PROBLEM: Shaun White Wins Gold In Halfpipe At The Winter Olympics
Updated at 10:15 p.m.  ET
Shaun White  pulled off a gold-medal comeback in the halfpipe  and Japan's Ayumu Hirano won silver on the strength of a phenomenal second run.
CORRECTION: An early version of this story reported that  White  had won silver — that was reported after the second run had completed. On his third run   White  won gold.
 White  missed out on a medal back in 2014  when  he  was hurt at the Sochi Games.  He 's now the only snowboarder ever to win three gold medals at the Olympics. And  he  did it by winning the 100th gold medal for the U.S. Winter Olympic team.
After the Japanese snowboarder's rousing run  the pressure shifted to James and  White . James seemed to take a very deep breath before he set off on his second run. The first section was great — but he couldn't get a clean landing on one of his final tricks.  White  came out with energy and speed — but  he  fell midway through  and mustered only 55 points.
The situation reversed in the third and final run  when  White  earned a 97.75 and both of  his  top rivals fell during  their  attempts.
This is the second Olympic medal for Hirano; he won silver in Sochi. He is also the reigning X Games champion in the halfpipe  having won that title last month  in a competition that  White  skipped.
 White  led a group of four American snowboarders who qualified for the finals of the men's halfpipe at Phoenix Snow Park in Pyeongchang; joining  him  were Ben Ferguson  Chase Josey  and Jake Pates.
 Ferguson  cleaned up  his  second run after a fall in the first. And after a strong final run earned  him  a 90.75   he  finished 4th; Josey was 6th and Pates was 8th.

SOLUTION: Shaun White

PROBLEM: TOKYO (Reuters) -  Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abeâs ruling bloc  scored a big win in Sundayâs election  bolstering  his  chance of becoming the nationâs longest-serving premier and re-energizing  his  push to revise the pacifist constitution.
âAnd as we saw in the U.K. ... a referendum could be tricky. So while  Abe  is likely to be prime minister for the time being  it is too early to say whether  he  can stay in power until 2021.â  Abe  declined to say if  he  would run for a third term.
 Abe  had said  he  needed a new mandate to tackle a "national crisis" from North Korea's missile and nuclear threats and a fast-aging population  and to approve  his  idea of diverting revenue from a planned sales tax hike to education and child care from public debt repayment [reut.rs/2yC0pma].
 He  called the poll amid confusion in the opposition camp and an uptick in  his  ratings  dented earlier in the year by scandals over suspected cronyism and a perception  he  had grown arrogant after nearly five years in office.

SOLUTION: Shinzo Abe

PROBLEM: Wednesday’s oral argument in the Supreme Court over affirmative action at the University of Texas had barely concluded before the Internet lit up with “shock horror” reactions to something Justice Antonin Scalia said.
Mother Jones reported  Scalia ’s comments under this headline: “Justice Scalia Suggests Blacks Belong at ‘Slower’ Colleges. Yes   he  really said that.”
No   he  didn’t  if that headline implies that Scalia believes all black students belong at “slower” colleges.
 He  was addressing Gregory Garre  a lawyer for the University of Texas  who was defending the university’s policy of counting race as one factor in a “holistic” review of applicants (which also includes factors such as extracurricular activities  socioeconomic background and “hardships overcome”).
It’s silly for advocates of affirmative action to dissemble about this. And it’s equally silly to suggest that  Scalia  was being racist when  he  clumsily invoked the mismatch theory.

SOLUTION:
Antonin Scalia
