That theory is now being tested on a much larger scale in companies across the nation. In an effort to rein in mounting health-care costs (employer health insurance premiums increased an average of 6.1 percent last year, more than twice the rate of inflation), hundreds of employers are using financial rewards and, increasingly, penalties, too, to persuade employees to take demonstrable steps to improve their health and reduce their health insurance costs, and absenteeism in the bargain....

The action star is perhaps best known for his role as John McClane in the Die Hard film franchise. “This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support,” Rumer wrote. Willis’ diagnosis appears to have prompted Google searches for the difference between aphasia and dementia. Speaking to Newsweek, several experts have explained the two conditions. Aphasia is a language disorder that’s caused by damage to the brain....

As you plan for your procedure, it’s helpful to get acquainted with the various surgical specialties, from general to cardiac and beyond, and to learn more about what you should consider when deciding on the right surgical specialist for you. Who Should Perform Your Surgery? In the United States, a surgeon has a minimum of five years of surgical residency training. In addition, some specialty and subspecialty surgeons must have many more years of training before practicing independently....

Dillian Whyte could turn to a familiar foe this winter. “The Body Snatcher’” (24-1, 17 KOs) has said he would love a rematch against Dereck Chisora as he looks for an opponent for December to get him prepared for a potential showdown with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. “I’d love to fight Derek Chisora, as this time I’d stop him," Whyte said via Sky Sports. “That fight was funny — it was my first 12-rounder and Derek was already British champion....

A spin by rookie William Byron brought out the caution late in the Great American Race, setting up the first of two restarts with seven laps remaining on Sunday. With just two laps remaining a 12-car pile-up forced overtime, leaving just six lead-lap cars without damage. Aric Almirola led entering turn three but was turned, allowing Dillon to take advantage for his second NASCAR career win. Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace Jr....

But he’ll need to win the Ford 300 if he wants to prevent critics from questioning his second major NASCAR championship and wanting to place an asterik next to his name. Dillon has not won a Nationwide race this year. Every champion in the three national series has won at least one race on the way to the championship. Dillon could be the first driver to win a major NASCAR championship without having a victory....

Dinkum challenges players in many ways, such as hunting, gathering materials, farming, and mining. It leaves lots to be discovered from the very beginning, and a unique aspect is shiny stones. Shiny stones are mysterious items that are pretty useful to players once opened.

Reddit user OmniSlayer_006 has posted a fan made image of a new Dino Crisis, which would be built with the RE Engine. The image shows an updated look for Dino Crisis protagonist Regina as she hides from what is presumably a Tyrannosaurus-Rex. The T-Rex in Dino Crisis was a reoccurring source of danger for Regina, even featured in one of the game’s most effective jump scares, and so it’s nice to see it getting some love in the fan art as well....

Well, it was a rather dire 90 minutes to endure for anyone sitting at Anfield on Sunday as Liverpool failed to find the back of the net and West Ham put everyone behind the ball hoping for a break. If anything, this game proved that the Reds have no real plan B when a side faces them and plays the long ball, similar to Stoke. We appear to struggle to take anything from the game and just can’t break through....

While there’s a clear parallel between the large-scale combat of Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefield — not to mention the fact that the former is taking the latter’s place in EA’s typical release schedule — most fans of the original games would be disappointed if this long-awaited sequel was little more than a re-skin of a different franchise’s gameplay. However, news broke this morning that suggests that isn’t the case....

When Electronic Arts confirmed that DICE was, in fact, taking over the Star Wars: Battlefront franchise it seemed like a no-brainer. After EA acquired the rights to publish and develop all future Star Wars games, there were a lot of questions in the air, but gamers felt pretty confident that it was DICE who should pick up where Pandemic Studios left off. And strangely, prior to the EA/Disney deal, DICE felt exactly the same — believing they could develop both Battlefield and Battlefront at the same time....

This fact hit me once again when I was talking to Mike Sheehan, who is one of the more clear-eyed analysts of terrorism and the way we react to it. The subject came up of Beirut as it is now, a bloody mess, and as it was when Mike and I first focused on it a quarter-century ago, when it was even bloodier. Back then President Ronald Reagan waded into the Levantine quagmire, quickly understood that he had made a big miscalculation, and withdrew....

The numbers drawn last night were 36, 41, 45, 51 and 56 for the white balls, while the yellow Mega Ball was 13 and the Megaplier was 3x. The latest game saw one lucky jackpot winner, a ticket holder in New York who took home the top prize after correctly matching all the white balls as well as the Mega Ball. The other big winner on Tuesday night was a player in Connecticut who matched all five white balls, winning the game’s second prize, valued at $1 million....

Belair and Bayley set the tone for the pay-per-view by delivering an excellent hard-hitting matchup. Both the champion and the challenger will undoubtedly feel the effects of the match when they wake up tomorrow morning. The finish saw Belair hit Bayley with the KOD onto an open ladder. It was an incredibly impactful move that left no doubt in the minds of the WWE Universe who the winner of this matchup was....

However, the show has always been marred by one particular controversy — the fact that it may have stolen many of its story elements from the anime Outlaw Star. What really makes the difference between a simple homage and outright ripping off ideas? Did Firefly really have that much in common with this overshadowed anime from the 90s? It’s time to settle the debate once and for all. Timelines - Outlaw Star vs....

But there could be another culprit. A flared out side skirt.

If you aren’t aware, a burner account is when a public figure (like an athlete) will create a separate, anonymous social media account that seemingly has no connection to them, and is often used to respond to others. Since responding publicly would usually result in more public shaming, some like to respond anonymously through burners. But, as we’ve seen with Kevin Durant and former 76ers GM Bryan Colangelo, sometimes you get caught....

The deal sends Reddish, who was the No. 10 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, to a new location where he should see more opportunities for playing time than he has during his three-year stint in Atlanta. Was there a clear winner and loser in the deal? Let’s break it down and see how this trade works out for both teams. NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial)...
