The sudden closure of every school district in the nation, including two-thirds of them in a three-day stretch, required a massive retooling effort to shift classes to remote learning. While a few districts were immediately up and running, the shift cost students days of instruction. Across the country, the average public school canceled more than 8 days, equivalent to about 16 percent of the school year remaining after closures were announced....

Corpse Party is a PSP title that’s soon to be localized for a North American release. The game can be compared to movies like The Ring or The Grudge in terms of its overall premise and style. The game is part-horror, part-adventure, as the player takes the role of a group of school children and their teacher stuck in a haunted elementary school. The whole point of the game is to make it out of the school alive, or sane for that matter....

Hawkins was on board an American Airlines Boeing 777-200 bound for Santiago, Chile, where he is set to go dove hunting, when a passenger needed to be restrained. American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller confirmed that the plane made an unscheduled landing in Lima, Peru, around 4 a.m. ET Monday. "They were noncompliant, unruly, which happens on occasion," Miller told ESPN New York's Adam Rubin about the passenger who was removed from the flight....

Republican candidate Boebert is facing the Democrats’ Adam Frisch to be a Colorado representative in a race that has proven to be closer than expected. Keith Edwards, who is a Democratic strategist according to his Instagram bio, shared the clips on his Twitter late on Tuesday. For live updates on the midterms, head over to Newsweek’s Live Blog: Who Won the Midterm Elections 2022?—Senate, House, Governor Results “These before and after photos at Lauren Boebert’s election party are giving me life,” he wrote as a caption....

As of Thursday afternoon, Boebert has a razor-thin edge over Frisch, with under 400 more votes. The New York Times’ latest update showed the Republican with 50.06 percent of the vote to Frisch’s 49.94 percent. Colorado law requires a recount for any race where the gap between the final two candidates is 0.5 percent or less. Boebert, one of former President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters, is unexpectedly facing a tight bid for reelection....

Despite the tiredness, the former World No. 1 chose to honour his commitment to the Laver Cup, which sees the crème de la crème of the tennis world vying for the trophy over a fun weekend full of entertainment. Two years ago, Nadal played a vital role in delivering the first title to Team Europe. Even though the team went on to triumph once again the very next year, sans the Spaniard, his presence certainly adds a different dimension to the competition....

A number of leading figures have been quick to ask whether the police were under-prepared for the breach, which began at around 2.15pm as the House and Senate debated the presidential election results. A violent mob of President Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and forced lawmakers to crouch under desks and wear gas marks. Police attempts to barricade the Capitol building proved futile, and a woman was shot and killed inside....

A lawsuit filed in federal court in San Francisco this week alleges the team’s official mobile app accesses microphones on fans’ smartphones to listen in on and potentially record private conversations, even while users are idle. MORE: Eight NBA players with most to prove Upon downloading the free app, which promises “the easiest way to stay current with schedules, scores and news,” fans are prompted to grant permission to use the microphone, but, according to the lawsuit, the team does not make clear a reason why the access is needed....

Ridge is one of the youngest defendants in the Capitol riot cases and his attorney Carina Laguzzi is hoping to keep him out of jail when he is sentenced on Tuesday. Ridge is accused of breaking down the doors to Senators Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi’s offices and bragging that he “made history” on January 6. The now 20-year-old was only 19 at the time of the insurrection and Laguzzi is asking Judge James Boasberg to factor his youth into his sentencing....

The now-dismissed lawsuit accused Facebook of suppressing conservative voices leading up to the election and also named Dominion, whose voting machines and systems have been scrutinized as part of larger election fraud claims. The lawyers were ordered to pay $62,930 to Dominion and $50,000 to Facebook. Election officials in four swing states were also named in the suit and will be receiving penalty proceeds from attorneys Gary D. Fielder and Ernest J....

One of the most inclusive aspects of Laxidaze is its character creation, which will allow players to make the characters they want with no labels - something not commonly found in games. Not only that, Machine Elf Studios is trying to implement even more ways to make Laxidaze open to a broader audience. Machine Elf Studios also started a design contest on its official Discord channel, which will provide the winner with the chance to have their ideas for one of its creatures, called Nanim, to be implemented into the game....

Balotelli scored the opening goal in Sunday’s encounter, before Lazio went on to claim a 2-1 victory thanks to Ciro Immobile’s brace after Andrea Cistana had been sent off. Shortly after Balotelli’s goal, a warning was read out over the stadium’s public address system after chants appeared to be targeting the Italy international. Balotelli hit out at those responsible in an Instagram post that accompanied a clip of his goal, with the striker writing: “Lazio fans that were today [Sunday] at the stadium, SHAME ON YOU #saynotoracism....

Fiorentina are currently in 14th place in the Serie A standings and have improved after a shockingly poor start to the season. La Viola were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Bologna over the weekend and will need to put in a better performance on Wednesday. Lazio find themselves in ninth place in the Serie A table and have not enjoyed the best of seasons so far. The Biancocelesti slumped to a 1-1 draw against Genoa in their previous game and cannot afford to slip up in this fixture....

In the 18 years since Dignitas’ establishment, it has managed to accumulate 77,400 followers on Instagram, 73,500 YouTube subscribers, and 276,100 followers on Twitter. However, having access to such a huge following isn’t always a good thing, as proven by a seemingly innocuous Tweet from the esports team that garnered the wrong kind of attention. RELATED: Call of Duty Player Banned from College Esports Program Dignitas’ Tweet Goes Viral The controversy began with a response to another Twitter user as Dignitas’ commented “mobile gaming is not gaming....

The reason for the initial suspension was for intentionally feeding. And the scoreline in the last few matches did reflect some poor performances on the streamer’s part, as Thebausffs went 4/10/3 and 4/15/0 in his final two League of Legends matches, according to OP.GG. So, for the League of Legends “troll detect” algorithm, it’s not surprising that Thebausffs came off as an intentional feeder. However, what made the ban so controversial was that Thebausffs did the most damage to the enemy of all his teammates....

The images appear to be screenshots from GPU-Z, a small piece of software that provides hardware information about a user’s system. The screenshots show detailed specifications for both the AMD Radeon RX 6600 and the 6600XT, respectively. According to the images, both the 6600 and 6600XT will have 8GB of GDDR6 memory. Some of the information is missing in the readout, such as the texture and pixel fillrate for the 6600, as well as the release date....

With E3 2014 just a few short weeks away, it’s not a greatest time for looking towards the future of Battlefield franchise since the latest release has been met with disappointment (and multiple lawsuits from shareholders), and still isn’t in a state it should have been when it launched. The squad join feature was only added to the console versions of the game last week. No joke. With rumors of another potential Battlefield title coming this fall (police-themed), and DICE also developing Star Wars: Battlefront and Mirror’s Edge 2, we should all be concerned about what sort of quality and features these titles will deliver, and how rushed they may all be since we’re seeing more deadline-driven development....
