This will be the second time in September that Minnesota United will be travelling to Houston with Dynamo inflicting a 3-0 loss on them in their meeting a fortnight ago. Minnesota are just three points behind leaders Sporting KC and a win here would go a long way in mounting a challenge for the top spot.

On Friday morning, Sidney Crosby’s face made it tough to follow both of those. By Friday afternoon, Crosby’s mysterious case of horrific glandular swelling had benched him for at least two games. By Sunday morning, a set of CDC tests confirmed the obvious — Crosby was the 13th NHL player this season diagnosed with mumps. Other cases have come and gone either unconfirmed or unpublicized. It’s worth noting that mumps is a pretty basic viral infection that, beyond swelling, causes flu-like symptoms....

In many cases, UTIs are treated with antibiotics. You can develop serious complications if the infection moves from your bladder to your kidneys. Home remedies and pain medications are unlikely to provide relief for more severe UTIs and may even increase your risk of complications. This article discusses the various prescriptions, OTC medications, home remedies, and alternative therapies that can help you recover from a UTI. Prescriptions After a urine test confirms you have a urinary tract infection, your healthcare provider will likely prescribe medication....
That content being released for Among Us has taken different forms, from new maps to accessibility options. The major update released today is described as its biggest yet, featuring different roles not unlike contemporaries such as Werewolf, account linking, and unlockable achievements. However, arguably its biggest selling point is new cosmetics, many of which are available via a battle pass-like system of Cosmicubes. These Cosmicubes differ from a traditional battle pass model in distinct ways befitting the game’s casual nature, so other titles could take notes....
MRI is based on the physical and chemical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a technique used to gain information about the nature of molecules. How MRI Works To start, let’s look at the parts of the MRI machine. The three basic components of the MRI machine are: The primary magnet The largest part of the MRI is the primary magnet.

In order to correctly diagnose the problem and thereby offer appropriate treatment, sometimes a piece of muscle has to be obtained in order to look at affected muscle under a microscope. Sometimes, in fact, more than one sample may be needed, as some muscle diseases don’t involve the entire body, but instead have a patchy distribution. How a Muscle Biopsy Is Done There are two main forms of muscle biopsy....
As the first year of Destiny comes to a close, Bungie is planning to usher in the game’s second year of life with major changes alongside a massive new expansion called The Taken King. Not content to simply sit back and apply small tweaks to the experience, Bungie is overhauling a number of key areas in the game, from its storytelling to the UI to gameplay mechanics. The changes are so vast that many players have begun to affectionately refer to the current Destiny as being a year long beta....
It is clear seeing how Batman’s iteration is compared between each game in the franchise, but it is also interesting to see how Rocksteady’s Batman compares when he is sized up against the Bruce Wayne’s and Batmen who have been featured in live-action films. Lewis G. Wilson, Robert Lowery, Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney aside, the Arkham Batman holds up intriguingly to live-action’s modern Batmen from the last three iterations of the character....
Spears, 41, was accused of fat-shaming Aguilera in an Instagram post that she uploaded to her page on September 13, where she discussed her former Mickey Mouse Club co-star’s backup dancers. The mother of two, who married husband Sam Asghari earlier in 2022, posted a quote attributed to comedian Rodney Dangerfield that read: “I found out there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.”...
Fortunately, Attorney General William Barr and a bipartisan group of state attorneys general appear poised to hold Google—the biggest and worst Big Tech actor—accountable for its clear antitrust violations in the digital marketplace, including search and online advertising. And even the FTC, long captured by Big Tech, has apparently been shamed into at least pretending that it is going to look into Facebook’s clear antitrust abuses. (At least until after the election, when the FTC may hope for a President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s resumption of the Obama-Biden coddling of the Big Tech Left....

Here are just some of the best moments from the first season of House of the Dragon. 8 Daemon Vs. Ser Criston Cole One of the standout action sequences of the whole season is the jousting match and subsequent fight between Daemon Targaryan and Ser Criston Cole in the season premiere....
HBO’s Game of Thrones was a global phenomenon like no other. And though it can’t be said that it ended with a bang, it did dominate pop culture until its series finale aired in May 2019. An explosive show like GOT was almost destined to have follow-up installments in the form of prequels or sequels. Thanks to author George R.R. Martin’s excruciatingly slow writing, a sequel was largely impossible, seeing as he hasn’t even finished the A Song of Ice and Fire series....
The debut of the Game of Thrones spinoff was so big that some people claimed it actually crashed their HBO Max app. Knowing that information, it should come as no surprise that on Friday morning, the platform officially announced the show has been renewed through its House of the Dragon official Twitter account. RELATED:George R.R. Martin Didn’t Want To End Up Like Stan Lee With Game Of Thrones The tweet showed a picture of the show’s logo with fire in the background....
House of the Dragon was an absolute phenomenon when it aired last year. The series’ first season featured two showrunners: Ryan Condal and Sapochnik. Sapochnik had previously been a director on some of the biggest episodes of Game of Thrones, including “Hardhome,” “Battle of the Bastards,” “The Winds of Winter,” and “The Long Night.” When it was announced that Sapochnik was stepping down as House of the Dragon showrunner ahead of season 2, it came as a shock....
