Un socavón en Florida que mató a un hombre en 2013 vuelve a abrirse por tercera vez

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:22:21 GMT

(CNN) — En el centro-oeste de Florida se volvió a abrir un socavón que hace aproximadamente 10 años causó la muerte de un hombre cuando, precisamente, se abrió debajo de su dormitorio, dijeron esta semana las autoridades.Es la tercera vez que se abre el socavón en Seffner, a unos 24 kilómetros al este de Tampa.Después de que el agujero se cobrara la vida de Jeff Bush en 2013, cuando quedó sumergido decenas de metros bajo tierra, el condado de Hillsborough rellenó el agujero y compró la propiedad y la casa de al lado para asegurarse de que nadie viviera demasiado cerca. Luego, en 2015, el agujero volvió a abrirse —de unos 6 metros de ancho en ese momento— y se rellenó de nuevo. Nadie resultó herido en la reapertura de 2015.El lunes, funcionarios del condado fueron informados de que el socavón se había abierto de nuevo, dijo Jon-Paul Lavandeira, director de la división de aplicación de códigos del condado. Los funcionarios se aseguraron de que las comunidades circundantes no se ...

India’s space agency is set to launch an unmanned mission to the moon’s south pole

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:22:21 GMT

SRIHARIKOTA, India (AP) — India was set to send a spacecraft to the far side of the moon Friday in a follow-up mission to its failed effort nearly four years ago to land a rover softly on the lunar surface.Chandrayaan-3, the word for “moon craft” in Sanskrit, will take off from a launch pad in Sriharikota in southern India with an orbiter, a lander and a rover. It will embark on a journey lasting slightly over a month before landing on the moon’s surface later in August.A successful landing would make India the fourth country — after the United States, the Soviet Union, and China — to achieve the feat.The six-wheeled lander and rover module of Chandrayaan-3 is configured with payloads that would provide data to the scientific community on the properties of lunar soil and rocks, including chemical and elemental compositions, said Dr. Jitendra Singh, junior minister for Science and Technology.India’s previous attempt to land a robotic spacecraft near the moon’s little-explored south p...

2 massacres, 2 different decisions: How does the DOJ decide who should face death?

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:22:21 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Two separate shootings 2,000 miles (3,218 kilometers) apart. One killed 11 at a Pittsburgh synagogue. The other killed 23 at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. Both were motivated by racial hate. Both involved gunmen who later claimed mental illness.But earlier this year, the Justice Department authorized the death penalty only for the case in Pittsburgh, where jurors will soon answer the weightiest of questions: Should Robert Bowers be put to death?Bowers’ trial is in the penalty phase after his June conviction for the 2018 antisemitic attack. A federal judge last Friday gave Patrick Crusius the maximum available sentence for the 2019 Walmart attack on Hispanics: life in prison. He pleaded guilty after the department took a death sentence off the table.Contrasting decisions in such similar cases illustrates the department’s murky, often baffling and seemingly inconsistent death penalty policies. Department decision-making and the criteria it favors are also shrouded ...

Iowa’s restrictive abortion measure faces legal challenge as governor prepares to sign it into law

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:22:21 GMT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa judge on Friday afternoon will consider a request to postpone the state’s new ban on most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, just as Gov. Kim Reynolds is scheduled to sign the measure into law in front of 2,000 conservative Christians barely a mile away.The split screen punctuates a bitter battle between abortion advocates and opponents in Iowa that has dragged on for years and will likely, for now, remain unresolved as the courts assess the law’s constitutionality.Abortion is currently legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy but will be far more restricted when Reynolds puts pen to paper Friday — unless or until the district court judge issues a temporary hold.The new legislation prohibits almost all abortions once cardiac activity can be detected, which is usually around six weeks of pregnancy and before many women know they are pregnant. The bill passed with exclusively Republican support late on Tuesday at the conclusion of a rare, 14...

Death Valley visitors drawn to the hottest spot on Earth during ongoing US heat wave

DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — As uninviting as it sounds, Death Valley National Park beckons.Even as the already extreme temperatures are forecast to climb even higher, potentially topping records amid a major U.S. heat wave, tourists are arriving at this infamous desert landscape on the California-Nevada border.Daniel Jusehus snapped a photo earlier this week of a famed thermometer outside the aptly named Furnace Creek Visitor Center after challenging himself to a run in the sweltering heat.“I was really noticing, you know, I didn’t feel so hot, but my body was working really hard to cool myself,” said Jusehus, an active runner who was visiting from Germany. His photo showed the thermometer reading at 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48.8 degrees Celsius).Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any site in the park — which bills itself as the lowest, hottest and driest place on Earth — before returning to the sanctuary of an air-conditioned vehicle.

Ex-officers at federal women’s prison in California plead guilty to multiple sex abuse counts

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 00:22:21 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Two former officers of a federal women’s prison in California pleaded guilty Thursday to multiple counts of sexual abuse, the latest to be prosecuted following an Associated Press investigation last year resulting in prison sentences for the former warden and chaplain. Andrew Jones, a former cook supervisor at Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, pleaded guilty to six felony charges of sexual abuse of three women he supervised, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday. Nakie Nunley, a guard at the prison call center, pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual abuse and five lesser felonies of abusive sexual contact of five women. Both also pleaded guilty to making false statements to the government. The two men will enter pleas and be sentenced at later dates. They are at least the seventh and eighth former employees charged with abusing inmates after an investigation by The Associated Press last year revealed a harrowing culture of rampant abuse and c...
