In a blog post published on Monday, the company announced that it’s providing fact checks for individual photos, based off of information from sources that Google deems reliable. According to the post, the sources that Google is pulling from utilize the resource ClaimReview, which lets them notify search engines of fact checks. “The power of visual media has its pitfalls⁠—especially when there are questions surrounding the origin, authenticity or context of an image,” reads the post, which is credited to Harris Cohen, Google’s Group Product Manager....

* Romney complained that McCain used "the wrong data" about job creation to support his assertion that Massachusetts had ranked 47th among the 50 states while Romney was governor. Romney was wrong; McCain was correct. * Romney said his hundreds of millions of dollars in "fee increases" merely caught up with years of inflation and weren't tax increases in disguise. Independent budget experts contradict him on that. * Romney said the over-budget costs of his Massachusetts health care plan were due to changes made by his successor....

In what researchers have dubbed the Eighty Five Percent Rule, failing 15 percent of the time and succeeding the remainder is the optimum way to gain new skills and information. Otherwise if the challenge is too easy we don’t learn. Too hard, and we’re likely to be put off and give up. To arrive at this percentage, the authors of the paper published in the journal Nature Communications taught computers simple tasks, like telling the difference between patterns or reading and sorting handwritten numbers....

Jennings just finished his first season with the Giants, joining the team after getting the biggest contract (four years, $10 million) of his now six-year career. An ankle injury limited him to 11 games, but he still produced 865 yards from scrimmage and was a valuable leader to a team transitioning to a new offense. As he’s about to turn 30 in March, Jennings told Sporting News that his faith played a huge role in helping him endure until his big opportunity arrived....

Whether it’s a Super Bowl squares pool, a straight moneyline bet on the winner, a complicated and ridiculous parlay, or a random prop bet on whether JoJo Natson Jr. will score the final touchdown of the game (100-to-1 odds, if you’re curious), gambling is what really makes the Super Bowl the biggest sporting event of the year. You can bet on just about anything regarding the Super Bowl, but what if you could really bet on anything?...

The day following the Peach Bowl semifinal at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium — a 42-41 victory for top-ranked Georgia — the Falcons’ social media team tweeted the following video of Younghoe Koo kicking a chip-shot 21-yard field goal to beat the Cardinals 20-19. The Falcons captioned the video, “This is how you make a game-winning field goal at @MBStadium.” Apart from the unsavory prospect of making fun of an amateur athlete, the Falcons’ tweet also failed to mention that Koo, a 2020 Pro Bowl player, made his field goal from 21 yards out, whereas Ruggles’ was from 50....

In a Tuesday press conference at Falcons headquarters, head coach Mike Smith called the report of Jones being out for the season "premature at this time.'' However, he said the results of the team examination earlier in the day "were not encouraging, but we will wait to see what the second opinion comes back as.'' It wasn't clear exactly when Jones got hurt, but Smith said that as far as he knew, it was before Jones' stunning one-handed diving grab over the Jets' Antonio Cromartie with around five minutes to go in the game....

The Falcons capitalized on a pair of New Orleans turnovers and cruised to a 45-32 victory in which both defenses decided to take the night off as the teams combined for 916 yards of offense.

The top-seeded Eagles earned the win with a goal-line stand in the final minute of the game. Matt Ryan led the Falcons down the field to the 2-yard line, but they couldn’t punch the ball in. On fourth-and-goal with just more than a minute left, Ryan threw to Julio Jones in the end zone, but his pass fell incomplete. The Eagles’ defense shut out the Falcons in the second half....

Eagles linebacker Travis Long tore the ACL in his left knee during Monday’s practice and will miss the 2015 season. He suffered the same injury in the same knee during the team’s final preseason game last year. He’ll likely be waived and go on injured reserve if he goes unclaimed.

The Eagles fired Super Bowl-winning coach Pederson on Monday following a tumultuous 2020 NFL campaign. MORE: Ranking the best candidates to replace Doug Pederson Pederson, who was hired in 2016, led the Eagles to their first Super Bowl title in his second season at the helm but Philadelphia struggled this season to a 4-11-1 finish. Wentz’s form resulted in the franchise quarterback — who signed a four-year, $128 million contract extension in 2019 — being benched in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts in Week 13, raising serious questions over his future in Philadelphia....

The topic came to the forefront following the trade of running back LeSean McCoy to the Bills in exchange for linebacker Kiko Alonso. McCoy was upset with the move, later making an allusion to Kelly as a racist, by saying there was a reason Kelly “got rid of all the black players” because Kelly doesn’t like or respect the star players.

The eardrum is part of a complex system involved in the hearing process. It also protects the middle ear from debris and bacteria. Sometimes an infection may cause the eardrum to rupture. Symptoms of a ruptured eardrum include hearing loss, ear pain, itching, and fluid draining from the ear. Usually, eardrums that rupture heal on their own. Anatomy The eardrum has three layers: the outer layer, inner layer, and middle layer....

Mount Toba is a supervolcano on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Its caldera forms what is now Lake Toba—the largest crater lake in the world. Following its eruption, there is thought to have been a volcanic winter, with temperatures plummeting for many years. This eruption—the biggest on Earth in the last two million years—coincided with early human migration out of Africa and into Asia. What impact this event may have had on these people has been of much interest to scientists....

Earnhardt passed teammate Jimmie Johnson for the lead on a green-white-checkered restart and had a healthy advantage on Kevin Harvick when Kurt Busch was turned by Clint Bowyer, resulting in a caution and another two-lap dash to the finish. Harvick, who had four fresh tires from a recent pit stop while Earnhardt had just two, easily passed Earnhardt on the next green-flag lap to capture the Bojangles Southern 500. Earnhardt had to settle for second....

That's not to say that James has played poorly, just that his production this season (25.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists) has come down from last season's astronomical plane (26.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists). It would be foolish to think that those numbers mean James has hit some sort of plateau, though. As one Eastern Conference scout told Sporting News, "He is better this year, actually. He keeps making the game easier for himself, finding ways to get easy baskets....
