It S Time To Take The Ducks Seriously

I’m speaking as someone who utilizes underlying data to form opinions about players and teams. If you’re going to come at me with “watch the game” remarks, let me assure you, I do. I don’t really care who’s playing — if there’s a game on, I’m probably going to be watching it, but I can’t watch every single game. And I certainly can’t watch every single player. Sometimes, I miss something because it’s impossible to catch every single little detail that takes place over the course of those 60-65 minutes of action....

It S Time To Update The U.S. Approach To Israeli Rights Abuses Opinion

Much of what Biden said about the conflict would have sounded familiar from U.S. presidents of decades past. But time has not stood still. The Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has deepened its oppressive, discriminatory rule of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem—a trend that was only accelerated by former President Donald Trump’s unconditional embrace of Netanyahu. Biden should recognize that disturbing reality and move away from the talking points of his predecessors....

It Seems Everyone Has It

It’s too soon to say if the Millennium Flu will be unusually widespread or severe, but anecdotes and statistics both suggest that it has struck with unusual swiftness. In the last week of 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 35 states reported “regional” or “widespread” flu outbreaks (map), more than triple the number a year ago; of the specimens collected by doctors and sent to the CDC for testing since October, 14 percent were positive for flu–more than 7 times the percentage at this time last year....

It Tells Time Too

The watches are part of the move toward wearable technology, says Fossil’s Donald Brewer, who adds that the stylish add-ons can be profitable. “If someone is already spending $200 or $300 for a cell phone or PDA or iPod, they’ll spend a little more for something that’s a statement of who they are.” The watches will start at $150 and go above $300. Brewer sees profits in differentiating the style of the watches and their distribution channels, even if they carry the same technology....

It Took Two Years But John Delaney Finally Got His Debate Moment

That was indeed one of the lines thrown out during Tuesday’s second round of Democratic debates, and came from none other than spiritual writer Marianne Williamson who manifested a surprising amount of love from the Detroit audience (speaking of love, Williamson again used her closing speech to advocate for spreading more love around the country…). The Seinfeld reference, intended or not, was also a tidy summation of the evening, which gave candidates the time to really debate with—and yell over—one another but still kind of amounted to a whole lot of “yada, yada, yada....

Italian Right Wing Party Emerges With Strong Chance To Top September Poll

Almost half of the support enjoyed by the right-wing bloc (24.3 percent) could be credited solely to the Brothers of Italy, while the League and Forza Italia trailed with 12.9 and 11.4 percent of the vote respectively....

Italy Is Finally Back At The Fiba Basketball World Cup

As a matter of fact, despite average-to-good results in Eurobasket competitions following the failed qualification to the edition of 2009, the only generation of Italians with multiple NBA players never had the opportunity to shine in the bigger competitions such as the Olympics or FIBA Basketball World Cup itself (with the exception of a 20-year-old Marco Belinelli in 2006). In 2013 the eighth place in Eurobasket was the first one that failed to qualify for the World Cup, and Italy’s loss against Serbia meant the possibility to participate in the tournament was lost....
