The Health and Human Services Department rule dates to the Obama administration, a time when LGBT people gained political and social recognition. But a federal judge in Texas said the rule went too... Читать дальше...

BOSTON (AP) — Sneaking a cigarette in the school bathroom? How quaint. Today's teens have taken to vaping, an alternative to smoking that's so discreet they can do it without even leaving the classroom. Health and education officials across the country are raising alarms over wide underage use of e-cigarettes and other vaping products. The devices heat liquid into an inhalable vapor that's sold in sugary flavors like mango and mint — and often with the addictive drug nicotine. They're marketed to... Читать дальше...

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Shaquem Griffin deservedly received the bulk of the attention when the Seattle Seahawks drafted the star linebacker with one hand in the fifth round and reunited him with his twin brother Shaquill.

His twin brother, Shaquill, recognized the 425 area code that flashed on the screen and started charging after his brother. "I think I was more scared of him tackling me in the bathroom and not knowing what was happening than anything," Shaquem said. What already was the feel-good story of the NFL draft got an even better storybook ending on Saturday when the Central Florida star... Читать дальше...
