"One by one, doctors who handle high-risk pregnancies are disappearing from Idaho — part of a wave of obstetricians fleeing restrictive abortion laws and a hostile state legislature...
All told, more than a dozen labor and delivery doctors — including five of Idaho’s nine longtime maternal-fetal experts — will have either left or retired by the end of this year."

Small scoop here: In November 2022, the password manager service LastPass disclosed a breach in which hackers stole password vaults containing both encrypted and plaintext data for more than 25 million users. Since then, a steady trickle of six-figure cryptocurrency heists targeting security-conscious people throughout the tech industry has led some security experts to conclude that crooks likely have succeeded at cracking open some of the stolen LastPass vaults.

From the story:
"...the researchers learned the attackers frequently grouped together victims by sending their cryptocurrencies to the same destination crypto wallet.
By identifying points of overlap in these destination addresses, the researchers were then able to track down and interview new victims. For example, the researchers said their methodology identified a recent multi-million dollar crypto heist victim as an employee at Chainalysis, a blockchain analysis firm that works closely with law enforcement agencies to help track down cybercriminals and money launderers.
Chainalysis confirmed that the employee had suffered a high-dollar cryptocurrency heist late last month, but otherwise declined to comment for this story."

DEVELOPING STORY...
I've been very happy with the Jinhao fountain pens I have in my pen collection. Working on them and with them I've collected some information that's useful to me and put it in a blog post.
I have several friends with Keurig coffee makers and we have one at the restaurant. The coffee is always weak and tasteless compared to drip brewed (Bunn). Even the "espresso" cartridges are equally weak -- weaker than ordinary coffee and nothing like the espresso I make at home. Is this just how it is or is there some trick to it? And why does everybody have one if it works so poorly? I'm puzzled.
PUTIN'S ACE IN HIS HOLE!
Putin's last gasp at stealing Ukraine is Donald J. Trump
The reason Putin still fights is his hope that Trump will be placed back in the White House
To make this happen, Putin and his entire clandestine technology group will be laser focused on spreading dissent and misinformation in America
Follow this closely Dear Reader - WE must call this out and stop it when it happens
From Russian Republicans to Trump himself!
