Rebels: Hoping this Art will yield a masterpiece

We were kind of the black sheep last year," says converted defensive tackle Andrew Wicker, now a senior and penciled in as the starter at left guard. "A lot of fingers got pointed at us, and we kind of got pushed into a corner."


Talent at running back shouldn't be a problem this year.


McSwain is back, and while head coach Ed Orgeron has talked about using him at wide receiver, he's worked only at tailback in the first three days.


He is no longer the starter, however. That job has gone to Indiana transfer BenJarvus Green-Ellis, a tough between-the-tackles runner.


McSwain offers a nice complement as the guy who can turn the corner and run away from a defense.


Freshman Cordera Eason and junior college transfer Bruce Hall make the position a deep one.

Britain: The Black Sheep of the European Union

The political deadlock that the European Union is currently facing makes it all the more depressing for pro Europeans in the UK.

ROUNDUP Barclays beats H1 profit forecasts as BarCap earnings soar

LONDON (AFX) - UK bank Barclays PLC reported a better than expected 37 pct increase in first-half profit, with a strong performance from investment banking unit Barclays Capital outweighing a bad-debt-induced downturn at credit card division Barclaycard. Barclays, the UK's third-biggest bank by market value, said pretax profit for the six months to June 30 came in at 3.673 bln stg, up from 2.690 bln stg in the same period last year, and ahead of the 3.400 bln stg consensus analyst forecast. The improvement was driven by strong growth at Barclays Capital, where profit jumped 66 pct to 1.246 bln stg. The group also reported an improvement at the previously underperforming UK retail bank, currently in the throes of a restructuring exercise, with profits up 12 pct at 612 mln stg. That outweighed a weaker result at Barclaycard, where profit fell 14 pct to 297 mln stg as bad debt charges soared 37 pct to 696 mln stg.
