To showcase the indie games on Switch, Nintendo will present a new Direct called Indie World giving roughly 20 minutes of information and footage for what’s coming down the pipeline. Unlike past Nintendo Directs where they are pre-recorded, it seems this presentation will be livestreamed. It’s been awhile since Nintendo did a live presentation so it could mean big things are to be announced. If you want to watch and learn everything from the upcoming Nintendo Direct Indie World presentation here’s what you need to know including start time and livestream details....

For a whole generation of Americans, the Watergate scandal is a vague patch of history – something about political dirty tricks, a “third-rate burglary” and a cover-up, all of it exposed by a couple of cub reporters. But here are the living plotters, like Mafia dons in the Oval Office, scheming and bugging their enemies and turning on each other like cornered rats as the plot falls apart; and here is the president, destroying himself as he betrays the Constitution and the office he fought so hard to win....

Albeit a pretty special one in October. – Box score | Play by play | Schedule | Photos | Ethier plays "Understand this is not about me," Beltran said. "In order for a team to win a ballgame, a lot of things need to happen right, the right way. We have to pitch, we have to play defense, and we have to come through offensively." Beltran had the last two covered like a blanket in Game 1 of the NL championship series Friday night, giving the St....

Don’t blow your best chance in years to end more than a century of futility and decades of ridicule. You’re a win away from the World Series after beating the Dodgers 8-4 in Game 5 of the NLCS on Thursday night. After taking two out of three in LA, you’re going back to Chicago for a potential clincher in Game 6. MORE: Every team’s worst postseason memory Don’t Bartman this....

The All-Star has three hits, including a triple, and walk in 14 plate apperances so far. But he has struck out eight of his last nine a-bats, including seven in a row at one point. In six lifetime at-bats vs. Cardinals starter Shelby Miller, Ethier has two hits, including a home run. Puig has faced Miller three times, picking up a double, a walk and a strikeout. Many took to Twitter to react to the benching of one of baseball’s most polarizing stars:

So what exactly is the agenda? For the past year, Atkins Nutritionals, Inc., has been working quietly on a plan to revamp the way schools approach food, in both the classroom and the cafeteria–a plan that focuses largely on eliminating empty carbs, the same foods adults on Atkins avoid. As part of the Youth Initiative, ANI hopes to announce several pilot programs in schools in the next few months. Though they declined to elaborate, Atkins staffers said they’ll likely push for “curriculum changes,” and take-home brochures for parents and teachers are already in the works....

A lethargic display at Old Trafford on Saturday where Wenger faced his old foe Jose Mourinho didn’t need numbers to back up the criticism from outside. Not only was it an underwhelming performance from a team who had only lost one game all season, but it summed up the fear and hold that Mourinho has over his managerial arch rival. PSG’s Aurier banned from UK The tactics went against Wenger’s usual attack-minded footballing philosophy....

In a memo sent out to districts, schools and the Boards of Cooperative Educational Services this month, the State Education Department notified educators and school staff of a one-year “Snow Day Pilot Program” that’ll provide districts with flexibility to meet local needs and expectations during the coronavirus pandemic. “The Department is establishing a one-year pilot to enable school districts, at district option, and consistent with each district’s re-opening educational plan, to pivot to remote instruction to provide continuity of instruction on what would otherwise be a day of school closure due to a snow emergency,” said Director of Education Finance Brian S....

The talk of the NBA was that lineup’s performance in Game 2 against the Nuggets. In just 11 breathtaking minutes, they scored 47 points (!!!), averaging 2.04 points per possession. If the Nuggets had played hack-a-Curry, the best free throw shooter in league history, they would have been about 10 percent better defensively. They came back down to earth in Game 3, but the group still has a 142.6 offensive rating, 105....

On a similar subject, all the other new area codes cropping up these days (CYBERSCOPE, 9/26/94) might cause trouble for the private phone switches called private branch exchanges, or PBXs. Without software updates, PBXs don’t understand such lunacy as Los Angeles’s new 562 code, and all the phones on the PBX lose the ability to call into those areas.

While the team, Cleveland’s fans and most of the NBA anxiously awaited a decision from LeBron James about where the free agent megastar will play next, Irving signed his new five-year, $90 million contract extension, a deal which will keep him in a wine-and-gold uniform until 2020. The Cavs reached an agreement with Irving on the extension in the first hours after free agency opened last week. They weren’t permitted to confirm the deal publicly until Thursday, when the league’s moratorium ended....

Why not simply oblige? After the recent setbacks in Somalia, the United States has every reason to be wary of another nasty quagmire. Haiti’s ruling thugs, who have no intention of upholding a signed agreement to give up power, chased away the Harlan County, a tank-landing ship–and with it, seemingly, Washington’s hopes of restoring Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the democratically elected president who was ousted in a violent coup in September 1991....

“Nobody’s invincible. Nobody’s going to be here forever,” says the king as he finishes posing for photographs. He looks comfortable in his sports coat and cowboy boots, “cured,” as he says, of the cancer that cost him a kidney and ureter less than three months ago. But the monarch knows he must return to Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic in mid-December for a checkup. He should have taken better care of himself, he says....

This article discusses the causes, symptoms, and prevention of noise-induced hearing loss.

The collection of Mailer’s works, including some writing that has never been published, according to The New York Times, is reportedly set to be released by the late author’s 100th birthday in 2023. Andrew Wylie, a literary agent from the agency that represents the Mailer estate told The Associated Press that Skyhorse Publishing will release the book, but previous reports of Random House dropping the collection over objections from within the company to some of Mailer’s writings on racial issues were not accurate....

“Me, I just try to manage it by not spending any of my money,” Bacot told The Sporting News, then flashed his engaging smile. “I’m pretty cheap.” By comparison, he said of teammates Caleb Love and Leaky Black, “They’ve got a package coming every week.” We are sitting in the film room at the Dean E. Smith Center, on the sort of warm, crisp autumn day the state of North Carolina seems to conjure like no other place....

Perhaps the greatest rivalry in college basketball renews Wednesday night in Durham (9 p.m ET, ESPN), as Duke – the fourth-ranked team in the country and the third favorite to win the NCAA Tournament – hosts a North Carolina squad that has lost three of its last four games and is losing respect in Las Vegas. The Tar Heels’ odds to win the Tourney have spiked to a season-high 60-to-1 at the Westgate....
