— -- quicklist:1title:Will the Houston Rockets Get Chris Bosh?

text:NBA star Chris Bosh might be leaving sunny Miami for another southern locale -- Houston, Texas.

Sources told ESPN the Houston Rockets are "heavily engaged" in trying to lure the Miami Heat player, who's currently a free agent.

Bosh's first choice is reportedly to stay with the Heat as long as teammate Lebron James remains on the team, but if LeBron takes up another offer, he also might, according to a source.

The Rockets were originally after Carmelo Anthony, another free agent who played for the New York Knicks.

If Bosh heads to Texas, he'll be returning home -- the NBA star is originally from Dallas.

title: Brazil Faces Germany Today in World Cup

text: Fans across the world are gearing up for today's Brazil vs. Germany match.

Brazil, the 2014 World Cup host country, will face Germany without its star Neymar, who was injured in a match against Colombia last week, when he broke a bone in his back.

To make matters worse, the team will also be without Thiago Silva, who was suspended for this match.

Brazil was the favorite to win the tournament, but these losses might create a more even playing field -- which means the game will be even more fun to watch.

It starts at 4 p.m. EST. Follow live here.

title:A Kickstarter For ... What?!

text:It's true -- there really is a potato salad Kickstarter.

The quirky campaign raised more than $35,000 in crowd-funding since launching on July 3.

"Basically, I'm just making potato salad. I haven't decided what kind yet," creator Zack Brown explained on the Kickstarter page.

So what do donors get?

If you give a dollar, Brown will say your name while making potato salad. The more you donate, the bigger the rewards get -- pledge $50 and you'll receive a potato salad recipe book.

He told ABC News he's going to throw a huge potato salad party in Ohio over Labor Day weekend and "the whole Internet is invited."

Ah, the power of the World Wide Web.
