In his classic 2009 book, Going to Extremes, Harvard Law School professor Cass Sunstein reports research by himself and others that explains some key dynamics in shaping social and political views. Under the dynamic of “group polarization,” “[m]embers of a deliberating group usually end up at a more extreme position in the same general direction as their inclinations before deliberation began.” As a result, “much of the time, groups of people end up thinking and doing things that group members would never think or do on their own....

The only format that they own today is the T20 version, in that too they usually miss most of their best players due to the mismanagement of the West Indies board. Their current ICC rankings currently in Test, ODI, and T20 stand at 8th, 9th, and 7th respectively. Even their T20 ranking is languishing at the bottom of the barrel. So, here they are in India to play 2 Tests, 5 ODI’s and 3 T20’s against a team’s whose current rankings are 1st in Test’s, 2nd in ODI’s and 2nd in T20s....

Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker, Michael Dawson and Jan Vertonghen have appeared in every minute of league football for Spurs so far this term, with the same true of Paulinho in the middle of the park: Stats correct as of 12.45pm on Saturday 28th September 2013. This consistency of selection has resulted in four top-flight clean sheets, something it took until just before Christmas to achieve during the 2012/13 campaign, with only Olivier Giroud of Arsenal and John Terry of Chelsea managing to penetrate one of the best defences in the division....

The original iPad Mini drew a lot of flak for having a measly resolution of just 162 ppi, and especially when we’ve been hearing that its competitor Google Nexus 7 could receive an upgrade in the resolution, it makes sense that Apple would follow suit. In the leaked images, we can see that the tablet has a thicker body than the current iPad Mini, which could be because of the Retina Display....

Since the release of the first Apple Watch and its numerous associated wristbands, we’ve seen what a huge difference a strap can make.

In any case, whether you’re rocking an Apple Watch Series 1 or 6 or some other wrist-bound wearable, you have options if you’re looking to upgrade your smartwatch wrist strap....

When Outriders first launched at the start of April, its unique gameplay, promising premise, and all the hype surrounding it were undermined by intense server issues. Players were constantly getting kicked, sometimes stopping them from completing missions and progressing through the story. This was unfortunate for everyone, but those players that just wanted to play the story mode on their own were particularly peeved by it. RELATED: Outriders: How To Specialize Your Weapon Drops...

Facing a do-or-die showdown with rival Canada, the overwhelming favorite in any international hockey tournament, the Americans were eliminated from contention by their neighbors to the north Tuesday after just two games. MORE: World Cup rosters Thanks to the not-as-close-as-it-looked 4-2 outcome in Air Canada Centre, the Canadians and Team Europe advanced to the semifinals from their group, leaving a defeated U.S. to complete its three-game obligation against the Czech Republic on Thursday and then watch from the stands....

Dylan Guenther’s goal in overtime lifted the Canadians to a 3-2 win over Czechia in the 2023 gold-medal game. Canada became the first team in 14 years to win back-to-back titles at the tournament. It was a deja vu moment for Canada. At the 2022 tournament, Canada blew a 2-0 lead in the gold-medal game, but Kent Johnson potted the overtime winner to lift the team to the championships win....

Fans of the speedy hedgehog might assume that anything Sonic related trending on Twitter would have to do with the announcement regarding Sonic’s 30th anniversary celebrations set to take place next year. A slew of merchandise is on the way though the festivities are lacking any game announcement as of yet. But, this is not why Sonic is trending today. It has to do with the fanmade game Sonic Smackdown, created by a group who call themselves ArcForged....

This week, advisers to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) backed Pfizer and BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 5 to 11, saying its benefits outweigh the risks. An advertisement Pfizer released this week featured children who had participated in clinical trials for the jab and called them “super heroes” for helping develop knowledge of the effects of the jab among the young. Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asked for Owen’s reaction, referring to the offer by New York City mayor Bill de Blasio of $100 incentives for children who get their first vaccine dose at a city-run vaccination site or public school site....

For a sport like tennis that has been criticized in recent years as being “too nice,” Kyrgios is perhaps a much-needed, refreshing change. Undoubtedly gifted, Kyrgios is regarded by many, and for good reasons, as the most talented of the NextGen players. But to be fair he doesn’t qualify as a ‘NextGen’ player anymore; he is 24 already, but seems younger because of the lack of significant achievements in his career....

The World No. 1 is not only one win away from his 21st career Grand Slam title — which would be a new record for men’s singles — he’s on the verge of winning the Grand Slam. Yes, the Serbian is close to being the first singles player (man or woman) in 33 years to win every single major trophy in a calendar year. The last player to accomplish the feat was Steffi Graf back in 1988; she actually won the Golden Slam that year, with a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Seoul....

There are some hurdles in life, which no matter how harder you try, just seem to stop you from achieving your goals. If winning the French Open was such an enormous hurdle for the likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, winning the Australian Open for the 2nd time in his career has been Rafael Nadal’s futile pursuit for quite a while now. While the Spaniard tasted success at the Melbourne Park on his very first instance of reaching the final when he defeated his nemesis Federer in five scintillating sets back in 2009, the journey thereafter at the Rod Laver Arena has been full of agony, painful losses, and near misses....

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick admitted that, in hindsight, maybe he should have switched to a back three to give the team more defensive solidity against Aston Villa, as Steven Gerrard’s side dominated after the break to earn a deserved 2-2 draw. However, the German’s in-game management was hardly the only issue on another disappointing evening of Premier League football for United. Mental fragility and familiar midfield problems contributed towards two more dropped points in the quest to finish in the top four....
