Most people still picture the front lines when they think about healthcare careers. A nurse on a busy floor. A doctor sees patients back-to-back. A therapist helping someone recover after surgery. That part is real, but it is only one slice of the field. Healthcare also depends on people handling operations, coding, policy, data, education, and administration — the kind of work patients may never see, but definitely feel.That is why healthcare can fit such different kinds of people. Some want the direct, day-to-day human side of it. Others are more interested in the structure underneath it all — the…

The fleeting hopes by Northern California horsemen that as long as Golden Gate Fields was still standing, racing, even if only as a simulcast or gaming facility, could one day return to Northern California, were dashed on Monday when The Stronach Group (TSG) entered into a deal to sell the 141-acre facility to a nonprofit, which plans to transfer the land to the state to make a park.The $175 million deal, first reported by the San Jose Mercury News, is scheduled to close early next year.

Under Noem, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement bought up mega warehouses around the country that could house up to 8,000 immigrants per facility. But local leaders and members of Congress in some of the districts where the detention centers were planned pushed back. Maryland sued successfully to stop ICE from developing a warehouse near Hagerstown. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., criticized the DHS’s plan to turn a warehouse in Byhalia, Miss. into an ICE Detention Center.“I’m all for immigration enforcement, but this site was meant for economic development and job creation. We cannot suddenly flood Byhalia with an influx of up…

Donald Trump has been an enemy of wind power for a long time — and he’s not going to let a little energy crisis get in the way of his vendetta. It seems to have started in 2006, when Trump purchased a seaside estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with plans to build a golf course, and railed against an incoming offshore wind project in the area. He lost that battle, but he’s been fighting wind energy ever since. The latest turn came last week, when the president’s administration announced it would be paying a French energy company called TotalEnergies nearly $1…

Missile defense has long been presented as a technological solution to one of the oldest problems in warfare: vulnerability to attack. From early Cold War concepts to modern layered systems, the promise has been consistent: intercept incoming missiles to attain a measure of strategic invulnerability. Yet that promise has always contained a contradiction. Missile defense is inherently probabilistic, while the threat it is meant to address, especially in the nuclear context, tolerates no failure. In conventional warfare, partial success may be sufficient. In nuclear war, it is not. A single warhead that penetrates a defensive system is not a marginal…

The federal Endangered Species Committee moved Tuesday to exempt all oil and gas activities in the Gulf of America from the Endangered Species Act requirements, citing national security concerns. The committee, known as the “God Squad” or the “Extinction Committee” because of its power to override rules protecting species from extinction, unanimously voted for the exemption Tuesday as the Iran war upends the global energy supply. “Bottom line, to be as secure as a nation, we need a steady, affordable supply of our own energy,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during the meeting. “This is not just about gas prices.…
