The Grizzlies will take a pass on both of those players in favor of Michigan State big man Jaren Jackson Jr.
Again, this is just my current guess. It may change as the draft process rolls on. But can’t you already imagine the backlash if the Grizzlies pick another Michigan State project, one who finished with five fouls, three turnovers and not a single point against Stony Brook?
This does not mean the Grizzlies shouldn’t take Jackson, of course. They should take whomever they think is going to be the best player over the long haul. Knicks fans booed the pick of Kristaps Porzingis on draft night. Then they saw him play.
But so far, this offseason isn’t exactly the momentum boost the Grizzlies wanted. And not because they did anything wrong. It wasn’t karma that got the Grizzlies Tuesday night. It was a less mystical force called math.
Bisphosphonates: What Conditions can it Treat?
Bisphosphonates are used to slow down the rate of bone loss. Unfortunately, this group of drugs does not build bone, it simply slows down the process of bone loss. Bisphosphonates can be taken orally or by injection, and commonly include alendronate (Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), risedronate and zoledronic acid (Reclast). Bisphosphonates help treat bone disorders, including osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is more likely to occur due to age, menopause, and other medical conditions or medications.
Although bisphosphonates are meant to reduce bone fractures in patients with osteoporosis, it can create some unwanted side effects. One side effect is severe pain that mimics fibromyalgia symptoms. Here we will examine other conditions bisphosphonates can treat and look at its relation to fibromyalgia. Please note that I am not a doctor. This article has undergone research, but it should not replace the advice of your doctor. Reach out to your healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns.
As previously mentioned, bisphosphonates are a group of drugs that help treat bone problems. Specifically, bisphosphonates help patients who have bone loss or who have thin or fragile bones. Patients who have abnormal bone densities or have had several bone fractures are more likely to be given bisphosphonates by their doctor. These medications are prescribed to the patient in order to stop future bone fractures or other injuries.
Osteoporosis is usually treated with bisphosphonates. It tends to occur in older patients and those individuals with loss of estrogen. The name actually means “porous bones,” which is exactly what the bone looks like in patients with osteoporosis.
Although osteopenia is similar to osteoporosis, it does have its differences. It occurs when the bones are weaker, but not weak enough where the bones will break easily. Osteopenia is a condition in which the body has difficulty making new bone at the same pace as reabsorbing old bone. Women are more at risk as well as older adults.
Also known as PDB or osteitis deformans, Paget’s disease is a condition that interferes with the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue. It can lead to fragile or misshapen bones. It more likely affects older adults and commonly occurs in the legs, pelvis, skull, and spine.
This disorder is where cancer spreads from the organ to the bone. Cancer can start in the lungs, breast, or prostate, and then it can spread to the bone. Your doctor may suggest several treatment options besides bisphosphonates for this disease.
Other reasons that can lead to bone loss include lack of exercise, nutritional or genetic reasons, and hormones.
If you experience any severe side effects that you believe to be life threatening, call 911 immediately.
Unfortunately, some research has shown that bisphosphonates can trigger pain-like symptoms similar to fibromyalgia. In fact, FDA issued an alert to caution patients about the possible side effect of severe musculoskeletal pain associated with this drug.
However, there have also been some cases in which patients have received IV Pamidronate or other IV bisphosphonate medicines for pain. These have been used to reduce pain specifically in patients with pain-related conditions, including Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic back pain, and more. However, there has not been very much research on the topic. The benefits of bisphosphonates should outweigh the risks and side effects if you are considering taking this medicine.
Contact your doctor to find the right treatment option for your condition. Ask your doctor for more information if you have any more questions or concerns or visit American Bone Health online.
A man looks out of the window as he travels on a bus in downtown Kabul.
When photographer Lorenzo Tugnoli and writer Francesca Recchia started making The Little Book of Kabul -- a crowd-funded work chronicling the lives of artists in the Afghan capital -- they weren't sure what they wanted it to look like. But they were definitely sure what they didn't want it to portray.
"One of the things that we didn't want was an exotic dimension," says Recchia, an independent researcher and writer. "An 'Oh my God, you work in Kabul!' moment."
And what is an "Oh my God" moment? Think visual and written tropes often present in Western coverage of life in Afghanistan, they say: images of battle-ravaged towns or descriptions of foreign troops patrolling desolate landscapes.
This book, they hoped, would be a little different.
"It was important to navigate around the idea of cliches," says Tugnoli, a freelance photojournalist who often works for The Wall Street Journal. "Working in country like Afghanistan as a photographer, if I [produced] a book focusing on stereotypes, it would be a failure."
Having lived in Kabul for three years, the two were familiar with its community of artists, one struggling to preserve a sense of normality on a day-to-day basis. They wanted to look at how these artists worked in the lead up to the 2014 transition -- in which responsibility for security in Afghanistan is being transferred from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force to the Afghan National Security Forces.
And so Tugnoli and Recchia embedded themselves with local bands such as Kabul Dreams, and with actors, art students and skaters; becoming, they say, a part of the community.
What emerged was a book telling the story of local creatives through a series of Tugnoli's images juxtaposed with Recchia's reporting. The finished work is small in size, they add, because they wanted The Little Book to be an accessible, yet in-depth, document of a constantly-evolving community.
"It wasn't a matter of interviewing someone or taking a picture and then leaving," Recchia says,"it's really quite an intimate perspective on people's lives."

Republican Doug Ducey is Arizona’s 23rd and current governor. The governor is perhaps best known for having been CEO of Cold Stone Creamery until he and his partner sold the ice cream chain in 2007. He also served as the state’s treasurer, and he is Arizona’s first male governor to hold office since Fife Symington in the 1990s. Ducey is once again making the Arizona news thanks to his budget plan. He is also sounding the alarm that Republican politics are purely self-interested, and that they are anachronistic and detrimental to the public interest at best. The governor and the Republican leadership in the state’s House and Senate agreed to an awful budget this past week. Then, to the chagrin of many Arizonans, legislators pulled an all-nighter and approved a $9.1 billion budget proposal on Saturday, March 7. One of the most detrimental pillars of the budget slashes resources to state universities.
Ducey and his Republican legislative cabal connived behind closed doors to work out the notorious new budget. Local reporters and journalists noted the pushback from “rank-and-file” lawmakers that came to light earlier on in the week as Arizona’s ruling Republican coalition revealed their new financial plan for the state. Still, many lawmakers threatened to vote against the budget unless significant changes to the proposal’s “deep cuts” to higher education were made. Ultimately, however, reductions to the cuts proposed by the governor were minimal: Cuts to funding were only reduced by $5 million, or from $104 million to $99 million.
Crow noted that the implementation of Ducey’s budget cut took into consideration zero input from Arizona’s higher education leaders. Crow also reassured recipients of his statement on the budget that ASU would assess the total impact that budget cuts will have, and that the university will devise a plan accordingly to “minimize the effects” on its campuses. ASU hopes to brace for setbacks while, as Crow put it, “continuing to advance ASU as an institution dedicated to access for all qualified students, excellence in teaching and research, and progress for Arizona.” He promised that ASU would not allow this setback to prevent it from developing as a “comprehensive knowledge enterprise” that dedicates itself to Arizona’s economic and cultural success.
For the Arizona State Senate, one Democrat, Senator Carlyle Begay, was pivotal in aiding the Republicans to get their measures across the governor’s desk. Two Democrats in the House voted for a couple of budget bills, citing their votes as “accidental” due to the fact that they were “too tired to think straight.” Though some Democrats endeavored for hours to propose budget amendments that would restore kindergarten through twelfth grade funding, funding the university system, and also state aid to low-income families, their work was dead on arrival. One Democratic Senator from Tucson, David Bradley, touted the Ducey budget as “death by a thousand cuts” for the state’s disenfranchised who simply cannot survive losing state aid. An incredible amount of teachers, students, and parents protested outside the State Capitol last Thursday evening.

Ryan’s position on the board provides Fox with a politically connected ally who can help advocate on behalf of the company.
Fox Corporation debuted as a public company on Tuesday with a new board member — former House Speaker Paul Ryan.
The company, which includes Fox News and the Fox broadcasting network, had been dubbed by some in the media industry as "New Fox." On Tuesday it announced the completion of its separation from 21st Century Fox, which houses the company's TV and movie assets that are being acquired by Walt Disney Co. The new entity will trade on the Nasdaq exchange.
Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, stepped down as speaker in January after about 20 years in the House, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Ryan’s position on the board provides Fox with a politically connected ally who can help advocate on behalf of the company, which is expected to attempt to acquire other media companies.
Fox's domestic news and cable sports businesses will account for 86 percent of the new company’s earnings, according to an investor note shared by Michael Nathanson, co-founder of the independent equity research firm MoffettNathanson.
Nathanson noted that Fox is about to start renewing its distribution deals with the satellite operator Dish and the cable company Charter Communications that expire in 2019.
Ryan is one of four new directors joining the company, the company said. The others include Chase Carey, the former president and chief operating officer of 21st Century Fox, who left and later joined Liberty Media’s Formula One as chief executive; Anne Dias, the founder of Aragon Global Holdings, a media and tech investment fund; and Roland Hernandez, a former chief executive of Telemundo Group who is founding principal and chief executive of Hernandez Media Ventures.
The previously announced board members include Rupert Murdoch, Fox co-chairman; Lachlan Murdoch, Fox chief executive and co-chairman; and Jacques Nasser, the former Ford Motors chief executive.
The announcement also said that Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox will become effective at 12:02 a.m. ET on Wednesday.

RICHMOND - Virginia has been named the most pro-business state in the country by the Pollina Corporate Real Estate study: "Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States for 2011: The Rise of the West." Virginia won the 2011 top-ranking by the largest margin in the history of the study. This marks the third straight year that Virginia has held the top spot in the Pollina rankings. In July, CNBC also named Virginia as America's "Best State for Business."
The Pollina Corporate Top 10 Pro-Business States for 2011 are: 1) Virginia 2) Utah 3) North Dakota 4) Wyoming 5) Nebraska 6) Kansas 7) South Dakota 8) Missouri 9) South Carolina and 10) Indiana. The study ranks states based on 32 factors controlled by state government, including taxes, human resources, education, right-to-work legislation, energy costs, infrastructure spending, workers compensation laws, economic incentive programs and state economic development efforts. Two new factors-state budget deficit and state property tax index-along with a comprehensive State Report Card have been added to this year's study.
RICHMOND (AP) - Virginia agricultural officials say the state has received nearly $380,000 in grants for producers and small rural businesses.
The grants are for the implementation of renewable energy and energy-efficient measures.
Twenty-three grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture were announced Thursday by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Commissioner Matt Lohr says they'll help save businesses and producers thousands of dollars in energy costs each year.
In all, the USDA announced more than $11.6 million in energy grants nationwide.
NEWPORT NEWS (AP) - A new air service is coming to Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport.

Earlier this month, AirTran Airways announced it would eliminate service to the airport in March.
RICHMOND (AP) - A federal judge in Norfolk has granted a company title to artifacts it recovered from the Titanic in a half-dozen perilous salvage expeditions to the famous shipwreck.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith entered the order in favor of RMS Titanic Inc. on Monday.
Smith had ruled a year ago that the company, which has exclusive rights to salvage the Titanic, was entitled to full compensation for artifacts worth about $110 million. However, she put off deciding whether to give RMS title to the approximately 5,900 artifacts or sell them and turn the proceeds over to the company.
CHARLOTTESVILLE (AP) - Coastal Lumber Co. said Tuesday that it was going out of business, laying off more than 350 people in West Virginia and three other states.
In a statement to customers and suppliers, the Charlottesville-based company blamed the "prolonged downturn" in the economy and the company's inability to obtain financing for a plan to keep it afloat. But the statement said that the company is still pursuing alternative financing in hopes of resuming business.
The Rockets are reeling and Chris Paul's frustration boiled over in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's 98-80 loss to the surging Thunder. When ref Mark Ayotte called Paul for a foul as he was backing down Dennis Schroder, the nine-time all-star appeared to fake a pass to him. Ayotte called a technical for the disrespectful deke.
Like he does with Rajon Rondo, Paul has a history of crankiness with the officials. Just last year he was fined $25,000 for criticizing referee Scott Foster.
Paul's irritation probably wasn't really about the call, though. Houston's loss dropped them to 4-6 on the year. The Rockets didn't lose their sixth game last season—when they finished with the best record in the Association—until Dec. 22.
Coach Mike D'Antoni had one word to sum up their performance Thursday night, and really the season: "Yuck." After leading the NBA in offensive rating in 2017-18, they're No. 26 so far this season. The loss also marked the third time this year they've failed to crack the 90-point plateau over 48 minutes; that's only happened three times total in D'Antoni's first two seasons in Houston.
"Really, our offense is anemic," D'Antoni said after the game. "I don't know if we're just sagging because we're not believing in what we're [doing]. I don't know. We've got to find the answers. I can't tell you today, 'Oh yeah, it's this,' and we'll solve it tomorrow. No, we've got to work through this and figure out what we need to do. But our offense right now is not very good."
With Golden State's loss to the Bucks the same night, the Thunder now have the league's longest winning streak at seven games. Perhaps we're being unfair, but there's one major thing development connecting the disappointing Thunder from last season and the underachieving Rockets this season: Carmelo Anthony. In 20 minutes off the bench against his former team, Melo shot 1-of-11 from the floor for two points to go along with two fouls. Mark Ayotte isn't who Chris Paul should be angry with.
