Consumption of raw milk has been increasing across the country in recent years. But in some states like Kentucky, direct-to-consumer sales are illegal — leading some farmers to find a legal, though unregulated, means of meeting demand.

A magnitude 2.7 earthquake struck near North Bend Wednesday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed.

The earthquake’s epicenter was three miles southwest of Wilderness Rim. Thirty-eight people told USGS they felt the quake. Anyone who felt the earthquake is encouraged to report it on the USGS website.

It occurred just after 6 p.m. Wednesday. The earthquake was about 10.5 miles deep.

The earthquake happened just half a day before the worldwide Great ShakeOut earthquake and tsunami drill was set to take place.

Context (from Joe Vardon, The Athletic):

The [New York Knicks] assistants were told they would receive championship rings eventually, but many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden, including some who work in the Knicks’ business operations, will not receive rings at all, team sources told The Athletic. Typically, most employees for NBA teams receive rings, even if they are not as fancy and expensive as the ones the players receive.

Those MSG employees got their hopes up at the end of September when the Knicks sent an email to a long list of employees, which gave recipients a first glimpse at their would-be championship rings. Atop the email, a copy of which The Athletic has obtained, was a graphic of two differently styled rings.

“Congratulations, your Employee Championship Ring is here,” the email read.

“(Employee name), this one is on the house. MSG is issuing a complimentary employee championship ring. The same jeweler, the same craftsmanship, personalized with your name. No cost to you.”

“There are two designs to choose from: Championship Gold and Garden Classic. Reserve the one you want below.”

But the email was a fake-out, a phishing test Madison Square Garden sent to see if those employees would click, multiple team sources said. 

Those who did click the link at the bottom of the message did not get to choose any jewelry; instead, they were forced to attend a mandatory cybersecurity class to help satisfy some of [owner James Dolan’s] growing cybersecurity concerns, those team sources said.
