Answer by Anita Sanz, Clinical Psychologist Most social scientists who study the psychology of sports fans would say that it has to do with the NFL fan identifying with the team so strongly that the outcome of the game has emotional and even physiological consequences for the fan....

“Muhammad Ali was truly the greatest — an athlete who transcended sports to become a global icon,” Janet Evans, who passed Ali the Olympic torch in 1996, said in a statement to Omnisport. “He inspired me, and millions of others around the world, to be the best version of ourselves. Passing the Olympic torch to Muhammad to light the cauldron at the Atlanta Games in 1996 was the defining moment of my career, and a memory I will treasure forever, as much as any of the medals I won....

The news, while significant, was unsurprising to those who had doubted the longevity of Stadia since its creation, owing to a growing list of abandoned Google projects over the years. Refunds are welcome news, but of course, users are disappointed about losing access to their library. Amidst all of this, however, are some more long-term conversations that resurface in the digital gaming space. Regardless of how the closure affects gamers on an individual basis, the end of Google Stadia is a bleak reminder of the fragility of the approaching all-digital video games industry....

OA is often progressive, and the symptoms can get worse over time. OA can be classified into stages, which helps direct the treatment plan. Your medical providers will assess your symptoms, X-rays, blood tests, and other laboratory tests to define your OA stage. The amount of time it takes to reach an advanced stage of OA varies. For some people, the disease worsens slowly and may take years to reach stage four, but others may see it progress quickly within several months....

Swift reportedly wrote “Christmas Tree Farm” over the Thanksgiving weekend. The lyrics and accompanying music video, which uses home videos, will likely have thinkpieces flooding your feeds for days to come.

The first Democratic debate of the year has come and gone and now is the time to enjoy the 24 glorious days there will be before the next debate. There will be three debates in February in as many weeks, along with the first caucuses and primaries of the year. Here’s what else you need to know today: It’s Time The House is expected to vote on sending the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate today....

You may have thought that clubs getting into financial difficulty was a recent phenomenon. The plight of Portsmouth, Luton, Chester City and Halifax Town are well documented as well as many other clubs who have entered administration over recent years, including Southampton, Swansea, Crystal Palace and Derby County. But this is not a new feature of a post Premier League English football industry, as the circumstances surrounding Bristol City in the early 80s illustrates....

RELATED: The Worst Gen 3 Pokemon in Pokemon GO - Ranked When Gen 3 was introduced on Game Boy Advance in 2002, it was through Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, and the Regional Pokédex did not disappoint. Gen 3 gave us some fantastic new Pokemon and brought back some of the strongest creatures from past generations. However, some are stronger than others. Here are the strongest Pokemon in the Ruby and Sapphire games, according to their stats....

The sublingual glands produce very little saliva—only between 3% and 5% of the total volume—and make secretions composed predominantly of mucus, a slippery liquid that lubricates and protects organs. The secretions produced by the sublingual glands aid in the earliest stages of digestion and keep the inside of your mouth moist. “Lingual” refers to the tongue and “sub” means below, so the word “sublingual” literally means below the tongue....

It isn’t exactly a news flash these days when Americans score behind the curve on international tests. But educators say this study is important because it monitored variables both inside and outside the classroom. Laziness–the factor often blamed for Americans’ poor performance–is not the culprit here. American students actually spend more time in class than pupils in Japan and Germany. Not only that, they get more homework and watch the same amount of TV....

Biden is wrong. The Court has no sweeping, majestic power to “ensure justice.” Indeed, it is a myth that courts can “strike down” laws at all. Rather, judges have a very limited power: to enjoin specific government officials from enforcing laws against specific litigants. The judiciary cannot simply erase statutes from the book. And when the government plays no role at all in enforcing a statute—as with S.B. 8—courts cannot “block” that law from going into effect....

Thursday’s ruling is a beautiful, hard-fought victory, and the road to it was paved by the fearless undocumented immigrants who came before, as well as generations of black organizers and activists who championed racial justice and civil rights and continue their fight to defend black lives today. As a DACA recipient from Colorado who has lived nearly her entire life in the United States, this victory feels incredible, but no matter what the Supreme Court decided, the fact is that my home is here....

Everyone tells fish stories once in a while, exaggerating a tale for dramatic effect, and if they claim they never have, well, that’s a fish story in itself. But there’s a difference between telling your Aunt Mitzi that you caught a fish that was two feet long when it was actually 15 inches, and falsely claiming you wrote the Haitian Constitution (vice presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1920), or had helped liberate Nazi death camps (President Ronald Reagan to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and separately to Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal in 1983)....

Translated into dollar terms, the damage looks less serious. A 10 percent rise in state-college tuition might come to $250 a year. That’s a lot to the poor, on top of everything else they pay. But it’s peanuts to the better-off students, who increasingly populate state schools. In the 1991-92 academic year, some 30 percent of the dependent undergraduates at the University of California came from families with incomes of more than $80,000 a year....

Windows XP Chances are good that you have worked on a Windows XP computer at some point, and that’s why it’s on this list. XP was popular and long-lived. Windows XP, released in 2001, still has a larger worldwide market share than Windows 8 or Windows Vista. It dominated the market for years, and that longevity speaks to how good XP was. XP was a rapid success, despite an early stumble....

In order to create the perfect score for the show, Buckley had to get a “crash course” in Neil Gaiman’s comic books so that he could understand the show and its hero, Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge). “Neil was very much a part of the show, the new incarnation of his comics, the latest manifestation of it, so it paid dividends, I think, to know what he originally dreamed up, no pun intended, and just to get to know the absolute DNA [of it],” Buckley told Newsweek....

Taking this creative and innovative move might be a huge step for the success of the forthcoming PS4 that’s anticipated to roll out by the end of this year. Hoping to make the computer-generated characters look real, Mark Cerny, Lead System Architect, PS4 addressed the audience at Develop In Brighton 2013. He said that this move will make gamers so engrossed in the game that they might overlook the fact that they are looking at CGI rather than captured video....

Meanwhile, the Bush administration is beginning the long, hard process of fighting Al Qaeda, the shadowy network that has been behind almost every attack on American citizens in the last decade. It is trying to find an effective military response to the barbarism of Sept. 11. It is constructing a coalition that will root out and destroy Al Qaeda and its many branches. And it is trying to ensure that the short-term goal of the strike does not impair the long-term war by fracturing the alliance....

Ramani Durvasula—a clinical psychologist who has appeared with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith on the Red Table Talk show, as well as with Kendall Jenner on Vogue’s YouTube channel—told Newsweek: “Trying to fix it on their own may not work. There is a reason [why] therapists exist and things may just worsen if people try to take on big issues on their own,” she explained. A January 2020 study published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Psychology stated: “Couples therapy is unique in that it requires the therapist to work with and build a therapeutic alliance with both members of the couple together....

Faced with an evenly split Senate and an upcoming race in Georgia that could put the Senate back in Republican hands, the GOP has embarked on a widespread program of voter suppression. As the Washington Post reports,“in 43 states across the country, Republican lawmakers have proposed at least 250 laws that would limit mail, early in-person and Election Day voting with such constraints as stricter ID requirements, limited hours or narrower eligibility to vote absentee....
