Answers by Adam Endicott, curling since 2010, level 1 USCA instructor Curling is not a physically demanding sport, or at least it does not appear so. Wouldn’t it be nice to have national teams mixed up? Are there mixed curling teams? Curling is much more physically demanding than it first appears. Sweeping in particular is highly demanding. You need to be in excellent shape to effectively sweep for a full game....
Paglia became a media sensation by specializing in quirky, unfashionable opinions; for example, her analysis of Madonna as “the future of feminism.” In brief, Madonna is the future of feminism because she understands sex. We know she understands sex because (a) she portrays herself doing a lot of it and (b) she constantly changes her hair and clothing styles, indicating a profound grasp of none other than … sexual personae....

Why It Works In both, the inspiring upstart shocks the party by capturing more states. (Hart won 28 to Mondale’s 24; at press time, Obama leads Clinton, 20 to 12.) Still, neither 2008 candidate is likely to win the 2,025 pledged delegates needed to clinch the nod, meaning the climax may also mirror 1984: with superdelegates deciding the outcome. Why It Doesn’t Superdelegates and big-state wins put Mondale 623 ahead of Hart before the June primaries: hardly a nail-biter....
Consider the financial upheaval. Since the early 1800s, banks had dominated the system. People and businesses deposited their cash in banks; then the banks made loans. Now, much money bypasses banks. In 1975, banks and savings and loan associations—close cousins—issued 73 percent of all home mortgages. By 2006, their share of the $10 trillion mortgage market was 29 percent. Almost 60 percent had been “securitized”: bundled into bonds and sold to investors (pensions, mutual funds, foreign investors)....
His analysis, posted online at the Nautilus Institute, a Berkeley, Calif., geopolitical think tank ( www.nautilus.org ), asserts that North Korea would enhance its own national security, gain critical economic assistance and avoid American-initiated “regime change” by exploding one of the handful of A-bombs in its arsenal. He says Pyongyang has good reason to bet that none of the region’s big powers—the United States, China, Russia and Japan—will do more than voice strenuous objections and impose symbolic punishments....

Ever since prosecutors charged O.J. Simpson with the brutal murder of his ex-wife and her friend,they had known there was one gaping problem in proving him guilty. They had, in their own phrase, “a mountain” of circumstantial evidence – incriminating bloodstains and 45 minutes of unalibied time on the night of the murders. But how could they convince a jury that someone as likable, as famous, as charming as O....

That’s not hyperbole, either. This season he set the single-season record for worst free-throw percentage (35.5) and now owns three of the five worst single-season free-throw percentages in the history of the league (he’s played only four seasons). Oh, and if seasonal records aren’t your thing, he also set the single-game record for missed free throws by going 13 for 36 from the line against the Rockets in January....

Gobert figured it out the hard way that you don’t try to block Wiggins when he’s streaking down the lane looking like he’s about to tear the rim off.
