(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) (THE CONVERSATION) Nigeria and Mississippi are a world apart physically, but the rural American state and the African country have much in common when it comes to the obstacles they had to overcome to implement sex education in their schools. Three lessons about overcoming these obstacles come out of research that several colleagues and I conducted on how sex education came to be in Nigeria and Mississippi. The lessons are...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The acting chief of the Environmental Protection Agency says there should be a single national standard for fuel efficiency by cars and trucks, speaking out as a showdown looms with California and other states. EPA acting administrator Andrew Wheeler spoke to a small group of reporters Tuesday ahead of a Trump administration proposal that's expected to roll back Obama-era mileage goals. The Trump administration has also said it's looking at challenging California's authority to set its own, tougher mileage standards. W...
DALLAS (AP) — The average Texan drops more than $127 on electricity costs each month, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The Dallas Morning News reports that number's on the shy side for the summer — Dallas is in the midst of a record-setting, blistering July. And for the area residents lucky enough to live in a home as big as Lynn Rush's 4,688-square-foot house in Addison, those bills will require a prettier penny. But that doesn't bother Rush, and it shouldn't bother whomever buys her home, which hit the market in lat...
(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) (THE CONVERSATION) The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has revealed that Russian government hackers have gained deep access to hundreds of U.S. electrical utility companies, gaining far more access to the operations of many more companies than previously disclosed by federal officials. Securing the electrical grid, upon which is built almost the entirety of modern society, is a monumental challenge. Several experts have...
EL DORADO, Ark. (AP) — Two companies could be liable for fines related to a 2013 oil spill that dumped nearly 6,000 barrels of crude oil in southwestern Arkansas.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) (THE CONVERSATION) Why do batteries die? And, why can they only be recharged so many times before they won’t hold a useful amount of charge? My young son asked me about that years ago when his battery-powered toy car stopped moving, wondering about what he called an “everlasting battery.” And this same question has probably crossed the mind of every cellphone user trying to send one last text before the screen blinks off. Resea...
CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) — Federal land managers have opted for more time to study the potential effects of oil and gas operations near Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southeastern New Mexico. A proposed lease sale first announced last spring had included more than two dozen parcels that were within 10 miles of the park, sparking concern among environmentalists. The Bureau of Land Management on Monday published its final proposal for the September lease sale and excluded at total of 31 parcels to allow for the agency to study the local geology a...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration announced Tuesday it will provide $12 billion in emergency relief to ease the pain of American farmers slammed by President Donald Trump's escalating trade disputes with China and other countries. However, some farm-state Republicans quickly dismissed the plan, declaring that farmers want markets for their crops, not payoffs for lost sales and lower prices. The Agriculture Department said it would tap an existing program to provide billions in direct payments to farmers and ranchers hurt by foreign r...
BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France (AP) — Tear gas in riders' eyes. A farmers' protest blocking the road. Two key crashes on dangerous descents. The only thing lacking from the wild 16th stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday was a shakeup in the overall standings. Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe took advantage of his downhill skills to win the first of three mountainous legs in the Pyrenees, which was briefly interrupted when police used tear gas to disperse a farmers' protest that had blocked the road with bales of hay. The overall standings were u...

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Killings of land and environmental activists rose in 2017 as Mexico and the Philippines registered worrying increases in such murders and Brazil saw the most ever registered in a single country, a watchdog group said Tuesday. At least 207 people who were protecting land and resources from business interests were slain last year, up from 201 the year before, according to Global Witness. That makes 2017 the deadliest year since the group began formally recording such deaths in 2015. The group said that its figures were almost c...
DENVER (AP) — A federal judge rejected claims that a long-stalled irrigation dam in Montana would doom a primitive, endangered fish species, prompting U.S. officials to say Tuesday that a contract for the project will be awarded by the end of the year. Judge Brian Morris ruled last week that environmental groups failed to prove there were practical alternatives to the Yellowstone River dam that will serve about 400 farmers in western North Dakota and eastern Montana. It will include a fish passage so about 125 pallid sturgeon can reach u...
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Harley-Davidson expects new tariffs to increase the company's annual costs by as much as $100 million as long as the trade dispute between the U.S. and other countries goes on. Executives with the Milwaukee company spoke with investors Tuesday for the first time since announcing last month that production of motorcycles sold in Europe would move overseas in order to avoid retaliatory tariffs the EU is imposing on American exports. That announcement unleashed a series of critical tweets from President Donald Trump, and there w...
When storms knock out the power, what's the best way to handle refrigerated or frozen foods? Err on the cautious side. When in doubt, throw the food out. "Food can be very expensive to throw away but not as costly as food-borne illnesses, which can cause lifelong health effects as well as death," said Joyce McGarry, a food safety educator with Michigan State University. "If any food is suspected to be contaminated, it is not worth the risk, especially for young children, seniors and those with compromised immune systems." Electrical...
