The men’s curling teams from the two North American nations were the most recent gold-medal winners, with the U.S. having won in 2018 and Canada having won each Olympics from 2006 to 2014. But the two teams lost in the semifinals Thursday, and now will face off against one another in the bronze-medal match with each hoping to leave with some hardware. The two teams largely struggled in the round-robin stage....

FIS men’s race director Markus Waldner says “there is no more time” in the tight schedule to stage the race at another resort before the mid-March end of the season. For the same reason, a giant slalom that was canceled in Garmisch-Partenkirchen last week will also not be rescheduled. Saturday’s race was called off a few hours before its scheduled start. Course workers had already moved 30 centimeters of fresh snow out of the track but it kept snowing....

On Tuesday, the conservative commentator wrote on Twitter that she booked to travel with the airline from Nashville, Tennessee, to London later this month with her family. But Owens—who shares a 9-month-old son with her British husband of two years, George Farmer—stated that her plans were scuppered one week later when she learned the route was canceled and was offered $5,000 credit, instead of a refund.

“I will not move one inch away from that assessment—ever—no matter how flowery the media depictions of him are,” Owens added. Her comment comes days after she backed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Russia created Ukraine, which Putin has used to defend his decision to invade the country. “Ukraine wasn’t a thing until 1989. Ukraine was created by the Russians…They speak Russian,” Owens said on her talk show Tuesday....

While some criticize remakes as a way for developers to milk an old game for profits, others see them as a way to revisit an old favorite with better graphics, improved gameplay, and an overall fresh experience. But, of course, while the success of video game remakes varies, one can’t deny that Capcom’s remakes of its Resident Evil games have set the standard when it comes to what makes a good remake....

Labor is on board with the central objective of McCain-Feingold: elimination of “soft money”-the rivers of unregulated cash from corporations, unions and wealthy individuals that flow to political parties. But it opposes the so-called “electioneering” provision, which bans advertising by unions and corporations for or against specific candidates within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary. Unions believe the provision breaches their constitutional guarantee to free speech and that it singles out both labor and management while leaving other politically active groups unencumbered....

There’s no reason to lose this sense of responsibility—it’s a quality most people will love when they get to know a Capricorn. The trick is for Capricorn to loosen up, stop taking life so seriously, and crack a smile or a joke now and then. Show people their initial impression is totally wrong! Responsibility and fun aren’t mutually exclusive. Capricorn can soften their words by considering how they might sound to other people beforehand and being polite when they want something....

In response, Goodell is turning to virtual reality training at Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab. MORE: Fantasy football draft strategy | Roger Goodell meets with Josh Gordon “He came here to learn about empathy,” Stanford professor Jeremy Bailenson told Recode.net. “He really wanted to understand how to think about issues of race, issues of gender.

With this condition, since the brain relies on one eye more heavily, it causes the other eye’s visual pathway through the brain not to develop properly. This affects around 3 out of 100 kids and is the most common cause of vision loss in children. Amblyopia also can cause problems or even visual impairment in adults if something happens to the better eye. The risk associated with leaving amblyopia untreated include:...

The likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City were among those to pay large sums to bolster their ranks. But no team spent more than Barcelona, who used some of their Neymar money to splash out £117 million on Philippe Coutinho, Yerry Mina and Ballou Tabla. As always, the transfer window was filled with rumours and it’s often easy to lose track of what’s going on. But let’s see how closely you were paying attention....

Is it possible to watch an 85 mph or 90 mph ball? Scientists say that we humans are equipped with rapid eye movements which are also called saccades. When you shift your gaze from one point of a moving object to another point where the object is moving, it takes 0.3 seconds. And an 80 mph (or 128 kmph what is called medium pace. It doesn’t qualify as pace) is moving 4 yards or 3....
