Beavers are well-known residents of rivers, lakes and streams across North America.  New research finds they are also far more common in estuaries and tidal wetlands than was previously understood. The study suggests the rodents are critical ecosystem engineers in a habitat where twice-daily tides raise and lower water levels, bringing saltwater inland from the […]

(The Center Square) — New York was ranked dead last in legal protections of religious liberty in a new report that criticized the state's support for abortion and a lack of safeguards for religious groups. The index, produced annually by the Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy at First Liberty Institute, ranks each state based on 20 broad legal safeguards encompassing 50 specific statutory protections. The report's authors evaluated each state's laws to determine if they protect the "free exercise of religion" in areas such as education, employment, health care, parental rights, licensing, and conscience protections. New York was ranked 50th in the center's 2026 Religious Liberty in the States report, dropping from 45th place just one year ago. Among the issues that contributed to the state's low grading was the lack of a contraception refusal law, or protections shielding healthcare workers who object to abortion on religious groups from legal action if they choose not to participate in the procedure. Other factors that restrict religious liberty in New York are a lack of religious accommodations for students and teachers, protections for faith-based adoption and foster care agencies and religious liberty protections for licensed professionals, according to the report's authors. The Empire State also got low marks for not approving the state-level Religious Freedom Restoration Act, commonly known as a RFRA. In 1993, Congress enacted the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in City of Boerne v. Flores five years later ruled that the federal law could not be applied to state and local governments. States have been encouraged to adopt their own versions to restore those protections under state law, and at least 30 have enacted their own religious freedom statutes, according to the group. New York is not among them. In this year's report, Arkansas claimed the No. 1 ranking this year with an overall score of 89%, becoming the highest-ranked state in the fifth edition of the report. In the Northeast region, Vemont placed 49th, while New Hampshire was ranked 30th among states. Maine was ranked 43rd. Only two states — Arkansas and Tennessee — were ranked “excellent” by the group, which cited state level approval of more than 80% of the legal protections included in the federal law.

(The Center Square) – An Ohio State University business professor was not surprised when the state was reently named as the top place in the nation to do business. A new study by Consumer News and the network CNBC, cited infrastructure, cost of doing business, quality of life and other factors in naming Ohio No. 1 in its annual Americas Top States for Business ranking. It cited low housing costs as well, making the state one of the most affordable in the U.S. North Carolina was ranked second. This is the first time Ohio has achieved the top spot in state business rankings. “For a long time, Ohio has really punched above its weight” in business, Terry Esper, professor of Logistics at Ohio State University told The Center Square. “It’s not the largest state in the country and because it’s in the Midwest, sometimes it’s considered not as appealing as the Californias, the Floridas and the North Carolinas.” But the reality is that Ohio has built a signficant business infrastructure system, particularly in the Columbus area, the professor said. “Ohio is known throughout the world as a place where a lot of major corporations do distribution activities and this is where a lot of orders are fulfilled for customers of major corporations,” said Esper. “I think that’s a big part of why Ohio is so strong relative to business. It’s not so much about the strategic side of business. It’s more about execution and operations. That’s where Ohio is a very big player. This is where the rubber meets the road.” Ohio was one of the first states to embrace supply chain education – the study of the management of the flow of goods and services, Esper said. “Now, of course, every business school is teaching supply chain,” he said. “We’re been doing this for decades. We have a legacy of realizing that supply chain is important for business. There is a critical mass of people in Ohio that know the value of supply chain operations.” It wasn’t luck that landed Ohio the top ranking, Ohio Gov. Mike Dewine said in a social media post. “It happened by design,” the governor said. “Ohioans have worked together for years to make Ohio the most business-friendly state in the nation." The ranking can help as states compete to convince new businesses to locate in Ohio, Esper said. “I think there is a lot of opportunity when you start to get these rankings to showcase that there are some hidden opportunities, maybe to consider Ohio,” the professor said.
