As the U.S. grapples with record-high inflation rates, many states throughout the country are searching for ways to put money back into residents’ pockets.
People on social media (here and here) are claiming that California is sending out “inflation relief” stimulus checks. Google Trends data also show people are searching for information about when those checks will arrive.
VERIFY readers, including Angel in Georgia, have also reached out to the team to ask about whether other states are providing direct payments.
THE QUESTION
Are some U.S. states sending out “inflation relief” tax rebate checks?
THE SOURCES
- California Gov. Gavin Newsom
- California’s Budget Act of 2022
- Departments of revenue, taxation and finance in Georgia, Maine, New Mexico, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, New Jersey, Indiana, Virginia and Delaware
THE ANSWER
Yes, California and other U.S. states are sending out “inflation relief” tax rebate checks.
WHAT WE FOUND
A dozen states are sending tax rebate checks to millions of residents this year as inflation drives up the price of everything from gasoline to food. Many of the state governments are able to send these checks due to excess revenue.
The federal government is not sending a fourth stimulus check to all U.S. residents at this time.
Here’s what we know about the direct payments from states, starting with California.
California
On June 26, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state leaders announced that they reached an agreement on the state’s 2022-23 budget, including a $17 billion “inflation relief package” offering tax refunds of up to $1,050 to 23 million California residents. Money for the tax refunds is coming from the state’s historic $97 billion budget surplus.
VERIFY sister station KFMB in San Diego reports that California residents could receive their rebates as early as October 2022 in the form of either direct deposit or as a debit card.
“California’s budget addresses the state’s most pressing needs, and prioritizes getting dollars back into the pockets of millions of Californians who are grappling with global inflation and rising prices of everything from gas to groceries,” Newsom and other leaders said in a joint statement.
The amount of money that a person will receive depends on their income and the number of dependents they claimed on their income tax return.
Here’s how the tax refunds break down for California residents:
Tier 1: Single taxpayer with income up to $75,000 and couples filing jointly with income up to $150,00
- Single filer with no dependents: $350
- Single parent with at least one dependent: $700
- Joint filer with no dependents: $700
- Joint filer with at least one dependent: $1,050
Tier 2: Single taxpayer with income up to $125,000 and couples with income up to $250,000
- Single filer with no dependents: $250
- Single parent with at least one dependent: $500
- Joint filer with no dependents: $500
- Joint filer with at least one dependent: $750
Tier 3: Single taxpayer with income up to $250,000 and couples with income up to $500,000
- Single filer with no dependents: $200
- Single parent with at least one dependent: $400
- Joint filer with no dependents: $200
- Joint filer with at least one dependent: $600
Roughly 500,000 tax filers with incomes above the third tier will not receive a tax rebate, state officials say.
Georgia
The Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) announced on May 11 that it would begin issuing special, one-time tax refunds due to the state experiencing a revenue surplus.
Taxpayers who filed income tax returns in both 2020 and 2021 will receive the credit, Gov. Brian Kemp’s office said.
"When government takes in more than it needs, I believe those dollars should be returned to the taxpayer, because that is your money - not the government's,” Kemp said.
Those who are single or married and filing separately will receive $250, heads of household will receive $375, and those who are married and filing jointly will receive $500. Those who are eligible will get their refund by mail or direct deposit, depending on what they indicated on their tax return.
The DOR expects that it will issue all refunds by early August for tax returns filed by April 18, 2022.
Maine
An estimated 858,000 Maine residents are also receiving $850 relief checks amid “pandemic-drive inflation, ranging from higher energy costs to increased prices of everyday goods,” Gov. Janet Mills said.
The state is also using its budget surplus to fund the direct payments.
To be eligible, individuals must file a 2021 Maine individual income tax return by Oct. 31, 2022 as a full-time resident.
Those eligible must not be claimed as a dependent, and must have a federal adjusted gross income of less than:
- $100,000 if filing single or if married and filing separately;
- $150,000 if filing as head of household;
- $200,000 for couples filing jointly.
The first round of relief checks were mailed in June 2022, and will be delivered on a rolling basis through the end of the year as tax returns are received, Mills’ office said. Checks will be mailed to the address provided on a person’s 2021 Maine individual income tax return.
New Mexico
New Mexico is providing multiple rebates for taxpayers in 2022, according to the state Department of Taxation and Revenue.
“This summer we’ll be returning hundreds of millions of dollars in relief to families around New Mexico, protecting their paychecks and helping them cope with the rising prices of gas, groceries and other household expenses,” Gov. Michelle Lujan said.
Married couples filing jointly, heads of household and surviving spouses with incomes under $150,000 will receive a refundable income tax rebate of $500 in July 2022. Single filers and married people filing separately with incomes under $75,000 will receive $250.
The state is also issuing another round of equal payments of $250 or $500 to single taxpayers and married couples in June 2022 and August 2022.
Residents who do not file income tax returns will receive a $1,000 relief payment if they are a married couple or single person with one or more dependents. Single taxpayers without dependents will receive $500.
The relief payments for those who don’t file tax returns will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applications are available online.
Colorado
In Colorado, taxpayers will receive rebates of $750 for individual filers and $1,500 for joint filers in summer 2022.
“We are providing real relief when Coloradans need it most. Everyone in our state is feeling the impact of rising costs, and I refuse to let the government sit on taxpayers’ money when it could be used to make life a little bit easier for the people of our state,” Gov. Jared Polis said on June 21, 2022.
The state Department of Revenue says those who have filed their state income tax return will receive their “Colorado Cash Back” check via mail by Sept. 30, 2022. Those who file on extension by Oct. 17, 2022 will receive tax rebates in January 2023.
Hawaii
Hawaii is also providing refunds to its taxpayers and their dependents, Gov. David Ige’s office said. The state’s Department of Taxation anticipates that it will begin processing the refunds in late August 2022.
Single taxpayers who earn less than $100,000 per year and couples who earn less than $200,000 per year will receive $300, and single taxpayers and couples who earn more will receive $100.
Idaho
Idaho Gov. Brad Little said during his Jan. 10 state and budget address that the state needed to deploy immediate tax relief to residents given soaring inflation.
The state began sending tax rebates of $75 per taxpayer and dependent, or 12% of their income tax amount – whichever is greater – beginning in March 2022. Payments will be issued weekly throughout 2022 as taxpayers file their returns and become eligible for the rebate, according to the state Tax Commission.
Illinois
Illinois is giving out one-time individual income and property tax rebates to people who meet certain requirements in 2022. The $1.8 billion in tax relief is aimed at easing the “burden of inflation for families,” House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch (D-Westchester) said.
Single taxpayers will receive a $50 income tax rebate, while couples will get a $100 rebate. Families will also receive a rebate amount of up to $300 per dependents – or $100 per dependent, with a maximum of three.
Those who qualify for the income tax rebate include people who lived in Illinois in 2021, and had an adjusted gross income of under $400,000 if filing jointly and under $200,000 if filing as a single taxpayer, according to the state Department of Revenue.
New Jersey
New Jersey began mailing Middle Class Tax Rebates to eligible residents on July 2. Those who filed a 2020 income tax return and claimed at least one dependent child with a tax balance of $1 or more qualify for the tax rebate.
The rebate amount is equal to the tax paid after credits, up to a maximum amount of $500. Tax rebates will be issued as a paper check, separate from the income tax refund.
New Jersey’s Division of Taxation anticipates it will take about six weeks for the initial checks to be processed.
Indiana
Indiana is also giving taxpayers a one-time tax refund of $125, according to the state Department of Revenue. Married couples filing jointly will receive $250.
Checks began arriving in bank accounts beginning in May and will continue through mid-summer.
There is no income requirement to receive a check – you just need to have filed a 2020 Indiana tax return by Jan. 3, 2022, and a 2021 tax return by April 18, 2022.
In early June, Gov. Eric Holcomb announced a plan to send more checks of $225 to residents, but legislation hasn’t been signed into law.
“Hoosiers have real needs right now during this period of high inflation, from the gas pump to buying groceries, and everyone should benefit from the state’s success,” Holcomb said.
Virginia
Virginia lawmakers approved a one-time tax rebate of $250 per single taxpayer and $500 for a couple filing jointly.
Tax rebates won’t be issued until late September 2022, the state Department of Taxation said. Those who are eligible and filed their taxes before July 1 will “likely” receive their rebate in September or October.
Residents will receive their tax rebate via direct deposit or as a check in the mail.
Delaware
Delaware is sending one-time direct payments of $300 per adult resident – or $600 for married couples – to help people as they face “higher prices at the grocery store and gas pump,” the state Department of Finance said.
Gov. John Carney said the tax rebates are “intended to help counter the impact of inflation on Delaware families.”
The state issued the first round of payments in May 2022, and more will arrive to eligible residents who filed 2021 tax returns throughout the summer. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/verify/money-verify/these-states-sending-inflation-relief-tax-rebate-checks/536-c0142314-6204-4ffc-a925-7a3205b113d2 | 2022-06-30T22:22:57Z | https://www.krem.com/article/news/verify/money-verify/these-states-sending-inflation-relief-tax-rebate-checks/536-c0142314-6204-4ffc-a925-7a3205b113d2 | false | 13 |

Get the best flavor for your smoked meats with one of these top-rated smokers
Grilling burgers and hot dogs can certainly make for a successful barbecue, but if you want to take things up a notch, you can’t top the delicious flavor of smoked meats.
Smoking meats like brisket, ribs and pork shoulder requires a smoker that can maintain the lower temperature needed for the cooking process. With a combination of smoky, sweet and spicy notes from the wood, a pellet smoker typically offers the best flavor you can get for foods at your barbecue or picnic.
If you’re in the market for a pellet smoker for your outdoor parties this summer, check out some of the best models you can find for any budget.
What is a pellet smoker?
A pellet smoker, also known as a pellet grill, is an outdoor grill that uses food-grade wood pieces pressed into pellets for fuel. Its design borrows elements from gas grills, charcoal grills and convection ovens, so you can usually smoke, grill, bake, roast and braise on a pellet smoker.
To create heat, the smoker has a pellet hopper that you fill with wood pellets. Gravity helps the pellets move through an auger until they reach the burn pot. Here, the pellets are heated, and a system of fans distributes the heat and smoke throughout the grill. That gives the food a rich, smoky flavor that can’t be matched. Because smoking uses low temperatures and longer cooking times, you also wind up with wonderfully tender, juicy meat.
Pellet smoker features
Stainless steel construction
For a pellet smoker to last many years, you want a model with stainless steel construction that resists rust and allows for easy cleaning. Smokers made of 304 stainless steel are the highest quality, but those with 430 stainless steel are more affordable and still offer good durability.
Large capacity hopper
A smoker’s pellet hopper should be large enough to hold all the pellets you’ll need for a single smoking session. Opt for a grill that has a hopper that can hold at least 18 pounds of pellets. This way, you won’t have to refill it too often.
Temperature range
The wider a pellet smoker’s temperature range is, the more versatile it is. Smoking requires lower temperatures, so a grill with a temperature range of 180 to 450 degrees usually works well. If you also want to grill on your smoker, look for a model that can reach at least 500 degrees.
Temperature controller
All Pellet smokers have controls that allow you to achieve the desired temperature, but some offer greater control than others.
Those with a three-position controller only let you choose from low, medium and high settings, while a smoker with a multi-position controller enables you to select temperatures in 10-degree intervals. You’ll get the most control from a smoker with a proportional-integrative-derivative controller, which lets you maintain a temperature within one or two degrees of your setting. Pellet smokers with a PID controller are more expensive, though.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will host New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in London on Friday for talks on security and boosting bilateral ties.
The meeting comes after both leaders attended the NATO summit in Madrid this week.
Johnson's office said he and Ardern will discuss security challenges facing the Indo-Pacific region and the situation in Ukraine.
They are also expected to discuss tackling online disinformation and deepening bilateral trade ties as well as agree on new measures to boost the two countries' ties in scientific research.
“The partnership between the U.K. and New Zealand makes both of our countries safer and more prosperous," Johnson said in a statement. “We are working side by side to address new and evolving threats that threaten to undermine stability and sovereignty in Europe and the Indo-Pacific.”
The U.K. and New Zealand signed a free trade agreement in February following a similar deal with Australia in late 2021.
Johnson said the agreement slashes red tape, cuts tariffs on exports and creates opportunities for British businesses to travel and trade. But British farmers have said eliminating tariffs for agricultural products would expose sectors like beef, lamb and dairy to unfair competition. | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/UK-s-Johnson-to-host-New-Zealand-s-Ardern-in-17277709.php | 2022-06-30T22:29:51Z | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/UK-s-Johnson-to-host-New-Zealand-s-Ardern-in-17277709.php | false | 12 |

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York lawmakers plan to vote Thursday on legislation seeking to limit the proliferation of firearms in public after the Supreme Court gutted the state’s century-old handgun licensing law.
The state is overhauling its rules for carrying guns after the court decided that ordinary citizens had a right to arm themselves in public for self-defense, something the state limited in the past mostly to people working in law enforcement or security.
New rules being rushed through an emergency session of the Legislature would allow many more gun owners to apply for a license to carry a concealed weapon, but would seek to set new restrictions on where firearms can be carried.
Lawmakers and Hochul’s staff were still hammering out specifics Thursday afternoon, state Sen. Zellnor Myrie, a Democrat from Brooklyn, said.
“We’re continuing to have serious discussions because the implications are hard to overstate. We want to ensure we are doing this in a constitutional way, in a way that comports with the court’s opinion,” Myrie said at a press conference in New York’s State Capitol. “We’re just trying to close the loop on some details.”
One provision, proposed by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday, would ban people from carrying firearms into places of business unless owners put up signage saying guns are welcome.
New York would be the first state to pass such a rule, according to David Pucino, deputy chief counsel at Giffords Law Center. In states where carrying guns is more common, businesses that want to keep guns out are usually required to post signs indicating weapons aren’t allowed.
New York would also set new requirements for obtaining a handgun permit, including mandating 15 hours of in-person fire range training. The Legislature is also primed to enact new rules around firearm storage in homes and vehicles.
Gun advocate groups are critical of the new proposed restrictions, saying some of them infringe on the rights upheld by the Supreme Court.
Hochul and fellow Democrats also plan on compiling a list of “sensitive places” where the average person will be banned from carrying firearms, including hospitals, schools and public transportation.
Other provisions require background checks for all purchases of ammunition for guns that require a permit, and bar people with a history of dangerous behavior from getting handgun permits.

To avoid blackouts, California may tap fossil fuel plants
By KATHLEEN RONAYNE
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Looking to avoid power blackouts, California may turn to the one energy source it’s otherwise desperate to get rid of: fossil fuels.
A sweeping energy proposal from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office would put the state in the business of buying power to ensure there’s enough to go around during heat waves that strain the grid. But some critics say the method of getting there is at odds with the state’s broader climate goals, because it paves the way for the state to tap aging gas-fired power plants and add backup generators fueled by diesel.
The debate highlights the challenge some states are facing as they scramble to address heat waves fueled by climate change without compromising on their pledges to transition to non-fossil fuel energy sources like solar and wind.
California gets most of its energy from renewable sources during the day, but doesn’t yet have the storage to dispatch enough solar power after the sun goes down. The bill aims to speed up the building of more renewable energy and storage facilities by removing local governments from permitting decisions. Supply chain issues are also slowing down building.
Newsom is expected to sign the bill Thursday after lawmakers passed it the night before.
“Climate change is causing our energy demands to peak, and so we have to provide increased supply to meet that demand or we’re gonna be facing untenable crisis in our communities. At the same time, we are facing the problems because we are relying too much on fossil fuels. That’s the obvious conundrum that we’re in,” said Democratic state Sen. Dave Min, who represents Huntington Beach, a coastal community home to a gas-fired power plant.
The problem isn’t unique to California. In New Mexico, a coal-fired power plant was slated to close its last two units Thursday. But a major utility asked the state to keep one unit open through September to meet demands during hot summer months since solar and battery storage projects that were meant to replace the lost capacity have been delayed.
State energy officials warned earlier this year that the state risks an energy shortfall equivalent to what it takes to power 1.3 million homes on the summer’s hottest days. Newsom and lawmakers are desperate to avoid a scenario like August 2020, when hundreds of thousands of people temporarily lost power because there wasn’t enough supply to go around.
Newsom’s solution centers on creating a “strategic reliability reserve” run by the Department of Water Resources. The water agency has been given that role because it is a major producer and user of power through its dams and operation of the state’s water pumping system. This summer, the department could reimburse utilities if they have to buy extra power and add temporary power generators, including those powered by fossil fuels. Any diesel-powered generators couldn’t be used past 2023.
Beyond that, the water department would be able to build new energy storage and zero-emission generating stations. It could also spend state money buying power from coastal gas-fired plants that are set to close in 2023. The plants were first set to close in 2020. Likewise the department could keep buying power from the state’s last remaining nuclear plant if it stays open beyond its 2025 closure.
Several Democratic lawmakers said they had been given assurance by Newsom’s administration that any fossil fuel resources would be used as a last resort and that the bill does not give the water department the sole authority to extend the life of the gas plants or nuclear facility.
“Those are tough decisions that we’re all going to have to wrestle with,” said Sen. Henry Stern, a Democrat from Los Angeles County. “What this bill is doing is buying time.”
Republican state Sen. Shannon Grove, who represents fossil fuel-rich Bakersfield, said the legislation proves California needs oil and gas.
“If we don’t have these gas-powered plants to fire up when we need them you will not be able to flip the switch and get electricity,” she said.
Environmental groups, meanwhile, said the state wouldn’t need to rely on fossil fuels as a backup if it had moved faster to build up renewable resources and expressed concern that the bill doesn’t put enough guardrails on the water department’s power. The department would not have to comply with California’s landmark environmental law to move forward with new projects.
“The state is saying we need to rely on fossil power and they’re not fully admitting that it’s because of this lack of ambition,” said Alexis Sutterman, energy equity manager for the California Environmental Justice Alliance.
Andrew Campbell, executive director of the Energy Institute at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, said the water department’s new authority to buy power is “very expansive and open ended” and something that “really deserves scrutiny.”
California, he said, is likely on the forefront of a challenge that will probably hit other U.S. states as they move away from fossil fuels and boost how much energy is needed from the grid.
“Developing an electrical system that is very clean and doing that reliably is a challenge that hasn’t been solved anywhere,” he said. “And California, because it’s so far along with renewable energy development, is hitting that challenge sooner than some other places.” | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/06/30/to-avoid-blackouts-california-may-tap-fossil-fuel-plants-2/ | 2022-06-30T22:37:50Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-business/2022/06/30/to-avoid-blackouts-california-may-tap-fossil-fuel-plants-2/ | false | 23 |
SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer (B3: EMBR3, NYSE: ERJ) signed an agreement with Toyota do Brasil in order to embrace Toyota Production System (TPS) principles and concepts in its industrial operations. The initiative aims to eliminate waste, obtain operational efficiency, and increase value generation for stakeholders.
During the first phase of this joint work, a team of TPS specialists from Toyota Brazil will immerse themselves in Embraer's daily work to evaluate and suggest improvements for the company's main manufacturing area at the Ozires Silva Unit, located in São José dos Campos, São Paulo.
"Bringing Toyota to execute this work reinforces Embraer's commitment to focus on business excellence and sustainable growth," said Francisco Gomes Neto, CEO of Embraer. "It will be an excellent opportunity to exchange knowledge and accelerate the usage of the Lean philosophy in the production systems, while strengthening practices already conducted by the Embraer Enterprise Excellence Program, the P3E."
"TPS is a methodology that can contribute to different scenarios and occasions. More than efficiency and productivity, the TPS can provide solutions that allow industry and other sectors to continuously improve their processes, which is one of Toyota's pillars worldwide. There is still a possibility that we can contribute to the ESG agenda," said Rafael Chang, President of Toyota do Brasil.
Since 2007, Embraer has been following the Lean philosophy as a business strategy that spreads P3E principles, concepts, and practices. This program is responsible for leading transformations in an integrated way, paving the path for the entire company to make big steps in improving its processes. This system of excellence aims at safety first, quality always, and deliveries on time—all at the best cost.
A reference in the concept of Industry 4.0, Embraer has made immense progress at the forefront of manufacturing technologies with digital, integrated, and low environmental impact factories, with continuous improvement of processes and adaptation of technology for people and operations. From 2022, the company's goal is to grow carbon neutral and, by 2024, have 100% of energy coming from renewable sources in Brazilian operations.
About Toyota Production System (TPS)
Developed and refined over decades, since the beginning of the 21st century, TPS is a management philosophy that helps to optimize business results with a focus on safety, logistics and process management, always with quality and at a low cost. It is a system that seeks to expose and solve problems in the most diverse environments and situations, and that can be applied, therefore, to any activity in an organization.
Among the main TPS concepts that will be worked on in partnership with Embraer are just in time - which aims to create a continuous flow of manufacturing and greater partnership with suppliers for the efficient use of parts and resources, avoiding excess of inventories and waste - and the jidoka – which aims to improve the quality and added value of work executed in a factory.

The city of Oakley will not be hosting its Cityhood Celebration this year and is replacing the longtime event with Summer Fest on July 2. four
“The transition from Cityhood Celebration to the downtown Summer Fest event has presented a great opportunity to activate our downtown and encourage residents to support the restaurants and merchants,” said Oakley’s Recreation Manager, Lindsey Bruno. “As the event moves downtown, we are also expanding to bring live entertainment, a cornhole tournament, car show, and 5k fun run.”
The free event will also run during the day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and not include a fireworks display as it did in past years. As with previous downtown festivals, like the fall Heart of Oakley Festival, this event will be located between the Oakley Plaza (Grocery Outlet) and City Hall. Main Street will be closed for through traffic between Vintage Parkway and Norcross Lane before, during, and after the event. Moving downtown gives more space to spread out and offers the use of Oakley City Park’s covered stage area.
The new car show will feature up to 40 cars, trucks, and motorcycles of all makes and models. Car reservations for the car show will all be done in advance due to limited space. Awards for the car show will be given out at approximately 1:30 p.m. on the event day.
There will be plenty for kids to enjoy at this year’s Summer Fest, including jumpers, basketball bungee, bungee trampoline, big splash, rock wall, giant slide, face painting, goat petting zoo, and a balloon artist. The children’s area is $5 per child, with children five and under free.
Live entertainment includes groups like the funk, soul, and rock n roll sounds of The Floorshakers, The Real Thang Band with a musical trip through the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and Oakley’s very out Local Jazz Band with members made up of Freedom High School band alumni members.
Also, this year, a 5K fun run will take place on the Ironhouse Sanitary District property at 450 Walnut Meadows Drive, Oakley, accessible from downtown Oakley at Main Street, Rose Ave, and Districts Way. Check-in time for the run is 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. The run starts at 7 a.m. and finishes at 8:30 a.m. Admission is $25 per runner and includes a running bib, commemorative medal, fun swag, and shirt.
For more information on this event, go to Oakleysummerfest.com or the Oakley Recreation Center at 1250 O’Hara Avenue.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — State officials denied required air permit renewals Thursday to a bitcoin-mining power plant in the Finger Lakes that environmentalists called a threat to New York’s climate goals.
In rejecting the renewals, the state Department of Environmental Conservation said Greenidge Generation's “continued operations would be inconsistent with the statewide greenhouse gas emission limits" that New York is trying to meet under state law.
The company said it would continue operating under its current permit while it challenged the decision.
Greenidge, a former coal plant by the shore of Seneca Lake, was converted to natural gas several years ago and began bitcoin mining in earnest in 2020. Supporters say the plant provides a competitive way to mine cryptocurrency without putting a drain on the state’s power grid.
In a statement, the company insisted there was “no credible legal basis" for the denial.
“It is absurd for anyone to look at these facts and rationally claim that renewing this specific permit — for a facility that makes up a small fraction of the state’s electricity generation capacity — would impede New York’s long term climate goals. It simply would not," the company said.
But climate activists who see Greenidge as a test case asked Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration to deny renewal of the plant’s air quality permit and to block similar projects. They argued the fossil fuel plant on Seneca Lake undercut the state’s policy of slashing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming decades under its 2019 climate law.
Greenidge harnesses inexpensive energy to run the huge computer arrays needed for energy-intensive “proof-of-work” cryptocurrency mining — a term for the computational process that records and secures transactions in bitcoin and similar forms of digital money. The plant also supplies power to the state’s electricity grid.
But in its letter to the company, the DEC said that “instead of helping to meet the current electricity needs of the state as originally described, the facility is operating primarily to meet its own significant new energy load caused by Greenidge’s PoW cryptocurrency mining operations. In this sense, contrary to the department’s previous understanding, the facility is creating a significant new demand for energy for a wholly new purpose unrelated to its original permit."
Environmentalists were pleased with the denial.
Yvonne Taylor, vice president of the advocacy organization Seneca Lake Guardian, said in a statement, “This is an incredible, precedent-setting moment for everyone who has fought side by side with the Finger Lakes community."
“Governor Hochul and the DEC stood with science and the people, and sent a message to outside speculators: New York’s former fossil fuel-burning plants are not yours to re-open as gas-guzzling Bitcoin mining cancers on our communities,” Taylor said in the statement.
The controversy over Greenidge pitted environmental groups against the crypto-currency industry and was seen as a political quandary for Hochul. The Democratic governor is trying to build wide support as she runs for election to the office she took over last year upon the resignation of Andrew Cuomo.
Hochul also will have to decide whether to sign a law that would establish a two-year moratorium on new and renewed air permits for fossil fuel power plants used for proof-of-work mining.
Greenidge is not affected by the first-of-its-kind moratorium measure, which covers new applications.
Greenidge has said that even if the plant ran at full capacity, its potential emissions equate to 0.23% of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2030. The company argued the plant is 100% carbon neutral, thanks to the purchase of carbon offsets, such as forestry programs and projects that capture methane from landfills. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/New-York-officials-rule-against-bitcoin-mining-17277801.php | 2022-06-30T22:46:26Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/New-York-officials-rule-against-bitcoin-mining-17277801.php | true | 12 |
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A Brooklyn judge could overturn a murder conviction against a man accused of setting fire to an apartment that killed two people in 1994, after a confession made by a former NYPD detective has been called into question, according to the New York Daily News.
Brooklyn Justice Myriam Cyrulnik, on June 8, ordered a hearing to examine the “investigative methods and tactics” used by former NYPD Det. Louis Scarcella and his partner, Det. Steven Chmil, according to the report.
Public records indicate Scarcella lives in Great Kills.
Hector Lopez, in June 1994, was accused of setting fire to an apartment building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that killed two residents. Lopez confessed to starting the fire, authorities said at the time.
Lopez allegedly told Scarcella, “You guys got it right,” after about 12 hours in custody, the Daily News reported.
Lopez was convicted the following year and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. His appeals lawyers argue the discrepancies between the evidence and what Lopez supposedly said suggested Scarcella made up the confession, the News reported.
The hearing will determine whether the investigative tactics “constitute newly-discovered evidence that creates a reasonable probability the defendant would have received a verdict more favorable to him had the jury been aware of it at the time of trial,” Cyrulnik added.
Scarcella has been tied to 15 prior convictions made during the 80s and 90s, that have since been vacated. Scarcella has repeatedly denied any misconduct, but the city paid out more than $50 million to the wrongly convicted victims.
In 2013, Scarcella told the Advance/SILive.com that his successes as a police detective have made him a marked man in the eyes of the defense attorneys he’s locked horns with at trial.
A hearing will be held sometime in September. | https://www.silive.com/crime-safety/2022/06/confession-obtained-by-ex-staten-island-detective-called-into-question-over-1994-murder-conviction-report.html | 2022-06-30T22:47:54Z | https://www.silive.com/crime-safety/2022/06/confession-obtained-by-ex-staten-island-detective-called-into-question-over-1994-murder-conviction-report.html | false | 1 |
NATO to boost rapid reaction force, Ukraine military support
BRUSSELS — (AP) — NATO allies will decide at a summit this week to increase the strength of their rapid reaction force nearly eightfold to 300,000 troops as part of their response to an “era of strategic competition," the military alliance's secretary-general said Monday.
The NATO response force (NRF) currently numbers around 40,000 soldiers which can deploy quickly when needed.
Coupled with other measures including the deployment of forces to defend specific allies, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the move is part of the “biggest overhaul of collective defense and deterrence since the Cold War."
“These troops will exercise together with home defense forces,” Stoltenberg said. “And they will become familiar with local terrain, facilities, and our new pre-positioned stocks. So that they can respond smoothly and swiftly to any emergency."
In response to the Kremlin’s decision to start the war, U.S. President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts agreed in February to send thousands of troops, backed by air and naval support, to protect allies near Russia and Ukraine. The 30-nation organization decided at the time to send parts of the NRF and elements of a quickly deployable spearhead unit to the alliance’s eastern flank, marking the first time the force had been used in a defense role.
Stoltenberg made the remarks at a press conference ahead of a NATO summit this week in Madrid when the 30 allies are expected to also agree on further support to Ukraine in its war against Russia.
Stoltenberg said he expects allies to make clear they consider Russia “as the most significant and direct threat to our security." At the summit, allies will also decide to strengthen their battlegroups on NATO's eastern flanks, he said.
In NATO's new strategic concept, the alliance is also set to address for the first time the security challenges posed by China, Stoltenberg said. In Madrid, allies will discuss how to respond to the growing influence of Russia and China in their “southern neighborhood," he added.
Stoltenberg said allies will agree to deliver further military support to Ukraine when they convene in Spain, with NATO members set to adopt a “strengthened comprehensive assistance package,” including deliveries of secure communication and anti-drone systems.
Over the long term, Stoltenberg said allies aim to help Ukraine transition from Soviet-era armaments to modern NATO equipment. The world's seven leading economic powers underscored Monday their commitment to Ukraine for "as long as it takes."
Another central theme at the NATO summit will be the possibility for Finland and Sweden to join the alliance following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
NATO member Turkey has so far blocked the applications, citing what it considers to be the two countries’ soft approach to organizations Turkey considers to be terrorist, such as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK.
Stoltenberg said that Turkish president Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Finnish President Sauli Niinisto and the Swedish prime minister Magdalena Andersson have agreed to meet Tuesday on the sidelines of the summit.
Officials from the three countries have stepped up talks ahead of the NATO gathering in a bid to break the deadlock.
“My strong hope is that this dialogue can be successful and concluded in the near future, ideally before the summit," Andersson said after talks with Stoltenberg in Brussels.
Turkey is demanding that Sweden and Finland grant extradition requests for individuals who are wanted by Turkish authorities. Ankara claims the countries are harboring PKK members as well people it says are linked to a failed 2016 coup.
Turkey also wants assurances that arms restrictions imposed by the two countries over Turkey’s 2019 military incursion into northern Syria will be removed.
“I will not make any promises, but I can assure you that we are working actively to ensure progress because the application of Finland and Sweden to join NATO, they are historic,” Stoltenberg said.
Andersson said Sweden’s stance toward the PKK is “crystal clear” and that her country considers the organization as a terror group. She added that Sweden’s anti-terror legislation is undergoing its most comprehensive overhaul in 30 years.
“Moreover, constitutional amendments are being prepared, which would help pave the way for criminalization or participation in terrorist organizations,” she said.
NATO released new defense spending figures showing that U.S. allies in Europe as well as Canada have increased defense spending for an eighth consecutive year.
“By the end of the year, they will have invested well over 350 billion US dollars extra since we agreed our defense investment pledge in 2014," Stoltenberg said.
NATO countries slashed their military budgets in the 1990s following the end of the Cold War, but upped spending when Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014. In that year, NATO allies also pledged to reach a defense budget target of 2% of their gross domestic product by 2024.
“Nine allies now reach – or exceed – the 2% target. Nineteen allies have clear plans to reach it by 2024," Stoltenberg said. “Two percent is increasingly considered a floor, not a ceiling. We will also agree to invest more together in NATO."

Captain Smart has angrily landed heavily on Pastor Love on live TV over his former wife’s (Obaapa Christy) rape issue that got Ghanaians talking many years ago.
The angry Captain Smart without mincing words insulted Pastor Love for not being able to keep the rape incident of his estranged wife a secret but publicly disclosed the information to disgrace her.
According to the presenter, what Pastor Love did was uncalled for, useless and sensless. Mr Smart believes that he (Mr Love) could have dealt with the issue like a man to save the ex-wife from public shame.
Smart made these remarks amid heaping insults on Pastor Love while addressing the Joyce Blessing’s drinking video that made headlines across major news portals.
Watch the video below:
In the heat of the rape conversation about 2 years ago, one Manasseh claiming to be a prophet made a shocking allegation against Pastor Love, the ex-husband of Obaapa Christy.
According to the man who spoke on “The Seat” on Net2 TV, Obaapa Christy left her marriage with Pastor Love after he hired 4 men to rape her.
Prophet Manasseh revealed that Pastor Love had met a young lady from Italy and wanted to marry her but first he needed a divorce from Obaapa Christy (Christiana Love at the time)
So to get his wishes, he hired 4 macho men to rape his wife to bring disgrace and shame to her which later facilitated the divorce. | https://www.ghpage.com/captain-smart-brutally-insults-pastor-love-on-live-tv/240985/ | 2022-06-30T22:53:07Z | https://www.ghpage.com/captain-smart-brutally-insults-pastor-love-on-live-tv/240985/ | false | 1 |
Swiss chocolate maker Barry Callebaut paused operations at one of its massive factories because of a salmonella outbreak, the company confirmed Thursday. Photo by Barry Callebaut
June 30 (UPI) -- One of the world's largest chocolate producers is shutting down operations at one of its massive factories because of a salmonella outbreak, the company confirmed Thursday.
Swiss chocolate maker Barry Callebaut is pausing operations at its factory in the Belgian town of Wieze, the company said in a statement.
The company says it discovered the salmonella in lecithin, which is used in all of its chocolate products, leading to the decision to stop production.
"For Barry Callebaut food safety is paramount. Our robust food safety programs in place allowed us to quickly identify lecithin as the source of the contamination," reads the statement.
"Barry Callebaut informed the Belgian food authorities about the incident and has taken the precautionary measure to stop all chocolate production lines and to block all products manufactured since the time of testing. We are currently reaching out to all customers who may have received impacted products. The chocolate production in Wieze will remain suspended until further notice."
It's not clear yet if any of the affected products actually made into the hands or mouths of consumers.
"So far it's looking good, but the mapping is still work in progress," a company spokesperson told POLITICO.
The business-to-business chocolate producer said that, out of precaution, it is asking its customers to "block any shipped products."
Chocolate processors Neuhaus, The Belgian Chocolate Group, Guylian and Mondelez are shutting down their production lines either partially or fully after receiving potentially contaminated shipments, according to Belgian publication De Tijd.
Barry Callebaut traces the company's routes back 175 years and calls itself the world's leading manufacturer of chocolate and cocoa products. The company did $7.9 billion in sales during the last fiscal year. | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2022/06/30/switzerland-chocolate-maker-barry-callebaut-stops-production-salmonella-outbreak/9501656624450/ | 2022-06-30T22:58:13Z | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2022/06/30/switzerland-chocolate-maker-barry-callebaut-stops-production-salmonella-outbreak/9501656624450/ | false | 1 |
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — While David Hodson’s father served in the Army Air Corps during World War II on a bomber. In August 1968 David joined the Marines and would serve in two wars.
After 26 years, he retired from the Marine reserves as a Sgt. Major, the highest non-commissioned officer rank.
“Shortly after I graduated from high school, I went to boot camp, school, right straight to Vietnam,” Hodson said.
He was assigned to an artillery unit with the 1st Marine Division. His regiment would see combat. However, during one of those battles in Vietnam, his best buddy from boot camp, Arthur Horaga, was killed while standing next to David.
“I wanted revenge. I never got it, but I wanted it. I know where he is at today,” Hodson said.
Three Hodson brothers served in the Marines, and David returned to Vietnam for a second tour. He was told not to wear his uniform home in 1970 at the height of the anti-war movement.
He wore it anyways.
With Honor Air in 2018, David and fellow veterans visited the Vietnam memorial in Washington, DC, where he found Lance Corporal Horaga’s name.
“I looked up and started counting, 24 rows down. It was so high, I couldn’t even touch his name and I lost it. I finally got to pay my respects. Hold to a friend,” Hodson said.
The headline in December 1990, “Knox Marine reserves ship out for training, awaiting Mideast assignment,” caught everyone’s attention. First Sgt. Hodson assembled his 150 Marines from Company D, 4th Combat Engineers in Knoxville, and made a vow.
“I said if you will pray every single day for us. I said I will promise you we will go before our Lord every single day, and I know if we do that, we will come back home together.”
David Hodson
Keeping his word, Company D cut a chapel in the Iraqi sand, and unit preachers led the services.
“Even during the war we took 15 minutes out. We knew that was the time to ask God to protect us. He did. He sure did, he brought us back home,” Hodson said.
Back home, every member of Company D returned to East Tennessee in late spring 1991.
“It was ah, the greatest welcome I ever had. I’ll go to my grave thanking everybody for taking the time to come out and welcome me home that day,” Hodson said.
After several successful civilian careers, Hodson is now a court bailiff, he continues serving.
“I’ll die as a Marine, sir. I am proud to be a Marine.” | https://www.wate.com/news/veterans-voices/i-am-proud-to-be-a-marine-knoxville-veteran-recounts-time-in-vietnam-first-gulf-war/ | 2022-06-30T23:00:29Z | https://www.wate.com/news/veterans-voices/i-am-proud-to-be-a-marine-knoxville-veteran-recounts-time-in-vietnam-first-gulf-war/ | false | 1 |

Lindsay Lohan, 35 became America’s favorite child actor when she starred as the Parker twins in the iconic 1998 film, The Parent Trap. Then, she grew up in front of the world’s eyes as a teen sensation, starring in hit film after film such as 2003’s Freaky Friday, 2004’s Mean Girls, and 2006’s Just My Luck. And while Lindsay’s life in the spotlight seemed to be golden, it sadly was less than behind closed doors. As Lindsay was navigating her tremendous amount of fame at such a young age, she was also dealing with a broken family. Her parents, Michael Lohan and Dina Lohan admitted to abusing drugs in front of her as she grew up and also abusing each other.
However, it seems that they have since moved past their issues and are on decent terms, as Michael told Page Six in 2019 that Lindsay and her siblings beg him and Dina, who divorced in 2007, to get back together. “As late as my last birthday, my children and I went to dinner at Per Se in NY City only to have a ‘party crasher,’ Dina, show up,” Michael recalled in an email to the publication. “Unbeknownst to me, Lindsay set it up and when Dina walked in Lindsay said, ‘Happy “Parent Trap,” Daddy!’”
Unfortunately for Lindsay, her parents don’t appear to be on the road to redemption. Read on to learn about the actress’ parents and how their love lives have evolved following their divorce.
Michael Lohan
Michael Lohan, born in 1960, is best known for being Lindsay’s father, which may be why he needed some extra cash in 2021 and got caught in an illegal money-making scheme. He was arrested in April of that year in Florida for “patient laundering,” which meant he encouraged addicts to seek treatment at a specific rehab center, which would then pay him money on the side for helping bring in patients, per NBC News. “Mr. Lohan was investigated by our Sober Homes Task Force and he’s being charged with receiving kickbacks for referring patients to drug treatment,” State Attorney Dave Aronberg told NBC at the time. “Patient brokering corrupts our health care system because decisions are motivated by greed instead of a patient’s needs. This is our Task Force’s 117th arrest and will not be our last.”
If Michael was tight on money, Lindsay may not have even known, as they had quite the turbulent relationship before his arrest. In fact, she slammed her father for using her for attention in a 2016 interview. “My father is known for talking to the press and selling stories. He loves the attention. In the past he’s said I’ve done drugs, he put my number on the internet,” Lindsay told the Daily Mail. “Who does that? Some of the stuff he’s done proves to me he doesn’t care about me.”
Dina’s relationship with Michael was not always ideal, either. In fact, Dina has accused him of physical and sexual assault, drunk driving, and drug abuse, according to the New York Daily News. She also blamed him for Lindsay’s highly-publicized struggles with drugs and alcohol. “Lindsay saw her dad abuse me — that’s why she’s so screwed up,” she told the publication in 2013. She also claimed there’s picture proof of the alleged abuse by her ex-husband, which Lindsay saw when she was younger and apparently got quite upset about.
Lindsay previously supported some of these claims when she detailed the abuse she saw her mother endure at the hands of her father. “He’s put myself and my mother and my mom’s parents through so much Hell. From the death threats to throwing shoes at my grandfather’s head and giving him a concussion to threatening to kill my mother in front of my little brother Dakota,” she recalled to the Irish Examiner in 2010. “I grew up really fast just because of the situations I was subjected to because of my father. My mom would try to shield me from that as much as possible, but I chose to get in the middle of my parents my entire life.”
Dina Lohan
The relationship Lindsay had with her father growing up is heartbreaking to imagine, and sadly, she never had a completely smooth one with her mother, either. Born in 1962, Dina Lohan is the Herbie Fully Loaded actress’ mother and former manager. She also partied with her daughter, and one night, their fun girls’ night out turned into a nightmare when the duo got into a nasty fight, which resulted in Lindsay calling her father and accusing her mother of being on drugs. “She’s saying disgusting things to me,” the actress said in 2012 audio obtained by TMZ. “I’m dead to her now.” She also said Dina was high on cocaine and was the “devil.” However, Lindsay quickly denied her allegations against her mother. “I’m really regretful about the argument I had with my mother and it being made public,” she told TMZ after the incident (via E! News). “Mothers and daughters fight. You know, I called my father and told him some really hurtful and untruthful lies about my mom. My mom does not do cocaine, clearly. And that’s a fact.”
Lindsay and Dina seemed to be on good terms until 2016, when Lindsay posted — and then quickly deleted — an Instagram Story that said, “@dinalohan … Sometimes it sucks when your mom isn’t there for you,” per Page Six. Along with the message, she shared an image of a woman dropping a phone to the ground with the words, “We’re done.”
Moving On And Taking Responsibility
By 2018, Lindsay, Michael, and Dina all seemed to be on better terms, as Lindsay confirmed there was no bad blood between her and her parents when she appeared on The Wendy Williams Show. “I think that in life, parents have their things together and sometimes the children are immersed in it and you just have to really step back and let your parents do what they do and figure out everything for themselves,” the actress, who now lives in Dubai, said (via Daily Mail). “And we all have a great relationship now so it’s nice . . . it’s much simpler that way.”
One thing that may have helped is the fact that Dina and Michael both owned up to the fact that they are at least partially responsible for Lindsay’s issues, including her six stints in rehab. “You know, I think when she was little, she saw most of the abuse. And so Lindsay did witness a lot, and I absolutely think it takes its toll on children as well,” Dina told Dr. Phil during a 2017 interview on his show. “We were, I think…inevitably we are responsible for what Lindsay did, the path that Lindsay took,” Michael added. “Our divorce, because of our relationship, affected Lindsay to the point where she drowned her sorrows and numbed her pain. And it breaks my heart to think that.” He then teared up thinking about how far Lindsay has come.
Lindsay, who announced her plan to return to acting in 2019, has a seemingly busy filming schedule, including 2022’s Falling for Christmas and 2022’s Lovestruck High. She is also engaged to Bader Shammas, who popped the question in Nov. 2021. It looks like things are finally falling into place for Lindsay! | https://hollywoodlife.com/feature/lindsay-lohan-parents-4779743/ | 2022-06-30T23:07:36Z | https://hollywoodlife.com/feature/lindsay-lohan-parents-4779743/ | false | 1 |

Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended "fraud alert" on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer's credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer's credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer's identity before extending new credit. If you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any one of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.
As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a "credit freeze" on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer's express authorization.

Withdraws from its CFPB approval order to facilitate change
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Payactiv, Inc., a certified B Corp and the leader in Earned Wage Access (EWA), announced the elimination of EWA access fees, making several of Payactiv's delivery options, including ACH, completely free.
Payactiv had previously waived its fees in 2020 during the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and now, by eliminating access fees entirely, the company is creating another watershed moment and making EWA even more accessible for the millions of working Americans in need of relief in the current economic climate.
"Timely access to earned wages is the safest way for millions of American workers to meet livelihood needs without fees and penalties from other liquidity options. With additional zero cost EWA options, the bar has been raised again for the emerging EWA industry." said co-founder and CEO Safwan Shah. "To rapidly offer these additional zero-cost options, we opted to withdraw from the company-specific 2020 CFPB Approval Order," added Shah.
While the withdrawal does not impact Payactiv's offerings, it allows the company to eliminate access fees without delay. Payactiv has worked cooperatively with the CFPB over the last several years, including by addressing the CFPB's feedback in early 2021 to state that it "has an Approval Order from CFPB" in lieu of describing itself as "CFPB-Approved." Payactiv appreciates the opportunity to have worked with the CFPB on the Approval Order, and looks forward to further efforts to advance the industry.
Payactiv is the creator of EWA and a leading provider in the industry today. By announcing yet another avenue for free access to its EWA, Payactiv continues to disrupt the industry it created, establishing a new level of service for those who rely on Earned Wage Access to navigate their financial lives. In addition to EWA, it offers gas and prescription discounts, savings options, and powerful budgeting tools. Consumers will also continue to have access to optional expedited delivery methods for a voluntary fee when needed.
Payactiv will make the improved fee structure available to all new and existing clients in the third quarter of 2022 and expects most employers to transition to the new model within 2022.
Payactiv, a Public Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp, provides workers on-demand access to earned but unpaid wages. This approach eliminates the expense of payday loans, bank overdrafts, and late fees workers would otherwise resort to for liquidity. The company's holistic financial-wellness platform offers a suite of financial services that includes savings and budgeting tools, bill payment, and financial-health measurement. Payactiv is the winner of the American Business Awards Company of the Year for Financial Services award, the Innovative Payments Association's Consumer Champion award, a Finovate winner and finalist, and the recipient of numerous best-in-class awards in both FinTech & HRTech.

In 2008 I married for the second time and had both of my sons as best men. The owner of the venue where our wedding reception was held gave me an early wedding gift, two tickets to see Barenaked Ladies at Seneca Niagara Casino on Sept. 26, 2008 — the only question that remained was which one of my sons would get the second ticket. We decided that the kid who gave the best speech would be the recipient.
Eventually, after some incredibly spirited speeches, the matter was decided. Little did we know that concert marked a milestone for the Canadian band. It was the last time they performed in Western New York with founding member Steven Page.
Fast forward to 2022, and Barenaked Ladies will be back at Artpark on Tuesday July 5 for a stop on their “Last Summer on Earth” tour, which also features Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket. The performance is already sold out. The show was postponed twice, once in 2020 and again in 2021, so excitement has been building.
This will be BNL’s third time at Artpark, they headlined sold out shows in 2016 and 2018, so this marks an impressive feat for the band, especially considering the crossroads they faced in 2009, with the loss of prominent member of the band.
What made the BNL situation unique, is the group’s handling of the situation. Usually when a bandmember quits or passes away, a band will replace them with a soundalike, a session player, or simply split up. In 2009 BNL took a gamble, and when Page left, they simply chose to not replace him and instead have other band members fill in the void.
That left Ed Robertson as the de facto leader of the group, and bassist Jim Creeggan, multi-instrumentalist Kevin Hearn and drummer Tyler Stewart to carry on.
The Robertson, Page stage banter and dynamic was a central part of the band’s live show, but 13 years later, the band is thriving with a new album entitled “Detour De Force,” and a massively successful tour that includes a multitude of sold-out dates.
Even though Page-era songs still appear in the group’s live set, they represent a smaller portion of the show than songs from their latest album. In an era when bands get stuck in the past with set lists, BNL embraces adding newer songs to their shows.
So, while the band acknowledges its past by including "If I Had $1,000,000" and "The Big Bang Theory" theme song, fans can expect to hear newer cuts like “Flip” and “New Disaster.”
Throughout their career, BNL has built a reputation as a band that thrives in a live setting. They built that foundation with great songs, but they also make each show unique and always add a local element to their performance. It goes beyond simple stage banter or gimmicks, the group knows how to connect with an audience unlike any other band, and while Page’s departure is old news, it is amazing to consider how the group not only survived the departure, they have thrived.

TORONTO - Sprinter Andre De Grasse, decathlete Damian Warner and shot putter Sarah Mitton headline Canada's 54-member team heading to the world track and field championships in Eugene, Ore.
Mitton is coming off a spectacular week that saw her launch a Canadian-record throw of 20.33 metres on Saturday at the national championships in Langley, B.C. and then claim silver in a Diamond League event in Stockholm on Thursday with a throw of 19.90 metres.
“I’m trying not to think about the competition differently,” said Mitton. “But it’s changed my perception of what I can do. My goal at the start of the year was making the top 12, but 20 metres, on any given day, is a podium spot.
"The confidence is high but I still have to make it through the qualifying rounds, so the first goal is to put in one good throw in the first three, and reassessing from there.”
De Grasse, a six-time Olympic medallist, and Warner, the reigning Olympic decathlon champion, were both late scratches from last week's Canadian championship.
Warner pulled out with a sore knee, while De Grasse tested positive for COVID-19.
Both are expected to be healthy for the world championships, which will be held July 15-24 at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field.
“With the world championships as our benchmark event, we’re expecting the athletes to perform at their very best and this is our strongest team,” said Canada head coach Glenroy Gilbert. “We have had some great performances at National Championships last week in a variety of events. We were also missing some athletes who will be at Worlds, so we are anticipating some great results overall in Eugene.”
Before getting sick, De Grasse had been rounding into form after an early-season foot injury, winning the 100 metres at the Oslo Diamond League meet June 16 in a season's best 10.05 seconds.
De Grasse will race in the 100 metre, 200 metre and 4x100 relay in Eugene. He medalled in all three events, including gold in the 200, at the Tokyo Olympics and became Canada's most decorated male Summer Olympian with six career podium finishes.
Fellow sprinter Aaron Brown, the newly minted 2022 Canadian champion in the 100 and 200, is looking forward to racing in his fifth world Championship
“This world championship is special because it’s in North America for the first time,” said Brown, a two-time Olympic medallist with Canada's 4x100 relay team. “Hayward is always a special place to run and I’m hoping this opportunity to grow the sport in this side of the world is seized.”
Mohammed Ahmed, a silver medallist in the 5,000 metres in Tokyo, will race in both the 5,000 and 10,000 in Eugene, while Evan Dunfee, who claimed bronze at the 2020 Olympics, will compete in the 50 kilometre race walk. Both men won bronze medals at the 2019 world championships in Doha, Qatar.

SEATTLE (AP) — A cruise ship that struck an iceberg in Alaska has docked in Seattle for repairs.
The Norwegian Sun arrived in Seattle Thursday. It hit part of an iceberg on Saturday near Hubbard Glacier in Alaska.
The ship was turned around to Juneau, where it under went inspection. It was cleared to travel at lower speeds to Seattle by authorities.
A Nevada family who was onboard says the impact sounded like a loud door being slammed.
Benjamin Talbott was hanging out with family when his brother, Anthony Romo, noticed something in the water and told him to take out his phone. Talbott recorded as the cruise ship struck the big chunk of iceberg.
“Then all sudden, boom, the whole ship shakes. And I’m like, ‘Well, what’s going on?’ And then I had to start recording and I looked at the front of the ship and all I see is this an iceberg just turning over and coming down. And I was like, Oh my God, we hit an iceberg,” he said. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Cruise-ship-that-hit-iceberg-arrives-in-Seattle-17277899.php | 2022-06-30T23:21:56Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Cruise-ship-that-hit-iceberg-arrives-in-Seattle-17277899.php | true | 12 |
DETROIT (AP) — A northern Michigan man was arrested Thursday and charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, prosecutors said.
Luke Michael Lints, 27, of Traverse City was charged in a criminal complaint filed in the District of Columbia with civil disorder, a felony, and related misdemeanor offenses, prosecutors said.
Lints was among rioters who repeatedly engaged in violence against law enforcement officers guarding the Capitol, court documents said. He confronted officers in the Lower West Terrace and tunnel areas of the Capitol and entered the tunnel there, making his way towards the front of the police line.
Lints held a police shield and pushed back against officers, at one point using a police shield to prevent an officer from closing a door to protect himself from the rioters, documents said. Lints also was part of a crowd directly outside the tunnel as a Metropolitan Police Department officer was assaulted by rioters.
It wasn't clear whether Lints has an attorney who might comment on his behalf.
His arrest follows that of Ryan Kelley, a Republican candidate for Michigan governor and ardent defender of former President Donald Trump, on misdemeanor charges June 10 for his role in the riot. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Northern-Michigan-man-charged-for-role-in-Capitol-17277877.php | 2022-06-30T23:22:20Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/Northern-Michigan-man-charged-for-role-in-Capitol-17277877.php | true | 16 |
Capitol Police arrest 181 abortion rights protesters outside Senate office building
The U.S. Capitol Police on Thursday arrested 181 abortion rights demonstrators who protested outside of a Senate office building less than a week after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
In a Twitter thread on Thursday, Capitol Police sent out a travel advisory, warning that activists were blocking the intersection of First Street and Constitution Avenue. Authorities said they gave activists a second and third warning before arrests began.
“We arrested 181 people for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307) for blocking the intersection of Constitution Avenue, NE and First Street, NE,” the department said in a tweet on Thursday. “The intersection reopened at approximately 1:20 p.m.”
Protests have been held around the country since Friday, when the high court struck down the constitutional right to an abortion, which had been established by Roe nearly 50 years ago.
The eventual ruling led multiple states to implement their own abortion bans and restrictions, while some other states already had “trigger laws” that took effect when Roe was overturned.
Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) was also among the 181 protesters arrested by authorities on Thursday.
“When I first heard Roe was overturned, I immediately thought of who would be most harmed by this decision: a young girl who is a survivor of rape, a woman who cannot afford to travel to another state to access critical care, an expecting mother with an ectopic pregnancy whose life is in danger because she cannot have an abortion,” Chu said in a statement to The Hill.
“So, when I think of all these women — and more — the decision to join in a peaceful demonstration to make clear we will not allow the clock to be rolled back on abortion rights was easy. We are in this together and we will not back down or be silenced. I am ramping up my calls to abolish the Senate filibuster — and actively exploring every option to ensure we pass my bill, the Women’s Health Protection Act, which establishes a federal right to abortion care, and have it signed into law. Lives are at stake and this fight is far from over.”
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation.

Muslim Rohingya exiles under pressure in Hindu-majority Indian
Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar along with their luggage gather outside a Mosque in Jammu, the winter capital of Kashmir, India, 07 March 2021. Photo: EPA
Whether it was the destruction of their Jahangirpuri encampment in Delhi or the moves to oust them from Srinagar in Kashmir, exiled Muslim Rohingya are feeling the heat in India as the pressure builds on what many claim is the world’s most maligned exile community.
Naturally, the main focus of the Rohingya crisis tends to be on the over 700,000 refugees who fled “genocidal” violence in 2017 in Rakhine State, joining earlier arrivals in camps in Bangladesh.
But India is also host to a sizeable community of 40,000, out of which at least 20,000 are registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Their presence in India has proved problematic.
Newsclick in a story entitled 'Rohingyas in National Capital between Devil and Deep Blue Sea', the illegal aliens are facing discrimination and charges, with claims that this relatively small exile community is a “threat to the nation”. According to a press release issued by the Human Rights Watch on 31 March, the Rohingya in India face “tightened restrictions, arbitrary detention, violent attacks often incited by political leaders, and a heightened risk of forced returns.”
Take the situation in India’s crowded capital, Delhi. A battle between Indian political parties has broken out in Jahangirpuri migrant encampment on the outskirts of the city.
Demolition of tents was carried out at Kalindi Kunj by South Delhi Municipal Corporation on 12 May 2022, and the Rohingya refugees were reported to be worried.
Their anxieties arose from the recent announcements by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) functionaries that public land in Delhi was illegally occupied by Rohingya and Bangladeshis. The BJP has been alleging that the ruling Aam Aadmi Party is helping illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants settle in the city.
The debate over the Rohingya, who are now present in many places in India, having crossed the border to escape persecution in Myanmar, is now a BJP-AAP battle.
Similarly, in the Kashmir capital of Srinagar, panic gripped the displaced Rohingya refugees on 6 March 2022, a day after the Jammu ' Kashmir administration rounded up over 150 immigrants as part of “a verification process”. Only the Rohingya Muslims were picked up. They reportedly claim there are not ready to leave India to be repatriated since their country Myanmar is not yet safe for them to return to.
The Telegraph of India reports the Jammu and Kashmir police detained over two dozen Rohingya refugees, who were part of a Tablighi Jamaat group (the Tablighi mission to Ramban who were scheduled to spend the holy month of Ramadan there in prayers), They were detained in Kathua jail, triggering panic in the community and region amid reports that the Indian government had deported a refugee from Jammu to Myanmar. Police sources said 25 Rohingya were picked up from two mosques in Ramban’s Sangaldan area on 30 March and later sent to a “holding centre” inside the jail at Hiranagar in Jammu’s Kathua district.
Thousands of Rohingya refugees have been staying in Jammu for several years to avoid persecution in their homeland in Myanmar. However, they have been facing a campaign by Indian Right-wing groups calling for their ouster. The police have not officially cited any reason for the detention of the Rohingya. However, community members are often accused of staying illegally in India.
Northeast India has also seen problems.
Police in Assam’s Cachar district recently detained 26 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar on 29 May for allegedly travelling without valid papers. Cachar SP Ramandeep Kaur told The Telegraph that those detained had travelled from Jammu to Guwahati in Assam by train and from there to Silchar in three vehicles. The detained included 12 children.
There has also been news of Tripura Police arresting 24 suspected Rohingya migrants from Kailashahar in the Unakoti district, Tripura on 2 May. Speaking to reporters in Agartala, Kailashahar sub-divisional police officer Chandan Das said they were arrested while trying to enter Kailashahar town. Primary interrogation revealed that they were issued refugee cards by the UNHCR.
According to the Hindustan Times, 26 Rohingya were recently arrested in Assam under the Foreigner’s Act and were sent to a detention centre.
The roots of the Rohingya crisis can be traced back to British Colonial times and the actions of players in pre-independence and post-independence Burma and India.
At its core, the conflict arises chiefly from the religious and social differences between the Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims. During World War II in Burma, Rohingya Muslims, who were allied with the British and promised a Muslim state in return, fought against local Rakhine Buddhists, who were allied with the Japanese. Following Burma's independence in 1948, the newly formed union government of the predominantly Buddhist country denied citizenship to the Rohingya, subjecting them to extensive systematic discrimination in the country. This has widely been compared to apartheid by many international academics, analysts, and political figures, including the late Desmond Tutu, a famous South African anti-apartheid activist.
In the 1970s, Rohingya separatist movements emerged from remnants of the local mujahideen, and the fighting culminated with the Burmese government launching a massive military operation named Operation Dragon King in 1978 to expel so-called 'foreigners'. In the 1990s, the well-armed Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) was the main perpetrator of attacks on Burmese authorities near the Bangladesh–Myanmar border. The Burmese government responded militarily with Operation Clean and Beautiful Nation but failed to disarm the RSO.
In October 2016, Burmese border posts along the Bangladesh–Myanmar border were attacked by a new Rohingya insurgent group resulting in the deaths of at least 40 combatants. It was the first major resurgence of the conflict since 2001. Violence erupted again in November 2016, bringing the 2016 death toll to 134, and again on 25 August 2017, when the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) launched coordinated attacks on 24 police posts and an army base that left 71 dead.
This sparked a massive Myanmar military crackdown, described by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in a report on 11 October 2017 detailing the Burmese military's 'systematic process' of driving hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas from Myanmar 'through repeated acts of humiliation and violence'.
Well over a million Rohingya now live in camps in Bangladesh, waiting to go home.
For the Rohingya residing in India, the situation does not look good.
In India, Narendra Modi’s government issued its plan to deport over 40,000 Rohingya refugees, including at least 16,000, possibly 20,000, who have been registered with the UNHCR.
When an appeal was filed on behalf of two of the refugees to the Supreme Court of India opposing the deportation, the Home Ministry filed an affidavit listing reasons why the Rohingya refugees should be deported. One of the reasons given is that the Rohingya pose a “threat to national security” due to their supposed ties with Islamic extremist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Daesh or ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
India’s current politics, with Hindu nationalism ascendant, does not bode well for the Rohingya, a refugee community that is one of the most badly treated in the world.
Muslim Rohingya exiles under pressure in Hindu-majority India
Whether it was the destruction of their Jahangirpuri encampment in Delhi or the moves to oust them from Srinagar in Kashmir, exiled Muslim Rohingya are feeling the heat in India as the pressure builds on what many claim is the world’s most maligned exile community.

Whether it was the destruction of their Jahangirpuri encampment in Delhi or the moves to oust them from Srinagar in Kashmir, exiled Muslim Rohingya are feeling the heat in India as the pressure builds on what many claim is the world’s most maligned exile community.
Naturally, the main focus of the Rohingya crisis tends to be on the over 700,000 refugees who fled “genocidal” violence in 2017 in Rakhine State, joining earlier arrivals in camps in Bangladesh.
But India is also host to a sizeable community of 40,000, out of which at least 20,000 are registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Their presence in India has proved problematic.
Newsclick in a story entitled 'Rohingyas in National Capital between Devil and Deep Blue Sea', the illegal aliens are facing discrimination and charges, with claims that this relatively small exile community is a “threat to the nation”. According to a press release issued by the Human Rights Watch on 31 March, the Rohingya in India face “tightened restrictions, arbitrary detention, violent attacks often incited by political leaders, and a heightened risk of forced returns.”
Take the situation in India’s crowded capital, Delhi. A battle between Indian political parties has broken out in Jahangirpuri migrant encampment on the outskirts of the city.
Demolition of tents was carried out at Kalindi Kunj by South Delhi Municipal Corporation on 12 May 2022, and the Rohingya refugees were reported to be worried.
Their anxieties arose from the recent announcements by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) functionaries that public land in Delhi was illegally occupied by Rohingya and Bangladeshis. The BJP has been alleging that the ruling Aam Aadmi Party is helping illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants settle in the city.
The debate over the Rohingya, who are now present in many places in India, having crossed the border to escape persecution in Myanmar, is now a BJP-AAP battle.
Similarly, in the Kashmir capital of Srinagar, panic gripped the displaced Rohingya refugees on 6 March 2022, a day after the Jammu ' Kashmir administration rounded up over 150 immigrants as part of “a verification process”. Only the Rohingya Muslims were picked up. They reportedly claim there are not ready to leave India to be repatriated since their country Myanmar is not yet safe for them to return to.
The Telegraph of India reports the Jammu and Kashmir police detained over two dozen Rohingya refugees, who were part of a Tablighi Jamaat group (the Tablighi mission to Ramban who were scheduled to spend the holy month of Ramadan there in prayers), They were detained in Kathua jail, triggering panic in the community and region amid reports that the Indian government had deported a refugee from Jammu to Myanmar. Police sources said 25 Rohingya were picked up from two mosques in Ramban’s Sangaldan area on 30 March and later sent to a “holding centre” inside the jail at Hiranagar in Jammu’s Kathua district.
Thousands of Rohingya refugees have been staying in Jammu for several years to avoid persecution in their homeland in Myanmar. However, they have been facing a campaign by Indian Right-wing groups calling for their ouster. The police have not officially cited any reason for the detention of the Rohingya. However, community members are often accused of staying illegally in India.
Northeast India has also seen problems.
Police in Assam’s Cachar district recently detained 26 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar on 29 May for allegedly travelling without valid papers. Cachar SP Ramandeep Kaur told The Telegraph that those detained had travelled from Jammu to Guwahati in Assam by train and from there to Silchar in three vehicles. The detained included 12 children.
There has also been news of Tripura Police arresting 24 suspected Rohingya migrants from Kailashahar in the Unakoti district, Tripura on 2 May. Speaking to reporters in Agartala, Kailashahar sub-divisional police officer Chandan Das said they were arrested while trying to enter Kailashahar town. Primary interrogation revealed that they were issued refugee cards by the UNHCR.
According to the Hindustan Times, 26 Rohingya were recently arrested in Assam under the Foreigner’s Act and were sent to a detention centre.
The roots of the Rohingya crisis can be traced back to British Colonial times and the actions of players in pre-independence and post-independence Burma and India.
At its core, the conflict arises chiefly from the religious and social differences between the Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims. During World War II in Burma, Rohingya Muslims, who were allied with the British and promised a Muslim state in return, fought against local Rakhine Buddhists, who were allied with the Japanese. Following Burma's independence in 1948, the newly formed union government of the predominantly Buddhist country denied citizenship to the Rohingya, subjecting them to extensive systematic discrimination in the country. This has widely been compared to apartheid by many international academics, analysts, and political figures, including the late Desmond Tutu, a famous South African anti-apartheid activist.
In the 1970s, Rohingya separatist movements emerged from remnants of the local mujahideen, and the fighting culminated with the Burmese government launching a massive military operation named Operation Dragon King in 1978 to expel so-called 'foreigners'. In the 1990s, the well-armed Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) was the main perpetrator of attacks on Burmese authorities near the Bangladesh–Myanmar border. The Burmese government responded militarily with Operation Clean and Beautiful Nation but failed to disarm the RSO.
In October 2016, Burmese border posts along the Bangladesh–Myanmar border were attacked by a new Rohingya insurgent group resulting in the deaths of at least 40 combatants. It was the first major resurgence of the conflict since 2001. Violence erupted again in November 2016, bringing the 2016 death toll to 134, and again on 25 August 2017, when the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) launched coordinated attacks on 24 police posts and an army base that left 71 dead.

As Thursday draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments of the day:
Ukraine won back control over Snake Island, which Russia occupied in February. Ukrainian officials said Russian troops evacuated after Ukraine's overnight bombardment. Russia said it left the island as a "goodwill gesture" for Ukraine's grain exports. The strategic outpost in the Black Sea is where Ukrainian soldiers famously refused to surrender to the Russian warship Moskva.
President Biden said the U.S. would provide $800 million more in security assistance for Ukraine. Speaking at the close of a NATO summit, Biden said the war "will not end with Russia defeating Ukraine" and that allies would support Ukraine "as long as it takes." Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier said his country had no "problem" with Finland and Sweden joining NATO but would have to respond if the alliance built up a military presence along its northern borders.
Amnesty International said the Mariupol theater bombing was a clear war crime. A new report by the human rights organization concluded that the attack "was almost certainly carried out by Russian fighter aircraft." Hundreds of civilians sheltered in the building during the March siege of the southern port city that Russian troops now occupy.
The European Court of Human Rights told Russia to ensure two British captives don't get the death penalty. In early June, a court in a Russian-backed separatist part of Ukraine sentenced Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin to death. Russia's government, which pulled out of the European rights jurisdiction after invading Ukraine, said it no longer complies with the European court's orders.
Ukraine said it broke ties with Syria for recognizing the independence of eastern Ukraine's Luhansk and Donetsk regions at Russia's request. Ukraine's foreign ministry said in recent years it had already ordered the closure of its and Syria's embassies over crimes of the Syrian regime, which is friendly with the Kremlin. Kyiv said it will now also impose a trade embargo and other sanctions against Syria.

Everyone can snack on cotton candy, ice cream, and slushies; events unless otherwise noted are free with paid museum admission.

The country's new health agency will focus on staffing, chair Rob Campbell says, and changes to planned healthcare could be expected reasonably rapidly.
Health NZ Te Whatu Ora has replaced the country's 20 district health boards, though today is the start of a process likely to take several years.
DHB organisations continue to effectively exist behind the scenes until September to help ease the transition, but the elected boards do not.

Advertise with NZME.Health NZ - Te Whatu Ora chair Rob Campbell said changes will take time, but planned care, such as scheduled surgery, was one area where people could expect results fairly quickly.
"People will be able to see changes in some areas, some services ... within weeks or months.
"The work going on at the moment will improve the planned care part of the system reasonably rapidly."
Healthcare workers want the staffing crisis to be a top priority, and Campbell said staffing was a priority for the new organisation.
"That is not just the numbers, it's the way the staff are organised, it's the way the staff are rewarded and valued, it's the way the staff are involved in making decisions about how their area of work is done.
"Restoring confidence of staff is not going to happen in a week or a month, it will take time. We have to make the practical steps that people can see are going to make a difference."
The executive would be starting to make changes from next week, each one of them small but that would make a difference over time, he said.
Increasing staffing levels could not happen immediately, he said. "I can't invent doctors or nurses out of fresh air, no one can." Campbell said obstacles to health staff performing well-included pay rates.

Advertise with NZME.At the heart of the philosophy behind DHBs was the idea that communities would make decisions about their own healthcare through a board made up in part of people elected by locals.
But having each one doing its own thing has created disparities.
Auckland GP Jodie O'Sullivan has seen first-hand what is described as the postcode lottery of care, with different treatments and outcomes depending on where you live.
"I have patients that are over three different DHBs, each DHB has different rules, different ways of accessing care, it's just an administration nightmare alone."
Cancer Society medical director George Laking hoped over time the new body would create the same level of care for people no matter who they are or where they lived.
"If you live rurally, if you're less well off financially, and of course if you're Pacific or Māori you have a disadvantage in terms of access to services that have been intended to be universally available."

Advertise with NZME.Disparities in treatment had not come about by chance, Campbell said.
"It's been there a long time, we've known it was there for a long time, it will only change if we take deliberate steps to change it."
"These things are not chance - but they're capable of being changed."
Most of the old DHB chief executives keep their jobs in the new system and are known instead as district leads. Health bosses say that will help keep the local voice, along with so-called locality groups set up to cover places with unique character or health needs.
Gastroenterologist Richard Stein, who was on the Hutt Valley DHB, worries the local voice will be lost in a giant central bureaucracy, and wants a direct, formal voice for health consumers.
"How are you sure that your concerns are going to be relayed to the people governing the system? I don't know those answers."

Māori health workers have called the launch of the dedicated authority one of the biggest steps towards equity, but have also warned its success was far from guaranteed.

The NSW rail union says there is a “long way to go” in its fight with the state government as it calls for a signed legal document confirming that its safety demands will be met over a new Korean-made Intercity fleet.
The RTBU is locked in a long-running stoush with the government over the controversial fleet, arguing the Perrottet administration has refused to sign a deal with the union that locks in fixes to safety issues raised by drivers.
As part of the fight, the union is taking industrial action on Friday, taking out 70 per cent of Sydney’s rail capacity, causing major delays for commuters.
“It’s going to be a very messy day. It’ll be a weekend timetable with other trains taken out of it, the Rail, Tram and Bus Union state secretary, Alex Claassens, said.
Interviewed on ABC television on Friday morning, Claassens said concrete action was needed from the government before the union moved on its industrial campaign.
While the government has signalled it could be prepared to spend $264 million to modify the fleet, the union is accusing it of stonewalling on signing a written deal.
Claasens said union action was “going to continue to escalate until such time as we have got a signed deed in our hand”.
“We can then go back to the negotiating table to do our conditions and our wages which we haven’t even talked about yet,” Claasens told ABC television.
“(We) have had no conversations about those wages at all ...There is a long way to go yet.”
The union argues that a written document is needed after previous government offers on the fleet were followed by backflips due to internal politics.
During a meeting with the government on Thursday, elements of the modification offer were taken off the table, concerning union members that another government backtrack loomed, the union has said.
“My members will not listen to the ‘trust me’ moment anymore, we need to see a document,” Claasens said.
Protected industrial action on Friday has drivers refusing to operate foreign or privately made trains, meaning 30 per cent of Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink services will operate on a weekend timetable.
Sydney commuters have been advised to expect significant train delays and cancellations.
The NSW transport minister, David Elliott, has been contacted for comment.
Elliott said on Thursday the government had offered railway workers $3,000 bonuses to return to work, which the union has described as “bribes”.
The industrial action comes after earlier strikes this week by nurses and teachers in NSW. | https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/01/long-way-to-go-in-sydney-rail-fight-as-train-delays-disrupt-commuters | 2022-06-30T23:39:43Z | https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/jul/01/long-way-to-go-in-sydney-rail-fight-as-train-delays-disrupt-commuters | true | 1 |
Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in on Thursday as a U.S. Supreme Court justice, making history as the first Black woman on the nation's top judicial body while joining it at a time when its conservative majority has been flexing its muscles in major rulings.
Jackson, 51, joins the liberal bloc of a court with a 6-3 conservative majority. Her swearing in as President Joe Biden's replacement for retiring liberal Justice Stephen Breyer came six days after the court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade landmark that legalized abortion nationwide. Breyer, at 83 the court's oldest member, officially retired on Thursday.
"On behalf of all the members of the court, I am pleased to welcome Justice Jackson to the court and to our common calling," Chief Justice John Roberts said at the ceremony.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll this week found that a majority of Americans - 57% - holds a negative view of the court following the abortion ruling, a significant shift from earlier in the month when a narrow majority held a positive view.
Jackson is the 116th justice, sixth woman and third Black person to serve on the Supreme Court since its 1789 founding.
Biden appointed Jackson last year to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit after she spent eight years as a federal district judge. Like the three conservative justices appointed by the Democratic president's Republican predecessor Donald Trump, Jackson is young enough to serve for decades in the lifetime job.
The Senate confirmed Jackson on a 53-47 vote on April 7, with three Republicans joining the Democrats in support of her. Jackson's appointment does not shift the court's ideological balance.
"It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States," Jackson said at an April 8 event celebrating her confirmation. "But we've made it - we've made it - all of us, all of us."
Biden has aimed to bring more women and minorities and a wider range of backgrounds to the federal judiciary. Jackson's appointment fulfilled a pledge Biden made during the 2020 presidential campaign to name a Black woman to the Supreme Court. With Jackson's addition, the Supreme Court for the first time has four women on the bench.
Breyer in January announced his plans to retire, having served since being appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1994. Jackson served as a clerk for Breyer early in her legal career.
The court issued its final two rulings of its current term on Thursday. Jackson joins a liberal bloc that has found itself outvoted in major rulings this term, not only on abortion rights but on gun rights, expanding religious liberties and other matters.
Jackson will participate in arguments in cases for the first time when the court's next term opens in October. One major case for the coming term gives the conservative justices an opportunity to end affirmative action policies used by colleges and universities in their admissions processes to increase their enrollment of Black and Hispanic students to achieve campus diversity.

MOUNTAIN VIEW — As California continues to deal with a worsening drought after three long years of dry conditions, Mountain View has become the latest city to approve new water restrictions for residents.
At its Tuesday meeting, the Mountain View city council declared a water shortage emergency to restrict the wasting of water by residents and assigned specific irrigation days based on street address.
Mountain View’s latest measures to curb water wasters come a month after Santa Clara County announced residents could face fines of up to $500 — and in extreme cases, $10,000 — for wasting water under new drought rules which are among the toughest of any urban area in California.
Citing the worsening drought, dwindling local water supplies and residents’ failure to hit conservation targets, the board of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, a government agency based in San Jose that serves as the wholesale water provider to 2 million residents, voted unanimously to set up an enforcement program to warn, and then fine, property owners who are violating outdoor watering rules.
Under a water shortage emergency, Mountain View residents will now also face local oversight on their water use and are only allowed to water their lawns during a two-day irrigation schedule. Even-numbered addresses will be allowed to water lawns and irrigate on Tuesdays and Fridays, and odd addresses Mondays and Thursdays. No outdoor watering is allowed at all on Wednesday, except with a garden hose with a shut-off valve.
Mountain View is also prohibiting washing paved or hard surfaces, except by bucket or for health and safety, at-home vehicle washing or filling decorative water features. Hotels also must now offer guests the option to reuse sheets and towels and the time allowed to repair leaks is five days.
Mountain View’s restrictions are among the toughest in the Bay Area. San Francisco also declared a level 2 water shortage on May 24, and Valley Water adopted a two-day irrigation limit on April 12th.
According to a city report, Mountain View receives about 84% of its total water supply from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, 10% from Valley water, 4% from the Regional Water Quality Control Plant in Palo Alto and 2% from local groundwater wells.
But those water sources are drying up. This year’s April snowpack finished off at just 38% of normal, and system storage is below normal for the city’s main water distributors.
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission — which is the main water provider for 2.7 million residents and businesses in the Bay Area — moved on May 24 to further reduce systemwide water use to align with calls from Governor Gavin Newsom and the State Quality Control board. The commission is calling for an 11% systemwide use reduction, according to a press release.
“It’s critical that all of our customers reduce outdoor water use this summer,” SFPUC General Manager Dennis Herrera said. “Even though our customers are among the lowest water users in the state, we are in year three of a drought, and no one knows how long it will last. We must all take action to continue to ensure that we have sufficient water supplies.” | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/06/30/mountain-view-latest-bay-area-city-to-restrict-water-use-as-drought-intensifies/ | 2022-06-30T23:49:12Z | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/06/30/mountain-view-latest-bay-area-city-to-restrict-water-use-as-drought-intensifies/ | true | 2 |

Taco shop with big growth plans is readying for Charlotte debut
CHARLOTTE — Capital Tacos will crack into the Charlotte market later this year with a virtual restaurant.
The Tampa Bay, Florida-based taco shop has signed a deal for space at CloudKitchens at 500 W. Summit Ave. in South End. The restaurant — reliant on takeout and delivery — expects to begin dishing up its Tex-Mex fare in the fourth quarter, says Josh Luger, co-founder.
“It’s really about planting a flag,” he says. “It allows us to say with certainty we’re coming to the market.”
That’s just the first piece of the brand’s plans for the Charlotte market.

Another behemoth conference realignment story has rocked college sports' offseason. USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 in favor of the Big Ten in 2024. The move is seismic in nature, but no one is feeling the tremors more than Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff, who -- cruelly enough -- is hitting the one-year mark on his tenure.
Now, he has the unenviable task of attempting to save the Pac-12 from total annihilation.
Will he succeed? If he does, it would be one of the most stunning turnarounds in the administrative history of college athletics. Oregon and Utah are now the Pac-12's two most prominent college football programs. Sure, Arizona State, Stanford and the rest of the conference can boast plenty of power in other sports. Football drives the bus, however, and Washington is the only other football team in the conference that draws even minor national attention.
Sources told CBS Sports that the remaining Pac-12 presidents and athletic directors will meet Thursday evening to discuss what steps can be taken in order to keep the conference together in the middle of the negotiations of future television rights.
It appears that everything is on the table.
"The rumors are circulating," a league source told CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd. "From Clemson leaving their league to Oregon and Washington in our league."
What will become of the Pac-12? Let's break down the likely scenarios.
Pac-12 is on life support
That might be the kindest way to describe what is happening to the Pac-12. The SEC made waves last summer when it announced it was adding Oklahoma and Texas from the Big 12 to the mix by 2025 at the latest. Now, USC and UCLA -- two other massive programs with longstanding history in the Power Five -- have bailed on their current home to head to the Midwest.
Like the Big 12 did, the Pac-12 has to find a way to keep up with the Joneses fast, and there aren't many options out there. Boise State is an obvious choice geographically, and it has enough notoriety in football to keep the conference afloat. Will Colorado State, Fresno State,Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State or UNLV bring enough juice to keep the conference attractive to television partners? No. Not a chance.
"We gotta stay together, which is easier said than done because the league's in quicksand," that same Pac-12 source told Dodd.
The lack of options on the college football landscape means that, even if the Pac-12 finds a way to remain a Power Five league, the revenue disparity between it and the likes of the SEC and Big Ten will be the size of the Grand Canyon.
Will other teams bail?
Oregon, Washington and the Arizona schools might as well be looking around in empty living rooms wondering where all of their furniture went. Any "new-look" Pac-12 is going to be beneath all four -- at least -- depending on the next dominoes to fall.
Simply put: It's hard to imagine they'll want to stick around.
The era of super conferences is clearly upon us. The Big Ten and SEC could certainly add more programs to further fracture the sport, and the 14-team ACC is essentially stable through 2036 due to its grant of rights deal and roughly $52 million exit fee. That will put the higher-profile Pac-12 teams in a massive pool of programs -- including current and future Big 12 schools -- scrambling to stay relevant in the future landscape of college athletics.
An industry source indicated to Dodd that the feeling among industry insiders is that the new-look Big 12 would be a more desirable conference than a Pac-12 without USC and UCLA.
If you're placing bets on what happens next, more teams leaving the Pac-12 has to be at the top of the odds board.
A new 'Alliance'
Remember last year when the Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 formed "The Alliance" after the SEC added Oklahoma and Texas? It turned out to be nothing more than a superficial pledge to combat the inevitable. It's safe to say that, after Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren poached the largest market in the Pac-12 footprint, the "Alliance" has been shattered into thousands of pieces.
Will Kliavkoff put some of those pieces back together and renew a vow with the Big 12? It's worth a shot.
The Big 12 announced Wednesday that Brett Yormark will take over for Bob Bowlsby as commissioner of a conference that is slated to add BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF in 2023. A new alliance between the two -- or the creation of a new super conference with an outright merger -- is still a viable product to sell distributors.
It would spread the footprint of the "Alliance 2.0" from sea to shining sea and provide plenty of exposure for football players looking to capitalize on national notoriety -- both from athletic and name, image and likeness (NIL) standpoints.
If that hypothetical scenario plays out, a four-conference landscape with the ACC, Big Ten, SEC and a Big 12/Pac-12 combo would save the lower-tier of the Power Five from total destruction. | https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/usc-and-ucla-to-big-ten-pac-12-faces-tough-questions-uncertain-future-amid-conference-realignment-raid/ | 2022-07-01T00:10:35Z | https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/usc-and-ucla-to-big-ten-pac-12-faces-tough-questions-uncertain-future-amid-conference-realignment-raid/ | true | 1 |

CHICAGO (AP) — The sales tax on groceries in Illinois will be suspended for a year starting Friday, under the state budget approved in April.
The state’s tax relief program will also postpone a gas tax increase until January, and cut school supply taxes from 6.25% to 1.25% from Aug. 5 to 14.
“Starting tomorrow, every Illinoisan will get tax relief on essentials: groceries, gas, your home, and back-to-school supplies, with even more tax relief going into effect next year,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a news release.
The measures are part of a $1.8 billion state tax-break deal signed by Pritzker in April. GOP leaders derided the measures as a campaign tool for Pritzker and other Democrats in an election year.
The plan also provides automatic $50 income tax rebates for individuals who made less than $200,000 in 2021, $100 for couples filing jointly who made less than $400,000, and $100 per dependent claimed in 2021, up to three.
Additionally, the Illinois state earned income credit will increase from 18% to 20% of the federal credit, and eligible homeowners will receive property tax rebates equal to their 2021 property tax credit, up to $300.
Illinois’ 1% sales tax on groceries will be suspended through June 30, 2023, which will net $400 million in consumer savings, the governor’s release said.
The state is one of just 13 in the nation that charges a sales tax for groceries.
Lawmakers across the country are enacting tax relief measures like the ones in Illinois, in part in response to inflation, according to Tax Foundation senior policy analyst Katherine Loughead.
The temporary elimination of the grocery tax represents “just a small amount of relief because there’s only a 1% levy on groceries as it is,” she said. “It will go back into effect July 1 of 2023.”
Chicago grocery shopper Bob Goldberg said inflation is “out of control," and a 1% difference won't matter much for the average consumer.
“That 1%'s not gonna be felt,” the 72-year-old retiree said. “If you want to do something, get the gas down to where it was a year ago.”
Illinois charged about 55 cents more per gallon for gas than the national average for Thursday, according to the American Automobile Association.
Zubin Shroff of Winfield -- about 35 miles west of Chicago -- said he felt the pinch of fuel cost the whole way during a recent road trip from Boston. But he said the prices were steepest in Illinois.
“The $5.80 we’re paying is way higher than anywhere in the country,” the 48-year-old said.
The state’s $0.39 gas tax rate was scheduled to increase on July 1, but now will not go into effect until 2023.
Shroff called the tax suspensions a “token gesture” by Pritzker. “No one’s gonna turn it down, say no. But is it meaningful, tangible relief? I don’t think so.”

Ingles (knee) and the Bucks agreed to terms Thursday on a one-year, $6.5 million contract, Mike Scotto of HoopsHype reports.
Ingles technically finished last season in Portland, though he never played for the Blazers after tearing his ACL in early February while he was still a member of the Jazz. An unrestricted free agent this summer, Ingles will join the Bucks via the taxpayer midlevel exception -- an impressive get for a soon-to-be-35-year-old who will likely miss a decent chunk of the 2022-23 campaign. Ingles underwent surgery to repair the torn ACL in late February, but at this point he's without any sort of firm timetable. Once he returns, Ingles figures to fill a key depth role as a shooter and ball-handler off the bench for coach Mike Budenholzer. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/bucks-joe-ingles-headed-to-milwaukee/ | 2022-07-01T00:12:24Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/bucks-joe-ingles-headed-to-milwaukee/ | true | null |

Texas police: 4 migrants killed in smuggling attempt
Published: Jun. 30, 2022 at 6:25 PM CDT|Updated: 47 minutes ago
ENCINAL, Texas (AP) — Authorities in Texas say four migrants have died and three other people were hospitalized in another fatal human smuggling attempt.
The crash Thursday happened in Encinal, the same small town where a tractor-trailer carrying migrants passed through Monday before ending up in San Antonio, where authorities found more than 50 people dead or dying inside.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says a Jeep carrying seven people was trying to evade Border Patrol agents when it crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer.
The driver was air-lifted to a San Antonio hospital in critical condition.

From Juliana Taiwo-Obalonye, Abuja
President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated his commitment to a peaceful, transparent, free, fair and credible elections next year.
He gave the assurance on Wednesday night in Lisbon, Portugal at a meeting with representatives of Nigerians living in the country.
A statement by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, quoted Buhari as saying the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would have a free hand to deliver credible elections.
He said with the conclusion of party primaries and flag bearers chosen for all elective positions in states and federal levels, all eyes were now focused on the elections.
The president, however, cautioned against the use of social media to insult and incite from a safe and anonymous distance, urging the Diaspora to always promote the country’s unity.
Citing the last gubernatorial elections in Anambra and Ekiti states, the president said his administration had proven its zero tolerance for interference in elections and insistence that Nigerians should be allowed to vote for the party and candidate of their choice.
“We also look forward to a smooth transition to the next government. As I have said before, our administration will not compromise on doing the right things and the welfare of Nigerians, home and abroad. The world is a global village and technology has shrunk the world even more. Although you reside beyond Nigeria’s boundaries you can engage easily with the country. In fact, we see the impact of that engagement clearly on social media. This platform has empowered Nigerians in the diaspora and given you great influence.
“As we have seen, however, social media can be a force for good as well as a force for evil. Many countries, including our own have had to take strong measures against some social media platforms to curb their excesses and prevent them from destabilising our societies. I, therefore, call upon you to use social media responsibly. We all want the best for our country and people, so let us strive to build, unite and prosper our nation and people and not to insult and incite from a safe and anonymous distance.”
President Buhari expressed delight in the successful involvement of Diaspora in various fields such as agriculture, health care, education, ICT and the food industry in Nigeria.
He said many countries, including Nigeria, have shown that the Diaspora could be a veritable engine for growth and development.
Acknowledging the huge contribution the Diaspora have made to Nigeria’s economy, Buhari said: “In every field of human endeavour, be it the creative industries, sports, health, academia, Nigerians in the diaspora have thrived and leveraged on their skills to raise our country’s profile higher, economically, socially, technologically and culturally.
Buhari assured the meeting coordinated by Chairman NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa that his administration would continue to do everything possible to catalyse development in various fields of the economy.
Nigerian Ambassador to Portugal, Alex Kefas, informed the President that there are some 3,000 Nigerians living in the country, who are well behaved and living peacefully among themselves and the host authorities.
He disclosed that 13 Nigerians were recently arrested and detained for alleged offences of money laundering and cybercrime. At the meeting with the Diaspora, a Nigerian professional footballer, Saviour Godwin, who plays for Portuguese side Casa Pia, presented a jersey to President Buhari. | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/2023-buhari-reiterates-commitment-to-peaceful-credible-elections/ | 2022-07-01T00:13:04Z | https://www.sunnewsonline.com/2023-buhari-reiterates-commitment-to-peaceful-credible-elections/ | true | 8 |
Does Jennifer Aniston have any friends? One rumor says she’s been abandoned by everyone who’s ever loved her. This story seems a bit too harsh to be true. Let’s take a closer look.
‘I Can’t Trust Anyone’
According to Woman’s Day, Aniston’s inner circle no longer exists after Aniston called out celebrities who are “famous for doing nothing” and got some blowback online. A source explains, “Jennifer has never faced backlash like this before—and she’s hurt.” Friends of hers seem to have stayed completely mum after Aniston made her comments and the attacks began.
RELATED: Cruel Rumor Says Matthew Perry’s Appearance Apparently Has Friends Worried About Him
Aniston told Variety that influencers and folks who are famous on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram are “diluting our actor’s job.” Critics have labeled Aniston the product of nepotism because her parents John Aniston and Nancy Dow helped her get into the business.
Aniston apparently expected her friends and former lovers to spring to her defense, yet she’s been greeted with silence. A source concludes, “None of them wanted to get involved publicly. It came as a real surprise to Jennifer, given she thought she had an extremely loyal crew and now she’s starting to doubt that.”
What Did Jennifer Aniston Say?
We’ve got some serious doubts that Aniston expected all of her friends to come out of the woodwork to support a comment she made in a random interview. If she thought it would be so controversial, she probably would have kept it to herself in the first place.
It’s true that Aniston caused a minor stir with her Variety comments. As you’d expect, Woman’s Day robs Aniston’s words out of context. She didn’t just bash influencers out of nowhere. She was specifically discussing what internet culture was like when Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee had their sex tape leaked.
“It was right at the time when the internet really shaped a new culture about people becoming famous…This thing of people becoming famous for basically doing nothing. I mean—Paris Hilton, Monica Lewinsky, all those.” Fans accused Aniston of trying to gate-keep fame and not recognizing how privileged she was to have her parent’s help.
The scandal, if you can even call it that, is really about Aniston reacting to internet culture and the widening opportunities for fame away from acting. Many fans spring to her defense while others did not. The scandal is not about Aniston’s friends abandoning her as this tabloid promises.
Aniston’s friends and exes haven’t said anything because, well, why would they? It’s not like Aniston is going to lose work for lamenting the rise of TikTok, so why would Courteney Cox or Brad Pitt say a word? In all likelihood, they probably didn’t even hear about it. Lewinsky did hear about it and rightfully liked a tweet calling Aniston out for bashing her for no reason.
There’s Even More Gossip
There isn’t a worse source to trust for stories about Aniston than Woman’s Day. It maintains to this day that Aniston is dating Brad Pitt. She supposedly lives with his daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, and Aniston apparently should have had his twin babies years ago. None of this happened. It’s wild to have to say this, but Aniston still has friends. None of them would ever talk to such a trashy tabloid. | https://www.suggest.com/jennifer-aniston-insider-reeling-abandoned-friends/2660056/ | 2022-07-01T00:13:08Z | https://www.suggest.com/jennifer-aniston-insider-reeling-abandoned-friends/2660056/ | false | 1 |
The Aurora Theatre is continuing to provide audiences with a diverse selection in July after the venue treated crowds to comedy, kid shows, the circus and dancing in June.
Here’s a look at what is taking the stage at the Lawrenceville venue:
Aurora Comedy Nights: Rob Cleveland, July 8-9, 8 p.m.
Cleveland is no stranger to the Aurora Theatre, having been in the cast of “I’m Not Rappaport” and “The Bridges of Madison County,” among many others.
But Cleveland will be showcasing his comedic roots when he takes the Morgan Cabaret for a two-night run. He’s been making crowds laugh since the 1980s, as he’s taken the stage at many of the country’s top comedic venues.
“Rob Cleveland is an Aurora Comedy Nights fan favorite. He has performed many times on our Lawrenceville stages and drawn big crowds with his observational humor, “Al Stilo, Aurora’s director of sales and marketing, said. “He is a master at finding the funny in the everyday, like — why do they have braille buttons on a drive through ATM? Local audiences appreciate him as a headliner whose humor is more clever, not coarse.”
Tickets cost $20.
Inside Look at Lawrenceville Arts Center Courtyard Summer 2022 Campus Tour: July 9-10
Groups will be led by an expert guide and will get an up-close look at the LAC’s three newest venues: Bartow & Leslie Morgan Cabaret, Lawrenceville Arts Center Courtyard and the spectacular Clyde & Sandra Strickland Grand Stage Theatre.
The backstage tour will be one of the few times where visitors can go behind the curtain and explore the inner workings of the state-of-the-art performance venue, which includes stops at the Borders Rehearsal Hall, Thurmon Family Costume Shop and dressing rooms.
Participants will also get to walk on the Clyde & Sandra Strickland Grand Stage, learn about the fly system and enjoy a birds-eye view from the catwalk, in addition to some areas that visitors have never been allowed to enter.
Tickets are $5.
Aurora Comedy Nights: Dad’s Garage, June 12-13, 5 p.m. family show; 8 p.m. mature audience
Atlanta’s premier improv group returns for the second straight month to put on a show that features fast-paced scenes and games based partly on spectator suggestions that result in an evening of hysterical off-the-cuff night of comedy at the Metro Waterproofing Mainstage.
But this time, Dad’s Garage Theatre is partnering with The Urban Clinic of Atlanta, which will be providing free COVID-19 vaccinations, in addition to providing information about vaccinations and a $50 gift card for everyone who receives a dose.
Tickets are free.
Mary Poppins Movie Event: July 14, 7 p.m .
While Disney and Cameron Macintosh’s production will kick off the Aurora Theatre’s 27th season when it hits the stage from Aug. 18 — Sept. 11, fans can see the 1964 film for free at the Clyde & Sandra Strickland Grand Stage Theatre.
The original Disney classic that stars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke that introduced audiences to the word “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” will serve as the perfect preview for the live-action version later this summer.
“I must love it because for only the second time in Aurora history, will we remount a show and kick off our 27th season with the high-flying stage version of the Disney classic,” said Ann-Carol Pence, the theatre’s associate producer and co-founder, adding spectators will need to bring their own popcorn. “With all of our shows this season, we will look for ways to surprise and delight the community.”
Tickets can be reserved at auroratheatre.com.
Christmas Canteen (in July): July 23, 8 p.m.
Gwinnett’s longest-running theatrical holiday tradition “Christmas Canteen,” which features a collection of songs, comedic sketches and dancing, will get a summer spin when it plays the Lawrenceville Arts Center Courtyard.
“Christmas Canteen,” which has been a holiday staple since its debut in 1996, will still be held during the holiday season, but this show is too big to be shown during just the holiday season.
“Christmas Canteen” (in July) premiered last summer and was a hit with audiences, who are urged to bring lawn chairs to enjoy the warm weather.
The four-member cast will perform outdoors instead of indoors, but just like with the holiday show, the Lawrenceville Co-Op food bank will be collecting non-perishable grocery items.
“This outdoor cabaret-style take on Gwinnett’s longest running theatrical tradition was an instant hit. We knew the summertime version was the start of a new tradition,” said Pence, who has been involved with “Christmas Canteen” since its debut 26 years ago. Just like everything in the summertime, this performance is more casual.
Tickets start at $15.
Clue: July 28-30, 7 p.m.
Who’s the murderer? Butler Wadsworth? Or was it Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum or Mrs. White? Or maybe, it was Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock or Colonel Mustard?
The audience will find out when the Dogwood Theatre Company, an amateur troupe of college and high school students from the Dacula area, will perform the “Clue,” which is based on the 1985 Paramount film and popular Hasbro board game of the same name.
The funny, family-friendly show will blend comedy with mystery to ensure the audience laughs itself to death at the Metro Waterproofing Main Stage.
Tickets start at $10.
Global Market Festival: July 30, 3 p.m.
The world will converge in Lawrenceville, where this free event gives attendees the opportunity to shop, eat and meet with vendors representing the international community without leaving the county seat.
“Over the past year we’ve had incredible success with these unique events that bring together local businesses and artists. In the past, these events have focused on individual communities, but this time we wanted to open it up to the world— literally,” Jacky Segui, Aurora Theatre’s director of community impact. “Our Global Market and Open-Mic will feature vendors and artists from different cultures and backgrounds representing the incredible diversity in Lawrenceville.”
Summer Camps: Through July 22
It’s not too late to sign up for camp at the Aurora Theatre Academy, where sessions last between one and three weeks. Rising kindergartners through seniors in high school will get the chance to perform “Disney’s The Jungle Book Kids” under the guidance of established industry professionals at the Lawrenceville Arts Center. Camps range from $325-$675.
“In the summertime Aurora Theatre will forgo large-scale multi-week productions in favor of a wide variety of Summer Camps to enrich the lives of students,” Stilo said. “These camps serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade and take place on weekdays while most folks are at work. This leaves our stages available during the summer months for limited engagement performances and rental usage.”
Tickets for all shows can be purchased via tickets.auroratheatre.com or by calling the theatre at 678-226-6222. | https://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/entertainment/aurora-theatre-continues-to-heat-up-with-july-schedule/article_58dc5b46-f7e3-11ec-9e55-87d16a904351.html | 2022-07-01T00:21:40Z | https://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/entertainment/aurora-theatre-continues-to-heat-up-with-july-schedule/article_58dc5b46-f7e3-11ec-9e55-87d16a904351.html | false | 1 |

Ek Villain Returns first look: John Abraham-Disha Patani, Arjun Kapoor-Tara Sutaria look super-hot
The follow-up to Ek Villain, released in June 2014, is titled Ek Villain Returns. Arjun Kapoor, Tara Sutaria, John Abraham, and Disha Patani are the movie's stars.
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is Ek Villain Returns. Although there is still a long wait for the movie, the creators have recently unveiled some new posters that are getting everyone excited. The hot chemistry between Arjun Kapoor and Tara Sutaria and John Abraham and Disha Patani is captured in these new posters.
One of the posters shows Disha posing in a bikini while being held from behind by a shirtless John. Arjun and Tara might be seen riding a bike in another image. The trailer for Ek Villain Returns will be published tomorrow, June 30, along with the posters for the film.

The posters, however, have split online users. While some people are really enthusiastic about the movie, others think it will be a "failure." "All illustrious performers in one film, "a supporter wrote. What is meant by this, asked another tweet? An advertisement for women's underwear and Axe body spray? WOW."
Earlier today, Arjun Kapoor took to Instagram, dropped a series of pictures and teased Ek Villain Returns in Paris. “#EkVillain was in Paris and is now headed to Mumbai for the Big launch. Brace yourselves for some epic villainy coming your way! 😈 #EkVillainReturns," he wrote.

Palo Alto Networks
shares have held up a little better than most other software stocks in the recent tech selloff, and for good reason—in an era of “digital transformation,” about the last thing you want to cut from the IT spending budget is software to defend the corporate network from bad guys.
But Morgan Stanley analyst Hamza Fodderwala asserts in a research note Thursday that Palo Alto Networks (ticker: PANW) shares remain “underpriced.” He maintains his Overweight rating and $823 target price on the stock, implying a potential 68% gain from recent levels.
In recent trading, Palo Alto Networks shares were 0.4% higher, at $493.96, while the
Nasdaq Composite
was down 1.2%. The stock is off 11% this year.
Fodderwala’s note focuses one two specific points.
For starters, he thinks investors are overly concerned about the company’s relatively high stock-based compensation expense. As he concedes, stock-based comp at Palo Alto Networks is about 20% of revenue, well above rivals
Check Point
(CHKP), at about 5%, and
Fortinet
(FTNT), at about 7%. But he also says the higher figure largely reflects M&A activity, when the company issued stock to retain key execs of acquired companies.
The analyst notes that Palo Alto Networks has free-cash-flow margins above 30%, and more than $2 billion in annualized free cash flow. He thinks the company can buy back stock at an annualized rate of $1 billion to $1.5 billion beyond the July 2022 fiscal year, which should more than offset dilution from stock-based compensation programs going forward.
Fodderwala’s second key point is that Palo Alto Networks is within one to two quarters of reaching profitability under generally accepted accounting principles, with profitability on a trailing-12-month basis as soon as early to mid-2023. Once that happens, he adds, the company would be a “strong contender” for addition to the
S&P 500.
Stocks generally rally when added to the index.
The analyst concludes that with the stock trading at about 20 times expected calendar 2023 free cash flow, and with the top line growing 30%—and given the “durability of securing spend in period of macro uncertainty”—Palo Alto Networks shares offer “one of the most compelling risk-rewards in our software universe.”

Box Office Report: 'Jug Jugg Jeeyo' earns Rs 50 cr; here’s how 'Vikram', '777 Charlie' performed
While Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani-starrer 'Jug Jugg Jeeyo' has started picking up on its business, take a look at how the other three films -- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Vikram and 777 Charlie performed at the box office on Wednesday.
Image: Official film poster
For every film that releases on a Friday, it becomes necessary to perform well at the box office, which has, in some way, been set as one of the parameters to judge whether a film has tasted success or not, as per the makers' point of view. While many of these films live up to their expectations, many have to be satisfied with very little. Something similar happened with the films released in the past. The recently released film 'Jug Jugg Jeeyo' is giving a striking performance these days, while Yash's film 'KGF 2' has bid farewell to the worldwide box office. On the other hand, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani's film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is also entertaining the audience a lot. Here are the earnings of these films on Wednesday:

Jug Jugg Jeeyo: Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Neetu Kapoor and Anil Kapoor-starrer Jug Jugg Jeeyo is doing great at the box office. Due to the response received from the audience, the film has completed its half-century within six days. Talking about the earnings of the film, which was released on June 24, Jug Jugg Jeeyo has done a business of Rs 4 crore on its first Wednesday.

777 Charlie: The story and characters of Rakshit Shetty-starrer Kannada film '777 Charlie' are being liked by the audience. However, despite this, the film is earning quite slowly. Talking about the film's earnings on the 20th day, 777 Charlie has done a business of around Rs 80 lakh on the third Wednesday of its release. With this, the film has so far earned more than Rs 80 lakh at the box office on its 19th day. The film, which was released in theatres on June 10, has so far earned Rs 75.70 crore.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani-starrer this film of the horror-comedy genre, has been performing well at the box office.

FDA: Do not use baby neck floats after infant dies, another injured
(Gray News) - A federal agency is warning parents and caregivers of the possible dangers of using baby neck floats.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, an infant has died and another was hospitalized while using the item. It is also possible that some incidents have not been reported to the agency.
Neck floats are inflatable plastic rings worn around a baby’s neck that allow babies to float freely in the water.
Officials said parents and caregivers use these products during a baby’s bath, while their baby is swimming, and as a physical therapy tool (water therapy intervention) for babies with developmental delays or disabilities.
The FDA recommends that parents and caregivers not use the product as it can lead to death or serious injury. Anyone who has experienced issues associated with using neck floats is encouraged to file a voluntary report through MedWatch.
Those with further questions can call the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at 1-800-638-2041.

The Pac-12 Conference has existed, in some form or another, for 107 years.
After the thunderous news Thursday that USC and UCLA are seeking membership in the Big Ten starting in 2024, the future of the conference is very much in doubt.
What’s next for the shattered Pac-12, which was caught completely off guard by the planned departures of the schools in its largest media market and its most fertile recruiting ground?
Without an anchor in Southern California, the league is a shell of its former self.
Can it exist as a 10-school entity?
Should it expand?
Is a merger possible?
First, let’s be clear: When it comes to conference realignment, nothing is done until it’s done — and sometimes not even then.
USC and UCLA have yet to utter a public peep; nor has the Big Ten.
But if we presume the move becomes official in the next 24 hours, there are a slew of scenarios to consider:
— Will Oregon and Washington attempt to join the Big Ten, as well?
The success of their football teams makes the Ducks and Huskies potential targets.
UW also brings a significant media market and academic bonafides, while Oregon has the Nike affiliation and a national following.
For scheduling purposes, the Big Ten might determine it’s better off with four West Coast schools.
Of course, its media partners would have to agree.
— What happens to Cal and Stanford?
The California Four, which has served as the heart of the Pac-12 for eons, is no more.
The Bears and Cardinal excel at Olympic sports, but neither possesses the football credentials — either the on-field success or the fan affinity that generates TV ratings — to be considered must-haves if the Big Ten intends to take in more schools.
Abandoned by their partner (USC for Stanford) and their sister (UCLA for Cal), the Bay Area schools most likely will remain in the reconfigured Pac-12.
— Could the ‘Four Corners’ schools be next?
Arizona and Arizona State joined the Pac-12 in 1978, while Utah and Colorado came aboard in 2011.
Without the connection to Southern California provided by USC and UCLA, the quartet could look for options together.
The best of those might be the Big 12, to create a league that owns the Central and Mountain Time Zones.
But this development is extremely damaging for all four of those schools given their reliance on Southern California for recruiting and on the L.A. schools as prime sources of TV revenue.
— Are there expansion options available?
Yes, there are several. But none of them are ideal.
The Pac-12 could add the top-tier football teams from the Mountain West, such as San Diego State, Boise State or Fresno State. But those schools bring little in the way of media value.
It could attempt to poach the Big 12 schools such as BYU, TCU or Houston.
But what motivation would those universities have to leave the Big 12, which is suddenly better positioned strategically and competitively than the Pac-12?
The options are few, in part because of the paucity of football schools in major media hubs in the Western third of the country.
— Is an outright merger in the works?
One year ago, the Big 12 was in an equally dire situation, having lost its biggest football brands, Texas and Oklahoma, to the SEC.
It reached out to the Pac-12 and asked about a merger, only to have the offer rebuffed.
At that point, the Big 12 scanned the landscape and decided to expand, adding Cincinnati, Brigham Young, Houston and UCF to create stability for its post-Texas/Oklahoma existence.
Now, the Pac-12 is desperate.
On numerous levels, it makes sense to seek a merger with the Big 12 that would give rise to a conference with 22 teams and span three time zones.
But would anyone pay for it?
The prime driver of conference realignment is the revenue generated by media rights contracts, particularly with Fox and ESPN.
The Pac-12’s misguided media strategy under former commissioner Larry Scott created the revenue chasm that now exists with the Big Ten and set the stage for USC and UCLA to depart.
In the Big Ten, they are expected to receive more than $100 million in annual payments from the conference — approximately twice what they might collect by staying in the Pac-12
How much would the TV networks pay for a merged Pac-12 and Big 12?
Certainly not as much as they are paying the Big Ten or SEC — not even close to that amount.
But at this point, expectations must be ramped down.
It’s about survival.
Time to call ESPN and beg for a lifeboat.

PHOENIX (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed enforcement of a 2021 Arizona law that lets prosecutors bring felony charges against doctors who knowingly terminate pregnancies solely because the fetuses have a genetic abnormality such as Down syndrome.
The decision comes in the wake of the high court's June 24 decision that said women have no constitutional right to obtain an abortion. It has no immediate effect because Arizona providers stopped all abortions following last Friday's Supreme Court ruling.
Providers, including Planned Parenthood Arizona, stopped performing abortions immediately because they were worried about a pre-statehood law making it a crime to perform an abortion or assist in any way, unless the life of the mother is threatened. It was unclear if that law could be enforced, but Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich said Wednesday that it can be.
That decision puts him at odds with GOP Gov. Doug Ducey, who has repeatedly said that a ban on abortions after 15 weeks' pregnancy that he signed in March takes precedence. His spokesman, C.J. Karamargin, said Wednesday night that the governor's office is reviewing that decision and had no immediate comment.
The 2021 law specifically said it did not overturn the total abortion ban in place since at least 11 years before Arizona became a state in 1912. The Republican-controlled Legislature did remove another part of that law allowing women to be sentenced to one to five years in prison if convicted of having an abortion.
Democrats and abortion rights advocates slammed Brnovich's decision.
“Mark Brnovich just took us back to 1901,” Democratic attorney general candidate Kris Mayes said Thursday. “And I think it should outrage everyone. It's way outside of where most Arizonans stand on this issue.
"And it's also unconstitutional," she added. "I believe all of these laws violate Arizona's privacy clause."
Mayes said she's unaware of anyone challenging abortion restrictions under that part of the state constitution. But she vowed never to prosecute women in Arizona for violating laws restricting abortion if she is elected in November.
In Thursday's genetic abnormality ruling, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the federal judge in Phoenix who had blocked it last September. U.S. District Judge Douglas Rayes said in his ruling that the law’s criminal provisions were likely unconstitutionally vague, explaining it’s unclear at what point in the process doctors can be deemed to be aware that fetal genetic abnormality exists.
When the law was being debated last year, Republican state Sen. Nancy Barto said children with Down syndrome and other genetic abnormalities deserve to be protected and can live “productive, wonderful lives.”
“There are incredible numbers of people that appreciate those children that have come into the world with a genetic abnormality like Down (syndrome) or other serious issues that are genetic,” said Barto, a Phoenix Republican who sponsored the bill.
“And once they were born, they’ve meant so much to their families, to the world. They’ve gone on to live productive, wonderful lives. That’s what we’re protecting here.”
Dr. Jill Gibson, the medical director at Planned Parenthood Arizona, said in an interview Thursday that the law puts parents in a quandary. A woman may feel compelled to lie to her abortion provider about her reasons for obtaining the procedure, Gibson said.
“Anytime there is that breach in a patient's ability to speak openly and honestly with their physician, bad things are going to happen,” she said. “Really bad things are going to happen — we're not going to be able to care for the patients the way that we need to care for them.”
And families caring for badly disabled children face Arizona's poorly funded social service programs, Gibson said.
“These fetuses that are born with major anomalies and abnormalities and require lifelong medical care, who’s going to provide that care?” | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/High-court-Arizona-can-enforce-genetic-issue-17277889.php | 2022-07-01T00:30:02Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/High-court-Arizona-can-enforce-genetic-issue-17277889.php | true | 15 |
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Thursday approved most of a roughly $48 billion state budget while cutting $500 million lawmakers had set aside for tax refunds.
The budget outlines spending on state programs and services for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins Friday.
Notably, Parson cut funding for a new tax refund program spearheaded by the House Budget Committee leader. He previously raised concerns about the refunds, which were only slated to go to individuals earning less than $150,000 and couples making less than $300,000 annually.
Parson has said he'd prefer to dole out tax breaks to all Missourians.
In total, Parson cut about $644 million in spending proposed by lawmakers, mostly federal stimulus funding.
“This past session was often obstructed by petty infighting and personal political interests, but common sense prevailed,” Parson said in a statement, taking a dig at Republican feuds that caused roadblocks in the Senate. “We applaud members of the General Assembly for capitalizing on this opportunity and prioritizing the continued success of our state.”
Other spending approved by Parson includes money to fully pay for the state’s share of public K-12 busing costs, which have been underfunded since 1991.
A new program included in the upcoming year's budget will increase teacher pay to at least $38,000 a year if local school districts agree to pitch in 30% of the costs.
The Republican governor also signed on to a plan to give parents and other caregivers up to $1,500 in grants or reimbursements to pay for tutoring and other resources to help K-12 students catch up after falling behind during the coronavirus pandemic, another proposal headed by the House Budget Committee chairman, Rep. Cody Smith.
Public four-year colleges and universities are set to get a 5.5% funding increase, or about $51 million compared to the latest fiscal year, along with another $460 million for construction projects at university and college campuses across the state.
Republican lawmakers caved this year and included money to pay for Medicaid expansion under the terms of the 2010 federal health care law signed by former President Barack Obama, as approved by Missouri taxpayers in 2020.
Parson approved that funding, along with more money to pay for in-home care for seniors and people with disabilities.
He lauded investments in infrastructure, one of his top policy priorities as governor. The budget includes close to $366 million for broadband expansion and $608 million for drinking water, wastewater and storm water infrastructure. | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Parson-signs-48B-Missouri-budget-cuts-tax-17277910.php | 2022-07-01T00:30:38Z | https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Parson-signs-48B-Missouri-budget-cuts-tax-17277910.php | true | 12 |
Travis Barker is set to “be OK” after he was hospitalised with reported pancreatitis.
A source told E! the 46-year-old Blink-182 drummer’s wife Kourtney Kardashian, 43, is trying to stay positive as she remains by his side at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.
The insider had said: “He was in extreme pain yesterday, and he and Kourtney were both really worried. It was to the point where he could barely walk.
“Kourtney is trying to lift his spirits and hates seeing him in excruciating pain.”
But they added Barker is expected to be “ok and is doing better”.
Barker’s apparent pancreatitis is believed to have been “triggered” by a recent colonoscopy, it was claimed by TMZ.
It comes after Barker’s stepdaughter thanked fans for their “love and prayers” amid his hospitalisation.
The drummer was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, and Atiana De La Hoya – the daughter of Barker’s ex-wife Shanna Moakler, and pro boxer Oscar De La Hoya – said everybody’s well wishes were “appreciated”.
She said on her Instagram Stories: “Thank you for the outpouring of love and prayers sent our way at this time. It is heard, felt and appreciated Xx. (sic)”
Barker’s new wife is said to be refusing to leave his bedside.
He was wheeled into Cedars-Sinai after tweeting “God save me” on Tuesday.
Rapper Kid Cudi, 38, took to social media to say he is praying for Barker.
The Pursuit of Happiness rapper tweeted: “Travis I love u and im prayin for u.”
Cudi and Barker have been friends for years and collaborated on the drummer’s 2011 song ‘Cool Head’.
Travis’ daughter Alabama Barker has also asked fans to “please send your prayers”.
It comes just over a month after the musician – who also has 18-year-old son Landon – and Kardashian got married in Portofino, Italy.
They initially wed in May following practice nuptials in Las Vegas in March, before holding the third ceremony for family and friends in Italy.
Barker was previously involved in an horrific plane crash in 2008, when he was one of two survivors, while four people died. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/music/travis-barker-set-to-be-ok-after-he-was-hospitalised-with-reported-pancreatitis-c-7366401 | 2022-07-01T00:32:50Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/entertainment/music/travis-barker-set-to-be-ok-after-he-was-hospitalised-with-reported-pancreatitis-c-7366401 | true | 2 |
Texas police: 4 migrants killed in smuggling attempt
Published: Jun. 30, 2022 at 6:25 PM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
ENCINAL, Texas (AP) — Authorities in Texas say four migrants have died and three other people were hospitalized in another fatal human smuggling attempt.
The crash Thursday happened in Encinal, the same small town where a tractor-trailer carrying migrants passed through Monday before ending up in San Antonio, where authorities found more than 50 people dead or dying inside.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says a Jeep carrying seven people was trying to evade Border Patrol agents when it crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer.
The driver was air-lifted to a San Antonio hospital in critical condition.

Since 2015, the National Birth Equity Collaborative (NBEC) has been working to address the increased rates of infant and maternal mortality faced by the Black community. They do so by working with individuals and groups who impact maternal health matters at every level, from community educators to policy makers. It has long been known that Black women face a greater risk of pregnancy and delivery complications, and the recent overturning of Roe V. Wade increases those dangers for this vulnerable population.
NBEC put out a statement in response to the Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) recent ruling, assuring Black women and birthing people that their efforts to provide maternal medical care to the Black community will not cease in response to this ruling. In fact, they will increase.
NBEC also reflected on the concept of the U.S. being a role model for other countries, and as such, this recent ruling has tragic implications for reproductive and women’s rights in other parts of the world. And, as a whole, NBEC says this ruling undermines the United States’ claim as land of the free, stating, “The Position of the United States on women’s bodily autonomy now ranks with countries that have known histories of human rights violations.”
NBEC also states this decision by SCOTUS will not put a stop to abortions – it will simply force those who need them to take less safe and sanitary paths. Due to many factors including systemic prejudice, financial circumstances and geography, Black women already faced obstacles in seeking abortions and now this recent ruling has only intensified those.
The organization promises to continue to fight the inequities faced by Black women and birthing people, more than ever now. “We will not sit down on our human right to choose,” says NBEC.

Editor’s note: The Frederick News-Post is profiling candidates for various public offices in Frederick County leading up to the July 19 primary elections.
Frederick County Councilman Steve McKay said that, if reelected, he would continue to try to slow development so that it does not overwhelm schools and roads. He would also push for broader tax credits for veterans.
Over the last four years, McKay, a Republican who is among the most vocal members of the council, has sponsored bills that updated the county’s zoning ordinance, established a property tax credit for disabled veterans, expanded eligibility for a tax credit for seniors and uniformed service members and their spouses, and adjusted the fees that developers pay toward school construction projects.
The council is scheduled to vote Tuesday on another of his bills that would change the adequate public facilities ordinance to require that large developments in the county adhere to a higher standard for easing traffic.
“Part of the reason for running again is making sure those things don’t get undone,” McKay said. “The wrong next four people on the council can undo all your best work.”
McKay aims to build on the last four years, too. He said he plans to draft a bill to make property tax credits available to more uniformed service members.
Three candidates are campaigning to represent District 2, which includes New Market, Linganore, Ijamsville and parts of Urbana and Mount Airy.
Lisa Jarosinski, who runs her own business preparing tax returns and bookkeeping, is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination for the November general election.
McKay, who in 2018 won the District 2 seat over Jarosinski with 57% of the vote, and Casie Chang, an administrative assistant for Frederick County Public Schools, are vying for the Republican nomination.
McKay works as a national security professional for GCI Inc. and has lived in Monrovia with his family since 1999.
“I enjoy the work,” McKay said. “I feel that I brought a good voice to the council, and you get a lot of satisfaction from various aspects of the job.”
He said he’s especially proud when he is able to convince a colleague to change their mind about a proposal and vote in his favor, which can be a “rather unique experience for this kind of position.”
If reelected, McKay said he would propose changing the county’s definition of agritourism to help farm businesses expand and be more competitive with similar businesses in neighboring counties. But, he said he is not yet sure what specific change he would try to make.
McKay was president of Residents Advocating for Land use and the Environment, formerly Residents Against Landsdale Expansion, which fought successfully against development of a Monrovia Town Center in the early 2010’s. (Jarosinski also served on the board for RALE.)
McKay said he would continue to make his voice heard when the county makes decisions about development projects.
Companies building in Frederick County have the option of paying a fee to be exempt from including a certain number of moderately priced dwelling units in a development, McKay said. In a second term, he said he would propose a bill granting the county the authority to approve or deny a developer's request for a payment-in-lieu option.
The bill, McKay said, would also do away with the payment-in-lieu option for age-restricted housing units. The county needs more affordable housing options for its growing senior population, he said.
McKay said he is not opposed to growth in the county, but he would like to see it happen at a rate that the county’s schools and roads can keep up with.
“I want to have a seat at the table when we start to see more zoning changes come back,” McKay said. “I want to make sure we make good decisions.” | https://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/continuing_coverage/election_coverage/mckay-poised-to-slow-growth-broaden-tax-credits-if-reelected-to-county-council/article_e135087f-23b6-5a65-a508-24e6093ccd49.html | 2022-07-01T00:50:16Z | https://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/continuing_coverage/election_coverage/mckay-poised-to-slow-growth-broaden-tax-credits-if-reelected-to-county-council/article_e135087f-23b6-5a65-a508-24e6093ccd49.html | false | 2 |

NEW YORK (AP) — The OPEC oil cartel and allied producing nations decided Thursday to boost production of crude by an amount that will likely do little to relieve high gasoline prices at the pump and energy-fueled inflation plaguing the global economy.
The increase of 648,000 barrels per day in August still leaves the world thirsty for oil as it rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic and runs up against the inability of the 23-member OPEC+ alliance to meet its production quotas.
OPEC+, which includes Russia, confirmed the decision from its last meeting. Before that, it had been adding about 432,000 barrels per day monthly to put oil back on the market after cutting production dramatically during the height of the pandemic.
The increase was seen as a gesture largely by OPEC leader Saudi Araba to U.S. President Joe Biden, who soon afterward planned his first trip to the kingdom as president where oil production is likely to be a topic next month. Biden, facing political pressure at home, has been urging oil-producing countries to open the taps and help bring down gasoline prices for American drivers.
Gasoline prices worldwide have reached painful highs. In the U.S., they surpassed $5 a gallon for the first time this month before dipping in recent days as global oil prices fell on fears of a recession.
Biden has been under pressure to do whatever he can to reduce prices, including urging Congress to suspend gas and diesel taxes and releasing oil from strategic reserves, although many experts say there’s little he can do.
OPEC, on the other hand, could help lower prices by increasing production — in theory. But many oil-producing countries are struggling to produce as much as the group’s decisions set out.
Nigeria and Angola have longstanding shortfalls, while Russia has been losing some of its production because Western customers are shunning its oil, either from fear of sanctions or because they don’t want to be associated with the war in Ukraine.
According to data collected by the International Energy Agency, OPEC+ production fell 2.8 million barrels per day below the agreed level in May. The production agreement gives laggards until the end of the year to make up their quotas.
“Only very few of them are likely to be able to achieve this though, either because of limited capacities (especially Angola and Nigeria) or because of sanctions (Russia),” wrote commodities analyst Carsten Fritsch at Commerzbank in a research note. “The question therefore is whether countries with spare capacities such as Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates will be allowed to step into the breach.”
Yet doubts have spread in the market about exactly how much spare capacity even the Saudis or the UAE have. And for those two to increase their market share at the expense of other cartel members might be a tough sell.
As of May, surplus production capacity in non-OPEC countries decreased by 80% compared with 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Surplus capacity is oil production that can be brought online within 30 days and sustained for at least 90 days. In 2021, about 60% of the surplus production capacity was in Russia, but much of that was eliminated as of May 2022 due to sanctions, the agency said.
Russia’s war in Ukraine is contributing to high oil prices fueling inflation around the world. At a summit of the Group of Seven leading economies this week, the U.S. pushed for a price cap on Russian oil imports to try to blunt the price spikes and reduce money from oil sales flowing into the Kremlin’s war chest.
The European Union, a key importer of Russian energy, also has approved a ban on 90% of Russian oil imports by year’s end.
After the OPEC+ meeting, U.S. benchmark oil traded down 0.7% on the day, to $109.09 per barrel. That is more than 40% higher than at the start of the year. International benchmark Brent crude drifted 0.4% lower, to $115.83 per barrel. | https://www.informnny.com/news/world-news/opec-may-not-be-much-help-with-high-oil-gasoline-prices/ | 2022-07-01T00:55:26Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/world-news/opec-may-not-be-much-help-with-high-oil-gasoline-prices/ | true | 30 |

WATCH: Neeraj Chopra shatter own national record and miss 90m by a whisker, finish 2nd in Stockholm Diamond League
Neeraj Chopra's other throws measured 84.37m, 87.46m, 84.77m, 86.67 and 86.84m. He bettered his earlier national record of 89.30m, which his spear had travelled while finishing second in the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, on June 14.

Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra clinched his first top-3 finish at the prestigious Diamond League Meeting with a national record-shattering effort but missed the 90m mark by a whisker in a star-studded field in Stockholm on Thursday (June 30). The 24-year-old Chopra opened with a stunning throw of 89.94m, just 6cm shy of the 90m mark, the gold standard in the world of javelin throw and that effort eventually turned out to be his best as he finished second.
His other throws measured 84.37m, 87.46m, 84.77m, 86.67 and 86.84m. He bettered his earlier national record of 89.30m, which his spear had travelled while finishing second in the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, on June 14. World champion and season leader Anderson Peters of Grenada won the competition with a best throw of 90.31m which he came up with in this third attempt.
“Today, I feel good and after first throw, I thought I could throw even over 90m today. But it is OK as I have more competitions coming this year,” Chopra said after the event. “I am close to 90m now and I can throw it this year. Despite the fact that I did not win tonight, I feel very good because I did my best.”
Peters has thrown 90m-plus twice this season – 93.07m while winning the Doha leg of the Diamond League last month before 90.75m effort at Hengelo in the Netherlands. Julian Weber of Germany was third with a fifth round throw of 89.08m while Tokyo Olympic silver medallist Jakub Vadlejch (88.59m) of Czech Republic was fourth.
Another Czech athlete and Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Vitezslav Vesely was seventh in the eight-man field with 82.57m. Chopra has beaten Peters twice this month -- in Turku where the athlete from Grenada was third and in the Kuortane Games, also in Finalnd, where the Indian superstar had won gold with a best throw of 86.69m under wet and slippery conditions.

It felt amazing to be back on the Diamond League circuit and even better to get a new PB!
All the throwers put up a great show tonight for the crowd in Stockholm!
Next stop Representing at the World Championships in Eugene pic.twitter.com/OpiXyrp4wv — Neeraj Chopra (@Neeraj_chopra1) June 30, 2022
Chopra’s first throw had raised hopes of him scripting history of becoming the first Indian to win a Diamond League event. Nonetheless, he became the second Indian to finish in top-three in a Diamond League competition after discus thrower Vikas Gowda. The 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Gowda, who retired in 2017, had finished in top-three in a Diamond League event four times in his career. He had finished second in 2012 (New York) and 2014 (Doha) and third in Shanghai and Eugene in 2015.
Chopra was making his first Diamond League appearance in four years after his fourth-place finish in Zurich in August 2018. He has taken part in seven Diamond League meets -- three in 2017 and four in 2018. The prestigious one-day meet at the Swedish capital is Chopra's biggest event ahead of the World Championships in Eugene, USA, from July 15-24.
The next Diamond League Meeting where javelin throw is in the programme is in Monaco on August 10. It could not be confirmed whether Chopra will take part in it as it will happen just a few days after the Birmingham CWG (July 28 to August 8) where he will be defending his title.
Germany’s Johannes Vetter, who has the maximum number of 90-plus throws among the active throwers, continued to be on the sidelines. He is not fully fit and had also missed the German nationals.

OTTAWA (AP) — Canada’s chief public health officer is warning of a possible COVID-19 resurgence in the fall and winter.
Theresa Tam said Thursday the circulating omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 are even more transmissible and able to evade immunity than previous versions, making a rise in cases likely in coming weeks.
Tam and federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos stressed the importance of up-to-date vaccination status, noting 40% of Canadians still have not received a booster following their primary two shots, putting Canada behind other G7 countries when it comes to three doses.
“As cases go up… in some areas of Canada, getting that booster, if you haven’t had it, now would be quite important, in particular going into the fall,″ Tam said.
The National Advisory Committee on Immunization has advised jurisdictions to prepare to offer another round of shots to people at increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness, regardless of the number of booster doses they’ve already received.
Tam said new vaccines tailored to omicron are in development but have not yet been evaluated by Canada’s drug regulator. She said officials are still waiting for data on what new protection the so-called bivalent vaccines could offer. | https://www.wtrf.com/news/health/ap-health/canada-official-warns-of-possible-covid-resurgence-ahead/ | 2022-07-01T00:57:38Z | https://www.wtrf.com/news/health/ap-health/canada-official-warns-of-possible-covid-resurgence-ahead/ | true | 31 |

Massive Brawl Breaks Out On Incoming Carnival Cruise to New York
In another instance of life getting back to normal, officials say a huge brawl broke out on a cruise ship that was set to dock in New York Tuesday. The cruise industry was hit pretty hard during the time COVID levels were high, and health experts advised the public to maybe reconsider their next trip. But now people are back, and it appears are back to acting like they would normally would.
*** Update: The New York Post is reporting that the fight started over allegations of a threesome between passengers. A travel agent said that the altercation lasted about an hour, and went from the 5th floor down to the 1st flor of the ship***
Huge Brawl
The New York Post says that the fight started between two people on a nightclub dance floor early Tuesday morning. But it didn't just end with two people who started it. WNBC estimates that as many as 40 to 60 people got involved, which prompted a Coast Guard escort after Carnival Magic security were unable to contain the battle royal. Coast Guard notified the NYPD, who were waiting when the ship docked at Pier 88.
It is not exactly certain what got the whole fight going to begin with, though PIX 11 says the melee only got worse when more got involved.
Man Steals Yacht in NY and Sails to Another State
So why would you want to steal a nearly 50-foot yacht when you're already a wanted fugitive? Police say a 56-year-old man stole the $1.2 million dollar yacht from Rouses Point Marina and set sail for the high seas. According to the NY Post, he even sailed the stolen vessel on Lake Champlain from New York to Vermont, attracting the attention of the US Border Patrol. But this suspect claims he had his reasons.
Remember this story from June 2021? Well, seems this guy just wanted to "test drive" the Jeanneau Prestige 500, and make some "mechanical fixes". WCAX is reporting that's what the suspect told authorities at a hearing after being arrested off the coast of St. Albans, Vermont. How nice of him to check up on the ship. WCAX goes on to say that the man has a rap sheet that spreads in New England, and was already a wanted fugitive in the state of New Hampshire.
WCAX reports that this wannabe captain of the ship was very vocal during this hearing with officials and even went so far as to make an inappropriate gesture at the camera for good measure as he left. | https://wpdh.com/massive-brawl-breaks-out-on-incoming-carnival-cruise-to-new-york/ | 2022-07-01T00:59:27Z | https://wpdh.com/massive-brawl-breaks-out-on-incoming-carnival-cruise-to-new-york/ | true | 1 |

“The King of Hopewell Pizza”: New Pizzeria Open in the Hudson Valley
They say when your ears are ringing, it means someone is talking about you. For me, it means someone is talking about a new pizzeria.
New Pizzeria in Hopewell Junction, NY
I grew up in the Hudson Valley, but before moving back to the area in 2021, I've been living in different places across the United States for the past decade. Every time I relocated, I would try, and inevitably fail, to find pizza that lived up to the kind I used to wolf down in my hometown. Was I a snob? No, I'm just a New Yorker with standards. That's why a recent Facebook post in the East Fishkill Community group caught my eye.
Pan and Peel Pizza, Hopewell Junction, NY
"Pan and Peel is the king of Hopewell pizza right now", the post began. "Just opened (old Brooklyn boys spot). Amazing thin charred crust., fresh mozz, You can easily eat a whole pie". I had to read the post twice because it seemed to check every single personal pizza requirement I have. Thin crispy undercrust is a must. Classic mozzarella cheese is too. Living in St. Louis, I was introduced to the abhorrent Provel cheese on their pizza that residents swore by. Thank god I'm back in the Hudson Valley.
Early Reviews
Peel and Pan is so new that their phone system wasn't even set up at the time of the Facebook post. That didn't stop other Dutchess County residents from chiming in. "Took your advice. Got the hot honey and plain", another pizza enthusiast commented, "totally insane... Phenomenal pizza." An even more passionate pizza-head added, "that was some GREAT pizza!. Holy sh*t. I highly recommend every[one] try this place out." With reviews like that on the first week, it won't be long before I'm pulling up to try, too. Check out the menu and location here.
Businesses Opening in the Hudson Valley
It's a welcome sign that more and more businesses are opening in the Hudson Valley. Restaurants were one of the industries that was hit particularly hard by the pandemic, so whether it's a classic institution that is now reopening or a brand new business like a brewery or Pan and Peel, it's great to see commerce returning to our area.

Fear of backlash puts spanner in works for Grid’s cable network
National Grid has been forced to delay the publication of cabling plans for connecting offshore wind farms after the government raised concerns about opposition from MPs.
The company’s electricity system operator division had been planning to launch its “holistic network design” yesterday, setting out its recommendations for developing Britain’s power networks to accommodate the planned expansion of offshore wind.
Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, and Jonathan Brearley, Ofgem chief executive, had been due to attend the National Grid division’s control room in Wokingham, Berkshire — an event that the system operator unit executives had told staff was “a significant endorsement at the highest level of government for the work we have been doing”.

Kevin Durant may be taking his quest for more titles elsewhere.
Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, according to a person with direct knowledge of the decision that undoubtedly will have teams scrambling to put together offers for the perennial All-Star.
The Nets have been working with Durant to find a trade partner, and he has multiple teams on his preferred list, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because neither the player nor Brooklyn revealed any details publicly.
ESPN first reported Durant’s trade request, citing Phoenix and Miami as two of his preferred destinations. The bombshell came just hours before the NBA’s free-agent period for this summer was set to begin.
Durant is a 12-time All-Star, four-time scoring champion, three-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time NBA champion — those rings coming with Golden State, the team he was with before joining Brooklyn. He has four years and nearly $200 million remaining on his contract, which means that it may take a haul of players, draft picks or possibly both for a team to acquire him.
Durant has played 14 seasons, not including one year when he sat out while recovering from a torn Achilles. He has averaged 27.2 points in his career — over that span, only LeBron James, at 27.3 points per game, has averaged more.
And even at his age — Durant will turn 34 on Sept. 29, around the time training camps open this fall — he is still one of the best players in the game, his 6-foot-10 frame making his jump shot almost unstoppable by any defender.
Durant spent three seasons with Brooklyn, not playing in the first of those years while he recovered from the Achilles injury. He averaged 29.9 points in 55 games last season, after leading the U.S. to Olympic gold at the Tokyo Games last summer.
Unless he changes his mind and stays, his departure will be a huge blow to the Nets. At this time last year, the Nets were banking on contending for a championship with a core led by Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving.
That plan didn’t come close to reality. Irving missed much of the year because of his refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19; he was ineligible to play in home games for the majority of the season. Harden wound up getting traded to Philadelphia for Ben Simmons, who didn’t play at all last season. Durant led Brooklyn into the playoffs, where it was swept in the first round by eventual Eastern Conference champion Boston.
And the offseason hasn’t exactly been calm for the Nets, either. Irving’s future was a major question mark until he decided to exercise his $37 million option earlier this week to remain with Brooklyn this coming season.
Now, Durant wants out, and the Nets will either have to change his mind or go ahead with moves that will overhaul their team.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings have hired Derek Lalonde to coach their rebuilding team, hoping the two-time Stanley Cup-winning assistant can make all the right moves to make the franchise relevant again.
Lalonde spent the past four years on Jon Cooper’s staff with the Tampa Bay Lightning, a stretch that included championships in 2020 and ’21 and, most recently, a third consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
“He has proven himself as an excellent coach at every level and has spent the last four seasons in the National Hockey League as part of a very successful program in Tampa Bay,” general manager Steve Yzerman said in a statement. “We feel he is ready to take the next step in his career as the head coach of the Detroit Red Wings.”
Yzerman was GM of the Lightning when he promoted Cooper to his first NHL head-coaching job in 2013. It’s the first time an active assistant of Cooper’s has jumped to a head job in the NHL.
“I’m ready to get to work with our group,” Lalonde said in a statement. “There’s a very bright future ahead in Detroit.”
Lalonde, 49, like Cooper won a United States Hockey League title with the Green Bay Gamblers. He coached in the ECHL and American Hockey League before joining the Lightning.
After a two-month search, Lalonde replaces Jeff Blashill, who did not have the team option on his contract picked up after seven seasons. Blashill had a .447 points percentage, the second-worst in the league over that time — not counting the debut season of the expansion Seattle Kraken.
Yzerman didn’t reveal much when he spoke to reporters early in the search, but he did say that being familiar with the new man in charge would be a plus.
“Derek has an impressive resume, particularly the work he’s done with young players and prospects throughout his career,” president and CEO Chris Ilitch said in a statement. “We’re excited to have him leading the charge behind the Red Wings bench. I’d also like to commend Steve and his staff for conducting a very thorough and detailed search process”
Detroit has not earned a spot in the playoffs for six consecutive years after being in 25 straight postseasons and winning the Stanley Cup four times. But Lalonde does have some players potentially capable of leading a turnaround.
Veterans Dylan Larkin, Tyler Bertuzzi and Jakub Vrana are proven players up front, and Lucas Raymond, who was also a standout rookie last season, is a promising forward joining them in the lineup.
Calder Trophy winner Moritz Seider is set to anchor the defense for years to come, filling a void that has not been addressed since Nicklas Lidstrom retired a decade ago.
Yzerman, a Hall of Fame player with the Red Wings, has a hand-picked coach for the first time with the once-proud franchise he’s leading.
After drafting and acquiring talent to turn Tampa Bay into a two-time champion and perennial contender, Yzerman has consistently said it will take time to make Detroit a winner again and has refused to put timelines on the rebuild.
Lalonde, as quickly as he can, will shoot to aim to address the Red Wings’ shortcomings next season with relative stability after Blashill coached in recent years with job uncertainty.

TMW – Rosella Sensi: “Cristiano Ronaldo? Chapeau, but in Rome the team counts more than the single”
tmw
On the sidelines of the event in Rimini for the presentation of the summer transfer market session, Rosella Sensi spoke of Rome: “An advice to Rome for Zaniolo? I am very close to the club but I take the liberty of not giving advice. In my time I have received many, too many, some even wrong ones and I believe that to make decisions you have to be president at 360 °. Zaniolo is an excellent player, I believe that the president will make the best choice for Roma. ”
Any advice to Zaniolo?
“Understanding that he is not playing for any team but for Roma”.
Do you still imagine Totti in the management?
“They are choices of the president and Francesco. I respect them. At the time I decided to let Francesco and his career as a manager continue, but they are choices that belong to whoever is now”.
Dybala to Roma?
“I follow the transfer market, but I don’t know. We have to see what the player expects to come to play for Roma. I see you as if I were a president, I always see myself on the other side of the negotiation and I wonder if Dybala wants to come to Roma. . There is a sports director and he will decide. ”
Mourinho brought back a trophy. Now what is being asked of him?
“Nothing, you have to let it work. When you create too many expectations you don’t reach the objectives, you need peace of mind and with a good job you can reach the objectives”.
Can Cristiano Ronaldo go to Roma?
“Yesterday everyone was sure that there was his presentation, but there was not. The owner surprised us with Mourinho, whether he comes or not we expect him to build a good team to make a good championship. the group that makes the difference, even if Ronaldo … chapeau “.
What idea did you have of Pellegrini?
“Seeing him raise the Conference trophy was a wonderful emotion. He is a Roman who raises the cup, it is a double joy. Young people can grow up, wear the Roma shirt and become captain. It is a good business card for our young people. “. | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/30/tmw-rosella-sensi-cristiano-ronaldo-chapeau-but-in-rome-the-team-counts-more-than-the-single-2/ | 2022-07-01T01:25:28Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/06/30/tmw-rosella-sensi-cristiano-ronaldo-chapeau-but-in-rome-the-team-counts-more-than-the-single-2/ | false | 2 |

We all know the story of 14-year-old Emmett Till, the vicious white monsters who tortured and killed him, and the racist white woman who set it all in motion. We know the white men were acquitted of the murder and that they admitted to it later but died before either of them would ever be held accountable (not that they likely would have been if they lived). We also know that Black America has been calling for the arrest of Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman whose lies and racism got a Black chile brutally lynched.
What we didn’t know, however, is that in 1955, a warrant for Donham’s arrest was actually drawn but never served. She could have been arrested and charged in connection to Emmett’s death, but America chose to be America instead.
According to the Associated Press, a team searching a Mississippi courthouse basement for new evidence regarding Emmett’s lynching found the unserved warrant charging Donham in his kidnapping and now members of Emmett’s family are calling for the warrant to finally be served.
From AP:
A warrant for the arrest of Carolyn Bryant Donham — identified as “Mrs. Roy Bryant” on the document — was discovered last week by searchers inside a file folder that had been placed in a box, Leflore County Circuit Clerk Elmus Stockstill told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Documents are kept inside boxes by decade, he said, but there was nothing else to indicate where the warrant, dated Aug. 29, 1955, might have been.
“They narrowed it down between the ’50s and ’60s and got lucky,” said Stockstill, who certified the warrant as genuine.
The search group included members of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, Keith Beauchamp, the creator of The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till—a documentary that prompted a new Justice Department probe into Emmett’s killing, which ended in 2007 with no charges being filed—and two of Emmett’s relatives, Legacy Foundation leader Deborah Watts and her daughter, Teri Watts.
“Serve it and charge her,” Teri told AP. “This is what the state of Mississippi needs to go ahead.”
Some legal experts appear to be skeptical that anything will come of this discovery, but they don’t seem to think it’s absolutely hopeless.
More from AP:
Arrest warrants can “go stale” due to the passage of time and changing circumstances, and one from 1955 almost certainly wouldn’t pass muster before a court, even if a sheriff agreed to serve it, said Ronald J. Rychlak, a law professor at the University of Mississippi.
But combined with any new evidence, the original arrest warrant “absolutely” could be an important stepping stone toward establishing probable cause for a new prosecution, he said.
“If you went in front of a judge you could say, ‘Once upon a time a judge determined there was probable cause, and much more information is available today,’” Rychlak said.
Then there’s the question of why the warrant, which also named Emmett’s killers, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, was never served at the time it was drawn. Of course, it’s a question with a predictable answer: Law enforcement just didn’t care about a dead Black child. According to AP, “the Leflore County sheriff told reporters he did not want to ‘bother’ the woman since she had two young children to care for.”
On Wednesday, the current Leflore County Sheriff, Ricky Banks, told AP he had no knowledge of the newly discovered warrant, but he “will see if I can get a copy of the warrant and get with the DA and get their opinion on it.”
I’m just going to go ahead and say that Black America shouldn’t hold its breath in hopes that an old white woman in her 80s will finally be brought to justice for causing Emmett Till’s merciless death, but that doesn’t mean we should quit calling for it.
“Serve it and charge her.” And convict her at last.

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Starting tomorrow, some shoppers will get a tax break, especially if those shoppers are women.
Last year, Governor John Bel Edwards signed House Bill 7 into law, and tomorrow, the sales tax exemption on feminine hygiene products and diapers, for babies and adults, will finally go into effect.
District 98 State Representative Aimee Adatto Freeman (D-New Orleans) authored the bill. She says unlike many other essential health products that are available tax-free, items like diapers and tampons were not exempt from the state’s 4.45% sales tax.
“We need menstrual products, and it’s not something we can choose,” said Freeman. “You need them every month, and if you’re raising children, or if you’re taking care of an elderly relative or a special needs child, you need those diapers every month.”
Some women say it’s the perfect time for this tax exemption to become a law.
“Well, it’s certainly been a long time coming, and it’s really wonderful, especially at a time right now where everybody’s watching their dollars, and inflation is a part of everyone’s family budget,” said shopper Julia Bland.
According to Freeman, taxes on these items unfairly burdened women and families living in poverty who may be forced to choose one item over the other.
“For me, it was a fight for everybody across the state,” said Freeman. “There are so many families who live on small-budget margins where having little bit less tax to pay on their monthly bill will actually put money into their pockets, and so that matters a lot to me that it’s statewide.”
Although many women will benefit from the tax exemption, other shoppers will get a break as well.
“Right, absolutely, I mean, sort of from the beginning to the end, there are needs that we have, and it makes an awful lot of sense, a real consideration,” said Bland.
Coinciding with the law taking effect, Representative Freeman will be partnering with Junior League of New Orleans to collect feminine hygiene products and diapers.
If you’d like to drop off a donation, you can drop off items at the headquarters, located at 4319 Carondelet Street, during business hours, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
If you’d like to find out how you can benefit from the drive, contact the Junior League of New Orleans. | https://wgno.com/news/no-more-state-sales-tax-on-womens-products-and-diapers/ | 2022-07-01T01:30:16Z | https://wgno.com/news/no-more-state-sales-tax-on-womens-products-and-diapers/ | false | 9 |

A MARTINEZ, HOST:
A federal jury has convicted more officers in the largest corruption case in the history of the Navy. Steve Walsh with member station KPBS in San Diego reports.
STEVE WALSH, BYLINE: Four former naval officers were convicted for their role in helping Malaysian contractor Leonard Francis defraud the government out of at least $35 million. Rachel VanLandingham is a former Air Force officer who teaches at Southwestern Law in LA.
RACHEL VANLANDINGHAM: That's what this case is really about, is how easily Navy souls were sold, Navy honor were sold for prostitutes, for lavish dinners, for money over American interests.
WALSH: After deliberating for nearly two weeks, the jury deadlocked on whether to convict the fifth officer on trial. Like the others, retired Rear Admiral Bruce Loveless was charged with accepting bribes and conspiracy. Loveless is among the highest-ranking officers to be caught up in the wide-ranging corruption probe which lasted nearly a decade.
VANLANDINGHAM: The military has been the last bastion of our heroes. Oh, they took a couple of gifts. Oh, it's just boys being boys. And in fact, that's part of the insidious nature of the crimes that were ongoing here. They became almost normalized. This is just the way we do business in this part of the world. That's all OK.
WALSH: A generation of officers who served in the Pacific came under scrutiny after Francis was arrested in San Diego in 2013. Loveless was the second admiral charged. Rear Admiral Robert Gilbeau became the first sitting admiral to ever be charged in federal court. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2018. A no-decision in one high-profile case doesn't take away from the enormity of the scandal, VanLandingham says.
VANLANDINGHAM: They were willing to trade away classified information, trade away proprietary information that enabled a foreign contractor to defraud the U.S. government. How can we trust those in the Navy? How can we trust that our national security is actually appropriately being looked after?
WALSH: The man dubbed Fat Leonard because of his size pleaded guilty in 2015 to bribing U.S. Navy officers to help steer ships to his ports in the western Pacific, where he routinely overcharged the Navy. With Wednesday's verdicts, a total of 33 current and former Navy officials have been found guilty or pleaded guilty in what's seen as the largest scandal in Navy history.

The One Housing Chart That Shows A ‘Buyer’s Market’ Has Returned
June 30, 2022 | Tags: ZEROHEDGE
The One Housing Chart That Shows A 'Buyer's Market' Has ReturnedThe red hot pandemic-era housing market is cooling as historically tight available inventory shows signs of reversing.
An affordability crisis has removed millions of new home buyers as the number of active US listings soared 18.7% in June from a year earlier, the most significant increase in Realtor.com's data going back to 2017, according to Bloomberg. The days of insane bidding wars, waiving home inspections, and putting in an offer 20% or more over the list price appear to be over. In other words, a buyer's market could be emerging.
"While we anticipate that more inventory will eventually cool the feverish pace of competition, the typical buyer has yet to see meaningful relief from quick-selling homes and record-high asking prices," said Danielle Hale, chief economist for Realtor.com.
Austin, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; and Raleigh, North Carolina saw active listings more than double from a year ago. Nashville, Tennessee, active listings jumped 86%, and 72% in the Riverside, California.
The Federal Reserve's most aggressive tightening campaign sent the 30-year fixed-loan mortgage rate from 3% to over 6% this year (back in March, we warned coming rate explosion would trigger a housing affordability crisis), removing millions of new home buyers who can't afford the cost of homeownership as the median existing-home sales price was around $407k in May.
Even though inventory is historically tight, supply is expected to increase in markets across the country as demand for loan applications among prospective buyers slumps. Fewer buyers equal more inventory.
The takeaway is that inventory is rising as homes stay on the market longer because demand evaporated thanks to the housing affordability crisis -- this could mean a housing top is nearing. | https://freedombunker.com/2022/06/30/the-one-housing-chart-that-shows-a-buyers-market-has-returned/ | 2022-07-01T02:00:23Z | https://freedombunker.com/2022/06/30/the-one-housing-chart-that-shows-a-buyers-market-has-returned/ | false | 2 |
