SACRAMENTO — California will close Interstate 5 today after military officials confirmed Saturday that live-fire artillery rounds will be shot over the freeway, prompting state officials to shut down the freeway in an unprecedented move that will undoubtedly cause massive gridlock.Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized the White House for failing to coordinate or share safety information ahead of the the Marine Corps 250th anniversary celebration titled “Sea to Shore — A Review of Amphibious Strength,” which will feature Vice President JD Vance.The closure will cover 17 miles from Harbor Drive in Oceanside to Basilone Road near San Onofre and will be in effect…

The pub itself is an astounding palimpsest of history, having served various roles over six centuries, including a factory, a school, a private house, and even a brief stint as a dentist’s office.  Its name honours the travelling brushmakers who used the vale of Upham as a base, fashioning brushes from local hazel sticks and selling their wares across the countryside.  Adding to its deep history, the structure also briefly served as Oliver Cromwell’s campaign headquarters in 1645 during the English Civil War, as he advanced on Winchester.  Yet, despite this notable military connection, the strongest spiritual signal comes not…

I, for one, love and appreciate the work that Shiel Wood is doing with this Texas Tech defense. It’s been a thrill to see the way that he’s overhauled things for a program that traditionally doesn’t exactly play great defense. And ever since he was hired, and through the first six games of this season, the Red Raiders have been playing some fantastic football on that side of the ball.Right now, there is nobody better in the Big 12 when it comes to slowing down opposing offenses. The Red Raiders are boasting the No. 1 total defense in the conference.…

A landowner in Indiana made an astonishing find earlier this year when they unearthed a piece of a skull along the Whitewater River. The discovery, which initially seemed like just another relic, turned out to be much more significant than anyone could have imagined. Radiocarbon dating revealed that the skull fragment was over 4,000 years old, providing a rare glimpse into the ancient lives of the region’s early inhabitants. The Fayette County Coroner’s Office, working alongside expert researchers, is now investigating the artifact’s origins and the cultural implications of such a discovery. Unearthing the Past: A 4,000-Year-Old Skull at the…

Army medical and public affairs personnel on a recent week-long exchange with Angolan service members set out to bridge one rather significant gap capable of making or breaking operations between allied nations: language. Part of the exchange, which matched up troops from U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa, with personnel from the Angolan Military Health Division, sought to identify emerging, scalable tech capable of real-time language translation in what could one day be high-stress environments in which interpreters are not readily available.As select personnel in the exchange trained on an array of medical procedures, others, like 1st Lt. Tucker…
