A federal judge halted construction of the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline on Thursday, in a blow to the Trump administration and a win for environmental groups.US District Judge Brian Morris found that the US government's use of a 2014 environmental review to justify issuing a presidential permit for construction of the cross-border pipeline violated the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act and the Administrative Procedure Act, according to the court order issued Thursday."The Court enjoins Federal Defendants and TransCanada from engaging in any activity in furtherance of the construction or operation of Keystone and associated facilities," the court document reads, "until the Department has completed a supplement to the 2014 SEIS (Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement) that complies with the requirements of NEPA and the APA."Environmental groups involved in bringing the 2017 lawsuit celebrated the decision."Keystone XL would be a disaster for the climate and for the people and wildlife of this country," said Jackie Prange, senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the plaintiffs. "As the court has made clear yet again, the Trump administration's flawed and dangerous proposal should be shelved forever."In March 2017, President Donald Trump's administration issued a permit approving construction of the pipeline, reversing the Obama administration's decision to block the controversial project.The White House has not responded to CNN's request for comment on the judge's order.The permit approval followed years of intense debate over the pipeline amid steadfast opposition from environmental groups.They argued that the pipeline would support the extraction of crude oil from oil sands, a process that pumps more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than standard crude oil extraction. They also opposed the pipeline because it would run across one of the world's largest underground deposits of fresh water.Native American groups argued the pipeline would cut across their sovereign lands.The-CNN-Wire 2099

A Delavan, Wisconsin woman thought she was gaining weight, but it turned out to be something much more serious. Tina Ferguson had 30 pounds of tumors in her stomach from a rare type of cancer.“I just thought it was middle age and weight gain," said Ferguson. "You have no idea you have something inside you that is killing you."A trip to the doctor gave her a diagnosis of ovarian cancer that was possibly benign. But when the doctor's opened her up to remove it they found something unexpected."I will never forget them coming in the room and saying, 'This is stage 4. You have appendix cancer,'" Ferguson said.On top that, it had ruptured attaching tumors to other organs and leaving a jelly-like substance called mucin in the lining of her abdomen. There was 30 pounds of it inside of Ferguson pushing on her organs."This is the mucin and tumor that's present inside of the abdomen before Tina had her operation," said Dr. Harvershp Mogal, a cancer surgeon at the Medical College of Wisconsin.It took doctors 12 hours to remove all the tumors and mucin. The rare cancer used to come with a very low survival rate. Ferguson was first told she only had months to live.However, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin used a new kind of chemotherapy called Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to wash the tumors out."I basically give the patient a heated chemotherapy wash for about 90 minutes. The chemotherapy is heated to 108 Fahrenheit and what the chemotherapy does it takes care of any minute cancer cells that we can't see," said Mogal.Mogal said Ferguson is now cancer-free, just six months later."It's changed my entire outlook on life. You know almost dying, you can't take anything for granted. Every day is a gift," said Ferguson. 1798

A group of specialized Winnebago RVs are traveling to the rural areas in Colorado. And while they may look like your standard RV on the outside, on the inside they are a safe haven for those trying to overcome addiction.These mobile addiction units are equipped with people who can help: a nurse, counselor, and peer support. They travel to areas that are experiencing opioid addiction the worst.“We were having trouble getting access to the folks that really needed it in rural communities,” said Dr. Jeremy Dubin, an addiction medicine physician and medical director at Front Range Clinic. “The idea that we can now get to these communities that don't actually have providers there, that can help them with their addictions has been basically a boon to how we’re approaching this and hopefully treating it.”It helps people like Susan, who lives in a rural town that one of the mobile addiction units visits weekly.“I've been homeless since March,” she explained. “I've been prescribed opiates since I was 19, and I’m 33.” She says it’s very helpful that she gets the attention and one-on-one time the unit provides.The Front Range Clinic has four grant-funded mobile units traveling in different rural areas across the state. It's an idea they modeled after a similar program in New York.“When we get to these communities we’re really trying to help them medically, to stabilize things,” Dr. Dubin said.“Addiction is not a death sentence, it’s a brain disease,” Donna Goldstrom, clinical director at Front Range Clinic, said. Goldstrom explained that the state’s office of behavioral health put out a grant over a year ago for six units in six regions of Colorado. Front Range Clinic won four of the units, and they now serve the rural areas outside of Greeley, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Grand Junction. “To bring access to folks who previously did not have access to treatment, and to hopefully help them start a life of recovery and start their recovery process with the help of medications for addiction treatment,” Goldstrom said.So far, their four units have helped 240 patients just like Susan, as well as mother and daughter Rhonda and Dacia.“I was a heroin addict for 13 years,” Rhonda said. “We just made some wrong decisions that ended up costing us a lot of time in our life.”One day, they decided to make a change. “Tired of looking for the pills. The money we spent on pills, so much money. We just decided enough was enough,” the mother-daughter duo described. The two have been visiting the unit since August.“It’s a new life for us, so we need help to guide us through to that,” Rhonda said.That’s exactly what this mobile unit trio does: take in patients and provide them with the support of a nurse, telehealth doctor visits, counseling, and peer support.“We can help with parents--whether it’s alcohol, meth, opioids, whether they are homeless or married with five kids. Whatever their situation, we’re able to help them,” Christi Couron, the nurse on the mobile unit, said.“It’s a one-stop shop,” Tonja Jimenez, the peer support specialist on the mobile unit, said.This year, they encountered a hurdle. COVID-19 has put even more obstacles in the way of those breaking the cycle of addiction.“What all those use disorders are, are symptoms of more anxiety in society, more depression, more despair, and we all know COVID has increased all those amounts,” said Dr. Donald Stader, an emergency physician at Swedish Medical Center. He explained there could be an increase of 10 to 30 percent in drug overdoses this year from last. “We’ve definitely forgotten about the opioid epidemic which has continued to worsen in the shadow of the COVID epidemic,” Dr. Stader said.The workers on the mobile unit do what they can to help, day after day driving this roving clinic to help those in need, especially during an increased time of isolation.“We’re here to do all we can for whoever we can,” Jimenez said. 3933

A California attorney who was rescued after a fall in Joshua Tree National Park says he survived for five days with little water and supplies before being rescued.Paul Hanks of Santee, California drove to the park to hike on his 54th birthday last week. He had intended to spend half a day ‘"bouldering" before returning home.Hanks’ plans took a painful turn when he slipped and fell about 20 feet, injuring his leg.“It happened. I slipped and it was just, having not slipped in 45 years, it was instant and total shock,” Hanks said.Hanks crawled for miles, yelling for help. Eventually, he settled under a Joshua Tree for the night, hoping he could throw some loose dirt on himself for warmth. Hanks quickly ran out of food and supplies.“By the very first night, I was drinking my own urine. I had drank all of the water in my bottle and was refilling my bottle with my own urine.”Hanks said the decision saved his life. He later found rainwater to drink and ate a cactus.“It gave me some physical energy and it gave me some hope and it made me believe this is giving me the 24 hours I'm looking for,” said Hanks.On Hanks’ fifth day in the park, search and rescue teams found him.“These three angels appeared out of nowhere and I was... I was shocked,” Hanks said. “I just couldn't believe it. I didn't want to say I had given up. Multiple times I had written myself off as dead. That I was never going to see another human being again and they showed up.”The rescue team gave Hanks Gatorade and took him to safety. Hanks is being treated at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs. Family members say he’ll have several surgeries for fractures on his leg, heel, forehead and pelvis. Hanks is expected to make a full recovery. 1762
