While Nintendo does enjoy refreshing these characters with a new game every now and then, Zelda games that have served as sequels typically carry over the same characters from the preceding title, which is the case for the upcoming sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

However, the 3DS wasn’t always a hit. There once was a time when the 3DS seriously struggled to find an audience, forcing Nintendo to reevaluate its strategy for its unique handheld. Over time, there were many major decisions Nintendo made to turn the 3DS around, and ultimately, it was successful in this endeavor.

This slickly produced commercial has a companion spot that shows an attractive, older couple adopting a baby (all three are white). Many pregnant women, the announcer says, have “held to their belief that nothing is more precious than human life.“They decided to “tough it out” and found people to adopt their children. The two ads are infuriating many in the pro-choice movement, who consider them judgmental and manipulative, while delighting pro-life viewers who find them positive and life affirming....

Venerable safety Troy Polalmalu, the captain of the Steelers defense, told reporters they’re ready for Brian Hoyer’s backup to enter the game in a sub-package. “The thing about it, New York tried to do that with Tim Tebow a little bit,” Polamalu said. “But Tebow’s a guy you have to just play and play and grind out the entire game. I don’t think Johnny is that type of guy. I think if Johnny came into the game, he would make some splashes, he doesn’t need to get into a rhythm....

YERGIN: No, this is not the ’70s. This is a new OPEC, trying to chart a middle ground. OPEC has its heart and mind set on keeping oil prices between $22 and $28 for what’s called the OPEC barrel. That’s $3 or $4 lower than the benchmark West Texas Intermediate, currently selling at around $27. They’re worried that it will fall through the bottom of that band. They’re seeking to preserve their revenues, on which their national budgets depend....

But rather than rehearse our many ideological differences, I come to NEWSWEEK not to bury Buckley, but, believe it or not, to offer some respect for the man and the editor. More important than any of the particular ideas in which Buckley believed was his belief in the power of ideas themselves. When the audacious, young Yale grad founded National Review in 1955, he hoped to accomplish more than anyone really expected a magazine to be capable of....

In his Wall Street aerie, Larry stokes up with doughnuts and swings into action. But his prey will not roll over. The cable company’s chief, Jorgy (Gregory Peck), a silver-haired icon of rock-solid New England values, dispatches his champion, Kate (Penelope Ann Miller), a young lawyer who’s the daughter of his long-time mistress Bea (Piper Laurie). When Larry sees Kat he bristles like a hedgehog in heat: he wants the company, he wants Kate, he wants doughnuts....

Almost reaching the century mark is an impressive feat, and St. John’s did it both through the air and on the ground. But the more impressive stats come on the defensive side of the ball, as St. John’s completely shut down St. Scholastica.

Was this a freak accident caused by a rogue organism? Maybe not. Some scientists argue that last summer’s soaring temperatures are part of a warming trend that is encouraging a slew of heat-loving organisms to extend their habitats into the once chillier North. Recent tests in Germany showed that Vibrio vulnificus was present in more than nine out of 10 samples of Baltic Sea water. “Microorganisms aren’t clever,” says Tove Roenne, a doctor with Denmark’s National Board of Health....

As do many of the people who live near me, close to Memphis, Tennessee, home to the company’s worldwide headquarters and one of its big distribution hubs. But more about FedEx, Memphis and the real story later. Let’s get back to the Times, and its deceptive op-ed posing as a news story. Here are the opening paragraphs:...

Clinical guidelines recommend colorectal cancer screening start at age 45 for average-risk adults, with earlier screenings recommended for people with a family history or another risk factor. Despite these recommendations, less than 70% of adults in the U.S. are up to date with routine colorectal cancer screenings. The people hit hardest by this access gap are uninsured adults.
