19-year-old man arrested in Fabens shooting that killed teen

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A 19-year-old man was arrested and charged with murder after a fatal shooting in Fabens, according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
On Thursday, Jan. 29, deputies were dispatched to Fabens in response to a welfare check, after receiving reports of a person seeking help while covered in “blood and possibly armed with a handgun,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Once deputies arrived at the scene, they learned that a gunshot victim had been transported to Del Sol Medical Center and was later ******

You know the type — the guy who finally hits retirement age, but just can't sit around the house doing nothing. He goes out, desperate to feel needed again, and finds a new place to work that appreciate his skills. He has a top speed of Mach 2.5, a max takeoff weight of 68,000 pounds, and a bunch of tall tales from his youth that are probably mostly fiction. Yes, your friend is a Boeing F-15C/D Eagle, and he's not going to take his forced exit from the Oregon Air National Guard lying down. Instead, he's going to help NASA bring supersonic civilian flight to the masses. And he's bringing a frie

Bitcoin’s network hashrate fell to its lowest level in seven months over the weekend as a powerful winter storm swept across the United States, forcing miners to scale back operations amid surging energy demand and widespread power disruptions.
Key Takeaways:

‘Happy to Help, Sir’: Jake Tapper Brings Receipts After Greg Bovino Dares Him to Call Out His Deposition Lies

AP
CNN’s Jake Tapper came with receipts when Border Patrol Commander-at-large Gregory Bovino challenged him on social media for insinuating he was a liar.
Tapper’s post about Bovino came in the wake of the Border Patrol shooting death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, when Bovino outraged critics with his version of the events leading up to the shooting. Bovino claimed on CNN Sunday, “The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I’m not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put

A box full of viruses and bacteria has completed its return trip to the International **** e Station, and the changes these 'bugs' experienced in their travels could help us Earthlings tackle drug-resistant infections.
A team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and US biotech company Rhodium Scientific Inc. pitted Escherichia coli bacteria against its viral arch-nemesis, the T7 bacteriophage. This pair has been locked in an evolutionary 'arms race' for as long as we've been looking, but never in microgravity – until they were sent to the ISS in 2020.

A Hidden Warning Sign Discovered in The Gut May Increase Cancer Risk

As we get older, chemical marks on our DNA slowly shift. Now, a study reveals this 'drift' in gut stem cells is fueled by inflammation and disrupted cell signaling, and it may help explain why our risk of colorectal cancer rises with age.
The international team of researchers has called this process Aging and Colon Cancer-Associated (ACCA) drift, and it involves shifts in DNA methylation that can 'switch' genes on or off without altering the DNA – called epigenetic changes.
In this case, the drift leads to the gradual si

In preparation for winter, the common shrew (Sorex araneus) shrinks its brain by 30 percent to conserve precious energy. Then, come spring, the shrew miraculously 'regrows' its shrivelled brain, neurons fully intact.
Scientists have now traced the evolutionary origins of this rare adaptation and the genes that likely enable it. While fascinating in its own right, this information may also spark new approaches to understanding and treating human brain degeneration.

Bitcoin's 2026 outlook has become a battleground. Spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) approvals and the post-halving rally were supposed to clarify the narrative, but instead, they amplified the divide.
Forecasts for next year range anywhere from $250,000 to $10,000. That gap reveals more than disagreement over numbers — it exposes a fundamental split over whether Bitcoin (BTC) has entered a new structural phase or remains trapped in the same cyclical patterns that defined the last decade.

Citizens of the Central African Republic (CAR) will vote on Sunday in highly controversial presidential and legislative elections expected to extend President Faustin-Archange Touadera’s tenure beyond two terms for the first time in the country’s history.
Touadera, who helped put his country on the map when he adopted Bitcoin as one of its legal tenders in 2022, had earlier pushed through a referendum abolishing presidential term limits. That, as well as significant delays that almost upturned the confirmation of two major challengers, has led some opposition groups to boycott

As interest in Bitcoin continues to rise and fall with the markets, a new study from SmartAsset offers one of the clearest snapshots yet of where Americans are actually participating in crypto.

Air pollution isn't just bad for human health; it also poses an existential threat to certain fly species.
New research from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology found that elevated ozone levels inhibit mating among flies.
Ozone in the stratosphere helps protect the Earth from dangerous UV radiation. But down here, the gas is a threat to our health, food supply, and biodiversity. The latter is apparent in this recent study, which found that ozone exposure significantly degrades fly pheromones.
