For Hearthstone players who pride themselves on collecting Golden cards, the highly-anticipated Upgrade feature is finally coming to Hearthstone. This feature is not just convenient–the full Arcane Dust cost of the base card is applied to the cost of the Golden Upgrade, rather than the Disenchant value, meaning Upgrading a card costs less dust than crafting the Golden copy from scratch. Players can also share Hearthstone deck codes through the in-game chat system, allowing players to easily share decks with one another....

However, Hearthstone Mercenaries is now set to be the most different thing Team 5 at Blizzard has ever done. The combat system will be entirely different from the minion and spell-based traditional Hearthstone and the auto battling in Battlegrounds. Furthermore, Mercenaries will use its own collection of ‘cards’ independent of the main collection, with its own monetization scheme as well through Mercenaries packs. Lastly, there will be a central hub called the Mercenaries Village which is the starting point for launching into PvE and PvP battles....

All three of the Mass Effect games have their own heartwarming moments. Brief interludes that shone a light onto different characters, their lives, love, and heartaches.

During Shane Battier’s karaoke event, the Heat coach sang — well, tried to sing — Jackson’s “Billie Jean.” It’s not pretty. I’m almost convinced he never actually heard the song before he belted it.

It’s particularly great when an artist opts for something other than a boring suit.

LOS ANGELES — Prized heavyweight prospect Joe Joyce is ready to take on America. That was one of the prevailing points RingStar Sports chairman and CEO Richard Schaefer made Tuesday at the luncheon to announce Victor Ortiz’s crosstown showdown with John Molina at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif.

CHASKA, Minnesota (Reuters) - The 41st Ryder Cup has been a riot of colour, costume, cheering and great golf between 12-man teams from the United States and Europe performing in front of an audience of some 50,000 at Hazeltine National. The circus atmosphere of good fun and sports thrills has also been pierced by rude, unsportsmanlike heckling. Shouting insults at players from the visiting European side is bad enough, but some brazen hecklers have taken to trying to distract players as they execute their shots....

The result confirmed the recent dominance of Tunisia over Egypt having beaten them home and away in 2015 qualifying. It was Youssef Msakni who provided a sublime through ball for Khennisi to find the back of the net. The Tunisians bossed the game and didn’t allow the AFCON runners-up to pose any theat whatsoever. Egypt coach Hector Cuper admitted that his side didn’t put up a strong challenge against the Tunisians....

Perak is now forced to play their opening home game of the 2018 season behind closed doors after Football Association of Malaysia came down heavily on them following the crowd disturbances that occured during the Malaysia Cup semi-final clash between them and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) at the tail-end of last season. Clashes between these two particular set of fans have unfortunately been a common occurrence, although it must be said that the crowd control during the return fixture in Johor Bahru was well-managed....

This marks the second attack on church property within three days that the diocese has experienced and called an “act of hatred” after a crucifix of Jesus was found vandalized and toppled over alongside a burned American flag at St. Athanasius Roman Catholic Church in the Bensonhurst neighborhood on Friday. “We are definitely concerned that there is a pattern of hate crimes against Catholics. There was a hate crime at a Bensonhurst parish on Friday morning and now, just a few days later, this act of hatred has been discovered at the Diocesan offices,” said Monsignor Anthony M....

During the 14 years since a Harvard doctor first suggested a link between Prozac and suicide, the popularity of antidepressants has exploded. Thirty million Americans (including 10 million kids) take the drugs. Until now the FDA has been relatively silent on their possible dangers, although regulatory agencies in other countries have required warnings for years. But after trials indicated that depressed kids on the drugs were more likely to become suicidal–and that the drugs might not help kids at all–the FDA started hearings....

Scientists don’t know if the blood’s viability decreases over time. But in some cases banking it may be prudent. Anyone with a family history of blood disease or mixed-ethnicity parents might consider it, since it’ll be harder to find genetic matches at public bone-marrow banks.

Under the ACA, individual market insurers are no longer allowed to use medical underwriting, so people cannot be rejected due to their pre-existing conditions. As a result, the need for high-risk pools is much less pressing than it once was. There are several states, however, where high-risk pools still provide important supplemental coverage for some Medicare beneficiaries. Pre-Existing Conditions: A Look Back Most Americans get their health insurance through their employer or a government program such as Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP....

Stents are mesh tubes that hold coronary arteries open and improve blood flow to the heart muscle. Drug-eluting stents, which release heart medications, have been popular since their introduction in 2003, when the FDA approved them for use in a select group of patients: the “plain vanilla” ones, according to Dr. Donald Baim, medical director of Boston Scientific, a major manufacturer of the devices. Patients in the first trials of drug-eluting stents were relatively healthy....

However, Arena Mode forces players to create decks of 30 cards from scratch, adding an element of thrill as they never go into the arena with a predetermined deck in mind. With this element of speed, players are bound to rely on builds based on Hero Classes - but just which Class should they rely on in Arena?...
