Two Texas universities included in Forbes' 'new Ivy League' list
University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) and Rice University in Houston have been recognized by Forbes magazine as being among the top universities in the United States, similar to the prestigious Ivy League institutions. Forbes developed their own criteria for this ranking, excluding the traditional Ivy League schools and other well-known universities. Schools were evaluated based on factors like attracting high-achieving students, employer satisfaction, and admissions selectivity. UT Austin and Rice University are joined on the Forbes' list by other well-respected public universities like the University of Michigan and University of Virginia, along with private institutions like Johns Hopkins University and Carnegie Mellon University.

F1 now makes 3 stops a season in the United States. Could Miami become a victim of oversaturation?
Formula 1 is back in the United States for the first time in six months and the first stop is the Miami Grand Prix, the race that was supposed to be the American showpiece. But the sparkling debut of Las Vegas last November was rated as one of the best races of the 2023 season, and Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, is a stalwart event that caters to passionate F1 fans. Miami was the big party when it debuted in 2022 but the question is: Has its status fallen enough that Sunday's race is simply just the first of three events in what has traditionally been NASCAR country?
