Even so, there’s one way that the game could make more sales: Minecraft isn’t on Steam yet. In a way, that’s a shock; Steam is the definitive PC gaming storefronts, gathering countless games from across the industry and making them available in one place. It’s not like Microsoft avoids selling the PC versions of its games through Steam. For instance, Obsidian Entertainment’s survival game Grounded is available in Steam Early Access now, and Halo Infinite has a Steam presence too....

In the decade since, education has become a permanent fixture on the national agenda, no longer simply the purview of local districts. Two presidents made educational excellence a cornerstone of their campaigns. And the business community, weary of having to run its own remedial programs, joined the crusade for a bettertrained work force to compete in a global economy. On the local level, many states and districts have raised academic standards and instituted new testing programs....

Why were you arrested? I was called up by the office of the prosecutor general to provide explanations about materials they obtained during the search [May 11] of the Media-Most offices. [The investigator and I] talked for an hour or so. And then he said: “My boss would like to talk to you.” I said, “Sure.” He said, “Some other people too are expecting you [in the office next door]....

A-Rod having his suspension upheld, then showing up to Yankees spring training in full uniform, living in a rented Winnebago and blasting The Standells’ “Dirty Water” until he is hauled away by police? Sure, why not? A-Rod announcing plans to start his own baseball enterprise, the No Buds League, in which Bud Norris is allowed, but Bud Selig is not, because one Bud is fine, but, sorry, no Buds? Sure, why not?...

The first Olympic Games I recall clearly were in Mexico City in 1968, where the triumphs of Cathy Rigby and George Foreman made the news alongside the raised-fist anthem protest of Tommie Smith and John Carlos. Four years later, we watched the record-shattering gold medal exploits of Mark Spitz while reeling from the terrorist attack on 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. The 1980 Winter Olympics brought the “Miracle on Ice,” but just weeks later Americans withdrew from the Summer Games as part of a boycott protesting the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan....

Some Americans continue to wait upon the money granted to them by the CARES Act, to assist them through the economic hardship spurred by the COVID-19 outbreak, while polling suggests many would like to see another round of money distributed to assist them during the pandemic. However, it is unclear whether such further support will be approved with the House-approved HEROES Act, which includes such measures, stalling in the Senate due to GOP opposition....

While YouTube claims are annoying, they are important. These alerts let you know if you’ve used someone else’s content in your video. So, before you overstep your boundaries as a content creator and things get out of your control, it is good to know about copyright claims. Some of the most common violations that can trigger creators include images, video clips, and video clips that haven’t been produced by you....

His supporters say Werbach’s talents and enthusiasm outweigh his shortage of experience. In particular, they like his innocence of Beltway politics. Club dissidents have been grousing that the organization has become too much an old boys’ club that, to curry favor with other Washington insiders, takes timid positions. Exhibit A: a membership vote in April went 2 to 1 in favor of banning logging in national forests even though the board of directors had long shied from such an absolutist stance....

Isaiah, starring as NBA legend and 1980s Los Angeles Lakers superstar Magic Johnson, was a Hollywood newcomer prior to landing the iconic role. “I did have an IMDb page, it was just blank,” Isaiah told Newsweek earlier this month. “But that’s part of it, you know? It’s like, creating your own opportunities and really trying to speak it and push things into existence before they’re there, and inventing yourself,” he added....

It is not easy being a Manchester United fan at the moment, and millions of ardent Man Utd followers will agree to this. The season has turned out to be an utter disaster, but another painful reality is your confirmed exit. I don’t know why you decided to part ways, nor am I disappointed in you, because you sir are a genius who is capable of sliding into any team....

Krayzelburg immigrated to the United States at 13, but his success is due to more than an immigrant’s work ethic. Perhaps more than any other American swimmer, he has learned from science. “I’ve become a lot more educated about how to find my ideal stroke,” says Krayzelburg, now 24. After every big race he and his coach, the University of Southern California’s Mark Schubert, analyze spreadsheets that break his race down into 10 elements–from the speed of his turns to his stroke rate every 50 meters....

Sources familiar with the contents of the vicious home movie, obtained by the FBI on Friday, say Pearl’s throat is then suddenly slit with a knife. A hand is shown holding his severed head. The tape cuts to his captors repeatedly stabbing his lifeless body. Pearl’s head is then shown lying on a pile of newspapers as a message scrolls in the foreground: “If our demands aren’t met, there will be more scenes like this....

WINGERT: Higher standards for all students is one of the rare reforms that Democrats and Republicans agree upon. Why are you opposed? MEIER: I’m for high standards. I’m not for standardization. I’m not in favor of more multiple-choice tests, or important decisions being made using only one instrument–while ignoring the input of the teachers who know these kids… There is no evidence that standardization produces more equality. This is a lazy and cheap way of trying to provide equity....

The Lachin Corridor, as it has been called since I negotiated its opening in 1992 as Armenia’s first foreign minister, is the lone, last, and diminishing thread by which the 150,000 Armenians of Artsakh, 30,000 of them children, are hanging in these brutal opening winter days of 2023. As Russia and the layers of the West, to each their own, jockey for continuance or closure in Ukraine and beyond, attention is naturally in short supply for this ancient Armenian territory awarded divide-and-rule style by Stalin to Soviet Azerbaijan a century ago—then reclaimed by its Armenian majority parallel with the declaration of Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s independence in 1991....

While Zelda was trapped in battle with Calamity Ganon for the majority of the last game, the Princess’ big role in the trailer has led many to speculate that she could be playable in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. While this might strike some fans as unlikely given the series’ track-record and formula, there are a few reasons that a playable Princess Zelda could be key to the success of Breath of the Wild’s upcoming sequel....

Can Khatami justify the high hopes? The president-elect, who takes office in August, has little room to maneuver. He has no power base in the army or the security forces, and his allies are a minority in the conservative Iranian Parliament. Although a mullah himself, he made enemies in the Islamic clergy during his 10 years as culture minister, when he encouraged a freer press and slightly more daring books and movies....
