However, the number that do that is small in comparison to all drivers on the road who self-report drinking and driving. Only 1 in 10 adult drivers surveyed by IIHS admit to using alcohol and marijuana simultaneously over the last year. Seven in 10 fess up to drinking. Men are more likely than women to exhibit risky behavior as defined by the survey results. About 25 percent of men reported drinking and driving, compared to 15 percent of women....

NEWSWEEK: The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan while you were prime minister of Pakistan. Why did you support the Taliban? Benazir Bhutto: The Taliban were actually students in university who decided to go back to Afghanistan after the Russians left. My reports were that the Taliban were being welcomed by the people and that they were building peace. Initially we thought the Taliban was a stabilizing force. My government was keen to establish ties with Central Asia, so we were quite pleased and we encouraged them initially…....

Barrett formally became a member of the Court on October 27, 2020 following a highly controversial nomination process that saw her confirmed by the Senate just eight days before the presidential election. The 49-year-old has cemented the power of the Court’s conservative wing and helped to create a 6-3 conservative majority that has seen Chief Justice John Roberts increasingly sidelined in divided decisions. The 6-3 Court Barrett’s appointment has had a major impact on the composition of the Court....

The majority of Russian troops are refusing to take part in direct combat with Ukrainian soldiers, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has alleged. “Russian invaders are so afraid of the [Ukraine] armed forces that only 1 in 10 is ready for a direct confrontation with Ukrainian soldiers,” the SBU wrote on its Telegram channel. “This is evidenced by a new telephone conversation between the occupiers, which was intercepted by the SBU....

A new poll from Politico and Harvard found that only 11 percent of parents said that mask requirements helped schooling experiences, while just over 40 percent said mandates hurt their overall experience. Nearly half of parents said it made no difference. Parents found masks to be particularly harmful to their children’s social learning, with more than 45 percent saying those interactions were hurt by mandates. Thirty-nine percent also said masks negatively impacted the mental and emotional health of their kids....

The historic speed at which COVID-19 vaccines were developed was met with a slow global vaccination effort, partially fueled by vaccine inequity. The World Health Organization has long stressed the need for a global approach to vaccinations, warning that significant portions of unvaccinated people in low and middle-income countries will perpetuate the pandemic, but vaccine hesitancy has left even high-income countries struggling to inoculate large swaths of their populations....

As the expanded format of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) opted Wednesday to cut current baseline production by about 2 million barrels per day (BPD), an effective drop of around 1 million BPD, the limits of the Biden administration’s pressure tactics were on full display. Reacting to the news, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday, “It’s clear that OPEC+ is aligning with Russia with today’s announcement....

Gone are Tiger Woods (2000, 2005, 2006), Padraig Harrington (2007, 2008), Stewart Cink (2009), Louis Oosthuizen (2010), Darren Clarke (2011), Ernie Els (2012), Phil Mickelson (2013), Zach Johnson (2015), Henrik Stenson (2016) and Collin Morikawa (2021).

The remaining golfers, led by Cameron Smith, Cameron Young and McIlroy, will be paired in twosomes for the third round....

“We denounce MoMA’s connections to mass incarceration, global dispossession and climate catastrophe, and demand that MoMA’s Board member Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, divest from prison companies, the war machine and the destruction of the global environment,” the letter begins. “Stopping the global cycles of dispossession, displacement and detention, and reinvesting in the basic necessities of food, shelter, health and freedom are the best ways to ensure that communities worldwide thrive....

The total loss inflicted by a disease is made up of the costs of preventing it, as well as the health losses inflicted by patients diagnosed with it. Typically, the larger the health harm caused by a disease, the larger the costs undertaken to prevent it. For example, the cost imposed by polio is largely through the cost of vaccinations, not the disease itself. Likewise, for COVID-19, the largest share of the overall cost has been prevention, in terms of foregone economic activity through mitigation, rather than losses in lives if measured by standard government metrics valuing health in dollars....

It was but a few sports seasons and athlete attacks ago that a staff member of the Association of Tennis Professionals jokingly gave himself a “Double 0” number. He was negotiating with an international security agency to see what steps should be taken to beef up protection on the tour. “It seemed almost funny back then,” he said. Now in a span of less than nine months: Monica Seles knifed in the back on a tennis court in Hamburg…Nancy Kerrigan assaulted at an ice rink in Detroit....

The incident was captured by crew members aboard a whale watching tour in the Salish Sea—on the Juan de Fuca Strait near the U.S./Canada border.

According to the Associated Press (AP), The Oregon Office of Emergency Management reported that over “10 percent of the state’s 4.2 million population” had been forced to leave their homes. Governor Kate. Brown has also confirmed that fatalities have been reported though numbers have not been reported—AP reports that at least three have died in Oregon. Speaking on her Twitter account, Gov. Brown says: “We have never seen this amount of uncontained fire across our state....

Officials say there are thousands of industrial-scale illegal pot farms across the state. The industry generates billions of dollars and is often run by drug cartels and foreign criminal gangs, law enforcement said. The cartels “have a business model: Put up more cannabis illegal grows than law enforcement can ever get. They know we’re going to get some, but they know we can’t get it all,” Nathan sickler, the Sheriff for Jackson County told lawmakers....

During Pac-12 media days, Sarkisian threw some anonymous shade at Oregon’s flashy uniforms (and multiple uniform changes). MORE: SN’s Preseason Top 25 | 2015 Bowl Predictions | Top 15 programs since 2000 The Oregon Duck mascot had a quackin’ response for the Trojans coach. And it even came quicker than Meek Mill’s comeback track. In six attempts, Sarkisian has yet to defeat Oregon as a head coach. USC is expected to be one of the best teams in the country this year, but the Trojans better have their big boy pants on when they travel to Autzen Stadium on Nov....

At Packers training camp, third-round linebacker Oren Burks is one of those rookies trying to earn a shot, and he’s in prime position to do so. In the 2018 NFL Draft, Green Bay made a decision to fill holes on a defense that has needed help for some time. The Packers selected three defenders (Jaire Alexander, Josh Jackson and Burks) with their first three picks in hopes to shore up a unit that ranked 22nd, gave up up 348....

Last year’s protests targeted the restrictive House bill authored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin that would have made illegal immigrants felons and mandated 700 miles of border fence. (The House later passed the bill, H.R. 4437, but it died in the Senate, which supported a more liberal measure.) This year’s agenda is broader and more diffuse. Organizers are pushing for an end to the recent spate of raids on businesses that hire large numbers of illegals....

Hundreds of people have attempted to conquer the four stages of Mt. Midoriyama, participating in local qualifiers before moving on Las Vegas for show taping. MORE: Worst MLB teams of the last 30 years Before Monday night, no one had been able to get passed Stage 3 and stare down the final leg of Mt. Midoriyama. But that all changed when not one but two competitors, including Orioles’ cameraman Geoff Britten, completed the freakishly complex and physically draining stage....

Red Bulls hitting their stride So no, there was no walking into the wrong locker room, or staring nostalgically at the famous stadium as he recalled memories fond and not so fond. In fact, it actually seemed to surprise him just how little attachment he felt when he walked around Sunday for the first time as the visiting coach. “I have to tell you, that the year I was here was such a whirlwind,” Kreis told Goal....
