Military members file claims for fuel in Hawaii Navy water

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:30:30 GMT

HONOLULU (AP) — A Navy sailor, an Army colonel and an Army major are the first active-duty military members taking the initial step toward suing the U.S. government over jet fuel that contaminated drinking water in Hawaii. Navy Ensign Koda Freeman, Army Col. Jessica Whaley, and Army Maj. Amanda Feindt filed pre-litigation claim forms with the Navy late Monday, which will allow them to later file a federal lawsuit in Honolulu, their attorneys said. In 2021, jet fuel spilled from a drain line at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, flowed into a drinking water well and then into the Navy’s water system serving 93,000 people in and around Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Nearly 6,000 sought medical attention, complaining of ailments such as nausea, headaches and sores. The military put about 4,000 families in hotels for several months. The Hawaii Department of Health ordered the Navy to shutter the facility after the spill, which also contaminated the ground beneath the tanks and th...

Majors-most Ls do not dim Nationals pitcher Corbin’s belief

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:30:30 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — No major league pitcher lost more games in 2022 than Patrick Corbin’s 19. And none took more Ls in 2021 than Corbin’s 16. Last season’s ERA for the Washington Nationals left-hander was 6.31. A year earlier? 5.82.Hard not to notice those numbers. Hard not to comment on them. Corbin is all too aware.“Doesn’t really matter what other people are saying,” he said Tuesday in the home clubhouse at Nationals Park before Washington hosted the New York Yankees in an exhibition finale. “I just kind of believe in myself and what I’ve done.”That includes, most notably, a starring role as a starter and reliever as the Nationals won the 2019 World Series championship. If that seems as if it was forever ago, it’s probably because it is, in some ways, for a franchise that has finished last in the NL East every year since and was 55-107 in 2022.When the Nationals host the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, there will be only two players on Washington’s 26-man roster who were around for the...

Elephant in the dining room: Startup makes mammoth meatball

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:30:30 GMT

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Throw another mammoth on the barbie?An Australian company on Tuesday lifted the glass cloche on a meatball made of lab-grown cultured meat using the genetic sequence from the long-extinct pachyderm, saying it was meant to fire up public debate about the hi-tech treat.The launch in an Amsterdam science museum came just days before April 1 so there was an elephant in the room: Is this for real?“This is not an April Fools joke,” said Tim Noakesmith, founder of Australian startup Vow. “This is a real innovation.”Cultivated meat — also called cultured or cell-based meat — is made from animal cells. Livestock doesn’t need to be killed to produce it, which advocates say is better not just for the animals but also for the environment.Vow used publicly available genetic information from the mammoth, filled missing parts with genetic data from its closest living relative, the African elephant, and inserted it into a sheep cell, Noakesmith said. Given the right con...
