A community near Scottsdale, Arizona, is running out of water. Amid the finger-pointing, the real question is: how many developments will be next?

The White House email to Gov. Beshear's office last week said Chad Meredith would be nominated to a federal judgeship in Kentucky the following day.

A 10-year-old girl was denied an abortion in Ohio after the Supreme Court ruled last week that it was overturning Roe v. Wade, demonstrating the tangible impacts that the high court’s decision is having on patients seeking access to the medical procedure.

A graduate student sequenced rats all over Manhattan, and discovered how the city affects their genetic diversity.

That said it will still be progressives’ fault if he is not re-elected.

Parents who spoke at Tuesday's meeting argued if they are not notified about a queer student, it's a violation of their parental rights. After three hours of fiery public debate, the Leon County School Board unanimously approved its "LGBTQ Inclusive School Guide" Tuesday night. What drew the most debate was a provision that a school will notify parents — by form — if a student who is "open about their gender identity" is in a physical education class or on an overnight trip. Some teachers and students during the Tuesday night meeting said the policy will “out” LGBTQ+ students — revealing their sexual orientation or gender identity without their permission. The policy language does explicitly say a student’s sexual orientation, gender identity or expression “should not be shared with others without their input and permission.”

INDIANOLA – The new crop of workers arrived with clipped accents and small khaki shorts. Richard Strong remembers the young men – farmers back home – had never seen a massive 28,000-pound tractor until traveling some 8,000 miles to Mississippi. As kids, Richard and his brother, Gregory, earned calloused palms chopping cotton in the swelter of southern summers. As adults, they spent 24 years filling acres with cotton, soybeans and corn on Pitts Farms – just like their daddy had. “Farming is actually in our DNA,” said Richard Strong, now 51. “I could close my eyes and drive a tractor.” But the brothers haven’t been on a tractor or in the fields in over two years. They say they unknowingly trained themselves out of jobs when the Pitts family hired South Africans through a visa program. The Pitts paid their foreign workforce nearly $12 an hour while their local workers – usually Black men – made just $7.25 to $9.50 per hour, according to a Department of Labor audit that spanned 2020 and 2021. The audit also found four local workers lost out on shifts when the temporary workers arrived. But the Strongs and other Black workers say the pay gap existed from the first day the South Africans started at the family-owned farm several years before. Records show the Pitts started seeking foreign workers as early as 2014. Locals got an occasional pay bump on the weekends, but mostly took home federal minimum wage as the farm started giving them fewer shifts, according to years of paystubs obtained by Mississippi Today. The Strongs and six others – who worked for the Pitts for more than 100 combined years – say they were pushed out of their jobs completely.

SAN FRANCISCO — Mark Zuckerberg has a message for Meta employees: Buckle up for tough times ahead. At an internal meeting on Thursday, Mr. Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, said the Silicon Valley company was facing one of the “worst downturns that we’ve seen in recent history,” according to copies of his comments that were shared with The New York Times. He told Meta’s 77,800 workers that they should prepare to do more work with fewer resources and that their performances would be graded more intensely than previously. Mr. Zuckerberg added that the company — which owns Facebook, Instagram and other apps — was lowering its hiring targets. Meta now plans to bring on 6,000 to 7,000 new engineers this year, down from a previous goal of around 10,000, he said. In some areas, hiring will pause entirely, especially of junior engineers, though the head count will increase in other parts of the business, he said. “I think some of you might decide that this place isn’t for you, and that self-selection is OK with me,” Mr. Zuckerberg said on the call. “Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here.” ADVERTISEMENT

And actually much worse than initially reported.

“Huge sauropods faced more of a challenge in cooling down than warming up. They had active lifestyles and had to feed their metabolisms constantly,” says Wiemann. “In the end, these enormous creatures had metabolisms similar to modern birds, which still today have the highest in the animal kingdom.”

I'm sitting in Jakob Vinther's office, trying to get my head around whether tyrannosaurs had – there's no easy way to write this – penises. "So somebody has to be…" I stutter, becoming increasingly flustered. "…penetrated", finishes my host matter-of-factly.

Then-President Donald Trump angrily demanded to go to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and berated his protective detail when he didn't get his way, according to two Secret Service sources who say they heard about the incident from multiple agents, including the driver of the presidential SUV where it occurred.

“We expect sabotage, crab sabotage. Because there’s obviously a battle going on between Jason and the crabs at Axial Seamount,” said Oregon State University volcanologist Bill Chadwick, the head scientist on the ship. The saga starts on a Tuesday, our second day out at sea, and the ROV — which stands for “remotely operated vehicle” — called Jason is cruising along the ocean floor. It’s got these titanium arms with pincher hands that can pick up things off the bottom, move sensors around, maybe even play the violin if given the opportunity. It’s pretty impressive. “It looks kind of easy, but it’s actually really hard. Moving the vehicle just right. Using the arm to do really delicate tasks,” Chadwick said. ROV Jason and its arms are controlled by a pilot in a tricked-out shipping container that acts as a control room up on deck — everyone just calls this space “the van.” The van is dark and cold and serene. There are video feeds from Jason’s cameras covering one wall. They show the parts of the ocean floor as Jason glides over them — lava flows, pillars, cliffs, hydrothermal vents — some which no human has ever seen before. We spent a lot of time in the van. The research team had just dropped overboard a specialized seismometer designed to reveal things like the shape of the magma chamber under the volcano. That seismometer is so sensitive to vibration, engineer Ted Koczynski said it needs a Smart Car-sized plastic dome over the top to protect it. “The whole idea of that shield is to stop any currents from getting in and tweaking that seismometer,” said Koczynski, who, when not at sea, is based at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in New York. It was Jason’s job to pick up the dome from the seafloor with those titanium claws and drop it down over the seismometer. A group of us were in the van behind the pilot watching Jason work. The ROV was just about to place the dome over the instrument. Then we saw it. While Jason had its back turned, a big orange spider crab — probably about two feet across — crawled into the instrument and took up residence on top of the seismometer. “I didn’t put the crab into my dive plan,” deadpanned Bill Chadwick, because he knew this was going to be a problem. A seismometer sensitive enough to respond to a slight current is definitely sensitive enough to feel the tippy taps of little crabby feet. After some discussion of strategy, Operation: Crab Extraction began. Because the crab was so far into the sensor housing, there was worry that Jason’s claw could damage the instruments. So, they decided to try the “Slurp,” Jason’s powerful vacuum hose. This prompted Jason’s pilot, Tito Collasius, to utter the best sentence on the cruise so far: “Stand by to slurp.”

To combat "Hamptons bladder," New Yorkers who summer in the exclusive Long Island enclave are seeking a pair of specialized medical procedures: prostate artery embolization, which reduces the size of the prostate in men, and "bladder Botox," which decreases urinary frequency for women. "A lot of people have problems with this issue. They come out to the Hamptons and have to stop four or five times on the way, but can't find a restroom," said Dr. David Shusterman, a New York City urologist who's been advertising the procedures with the tagline "Race to the Hamptons, not to the bathroom."

A huge fight that took place among a crowd of passengers aboard the Carnival Magic was allegedly ignited by allegations of cheating, according to a passenger who shared video of the fight with Fox News Digital. An alleged threesome among guests aboard the vessel caused a rift after one person’s significant others discovered the tryst on the trip, according to the witness. The onlooker, Theresa James, who identified herself as a travel agent, said she saw the fight from her cabin door. She told the Fox News outlet that the melee began about 2 a.m. near the ship’s dance club and casino on the fifth floor. The viral video that’s been shared on Twitter showcased the rumble, which involved beer bottles being smashed and a possible cut injury, James said. The brawl lasted about an hour and involved an estimated 60 people, according to the travel agent.

A new state law takes effect Friday that allows Minnesotans 21 and older to buy certain edibles and beverages containing small amounts of THC, the ingredient in marijuana that produces the high associated with the drug. Here are answers to questions about Minnesota's new law. What kinds of products will be legal under the new law? The new law allows the sale and purchase of edibles — such as gummies, hard candy or chocolates — and beverages that contain up to 5 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per serving and 50 milligrams per package. Products containing THC, as well as those containing cannabidiol (CBD), must be clearly labeled and can only be sold to those 21 and older. Edibles must be in child-proof and tamper-evident packages and carry the label "Keep this product out of reach of children." Serving sizes must also be clearly defined. THC products sold in Minnesota must be derived from legally-certified hemp, which contains no more than 0.3% THC by weight, according to the law. Marijuana flower and all THC-containing products derived from it remain illegal in Minnesota for recreational use. The law places no limit on how many CBD and THC products can be purchased and does not regulate who can sell them.

BOISE, Idaho — Gubernatorial candidate Ammon Bundy and associate Diego Rodriguez have avoided a lawsuit from St. Luke’s Health System that came after a child health and welfare case prompted massive outcry from Bundy’s followers, leading to protests and lockdowns. Now, St. Luke’s and their lawyers are taking more action to get Bundy and Rodriguez to reply. Rodriguez may no longer reside in Idaho and cannot be found, and Bundy hasn’t filed a response at all, according to motion documents filed by St. Luke’s and their representatives.
