DEC: Fire risk up as New York gets warm

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - Warm weather comes with drawbacks, especially in the Adirondacks, Catskills, and anywhere else with a lot of dense woodlands. This week, the state Department of Environmental Conservation is putting out a reminder to all those in state forests: No blazes in the brush. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! A statewide ban prohibiting brush burning started on March 16, and will last through Sunday, May 14. Temperatures climbing up towards the 70s this week means an increased risk of fires breaking out, and forecast highs into the 80s suggest even more risk to come.The DEC reports that open burning of debris causes most spring wildfires in the state, often caused by debris from the previous fall being left out in dry conditions. These conditions are primed in early spring, when a lack of green vegetation means not as many environmental factors to cushion the risk. "With all the dead grass and leaves, the tree...

Cardinals match worst 10-game start in nearly 50 years

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

ST. LOUIS - It's early, but the St. Louis Cardinals are in a very unfamiliar spot. The Cardinals have the worst record in the National League just 10 games into the 2023 season. After Monday's road loss, the St. Louis Cardinals stand at 3-7 in the new campaign. St. Louis won two of three games in its opening series, though has dropped six of its last seven games since then. Top story: “Easter Miracle” for Lake St. Louis officer critically injured by suspected drunk driver With a 3-7 record, the St. Louis Cardinals matched their worst 10-game start in nearly half a century. For context...The last time the Cardinals started 3-7 was in 2017. The last time the Cardinals started 3-7 before that was 1997, the only other time that has happened under the ownership of the DeWitt family. The last time the Cardinals started worse than 3-7 was in 1973, when the team started 1-9. Of those aforementioned teams, none of them ended up making playoffs. History shows the Cardinals will need to pic...

Don't use free USB chargers at airports, FBI warns

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

No matter how drained your cell phone, tablet or laptop battery might be, the FBI says you should avoid using free USB charging stations when you travel.The FBI office in Denver issued a blunt warning last week that public USB ports, like those found at airports and shopping malls, pose a threat to your digital security and could be used by identity thieves.“Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices,” the FBI tweeted. “Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead.”It wasn’t clear what prompted the FBI’s warning. However, concerns about public USB charging ports have persisted for many years.In 2019, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office issued its own warning about “juice jacking” – as it is often called.“Once the unsuspecting user plugs in, their phone or electronic device becomes infected,” Deputy District Attorney Luke Sisak said. “Within minutes of being plugged in, t...

Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes loses bid to stay out of prison during appeal

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes has been rebuffed in her attempt to stay out of federal prison while she appeals her conviction for the fraud she committed while overseeing a blood-testing scam that exposed Silicon Valley’s dark side.In an 11-page ruling issued late Monday, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila concluded there wasn't compelling enough evidence to allow Holmes to remain free on bail while her lawyers try to persuade an appeals court that alleged misconduct during her four-month trial led to an unjust verdict.The judge’s decision means Holmes, 39, will have to surrender to authorities April 27 to start the more than 11-year prison sentence that Davila imposed in November. The punishment came 10 months after a jury found her guilty on four counts of fraud and conspiracy against the Thearanos investors who believed in her promises to revolutionize the health care industry.Holmes had accompanied her lawyers to a San Jose, California, courtroom on March 17 to try to c...

Kristin Cavallari Keeps It Truly Simple With Her Third Cookbook

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

Former Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County star Kristin Cavallari comes out with her third cookbook today, Truly Simple, featuring 140 healthy recipes for weekday cooking, and in the reality star’s own words is a good reflection of where her life is now.Living in Nashville with three kids, Cavallari is at peace with her current work/life balance, which she says is more life.“In my other cookbooks, True Roots and True Comfort, I was super strict about ingredients. There was nothing white – no white flour, sugar or salt. That’s still very close to how I eat, but I’ve become a little more lax, which is reflective in Truly Simple. It’s still mostly gluten-free, there’s no cow’s milk other than butter in there and some white sugar in a few recipes.“I was never super strict with my kids’ diets, because I think they end up going the opposite way,” says Cavallari, who penned this book solo without the help of a chef this time around. “I wasn’t buying cane sugar, but I’ve ...

Melania Trump lashes out at ‘assumptions’ but won’t say she supports Donald

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

Melania Trump on Tuesday hit out at “assumptions” about her stance on personal and political matters but she didn’t mention the name of her husband Donald Trump or say whether she supports him as he campaigns for president or as he fights criminal charges in New York and deals with state and federal investigations elsewhere.The Office of Melania Trump issued a short statement on its Twitter account early Tuesday that was characteristically allusive for the 52-year-old former model who became known for cultivating an aura of mystery while in the White House. The statement said: “News organizations have made assumptions about the former first lady’s stance on subjects that are personal, professional, and political over the past few weeks. In these articles, unnamed sources are cited to bolster the author’s claims.”“We ask readers to exercise caution and good judgment when determining whether or not stories concerning the former first lad...

UC Berkeley police investigate 4 sexual assaults on campus

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

BERKELEY, Calif. (KRON) -- UC Berkeley police believe three assaults in the past week may be connected. The last assault happened just hours ago as a young woman was walking to one of the residence halls on campus, according to UC Berkeley police.“I normally walk around campus alone, and most of the time I’m a little scared, I carry pepper spray," Naydian Beltran-Garcia, a UC Berkeley student, told KRON4. "So that made me really anxious.”UC Berkley police released photos of the man they are looking regarding an assault that happened just after mid-night Tuesday morning. Police said a woman was walking near the Foothill Complex, which is a residence hall, when she said she was grabbed from behind and knocked to the floor. Officials said she fought back by kicking and was able to get away, but that suspect is still on the loose.Police believe Tuesday morning's incident is related to the three other sexual battery cases that happened last week. In all of those cases, the suspect grabbe...

Texas Judge Cosplaying as Medical Expert Has Consequences Beyond the Abortion Pill

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:46:34 GMT

In an after-hours opinion late Friday, federal District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk donned his scrubs to rescind the Food and Drug Administration’s 2000 approval of mifepristone, the first drug in the most common medication abortion protocol.The ruling by the far-right, Trump-appointed judge was lawless and should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to the ratcheting up of tensions over the legality of abortion since the United States Supreme Court upended constitutional protection for the procedure last summer in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.In fact, Kacsmaryk’s ruling in the mifepristone case, known as Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has a lot in common with the Dobbs opinion penned by Justice Samuel Alito: It ignores science, wholly reimagines facts, and cites less-than-credible sources to arrive at a preordained destination.The opinion threatens to block access to mifepristone nationwide. Kacsmaryk staye...
