Some items, like herbs, grow in the Enchanted Garden, and the Alchemist can collect them every day for no charge. Rare, valuable, and sometimes essential ingredients are often only available from vendors, and if one visits during a busy Potion Craft day, they can help replenish the stock, so that the resident Alchemist can better serve future customers. If the herbs the player needs can’t be found in the Enchanted Garden in the morning, they can be purchased by the merchants that visit the shop....

Poulter and Oosthuizen were drawn together in the last-16 in Texas on Saturday and battled right to the 17th hole to decide who would progress to the quarter finals. It was Poulter who prevailed – winning 2 and 1 – but he had led by four shots with five to play after a scintillating round that almost saw a hole-in-one at the 11th. Oosthuizen was not going out without a fight, though, and recorded birdies at 14 and 16 to take the match to the wire....

The Toronto guard missed 11 games with a left shoulder injury before returning to action this week. In his second game back, he scored 23 points, and the Raptors held off a furious rally to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 130-121 on Wednesday night. Powell scored 20 points on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs in his first game back, then followed up with another strong performance. He made 9 of 11 shots, including 3 of 4 3-pointers....

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Big-hitting former champion Juan Martin del Potro will battle baseline specialist Dominic Thiem when the pair meet on the Grandstand in the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Monday. Del Potro has defeated the 23-year-old Austrian in their previous two meetings, including a win at Flushing Meadows last year when Thiem was forced to retire in the second set due to a right knee injury....

Twelve years later, the wireless revolution that brought the mobile phone, Bluetooth and WiFi is about to extend its claim to the domain of power. A handful of companies are now trying to beam power directly to mobile phones, PDAs, laptops and other gadgets without our having to remember to plug them in overnight. The promise of wire-free power, though, may run afoul of the current penchant for all things green because it usually involves a loss of efficiency....

Twelve players matched four white balls and the Powerball correctly to win $50,000 prizes....

Known as one of the most transient states in the country, new residents flood Nevada each year, lured by jobs in the gaming and hospitality industries in Las Vegas. Its politics are in a constant state of change also, with Nevada perennially placed among the small number of battleground states in the country. Gone are the days when Barack Obama won the state by 12 points, in 2008. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden each edged Donald Trump by only 2....

The venue that was named after Jackie Robinson, a UCLA alum who in 1947 became the first African-American to reach the MLB stage, is no longer being used by police, according to LAPD officer Mike Lopez (via NBC News). “We’re troubled by accounts of Jackie Robinson Stadium being used as a ‘field jail,’” the university tweeted Wednesday. “This was done without UCLA’s knowledge or permission. As lessee of the stadium, we informed local agencies that UCLA will NOT grant permission should there be a request like this in the future....

The short answer applies to almost all the countries of Central Europe that experienced those upheavals: the history of the battles before 1989 matters less and less to voters. For them, the accelerated pace of change makes the last 12 years feel more like a whole new era than simply a new chapter in their lives. In Poland, the latest elections represent the second or third turn of the wheel during this era....

Even today, more than four years into the war in Iraq, as many as four in 10 Americans (41 percent) still believe Saddam Hussein’s regime was directly involved in financing, planning or carrying out the terrorist attacks on 9/11, even though no evidence has surfaced to support a connection. A majority of Americans were similarly unable to pick Saudi Arabia in a multiple-choice question about the country where most of the 9/11 hijackers were born....

This creepy revelation was especially horrifying for Marc Klaas, Polly’s father, who, for the last decade, had devoted his life to keeping the likes of Karr away from children. A well-known children’s lobbyist and founder of the KlaasKids Foundation, the latest developments in the JonBenet case this week stirred up a lot of painful memories for him. After an emotional week, he speaks with NEWSWEEK about what it’s like to be a parent accused, and what role the Ramsey case has played in his own life....

Pomegranates and Your Cholesterol Unfortunately, there are not many studies examining the effects of pomegranates on cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Those studies that do exist, which have been conducted on both humans and animals, have yielded mixed results. Most studies examine the effect of pomegranate juice, rather than the whole pomegranate fruit. While some studies suggest that LDL and total cholesterol levels are slightly lowered (between 3% and 10%) by consuming pomegranate juice, other studies suggest that pomegranates may not have a significant, positive impact on any part of your lipid profile....

Pompeo spoke at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during an unveiling of a draft report created by the Commission on Unalienable Rights. Pompeo created the commission in 2019 and it is meant to provide “advice on human rights grounded in our nation’s founding principles and the principles of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” While Pompeo mentioned that the U.S. historically “fell short of securing the rights of all”—specifically with its enslavement of Black people, the expulsion of Native Americans and interfering with foreign sovereignty—Pompeo said the U....

“Good luck to the athletes at #Rio2016! May you always be messengers of goodwill and true sporting spirit,” said the pontiff via Twitter, which was translated into nine languages. At the conclusion of his Wednesday General Audience, Pope Francis delivered his message for the upcoming Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, urging athletes to “fight the good fight” and finish the race together and to achieve as a reward “the construction of a civilisation in which solidarity reigns and is based upon the recognition that we are all members of the same human family, regardless of the differences of culture, skin colour, or religion”....

One can almost hear Pope Benedict XVI roaring with frustration at this multiplicity of interpretations. Benedict, a theologian by training with an expertise in dogma, has been fierce in his condemnation of the creep of Western secularism, and the promiscuity of recent Jesus scholarship must seem to him another symptom of the same disease, all ill-founded and subjective claims. “We are building a dictatorship of relativism,” he declared at the beginning of the 2005 enclave that elected him pope, “that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires....
