The growing phenomenon of mothers eating their own placentas seems to have caused a baby to be infected with group B streptococcus, according to a new report detailing the case that was published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

The list of GOP senators unhappy with the initial draft of the Republican health care bill continues to grow. Before Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) decided to postpone the vote, six GOP senators announced they would vote against it. Since then, that number has doubled.

As influential celebrities like Kim Kardashian and January Jones have done it just like other mammal species, it has become popular for new mothers to eat their placentas after giving birth. Businesses have even capitalized on the trend by offering freeze-dried placenta pills to the market.

Dean Heller is Stephanie Diaz-Gonzalez’s problem now. She’s never met Nevada’s Republican senator and hadn’t had much time to familiarize herself. How could she? The 25-year-old is holding down a full-time job and raising a 7-year-old son, who keeps her busy with soccer games, math homework and those too-often terrifying moments when he can’t breathe.

One hundred fifty years ago, an event occurred that became a part of American history still studied by academics today: Countless Chinese railroad workers for the Central Pacific Railroad stopped going to work. “It’s significant because this was the first major strike that any Chinese group ever did. There were earlier strikes, but this was a major one, which involved 2,000 Chinese who struck for one week,” said Chinese-American historian SueFawn Chung, who is professor emerita of the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

They say change is inevitable. But over at UNLV, some fans are saying, 'bring back the past.' From a prominent chin and bushy mustache to a toned down silhouette, the new logo for UNLV is stirring immediate reaction.

The Right is grumbling, says conservative talker Kevin Wall. “Those that tried to forgive and forget when Dean Heller said I'm a never Trumper – all those scabs have been opened up,” he told me, referring to Heller’s distaste of Trump during the 2016 election.

UNLV received some unwanted attention Wednesday when it unveiled a new logo that most fans aren’t happy about. No one can seem to figure it out. Everyone from the football team’s quarterback and other athletes, loyalists and even supporters of opposing schools have questioned the logo. You hate to give San Diego State’s “The Show” student section fodder to ridicule you or a belief from anyone who supports that team up North to think they are doing something better than us.

UNLV’s athletic department has agreed to a 10-year, $57 million deal with Learfield Communications, a multimedia giant with a national footprint. The new deal is worth $25 million more than UNLV’s previous deal with IMG College. The university signed a 10-year contract in 2007 with International Sports Properties, and IMG bought that company three years later.
