Michelle Kirschner/med.uc.edu Michelle Kirschner, Clinical Lead and Medical Advisory Board Chairman at OneVillage, shared a post on LinkedIn: “I’m grateful for the incredible opportunities to learn from leaders in cancer rehabilitation. Tonight, I had the privilege of spending time with Dr. Michael Stubblefield, Medical Director of Cancer Rehabilitation at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation and National Medical Director for Select Medical’s ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation Program. Our discussion centered on one of the most critical—and often overlooked—elements of cancer care: the art and science of predicting prognosis in cancer rehabilitation. Why does this matter so much?

After approximately 20 hours of play, we’ve barely scratched the surface of Where Winds Meet. We’d considered publishing a Review in Progress, but it quickly became evident that the scale of this game far exceeds the playtime we had available prior to release. Furthermore, we have questions about the state of the build we were provided access to, and how it will be improved upon the game’s 14th November release. (But more on that later.) If there’s one thing you need to know immediately about this free-to-play effort from Chinese juggernaut NetEase, however, it’s that its scale beggars belief. This is a 150-hour historical epic with both single player and MMO-style multiplayer features. And it doesn’t cost a dime.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - If you were one of the many people across the bi-state region last night who looked to the north, you probably saw the spectacle of green and purple lights illuminating the horizon.

Nintendo gear is always sought after during the holiday shopping season, but this year likely more so than others. The Nintendo Switch 2 is the console launch of 2025 and it will undoubtedly be at the top of many wish lists for both kids and adults alike. If you were hoping to save a bit on the console during the Black Friday shopping season, you may be disappointed. The Nintendo Black Friday sale was just announced, and unsurprisingly, there aren't a lot of true "deals" to be had. This is typical of Nintendo — legit Nintendo Black Friday deals are hard to come by — but there are ways to at least get the best value for your money if you're going to pick up a Switch 2 before the year is out.As has been the case for many years, the marquee Nintendo deals for the holidays come in the form of ...

After a brief tease earlier this year, Nintendo and Illumination have finally released the first trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. We see a fair bit of returning characters, but we also get our first look at Bowser Jr. and Rosalina, who are debuting in the sequel. After the events of the first movie, Bowser is still tiny and a prisoner of Mario and company, and his son Bowser Jr. is taking on the major villain role to save his father from the Mushroom Kingdom’s clutches. Rosalina is voiced by Captain Marvel star Brie Larson, and Bowser Jr. will be played by Uncut Gems co-director Benny Safdie. During the Direct, we heard both actors’ performances as Rosalina read bedtime stories, seemingly about Mario and Peach, to several Luma, and Bowser Jr. gave a villain monologue. Surpris...
