Saturday, April 20, 2024 12:50AM In a classroom at the Center for Advanced Research and Technology, students are finalizing their posters and projects for an upcoming symposium. CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) — In a classroom at the Center for Advanced Research and Technology (CART) groups of students are gathered around their laptops finalizing their posters and projects for an upcoming symposium. They’re all part of the Psychology and Human Behavior lab at the school. Each of the three groups we met with sent out surveys to students to collect data – and are now analyzing it based on the responses. “This is not a project you can really slack on.” Senior Estrella Aguilar said. Estrella Aguilar and her partners are looking at the link between teenage stress and sleep to see if their hypothesis is backed up by data. “Someone who is more stressed out would likely have more distress in their nightmares and, conversely, someone who has less stress has less distress in their nightmares,” Aguilar said. Miranda Caballero and her group are looking into the amount of time high school students spend on Instagram

Saturday, April 20, 2024 12:47AM The Fresno community spent Black Maternal Health Week raising awareness about the racial disparities Black women face in maternal and birthing outcomes. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The Fresno community spent Black Maternal Health Week raising awareness about the racial disparities Black women face in maternal and birthing outcomes. However, one Fresno doctor hopes the conversation continues. “It’s a serious matter,” said Dr. Christina Hiebert. “I think that in light of this, our state, especially in the state of California, has drawn attention to it and is working really hard to improve the situation.” Dr. Hiebert is the chief of Kaiser Permanente Fresno’s Birthing Center. She said — regardless of income, age and education — Black women are more likely to have serious pregnancy complications. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there. Black families are more likely to see the mom and child die during childbirth. According to Dr. Hiebert, there are multiple reasons for this dire outcome. “One is unequal access or barriers to health care. There’s also variations in the quality of care and care coordination, depending on where you’re receiving

In 2019, prosecutors charged a Florida man with killing his brother, father and mother so he could steal $200,000 to spend on a model from Bulgaria who he met online. A new Paramount+ docuseries, “CTRL+ALT+DESIRE,” investigates the triple murder. Director Colin Archdeacon joins CBS News to discuss the making of the series.

U.S. officials say Israel launched a small number of missiles at Iran on Friday in retaliation for Iran’s missile attack against Israel last week. CBS News national security contributor Sam Vinograd joins with analysis.

Niger has been home to a major U.S. airbase in the city of Agadez, some 550 miles from the capital Niamey, using it for manned and unmanned surveillance flights and other operations.

Texas state law says a child under the age of 10 doesn’t have criminal culpability, law enforcement said.

Senior U.S. officials confirmed that Israeli missiles struck Iran Friday morning, but little else is known about the extent of the attack or any potential damage. Both countries appear to be downplaying the strikes, suggesting an effort to deescalate tensions. Debora Patta has more from Jerusalem.

Klay Thompson wants us to live in the present. I think he’s living in the past. But ultimately, we should expect him to be part of the Warriors’ future. Following what was inarguably his worst performance as a professional basketball player in the Warriors’ season-ending play-in tournament loss to the Kings — a game where Thompson’s defense was as poor as his offense (and he went 0-for-10 from the floor) — it was impossible not to wonder if the pending unrestricted free agent had played his last game for the Dubs. He clearly had the same question, as he made a little show of spinning around as he walked off the court at Golden 1 Center Tuesday, taking it all in. And yet Wednesday, when asked about his future to open his end-of-season press conference, he decided to put on another little show. “We don’t want to talk about the season first?” Thompson said. “You want to talk about the future? There was a lot of games played, man. That was a pretty big accomplishment. What’s up with y’all not wanting to live in the

By Sally French | NerdWallet At the airport, long lines for check-in, security screenings and even getting food can feel like a giant waste of time — and potentially disrupt even the most meticulously planned itinerary. But with planning, you can skip some of the most annoying lines, and in some cases, get reimbursed if the line-skipping privilege requires an application fee. Here are five common airport bottlenecks and how to avoid them for free or cheap. 1. Check in It is the year 2024, which means there’s a mobile version of all sorts of travel services. That includes the ability to check in to your flight without standing in line at the airline counter. Most airlines allow you to check in for your flight directly through their mobile app or website within 24 hours of departure, allowing you to bypass the desk and proceed directly to security if you are flying with only carry-on luggage. Even if you plan to check bags, checking in online via the airline app or website can help speed up the process so all you will have to do

Robert Lloyd | Los Angeles Times (TNS) “Based on a true story” — why do we care? Does it matter whether the events of a dramatic work “really happened,” or sort of happened, more or less in the way we’re being told? Is it a come-on to prurient interests, when the subject is dark or sensational? Is it to appear educational? Is it to advertise that things that seem too incredible to be true really are true, to make what’s shocking even more shocking, or to prop up a story that can’t stand on its own? If I had a definite answer for you, there wouldn’t have been so many question marks in the preceding paragraph. All of the above, maybe. “Dragnet” changed the names to protect the innocent, but nowadays it’s the fashion to keep the names, while the facts, found wanting on their own, might get a fictional assist. In “Under the Bridge,” a limited series based on Rebecca Godfrey’s well-received 2005 book about the 1997 murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk in green and watery Victoria, British Columbia, some of the names are

Neal Justin | (TNS) Star Tribune “Dora the Explorer” has inspired many youngsters to get curious about the world beyond the borders of Sesame Street. But once your child reaches the age of 7, Dora’s adventures get a little dull. That’s when Jane Garcia should take over. The 9-year-old heroine of “Jane,” which returns Friday on Apple TV+, is one of those kids who knows more types of dinosaurs than names of Olivia Rodrigo songs. Her enthusiasm gets a bit grating, but she’s a great guide for more grown-up treks, especially with Earth Day being celebrated Monday. In this second season, Jane Garcia (Ava Louise Murchison) and her pun-loving pal David (Mason Blomberg) get super curious about pandas, wolves, armadillos and coral reefs. Instead of pretending to be princesses and cowboys, they imagine themselves in the deep sea or on the African tundra, saving creatures from the effects of climate change and poachers. After a few episodes, your children may be begging you to take them to the Amazon instead of Disney World. What makes “Jane” extra special is that it never talks down to

Authorities are investigating how a former Giants coach, now on the Colorado Rockies’ staff, made his way into the cockpit during a team charter flight from Denver to Toronto this month, according to published reports. Hensley Meulens, the Giants’ hitting coach during their run to three World Series championships a decade ago, brought attention to the situation when he posted a video on social media this week that appeared to show him sitting in one of the two pilot seats during the United Airlines flight on April 10. The video, which went viral, has been deleted. “Had some fun in the cockpit on our flight from Denver to Toronto,” Meulens, nicknamed “Bam Bam,” wrote in the video caption. “Thanks to the captain and the first officer of our United charter that allowed me this great experience.” In the video, Meulens is heard saying while gesturing to a uniformed person next to him, “Flying the plane, here to Toronto. I’m going to land the plane tonight. So relax.” The Federal Aviation Administration and United Airlines are investigating how Meulens got into the cockpit, according to the Wall
