A Columbia University professor said his school had submitted questionable data to U.S. News & World Report’s influential college rankings. This year, Columbia rose to No. 2 in the ratings, below only Princeton, and tied with Harvard and M.I.T. But Michael Thaddeus, a math professor, challenged the university in a critique on his website, calling key data submitted by Columbia [“inaccurate, dubious or highly misleading.”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkFjS8P0TdaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wMy8xNy91cy9jb2x1bWJpYS11bml2ZXJzaXR5LXJhbmsuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIyMDMxNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD01NjA1NiZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD04NTg2MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYiq8rzNiQ8BA_1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) Thaddeus also questioned the overall value of such rankings, which are used by millions of prospective college students and their parents. Columbia said it stood by its data. Rosalía in North Hollywood, Calif., in February.Carlos Jaramillo for The New York Times 8. Rosalía, the wildly popular Spanish pop singer, will release her new album, “Motomami,” on Friday. With influences like Kate Bush and Cuban balladry as well as collaborations with the Weeknd and Billie Eilish, Rosalía, 29, is [one of the world’s most watched young artists](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkFjS8P0TdaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wMy8xNy9hcnRzL211c2ljL3Jvc2FsaWEtbW90b21hbWkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIyMDMxNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD01NjA1NiZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD04NTg2MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYiq8rzNiQ8BA_1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), though her transformation of flamenco has led to charges of cultural appropriation.

But the magpies weren’t having it. In one case, a bird in a tracker stayed still as another magpie worked at the bird’s harness with its beak. Within 20 minutes, it found the tiny clasp and snipped it off. Within three days, the birds removed all five devices.

They named it Doug. But after submitting a slice to the Guinness Book of World Records in an effort to beat the heaviest-potato record, the couple received disappointing news. A DNA test revealed that it was not a potato but “the tuber of a type of gourd.” (A tuber is any kind of swollen underground stem.) One theory is that the growth sprang from hybridized cucumber seeds that developed an infection or disease. Doug currently sits in a cryogenic storage facility on the couple’s farm, awaiting his fate. Have a record-setting night. Eve Edelheit compiled photos for this briefing.
