Will Uterine Transplants Make Male Pregnancy Possible?

Denise Grady reported that American doctors expect to implant a uterus into women, and considers the implications for men who wish to carry children.

I am not going to worry about it.
If you want to try I will not object loudly.
We will have limited time to support a child.
We need to talk.
Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

Missed Shots by Paul Millsap Seal a Win for the Jazz

The Jazz beat the Hawks, 97-96, on Sunday night to end a three-game skid.

"CELTICS 100, THUNDER 85 Marcus Smart had a career-high 26 points for visiting Boston and guarded Russell Westbrook effectively. He was part of a group effort that held Westbrook to 5 of 20 shooting. Westbrook still scored 27 points, carrying a larger load as Kevin Durant sat with a hamstring injury.
The Thunder, who led by 11 in the third quarter, had a season-low point total."

A Big Week for Long (or Were They Short?) Passes

Little screen passes turned into big gains in a number of N.F.L. games this week.

"The Patriots and Giants staged another classic, and produced two long touchdowns in the process. Odell Beckham Jr. caught an 87-yard touchdown pass, thanks in part to safety Devin McCourty taking a bad angle on the play. Beckham caught the ball at the Giants 36-yard line, and then ran 64 yards across open field for the score. Later, Patriots star Rob Gronkowski scored on a 76-yard touchdown (with 45 yards coming after the catch) after Giants safety Craig Dahl took a poor angle, allowing an easy touchdown for New England.
Overall, there were six touchdown passes of 75 yards or longer yesterday. That set a new record, breaking the mark of five, set in week 1 of 1963 season and tied in week 8 of 1984. And while a pair of superstars helped the cause, four of the touchdowns came from players who began the season as backups. And all six touchdowns were the result of at least one, if not several, defensive miscues."

Family Searches for Answers After a Woman Goes Missing From a Hospital

Maria Dearmas, 58, went missing for three days after being discharged alone from a hospital that should have known she had schizophrenia and dementia.

The medical student on duty at Metropolitan emergency room blew the diagnosis.
The staff pushed Maria Dearmas out the door.  From there she wandered until a good Samaritan called 911.  Cornell Weill got the diagnosis and did the surgery. The records and contact information were on someones desk.
Errors but no ill will.
