On Thursday, the ACLU announced that it had just blocked Georgia’s recent ban on abortion, barring the procedure from the earliest weeks of pregnancy. The ban, which was signed into law by the state’s Governor Brian Kemp in May 2019 would have seen abortion banned at six weeks of pregnancy, a time when many women do not even know they are pregnant. Celebrating the U.S District Court in Atlanta’s decision to grant a preliminary injunction on the abortion ban, Talcott Camp, the deputy director of the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project said: “This is a victory for people in Georgia and a reminder that these attacks on abortion access are illegal....

Food and lifestyle influencer Emily Mariko, 29, sparked the online obsession after showing her TikTok viewers what she does with her leftover salmon on August 25. Just over a month later, and the dish has become the new feta cheese pasta, with copycat videos spiraling from the app, making it all TikTok can talk about. The recipe is relatively simple—white rice, salmon, Kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sriracha and seaweed. For the authentic Mariko-style, use leftover, mashed salmon and white rice, reheated in a microwave with an ice cube added and covered in parchment paper....

McMaster made the remarks this week during an interview with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett. The two discussed a recent court decision overruling McMaster’s 2017 executive order that kicked Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers off the state’s Medicaid network. “Most taxpayers in this state do not favor their money being spent on abortions,” McMaster said. The governor added that he intends to challenge the judge’s ruling and “follow up and go to the Supreme Court....

A month after 10 House Republicans voted to impeach Trump, the former president’s trial is set to begin in the Senate. While a conviction won’t have an immediate impact on Trump, as he’s already left office, it could bar him from ever holding office again, dashing any hope for a potential 2024 run against President Joe Biden. It’s highly unlikely that the 45 Republicans in the Senate who voted to dismiss the case before the trial started would change their tune and vote to convict....

The price of oil has increased in response to concerns about how the military conflict could disrupt the energy market, driving up prices at the pump. Industry experts have said in recent days that it is difficult to predict exactly how much gas prices could go up, but they noted it is possible the U.S. could see a $4 national average cost for the price of a single gallon of unleaded regular gas by April....

According to a tracker provided by Johns Hopkins University, there are more than 582,000 confirmed cases in the U.S. While many experts, including the U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, believe that there should be a nationwide stay-at-home order in place, these seven states have decided to implement their own measures to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus. The seven states are Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming....

Were the pilots’ protestations justified? The question has no simple answer. The Federal Aviation Administration last week stepped up its monitoring of the ATR and called public attention to its new ATR operating standards, which include avoiding the use of autopilot equipment during icy conditions. But it did not strengthen its watered-down version of a National Transportation Safety Board recommendation that the planes not be flown during icy conditions. Instead, says the FAA, airlines should ““maximize avoidance’’ of such conditions....

Coman withdrew from Les Bleus’ XI to face Moldova on Friday after experiencing a problem during the warm-up, prompting head coach Deschamps to replace him with Matuidi for the 4-1 victory. Coman only recently recovered from a hamstring injury and Deschamps said he would not be unnecessarily risked against Iceland on Monday. “Kingsley felt a little problem with his back and it pulled him a little at the thigh,” Deschamps told RMC Sport....

RELATED: Things We Love About Lost Ark (& Things We Don’t) Sadly, rushing to level 50 usually also means skipping all dialogue and cutscenes as well (though this is a polarizing choice, it seems). So, let’s go over some of the largest aspects of the background and story so that even the players who skipped everything will still be able to (mostly) follow along. Although, like most MMOs, Lost Ark’s story is pretty convoluted, so there’s a lot to keep in mind....

Bryce Latimer started first grade on Monday, and in an effort to make the start of his virtual school year feel normal, his parents put a lot of work into creating a mini-classroom in their own home, complete with posters that you’d expect to see in an elementary school classroom. The first-grader took the atmosphere a step further by wearing his school uniform to the virtual class. “I want to wear my uniform because my class has to wear them,” he told local news outlet WKYC....

Yes, what first caught my eye about this particular multi-tool were its spork and comb. But as I looked closer, I found that this was more than just a novelty item—it was a smartly and solidly built everyday carry actually worth carrying every day. What It Can Do Here are the main features of this high-carbon stainless steel, TSA-compliant multi-tool:...

Most of us only know of Frederic Weis because of the play. And as for Vince Carter, it only added to the madness that was Vinsanity.

The city responded to him and he was quickly becoming one of the most popular athletes in the country — though he was Canada’s little secret at the time....
