Butler will miss the Heat’s season opener vs. the Grizzlies due to personal reasons, the team announced Wednesday. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra says “everything is fine” regarding Butler’s situation and that “it’s all good,” via The Associated Press. The 30-year-old inked a four-year, $140 million deal with Miami after coming over in a sign-and-trade from Philadelphia this offseason.

There is little dispute that the old Soviet history was a tissue of lies. But with the new school year underway in Russia, there is no consensus on the new truth. Unrepentant communists joust with democrats while nostalgic nationalists seek refuge in the 19th century. “Nationalists want to portray the glorious past of the Russian czars, and the so-called democrats are flagellating themselves, saying, ‘We have done all wrong to everyone on earth, and we have to repent’,” says Vladislav Zubok, 34, one of a new wave of post-glasnost historians....

Perhaps it’s the presence of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” at Oakland’s camp. Maybe Brown is setting the table for more chaos when regular season hits. Or it could be that he is just warming up for the franchise’s move to the circus that is Las Vegas next season. My guess: none of the above. This is just AB being AB. And judging by first-year Raiders general manager Mike Mayock’s pointed remark that he wants Brown “all-in or all-out,” the Vegas casinos might soon be taking bets on whether Brown will be wearing silver and black when the Raiders’ first game in Sin City is played next year....

There are a few differences between HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast cancers, including the tumor’s risk factors, its biology, and its anticipated aggressiveness. HER2 status, along with a tumor’s hormone status and other factors, helps determine the prognosis and treatment options for breast cancer. Why Receptor Status Matters Breast cancer is not a single disease, and researchers now have the ability to break down breast cancer into different subtypes based on the receptor status of the tumors....

But at its heart, Hercules is a coming of age story, about a young man who must find out who he is capable of being, for himself, before he can realize who he is capable of being for those that need him. There are some truly talented actors who would do a great job at playing one of Disney’s best heroes: RELATED: Hercules Live Action Remake Reunites Aladdin Director Guy Ritchie With Disney...

Speaking to The New York Times on Thursday, Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said, “We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But I’m not going to say 90 percent.” He added, “We need to have some humility here.” Earlier in the pandemic, Fauci suggested that a smaller percentage of Americans would have to receive a vaccine to reach herd immunity, a term used to describe widespread protection from the coronavirus across the country....

That’s right: eat protein and cut the carbs. Applebaum may have a book to sell, but he’s not the only one talking this strange line. After nearly 20 years of pancakes and pasta, dieters, fitness buffs and a few maverick medical experts are rediscovering meatballs. The backlash started a year ago when Dutton published Drs. Richard and Rachael Heller’s “Healthy for Life” and Harper Collins weighed in with Barry Sears’s “The Zone,” a protein-rich diet plan for health-obsessed gymgoers....
