Tokyo Olympic athletes beware — particularly larger ones.The bed frames in the Athletes Village at this year’s Olympics will be made of cardboard. Sturdy cardboard.“Those beds can stand up to 200 kilograms,” explained Takashi Kitajima, the general manager of the Athletes Village, speaking through an interpreter. That’s about 440 pounds, and surely no Olympic athlete weighs that much.“They are stronger than wooden beds,” Kitajima added.He also took into account the possibility of a wild room celebration after, say, a gold-medal victory.“Of course, wood and cardboard would each break if you jumped on them,” he said.The single bed frames will be recycled into paper products after the games. The mattress components — the mattresses are not made of cardboard — will be recycled into plastic products.The mattress is broken up into three distinct sections, and the firmness of each can be adjusted.The idea was to use materials that could be remade after the Olympics and Paralympics. But the cardboard frames and supports should give the rooms a spartan look. Organizers showed off the beds and a few other furnishings on Thursday at their headquarters. The entire Athletes Village complex will be completed in June. The Olympics open on July 24 followed by the Paralympics on Aug. 25.“The organizing committee was thinking about recyclable items, and the bed was one of the ideas,” Kitajima explained, crediting local Olympic sponsor Airweave Inc. for the execution.Organizers say this is the first time that the beds and bedding in the Athletes Village have been made of renewable materials.The Athletes Village being built alongside Tokyo Bay will comprise 18,000 beds for the Olympics and be composed to 21 apartment towers. Even more building construction is being planned in the next several years.Real estate ads say the units will be sold off afterward, or rented, with sale prices starting from about 54 million yen — or about 0,000 — and soaring to three or four times that much. Some fear the apartments will flood the market, possibly impacting property values.The units will be sold off by various real estate companies. Ads suggest many of the units will be slightly larger than a typical apartment in Tokyo, which is about 60-70 square meters — or 650-750 square feet.___More AP sports: 2322

TOWSON, Md. — Loud sex at a Towson Days Inn led to a police altercation and gunshots on Monday, charging documents say.According to police, a security guard called police about a potential fight at the hotel after front desk clerks overheard loud noises while on a call with a room.When officers arrived, they spoke with two women who were supposedly in the room when the commotion was heard. Both women told police they weren't fighting but were having sex.At the request of the security officer, police ordered the women to pack up and leave the hotel.One of the women thought she left a cell phone in the room, at which point an officer escorted her back to look for it. The other woman, 34-year-old Allison Daughtrey went into the lobby and began arguing with hotel staff.At that point, the security guard claims Daughtrey pointed a gun at him. While trying to disarm Daughtrey, the gun fired and struck a door frame in the lobby.A Baltimore County Police officer was outside heading back to his patrol car when he heard the gunshot. The officer returned to arrest her.Daughtey told police that the security guard hit her first and that she swung her purse at him to protect her self. She claims that's what caused the gun to fly across the room and fire.Police wrote in the charging documents that surveillance footage shows Daughtrey entering the lobby, getting into an altercation with the guard, and later pulling out a gun.Daughtrey admitted to police that the gun was hers and she bought it in North Carolina.The security guard was later taken to the hospital for an injury he says he sustained after Daughtrey bit him.Daughtrey is currently being held without bond on multiple charges including attempted second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and gun crimes.A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 4.This story was originally published by 1890

There are creatures that have been in this country longer than man, and there are those that are fighting to make sure they stay as long as man plans to. In the small town of Divide, Colorado there’s a wolf sanctuary called Colorado Wolf and Wildlife center. “We focus on education, conservation and preservation of wolves,” says Darlene Koboble, the CEO and director of Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. “I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be working with wolves. It basically started with one wolf-dog that I rescued from a shelter from being euthanized, because she had part wolf in her. When I rescued her, she was my inspiration to be a voice for wolves, because they’ve been one of the most persecuted animals in history.”The gray wolf has been classified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an endangered species throughout the country since 1978. According to Fish and Wildlife Service, there were only around 1,000 gray wolves at the time, mostly in Minnesota. Today, there are more than 5,000 across the country, but there are disagreements on whether this number defines the population as recovered. “There is a big gap of wolves right now, and that gap is Colorado,” says Rob Edward of the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project (RMWP). “Colorado has one of the biggest deer populations, but it’s missing it’s primary top-level carnivore.”Edward said the RMWP’s primary goal is to introduce the gray wolf back into Colorado, which is on the state’s 2020 ballot. “They are as important to the forest of the west as a wildfire,” Edward says. “Without them, our wild places are impoverish.” In 2011, the gray wolf was dropped from the endangered list in Idaho and Montana. Wyoming also lost federal protections of gray wolves. Now, the Trump administration will seek to end those federal protections nationwide across the whole country. The proposal would give states the authority to hold wolf hunting and trapping seasons.The Associated Press reported Jamie Rappaport Clark, a former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service now with the group Defenders of Wildlife, warned of an “all-out war on wolves” if the plan advances.“We don’t have any confidence that wolves will be managed like other wildlife,” she says.But government officials countered that the recovery of wolves from widespread extermination last century has worked and they no longer need the Endangered Species Act to shield them.Agriculture groups and lawmakers from western states are likely to support the administration’s proposal.“Ranching is a tough life,” says Martin Davis, a ranch owner in Montana. “It’s hard to make a living when you’re against mother nature. I’m a fourth-generation rancher in Paradise Valley, Montana. We’ve been here on the ranch for 45 years. One of the big problems we had was they re-introduced wolves back to Yellowstone. Early on, they were on the endangered species list and we couldn’t do anything but scare them away from our property. We lost live stock to wolves, and we’ve had some neighbors lose horses.” Wolves are now allowed to be hunted in Montana in three different seasons throughout the year. “My life savings is tied up in my cattle,” Davis says. “And when you have something out there stealing your life savings, it’s a hard pill to swallow. I think taking them off the endangered list nationwide has to be done. When that happens, I’m not saying we are going to kill every wolf in the country – that’s not the point. Taking them off the endangered species list is good so the numbers can be managed. I don’t hate wolves, but I can see the argument that they don’t want the wolf to go away again. But I don’t think that’s a worry if they’re managed correctly.”U.S. Fish and Wildlife have until March 2020 to decide if the gray wolf comes off the endangered species list. Officials will take public comments on hearings until July 15. 3887
