Since then, I have advised and consulted with 19 different governments on implementing legal cannabis frameworks—there is something about this moment that feels like legalization is just around the corner. As of 2021, 18 states and Washington, D.C., have legalized adult-use cannabis, and an astounding 36 states and D....

The Capitals right winger once again blurred the lines of what’s acceptable in Monday’s 6-3 win over the Rangers, not only punching New York forward Pavel Buchnevich’s head in the crease after play was stopped, but also slamming left winger Artemi Panarin to the ice after he came to Buchnevich and Ryan Strome’s defense. Strome went after Wilson after he punched Buchnevich in the middle period while the Rangers were on the power play....

The Flyers (24-17-8) become the latest to try Wednesday at Capital One Center, a rude welcome back from the All-Star break. But they may have some trouble on that front after starting goaltender Brian Elliott was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a lower-body injury.

The interests of the invited guests, mostly prosperous looking men in dark blue suits, were well-represented when congressional leaders put the finishing touches on the bill, preserving Bush’s dividend tax cut while a $400 child credit for millions of low-wage families was eliminated. It was one of those nuggets that exposes the truth. Bush’s tax cut was never about economic stimulus, or the rebate would have been directed toward the people who will spend it, not the rich who just get richer....

For his defiance, Moore has become a home-state hero, paving the way for a future run for a U.S. Senate seat. For her brave stand, Melinda Maddox has been run out of town. “He’s the most popular man in Alabama, and I am the least popular woman,” says Maddox, a plaintiff in the lawsuit that declared Moore’s monument unconstitutional and called it “nothing less than an obtrusive year-round religious display....

The driver, a 66-year-old male, was successfully able to escape the vehicle in time. Around 5:30 p.m., the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS) responded to the parking lot of a Trader Joe’s and Silver Diner in Rockville, Chief Spokesperson Pete Piringer told Newsweek. Shortly after the initial call, Piringer tweeted out multiple images and videos of the scene.

The caravan, which has assembled in the city of Tapachula near the border of Guatemala, has filed a petition to leave the area, an activist said. However, they plan to leave the site at 6 a.m. on Saturday regardless of the petition’s status. “[Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM)] has left us no alternative but to march toward the center of the country,” caravan organizer Irineo Mujica told the Mexican newspaper, Diario del Sur....

At very least, it appears the Buckeyes are trying to even out the playing field on the quarterback quandary by injuring Cardale Jones. Ok, ok, that’s not really the case. But Jones’ teammates did jump him (jokingly, of course) in the locker room. It’s hard to tell which one he is in the video, but I’m hoping he’s the one in the helmet.

These tests are most useful in diagnosing myocardial infarctions (heart attacks), but they are now also being used to detect heart cell damage from other causes as well—such as from traumatic injury or myocarditis.

From the minute she regained consciousness in the ICU, Kenney, who is married and has three children, wanted to know what went wrong. A nurse told her she’d probably had an allergic reaction to the anesthesia. But, says Kenney, “I knew intuitively that wasn’t true.” Even today, nobody knows precisely what happened, but the most likely explanation, says van Pelt, is that the needle inadvertently punctured a vein. Van Pelt hadn’t been clumsy or inattentive and neither he nor Kenney believes he made an error–but he had been at the helm....

Or maybe we should call it the souvenir strip or the tchotchke channel. At the Mexico City airport, vendors are prepared to satisfy everyone’s official plastic-tumbler and gimme-cap needs. Do 10 different eclipse T shirts sound excessive? In Hawaii, some 60 styles are selling briskly, along with “official” eclipse coconuts, wine, ashtrays, pins, tote bags, posters, beach towels and videos. At the Unistyle salon on the Big Island (which will be in heavy moonshadow for an impressive four minutes and 13 seconds), hairdresser Manny Martinez suggests a two-tone eclipse cut: a dyed black flattop surrounded by a corona of orangy, moussed-up spikes ($50, but Manny throws in an observation logbook and two sun filters)....
