Well, vintage EK65 has been in full form this season. The Sharks defenseman is one of just a handful of players to hit 10 goals on the season, leading all defensemen by a wide margin in that category. Karlsson could shatter his career-best output of 21 tallies he potted in 2014-2015 with the Senators, if he continues on this torrid pace. Karlsson scored his first-ever hat trick this year, slotting three goals in the Sharks’ Nov....

But if you put any stock in them at all, the results are in — people hate the living hell out of FanDuel and DraftKings ads. MORE: Craziest fantasy football performances ever | Week 5 rankings | Best waiver pickups News broke Tuesday afternoon, courtesy of Bob Ley, that ESPN was removing DraftKings-sponsored segments from its programming over the recent “insider trading” scheme involving the DFS monoliths.

Eat a Healthy Diet Sure, you know that a healthy diet is important for PCOS but what exactly does this entail? Women with PCOS have higher levels of inflammation which may be the part driving the hormone imbalance (higher testosterone, luteinizing hormone and insulin levels) in the first place. A diet that targets inflammation works well for women with PCOS. An anti-inflammatory diet includes lots of fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of high-fiber unprocessed low glycemic index grains (oats, quinoa), and foods rich in omega-3 fats such as fish (salmon, tuna, trout), nuts, seeds, and avocados....

Higher levels of the hormone estrogen have previously been linked to women and rodents drinking more, said the authors of the research published in the journal JNeurosci. Estrogen is thought to change activity in the dopamine system, a collection of cells in the brain that play a part in how we process rewards.

Ever since World War II, Americans have correctly favored greater European unity. The Common Market spurred economic recovery and helped subdue the hatreds of two world wars. But the latest exercise in unity-embodied in the 1991 Maastricht Treaty-no longer deserves our admiration or support. It aims to create a single European currency by 1999 and to remake the European Community (EC) into something of a superstate. These foolish ambitions are bad for Europe, bad for the United States and bad for the world....

Politicians and executives across Spain, MidCat’s main would-be beneficiaries, are understandably incensed....
