Miami is putting the full-court press on Hayward, going as far as photoshopping him in a Heat jersey in decorative banners outside American Airlines Arena. MORE: NBA Free Agency Tracker: Rumors, reported trades For any skeptics out there, a Heat spokesman confirmed the banners are real. Saturday marked not only the official start of free agency, but also the beginning of the NBA Summer League in Orlando. The Heat are prioritizing the former, as assistant coaches Chris Quinn and Juwan Howard are in Miami on “official team business,” according to the Miami Herald — which is thinly veiled code for the team’s meeting with Hayward....

Heat guard Dion Waiters led Miami to an improbable 105-102 win over the Warriors on Monday night.

In a dramatic second leg of the relegation play-off – with the first encounter having finished goalless – Heidenheim restored parity with a 97th-minute penalty. However, it was not enough for the home side, with Ludwig Augustinsson’s goal three minutes earlier ensuring Bremen stayed up. The visitors had taken the lead thanks to Norman Theuerkauf’s early own goal, but Tim Kleindienst’s strike five minutes from time set up a thrilling finale as four-time German champions Bremen – who hold the record for the number of seasons in the Bundesliga – stayed up by the skin of their teeth....

Sometimes that dark-horse contender beats the preseason favorites who generate the most hype. It’s no different in 2020 when looking at the Heisman odds. Ohio State’s Justin Fields (7-2) and Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence (4-1) are the heavy favorites. Fields was a Heisman finalist last season, and Lawrence has led the Tigers to the College Football Playoff championship game the last two seasons. Outside of those two, which candidates are worth watching?...

In a recent marketing survey sent out by WarnerMedia, it was explained that an ad-supported version of HBO Max could potentially be created with just 2-4 minutes of ads per hour of viewing. It was also suggested that commercials would not appear on any HBO shows or recent movies, but would likely be added to HBO Max originals and classic films that sometimes appear on the service. Presumably this version of the service, if it ever exists, will come with some sort of price reduction as well, which might make it a decent option, especially compared to services with higher ad minutes per hour....

Immediately after the announcement, thousands of gamers took to places like Twitter to express their disappointment in such a price hike coming from Microsoft, which has steadily built a reputation over the past few years as a company that presents a great value to gamers. The Series S offers next gen gaming to those on a budget and Xbox Game Pass is considered one of the greatest deals in gaming, so the decision to essentially double the cost of an essential gaming service came off as spiteful to many....

The problem was, she didn’t. Two months into the regimen, Gubic, like most Atkins dieters, started having serious starch and sugar cravings. She had passed the initial “induction” phase of Atkins, which prohibits almost everything except meat, eggs and cheese. But she hadn’t reached the “lifetime maintenance” phase, the ideal-weight stage that allows plenty of fruits and vegetables and even an occasional cheat. As she added more and more carbs back into her daily diet, already stuffed with meats and cheeses, it became clear she’d never get there....

Italy and France have both reported cases of people being in the intensive care unit because of a new coronavirus despite not being in the age-range that’s believed to be most vulnerable.

That’s what’s happening now, as rumormongers in fright wigs sponsor TV ads and make the rounds of the op-ed pages. If they get enough voters to back away, health-care reform-if it passes at all-will reflect the interests of the medical-industrial complex, not Yours. Doctors and health and insurance execs. along with their political-action committees (PACs), invested $8.3 million in Congress during the first 10 months of 1993, up 22 percent from 1991, reports Citizen Action, a Washington consumer group....

Health: Rating Real Risks Thanks for your Dec. 15 cover package “Health 2003: The Top Ten.” The loss of some 3,000 plus lives in the World Trade Center bombing is dwarfed by the far, far greater losses of human life due to known medical conditions like strokes, which kill 5 million people a year. In the 15 years that I lived in Africa as an agricultural researcher from 1970 onward, I noticed that it was common for the national presidents of that continent to repeatedly raise the specter of “the enemy” that was just waiting to invade or sabotage their country, in order to distract the population from problems on the home front....

Greenwood and Yorukoglu, economists at the universities of Rochester and Chicago respectively, date the onset of current discontents about both productivity and inequality from 1974, when two lines on a graph began moving in ways which, taken together, looked peculiar. One line charted labor productivity. It had been ascending steeply since the mid-1950s. In 1974 the line began a modest decline. The other line charted investment in information technology. What had been an irregular and modest ascent since the mid-1950s began a dramatically steep ascent that continues to this day....

That’s what we had when the Thunder left Madison Square Garden with an overtime win and needed all of Durant’s 44 points and Westbrook’s 30 points to seal the deal.
