As California’s historic drought continues into its fourth year, the state’s forests are being hit hard by years of below-average precipitation. According to a new study conducted by the U.S. Forest Service, at least 12.5 million trees in California’s national forests have died during the current drought — adding more brittle, dry vegetation to areas already threatened by potentially explosive wildfires.
“The situation is incendiary,” William Patzert, a climatologist for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told the Los Angeles Times. “The national forest is stressed out.” Continue reading “At Least 12 Million Trees Are Dead Because Of California’s Drought”

WASHINGTON – A North Carolina veteran very much alive is fighting for his life following a clerical error that resulted in his family getting a document from the departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense stating he had died.
The notices, along with the government’s condolences, came with two checks to help pay for burial costs for Robert Pressley — but because the system now says Pressley is deceased, his benefits reportedly have been terminated. Continue reading “VA claims living veteran is dead, sends burial check, cuts benefits”

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in a variety of products for many decades. It is well worth repeating that one of the more dangerous variants of PFASs that was formerly found in Teflon until it was replaced by a similar substance which may also be toxic. But that’s not the only place it’s found.
This has been the case with a variety of other toxic chemicals in use today whose substitutes have been determined to be even more harmful than the original one. The real problem with PFASs is that they are now found in a good number of popular and commonly used products.

If after last week’s Bridgegate indictments you thought Chris Christie was finally done as the focus of government investigations, think again. The Republican governor’s administration in New Jersey is facing a whole new inquiry—this one involving hundreds of millions of dollars, and not just blocked-off bridge lanes.
At issue are the fees being paid by New Jersey’s beleaguered public pension system to Wall Street firms. In recent years, Christie’s officials have shifted more of the retirement savings of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public workers into the hands of private financial firms. That has substantially increased the management fees paid by taxpayers to those firms. Indeed, while Christie says the pension system cannot afford to maintain current retirement benefits, pension fees paid to financial firms have quadrupled to $600 million a year—or $1.5 billion in total since he took office in 2010.

Ok, ok. This is for real. Reading to your child “unfairly” advantages your child over children who don’t get read to. You see, your child should be a blithering automaton like the rest of the kids out there.
What’s fair? What’s unfair? Who defines what is fair? This professor who thinks that maybe abolishing the family (I’m not joking) is a keen idea? I don’t think so. Continue reading “Professor: If You Read To Your Kids, You’re ‘Unfairly Disadvantaging’ Others”

According to a recent study published in the journal Physiology and Behavior, driving while dehydrated is just as dangerous as driving drunk.
In addition to drivers not bringing adequate beverages on long road trips, many do not stop intermittently to drink fluids when thirsty. In a haste to reach their destination, some drivers avoid all food and drink throughout their road journey. Doing so, however, may prove to be a neglectful habit that can endanger themselves, other occupants, as well as other drivers on the road.
