First the Zags, then UK, then Villanova and Alabama to open the PK80 Invitational and two more high-level games to complete that tournament. Followed by Notre Dame. And then two Big Ten Conference games, for good measure. Izzo didn’t set up those league games himself, but he knew they were coming. He booked all these other games, at least five against teams that appeared in the 2022 NCAA Tournament and possibly two more in that stretch, regardless....

MORE: Big Ten TV schedule for Week 5 “Mylan loved the black Spartan gear,” Dantonio said during a news conference Tuesday. “Also, we’ll honor him with the number six on the back of the helmet this weekend and also we’ll wear black socks, black shoes, as well.” Hicks, 23, was shot to death early Sunday morning outside a nightclub in Calgary, Alberta. He was on the practice squad of the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders but had yet to play a game this season....

Both teams started at a snail’s pace, combining to hit just five of their first 23 shots. It took nearly 12 minutes for the first 3 of the night to be made by Texas Tech, but once the Red Raiders did finally hit from distance, their offense began to find its rhythm. Texas Tech went on a 16-2 run from the end of the first half through the beginning of the second half to pull away from the 2-seed Wolverines and build a lead that would prove too much for an anemic Michigan shooting performance....

The group most often diagnosed with collagenous colitis are people in their 50s. The condition tends to affect more women than men. The average age of onset for lymphocytic colitis is for people in their 60s, and women seem to be affected slightly more often than men in this case, as well. Microscopic colitis has not been extensively researched, so it’s still unknown as to how common it might be....

OK, we made that diary entry up. But here’s the point: like an increasing number of other high-tech companies, software giant Microsoft is moving beyond the concept of “usability engineers,” the researchers who typically sit in cloistered labs behind one-way mirrors watching consumers grapple with new software. Today, Microsoft has a small team of real, trained anthropologists who visit the homes of regular people and study them at their computers, just as they would an indigenous tribe in the Australian outback....

He needs to serve as the visitor for one guarantee game each year — a college scheduling arrangement in which the opponent does not demand a home game in return — to fund each charter flight he wants the Grizzlies to make. With Oakland in its second year in the Horizon League, there is far less need for this than when the team played in the Summit League. The Dec....

Fractures of the humerus are divided into three types: Proximal humerus fractures of the shoulder Distal humerus fractures of the elbow Mid-shaft humerus fractures Mid-Shaft Humerus Fractures A mid-shaft humerus fracture represents about 3% of all broken bones. It typically doesn’t involve the shoulder or elbow joints. The most common cause of a humeral shaft fracture is a fall, but high-energy injuries (motor vehicle collisions, sports injuries) and penetrating trauma (gunshot wounds) also can cause this injury....

Scientists discovered the fossil of the braincase of a Shuyu fish. Despite its skull only being the size of a fingernail they were able to recreate seven virtual casts of the brain. They also unearthed the first 419 million-year-old armored galeaspid fossil completely preserved with gill filaments. The team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found the spiracle, slits behind the eyes leading to the mouth which allows some species to breathe....

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook lists Alvarez as a -360 favorite with Khan at +300. Alvarez opened at -300 when the fight was announced earlier this week. Alvarez is 46-1-1 in his career, winning 32 bouts by knockout. His only loss came to Floyd Mayweather in September of 2013. He won the WBC middleweight title in November of 2015 against Miguel Cotto by unanimous decision. Khan is 31-3 and has won his last five fights, the last in May of 2015....

You’re right to see your practitioner, but do be prepared to possibly find out that your sinuses aren’t to blame for your headaches. There’s a very good chance you’re having migraines rather than head pain caused by an infection (sinusitis) or by seasonal allergies, all of which share a constellation of similar symptoms. And if that’s the case, you’re in good company: Nearly 90 percent of people who believe they have sinus headaches, whether they diagnose themselves or are diagnosed by a healthcare provider, actually have migraines, studies have shown....

Chronic migraines can mimic several other conditions, such as tension headaches, medication rebound headaches, Meniere’s disease, and trigeminal neuralgia. Like migraines, these conditions are not associated with abnormalities on diagnostic tests. Migraines require a different treatment approach than these other conditions, which makes accurate diagnosis important. Certainly, if you have any headache warning signs or if there is a concern that you could have a serious neurological illness, such as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or multiple sclerosis (MS), your healthcare provider will need to rule out these conditions using diagnostic tools such as physical examination and imaging tests....

They filled out a questionnaire on their medical history, including whether they had migraines. After five years, the researchers checked on the participants, and noted whether they had developed dementia. The sample was mostly made up of women, at 61.9 percent, with an average age of 75 years old. Of the total, 7.5 percent of the participants developed dementia: a group of conditions with related symptoms including memory loss, of which Alzheimer’s is the most common....

Evans’ injury came as he was targeted in the end zone. He ran a slant route and broke open. Tom Brady’s pass was a bit behind Evans, who was forced to attempt to plant his left foot. His cleat didn’t stick, though, and the way it skidded caused Evans’ left knee to bend inward. After the game, Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians told reporters, “Knock on wood, we don’t think there’s any serious damage....

Underwood’s publicist also confirmed to the AP that she’s expecting. Fisher and Underwood were married in 2010.

That is Smart going 1-on-3 to the tin, rising up for the two-hand flush and the one-hand backboard slap. The play earned Smart a technical foul, critical because it saddled the Cowboys' point guard with four fouls. Smart, who had 15 points to that point of the second half, did not score another point in the final 13 minutes. Oklahoma State ended up losing the game, 74-71 in Manhattan. Meanwhile, Cowboys freshman guard Stevie Clark, the team's second-leading scorer off the bench, did not play after being arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession on New Year's Day....

Appearing last week on the TV program America This Week with host Eric Bolling, Williamson was captured at the end of an interview with cameras still recording as stating: “What does it say that Fox News is nicer to me than the lefties are? What does it say that the conservatives are nicer to me? It’s such a bizarre world. I’m such a leftie. I’m a serious leftie. I understand why people on the right call them godless....

The Science of Marijuana There are over 100 types of chemicals called cannabinoids present in marijuana. The receptors for these chemicals are found throughout the central nervous system, affecting the function of the brain. Two cannabinoids are found in the largest amounts: delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These may have differing effects on sleep and mood. There are two commonly used species of plants within the genus cannabis: indica and sativa....

On Saturday, Chicago police announced they had charged Marion Lewis, 18, with the murder of seven-year-old Jaslyn Adams, who died after she was shot dead at a West Side McDonald’s drive-thru. Jaslyn and her father were both shot outside the fast-food restaurant on April 18. Tragically Jaslyn died of her injuries, while her dad, Jontae Adams, was taken to Stroger Hospital after he was shot in the torso. He has since been discharged from the hospital....

The 26-year-old British actress was spotted out on the streets of London on Monday dressed as Winehouse while shooting scenes for Back to Black. The biopic caused a stir online when fans seemed unimpressed with the behind the scenes shots. Abela has been cast in the lead role after starring in HBO series Industry and a handful of British movies. She’s not known widely to audiences yet, but with starring roles in Back to Black and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie under her belt, her star is set to rise....

Greene allegedly filed two active homestead exemptions in her 2020 Georgia state tax documents, according to WSB-TV. A homestead exemption provides a large tax break for state residents, usually granting a $2,000 exemption from most county and school taxes. The Fulton County Board of Assessors has said state residents are only legally allowed to claim one residential address for a homestead exemption. Greene and her husband allegedly filed for two exemptions by listing two different residences in two different counties....
