That’s given lawmakers across the U.S. headaches over how to regulate the booming market, and it’s a conflict now taking hold in Texas, where a proposed ban passed by the Legislature poses another major battle for the industry.

1 week ago | latrobebulletinnews.com | Ross Marchand

The Trump administration is laudably committed to rooting out waste across the federal government and axing large and ineffective programs. There are some early encouraging signs that the Food and Drug Administration will reduce spending and needless red tape in line with the administration’s government-wide push. For example, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary has pledged to create an expedited pathway for approving therapies for rare diseases and to use artificial intelligence to expedite approvals.

1 week ago | latrobebulletinnews.com | J. Mark Powell

They envisioned three huge ocean liners that would be larger and far more luxurious than anything the world had ever seen. The trio would make crossing the Atlantic an opulent pleasure for the era’s super-rich. And that would give White Star an advantage that its business rivals, such as the Cunard Line, could never hope to match. kAm%96 7:CDE @7 E96 E9C66[ #|$ ~=J>A:4[ H2D =2F?4965 H:E9 >F49 72?72C6 :?
