U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz will debate tonight in Dallas.
Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke will square off tonight in the first of three debates.
The series opener takes place at 6 p.m. at Southern Methodist University, with the next two are scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 30 in Houston and Tuesday, Oct. 16, in San Antonio.
But don't worry if you can't make the jaunt up I-35.
Alamo City residents can livestream tonight's debate via the website of KXAS-TV, the Dallas NBC affiliate; the Dallas Morning News website; and the Texas Tribune. San Antonio's Texas Public Radio will carry it on air.
For those who like watching with a partisan support group, the O'Rourke campaign has organized a San Antonio watch party at Burleson Beer Garden, and there's also one sponsored by the Bexar County Democratic Party. We couldn't find a local Cruz-sponsored event (but please let us know if you're aware of one).
Nonpartisan-and-boozy also looks to be an option. El Luchador is holding an unofficial watch party, as is the Alamo Drafhouse in New Braunfels.
NORWALK >> Norwalk police say they have arrested a high school student after discovering she created a “hit list” of 29 other students.
Authorities disclosed Thursday the girl was charged Monday with 29 counts of misdemeanor breach of peace. Her name was not released because of juvenile offender laws.
Lt. Terrence Blake says Norwalk police began investigating Saturday after someone found a letter the girl wrote in January that listed the 29 other Norwalk High School students and threatened to harm them.
Blake says it was a “veiled” threat and authorities don’t believe the girl had access to weapons. He says it’s not clear why she was upset at other students.
School officials say they contacted parents of students mentioned in the letter Sunday night.
At 2560 x 1600 we're just 2 FPS away from that 60 FPS average we want to see with the overclocked HD 5830 from HIS. A small detail drop would get us that extra few FPS, though. As for the other resolutions, we see a nice little bump in performance.
MRI may be an effective way to diagnose mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, according to experts from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. In a landmark study using advanced techniques, the researchers were able to correctly distinguish bipolar patients from healthy individuals based on their brain scans...
Currently, most mental illnesses are diagnosed based on symptoms only, creating an urgent need for new approaches to diagnosis. In bipolar disorder, there may be a significant delay in diagnosis due to the complex clinical presentation of the illness. In this study, Sophia Frangou, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Chief...
"Bipolar disorder affects patients' ability to regulate their emotions successfully, which puts them at great disadvantage in their lives," said Dr. Frangou. "The situation is made worse by unacceptably long delays, sometimes of up to 10 years, in making the correct diagnosis. Bipolar disorder may be easily misdiagnose...
Dr. Frangou and her team used MRI to scan the brains of people with bipolar disorder and of healthy individuals. Using advanced computational models, they were successful in correctly separating people with bipolar disorder from healthy individuals with 73 percent accuracy using their brain imaging scans alone. They re...
Dr. Simmons added, "The level of accuracy we achieved is comparable to that of many other tests used in medicine. Additionally, brain scanning is very acceptable to patients as most people consider it a routine diagnostic test."
"This approach does not undermine the importance of rigorous clinical assessment and the importance of building relationships with patients but provides biological justification for the type of diagnosis made," said Dr. Frangou. "However, diagnostic imaging for psychiatry is still under investigation and not ready for ...
Dr. Frangou recently joined Mount Sinai as Chief of the Psychosis Research Program in the Division of Psychiatric Genomics in the Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai. A leading authority on neuroimaging in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Dr. Frangou was recruited to Mount Sinai to establish a clinical and trans...

It is about time Stagecoach did something about the poor service it runs on longer distance routes.
Over the years it has amalgamated different routes into one so one has to go ‘all around the houses’ to get anywhere. In the last three weeks during my bus travels two 98 and two 51 buses have not turned up. If travelling towards Eastbourne at least one has the chance of something eventually turning up, but what about ...
Stagecoach also seems to use its most run-down buses on the longer routes whereas their newer stock stays within the town area. This morning the 98 due out of Eastbourne about 8.40am got as far as just off the dual carriageway into Hailsham when it came to a halt. The driver got off with a mobile and stood outside. She...
We just sat there while she stayed outside. After some while she got back on again but said nothing. Someone then called out “what is going on?” and she said the bus had overheated and she was waiting for an engineer to come either from Eastbourne or Hastings. Some passengers got off, but too far for me to walk into Ha...
As no more information was forthcoming (she could see I was on a walking stick) I got off and waited hoping I could flag a bus down coming into Hailsham thinking that she could have found out this information and assisted, but obviously public relations is not part of their training!
I had to abort my journey as I would have been too late arriving in Bexhill, got into Hailsham on the next bus and came home. It’s a pity there is not a compensation system like the air and train services, but I guess Stagecoach would be overwhelmed! No wonder people are not leaving their cars to use public transport.
Parliament must “seriously consider” levying a tax on meat to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help to render the farming industry carbon neutral, the Green party MP, Caroline Lucas, is urging.
She will say on Friday that a meat tax in the UK could be offset for more sustainable meat producers, such as organic livestock farmers, through more money for sustainable agriculture schemes.
Lucas will tell the Oxford Farming Conference, an annual gathering of farmers from across the UK, that the country must prioritise “more humane and human-scale methods of livestock farming, together with support for farmers to transition to less livestock”.
“If the world’s diet doesn’t change, we simply can’t avoid the worst effects of climate change,” Lucas will say, in a stark warning timed to coincide with the push for people to adopt a vegan diet for a month, the “Veganuary” movement.
She said that it would take “more than motivated consumers to bring about sustainability” in agriculture. Globally, livestock rearing is estimated to be responsible for about 15% of greenhouse gas emissions.
Lucas has tabled a parliamentary motion to require farming to be net zero in emissions as quickly as possible, which would involve ways to reduce fertiliser use and increase the amount of organic matter in the nation’s soils, both issues that Michael Gove, the environment secretary, also espouses.
But the notion of Veganuary has come under attack from some at the conference, with the National Sheep Association (NSA) claiming the movement, which encourages people to give up animal products for the month and consider permanent changes to their diet for health and environmental reasons, was part of a “campaign agai...
Phil Stocker, chief executive of the NSA, defended British sheep farming as working to improve the environment rather than causing damage to it. “Our concern is that our unique, grass-based method of sheep production in Britain is hidden within more global and general statistics,” he said.
He contrasted the UK’s sheep farming, which includes many upland areas unsuitable for other forms of agriculture and is one of the least intensive forms of livestock farming, with the megafarms and feedlots that characterise beef, pork and poultry production in many parts of the world, chiefly the US but increasingly b...
“We are seeing criticisms from welfare campaigners, rewilders, climate change campaigners and health campaigners – but all these are connected and ignore the fact that UK sheep farming works very much in harmony with our environment, our landscapes and our human ecology, creating a countryside the majority of the publi...
Stocker said he opposed a meat tax: “The right meat, consumed sensibly, should be incentivised and not taxed. Sheep production is not damaging to the environment or to health – sheep mainly eat grass and grass is part of a complex and natural cycling of carbon, with soil storing carbon in organic matter.
Earlier Gove told the conference that advances in synthetic biology meant that in the future we would be able to create traditional farming products such as meat, milk or eggs in laboratories, adding that “the potential for Britain to lead in this revolution is huge”.

For the third time, Greg Olsen is the Carolina Panthers' nominee for the esteemed Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.
"It's tremendously humbling," the standout tight end told NFL.com. "This is the third time to be nominated by the Panthers -- a organization that has a lot of other well-deserving players that they could have chosen from that are not only good players but also do a lot in the community. To be chosen three years in a ro...
For Olsen, personal experiences inspired him to give back to his community.
"When I was a junior in high school, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer," Olsen said. "To see her struggle and go through chemo, radiation and surgery, and all those things made a huge impact on us as a family. ... That was something we always said if we were able to make a difference, we would try to do so."
In 2009, Olsen created Receptions for Research: The Greg Olsen Foundation. The foundation's Receiving Hope program focuses on cancer research and education programming. The program has distributed over $524,000 to six hospitals and foundations nationwide, with fundraising events led by Olsen.
When adversity struck the Olsen family again, the tight end saw it as another way to broaden the foundationâs objectives.
"In 2012, I had a son born with very severe congenital heart defect that was life-threatening and required him to go through a series of open-heart surgeries, as young as two days old, and subsequent other procedures," Olsen said. "[This experience] opened our eyes to these families out there. From that point forward, ...
Olsen traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina, in February 2013 to lobby the North Carolina House of Representatives for legislation that would require mandatory heart disease screenings for newborns. The bill was ratified in July 2014.
Additionally, Olsen and his wife Kara founded The HEARTest Yard Fund in 2013.
"Our main efforts for our foundation is our HEARTest Yard program that we run here in Charlotte at Levine Children's Hospital," Olsen said. "We just launched a couple weeks ago -- my wife and I and our foundation are funding the first of its kind in our region -- a cardiovascular and neurodevelopment center that we're ...
"We provide a service of free in-home health care: doctors, nurses, therapists, tailor-made to each individual family upon discharge following their first open-heart procedure. It kind of carries them through the next four to six months of transitioning. ... We've been contacted by other centers throughout the country ...
On the field, 2017 has been less than ideal for Olsen, who battled a foot injury that sidelined him for most of the regular season. Though the Panthers were without their top tight end, they remained competitive and are heading to the NFC playoffs.
"It's been a tough year, personally, just dealing with injury and struggling with that for the first time in my career," Olsen said. "... We're right in the hunt, the guys have done a great job all year ... and controlling our own fate has been a great position to be in."
The Panthers clinched a playoff berth last week and square off against the Atlanta Falcons in their final regular-season tilt on Sunday.
To further celebrate the 32 team nominees, Nationwide, the presenting sponsor of the award, is promoting the third annual Charity Challenge. Fans are encouraged to post #WPMOYChallenge and their favorite nominee's last name on social media through Sunday, Jan. 7. The nominee who receives the most hashtag mentions will ...

I spent a good portion of one of my mornings last week in a meeting. That part is not unusual. What was unusual was the topic: I'm on a committee that has the unenviable task of evaluating my employer's health care coverage and sorting out competing offers from insurance companies who say, very earnestly, that they wan...
Sitting through the meeting last week I couldn't help but flash at times to thoughts about our education system and where it may be headed. It seems reasonable to me to think that the health care "industry," as we call it, offers a cautionary tale for those of us concerned about the future of public education. Let me s...
We all probably know the outlines of the problem where health care is concerned: health care costs have been accelerating at an unsustainable pace, and finding a way to ensure that everyone has affordable coverage is becoming more and more difficult. (Astute observers will note that this is a problem across a number of...
What hasn't worked, of course, is that ACA ("Obamacare") was layered on top of an existing health care delivery system that pulls in a very different direction than ACA does. Where the Affordable Care Act is designed to push us closer to the goal of universal health coverage as a fundamental right, the system we have f...
The system is messy, expensive, and unsatisfying because private insurers are necessarily driven by the need to make their businesses profitable. To do that they offer us choices—lots and lots of choices. Because it's very difficult to get hundreds (or even thousands) of people to agree on what they want, insurance com...
What bothers me about this is not only that it forces people to make excruciatingly difficult decisions for themselves (and their families) without having all the information laid out in front of them, but that it also, by giving us the illusion of choice, leads us to think that ultimately we're responsible for how thi...
In the process we forget the fact that maybe we shouldn't have had to make that decision in the first place. I know that sounds naive—if everybody gets a Cadillac health plan, we're told, we'll all just give up on trying to be healthy and take advantage of the system and costs will spiral out of control—but just becaus...
Of course we can't have that system as long as insurance companies have to find a way to finagle a profit out of us in the process. And this is where we circle back to the education system. Why would we trade a system that ensures that every single child has access to education for one resembling our health care system...
Okay, then, we're told. At least we have to admit that the system has failed too many kids for too long. Breaking up the "government school monopoly" will bring much-needed innovation to the education sector and give those kids who have been left behind a fighting chance at a good life. But the idea that public schools...
The truth is that our ongoing national experiment with school choice has simply reinforced the idea that not all schools are the same—I like to think we knew that already—and that the people running them are really the variables that determine their effectiveness. The only thing school choice has definitively proven is...
To me the only choice we need to make is this one: we need to commit to public education for everybody, not just for those lucky enough to win an enrollment lottery or lucky enough to have parents who live in the right zip code. The illusion of choice, as it exists now, simply helps redirect resources away from the pla...
