But victorious trustbuster Joel Klein likes that word, too. “I’m confident that the remedy will be upheld,” he says. “And I’m confident that it’s the right remedy.” Someone’s confidence is obviously misplaced here. But only Klein can afford to be wrong. If an appellate court tosses out the breakup remedy (good chance) or even overturns the whole thing (less likely but not impossible), he’ll always have his memories of Judge Jackson adopting his every suggestion at the expense of those hapless geeks from the other Washington....

The Spurs trace their roots to Dallas, where they were born as an American Basketball Association charter member on February 2, 1967. The Dallas Chaparrals finished second in the league’s Western Division that year, and they did so in plain vanilla-looking uniforms featuring blocky “Dallas” letterforms.

It was 10 years ago this month that tests for mutations in two breast-cancer genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, hit the market. Early on, many doctors worried that the tests would do more harm than good–patients might lose their insurance, maybe even their jobs, if the results came back positive. And they’d be emotionally devastated by the news. “There was a real concern that people might commit suicide,” says Dr. Kenneth Offit, of New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center....

For the 18-year-old world number one, who closed with a three-under 69 at the Mission Hills Country Club to finish at 12-under-par 276, the win marked her second successive major title after winning the Evian Championship last year. “It was always my dream to play on the LPGA. Just being here was a dream come true,” said Ko, who started the day one back of leader Lexi Thompson. “For these amazing things to be happening is unbelievable but it also motivates me to work harder....

Brad Turner of the L.A. Times provided a schedule of the center’s week and the teams he’ll be meeting. On Wednesday, he’ll meet with the Mavs, Lakers and Knicks. On Thursday, he’ll be recruited by the team he’s been playing for his entire seven-year career — the Clippers.

So, when Bryant was asked about the NBA TV deal, which is worth $24 billion over nine years, he was honest, per usual. Bryant said, sure, players “are overpaid, but so are the owners. And you have to fight for what your market value is.” MORE: NBA TV contract | Coaches on shortened games | Most valuable teams by media exposure This was an issue for Kobe in recent years....

No other player with a spot on the top five of the Lakers’ career scoring list — Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor and Magic Johnson — has seen his career wrap up on a bad Lakers team that didn’t make a postseason appearance. Their contributions to those playoff games were decidedly limited (Baylor did not appear in a game after Halloween in his final year, 1971-72, but the Lakers still won a championship) but there was still the dignity of stepping away from the game with a winning outfit....

On Tuesday, Andy from Columbus, Ohio—who uses the handle KipDudemeister—shared a picture of a small kitten on Reddit with the caption: “My wife agrees to a ’trial run’ with a cat. She has fallen in love with the little girl and keeps extending the trial period. Meet Penelope. (This was her reaction to being told that she can stay another week).” Shared on the popular r/Cats forum, the post now has over 60,000 upvotes and has gained hundreds of comments from delighted Redditors....

As the U.S. began a 12-day training camp with MLS players in Sao Paulo, where it will be based during the World Cup in June, Klinsmann said the recent returns of Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley to the league are "exciting" and "huge for football in the United States." Dempsey joined Seattle in the summer and Bradley signed with Toronto FC this week. Although Klinsmann indicated in the past he would rather see top American players testing themselves in top leagues overseas, he said Tuesday a stronger MLS benefits the national team....

Klinsmann trotted out a team with what seemed to be a good foundation of experience sprinkled with some newcomers, and watched it sputter in the first 30 minutes and implode in the final 30. Making the beating even more frustrating was the fact that Ireland was also experimenting with younger players. Only the Irish newcomers stepped up while the Americans fell short. Klinsmann stuck to his suggestions that the team is enduring necessary growing pains, but on Tuesday night he made it clear he thinks his team is too soft and needs grow up if it is going to find success in the important years ahead....

The leaders take a seven-point advantage over champions Manchester City into Thursday’s crunch encounter at the Etihad Stadium. Hope of a first top-flight title since 1990 will soar if they can inflict a fourth league defeat in six matches on Pep Guardiola’s men and make it 21 games unbeaten to start the Premier League season. Expectations of silverware might be growing on Merseyside but Klopp is unconcerned by how his players will cope with the fanfare....

City claimed the first trophy of the English season with a 5-4 penalty shoot-out victory at Wembley on Sunday after the 90 minutes ended 1-1. Raheem Sterling put City ahead against his old club during a first half in which the Premier League champions were the dominant force. Liverpool were the better side after the break, though, with Joel Matip deservedly heading them level and Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri each going close to scoring winning goals....

Location Knee arthroscopy is usually performed as an outpatient surgical procedure meaning that you can go home the same day of the surgery without having to stay overnight in the hospital. A surgeon and operating team can perform your knee arthroscopy either in a hospital or outpatient surgical center. Both locations are equipped with the appropriate staff, medical monitoring technology, and surgical instruments to complete the operation. Whether your operation is scheduled in a hospital or outpatient surgical center depends on the schedule availability of the operating rooms as well as the availability and preference of your surgeon....

The report says the Knicks have not requested an interview with the former Pacers coach; instead, they wanted to find out whether Vogel would have interest in the job.

In Beijing for two preseason games, the Lakers' star told Kevin Ding of Bleacher Report “if today was a playoff or NBA Finals [game], could I play? Probably.” Bryant suffered his Achilles injury in a game against the Warriors last season, the team his Lakers will take on in China. If he were to take the court today, Bryant's return would have come just about six months after the initial Achilles tear....

With the Thunder fighting tooth and nail for a playoff birth, Westbrook dropped 54 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in a critical game against the Pacers on Sunday. His heroics couldn’t prevent the Thunder from losing by 12 points, however, and they are now on the outside looking in on the playoff race with only two games remaining in the season.

The Eternals are celestial beings who were sent to Earth to watch over the planet, protecting and nurturing humanity. But it isn’t just these characters—and the A-listers who play them—who are of interest. Eternals features one other person who could become a major player in the MCU: Dane Whitman, played by Kit Harington. The character may seem ordinary but he is anything but. In the Marvel comics, Whitman is the hero Black Knight....
