Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY
STORY 1: Body of Man Who Jumped Off Jet Ski Recovered in Lake Lanier
A tragic incident occurred at Lake Lanier when Walter Guardado, who went missing on Saturday after jumping off a jet ski, was found dead. Guardado was at East Bank Park with his girlfriend when he jumped off his jet ski and attempted to swim back to shore. His girlfriend couldn't locate him, leading to a search by Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services and the Hall County Fire Department over the weekend. On Monday, divers from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources located Guardado approximately 20 feet underwater, confirming his drowning.
STORY 2: Vehicle emissions inspector from Gwinnett County pleads guilty to falsifying thousands of test results
Mehboobhusain Malik, a vehicle emissions inspector from Gwinnett County, Georgia, has pleaded guilty to a Clean Air Act violation for conducting thousands of fraudulent emissions tests. Malik used a simulator to manipulate the results of emissions tests for vehicles that couldn't pass legitimately. He carried out these fraudulent tests at multiple locations across the metro Atlanta area. The case underscores the collaboration between local, state, and federal agencies in upholding and enforcing laws aimed at safeguarding human health and air quality. Malik is set to be sentenced in January and faces legal consequences for his actions. The investigation involved the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Criminal Investigation Division.
STORY 3: Daily cup of tea or coffee can keep you stronger in old age: study
Drinking coffee and tea in midday may reduce the likelihood of physical frailty in later life, according to a study by the National University of Singapore. The research, involving 12,000 participants aged 45 to 74, found that caffeine was key to these benefits. Those who consumed four or more cups of coffee daily had the best results. However, drinking black and green tea also showed benefits. Coffee and tea accounted for the majority of caffeine intake in the group. The study concluded that higher caffeine intake was associated with lower odds of physical frailty, regardless of the source of caffeine. It suggested that further research is needed to identify the exact ingredients and mechanisms behind this association.

STORY 4: Study says new dads should be screened for depression
A study from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) suggests that new fathers should be screened for postpartum depression. The research discovered that 30% of American dads screened had postpartum depression, and experts emphasize the link between mothers' and fathers' mental health. Fathers were screened using the same mental health tool as mothers, and the UIC study showed higher rates of depression than previous studies, possibly due to the participants facing structural racism and prejudice. Lead author Dr. Sam Wainwright highlights the importance of fathers taking care of their mental health for the sake of their partners, babies, and themselves.
STORY 5: Many women can’t access miscarriage drug because it’s also used for abortions
Many women experiencing pregnancy loss, including miscarriages, are unable to access mifepristone, a drug that could ease the process. In the United States, mifepristone is primarily associated with abortion and heavily regulated. Misoprostol, a less effective drug, is often the alternative. The two-drug protocol combining mifepristone and misoprostol is recommended for miscarriage management, but just 1% of patients receive it. Multiple factors, including regulatory, cultural, and political influences, limit access to mifepristone, depriving many patients of better care for miscarriages and potentially complicating their situations. Efforts to make mifepristone more available for miscarriage patients face opposition from anti-abortion groups. Advocates are calling for an official indication for mifepristone in miscarriage management to improve access and legitimization.
