A peek inside human brain shows a way it cleans out waste
WASHINGTON -- A unique peek inside the human brain may help explain how it clears away waste like the kind that can build up and lead to Alzheimer’s disease. “I was skeptical,” said Dr. Juan Piantino of Oregon Health & Science University, whose team reported the findings Monday. Cerebrospinal fluid uses channels surrounding blood vessels to get deep into tissue and move waste until it exits the brain. It’s a small but potentially important study that Rochester’s Dr. Maiken Nedergaard predicted will increase interest in how brain waste clearance connects to people’s health. Additional larger studies in healthy people are needed and Piantino, whose lab focuses on sleep health, wants to find an easier, more noninvasive test.

Removal of Parking in front of Local businesses on K Street in Arcata.
What is/are your opinions on the proposed removal of parking on K Street in front of local businesses? I do not support removal of parking on K Street. Gregory DaggettMy view on this issue is not to remove parking on K Street and to encourage bicyclist to use a much safer route on L Street. K Street businesses in the present and future will need parking, bus stops, loading and unloading locations to function. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/10/magazine/dangerous-driving.htmlStacy Atkins-SalazarAs someone who owns a business on K Street I have had to recuse myself on this issue and must leave the decision making to my peers on the council.

Trump secretly sent covid tests to Putin during 2020 shortage, new book says
As the coronavirus tore through the world in 2020, and the United States and other countries confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use. AdvertisementThe book does not describe what the two men purportedly discussed, and it quotes a Trump campaign official casting doubt on the supposed contact. According to Woodward, one of Trump’s national security advisers, Keith Kellogg, secretly met with Netanyahu during a trip to Israel earlier this year. Biden, according to Woodward, felt past Russian aggression had been badly mismanaged by his predecessors, including the one he had served, Barack Obama. “The Israelis always do this,” was the reaction of Brett McGurk, Biden’s Middle East coordinator, according to the book.

El Segundo Boeing workers file whistleblower lawsuits alleging retaliation
Late last year, Boeing employee Craig Garriott says a 4-ton satellite inside an El Segundo plant fell after engineers failed to properly secure a clamp. In the lawsuit, the veteran Boeing employee alleges that his employer retaliated against him for speaking out about problems he saw at Boeing and Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing defense contractor that makes small satellites. “I will say that this case is not just a case of retaliation,” said Leonard Sansanowicz, an attorney representing Garriott. “The punches just keep landing one after the other.”AdvertisementBoeing acquired Millennium Space Systems in 2018 for an undisclosed amount. The lawsuits allege the stress of the retaliation has caused the couple to separate several times since their 2021 marriage.

Jets fire Robert Saleh in shocking move: reports
The New York Jets made the first stunning head-coaching decision of the 2024 season on Tuesday as they reportedly fired Robert Saleh after five games. Jeff Ulbrich will reportedly take over as the team’s interim head coach. Rodgers and Saleh both did gymnastics trying to maintain the line that they had a good relationship. Saleh had been the Jets’ head coach since 2021 after spending four seasons as the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator. He was 20-36 as the Jets’ head coach and never won more than seven games while at the helm.
