Trailing Duke by seven points with around three minutes to go, Emeka Okafor overcame early foul trouble to lead the Huskies on an epic run down the stretch to stun the Blue Devils in the final minutes. Okafor gave UConn the lead for good with a second-chance basket with under a minute and then sealed the deal with the game-clinching free throw. UConn would go on to trounce Georgia Tech in the championship game to claim the program's second national title. Like what you hear? Want to offer feedback?

In an effort to lighten the mood, this week’s UConn Insider podcast focused on some good news involving Huskies of yesteryear. Well, first, a word or two on the doom and gloom of the 2017-18 bunch: beat reporter Dom Amore chats with online producer Chris Brodeur about what it's like to cover a team playing under a cloud of negativity (1:45) and discusses how that affects his writing (5:00). Then, Amore gives a brief update on the status of an NCAA inquiry into the program’s recruiting practices (6:15) before discussing Emeka Okafor’s comeback (7:00) and the upcoming NBA All-Star Game appearances of Kemba Walker and Andre Drummond (8:30). The guys wrap things up with a preview of the UConn baseball season (28:00).

Nikola Mirotic is here and the Pelicans are SAVED (at least from boredom).  The former Chicago Bull put up 18, 12 and 4 in his first 35 minutes as a New Orleans Pelican, and the Pelicans could not be more pleased with the result of their dealt 2018 first round pick. With that being said, the Pelicans faltered early against the Wolves and never recovered.  Anthony Davis scored 19 first quarter points, but it wasn't enough as the Wolves raced out to a 22-6 start, and our heroes never recovered. We speak on that, Deandre Liggins two year contract, Emeka Okafor's ten day, the trade deadline, and then we preview the upcoming matchups with the Jazz and Pacers with Christian Boutwell of the Advocate!  Follow us @TheBirdWrites Blogtalkradio.com/thebirdwritesnba Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bird-writes-nba-podcast-for-new-orleans-pelicans/id1254580823?mt=2 Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/preston-ellis/the-bird-writes-nba-podcast-for-new-orleans-pelicans?refid=stpr Tune In: https://tunein.com/radio/The-Bird-Writes-NBA-Podcast-on-New-Orleans-Pelicans-p1012419/ Google Play:  https://play.google.com/music/m/Ikgqrpz5xjivbhyutvkj5lya3ni?t=The_Bird_Writes_NBA_Podcast_for_New_Orleans_Pelicans

Episode 65 of The Atlantic Files is fresh off the press! This week, we have yet another trade to talk about, some weird signings in Philly, and Joel Embiid's injury situation. First things first, Carmelo Anthony, aka Hoodie Melo, is officially out of New York! Oklahoma City now has a big three that doesn't contain Kevin Durant nor James Harden. How will OKC fare with the new trio of Westbrook, George, and Anthony? What is the New York Knicks identity now? Also, The Sixers signed both Kris Humphries and Emeka Okafor. Not sure if this is a veteran presence move, or they just wanted another Okafor. Then, Joel Embiid is still not cleared to play 5-on-5, so could there be any reasons other than just the injury that is holding him back?

Over the past several years Health Information Technology, or Health IT, has been one of the fastest growing segments in the health care marketplace. While much of this growth has focused in health informatics, particularly the widespread adoption of electronic health records, telemedicine has also become an increasingly important means for improving the quality of clinical care. According to the American Telemedicine Association, "Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status." The promise of telemedicine is that it will improve the delivery and efficiency of healthcare services. This month Virtual Mentor spoke with Dr. Emeka Okafor, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, about the benefits of, and barriers to, telemedicine, and what can be done to help regulate this growing industry.
