The Suns turned in a historic regular season, becoming the 25th team to win at least 64 games. Of that group, 18 went to the Finals and 14 won it all. They were even more impressive when compared with their peers. As pointed out by Sam Amick at The Athletic, they were the fifth team to win their conference by eight or more games. All four of the others won a ring....
That’s the upshot of the welcome decisions handed down in the last few weeks. In a matter of days, the Court affirmed the American people’s constitutional rights to representative government, to bear arms, to religious expression, to direct their children’s education—and overturned Roe v. Wade’s 49-year reign of terror. These rulings certainly qualify as conservative victories—probably the greatest winning streak in the history of the conservative movement. But they are not partisan victories—right over left, Republican over Democrat....
RELATED: CD Projekt Red’s Next Cyberpunk Game Should Stick Closer to the TTRPG Citizen Sleeper has players take on the role of a Sleeper, a synthetic human who must work off the debt of an actual human being. To pay their dues to large mega-corporations, humans in Citizen Sleeper can transfer their consciousness into their Sleeper, lying in stasis while the automaton performs the strenuous labor instead. The innovative sci-fi RPG has won acclaim for being challenging and provocative and raising questions about capitalism, humanity, and even the nature of consciousness, but there are still areas that audiences will feel could have been improved upon even further....
History The Today Sponge was first introduced in 1983 and became the largest-selling over-the-counter female contraceptive in the U.S. It was the first product to combine a spermicide and a barrier contraceptive in one easy-to-use product for women. The sponge was voluntarily taken off store shelves in 1995 by its previous manufacturer who chose to stop producing it rather than make FDA-mandated changes to the equipment at their manufacturing plant....

However, if you’re indefinitely delaying crucial tasks or filling up your to-do list with non-productive works, then it’s a solid indication that you’re procrastinating.

The bill’s probable passage mostly serves to ease some people’s worries—and Democrats’ campaign warnings—that the Supreme Court is going to overturn gay marriage after it reversed Roe v. Wade, which ratified a woman’s right to an abortion. Passage of the Respect for Marriage Act should be a relatively uncontroversial development; after all, even a majority of Republicans now support gay marriage. Yet in some corners of the political Right, critics are still digging their heels in and viciously opposing the bill, pushing alarmist arguments about how it supposedly “endangers religious liberty....
This is just the time of year when the temptation to hit a tanning salon is highest, particularly for women, who make up an estimated 70 percent of tanning customers. With prom and wedding season around the corner, and beach weekends not far off, a lot of women think they need some “healthy color” to look their best. But dermatologists say that there is no such thing as a healthy “real” tan....

Many people enjoy animated television for escapism. For children, these series help them foster a strong sense of imagination while also providing an educational imprint; whether it’s learning lessons of kindness from the sweet little bunnies on Max and Ruby, or an introduction to the Spanish language in Dora the Explorer, or even beginner’s music literacy through Little Einsteins. For adults, it balances these tropes of escapism and life lessons, but couples it with adult themes and unspeakable situations that can only be palatable and imagined through animation— it also evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who grew up on animation....
“The Girls of Riyadh” explores the lives of four young women—Lamees, Sadeem, Gamrah and Michelle. Their stories are told by a narrator in a series of postings on an Internet chat room.

SCERTS is not a therapeutic technique; rather, it is a model for engaging autistic children which, when properly applied, “provides specific guidelines for helping a child become a competent and confident social communicator while preventing problem behaviors that interfere with learning and the development of relationships.” Why SCERTS Was Developed Imagine Jimmy, a 7-year-old with moderately severe (Level II) autism in a typical school setting. Here are just a few of the therapeutic experiences he might have in the course of a day:...
Women’s sexuality, Sigmund Freud opined, is the “dark continent” of the soul: an uncharted netherworld receding behind folds of flesh and muscle. Among the Big Ideas of the last century, few were as asinine as Freud’s on sex and women, most notably his theory of penis envy. Yet in the decades that followed, science has continued to put forward as much ignorance as bliss. Until the late ’20s, doctors manually stimulated women as a treatment for “pelvic disorder”; the vibrator, originally coal-fired, caught on as a way to shorten office visits....
A year after Jeremy pleaded guilty (he received a life sentence), the Strohmeyers believe they found out. Closed adoption records revealed that Jeremy’s mother was a schizophrenic with a history of mental illness. When they adopted him, they had specified on the application that they were willing to accept the child of a drug-addicted mother, but not a mentally ill one. “It was like being hit by a truck,” John told NEWSWEEK....
This year, as they do every year, economists are highlighting gale-force headwinds: the insanely high price of oil, the poor housing market, a slowing economy, the credit crunch. And they note that non-economic factors ranging from concerns over the war in Iraq to the drought in Atlanta might depress spending. Chanukah almost always comes too late to spur Christmas sales—except in those years, like 2007, when it comes too early....
The last time The Shapeshifter passed a goal on Kickstarter, the aim was to use the extra euros to port the game to the NES, acting as the campaign’s end goal. However, with so much momentum, developer Greenboy Games created one last Kickstarter. Despite being another 20,000 euros away, it was reached before the campaign’s end yesterday, March 18. The final stretch goal unlocked an additional 2 chapters, The Undersea World and Cableway, bringing The Shapeshifter up to a total of 7 chapters....
