Currently a senior at Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles, Bronny will have his pick of college options, already having received interest from Memphis, Ohio State, USC, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, and Oregon. According to CBS, he has whittled this list down to three finalists: USC, Ohio State, and Oregon, but LeBron James has said that he thinks “Bronny can go to any college he wants to… all I have to do is pick up the phone....

McCarthy lost his sixth consecutive vote on Wednesday before the House adjourned for an evening recess. The California Republican lost on two additional ballots earlier in the day, which followed three previous failures on Tuesday. He was at least 15 votes shy of the required majority on each occasion, while having lost support since the first vote. A small GOP faction, led by members of the House Freedom Caucus, is continuing to oppose McCarthy’s election to the top position, instead nominating alternatives including Republican Reps....

The Category 4 storm barreled into Florida Wednesday afternoon, landing south of the Tampa Bay area, which previous models showed taking a direct hit. Instead, Lee County took the brunt of the damage, and areas of Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach and Cape Coral are inundated with debris, damage and flooding from a catastrophic 7-foot storm surge. Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said on Thursday that “fatalities are in the hundreds” at this time, though an exact death toll has not yet been announced....

Puerto Rico is currently an unincorporated territory of the U.S. and has been under American control since the 1898 Spanish-American War. Since 1917, Puerto Ricans have had U.S. citizenship, but do not get to vote in presidential general elections or elect representatives to either chamber of Congress. In November 2020, 53 percent of Puerto Ricans voted in favor of becoming a U.S. state in a non-binding referendum, with 47 percent against it....

To convict President Trump of an impeachable offense, the Democrats have to muster a two-thirds vote in the Senate: at least 20 Republican senators (and probably more like 22 because of expected Democratic defections) would have to break ranks. That math sounds unforgiving, and it’s true that the road to 67 votes is a narrow and bumpy one. But the Senate majority leader and the White House fear that if more than a couple of GOP senators say they intend to vote against Trump, there will be something of a traffic jam as Republican senators turn against the president....

He maintained a talent-rich 2019 recruiting class, landed the top in-state player in defensive end Zach Harrison and helped ease concerns about the transition from soon-to-be retired Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer as part of college football’s early signing period. At Ohio State’s signing day news conference, however, Day took more questions about the quarterback position than anything else. So it goes with football’s all-important position.

The Judiciary Act of 2021 would increase the Court’s members from nine to 13 and comes at a time when many Democrats feel aggrieved by Republican behavior toward the Court, including refusing to hold a confirmation hearing for former President Barack Obama’s nominee Merrick Garland in 2016. The idea of expanding the Court—often referred to as court packing—is not a new one. The last major proposal came from President Franklin D....

Since the new type of coronavirus began sickening people in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, in December last year, a total of 213 people have died in 9,776 cases across over a dozen countries, including the U.S., as the infographic from Statista below shows. All of the deaths have occurred in mainland China, largely in Hubei. Now, a team of experts that forecasts the spread of infectious diseases thinks 105,077 people in Wuhan could have been infected by the virus, dubbed 2019-nCoV....

The team of scientists in China looked at what are known as monoclonal antibodies which were created for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which like 2019-nCoV is a member of the large coronavirus family of pathogens. Antibodies are proteins which the immune system creates to remove foreign objects like viruses, known as antigens, from the body. The monoclonal kind are made in labs to mimic the body’s responses to antigens....

The virus, which was first detected in China’s Wuhan city in the Hubei province, has affected more than 121,000 people globally, the majority of whom (around 81,000) are in China, while more than 66,000 people have recovered from the virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the virus a pandemic on Wednesday. “WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction”-@DrTedros #COVID19," WHO said in the post....

In its latest report on COVID-19 released Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said 75,204 people had fallen ill worldwide—up by 1,872 from the previous day. Most cases were in China, at 74,280, in an increase of 1,752 cases. Some 136 people died, bringing the global death toll to 2006. Outside of China, there were 120 new cases across 25 countries—as shown in the infographic below by Statista—and three deaths....

Corpse Husband is not new to YouTube, as he started his channel in 2015. His shtick is narrating scary stories, and with his uniquely deep voice he found a strong following. However, it was his Among Us content that helped turn him into a breakout star in 2020, and he now has five million subscribers to prove it.

Reaching a near-perfect middle ground between a mini-keyboard layout and a full-size, the Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series offers a space-saving design that still matches the layout and quality of a full-size gaming keyboard. The K70 is just as much a tournament-ready peripheral for FPS and MOBA gaming compared to full-size keyboards, but offers a ton of convenience and competition-focused features that do genuinely make a difference.

Video game crossovers, especially when it comes to fan-made media, are quite common within the gaming community. Online users will often find unique crossovers in terms of fan art and cosplay. For instance, back in mid-January, a fan-created crossover art of Kratos using Hades’ art style. However, this most recent example involves live-action cosplay.

Atleti 23/20 to beat Blues The 28-year-old has finally got his wish of securing a return to the Spanish capital following a testing few months which saw him spend the summer transfer window away from Stamford Bridge waiting on a deal.

Goals from Deepak Tangri (4th), and a divine free-kick from Anwar Ali (68th) along with some determined pressing, defending and astute passing helped India register the upset victory against Argentina U-20 who have won 6 FIFA U-20 World Cups over the years. For the record, this is the second time the two sides met – the first time being in the 3rd Nehru Cup in Calcutta in 1984 when India lost 0-1....

Long believed to be a PlayStation 4 exclusive since its E3 2016 trailer debut, Death Stranding has become a very fascinating title for its nebulous plot but also for its star-studded cast. From The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus to Casino Royale’s Mads Mikkelsen, Death Stranding has some very compelling actors. However, the conception that the game is exclusive to PS4 players is being questioned by many, as the Stadia’s upcoming entry into the video game market could shake things up in terms of console exclusives....

Fans have few details about the series despite photographers snapping images of filming. As a result, a lot of rumors have begun swirling about the show. One of those rumors, born of speculation by a lot of fans, is just who the big bad of the series will be. After all, every Marvel project has a villain, even if the audience doesn’t know who they are at first. In this case, it seems like Hawkeye might be bringing a villainous organization back into the MCU....

Classes at the start-up engineering school won’t begin until 2002, but next fall Ige and 29 classmates will report to “campus” (70 vacant acres west of Boston in Needham, Mass.) to live amid the bulldozers and work with newly-hired faculty members to create the school’s curriculum. “It’s a chance for me to leave an indelible mark,” says Ige. It’s sounds like a gamble. In a nation obsessed with college rankings, why take a flier on an unknown, unproven school?...
