney closed her show with a procession of models dancing to his song Faith and chanting the words love and faith.

Mr. Michael had famously cast five supermodels who had appeared together on the cover of British Vogue Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz in the David Fincher-directed video for his 1990 song Freedom! 90.
