Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:26 GMT

You may have an idea of how much alcohol your community drinks. There may even be a certain sense of pride regarding how much or how little that is. But recently released data helps illustrate which areas in the U.S. are prone to excessive drinking and those that aren’t. Earlier this year, the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute released its 2023 County Health Rankings and Roadmaps report, which is meant to raise awareness about factors that can impact health outcomes and disparities nationwide.Researchers use numerous data points to determine the length and quality of life on a state-by-state basis. Among those factors is alcohol use, including reported excessive drinking. To determine the rates of excessive drinking per state, researchers used self-reported data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance system. For the 2023 report, the University of Wisconsin used data from 2020 — the first year of the COVID pand...

Outside Lands closes popular dance venue for second day in a row

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:26 GMT

The SOMA Tent, the popular dance music space at the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco, unexpectedly closed down for the second consecutive day on Saturday (Aug. 12).“SOMA Tent is closed until further notice,” organizers posted on the festival’s X (formerly known as Twitter) page. “We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue and will provide updates when available.”No reason was given for closure in the social media post, but it reportedly had something to do with the flooring. “After diligently monitoring the flooring throughout Saturday, we decided to close the SOMA Tent for the remainder of the afternoon out of an abundance of caution,” a festival spokesperson reportedly told the Chronicle in a statement.The Tent was first closed down on Day 1 (Friday, Aug. 11) of the festival and then reopened for a bit on Day 2, before being closed down again.Dance fans were, not surprisingly, upset with the news and vented o...

Gunfire erupts at prominent Shiite shrine in southern Iran, wounding at least 4 people

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:26 GMT

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Gunfire erupted Sunday night at a prominent shrine in southern Iran, wounding at least four people, authorities said.Information on the attack at Shah Cheragh remained unclear immediately after the shooting, with state media and semiofficial news agencies offering differing details. The state-run IRNA news agency said four had been wounded, including two workers at the shrine and two pilgrims. Shah Cheragh is one of Iran’s top five Shiite shrines. It draws pilgrims to Shiraz, which is some 675 kilometers (420 miles) south of Iran’s capital, Tehran. The attack Sunday night comes after an October 2022 attack on the same shrine killed 13 people and wounded dozens of others. The Islamic State group claimed the assault, which Iran said had been carried out by a man from Tajikistan, who later died in a hospital after succumbing to injuries he suffered while being detained by security forces.

Lotte Kopecky made it a trifecta of gold medals at the cycling world championships on Sunday.After winning the points and elimination races during the track portion of the 11-day event, the Belgian standout shook free from a powerhouse breakaway and rode solo to the finish of the women’s road race in Glasgow, Scotland. Kopecky was far enough ahead of Demi Vollering and Cecilie Ludwig that she had time to sit up and celebrate as she crossed the finish line.“I thought after those two on the track, I was like, ‘Yeah, it’s almost impossible to win again on Sunday,’” Kopecky said, fighting back tears. “Becoming a three-time world champ in just seven days — it’s too crazy for words.”Vollering, who was trying to follow in the footsteps of recent Dutch champions Annemiek van Vlueten and Anna van der Breggen, had to settle for the silver medal. Ludwig lost their heads-up sprint and finished with bronze.Kopecky had to be wondering whether she ever would win one of the world’s prem...
