Houston (AFP) - Several families whose children were killed or wounded in a mass shooting at their Texas school two years ago have sued the gun manufacturer as well as Instagram and video game company Activision for marketing the weapon, their lawyer said Friday. Nineteen young children and two teachers were killed in the city of Uvalde on May 24, 2022 when a teenage gunman went on a rampage with an AR-15 style assault rifle at Robb Elementary School, in America's deadliest school shooting in a decade. The families accuse the companies of wrongful death and gross negligence, saying gun manufac...

In early February, dairy farmers in the Texas Panhandle began to notice sick cattle. The buzz soon reached Darren Turley, executive director of the Texas Association of Dairymen: “They said there is something moving from herd to herd.” Nearly 60 days passed before veterinarians identified the culprit: a highly pathogenic strain of the bird flu virus, H5N1. Had it been detected sooner, the outbreak might have been swiftly contained. Now it has spread to at least eight other states, and it will be hard to eliminate. At the moment, the bird flu hasn’t adapted to spread from person to person throu...

Houston (AFP) - Relatives of children killed or wounded by a mass shooter in Uvalde two years ago have reached a $2 million settlement with the Texas city, a lawyer for the families said Wednesday. Nineteen small children and two teachers were killed when a teenage gunman went on a rampage at Robb Elementary School in May 2022 in America's worst school shooting in a decade. The response by law enforcement to the situation has come in for harsh criticism and a Justice Department probe found there were "critical failures" by police. Officers eventually shot and killed the gunman but waited more ...

HOUSTON — Patients admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital get a monitoring device about the size of a half-dollar affixed to their chest — and an unwitting role in the expanding use of artificial intelligence in health care. The slender, battery-powered gadget, called a BioButton, records vital signs including heart and breathing rates, then wirelessly sends the readings to nurses sitting in a 24-hour control room elsewhere in the hospital or in their homes. The device’s software uses AI to analyze the voluminous data and detect signs a patient’s condition is deteriorating. Hospital officials ...

El tiempo pasa y todo lo bueno llegará a su fin. Pero no le digas eso a The Rolling Stones. La que muchos creen que es la mejor banda de rock 'n' roll del mundo no mostró ningún signo de cansancio cuando iniciaron la primera parte de su nueva gira el domingo por la noche en el Estadio NRG de Houston, Texas. El grupo ha estado de gira durante más de 60 años. Su cantante Mick Jagger y el guitarrista Keith Richards tienen 80 años, y el guitarrista Ronnie Wood no se queda atrás con 76. "Es genial estar de regreso en el Estado de la Estrella Solitaria", dijo Jagger en el estadio abarrotado, lleno d...

Ingram (United States) (AFP) - Shelli Ezell wants to watch the upcoming solar eclipse so she can feel the presence of her late daughter, with whom she observed one in 2017. Grover Swartzlander actually studies these celestial phenomena and Jim Saltigerald just plain enjoys them. Indeed, as crowds gather to watch the Moon block out the Sun for a short while Monday, everybody has a reason for casting an eye at the heavens. Driving up to 20 hours or even crossing an ocean, dozens of people have set up tents or mobile homes along a river bank in Ingram, a town in south Texas, to witness something ...
