Game 6 Line: Atlanta -2 Total: 197 Series Lead: Atlanta 3-2 The home team has won every game this series, covering the spread the last four. The UNDER is 4-1. The Celtics (50-37 SU, 44-41-2 ATS) were hoping to be coming back to Boston up 3-2, but laid another egg in Atlanta on Tuesday night (110-83 as 7.5-point dogs). Injury was added to insult when point guard Isaiah Thomas sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of reach....

The Rev. Markel Hutchins announced Wednesday’s meeting was called off “at the last minute.” He later said he received a call from Hawks spokesman Garin Narain on Tuesday night asking that it be postponed. Hutchins said he needed to hear that request directly from Koonin. Hutchins and other civil rights leaders asked for the meeting to discuss what he describes as the Hawks’ “disrespect for people of color.” The request followed racially charged comments by Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson and general manager Danny Ferry....

NEWSWEEK: Let’s cut to good stuff: who gets bumped off in the new season? CHASE: I can’t tell you that, though Junior runs into health problems. I can say that Meadow winds up going to Columbia. Anthony Jr. is now 15, a freshman in high school, and he’s not the gullible little boy he was, not quite so easy to order around. To a certain extent, I think the season focuses on Tony and Carmela as parents, a little bit more of the impact of their lifestyle on their kids....

Guardiola’s Manchester City are on track to win the Premier League and face Wenger’s men in the Carabao Cup final Sunday. The Spaniard has enjoyed plenty of success with the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich during his coaching career, including winning two Champions League titles. However, asked if Guardiola had raised the bar, Wenger played down the 47-year-old’s impact. “No, because you look at Barcelona and they are still the best team in Europe,” he told UK newspapers....

Lopez’s defection is surely one of the oddest job hops in corporate annals. But the story made headlines for another, more important reason. Lopez was a top spear carrier in a revolution just begun that is rudely shattering GM’s bureaucratic traditions. Many suppliers and some GM insiders were as anxious to see Lopez go as management was to keep him. The question now: will the revolution roll on without him?...

The poor guy was doomed for heartthrob roles as soon as he left London for Los Angeles. Chaplin, 28, feels sorely out of place in L.A. At his first industry party, he showed up with a six-pack in a brown bag, saw the bar–and hid. Now he hardly goes out. ““L.A.’s not an easy place to make friends. Socializing is all in people’s houses,’’ he says. ““And people don’t admit to living there....

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis are both destined for the Hall of Fame.

By understanding the biology behind your headaches (at least what experts know so far), you can hopefully tease out what parts of your head pain you can perhaps control (like various environmental triggers), and which ones you cannot (like your genetic makeup). Common Causes Headaches are unpleasant experiences, so treating them promptly is key. But in order to effectively treat your headaches, you must understand them. The vast majority of headaches fall into three categories:...

Busy career women will welcome the Donna and similar devices like the TCI Ovulation Tester, which gained FDA approval in January. (The Donna, now available at thedonna.com, is the original, sold abroad since 1993.) The new saliva tests can indicate ovulation as many as four days in advance and can be used at several different times during the day. And, as the FDA has noted, they’re a lot less messy....

The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified an existing problem, one of inadequate training and efforts to ensure physicians and nurses know how to minimize trauma for their patients’ loved ones through empathy and compassion. If I had received the empathy, compassion and proper communications from physicians and nurses during her stay, I might be contending simply with common grief patterns. Instead, I have been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic grief and post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F)....

Women, in particular, suffer from incontinence–they are two times more likely than men to experience the condition. Recent data shows that one in three women over the age of 18 suffers from incontinence–that’s some 200 million women worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Why are women affected at such a disproportionate rate? Pregnancy and childbirth, menopause and the anatomical structure of the female urinary tract all account for the difference....

What Poses Risk to Your Cardiovascular Health There are several reasons for the association between thyroid cancer and CV disease. Thyroid cancer can produce several physical effects, some of which directly contribute to the development of cardiovascular issues. Several of the therapeutic methods used to treat thyroid cancer also contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. Levothyroxine Suppression After surgical removal of the thyroid gland and, in some cases, after treatment with radioactive iodine, you may be given a prescription for a high dose of levothyroxine....

Obesity increases morbidity and mortality in the Black community and its related complications are major drivers of rising healthcare costs, diminished health-related quality of life, and the recent decline in U.S. life expectancy, with the greatest effect seen in Black communities. Clinical obesity has been directly linked to cardiovascular disease because it increases your risk of dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep disorders. All of these conditions alone are major independent risk factors for heart disease which can lead to heart attack, amputation, and stroke....

The results of the stent study were probably the most unexpected—one doctor at the meeting told reporters he was “incredulous” upon seeing them. But they’re real, and they fit into a growing body of research suggesting that the tiny metal tubes aren’t the cure-all they were touted to be when they hit the market 13 years ago. In the study, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, some patients with chronic coronary artery disease were treated with stents as well as a cocktail of drugs that affect the arteries, including cholesterol-lowering statins....
