Areas where U.S. women had to travel more than 30 miles for an abortion were largely i n Iowa, Texas, Missouri and Montana. The latter three states have adopted more abortion restrictions during the s tudy period.The researchers looked at the Guttmacher Institute Abortion Provider Census and other national datasets to estimate average travel times for women seeking abortions in the United States. In the U.S., it estimated that 45% of pregnancies are unintended and 42% will end in abortion, according to the report.Women living in cities had closer access to abortion clinics, the report found, but women living in rural counties in Montana, Texas, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas had to travel more than 180 miles.Overall, the researchers say that how far women have to travel to clinics remained largely unchanged from 2011 to 2014, the time period the researchers studied. In seven states, distances to clinics have grown, and in nine states, distances have gotten shorter. Since many states have laws that require women to have 18- to 72-hour waiting

A Japanese medical expert said on Tuesday that the Tokyo Olympics, which have already been delayed a year, might not go off as planned unless a vaccination is available; the head of the Tokyo organizing committee indicated cancellation of the Olympics would be a possibility. The French prime minister announced on Tuesday that France pro soccer season would be cancelled; the next season could begin in September at the earliest. In the United States, a patchwork of state laws dictating when economies will reopen and when people can start using athletic facilities again is sure to complicate comeback plans for the NBA, MLB and other major American sports leagues.One plan, however, is already in place: if Germany pro soccer league, the Bundesliga, makes its expected return sometime in May, one team will have cardboard likenesses of its actual fans in the stands to greet them.That rig ht: supporters of Borussia Mouml;nchengladbach, the German club that currently sits in fourth in the Bundesliga standings, have developed a novel oddball concept mdash; one worth replicating around the world if coronavirus-era sport Lxzm Deutsche Bank Races Against Time to Reach U.S. Settlement Michelle Pedonemdash;Getty ImagesBy Martha C.

You have your mobile apps updated, your favorite sites bookma rked, your filing system ready to go mdash; and you should really just stop. Put down the circular for a minute. Yes, coupons can save you money, but if you just assume they ;ll always give you the best deal, think again.Frugal-living bloggers know a thing or two about coupons, so we asked some to identify situations where a quote-unquote great deal can end up taking money out of your wallet. Here why and how they say eve n avid couponers can get tripped up.You ignore generics. If an item is available in the bulk section or as a generic store version, it usually less expensive than the coupon-discounted price on name brands, says Sara Tetreault, who blogs at GoGingham. For example, she says she recently passed over a coupon for fluoride rinse because even with two bucks off, the price was still more than the house brand. The same holds true for dollar stores. Yes, ther e some stuff you probably don ;t want to buy there, but some items will cost less there than at a grocery or big-box store, even with a coupon.Your deals expire.

Rjjz DLA Aviation leaders visit Troop Support AI21 Labs, DatabricksAs the forces of open-source generative AI try to counter the closed-source AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic, one of their key weapons will be the efficiency gains from running smaller models that take less time to train, less energy, fewer computing resources, and, as a result, less money. In that vein, last week brought two new open-source large language models that compete with the best of closed-source code from OpenAI and Anthropic.

Eabn Uber Is About to Make Traveling Much Easier By Nicola ChiltonAugust 26, 2022 1:16 PM EDTThe shimmering torus-shaped Museum of the Future in Dubai is covered in Arabic calligraphy and is supported not by the traditional columns but by a steel diagrid, with a facade of 1,024 steel panels. The aviation industry provided inspiration for the technology needed to create the exterior that was developed using learning algorithms. All the parameters structurally were put into a program, and e ventually it learned to create this shape, says architect Shaun Killa.Opened in February 2022, the building is an iconic addition to Dubairsquo already dramatic skyline, which includes the sail 8211 haped Burj Al Arab and the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. These modern, globally recognizable structures have made a name for Dubairsquo architecture, but the story of Dubairsquo urban landscape goes back much further. Often the story is that since the 2000s itrsquo been a place of gleaming skyscrapers, says architect and writer Todd Reisz, author of Showpiece City: How Architecture Made Dubai.Shaun Killa, design partner at Killa Design, at the Museum of the Future on July 27Siddharth Siva for TIMEBut the creative fusion seen in the architecture of structures like Killarsquo Museum of the Future goes deeper.

He was scheduled to attend the Interethnic Interfaith Leadership Conference in the northern town of Dharamsala where exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama currently resides from April 30 to May 1.No explanations were given. No Indian official called me personally to convey this decision, Isa told the Hindu from Berlin, where he is attending a conference on the rights of Uighur refugees. Itrsquo a very sad situation for us, he added.The Uighurs are a Muslim, Turkic people living mostly in Chinarsquo far-western Xinjiang autonomous region, where they number some 10 million. They have long maintained that they face political and cultural oppression since comin g under Beijing rule in 1949.Ma ny on Indian social media slammed the decision and accused New Delhi of capitulating to Chinese pressure following the issuance of a visa to the dissident leader, whom Beij Fbuz Christian Cult Leader and Child Sex Abuser Tony Alamo Dies in Federal Custody By Chris WilsonMarch 11, 2016 12:10 PM ESTAt Thursday night Republican debate in Florida, conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt asked John Kasich what should happen if Donald Trump fails to amass the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination.You know, math doesn ;t tell the whole story in politics, Kasich said as he largely dodged the question.What the de legate math does tell us is that a brokered convention is very possible. While Donal d Trump has benefited enormously from having his opposition split between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, it has come at a cost: He is not accumulating delegates fast enough to ensure that he will hit the magic number 1,237mdash;over half the total number of delegatesmdash;by the time the last state has voted.To see just how thin his margin is, TIME built an interactive primary calculator that lets you enter your prediction for votes in the remaining contests and games out the delegate count accordingly.The calculator has the allocation rules for each state baked into the math, so the results represent the closest possible approximation of how the delegates would be divided based on your input. Most importantly, you can manipulate the outcome of individual states to build a more nuanced scenario.Interestingly, if Trump loses just one of the winner-take-all contests, like Florida or Ohio, the odds that he can clinch the n omination with his typical share of the vote, around 35% or so, plummets significantly.

Their findings were published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Although the drugs do not cure the disease, which scars and thickens the lungs making it hard to breathe, researchers called the findings a major breakthrough for an ailment that until now has had no treatment at all.I suspect that many of my patients have picked up on more than a hint of frustration in my voice when I tell them that the cause of their shortness of breath is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Dr. Ga ry M. Hunninghake, a lung specialist at Brigham and Womenrsquo Hospital in Boston, wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.

Dave 038; Busters, which bills itself as the largest operator of entertainment centers in the world, is working on the betting features for the app with Lucra, a gamification software company founded in 2019.
