[h=2]Our Super Bowl hangover: Beyoncé. Then some Cam and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Peyton[/h]The game-changing player we're still talking about 24 hours after the Super Bowl?<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Beyoncé.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Beyoncé<span style="color: Red;">*</span>gifs. Beyoncé<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and Blue Ivy<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Instagrams.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Beyoncé<span style="color: Red;">*</span>shutting down a Coldplay collaboration<span style="color: Red;">*</span>once before. We're so glad she said "yes" to #SB50. While we're still blurry on some things (nice photo, Tim Cook), we may finally know why Cam Newton walked out of his post-game news conference: No one likes to hear someone talk behind their back. The next question awaiting an answer: When will<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Peyton Manning announce his retirement?<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Rarely has a farewell been scripted as well as this one.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>You don't come back after all that.
[h=2]Why you can't find a booth in any New Hampshire diner[/h]Game on.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>It's the last full<span style="color: Red;">*</span>day of campaigning for the presidential candidates in New Hampshire<span style="color: Red;">*</span>(cue barrage of Granite State jokes). Winning the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>nation's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>first primary Tuesday<span style="color: Red;">*</span>is super<span style="color: Red;">*</span>important for momentum. (No, we didn't forget Iowa, it was<span style="color: Red;">*</span>a caucus state. Speaking of Iowa, did you know one company actually tracked caucusgoers’ phones?)<span style="color: Red;">*</span>GOP: Donald Trump still leads all N.H. polls. Ted Cruz, who won Iowa, is in the mix with third-place finisher Marco Rubio and a trio of governors. Dems: With Vermont right next door, Bernie Sanders<span style="color: Red;">*</span>has home-court advantage, and the state is a must-win for the self-described democratic socialist. Hillary Clinton has<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"closer-in-chief" Bill campaigning for her. (New Hampshire<span style="color: Red;">*</span>actually saved his 1992 campaign.)<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Fun fact: Midnight voting in Dixville Notch and a few other locations has been a New Hampshire election tradition since at least 1948.
[h=2]Winter storms always have awesome timing[/h]It's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>like<span style="color: Red;">*</span>they know. Remember a minute ago when we were talking about the New Hampshire primary? Turns out there's a winter storm that could be a nuisance for voters Tuesday. For some perspective: The East Coast storm is so powerful it forced one of the world's largest cruise ships back to port Monday after four passengers were injured. Pics<span style="color: Red;">*</span>here. The National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings for eastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. A winter storm advisory covered New Hampshire, and forecasters predict the bulk of the snow should arrive early or midday Tuesday. In the Midwest, a separate storm brought strong winds and blizzard conditions causing whiteouts<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and snarling traffic. Somebody find that groundhog.
[h=2]President Obama steps up fight against Zika<span style="color: Red;">*</span>[/h]The good news about the Zika virus: It's not like Ebola;<span style="color: Red;">*</span>people aren't dying from it. The bad news about Zika: It's spreading explosively<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and is linked to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>a cluster of cases of<span style="color: Red;">*</span>microcephaly, a neurological disorder that afflicts the babies of pregnant women with the virus. The World Health Organization declared Zika an international public health emergency last week. On Monday, President Obama<span style="color: Red;">*</span>asked Congress<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for $1.8 billion in emergency funding to combat Zika through mosquito control programs, vaccine research, education and improved health care for low-income pregnant women.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The new request comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced its emergency operations center has been put on a “Level 1” status <span style="color: Red;">*</span>— its highest level of activation.
