Expelling Brockman may be slow
Politics professor John Dinan said House members probably will want to ensure that Brockman is given due process because of the seriousness of expelling an elected representative. “Any effort by the House to expel Brockman would need to proceed in a way that gives adequate opportunity for legislators to consider the case before them, and this will take time to work through various issues, especially because expulsion has been used so rarely by the General Assembly,” he said.

Booming sea otters and fading shellfish spark values clash in Alaska
In Alaska, a state brimming with iconic wildlife — from grizzly bears to king salmon, humpback whales to harbor seals — the charismatic, densely coated sea otter stands out as perhaps the state’s most hotly debated, controversial species.

After the Louvre museum heist, a closer look at what’s in it for the thieves
"For well-known pieces of artwork, because their black market value is so low, there's already very little incentive for criminals to go after those pieces," said Frederick Chen, an economics professor at Wake Forest University who has co-authored a paper on the economics of art heists. "And so there's less incentive for museums to invest in security." Chen said museums are even less likely to protect artifacts that don't drive ticket sales. "From the thieves' perspective, you already know the museum isn't going to have security that's going to be as strong as going to, say, a Tiffany's."

Will video introductions replace college essays in the age of AI?
Duke University was an early Glimpse adopter, offering students an opportunity to “share a 60-90 second video, helping us to get to know you better.” Vanderbilt University says the short video “is meant to give a ‘glimpse’ into your life and who you are.” Babson College lets students answer a supplement via a one-minute video instead of an essay. Wake Forest University provides speaking prompts plus practical tips on lighting, wardrobe, and audio. However it’s framed, the goal is the same: see who the applicant is.

Understanding the meaning behind USDA’s organic label
In a recent article, law professor Sarah Morath identifies a growing rift between traditional organic and industrial organic practices. Morath argues that a free-rider problem exists among industrial organic operations that use the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic label without demonstrating the “spirit of the organic movement.”

How moths avoid bats using echo-jamming clicks
In the darkness of night, an evolutionary arms race plays out between predator and prey. Bats, with their sophisticated echolocation abilities, hunt moths with remarkable precision. Yet moths have developed an equally impressive defense mechanism: they generate ultrasonic clicks that effectively jam bat sonar. This fascinating adaptation represents one of nature’s most compelling examples of evolutionary countermeasures.

Now is not the time for new U.S. commitments to the Middle East
"To seal the recent Gaza peace deal, President Donald Trump asked Arab states to, once again, find a compromise with Israel....Despite Trump’s promises to the contrary, they had to accept seriously watered-down language on a future Palestinian state and a partial, rather than full, Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. In general, Trump can get the regional stability and order he wants in the Middle East by doing less, not more. Stepping back, rather than stepping farther into, the Middle East just makes sense," writes politics and international affairs expert Will Walldorf.

Best credit cards for bad credit
"To improve your credit score, you have to undo what caused your credit score to go down. This would include ensuring that you pay your bills on time, or using less of your total available credit, not closing your older credit accounts but keeping them open even if you do not use them, diversifying the mix of credit you have outstanding and not applying for new credit," said business professor Ajay Patel.

Triad not targeted in latest redistricting move
As the legislature works to again redraw the maps for a Republican advantage, it’s status quo in the Triad. Politics professor John Dinan said one reason changes won’t be made to local district lines is because the maps already favor the GOP. "There's nothing to be gained by altering Triad-area districts on the part of Republican legislative leaders because those are all Republican held, and look to be rather solidly Republican held at this point."
