Dismissing Patrick as a lost cause might be tempting, but it wouldn’t be the right thing to do just yet. She can get better as a NASCAR driver (cue the joke of 'how can she get much worse?'). In all seriousness, she should get more than a year to prove herself. And she has shown glimpses of potential. With 2013 just her second full year of stock-car racing — Patrick's first was a 10th-place finish in the Nationwide Series in 2012 — her stock-car resume didn’t exactly project a strong rookie Cup season....

Ossoff has been continuing his attacks on both Republican senators as he campaigns in person on the homestretch of the race, while his rival continues to quarantine after potentially being exposed to coronavirus. Both President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden are expected to hold rallies in support of their respective parties’ candidates this week. However, in an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Ossoff questioned why Trump was holding a rally to back Mitch McConnell’s hold on the Senate when the Senate Majority Leader was treating him like an “irrelevant lame duck president....

Barca confident on new Messi contract After Suarez signed from Liverpool in the summer of 2014 and sat out the remainder of his ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, the Uruguayan quickly formed an understanding with Messi and Neymar as Barca won the treble in 2014-15. The three have broken all sorts of goalscoring records since then and were described by Luis Enrique last year as “the best trident in the history of football”....

Looking back on everything Indianapolis did right in a 39-33 victory— and it was a lot—there was nothing special about it: just simple, aggressive, physical, defensive football buoyed by a talented quarterback, Andrew Luck, who could stand just as tall as Manning. MORE: Scoreboard | Week 7 highlights | Week 7’s best images | Chiefs last unbeaten There were no exotic blitzes or fancy coverage. The Colts manned up against Manning’s receivers and plastered them so they would struggle to get separation....

Russia gave the European Union (EU) an ultimatum earlier this month and said its Nord Stream 1 pipeline would not resume until sanctions against the country were lifted. EU leaders joined other nations in condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and issued several crippling sanctions against key individuals supported by the Kremlin as well as against the country itself. This week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hit out at Moscow and said it was “actively manipulating the gas market,” but insisted the continent would “diversify away from Russian fossil fuels....

It was the secretary of the navy, Frank Knox, calling to inform him that the nation was under attack: The Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor. In a long, ringing tone, the president shouted: “No!” The surprise attack on one of America’s most strategic naval bases shocked Roosevelt as well as the nation. It would turn out to be one of the worst military defeats in American history, killing 2,403 sailors, soldiers and civilians....

The UC Davis Health System has a helpful way of understanding the difference. It suggests we use a computer analogy and imagine that the gray matter is the actual computer, while white matter is the cables that connect the computer to other devices. How Gray Matter Is Affected by Dementia Research studies have found a correlation between people who have dementia and reduced gray matter volume in the brain. In people with Alzheimer’s disease, the hippocampus, in particular, is noted to experience atrophy....

So many doubted that Guardiola could dominate English football like he did in Spain and Germany, but having won the Premier League title in such commanding fashion that is exactly what he has done. City have spent more than their rivals in recent years, yes, but the gulf in terms of both class and points is not something that can simply be bought. After all, City spent plenty ahead of Guardiola’s first season, too, but the outcome was very different....

The town of Palm Beach, the billionaire’s playground where Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is located, was no exception—though buyers in the area have much deeper pockets than the average aspiring homeowner in the U.S. “There are only so many homes on the island of Palm Beach,” Palm Beach realtor John Pinson told Newsweek. “In the high season, the town has a residential population of about 10,000 people. So it’s not very big, and it’s this availability factor that drives up prices there....

How Common Is Anal Cancer? Until recently, cervical cancer was thought to be the main cancer risk associated with HPV infection. Anal cancers and other genital cancers were thought to be relatively rare. However, although the overall anal cancer rate is still low, in certain populations the risk of anal cancer is actually quite high. For example, HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) have been reported to have anal cancer rates that are very high....

Being carded at our grocery store would be truly thrilling. I don’t know its definition of senior, but on Tuesdays when I say “We get the senior discount,” no clerk has, alas, ever questioned me. That week the store was offering a 10-percent discount to its “valued customers,” which on Tuesday made a combined 15 percent for “valued” seniors like my husband, John Fischer, and me. I don’t think of myself as a senior or even old....

Dole hasn’t been able to sell his tax plan because people don’t feel he believes it himself. Aware that a weak presidential campaign could imperil their control of Congress, House and Senate Republicans are distancing themselves from the nominee–they stayed away in droves when Dole returned to Capitol Hill last week. In fact, the only time Dole got any real news play was during the San Diego convention itself. Since Labor Day, the Iraq situation has meant that the news has mostly been about Clinton as commander in chief, and Clinton has been playing the part well enough....

The No. 1 overall pick out of LSU had shown lots of promise for the Bengals before his rookie campaign had been cut short. Cincinnati had struggled to win games with a poor offensive line and subpar defense, but Burrow had shouldered much of the offensive load, proving he’s indeed the Bengals’ franchise quarterback going forward. The main timeline that matters to Bengals fans now is whether Burrow will be back in time for Week 1 of 2021....

Siakam suffered the shoulder injury on May 8, causing him to miss the remainder of the 2020-21 season with what was originally diagnosed as a shoulder strain.
