Thousands await rescue after Sierra snowstorm near Lake Tahoe
The winter storm stranded 3,000 residents south of Lake Tahoe in subzero cold as crews battled 10 feet of snow. Five deaths were reported, power outages affected thousands, and a huge rescue effort with rotary blowers struggled to reach the isolated communities near Meyers Fallen Leaf and Christmas Valley. Authorities warned of further danger from avalanches and additional storms while efforts continued to restore electricity and dig out roads.

He argues current limits push unsafe abortions, cause suffering, and push funds through covert channels, noting 40 to 60 million abortions yearly, mainly in poor countries.

Chinese calf milk replacer study eyes China soybean sales
The American Soybean Association aided Chinese farmers in feeding male calves a soybean based milk replacer to salvage beef, hoping to boost future U.S. soybean exports. Experiments showed weight gains with the replacer and a potential Chinese need for soybeans for milk and animal feed. An ASA office in Peking may open later, positioning U S farmers to keep a foothold in the Chinese market.
