By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor They are getting ready now, wondering if the race will bring prize money, glory to their dogs, or just some quiet laughter from the other mushers. The Iditarod Trail. It has come to mean “The Trail” to dog mushers and kennel owners all over the state of Alaska and in a lot of other places. There are other long distance dogsled races now. We know that. But the Iditarod started all that “long, cold camping trip” stuff. And I was lucky to be a part of that very first Iditarod in March of 1973. Strangely enough, each musher has a list of life-saving equipment and food on that sled. Unfortunately, when they check a musher’s lungs and heart, they forget to test the brain. The race would probably be run quicker and more efficiently, but it undoubtedly wouldn’t be as much fun. In my... Read more →

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Van Drew and Congresswoman Dean (PA-4), joined by a bipartisan group of colleagues, reintroduced the Stopping Harmful Image Exploitation and Limiting Distribution (SHIELD) Act. This critical bill addresses the growing threat of online exploitation by strengthening existing laws to hold offenders accountable for image-based attacks. "As technology advances, so do the ways in which bad actors exploit children and vulnerable adults," said Congressman Van Drew (NJ-02). "Predators are using intimate images as weapons, threatening to share them without consent and taking advantage of their victims' fear. Our current laws have not kept pace with these evolving threats, allowing perpetrators to escape justice far too often. The SHIELD Act will strengthen our existing laws, ensuring those who exploit others for personal gain are held responsible for their actions." "Sharing someone else's private images online, without consent, is predatory behavior that causes grave reputational, psychological, and social... Read more →
