i'm hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto? significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor

for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know.

i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo

downpours, but that was yesterday and today is today. you can see this coming in right here. it's going to curl across long island, western massachusetts and perhaps up into vermont. i wouldn't rule out an isolated shower, but i think the axis should be a little bit further to the west than it was yesterday. that's what's going on today. hopefully, the rain is going to come from the fronta there's some genuine dry air coming. we are going to feel that for tomorrow. it's going to last for quite a few days. right now, it doesn't look that promising that we are going to get the rain out of it, but it appears the atmosphere is going to be prime giving us more support for the rain to become productive. you will notice the number of

break up allowing a little bit of sunshine from time to time. we have beach temperatures in the lower 80s today and a high tide at 2:11. the places cloudy this morning should become partly sunny, most of them and the areas clear along the coast. it's going to be the most sunny along the coast today. showers in the morning showers. hopefully, we will get of showers and then it dries out. low humidity starting out cool tuesday morning, but in the afternoon, it will be 82 and look at that, kerry, we are going up to 89 on, let's see, wednesday, we are going to be close to 90 thursday, friday and saturday. i think that's what it looks like right now except at the coast, it looks like some inland spots will be edging 90.
