Less than 24 hours after news emerged New York floated shipping the nine-time all-star to the Cavaliers in exchange for Kevin Love, two new teams have sprouted up as potential destinations for the Syracuse product. Citing league sources, the Vertical reported the Knicks have reached out to both the Clippers and Celtics as prospective trade partners in a move, including Anthony. In order for any deal to materialize, Anthony, who inked a 5-year, $124-million extension with Knicks in 2014, would have to wave a no-trade clause in his contract....
The Colts have already been dealt a tough blow at quarterback, with new signal-caller Wentz injuring his foot during Thursday’s Indianapolis training camp practice. Early on, it doesn’t sound too great: Wentz was held out of practice on Friday, with second-year quarterback Jacob Eason taking the starter snaps instead. NFL Network reports that the current hope is that the injury isn’t too bad, but ESPN reports that there’s no current timetable for a return....
But what’s entertaining in a movie or theme park may not suffice for sports fans. Disney, one of the ultimate bottom-line companies, seems unprepared for a business in which the bottom line is winning. And while you can ordain championships in a movie script, in real life they come with a huge price tag. Clever marketing, pretty uniforms and showbiz glitz can’t mask a lack of talent. Moreover, what is routine in today’s pro-sports game-salary disputes, firings, drug problems-has produced a succession of public-relations debacles for image-conscious Disney....

Erin Gallant posted several videos on her TikTok account @reznor_the_cat showing Reznor walking up to closed doors and scratching at them while letting out soft meows. “Training my cat to wake up my kid for school,” read the text over one video that was viewed more than 14 million times. Although Gallant said the video was meant to be a joke, she wrote to Newsweek that Reznor is actually trained to listen and can sit, jump and comes when called....
Clonidine belongs to a class of medications known as centrally acting alpha‑agonists. It is also called an antihypertensive agent. This medication works by stimulating certain receptors called alpha-adrenoreceptors in the brain. This relaxes the blood vessels to allow blood to flow more easily. As a result, it helps to lower blood pressure. What Is Catapres-TTS-3 Used For? The Food and Drug Administration has approved Catapres-TTS-3 for use alone or with other antihypertensive medications to control high blood pressure....
Location Previously, cataract surgery required patients to spend several days in the hospital. Now, this procedure takes place in an outpatient setting requiring a relatively quick recovery. Barring unforeseen complications, you’ll go home the same day. The treatment is mostly performed using local anesthesia—so you’re not put to “sleep." Most cataract surgery cases are done in outpatient surgery centers. As healthcare tries to find new innovative ways to streamline healthcare delivery, some practice settings are starting to offer cataract surgery in office-based procedure rooms....
For the most part, cataracts evolve over a long period of time—so slowly that you may not even notice your vision changing at first. Age-related cataracts tend to be seen in those over age 55. By ages 75 to 85, around half of people will have vision issues due to cataracts. But cataracts can occur at any age, even in young infants, due to congenital conditions, medications, or trauma. Here’s what to know about what brings on cataracts and what may put you at greater risk for developing the condition....
But I no longer idolize the Hulk Hogans and Vin Diesels of the world. No, my role model has become a 17-year-old high-school girl named Cleopatra. See, after dealing with a half dozen or so minor arrests, numerous death threats at the strip joint, a felony trial and worsening drug, alcohol and gambling issues, I decided it was time to go back to school. And that’s where Cleo comes in....
It was as if chapters of a new self-help group–call it Bouncers Anonymous–suddenly sprang up across the political map last week. With the awful dimensions of Capitol Hill’s check scandal emerging leak by leak, detail by gory detail, members of Congress indulged in an orgy of self-confession. The California Republican who last fall declared that “nobody has ever had a Duncan Hunter check returned for insufficient funds” found himself admitting to 407 overdrafts totaling $129,225....

Your treatment may include vasopressor drugs to help raise blood pressure, intravenous fluids to aid in rehydration, and diuretics to increase urine output. Hemodialysis may be used to help filter the blood while the kidneys are healing. The course of treatment is directed by the underlying cause, which is broadly classified into one of three groups: Prerenal ARF, in which the blood flow to the kidneys is impededIntrinsic ARF, in which the kidneys themselves are impairedPostrenal ARF, in which the flow of urine out of the body is obstructed...
One theory is that cluster headaches originate from the hypothalamus – the regulator of a person’s sleep and circadian rhythm. Let’s explore this theory a bit more. Why Are Cluster Headaches Called Alarm Clock Headaches? Cluster attacks tend to start at night, about one to two hours after a person has fallen asleep. They also typically occur at the same time every day or every night, and they usually recur at the same time of year....
Now they face Game 2 against the Warriors. Coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET, and the Cavs have work to do. Despite a 12-2 postseason record, the Cavaliers went into Thursday with plenty to prove, to themselves, to those who believed they were dominating in a much easier weight class in the East, and especially to Warriors. Their dominance in the East meant little. The Warriors beat them three consecutive times after falling behind 2-1 to win the title last season, and then defeated them twice during the regular season, including a 34-point beating in Cleveland back in January....
