CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia volleyball head coach Shannon Wells announced the signing of middle blocker Veresia Yon (Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln HS) on Saturday (April 16).

Al Lupiano is among the 94 former staff and students from Colonia High School in the Woodbridge Township School District who have been stricken by the devastating diagnoses in recent years. “I will not rest until I have answers,” Lupiano, 50, declared in an interview with NJ.com and the Star-Ledger on Thursday. “I will uncover the truth.” Among the others diagnosed with brain cancer was Lupiano’s younger sister, who passed away from the disease in February at the age of 44.

I spent a good chunk of my childhood shuffling in and out of my local White Hen Pantry convenience store, picking out treats after swim lessons or cavity-free dentist appointments. The choice was always obvious: AriZona Iced Tea. It was larger than anything else in the beverage case—23 whopping ounces!—emblazoned with Trapper Keeper-esque colors and shapes, and my mom drank it, so it seemed instantly more healthy (it wasn’t) and sophisticated (it was) than the puny soft drinks that stood beside it. Most importantly, though, it cost 99 cents a can, leaving enough change in my two-dollar allotment to tack on a bag of Swedish Fish. Now, 30 years later, when so much has changed, those cans still cost 99 cents. In the midst of historic inflation, how is this consistency even possible?A recent Los Angeles Times article dives deep on the economics of AriZona Iced Tea, which has held fast to the promise on its Big AZ Can for decades. Don Vultaggio, founder of the still independent beverage company he runs with his two sons,  » Read More

Facebook is a thriving marketplace for illegal wildlife trade, allowing “frightening” volumes of trafficking of endangered species, an investigation has found.The platform’s algorithms are actively boosting the spread of content by illegal poachers, so that they are seen by more people, researchers say.Posts of animals for sale included pygmy marmosets, the world’s smallest monkey, as well as tigers, leopards, pangolins and African grey parrots.The social campaign organisation Avaaz, which carried out the investigation, said the trade was having a devastating effect on biodiversity.It accused Facebook of systematically failing to enforce its own policies by both allowing the posts and also actively recommending similar content to that which researchers had already viewed.Facebook’s guidelines ban content seeking to buy, sell or donate endangered species or their parts.The investigators said they found 129 posts containing potentially harmful wildlife trafficking content in a matter of clicks just from Facebook’s search bar. They said it showed how “frightening volumes” of online harmful wildlife trafficking content goes unchecked.  » Read More
