    Globe and Mail UK; Lewis Hamilton overcame a late scare to win the Belgian Grand Prix and regain the overall lead of the Formula One championship Sunday.

    Hamilton ran off the track with nine laps to race but recovered to keep the lead and edge second-place Mark Webber of Red Bull.

    "I locked my wheel and went wide," Hamilton said. "I just clipped (the wall). But I was able to get away with it."

    Webber dropped to second in the overall standings after failing to defend his pole position with a clutch problem giving him a poor start off the line.

    Jenson Button’s championship hopes took a hit after the defending F1 champion was knocked out of the race when Sebastian Vettelcrashed into him during a failed overtaking maneuver. READ MORE

    Mirror UK: A woman has been arrested after allegedly trying to smuggle a live tiger cub on to a plane inside a bag of stuffed animals.

    The cub, about three months old, had been drugged and put in the oversized bag packed with stuffed tigers.

    Customs officials at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport raised the alarm after an X-ray of the bag revealed a live animal inside.

    The woman, identified as Piyawan Palasarn, 31, had been due to fly to Iran, where tiger cubs fetch more than £2,000 on the black market. Palasarn, who faces up to four years’ jail, denied the bag was hers and claimed another passenger had asked her to carry it into the plane. READ MORE

    Daily Mail UK: Breast cancer scientists are developing a test to tell patients quickly whether the most commonly used chemotherapy drug will benefit them.

    It could identify tens of thousands of women who will only suffer debilitating side effects from using anthracycline chemotherapy, rather than beat the disease.

    The treatment is used for many of the 46,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year.

    But it only helps around one in four users.

    However, the patients who do not benefit only find out they are unsuited to the treatment after a three-month course. READ MORE

    Guardian UK; The Ryder Cup rumour mill continued to churn today at Gleneagles, dominating proceedings at the Johnny Walker Championship and dragging even the most assiduous of golf diplomats into an increasingly divisive argument over the identity of Colin Montgomerie’s wild-card picks.

    Europe’s captain will announce his team on Sunday after the conclusion of this event, but if that will end speculation it will not finish the debate– not among the rank and file of the European tour who have travelled to Scotland and, apparently, not among the four men whose job it will be to win back the Ryder Cup in Wales.

    Businessweek: Doctors who are atheist or agnostic are almost twice as likely as their religious counterparts to make medical choices that can end a terminally ill patient’s life more quickly, a new British study reveals.

    "The religious beliefs of British doctors influence how they provide care for dying people," concludes study author Clive Seale, a professor of medical sociology at the Centre for Health Sciences in Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London.

    TechCrunch: When a service such as Facebook limits users’ creative freedom, it is inevitable that other add-on services will overcome this limitation. This is why then, we see more and more Facebook tab apps that give us more control and freedom when it comes to customizing a fan page or a personal profile.

    I can’t really understand why Facebook doesn’t create an editor that lets users create a super fan page. I can only guess they don’t want to deal with it and prefer their uniform design, which may be boring but at least it is consistent and familiar. Instead, Facebook lets other people get creative and offer an array of Facebook related apps built on the API. In any case, you must know this by now: A personalized page can drive more attention and probably, more traffic to your brand. [REACD MORE->http://tcrn.ch/aj63a9]
