But the space-based medical science needed to make that possible has been hindered by small sample sizes that aren’t representative of the general population. As less-rigorous medical screening allows more tourists to reach space, the chances increase significantly that someone will get hurt or have a health emergency there. And if we survived those perils, wouldn’t escalating pressure in our skulls kill us after a week or so? Initially, many space travelers puke, or at least feel motion-sick — space-adaptation syndrome, or S.A.S., is what such nausea, headache and vomiting are called outside our atmosphere. symptoms in the 1970s, when they heard Skylab astronauts talking about it with one another over a hot mic.

Common sense suggests that the next step would be to advise the persons under investigation that they are no longer targets. Prosecutors investigate crimes because people commit them, and those who break the law must be brought to justice. Maybe that means prosecutors are putting the final touches on an indictment. No news is good news, they’ll say, because silence at least means the indictment hasn’t been signed. And to pester the prosecutor about where you stand will achieve nothing other than irritating the person in whose hands your fate rests.

One person who is running to replace Manchin, West Virginia Gov. While they are on defense in key races across the country, Democrats’ two remotely plausible pickup opportunities, in Florida and Texas, are also states that went for Trump. Meanwhile, now that he’s not running for reelection, Manchin wants to take his brand on the road.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood’s months of labor unrest are coming to an end, but the post-strike landscape that awaits actors and writers may be far from happy-ever-after. That helter-skelter transition threw much of the economics of entertainment out of whack. “Going through that with a streaming service that’s losing billions of dollars is really, really difficult to go on offense.”Cancellations have grown more commonplace as streamers get more selective. Due in part to the strikes, series production will dip for the first time in years in 2023 after reaching an all-time high last year, when 599 original series were made. “And so I think really we will see over the coming days, weeks and months what the industry’s real intentions are.

NEW YORK (AP) — Once again, U.S. labor unions are flexing their muscles in the national spotlight. In Hollywood, the actors union reached a tentative deal with major studios late Wednesday to end a months-long strike. UNION RATES HAVE BEEN FALLING FOR DECADES. Only 6% of U.S. private-sector workers belong to unions today, a sliver of the 35% that were union members in 1953. That means that what worked in auto workers' labor campaign, for example, may not look the same or be possible in other industries.

The hardest rule I ever set for my kids was refusing them cellphones until high school. I’d seen the research on the doleful effects of social media, screens and surveillance parenting on kids’ mental, physical and cognitive well-being. Much as parents don’t want to admit it, we need — or it feels like we need — our kids to have a phone. Even in a school shooting, cellphones have as much potential for danger as they do for safety. We tell ourselves the phone will give our kids a sense of independence, even though phone trackers let us know exactly where they are.

Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia will not run for reelection in 2024, the moderate Democrat announced on social media Thursday, a blow for his party’s chances to hold onto control of the Senate in next year’s midterms. Montana Sen. Steve Daines, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, released a statement minutes after Manchin’s announcement, saying, “We like our odds in West Virginia.”It’s unclear what specifically Manchin will do after leaving Capitol Hill. I’ve been in races to win,” Manchin said at the time in July. “And if I get in a race, I’m going to win.”Throughout his time in Washington, Manchin has found himself at odds with members of his own party, both in and out of the Capitol. Manchin, a former governor of West Virginia, was first elected to the Senate in 2010.

Yet there’s much to do before investors give UBS credit for that rosier future.

And yet, every day, people across America hire a real estate agent to help them sell a home. While state governments license real estate agents, NAR has an extensive code of ethics it expects members to adhere to. NAR and the brokerages have vowed to appeal the verdict, which means real estate commissions aren’t going anywhere immediately. Last month Redfin, an internet real estate company, left the association. The longer-term impact of the verdict may be that the pairing of buyer’s agent commission and seller’s agent commission will eventually be separated.
