Water in Maui pond turns a shocking shade of pink

Officials in Hawaii are trying to understand what is causing a coastal pond on Maui to turn pink. There are some indications that drought may be to blame. U.S. Fish and Wildlife staff at the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge have been monitoring the water since Oct. 30. pic.twitter.com/3kHOT8xtew— The Associated Press (@AP) November 10, 2023 (CNN) — A pond in Hawaii looks like something right out of a fairy tale. Water at the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, one of the few coastal salt marshes on the island of Maui, has been bright pink since at least October 30, officials say, after its salt content surged amid an extreme drought.Water samples sent to the University of Hawaii suggest that halobacteria is behind the pond’s new magenta hue, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.Halobacteria are single-celled organisms that thrive in very salty water, like the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea.

New speaker scrambles as gov’t shutdown approaches

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:09 GMT

By Stephen Groves and Kevin Freking | Associated PressWASHINGTON — With just a week left to avert a government shutdown, new House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing his first big test as he tries to win House Republican support for a short-term funding plan — a task that looks increasingly difficult amid stubborn divisions in the party over federal spending.Federal agencies are making plans for a shutdown that would shutter government services and halt paychecks for millions of federal workers and military troops.It’s a disruption that Johnson — just two weeks into his job running the House — has said he wants to avoid. Yet House lawmakers left Washington for the weekend without a plan in hand after several setbacks. Johnson is still sounding out support among Republicans about what to do and is expected to unveil funding legislation over the weekend, according to Republicans granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.The shrinking calendar gives Johnson, a Louisiana Rep...

Starting Sunday, COVID protection may cost Californians

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:09 GMT

Starting this weekend, Californians may face additional costs for COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and testing outside their health plan network — a potential unwelcome surprise for those who’ve put off that shot but plan to get it before Thanksgiving.Under the federal public health emergency, medical plans were required to provide the shots, treatments and tests to people without added costs. That federal health emergency ended May 11, but California law required plans to continue covering COVID vaccines, treatments and testing even outside their networks for six months after the health emergency expired.Now that moment has come, and starting Sunday, those who seek COVID care outside of their health plan networks — which might happen if your provider doesn’t have the vaccine in stock, or appointments are backed up — may end up having to pay for it.“After November 11, which is six months after the end of the public health emergency, enrollees can be ...

A McDonald’s restaurant that some customers described as the cornerstone of a Potomac, Maryland, community is expected to close its doors at the end of next month. An online petition to keep the restaurant open said that Edens, which owns the shopping center, is refusing to renew the McDonald’s lease for a “reasonable duration to accommodate the owner’s renovation demands.”The petition was taped to the walls near the entrance of the McDonald’s on Friday afternoon and has been signed over 1,000 times since it was posted Thursday.A petition to save the Potomac, Maryland, McDonald’s.

Jets’ defense remains a steady, playmaking force while the offense struggles to find its way

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:43:09 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Robert Saleh raised some eyebrows a few weeks ago when he declared the New York Jets have “embarrassed” some of the NFL’s top quarterbacks this season.That bold statement by the Jets’ head coach wasn’t far-fetched then. And it still holds true.While the Jets’ offense has struggled to do much of anything, the defense has more than held up its end as one of the top units in football — and is a major reason why New York enters its game Sunday night at Las Vegas at 4-4 and in the playoff hunt.“They’re obviously playing lights out,” quarterback Zach Wilson said of the defense, “and we have to be better for them.”The Jets held the Chargers’ Justin Herbert to a career-low 136 yards passing last Monday night in New York’s 27-6 loss to Los Angeles. He was just the latest quarterback to have a tough time against the Jets, who have also made the likes of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts look rather ordinary.They will take...
