Media Unified Rugby Club Welcomes Teens and Young Adults of All Abilities
Media Unified Rugby Club welcomes teens and young adults of all abilities, turning fall and spring practices into lively, sideline choruses of friends and family cheering them on. In a refreshing plot twist, inclusion isn’t a slogan here—it’s the game plan, season after season.
Katie Couric and Rita Ferro Recognized at Gracies Leadership Awards Luncheon
Katie Couric and Rita Ferro were recognized at the Gracies Leadership Awards Luncheon, where the Gracies spotlight the impact women have made in media and aim to embolden the next wave of female leaders. For once, a power-lunch with purpose: less rubber chicken, more inspiration.
Watch the Michelin Guide Northeast Ceremony Live
Watch the Michelin Guide Northeast Ceremony live as top restaurants from Philadelphia and across the region learn tonight whether they’ll be anointed with coveted stars or left polishing their silver for another year. Tune in for culinary coronations, measured gasps, and the annual reminder that suspense pairs nicely with a beurre blanc.
How Trump’s split of the Department of Education will affect students’ classrooms
How Trump’s split of the Department of Education will affect students’ classrooms: for now, it’s more bureaucratic musical chairs than classroom earthquake. The administration can’t legally shutter the department, so it’s carving it up via six agency handoffs: Labor gets a bigger say over K-12 workforce-aligned programs and most postsecondary grants; Interior takes the lead on Native American education; HHS assumes foreign medical school accreditation reviews and expands its role in on-campus child care for student-parents; and State streamlines international education and language programs under Fulbright. Federal student loans and Pell grants stay put—for the moment.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon touts red-tape cutting. Critics call it a D.C. shell game: staff move, roles persist, and “returning education to the states” remains a slogan, not a handoff. There’s even a split personality at play—shrinking the visible federal footprint in K‑12 while flexing on campus speech and curricula. Legal challenges are already circling, and experts warn of inefficiencies, frayed state-agency relationships, and a potential hit to federally funded education research—the unsexy engine that actually improves teaching and learning.
So what hits the classroom? Opinions range from “detrimental” to “unclear” to “not much.” The clearest impact lands on administrators managing college finances and state education offices, who now get to navigate a new interagency maze. And because Congress would have to actually close the department, the grand finale may never arrive—making this less a revolution than highly disruptive theater with a reversible set.
Cloud-Native Computing Set for Rapid Growth
Cloud-Native Computing Set for Rapid Growth: At KubeCon North America 2025 in Atlanta, CNCF leaders said AI inference is fusing with cloud-native, turning intelligent apps into an infrastructure sport—and they’re forecasting hundreds of billions in spending within 18 months. AI is shifting from a few training supercomputers to widespread enterprise inference, making platform engineers the linchpin. CNCF CTO Chris Aniszczyk says cloud- and AI-native development are merging, with Google’s internal inference now chewing through 1.33 quadrillion tokens a month, up from 980 trillion. Kubernetes is bulking up with dynamic resource allocation to abstract GPUs and TPUs, and the new Certified Kubernetes AI Conformance Program aims to make AI workloads as portable and predictable as containers. Translation: engineers get the hard problems, enterprises get the bill, and vendors get a very good year.
