The state House Liquor Control Committee unanimously approved a measure Wednesday that removes some restrictions on alcohol sales by restaurants, bars and taverns. The bill, HB148, is only the first part of a larger movement by the committee to update the state’s alcohol laws.

For the first time, researchers have peered inside a living mouse cell and mapped the processes that power the celebrated health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.
