Priceless seeds, sprouts key to US West’s post-fire future
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 15 A New Mexico facility where researchers work to restore forests devastated by fires faced an almost cruelly ironic threat: The largest wildfire burning in the U.S. was fast approaching. Owen Burney and his team knew they had to save what they could. Atop their list was a priceless bank of millions of ponderosa pine, spruce and other conifer seeds meant to help restore fire-ravaged landscapes across the American West. Next were tens of thousands of tree sprouts, many of which were sown to make them more drought tolerant, that were loaded onto trailers and trucked to a greenhouse about 100 miles (161 kilometers) away. New Mexico State University’s Forestry Research Center in the mountain community of Mora is one of only a few such nurseries in the country and stands at the forefront of a major undertaking to … [Read more...] about Priceless seeds, sprouts key to US West’s post-fire future

Opinion: What a Nobel laureate’s take on Donald Trump reveals about today
Sign up to get this weekly column as a newsletter. We're looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. (CNN) Shortly after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, Nobel laureate Toni Morrison wrote in The New Yorker: "Unlike any nation in Europe, the United States holds whiteness as the unifying force. Here, for many people, the definition of 'Americanness' is color." Reflecting on efforts -- largely by White men -- to define themselves by sustaining that poisonous definition, Morrison argues that those "who are prepared to abandon their humanity out of fear of black men and women, suggest the true horror of lost status." In Morrison's formulation, fear-driven devotion to racial status is more powerful to many White Americans than even self-interest, shame or any belief in humanity. And it is this reality, that White Americans' anxieties in the face of a changing country have been and continue to be … [Read more...] about Opinion: What a Nobel laureate’s take on Donald Trump reveals about today
Stockard On The Stump: Lee Walking Tightrope On License Plate Readers
0 Politics & Government Also, former U.S. Senate candidate Mark Clayton disrupts officials discussing a civil penalty against a Metro Nashville Councilman. Tennessee Lookout , News Partner Posted Reply By Sam Stockard, Tennessee Lookout May 20, 2022 With questions about privacy and compelling public interest, Gov. Bill Lee's administration appears to be treading lightly – if not reversing – on policy surrounding automated license plate readers and the state's new blue license tags, which some cameras can't read at night. The Tennessee Department of Transportation in late March turned down a request by Ridley Police Department to put up an automated license plate reader along a state highway right of way, citing an "ongoing review of the state's role in ALPR implementation with privacy, the collection/use of information and assessing compelling public safety need." In addition, the Department of Safety and Homeland … [Read more...] about Stockard On The Stump: Lee Walking Tightrope On License Plate Readers

Russia presses Donbas attacks as Polish leader praises Kyiv
By ELENA BECATOROS, OLEKSANDR STASHEVSKYI and RICARDO MAZALAN KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia pressed its offensive in eastern Ukraine on Sunday as Poland’s president traveled to Kyiv to support the country’s European Union aspirations, becoming the first foreign leader to address the Ukrainian parliament since the start of the war. Lawmakers gave a standing ovation to President Andrzej Duda, who thanked them for the honor of speaking where “the heart of a free, independent and democratic Ukraine beats.” Duda received more applause when he said that to end the conflict, Ukraine did not need to submit to conditions given by Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Unfortunately, in Europe there have also been disturbing voices in recent times demanding that Ukraine yield to Putin’s demands,” he said. “I want to say clearly: Only Ukraine has the right to decide about its future. Only Ukraine has the right to decide for itself.” Duda’s visit, his second to Kyiv since April, came as … [Read more...] about Russia presses Donbas attacks as Polish leader praises Kyiv
