Biden has a new message about the war. There’s an America First twist.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:29 GMT

President Joe Biden is making a new case to the American public for shipping arms, ammunition and other military supplies to the wars in Ukraine and Israel.His argument: many of those supplies are made in America — and that’s good for American jobs.In an Oval Office address Thursday seeking more than $106 billion in aid for Israel, Ukraine and other priorities, Biden linked the fight against Russia’s invasion to the attacks by Hamas. But he also underscored that much of the Ukraine funding he’s seeking would never leave the United States.That argument — which namechecked 2024 battleground states Pennsylvania and Arizona — comes as Biden makes a reelection pitch centered on his efforts to create jobs and revitalize domestic manufacturing in sectors such as clean energy and semiconductor fabrication. The agenda, known as Bidenomics, has been met with skepticism from voters, according to polls, but the president appears set on putting it at the core of his reelection campaign.And now t...

‘Dramatic decline’: Calgary researcher says sea ice in Antarctica lowest since 1986

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:29 GMT

A Calgary researcher, who has spent the last eight months in Antarctica studying sea ice, says he has seen first-hand how big an effect climate change has had in the region. Vishnu Nandan, a post-doctoral associate with the University of Calgary, along with Robbie Mallett, from the University of Manitoba, have been studying ways to improve how radar satellites measure the thickness of Antarctic sea ice and snow. The research is part of a British-based project called DEFIANT — Drivers and Effects of Fluctuations in sea Ice in the ANTarctic — which aims to deploy a state-of-the-art ground-based radar system that mimics the satellites in space.“We actually came knowing we wouldn’t have a lot of sea ice, because it’s been really warm,” Nandan said in a phone interview from Rothera Research Station on Adelaide Island, nearly 1,900 kilometres south of the Falkland Islands. “We came in where we had the lowest sea ice on record over the past many deca...

(NEXSTAR) — With student loans due again for the first time since the start of the COVID pandemic, you may be even more aware of the payoff — large or small — of attending college and getting your degree. Sure, you may have been told while growing up that going and getting a bachelor’s degree would set you up for financial success. Data released last month by the U.S. Census Bureau suggest that may not be the case. Americans with a bachelor’s degree had a median income of $74,154 in 2022, roughly $600 below the national average of all earners, regardless of their education. There are, of course, degree-holders earning much more — and much less — than that.  The 3 college degrees that will pay you the most — and the 3 that won’t Data released this week from the Census Bureau found degrees in science and engineering fields had the highest average incomes, outperforming those with degrees in business, education, the arts, humanities, or other degrees. Across ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:29 GMT

Amy LindgrenHave you ever wondered how corporate leaders find their jobs? Or, turning the question around, how corporations find their leaders? Well, as a starting point, executives always come from one of two places: Inside or outside the organization.That may seem obvious, but it’s still helpful. If you want to work at the executive, or “C” level as it’s known, start with the company you’re at now. And if that doesn’t feel like it will be fruitful for any reason, you can focus your attention on other companies instead, making you the “outside” candidate.In last week’s column, we looked at seven strategies to help prepare for a role in a company’s executive suite, from raising your profile to building leadership skills. Today we’ll look at how you might find the openings — and how you can become findable yourself when organizations need new leadership.1.
