The Nerazzurri thumped Chievo 5-0 to move top of Serie A on Sunday and underline their credentials as potential Scudetto winners before this weekend’s huge showdown with champions Juventus. Spalletti has won praise for his efforts at San Siro since taking charge in June and has even been compared with Mourinho, who steered Inter to an historic treble in 2009-10 before leaving for Real Madrid. The former Roma boss dismissed such talk as “ridiculous” last month and Lucio, who played a key role in Inter’s triumphs seven years ago, also believes it is too early to discuss Spalletti alongside his old boss....

One choice is to buy protection with one of the proliferating “step up” or “bump up” CDs. The former schedule rate hikes at regular intervals; the latter allow savers to bump up their rates once or twice during the certificate’s term. Think three times before you sign up for either type. In return for the chance to get a higher rate during the CD’s life, you’ll likely be earning a lower-than-average return right now, says Robert Heady, publisher of the Bank Rate Monitor in North Palm Beach, Fla....

How City’s fans are winding up Pep “They have come back in better shape than when they left....

These injuries took the gloss off of another win that keeps Madrid hot on Barcelona’s heels at the top of La Liga and Cristiano Ronaldo’s 50th goal of a stellar campaign. Madrid have been rocked by player absences throughout the season, losing the lead in La Liga as a consequence. Sergio Ramos, Pepe, James Rodriguez, Jese and Modric all spent time out that contributed to Madrid losing their rhythm just after the winter break....

From fan zones in the K and L blocks at the Eden to organising a photo exhibition commemorating India’s 500 Tests, CAB is leaving no stone unturned to bring people to the ground. Players of both teams as well as former Bengal captains will be given specially-minted silver coins as India will play their 250th five-day match on home soil. But all such efforts have so far failed to attract spectators, with the ticket counters wearing a desolate look....

It won’t be until the science catches up with the disease that we will truly understand its roots. In the meantime, we can look at contributors believed to factor into lupus as scientists understand them now. Common Risk Factors Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which your immune system malfunctions, prompting your body to attack its own tissues. These factors are considered common potential culprits: Hormones Research suggests that hormonal factors are linked to autoimmune disease, though research is still in its infancy and the link between the two is still nebulous....

The 21-year-old will undergo a medical before finalising a move reportedly worth around €30million. Arsenal, Reine-Adelaide’s former club, have the opportunity to hijack the deal by submitting an equivalent bid. The Gunners inserted the clause as part of the France Under-21 international’s departure in 2018 but are not expected to match Lyon’s offer. Reine-Adelaide made 35 top-flight appearances last season, scoring three times, and could make his Les Gones debut against Angers on Friday....

After all, this is a man who knocked Rashad Evans out at UFC 98 to capture the light heavyweight championship back in May 2009. A man whose history with the company was well-documented. So, no need to leave, right?...

“I’ve never seen a happier group in the dressing room than they were tonight,” Brown said following UNC’s 24-20 victory over South Carolina. “The ‘05 (Texas) national championship team wasn’t any happier than this team tonight.” MORE: Why blue-chip talent will follow Mack Brown back to UNC Brown was brought back to North Carolina after spending 16 seasons away as coach of Texas and five years as a studio analyst for ESPN to have an immediate impact on a Tar Heels program with just two wins over Power 5 programs in the last two years....

The Republican-majority Senate narrowly voted to override the veto, but the House failed to gain the two votes it needed to reach the two-thirds majority required to bypass the governor. Democrats were unswayed by Republican arguments, leaving them short of the supermajority vote that would have made it the first time in three decades that Louisiana has usurped a gubernatorial veto. “The last thing you want to do is to lose those major events in exchange for a bill that doesn’t change anything on the ground in Louisiana....

WDRB and the Courier-Journal reported the problem is related to Willard’s heart.

She relieved Stanley of his prolonged virginity, and he married her in 1925....

First the good news. “I’m With Her” is a romantic comedy–when is the last time you saw one of those on TV?–about a high-school English teacher (David Sutcliffe) who begins dating a movie star (Teri Polo). Bookish Patrick Owen meets glamorous Alex Young in typical sitcom fashion: her dog bites his butt at a coffee shop. But one of the charms of “I’m With Her” is that once you get past the “Notting Hill” setup, the show is more interested in character and story than it is in cracking jokes....

Nico Schulz’s 90th-minute goal saw Low’s men to victory in the Group C clash in Amsterdam on Sunday. After a difficult 2018 that led to questions over his position as coach, Low said he had moved on from the tough year.

Low blood pressure occurs when blood pressure is much lower than normal. This means the heart, brain, and other parts of the body do not get enough blood. If your blood pressure is 90/60 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) or lower, you have low blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure, which is the top number, indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when your heart beats....
