USS Arizona Preserved with Concrete Lift

The U.S. Navy removed more than 150 tons of deteriorating concrete mooring platforms from the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor to relieve stress on the ship's decks and preserve the historic wreckage.

Originally installed after the 1941 attack to salvage guns and ammunition, the platforms had become partially embedded and posed a structural hazard.

Over the course of a month, Navy divers and contractors used cranes and diamond wire saws to lift the concrete while minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment.

Sunday marked the 84th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack.

State Near Top for Outbound Moves

Historically a top destination for movers, Arizona is now losing residents, according to moving company Atlas.

Over the past year, 57% of the company’s recorded interstate moves in Arizona were outbound—the biggest rate of outflow since 2016.

Lack of affordable housing and rising living costs are cited as factors driving Arizonans away, with median home prices and rents outpacing typical incomes.

Some relief may be coming, as Phoenix-area rents have dipped slightly and nearly 87% of homes have lost value over the past year, indicating lower selling prices.

Arkansas and Idaho saw the largest influx of movers by percentage increase.

Prediction Markets Under Study

Arizona officials are reviewing online prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi for possible increased regulatory oversight.

Federally regulated as financial instruments rather than gambling, prediction markets let users wager on anything from celebrity news to economic forecasts.

The state attorney general's office says it is "closely monitoring" the industry.

The state Department of Gaming has warned legal sportsbooks that partnering with prediction markets could jeopardize their licenses.
