RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will deliver a ruling on Jamaican discus thrower Jason Morgan’s appeal against his omission from the country’s Olympic team based on written submissions instead of through a hearing. Sport’s highest court did not reveal when the ruling, to be made by a three-member CAS panel, would be disclosed, however. Correspondence between CAS and Morgan’s lawyer Dr Emir Crowne, a copy of which has been seen by Reuters, indicated that while the sport’s governing body (IAAF) submitted a letter, the responded (Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association) did not file a reply....

The Liga champions’ title defence in Spain suffered a further blow on Saturday when they were held to a 2-2 draw away at lowly Levante, Giampaolo Pazzini marking his debut for the hosts with a dramatic late equaliser. Unlikely to make up a massive 18-point gap on runaway leaders Barcelona in the league and already out of the Copa del Rey after a shock defeat to Leganes, Zinedine Zidane’s side will see Europe as their best chance to claim silverware this season to add to August’s Supercopa de Espana title....

Billionaire Warren Buffett and Capital Cities/ABC chairman Thomas Murphy, two of our guys, made the Disney-Cap Cities sale happen.

Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate is Cap Cities’ biggest stockholder; Murphy and the now retired Dan Burke built Cap Cities from a one-station operation into a huge company....

What Are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are made up of groups of molecules, known as saccharides. These saccharides contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in different combinations. There are two main classes of carbohydrates: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates have one or two saccharides (mono- and di-saccharides, respectively) linked together. They are primarily the sugars, found in fruit, honey, milk (as lactose) and commercial sweeteners. Complex carbohydrates contain many saccharides (polysaccharides) and are known as the starches and fibers found in vegetables, grains, and legumes....

This article will explore how carcinoid syndrome develops, who is at risk, and what can be done to treat it. Types of Carcinoid Syndrome Carcinoid syndrome is a term used to describe the symptoms that arise when a carcinoid tumor triggers the release of too much serotonin and other chemicals into your bloodstream.

Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones is now officially recognized by his awesome nickname “12 Gauge.” Ohio House of Representatives member Bill Patmon sent the third-sting quarterback a letter to commend the great job he did this past season. That’s a lot of praise for a man who may not even start this upcoming season due to heavy competition at the position. In the letter, Jones is saluted as one of Ohio’s finest athletes....

After locking up their 11th win of the season Thursday against the Rams, the Cardinals are in first place in the NFC West and likely will have clinched a playoff spot by the end of the weekend. But with Drew Stanton starting at QB (until he was injured during the game), the Cards still have had to deal with their fair share of doubters.

Three-time All-Star Carpenter went five for five with three home runs, two doubles, seven RBI and amassed 16 total bases on Friday. That in and of itself is amazing, but it is not actually the incredible part. Carpenter did all of that in just six innings as St Louis led Chicago 15-1 after the top of that inning. According to MLB, Carpenter is the first player in the history of the game to amass five extra-base hits in the first six innings of a game....

The Giants are coming off a game to forget, losing 35-14 at Detroit as 6.5-point dogs. They’ve been a home dog just twice since December 2011, both coming last year in bad losses to Denver (41-23) and Seattle (23-0). Arizona won at home versus the Chargers, 18-17, but failed to cover as 3-point favorites. The Cards scored two unanswered TDs in the fourth quarter to get the victory. The Line: Arizona -2, Total: 43...

Lloyd, 37, opened up about her diminished role on the team and how it ended up marring not just her life on the field but off it, too. “I’m not going to lie and sugarcoat it,” Lloyd said on ESPN’s “Laughter Permitted with Julie Foudy” podcast. “It was absolutely the worst time of my life. It affected my relationship with my husband, with friends. It really was rock bottom of my entire career....

It was announced earlier in the day that four-time world champion Vettel would be leaving the Italian team at the end of the delayed 2020 campaign. That sparked speculation regarding a host of drivers, including six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who has frequently been linked with Ferrari. However, with Charles Leclerc having already done enough to suggest he can be Ferrari’s number one driver, a superstar substitute for Vettel always looked unlikely....

Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include finger and wrist pain, numbness, and tingling that can eventually progress to weakness and loss of fine motor movement. It is the most common peripheral neuropathy often seen in people who work on computers for extended periods of time or perform repetitive hand movements as part of their job duties such as construction and factory work. While the clinical practice guidelines for managing carpal tunnel syndrome from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons do not directly support evidence for or against massage techniques for treating carpal tunnel syndrome, emerging evidence suggests beneficial outcomes of using massage and other related techniques for improving symptoms of the condition....

Club captain Carrick, 36, has not featured for Jose Mourinho’s side since undergoing treatment for an irregular heart rhythm, which was first detected in September. Valencia, who has worn the armband for most of the season in Carrick’s absence, has missed United’s last six matches in all competitions due to a hamstring problem. Both players took part in United’s most recent session in Dubai, where they are spending time before returning for next Monday’s Premier League clash with Stoke City....

Manchester United were humiliated in a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal last night. A defeat like that is often compensated with a big signing but in United’s case, even that is looking unlikely. Midfield remains the key area of trouble for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he looks ahead to the second half of an already troubled season. We look at the top Manchester United transfer news headlines today. Eriksen available for just €20million Manchester United are put on alert as Tottenham Hotspur are willing to sell Christian Eriksen for as little as €20million in the January transfer window, reports Calciomercato....

The Eagles quarterback was mic’d up during Elliott’s 61-yard game-winning kick over the Giants on Sunday — and said something he probably now regrets. “I’ll freaking give him my paycheck,” Wentz says. “I’ll give him my game check.” MORE: Bucs’ Gerald McCoy offers to meet with angry fans “He’s made that a bunch of times in practice,” Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill said to Wentz.
