With no participation from the National Hockey League and a women’s team vying for gold, Team USA announced its rosters for its ice hockey teams competing at the 2018 Winter Olympics. The highly anticipated rosters were announced January 1 at an intermission during the 2018 Winter Classic and come ahead of the first Winter Olympics the NHL has not participated in since 1994. That means the men’s ice hockey team competing in PyeongChang, South Korea is a combination of former NHL players, minor league players and college athletes.

Two months ago, I was convinced that my husband had lost his mind. Preparing to leave for his job as a Wall Street accountant one morning, he wore his usual crisp black suit, a BlackBerry in his pocket and a new accessory: an unkempt 8 o’clock shadow. “I am growing a beard,” he explained. “They are sooo in right now.” He had a point. Everywhere you look these days–on late-night talk shows, on Super Bowl offensive lines, at Federal Reserve Board meetings and maybe even in the next cubicle or across the dinner table–beards that typically resemble two to three weeks of stubble are adorning male faces.

Say and think what you will about Kanye West — about his ego and politics and mental health and indefensible public statements and all the rest of it — but he actually is a musical genius, at least by the contemporary definition of the term.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s almost 40-year membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated (AKA) has been reported on since she first ran for elected office in 2003. Harris's campaigns for U.S. Senator and President have found support from members of AKA and the other eight Black Greek Letter organizations known collectively as the Divine 9. While a 501(c)(7) status prohibits the Divine 9 from endorsing any candidate, in 2020 members donned their respective organizational colors to support get-out-the-vote efforts.

Sporting a gray double-breasted suit, slicked-back curls and a slide rule, rocket engineer Wernher von Braun cuts a suave, authoritative figure in Disney’s 1955 television special Man and the Moon. Speaking with a German accent, the then-director of development at the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Huntsville, Ala., uses a series of models and illustrations to explain how America will reach the moon — with the aid of an enormous nuclear-powered space station, of course.

So much so that more visitors than ever are focking to his former house in Salt Lake City, Utah, TMZ reports . A tenant of the two-storey boarding home told TMZ that the amount of people wanting to look around the house, which was home to Ted Bundy from 1974-1975 while he attended the nearby law school, has increased since the release of the series and the film trailer.

“Do you have the kind of bullet that killed Lincoln?” asked a tourist buying a Derringer pistol, wearing a God Bless America t-shirt. I looked up from the counter a bit confused. I’d come in late after watching Steven Spielberg and Doris Kearns Goodwin speak at Gettysburg’s Soldiers’ National Cemetery for the 149th Remembrance Day, the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s address. I was cold and my coffee had only begun to wake me up.

Modern Valentine’s Day rituals are much maligned. The overpriced flowers. The overcrowded dinners. The overwrought poetry that greeting card companies sell for $5 a pop. But 21st century lovers are at least given the freedom to choose the person upon whom they will shower obligatory presents. Centuries ago, chance played a much bigger role in the process. In the 17th and 18th centuries — and possibly as far back as the 15th, which would be not too long after Valentine’s Day first gained its association with love — it was customary for people in Europe to choose their Valentines by drawing lots.

September 4, 2014 5:47 PM EDT Props to this baby goat named Lily, which is working hard to make her dreams come true. Those dreams are to ride a skateboard, in a fully functional manner, getting all four legs on the board. Her humans try to help her a little bit, but it’s clear that they want to let her achieve this goal on her own, which is admirable. When you’re done watching Lily work hard to accomplish her goals, check out these other baby goats just doing baby goat things.

New York City, according to some of its leaders, is being “overwhelmed” as never before by migrants. Their sheer numbers, and the costs of housing and feeding them, has triggered an unprecedented crisis. Everywhere one looks, it seems, “lazy” newcomers congregate on street corners, in parks, and in front of shelters. They appear to have “no plan, and no energy to form one.”  Rather than support themselves, they beg or steal or seek charity and government handouts.
