(Reuters) - Fernando Alonso said on Wednesday he is not yet comfortable with oval racing as the Spanish driver races to cram years of learning into a few weeks of preparation for this year’s Indianapolis 500. Alonso, a two-times Formula One world champion who only settled into the cockpit of an IndyCar for the first time two weeks ago, said he has plenty of work to do before being ready for the May 28 race....
“I wouldn’t say we’re disappointed by Stoffel. You’d like to see him beating his teammate more often than he has”, said McLaren CEO Zak Brown. “That’s the same in any situation. You’d love to see your teammates split right down the middle in beating each other every weekend.” But he admitted that the car’s weakness also played its part. “He’s not been able to do that on a regular basis but I wouldn’t say we’re disappointed because last year we know we gave him a very difficult situation and this year we’ve not given him a very good car to work with....

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - A triple-bogey seven dropped Bryson DeChambeau four shots from the lead at the Masters, but the closing-hole blunder failed to dampen the spirits of the American amateur on Friday. Playing in the same group as second-round leader Jordan Spieth, DeChambeau arrived at the 18th tee one shot behind the defending champion. But a pulled tee ball forced DeChambeau to reload and another errant drive made him fortunate to score a seven for a 72 and even-par total of 144....
Exactly why pre-orders for Scarlet Nexus on next-gen consoles have gone live isn’t clear. It’s possible that pre-orders went up for the current generation version of the game, the PS4 and Xbox One version, and that the next-gen options were activated by accident. It’s also possible that Scarlet Nexus received approval to put up pre-orders. Xbox has already confirmed the game for the Xbox Series X, at the very least....

But Hamad may have recently run afoul of another American battle: a campaign against money laundering. After the British island of Jersey tightened its anti-money-laundering laws, a bank informed authorities three years ago of its suspicion that three trusts controlled by Hamad might contain criminal proceeds. Jersey’s attorney general opened a criminal investigation into whether more than $150 million held in the trusts could be kickbacks that Hamad obtained from companies seeking to do business with the Qatari government....

Although the condition attacks hair follicles, it doesn’t destroy them, so there is no scarring and hair will re-grow over time. Children, teens, and adults can be affected and genetics play a part in who develops it. Even though alopecia areata usually resolves itself, some treatment options exist, as well as coping strategies when hair loss causes anxiety and embarrassment. Symptoms of Alopecia Areata People who have this condition are, for the most part, otherwise healthy....
The story of the no-shows tells you a lot about the state of the GOP. Some—like John McCain—had longstanding conflicts. But Mitt Romney was considered a likely guest until the last possible minute, then chose instead to speak at another cancer event, hastily scheduled this week by Republicans at the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research. The best explanation for Romney’s decision to stiff Armstrong is that he didn’t want to face questions from co-moderator Chris Matthews about why he was running away from his innovative health care plan in Massachusetts....
Which ticket would he run on? It’s not even close. Bloomberg was a lifelong Democrat who became a Republican not out of conviction but because he couldn’t win a Democratic primary for mayor of New York. (It wasn’t possible to run as an independent.) His politics have remained fairly liberal. In fact, his positions on issues like abortion, gun control, gay rights and government regulation actually put him slightly to the left of the Democratic Party mainstream....
Unfortunately, this common phrase often leaves surviving family members and friends uncertain if they should or shouldn’t send flowers as an expression of love and support if they desire. Why Is ‘In Lieu of Flowers’ a Problem? According to the Society of American Florists, a national trade association representing all segments of the U.S. floral industry, the phrase “In lieu of flowers…” became a nationwide problem in the 1950s....
Kamara was listed on the Saints’ injury report for the second straight day, only this time he didn’t participate in practice due to an ankle injury. The 24-year-old was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice as a result of the same problem. New Orleans listed him as questionable for Sunday’s game. With Kamara possibly out, it could add to a list of problems for the Saints who will be without quarterback Drew Brees for the fourth straight game after he suffered a thumb injury in Week 2....
The 27-year-old Baumgardner, a 2014 National Golden Gloves silver gold medalist, is on a quest to become an undisputed champion after her dominant win over Terri Harper in November. “2021 was definitely a breakthrough year for me,” said Baumgardner. “I had a great experience working with Matchroom to win the WBC and IBO world titles in the UK. Signing this deal with them puts me in a position to achieve my next goal of becoming undisputed at 130 pounds....
Milano, who is a board member of the progressive organization People for the American Way (PFAW), tweeted about her arrest Tuesday. PFAW later confirmed she was among the 25 individuals arrested when contacted by Newsweek. “I was just arrested for demanding the Biden Administration and the Senate use their mandate to protect voting rights,” Milano tweeted shortly before 3 p.m. local time. She added encouragement for followers to support her shared mission with PFAW to “tell the Senate and White House that voting rights shouldn’t depend on where you live....

Asked whether Cooper will be a full-go for Week 4, Jones said: “Yes, I feel very good about that,” adding, “I think we’re in good shape.” Cooper has been limited this week in practice and underwent a “precautionary” MRI exam Wednesday.
