TRUMP-EPA-COAL ASH
Burning coal leaves dangerous waste. Trump’s EPA eyes looser rules for handling it
SUMMARY: Waste from coal plants was one of the Trump administration’s recent deregulatory targets. Commonly called coal ash, this waste includes hazardous metals like lead and arsenic and is produced in huge quantities by coal-fired power plants. The Biden administration expanded safe disposal standards. The Trump administration said it will rethink those rules, may extend deadlines and will hand more power to states to administer their own coal ash permitting programs. Environmental groups worry this will increase groundwater pollution and the risk of disastrous coal ash spills. The coal industry says the Biden administration imposed too many costly regulations that would force the shutdown of plants at a time when electricity demand is booming.

US--PRISON DEATH-RAILING
Fifth Michigan prisoner since 2020 dies after falling over rail from upper gallery
SUMMARY: A man has died after falling from an upper gallery at a Michigan prison. It’s the fifth inmate since 2020 to die from falling or jumping at two prisons where railings are only a few feet high. Ervin Robinson II died on Saturday after a fall at the Egeler prison in Jackson County. A spokesman says the death remains under investigation. The Detroit Free Press reports that railings on upper floors at two prisons are 38 inches high. Safety regulators closed a complaint from an employee and didn’t take any action in 2023.

US--ENBRIDGE PIPELINE
US Army engineers decide to fast-track Great Lakes tunnel permits under Trump energy emergency order
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will fast-track permits for building a protective tunnel around an aging Enbridge oil pipeline that runs beneath a channel connecting two Great Lakes. The decision is stoking environmentalists’ fears that the project will escape scrutiny. The move comes after President Donald Trump issued an executive order in January declaring that the U.S. has become too dependent on foreign energy sources. The order mandates that federal agencies identify energy projects for expedited emergency permitting. The corps designated the tunnel project as an emergency under the order on Tuesday. Corps officials say they don’t have an expedited timeline yet. They had initially planned to make a permitting decision early next year.

US--EDUCATION-INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Visa cancellations sow panic for international students, with hundreds fearing deportation
SUMMARY: The speed and scope of the federal government’s efforts to terminate the legal status of international students have stunned colleges and universities across the country. Few corners of higher education have been untouched, as schools ranging from prestigious private universities, large public research institutions and tiny liberal arts colleges discover status terminations one after another among their student body. At least 790 students at more than 120 colleges and universities have had their visas revoked or their legal status terminated in recent weeks, according to an Associated Press review of university statements and correspondence with school officials.

BEHIND THE WHEEL: USED SUVS- UNDER $20K
Edmunds: Five great used SUVs for teens under $20,000
SUMMARY: SUVs are typically larger, heavier, harder to control and slower to brake than a standard coupe or sedan. So why would you give one to a newly or recently minted driver? For one reason, safety. Studies show SUVs inherently shake off front and rear collisions better than regular passenger cars. But SUVs also tend to fit teen lifestyles and responsibilities, offering plenty of room for friends, family and things. And with several styles of SUV, from sleek and sporty to rough and rugged, there’s one to suit any teen’s personality.

US--EDUCATION-BE WELL-TEEN SLEEP-TIPS
Is your teen sleep-deprived? These expert bedtime tips could help
SUMMARY: Bedtime routines aren’t just for toddlers. Experts say teenagers need them too. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says adolescents need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep. But nearly 80% of American teenagers aren’t getting that. A few changes to bedtime can make a dramatic difference. First, separate children from their devices at night. If your teen uses their phone as an alarm, buy them an alarm clock. Then, replace screens with a new wind-down routine. Try to get to bed around the same time each night and start winding down at least 30 minutes before. During that time, your teen can silence notifications, take a warm shower and read a book.

US--EDUCATION-BE WELL-TEEN SLEEP
Sleep training is no longer just for babies. Some schools are teaching teens how to sleep
SUMMARY: Sleep training is no longer just for newborns. Some schools are taking it upon themselves to teach teenagers how to get a good night’s sleep. The problem isn’t just that high schoolers are tired, that’s nothing new. But studies show that teens are more sleep deprived than ever before and experts believe it could be playing a role in the youth mental health crisis and other problems plaguing schools, including behavioral and attendance issues. A growing body of research shows how tightly sleep is linked to mood, mental health, self-harm and a range of other dangers including teen driving accidents. That’s why a school district in Ohio, and several Minnesota schools, are staging “a sleep intervention.”
