Ask Amy: Since I heard what my son’s girlfriend said, I don’t even want to be around her

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:10 GMT

Dear Amy: My 26-year-old son has been dating a girl for more than two years. We all get along really well.My husband and I recently moved two hours away and have stayed at their apartment approximately five times over the past eight months.We stay only one night and usually take them out to dinner or have other fun activities with them while visiting.One time, we were there to see other friends, but staying with them was still handy because they keep an eye on our dogs.My son doesn’t mind at all, as he has told us.I recently found out his girlfriend does mind and has told him that we abuse their hospitality and that she doesn’t feel comfortable in her own home when we’re there (although she has no problem accepting free meals/drinks from us).My son recently tried to break up with her (before this situation arose), but she talked him out of it.I’m so distraught and hurt. I no longer feel comfortable staying there. Nor do I feel comfortable having her stay at our hom...

Ball-playing keepers and hybrid defender-midfielders the latest trends in the Premier League

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:10 GMT

Goalkeepers are getting so good with the ball at their feet that they could almost be outfield players.Take Ederson Moraes at Manchester City, for example: He can ping a pass 60 meters right onto the head of Erling Haaland or into the stride of Jack Grealish. Pep Guardiola has even said Ederson is the best penalty-taker at City.The Premier League will be full of ball-playing goalkeepers this season, with the arrival of Andre Onana at Manchester United and Guglielmo Vicario at Tottenham adding to the list of keepers who are now expected to be the starter of attacks as much as the last line of defense.Expect more length-of-the-field team goals but maybe more defensive mistakes, too, with the majority of teams likely to be playing the ball out from the back in an effort to keep possession, beat the press and make full use of the pitch to attack in space.Onana has emerged as a master of that — and it’s why United has spent 51 million euros ($57 million) on a keeper who could be a ...

After Boehly and Clearlake’s chaotic first year at Chelsea, it’s time to see what they’ve learned

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:10 GMT

It’s time to find out what lessons Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have learned after their crash course in Premier League soccer.Chelsea certainly came crashing down to earth in the co-owners’ first year in charge of the two-time Champions League-winning club. It felt like Boehly and Clearlake were in a hurry to get ahead of the curve in their first season at Stamford Bridge. Now they are playing catch-up after a chaotic campaign saw them spend record amounts on new signings, hire and fire managers and oversee Chelsea’s worst ever season in the Premier League. In response, Mauricio Pochettino was hired as Chelsea’s fourth manager in less than a year, while even more signings have been made to add to the $630 million Boehly and Clearlake had already spent on players since buying the club for $2.5 billion last year. A slew of big names have headed for the exit as well, with N’Golo Kante and Mason Mount most notable among them. Go big or go home has fel...

ANÁLISIS | Por qué una ofensiva ucraniana estancada podría representar un gran problema político para Zelensky en EE.UU.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:10 GMT

(CNN) — Una de las mayores tragedias de Ucrania en su ofensiva crítica que, hasta ahora, no ha logrado cumplir con sus propias expectativas y las de Occidente es que no puede, por sí misma, decidir su destino.El gobierno del presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, depende de una gran cantidad de armamentos estadounidenses y occidentales. Y el presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, cuyas obsesiones históricas y cálculos de poder personal empujaron a Ucrania a esta horrible guerra, también tendrá mucho que decir si la guerra termina y cuándo. Por lo tanto, si bien los sacrificios en el campo de batalla decidirán cuánto territorio incautado recupera Ucrania, el resultado de la guerra también estará determinado por factores externos, incluidas las fuerzas políticas cambiantes en EE.UU., Moscú y las capitales europeas.Una ofensiva estancada y un estancamiento invernal, por ejemplo, tendrían ramificaciones particulares en Estados Unidos, ya que podría aumentar las dudas sobre el ap...

As Commanders eye RFK Stadium, DC Council battles over bringing them home

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:10 GMT

The Washington Commanders are the closest they’ve ever been to returning to the old RFK Stadium site in D.C. — the NFL team’s home base from the days when it won three Super Bowls and captured the city’s attention each Sunday.“The energy is palpable, it doesn’t matter where you go,” At-Large D.C. Council member Kenyan McDuffie said on the DMV Download podcast. “The Commanders belong in the District of Columbia.”Three weeks ago, the Harris Group — led by D.C. native and billionaire Josh Harris — bought the Commanders from the loathed and liability-laden Dan Snyder. Two weeks ago, Congress introduced bipartisan legislation that would give D.C. the power to redevelop the RFK site.And last week, the city took the first step by launching a “DC Sports study” that will work to select a contractor “to identify and recommend deal structures for financing DC sports facilities” at si...

Daily sugar-sweetened drinks linked to liver problems in older women, report finds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:24:10 GMT

(CNN) — More than 6 in 10 adults in the United States drink sugar-sweetened beverages on a daily basis. For older women, that might mean a higher risk of liver cancer and death from chronic liver disease, a new study finds.The report, published on Tuesday in the medical journal JAMA, tracked the beverage choices of nearly 100,000 women between the ages of 50 and 79 across the United States and looked at their health outcomes over two decades. Compared with women who consumed fewer sugar-sweetened beverages less frequently, those who drank sugary beverages every day faced higher rates of liver cancer and death from chronic liver disease.Throughout the study, participants reported how often they consumed sweetened soft drinks and fruit drinks on a scale from “never or less than once per month” to “6 or more per day.” Researchers also looked at the number of those women who were diagnosed with liver cancer or died from chronic liver disease across a study period of, on average, nearly ...
