Russian satellite breaks up in space

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A defunct Russian satellite has broken up into more than 100 pieces of debris in orbit, forcing astronauts on the International Space Station to take shelter for about an hour and adding to the mass of space junk already in orbit, U.S. space agencies said. There were no immediate details on what caused the break-up of the RESURS-P1 Russian Earth observation satellite, which Russia declared dead in 2022. U.S. Space Command, tracking the debris swarm, said there was no immediate threat to other satellites. The event took place at around 10 a.m. Mountain Time (1600 GMT) on Wednesday, Space Command said. It occurred in an orbit near the space station, prompting U.S. astronauts on board to shelter in their spacecraft for roughly an hour, NASA's Space Station office said. Russian space agency Roscosmos, which operated the satellite, did not respond to a request for comment or publicly acknowledge the event on its social media channels.

Fresno Police Chief Paco Balderrama resigned on Tuesday, following a months-long investigation into an alleged affair he’d been having with the wife of a subordinate officer. The scandal, which broke only after the city issued a news release earlier this month, marred what had been to-that-point a successful tenure for the chief — one that saw reductions in violent crime and an increase in the number of sworn officers serving the city. Balderrama is by no means the first Fresno police chief to become embroiled in controversy. There are stories of scandal within the department all the way back to William T. Shaw in 1906, and at least seven decades worth of documented reports on Fresno police chiefs who were investigated, fired or even jailed for perceived misconduct.

The biggest, though, is exactly why two mummies were glued together inside the same stone coffin.

roles in the fentanyl poisoning death of a 19-year-old single mother, the United States Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas announced Thursday, June 27 in a news release. According to court documents, Kathy Lee Nicole Bradford, 32, coordinated the sale of M-30 pills to a woman in El Paso in April 2022. On Bradford’s behalf, codefendant Patricia Tafoya, 40, delivered 10 counterfeit M-30 pills containing fentanyl to the purchaser, who consumed some of the pills and, as concluded by the El Paso County Medical Examiner’s Office, died of “acute fentanyl toxicity,” according to the news release. Bradford admitted in March to knowing the pills contained fentanyl, pleading guilty to one count of distribution of a controlled substance causing death or serious bodily injury, according to the news release. She was sentenced to 168 months in federal prison.
