Healthcare providers hear this question a lot, especially from parents. They may report that their children sometimes bump their noses or fall down and get nosebleeds. While this can be distressing, at least these parents know the cause. More concerning are nosebleeds that seem to happen without a cause. Sometimes children will wake up in the morning with blood on their pillows or dried blood around their nose or face....

KTLA reporter Gene Kang was discussing how the area of Hoover and 84th streets has seen an increase of motor vehicle collisions since the beginning of the pandemic when the crash occurred.

It couldn’t have been a better start, as Carli Lloyd scored just 24 seconds in and Lindsey Horan’s goal from the spot six minutes later meant Jamaica went into damage-control mode early. U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski got plenty to think about as some of his bubble players shined in Houston, but he also got a scare as Rose Lavelle had to be removed in the first half with an injury....

George is the bigger get for the Thunder for obvious reasons. A four-time All-Star in the prime of his career, George has a reputation as being one of the best two-way players currently in the NBA. He’s an excellent outside shooter who doesn’t necessarily need the ball in his hands to be effective on offense, which should help him fit in alongside the ball dominant Russell Westbrook. It makes George the ideal Durant replacement for the Thunder because of his scoring versatility and ability to function as a secondary ball handler when needed....

They can stop running now, and they start retooling. It’s been a heck of a five-year stretch, but on Sunday in London, the window closed on the Cardinals, the Palmer era and maybe the Bruce Arians era. At the very least, the time has arrived for Arians, general manager Steve Keim and the whole organization to recognize that whatever comes next, another quarterback will be part of it.

One of the most difficult territories when it comes to predicting the final roster for a Super Smash Bros. game is figuring out which Pokemon will make the cut.
