1+ min ago (218+ words) Under veteran coach John Calipari, the Arkansas Razorbacks secured the No. 10 recruiting class in the 2026 cycle, according to ESPN. This adds serious firepower to the program. The class is headlined by five-star wing JaShawn Andrews (No. 12) and four-star forward Abdou Toure (No. 31). Andrews brings athleticism, perimeter instincts and increasing shooting range. An ideal fit for Calipari's high-tempo, space-and-drive system. Toure supplies physical tools, finishing ability, and a long-term defensive presence. The Razorbacks' ability to keep Andrews home and beat out major competition is a major recruiting win. Arkansas' placement in the top 10 reinforces the program's forward momentum. After landing the No. 3 class in 2025, this follow-through signals that Calipari's blueprint is intact. With this class, expectations for forthcoming seasons should escalate. If Andrews and Toure develop as projected and integrate well into the rotation, the Razorbacks will be positioned for a…...

Alongside skepticism toward routine childhood and some adult vaccines, veterinarians are seeing the same hesitation spread to pets. What was once a routine part of preventive care has become a fraught interaction " and the implications extend well beyond animal health. The American Animal Hospital Association and the Feline Veterinary Medical Association issue the nation's standard vaccination guidelines. "Core" vaccines " rabies, distemper, and parvovirus for dogs; rabies and feline leukemia for cats " are recommended for nearly all animals. "Non-core" vaccines depend on a pet's lifestyle and geography. These recommendations evolve as data and experience accumulate. The vaccine for leptospirosis, a potentially fatal bacterial infection, was recently upgraded to "core" status after the disease proved to be more widespread than previously believed.
