This reward was then extended to the loot pool of the Master version of the Duality Dungeon in Season of the Haunted, and presumably the same will happen with the Master version of Season 19’s new unannounced Dungeon, perpetuating this cycle. While Artifice Armor is great to have and opens up build diversity in Destiny 2, players are in no way guaranteed good rolls on their armor’s stats, which instead is often achieved via stat focusing on regular armor by spending Umbral Engrams and seasonal currencies....

It wasn’t always like this. Despite its affinity for things frigid, Norway’s athletes sometimes had snow kicked in their faces in international tests – especially at Calgary in 1988. But by Albertville in 1992 the new program was paying off: Norway won 20 medals. This time the haul will probably be larger. The Norwegian model: Norway’s push for the winter-sport summit, called Project Olympiatoppen, hinged on a single center where athletes from many sports could train together, trading tips and learning each other’s strengths....

If convicted, Nichols could also face the death penalty. The trial–which, like Mc-Veigh’s, will be run by Judge Richard Matsch in Denver-probably won’t get underway for two or three months. But prosecutors say they already have enough evidence to win. Nichols’s defense team won’t make it easy for them. Led by Michael Tigar, one of the country’s top attorneys, they’ll attempt to plant a nagging doubt in the minds of the jurors: is McVeigh’s real accomplice still at large?...

Saucers, whose sales shot to $30.5 million last year, are essentially walkers without wheels. In 1992, the AMA unsuccessfully sought to ban walkers, primarily because kids could tumble down stairs in them. With saucers, “you’ve gone from the most dangerous thing that people used to buy children” to a safer device, says Portland, Ore., pediatrician Robert A. Mendelson, who uses saucers in his waiting room. But walkers turned out to have other problems, too: studies showed that they hinder some children’s walking skills and hurt their muscular and spinal development....

One company to look out for is Square Enix. This Japanese publisher and developer recently sold off most of its Western development studios and IPs to Embracer Group to make room for new technology and monetization initiatives. What this means for fans is that any appearances from Square Enix will most likely be focused on their Japanese games, quite a lot of which are known about right now. Final Fantasy 16 is expected to appear at a gaming event in the immediate future, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s developers have declared that they want to show something from the upcoming FF7R Part 2....

Tom Golisano made his vessel Laurel available to emergency initiatives as part of a program organized by YachtAid Global—a non-profit which facilitates the use of luxury yachts for disaster relief efforts. Laurel was used to transport water, food and sanitation kits from the Bahamian capital Nassau to Freeport on Grand Bahama—one of the islands that was hardest hit by the catastrophic Category 5 storm—on September 6, 7 and 8, the Naples Daily News reported....

Two of the sporting world’s biggest stars share a birthday on December 30, Lakers star James turning 34 with 14-time major champion Woods 11 years older. But what will the duo be wishing for when they cut their respective cakes? Here we look at what should be on their wishlists for the next year. LeBron James An end to the MVP wait It is remarkable given his consistently incredible play that James has not won an NBA MVP award since 2013....

Now the race is over. After years of public sniping and several failed attempts at reconciliation, the two sides are taking a step toward detente. HGP head Francis Collins (and Ari Patrinos of the Department of Energy, an important ally on the government side) and Craig Venter, the founder of Celera, agreed to hold a joint press conference in Washington this Monday to declare that the race was over (sort of), that both sides had won (kind of) and that the hostilities were resolved (for the time being)....

The PSP was not as powerful as its full-size console cousins, the PlayStation 2 or the PlayStation 3. Still, it surpassed the original Sony PlayStation in computing power. PSP’s Evolution The PSP went through several generations during its 10-year run. Subsequent models reduced its footprint, becoming thinner and lighter, improved the display, and added a microphone. A larger redesign came in 2009 with the PSPgo, and the budget-conscious PSP-E1000 was released in 2011 with a lower price point....

Even acting head coach Trent Cull (filling in for Travis Green, who flew with the Canucks’ veterans to China for games against the Kings later this week) couldn’t help but notice. Amid the chaos of a game with a shinny score and beer league structure, Cull couldn’t help but take a moment and appreciate Brock Boeser’s performance in its midst. “It’s tough to say you had a lot of bright spots with that kind of a score, but [Boeser] has that – as I’m starting to learn – ability to slow the game down,” Cull said to a room of reporters when asked about Boeser’s three-point night....

Over the years, Sony managed to keep fans engaged with the PS4 through a slew of PS4-exclusive games. Some of these games were better-received than others, but all of them gave the PS4 significant value when compared to other gaming platforms on the market. RELATED: Sony Patent May Reveal Major New PlayStation 5 Feature Here are all the notable PS4 exclusives that released from 2013 to 2020, and their impact on the console’s lifespan....

The Native American actor, whose frequent guest roles on TV have had him on everything from “The X-Files” to “Dharma & Greg,” recently opened Red Crow Creations. The studio will produce films, documentaries, live music and children’s programming–all from an American Indian point-of-view. “For generations, Native Americans have agonized over the misrepresentation of historical facts,” Westerman said. “The powers that be have justified the genocide against our people by saying we were merely savages....

Africa is more than academic to children at Chicago’s Suder Elementary School, a public school in the shadow of the troubled Henry Horner housing project. Every summer, principal Brenda Daigre takes 10 fifth-, sixth- and seventh-graders on a study trip to Africa itself (the money comes from community contributions). In order to qualify, students must study French, math (for converting money), journals) and local customs. The kids-many of whom have never even seen downtown Chicago-say the trip opens up the world to them....

Marshall retired in 1991 and died last January. For 24 years he was the high court’s most passionate liberal. He was also the court’s resident curmudgeon, often poking fun at Supreme stuffiness. Now, even from his grave in Arlington National, Marshall continues to confound. Never before have a justice’s papers been so freely available to the public so soon after the justice left. And not since the release of “The Brethren” in 1979, coauthored by Bob Woodward, has there been such a fury over the court’s secrets....

Possibly a lot–even if you’ve never set eyes on the drug. It turns out that one of Viagra’s most powerful side effects is being felt not in the bodies of men, but in homes and labs across the nation: it is sounding a wake-up call about sexual problems in women. Women’s gynecological health is routinely monitored through Pap smears and pelvic exams, and yet the closest most doctors come to asking about sex is “What kind of birth control are you using?...

In the late ’80s, Knipfel was studying philosophy at the University of Minnesota and trying repeatedly – and lamely – to kill himself: “Four years of philosophy might make you want to kill yourself,” he says, “but it’s not nearly enough to help you go through with it.” However, when an overdose of pills landed him in the hospital, he suddenly found himself a guest of the state in a locked ward....

Out of the six episodes of A Couple of Cuckoos that have been released thus far, five of them were good, with the last two being especially spectacular. So all things considered, it’s been quite a good run. On the flip side, it also means the hype for every new episode will be higher than the one before. While that is generally a good thing for the overall popularity of the series, it also means the disappointment will be tremendous if the quality of the new episodes fails to meet the viewers’ expectations....
