There's good reason why the American Film Institute calls Indiana Jones the second greatest movie hero of all time, just behind Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch in 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' After all, the globe-trotting, whip-wielding and fedora-wearing archeologist has been capturing viewers' imagination since he began looking for the Ark of the Covenant (in 1981's 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'), the Sankara Stones (in 1984's 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'), the Holy Grail (in 1989's 'The Last Crusade') and the telepathic crystal skull (in 2008's 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull').

Madison, WI *** Thank you, Senator Baldwin. Tammy's been an incredible champion in our fight against cancer. She and Joe are calling for more funding for the CDC's breast and cervical cancer early detection program, so more women can catch cancer early.

A new study published today in The Lancet Planetary Health highlights the beneficial role of greenness and access to green or blue spaces in reducing socioeconomic-related inequalities in mental health. The researchers found that every additional 360m to the nearest green (e.g. park, field or wooded area) or blue (e.g. lake, marina, or the sea) space was associated with higher odds of anxiety and depression. The study, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, presents the largest, most comprehensive evaluation of the effect of differences in exposure to green and blue spaces on mental health over a 10-year period.

By Jack Queen ATLANTA (Reuters) -One of Donald Trump's co-defendants in a wide-ranging election-fraud case in Georgia remained behind bars on Friday, after he told a judge that he could not afford a private attorney to represent him and was denied bond. Harrison Floyd said at his first court appearance that he could not afford a private lawyer and had been denied representation by a public defender because he did not qualify. Floyd, who appeared virtually, said that it typically cost between $40,000 to $100,000 just to retain a private lawyer to fly to Georgia.

Mid-life structural changes to the jawbone may signal subsequent height loss in women, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Open. Dentists, who are likely to spot these on mouth x-rays during routine check-ups, should collaborate with patients' doctors as this may open up opportunities for prevention, suggest the researchers. Height loss in women tends to speed up over the age of 75 and is associated with increased risks of ill health and death, say the researchers. Various explanations have been mooted for this loss, including progressive skeletal deformation, fallen arches in the feet and altered posture, and/or degenerative processes including osteoporosis, compressed or lost discs in the spine, and vertebral fractures.
