M-DCPS launches new fentanyl awareness campaign

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:22 GMT

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) are taking a proactive stance against the growing fentanyl crisis by launching a new Fentanyl Awareness Campaign. “We are proactive instead of being reactive,” said Mari Tere Rojas, M-DCPS board chair, “and this is the way to do it, starting with an awareness campaign.” This initiative, aimed at safeguarding the community, is a collaborative effort with organizations like “Fentanyl Fathers” and student-led campaigns. The campaign is designed to educate and inform students and the entire community about the dangers of fentanyl. Founder of “Fentanyl Fathers” Gregory Swan, who tragically lost his son to fentanyl in 2013, voiced his support for the program. “[This campaign] stuns us, but most schools are not willing to do this because they want to be in denial that they have a drug problem,” explained Swan. “Well I got news for you, you got a drug problem. It’s called Florid...

US intelligence currently assesses Iran and its proxies are seeking to avoid a wider war with Israel

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:22 GMT

(CNN) — The US intelligence community believes – for now – that Iran and its proxies are calibrating their response to Israel’s military intervention in Gaza to avoid direct conflict with Israel or the US while still exacting costs on its adversaries.But the US is also keenly aware that Iran does not maintain perfect control of its umbrella of proxies – in particular over Lebanese Hezbollah, the largest and most capable of the various groups. Hezbollah is an ally of Hamas, the group that attacked Israel on October 7, and has long positioned itself as fighting against Israel. US officials are deeply concerned that the group’s internal politics may cause Hezbollah to escalate simmering tensions.The US also does not always have perfect visibility into the communications between Iran and its various proxies, according to sources familiar with US intelligence in the region.“The problem is the proxies are not all equally deferential to Tehran – lumping them together is a mistake,” sa...

Buy boomers, sell millennials is Bank of America’s way to play this market

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:22 GMT

Alexandra Semenova, Carmen Reinicke | Bloomberg News (TNS)Baby boomers are flush, with high interest rates fattening their savings accounts. Young Americans, they’re struggling with debts, sky-high rents and mortgage rates that are putting home ownership further out of reach.That’s driving a new trade recommendation from Bank of America Corp., one aimed at exploiting the widening generational wealth gap: Go long on old-people stocks. Avoid those whose fortunes ride on cash-strapped millennials.That means American Express Co. and cruise-ship lines are in. Out is Revolve Group Inc., a self-styled “next-generation fashion retailer” for the twenty-somethings.“Millennials are really feeling the impact of the hiking cycle. Boomers, not so much,” BofA quantitative strategist Ohsung Kwon, himself a millennial, said in an interview. “We’re starting to see a big diversion between the two.”That fault line is growing beneath an economy that’s on the surface remained surprisingly strong, largely...

Roquan Smith has changed Ravens for the better with ‘infectious’ mindset in year since trade

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:22 GMT

Each day at Ravens practice, Roquan Smith sprints out of the team’s sprawling “Castle” and onto whichever of the three fields the defense is using that afternoon in Owings Mills, a routine the inside linebacker has maintained every afternoon since he landed with Baltimore after being traded from the Chicago Bears 12 months ago. The only exceptions are walk-throughs, because he doesn’t get a chance to warm up.Most coaches and teammates haven’t noticed Smith’s daily sprint, but they aren’t surprised by it.“It’s his statement,” coach John Harbaugh said. “Everybody has their way of doing it, and I think it’s one of his things. He brings energy. Maybe it’s his way of saying, ‘When I step on the field, I’m 100 miles an hour. I’m full speed beginning to end, sideline to sideline, wall to wall.’ That’s the way he practices. It’s the way he plays. As a coach, of course you love t...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:22 GMT

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Opponents of the Dakota Access oil pipeline are taking issue with the format of private oral testimony in meetings for public comment on a draft environmental review of the controversial pipeline.The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is in the midst of two public comment meetings in Bismarck, North Dakota, the first held Wednesday, the second set for Thursday. People wishing to give testimony may do so orally in a curtained area with a stenographer, or do so in writing at tables.The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has long opposed the pipeline due to the risk of an oil spill contaminating the tribe’s drinking water supply. The four-state pipeline crosses under the Missouri River just upstream of the tribe’s reservation.The long-awaited draft environmental review, released in September, outlines five options for the pipeline’s fate. Those include denying the easement for the controversial crossing and removing or abandoning a 7,500-foot (2,286-meter) segm...
