...earlier survey. The next sunniest states were Kansas and Nebraska, which tied at 7.5%. Almost everywhere, though, the trend lines were down. Overall, 44 states plus the District of Columbia scored worse on the second survey than on the first; one remained unchanged; and only five (Colorado, Minnesota, North Dakota, Texas and Iowa) improved. Even then, the downtick in FMD was less than 1%. And while it's true that even in a state like Kentucky, a 14.4% score means 85.6% did not suffer from FMD, plenty of people may still be experiencing mental distress regularly, just not as frequently...

Lugo has since pushed for essential measures like land reform. What Paraguay is getting instead, at least for the moment, is "a telenovela," says respected investigative journalist Mabel Rehnfeldt of the newspaper...
...parched American Southwest, so it takes more than a little dry spell to affect it. In fact, it requires a once-in-a-century event like the extended drought of the 1950s, which scientists now believe led to widespread tree mortality in the Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona...
