The 13 students from Islesboro Central School had initially planned a trip to Greece or South Korea, like senior classes before them.

Some civil liberties experts say the use of such technologies threatens privacy....

The Fox World Series crew of play-by-play man Joe Buck and analysts Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci (and on-field reporters Erin Andrews and Ken Rosenthal) has been the subject of much social media angst.

It didn’t take long for Clinton’s aides to realize she’d scored. They immediately sent out a summary of the pundits’ reactions to her closing remarks, noting that David Gergen called them “the most effective moment she’s had on television, I believe, since the New Hampshire primary” and a blogger’s comment that “Hillary Clinton just hit that closing response out of the park.” Campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe later sent a mass e-mail with a link to a video of the response, calling it a “remarkable moment” and urging recipients to “pass it on....

In the study, posted in November 2020, thousands of water samples from more than 2,000 private drinking water wells in the state between 2013 and 2018 were analyzed. 2,433 samples were studied for arsenic and 2,191 for uranium.
