House reverses course on tobacco litigation funding

They may not admit residents who cannot exit the building, are incontinent, require more than one worker to move, require restraints or exhibit unmanageable behaviors. Critics warn facilities may become de facto nursing homes, risking inadequate care for residents.

Statewide winter wheat harvest sits at 40 percent complete as heavy rains keep fields too muddy to enter. USDA data show delays despite drying crops and hopes for 10 dry days to finish harvest. The wet spell limits yields, while hay supplies shrink for cattlemen until June showers boost grass growth. Forecasters expect a cold front to move out, leaving mostly sunny warm weather.
