Are you entering “male menopause”? You’ve heard the phrase, but is there really such a thing? Like women, men experience a drop in the levels of sex hormones as they age. But in men, the pace of these changes is quite different. In women, levels of the main female sex hormone, estrogen, remain high for most of their adult lives, and then, around the age of 50, plunge over the course of five years....

Neymar, the unquestioned leader of the Brazil forward line, suffered an ankle injury in the latter stages of the 2-0 win over Serbia to start the tournament. He was withdrawn with 10 minutes to go and looked distraught on the sidelines as the game came to a close. While Neymar is expected to return for World Cup action at some point in the near future, the timeline for his recovery is not yet known and he could miss valuable time as the Selecao search for their sixth World Cup title....
The last time these two teams met was in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals, capping off a back-and-forth battle in which Stephen Curry led the Warriors to a series win. Fast forward seven months, and the Warriors are struggling while the Grizzlies are still one of the best in the West. Many of Golden State’s struggles are related to the absence of Curry, who recently went down with a shoulder injury....
NATO members, apparently satisfied with a U.S. intelligence briefing linking the bombings to Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden, say they are ready to join Washington in an armed response. The Pentagon has positioned equipment in the Persian Gulf and Central Asia, and both President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair have warned Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban to hand over bin Laden or face the consequences. Yet military action seems highly unlikely in the coming days, and possibly for a week or longer....
As the late Nelson Mandela said of his victories for truth and reconciliation, “We were expected to destroy one another and ourselves collectively in the worst racial conflagration. Instead, we as a people chose the path of negotiation, compromise and peaceful settlement. Instead of hatred and revenge we chose reconciliation and nation-building.” Employment in a high-profile editorial job at an elite employer like Vogue magazine is a privilege, not a right....
Barnes is suspected of shooting police K-9 Deputy Logan Fox, 25; Sergeant Chris Ward, 36; Michelle Annette Ligon, 61; and George Wyatt Ligon, 58, according to WJHL. Michelle Ligon was Barnes’ mother, and George Ligon was his step-father, according to WTVD. Fox died at the scene. Ward died after being flown to a Tennessee medical center for his injuries. Ward left behind a wife and two children. Police said that they encountered the suspect on Wednesday morning when conducting a home-visit wellness check for the Ligons who hadn’t appeared at work or responded to phone calls....
James thought he had an easy two-handed slam, until Thomas met him at the rim. We all know just how determined and athletic Thomas is, but this block was just gross. (HT: SBNation)
Thomas was ejected in the fourth quarter of Washington’s 125-108 loss to the 76ers on Saturday for entering the stands. Thomas took exception to the antics of one of the fans at Wells Fargo Center after the two-time All-Star followed a missed free throw by making his second. The 76ers have a promotion for which fans are awarded a frozen dessert if an opposing player in Philadelphia misses two free throws in the second half....
Romeo Fernandes was a largely constant fixture in Miguel Angel Portugal’s first XI throughout the season, making 12 appearances. Though the winger did not score any goals for the club, he has two assists to his name. The team have now decided to extend his stay for another year. The 25-year-old was part of FC Goa since the inception of the ISL before being picked up by Delhi in the Indian Player Draft in 2017....
Girik Khosla was a part of the I-League winning Minerva Punjab side last season. The 23-year-old made 12 appearances for the Warriors and contributed a goal. He will now make the step up to the ISL with NorthEast United FC, who finished bottom of the pile last season. Provat Lakra had an impressive spell with Gokulam Kerala FC in the I-League last season and has now opted to move to NorthEast United....
The 31-year-old had been playing for Kolkata-based East Bengal in the recently concluded I-League campaign and will shift bases to Guwahati now. Gurwinder made just the three appearances for Khalid Jamil’s team in the league this season but the Highlanders will bank on his previous ISL experiences. Gurwinder played three seasons of ISL football for Kerala Blasters in the past and was a regular fixture in the inaugural season of the league when the team from Kerala reached the final....
After Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to the previously winless NorthEast United FC, the Spaniard might well be fuming given the ineptness displayed at the back by the home side. While the first goal from Marcinho saw the midfielder bomb inside the box completely unmarked, the second goal was a comical piece of defending. The two incidents were not the only moments of weakness for the Dynamos. There were numerous occasions throughout the 90 minutes that the defence was opened up with ease as NorthEast United’s attackers made the most of individual errors....

Brazilian attacker Marcelinho was involved in all four goals and the former Real Zaragoza boss was all praise for last season’s Golden Boot winner. “Marcelinho played well and scored two goals only because of the team. He is, of course, one of the best players in the league. Last game his performance wasn’t up to the mark but today he was great.” “When you win it’s strategic when you lose it’s not....
Jamshedpur FC had four shots on target against Pune City in their 0-1 defeat at the Tata Sports Complex on Sunday. The winning side, hailed for their attacking impetus ahead of the game, had just one. Adil Khan was at the far post to strike a neat volley into the net from a free-kick taken by Marcelinho in the 30th minute as the Stallions executed their plan B to perfection against a side labelled ‘defensive’....
The new CEO was speaking at the official unveiling of new head coach Rene Meulensteen in front of the media at Hotel Crowne Plaza in Kochi on Tuesday. Assistant coach Thangboi Singto was also present alongside the coach to speak to the media. “We will see what best we can do to improve the stadium experience for the fans. We have made a start at the grassroots level. We have got a couple of development centres opening soon....
The visitors’ goalkeeper TP Rehenesh was sent-off in the first-half in a bid to foil a quick counter-attack by the home side. The red-card decision seemed contentious and the Dutchman said that such things are part and parcel of football. “I haven’t seen it (the red-card incident) back. From where I stood, it was a good break away from us. The keeper was quite erratic. Does it change the game?...
Nobrega, who has played for the likes of Atletico Madrid and Getafe, has been playing second fiddle to star striker Miku, who has already scored 11 goals in the league, and Sunil Chhetri who has nine goals to his credit. The 32-year-old striker has made 10 appearances in the ISL but has only clocked 225 minutes on the pitch. Despite that, Bengaluru FC coach Albert Roca is searching for another striker to take the workload off Miku and Chhetri, given that Bengaluru FC are in the middle of a busy couple of months, given their AFC Cup commitments as well....
