Spain may be three days away from its second general election in six months and in the middle of scandal involving the acting home secretary, but its papers are still drenched in Brexit sweats. |
In a leader entitled Better in than out. Please, El País makes a passionate plea for unity, reminding the UK that Thursday’s vote will affect every European citizen. |
ABC recognises that the “colossal framework” of the EU needs to be overhauled to make it more effective, less bureaucratic, “and, above all, closer to those it is intended to benefit”. But the paper says that Eurosceptics of whatever nation should not be allowed to undermine the notion of one great community. |
The referendum dominated front pages in Norway, which while not an EU member is part of the single market. “Today Britain can split Europe,” read the headline of Aftenposten. The cartoon on the newspaper’s front page showed Boris Johnson in a pose reminiscent of Arthurian legend, trying to pull a sword out of a stone d... |
“Fears that emotions will take Britain out of the EU,” read the front page headline of Dagens Næringsliv. |
Only Belgium’s narrow win over Sweden in Euro 2016 last night is competing with Brexit on the front pages of several main Belgian newspapers. |
“Stay with us,” said the headline, in English, of an editorial on the front page of the francophone daily Le Soir, which has devoted its first eight pages to a referendum supplement, reporting on the “inescapable” Boris Johnson, a “divided country” and how the EU might respond. |
“For those who are convinced of the necessity of pursuing European integration – a position which is always strong in Belgium – the prospect of seeing the exit of the eternal outsider and troublemaker has a certain attraction,” writes Le Soir’s editorialist. But in ringing terms, the paper concludes that without the “d... |
The referendum question makes less of a splash in the main Dutch-speaking papers, despite warnings about the hit to the Flemish economy. “After Ireland, Flanders would be hardest hit by a Brexit,” the region’s minister-president, Geert Bourgeois, has said, warning that its economy could be 2.5% smaller by 2030. |
WASHINGTON -- While Washington Capitals fans waited and wondered, the coach already knew what was going to happen. |
Center Evgeny Kuznetsov officially was day to day with an upper-body injury sustained in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights and was considered not medically cleared. |
Unofficially? Capitals coach Barry Trotz knew Kuznetsov would play. |
As Trotz said after Game 3 on Saturday, "I felt very confident when I was on the plane coming back [from Las Vegas] that he was going to be playing." |
It was crucial that he did. |
Kuznetsov scored the game-winning goal in the Capitals' 3-1 win against the Golden Knights at Capital One Arena, getting a secondary assist on Alex Ovechkin's goal and playing an important role in helping Washington take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. Game 4 is here Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS). |
The center, though, would only admit that he knew he was going to play as of Saturday morning. |
"I woke up, felt a little better again," he said. "I felt like I can help the team, and it ended up working pretty well for us." |
That might be a bit of an understatement. |
Or, as Kuznetsov later said of playing through the injury, "It's emotional stuff. Like Michael Jordan, when he played his best game. He got hurt, got 53 points." |
It was not immediately clear which game he was referring to. It could have been when Jordan scored 63 points for the Chicago Bulls in Game 2 of the first round of the 1986 NBA playoffs against the Boston Celtics after returning from a broken left foot and being expected to miss the rest of the season. Or the "Flu Game,... |
"When you're hurt, you play a little better always," Kuznetsov said. "You have extra energy. Sometimes it's even better for you when you watch the hockey from upstairs a little bit and you see a few things a little bit. It's just so emotional." |
Kuznetsov left Game 2 at Vegas on Wednesday with 5:18 remaining in the first period after a hit by Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb. It was not entirely clear until he came out for warmups before Game 3 that he was going to play. |
And right at the beginning, he was making an impact. Kuznetsov took the puck down the ice on a 2-on-1 with Ovechkin, with McNabb between them and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, and slid a pass across the slot to Ovechkin, but Fleury made the save 1:08 into the game. |
He didn't later, at 12:50 of the second period, after T.J. Oshie started a play in the defensive zone, knocking the puck over to forward Jay Beagle, who tapped it to Kuznetsov coming down the right side. Just as Kuznetsov sailed through the face-off dot, he flicked the puck at Fleury, scoring his 12th goal of the Stanl... |
"I think the shot, it's not my strong side," Kuznetsov said. "But that situation, we got a 2-on-1, I looked for [Beagle] and when you have a chance to feed those guys who play on the PK a lot, who block a lot of shots, you want to make that pass for him. But he wasn't open that time and I have to shoot." |
It worked out. Besides, as Beagle said, "[The assist isn't] as good as a goal, but I want it out of my hands when it's me and him, that's for sure." |
Because he knows, and they know, exactly what Kuznetsov can do when he has the puck because they've been watching it throughout the postseason. They've been watching his continued emergence into becoming, as defenseman John Carlson put it, one of the most dynamic players in the NHL. |
With the goal and the assist Saturday, Kuznetsov continues to lead the Stanley Cup Playoffs with 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists), two more than Ovechkin, including two points that helped the Capitals to their first home Cup Final win in their history. |
"Obviously a huge boost," Beagle said of Kuznetsov returning. "It's big. He's a key part of our team. He's huge for us. When he goes down you obviously don't want that. We know the kind of player he is and what to expect, and tonight he played unreal." |
Kind of Jordan-like, you might say. |
A winter storm that blanketed the Midwest with snow and left seven dead hit Washington and its surrounding areas Sunday — with more than 35 million people under winter weather alerts. |
Baltimore is also in the path of these heavier bands of snowfall, with 4 to 6 inches of snow predicted for Sunday. Philadelphia is predicted to get 1 to 2 inches of snow, and there is a possibility of light accumulation in New York along the storm's northern edge. |
The Missouri Department of Transportation warned residents not to travel in the storm if it wasn't necessary. The department reported incidents and stalls on interstates overnight. But it cited progress Saturday as crews worked to clear routes and bring "water and food to stranded motorists." |
TELLY fans can bag a massive 4K TV bargain right now at John Lewis – with loads of top models discounted. |
Powerhouse brands like Sony, Samsung and Panasonic are part of the sale, with savings of up to £800 on offer. |
Some of these deals even include a free Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone with them, which is seriously impressive. |
John Lewis also includes a free five-year guarantee with your TV purchase. |
Samsung revealed an 8K TV earlier this year. |
And rival Sony fired back with an enormous 98-inch 8K TV of its own. |
But LG's incredible 65-inch "rollable" TV will probably turn more heads than anything else. |
Trotwood-Madison was pushed to its limit for the first time in the postseason against Columbus South. And the Rams answered by doing what comes best. |
The victory sends Trotwood (24-3) into a regional final at 3 p.m. Saturday against Cincinnati Hughes (24-3). Hughes advanced by defeating Cincinnati Metro Conference rival Woodward 68-46 in the second game of Thursday’s semifinal doubleheader. |
Trotwood will take a 17-game win streak against Hughes. The Rams haven’t lost since falling to Georgia public-school power McEachem in Flyin’ to the Hoop way back on Jan. 13. The regional champion joins the D-II state final four at Columbus next week. |
South (22-5), coming out of the Columbus City League and Central District, seemed destined to pull a massive upset. The Bulldogs were beating the Rams in all facets and had a 14-0 run in the second quarter to prove it. |
South raced to a double-digit lead as halftime neared. The pro-Trotwood crowd repeatedly beckoned the Rams to switch gears and they finally did in the second half. |
As usual, Davis and senior Myles Belyeu were key in reigniting the Rams’ tourney mojo. Davis went for a game-high 30 points and Davis added 20. Both made drives to the basket their staples. That’s why both were first team All-Southwest District. |
“When you’ve got a kid like Amari Davis on the floor good things are going to happen,” said coach Rocky Rockhold, who rejoined the Rams after serving a two-game suspension for getting two technicals in a sectional win. |
Justin Stephens continues to be an inside factor for Trotwood and added nine points. Malachi Matthews was good for eight more. |
South wilted under Trotwood’s 45-24 second-half surge. Jeremiah Green led the Bulldogs with 13 points. |
Cin. Hughes 68, Cin. Woodward 46: Giovanni Santiago scored 15 first-quarter points, including three 3-pointers, and led Hughes with 25 points. Dwayne Rosado added 21 points. |
Demontez Cooper led Woodward (17-10) with 18 points. Terry Durham, who wrecked Dunbar in a district final, had 14 points and misfired on 10 of 16 free throws. |
Trotwood and Hughes didn’t play in the regular season but were matched in a preseason scrimmage. |
• Two regional titles will be decided on Friday. Wayne (25-1) plays Moeller (24-3) in a D-I final at Xavier University’s Cintas Center at 7:30 p.m. At Trent, it’s Marion Local (22-4) against Fort Loramie (25-2) in D-IV. Those winners also advance to state final fours. |
Fox will give “Bones” a proper send off with a 12th and final season, TheWrap has learned. |
Series stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel are set to return for the swan song of the long-running procedural. The show will return on April 14. When it ends its run, it will have completed 246 episodes. |
“I am thrilled the show will have the ending it deserves for all of our amazing, loyal fans!” added Deschanel. |
Picking up after the fall finale, the all-new episode, “The Death in the Defense,” finds Hodgins (TJ Thyne) eight weeks into his rehabilitation and forced to navigate life in a wheelchair. Meanwhile, Brennan and Booth investigate the death of a public defender who had multiple defendants from previous cases with motive... |
“Bones” is from Far Field Productions and Josephson Entertainment in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Hart Hanson. |
Hanson, Barry Josephson, Stephen Nathan, Randy Zisk, Jonathan Collier and Michael Peterson are executive producers. |
There have been serious questions about whether the show would get another season due to an ongoing legal case brought by the stars and producers against the network. |
Deschanel and Boreanaz joined “Bones” executive producer Barry Josephson in suing Fox for unpaid profits. The actors filed a complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court alongside author and executive producer Kathy Reichs, claiming that 20th Century Fox cheated them out of “tens of millions of dollars” in profits by wi... |
Reichs was allegedly promised five percent of the profits for her rights as well as producing services, while Deschanel and Boreanaz were allegedly due three percent each. |
Josephson, who also serves as executive producer, filed his own lawsuit against Fox Broadcasting Company and 20th Century Fox, claiming that he was cheated out of profits as the network reaped “hundreds of millions of dollars” from the show. Fox has denied the allegations. |
This article about how claims on food packaging can be deceptive misstated the amount of sugar in a three-quarter-cup serving of Kellogg's Froot Loops. A serving of that size contains nine grams of sugar, not 26 grams. |
The plastic soup can looks as if it's a single-size meal, a healthful lunch option for one hurried customer. But the nutrition label on the back says otherwise. Gummy fruit snacks show a shower of strawberries on the label, which reads "naturally fruit flavored." Customers would be hard-pressed to find any strawberries... |
Because of rising obesity rates and a push for more healthy living, many new products in the supermarket claim to be low-fat, immunity-boosting, vitamin-added foods. Some brands have become more healthful. But many manufacturers are promoting a product's healthful ingredients while playing down its less nutritional qua... |
"There are deceptive claims all over the place: low-fat, high-fiber, light. Definitions are used arbitrarily," Silverglade said, adding that the unclear labeling is "dangerous for public health." |
Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said last year that the creation of a uniform front-of-package symbol would be one of the agency's priorities in the coming years. "Some nutritionists have questioned whether this information is more marketing-oriented than health-oriented," Hamburg sa... |
In March, the FDA sent warning letters to 17 food manufacturers, including Dreyer's, Nestle and Pom, insisting that they change wording on their labels. And recently Michelle Obama and the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity recommended that labeling on food packages be more clearly defined. |
Those label changes could take years to go into effect. Until then, be wary of the words and phrases you're reading in the grocery aisles. Here's a cheat sheet to the marketing mayhem. |
A company can use the term "natural" to mean just about anything. Consumers often assume it implies "organic," but that's not the case. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has strict guidelines for a company to meet before it can label a food organic. Example: Silk Soymilk introduced non-organic soybeans to its product ... |
If it does not say 100 percent whole wheat or 100 percent whole grain, then be wary: The food may contain only a trivial amount of whole grain. Example: Thomas' Hearty Grains English Muffins lists "unbleached enriched wheat flour" as its primary ingredient. That is just a fancy phrase for ordinary white flour. |
To use the word "healthy," companies must meet certain FDA regulations per serving size. Some companies increase the number of serving sizes per product, rather than change the ingredients. If a person eats the entire jar or drinks the whole bottle, it would not meet the regulations. Mike Bishop, the executive director... |
Example: Healthy Choice Minestrone Soup appears to be a single serving of soup, but the nutrition panel says it contains about two servings. If a person consumes it in one sitting, it would not meet the FDA requirements on healthy sodium content. |
These are loose terms that insinuate the food helps protect against a popular health concern. The latest trend is a lack of Vitamin D, because of concerns that a deficiency in Vitamin D may play a role in autism. If a food says it is an "excellent source of Vitamin D," it may only mean: As a part of a normal diet, in w... |
Many foods contain "isolated fibers" to boost the fiber content. But it is unlikely these isolated fibers, usually inulin, polydextrose and maltodextrin, provide the same health benefits as "intact fibers," such as whole beans or oats. Example: Fiber One Oats & Chocolate bars say they provide 35 percent of daily fiber,... |
In 2003 the FDA announced that trans fat was a contributing factor to coronary heart disease. If a product says it contains few or zero grams of trans fat, look at the nutrition label. Often it will be loaded with saturated fat, which can be just as unhealthful as trans fat. Example: Edy's Dibs Nestle Crunch bite-size ... |
Some snacks picture fresh fruit on the front label and state they are "naturally fruit flavored!" But often the real fruit contained in the package comes from a small amount of pear juice concentrate, a highly sugared form of fruit. Example: Betty Crocker Strawberry Splash Fruit Gushers are made primarily from pear jui... |
Sometimes foods are fortified with nutrients, such as orange juice with calcium. But fortifying a junk food does not offset the food's negative qualities. Example: Froot Loops says it "now provides fiber." But the 26 grams of sugar in each 3/4 -cup serving of the cereal could have far more negative effects than any ben... |

(The Root) — Once praised only for their athleticism and running ability, black NFL quarterbacks today are bucking a system that has stereotyped them since the beginning of the National Football League. The new crop of black NFL quarterbacks are eager to show everyone that they can torch opponents with their feet but j... |
Back in 2009, when Freeman was drafted 17th overall by the Bucs, very few NFL fans had ever heard of the guy. Now, after a few up-and-down seasons and a couple of coaching changes, Freeman looks to add his name to the list of elite quarterbacks in the NFL. |
RG3's rookie year was filled with spectacular plays and sighs of relief from a fan base clamoring for something positive.

Funny thing about the NFL: Things can change in a blink of an eye. Just ask Kaepernick, who was catapulted into the 49er starting job last season after Alex Smith was sidelined with a concussion. Now described as the new golden boy of the Bay, Kaepernick has been given the keys to one of the most storied franchises in ... |
The only quarterback taken in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft wasn't supposed to make an immediate impact for the Bills. However, after an impressive training camp and preseason, Manuel separated himself as the future of the Buffalo Bills. A knee injury has slowed him down for the time being, but the Bills have m... |
Newton's rookie year was overshadowed by another quarterback who hardly outplayed him: Tim Tebow. Very few even remember that Newton was the only rookie to ever pass for 4,000 yards in a single season. In year 2, Newton struggled to become a leader in Carolina, and the Panthers continued to stay at the bottom of the st... |
The late and legendary owner Al Davis made one last pick before he passed. That pick was Pryor in the 2011 supplemental draft. After a controversial career at Ohio State, Pryor was rumored to be damaged goods. Yet since he outplayed Matt Flynn this preseason, it seems the Raiders are ready to throw him the starting job... |
When the Jets drafted Smith in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft, many believed that Mark Sanchez's time was up and a new Jets savior had been anointed. Even Jay Z signed Smith to his sports agency! Both Sanchez and Smith showed an inconsistency so polarizing in the preseason that their coach, Rex Ryan, is believe... |
