15+ min ago (268+ words) Oregon's governor declared a state of emergency Monday to ensure that enough fuel arrives to the state while the Olympic Pipeline, which supplies more than 90% of the state's fuel, remains shut down due to a leak ahead of Thanksgiving travel. Gov. Tina Kotek's declaration is intended to keep enough fuel arriving to the state by ships and trucks partly by waiving certain regulations on how long commercial drivers hauling fuel can operate, according to the governor's order. The BP petrochemical pipeline runs from Washington into Oregon and has been shut down for a week following the first report of a leak and intermittent shutoffs earlier this month. BP crews have excavated 200 feet (60 meters) of the 400-mile-long (644-kilometer-long) pipeline, working around the clock to discover the source of the leak that was reported outside Everett, Washington, the company said in a…...

47+ min ago (690+ words) The AP first reported that Patel gifted plastic 3D-printed replica revolvers as part of display stands given to New Zealand's police and spy chiefs, along with two cabinet ministers in July. Police documents released this week identified the model as the Maverick PG22, a working revolver modeled on the brightly colored toy gun of the same name. Pistols are tightly restricted under New Zealand law, requiring a permit beyond a standard gun license. Law enforcement agencies didn't say whether the officials who met with Patel held such permits, but without them they couldn't have legally kept the gifts. After the officials surrendered the revolvers, emails between police leaders and firearms specialists confirmed the gifts met the legal definition of firearms under New Zealand's strict laws. 3D-printed weapons are treated the same as other guns in New Zealand. Patel, the highest-ranking Trump…...

1+ hour, 14+ min ago (423+ words) Gramma was born in her native habitat and estimated to be about 141 years old, zoo officials said. She died Nov. 20. It's not clear exactly when the tortoise arrived at the San Diego Zoo, but zoo officials said she came from the Bronx Zoo in either 1928 or 1931 as part of their first group of Gal'pagos tortoises.

But Lee says she now feels a sense of crisis about her work as big government-funded broadcasters in the United States and South Korea have fallen silent this year because of major funding cuts and policy changes. "Our frustrations with the U.S. and South Korean governments are growing over their suspensions of radio broadcasts," said Lee, a defector who heads the small, nongovernmental FNK radio station. "We're afraid that they've abandoned North Korean residents." In North Korea, all radio and TV sets are fixed to state-run channels. But defectors have testified that they modified their radios or used smuggled ones to covertly tune in to foreign broadcasts at night for news their government didn't want them to hear. That includes…...
