A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

You probably have a general sense that snacks, like most things in the American diet, have been supersized—but you may not realize by how much. A data analysis of surveys from more than 23,000 Americans who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that they were getting nearly one-quarter of their total daily energy intake—400 to 500 calories—from snacks. The survey asked each participant to make note of what he/she eats over a 24-hour period. Even though this may not necessarily reflect how people eat on a regular basis (it could have been taken on a day when some had wine or birthday cake), it gives researchers a good snapshot of the diets of a large number of people.

Errors in medical test results are common. For example, studies report that up to 12 percent of mammogram results are false positive, meaning they report seeing a lump or mass that is not actually present. Those same studies report that up to 20 percent of all breast cancers are not detected in a routine mammogram, thus labeled false negative.

After the historic losses bond investors suffered the past two years, it’s no wonder they are content to stash more than $6 trillion in money-market funds at brokerage firms. But cash won’t yield an annual return of 5% forever. When the Fed starts cutting short-term interest rates in 2024 or early 2025, those yields on cash will shrink rapidly. Some bonds, though, will shine because bond prices tend to appreciate when interest rates fall. Here’s what to do…

Languages around the world have taboo words (curse or swear words), and the use of them is commonly frowned upon. But that doesn’t stop researchers from wanting to better understand them. Humans are thought to have been using curse words since the emergence of language. There is evidence of cursing in ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions dating back to 1000 BC.

Breakfast is often hailed as the most important meal of the day, providing essential nutrients and energy to kick-start your morning. A well-balanced breakfast typically includes a mix of proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, with common ingredients such as eggs, whole grains, fruits, and yogurt.
