CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — The Winter Olympians who have signed up to stay in Cortina d’Ampezzo’s Athletes Village should not expect luxury accommodations or a cozy fire to snuggle up next to after a long day on the mountain.The temporary Village that will house up to 1,400 athletes and other team members during the Feb. 6-22 Milan Cortina Games consists of 377 rented mobile homes arranged in close proximity to one another on a humid valley floor.The Associated Press was the first international media outlet allowed in for an early look at the facility, which is in an unpopulated…
When Freddie Potts starts for West Ham in the Premier League, they don’t lose.Yes, the sample size is small, their last three games were against Newcastle, Burnley and Bournemouth, and many factors have contributed to West Ham’s turn in form, but Potts is certainly one of them. For Potts, one of those factors is more “fight”, and he’s certainly had to battle to get himself in the first team. Loans to Wycombe and Portsmouth in the previous two seasons have turned the academy product from more than just a tidy footballer, but a player ready to hack it physically at…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon’s investigation of Sen. Mark Kelly over a video that urges American troops to defy “illegal orders” has raised a slew of questions, and some criticism, from legal experts.
