Arizona jumps to No. 2 behind Purdue in AP Top 25, Alabama into top 10; Kansas falls out of rankings
13+ hour, 10+ min ago (222+ words) The Boilermakers (6-0) earned 46 of 61 first-place votes in Monday's poll to remain at the top after beating then-No. 15 Texas Tech by 30 to win the Baha Mar Championship in the Bahamas. The Wildcats (5-0) earned 11 first-place votes to jump two spots. That came after last week's win at then-No. 3 UConn, part of run that began with a victory over reigning NCAA champion Florida in Las Vegas and a win against a ranked UCLA team in Los Angeles. Arizona was ranked No. 13 in the preseason AP Top 25, but jumped to No. 5 after the Florida win before inching up to No. 4 last week. Houston, which spent a week at No. 1 earlier this month, slid a spot to No. 3 to make room for the Wildcats, while Duke and UConn rounded out the top five. Louisville, Michigan, Alabama, BYU and Florida rounded out the top 10, with the…...
AP, Trump administration argue access case before federal appeals court
16+ hour, 39+ min ago (319+ words) The case has wound its way through federal district court and, more recently, federal appellate court throughout the year. Julie Pace, AP's executive editor, wrote in an op-ed piece Monday morning that the question of access is not just about AP; it's about people's access to the government that works for them. "Letting the government control which journalists can cover the highest office in the land and setting rules about what those journalists can say or write is a direct attempt to undercut the First Amendment," Pace wrote. "It should worry all of us." The Trump administration says it is up to the White House, not the press, to decide access to areas where space is limited. The White House Correspondents' Association had been deciding who is in the press pools since the Eisenhower administration. The White House reset that…...

Maine center guiding local opioid settlement spending says data will be public early next year
13+ hour, 48+ min ago (1404+ words) Local governments across Maine have received just over $22 million in opioid settlement funds from pharmaceutical companies accused of fueling the overdose epidemic, with nearly $54 million more expected over the next decade and a half. The money is meant to go to prevention and harm reduction efforts, as well as treatment and recovery programs. But oversight is limited, and until recently there were no reporting requirements, meaning it was up to local officials how much they wanted to disclose about their plans. Many municipalities and counties have struggled to determine how those choices should be made, getting caught up in the logistics of how to disburse the funds fairly, ultimately delaying much-needed help for vulnerable communities. That's where a $2.5 million resource center comes in: one designed to help the local governments start spending the money appropriately and maintain data on where…...
