LAS VEGAS (AP) — San Diego State not only remains in the Mountain West, the Aztecs are getting the money that was withheld after they initially informed the conference of their intention to leave.The Mountain West will provide the $6.6 million that was withheld, but San Diego State is responsible for paying the conference's legal fees associated with the matter, first-year commissioner Gloria Nevarez said Wednesday at the conference's football media days.“I think my overarching philosophy to the entire thing is San Diego State is a positive to the Mountain West," Nevarez said. "We are better with San Diego State, and I feel good about where we landed.”Nevarez, however, knows this could be a temporary arrangement and acknowledged the Aztecs could still leave at some point should the Pac-12 or Big 12 come calling.

CBD In Disney? — Is CBD Allowed In Major American Theme Parks?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:37:37 GMT

A few years ago, Disney landed in the US hemp industry’s “hot seat.” When the 69-year-old Hester Burkhalter visited Disney’s Magic Kingdom in 2019, security guards discovered CBD oil in her purse. Although Burkhalter explained she had a doctor’s recommendation for this supplement, authorities arrested Burkhalter and put her in a prison cell for 12 hours.This eye-catching story signaled there are still places in the US where CBD isn’t tolerated. Just because the 2018 US Farm Bill passed doesn’t mean CBD customers should assume hemp products will be “OK” everywhere they travel.What’s The Legal Status Of CBD In Theme Parks?To understand how Disney could arrest a Burkhalter for having doctor-approved CBD, you must recognize that theme parks are private businesses. The 2018 US Farm Bill is a suggestion for private companies like Disney. While some theme parks allow people to bring in hemp-derived CBD products, most still ban cannabis-related item...

A Life Less Ordinary: Tegan and Sara are all about the music

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:37:37 GMT

A Life Less Ordinary: Canadian indie-pop duo Tegan and Sara are proudly, unashamedly un-tabloid. They refer to themselves as “average,” in non-self-effacing terms, due to their proclivity to avoid the celebrity lifestyle (we know what they mean. but there’s nothing average about these amazing women).When we think of Tegan and Sara, we think of their music. Who the twins are dating, hanging out with, wearing – nobody gives a shit and that’s to their immense credit.“It’s hugely flattering,” says Sara Keirsten Quin. “It would be difficult to maintain a tabloid-esque career when you’re not. Some people are so naturally good at being a headline, and I don’t think Tegan and I have that.”“It’s also choices,” adds Tegan Rain Quin. “I lived in L.A. for 12 years. Sara lived in New York for a handful of years and then L.A. for a handful of years. We said no to everything ‘red carpet.’ We were not that band. We’ve been lucky enough to make lifelong friends in this industry – musicians and actor...

They reached their verdict after deliberating less than two hours Wednesday.“I’m actually just happy that they listened to Olivia’s voice and the jury was able to decide a fair judgment,” the girl’s mother, Philana Holmes, told reporters outside the courtroom Wednesday. “I’m happy with that. I honestly had no expectations, so this is more than fair for me.”Lawyers for the family had argued that $15 million is the least the corporation and its franchise operator, Upchurch Foods, can do to cover Olivia Caraballo’s pas...
