At some point over the next six weeks, injuries, improvement or regression will inevitably alter the plan nearly every Major League club brings into Spring Training. The Braves must decide exactly how to round out their rotation and bullpen, but for now it looks like they won't have any position-player battles. Here's the first prediction of how Atlanta's Opening Day roster might look.

As the Braves open camp, they'll provide a glimpse of how much they have progressed since claiming an unexpected division crown last year. Freddie Freeman, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies will once again be in a lineup that has been enriched by the addition of Josh Donaldson, the former American League MVP Award winner who thus far arguably ranks as baseball's top free-agent signee.

Here's an early look at how the Orioles' 25-man roster could shape up on Opening Day.

Since the Rays debuted "the opener" last May, no fewer than eight teams have helped transform the concept from a fad into a mini-movement. Consider the Orioles a candidate to dive in next.

There won't be many roster battles when the Astros open camp later this week, and they won't be decided until the final days of the team's stay in West Palm Beach, Fla. Houston has an open competition for its fifth starter spot heading into Spring Training, and the club also has to sort out a crowded outfield and the final spots in the bullpen.

With this many stars and this much talent, you can't help but have visions of playing baseball deep into October. And considering it was only a year ago the Astros were talking about defending their World Series title, their window to win another one remains wide open.

Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander are not fans of the "opener" and explained why it's not a long-term option.

The concept of overdiagnosis is pretty hard to get - especially if you’ve been educated in a paradigm where medicine has the answers, and it’s only every a positive intervention in someone’s life - the journey to understanding the flip side - that sometimes medicine can harm often takes what Stacey Carter director of Research for Social Change at...

Ted Kaptchuk, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical school - and leading placebo researcher, has just published an analysis on bmj.com describing the effect of open label placebo - placebos that patient's know are placebos, but still seem to have some clinical effect. Ted joins us to speculate about what's going on in the body, what this means...

An “author pays” publishing model is the only fair way to make biomedical research findings accessible to all, say David Sanders, professor of gastroenterology at Sheffield University, but James Ashton and worries that it can lead to bias in the evidence base towards commercially driven results - as those are the researchers who can pay for open...

Here's an early look at how the Reds' 25-man roster could shape up on Opening Day.

It wasn't just that there were new faces when Reds camp opened Tuesday with the reporting of pitchers and catchers for physicals, there was a different vibe that could be felt in the hallways and clubhouse.

Here's an early look at how the D-backs' 25-man roster could shape up on Opening Day.

For the final two spots in the D-backs' bullpen, good luck trying to figure that out just yet. In fact, manager Torey Lovullo has even declined to narrow it down to who could be in contention for those spots.

A rise in mortality is a price worth paying to restart the US economy, President Trump has said, as many states flout advice from scientists and reopen beaches, cinemas, or hair salons while new...

China has been Africa’s largest trading partner since 2009, and as commerce and investment have increased, so have flows of people in both directions. With an estimated 1 million to 2 million Chinese migrants across Africa, some countries have relaxed their short-term visa requirements in hopes of facilitating cultural and business exchanges. High levels of Chinese investment do not, however, correlate with more liberal visa policies, as this article explores.

“To aid dentists who may be reopening their practices when state mandates are lifted,” the ADA issued an updated statement and interim guidance April 18 on the personal protective equipment recommended in order to practice during this pandemic and minimize the risk of virus transmission.

As some dental practices begin plans to reopen and provide nonemergency care — as some states reopen following the direction of their state — the Association is urging dentists to have robust communication and engage their dental team members to address any concerns related to returning to work amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the face of economic challenges, the ADA has released two online guides relating to third-party payment programs available at ADA.org/virus that are intended to help smooth the path of reopening practices: Handling Contract Negotiations and Handling Eligibility Verification

playing games but now I am being repeatedly harassed and accused of being a troll named Sophie. Well you all can just keep this grimy pool. I am not wasting my time or energy. Enjoy yourselves.

I am torn, I know it is time to upgrade my phone, but I don't know whether to upgrade to just accept the larger phone size and go with the 2nd gen SE or go with an android. I'd be interested to know what the closest equivalent android device there is to the 1st gen SE. I am open to a bigger screen size, but not a bigger phone. So, if there was an andriod that was all screen on the front, but was similar size to the original SE, I would be open to that.

I know it's Ramadan, but I've been feeling urges for a few years now and it's just getting more and more now. I always imagine about sex and loving my to-be wife. Right now, I'm studying medicine, so my parents told me it's too early to get married (24 years old). I just don't know really what to do. I prone masturbate to get some relief. What should I do?

*my legit questions

It's lockdown after all. 

I'm trying to make a backup to an external harddrive, but when I go to update & security and then to back up, I don't find the option to 'add a drive'. It's completely empty, even though my computer is detecting the external harddrive.  Where do I find the option to backup files? I'm using windows 10 

No pets no electronics so maybe something that is nice and simple but homemade

I certainly do, it doesn't make sense how someone crazy recording someone getting killed isn't illegal but CP is! That shouldn't be because, they should be either running away or trying to stop that super duper crazy person. Why can't both of them be illegal?

I have 2500 worth of debt and most of it has been turned over into collections
