Diversity Or Discrimination? What’s At Stake In The Harvard Admissions Lawsuit

By AUDREY McAVOY, Associated Press HONOLULU (AP) — Warren Upton, the oldest living survivor of the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the last remaining survivor of the USS Utah, has died. He was 105. Upton died Wednesday at a hospital in Los Gatos, California, after suffering a bout of pneumonia, said Kathleen Farley, the California state chair of the Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors.

There’s a chance that happens, but it’s a longshot, similar to the Dolphins’ playoff hopes. It’s been that type of frustrating season for Tagovailoa, who leads the Dolphins (7-8) into Sunday’s game at Cleveland (3-12) having completed a career-best and league-leading 72.9 percent of his passes this season. Tagovailoa was asked the possibility of establishing that completion percent record earlier this month. “That would mean a lot,” he said, “but I think for us, right now, just trying to keep the main goal, the main goal and to find a win this Sunday and go on a run that we’ve been talking about in that locker room as a team, that would be a little more special than any other record I would say.” That didn’t happen.

Don’t listen to me say what 2024 was like. Listen to them. “Everybody’s different, every coach is different, and it seems to me, as you age, you get a different perspective on life and what’s important and valuable. I need to win one. It’s not going to change the section of my life that’s not related to hockey at all.
