A suspected chemical attack killed dozens of people in a rebel-held area of Syria on Tuesday, activists said, describing an incident that would mark one of the worst of its kind in Syria’s six-year civil war.
At least 58 people, including 11 children, died in the incident in northern Idlib province, southwest of Aleppo, said the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The death toll “is expected to rise” because more than 160 people were injured, many experiencing severe symptoms, the group added.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that the chemical attack is “reprehensible and cannot be ignored by the civilized world.”

Curiosity is showing its age. NASA’s car-sized Mars rover has been successfully roaming the surface of the red planet for almost five years now, but a recent check of its six wheels shows that one has breaks in its zigzag treads.
NASA says the damage — which it blames on rough terrain — won’t keep Curiosity from completing its mission. And it could even give the space agency valuable clues about how to hone the design of an upcoming rover.
“The project that is developing NASA’s next Mars rover, for launch in 2020, had made changes to wheel design,” says Curiosity project manager Jim Erickson. “And the new design has demonstrated much longer wheel lifespan in long-distance driving tests.”

The Ohio governor unveiled a plan Thursday that targets the place where experts say many opioid addictions begin — the doctor’s office.
Gov. John Kasich’s order limits the amount of opiates primary care physicians and dentists can prescribe to no more than seven days for adults and five days for minors.
In addition to the pill limits, Kasich said the new rules require doctors to provide a specific diagnosis and procedure code for every painkiller prescription they write.
And Kasich warned that doctors who don’t follow the rules will lose their licenses.
“You’re going to have to abide by these rules,” he said.

A massive fire caused a bridge to collapse Thursday night on Interstate 85 in Atlanta, one of the busiest stretches of roadway in America, backing up rush hour traffic for several miles and creating what the mayor called a long-term “transportation crisis.”
The huge fire was reported at 6:21 p.m. ET underneath the bridge on the northbound side — near where the interstate merges with another major artery, State Highway 400 — forcing authorities to close the interstate and turn drivers around during the evening rush.
Then, at about 7 p.m., the bridge collapsed in a flaming heap that spewed thick, black smoke high into the air, where it was visible for miles around Atlanta.

An overgrown lawn may just be California code enforcer Joe Garcia’s worst enemy.
Garcia’s job consists of driving around Petaluma, California, on the hunt for lawbreakers, specifically those with dilapidated properties. Military veteran Al Pericou, 90, however, is one property owner in particular who has grabbed Garcia’s full attention.
After being the subject of complaints for more than three years, Garcia finally got his hands on the latest cause of concern frustrating the community. However, instead of giving the usual citation, Garcia embraced Pericou with a surprising show of compassion.

All of a sudden, Medicaid is trendy again.
The governor of Kansas vetoed a bill on Thursday that would have expanded Medicaid in his state. But the legislature is reserving the option of trying to override the veto and Virginia and North Carolina are moving toward expansion.
Several other states are considering it.
It’s a fast turnaround made by states that had resolutely resisted taking part on a major plank of the 2010 Affordable Care Act — the expansion of Medicaid to cover more people.
Now that the GOP-sponsored American Health Care Act has failed to win support in Congress, governors and state legislatures are taking a hard look at whether that offer of federally funded Medicaid expansion is worth taking up.

Obama administration officials were so concerned about what would happen to key classified documents related to the Russia probe once President Trump took office that they created a list of document serial numbers to give to senior members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a former Obama official told NBC News.
The official said that after the list of documents related to the probe into Russian interference in the U.S. election was created in early January, he hand-carried it to the committee members. The numbers themselves were not classified, said the official.

We love a restorative shower for its day-starting, head-clearing, muscle-relaxing power. But that long, hot shower that starts your day might not be doing your skin any favors.
Too much hot water can actually be bad for our bodies, according to experts in hair and skin care. We asked several dermatologists to weigh in on the definitive way to take a shower.

A deal that North Carolina lawmakers reached to repeal the state’s controversial and costly “bathroom bill” passed on Thursday after a contentious debate — but the compromise has left LGBTQ advocates exasperated, with some calling it “shameful” and an “outrageous betrayal.”
Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper signed the bill into law just hours after the state’s House passed the bill 70-48 on Thursday afternoon after nearly two hours of heated debate.
The state’s Senate passed the bill by a 32-16 vote earlier in the day, after a deal was struck late Wednesday between the state’s new governor, who campaigned on fully repealing the HB2 bill, and North Carolina’s leading Republican lawmakers, who have supported the measure.

It’s been a little less than two months since Donald Trump took office, and the 45th president has already signed a dozen wide-ranging executive orders, hoping to fulfill a number of his campaign promises.
Surrounded by staff during Oval Office photo opportunities, Trump signed the burst of orders within just his first three weeks to undo many of President Barack Obama’s policies.
