Sometimes talking about your feelings can squash fears and worries. Write down all the things that are making you anxious or stressed. Then, make a plan to tackle the things you can control. For example, if you’re worried about an upcoming trip, you might make a list of everything you need to pack and map out your daily agenda so you feel more prepared....

In the ’90s, public concern and several high-profile deaths vaulted alcohol abuse to the top of college agendas. In 2003 the average school spent $21,000 on curbing alcohol abuse–double the total from 2000. What does the money buy? Much of it goes to science-heavy computer programs like Alcohol 101, an educational videogame in which players send a virtual student to a frat party and track his blood-alcohol level at the scene....

Some people with these complaints may also have difficulty opening their eyes or can be sensitive to light. By the time you head to your doctor, you may already have purchased several types of over-the-counter eye drops. These drops may provide some short-term relief or they may do nothing more than sting or burn a little.

It used to seem like the right star could sell anything. But think of the celebrities who lost some luster this year: Julia Roberts (““Mary Reilly’’), Jim Carrey (““The Cable Guy’’), Sylvester Stallone (““Daylight’’), Arnold Schwarzenegger (““Jingle All the Way’’), Bruce Willis (““Last Man Standing’’). If this goes on much longer, who’s gonna be left to open Planet Hollywoods? WE WERE ROOTING for Sheryl Crow. Really, we were. We liked her do-what-I-wanna-do attitude and the sleek, girlish pep of her songs....

Megawati would have no one to blame but herself. When her party, the Indonesian Democratic Party-Struggle, won 34 percent of the vote in last June’s parliamentary election, many Indonesians celebrated. They hoped her victory marked the birth of real democracy and the end of the byzantine scheming that characterized Suharto’s 32-year autocratic rule. All she had to do was build a coalition, like any modern politician, and she could be president....

Instead of reflecting, he has become an expert at deflecting, often by noting it is best for a coach to have “no rear-view mirror.” There are some things he recalls instantly, though. “The Final Four is mecca for a player and a coach. It’s just — there’s nothing like it,” Krzyzewski told all of us on the day before his Duke Blue Devils played Arkansas for the West Region championship....

The one 247 analyst bold enough to predict the outcome of Lively’s recruiting was expecting him to join the Wildcats. Before the day was out, the predictions were evenly divided between Kentucky and Duke. And by Monday morning, that indicator was 100 percent in favor of the Blue Devils, with 10 analysts and reporters all agreeing. This was indicative of two matters, both of which will have an impact on the immediate future of college basketball: Duke almost certainly was going to land the big-man prospect next year’s Blue Devils definitely need, and the recruiting rivalry that blossomed between Kentucky and Duke over the past eight years will survive the departure of Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski....

You can just hear the reaction from the editor of the OED’s first edition, James Murray, now in his grave: “D’oh!” How appropriate.

Johnson, 35, hadn’t indicated he was feeling any discomfort in his knee. He held the No. 1 spot in the world for a while, but struggled in the second half of the 2018-19 season....

That’s right. Howard, who struggles to shoot 50 percent from the free throw line, is hitting full-court shots like they’re nothing.

The Miami Heat beat the Phoenix Suns on Monday night thanks in large part to LeBron James' 35-point performance. Dwyane Wade chipped in 22 points, and even played a healthy 33 minutes. But the real sign that Dwyane Wade was healthy came at the end of the game, when he videobombed a LeBron James postgame interview with . . . cartwheels. Not bad for a guy with old . ....
