Cece Linder was living in a 770-square-foot apartment outside Washington, D.C., last spring when the area went into lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. In May 2020, after a few months of both living and working in the small space, Linder decided to leave the capital area and move into the 2,000-square-foot (186-square-meter) beachside home she jointly owns with her parents in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Now she gets to see the sunrise over the water each morning before...
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration announced the first round of technology partners participating in a new initiative for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund – a program that will allow eligible restaurants and other food establishments to access the RRF application or data they need to fill out the application through their trusted point-of-sale service providers. SBA announced partnerships with Clover, NCR Corporation, Square and Toast in this effort to provide a customer-centric approach to the del...
WASHINGTON (AP) - America's population growth has declined to its slowest rate since the Great Depression, the Census Bureau said Monday, while the nation's political center of gravity keeps shifting further to the Republican-led South and West. Texas, Florida and other Sun Belt states are gaining congressional seats as chillier climes like New York and Ohio lose them. Altogether, the U.S. population rose to 331,449,281 last year, the Census Bureau said, a 7.4% increase that...
HAWTHORNE - Hawthorne-based SpaceX successfully launched another group of astronauts into orbit early this morning for an eventual rendezvous with the International Space Station -- becoming the first launch involving a previously used spacecraft and rocket. The launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft Endeavour had been scheduled for about 3:15 a.m. California time Thursday from Cape Canaveral in Florida. But bad weather in the launch zone pushed the mission until 2:49 a.m. California time Friday. ``3.. 2.. 1.. and...
By SAMUEL PETREQUIN BRUSSELS (AP) - American tourists could soon be visiting continental Europe again, more than a year after the European Union restricted travel to the 27-nation bloc to a bare minimum to contain the coronavirus. EU officials said Monday they are completing plans to allow Americans back this summer, depending on the course of the outbreak on both sides of the Atlantic. The EU Commission, the EU's executive arm, will make a proposal soon to its member states...
WASHINGTON (AP) - Fourteen-year-old Brandi Levy was having that kind of day where she just wanted to scream. So she did, in a profanity-laced posting on Snapchat that has, improbably, ended up before the Supreme Court in the most significant case on student speech in more than 50 years. At issue is whether public schools can discipline students over something they say off-campus. The topic is especially meaningful in a time of remote learning because of the coronavirus...
NASA's experimental helicopter Ingenuity rose into the thin air above the dusty red surface of Mars Monday, April 19, achieving the first powered flight by an aircraft on another planet. The triumph was hailed as a Wright brothers moment. The mini 4-pound helicopter even carried a bit of wing fabric from the Wright Flyer that made similar history at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903. It was a brief hop – just 39 seconds and 10 feet – but accomplished all the major milestones...
Police faced gunfire as they responded to reports of a possible gunman at a Tennessee high school Monday, April 12, leaving one person dead and an officer wounded, authorities said. No one else was killed or wounded at Austin-East Magnet High School in Knoxville, Tennessee, a city about 180 miles east of Nashville, police said. A male has been detained. Police said they responded to the school around 3:15 p.m. and when they encountered a male with a gun, shots were fired....
KENOSHA, Wis. – The man in custody in connection with a shooting at a southeastern Wisconsin tavern that left three men dead and three others injured was involved in a fight at the bar before coming back with a handgun and opening fire, authorities said Monday, April 19. Rakayo Alandis Vinson, 24, appeared in court on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide for the early Sunday shooting at the Somers House Tavern in the village of Somers. Kenosha County Court C...
PASADENA – NASA officials said today they're targeting Monday for a historic flight of a small helicopter on Mars that was postponed last weekend due to a technical problem. The 4-pound helicopter named Ingenuity is now scheduled for approximately 12:30 a.m. PDT Monday. A livestream will begin at 3:15 a.m. PDT as the helicopter team prepares to receive the data downlink in the Space Flight Operations Facility at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, NASA said S...
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The jury reached a verdict Tuesday at the murder trial of former Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, the Black man who was pinned to the pavement with a knee on his neck in a case that set off a furious reexamination of racism and policing in the U.S. The verdict, arrived at after about 10 hours of deliberations over two days, was to be read late in the afternoon in a city on edge against the possibility of more unrest like that that erupted...
PASADENA - The Ingenuity helicopter, designed and built at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, successfully completed a brief but historic flight above the surface of Mars early today. After being delayed by a technical issue last week, the tiny, solar-powered four-pound helicopter became the first aircraft in history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet. The Ingenuity team at the JPL confirmed the flight's success after receiving data from the... Full story
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say they have apprehended a person in connection with a shooting at a busy tavern in southeastern Wisconsin early Sunday that left three men dead and three men injured. Kenosha County Sheriff's Department spokesman Sgt. David Wright said the suspect is facing a charge of first-degree intentional homicide, with additional criminal charges likely after further investigation. Authorities said earlier they weren't sure if there was more than one s... Full story
U.S. colleges hoping for a return to normalcy next fall are weighing how far they should go in urging students to get the COVID-19 vaccine, including whether they should – or legally can – require it. Universities, including Rutgers, Brown, Cornell and Northeastern, recently told students they must get vaccinated before returning to campus next fall. They hope to achieve herd immunity on campus, which they say would allow them to loosen spacing restrictions in classrooms and d...
A group of 24 scientists issued an open letter Wednesday, April 7, demanding a full investigation into the origins of COVID-19 that includes a thorough examination into the possibility the virus could have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China. The scientists said the World Health Organization's report on the origins of the pandemic, which concluded the lab leak hypothesis was extremely unlikely, "failed to reach some most basic standards of credible analysis and assessment," not...
BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. – Police clashed with protesters for a second night in the Minneapolis suburb where an officer who authorities say apparently intended to fire a Taser, not a handgun, fatally shot a Black man wanted on a warrant who was fleeing by car during a traffic stop. Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon described the shooting death Sunday, April 11, of 20-year-old Daunte Wright as “an accidental discharge.” The shooting sparked protests and unrest in an area already on edge because of the trial of the first...
LIVERMORE – Planetary defense researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory continue to validate their ability to accurately simulate how they might deflect an Earth-bound asteroid in a study that will be published in the April issue of the American Geophysical Union journal Earth and Space Science. The study, led by LLNL physicist Tané Remington, also identified sensitivities in the code parameters that can help researchers working to design a modeling plan for th...
Former NFL player Phillip Adams fatally shot five people including a prominent doctor, his wife and their two grandchildren before later killing himself, authorities in South Carolina said Thursday, April 8. York County Sheriff Kevin Tolson said at a news conference that investigators had not yet determined a motive in the mass shooting Wednesday. "There's nothing right now that makes sense to any of us," Tolson said. Dr. Robert Lesslie, 70, and his wife, Barbara, 69, were...
The U.S. Supreme Court is telling California that it can't enforce coronavirus-related restrictions that have limited home-based religious worship including Bible studies and prayer meetings. The order from the court Friday, April 9, is the latest in a recent string of cases in which the high court has barred officials from enforcing some coronavirus-related restrictions applying to religious gatherings. Five conservative justices agreed that California restrictions that...
Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania said it is "very concerning" that the federal infectious disease research organization led by Dr. Anthony Fauci bypassed federal oversight of a grant that funded a lab in Wuhan, China, to genetically modify bat-based coronaviruses. Infectious disease experts said the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases' grant with the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance, which involved the transfer of $600,000 to the Wuhan...

A border wall. Smugglers. Small children being dropped into America in the darkness. A grainy video released Wednesday, March 31, by authorities – its figures visible only in ghostly white outline, its stark storyline dramatic and obvious – captures, in mere seconds, the dangers for migrant children at the southern U.S. border. A man straddling a 14-foot barrier near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, lowers a toddler while holding onto one arm. With the child dangling, he lets go....
The gunman who killed four people and critically wounded a fifth at a Southern California office building knew all the victims and apparently before opening fire chained shut the gates to two entrances, delaying police from getting inside, authorities said Thursday, April 1. Among the victims of the “horrific massacre” Wednesday afternoon, March 31, was a 9-year-old boy who was found cradled in the arms of a woman believed to be his mother, Orange County district attorney Todd Spitzer said. The woman was the only sur...
The National Institutes of Health has “systematically thwarted” government oversight of dangerous pathogen research, Richard H. Ebright, professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The P3CO Review Framework was created in 2017 after a three-year pause on government funding of research that intentionally makes pathogens more deadly or transmissible. An NIH grant that involved the modification of bat-based coronaviruses and the transfer of $600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virolo...
