“At this point, whether some candidates realize it or not, it’s essentially a two-person race,” Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis told Newsweek. “It’s really down to Sanders and Biden.” Three candidates have already dropped out of the race in the hours ahead of Super Tuesday: Billionaire Tom Steyer, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar. But the wild card in the 2020 Democratic field is Michael Bloomberg....

The mandate, which has been in place since January, requires travelers to wear face masks on airplanes, trains, ships, subways, buses, taxis and ride shares as well as in transportation hubs such as airports, train stations, ports for departing boats and bus and ferry terminals. A formal announcement from the Biden administration about the extension of the mask mandate is expected on Thursday, Reuters reported. If so, the extension will occur just one day after the confirmation of the first-known U....

One of YouTube’s original vloggers with 20 million subscribers, Marbles whose real name is Jenna Mourey, announced the move on Thursday in a video entitled “A Message,” where she apologized for past racist and sexist content. “I feel like we’re at a time where we are purging ourselves of anything and everything toxic,” the 33-year-old said. In the video, Mourey references specific videos from 2011 and 2012 in which she wore blackface to impersonate rapper Nicki Minaj, another featuring a rap with a joke about Asian people, and one video in which she decried women who “slept around....

Over the course of the week, details emerged about a potential three-team trade that would involve Brooklyn, Charlotte and Oklahoma City, one that would see the Nets give up oft-injured center Brook Lopez and bring in flighty shooting guard Lance Stephenson, a Brooklyn native.

The combination of a bigger sample size and controlling for situation, looking only at what happens when both teams have five skaters on the ice, gave Corsi and its sister statistic Fenwick a huge advantage in accurately measuring team and player performance. MORE: How a Drew Doughty-Erik Karlsson joint free agency would alter the NHL Even in that raw state, Corsi predicted future goals better than goals themselves did. When it was discovered that teams played differently based on the score, it led to the creation of score-adjusted Corsi....

He is the high-profile signing made by the London club along with nine others in the backroom staff with a director of football set to join the club in February. Mavropanos is the first signing made under Mislintat’s regime and Arsene Wenger confirmed as much and said: The Greek defender is set to be loaned out until the end of the season before joining the first-team in the summer. He represents a shift in management at Arsenal and Mislintat will start to call the shots, especially in terms of signing lesser-known talents....

With Arsenal keeping their eyes on various attacking options this summer, Brahimi could be a smart buy for the Gunners. Brahimi, who played his last season for Porto FC, could sign for free as his contract with the Portuguese side expired on 30th June 2019. In case you didn’t know… Despite starting well with a bunch of new players in the line-up last season, Unai Emery and Co. failed to maintain that velocity till the end of the season....

The unheralded Swedish side were handed a dream tie for their maiden appearance in the knockout stages of a European competition, having progressed through a tricky Group J. Founded in 1996 - shortly after Arsene Wenger had taken charge at Arsenal - Ostersunds have enjoyed a stunning rise under Potter. The former Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion defender guided the club from the fourth division to the top flight with three promotions in five seasons and will now get the chance to lead his team at the Emirates Stadium....

ARVC is uncommon, but not rare. It would be found in 1 out of every 2,000 to 5,000 adults if they were are evaluated for it. ARVC was formally known as arrhthmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. ARVC Symptoms While ARVC is a cardiomyopathy—that is, a heart muscle disease—it only rarely causes muscle problems that are extensive enough to produce heart failure. Rather, its clinical significance is that it can cause abnormal heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias)....

At least 80 Democrats in Congress—including 21 Senate Democrats and Vice President Kamala Harris—support a fourth check, possibly as a part of recurring payments. The White House has said a fourth round of checks might be too costly, but it has also said it would consider another round if Congress proposes it. The proposed amount for the fourth check remains uncertain. Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar has supported recurring payments of $2,000....

After a review by his Liberal Democratic Party supported the acquisition of weapons to take out enemy missile sites, Abe announced last week that “new measures are needed to improve deterrence under the concept of adherence to exclusively defense-oriented policy, within the limits of the constitution and in compliance with international law, and while maintaining the basic division of roles between Japan and the United States.” “This is precisely the role of the government: to protect the lives of the people and to preserve the peaceful lives of the people....

The move came just days after another law took effect making it a felony to provide abortion-inducing medication after seven weeks of pregnancy. The law also introduces penalties, including a fine, or jail time, for doctors sending the medication through the mail. “Texas is looking at the ways that people are navigating around restrictions and trying to essentially make that as unsafe and as frightening for people as possible in order to deter them,” Farah Diaz-Tello, a senior legal counsel for the reproductive justice legal group If/When/How, told The Texas Tribune last week, responding to the new law....

The Spanish international spent eight seasons at the North London club before moving back to his boyhood club Barcelona in the summer of 2011. But the midfielder endured a torrid time in spite of some decent performances and was eventually forced to leave the Catalan club this summer after a three-year spell. The 27-year-old looked to return to the Gunners who had the first refusal rights to sign him if Barcelona were to sell him....

Results using ATO in the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with low-to-intermediate risk APL have been very favorable. These successes have also spurred scientific research investigating the potential use of ATO in many cancers other than APL, including non-leukemia malignancies such as metastatic colon cancer and the brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme. ATO is often combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a retinoid agent used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia....

“Let me be clear. I did not cover up sexual violence,” Briles’ letter reads (via Waco TV station KWTX). “Anyone well-versed in my work as a coach knows that I strove to promote excellence, but never at the sacrifice or safety for anyone.” MORE: Baylor suspends DB after domestic violence accusation Court filings from early February suggest that Briles and his staff knowingly tried to keep his players’ misconduct quiet, though Briles suggested the messages from those filings were taken out of context....

David Popa, 29, creates the giant portraits by swimming out to sea in the freezing water and using charcoal and soil in a spray can to paint the surface of huge blocks of ice. Each portrait has to be created in around four hours as the ice floats would invariably either sink or float away. Popa’s Fractured series came with many challenges as he had to create them in the middle of the freezing Finnish winter....

Joker is the fifth DLC character in Mortal Kombat 11’s first Kombat Pack, and will be followed up by Spawn from the Image Comics’ series of the same name in March. From there the possibilities of who might join the cast in further DLC or in a new installment are limitless, and The Witcher’s protagonist Geralt is an arguably reasonable bet for inclusion.

To be honest, though, it never occurred to me that Sarah Hughes was capable of such majesty. Which is odd, because I actually picked the 16-year-old in NEWSWEEK last year as my upset candidate for the gold in Salt Lake City. But I suspected she might triumph by virtue of solid workmanship and unflappability. Then Hughes began to seem shaky. At the Olympic trials she took a disappointing bronze. And in Salt Lake, a pedestrian routine left her in fourth place after the short program....
