Utah hosts Atlanta Tuesday night as 1.5-point home favorites, with the total set at 192. The line opened up with the Jazz slightly favored and hasn’t moved either direction at the time of publication. The total has moved up 1 point since it opened at 191. While Vegas has the total set at 192, AccuScore sims have it at 185, making the UNDER a nice wagering opportunity. The total combined score goes UNDER 192 in nearly 61 percent of simulations, a four-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend....

While the move is relatively minor, Daye could be used to shore up Atlanta’s depth while reserve forward Mike Scott recovers from a broken toe. Scott’s injury is expected to sideline him for 4-6 weeks.

Pep sets unwanted career record Hazard, who distanced himself from comparisons to Barcelona’s star artist Lionel Messi earlier this week, has been in the same majestic form this season as he was when Chelsea won the league in 2014/15. The Belgian’s brace in the 2-1 home victory over City puts him on course to beat his 19-goal haul from two seasons ago and it is Hazard, rather than Diego Costa, who is leading his side’s charge to become champions in the final weeks of the season....

Moselle directed the 2018 teen drama, Skate Kitchen, which followed the lonely and brooding Camille (Rachelle Vinberg), as she joined a gang of female skateboarders. After separating herself from her mother, Camille unexpectedly started bonding with her skater crew. That same year, the indie film made its premiere at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. On May 1, viewers get to watch the pilot of Betty, which is a spinoff of Skate Kitchen....

Viewers of the HBO documentary The Princess, which aired on August 13, weeks before the 25th anniversary of Diana’s death at the age of 36 in a Paris car crash, took to social media to highlight the parallels. “Watching The Princess on HBO I can see why Harry wanted to protect Meghan so fiercely. The paparazzi were ravenous and she never knew a moment’s peace,” wrote one user. “Just watch The Princess on @hbo....

The Gabon international started the Bundesliga clash at Signal Iduna Park despite continued speculation over a possible €60 million move to Arsenal. Aubameyang produced a listless performance, though, managing just one shot, one key pass and one touch in the Freiburg penalty area throughout the 90 minutes, while he only completed 14 passes in total. Stoger conceded it was a disappointing display from the 28-year-old but was unhappy with the amount of service he received from the rest of the team....

When Perot’s people contacted me, I too was frustrated with the political system. I had been around polities and campaigns for 30 years, and I saw a system that wasn’t working. My frustration peaked when President Bush didn’t come up with an agenda after the Los Angeles riots. I though the had a tremendous opportunity to talk to the country about significant problems. I saw in Perot’s candidacy an opportunity to really make a change....

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 24, told the podcast Voices of the West in September that she almost didn’t take the job as lead gun handler because she wasn’t sure if she was “ready,” according to the New York Post. “You know, I was really nervous about it at first, and I almost didn’t take the job because I wasn’t sure if I was ready … but, doing it, like, it went really smoothly,” Gutierrez-Reed said at the time....

The remains of the ancient animal are located in Mammoth Cave National Park, which is home to the longest known cave system on Earth—one that extends for more than 400 miles, according to the National Park Service. The shark fossil—dated to around 330 million years ago—was first spotted alongside several others by Rick Olson and Rick Toomey, two Mammoth Cave experts who were conducting investigations of the area, the Louisville Courier Journal reported....

The home-test kits approved by the Food and Drug Administration should be just as accurate as a laboratory. But it’s easy to throw off the tests if you don’t follow the directions exactly–squeezing the blood out of your finger can alter results, for example, because only a fraction of whole blood comes through the skin. And even when the reading is accurate, it may not be very useful. Kits like CholesTrak, Home Access Instant Cholesterol Test or First Check Home Cholesterol Test measure only total cholesterol....

How could any parent refuse the offer of biological insurance? It turns out that the issue is more complicated than the industry’s marketing machine would have you believe. And, as with all insurance, you should carefully assess your risks first, because the cost is considerable. There are more than 125,000 units of cord blood stored at private and public banks in the United States. So far, there have been only 2,500 cord-blood transplants worldwide–and it’s still considered a risky and experimental procedure....

Now two research groups have published new “cancer atlases.” The American Cancer Society’s global report showed graphically that while the “risk of getting cancer is higher in the developed world … cancers in the developing world are more fatal.” Experts think higher incidence rates in rich countries spring partly from lifestyle choices, like physical inactivity, unhealthy diets and more-prolonged tobacco use. On the microlevel, the Ohio-based Cancer Prevention Institute’s atlas showed that breast cancer in that state occurs more frequently in white women but is more fatal for black women, probably due in part to poorer access to health care....

Light can heal. The ancient Greeks knew that. They put sick patients in the sun to aid the curative process. But modern technology has dramatically increased the possibilities, giving us lasers and light activated drugs. Therapeutic LEDs, the latest addition to the list, use light to penetrate deep into tissues and boost the body’s own natural healing processes. Studies are showing that these new devices can help ease chronic pain, speed wound healing and prevent acute mouth ulcers in certain cancer patients....

That’s exactly the message the $5 billion-a-year indoor-tanning industry is hoping every parent gets, as it launches its national “It’s time to rethink sun bathing” campaign. Buoyed by research that links low levels of vitamin D (which the skin naturally makes when exposed without sunscreen to ultraviolet rays from the sun) to higher risks of cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disorders, the Indoor Tanning Association (ITA) sees an opportunity to recast the public’s view of tanning....

Americans may have turned their attention to other matters over the past few months, but Thompson has been focused on shoring up the nation’s public-health system. On Friday, he will present Congress with plans for spending the extra $2.63 billion in emergency bioterrorism funds that lawmakers set aside late last year-that’s an amount more than 10 times what Congress spent in 2001. Thompson not only sees the new spending as a way to protect the country against bioterror but also as a chance to bolster the public-health system to fight other problems like natural-disease outbreaks....

Medical costs have risen everywhere in recent decades, but they’ve exploded in the United States. While most industrialized countries spend between 6 percent and 10 percent of gross domestic product on health care, the United States spends 13 percent. Our annual medical bills total about $4,600 per person–more than twice the median figure for 30 industrialized nations. The amount we spend privately on insurance premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses ($2,580) is five times the median....

Every year about this time you read about the dangers of extensive sun exposure and the need for sunblock. But did you know that acne or antiwrinkle cream, even allergy medications and antidepressants, may make you especially sensitive to the sun’s harmful rays? Photosensitivity, a condition in which the skin becomes more susceptible to the sun’s adverse affects, can be brought on by certain medications, according to New York City dermatologist Dr....

Not to be confused with lifespan (the maximum amount of years a species can live—currently over 120 for humans) or life expectancy (the average length of life for a population), HALE takes into account years lived in less-than-full health due to disease or injury. History HALE combines mortality and morbidity data of a country or region to estimate the expected years of life in good health for the average person in that area....
