Motorcycle deaths drop, but trend is worrisome

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Motorcycle deaths dropped 2 percent in the first nine months of last year, but the report by state transportation officials may signal just a blip, not a lasting improvement in safety.

There were 80 fewer motorcycle deaths from January through September of 2010 than in the same time frame the previous year, said the report, scheduled for release Tuesday by the Governors Highway Safety Association.

But fatalities had started to climb back up during the last three of those nine months. And that has safety advocates worried.

Wade misses Heat practice with migraine

MIAMI (AP) -- One of Dwyane Wade's biggest rivals is back, at the worst possible time for the Miami Heat.

Wade did not practice Sunday because of symptoms of a migraine, a problem that has plagued him for years and kept him out of a game earlier this season. His status for Game 2 of Miami's Eastern Conference first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday is unclear, prompting at least some mild concern for the Heat.

"He'll be here," predicted Heat forward LeBron James.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra didn't go out on that limb, saying that it's "too soon" to know if the 2006 NBA finals MVP will be available when Miami gathers for practice Monday morning to complete preparations for Game 2.
