Zanetti: We've spoken about Icardi too much

Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti said there has been too much talk about Mauro Icardi amid uncertainty over the star's future in Milan. Icardi has not played since he was stripped of the captaincy last month, with the disgruntled striker claiming to have been injured but Inter initially said tests could not uncover a specific issue. Linked with the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and Napoli amid a contract stand-off, Icardi returned to Inter training on Tuesday. Asked if Icardi could be in line to face Lazio in Serie A action on Sunday, Zanetti said: "I think we have talked about him too much. "Now we must focus on the field because it is fundamental for the season finale." Inter are third in Serie A, two points clear of fourth-placed AC Milan following their derby victory prior to the international break. Zanetti added: "We have the goal of qualifying for the Champions League, 10 games are left and on Sunday we meet a direct rival. The team is preparing...

City change shape after defeat, Ozil dropped for Arsenal

Both Manchester City and Arsenal have made significant changes to their starting line-ups for their meeting on Sunday, with Pep Guardiola seemingly altering his team's shape entirely. City were beaten 2-1 at Newcastle United on Tuesday and Guardiola has responded to a poor performance by apparently naming a back three against the Gunners. Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi and Aymeric Laporte look set to line up in defence, with John Stones dropping to the bench alongside Danilo, who struggled at St James' Park. Leroy Sane also makes way as Guardiola packs the midfield, bringing in Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan alongside Fernandinho, David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne. Arsenal similarly look to have moved away from the four-man defence named against Cardiff City in midweek, with Laurent Koscielny joining that quartet in the side. There is no room for Mesut Ozil, who has struggled to nail down a place in the team this season, as Alex Iwobi comes into the XI. The former Germany ...

Rashford drags Solskjaer's men back to winning ways

Marcus Rashford marked his 100th Premier League appearance with the only goal as Manchester United saw off Leicester City 1-0 on Sunday. The England striker finished clinically from Paul Pogba's pass to earn United an eighth win in nine league games under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Their winning run had been halted by Burnley on Tuesday, when the Red Devils fought back from 2-0 down to claim a dramatic 2-2 draw, but the three points rarely looked in much doubt after Rashford's 10th top-flight goal of the season. Rashford somehow headed over from barely two yards out within the first five minutes, but he soon made amends, controlling Pogba's lofted pass expertly and drilling beyond Kasper Schmeichel. United eased off after taking the lead and invited some Leicester pressure, although a wayward header from Jonny Evans and a dipping Pereira strike were the best openings they could muster before the break. David de Gea was given a tougher test on the hour mark...

I'm not sure it's still considered swearing! Ancelotti bemused by dismissalCarlo Ancelotti has confirmed he was sent off in Napoli's 0-0 draw with AC Milan for swearing, but insists he did not direct his curse at the referee. The 59-year-old was dismissed from the dugout in second-half injury time, shortly after Fabian Ruiz had received a harsh second yellow card for handball. Napoli posted a picture of Ruiz's leg on Twitter after the goalless draw at San Siro showing where the player had been struck by the ball on the leg, along with the caption: "This is the handball from Fabian Ruiz that caused the second yellow." Ancelotti admitted to swearing when reacting to the incident, but he remains somewhat bemused as to why it warranted him being sent from the sidelines. "I said a swear word, although it wasn't aimed at the referee," he told DAZN. "I'm not even sure it's still considered swearing!" Chances were scarce in the mat...

Man imbroglio that he has fat.

Napoli were held to a 0-0 draw by AC Milan at San Siro in a boost to Juventus' Serie A title defence. The Rossoneri had only beat Napoli once in 15 league games prior to Saturday's encounter but came close to improving that record, with goalkeeper David Ospina making some crucial saves. Carlo Ancelotti's side had won their previous two top-flight games since losing on this ground to Inter last month, but a relatively flat performance left them unable to worry Gianluigi Donnarumma's goal unduly and they lost Fabian Ruiz to a late red card. Patrick Cutrone hit the side-netting in a bright opening spell from Milan, although neither side looked prepared to sit back and play for a point in a combative first 45 minutes. Hakan Calhanoglu tested Ospina, while Piotr Zielinski and Jose Callejon each came close for Napoli without managing to hit the target. Franck Kessie saw a shot deflected narrowly over the crossbar and Callejon clipped the woodwork with a cross, before Zie...

EPA: Out of Control

Cleanup to Start in East Fork Ninemile; Watch for Traffic Here is an example of still another toxic waste dump being created in the epicenter of the Bunker Hill Superfund Site. Technically it may be a mile or so removed from the “BOX” or original 21 sq. miles. Nevertheless the message is one of a warning to residents who may be living in the area to watch out for heavy equipment as well as other risks to those who live in the area. Every indication is revealed that dangerous contamination is being dug up and transferred to another location close by. The part about “securing” the lead and heavy metals, which amount to God only knows how many years and dump truck loads is being place in a smaller, managed location to keep it from being moved downstream? Everything runs down stream whether it be isolated i.e. out of the radar of affected citizens visibility but not out of the danger of  fugitive windblown dust. Why was permanent waste disposal never discussed to the public?  In a...

Busted: Cholesterol Claims

Cholesterol Claims Confound Cholesterol-battling plant stanol-based Benecol has been busted in the UK for exaggerating TV advert claims even though they were based on UK National Health Service, British Heart Foundation (BHF) and World Health Organization (WHO) data. A veteran healthy foods consultant called the ruling   “stupid”   and advised Raiso-owned Benecol’s UK license holder, Johnson & Johnson, to sue the UK agency in question. The ads for Benecol drinking yoghurt claimed,   "two out of three adults have high cholesterol"   in the UK, but the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the claim manipulated BHF and other data and, “ therefore exaggerated the health benefit of the product.” ‘Stupid?’ Despite being approved by the broadcast approver, Clearcast, the ASA also ruled the ad had inappropriately used an EU-approved cholesterol reducing claim by stating Benecol was,   “proven  to lower cholesterol by up to 10% in just three weeks." “This...

UPDATE 4-14-14:  A "friend" of Adams posts this expose on another fraud in supplements Adams is selling. Can You Trust Your Supplements: http://jonbarron.org/dietary-supplements/can-you-trust-your-supplements As it stands now, based on some recently uncovered information, the "health ranger" is now a "News Journalist". Software creator to "editor" and also a so-called independent reviewer. You have to be the real judge of exactly what color chameleon it is today.  Might have been different yesterday, perhaps different tomorrow. As I've mentioned I have been copied from the inception of this wunderkind's creations.  He started lurking in 2003 and copying without attribution.  Could be flattery, maybe.  But what about his defamation, and I've never even talked with the fellow. I've always stood on the fact that I have worked in media with many well respected companies over the years, and I follow ethical practices. Here's one th...

Simply 4 Alzheimer's

More about vitamin E Make sure you are using fully natural vitamin E, no synthetics: "The hell with dl"  Despite the occasional negative publicity surrounding vitamin E, this nutrient has proven itself time and again to be one amazing antioxidant. Case in point: Research published earlier this year in the Journal of the American Medical Association has shown that vitamin E can help slow functional decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. 1 This development is particularly significant since no cure for Alzheimer’s exists—only treatments to slow the progression of the disease. Currently, two main classes of drugs are approved for Alzheimer’s treatment: cholinesterase inhibitors (such as Aricept®, Exelon® and Razadyne®) and memantine (Namenda®). These drugs may treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s—like memory loss and problems with reasoning—but they also have their fair share of troublesome side effects, including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, increased bowel mo...
