The recent iOS launch of Magic Arena has brought the mobile version of the collectible card game to even more players, which means there is a lot of attention of the PC and mobile friendly version of the game. Magic: The Gathering is all about tournaments for some players, which means that a new month of events is always an exciting time. This month is particularly exciting the return of a popular Standard legal set to draft and the arrival of a Cube Draft event....

Former number one NBA draft pick Fultz was traded to the Magic by the 76ers on Thursday. Fultz, who was acquired by the Magic in exchange for Jonathon Simmons and two draft picks – has struggled with his shooting, form and injuries since he was taken first in 2017. The 20-year-old has been out since November 19 and was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome in mid-December. He is averaging 8....

Earlier this year, the Boston Globe got hold of an internal campaign document from GOP contender Mitt Romney, and a recurring strategy was to tie Democrats to the hated French. It said, in the Machiavellian code of the election huckster, “Hillary equals France,” and it envisioned bumper stickers that read FIRST, NOT FRANCE. Except for one thing: We’re not first. America isn’t ranked anywhere near first in anything except military might and snotty billionaires....

A Saga of Evil As a longtime subscriber and faithful reader of your magazine, I am disappointed in your Nov. 4 cover (“The Sick World of the Snipers”). By choosing to publish the photo of the two sniper suspects, you’ve given them preference over the innocent victims and the many unsung heroes of this terrible episode. Your cover could have featured the victims or Police Chief Charles Moose and the other officials who worked tirelessly to bring this incident to an end, or the truck driver whose call resulted in the apprehension of the suspected individuals....

Your May 14/May 21 special report on this year’s travel trends, “Slow Is Beautiful,” calls people’s’ attention to enjoying vacation as an escape from life in the fast lane and gives travelers some interesting tips on finding a choice destination. I was pleasantly surprised to find that environmental issues are now a factor that determines the choice of many travelers. The fact that people nowadays want not just to relax but also to get to know local customs was nicely spread throughout your 28-page report....

Caught in the Dark Along with the rest of the world after September 11, I watched with awe and great respect as New Yorkers carried on their lives with dignity, generosity and resolve. I witnessed that same resolve and graciousness during the August blackout (“Heart of Darkness,” Aug. 25). We were in New York searching for an apartment for my daughter, who is attending graduate school there this fall. We had just gotten off the subway when the lights went out....

The quake struck at 2:49 a.m. UTC on Wednesday (10:49 p.m. ET Tuesday) at a depth of around 37 miles, USGS data shows. The epicenter was located 136 miles south-southeast of Severo-Kurilsk on the island chain, and 870 miles northeast of the Japanese city of Sapporo. Russian News agency RIA Novosti reported that residents in some areas of the Kamchatka Peninsula—located just north of the Kuril Island chain—felt the quake....

Polling undertaken by the company at the end of 2016 found that voters were almost unanimous in thinking that Trump’s business interests would affect decision-making in office. Nearly four years on, Morning Consult found that 80 percent of voters believe Trump’s business interests and positions have had at least some impact on his decision-making as president. The share of those that think this is a “good thing” has fallen eight percentage points to 31 percent....

The poll released Monday from The Economist/YouGov showed that 51 percent of Trump voters agree that “the worst part of the pandemic is behind us,” compared to only 4 percent of those voting for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. A large majority of Biden voters, 80 percent, said that “the pandemic is going to get worse,” joined by 17 percent of Trump voters. A further 10 percent of Biden voters and 16 percent of Trump voters agreed that “we are currently in the worst part of the pandemic....

If attention to cultural detail makes a great epic, “Anna and the King’’ will be a blockbuster. Its creators insist that the movie, due out from Twentieth Century Fox at the end of the year, will be different from the musical about the charming but buffoonish Siamese king and the governess who melted his heart. This tale of English schoolteacher Anna Leonowens’s travels to Siam in 1862, where she taught in the royal court, will be far more historically accurate, the filmmakers say....

A person with macrocytosis often does not have any symptoms and only finds out about the condition when they have a blood test. Some people with macrocytosis have fatigue and other symptoms related to the underlying cause of the condition. Macrocytosis is usually caused by low vitamin B12 or folate levels. It can also occur with other conditions, including liver disease and cancer, or from taking certain medications. The diagnosis involves a standard complete blood count (CBC) test that measures the RBC count and size....

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron’s presence at an International Olympic Committee meeting this week will be key to what will hopefully be a successful Paris bid for the 2024 Olympics, city Mayor Anne Hidalgo said on Monday. Macron, 39, who won election in May as France’s youngest leader since Napoleon, was due to arrive later on Monday and be part of Paris’s 2024 presentation to IOC members on Tuesday as the French capital goes up against a bid from Los Angeles....

Last week’s rally was only the latest public outcry in the biggest fiscal crisis to hit Rhode Island since the Great Depression. Enraged depositors began protesting in early January, when the governor shut down 45 banks and credit unions after the failure of Rhode Island Share and Deposit Indemnity Corp. (RISDIC), the private insurance fund that covered the institutions. (As in similar crises in Ohio and Maryland, the Rhode Island fund crumbled after bailing out a troubled bank: Heritage Loan and Investment Co....

On Twitter, the official Madden NFL page released a short teaser featuring Peyton Hillis, a former Madden NFL cover athlete in his own right. The teaser video shows Hillis with two goats, which is highly likely to be a reference to the acronym GOAT - Greatest Of All Time. The fact that there are two goats in the teaser seems to suggest that the Madden NFL 22 cover will feature two athletes this time around, which is something that has been rumored in the past....

Solari guided Madrid to a fourth straight win since taking charge with a 4-2 victory over Celta Vigo in LaLiga on Sunday. With his temporary spell coming to an end, Solari may yet get the Madrid job permanently, and Butragueno said he was delighted with the Argentinian. “The truth is that we are very happy with him,” Madrid’s director of institutional relations told Movistar+. “There is no doubt that he came at a very particular moment and has been able to achieve very good results....

Asensio ruptured his ACL and external meniscus in a blow to Madrid’s season in the International Champions Cup clash with Arsenal last month. The 23-year-old suffered the injury after coming on as a second-half substitute in Madrid’s penalty shoot-out victory at FedExField in Maryland. “The operation was carried out by doctor Manuel Leyes, under the supervision of the Real Madrid medical services,” a Madrid statement read. “Asensio will remain in hospital until he is well enough to be discharged....
