Vampire games aren’t as popular as they used to be. The decline of vampire-centric offerings has coincided with the rise of Marvel games, which have been enjoying a renewed success as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, and the upcoming Marvel’s Midnight Suns have put the company on the gaming map. To establish itself, it has to win over fans of both Marvel and the gaming medium itself, and using one of the company’s coolest, and most morally gray characters, Blade, could give it a stronger grip in an industry within Castlevania’s usual niche....

If local school officials have their way, the experimental kind of pay-forperformance scheme that benefited Betz —and her students—may become common for America’s teachers, especially those in struggling schools. Merit pay has long been controversial—teachers unions traditionally opposed it, school administrators complain it can be expensive and unwieldy, teachers say it forces them to compete against each other. Last week, as congressional hearings on the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind got underway, the tone was divisive, and it became clear that reaching consensus on changes to federal school-reform laws would be a long and difficult process....

Will the deals ever stop? Last year was the biggest ever for the merger biz, and Bollenbach’s battle for ITT gets ‘97 off to a prodigious start. It also gets dealmakers’ pulses pounding, since it’s expected to be a long, messy fight that will stop them from fretting about the hefty fees they missed during last year’s glut of friendly, low-fee deals. Hilton’s roll of the dice is motivated by this: High-end hotels are nearly bursting with visitors, but no one wants to invest in more bricks and mortar....

For its part, Facebook has promised not to interfere with Oculus’ premiere project, the Rift, a virtual reality video gaming headset that intends to right the wrongs of the Virtual Boy and then some. Considering some of the machine’s early success, it’s easy to see why. Speaking to TechCrunch earlier this week, the newly acquired company updated fans and observers alike as to the true scale of that success. With 85,000 units sold — including 20,000 pre-orders of the new Oculus Rift ‘DK2,’ the brand has earned an estimated 26....

While that outcome might have been a great thing for WWE a few months ago, especially with how poorly WWE was booking Roman Reigns at the time, it is now probably the worst thing WWE could do in this situation. In fact, if WWE does go along with Lesnar’s request, it could turn WWE into a complete laughing stalk. Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news...

Read on to find out why so many technical people are so in love with Linux. 1. Linux Is Free One reason why Linux has such a devoted following is that Linux distributions are available for download free of charge. This might not sound as impressive when upgrades to proprietary OSes from Apple and Microsoft are also free these days, but in the 90s, when Linux made its debut, operating systems cost a lot of money if they didn’t come with your machine....

The salt method tends to work better on fresh stains. Make sure to blot up or flush the wet stain with cool water before applying the salt ⁠—this will help the salt sink in better. Patch-test this solution on an inconspicuous part of the couch first to avoid any possible damage. You can either apply just baking soda or make a paste. To make a paste, mix 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water....

The first option is to take a Dremel tool and carve a grove in a flat head bit so the prongs of the bit can grip the screw head. The second is to take a cheap pen you don’t use anymore and heat the end with a lighter and press it into the hole once the tip is thick but not liquid. While blowing air with your mouth might work on occasion, the moisture from your breath will eventually ruin the cartridge....

This narrow course laid down in the streets of Monaco, with several variations in elevation and many tight corners, makes it one of the most demanding tracks in Formula 1 and is a threat to any professional race driver. But, due to very limited opportunities and space to overtake, the Monaco Grand Prix can also be the “most boring race” (as described by Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso). Since the first F1 race in 1953, the Monaco Grand Prix has had many famous winners....

Identification has become one of the great public annoyances of New York. To non-Americans, showing identification may not sound like a big deal. But we Americans pride ourselves on free movement. Alas, thanks to guys with the “Allied Security” patches, the fake badges and the low hourly wages, the expression, “Lemme see some ID” has replaced “Go to hell!” as the most commonly heard words in Manhattan. I, for one, am fighting back against the incursions of what I call the Security Guard State....

Any Given Sunday Warner Bros. (4 stars) The matchup of Oliver Stone and pro football makes a not-so-surprisingly good fit: after all, Vince Lombardi often compared football to war, and war is Stone’s favorite cinematic turf. Stone hurls the audience onto the field, surrounding us with the most bone-crunching, earth-shaking game of football ever put on film. The Miami Sharks–coached by veteran Tony D’Amato (Al Pacino)–lose two quarterbacks to injury, opening the way for third stringer Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx) to take his shot at glory....

While Wu’s place in the race is new, the Ketchup account isn’t. @KetchupforWu has been on Twitter since July, but now it has a new mission: to let the world know that Ketchup bottles everywhere want to see Wu leading Boston. If Wu won the election for mayor, it would be historic. In Boston’s history, they’ve yet to elect a woman, or a person of color, for the position. Twitter users reminded fellow Americans that Boston is known for electing white men into leadership positions, and many welcomed Wu to the race with hope for a diverse future....

Most gardeners, when they get to the typewriter, are either practical-minded (how-to books) or deliriously lyrical. Pollan, who has read his share of this stuff, points out that even the best (Eleanor Perenyi, Henry Mitchell, Vita Sackville-West) get so wrapped up in their subject that they can’t stop long enough to tell you what their gardens look like. Perhaps because he’s only been at it seriously for about seven years, Pollan can still remember that there are readers of intelligence and curiosity whose gardening habits amount to no more than a stroll through the yard every month or so to see what’s died....
