Both leaders met with a handful of sports editors Thursday to field questions about some of the major issues plaguing their sports — one of which is finding a better way to eliminate the widening chasm between basketball at the college and professional levels.

Eyes that have emmetropia do not require vision correction. When a person has emmetropia in both eyes, the person is described as having ideal vision. When an eye is emmetropic, light rays coming into the eye from a distance come to perfect focus on the retina. If the eye is an abnormal length or the cornea is abnormally shaped, chances are you will not be emmetropic. If a person’s eye is longer than average, light may be focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it....

Emoni Bates was so eager to join the Tigers, so eager to become their second top-five recruit from the 2021 class, he jumped his own commitment announcement by roughly 24 hours. Or maybe Bates just forgot what day it was, a problem for many of us in the pandemic era. Once considered the hottest prospect in all of American youth basketball, Bates announced Wednesday he is committing to Memphis. His father, Elgin, had said just yesterday that such news would come Friday, but now it’s out....

Read on to learn more about emotional detachment and how to treat it. What Is Emotional Detachment? Emotions are more than just how we feel. They help determine how we react to situations, influence social functioning, and facilitate bonding with other people.

The Indomitable Lions came from a goal down to silence Egypt for their fifth title at the Stade de l’Amitié on Sunday, which mean they will represent Africa at the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia. Eto’o via social media paid tribute to Marc-Vivien Foé who collapsed and passed on in the 73rd minute of the Confederations Cup semi-final between Cameroon and Colombia at Lyon’s Stade de Gerland. According to him, Hugo Broos’ men will make the fallen hero proud when the competition begins in Russia in June....

Since his victory over the coup makers two weeks ago, the president of the Russian Republic has displayed a flair for highhanded gestures, issuing orders to and for the national government. As the old Soviet empire crumbled, Yeltsin seemed ready to remake the union in Russia’s image. He staked a claim to the seat of power in Moscow. “The Kremlin is the property of Russia,” he said, “not of ’the center’....

T orres at the double in last game at the Calderon The route to the stadium passes by Paseo de los Melancolicos (Promenade of the Melancholic) and before the match, Atletico fans raised a banner which read “Paseo de los Melacolicos, Manzanares (the river right behind the stadium), how we love you.” These fans never wanted to move. This stadium and this neighbourhood are part of their identity and it is the board that decided to sell up and move out of town to the new Wanda Metropolitano ground, which will be bigger and more modern, but not really in keeping with the working-class traditions of this club....

Not many would’ve predicted all four would make the squad, with Pizarro only 19, Ponce coming off a poor 2013, Perez’s Atlas having an awful time and Pulido not having nailed down a starting spot at Tigres until relatively recently. But while all four will get their chance to impress Herrera first hand in training and, perhaps, on the field against Korea Republic, the omission of Carlos Salcido and Gerardo Torrado is also worth picking up on....

Tampa inked the center to a three-year bridge deal that carries an AAV of $6.75 million the team announced on Monday. In total, the contract is worth $20.25 million. NHL FREE AGENCY 2019: Signings tracker for all 31 teams’ RFAs, UFAs The 23-year-old played in 79 games for the Lightning last season, impressing with a career-high 41 goals (tied for second with Nikita Kucherov) and 92 points, good for third on the team in scoring....

Here’s the truth—there is no shortage of experienced truck drivers. In an industry with a turnover rate north of 90 percent, the real shortage is one of decent jobs. For years, the trucking industry has gotten away with stealing from workers and defrauding the public through a deliberate scheme of worker misclassification. By labeling their drivers as “independent contractors”—while treating them as employees—these unscrupulous employers deny drivers fundamental rights like the minimum wage, health and safety protections and the right to form a union with their coworkers to bargain a contract and gain a voice on the job....

The camera transmits back a picture onto a screen in the exam room, giving your healthcare provider a first-hand look at what’s going on inside the body. Definition There are many different types of endoscopy used to evaluate the joints, chest, abdomen, or colon. The procedure is commonly used to help with diagnosis and treatment planning. It can also be used as an intervention. In those cases, tools can be attached to the endoscope to take tissue samples, remove small tumors or stuck pieces of debris, stop internal bleeding, or stretch narrow areas....

Now it seems clear that someone with access to disturbingly detailed intelligence is trying to do just that. Over an 11-day period last month, would-be assassins managed twice to penetrate Musharraf’s tight security cordon and detonate powerful bombs. The first obliterated a bridge seconds after the president had whizzed by. Days later, two suicide bombers died attempting to ram Musharraf’s convoy. Pakistani intelligence forces have already identified one of the bombers: Muhammad Jamil, 23, had ties to Kashmiri militant groups and anti-U....

Announcing a new set of England-wide restrictions to members of Parliament (MPs) in London, Johnson will return the country to a similar level of lockdown seen at the start of the pandemic in March. He rejected claims he has acted more slowly than other European countries to stem the second surge in cases, arguing his move to national measures has been “faster than in France”. The second wave has swept across Europe, where harsh lockdowns in the spring were followed by a summer of being encouraged to travel and dine out once again....

The result — not a surprise, based on the extremely tired performances produced by players running on empty — leaves the visitors top of Group A3 on five points, while England remain bottom of the pile on two. Played at Wolves’ home of Molineux, the game was held officially ‘behind closed doors’ as a punishment for the violent disorder by fans around Wembley on the day of the Euro 2020 final between these teams last year....

Despite the recent transfer period seeing Neymar become the world-record signing with a €222 million move to Paris Saint-Germain and Ousmane Dembele make a big-money switch to Barcelona, it is the English top-flight that remains the biggest spender. All the latest PL odds FIFA’s analysis of the big five countries - England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France - shows clubs reached a new level of spending in the summer, with a total of $3....

On Friday morning, the Football Association (FA) announced games in the Premier League and EFL—which governs the second, third and fourth tier of professional soccer in England—will be suspended until April 3. Games in the FA Cup and the women’s super league will also be suspended. “The Premier League, FA, EFL and WSL have collectively agreed to postpone the professional game in England,” the Premier League said in a statement....

Scientists have known about comet C/2017 K2 for several years—the Hubble telescope observed it back in 2017 when it was the farthest active inbound comet ever seen. At that time the icy space ball was a huge 1.5 billion miles away from our star—even further away than Saturn. Even at that distance, the comet, estimated to be roughly 12 miles across or less, was heating up and had developed an 80,000 mile-wide cloud of dust and gas around it....

SBI was originally designed to support intestinal health in farm animals, but more recently has been evaluated for treating enteropathy (intestinal disease) in humans, including addressing the loose and frequent stools of IBS-D. The product is derived from cows and is comprised of approximately 90% protein. The product is not absorbed at the level of the stomach or small intestine so that it makes its way intact into the large intestine....

Wilson, one of the world’s leading experts on ants and a prominent thinker on evolution, knows this as well as anyone. But he doesn’t think scientists should have to go into battle alone. He wants to enlist an army of evangelicals to the cause–rejecting both the militant atheism of British biologist Richard Dawkins, and the currently fashionable attempts to bridge the differences between science and religion. “The gap between the two world views is very wide, and it’s widening,” he says....

The travails of Ano Liossia have lately been headlined across Europe as the worst of a widely shared problem. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Just head north to ecosensitive Germany, where the ethos of dutiful citizenship extends to one’s rubbish. There, dumping in the Grecian manner has been outlawed. Most landfill sites have been shut; those that remain accept only the trickiest materials that defy recycling. And through a mastery of modern alchemy, big business is turning trash into treasure....
