A township ordinance that limits firing guns to indoor and outdoor shooting ranges and zoning that significantly restricts where the ranges can be located does not violate the Second Amendment, Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. The man who challenged Stroud Township's gun laws, Jonathan Barris, began to draw complaints about a year after he moved to the home in the Poconos in 2009 and installed a shooting range on his 5-acre property. An officer responding to a complaint said the range had a safe backstop but the targets were in line with a large box store in a nearby shopping...

OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research lab responsible for creating the ChatGPT AI models, has sparked concern about society’s readiness for advanced AI systems, such as the hypothetical ChatGPT-5. The statement, made by an OpenAI employee, suggests that the organization is intentionally not sharing certain AI technologies widely, hoping to prompt a social response to prepare for more advanced systems. Over the last 18 months artificial intelligence (AI) has been pushing the boundaries of what computers can do. OpenAI the company responsible for the explosion in AI applications thanks to its release of ChatGPT 3 last year, has recently taken...

DUBAI/ADEN/LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) – Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis claimed responsibility for an attack on a UK-owned cargo ship and a drone assault on an American destroyer on Thursday, and they targeted Israel’s port and resort city of Eilat with ballistic missiles and drones. The statement by a Houthi representative on social media site X came shortly after the group’s leader said it was ramping up attacks on ships in the Red Sea and other waters – including with new “submarine weapons” -to mirror Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip.

Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz: Horrendous. The cult of death amongst Palestinians will take generations to reverse. It’s a poisonous ideology that also infected Germans, Japanese et al until they were resoundedly defeated and rebuilt. Love of life will always defeat the love of death.

Explanation: This supernova shock wave plows through interstellar space at over 500,000 kilometers per hour. Centered and moving upward in the sharply detailed color composite its thin, bright, braided filaments are actually long ripples in a cosmic sheet of glowing gas seen almost edge-on. Discovered in the 1840s by Sir John Herschel, the narrow-looking nebula is sometimes known as Herschel's Ray. Cataloged as NGC 2736, its pointed appearance suggests its modern popular name, the Pencil Nebula. The Pencil Nebula is about 800 light-years away. Nearly 5 light-years long it represents only a small part of the Vela supernova remnant though....

"Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. "But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink...

A man left a “trail of blood in his wake” dragging a suitcase later found to contain his roommate’s body, Tennessee authorities said. Now, 32-year-old Julian Summers has been convicted on charges of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse, the Shelby County District Attorney said Feb. 20. Summers’ attorney Mark Mesler told McClatchy News they plan to appeal on a few issues. One of those came up during the confession, which Mesler said continued even after Summers requested a lawyer. On Dec. 12, 2021, Summers hit the sleeping man’s head with a hammer at the Memphis apartment they shared,...

Here's another perspective on the Democrat-sponsored illegal invasion currently destroying America. Thoughtful concerned American citizens are witnessing an engineered cancer rotting the political integrity of our nation. That cancer is the wide open border of the current Democrat administration and its donors and cohorts in Congress. The strategy is the red carpet welcoming of millions, if not tens of millions, of unvetted, unvaccinated illegals. This scheme, a shadow insurrection really, is completely the work of Joseph Biden and those handling his policy decisions. Given this president's obvious and alarming mental decline, it's clear some political cabal is managing this invasion...

Understanding cloud patterns in our changing climate is essential to making accurate predictions about their impact on society and nature. Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology published a study in the journal Science Advances that uses a high-resolution global climate model to understand how the clustering of clouds and storms impacts rainfall extremes in the tropics. They show that with rising temperatures, the severity of extreme precipitation events increases. Extreme rainfall is one of the most damaging natural disasters costing human lives and causing billions in damage. Their frequency has been...

I find the popular serving recommendations for a healthy diet both unrealistic and vague to the point of uselessness. For instance, the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet recommends 'four to five servings each of fruits and vegetables, six servings of whole grains, and two or three servings of low-fat dairy per day.' Other dietary recommendations push seven to eight 'servings' of fruits and vegetables per day. So, what in the HELL is a "serving?" We're almost never told. Regardless, how can anyone fit that much food, much less just fruits and vegetables into their belly in a day?...

The biggest individual contributions to Donald Trump's and Robert F. Kennedy Jr's 2024 presidential Super PACs in January both came from the same longtime Republican mega-donor, according to filings. Timothy Mellon, heir to the Mellon banking fortune, donated $5 million to the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. fundraising attempts in January, as well $5 million to a Super PAC supporting the Democrat-turned-independent's presidential bid the same month, Federal Election Commission (FEC) listings reveal. Mellon, the grandson of former U.S. treasury secretary Andrew Mellon, is known to be a longtime donor to Republicans such as Trump. He gave $20 million to the Trump-aligned...

New research funded by the Department of Energy has created a potentially revolutionary lithium battery that can be fully charged in only five minutes. State-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, which power everything from mobile phones to electric cars, can take hours to fully charge, frustrating electric vehicle owners and high-volume phone users alike. The Cornell University researchers behind the new lithium battery caution that the design has limitations, including a high weight that may make it impractical for some applications. Still, they say that their discovery could point the way to other materials that share the same fast-charging properties without the same...

To paraphrase Stalin about the Pope: How many nukes does Greta Thunberg have? On Thursday's The Lead on CNN, in a segment he entitled "Biden Unfiltered," anchor Jake Tapper reported Biden telling a group of high-rolling San Francisco donors that although Putin is a "crazy SOB, and we always have to be worried about nuclear conflict," the real existential threat is climate change.Get the rest of the story and view the video here. Tapper also highlighted Biden saying that he served with a "real racist," Strom Thurmond, but that today's GOP is worse. Not surprising from Biden, given that in...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A new analysis is adding fuel to the feud over the proposed Philadelphia 76ers arena on Market East. University of Pennsylvania grad and University of Washington professor Albert Alcoin released a study Thursday showing what he says could be economic consequences to businesses and tax revenue if the arena moves forward. "There are clearly some potential negative impacts on businesses that need to be taken into account," Alcoin said. Alcoin based his analysis on a 2022 study that found there were "little to no tangible impacts of sports teams and facilities on local economies. From there, Alcoin...
