Cavani struck twice either side of a clever finish from Angel Di Maria to secure the three points that put the champions level with Monaco at the top of the table on 55, albeit having played a game more. PSG face an eagerly anticipated Champions League last-16 meeting with Barca next week and Friday’s performance will give Unai Emery plenty of confidence in their chances of springing a surprise on the Spanish champions....

That culture of resentment forms half of the dynamic Davidow sees at the core of the U.S.-Mexico relationship. The other half is the arrogant attitude of the United States–the bear in the title. (The porcupine represents Mexico’s prickly attitude toward its big northern neighbor.) The analogy struck a chord in Mexico when the Spanish-language edition was published last fall. (It hit U.S. bookstores in English last week.) The United States was “sick with arrogance,” Mexican historian Enrique Krauze commented, while Mexico was still mired in a “schizophrenic” mix of admiration and resentment....

Bose is mostly recognized for its great active-noise-canceling over-the-ear headphones—but much less so for its earbuds. These new QuietComfort Earbuds II, however, blew me away with their ability to make disruptions disappear. Equally as important is their new refined fit. They’re less bulky and intrusive, at least for my ears. Travel use might be how you convince yourself to stomach their $299 price, but these earbuds will be advantageous in many different scenarios....

Redditor u/Agile_Imagination_40, who is from British Columbia, Canada, shared a screenshot of the conversation after they put in their two-week notice at work. With more than 45,000 upvotes, the post has enraged the internet who have jumped to condemn the employer’s response. In the screenshot, the message exchange is between the Redditor and a contact labeled McDonald’s, one text reads: “Hey Janette. I’m going to put in my two weeks today,” and the reply says: “Ohhh damn, u have a new job?...

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Tsarnaev’s death sentence reversal by the First Circuit Court of Appeals was improperly managed due to potential juror questionnaire discrepancies. The court ruled 6-3 in favor of the Biden administration’s arguments to reinstate the sentence. “The Government argues that the Court of Appeals improperly vacated Dzhokhar’s capital sentences based on the juror questionnaire and the Waltham evidence,” the court wrote. “We agree.” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion, saying that the original death sentence ruling was fairly given....

Bush’s behind-the-scenes assurances may help to quiet a rising chorus of voices inside Israel’s defense community that are calling for unilateral military action against Iran. Olmert, asked by NEWSWEEK after Bush’s departure on Friday whether he felt reassured, replied: “I am very happy.” A source close to the Israeli leader said Bush first briefed Olmert about the intelligence estimate a week before it was published, during talks in Washington that preceded the Annapolis peace conference in November....

A sheriff’s official who spoke on condition of anonymity said that several properties were being investigated and authorities conducted a search warrant over the weekend, but declined to say whether he believed arson was to blame for the blaze. The Marshall Wildfire destroyed nearly 1,000 homes and structures and spurred tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes in the suburban area between Boulder and Denver. Crews searched two locations for any human remains as two people remained missing in the fire’s aftermath....

The disease only impacts the very outer layer of the skin, and the patches are not typically painful. Many people with Bowen’s disease have no other symptoms. In this article, you’ll learn more about the symptoms of Bowen’s disease, possible complications, and when to see a doctor. Frequent Symptoms The most common symptoms of Bowen’s disease are patches of reddish-brown skin that may be scaly or dry. The slow-growing patches may:...

By mid-2020, I had purchased a rowing machine to take advantage of the extra time I had in light of widespread stay-at-home orders. I would have preferred a treadmill, but I went with a minimal rowing machine that folded up smaller than any decent treadmill would have because of the limited space I had available. I don’t regret the rowing machine, per se, but it turned out not to be the right piece of home gym equipment for me....

First things first, of course. Alvarado is no chump. So Marquez, a hero in Mexico, is rightly focusing on his contest at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. "I'm interested in it, of course, but I have to get past Mike Alvarado on Saturday and that's not an easy fight," said Marquez, who is three months shy of 41. "Alvarado is a big, strong guy and he's going to be a challenge for me....

“Chasing Amy” looks plain, but it takes some big risks. For starters, it’s about a straight white dude–comic-book artist Holden (Ben Affleck)-who falls in love with a lesbian comic-book artist named Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams). Holden’s best friend and partner Banky (Jason Lee) is at first concerned, then jealous and horrified when the bright, wild, sexy Alyssa reciprocates. (Undoubtedly some gay women will be appalled, too.) But “Chasing Amy” is no paean to heterosexuality....

His offseason this year obviously was quite different than a year ago. That’s what happens when a driver goes from winning his first Cup championship to finishing 14th in the standings and missing the Chase.

Bradley scored a stunning goal as the U.S. held Hexagonal leader and rival Mexico to a 1-1 draw at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. U.S. player slams Klinsmann Amid political tension between the two nations, Bradley gave the travelling contingent something to cheer about with a delightful chipped effort from 35 yards in the sixth minute. Carlos Vela equalized before halftime as the hosts earned a share of the spoils, which kept the CONCACAF pacesetters six points clear....

Aspiring tycoons aren’t the only ones fretting over their memories. Life in the Information Age strains everyone’s processing capacity–and countless Americans are turning to supplements to improve, or at least preserve, whatever they’ve got. Ginkgo sales have exploded recently (reaching more than $100 million last year), and it’s just one of many substances now being peddled, and gobbled, as brain tonics (chart). Mixtures with brand names like Mental Edge, Neuroboost and Clear Thoughts now crowd the shelves of health-food stores–along with candy bars dubbed Think and Smart....

The role of environmental exposures, though not well understood at this time, deserves further research, as the incidence of brain tumors has been increasing significantly in industrialized countries. Common Risk Factors A risk factor is something that is associated with the development of a disease such as cancer but doesn’t necessarily cause that disease. People who have a risk factor for developing a brain tumor won’t necessarily develop one. Likewise, many people who develop brain tumors have no known risk factors for the disease....

The Rams receiver was placed in the concussion protocol after the team’s Week 5 loss to the Seahawks but was cleared to return in Week 6 against the 49ers. However, he went back into the concussion protocol following last Sunday’s win over the Bengals after a helmet-to-helmet collision in the first quarter. “He’s feeling good,” Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters (via the team’s website). “He’s very aware of what’s going on and he can talk about what occurred pre-concussion....

The unit’s reputation and continuing excellence explains why Carr says “my heart was pounding and my palms were sweating” when the Ravens spoke to him on the telephone about possibly selecting him before the 2008 draft. And while he didn’t get the opportunity to “wear that black” until almost a decade later, Carr is now playing a big role in helping the 2017 Ravens make their first two opponents blue....

Marshall has said this before, but his explanation in a recent story from the New York Daily News sheds more light on why a wide receiver still at the top of his game would so willingly leave the game, would so willingly end his career in MetLife Stadium in New Jersey before deigning to wear a new jersey.

Rios never had an alternate plan as he plowed forward in hopes of wearing down Soto and eventually steamrolling his way to victory. Instead, Soto banked the early rounds with activity and movement before managing his gas tank late by picking his spots and exploding in the final seconds of each round....
