Twenty years ago, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission gave Ellsworth Air Force Base a 12% chance of survival.

When I began my teaching career in 2015, social media was still finding its footing. I believed I was helping my high school students build the skills needed to be “21st century learners” by allowing them limited cellphone use in my classroom. They learned self control as I helped them navigate when it was appropriate […]

Gov. Mike Braun appears to have had a quiet legislative session — his second since taking office — but his cabinet leaders were working behind the scenes on several key bills. He certainly wasn’t as active in public as some former governors. For instance, Govs. Mitch Daniels and Mike Pence laid out ambitious, specific agenda […]

Sign up for Chalkbeat Tennessee’s free newsletter to keep up with statewide education policy and Memphis-Shelby County Schools. Memphis voters will choose from a pool of 17 candidates to serve on the local school board next year, starting with the first ever partisan primary on May 5. Two races, for Districts 1 and 9, will be decided with the primary since all registered candidates are Democrats. Districts 6 and 8 will vote in a general election on Aug. 6 between the Democratic primary winner and an independent candidate. No Republicans qualified to run. To find out which school board candidates will be on your ballot this year, plug your home address into our interactive map below. While the MSCS board votes on decisions as a group, each elected member represents one of nine specific regions in the district. And some are more likely to face changes in the coming years, including 10 more potential school closures. Memphis residents vote on the school board seat that corresponds with their home address, which could be different from the district where your school is zoned. You can use the map to see which board member is responsible for your school by searching its name. Here’s a full list of candidates who will appear on the ballot: District 1 Incumbent Michelle McKissack (Democrat) Dolores Williams Rivers (Democrat) Hailey Thomas (Democrat) District 6 Juliette Eskridge (Democrat) Terrance Harris (Democrat) Marinda A-Williams (Democrat) Contessa Glorianna Humphrey (Democrat) Stacey Kelly (Democrat) Frederick Dewayne Tappan (independent) District 8 Ayleem Connolly (Democrat) Tanya Frey (Democrat) Leigh Ann Scarbrough (independent) District 9 Incumbent Joyce Dorse Coleman (Democrat) Jonathan Carroll (Democrat) Damon Curry Morris (Democrat) Louis Morganfield (Democrat) Tamara Debrand Jordan (Democrat) The 2026 election has gone through a series of lawsuits and redesigns since the summer. County commissioners originally pushed through a mega-election that would have put all nine seats on the ballot in May. But a Shelby County judge ruled that move unlawful on Feb. 9, stopping five district races that would have cut short current board members’ terms. MSCS board members still face an uncertain future as Republican lawmakers advance a bill to establish a state-appointed board of managers that would take over the district. That board could take over key responsibilities from the local board, including setting the budget and hiring superintendents. Bri Hatch covers Memphis-Shelby County Schools for Chalkbeat Tennessee.

Maybe it was the request that Costco not use Styrofoam cups at its proposed store that blew it all up. Or the ask that the warehouse retailer employ “second-chance” workers, which can include felons. Or possibly the city’s requirement that Costco make an 8-foot-wide sidewalk 10-feet wide instead. And let’s not forget over a half-million […] The post Opinion: What blew up the Costco deal?

La auditoría en Brasil centrada en los productos animales reveló que algunos envíos de carne de ganado tratado con estradiol, una hormona esteroidea que se usa para incrementar el crecimiento de los animales, estaban “incorrectamente certificados para su exportación” a la UE, según afirmó un portavoz de la Comisión a Maldita.es. Esto, según el informe de la auditoría, ocurrió al incluir en los envíos a la UE animales tratados con estradiol, tras errores administrativos de una de las granjas que las entidades certificadoras no detectaron, al no verificar los registros de tratamiento originales. Además, se detectó que los procedimientos de certificación no tenían mecanismos para identificar y separar la carne que ya estaba guardada en bodegas y que no tenía ninguna garantía de que no fuera de animales tratados con estradiol. Por otra parte, Brasil tampoco informó a la Unión Europea sobre los cargamentos no aptos exportados.  Tras esta auditoría, la Comisión informó a las autoridades de los Estados miembros para garantizar que la carne congelada importada de Brasil se retirase del mercado de la UE, según afirmó un portavoz de la CE a Maldita.es.  📲 ¡Pincha aquí y sigue el canal de WhatsApp de Maldita.es para que no te la cuelen! "> 📲 ¡Pincha aquí y sigue el canal de WhatsApp de Maldita.es para que no te la cuelen! En España, la Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición (AESAN) notificó a RASFF, en noviembre de 2025, que la empresa española que compró la carne procedió a retirar el producto de sus almacenes y se puso en contacto con sus clientes para que lo devolviesen. Además, AESAN señaló que los productos recuperados serían destruidos por una empresa de gestión de residuos. La AESAN no registró en su web una alerta sanitaria por estos productos, hemos preguntado por ello a la agencia, pero en el momento de publicación de este artículo, no hemos obtenido respuesta. Suecia también notificó en el mes de noviembre que la empresa que había comprado la carne de Brasil había parado de vender la que estaba afectada.  La Autoridad de Seguridad de Productos de Consumo y Alimentos de los Países Bajos (NVWA) detectó que seis de los 15 envíos entraron a la UE a través de su país, según explicó la secretaria de estado de Salud, Bienestar y Deportes neerlandesa, Judith Tielen. Unos 5.000 kg de carne congelada que se habrían distribuido en Países Bajos y sobre los que se consideraba “probable” que se hubieran consumido “en gran medida”, visto que la fecha de caducidad del lote era para octubre de 2025 y la alerta de RASFF se notificó el mes de noviembre.  La partida de carne brasileña tratada con estradiol también se habría distribuido en Austria, Bélgica, Chipre, República Checa, Alemania, Grecia, Eslovaquia, Reino Unido y Croacia; estos países habrían abierto investigaciones y tomado medidas para retirar la carne afectada del mercado, según las notificaciones en RASFF.  En cualquier caso, en términos de seguridad alimentaria, según la secretaria neerlandesa, el consumo único de carne tratada con estradiol “no representa un riesgo para la salud de los consumidores”.“Las cantidades que podrían quedar en el músculo del animal son ínfimas”, coincide Gemma del Caño, especialista en calidad de la industria alimentaria.  Del Caño aclara que los humanos producen de manera natural esta hormona : “Un niño pequeño produce de forma natural en su propio cuerpo unas 40.000 veces más estradiol cada día de lo que se encontraría en un filete de una vaca tratada con hormonas”. “Al ser una cantidad tan pequeña, nuestro metabolismo la procesa sin que llegue a alterar nuestro equilibrio hormonal”, añade la experta. Por otra parte, las importaciones de carne desde Brasil no se realizaron en el marco del acuerdo de Mercosur, que se firmó el 17 de enero de 2026 y el 27 de febrero la presidenta de la CE, Ursula Von der Leyen, anunció su “aplicación provisional”. Pero el tratado no se aplicará definitivamente hasta la validación de Brasil y Paraguay y la aprobación del Parlamento Europeo, que remitió el texto al Tribunal de Justicia de la UE para que revisara si el acuerdo es compatible con los tratados europeos.
