Stereotypes? Maybe – but as generalizations they have a large enough kernel of truth that scientists, like everyone else, suspect there’s something going on here. As Simon LeVay, the Salk Institute neuroscientist who in 1991 discovered structural differences between the brains of gay and straight men, put it recently, ““There are differences in the mental lives of men and women.'' The mind, of course, is just what the brain does for a living....

Duke was on the road at Wake Forest on Saturday when Allen and Wake Forest guard Bryant Crawford both dove for the ball. Allen grabbed Crawford’s arm during the play, and a scuffle occurred near Duke’s bench. MORE: Allen’s play, not his antics, should be Duke’s issue To be fair, it looked like Allen was ready to move on from the play. But a slight overreaction from referee Teddy Valentine — and the fact Wake Forest guard Brandon Childress grabbed Allen’s arm — caused the altercation to escalate....

Abbott, alongside fellow Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, generated controversy over the last year over his state’s new practice of busing undocumented immigrants and legal asylum seekers to Democratic-run cities, in an effort to send a message to his political opponents about security issues at the U.S.-Mexico border. These efforts have been sharply criticized, as it has emerged that the migrants have often been confused and led onto buses under dubious pretenses, though Texas has claimed that they are being sent to places where they have contacts to meet....

In a news release Thursday, Abbott said that he issued an executive order “authorizing and empowering” the two entities to begin returning the migrants. He blamed the move on the Biden administration’s decisions to end the Trump administration–era Title 42 migrant expulsions and a policy commonly referred to as “Remain in Mexico.” “While President Biden refuses to do his job and enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress, the State of Texas is once again stepping up and taking unprecedented action to protect Americans and secure our southern border,” Abbott said in a statement....

The France star was heavily linked with the LaLiga champions before the World Cup but revealed in June he would be staying at the Wanda Metropolitano through a video message entitled ‘The Decision’. Griezmann agonised for some time over his future, with Barca reportedly ready to pay his €100millon release clause in order to add him to an attack that already features Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele....

Griezmann, 27, has been linked with a move to the Premier League giants, as well as LaLiga leaders Barcelona. The forward said it would be great to play with France team-mate and United star Pogba every day, but he played down a possible switch to Old Trafford. “If we could have this every day,” Pogba said on Canal+ as the pair interviewed each other. Griezmann responded: “It would be nice....

Not just about the importance of eating his vegetables, but about knowing history. And because his dad was a baseball player, baseball was often used to teach the lessons. “Growing up, there were certain people in the household we talked about,” Griffey told The Sporting News in a Zoom interview this week. “It was Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente … those are names who were brought up at the dinner table....

The Uruguay international will make only his seventh Premier League start when Wolves visit the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, yet his importance to Unai Emery’s rapidly improving team is clear. Operating in central midfield, Torreira has offered a combative presence, providing his back four with protection while his use of the ball has been similarly impressive. Other players in Emery’s line-up may have provided more spectacular moments during the Gunners’ 15-game unbeaten run....

To see if the Quattro outshears Gillette’s top razor, NEWSWEEK recently conducted a shave-off. A half-dozen male staffers each did half his face with a Quattro and half with a Mach 3 Turbo, then asked women to rub both sides. All six testers (who normally use Gillettes) thought the Mach 3 Turbo was more navigable, glided better and provided a more comfortable shaving experience. (Schick engineering vice president Dave VerNooy responds: “It will take a couple of shaves to adjust to the [Quattro’s] design....

The party took place at a Los Olivos nightclub on Saturday, according to the Peruvian Interior Ministry. The nightclub, Thomas Restobar, operated against national public health regulations that set daily curfews and prohibit large gatherings to reduce transmission of the coronavirus. Neighbors called local law enforcement to the venue, and its violation led the National Police to arrest at least 22 people in attendance. Health authorities administered COVID-19 diagnostic tests to the group of individuals taken into custody on Saturday....

The Wisconsin university issued a letter to fraternity and sorority members on Friday informing them of the infections, although they did not specify the number of students who had been infected with coronavirus. “Multiple students on this trip have tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 and many others are reporting similar symptoms,” G. Patrick Kelly, the University Health Services’ interim medical director, said in the letter. “These symptoms include fatigue, cough, fever, nausea, and shortness of breath....

In the 1970s and ’80s, when the majority of today’s adult survivors of childhood cancer were treated, pediatric oncologists were focused first and foremost on saving their patients, despite the toxic cost. Children with leukemia, for example, routinely received radiation to their heads and spines to prevent cancer cells from infiltrating the fluid around their brains. While the treatment helped contain the cancer, it also damaged healthy neurons, leading to learning disabilities or attention problems later on in some patients....

Mayock already has the power dynamic between him and Gruden figured out following his appointment in late December. The Raiders GM said he does not have a problem giving Gruden the last word. “In all honesty, Jon’s got [the] final say, if it ever comes to that, and I’ve got zero problems with that,” Mayock told ESPN on Monday.
