I am one of thousands of Americans sitting in limbo while working abroad on a Fulbright grant. The recent funding freezes have left many of us stranded in foreign countries without funds or guidance on how to proceed. Rather than just detailing this crisis, I want to illustrate Fulbright’s importance through my experience as an English teaching assistant in Cambodia. The United States has a difficult history with Cambodia. In the late 1960s and early ’70s, the U.S. dropped an estimated 500,000 tons of bombs on the country, killing 150,000 civilians. This relentless campaign cleared the path for the Khmer…

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, over opposition from dentists and national health organizations who warn the move will lead to medical problems and disproportionately affect low-income communities. Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed legislation Thursday that bars cities and communities from deciding whether to add the mineral to their water systems. Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Utah lawmakers who pushed for a ban said putting fluoride in water was…

Notre Dame’s Niele Ivey is doing it the way she learned how to coach, pacing the sideline in stylish attire in a time when most coaches favor far more casual attire. “When I first got into coaching, I learned under a Hall of Fame coach,” Ivey said. “Being coached under Coach (Muffet) McGraw, her whole staff dressed up. Coaching with her we dressed up. That’s kind of the fabric of Notre Dame, and what I’m used to style-wise.” As the NCAA Tournament heats up, the styles of Ivey, LSU’s Kim Mulkey, Alabama’s Nate Oaks and South Carolina’s Dawn Staley stand…

A tract of land sold by the Gary Redevelopment Commission on Wednesday signals more growth at Buffington Harbor as Mayor Eddie Melton’s administration cements the shift from casino boats to industry along Lake Michigan. SP TP Gary Development LLC won the bid for the purchase of 78 acres in Buffington Harbor for $4.7 million. Officials said it would be developed as a warehouse distribution center, but its new tenant wasn’t named. The “SP” in the company also wasn’t disclosed, but state filings in January show the company’s registered agent is Marc Pfleging, general counsel for Scannell Properties LLC, based in…

Once in life, a second time in death, Pfc. Ira Hayes — World War II veteran, Iwo Jima flag-raiser, Pima Indian — ran head-on into the homefront propaganda machine. He wasn’t the first, but director Clint Eastwood made a movie about it in 2006: “Flags of Our Fathers” is based on a book about the six U.S. Marines who raised an American flag atop Mount Suribachi in 1945. Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal caught the moment, and the photo became a poster (and later a stamp, and a massive bronze sculpture). The poster was the crucial marketing image of the…

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court on Friday lifted an order blocking Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from further cuts at the U.S. Agency for International Development. The lawsuit was among of the first filed against Musk himself. It argued that DOGE’s actions were unconstitutional because he was wielding significant power without being elected or Senate approved. A lower court judge agreed, but the three-judge appeals court panel sided with the Trump administration, at least for now. It found that while DOGE played a part in the dismantling of USAID, the cuts were approved by government officials. The 4th…

Street sweeping season in Denver begins next week. That means drivers who park on the street will need to check the red and white signs on each block about parking restrictions. If not, drivers could get a $50 ticket. Even though street sweeping adds an extra step to parking in the spring and summer, officials said it’s actually good for us.   Department of Transportation and Infrastructure’s Cyndi Karvaski said, “We’re trying to get our street sweepers as close to the curb as possible. That’s where most of the dirt and debris accumulates, and so we want to get as…

Washington — Vice President JD Vance said Friday during a day trip to a U.S. base in Greenland that the Trump administration doesn’t think that “military force is ever going to be necessary” there, the same day President Trump said, “We have to have Greenland.” Vance visited the Pituffik Space Base, the northernmost U.S. military installation, along with second lady Usha Vance, national security adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah. While there, the vice president blasted Denmark for its handling of the island, as the Trump White House eyes the semi-autonomous Danish territory…
