More than two-thirds of the women surveyed take specific safety precautions, including running alongside a friend or partner who can protect them. She also avoids carrying pepper spray because she’s afraid someone could overpower her and use it against her, she says. “If I see a guy coming toward me, I make sure the pepper spray is ready to go. Lyon says she sometimes gets unwanted catcalls when running on sidewalks, and carries pepper spray on a hand strap so it’s easy to access. Most days, she makes sure her hair is in a french bun — not a ponytail — when she’s running, she says.

The Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska has had a messy start, with a five-time champion shooting and killing a moose to protect himself and his dogs, race officials said on Monday. Under race rules, the musher, Dallas Seavey, had to stop to gut the moose before continuing the 1,000-mile race. Seavey killed the moose after it became “entangled” with the racer and his dogs during the race, the Iditarod said in a news release. Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race officials were notified at 1:43 a.m. on Monday. One of Seavey’s dogs was injured in the encounter and flown to Anchorage to be evaluated by veterinarians, the Iditarod said.

The fire, which began shortly before 9 p.m. on Monday, filled the night sky with flames and smoke, prompted the police to urge residents to avoid the area and left a trail of charred debris along 15 Mile Road, a highway in Clinton Township, Mich.“You could see the amount of fire just coursing in the sky, and the explosions were actually shaking the car,” Tim Duncan, the chief of Clinton Township’s fire department, said in a news conference on Tuesday morning.

March 2, 2024Neanderthals may have vanished 40,000 years ago, but they are no strangers to us today. But there’s no such familiarity with the Denisovans, a group of humans that split from the Neanderthal line and survived for hundreds of thousands of years before going extinct. In a new review paper, anthropologists tally all of the fossils that have been clearly identified as Denisovan since the first discovery in 2010. Nevertheless, many scientists are growing increasingly fascinated by Denisovans. “I find Denisovans way more interesting,” said Emilia Huerta-Sánchez, a geneticist at Brown University.

☆ The Politics Behind Trump and Biden’s Dueling Border Stops

For Mr. Trump, the border is a familiar backdrop and represents almost the background music of his candidacy, as he warns of a nation slipping out of reach and an “invasion” he promises to stop. For Mr. Biden, immigration represents a top vulnerability as border crossings reached record highs in late 2023 and images of mass migration and its fallout have become fixtures on the news. In the fall of 2020, Mr. Trump was more trusted on immigration by a sizable 16 percentage points, according to NBC News polling at the time. That margin has more than doubled to 35 percentage points as of this January — the largest advantage either Mr. Biden or Mr. Trump had on any of the nine issues tested. The package would have made asylum claims more difficult, expanded detention capacity, increased fentanyl screening and paid for more border officers.

New York CNN —Leap Day might seem like fun and games — until you consider Wall Street. To account for that gap, Julius Caesar in 45 BC decreed that an extra day be added every four years, leading to the Julian calendar. Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 AD created the Gregorian calendar, coined the term “leap year” and established February 29 as the official leap day. He adds that a leap day can also help marginally raise corporate earnings, since companies get an extra day in a fiscal quarter to operate. History shows that stocks tend to perform worse when an additional day is added to the calendar.
