They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

More than 1.5 million workers, or roughly 28% of North Carolina's workforce, earn less than $17 per hour, according to new data from Oxfam. Why it matters: This figure is notably higher than the national average of 23.2%, with Oxfam suggesting that North Carolina’s decision not to raise its minimum wage has contributed to the disparity.

BROTHER MARTIN'S SENIORS TOOK TIME FOR A PICTURE BEFORE SATURDAY'S BAYOU BOOGIE. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
