The brewing mass dropout of medical schools follows the sudden departure last fall of most leading law schools from the U.S. News rankings, which occurred shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court heard opening arguments in two cases challenging the use of race-based affirmative action in higher education admissions. Harvard is one of the defendants in that matter, and the justices’ initial questioning suggested that the Court will likely side with the plaintiffs and hand down a landmark ruling against the use of racial preferences....

Considering how many Dreams creators participated, and the level of quality that players released over the course of the last year, the competition is likely steep going into the Awards.

At MWC 2022, the firm unveiled the Dimensity 8000 Series, pitching it as the little brother of the top-spec Dimensity 9000. But this doesn’t mean sacrifices have been made to performance. Despite returning to a 5nm process, the octa-core Dimensity 8000 and 8100 are still very much flagship SoCs (systems-on-a-chip). Those eight CPU cores include four of Arm’s performance-focused Cortex-A78, which enable maximum clock speeds of 2.75GHz for the 8000 and 2....

Known as Heracles inexpectatus, the bird may have grown to just over 1 meter (3.3 feet) in height and weighed around 7 kilograms (15 pounds,) according to a study published in the journal Biology Letters. Its name refers to Heracles—a figure in Greek mythology who is known for his adventures with large mythical beasts—and the unexpected nature of the bird’s discovery. “Heracles, as the largest parrot ever, no doubt with a massive parrot beak that could crack wide open anything it fancied, may well have dined on more than conventional parrot foods, perhaps even other parrots,” Mike Archer, from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, said in a statement....

There have been debates about who exactly the Colts coach looks like over the years. Often, NFL fans have pointed to other players, namely centers, that share a similar look to the 14-year Colts star turned head coach. However, none can quite beat the claim that a current UNC player has in the Jeff Saturday lookalike contest. That would be his son, Jeffrey Saturday. The two were seen together recently at a UNC game, and many eyebrows were raised when seeing the elder Saturday talk to his son; in a way, it was like he was talking into a mirror....

There were seven new hires made in the Power 5 and eight in the Group of 5. This cycle revolved around the SEC — past, present and perhaps future. There are four new coaches in the SEC, including Tennessee’s Josh Heupel, Auburn’s Bryan Harsin, Vanderbilt’s Clark Lea and South Carolina’s Shane Beamer. Four former SEC coaches also took new jobs. That group is Illinois’ Bret Bielema, Arkansas State’s Butch Jones, UL-Monroe’s Terry Bowden and UCF’s Gus Malzahn....

I walked over to three little girls playing with a grocery cart. I gave the smallest one a hair clip and suddenly from behind a cardboard house 15 small boys and girls came running out swarming all over me, grabbing at my clenched fist for the hair clips. Then when I opened my hand to show them there weren’t any more, they started to ask my name in Xhosa (their tribal language)....

It was a picturesque scene as the couple were met with camera flashes making their arrival at Mansion House under the cover of an umbrella. The images of the couple, smiling and jovial against the backdrop of the gloomy March rainfall, are reminiscent of something out of a film and have already been romanticized on social media. Thursday’s Endeavour Fund Awards was the first time Meghan and Harry have appeared together publicly since announcing in January their decision to step back as senior members of the royal family, become financially independent and live a more private life split between the U....

Sources from the cricket body said the November 10 election has been postponed and a decision on it will be taken after the Supreme Court gives its order on implantation of the Lodha Committee reforms. The Supreme Court’s order is expected on October 30. The last MCA polls were held in 2015 when former Union minister and NCP chief Sharad Pawar was elected as president of the association. One of the recommendations of the Lodha panel was that persons above 70 years of age cannot be office-bearers of a cricket association....

It’s hardly a coincidence, says Paul Waldman, a senior fellow at Media Matters for America, a left-leaning nonprofit research center that analyzes conservative “misinformation” in the media. Along with founder David Brock, Waldman has spent the last three years studying the relationship between the press and politicians. Waldman and Brock were so struck by McCain’s cozy relationship with the press corps that they decided to write a book about it....

It’s taken almost three months of uproar, but John McCain today finally rejected the endorsement of controversial Texas Rev. John Hagee. The move comes after audio of yet another controversial Hagee sermon was posted online this week. First reported by a group called Talk to Action and then linked on the Huffington Post, Hagee suggests in the sermon (which Talk to Action says dates back to the late 1990s) that the Nazis had been working on God’s behalf to drive the Jews from Europe back to Israel....

McConnell said that new legislation is “not quite ready” but was likely to happen soon during an appearance on Fox News’s The Story with Martha MacCallum. Although McConnell has insisted that a “pause” should take place before moving forward on any additional legislation, several Republican senators have recently called for new relief efforts to progress quickly. “I think there’s a high likelihood that we will do another rescue package, but we need to be able to measure the impact of what we’ve already done,” McConnell said....
