ARLINGTON, Tex. - The St. Louis Cardinals once again find themselves in the basement of the National League. The Cardinals fell to 25-36 on Monday after their fourth consecutive loss and their seventh defeat in their last nine games. The Cardinals briefly escaped the misfortune of the National League's worst record in mid-May, but dug themselves into that hole again after being swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. A walkoff loss Monday to the Texas Rangers set them back even more.

Aurora police investigating the disappearance of 5-year-old Maha Li Hobbs have concluded that her mother kept her in a closed room, and then tried to keep police from finding out about her death by lying about an adoption and burning her child’s remains, according to court documents.The police found charred remains in a plastic bag within a large shopping bag in a utility closet last week in the mother’s apartment at 1056 S. Elkhart Way, an 18th Judicial District affidavit states.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:16:56 GMT

Aurora’s interim police chief, Art Acevedo, should immediately invite the grieving family of Jor’Dell Da’Shawn Richardson into the police department to view the video recordings showing the events before, during and after an Aurora police officer shot and killed the 14-year-old.Acevedo’s attempt to describe the incident in a public briefing has left everyone confused about what transpired, and while video evidence isn’t guaranteed to offer clarity in the shooting, often the video helps a family move forward from such a devastating loss.Members of Richardson’s family visited police headquarters Monday to demand to see the video from both security cameras in the area and police officers’ body cameras, the latter of which is required by state law to be recorded during police responses and also required to be released. Police refused.Acevedo said that Richardson was part of a group of teens who robbed a small store that sold vape nicotine cartridges near Dayton and 8th Avenue in Aurora....

The Arctic will have ice-free summers as soon as the 2030s

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:16:56 GMT

By Danielle Bochove, BloombergEven in a best-case scenario, the Arctic will begin to experience summer months with no sea ice sometime around the middle of the century — sooner than leading climate scientists had predicted, new research finds.The United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggested in its most recent landmark report that the region would start to see Septembers without sea ice around 2050 if humans continue to emit greenhouse gases at high or moderate levels. However, the new study, published Tuesday in Nature Communications, says this will happen even in a low-emissions scenario. Higher emissions will result in ice-free Septembers by 2030 to 2040.“We basically are saying that it has become too late to save the Arctic summer sea ice,” said Dirk Notz, an oceanographer at the University of Hamburg in Germany who specializes in sea ice and is one of the authors of the study, as well as an IPCC report author. “There’s nothing really we can ...
