Mike Kline (notkalvin)(NEW YORK) -- Federal officials continue to investigate the spread of avian flu, also known as bird flu, in livestock across the country and are now testing the U.S. beef supply to look for the genetic presence of the H5N1 virus.The virus has been found in at least 34 cattle herds across nine states, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The federal agency said it remains confident that the nation's meat supply is safe."There have been no cases of any human being contracting bird flu or H5N1 from meat or milk. So it's completely safe," Dr. Scott Haskell, a professor of food safety at the Institute for Food Laws and Regulations at Michigan State University, told ABC News. "It's not a disease that spreads through eating or drinking."A spokesperson from the USDA said in a statement: "USDA has a rigorous meat inspection process, where USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) veterinarians are present at all federal livestock slaughter facilities."The news from the USDA comes after the Food and Drug Administration noted that fragments of the virus were found in the commercial milk supply. Later tests showed that the widespread practice of pasteurization inactivated the virus."This additional testing did not detect any live, infectious virus. These results reaffirm our assessment that the commercial milk supply is safe," the FDA said.Experts said people should still be careful of consuming raw milk or products made from raw milk."Raw milk is unpasteurized and has a plethora of bacteria and viruses in it ... if there is any bird flu in the [raw] milk, it's not going to be denatured or killed. So, you run a minor risk from raw milk," Haskell explained.The USDA said it will begin work on three separate beef studies: sampling ground beef at retail stores in states where cattle have tested positive; sampling beef muscle from sick dairy cows that have been culled; and conducting experiments that test cooking ground beef to various temperatures."Despite our confidence in the safety of the meat supply, the importance of continued and comprehensive investigations remains critical. These studies are crucial for maintaining public trust and ensuring that our food safety measures evolve in response to new information about H5N1," said Dr. John Brownstein, chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital and an ABC News medical contributor.Only meat that has passed inspection can be sold in grocery stores or restaurants, according to the USDA. The agency has veterinarians that are present at all federal livestock slaughter facilities where animals are inspected before and after slaughter.Officials continue to recommend safe handling of food to help prevent foodborne illnesses: wash hands and surfaces often, separate raw meats from other foods, cook meat to the right temperature and chill food promptly in a refrigerator. Ground beef should be cooked to 160F and ground poultry to 165F, according to the USDA."The USDA's ongoing studies into the safety of beef considering the H5N1 findings in dairy cattle underscore the thoroughness of our food safety protocols," Brownstein added.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

'Furiosa' stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth -- Disney/Greg Williams)In an extensive cover piece, Chris Hemsworth goes deep with Vanity Fair about leaving Hollywood for his native Australia, his disappointment over Thor: Love and Thunder and how — for the last time — he does not have Alzheimer's.On the latter point, Hemsworth found out through his 2022 Disney+ show Limitless that his DNA showed a risk for the disease. But that revelation, plus a planned break from making movies — partly to nurse an injured back — had the rumor mill spinning."It really kind of p***** me off because it felt like I had been vulnerable with something personal and shared this," the Marvel movie star admits."No matter how much I said, 'This is not a death sentence,' the story became that I have dementia and I'm reconsidering life and retiring and so on."However, he did allow, "I did read a really funny comment at the bottom of one article: 'I hope Chris forgets he's retiring and comes back.'"The star also looked back at his final film as Thor: 2023's Love and Thunder, in which the acclaimed humor from director Taika Waititi's blockbuster predecessor Thor: Ragnarok went off the rails for both critics and audiences."I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself," Hemsworth says. "I didn't stick the landing."The actor will next be seen in the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa for one of his filmmaking idols, fellow Aussie George Miller.The filmmaker explains Hemsworth became unrecognizable as the warlord Dementus. "When I saw Chris many months later, my first instinct was, 'Wait a minute, this is not Chris Hemsworth. This is a fraud!" Miller says. Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute(NEW YORK) -- In the race to understand the potential habitability of Saturn's icy and active moon, Enceladus, scientists could have a newfound understanding of the moon's defining stripes and eruptions.Enceladus harbors a global, subsurface ocean more than 30 miles deep, that periodically erupts jets of ice crystals and plumes of gas above its South Pole, which were first recognized by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in 2005.During the 13-year mission studying Saturn and its 146 moons, the Cassini spacecraft was able to capture material ejected into space by Enceladus' jets.Enceladus, named after a giant in Greek mythology, is the sixth-largest of Saturn's many moons and spans approximately 310 miles in diameter, according to NASA.Over nearly 20 years, scientists have explored the chemical makeup in Enceladus' jets, and in a June 2023 study, researchers determined that the salt-rich frozen liquid and gas plumes contain the key ingredients needed to sustain life: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus.On Monday, another piece of the Enceladus puzzle was announced by a team of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a paper published in Nature.Researchers found Enceladus' eruptions, which vary in brightness, stem from four distinct fractures on the surface of the celestial body, referred to as "tiger stripes."The study, led by Alexander Berne, a PhD candidate at Caltech, analyzed the brightness of Enceladus' jets and determined they were in sync with his hypothesized, sliding side-by-side motion of the moon's tiger stripes.The study suggests Enceladus' tiger stripes open differently than previously understood, and to put it simply, Berne likened the movement of Enceladus' tiger stripes to that of California's San Andreas fault line."In our study, we propose that strike-slip or side-to-side motion, similar to what happens on the San Andreas Fault when there's an earthquake, could regulate Enceladus' jets," Berne told ABC News, adding that tides in Enceladus' ocean drives the movement of the tiger stripes."To explain the correlation between strikes that motion jet activity, we have these little bends and faults at the South Pole, which periodically open and close in response to tides, and allow for material to rise through Enceladus' shell and spew into space," Berne said.So how does this newfound information further the investigation into one of the most compelling celestial bodies in our solar system?Berne explained that understanding the transport history of Enceladus' mineral-rich expulsions is instrumental to understanding the potential habitability of the moon."There's a lot of interest in going back to Enceladus and sampling this material for life detection purposes," Berne said."To understand what we're sampling, we need to have an understanding of the transport history of that material," Berne continued, adding, "This study provides a framework for understanding that transport history."Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

"I'm battling cancer so thinking how am I going to spend all the money," he said, adding that he can now find a "good doctor" and that he and his wife plan to buy a home with their lump-sum winnings.Saephan immigrated to America in 1994 and used to work in aerospace.He and his wife and their friend, Laiza Chao, bought 20 Powerball tickets in hopes of winning the jackpot."I call Laiza as she's driving to work, I told her you don't have to go to work now; we won the lottery; we won the jackpot!" Saephan recalled during the press conference.The staggering $1.326 billion Powerball ticket was the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot in history and the eighth-largest among U.S. jackpot games, according to the Oregon Lottery.On April 6, a lucky ticket matching all six Powerball numbers was sold at the Plaid Pantry convenience store in Portland, Oregon, the state's lottery announced at the time.The numbers drawn for the jackpot were 22, 27, 44, 52 and 69, with a Powerball of 9, the lottery said."This is our first winner on this scale, so this is very exciting for us," Melanie Mesaros, spokesperson for the Oregon Lottery told ABC News on April 7.The lottery winners have the opportunity to accept a lump cash sum of $621 million or receive annual payouts of the $1.3 billion, also pre-tax -- starting with one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, the lottery said.The jackpot is subject to federal taxes and state taxes in Oregon.The Plaid Pantry location in northeast Portland will also receive a $100,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, according to the lottery."Plaid Pantry is thrilled to learn that one of our 104 Oregon stores sold the $1.3 billion dollar Powerball ticket," Plaid Pantry President and CEO Jonathan Polonsky said in a statement to the Oregon Lottery.

"We're taking every precaution to verify the winner before awarding the prize money, which will take time."The Powerball jackpot previously ballooned to an estimated $1.3 billion ahead of the April 6 drawing after a record-tying streak with no jackpot winner.The Powerball hasn't been won since Jan. 1, when a ticket sold in Michigan claimed a $842.4 million jackpot.In 2022, the largest U.S. lottery jackpot, worth $2.04 billion, was won in California.Powerball is a multi-state jackpot operated by 44 states, plus the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, according to Oregon Lottery.Powerball tickets are $2 per play and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to Powerball.

Steve Prorak/EyeEm/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Rural Americans are more likely to die early from one of the five leading causes of death than those who live in urban areas, according to new federal data.Researchers looked at the number of potentially preventable deaths from 2010 through 2022. The report was published Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Rural Americans were more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries, stroke and chronic lower respiratory disease before age 80 compared to urbanites, researchers said."There is a well-described, rural-urban divide in the United States, where rural residents tend to be sicker and poorer and to have worse health outcomes than do their non-rural peers," Dr. Macarena Garcia, a senior health scientist in the CDC's Office of Rural Health, said during a press conference on Monday.About 20% of the U.S. population lives in rural areas while the remaining 80% live in urban areas, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.Previous research has indicated that rural Americans face numerous health care challenges including long travel distances to special and emergency care and are less likely to have health insurance. Additionally, rural Americans have higher rates of high blood pressure and obesity.For the report, researchers identified premature deaths as occurring before age 80. The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 79 in 2010. The number of preventable early deaths was calculated by subtracting the number of expected deaths by the number of actual deaths.Although COVID-19 has been the third- or fourth-leading cause of death since 2020, the CDC said deaths from the virus were "excluded to maintain consistency and facilitate the assessment of trends over time."Since 2010, an estimated 6.37 million Americans have died prematurely from the five leading causes over the 12-year study period. Researchers found that about 64% of deaths from unintentional injury -- which includes car accidents, falls, accidental shootings, unintentional poisonings, overdose deaths and drownings -- could have been prevented.The report found 34% of stroke and heart disease deaths were preventable as were 26% of deaths from chronic lower respiratory disease.Results showed the percentage of preventable deaths were highest in rural counties versus urban ones.For example, 44% of heart disease deaths among people below age 80 in rural areas were potentially preventable compared with 27% in urban areas. More than half of early deaths from unintentional injury and chronic lower respiratory disease in rural areas were preventable.For deaths from cancer, less than 20% of deaths were preventable in rural counties."We have to remember that screening prevention services as well as treatment services are much more accessible in urban areas," Garcia said. "So that means they are limited in rural areas. Sometimes people have to drive two, three hours to the nearest center that provides specialty care."She went on, "So that means people go without preventive services. People in rural areas likely have lower rates of screening and certainly have less access to treatment."When it came to geographic variation, Garcia said the CDC analysis showed consistently that the southeastern U.S. was the region with the highest prevalence of preventable early deaths.In 2022, for example, the CDC found that when in came to unintentional injuries, between 70% and 100% of early deaths in several southeastern states including South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee could have been prevented. By comparison, between 30% and 66% of deaths could have been prevented in the majority of states.The CDC said it is trying to improve rural health by funding and guiding public health programs in rural communities such as increasing cancer screenings for women and promoting physical education in schools."We believe these findings can help guide focused public health interventions at the local and community levels to effectively reduce the risks of premature death," Garcia said during the press briefing. "The findings also suggest a need to better understand potential shifts in social, environmental and structural inequities contributing to disparities in preventable early deaths between rural and urban areas."Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.
