Rafael Nadal has not had an ideal start to the claycourt season as he lost in the semi-finals of both Monte Carlo and Barcelona, to eventual champions Fabio Fognini and Dominic Thiem respectively. He will be eager to win his first trophy of the year at the Madrid Open, a place where he has triumphed five times in the past. Nadal didn’t look fully match-fit in either Monte Carlo or Barcelona, and even in the press conference at Madrid yesterday he informed the reporters that he was suffering from a stomach virus and might not be 100%....

The Basketball Hall of Famer notes in a post on The Playbook, his website, not only the anniversary but also how things have changed in the past quarter-century. “Today is a celebration of life, a celebration of what some people thought was a death sentence 25 years ago. It’s a celebration of everything I’ve been through until now.” But first he had to get through the announcement all those years ago....

From the moment players arrive in the first shared Magic Legends zone, after a very short tutorial level, they will likely find a chat box in the lower lefthand corner of the game full of spam commands like !freepacks !promocode and !mute. The stream of spam has been essentially constant during our time in the game so far and makes the general zone chat a pretty unhelpful feature. If players want to get rid of the chat for a while until things (hopefully) normalize, there is luckily a way....

It’s a pretty standard feature to include multiple difficulties in this type of game, but Magic: Legends is going a step further to offer players additional chances to modify the gameplay with more challenges that will require carefully built class loadouts to handle specific map modifiers. As gamers might expect, there are item rewards for taking on those extra hard challenges and successfully making it through levels featuring difficult modifiers....

Throughout Magic Legends, players will find cards that they can use to build a deck which will determine what spells they can cast and which summons can enter the battlefield under their control throughout any given level. The cards that are picked up are heavily influenced by the actual pool of cards that have been released throughout Magic’s long history. As many players may have been hoping, the list of cards will include some very iconic Magic rares and mythics from over the years, including at least one of the Power Nine at launch....

All new iPhone 12s have a magnetic loop on the back, which has two purposes so far. One is to stick accessories onto the iPhone. The other is to perfectly align a contact charging pad so it can charge at twice the speed of regular Qi charging pads. Apple has already announced a stick-on wallet (which is apparently prone to falling off), a charger, and phone cases that stick on the back....

Thank you for spreading the word about hypothermia treatment for victims of sudden cardiac arrest (“Back From the Dead,” July 23). On March 19, my wife of 25 years suffered SCA in her sleep. Thanks to the quick response by police and paramedics who administered defibrillator shocks, she was resuscitated and transported to a hospital where doctors performed angioplasty and inserted two stents to a blocked artery. She was then treated with an Arctic Sun machine, which cooled her body temperature to 93 degrees....

Local election officials have accused Alyssa Dau, 19, of Bowdoinham, of voting as her former roommate Evangelia Suleiman with an absentee ballot in Orono, according to Associated Press.

Both Suleiman and Dau were students at the University of Maine. “It is a serious crime in Maine to cast or attempt to cast an illegal vote, either absentee or in person....

During a press conference Friday in Ohio, Majewski denounced an article by the Associated Press (AP) that contradicted his claim of enduring difficult conditions during a deployment to the war-torn country. Majewski has made his identity as a combat veteran central to his campaign to unseat a longtime Democratic representative. Calling the AP report a “fake hit piece,” he said he’d work to make false reporting illegal. Citing military documents obtained through a public records request, the AP reported Thursday that Majewski was never deployed to Afghanistan....

Since I attended my first baseball game at the age of seven or eight in New York’s Polo Grounds, I grew up a fanatical Giants fan. When the team moved from New York to San Francisco, I wasn’t as crushed as I might have been since my family had moved out of New York by then, too. I followed the Giants from my father’s diplomatic postings overseas, and, in college back in the U....

A survey from ABC/The Washington Post found that support for impeachment was split among gender with a double-digit gap between the men and women polled.
