MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prince's representatives arranged for the musician to meet a California doctor to help him kick an addiction to painkillers shortly before his death, according to a newspaper report published Wednesday.
Prince's representatives called Dr. Howard Kornfeld on April 20, the day before the musician died, to seek emergency help, attorney William Mauzy told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's administration is revising a federal rule that allows wind-energy companies to operate high-speed turbines for up to 30 years, even if means killing or injuring thousands of federally protected bald and golden eagles.
Under the plan being announced Wednesday, the companies could kill or injure up to 4,200 bald eagles a year without penalty, which is nearly four times the current limit. Golden eagles could only be killed if companies take steps to minimize the losses — for instance, by retrofitting power poles to reduce the risk of electrocution.
