Heat center Hassan Whiteside recorded one of the more impressive triple-doubles you will see Sunday afternoon in his team’s win against the Bulls, finishing with 14 points, 13 rebounds and 12 blocks. Oh, by the way — he did all of that in 25 minutes off the bench. Whiteside explained part of the motivation for his big performance was to increase his rating on the popular video game NBA2K....
Overview When your body’s internal temperature rises, its normal response is to sweat and be cooled by evaporation. But if the humidity is high so sweat won’t evaporate, or you are already dehydrated, you may not be able to cool your internal temperature fast enough and your core temperature rises. Heat exhaustion is one of the less severe conditions of heat illness. Heat illness includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat syncope, and heat stroke....
The Heat rookie, his head buried in his phone, accidentally wandered onto a live postgame show and got wrangled into an impromptu interview.

While much of that shift is focused toward the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, there are lesser players whose futures are also up in the air, and Ray Allen is one of those players. Shane Battier is securely set in retirement with an ESPN job waiting for him, but Allen remains on the fence about whether he will retire, he told ESPN.com. "I've had a great career, I'm content with what I've done," Allen said....
These gestures came with 5:33 and 5:12 remaining in the fourth quarter of Miami’s 110-105 preseason win over the Wizards on Oct. 21. The release didn’t specify, but multiple reports say he made a gun gesture along with a throat-slash gesture during the game.

This unimaginable reality is common in war-torn Yemen. When we discuss the state of Yemen, we are often reminded that the U.N. has labeled it as the worst humanitarian crisis on earth. We recall that 80 percent of all 30 million Yemenis are in need of humanitarian aid. However, we forget that displacement, poverty, and starvation in Yemen are directly caused by the political reality which also starves Yemenis of their rights....
The president’s vacation is a working vacation, too. He bloodied his finger putting in an hour for Habitat for Humanity, went to New Mexico for the first day of school and gave a nationally televised speech on stem-cell research while the world’s biggest flies divebombed the window behind him, distracting the American people. He also had a cheeseburger and onion rings at the Coffee Station, a place near his Texas ranch, with a group of preselected local corn growers....
Focus on the Positive You can provide moral support and encouragement for your loved one through kind words, cards, or caring gestures like running errands or bringing over dinner on a bad day. Distraction is also a great idea—telling jokes, sharing a story, playing a game, or bringing over a craft can help keep your loved one’s mind off of his pain. But you’ll want to be careful not to have your entire relationship revolve around your loved one’s pain and symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, problems concentrating, or sensitivities to light, sound, and smell....
Conte responds to Mourinho Pogba rejoined United for a world-record transfer fee of 89 million pounds ($109M) in the summer, but has come in for some criticism following a handful of underwhelming performances. Henry has backed his compatriot to come good, however, stressing that the 23-year-old needs time to adapt to the Premier League. Speaking at a Puma event in Kolkata, the former Arsenal striker said: “I think that [Jose] Mourinho is still looking for his best XI, his best system....
Producing good kids is tough enough for anyone. In Jackie Kennedy’s case, the odds were stacked high against her. Caroline was 6 and John was 3 when their father was murdered. Their uncles (especially Ted) and family friends were helpful, but could not really raise them. Jackie’s own background didn’t suggest a family tradition of warm child rearing. Her bitterly divorced parents subscribed to old-fashioned aristocratic notions of raising children: let the servants do it....
Yet despite the universality of this simple message, a substantial body of scientific research shows that sympathy for the disadvantaged is not an automatic impulse for most people. In fact, generosity may require that we actively override some baser impulses, like blaming the victims of adversity. Not only do we sometimes treat the unfortunate as bad people, we tend to unduly admire those who have been smiled on by fortune....

If the season ended today, both of those streaks would be snapped. The season doesn’t end today, of course, so it doesn’t really matter that the Royals and Blue Jays are atop the AL Central and AL East, respectively. Kansas City hasn’t made the postseason since winning the 1985 World Series, and Toronto hasn’t been since winning the 1993 fall classic. What do these two teams need to do to play in October?...

As a candidate for U.S. Congress in the Bronx, a New York State Assembly member and a vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, I’m invited to be interviewed regularly, but let’s face it—going onto Fox News as a Democrat requires some mental preparation and emotional fortitude. I was invited to appear on America’s Newsroom to, in part, respond to a silly question about whether former first lady Michelle Obama will eventually be the Democratic nominee for president (hint: she won’t)....
The mammoth three-run homer deep into the Braves’ bullpen at Turner Field on April 5, 2010, shouted the real-life arrival of a player already steeped in lore. MORE: 10 worst baseball teams of past 30 years The 20-year-old right fielder, hailed as a can’t-miss, generational talent, had raced through the minors with a Paul Bunyan-like legend, magnified all the more after the Braves erected tents behind the right field wall in spring training because his mighty blasts broke windshields in the parking lot....
