The final battle to uphold a 1977 California law that entitled artists to royalties on the resale of their work appears to have been lost.

PHOENIX (AP) — A team of researchers is trying to better understand what happens to migrants who die crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, including many whose bodies are never recovered. The team is monitoring dead pigs in the Arizona desert, studying things like their rate of decomposition and exposure to the elements, along with scavenging by animals. University of Michigan associate professor Jason De Leon said the study proves migrants who perish in the desert have been vastly undercounted. "If you can imagine that this happens to people...

THETFORD, Vt. (AP) — A small Vermont town is working to protect one of its most prized community symbols, a 19th century covered bridge, an engineering relic that is a key part of the local road network that wasn't designed for heavy, modern vehicles and inattentive drivers.

Ever since, vehicles have... Читать дальше...
