Nintendo's Switch 2 soups up the graphics, but does it deliver the games?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nintendo's Switch 2 video-game console is out, and it makes some substantial improvements over its predecessor. The 7.9-inch portable display (up from 6.2 inches) boosts the resolution, and while the LCD screen isn’t quite as sharp as an OLED screen might have been, it’s much cleaner than the original model. The Switch 2 looks even better when connected to an HDTV, since it now supports 4K and HDR. However, the launch lineup of games is a bit sparse. The marquee title, Mario Kart World, is excellent, but if you don't feel the need for speed, you might want to wait.

Ex-police chief and convicted killer who escaped from an Arkansas prison has been captured

A former police chief and convicted killer known as the “Devil in the Ozarks” has been captured after he escaped from prison, triggering a massive, nearly two-weeks-long manhunt in the mountains of northern Arkansas. Grant Hardin was serving lengthy sentences for murder and rape. He previously served as police chief in the small town of Gateway near the Arkansas-Missouri border. A spokesperson for the Arkansas prison system says Hardin briefly attempted to run from officers when he saw them approach, but he was quickly tackled to the ground. Hardin had been held at the Calico Rock prison since 2017 after pleading guilty to first-degree murder.

Brothers bring boxing back to Fenway after 70 years and hope to revitalize the sport in Boston

Boxing is returning to Boston’s Fenway Park for the first time in nearly 70 years. “Fight Night at Fenway” is scheduled for Saturday. The 11-fight card is the culmination of years of effort by twin brothers and longtime public schoolteachers who grew up in Watertown. Matt and Mark Nolan want to revitalize boxing in the city that was home to some of the greatest athletes in the sport’s history. It’s also symbolic of a shift back to the roots of the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball. In the past, Fenway has held political events and sports like football, soccer, hockey and basketball, not just Red Sox games.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Joann announced it would be going out of business back in February, just one month after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time within a year.
