  It was the one-week anniversary of Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping, and I couldn’t stop thinking about what was in her heart.
  Not the cardiac pacemaker that regulated her physical heart, but the heart of feelings.
  “Mommy, you are a strong woman,” said her daughter, “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, in a video post. “We love you and will not rest until you are found.”
  The love, the angst and the devotion in her voice portrayed what was in her heart.

  California’s $5.6 billion cardroom industry may be holding a losing hand.
  A few days before Christmas, California Attorney General Rob Bonta proposed new rules that would drastically alter how casinos run blackjack, baccarat, pai gow and other card games.
  The changes are so disruptive that the cardroom industry says it will be forced to close down all blackjack-style games in California, pull back on card game tables generally, and target layoffs of nearly 13,000 to its statewide work

  NEW YORK (AP) — Daniel Moore was about 30 the first time it happened. At the end of a long, hot, stressful day, he chugged an ice-cold glass of milk.

  By Kevin Hardy, Stateline.org
  As Americans grow increasingly frustrated over their electricity bills, states are trying to keep the nation’s growing number of data centers from causing higher energy costs for consumers.
  For years, many states competed aggressively to land data centers, sprawling campuses full of the computer servers that store and transmit the data behind apps and websites. But many officials are now scrutinizing how those power-hungry projects might affect the electric bi

• Suing the federal government is ridiculously hard. It shouldn’t be that way.

  Looking at the history of the U.S. founding and how this country originated by defying overbearing authority, one would think that suing the government for rights violations would be rather straightforward. It is not. Instead, it’s a Kafkaesque nightmare that often leaves Americans unprotected and with untold damage left unrepaired in the face of government force.
  As the Trump administration continues with its mass deportations (a program that has swept up U.S. citizens as well), Americans

  Recent walkouts at school campuses by students protesting the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement efforts probably haven’t hurt California public school budgets.

  California has led the nation on clean air and environmental standards, and that leadership has delivered real results. There was a time when smog routinely blanketed the San Fernando Valley; today, on a sunny day, the air is clear. That progress matters, and it should not be taken for granted.
