A letter from Sol del Valle’s editora – The Sopris Sun
On Feb. 21, 2026, I marked my second anniversary at the helm of Sol del Valle. Two years ago, I was given the opportunity and the trust to take the reins of Sol del Valle. Not long ago, I heard someone say that Sol del Valle is one of the most complete newspapers in the region. For me, Sol del Valle has been an extraordinary opportunity — not only professionally, but also personally and as a mother. Because in the end, Sol del Valle has always been, and will always be, a reflection of our people.

Thirty Reasons To Love Cornell in the Spring Semester Slump From Thirty Students
Yet rather than compile a list, I decided it was more impactful to let the Cornell community speak for itself. I’m an international student, and Cornell is a community of belonging in which students can feel at home. I made a really nice group of friends here. Before I began compiling the list from 30 students, I thought I would receive 30 individual reasons. I did not simply find a list of 30 generic reasons why college is fun.

Oil prices jump despite strategic reserve release
LONDON, March 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A record release of oil from strategic reserves by IEA nations failed to ease concerns about the impact from the Middle East war, with crude prices pushing further higher and stocks sliding on Wednesday. The move to release oil stocks came as Iran said it was ready for a long war of attrition that would "destroy" the world economy, after firing on two commercial ships and threatening any vessels from the US or its allies. Despite the IEA announcement oil prices added to gains. While it may be a record reserves release, it still only replaces part of the lost supplies, noted analyst Helge Andre Martinsen at DNB Carnegie. He estimated that releases from strategic reserves could total 1.75 million barrels per day, while lost supply is approximately 11 million barrels per day of crude and around four million barrels per day of oil products.

US warns of possible strikes on Iran's civilian ports
US warns of possible strikes on Iran's civilian portsWASHINGTON, United States, Mar 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The United States on Wednesday warned Iranians that it considers civilian ports in the Strait of Hormuz to be legitimate targets, alleging the Tehran government was using the facilities for military operations. "The Iranian regime is using civilian ports along the Strait of Hormuz to conduct military operations that threaten international shipping," the US military said in a statement. "Civilian ports used for military purposes lose protected status and become legitimate military targets under international law." "Iranian dockworkers, administrative personnel, and commercial vessel crews should avoid Iranian naval vessels and military equipment." On Tuesday, the United States said it had carried out strikes that destroyed 16 mine-laying vessels that could have been used to block the strait, a vital sea lane for Gulf oil and gas exports.

WWII bomb in Dresden defused after city centre evacuation
DRESDEN, Germany, March 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - An unexploded World War II bomb was successfully defused in the German city of Dresden on Wednesday, police said, after it caused a huge evacuation operation. The 250-kilogramme (550-pound) British bomb was found on Tuesday during work in the city centre to rebuild a bridge over the river Elbe that collapsed in 2024. The discovery caused officials to evacuate 18,000 people on Wednesday, the largest such operation ever in the eastern German city, emergency services said. It said in a statement that bomb disposal specialists "removed the detonator of the bomb at 3:10 pm before exploding it", while the bomb itself was also removed from the site. World War II bombs were previously found and defused at the bridge site in January and August 2025, with thousands of people affected each time.
