🚨 New Study Alert 🩺 Think you’re low-risk? Think again. This MESA study shows that even “low-risk” individuals may harbor hidden coronary artery calcium (CAC) — and it matters.   📈 Adding CAC scoring significantly improved ASCVD risk prediction, reclassifying up to 18% into statin-eligible groups.   🧠 Implication? Precision prevention may start with a scan.   🔗 Read in American Journal of Preventive Cardiology: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajpc.2025.101329   #Cardiology #CAC #RiskStratification

Beaks suited for opening tough, hard seeds — thick, conical beaks — evolved in more than one lineage of birds. Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are related to cardinals, which also have powerful beaks. Evening Grosbeaks belong to the finch family, which includes goldfinches and crossbills — an entire family of seedeaters. But both these grosbeaks were named before their family connections were fully understood.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter

Polk County is inviting Linn County and Johnson County to help fund a University of Iowa water quality program that’s running out of state money.

As freezing temperatures return to the forecast, protecting your home’s plumbing is about more than just good practice — it’s science.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Not every haunting is born from tragedy — some come from pure love of the stage. Built in the 1870s, the Rohs Opera House has seen laughter, heartbreak, and curtain calls for nearly a century and a half. Once destined for demolition, the historic theater was saved by the people of Cynthiana, Kentucky, who couldn’t bear to lose its charm — or its spirits. As paranormal investigator Renee Hill soon discovered, they weren’t the only ones keeping the show alive

What if the thing haunting you isn’t the house at all… but you?It began with what seemed like an ordinary move — two single mothers, five kids, a cheerful four-bedroom home. But the first night the peace shattered: a crash in the dark, kitchen utensils flung against the wall, four chairs arranged in a perfect circle around a mop bucket standing upright in the center of the table — as if unseen hands had held a midnight meeting. Soon came stranger paranormal activity: garland wound tight around

He was only seven years old when he told his mom about the girl with the black eyes and torn white dress floating by the fence. He called her Camila. Weeks later, his grandmother found an article in the library archive: a young girl named Camila had been abducted, S-A’d, and murdered near that very school decades ago.

Some hauntings come and go—but Rose always returns in the fall. From September through October, a quiet suburban home becomes the stage for a recurring haunting. Every year, the family’s resident spirit, Rose, makes her presence known. It began subtly—a black, hunched figure walking past the kitchen window, footsteps on the porch, a shadow that vanished when the door was opened. At first, they thought it was a trick of the light, until guests began to see her too. As years passed, Rose became part

This month on the Nutrient Management Podcast, we talk about a recent increase in N rate recommendations for corn. Why have these suggested nitrogen rates for corn increased over time? How are regional differences across Minnesota factored into this increase? Why does the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) method of N rate calculation bring economics into the mix? Why should growers focus on profit instead of yield? Won't a higher nitrogen rate make our SE Minnesota water issues worse? Our
