Dolly Parton's final resting place has already been prepared, and the country icon will share a memorial with her beloved husband, Carl Dean.
Exclusive photos obtained by In Touch reveal Parton's bronze marker at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, showing her name already engraved on the couple's shared marker opposite Dean's. Her January 19, 1946, birth date is also engraved, and there's a ***** e left for the "Jolene" singer's date of death.
Jeff Rayner/Coleman-Rayner
Dean's side bears his full name, Carl Thomas, along with his birth date, July 20, 1942, and the date of his death, March 3, 2025.
The marker also includes a nod to Parton and Dean's nearly 60-year marriage, with two intertwined wedding rings and their wedding date — May 30, 1966 — engraved in the center.

Aug 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared Roche and partner Eli Lilly's blood test to help identify signs of Alzheimer's disease in people aged 55 and older with cognitive decline.
The test, Elecsys pTau217, is a biomarker blood test that can help doctors identify patients who are likely or unlikely to have Alzheimer's-related brain changes, Roche said on Monday.
The FDA clearance follows European approval for the test in May.
The test can be run on more than 4,500 Roche laboratory ******* yzers already installed across the United States, which the company said could help broaden access.
Separately, Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics said that they plan to offer the test through their laboratory networks, potentially expanding availability across the United States.

MECHANICSBURG, Maryland: Cole Davies used the first lap to evaluate the track and then took the lead from Chance Hymas to command the lead of the first Budds Creek moto as Levi Kitchen crashed and lost significant position on the course.
Davies entered the moto only one point out of the lead and immediately gained control of the championship battle.
Kitchen took a risk on the far inside gate and seemed to make the most of it. He was pushed off course on the opening straight and rode halfway down the straight on the grass, inside the course markers. Kitchen got the holeshot, but it didn't take long for him to waste the opportunity.
Early in Lap 1, Kitchen crashed and fell back to 17th.
Kitchen worked his way up to 10th until he ran through his tear-offs on Lap 5. He began to fall back with limited visibility, regained a spot, but as time ran off the clock, the AMA announced he would be hit a four-position penalty for riding inside the markers out of the gate.

The home side were looking to build on a positive performance last time out, despite suffering defeat away from home against Southampton.
There were little to no chances in the opening moments of the game as both sides looked to settle into possession and establish control.
A good team move almost created the opener as Nwosu found Jai Bansoodeb, who carried the ball towards the edge of the box before firing narrowly over.
The young Bees were first to strike, with Nwosu peeling away from his marker before steering a close-range finish past the goalkeeper following a cross from Coran Madden.
The away side could have levelled as Reece Bastafield fired a free-kick towards goal from 25 yards, but Layton Nicholls stretched to tip the ball onto the post.

Mikel Arteta is obviously delighted after ****** nal secured a 3-0 win against Coventry City on the Premier League's opening night, allowing them to start their ****** le defence on a high.
Everyone expected the Gunners to beat Coventry, as they had performed well in their previous match against Manchester City and were playing at home against the Premier League new boys.
It was one of those games most people expected ****** nal to win, but it still had the potential to go badly for the home side. Instead, they managed to secure the result they wanted from the fixture.
Arteta watched as his players dominated the match from start to finish, and the manager was delighted that they got the job done and started the season with a winning result.
The Gunners have now laid down a marker, and their rivals will have to respond when they begin their own seasons. ****** nal can now rest and prepare for their next matches after making an impressive start to their ****** le defence.

Everton begin their 125th top flight season and the second at their new Merseyside home against last year's Europa Conference League champions Crystal Palace.
The Toffees go into the game cautiously optimistic after some bright moments in pre-season. Their remains frustration however at a failure to address key issues in the transfer marker and the uncertainty over the future of David Moyes as he prepares to enter the final year of his contract.
The late season collapse is also fresh in people's minds, with the opportunity of European football thrown away thanks to a winless seven-game run to close out the season.
New signings include last season's Championship Player of the Year Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough, an energetic number eight who can hopefully add some incisiveness even from the deeper midfield position he's been deployed at so far. Tyrique George and Merlin Rohl turned their loan stints into permanent deals. Christian Norgaard looks to be a savvy signing from ****** nal to replace Idrissa Gueye, while Brennan Johnson adds pace and dynamism following his Dwight McNeil swap deal with Saturday's opponents Palace.
The yawning hole in the squad though remains right-back, a position Everton have failed to adequately address for years. That failure had hung over the Toffees' summer and the overall mood of the fans at the end of the window will like rest on whether they address it.

On August 6, 10x Genomics (NASDAQ:TXG) reported second-quarter revenue of $151 million, boosted by a $1.6 million settlement payment from Takara. Strip that out and revenue grew just 3% year-over-year to $149.4 million, a modest number next to the real headline of the quarter: a brand-new instrument platform called Atera, where booked orders have exceeded full-year planned shipments.
By the end of the second quarter, booked orders for Atera already exceeded the roughly 40 units 10x had planned to ship for all of 2026. Demand also showed up in Catalyst Research Services, the program that lets customers run samples on Atera in 10x's own lab before committing to buy a unit. Away from Atera, the existing consumables business kept growing, up 7% overall, with spatial consumables climbing 16% on continued strength in the Xenium platform. During the quarter, 10x acquired Proteintech Genomics, adding single-cell protein panels that management says will let Atera measure proteins alongside gene expression from the same cell.
The balance sheet backed up the story. Cash and marketable securities rose to $552 million, up $105 million from a year earlier, and gross margin expanded to 74% from 72%. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to a range of $610 million to $630 million. New research partnerships with Cleveland Clinic and Lausanne University Hospital, aimed at finding biomarkers of treatment response in oncology, point to where 10x hopes this technology eventually leads: clinical diagnostics.
The flip side of Atera's launch showed up in the instrument line. Total instrument revenue fell 47% year over year, with Chromium instruments down 46% and spatial instruments down 48%, as customers held off on buying older spatial systems while waiting for the new platform. Management expects that pause to continue, guiding for a sequential revenue step down in the third quarter before a bigger jump in the fourth. Even though booked Atera orders already exceed the year's full production plan, 10x kept its shipment target at about 40 units, weighted mostly toward the fourth quarter, a sign the company is still constrained on how fast it can build the machine.
Regionally, APAC revenue fell 19%, partly because customers in China had pulled purchases forward a year earlier ahead of anticipated tariffs. Operating expenses rose to $132.1 million from $95 million, though the comparison is skewed by a $40.7 million patent settlement gain booked in the prior year versus $3.4 million this year.

On August 7, AdvanSix (NYSE:ASIX) reported second-quarter sales of $421 million, up about 3% from a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA fell $24 million to $32 million and adjusted EPS dropped $1.50 to $0.19. Behind those numbers sits a story of two forces pulling in opposite directions: a $72 million year-over-year jump in raw material costs, and a fertilizer season where farmers spent less than the company expected. What stands out is how completely AdvanSix priced its way through the cost spike, even as volume told a rougher story.
The quarter's 3% sales growth broke down into 18% favorable pricing against a 15% volume decline. Raw material pass-through pricing rose 13% as benzene and propylene costs climbed, while market-based pricing improved 5%, largely on higher plant nutrient pricing tied to sulfur input costs. That combination fully offset the $72 million raw material headwind for the quarter, and the swing looked even sharper sequentially: a $10 million net price/cost headwind in the first quarter flipped into a $39 million tailwind in the second. AdvanSix also closed out the full fertilizer year near a record for domestic granular ammonium sulfate volume, supported by progress toward a 75% ammonium sulfate granular conversion mix, with its sustained growth program generating returns above 30%.
Looking ahead, the company plans to grow ammonia sales volume 30% in 2026 against 2025's already record year, and it is applying for a USDA grant to expand ammonia capacity further. Management also pointed to a stronger cash flow picture in the back half of 2026, citing a lower capital spending run rate, working capital tailwinds from the fourth quarter fertilizer pre-buy program, and 45Q carbon capture tax credits.
The same quarter that showed pricing discipline also showed real demand strain. Plant nutrient volume came in below expectations as rising grower input costs met steady, lower crop and grain prices, squeezing farmer profitability enough to cut overall fertilizer consumption and drive a $17 million unfavorable volume impact. A planned ammonia plant turnaround, shifted into the quarter to align with a supplier's pipeline inspection, added another $4 million operational hit. Sulfur costs have been a bigger problem still. The Tampa sulfur marker closed at a record $705 per long ton in the third quarter, up from $655 in the second, and AdvanSix estimates every $100 per long ton move costs it roughly $35 million a year.

Guadalajara made the most of the superiority it showed on the field at TSM and claimed a 1-0 win over Santos on Matchday 4 of the 2026 Apertura. With this victory, the Rojiblancos picked up 3 important points that allow them to keep climbing the standings.
True to their style, the Rebaño Sagrado took the field intending to impose their conditions from the opening whistle. Gabriel Milito's side pushed their lines forward to create danger in the final third. Despite going into halftime scoreless, Guadalajara maintained its intensity and never stopped looking for the opener.
That persistence paid off in the second half. Santiago Sandoval made a great play inside the box, where he feinted and shook off his marker to draw a foul that led to a penalty. Ricardo Marín took responsibility from the spot and converted to score the goal that gave Guadalajara the win in the Comarca Lagunera.
Guadalajara's next match will be at home. On Saturday, August 22, they will host Tijuana at AKRON Stadium, where they will look to earn another win in front of the entire Nación Rojiblanca.

Qiagen (NYSE:QGEN) walked into its second quarter of 2026 bracing investors for a roughly 2% sales decline. Instead, net sales came in flat at $535 million on August 6, and adjusted diluted EPS hit $0.62, both ahead of the company's own outlook. For a diagnostics and life sciences supplier still working through the loss of discontinued product lines, beating a cautious bar is one thing. What happens next, as management leans on a stack of new launches to carry the back half of the year, is the more interesting question.
The company's so-called growth pillars, the businesses management is counting on to outpace the broader market, expanded 5% at constant exchange rates in the quarter. Sample Technologies led with 9% CER growth, driven by automated consumables and higher instrument sales. QIAcuity, the digital PCR platform, posted double-digit consumables growth even as weaker OEM demand offset some of that strength. QuantiFERON, the tuberculosis test that had flagged a sharp drop in US immigration testing demand back in the first quarter, still managed to return to growth as demand across other testing groups more than made up the difference.
Behind those numbers sits a wave of product activity. QIAsymphony Connect launched commercially, QIAsprint Connect placements are drawing what management called strong pharma customer acceptance, and two new bloodstream infection panels for QIAstat launched in Europe, detecting 33 pathogens and 28 resistance markers in about an hour, with US FDA approval targeted by year-end. Parse, the single-cell ****** ysis business, is running ahead of its roughly $40 million 2026 sales target and was selected for a NASA-supported research program aboard the International ****** e Station. Qiagen also completed a $500 million share repurchase in January and raised its annual dividend 40% to $0.35 per share.
The flat top line masks uneven performance underneath. Diagnostic solutions overall declined 2% at constant currency, and PCR and nucleic acid amplification sales fell 8%, with QIAstat-Dx down 7% as a tough prior-year comparison in respiratory testing outweighed gains in gastrointestinal and meningitis panels. Profitability also gave ground. Adjusted operating income fell 2% to $157 million, with the margin slipping to 29.4% from 29.9% a year earlier, and adjusted gross margin declined to 66.2% from 66.7% on product mix shifts.
Regionally, EMEA sales fell 2% CER as declines in Germany, France, and Italy outweighed gains elsewhere, and Asia Pacific sales fell 2% CER as China dropped in the low teens, even though it improved sequentially. Inventory days outstanding also climbed to 153 from 149, tied to stockpiling ahead of new launches. The company is now guiding to a jump from roughly negative 1% CER sales growth in the first half to 3% to 4% in the second half, a swing that leans heavily on new products, easier comparisons and the fading drag from discontinued lines all landing on schedule.

Recent seasons have brought notable highs and lows for Lazio, which become clearer when reviewing more than just scores or headlines. Fans and football betting enthusiasts often study long-term trends, such as league position consistency, scoring stats, and defensive markers, to understand where the club excels or faces challenges.

Erling Haaland was among the first Manchester City players to reach out to Enzo Maresca and offer his congratulations upon succeeding Pep Guardiola. However, the Norwegian striker is unlikely to be leading the side out too frequently under the new manager — and it's precisely because he finds the back of the net so often.
Haaland was handed the City captaincy following January 2025, when he put pen to paper on a new deal tying him to the club for nearly a decade. The 26-year-old has developed into a genuine leader over the past season and remains one of just a handful of players still at the club from their Treble-winning campaign three years ago.
New boss Maresca will be leaning on Haaland not only for his presence in the dressing room but also for his prolific output in front of goal. A greater emphasis will be put on getting the ball wide so that City's wide players can beat their markers and deliver into the box, which should generate even more scoring opportunities for the No.9, as per the Manchester Evening News.

EAST RUTHERFORD - Jaxson Dart faked the handoff and rolled the other way on a naked bootleg, nothing but green grass between him and the first-down marker on a third-and-5 play during team drills.
"Critical situations" is how Giants coach John Harbaugh termed it, and all Dart did was what he was supposed to do.
The Giants' quarterback got the first down and immediately went down, smoothly sliding feet-first while staying in bounds, essentially ending the game in that scenario.
You would've thought Dart scored the game-winning touchdown on opening night against the Cowboys the way the sideline erupted in delight. Was it a Bronx cheer of sorts? Perhaps not dripping with as much sarcasm, mind you, but the point was the same: the moment itself was appreciated by all.
"I clapped. I applauded," Harbaugh said with a laugh, clapping again for effect in his post-practice news conference Monday. "I applauded when [Dart] did that. It was great."

If you've been feeling apprehensive about the stock market lately, you're in the majority. Around three-quarters of American investors said they were concerned about a market downturn in 2026, according to a July survey by MarketWise.
Pessimism about the future of the market isn't unusual: Even in the most bullish runs, fears of a market crash are present. But what is unusual about the current bull run is the historic valuation extreme it's approaching -- one seen only once in the last 150 years.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio, which divides the price of an index, such as the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), by its average inflation-adjusted earnings over the last 10 years, has climbed to a startling level. By one calculation, the CAPE ratio currently sits at roughly 41.4 -- only a few points below the all-time high reached in the dot-com era.
A high CAPE ratio usually indicates that stocks are very expensive, at least by historical standards. For context, the CAPE ratio has averaged about 16 to 17 over the last century and a half, and it has crossed the 30 marker only a handful of times, most notably during the Roaring '20s (i.e., just before the Great Depression) and the tech bubble of the late '90s.

Felix Rosenqvist and Will Power walked away from the Grand Prix of Portland with second- and third-place podium finishes, but their post-race focus remained squarely on traffic nightmares, with both drivers taking aim at IndyCar's approach to backmarkers.
Rosenqvist started on pole in the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda, commanding the early pace and leading 33 laps. However, a combination of a tight exit from his pit box near rookie Mick Schumacher's crew and an overcut strategy by winner Alex Palou relegated him to second position.
While acknowledging Palou's strong pace on the primary tires, Rosenqvist pulled no punches regarding lapped cars holding up race leaders.
"(Palou) just drove better, to be honest," Rosenqvist said. "Not a lot quicker, but he was a little bit quicker, especially on the blacks. That first stint he outsmarted us, did one lap longer. I didn't know he did that, so maybe we need to work on communication. I don't think I could have kept up with that pace he did anyways, if I saved that much fuel."
Rosenqvist also criticised the lapped traffic he and Palou encountered before their final stops. Both lost time behind Louis Foster, who had recently emerged from the pits on fresh tyres.

NEW DELHI: Flustered by the frequent injury breakdowns of players in the Indian team, the medical team at the Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru is looking to resurrect its fitness programme. TOI understands that the CoE is finally working on standardising base fitness parameters after it emerged that the non-definitive customised fitness tests for players were identified as a core reason for the drop in the overall fitness standards.
The Indian team went through a change in fitness testing drills after Adrian Leroux replaced Soham Desai as the strength and conditioning coach last year. It is learnt that the BCCI medical team, which includes the CoE and the Indian team, has struggled to work in sync to ***** s the fitness of players. Since Leroux took over, it was decided that the Bronco test would be the primary test to judge fitness instead of the Yo-Yo test.
The Bronco test, which is a more agility driven test, didn't have a base parameter till now. TOI has learnt that the BCCI medical team has rolled out a figure of 5.15-5.20 minutes as a base figure to complete the ***** orted drills to be declared fit enough to be selected after the debacle in white-ball tour of Ireland and England. Earlier, the BCCI had set 16.5 as a marker to clear the basic Yo-Yo test. The CoE has also set 9-10 minute mark to complete the 2 km running test which is known as the 2K test.
"The Indian players are not used to the Bronco test. Over the last year, the CoE had set different base parameters for players. It has now emerged that certain senior players were given much comfortable targets to meet to clear fitness tests. The CoE staff had also cleared players like Harshit Rana and Nitish ***** ar Reddy to make sure it was delivering players according to team management's needs," a BCCI source told TOI.
TOI has learnt that the team management and BCCI, led by secretary Devajit Saikia, has questioned Team India physio Kamlesh Jain for the repeated breakdowns and overall dip in the fitness standards. The team management is also not happy with players cramping so frequently even in the favourable English weather.
"Kamlesh has been told that he shouldn't worry about any player's stature and flag anything that he doesn't find satisfactory. It has been seen that the mobility of some of the players in the field has been questionable. Senior batters are struggling to push their running between the wickets as they bat longer. The number of slow fielders has increased," the source said.
It has been observed that regular India players have not been prepared for the new fitness drills. For instance, someone like Mohammed Siraj was recently caught off guard by the sudden fitness tests at CoE before leaving for Sri Lanka.
"It is only now that contracted players have been handed the base parameters of the new tests. The Test regulars were caught off guard by the programme given to them at CoE. The players who are not part of the Test team are now starting t

The Audi Summer Tour kicked off in the Korean island of Jeju with Bayern Munich taking on Jeju SK FC. The Bavarians fielded a lot of young players for a large portion of the match and the 2-1 lead is a result of the Bayern youth's hard work. While a few of the first team players came on later in the game, they could not affect the scoreboard despite some good chances. Here are the match awards from this hard fought game although it was a friendly on paper.
The Brazilian was a live wire for Jeju. Aiás was not only a finishing threat, but also had the skill to set up one of his teammates. Jeju's goal came off some sheer brilliance from the Brazilian forward. His rainbow flick near the goal line completely flummoxed Kim Min-jae. He found his partner Chang-Min Lee who pulled back his marker in the very last moment to drift into open ***** e. That was all Jeju needed to equalize. It was a brilliant goal from the setup by Aiás to the finish by Lee. Aiás was also the joint highest dribbler of the game with Bayern's Guido Della Rovere.
The Bayern backline suffered from poor communication. Dayot Upamecano did not travel for the tour and is on an extended holiday after France's deep run in the World Cup. The Frenchman's absence along with Jonathan Tah starting on the bench exposed the lack of leadership and co-ordination in the defense. The duo of Hiroki Itō and Kim Min-jae should have done better being the seniors on the pitch. While Jeju's goal was brilliant, there were gaps in the box throughout the first half that could have led to more goals conceded.
João Palhinha was often rushing to break up play or screen the backline. He made two crucial tackles and was the primary physical presence for Bayern in their own third of the pitch. The Portuguese international's reading of the game allowed him to shield his defenders and the passing lanes in between. His ***** ist to Bastian ***** omo's winning goal came from an interception due to his positioning. A good game for Palhinha and maybe under Vincent Kompany can become a crucial sub in Champions League knockouts.
The young midfielder showed once again why he is Bayern's present and future in midfield. His technical ability is supreme, there is always a diagonal pass ready to precisely find his teammate across the pitch. His time at left-back last season further honed his defensive skills and that has improved his game in the middle. Bischof can really throw a tackle if he needs to. This is despite Bischof coming off as a typical technical player, who might prefer to let a defender or a CDM do the dirty work. With two tackles and just three passes misplaced, the 21 year-old is the best box-to-box midfielder under Kompany at the moment. Additionally, Bischof is miles ahead of Joshua Kimmich with his corner kicks which will be a welcome change in that direction.

The first mile marker of any Tennessee **** ans preseason was passed during their Aug. 3 practice. Yup, they wore full pads for the first time during this training camp. The acclimation period, officially, has ended.
Time to hit somebody:
Quarterback Cam Ward has his best practice yet of camp. Same for the entire offense.
From the jump, Ward looked more decisive and confident in flinging passes deeper down the field. He found Calvin Ridley for a big play, beating cornerback Cor'Dale Flott. He hit Wan'Dale Robinson several times in the middle of the field for nice gains. He had some nice throws and completed a higher percentage than what we'd been seeing from him going back to summer workouts.
So that was encouraging.

According to Forbes, Rob Walton and family are worth $130.7 billion. To put that in perspective, let's borrow the method described by author Bill Bryson in his book I'm a Stranger Here Myself. He imagined a fictitious room where unending stacks of $1 bills were piled high and a person inside is given a marker. We'll pretend it's the Broncos mascot, Miles.
If [Miles] initialed one dollar per second, [he] would make $1,000 every seventeen minutes. After 12 days of nonstop effort [he] would acquire [his] first $1 million. Thus, it would take [him] 120 days to accumulate $10 million and 1,200 days— something over three years—to reach $100 million. After 31.7 years [Miles] would become a billionaire…
Tasked with a sharpie and the chore above, it would take Miles just 4,141 years, 231 days, 4 hours and 40 minutes to count dollar-by-dollar, the Rob Walton & family fortune. No bathroom breaks. No sleep. No hype sessions on top of the scoreboard.
…but they are going to claim they need your money via personal seat licenses to help offset the cost of building the new stadium.
Personal seat licenses are a one time or recurring fee for season ticket holders to get the right to buy their season tickets. Shockingly enough, the Broncos have managed to survive 66-years of season ticket sales without them, but now they're suddenly necessary? It's a cash-grab scam done by other teams to gouge their fans out of even more money; a scam that casually lives right next to $220 jerseys, $45 hats, and $19 beers.

Wisconsin Badgers volleyball announced the alumni match roster, which gives the program a useful preseason marker before the regular season begins.
The event is designed as a celebration of the program's past, but it also gives the current Badgers a public setting to start showing how a new group is taking shape.
With former players such as Carter Booth, Sarah Franklin, and coaches headlined by Dana Rettke, Badgers fans will have a chance to see former greats back in town.
The alumni element adds a little edge to the format. Former players know the expectations attached to Wisconsin volleyball and understand the pace, competitiveness, and attention that comes with wearing the jersey. That makes the match a better preseason reference point than a simple workout, even if the result itself will not carry regular-season weight.
For the current Badgers, the most important outcome will be clarity. The program needs to see which connections are developing quickly and which areas need more work before the schedule turns serious. Fans get an early look, but the staff gets something more valuable: a chance to move from summer projections to evidence. That is exactly what a preseason event should provide.

Newell Brands (NWL), the company behind Sharpie markers, Graco car seats, Coleman coolers, and Rubbermaid containers, watched its stock lose about 74% of its value over the last five years.
Then on Friday, July 31, the maker of those household staples did something it had not done in over four years. It grew.
Newell reported its first year-over-year increase in both net sales and core sales since 2021, and investors responded quickly.
The stock jumped about 15% to trade near $5.90.
For a name that many ***** ysts had written off as a value trap, the second-quarter report changed the conversation.

Four people were arrested after authorities said hundreds of vehicles blocked all northbound lanes of Interstate 75 during an apparent street takeover in Hillsborough County, Florida early Saturday, prompting a high-speed chase that reached 140 mph.
The incident began around 1:30 a.m. near mile marker 266 in Thonotosassa, where Florida Highway Patrol traffic cameras captured a large gathering of vehicles stopping traffic while some drivers performed burnouts in the middle of the interstate, according to an arrest report.
As troopers responded to the scene, video showed vehicles rapidly dispersing as drivers and spectators rushed back to their cars, the report said. While most of those involved were allowed to leave without facing charges, one green BMW allegedly sped away from the scene, leading a trooper to initiate a pursuit.
Florida Man In Bunny Helmet Allegedly Led Police On 120 Mph Chase Before Surrendering To Troopers
According to FHP, the BMW accelerated to approximately 140 mph — about twice the posted speed limit — before exiting the interstate and eventually stopping in a parking lot.

Arsenal continued their pre-season schedule in style with an impressive 4-1 victory over Girona in Catalonia, as teenage sensation Max Dowman once again underlined why excitement around the youngster continues to grow.
As reported by Sky Sports, the 16-year-old produced a goal and an ******* ist in a superb individual display, while new summer signing Christos Tzolis also marked the occasion with a goal as Mikel Arteta's side eased to victory.
It took ******* nal just 16 minutes to break the deadlock, and it was Dowman who created the opener with a moment of real quality.
The teenager turned brilliantly to escape his marker before threading an inch-perfect through ball into the path of Kai Havertz, who calmly finished beyond Paulo Gazzaniga to give the Gunners the lead.
Dowman continued to influence proceedings throughout the opening half and almost found the net himself before Tzolis doubled ******* nal's advantage on 32 minutes. The Greek winger capped an encouraging second outing with a low effort that took a slight deflection on its way into the bottom corner.

Internacional, champions of the 1st U-15 Copa do BrasilCredits: Rafael Ribeiro / CBF
In an exciting final between two top teams from Brazil's youth ranks, Internacional beat Palmeiras 3-1 this Saturday (August 1) to become the champions of the first U-15 Copa do Brasil. The match was played at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), and was attended by CBF president Samir Xaud.
Asafe, Kayki, and Gustavo Fahmer scored the goals in the win. Maicon scored for Palmeiras. At an intense pace, both teams fought for every ball with grit and determination. They also stood out for their creativity, dribbling, and plays that showed technique and great skill.
At the start of the first half, Palmeiras took control of the game and opened the scoring in the 12th minute through Maicon, after a run down the right by Gabriel Bueno, who got past his marker. It looked as though Palmeiras' second goal would not take long, such was the team's dominance.
But Inter changed the course of the match. They started moving the ball more quickly and equalized in the 26th minute with a goal by Asafe after a corner kick. Then, in the 38th minute, they completed the comeback with a fine finish from Kaique from outside the box.

(NewsNation) — ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a fatal neurological disease with no cure. For people who carry genetic mutations linked to the disease, one of the biggest challenges is not knowing when symptoms might begin.
New research funded by the National Institutes of Health could help change that.
Researchers have developed a blood test that may predict when an at-risk person is likely to develop ALS symptoms, providing a potential window for preventive treatment before irreversible nerve damage occurs.
The study identified protein markers in the blood that can help predict the onset of symptoms, a transition known as phenoconversion.
Dr. Anthony Youn says popular peptides 'aren't studied enough' in humans

The San Francisco 49ers are putting the pads on in full for the first time on Friday. Defensive tackle Alfred Collins will take part, as he's recovered from shoulder surgery. Last Saturday, John Lynch anticipated Collins returning in the second window as long as Collins hit the markers he needed to return, which he apparently did.
The 49ers need Collins to take a second-year jump, especially with Mykel Williams still on the Active/PUP. Collins is a former top-50 pick. He was a dominant run defender as a rookie. That'll go a long way for the 49ers, who need to get to passing downs.
Still, with Garcen Halton dealing with a bone bruise, the interior pass rush took a hit. The 49ers could use Keion White in that role, but Collins needs to bring something to the table as a pass rusher. That was not a strength as a rookie.
He had a pressure rate under 4% and only batted one pass. If you're not going to push the pocket, at least get your hand up in a throwing window. We'll see if Collins can change that in 2026.
