    BOSTON (AP) — More than a decade before he became the country’s first president, George Washington was leading a critical campaign in the early days of the American Revolution. The Siege of Boston was his first campaign as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and, in many ways, set the stage for his military and political successes — celebrated on Presidents Day.

    Winter Olympics: Ellie Kam, Danny O’Shea chase historic pairs medal
    MILAN — When American pairs skater Danny O’Shea was 10 years old, he sat down and made a list of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games.
    In 2010, he would be 18. That would be his Olympics, he decided.
    As easy as that, right?
    O’Shea has survived two retirements, five partner changes, two coaching changes, a broken foot, multiple surgeries, an eating disorder and a generation gap, before at 35 he made his Olympic debut at the Milano Cortina Games with Ellie Kam.

    INGLEWOOD — Kawhi Leonard let the slightest smirk evade the corner of his mouth as he stoically swayed during the player introductions before Sunday’s new-look NBA All-Star Game.
    No nod, no wave for his Intuit Dome crowd. Leonard’s silence, a cornerstone of the seven-time All-Star’s personality, is part of what makes the 34-year-old Moreno Valley product a compelling figure in the NBA. But across All-Star Weekend, Leonard made nothing but noise on his name alone.
