Over the course of Cleveland’s long slog of a loss, 96-83, to the Celtics, James just couldn’t summon that transcendency. His well of legendary performances for his hometown team could well be running dry, and by the time he sat at the podium for his postgame interview here, it was easy to imagine that we’re heading into the final weekend of the second act of LeBron James, Cleveland Cavalier....
Those in the Bay Area didn’t approve. MORE: Cavs fans can’t spell Dellavedova | Bogut takes benching like a champ | Must-see NBA Finals photos First, Gilbert tweeted out a list made by Sports Nation Ohio of Golden State’s top “performers” in the Finals. As a follow up, Gilbert decided to give credit to Cavs fans for all of their support this season. It doesn’t take much thinking to come up with a counter argument to that statement....
The big man, the one who started off as a "skinny kid from Lithuania" and overcame injuries that would have stopped others, grappled with his emotions as he said thanks to the fans who adopted him as their own. "Thanks for giving me a place I can proudly call home," he said. Cleveland roared back. At 7-foot-3, Ilgauskas towered over everyone yet stayed completely down to earth. Soft-spoken and doggedly determined, Ilgauskas, who overcame injuries and personal tragedy to become one of Cleveland's best and most beloved players, had his No....
The pair of photos appear to show Cawthorn wearing women’s underwear at a party, and have garnered both mockery and criticism, with some accusing him of hypocrisy because of his often-expressed conservative Christian views. The Republican, who represents North Carolina’s 11th district and is the youngest member of Congress at 26-years-old, took to Twitter on Friday and seemed to laugh off the pictures. “I guess the left thinks goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise (taken waaay before I ran for Congress) is going to somehow hurt me?...
The Post reported Thursday that advertisements from neither company would run on WCBS-TV, which carried the local broadcast of the game for the New York City market. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Tuesday ordered DraftKings and FanDuel to cease accepting contest entries from within the state, as they are considered to be in violation of New York gambling laws.

The scene was the 18th hole where Sergio Garcia had just dropped a birdie putt to win his sudden death playoff against Justin Rose. A camera operator captured both Garcia and fiancee Angela Akins behind him on a hillock beyond the green. As the putt dropped — and the Spaniard won his first major championship on his 71st attempt — we saw both Garcia and Akins fall to their knees as if in prayer....
Sabathia woke up Thursday with the problem, a day after making his second rehabilitation start. Manager Joe Girardi said Sabathia was sent for an MRI and the organization was conferring with doctors about the next step. The Yankees were aiming for his return soon after the All-Star break. “It’s not what you want, but you’ve got to deal with it,” Girardi said. “We were hopeful that the swelling would stay away and he would be in our rotation very soon, but it doesn’t appear that’s going to be....
Researchers assessed the data from March 2020 to September 2021 where 8,154 stillbirths were documented. They found that the risk of stillbirth was significantly higher when the Delta variant became the predominant strain in the U.S. than in the pre-Delta period. From March 2020 to June 2021, 0.98% of COVID-19-affected deliveries resulted in stillbirth, compared to 0.64% of deliveries without COVID-19. Meanwhile, from July to September 2021, the rate of stillbirth was 2....
Three deaths in Indiana, Minnesota and California were verified by the CDC Friday—after the first and second vaping-related deaths in Oregon and Illinois at the end of August. Experts at the CDC went on to say that there are currently 450 reported cases of severe respiratory illnesses among vape users in 33 states across the U.S. Most were between the ages of 18 and 25. “While the investigation is ongoing, the CDC has advised that individuals consider not using e-cigarettes because as of now, this is the primary means of preventing lung disease,” CDC incident manager Dana Meaney-Delman said Friday in a statement to the press....
The 26-year-old put the hosts in front in the 48th minute. Samuel Castillejo found the striker on the right and he held off his marker before unleashing an unstoppable effort into the roof of the net. Mario Gaspar made it two with a clever finish that beat Leandro Chichizola at his near post in the 65th minute before Ximo Navarro scored an own goal two minutes later to make it three to the Yellow Submarine....
The yoga instructor allegedly fakes a Spanish accent, even though the Boston native was born and raised in Massachusetts. Hilaria Baldwin previously said she was born on Majorca in Spain and was raised there, which she has said explained her European accent. But she’s not the only famous face to be called out for allegedly not using their authentic way of speaking. Everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Madonna have come under fire for their “fake accents....
Some of those rich people, though, also were famous: movie-star famous, TV-star famous, fashion-world famous, all of the varieties of fame that functioned to push this toward the lead of the network news and the cover of People magazine. This was doubly a shame. Because at the core of everything that happened, beyond the scheming admissions counselor and the megalomaniacal parents, there are the coaches who agreed to sell out their sports for money....
Phone companies and service providers are scrambling to block mobile malware. Jan Volzke, an executive at McAfee, says some mobile-phone companies now implant virus protection directly in handsets–but adds that the vast majority of users remain vulnerable. Some 30 million devices are protected, he says, but there are 2.6 billion mobile subscribers worldwide. No stand-alone antivirus software is currently available to consumers. Experts say the most important protection may be caution–not opening odd-looking text messages, for starters....
Celtic have already sealed the League Cup and are edging closer to winning the Premiership as they sit 13 points ahead of Rangers and Aberdeen, who lost to Motherwell in Saturday’s semi. Graeme Murty’s team gave Celtic a good fight when they met in the league last month but lost 3-2 and have not beaten their city rivals in over six years, but will be desperate to make sure they have something to fight for until the end of the campaign....

One game after losing to the Thunder by 33 points without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Boston has gotten back on track with a win to snap the Mavericks’ seven-game win streak. The Celtics used a team effort in this contest, as six different players scored double figures. Superstar forward Jayson Tatum led the way with his second-career triple-double, going for 29 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. Boston did a great job containing the lethal Luka Doncic, holding him to 23 points and a season-low three assists....
The 49-year-old, alongside his co-host, Ana Kasparian, also endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders for president on their show, praising his approach to “completely and utterly challenge the system,” reports The Washington Times. Uygur also said the Sanders’ strategy will be quicker and more effective in passing major, progressive legislation. “I think the right tack is revolution, not reform. And by revolution, I mean a political revolution, obviously,” Uygur explained. “I don’t want to negotiate with this current system....
The Census Bureau this year decided to forgo using the terms minority and majority. The Bureau said the words limit the ability “to illustrate the complex racial and ethnic diversity of the U.S. population.” Diversity in communities will instead be shown through an index, a map and a score as part of new measures to accurately reflect racial and ethnic diversity across the country. The new data from the bureau reflecting the changes is due for release on Thursday....
Organic farms are still sprouts in a forest of industrial giants. They provide less than 2 percent of the nation’s food supply and take up less than 1 percent of its cropland. But they’re flourishing as never before. Over the past decade the market for organic food has grown by 15 to 20 percent every year–five times faster than food sales in general. Nearly 40 percent of U.S. consumers now reach occasionally for something labeled organic, and sales are expected to top $11 billion this year....
What Is Cervical Cryosurgery? In cervical cryotherapy, a cryoprobe—a long, slim surgical device with a pointed tip that produces a very cold temperature—is applied to a limited area of inner cervical lining. In response, the targeted tissue freezes and decomposes. This does not require an incision. Rather, the probe is inserted into the vagina until it reaches the cervix (a.k.a., the birth canal, which is located just before the uterus). The cold is usually generated with liquid nitrogen or compressed argon gas, which gets pumped through the probe once it is in position....
