Retroactive crown on trial: Should Chelsea lose the 2016-17 title to Tottenham?

The article centers on Mauricio Pochettino's suggestion that Chelsea should be stripped of the 2016-17 Premier League title after a Premier League investigation found secret payments to unregistered agents for players including Eden Hazard. Chelsea were fined but avoided a points deduction, while Tottenham finished seven points behind in second with 86 points to Chelsea's 93. It weighs how much the signings and breaches may have influenced the title race, notes Hazard's impact and the contributions of Willian, Luiz and Matic, and captures fans' reactions as no verdict has been reached and broader questions about sporting sanctions linger.

Uncovering the Neglected Danger: Understudied High-Threat Volcanoes

A recent study highlights the severe lack of data on high-threat volcanoes in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which stretches from Northern California to southern British Columbia. Despite their significant hazards, scientists have limited knowledge of where magma is stored beneath these volcanoes, hindering their ability to understand and predict future eruptions. Practical limitations, such as the difficulty of detecting magma movement and installing monitoring equipment in protected areas, contribute to the lack of data. The researchers hope their work will help prioritize efforts to study the most dangerous and least understood volcanoes in the region.

"Unveiling the Hidden Earthquake Threats Looming Over the US"

Scientists have used tree rings to determine that the Puget Lowlands in western Washington, which is now home to over 4 million people, is facing a serious earthquake threat. By analyzing tree rings, researchers discovered evidence of a cluster of earthquakes that occurred about 1,000 years ago, indicating the potential for a repeat event. The earthquakes were either the result of multiple shallow faults rupturing together or twin quakes occurring back-to-back. The findings highlight the need for preparedness in the region, as a significant earthquake could cause severe damage to infrastructure and trigger landslides and local tsunamis.

Tom Kim's Wild Mud Adventure at PGA Championship

Pro golfer Tom Kim got covered in mud during his first round at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in New York. After hitting his tee shot way off line, his ball settled in a patch of high weeds. Kim chose to strip off his shoes and socks and go in after it, wading through waist-high mud for several moments before turning back without the ball. Despite having to take a penalty stroke and throw away his mud-stained shirt, he ended up bogeying the hole and finished his round at +3.
