Worsening opioid crisis overshadowed in presidential race
Read full article: Worsening opioid crisis overshadowed in presidential raceThat has overshadowed debate over how to handle the nation's drug overdose crisis, which has contributed to the deaths of more than 470,000 Americans over the last two decades. The exchange over Hunter Biden's struggle with addiction was brief, and neither candidate was asked a follow-up question about their plan to tackle the nation's drug addiction and overdose crisis. Yet drug addiction continues its grim march across the U.S., having contributed to the deaths of more than 470,000 Americans over the past two decades. Ohio, a battleground state in the presidential contest, is on track to have one of its deadliest years of opioid drug overdoses. For example, his policies eased access to drugs that are meant to control opioid addiction, especially for people receiving health coverage through Medicaid.

Read full article: Stewart and Storm could be poised to win more WNBA titlesBreanna Stewart and the Seattle Storm never really got a chance to defend their 2018 championship because of key injuries. “I don’t know if any of us are thinking that way,” Stewart said after the Storm completed a three-game sweep of the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday night by setting a WNBA Finals record with a 33-point win.

Bird, who turns 40 next week, has been a part of all four of the Storm championships during three decades. I just kind of start working out and see how I feel,” said Bird, who averaged 11 assists in the WNBA Finals.

Florida could require prescription for certain sunscreens
Read full article: Florida could require prescription for certain sunscreensNow, a Florida state senator wants to ban some sunscreens entirely for the potential harm they cause marine life. Sen. Linda Stewart's proposed bill would require a prescription to use sunscreens with oxybenzone and octinoxate, two chemicals found in most sunscreens that effectively protect against UV radiation but, researchers suggest, can also cause coral bleaching and eventually kill reefs. "Reef-safe" sunscreens that leave out those ingredients in lieu of others, like FDA-approved zinc oxide, would take their place on store shelves. Those banned the sale of all sunscreens with the two chemicals to protect nearby reefs, essential to the islands' tourism economy and marine biodiversity. Only two sunscreen ingredients are "generally recognized as safe and effective" for people by the FDA: Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
