Today was the premiere of CBS's revamped Evening News. The reboot is being presented as a return to a less partisan news format. Just curious what some of you think about it. FWIW, I did find the broadcast to be generally fair in its viewpoint, if a little frenetic in its presentation.

The New North Carolina plant is aimed at selling more hybrid cars and trucks to AmericansLIBERTY, N.C.—Toyota, a longtime hybrid car and truck promoter, is making one of the industry’s biggest bets on green transportation and opening a $14 billion battery plant here. For years, Toyota held out against electric vehicles while rivals retrofitted factories and launched models in preparation for an all-electric future. Now that the EV market in the U.S. is vanishing as tax credits expire and sales disappoint, Toyota is doubling down on its hybrid strategy. The Japanese automaker’s gamble: that American consumers—many of whom won’t touch...

Brutal layoffs are hitting CBS News after its parent company announced a plan to axe more than 2,000 staff across the organization. New editor-in-chief Bari Weiss acknowledged the cuts on the network's morning editorial call Wednesday, Semafor's Max Tani reported. Weiss called it a 'enormously difficult day' for the network, according to Tani. David Ellison, the chairman of CBS News parent Paramount, broke the news about the companywide layoffs in a note to staff Wednesday morning. 'In some areas, we are addressing redundancies that have emerged across the organization,' he wrote. 'In others, we are phasing out roles that are...

In the new method, researchers from the University of Texas at Austin fired infrared light, a type of light invisible to the eye, from LED bulbs at test tubes that contained human skin cancer or colon cancer cells and healthy human skin cells. The tubes also contained nanoscopic flakes of tin oxide, or SnOx nanoflakes, which were absorbed by the cancer cells. The scientists found that when the light was fired at the cells, the nanoscopic flakes absorbed it and heated up, turning into 'microscopic heaters' that damaged cancer cells and caused them to die, while leaving the healthy cells...
