Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:13:05 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - One GOP Missouri lawmaker defended a 12-year-old's right to get married during a debate about anti-transgender care legislation earlier this week. Missouri State Sen. Mike Moon (R-Ash Grove) said on the floor Tuesday that he knew at least one person who got married at 12 years old and followed up with a comment of "Guess what, they're still married." State Rep. Aaron Crosley (D-Independence) brought forth attention to Moon's remarks via Twitter, sharing a video of the floor debate late Wednesday that was largely met with criticism among viewers. Top Story: Missouri students physically restrained, secluded thousands of times In the video, State Rep. Peter Merideth (D-St. Louis) was addressing Moon and discussed his support of "parents' rights to raise their kids how they want." Merideth then points out that Moon did not want to make it illegal for children at the age of 12 to get married, as long as they had consent of parents. As the exchange progresses, Moo...

Cardinals will not extend alcohol sales amid shortened games

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:13:05 GMT

ST. LOUIS - If you plan to attend a St. Louis Cardinals game in the future, you might notice games ending sooner due to MLB's new pace-of-play rules. For now, the same also applies to alcohol sales at the games.The St. Louis Cardinals announced Wednesday that the team will not extend alcohol sales past the traditional cutoff point of the seventh inning. RELATED - Jordan Walker matches MLB record for rookie-debut hitting streak That means, whether the game is a fast pitcher's duel that wraps up in around two hours or slugfest that stretches well beyond average pace, the end of the seventh inning will remain the last call for beer and other alcohol sales. Due to MLB's pace-of-play rules, dropping the duration of games by nearly half an hour on average, some teams have decided to extend alcohol sales at their home ballparks to give fans more time to grab a drink. The division-rival Milwaukee Brewers were the first team to announce extended hours last week. In Missouri, the Kansas Ci...

There’s so much to love about tofu

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:13:05 GMT

By Andrea Nguyen, The New York TimesThese are good times for tofu lovers, with an expanding market and growing options.When Jenny Yang bought the Chicago-based company Phoenix Bean in 2006, she was keeping it from going out of business. Now, she is among a number of producers who are expanding offerings to include items like Chinese-style smoked tofu and tofu noodles.“Tofu is not just a block,” said Yang, whose small-batch products feature local ingredients like Illinois soybeans grown specifically for her brand and Great Lakes water. “We have baked, we have shredded tofu, we have flavored.”Tofu is a staple of cooking in China, where it was invented 2,000 years ago, and throughout Asia. In the United States, tofu consumption has roughly doubled — to 9% of domestic households — since before the pandemic, according to Pulmuone Foods, the country’s leading producer. (The market is estimated at $142 million, up from $100.6 million in 2019.) And makers are preparing for even greate...

Lake Mead's unexpected April water level rise continues

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:13:05 GMT

In a surprising move, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is releasing much more water from Lake Powell in an effort to shore up Lake Mead's water level, KTLA sister station KLAS in Las Vegas reports. But how much it will help and how long this will last is not known at this time.Beginning on April 1, 2023, Reclamation began the process of releasing more than twice the previously scheduled amount of water downriver through the Glen Canyon Dam. "The release volume from Glen Canyon Dam for April 2023 will be increased to 910,000 acre-feet because of the increased snowpack throughout March," Reclamation Public Affairs Officer Becki Bryant told 8 News Now.Historic (10-year) Release volumes from Lake Powell.

NOAA issues El Niño watch: What this could mean for California

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:13:05 GMT

Move aside La Niña – it's almost time for El Niño to take over.National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center issued an "El Niño watch" Thursday morning, saying the climate pattern is expected to form sooner than previously anticipated. After La Niña ended last month, we entered "ENSO-neutral" conditions, which means neither La Niña nor El Niño is present. Those neutral conditions were expected to end at some point in the summer or early fall. But as of Thursday, it looks as though the timeline has moved up. Forecasters said there is a 62% chance El Niño will take over between May and July. The probability that El Niño will form by fall is even higher, between 80% and 90%. What would that mean for our weather? We usually feel the strongest effects of El Niño as we get closer to winter. An El Niño fall and winter would be the inverse of what we’ve seen the last three years. It would likely mean a cold, wet winter for the Southern U.S. A strong El Niño, in...
