Florida's 'Dr. Deep' resurfaces after a record 100 days living underwater

A Florida professor known as “Dr. Deep” has resurfaced after spending a record 100 days living underwater KEY LARGO, Fla. -- A university professor who spent 100 days living underwater at a Florida Keys lodge for scuba divers resurfaced Friday and raised his face to the sun for the first time since March 1. Dr. Joseph Dituri set a new record for the longest time living underwater without depressurization during his stay at Jules' Undersea Lodge, submerged beneath 30 feet (9.14 meters) of water in a Key Largo lagoon. The diving explorer and medical researcher shattered the previous mark of 73 days, two hours and 34 minutes set by two Tennessee professors at the same lodge in 2014. “It was never about the record,” Dituri said. “It was about extending human tolerance for the underwater world and for an isolated, confined, extreme environment.” Dituri, who also goes by the moniker “ Dr. Deep Sea,” is a University of South Florida educator who holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering...

The S&P 500 is in a bull market. Here's what that means and how long the bull might run

The S&P 500 is now in what Wall Street refers to as a bull market, meaning the index has risen 20% or more from its most recent low The S &P 500 is now in what Wall Street refers to as a bull market, meaning the index has risen 20% or more from its most recent low. Here are some answers to questions about bull and bear markets: WHY IT IS CALLED A BULL MARKET? Wall Street’s nickname for a surging stock market is a bull market because bulls charge, said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA. In contrast, bears hibernate, so bears represent a market that’s retreating. WHEN DID THE NEW BULL MARKET BEGIN? This latest bull market is considered to have begun on Oct. 13, 2022, a day after the S &P 500 closed at its most recent low of 3,577.03. WHY HAS THE MARKET RALLIED? Largely because the economy has defied predictions by not falling into a recession, at least not yet. Markets tumbled last year on fears about how the worst inflation in decades would ravage the economy....

Ukraine rushes drinking water to flooded areas as environmental damage mounts from dam break

Ukrainian authorities are rushing supplies of drinking water to areas affected by flooding from a collapsed dam in southern Ukraine KHERSON, Ukraine -- Authorities rushed to rescue hundreds of people stranded on rooftops and supply drinking water to areas flooded by a collapsed dam in southern Ukraine on Wednesday, in a growing humanitarian and ecological disaster along a river that forms part of the front line in the 15-month war.

Some residents of Russia-occupied areas hit by high water complained that help was s...
