The Bruins and Penguins combined for eight goals in the first 20 minutes of action, marking the first time two teams had scored that much in the opening frame since the Coyotes and Predators traded nine tallies in 2013. Boston and Pittsburgh could have matched that mark, but Penguins forward Carter Rowney had a goal disallowed because he used a direct kicking motion. Pittsburgh initiated the frenetic pace to Thursday’s first period, as defenseman Olli Maatta got the Penguins on the board just 35 seconds into the contest....

The Nationals outfielder, booed consistently by Braves fans during Saturday night’s game, appeared to try to send a message back by scraping his cleat over the Atlanta “A’’ carved into the dirt behind the batter’s box, as if trying to scuff it. Fans responded with more boos. Take a look (Vine via Atlanta Sports Guy): The Braves themselves responded via Twitter: But Harper denied he did anything to the “A” intentionally....

It’s looking a lot like the latter as Bruce Arians brings back all 22 Super Bowl starters from last season, including such players as quarterback Tom Brady (obviously), defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, linebacker Lavonte David, receiver Chris Godwin and more. That said, there are plenty of veteran talents on Tampa Bay’s roster, and positional groups that could benefit from increased depth. After all, time and injuries eventually catch up to everybody, even Brady....

Six of Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl starters were set to hit the free-agent market during the 2021 offseason, and it didn’t look like the team would be able to retain them all. Chris Godwin, Shaquil Barrett, Lavonte David and Ndamukong Suh were available among other key depth players, and the Bucs would have to get creative with the salary cap to make deals happen. That’s exactly what Jason Licht did....

While Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson have disappointed as QB1s of late, there also are concerns about their supporting casts. For the Buccaneers, wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) and tight end Cameron Brate (neck) have been ruled out, while wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) is “questionable.” For the Ravens, tight end Mark Andrews (knee), running back Gus Edwards (knee) and wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) are all “questionable,” but there’s a fair chance all will play....

Although not many would have had the Warriors as championship contenders prior to the season tipping off, they certainly have them among the leaders now, but Golden State has been playing short-handed despite getting Klay Thompson back, they are missing defensive stalwart Draymond Green. MORE: Does Klay Thompson’s return make Warriors consensus title favorite? Milwaukee has also faced adversity this season after claiming their first championship in 50 years.

NEWSWEEK: Congratulations. You don’t have a signature style; each project is unique. Tell me about your philosophy of design. NOUVEL: When I began to study architecture in the ’60s, I was shocked because I saw a lot of buildings that were similar all around the world, in the international style [modernism]. They were not linked to the different cities or to different geo graphic climates. So very early I had a strong idea about the relationship be tween architecture and the situation of the architecture....

It is not the same as eating a larger meal than usual during occasions like holidays.

That’s a big boost in Indonesia these days. By flushing money out of corrupt pockets and pouring it into the working economy, the June 7 ballot is giving the nation a surprising lift out of its post-Suharto funk. The new president, B. J. Habibie, is spending $1.3 billion on the hardware and staff for a real election. Instead of a bogus contest with two official opposition parties and a preordained winner–the ruling Golkar party–there are now 48 parties spending all they can raise on a genuine race....

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says Brewer entered pleas through an attorney Wednesday to misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of at least 0.08. In fact, prosecutors allege that his blood-alcohol was 0.15 percent or more — nearly twice the legal limit. Brewer was stopped in February near Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. He was charged last month....

Beyond his 39-84 record while at the helm, he’s been criticized for his approach to practice, use of timeouts, injury management and lineup rotations. There had been speculation entering the summer that he would be replaced before next season, particularly because team president Arturas Karnisovas had recently been brought in to shake up the franchise’s culture. But because Bulls ownership has concerns about the cost of staff turnover amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Boylen might survive through the 2020-21 campaign, according to a report from the Chicago Sun-Times....

The 38-year-old police officer, who officiated matches in the 2. Bundesliga for 10 years before being appointed to the country’s premier competition, issued just one yellow card as the game passed without controversy. Dortmund 6/1 to win Bundesliga Steinhaus made an excellent decision to play advantage when Hertha’s Vladimir Darida was fouled, allowing Mathew Leckie to subsequently score the opening goal of the game. Danish midfielder Thomas Delaney equalised after 59 minutes to help Werder earn their first point of the season but the story of the day belonged to Steinhaus, who previously took charge of Bayern Munich’s 5-0 win over Chemnitzer FC in the DFB Pokal in August....

The centre-back headed in 15 minutes from time to cancel out a fine free-kick from Benjamin Moukandjo as both sides shared a point in their tournament opener at Stade d’Angondje. These two finished top of their respective qualifying groups and it was a suitably even contest in Libreville, with both goalkeepers kept busy behind some less-then-convincing defences. Alain Traore went close to an opener for Burkina Faso before Moukandjo’s superb strike put Cameroon in the ascendancy, and only two excellent saves from Kouakou Herve Koffi and a glaring miss from Clinton N’Jie kept Paulo Duarte’s side in the contest heading into the last half-hour....

Driving while under the influence remains a significant point of concern for transportation officials in the U.S., with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimating about 28 deaths occur every day in connection with drunk driving incidents.
