“Disney has alienated a lot of people now,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Thursday during a press conference in West Palm Beach, according to CNN. “And so the political influence they’re used to wielding, I think has dissipated. And so the question is, why would you want to have special privileges in the law at all? And I don’t think that we should.” Talks about revoking the Reedy Creek Improvement Act of 1967 circulated after the governor signed the Parental Rights in Education legislation, or as it’s better known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, into law this week....

Chris Hummer of 247Sports initially reported the news, citing sources close to the situation. Uiagalelei struggled in each of the last two seasons, particularly in 2022, prompting Tigers coach Dabo Swinney to periodically pull him in favor of backup Cade Klubnik. Swinney regardless stuck with Uiagalelei as his starter before ultimately pulling him one final time in Saturday’s ACC championship game against North Carolina.

Where does the truth lay? Probably somewhere in the middle. Let’s look at what the science says. Researchers have found that high glycemic index foods (think white bread, potatoes, and sugary junk foods) seem to make acne worse. A diet rich in low glycemic index foods, which includes wheat bread, wheat pasta, legumes, and other whole grains, seems to improve acne.

Examples Examples of statins include Lipitor (atorvastatin), Lescol (fluvastatin), Mevacor (lovastatin), Pravachol (pravastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin), and Zocor (simvastatin).

However, even in states with some of the most restrictive bans — such as Alabama, where illegal abortions are classified as a Class-A felony— abortion bills still allow for an exemption: in the case of the life of the mother.

Every year, about 618 people in the United States die as a result of exposure to extreme heat. However, experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] caution, that number is likely to rise precipitously as climate change continues to alter weather patterns. By 2090, for example, California is likely to record two to seven times more annual heat deaths than it does now. Earlier this summer, the Pacific Northwest was hit by a historic heat wave that melted power lines, mangled roads, broke local temperature records, and flooded hospital emergency rooms with people suffering from heat-related illnesses, according to Reuters....
