* Don't let the time difference between here and Japan keep you from staying current on the Games. For Times columnist Mike Downey's audio updates on events in Nagano, as well as the latest news, features, scores, and medal counts, point your browser to the Los Angeles Times Web site's section on the Winter Olympics. The Web site offers a daily photo gallery of Olympics action, audio and video highlights, and a message board to let you sound off about what's happening at the Games.
