Welcome back to Day 2 of the NFL’s legal tampering period.

Dick Fosbury dies: “Fosbury Flop” high jumper was 76

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:59:21 GMT

Dick Fosbury, the lanky leaper who revamped the technical discipline of high jump and won an Olympic gold medal with his “Fosbury Flop,” has died. He was 76.Fosbury died Sunday after a recurrence with lymphoma, according to his publicist, Ray Schulte.Before Fosbury, many high jumpers cleared their heights by running parallel to the bar, then using a straddle kick to leap over before landing with their faces pointed downward. At the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Fosbury took off at an angle, leaped backward, bent himself into a “J” shape to catapult his 6-foot-4 frame over the bar, then crashed headfirst into the landing pit.It was a convention-defying move, and with the world watching, Fosbury cleared 2.24 meters (7 feet, 4 1/4 inches) to win the gold and set an Olympic record. By the next Olympics, 28 of the 40 jumpers were using Fosbury’s technique. The Montreal Games in 1976 marked the last Olympics in which a high jumper won a medal using a technique other than the Fosbury Flop.“Th...

EPA’s proposed change on PFAS limits would deem dozens of Colorado water sources unsafe

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:59:21 GMT

Dozens of water sources across Colorado previously thought to be safe would now violate the federal maximum contaminant level for PFAS, or toxic “forever chemicals,” under a new standard proposed Tuesday.The long-anticipated federal proposal slashes the Environmental Protection Agency’s previous standard by nearly 95%, indicating that the chemicals are far more hazardous than previously thought.The proposal has broad implications for water sources across the country but Colorado is home to more contaminated sites than any other state.PFAS are linked to cancer, birth defects, diabetes and autoimmune problems. They don’t degrade naturally and accumulate in the bodies of the people and animals that ingest them. Experts who study the compounds repeatedly say there’s no safe level of exposure.Previously acceptable levels for two types of chemicals, one called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and another called perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) sat at 70 parts per trillion. But under the n...

President Biden to speak in Monterey Park, issue order to strengthen gun background checks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:59:21 GMT

President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order on Tuesday aiming to increase the number of background checks to buy guns, promote better and more secure firearms storage and ensure U.S. law enforcement agencies are getting the most out of a bipartisan gun control law enacted last summer. The Democratic president plans to address his latest efforts to curb gun violence in a speech from Monterey Park, California. In January, a gunman stormed a dance hall in the community near Los Angeles and shot 20 people, killing 11, following a Lunar New Year celebration. He's also going to meet with families of the victims and first responders from that day. Biden’s rhetoric has only grown stronger around guns — he routinely calls for banning so-called assault weapons in his speeches — and Democrats didn’t push such a vocal gun-control platform even during the Obama administration, when Biden was vice president. But Biden has been emboldened by the midterms after his regular talk of gu...
