The 24-year-old was travelling towards Ciutat Esportiva to meet up with his teammates, but crashed his Ferrari 458 Spider en route. Cursed: Why can’t Barca win at Anoeta Spanish channel TV3 confirmed that Neymar did not suffer any serious injuries in the incident, and should be fit to feature against Sociedad on Sunday evening. The crash occured when Neymar went to exit the highway, leaving the side of his car dented, but Neymar was unscathed and continued onwards to meet the rest of the squad and travel to San Sebastian....

By the second half, Neymar already was wearing a Barca polo. After the match ended, he was sporting a backwards hat while chatting with Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba. For now, the persistent rumours claiming he’s leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain were quiet Barca’s La Liga odds “The news on Neymar is he’s very happy to talk with some of his friends from Manchester,” Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde said at his post-match news conference....

The forward has been out of action since sustaining a broken metatarsal in late February - an injury that required surgery. Providing there were no complications during the rehabilitation period, Neymar was widely expected to be fit in time for Brazil’s Group E opener against Switzerland on June 17. And it appears the 26-year-old is on course to hit that deadline after PSG provided a brief medical update on Saturday....

“We won’t tolerate this,” said Sen. Dean G. Skelos, a Long Island Republican who sponsored the measure that passed Monday in the Senate. “There is no place for racism and intimidation in America.” The bill also covers etching, drawing or painting the symbol. He said that, as in the case of Nazi symbols and burning crosses, an intent to threaten or harass would be part of an anti-noose law....

The incident took place in the parking lot of Mambo’s Cafe, a Cuban restaurant at the intersection of Western Avenue and Victory Boulevard in Glendale, California, on October 17. The boy and his mother had been visiting the boy’s father at the restaurant, where he works, according to NBC 12. The Glendale Police Department said the mother and boy had been waiting in the parking lot when the child got out of the vehicle by himself....

During a Thursday press conference, the idea of giving Americans rebate cards or a direct payment was brought up, to which Pelosi said “those are things that are being considered.” But Pelosi rejected the idea of a gas tax holiday, saying there would not be a way to guarantee the gas and oil companies would follow through on providing the savings. The potential strategy is one of several the U....

In a statement published on Wednesday, Pelosi said the Families First Coronavirus Response Act will focus on providing “support for America’s families, who must be our first priority in this emergency.” The legislation includes free coronavirus testing “for everyone who needs a test, including the uninsured.” It also seeks to give workers new protections, including paid emergency leave, with both 14 days of paid sick leave and up to three months of paid family and medical leave, as well as enhanced unemployment insurance, which will extend protections to furloughed workers....

Assured that the Democratic contender Hillary Clinton would prevail over her GOP rival, Pelosi had an eye on retiring and spending more time with her family, according to the book written by USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page. But despite her confidence that she would be able to step down after 30 years in Congress and no longer hold the distinction of being, at that time, the highest-ranking woman in the history of the U....

Troy Driver, who was arrested on March 25, appeared virtually in court on Wednesday. After allegedly being seen on surveillance footage from the parking lot of the Walmart in Fernley, Nevada, where Irion was last seen, Driver has been charged with kidnapping in connection to the 18-year-old’s disappearance, however, her whereabouts are still unknown. Irion’s family members were in attendance at the hearing. “He’s the only one that can help us bring Naomi home,” Irion’s brother Casey Valley told reporters after the hearing....

There are several signs that indicate you may be suffering from narcissistic abuse. For example, in the early stages of a romantic relationship, a narcissistic partner may act perfect, but then patterns begin to change and manipulation tactics begin. Other signs include feeling confused, upset, or guilty about incidents that were not your fault but for which you are made to feel responsible. Narcissistic abuse may also involve public humiliation that is disguised as a joke....

A narcissistic person may gaslight you in different ways. For example, they might repeatedly try to convince you of something that you know isn’t true. Or they might hurt your feelings, only to later deny that they ever said anything hurtful at all. When gaslighting happens over and over again, it can make you feel like you’re going crazy and severely harms your mental health. Narcissistic gaslighting can occur in many types of relationships: family members, romantic partners, friends, teachers, coworkers, bosses, and people in positions of power....

The rocket broke up as it reentered Earth’s atmosphere with its remnants landing north of the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean, according to Space Force’s 18 Space Control Squadron. It added the Long March 5B, which was made of four boosters and a core stage, fell into the sea at 10:14 p.m. on Saturday. It was launched from Hainan island on April 29. The rocket contained the Tianhe module, which held what would be used eventually to house crew members on a permanent Chinese space station....

Last year, the space agency asked people around the world to submit their names to ride aboard the rover. In the end, more than 10.9 million did so, and their names were etched onto three fingernail-sized silicon chips using beams of electrons. In order to fit so many names on the three chips, each line of text is smaller than one-thousandth the width of a human hair, according to NASA....

The technique, devised by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientist, Richard K. Barry, unites astronomy’s future—in the form of the soon-to-launch Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope—with its past, a method used by 19th-century astronomers to measure distances. The Contemporaneous LEnsing Parallax and Autonomous TRansient Assay (CLEoPATRA) mission will use parallax to measure distances, but the method will be bolstered by artificial intelligence (AI) developed by Dr. Greg Olmschenk. Olmschenk’s program, RApid Machine learnEd Triage (RAMjET), will learn patterns through provided examples filtering out useless information and ensuring that of the millions of stars observed by CLEoPATRA per hour, only useful information is transmitted back to Earth....

The Weather Channel originally predicted a 50 percent chance of precipitation and scattered thunderstorms throughout race day Saturday in the Charlotte, N.C., area. It has since cleared up around Charlotte Motor Speedway with clouds and sun for much of the afternoon. The Weather Channel report has changed to just a 15 percent chance of precipitation throughout the night with clouds. STARTING LINEUP: Kenseth wins pole, Roush Fenway sweeps front row...

The veteran racer earned his 33rd career win after spending most of the afternoon battling his younger brother Kyle for the top spot in the Quaker State 400. Kyle won the first stage and was just two-tenths of a second behind Kurt in the final 10 laps, but he couldn’t quite get his No. 18 car past Kurt’s No. 1 car. Kurt Busch’s victory was an important one, as it assured him a spot in the 2021 NASCAR playoffs....

Truex has three wins and five top-two finishes in the last six races on road courses. He led coming into the final chicane at last year’s inaugural ROVAL race but crashed out with Jimmie Johnson, allowing Ryan Blaney to get the win. Truex’s shot to sweep this playoff round — and get redemption from last year — could be motivating factors Sunday. The Bank of America ROVAL 400 is the last race in the opening round of the playoffs as the 16-driver field will be trimmed to 12 after Sunday....

The final NASCAR Cup Series race of the regular season was pushed back from 7:46 p.m. ET on Saturday to 10:05 a.m. ET on Sunday because of rain. And with 21 laps to go on Sunday, the race was put in a red flag as the rain came back and put the race on hold. MORE: Starting order, pole for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 Two spots remain open in the NASCAR Cup Series playoff field, and this race will determine who will compete in the Round of 16....

Just as has been the case for the last two years of racing at Phoenix International Raceway’s one-mile flat layout, Stewart Haas Racing has the car to beat, but it’s not Kevin Harvick this time. It’s teammate Kurt Busch, who dominated both of Saturday’s practices. Busch had the best 10-consecutive laps average in the early session and was second-best in the afternoon session behind Kasey Kahne. MORE: Driver-by-driver betting breakdown...

Team Penske, with Joey Logano and pole-sitter Brad Keselowski, start on the front row where the most winners in Pocono history (24 wins in 76 races, 31.5 percent) have started. Logano had the best car last fall, leading 97 laps before running out of fuel. Keselowski was runner-up. Yes, the new low-downforce package discounts what happened last fall, but the duo should find themselves out front for most of the race where passing is extremely difficult....
