BAKU (Reuters) - The Brazilian Grand Prix at Sao Paulo’s Interlagos circuit could be axed after this season due to the country’s economic crisis, Formula One’s commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone said on Saturday. “I think the chances are that it won’t happen next year,” the 85-year-old Briton, whose wife is Brazilian, told reporters in oil-rich Azerbaijan where the sport is making its debut this weekend. Brazil, home of champions Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet and the late Ayrton Senna, has had an unbroken run on the calendar since 1973 with the race held in Rio de Janeiro in 1978 and from 1981 to 1989....

The Selecao have cruised to six consecutive victories in qualifying since Tite’s June 2016 appointment, and could secure their place at Russia 2018 with a favourable result in Montevideo.

Friendly victories over Chile and Honduras earlier this month were enough to lift Brazil to 10th, one place higher than last month, Xinhua reported. Brazil dropped out of the top 10 in June for the first time since the FIFA rankings system began in 1993. The biggest movers were Portugal, who rose nine places to fifth following their World Cup qualifying playoff victory against Sweden. Reigning world and European champions Spain remain first ahead of Germany, Argentina and Colombia....

But the nation’s “Golden Generation” have been reminded that the match against the favourites could represent the last chance for them to shine on the world stage. “It’s a dream match for our players,” Martinez told Belgian press after sealing qualification for the last eight with a last-gasp 3-2 victory over Japan in the first phase of the knockout rounds. “There won’t be many secrets to the game. We have to defend as well as we can and then punish them when we have the ball....

This comes after the former two-time WNBA Champion received interest from the New York Liberty during the ongoing free agency, including an in-person meeting. What is Breanna Stewart’s history with the Storm? The Storm drafted Stewart No. 1 overall in the 2016 WNBA Draft. In the six years since, the franchise has won two WNBA championships with the 6-foot-4 forward winning Finals MVP on both occasions (2018, 2020). In 2018, she also won her lone regular-season WNBA MVP award with averages of 21....

Shoulder pain is not a common symptom of breast cancer. When it occurs, shoulder pain can be a symptom of metastasis. This occurs when the breast cancer cells spread from your breast to another site in your body. Shoulder pain can involve breast cancer that has spread to your bones. It can also emerge as deferred pain from breast cancer that has spread to your liver. Shoulder pain, stiffness, frozen shoulder, and limited mobility can occur as a result of bruising, stretching, or other damage to the nerves that can occur during radiation therapy or breast surgery....

Fibroadenomas usually occur in premenopausal women. They may grow during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or estrogen therapy. Although fibroadenomas have a typical feel on physical examination and appearance on breast ultrasound, the only way to ensure a breast lump is a fibroadenoma is through a biopsy. Proven fibroadenomas may not need treatment unless they are large, fast-growing, or cause bothersome symptoms. This article explains what you need to know about breast fibroadenomas, how they are diagnosed, and what to do about them....

But every time he looks at the Bank of America 500 trophy, he may think more about it being the year he won the race but didn’t make the Chase.

To make matters worse, the Wizards are hoping to make it back to the playoffs following a season in which they won a disappointing 41 games. This team is built to compete now, and how Wall and Beal coexist will be the difference between them meeting expectations and falling short next season.

Last year, four years after Tatupu died from a heart attack at age 54, ex-wife Linnea Garcia-Tatupu donated part of his brain tissue to the CTE Center at Boston University. Garcia-Tatupu said that the family had worried about Tatupu’s deteriorating mental state in the years leading up to his death. He grew aloof and forgetful and eventually began drinking heavily toward the end of his 13-year NFL playing career, culminating with the unraveling of his 20-year marriage....

Frisen is quick to emphasize that his research is basic and that treatments are years off. But the findings so far hint at extraordinary potential. Two years ago he identified neural stem cells in the adult human brain. And he’s now researching the mechanisms by which these cells grow into different types of brain cells. Rather than growing brain tissue in a petri dish and implanting it in, say, the forebrain of a Parkinson’s patient, doctors might someday stimulate the spontaneous growth of new neural cells merely by administering a drug....

Staley opted to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Chargers’ 18 with his team trailing by three points and 9:41 remaining in the third quarter. The decision backfired, though perhaps not as badly as some expected, as running back Austin Ekeler was tackled for a 2-yard loss to force a turnover on downs. The Raiders only managed a field goal on the following drive to move ahead 20-14....

Argus, who is just six months old, was found in a terrible condition, living outdoors in Alameda County, California. He was rescued after staff at Alley Cat Allies, a nonprofit animal welfare organization, were contacted by a passerby who came across the badly hurt feline. Working alongside FieldHaven Feline Center, a shelter for cats and kittens awaiting adoption, Alley Cat Allies sprang into action. Alice Burton, director of programs for Alley Cat Allies, told Newsweek: “When Alley Cat Allies was informed by a concerned citizen about Argus’s situation, we rushed to arrange emergency medical care, and transportation for Argus over the weekend from a remote location to provide him with specialized, expert care and surgery in Northern California....
