Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:42 GMT

By Madeline Holcombe | CNNThere is something in the air today. Maybe you’ve noticed.April 20, or 4/20, is known as “Weed Day” in some circles because the date corresponds with a numerical code for marijuana.Yes, it seems arbitrary. So how did the number 420 come to represent smoking pot?First, let’s get the myths and rumors out of the way:The legend of the California penal codeSome claim the number is drawn from the California criminal codes used to punish the use or distribution of marijuana. But the state’s 420 code actually applies to obstructing entry on public land. So, not quite.But the rumor sounds a lot like …The legend of the police radio codeNeither the Los Angeles Police Department nor the New York Police Department even have a code 420. San Francisco Police have one, but it’s for a “juvenile disturbance.”So never mind that theory.Then there’s …The legend of the Bob Dylan songThis one is a nod to Dylan̵...

House passes a ban on trans athletes on women’s, girls teams

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:42 GMT

By Kevin Freking | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male would be barred from competing on girls or women’s sports teams at federally supported schools and colleges under legislation pushed through Thursday by House Republicans checking off another high-profile item on their social agenda.The bill approved by a 219-203 party-line vote is unlikely to advance further because the Democratic-led Senate will not support it and the White House said President Joe Biden would veto it.Supporters said the legislation, which would put violators at risk of losing taxpayer dollars, is necessary to ensure competitive fairness. They framed the vote as supporting female athletes disadvantaged by having to compete against those whose gender identify does not match their sex assigned at birth.Opponents criticized the bill as ostracizing an already vulnerable group merely for political gain.The House action comes as at least 20 other st...

With Earth Day coming, here’s a quick quiz on our planet

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:42 GMT

Earth Day began in 1970 and takes place on April 22 every year.Here are 10 questions to test your knowledge of the planet.1. A day on Earth is 24 hours but it always hasn’t been that way.

Today, the average day is 24 hours long, but is increasing by about 1.7 milliseconds every century.The reason? The moon is slowing down Earth’s rotation through the tides that it helps create.2. What country has the driest place on Earth?A) U.S.B) Saudi ArabiaC) ChileAnswer C: The driest place in the world — the Atacama Desert in northern Chile — is next to the biggest body of water — the Pacific Ocean.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:55:42 GMT

Deputy commissioner Jaime Zaninovich became the third executive to depart the Pac-12 this year — but the first to leave voluntarily — when his move to the private sector was revealed last week.In January, the conference terminated the employment of chief financial officer Brent Willman and Pac-12 Networks president Mark Shuken for their roles in the Comcast overpayment scandal.All told, four high-compensated executives have left the conference since George Kliavkoff became commissioner in the summer of 2021, while two others departed in the final stage of Larry Scott’s tenure.Put another way: Kliavkoff has a chance to significantly cut salary costs at the conference office precisely when the schools need it most because of gross mismanagement … at the conference office.The overpayments made by Comcast, which were known to Shuken, Willman and possibly Scott — his role in the scandal remains unclear — are expected to result in the media company with...
