A Utah city violated the First Amendment in denying a drag show permit, judge rules

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:41:40 GMT

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The city of St. George must issue a permit for a Utah-based group that organizes drag performances to host an all-ages drag show in a public park, a federal judge ruled, calling the city’s attempt to stop the show unconstitutional discrimination. “Public spaces are public spaces. Public spaces are not private spaces. Public spaces are not majority spaces,” U.S. District Judge David Nuffer wrote in a Friday ruling granting the preliminary injunction requested by the group. “The First Amendment of the United States Constitution ensures that all citizens, popular or not, majority or minority, conventional or unconventional, have access to public spaces for public expression.”Southern Utah Drag Stars and its CEO, Mitski Avalōx, sued the city of St. George in May after the city denied the group permits for an all-ages show it aimed to host in a public park in April. A complaint filed in federal court accused city officials of “flagrant and ongoing violations o...

What are Mormon crickets? They're invading parts of the U.S.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:41:40 GMT

ELKO, Nevada (KLAS/NEXSTAR) — It may only be a few inches long but it's cannibalistic and can create disgust and disruption. A small Nevada town is being overrun with the so-called Mormon crickets. "Biblical" is how some are describing this infestation of millions of insects. They are blanketing the ground, crawling up walls, infesting buildings, and terrorizing some of the residents of Elko, a small town in northeastern Nevada. ‘Go Away Green’: The color Disney paints things it doesn’t want you to see at its parks "When we looked out here the whole wall was just covered. That really, really freaked me out," Colette Reynolds said.Despite its name, the large insect is a flightless katydid which is a subfamily of bush crickets and is harmless except to crops which they will gladly devour. Not only is it an agricultural pest, it's also a traffic hazard.Mormon Cricket (Getty Images)The Nevada Department of Transportation is plowing and sanding roads because the smashed bugs are makin...

Study shows AstraZeneca pill can cut deaths from a type of lung cancer in half

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:41:40 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) – An AstraZeneca drug has been shown to reduce the risk of death in some lung cancer patients by more than half, according to the research. Results from a three-year-long clinical trial were released in early June and published in the Journal of New England Medicine. The data shows that when researchers administered the drug osimertinib to patients, there was a clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival compared to patients who received a placebo. “It basically doubled the cure rate in patients who got this drug,” said Dr. Boone Goodgame, medical director for Oncology at Ascension Seton. Goodgame did not contribute to this trial. The study team administered a daily pill, either of osimertinib or the placebo, to 682 study participants at several international sites. The researchers focused only on a subset of lung cancer patients with a specific gene mutation called EGFR, which accounts for about 10 to 15% of all lung cancer patients, per the Americ...

Charley Walters: Vikings’ options depend on Danielle Hunter’s holdout plans

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:41:40 GMT

Whether the Minnesota Vikings trade Danielle Hunter could depend on how much of the season the pass rusher might decide to hold out if he doesn’t receive a satisfactory new contract.Even the Vikings realize his current $5 million contract for 2023 is undervalued, and it appears the team is willing to give him a new deal, but for just one year rather than two or three years.Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter takes part in drills at the NFL football team’s practice facility in Eagan, Minn., Tuesday, May 17, 2022. (AP Photo/Bruce Kluckhohn)Hunter, who turns 29 in October, is worth at least $15 million on a one-year deal. But it’s a good bet he’s looking for a three-year contract in the $65 million range. The problem for the Vikings, who don’t want to trade Hunter, is that if they do trade him, they would lose their best pass rusher.Because of the injuries (neck, torn chest pectoral) Hunter has had, the Vikings probably could get just a second-round draft pick in a tr...
