Watch a live stream of O.J. Simpson’s parole hearing above (courtesy LawNewz) beginning at 1 p.m. ET. Room 201 of the Parole Board Office in Nevada’s capitol of Carson City is about to become the center of attention in ways it never has been before. The parole hearing there Thursday morning at 10 a.m. local time (1 p.m. ET) is routine, yet not routine — because the subject, O.J. Simpson, offender ID number 1027820, is the least-routine inmate imaginable....

But it will take more than a few tweaks tucked into a budget bill to fix what’s wrong with the U.S. health care system—failures that the coronavirus pandemic have exposed and underscored. America’s public-health failure in the current crisis reflects the country’s long, sorry record of neglect, poor organization, underfunding, and misplaced priorities when it comes to public health. Add to those woes the sky-high cost of health care, uneven access and relatively poor outcomes, it’s clear the American public has been living for decades with a health system that is failing....

The Serb, who has 17 Grand Slam titles to his name, has made it a habit of playing his best when the stakes are the highest. Novak Djokovic has consistently been able to dig deep in times of adversity and strike back when his opponent least expects it, eventually turning the match on its head. So how does he do it? Novak Djokovic has definitely found a way to turn his fear into his fuel....

The spread of coronavirus - and the subsequent suspension of the ATP Tour - means Djokovic has not played since beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final of the Dubai Tennis Championships in February. The ATP Tour will not resume until August at the earliest, but Djokovic has confirmed he will participate in a new tournament that is launching in his native Serbia. The Adria Tour will be held in four countries - Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina - with events on June 13-14, June 20-21, June 27-28 and July 3-4....

The piecemeal meting out of freedom to us has killed people’s hopes for better times. The Soviet leaders’ attempt to keep us in a state of semiliberation and semistarvation could not help but lead to an explosion. Fearing this explosion, party and government officials staged a coup and held the whole world in suspense for 60 hours. They have not been able to do that since the Cuban missile crisis, and not since then has tragedy turned so quickly into farce....

Having to be the new kids on the block against the already well-established Nintendo and PlayStation brands in the early 2000s was no easy feat for Microsoft. However, the company made a name for itself by delivering its own legion of successful franchises such as Halo, Fable, and Forza. Crimson Skies is another example of this commitment to creativity and attempting to tap into something new to always keep players entertained....

At the time, Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects had a mixed reception, with much of the criticism aimed toward its clunky combat, lack of mission variety, and poor story structure. However, despite these lacking elements, the title did have an intriguing premise. Essentially, a new wave of supervillains were created exclusively for the game, and over the course of the story they would kill each of the surviving Marvel superheroes after an alien invasion....

An extensive report posted to Piscatella’s Twitter gave a plethora of data for games and hardware sales during the month of August with the PS5 leading the way. Piscatella revealed that Sony’s PlayStation 5 topped gaming hardware sales in the US during August, despite Sony’s announcement of a PS5 price hike late in the month.

It’s a mark of just how deep the wounds go inside George W. Bush’s supposedly self-disciplined administration. While Kim Jong Il pushes Asia to the brink of a nuclear arms race, Washington’s best and brightest push each other over the edge of patience and civility. Of course, friendly fire between the State and Defense departments has ricocheted around the Bush administration for the past two years. But after the failure of the latest attempt to negotiate with the Stalinist regime in Pyongyang, the administration faces its worst infighting to date–worse even than the prewar skirmishes on Iraq....

Romain Saiss’ 66th-minute header was followed by two expert finishes from Raul Jimenez at Molineux to complete a win that in truth could have been even more convincing. West Ham rarely threatened a Wolves side that had conceded in each of their previous six Premier League games and head coach Nuno praised the defensive resilience of his team. “[The] clean sheet [impressed me most],” he said. “It is one of the things we should improve and have to keep improving but I’m happy because we didn’t concede anything against a very good team....

Ruben Neves scored a sensational equaliser at Molineux on Monday to cancel out Anthony Martial’s first-half opener for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men. The midfielder unleashed a stunning curling strike that clipped the underside of the crossbar, scoring his 10th goal from outside the penalty box for Wolves. But there were lengthy delays after the goal as VAR checked whether or not there was an offside in the build-up to Neves’ 20-yard effort....

Unlike prescription medications, dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutraceuticals are not regulated by the FDA. What Is a Nutraceutical? A nutraceutical is a food or food component that claims to have health benefits, including treatment and prevention of disease. In 1989, Stephen DeFelice, M.D., derived the term “nutraceutical” from “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical.” Basically, it’s used as a marketing term. What Is a Dietary Supplement? Glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM are popular dietary supplements that are touted as beneficial for joint health....

According to a recent report from Tom’s Hardware, which references the German website 3DCenter that has been tracking GPU prices, the cost of an Nvidia or AMD product is coming down some more. Cross-referencing the retail value from nine different stores in Austria and Germany, the data suggests that some graphics cards are now being priced at less than 50% over the MSRP value, showing that it’s been on the downswing since January of this year....

According to a recent report from PC Gamer, which cites a document uploaded to the UK government website, both Nvidia and Arm have offered up counterarguments, with it boiling down to some key points. One of the big arguments seems to be the fact that the companies feel the merger will benefit its competitors, rather than hinder them, and that neither will be able to muscle its competitors out once the deal goes through....

According to YouTube channel, Moore’s Law Is Dead, a source at Nvidia feels that the company expects to lose out to Intel’s Alchemist card when that’s released next year. The statement specifically mentions “mobile and OEM desktop” of the market share, with the channel’s host saying that the tech giant could be “pushed out” of the “low-end” of the market, and, as a result, has been looking more into crypto....
