The postseason is on: We found the easiest (and cheapest) ways to catch the NBA Playoffs this year.

Two runaway military horses bolted through central London, leaving at least 4 people and the animals injured, officials said.

“Although to some, the noise is annoying, they pose no danger to humans or pets,” the sheriff wrote. “Unfortunately, it is the sounds of nature.”

Lawmakers argue the Chinese government can use the widely popular video-sharing app as a spy tool and to covertly influence the U.S. public.

RED BLUFF — Tehama County Sheriff Dave Kain held the first in a series of town hall meetings to discuss his department’s successes, challenges and future. The sheriff’s patrol radius on any given day or shift is approximately 3,000 square miles for the around 67,000 Tehama County residents. A few years ago, the sheriff’s office had to pause some of its dispatch services due to staff shortages. Since February 2023, staffing has increased, and the county has 24-hour service, seven days a week. Since Kain took office, the department has hired three lateral officers from Portland, two from Red Bluff, one from Redding, one from Siskiyou County, one from Modoc County, and one from Trinity County. “It is unheard of for us to bring these level of people that already have street experience as deputy sheriffs to work in our community,” Kain said. “They have been cops for a long time in other jurisdictions, and they have come to our agency and that is great for us.” He promised to keep fighting to get the sheriff’s office fully staffed. As the staffing issue continues, the

“We’re making important progress with representatives of the student encampment” By Jon Haworth Wednesday, April 24, 2024 10:22AM Lindsay Tuchman reports on the protests from Morningside Heights. NEW YORK — Columbia University has said they are making “important progress” with representatives of the student encampment on campus as protests calling for the divestment of college and university funds from Israeli military operations have continued to spread on campuses across the country. The student protests — some of which have turned into around-the-clock encampments and have led to hundreds of arrests — have erupted throughout the nation following arrests and student removals at Columbia University in New York City. “We are making important progress with representatives of the student encampment on the West lawn,” Columbia University said in a statement released early Wednesday, adding that student protesters have committed to dismantling and removing a significant number of tents and that protesters will ensure that those not affiliated with Columbia will leave. Columbia University also said that student protesters in the encampment have agreed to comply with all requirements of the New York City Fire Department and

For the first time in five months, NASA engineers have received decipherable data from Voyager 1 after crafting a creative solution to fix a communication problem aboard humanity’s most distant spacecraft in the cosmos. Voyager 1 is currently about 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) away, and at 46 years old, the probe has shown multiple quirks and signs of aging in recent years. The latest issue experienced by Voyager 1 first cropped up in November 2023, when the flight data system’s telemetry modulation unit began sending an indecipherable repeating pattern of code. Voyager 1’s flight data system collects information from the spacecraft’s science instruments and bundles it with engineering data that reflects its current health status. Mission control on Earth receives that data in binary code, or a series of ones and zeroes. But since November, Voyager 1’s flight data system had been stuck in a loop. While the probe has continued to relay a steady radio signal to its mission control team on Earth over the past few months, the signal did not carry any usable data. The mission team received the first

The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday voted to ban for-profit US employers from making employees sign agreements with noncompete clauses. Such a ban could affect tens of millions of workers. President Joe Biden soon after the announcement said, “The FTC is cracking down on ‘non-compete agreements,’ contracts that employers use to prevent their workers from changing jobs even if that job will pay a few dollars more, or provide better working conditions. Workers ought to have the right to choose who they want to work for.” The FTC’s decision was the result of a 3-to-2 vote among its five commissioners Tuesday afternoon. The two commissioners who dissented from the majority said they believed the rule to be “unlawful” and “won’t survive legal challenge.” The US Chamber of Commerce has already said it will sue the FTC as early as this week for what it views as the agency exceeding its administrative authority. What the final rule will do The FTC estimates that 30 million people – one in five US workers – are bound by a noncompete clause in their current jobs. And for most

Millions of salaried workers will soon qualify for overtime pay under a final rule released by the US Department of Labor on Tuesday. The new rule raises the salary threshold under which salaried employees are eligible for overtime in two stages. The threshold will increase to the equivalent of an annual salary of $43,888, or $844 a week, starting July 1, and then to $58,656, or $1,128 a week, on January 1, 2025. About 4 million more workers will qualify for overtime when the rule is fully implemented in January, the agency estimates. In its first year, the rule is expected to result in an income transfer of about $1.5 billion from employers to workers, mainly from new overtime premiums or from pay raises to maintain the exempt status of some affected employees. “This rule will restore the promise to workers that if you work more than 40 hours in a week, you should be paid more for that time,” acting Labor Secretary Julie Su said in a statement. “Too often, lower-paid salaried workers are doing the same job as their hourly counterparts but are

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case that pits Idaho’s near-total abortion ban against a federal law that the Biden administration says requires hospitals to offer emergency abortion care in certain situations.
