LIVINGSTON, Mont. (AP) — Trout need cool water to survive, but record heat this summer has driven water temperatures to lethal levels for fish.
Experts are worried about tanning's resurgence among young adults, fueled by social media. Some influencers are also encouraging the use of tanning beds. Gen Z adults are less informed about sun protection and more likely to believe misconceptions about tanning. Misinformation is also spread on social media about tanning. Despite tanning beds being classified as cancer-causing, federal regulations have stalled. Experts stress there is no safe tan and young tanning bed users are more likely to develop melanoma, a potentially life-threatening skin cancer. Parents are encouraged to communicate with their teens about the risks of tanning.
The Fifth Amendment is part of the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights and protects against self-incrimination. This principle is rooted in 17th-century English common law and ensures people aren't forced to testify against themselves in criminal cases. It's a well-known concept in the U.S., referenced in TV legal dramas and real-life cases. The amendment is crucial for maintaining the presumption of innocence, requiring prosecutors to prove guilt. Originally for federal cases, it now applies to state and civil cases, too. In criminal trials, jurors can't assume silence means guilt, but civil cases may allow negative inferences. Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth on Wednesday at a Republican-led Senate committee hearing about the COVID-19 pandemic.

A growing trend called “teen takeovers” where scores of young people converge on small areas have raised safety concerns in cities across the United States, and prompted officials to develop strategies to control the trend. Fueled by warm weather and driven by social media, takeovers have popped up in big cities like Houston, Chicago, Washington D.C. and Detroit, and smaller communities like Clearwater, Florida. The gatherings often lead to fights, theft and vandalism. In May, a 14-year-old was shot and wounded during a fight with other teens during a takeover in downtown Detroit. Vehicles in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood were damaged during a takeover there.
Economics has a term for what U.S. grocery prices have done in recent years. It's the rockets and feathers effect. Rockets, because the cost of food for eating at home shot up up after the coronavirus pandemic. Feathers, because prices fall slowly once they increase. That’s frustrating for Americans digesting a 33% jump in grocery prices since 2019 — the sharpest increase in 50 years. Food price inflation peaked nationwide in 2022, but it hasn’t reversed course. An acceleration during the Iran war prolonged the aggravation. A recent study by the consulting firm Bain & Co. and market research company NielsenIQ found that shoppers are buying fewer items at grocery stores.
