| In some midterm races, addiction is a crisis that transcends party politics Posted: 02 Jul 2018 03:00 AM PDT  Democrats and Republicans may have different proposals to confront the opioid epidemic, but this doesn't appear to have created a national trend toward either party. Instead, in the midterms, the opioid issue is more likely to play out locally — candidate by candidate — as people look for solutions rather than politics. Yahoo News turned to a competitive race in New Hampshire to see this up close.

| Justin Trudeau denies groping reporter at 2000 music festival Posted: 02 Jul 2018 01:38 PM PDT  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has responded for the first time to an allegation of sexual misconduct dating back almost two decades, saying he does not recall any "negative interactions" on the day in question. The avowed feminist was asked on Sunday to comment on allegations that he had groped a journalist during a music festival in the western city of Creston, British Columbia in 2000. He was speaking to reporters in the central city of Regina on Canada's national day. "I remember that day in Creston well, it was an Avalanche Foundation event to support avalanche safety," he said. "I had a good day that day," he added. "I don't remember any negative interactions that day at all." Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau greet Donald Trump, at the G7 summit, June 8 Credit: Evan Vucci/AP Trudeau became involved with the charity after his younger brother Michel died during an avalanche in 1998. A few days after the festival, an unsigned editorial appeared in the Creston Valley Advance which alleged Trudeau, who was 28-years-old at the time and not involved in politics, had apologised to the reporter in question. It also quoted him as saying "I would not have been so forward" had he known she was a reporter. The article did not name the journalist and did not provide further details about the alleged incident. Profile | Justin Trudeau Broadcaster CBC on Monday said it had contacted the journalist, but she did not wish to be named and did not want to be associated with coverage of the story. The allegation has resurfaced in recent times, but this is the first time the prime minister has commented on it publicly. Trudeau frequently describes himself as a feminist. When he came to power he formed a cabinet with an equal gender divide and has adopted a zero tolerance policy towards sexual misconduct in his Liberal party.

| 'Dead' woman wakes up in a morgue. Why does this keep happening? Posted: 02 Jul 2018 09:04 PM PDT  A woman was taken to the morgue and pronounced dead after a car crash near Johannesburg in South Africa. The only problem? She wasn't dead. SEE ALSO: Shane, somehow, is reportedly coming back to 'The Walking Dead' According to the BBC, the unnamed woman woke up in a mortuary fridge after a car pile-up on June 24 which reportedly left two others dead. The woman was discovered by a morgue worker, according to the news service, and she is now recovering in a hospital east of Johannesburg. The woman's family declined to comment on the incident to the BBC, but said, "We need answers." So, how did this happen? An investigation is reportedly underway. Ambulance company Distress Alert, who mispronounced the woman dead, told news publisher Times Live, "Equipment used to determine life showed no form of life on the woman." "This did not happen because our paramedics are not properly trained," the company's statement added. "There is no proof of any negligence by our crew." How does this keep happening? It's not the first time this has happened. In fact, it's not as uncommon as you'd think. In Poland, a 91-year-old woman woke up in a morgue fridge after having been declared legally dead. A similar thing also happened to a 24-year-old Kenyan man, a 61-year-old woman in Delaware, and a 30-year-old man in Australia. A 78-year-old man in Mississippi made it all the way to a funeral home in a body bag before workers discovered he was alive. One of the most horrifying cases involved a prison inmate in Spain's Asturias region, certified dead by no less than three doctors, who just happened to regain consciousness just before he was about to undergo an autopsy. There are a few theories on why this happens, and it's always dependent on the "dead" person's situation — how they supposedly "died" — and the country where they're legally declared dead. The Guardian points out one of the most common theories. Some people experience a condition called catalepsy, an immobilising nervous disorder that replicates rigor mortis (the stiffening of muscles after death), decreases the body's response to stimuli, and slows breathing. You can see how they'd look pretty dead to a first responder. The inmate in Spain was thought to have suffered from catalepsy. Whether the woman in South Africa suffers from this condition remains to be seen, but the first responders did say their equipment "showed no form of life on the woman." We're not sure which equipment they used yet. There's also what's called the Lazarus phenomenon, described as delayed return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) — basically, when a person who's suffered a cardiac arrest "comes back to life" after you've stopped performing CPR. It's coined from the Bible story of Lazarus, who was said to have been resurrected by Jesus days after his death, and is apparently very rarely reported. Or it could be biofeedback. That's when an individual learns to directly control activation of localised regions within the brain — meaning you can supposedly learn to lower your heart rate to make it look like you're dead. Why you would want to do this? James Bond does something like it in Die Another Day, so spying, I guess? So, how does a person make it all the way into the morgue fridge and survive in there? According to The Conversation, in very cold circumstances (let's say, an avalanche, or a mortuary fridge), a body's cells need less oxygen in the lower temperature, so they lapse into a state of hibernation. Until they're revived, the body will remain in a preserved state of unconsciousness — until it's really, really not. Another thought? Medical professionals could have just made a bad call. In the Australian case, an investigation found that after just 12 minutes examining car crash "victim" Daniel Huf, paramedics declared him dead after noting he was taking only four breaths a minute. Yup, still breathing. But declared dead by first responders. Figure that one out. How can you legally determine death? Legally confirming death used to be straightforward, back in the old days before technology made things more complex. Now, it's possible to keep the heart beating after the brain stem has stopped functioning, but that's another kettle of fish. In the U.S., each state has laws for determining death, whether as cardiopulmonary death (heartbeat and breathing has stopped) or brain death (brain functions have stopped). These two categories have been identified by the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA), approved by both the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Bar Association (ABA), which stipulates that either type of death must be "irreversible" to declare someone dead. And while another conversation for another time, there are legal and ethical considerations to make if a person suffers from brain damage, not necessarily death, but their heart is still beating. Who gets to legally declare it? "There is variation between the states and even with counties as to who is permitted to pronounce an individual dead," writes forensic experts Jason Payne-James and Roger Byard in the Encyclopedia of Forensic and Legal Medicine. "In some locations, civilians are allowed by law to pronounce an individual dead. In many locations emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and even first-responders are permitted to declare death." "Most law enforcement officers and firefighters can make a pronouncement, however; they typically contact the medical examiner or coroner's office to certify the death." In the case of the not-so-dead woman in South Africa, it appears the first-responders working for Distress Alert were the ones doing the legal pronouncing, and as detailed above, they're blaming their equipment. So, I'm going to have a cup of tea now and never go outside again. WATCH: This 'smart' prosthetic ankle makes it easier to use stairs

The fast-moving fire that started over the weekend northwest of Sacramento grew dramatically to about 94 square miles (243 square kilometers) by Monday night, largely burning out of control in rugged terrain with a few cattle and horse ranches and sending smoke and ash as far south as San Francisco. State fire officials said 700 homes and other buildings were threatened but none had burned.

The comments, published on Iran's presidential website on Tuesday and partially repeated at a later news conference in Switzerland, could be open to interpretation. Iranian officials in the past have threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil shipping route, in retaliation for any hostile U.S. action against Iran.

| Church puts their nativity scene in a cage to protest Trump's immigration policies Posted: 03 Jul 2018 08:59 AM PDT  Traditionally, the nativity scene is pastoral — meant to inspire feelings of joy, not gut-wrenching horror. No wonder, then, that the nativity scene recently posted outside of Christ Church Cathedral in Indianapolis has inspired such a reaction. The Reverend Canon Lee Curtis had the statues of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph placed in a cage and displayed on the church's front lawn to symbolize the families currently detained indefinitely at the border. SEE ALSO: Colbert destroys Jeff Sessions for using the Bible to justify ripping families apart "The stark reality is many families have experienced or are experiencing this," Curtis told Mashable. The Reverend wants to communicate a clear message to those who witness the scene: "The holy family is every family. Every family is holy. We should aspire for families to be kept together ... [but] what's happening right now is indefinite detention." The nativity scene is on display in downtown Indianapolis.Image: Christ church indianapolisReligious leaders have condemned the administration for separating migrant parents from their children at the border and otherwise insisting on "zero tolerance."

The scene at night.Image: christ church indianapolisCurtis hopes that people seriously process the icon, and that the image (and people's attention to the story) stays with them, even after the social media fury dies down.

Despite a looming court deadline, they are struggling to reunite those separated. WATCH: This 'smart' prosthetic ankle makes it easier to use stairs

| Crews scramble to protect homes from fierce California wildfire Posted: 02 Jul 2018 03:53 PM PDT  More than 1,200 firefighters aided by water-dropping helicopters battled a wind-driven wildfire raging out of control in Northern California on Monday, threatening homes and other structures as thick black smoke drifted across the San Francisco Bay Area. The so-called County Fire, which broke out on Saturday afternoon in rural Yolo County, west of Sacramento, has already blackened more than 50 square miles of grass, brush and dense scrub oak and was only 3 percent contained as of Monday afternoon. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire protection said the job of hand crews and bulldozer operators trying to cut containment lines was made more difficult by high winds, which were blowing embers and starting new spot fires.

| Justice Clarence Thomas leading the US supreme court?

Already, this most recent court term has been a debacle for the liberal justices who, according to Adam Liptak of the New York Times, largely failed to peel off Kennedy to form a majority in the major cases. Already there is much speculation that Donald Trump's nominee to replace Kennedy will be, if confirmed, the decisive vote to overturn Roe v Wade, the decision legalizing a woman's right to have an abortion.
