Investigators say they have developed some solid leads about the attacker — and now they’re asking for the public’s help to identify the culprit.The stabbing occurred on a cold evening, March 16, between 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. in Neskowin, Ore., on a beach along the Pacific Ocean, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday.The seal began to heal, and by mid-April, it was showing no signs…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The age of athlete compensation in college sports could get a lot more complicated with a pending Supreme Court decision. A settlement in the case of House v. NCAA would allow all Division I schools to share revenue directly with student athletes if it receives final approval this month.The current system of NIL compensation, in effect since summer 2021, has faced its share of scrutiny. But universities paying athletes directly would all but erase the “amateurism” that historically defined American college sports. Former NFL and college football player Jack Brewer is heavily opposed to…

On the eastern plains of Colorado, in a county of less than 6,000 people, Lincoln Health runs the only hospital within a 75-minute drive. The facility struggles financially, given its small size and the area’s tiny population. But for over a decade, the Hugo, Colorado-based health system has remained afloat partially thanks to a surprising source: special taxes on the state’s hospitals.The taxes Lincoln pays help cover the state’s Medicaid costs and — because the federal government matches a portion of what states spend on Medicaid — enable Colorado to claim more federal money. That generally leads to more dollars for…

The Trump administration’s claims that Canada’s border is a national security threat do not stand up to scrutiny, according to an internal government report obtained by Global News. Responding to claims by Republican politicians that hundreds of suspected terrorists cross illegally into the U.S. from Canada, the report countered that such incidents were “limited.”Republican members of Congress have described Canada as “a major threat,” claiming the “porous northern border” was a crisis that needed to be addressed through legislation.“The actual statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, however, do not support these claims,” the Canadian government’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre…

ENDING CHILD HUNGER Kupka stressed that the nutrition crisis in Asia is becoming increasingly urgent, where about 19 million children are “chronically undernourished”. Malnutrition, which is an imbalance between the nutrients one’s body needs to function and the nutrients it receives, can significantly stunt children’s physical and brain development, he added.  “We also see that deficiencies in vitamins and minerals are still very common, and at the same time, we see that more and more children are overweight and obese.  “So I think really what we need to make sure is that children have access to the right diets, the…
