A jury in Georgia has ordered Monsanto parent Bayer to pay nearly $2.1 billion in damages to a man who says the companys Roundup weed killer caused his cancer, according to attorneys representing the plaintiff.The verdict marks the latest in a long-running series of court battles Monsanto has faced over its Roundup herbicide. The agrochemical giant says it will appeal the verdict, reached in a Georgia courtroom late Friday, in efforts to overturn the decision.The penalties awarded include $65 million in compensatory damages and $2 billion in punitive damages, law firms Arnold & Itkin LLP and Kline & Specter PC said in a statement. That marks one of the largest legal settlements reached in a Roundup-related case to date.Plaintiff John Barnes filed his lawsuit against Monsanto in 2021, seeking damages related to his non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Arnold & Itkin attorney Kyle Findley, the lead trial lawyer on the case, said the verdict will help put his client in a better position to get the treatment he needs going forward.Its been a long road for him . . . and he was happy that the truth related to the product (has) been exposed, Findley told the Associated Press on Sunday. He called the verdict an important milestone after another example of Monsantos refusal to accept responsibility for poisoning people with this toxic product.Germany-based Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, has continued to dispute claims that Roundup causes cancer. But the company has been hit with more than 177,000 lawsuits involving the weedkiller and set aside $16 billion to settle cases.In a statement, Monsanto said Fridays verdict conflicts with the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence and the consensus of regulatory bodies and their scientific assessments worldwide. The company added that it continues to stand fully behind the safety of Roundup products.For a variety of cropsincluding corn, soybeans, and cottonRoundup is designed to work with genetically modified seeds that resist the weedkillers deadly effect. It allows farmers to produce more while conserving the soil by tilling it less.Some studies associate Roundups key ingredient, glyphosate, with cancer, although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has said it is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans when used as directed. Still, numerous lawsuits over the weedkiller allege glyphosate does cause non-Hodgkin lymphoma, arguing that Monsanto has failed to warn the public about serious risks for years.Findley said that evidence relating to Barness case show many years of cover-ups and backroom dealings. He accused Monsanto of ignoring several scientific studies related to the toxicity of Roundup and said the company tried to find ways to persuade and distract and deny the connection between this product and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.Fridays decision marks the fourth Roundup-related verdict that Findleys team has won to datethe largest of which was awarded in Philadelphia in January 2024, with damages totaling $2.25 billion. And he said his law firm has many more clients who are similarly situated as Mr. Barnes.Monsanto, meanwhile, also maintains that it remains committed to trying casesand argues its wider record of Roundup-related litigation continues to reinforce the safety of its products. The company said it has prevailed in 17 of the last 25 related trials, while some previous damage awards have been reduced.Bayer has recently renewed and expanded an effort across a handful of U.S. states to protect pesticide companies from claims they failed to warn that a product causes cancer, if labeling otherwise complies with EPA regulations. The company and other industry supports argue that litigation costs are unstainable and could impact Roundups future availability. But opponents stress that such legislation would limit accountability.Wyatte Grantham-Philips, AP Business Writer

On March 20, Spring officially arrived in America. While much of the attention on the nations capital over the past two months has focused on President Trump and his rash of controversial executive actions, the next two weeks will bring at least some much-needed tranquility to Washington, D.C.Thats because the capitals famous cherry blossoms are now in bloom, just as they have been around this time of year every year since 1912, when Japan gifted some of its sakura (cherry blossom) trees to the people of the United States.In total, Japan gifted 3,020 sakura trees of multiple varieties, says the National Parks Service, which were then planted around D.C. and have bloomed there ever since.Cherry Blossoms 2025 map[Image: Casey Trees]The best place to see the cherry blossoms is at the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. The Tidal Basin is a reservoir between the Washington Channel and the Potomac River in the capital. As Washington.org notes, some of the best places to snap your cherry blossom pics include the Jefferson Memorial, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.However, the Tidal Basin isnt the only place to see D.C.s cherry blossoms. They can also be found along the National Mall, as well as at Anacostia Park, Dumbarton Oaks, the National Arboretum, Oxon Run Park, and Stanton Park.But thats not all either. Cherry blossoms are planted across various public lands in the nations capital. A great way to find them is to use the interactive map created by the Washington, D.C., nonprofit called CasseyTrees, which helps maintain and protect the tree canopy of Americas capital.The interactive map allows you to enter an address that shows you the closest cherry trees. The map is even color coded so you know which of the 12 different varieties of cherry blossoms are located where.When are the peak bloom dates and times?Washington, D.C.s, cherry blossoms tend to bloom during the last week of March and the first week of April. But there is a sweet spot if you want to catch the cherry blossoms at their peak bloom, says the National Parks Service (NPS).The NPS defines its peak bloom date as the day when 70% of the Yoshino Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) blossoms are open. The date can vary each year based on weather conditions.Peak bloom typically last for several days, according to the NPS. And for 2025, the NPS says the peak bloom will occur from Friday, March 28, to Monday, March 31.

Back in 1992, Chris Columbus was either the guy who directed "Home Alone" or the guy who "discovered" America. And that year, Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign released a wild concept vehicle called The Columbus (in memory of the latter CC). The "ultra-high level status vehicle" was meant to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage to America (before that came to be seen as problematic). The minivan's swoopy, nautical style lines say Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria more than they do Dodge Caravan."Mini" van might be the wrong term, though that's what Italdesign called it. The vehicle was actually 6 meters (19.7') long and seated up to nine people. The driving position is elevated for better visibility, and the enginea 5-liter BMW V-12was beneath the driver's position. Startlingly for the time, the driver's seat was in the center of the vehicle. (The McLaren F1, which also adopted this arrangement, wasn't released until the following year.) Unsurprisingly, the vehicle never saw production.
