WASHINGTON (AP) — Most of America “springs forward” Sunday for daylight saving time. Losing that hour of sleep can do more than leave you tired and cranky the next day; it also could harm your health.
AP
This is the weekend when clocks move ahead, causing angst, lost sleep and health issues for many. Over the last decade, at least 19 states have passed laws to let them stay in daylight saving time if the federal government allows it. And some are giving serious consideration to staying in standard time — if their neighbors are willing to make the same move. There's not a clear consensus on what to do when every solution will still leave millions of Americans in the dark later in the morning or earlier in the evening than they would like for a chunk of the year.

On March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, ruled 7-2 that Scott, an enslaved person, was not a U.S. citizen and therefore could not sue for his freedom in federal court; it also ruled that slavery could not be banned from any federal territory. The decision deepened the national divide over slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War.

California street doctors warn that new federal Medi-Cal rules put many unhoused people at risk of losing health coverage. The law starts in 2027 and adds an 80-hour monthly work rule for many adults. It also forces eligibility checks every six months. Meeting those requirements will be particularly challenging for the state's roughly 180,000 homeless people. They often have no phones or internet to complete a job application. State officials estimate up to 2 million people will lose coverage. Exemptions exist for disability, mental illness, and addiction. But patients need doctors to certify them. Many cannot. California plans automated checks, but gaps remain.

Denmark is debating whether top-level cooking counts as art, and the country’s most theatrical restaurants sit at the center of it. The culture ministry is exploring formal recognition for gastronomy. Some chefs say food can carry ideas, emotion, and social messages, like modern performance art. They also say art status could unlock public funding and private grants. But others say food has a different purpose which must be consumed. Art voices say chefs could start competing for the same cultural money.

A new traveling exhibit tells the story of Japanese American soldiers who fought for the U.S. in World War II, even as their families were incarcerated as enemies of the state. “I am an American” is a 1,500 square-foot exhibit with photos and personal items. The soldiers' relatives shared the personal items to ensure that stories of past bravery endure. The exhibit is timely as questions of nationality still persist. Sgt. Robert Kuroda died in France in 1944 attacking Nazi forces. In 2021, a metal detector hobbyist found Kuroda's class ring near Bruyères in France and returned it to his family in Hawaii.

While the three-martini lunch seems improbable today, workplaces still can be boozy places. After-work happy hours, corporate parties and client meetings at fancy bars are still expected in many areas of American corporate culture. Talking about sobriety with managers and colleagues therefore can be daunting for people in recovery from alcohol addiction. Professionals in some industries fear being judged for needing help or missing out on career advancement opportunities if social drinking is encouraged as part of a job. Treatment professionals and individuals who have navigated careers while abstaining from alcohol say such anxieties are natural but must not get in the way of uncomfortable conversations or other actions that encourage a successful recovery.

On March 4, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated for a second term. With the end of the Civil War in sight, and just six weeks before his assassination, Lincoln declared:
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the fight as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has threatened to take mental health funding from counties he says are falling short on CARE Court. On Monday, Newsom named 10 counties he called underperformers, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Orange. He says he can shift money to counties he believes use the program better. CARE Court started in 2023 and uses judges to push people with severe mental illness into treatment. CalMatters reports the program serves far fewer people than expected. The state has received 3,817 petitions and judges have approved 893 agreements. Some counties dispute Newsom's claims and have asked for clearer measures.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Social media is filled with influencers rating electrolyte supplements or even telling followers how to make their own. But experts say many of the claims about the health benefits of these drinks need to be taken with a grain of salt.

On March 3, 1991, motorist Rodney King was severely beaten by Los Angeles police officers after a high-speed chase in a scene captured on amateur video that sparked public outrage. (The subsequent acquittal of four officers of felony assault and other charges in April 1992 triggered days of rioting and dozens of deaths in Los Angeles.)
California health departments are fighting to contain measles outbreaks as cases rise and resources shrink. Investigating communicable diseases is time-intensive and expensive. Officials say teams have about 72 hours after a positive case to find exposed people and stop spread. Nurses trace contacts, order quarantine, or give post-exposure medicine. They then monitor people for 21 days. Experts say measles spreads fast and hangs in the air for hours. California has high vaccination rates overall, but unvaccinated pockets drive outbreaks. The outbreaks are occurring as local health departments also face major funding cuts and staffing losses.
Tech companies are pushing new health chatbots, but experts say you still need to talk to your doctor. OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Health, and Anthropic has added similar health features for some Claude users. The companies say the bots can review health records and app data to explain medical results and trends. Doctors say they can beat a basic Google search — if users provide more context. But experts warn you should skip AI for emergency symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or severe headaches. Experts also warn about privacy. Anything shared with an AI company isn't protected by the privacy laws that normally governs sensitive medical information.

Major historical documents start journey across US as part of nation's 250th anniversary celebration
Some of the United States’ most important historical documents are beginning a first-of-its kind journey as part of the country’s 250th anniversary commemoration. The documents include the 1783 Treaty of Paris that formally ended the Revolutionary War and the 1774 Articles of Association that urged colonists to boycott British goods. They are rarely moved from their home at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., but will begin an eight-city tour on Monday. The first stop will be at the National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. Jim Byron, senior adviser to the acting archivist of the United States, says the documents are typically kept in vaults and have never before traveled together.

It might still be winter in Minnesota, but spring is in the air for people lined up at the Dairy Queen in Moorhead, Minnesota, for its annual opening. The event is a community tradition, no matter what the weather. The Dairy Queen “heritage store” has operated for 77 years and offers treats found almost nowhere else. People bundled up in coats, hats and gloves in freezing cold to line up Sunday for ice cream treats. March is very much a winter month in the upper Midwest, and the first day of the month can often bring subzero cold or heavy snow. But at the Moorhead Dairy Queen, it seemed like a bit of a summer day — almost.

(On April 19 of that year, FBI agents stormed the compound with tear gas and armored vehicles, with dozens dead before the standoff was over).
