Bristol Myers Squibb Co. on Tuesday said the European Commission approved a trio of applications seeking expanded approval of its blockbuster cancer drug Opdivo.
The New York biopharmaceutical company said the commission approved Opdivo for the adjuvant treatment of adults with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma with tumor cell PD-L1 expression >=1% who are at a high risk of recurrence after undergoing radical resection, making it the first adjuvant immunotherapy option approved for patients in the European Union in this setting.
Bristol Myers said the commission also approved Opdivo in combination with chemotherapy and in combination with the company's cancer drug Yervoy for the first-line treatment of adults with unresectable advanced, recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with tumor cell PD-L1 expression >= 1%.
The two Opdivo-based combination treatments have shown a superior survival benefit to chemotherapy alone in this group of patients, the company said.
Opdivo, which harnesses the body's own immune system to fight cancer, is currently approved in more than 65 countries across a number of cancers and generated more than $7.5 billion in revenue last year.

Bristol Myers BMY announced that the European Commission (EC) approved a label expansion of its blockbuster drug Opdivo (nivolumab)-based combinations for several indications.
The drug has been approved in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable advanced, recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with tumor cell PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%.
The EC’s decision is based on the phase III CheckMate -648 study wherein Opdivo with chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically significant overall survival (OS) benefit compared with chemotherapy alone at the pre-specified interim analysis.
The regulatory body also approved Opdivo in combination with Yervoy (ipilimumab) for the first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable advanced, recurrent or metastatic ESCC with tumor cell PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%.
The EC also approved Opdivo for the adjuvant treatment of adults with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma with tumor cell PD-L1 expression ≥1% who are at a high risk of recurrence after undergoing radical resection.
This approval was based on the phase III CheckMate -274 study results, which showed that adjuvant treatment with Opdivo significantly reduced patients’ risk of disease recurrence or death compared with placebo.
Per the company, Opdivo is now the first and only adjuvant immunotherapy option approved in this setting in the European Union.
Consequently, Opdivo has now been approved for the adjuvant treatment of three different carcinoma types in the EU — urothelial carcinoma, melanoma and esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer. In addition, BMY has a broad development program in earlier stages of cancer that currently spans eight different tumor types across the neoadjuvant, adjuvant and peri-operative settings.
The performance of immuno-oncology drug Opdivo, approved for multiple cancer indications, revived after a slowdown early in 2021. Opdivo is one of the top revenue generators for BMY and the continued label expansion of the drug for additional indications should further boost its growth potential.
Shares of Bristol Myers have rallied 20.1% year to date against the industry’s decline of 10.9%.

The FDA recently approved a new, first-in-class, fixed-dose combination of Opdivo and relatlimab (novel LAG-3-blocking antibody) administered as a single intravenous infusion for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age or older with unresectable or metastatic melanoma (a kind of skin cancer). The drug is approved under the brand name Opdualag.
The approval of these new drugs adds a revenue stream, which should boost growth in the coming quarters.
In 2021, Bristol Myers obtained 20 approvals for new drugs and additional indications and formulations of currently marketed drugs in major markets, including regulatory approvals of Breyanzi and Abecma in hematology malignancies. The FDA approval of Zeposia for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active UC has expanded the company’s portfolio in immunology. Bristol Myers is also developing deucravacitinib, its TYK2 inhibitor, for the treatment of psoriasis and other immune-mediated diseases.
BMY expanded its leading cardiovascular franchise with the addition of mavacamten from the acquisition of MyoKardia in 2020.
However, competition is also stiff for Opdivo from the likes of Merck’s MRK Keytruda. The drug, approved for various oncology indications, is the key driver for MRK.
Additional label expansion of Keytruda will boost Merck’s top line.
Bristol-Myers currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). A few better-ranked stocks in the biotech sector are Voyager Therapeutics VYGR and VistaGen Therapeutics VTGN, both carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Bristol Myers Squibb BMY announced that the FDA has approved Opdivo (nivolumab) combinations for yet another indication.
The regulatory body approved the drug (injection for intravenous use) in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy as a first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) regardless of PD-L1 status.
Concurrently, Opdivo in combination with Yervoy (ipilimumab) was also approved for the same indication by the FDA.
The approvals are based on the phase III CheckMate -648 trial, which evaluated Opdivo in combination with chemotherapy and Opdivo plus Yervoy, each compared to chemotherapy alone. Data showed that Opdivo in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated superior overall survival (OS) compared to chemotherapy alone, both in all randomized patients.
Opdivo plus Yervoy also improved OS compared to chemotherapy in all-randomized patients, indicating the secondary endpoint while patients whose tumors express PD-L1 (≥1%), denoted the primary endpoint.
Opdivo either alone or in combination with chemotherapy or Yervoy is already approved for various indications. Opdivo plus Yervoy is approved for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) among others.
Opdivo is one of the top revenue generators for BMY and the continued label expansion of the drug for additional indications should further boost growth. In particular, demand for the drug to treat first-line lung, renal and gastric cancer as well as adjuvant esophageal and bladder cancers boosted its growth.
Opdivo and Yervoy continued their growth trajectory in the first quarter of 2022 and recorded a double-digit rise on continued demand for its newly-launched indications.
Shares of Bristol Myers have rallied 22.1% year to date against the industry’s decline of 22%.

The FDA earlier approved a new, first-in-class, fixed-dose combination of Opdivo and relatlimab (novel LAG-3-blocking antibody), administered as a single intravenous infusion to treat adult and pediatric patients, aged 12 years and above with unresectable or metastatic melanoma (a kind of skin cancer).
The drug is approved under the brand name Opdualag.
Approval of these new drugs adds a revenue stream, which should bolster growth in the coming quarters and counter the adverse impact of generic competition for the lead drug Revlimid.
The FDA also approved cardiovascular drug Camzyos (mavacamten, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg capsules) for the treatment of adults with symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (obstructive HCM) to improve functional capacity and symptoms.
However, competition is stiff for Opdivo from the likes of Merck’s MRK blockbuster drug Keytruda. Approved for various oncology indications, Keytruda is MRK’s key driver.
Continued label expansions of the drug drove Merck’s top line.
Bristol Myers currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Two better-ranked stocks are Alkermes ALKS and Geron Corporation GERN. While Alkermes sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Geron has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
ALKS’ loss estimates for 2022 have narrowed to 3 cents from a loss of 14 cents in the past 60 days. Alkermes surpassed on earnings in all the trailing four quarters, the average being 350.48%.

https://www.kark.com/reviews/br/lawn-garden-br/tools-br-lawn-garden-br/woodworking-tools-br/best-cheap-wood-chipper/ | Which cheap wood chipper is best?
If you’ve ever had to get rid of a lot of yard waste, you know just how much of a hassle it can be. Long branches don’t easily fit in garbage bins, and even when they do, they leave a lot of space that prevents you from filling the bin. The last thing you want is to have a large pile of branches that you have to throw out little by little, week by week.
Wood chippers get rid of that hassle. They cut branches down to a fraction of their original size, which means you get a lot more into a yard waste bin without any wasted space. You can also use the cut-up pieces of wood as decorative mulch for your garden beds.
The biggest barrier to purchasing a wood chipper for most people is the associated cost. You’ll be happy to know, though, that there are plenty of cheap wood chippers that don’t dig too deeply into your wallet. The Sun Joe CJ603E is one such model. It can quickly handle branches up to 1.7 inches in diameter and comes with a collection bag that makes it easy to keep all the waste contained.
What to know before you buy a cheap wood chipper
Gas vs. electric wood chippers
Wood chippers come in both gas and electric models, each offering its own set of pros and cons. If you need the ability to process a lot of branches quickly, gas models are the way to go. They tend to have larger hoppers, produce more cuts per minute and can handle larger diameter branches. The cons are that they are large, heavy, loud and expensive. They also require regular maintenance and release carbon monoxide into the air, which is bad for the environment.
Electric wood chippers are the better choice for most homeowners because they are smaller, more easily portable, more affordable, cleaner and quieter. They also require very little maintenance. They aren’t as powerful as gas models, though, and cannot process as thick of branches. You also can’t use them in locations where you don’t have access to a power outlet.
Safety tips for using a wood chipper
Wood chippers are very useful tools, but they can also be very dangerous if not used with proper care and caution. Before using any wood chipper, carefully read the entire instruction manual to ensure you know how to operate the machine and what to do if you encounter any jams. Always wear safety glasses when using a wood chipper, and it is a good idea also to consider wearing gloves, ear protection and a face shield.
When the chipper is operating, never look down the chute or put your hands anywhere inside of the hopper. It is best to keep kids and pets out of the immediate area since they could potentially hurt themselves or distract you enough that you make a potentially dangerous mistake.
What to look for in a quality cheap wood chipper
Capacity
When considering the capacity of a wood chipper, you need to look at two factors: the hopper size and the maximum diameter of branches it can accept. Most electric wood chippers can accept branches between 1.5 and 2 inches in diameter. Gas models may accept branches up to 3 inches in diameter.
The hopper size determines how many branches you can safely feed into a machine at one time. The larger the hopper is, the quicker you can get through large piles of branches. Like with diameter, gas-powered models tend to have larger hoppers than electric wood chippers.
Reduction ratio
The reduction ratio refers to how small the material will be after passing through your chipper compared to its original size. For example, a 12 to one reduction ratio will reduce yard waste to one-twelfth its original size. The reduction ratio of wood chippers varies greatly from machine to machine and ranges from as low as eight to one up to 20 to one.
Adjustable discharge chute
More commonly found in large gas wood chippers than electric models, an adjustable discharge chute allows you to direct the waste to wherever is most convenient for your purposes.
Collection bag or bin
As with an adjustable discharge chute, an included collection bag or bin, or one that you can purchase, makes for a more convenient clean-up. These either attach directly to or sit just below the discharge chute.
Portability
To get the most efficient use out of your wood chipper, you need the ability to move it to wherever you are, cutting down the majority of the branches. This means portability should be a priority. Various factors should be looked at when considering how easily portable a particular wood chipper is, including the type and size of the wheels, the handles and the overall weight and size of the machine.
How much you can expect to spend on a cheap wood chipper
For a cheap electric wood chipper, you can expect to spend between $100-$300. Gas models are considerably more expensive, with any models costing $500-$750 considered cheap.
Cheap wood chipper FAQ
Do wood chipper blades need to be resharpened?
A. Like all blades, wood chipper blades also get dull from use. Most manufacturers recommend resharpening the blades after every six to eight hours of use. While this might not sound like a lot, the actual cutting process of a wood chipper is very short, so six to eight hours of use is often more than a year or two for the average user.
Why is my wood chipper constantly getting clogged?
A. If your wood chipper is getting clogged often, more than likely, you are trying to feed branches that are too large for it to handle or a lot of wet leaves and green branches.
What’s the best cheap wood chipper to buy?

If you’ve ever had to get rid of a lot of yard waste, you know just how much of a hassle it can be. Long branches don’t easily fit in garbage bins, and even when they do, they leave a lot of space that prevents you from filling the bin. The last thing you want is to have a large pile of branches that you have to throw out little by little, week by week.
Wood chippers get rid of that hassle. They cut branches down to a fraction of their original size, which means you get a lot more into a yard waste bin without any wasted space. You can also use the cut-up pieces of wood as decorative mulch for your garden beds.
The biggest barrier to purchasing a wood chipper for most people is the associated cost. You’ll be happy to know, though, that there are plenty of cheap wood chippers that don’t dig too deeply into your wallet. The Sun Joe CJ603E is one such model. It can quickly handle branches up to 1.7 inches in diameter and comes with a collection bag that makes it easy to keep all the waste contained.
What to know before you buy a cheap wood chipper
Gas vs. electric wood chippers
Wood chippers come in both gas and electric models, each offering its own set of pros and cons. If you need the ability to process a lot of branches quickly, gas models are the way to go. They tend to have larger hoppers, produce more cuts per minute and can handle larger diameter branches. The cons are that they are large, heavy, loud and expensive. They also require regular maintenance and release carbon monoxide into the air, which is bad for the environment.
Electric wood chippers are the better choice for most homeowners because they are smaller, more easily portable, more affordable, cleaner and quieter. They also require very little maintenance. They aren’t as powerful as gas models, though, and cannot process as thick of branches. You also can’t use them in locations where you don’t have access to a power outlet.
Safety tips for using a wood chipper
Wood chippers are very useful tools, but they can also be very dangerous if not used with proper care and caution. Before using any wood chipper, carefully read the entire instruction manual to ensure you know how to operate the machine and what to do if you encounter any jams. Always wear safety glasses when using a wood chipper, and it is a good idea also to consider wearing gloves, ear protection and a face shield.
When the chipper is operating, never look down the chute or put your hands anywhere inside of the hopper. It is best to keep kids and pets out of the immediate area since they could potentially hurt themselves or distract you enough that you make a potentially dangerous mistake.
What to look for in a quality cheap wood chipper
Capacity
When considering the capacity of a wood chipper, you need to look at two factors: the hopper size and the maximum diameter of branches it can accept. Most electric wood chippers can accept branches between 1.5 and 2 inches in diameter. Gas models may accept branches up to 3 inches in diameter.
The hopper size determines how many branches you can safely feed into a machine at one time. The larger the hopper is, the quicker you can get through large piles of branches. Like with diameter, gas-powered models tend to have larger hoppers than electric wood chippers.
Reduction ratio
The reduction ratio refers to how small the material will be after passing through your chipper compared to its original size. For example, a 12 to one reduction ratio will reduce yard waste to one-twelfth its original size. The reduction ratio of wood chippers varies greatly from machine to machine and ranges from as low as eight to one up to 20 to one.
Adjustable discharge chute
More commonly found in large gas wood chippers than electric models, an adjustable discharge chute allows you to direct the waste to wherever is most convenient for your purposes.
Collection bag or bin
As with an adjustable discharge chute, an included collection bag or bin, or one that you can purchase, makes for a more convenient clean-up. These either attach directly to or sit just below the discharge chute.
Portability
To get the most efficient use out of your wood chipper, you need the ability to move it to wherever you are, cutting down the majority of the branches. This means portability should be a priority. Various factors should be looked at when considering how easily portable a particular wood chipper is, including the type and size of the wheels, the handles and the overall weight and size of the machine.
How much you can expect to spend on a cheap wood chipper
For a cheap electric wood chipper, you can expect to spend between $100-$300. Gas models are considerably more expensive, with any models costing $500-$750 considered cheap.
Cheap wood chipper FAQ
Do wood chipper blades need to be resharpened?
A. Like all blades, wood chipper blades also get dull from use. Most manufacturers recommend resharpening the blades after every six to eight hours of use. While this might not sound like a lot, the actual cutting process of a wood chipper is very short, so six to eight hours of use is often more than a year or two for the average user.
Why is my wood chipper constantly getting clogged?
A. If your wood chipper is getting clogged often, more than likely, you are trying to feed branches that are too large for it to handle or a lot of wet leaves and green branches.

They aren’t as powerful as gas models, though, and cannot process as thick of branches. You also can’t use them in locations where you don’t have access to a power outlet.
Safety tips for using a wood chipper
Wood chippers are very useful tools, but they can also be very dangerous if not used with proper care and caution. Before using any wood chipper, carefully read the entire instruction manual to ensure you know how to operate the machine and what to do if you encounter any jams. Always wear safety glasses when using a wood chipper, and it is a good idea also to consider wearing gloves, ear protection and a face shield.
When the chipper is operating, never look down the chute or put your hands anywhere inside of the hopper. It is best to keep kids and pets out of the immediate area since they could potentially hurt themselves or distract you enough that you make a potentially dangerous mistake.
What to look for in a quality cheap wood chipper
Capacity
When considering the capacity of a wood chipper, you need to look at two factors: the hopper size and the maximum diameter of branches it can accept. Most electric wood chippers can accept branches between 1.5 and 2 inches in diameter. Gas models may accept branches up to 3 inches in diameter.
The hopper size determines how many branches you can safely feed into a machine at one time. The larger the hopper is, the quicker you can get through large piles of branches. Like with diameter, gas-powered models tend to have larger hoppers than electric wood chippers.
Reduction ratio
The reduction ratio refers to how small the material will be after passing through your chipper compared to its original size. For example, a 12 to one reduction ratio will reduce yard waste to one-twelfth its original size. The reduction ratio of wood chippers varies greatly from machine to machine and ranges from as low as eight to one up to 20 to one.
Adjustable discharge chute
More commonly found in large gas wood chippers than electric models, an adjustable discharge chute allows you to direct the waste to wherever is most convenient for your purposes.
Collection bag or bin
As with an adjustable discharge chute, an included collection bag or bin, or one that you can purchase, makes for a more convenient clean-up. These either attach directly to or sit just below the discharge chute.
Portability
To get the most efficient use out of your wood chipper, you need the ability to move it to wherever you are, cutting down the majority of the branches. This means portability should be a priority. Various factors should be looked at when considering how easily portable a particular wood chipper is, including the type and size of the wheels, the handles and the overall weight and size of the machine.
How much you can expect to spend on a cheap wood chipper
For a cheap electric wood chipper, you can expect to spend between $100-$300. Gas models are considerably more expensive, with any models costing $500-$750 considered cheap.
Cheap wood chipper FAQ
Do wood chipper blades need to be resharpened?
A. Like all blades, wood chipper blades also get dull from use. Most manufacturers recommend resharpening the blades after every six to eight hours of use. While this might not sound like a lot, the actual cutting process of a wood chipper is very short, so six to eight hours of use is often more than a year or two for the average user.
Why is my wood chipper constantly getting clogged?
A. If your wood chipper is getting clogged often, more than likely, you are trying to feed branches that are too large for it to handle or a lot of wet leaves and green branches.

https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/yellowstone-offering-legacy-entry-pass-good-for-2172/ | (NEXSTAR) — Yellowstone National Park is marking its 150th anniversary year, and to celebrate, it is accepting $1,500 donations in exchange for an annual entry pass to be used by the donor’s descendants in 150 years.
Calling it “a new way to invest in the future,” Yellowstone Forever, the park’s fundraising arm, will use the money raised through the sale of “Inheritance Passes” to support park projects such as trail improvements, education, native fish conservation and scientific studies.
According to Yellowstone Forever’s president and CEO, it’s the organization’s way of celebrating the park’s 150 years and helping to preserve it for another 150 years.
“This is a time for us to reflect on the natural and cultural significance of Yellowstone National Park, and to also look ahead to the next 150 years and how we can—together—work to strengthen its future,” President and CEO Lisa Diekmann said in a statement. “The Inheritance Pass is an opportunity to donate to the park now to help safeguard it for the future, and to ensure generations of stewards to come can experience and learn from the world’s first national park.”
The commemorative pass, available for a donation of $1,500, will include the donor family’s name and allows future generations entry into the park in 2172 — 150 years from now.
Until then, the pass is meant to be passed down from generation to generation “to support our collective love of Yellowstone’s vast wilderness,” the park said.
“Yellowstone National Park has provided inspiration and wonder to people for thousands of years,” said Diekmann. “Today, the park remains protected for the benefit and enjoyment of all people. As we look to the future, it will take support from all of us to help protect it today and ensure Yellowstone is protected for the next 150 years and beyond.”
Donors will also receive a Yellowstone National Park entry pass valid this year.

https://www.3newsnow.com/news/national/districts-struggle-to-transport-students-amid-ongoing-bus-driver-shortage | CHICAGO, Ill. — Last week, a district in Florida said it was forced to cut school bus routes due to the ongoing problem of recruiting and retaining drivers. Thousands of those high school students will lose their bus rides this fall.
From California and Iowa to Virginia and Florida, schools are having to make tough choices about how to keep the wheels on the bus going round and round.
The deepening shortage of bus drivers has districts adjusting which routes to keep and how many students they can bus in.
“You just saw it all over the country, there were districts that had to go remote because they didn't have bus drivers. There were districts that reduced service and increased walk boundaries,” said Joanna McFarland, CEO and founder of HopSkipDrive, a school ride service that operates a fleet of cars and SUVs in ten states.
“We've had a driver shortage in this country for ten plus years. I think the pandemic really exacerbated that,” said McFarland.
Bus driver vacancies remain unfilled across the country as aging drivers are retiring in droves.
According to a newly released survey from HopSkipDrive, 88% of survey respondents said the bus driver shortage is the biggest transportation issue they face – a 10% increase from last year. 67% said they saw a direct link between access to transportation and attendance in their district.
“If you can't get to school, you can't get to learning. And unfortunately, we see that that chronic absenteeism tends to hit our more vulnerable populations,” said McFarland.
“We largely have been using sort of the same one size fits all transit solution of a yellow school bus for over 80 years,” said Emily Anne Gullickson, founder and CEO of A for Arizona.
The nonprofit education advocacy group recently administered a first-in-the-nation state grant program to fund alternative student transportation options.
“The reality is it's been a barrier for many families, especially working-class and low-income families for a long time. We know families with means have had transit options for years. And so, it's also time we finally have that conversation,” said Gullickson.
Recruitment appears to be the top problem. According to the survey low pay, early retirement, and ongoing covid health concerns remain contributing factors.
Districts around the country have raised the hourly pay and even offered signing bonuses in the thousands.
In January, the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Education announced they would allow states to waive some CDL skill requirements to help bolster school bus driver applications.
But that waiver expired in March.
“We can try to recruit more bus drivers, but I think we need to look at other ways of addressing it that may not involve more school bus drivers,” said McFarland.
School transportation insiders say more alternatives to the yellow bus like carpooling, ridesharing and shuttles.
“The fact that you can't get to school because we aren't willing to think outside the box, that's going to haunt us for a very long time,” said Gullickson.
Otherwise, more students may find themselves stranded this fall. | 0 | 55,186 | 0 | https://www.kztv10.com/news/national/districts-struggle-to-transport-students-amid-ongoing-bus-driver-shortage | 2022-04-05 15:47:03+00:00 | CHICAGO, Ill. — Last week, a district in Florida said it was forced to cut school bus routes due to the ongoing problem of recruiting and retaining drivers.

“The fact that you can't get to school because we aren't willing to think outside the box, that's going to haunt us for a very long time,” said Gullickson.
Otherwise, more students may find themselves stranded this fall. | 2 | 56,384 | 0 | https://www.wcpo.com/news/national/districts-struggle-to-transport-students-amid-ongoing-bus-driver-shortage | 2022-04-05 15:52:41+00:00 | CHICAGO, Ill. — Last week, a district in Florida said it was forced to cut school bus routes due to the ongoing problem of recruiting and retaining drivers. Thousands of those high school students will lose their bus rides this fall.
From California and Iowa to Virginia and Florida, schools are having to make tough choices about how to keep the wheels on the bus going round and round.
The deepening shortage of bus drivers has districts adjusting which routes to keep and how many students they can bus in.
“You just saw it all over the country, there were districts that had to go remote because they didn't have bus drivers. There were districts that reduced service and increased walk boundaries,” said Joanna McFarland, CEO and founder of HopSkipDrive, a school ride service that operates a fleet of cars and SUVs in ten states.
“We've had a driver shortage in this country for ten plus years. I think the pandemic really exacerbated that,” said McFarland.
Bus driver vacancies remain unfilled across the country as aging drivers are retiring in droves.
According to a newly released survey from HopSkipDrive, 88% of survey respondents said the bus driver shortage is the biggest transportation issue they face – a 10% increase from last year. 67% said they saw a direct link between access to transportation and attendance in their district.
“If you can't get to school, you can't get to learning. And unfortunately, we see that that chronic absenteeism tends to hit our more vulnerable populations,” said McFarland.
“We largely have been using sort of the same one size fits all transit solution of a yellow school bus for over 80 years,” said Emily Anne Gullickson, founder and CEO of A for Arizona.
The nonprofit education advocacy group recently administered a first-in-the-nation state grant program to fund alternative student transportation options.
“The reality is it's been a barrier for many families, especially working-class and low-income families for a long time. We know families with means have had transit options for years. And so, it's also time we finally have that conversation,” said Gullickson.
Recruitment appears to be the top problem. According to the survey low pay, early retirement, and ongoing covid health concerns remain contributing factors.
Districts around the country have raised the hourly pay and even offered signing bonuses in the thousands.
In January, the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Education announced they would allow states to waive some CDL skill requirements to help bolster school bus driver applications.
But that waiver expired in March.
“We can try to recruit more bus drivers, but I think we need to look at other ways of addressing it that may not involve more school bus drivers,” said McFarland.
School transportation insiders say more alternatives to the yellow bus like carpooling, ridesharing and shuttles.
“The fact that you can't get to school because we aren't willing to think outside the box, that's going to haunt us for a very long time,” said Gullickson.

https://theconversation.com/fixed-or-variable-mortgage-the-choice-of-home-loan-isnt-as-simple-as-you-might-think-179960 | In times like these, when there is great uncertainty about what will happen to interest rates, borrowers get lots of advice about whether to go fixed or variable. Unfortunately, a lot of it is not well founded.
For example, anyone who tells you to lock a fixed rate mortgage now before rates rise, is basically talking rubbish.
The idea it would necessarily result in you paying less interest over the life of the loan is wrong.
With minor exceptions, banks set their fixed rates based on their expectations of future changes in interest rates. They have armies of economists and analysts factoring all available information to do the calculations.
If they expect general rates to climb, they will set their fixed rates correspondingly higher than their variable rates. If they expect rates to fall, they will set them correspondingly lower.
It’s how the rates they pay are set too. When banks borrow at fixed rates, those are usually based on expectations of future movements in interest rates.
It’s hard to beat the bank
It means that the bank’s expectation of what it will get from a customer over the life of a fixed loan ends up close to its expectation of what it will get from a customer over the life of a variable loan. It gets the same sort of profit either way.
Of course, as a customer you might disagree with the bank’s expectation of future interest rate movements. You might want to back your judgement.
Good luck with it, but I’m not at all sure the typical borrower has the information and analytical skills needed to work these things out better than the typical bank.
It is true that even the banks can (and sometimes do) get it wrong. The future is rarely what has been predicted. But banks are generally less likely to get it wrong than their customers.
Fixed loans can produce nasty surprises too
For borrowers considering whether to go fixed or variable, there are other things to consider. For fixed loans, the monthly payments are locked in for a set number of years. For many that’s a good thing. They know for certain that (over the period the loan is fixed) their payments won’t climb beyond what they expect to pay.
But there’s a danger. When the fixed term expires, what they are charged might jump by quite a lot, as happened in the United States in the leadup to the global financial crisis.
If one bank offers fixed rate loans at a lower margin over its floating rate than does other banks, that may be a case for choosing its fixed rate loan over that of its competitors (if for other reasons you were minded to take out a fixed-rate loan).
But the difference might also reflect a host of other explicit and implicit charges the borrower needs to be aware of. And some banks might be setting rates aimed at exploiting borrowers biased towards one or the other type of loan.
Read more: The RBA signals the end of ultra-cheap money. Here's what it will mean
Some small banks might also offer different packages of rates because of a wish to induce borrowers into either fixed or floating rate loans to better reflect characteristics of their funding mix.
But for banks of any substantial size, this is highly unlikely. They are able to use wholesale and derivative markets to manage any interest rate risk from mismatch between assets and liabilities.
The message is to beware of any advice that suggests either fixed or floating is a better deal. Consider what matters for you. Your ability to deal with the risk of changes in your repayment obligations is likely to be more important. | 0 | 119,217 | 0.644432 | https://www.moneysense.ca/columns/mortgage-matters/switch-to-fixed-rate-mortgage/ | 2022-04-20 00:10:53+00:00 | Now’s not the time to switch to a fixed-rate mortgage
As interest rates climb, variable mortgage rate holders may start to panic. Here’s why you should avoid the temptation of going fixed right now.
As interest rates climb, variable mortgage rate holders may start to panic. Here’s why you should avoid the temptation of going fixed right now.
The Bank of Canada’s April 13 interest rate hike of 0.5%—the biggest one-time rate jump in decades—caught many variable-rate mortgage holders off guard. Some are likely thinking about running to their local bank branch or mortgage specialist to lock into a standard five-year fixed rate. Those who do so will likely be welcomed into the lion’s den by employees with open arms, wide grins and reassuring sales pitches bestowing the benefits of peace of mind and comfort.
Stop! Yes, banks’ prime lending rate has increased from 2.4% to 3.2% with the first two benchmark rate increases this year. And yes, we will most likely see another Bank of Canada rate increase come June, and it could push the prime rate further, possibly to 3.7%. This all seems uncontrollable, unmanageable—and it will cause many to panic.
The truth is, banks are positioned to profit from this kind of environment. They will seduce you with a free offer to switch from a variable rate to a fixed rate. They may present you with a five-year fixed rate “deal” of 3.99% that expires in a few days; if you don’t act quickly enough, your rate will increase to 4.14%. They will try to convince you that rates will continue climbing until they reach the moon, and that it would be unwise to ride out a variable rate as we head into a possible recession.
The fact is, the time to lock into a fixed rate has passed, and the attractively low five-year fixed rates of 2.59% to 2.99% are long past us—the train has left the station. Most variable rate holders were able to secure below-prime discounts of 1% to 1.25% or more, but those discounts are no longer readily available for refinances and conventional mortgage contracts. If you already have one of these rates, chances are you have a dinosaur on your hands—it’s headed for extinction as lenders ease up on their discounts. In the current marketplace, you’re more likely to get a variable rate in the range of prime minus 0.5% to prime minus 0.75%.
So, faced with this predicament, what is a variable-rate mortgage holder to do? How can one prepare for the expected climb in rates over the next 12 to 18 months?
Coaching variable-rate mortgage clients is what I have done for over two decades. I’m an advocate of the floating-rate product and its benefits, and over the years, thousands of my clients have saved tens of thousands of dollars in interest costs and cut years off their amortization—the length of time they have a mortgage. Many clients were initially dead set against going the variable route, due to the ongoing myths about it. But with time, they have come to understand how variable rates can work in their favour.
Here are five things to consider before locking into a five-year fixed-rate mortgage in the current environment:
If you lock into a five-year fixed-rate mortgage in the 3.99% range today, you could end up paying almost double what you would with your current variable interest rate. The promise of peace of mind from your friendly neighbourhood bank representative sounds great after you’ve lived through a few Bank of Canada rate hikes, but chances are a variable-rate client will only be paying 1.95% to 2.2% after the recent hikes. Even with a couple more hikes, your variable rate will likely be well below current five-year fixed rates.
In the month of March 2020, the Bank of Canada decreased the benchmark lending rate three times due to COVID-19. We saw successive decreases of 0.5% on March 4, 16 and 27—a total reduction of 1.5% in one month—until the benchmark rate reached a historic low of 0.25%. Even with the recent increases, the Bank’s benchmark rate is still 0.75% lower than before the pandemic. By extension, the prime lending rate is also lower than before the crisis. The variable-rate mortgage was a great option pre-pandemic, and it remains so now.
All variable-rate clients were stress-tested. The mortgage qualifying rate in Canada has been 5.25% for quite some time, which means all mortgage holders should be able to comfortably withstand interest rates that fall below that threshold. As noted earlier, many variable-rate mortgage holders were able to negotiate rates discounted well below prime. This suggests many variable-rate clients can withstand the prime rate reaching 6.25% or 6.5%. For example, a client with a contract rate of prime minus 1.25% should be able to handle prime reaching 6.5% under the stress test criteria. We are 12 hikes of 0.25% away from that. If rates get to that level anytime soon, we have bigger economic issues to deal with.
The war in Ukraine has contributed to supply chain issues, food shortages and fuel cost increases, driving inflation to concerning levels. Rate hikes are a necessary tool the central bank uses to rein in inflation, and it could take 12 to 18 months to do so. Once the target rate of inflation is achieved, rates will subside to neutral levels, as noted by Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem. Locking into a five-year fixed rate with penalty handcuffs could pose a challenge if you need to refinance, downsize or break the mortgage prior to the end of its term. It’s a good idea to assess your personal situation and goals for the next five years so you can execute a plan that properly aligns with them.
The difference between variable rates and higher fixed interest rates provides a great opportunity to accelerate repayment of your debt and lower the balance owing faster and sooner. Making payments on a variable-rate mortgage, but in the amount you would with a current fixed-rate mortgage, has tremendous advantages. More of your payment will go towards principal reduction and that will lower the mortgage balance owing at a faster pace.
The key to borrowing over long periods of time, like with a 25- or 30-year mortgage, is to take advantage of the lowest rates you can find when you have the highest amount of debt. Paying back debt more quickly mitigates the risk of rising interest rates, because you owe less money. Calculate the premium you would pay to lock into a fixed rate, and use that money to pay down your debt. Instead of paying the bank more interest, you’ll end up paying down your mortgage faster.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have earned the trust of tens of thousands of clients, social media followers and television viewers, with whom I’ve shared tips and strategies that help home owners save money, pay their mortgages off faster and build wealth for their families. These are important times for variable-rate mortgage clients and getting good, unbiased advice is critical, so be careful whom you lean on for counsel. I will leave you with this question: Why is there no penalty to convert from a variable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage, but there’s always a penalty to switch from a fixed-rate mortgage to a variable one?

Many mortgage holders are switching to lock down security over repayments according to an expert, after new figures from Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) reveal a 28% increase in mortgage switching activity year on year.
News that house repayments are set to increase during a cost of living crisis has created further worry for hard-pressed homeowners
Rising fuel costs and energy bills in addition to record high inflation, is putting increasing pressure on already-stretched households
“One key factor driving the surge in switching presently is the expectation that rates will start to increase in the near future," said Martina Hennessy, managing director of doddl.ie.
“With concerns also mounting about the rising cost of living, mortgage holders are looking to lock down security over repayments.
“For most homeowners, their mortgage is their largest outgoing and if you are exposed to an increase in interest rates it can have a big impact on your pocket.
Hennessy says that the main way to safeguard against rate increases is to switch to a fixed rate with some very strong medium to long-term fixed rates available right now.
“Fixed rates have been very popular over the last five years as they have generally been set lower than variable rates.
“84% of new agreements were on fixed rate terms, according to the Central Bank and we are seeing very high demand for these at doddl.ie.
“Terms of 7 and 10 year fixed are proving more popular in the last 18 months as they have started to be priced more competitively and are being offered more widely. There are also fixed mortgage terms available from 1 to up to 30 years.
Speaking of mortgage holders currently in the middle of a short term fixed rate and who may be concerned about what level rates will be when they roll out of their current arrangement, Hennessy says:
“It is worth calling your mortgage lender to see if there would be a break penalty and, if it makes financial sense to switch, you should lock into a longer term fixed rate to provide greater security.
“Rates are currently as low as they have been for 14 years so now is the time to review rates, in particular fixed-rate options.
“Don’t just accept the first rate offered to you, look to achieve the lowest rate available to you to avoid paying more than you need to during the fixed term,” Ms Hennessy advised.

https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/EPA-rule-would-finally-ban-asbestos-carcinogen-17058729.php | WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed a rule to finally ban asbestos, a carcinogen that is still used in some chlorine bleach, brake pads and other products and kills thousands of Americans every year.
The proposal marks a major expansion of EPA regulation under a landmark 2016 law that overhauled rules governing tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products, from household cleaners to clothing and furniture.
The proposed rule would ban chrysotile asbestos, the only ongoing use of asbestos in the United States. The substance is found in products such brake linings and gaskets, and is used to manufacture chlorine bleach and sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan called the rule an important step to protect public health and "finally put an end to the use of dangerous asbestos in the United States.''
The proposed ban "demonstrates significant progress in our work to implement the (2016) law and take bold, long-overdue actions to protect those most vulnerable among us,” Regan said.
The 2016 law authorized new rules for tens of thousands of toxic chemicals found in everyday products, including substances such as asbestos and trichloroethylene that for decades have been known to cause cancer yet were largely unregulated under federal law. Known as Frank Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act, the law was intended to clear up a hodgepodge of state rules governing chemicals and update the Toxic Substances Control Act, a 1976 law that had remained unchanged for 40 years.
The EPA banned asbestos in 1989, but the rule was largely overturned by a 1991 court decision that weakened EPA’s authority under TSCA to address risks to human health from asbestos or other existing chemicals. The 2016 law required the EPA evaluate chemicals and put in place protections against unreasonable risks.
At the signing ceremony for the new law, then-President Barack Obama said the U.S. chemical system under TSCA was "so complex, so burdensome that our country hasn’t even been able to uphold a ban on asbestos. I think a lot of Americans would be shocked by all that.”
Asbestos, which was once common in home insulation and other products, is banned in more than 50 countries and its use in the U.S. has been declining for decades. The only form of asbestos known to be currently imported, processed or distributed for use in the U.S. is chrysotile asbestos, which is imported from Brazil and used by the chlor-alkali industry, which produces bleach, caustic soda and other products.
Most consumer products that historically contained chrysotile asbestos have been discontinued.
While chlorine is a commonly used disinfectant in water treatment, there are only 10 chlor-alkali plants in the U.S. that still use asbestos diaphragms to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide. The plants are mostly located in Louisiana and Texas.
The use of asbestos diaphragms has been declining and now accounts for about one-third of the chlor-alkali production in the U.S., EPA said.
The proposed ban would take effect two years after the effective date of the final rule.
In addition to addressing the significant human health effects of chrysotile asbestos exposure, the proposed rule is also expected to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions associated with chlor-alkali production, an energy-intensive industrial operation. | 0 | 60,465 | 0 | https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/EPA-rule-would-finally-ban-asbestos-carcinogen-17058729.php | 2022-04-05 16:12:57+00:00 | WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday proposed a rule to finally ban asbestos, a carcinogen that is still used in some chlorine bleach, brake pads and other products and kills thousands of Americans every year.

The proposal marks a major expansion of EPA regulation under a landmark 2016 law that overhauled rules governing tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in everyday products, from household cleaners to clothing and furniture.
The proposed rule would ban chrysotile asbestos, the only ongoing use of asbestos in the United States. The substance is found in products such brake linings and gaskets, and is used to manufacture chlorine bleach and sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan called the rule an important step to protect public health and "finally put an end to the use of dangerous asbestos in the United States.''
The proposed ban "demonstrates significant progress in our work to implement the (2016) law and take bold, long-overdue actions to protect those most vulnerable among us,” Regan said.
The 2016 law authorized new rules for tens of thousands of toxic chemicals found in everyday products, including substances such as asbestos and trichloroethylene that for decades have been known to cause cancer yet were largely unregulated under federal law. Known as Frank Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act, the law was intended to clear up a hodgepodge of state rules governing chemicals and update the Toxic Substances Control Act, a 1976 law that had remained unchanged for 40 years.
The EPA banned asbestos in 1989, but the rule was largely overturned by a 1991 court decision that weakened EPA’s authority under TSCA to address risks to human health from asbestos or other existing chemicals. The 2016 law required the EPA evaluate chemicals and put in place protections against unreasonable risks.
At the signing ceremony for the new law, then-President Barack Obama said the U.S. chemical system under TSCA was "so complex, so burdensome that our country hasn’t even been able to uphold a ban on asbestos. I think a lot of Americans would be shocked by all that.”
Asbestos, which was once common in home insulation and other products, is banned in more than 50 countries and its use in the U.S. has been declining for decades. The only form of asbestos known to be currently imported, processed or distributed for use in the U.S. is chrysotile asbestos, which is imported from Brazil and used by the chlor-alkali industry, which produces bleach, caustic soda and other products.
Most consumer products that historically contained chrysotile asbestos have been discontinued.
While chlorine is a commonly used disinfectant in water treatment, there are only 10 chlor-alkali plants in the U.S. that still use asbestos diaphragms to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide. The plants are mostly located in Louisiana and Texas.
The use of asbestos diaphragms has been declining and now accounts for about one-third of the chlor-alkali production in the U.S., EPA said.
The proposed ban would take effect two years after the effective date of the final rule.

https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/New-Mexico-inmates-outline-abuse-in-civil-rights-17058916.php | ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — More than a dozen inmates who were transferred following a deadly riot at a New Mexico lockup in 2020 were allegedly abused and terrorized by correctional officers while being processed at another prison, marking what a watchdog group said Tuesday is the latest example of excessive force within the criminal justice system.
The allegations were outlined in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by the New Mexico Prison & Jail Project and civil rights attorney Matthew Coyte.
The inmates claim their rights to due process and to be free from cruel and unusual punishment were violated by a deputy warden and others at the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility.
The case comes as the federal government faces pressure from members of Congress to reform its own prison system after Associated Press investigations exposed widespread problems that included serious misconduct involving correctional officers and rampant sexual abuse at a California women’s prison.
In New Mexico, inmate populations have declined significantly over recent years and the state is resuming control of what were previously private-run prisons. But advocates argue that things haven't necessarily improved and a lack of independent overnight doesn't help.
“If we could create a robust system of oversight like other states have, then this type of abuse wouldn’t happen as much," said Steven Robert Allen, director of the New Mexico Prison & Jail Project. "Would it completely solve the problem? Of course not. But it would be a big step in the right direction and an obvious step.”
Allen said individual instances of abuse happen frequently in New Mexico but are often hard to prove. The difference is this case involved a large number of people at the same time with a corresponding story, he said.
The New Mexico Corrections Department had yet to see the lawsuit and could not immediately comment on the allegations.
Many of the inmates listed as plaintiffs have extensive criminal records. About half of them remain in custody and others are now on parole.
New Mexico's history includes one of the nation’s deadliest prison riots, when a dozen guards were held hostage in February 1980. Some were brutally beaten and sexually assaulted as rioting prisoners killed 33 of their fellow inmates during a clash that included beheadings, amputations and burned bodies.
Fueled by a combination of overcrowding and poor conditions, the riot lasted 36 hours. It led to extensive reforms within the state’s prison system.
Still, New Mexico is one of many states without an independent oversight program for its corrections system. Legislation aimed at creating an ombudsman stalled in 2021.
About 15 states have independent mechanisms for dealing with complaints from inmates or for assessing conditions within the prisons. New Jersey has what supporters call one of the strongest oversight structures in the U.S., while similar programs have been established in recent years in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Washington.
Corene Kendrick, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project, said abuses continue to be widespread in jails and prisons across the U.S. because “these facilities operate behind closed doors and closed walls” and it usually takes public records requests from investigative journalists, lawmakers or advocates to get information.
“Prisons and jails just oftentimes operate in a complete black hole. It's important to have the transparency and spotlight on the problems and the abuses,” she said.
According to the lawsuit, the first group of plaintiffs was taken to the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility in Los Lunas in March 2020 following a riot at a state lockup about 80 miles (129 kilometers) away that left one inmate dead and the prison damaged. The second group was transported a couple weeks later.
The complaint states that the inmates were subjected to “an abusive welcome committee” that included name-calling and threats of physical violence by guards.
Some of them endured strip searches that the lawsuit described as abusive and punishing. Certain inmates also had their heads forcibly shaved, which left some with bloody wounds on their scalps.
“The use of sexually humiliating strip searches coupled with the forcible shaving of plaintiffs’ heads while on their hands and knees with their heads in a trash can was designed to sexually humiliate, intimidate and terrify plaintiffs,” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit goes on to detail accusations of excessive force despite no active security threat. It described the actions by prison authorities as malicious and cruel, saying the inmates suffered physical and psychological injuries in violation of their constitutional rights. | 0 | 73,986 | 0 | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/New-Mexico-inmates-outline-abuse-in-civil-rights-17058916.php | 2022-04-05 17:04:33+00:00 | ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.

It described the actions by prison authorities as malicious and cruel, saying the inmates suffered physical and psychological injuries in violation of their constitutional rights. | 2 | 76,499 | 0 | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/New-Mexico-inmates-outline-abuse-in-civil-rights-17058916.php | 2022-04-05 17:14:23+00:00 | ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — More than a dozen inmates who were transferred following a deadly riot at a New Mexico lockup in 2020 were allegedly abused and terrorized by correctional officers while being processed at another prison, marking what a watchdog group said Tuesday is the latest example of excessive force within the criminal justice system.
The allegations were outlined in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by the New Mexico Prison & Jail Project and civil rights attorney Matthew Coyte.
The inmates claim their rights to due process and to be free from cruel and unusual punishment were violated by a deputy warden and others at the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility.
The case comes as the federal government faces pressure from members of Congress to reform its own prison system after Associated Press investigations exposed widespread problems that included serious misconduct involving correctional officers and rampant sexual abuse at a California women’s prison.
In New Mexico, inmate populations have declined significantly over recent years and the state is resuming control of what were previously private-run prisons. But advocates argue that things haven't necessarily improved and a lack of independent overnight doesn't help.
“If we could create a robust system of oversight like other states have, then this type of abuse wouldn’t happen as much," said Steven Robert Allen, director of the New Mexico Prison & Jail Project. "Would it completely solve the problem? Of course not. But it would be a big step in the right direction and an obvious step.”
Allen said individual instances of abuse happen frequently in New Mexico but are often hard to prove. The difference is this case involved a large number of people at the same time with a corresponding story, he said.
The New Mexico Corrections Department had yet to see the lawsuit and could not immediately comment on the allegations.
Many of the inmates listed as plaintiffs have extensive criminal records. About half of them remain in custody and others are now on parole.
New Mexico's history includes one of the nation’s deadliest prison riots, when a dozen guards were held hostage in February 1980. Some were brutally beaten and sexually assaulted as rioting prisoners killed 33 of their fellow inmates during a clash that included beheadings, amputations and burned bodies.
Fueled by a combination of overcrowding and poor conditions, the riot lasted 36 hours. It led to extensive reforms within the state’s prison system.
Still, New Mexico is one of many states without an independent oversight program for its corrections system. Legislation aimed at creating an ombudsman stalled in 2021.
About 15 states have independent mechanisms for dealing with complaints from inmates or for assessing conditions within the prisons. New Jersey has what supporters call one of the strongest oversight structures in the U.S., while similar programs have been established in recent years in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Washington.
Corene Kendrick, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project, said abuses continue to be widespread in jails and prisons across the U.S. because “these facilities operate behind closed doors and closed walls” and it usually takes public records requests from investigative journalists, lawmakers or advocates to get information.
“Prisons and jails just oftentimes operate in a complete black hole. It's important to have the transparency and spotlight on the problems and the abuses,” she said.
According to the lawsuit, the first group of plaintiffs was taken to the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility in Los Lunas in March 2020 following a riot at a state lockup about 80 miles (129 kilometers) away that left one inmate dead and the prison damaged. The second group was transported a couple weeks later.
The complaint states that the inmates were subjected to “an abusive welcome committee” that included name-calling and threats of physical violence by guards.
Some of them endured strip searches that the lawsuit described as abusive and punishing. Certain inmates also had their heads forcibly shaved, which left some with bloody wounds on their scalps.
“The use of sexually humiliating strip searches coupled with the forcible shaving of plaintiffs’ heads while on their hands and knees with their heads in a trash can was designed to sexually humiliate, intimidate and terrify plaintiffs,” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit goes on to detail accusations of excessive force despite no active security threat. It described the actions by prison authorities as malicious and cruel, saying the inmates suffered physical and psychological injuries in violation of their constitutional rights. |
https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Appeals-court-says-US-downplayed-coal-mine-s-17059002.php | BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials improperly downplayed future climate change impacts when they approved a large expansion of an underground Montana coal mine that would release an estimated 190 million tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, a court ruled.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-1 ruling that Interior Department officials “hid the ball” under the Trump administration by failing to fully account for emissions from burning the fuel in a 2018 environmental analysis.
A judge previously ruled against the disputed expansion of the Signal Peak mine in 2017, but allowed mining to continue while a lawsuit brought by environmentalists proceeded.
Monday's ruling sends the case back to the district court level for reconsideration.
It marks the latest in long string of decisions against federal officials going back to the Obama administration for failing to adequately consider climate damages from extracting and burning fossil fuels.
The mine near Roundup is a major employer in central Montana with about 250 workers. Its coal has been exported to countries including South Korea, Japan and the Netherlands, according to court documents.
Interior spokesperson Tyler Cherry said the agency was reviewing the ruling. Signal Peak representatives did not immediately respond to the ruling. | 0 | 80,482 | 0 | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Appeals-court-says-US-downplayed-coal-mine-s-17059002.php | 2022-04-05 17:31:04+00:00 | BILLINGS, Mont.

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Hugelkultur-A-different-approach-to-raised-beds-17058763.php | I don’t have a giant property, so I strategize to get the most use of the garden I have, and that includes planting vegetables and herbs in raised beds and containers.
I’ve been growing edibles in two 4-by-4-foot cedar boxes that my husband built about 10 years ago, and every few years, I invest in copious amounts of compost and organic topsoil to refill them. Some friends garden in much larger beds and the cost to fill them would make your salad spin.
A better method, “Hugelkultur,” is said to have been used in Germany and eastern Europe for centuries as part of a more extensive permaculture system, which maintains that nature should be left to do its own thing with as little human interference as possible. That includes allowing logs, branches and other plant debris to decompose into nutrient-rich soil, as it would on a forest floor, which is arguably better than anything that comes in a bag.
Hugelkultur, or “hill culture,” has been a darling of the permaculture world since the 1970s, but has been gaining mainstream and social-media attention lately.
It can be used in raised beds or in mounds (or berms) directly on the ground.
Here’s how it works:
Instead of filling deep raised beds solely with purchased soil and compost, create a layered foundation of yard waste to reduce the amount of soil needed and increase nutrients and plant yields.
Start by building about 40 percent of the depth of your box with a base layer of old firewood or logs from hardwood trees like maple, oak, poplar or birch (bonus points if the wood is rotted). Softwoods from needled evergreens are also acceptable but will decompose more quickly. Never include pressure-treated wood, which contains toxins; wood from black locust or redwood trees, which are decay-resistant; or wood from allelopathic trees like black walnut, which release growth-inhibitors into the soil.
Top the logs with smaller pieces of wood, like fallen branches, twigs and sticks to comprise the next 10 percent of depth.
Next, add a layer of leaves, grass clippings, and other soft plant debris, plus kitchen scraps like fruits, vegetables and eggshells (never include meat, oils or animal products like cheese, or dog or cat droppings). Ensure these fresh ingredients also fill spaces in the woody layer beneath them —and then water the pile well.
Finally, add a layer each of compost and topsoil in equal amounts, wetting each layer as you build.
If you're making a free-standing mound, decide how big you’d like it to be and dig a 1-foot-deep trench as its foundation (save the sod if you are removing turf grass). Keep in mind it will be easier to plant and harvest on your mound if it’s no more than 3 feet tall.
Fill the trench with logs, and top with a thick layer of twigs, sticks and branches.
Top the woody layers with upside-down sections of the removed sod, or cardboard, and cover with kitchen scraps, compost and topsoil, as above, watering and tamping down as you go. Aim for a mound that’s wider at its base than its top.
To maximize gardening space, plant the sides as well as tops of berms.
As the organic matter in Hugelkultur beds breaks down, the height of the mound will sink; simply top off with compost as needed. That decay will also warm and aerate the soil, drastically reduce the need for irrigation (starting in the second or third year), and provide plants with a long-term supply of nutrients (fertilize regularly during the first two growing seasons, before decomposition really gets cooking).
Expect Hugelkultur beds to provide rich, fertile soil, increased harvests, larger plants — and savings — for up to 20 years.

I’ve been growing edibles in two 4-by-4-foot cedar boxes that my husband built about 10 years ago, and every few years, I invest in copious amounts of compost and organic topsoil to refill them. Some friends garden in much larger beds and the cost to fill them would make your salad spin.
A better method, “Hugelkultur,” is said to have been used in Germany and eastern Europe for centuries as part of a more extensive permaculture system, which maintains that nature should be left to do its own thing with as little human interference as possible. That includes allowing logs, branches and other plant debris to decompose into nutrient-rich soil, as it would on a forest floor, which is arguably better than anything that comes in a bag.
Hugelkultur, or “hill culture,” has been a darling of the permaculture world since the 1970s, but has been gaining mainstream and social-media attention lately.
It can be used in raised beds or in mounds (or berms) directly on the ground.
Here’s how it works:
Instead of filling deep raised beds solely with purchased soil and compost, create a layered foundation of yard waste to reduce the amount of soil needed and increase nutrients and plant yields.
Start by building about 40 percent of the depth of your box with a base layer of old firewood or logs from hardwood trees like maple, oak, poplar or birch (bonus points if the wood is rotted). Softwoods from needled evergreens are also acceptable but will decompose more quickly. Never include pressure-treated wood, which contains toxins; wood from black locust or redwood trees, which are decay-resistant; or wood from allelopathic trees like black walnut, which release growth-inhibitors into the soil.
Top the logs with smaller pieces of wood, like fallen branches, twigs and sticks to comprise the next 10 percent of depth.
Next, add a layer of leaves, grass clippings, and other soft plant debris, plus kitchen scraps like fruits, vegetables and eggshells (never include meat, oils or animal products like cheese, or dog or cat droppings). Ensure these fresh ingredients also fill spaces in the woody layer beneath them —and then water the pile well.
Finally, add a layer each of compost and topsoil in equal amounts, wetting each layer as you build.
If you're making a free-standing mound, decide how big you’d like it to be and dig a 1-foot-deep trench as its foundation (save the sod if you are removing turf grass). Keep in mind it will be easier to plant and harvest on your mound if it’s no more than 3 feet tall.
Fill the trench with logs, and top with a thick layer of twigs, sticks and branches.
Top the woody layers with upside-down sections of the removed sod, or cardboard, and cover with kitchen scraps, compost and topsoil, as above, watering and tamping down as you go. Aim for a mound that’s wider at its base than its top.
To maximize gardening space, plant the sides as well as tops of berms.
As the organic matter in Hugelkultur beds breaks down, the height of the mound will sink; simply top off with compost as needed. That decay will also warm and aerate the soil, drastically reduce the need for irrigation (starting in the second or third year), and provide plants with a long-term supply of nutrients (fertilize regularly during the first two growing seasons, before decomposition really gets cooking).
Expect Hugelkultur beds to provide rich, fertile soil, increased harvests, larger plants — and savings — for up to 20 years.

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/She-wasn-t-having-a-heart-attack-it-was-17058736.php | Life has not slowed for Patricia Harden of Oakland, California, since she sold her public relations company in 2020 or since retiring from her remaining consulting work the following year. Now 73, she's serving on the board of nonprofits, taking part in a writing group and doing Pilates.
"At first, I was sort of overwhelmed with all the choices," she said. "But it's been exciting."
On an August afternoon in 2021, Harden was pumping iron at her gym when she felt fatigued. She just wanted the workout to be finished, which was very unlike her. She attributed the feeling to the fact she hadn't been lifting weights regularly and to the afternoon heat.
Finishing, however, provided little relief. She felt a tightness across her chest that she assumed was a pulled muscle. She texted her trainer. The trainer replied that she should take a pain reliever and soak in a hot bath. That just made her feel worse. When she felt a prickly sensation in both arms, it dawned on her that she could be having a heart attack.
This seemed unfathomable. Fit, active and conscious about eating a diet that included the entire rainbow of fruits and vegetables, being healthy was part of her identity. However, she did have a family history. Both her father and his grandfather died of heart disease, both at 79.
At the hospital, Dr. Andrew Dublin, the cardiologist on call that night, reviewed her test results and suspected she'd had a heart attack.
"He said my life was in danger," Harden said. It's the last thing she remembers before passing out.
Once Harden was stabilized, Dublin threaded a catheter through an artery in her wrist to her heart. He planned to stent any blocked arteries (the cause of most heart attacks), thus restoring blood flow to the heart.
To his surprise, there was no blockage.
"That told me it wasn't a traditional heart attack," he said.
Upon further analysis, he concluded she had a weakening of the left ventricle called takotsubo cardiomyopathy. It is also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or by its more evocative name: broken heart syndrome.
The stress somehow interferes with the pumping action of the heart's left ventricle, causing it to fill with blood and balloon out, resembling the shape of a vessel used as an octopus trap, or "takotsubo" as it's known in Japanese.
"It can happen when you're dancing at your grandson's wedding or when you lose your dog," Dublin said. "Or it can be caused by physical stress such as exercising."
Characterized by chest pain and shortness of breath, the condition is most common in women between 58 and 75 and sometimes mistaken for a heart attack. "The theory is that a big adrenaline surge overwhelms the heart and causes temporary dysfunction," Dublin said.
While heart failure occurs in about 20% of cases, "the good news about this condition is that the long-term prognosis is excellent," he added. "Most people fully recover, and their heart function returns to normal. We don't see recurrent cases very often."
Still, the experience can be traumatic.
Harden spent a week in the hospital hooked up to machines. Fluid filled her lungs, and she wore a large facemask to deliver oxygen.
"Normally I would be planning, plotting and strategizing, but I was just lying there drained of energy," she said. "I didn't even feel emotional."
Although she never feared for her life, Harden was fatigued and weak after eight days in the hospital.
The first few days at home, she mostly stayed in bed. A nurse, an occupational therapist and a physical therapist visited, helping her to begin a modified exercise program and to increase her heart rate safely. She started with short walks down her driveway.
In addition to faithfully taking medications prescribed to strengthen her heart, Harden wore a heart monitor for a couple weeks. It showed no irregularities. Other follow-up exams indicated a return to health.
About six weeks later, she realized she felt like herself again. At her follow-up appointment with Dublin, he cleared her to begin exercising again.
"I was feeling pretty darn good," she said.
More aware of the limitations that come with being 73, she's given up weight training and cut the distance of her hikes instead of pushing onward when she begins to feel fatigued. "In the past, I probably would have only paused on the brink of exhaustion," she said. Another small concession is that she avoids exercising in the heat of the day.
Unaware of takotsubo cardiomyopathy before she experienced it, she has shared her story with friends and at women's groups, encouraging everyone to call 911 at the first sign of trouble.
"A lot of women are in denial and don't want to make a big fuss and waste three hours or more for a pulled muscle," she said. "But don't mess around with something that's heart-related."

Now 73, she's serving on the board of nonprofits, taking part in a writing group and doing Pilates.
"At first, I was sort of overwhelmed with all the choices," she said. "But it's been exciting."
On an August afternoon in 2021, Harden was pumping iron at her gym when she felt fatigued. She just wanted the workout to be finished, which was very unlike her. She attributed the feeling to the fact she hadn't been lifting weights regularly and to the afternoon heat.
Finishing, however, provided little relief. She felt a tightness across her chest that she assumed was a pulled muscle. She texted her trainer. The trainer replied that she should take a pain reliever and soak in a hot bath. That just made her feel worse. When she felt a prickly sensation in both arms, it dawned on her that she could be having a heart attack.
This seemed unfathomable. Fit, active and conscious about eating a diet that included the entire rainbow of fruits and vegetables, being healthy was part of her identity. However, she did have a family history. Both her father and his grandfather died of heart disease, both at 79.
At the hospital, Dr. Andrew Dublin, the cardiologist on call that night, reviewed her test results and suspected she'd had a heart attack.
"He said my life was in danger," Harden said. It's the last thing she remembers before passing out.
Once Harden was stabilized, Dublin threaded a catheter through an artery in her wrist to her heart. He planned to stent any blocked arteries (the cause of most heart attacks), thus restoring blood flow to the heart.
To his surprise, there was no blockage.
"That told me it wasn't a traditional heart attack," he said.
Upon further analysis, he concluded she had a weakening of the left ventricle called takotsubo cardiomyopathy. It is also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy or by its more evocative name: broken heart syndrome.
The stress somehow interferes with the pumping action of the heart's left ventricle, causing it to fill with blood and balloon out, resembling the shape of a vessel used as an octopus trap, or "takotsubo" as it's known in Japanese.
"It can happen when you're dancing at your grandson's wedding or when you lose your dog," Dublin said. "Or it can be caused by physical stress such as exercising."
Characterized by chest pain and shortness of breath, the condition is most common in women between 58 and 75 and sometimes mistaken for a heart attack. "The theory is that a big adrenaline surge overwhelms the heart and causes temporary dysfunction," Dublin said.
While heart failure occurs in about 20% of cases, "the good news about this condition is that the long-term prognosis is excellent," he added. "Most people fully recover, and their heart function returns to normal. We don't see recurrent cases very often."
Still, the experience can be traumatic.
Harden spent a week in the hospital hooked up to machines. Fluid filled her lungs, and she wore a large facemask to deliver oxygen.
"Normally I would be planning, plotting and strategizing, but I was just lying there drained of energy," she said. "I didn't even feel emotional."
Although she never feared for her life, Harden was fatigued and weak after eight days in the hospital.
The first few days at home, she mostly stayed in bed. A nurse, an occupational therapist and a physical therapist visited, helping her to begin a modified exercise program and to increase her heart rate safely. She started with short walks down her driveway.
In addition to faithfully taking medications prescribed to strengthen her heart, Harden wore a heart monitor for a couple weeks. It showed no irregularities. Other follow-up exams indicated a return to health.
About six weeks later, she realized she felt like herself again. At her follow-up appointment with Dublin, he cleared her to begin exercising again.
"I was feeling pretty darn good," she said.
More aware of the limitations that come with being 73, she's given up weight training and cut the distance of her hikes instead of pushing onward when she begins to feel fatigued. "In the past, I probably would have only paused on the brink of exhaustion," she said. Another small concession is that she avoids exercising in the heat of the day.
Unaware of takotsubo cardiomyopathy before she experienced it, she has shared her story with friends and at women's groups, encouraging everyone to call 911 at the first sign of trouble.
"A lot of women are in denial and don't want to make a big fuss and waste three hours or more for a pulled muscle," she said. "But don't mess around with something that's heart-related."

https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/brownlee-welcomes-playing-in-finals-without-durham-around-a793-20220405 | IN a way, Justin Brownlee is grateful he no longer has to face Allen Durham as Barangay Ginebra faces Meralco anew for the championship of the PBA Governors Cup.
Justin Brownlee on Allen Durham
While he and the Kings may have won all their three previous title showdowns with the Bolts, Brownlee admitted Durham was always a difficult matchup for him.
Somehow, Brownlee is relieved the do-it-all import is not around now that the Kings and Bolts’ championship paths meet again.
“I need to be honest, yeah you could say that,” a smiling Brownlee candidly admitted when asked about the scenario of playing the Bolts in the finals without Durham around.
“He’s a tough competitor, he always comes to play hard, and always produced for his team,” added the Ginebra import, who just recently climbed to no. 6 in the all-time PBA scoring list among imports.
Durham won three Best Import awards at the expense of Brownlee, but somehow couldn’t carry the Bolts to the top, foiled three times by the Kings, including their last meeting during the 2019 finals of the season-ending meet.
But Brownlee certainly has a lot of respect for the 33-year-old Durham, who failed to hook up with Meralco as he’s currently playing with Ryukyu Golden Kings in the Japan B.League.
“He’s really been the Best Import for three times and there’s a reason for that. He definitely earned it,” he said of his long-time rival.
Now Brownlee gets to have a different look as he faces a different animal in the finals in the person of Tony Bishop.

Now they face a different beast in the form of Tony Bishop, who Cone described as a ‘silent assassin.’
As with Durham before, the reigning champion Kings will have their hands full trying to contain the 32-year-old Bishop in their best-of-seven title series starting on Wednesday.
For someone who’s already very familiar with what Durham can exactly do, Cone sees a lot of difference from Bishop, who plays for the Panama national team being an American-Panamanian.
“This guy is really smart. Not saying Durham is not. But this guy just plays off the ball, really has good instincts, very unselfish,” said the Ginebra coach.
“He moves a little awkwardly, but he moves efficiently. He doesn’t waste any moves.”
Durham, the three-time Best Import winner, propelled Meralco to the Governors’ Cup finals in 2016, 2017, and 2019, but he and the Bolts always ran into Justin Brownlee and the Kings and lost in all three championship series.
Justin Brownlee and the Gin Kings face off with the Bolts for the title for the fourth time.
The closest the Bolts came to winning a maiden PBA title came five years ago when they played the Kings in a memorable Game 7 played before the biggest crowd of 54,086 to witness a Philippine sports event held at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
Now, Meralco is putting its fate on the hands of Bishop, who averaged 25.5 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 3.4 assists for the entire conference.
In the two teams’ lone meeting in the conference, Meralco prevailed, 101-95, last Feb. 13 in which Bishop finished with a near triple-double of 30 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists, including shooting 4-of-8 from beyond the arc.
“He’s a more off the ball kind of guy. Durham had to have the ball in his hands and then we’d have to play him hard,” Cone added about the disparity between the two Meralco imports.
“He’s a stud and he fits his team extremely well.”

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel coach Tim Cone paid tribute to Justin Brownlee after the Gin King regain PBA Governors’ Cup crown that came once again at the expense of the Meralco Bolts.
Cone expressed before a crowd of 20,224 at the Mall of Asia Arena his gratitude towards Brownlee, who he described as the telling difference as to why the Gin Kings were able to capture a fourth Governors’ Cup for the fourth time in the last five editions.
“You know, we’ve won these four out of five championships against Meralco,” Cone told the audience during the championship presentation.
“And I want to tell you that the difference between us and them…is Justin Brownlee,” added Cone, triggering loud cheers from the crowd. “If Justin was on the other side, who knows maybe we don’t win.”
Brownlee has been synonymous with winning ever since he arrived in July 2016 to replace an injured Paul Harris early in that year’s Governors’ Cup.
It was Brownlee’s fifth championship in eight conferences with Ginebra, perhaps enhancing his status as one of the greatest imports of all-time.
Brownlee had his struggles early in the series, but displayed his usual self when it mattered.
He only scored two points in the first half of the clincher, before going off for 17 in the third which allowed Ginebra to take full control.
“We’ve been blessed to have Justin all this time, and that has been the difference for us. Like I said before, he’s special,” he later said in a postgame interview inside the press room. |

So when two-time grand slam coach Tim Cone was asked who'll be his import for the coming Commissioner's Cup, his answer was up front.
"It's a no-brainer. We're bringing back Justin Brownlee," said Cone on plans of recalling his long-time reinforcement in a tournament that features imports not taller than 6-foot-10.
A five-time PBA champion, Brownlee played in both conferences of the Commissioner's and Governors' Cup four years ago.
He was able to lead the Gin Kings in beating the San Miguel Beermen in six games of their championship series in the Commissioner's Cup, but failed on his bid of completing a three-peat in the Governors' Cup when Ginebra lost to the Magnolia Hotshots Pambansang Manok in four games of their best-of-five semifinals series.
But his last two stints with Barangay Ginebra turned out to be successful. In the 2019 Governors' Cup, he was able to inspire the Gin Kings to a five-game series win over the Meralco Bolts and when the tournament returned two years later, he backstopped his team's continued dominance against their favorite victims.
Brownlee is the second winningest import ever to play in the PBA, next to Sean Chambers, who also won all those six championships playing under Cone.
It didn't come as a surprise that Cone is following the same path of betting all in on Brownlee, much like what he did with Chambers.
In 1996, Chambers had to play for two conferences with Cone, then head coach of Alaska, and led the Milkmen to winning those two championships in the import-laden conferences on their way to capturing a grand slam.
"It's the same with Sean Chambers. The decision to bring Justin is not just because of Brownlee's talent, but more because he's a great chemistry guy. His teammates love him, the fans love him and I've never seen an import who is extremely motivated to win every tournament than Justin," added Cone.
About a month ago, Cone had an opportunity of a lifetime being invited to become a member of the Miami Heat coaching staff for the NBA Summer League.
Right there and then, Cone had a bird's-eye view on potential PBA imports, who are bigger, stronger and probably more talented, but the winningest coach in PBA history was already decided on recalling Brownlee.
"Of course, it's natural that you can see players playing in the Summer League and say that 'these players are potential PBA imports', but you also have to understand that these good players are probably locked in to play for NBA teams or probably in Europe," said Cone.
"But the decision to bring back Justin, more than his skill-set and his capabilities to play against bigger imports, was because of his familiarity with the system and the attitude he brings to the team. He's a proven winner. No doubt, we're bringing him back."
Cone's decision to stick with Brownlee, who stands below 6-foot-5, was also a tribute to the trust he is giving to his big local players -- Christian Standhardinger and Japeth Aguilar.
At 6-foot-7, Cone believes Standhardinger is the best local big man defender.
"To my mind, Christian Standhardinger is the best local big man defender in the PBA," said Cone. "We've seen that on how he defends June Mar Fajardo."
"Japeth, on the other hand, is our best rim protector. With those two players playing side by side, you have a Standhardinger who is the best on-ball defender among our big men and Japeth as our best off-ball defender." |

BUCHAREST, April 5 (Reuters) - Romania will expel ten Russian diplomats who are not acting in accordance with international rules, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday, joining other European countries which have expelled Russian diplomats in recent days.
The moves coincide with outrage across the continent over reports of the discovery of mass graves and of civilian killings in the Ukrainian town of Bucha following the retreat of Russian soldiers.

"The ministry has reiterated it firmly condemns the crimes committed in Bucha and other Ukrainian towns for which Russia is responsible."

Moscow expels 10 Romanian and a Bulgarian embassy staff in retaliation for Russian diplomats’ expulsion.
Russia has expelled 10 Romanian diplomats, as well as a Bulgarian, in retaliation for a similar move by the two countries following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Romanian foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday that “the Russian Federation declared 10 employees of the Romanian embassy in Moscow persona non grata”.
The news was confirmed by Moscow and follows the April 5 expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats “whose activities breached the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations”, according to the Romanian foreign ministry.
The Russian foreign ministry also said on Friday it “firmly rejects the groundless attempts by the Romanian side to blame Russia for war crimes in Ukraine”.
It slammed “Bucharest’s policy of whitewashing the atrocities committed by [Ukraine’s] national guard against civilians as well as the supply of weapons, equipment and other assistance to the regime in Kyiv”.
‘Stream of outright lies’
Romania summoned the Russian ambassador to Bucharest Valery Kuzmin on Thursday to protest an article published on the Russian embassy website, that said “a stream of outright lies, falsifications, staged provocations, and disinformation” about what was happening in Ukraine was “created and financed by the collective West”.
“The repeated use by the Russian mission of inappropriate, offensive and provocative language directed at Romania and NATO is unacceptable,” the ministry said.

https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/at-12-years-old-this-texas-kid-is-headed-to-college/ | AUSTIN (KXAN) — At 12 years old, Deep Hayer is already gearing up for college at Austin Community College.
“His understanding of life was much more mature than his peers,” said Rosie Hayer, his mother.
At a young age, Deep’s parents noticed his maturity and his love for learning. In the first grade, he was reading at a seventh-grade level.
“He was going to school and it wasn’t challenging for him,” said his father, Roger Hayer.
That love for reading and wanting to soak in as much knowledge as possible led him to his next goal in life, going to college.
“If I am not getting a challenge now, then why not go to a college?” Deep said. “I just feel like it is going to be going to school, and it is going to be a lot harder for sure, but at the same time you are learning still.”
Deep said he’s motivated by setting goals and working hard, a quality he got from his parents. He likes to point out advice his dad gave him at an early age.
“We would have conversations all the time and lessons, and he would say time on task beats talent every time, and I really connected with that,” Deep said.
He has big goals, and they’re going to keep him close to home.
“After I am done with ACC I want to transfer to (University of Texas),” Deep said. “That has always been my dream. I have dreamed of going there from a young age.”
While he is looking forward to classes at ACC, he said leaving middle school and skipping high school was not an easy decision.
“I was skeptical at first, I am going to be missing out on something,” Deep said.
But after laying out the pros and cons, he decided he had nothing to lose.
“I think I am up for the challenge, and with a little bit of help from my parents, I can definitely achieve that goal,” Deep said.

https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Two-injured-in-ORV-crash-burn-17058741.php | GLADWIN - A 22-year-old Freeland man and 23-year-old Sanford women are in stable condition at Hurley Medical Center in Flint where they are being treated for burn injuries after fire engulfed their off-road vehicle Sunday following a crash near Gladwin.
Both riders were air lifted to Hurley and treated for severe burn injuries. Another man was also taken to Hurley for burns he suffered while trying to help the female passenger out of the burning ORV, said Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division Lt. Brandon Kieft.
Kieft said Tuesday that officers are still investigating to see what the major cause of the crash and burning was.
Authorities withheld the victims' names, yet their names were learned from a GoFundMe page. The victims' names are Carter Bean and Karleigh Zmikly. A family member said the ORV became engulfed in flames and flipped with the couple getting out just before the vehicle exploded. Their long time friends, Zac and Chad Chichester reportedly saved their lives – Chad Chichester also suffered serious burns.
The family reported that both Bean and Zmikly suffered burns on their heads, necks, faces and bodies. Both are reportedly sedated and on ventilators, facing several surgeries to address their immediate medical needs and multiple more to try to rescue them from the extreme burns covering their faces and bodies.
The accident occurred in an area of state-managed land west of Adams Road near the Island Lake Road intersection about 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Emergency workers were told the ORV rolled and possibly exploded.
Conservation Officer Ryan Weakman was the first law enforcement officer to arrive at the scene, joining EMS personnel. Both riders were on the same ORV. They had been parked at the Gladwin County snowmobile trailhead with a group of friends they had been riding with.
Witnesses told Weakman that the man drove a 2020 Can-Am X3 side-by-side over a small dirt hill. The ORV landed on its nose, flipped, overturned, and caught fire.
The man was reportedly able to crawl away from the ORV, but the woman passenger was stuck in the safety harness, and she had to be removed by others at the scene. Both people in the ORV were wearing safety harnesses. Helmets are not required on this type of ORV and neither person wore one. Kieft said the event serves as a reminder that it is a good idea to ride with others.
The Gladwin Fire Department, Gladwin County Sheriff's Office, Mid-Michigan Medical Center EMS and LifeNet (helicopter) assisted the DNR.
Michigan conservation officers are fully commissioned state law enforcement officers who provide natural resources protection, ensure recreational safety, and protect residents through general law enforcement and lifesaving operations in the communities they serve.
“We’re doing a lot more crime enforcement,” Kieft said, citing that DNR have vehicles that navigate tough terrain better than most police cruisers. “This is especially in northern Michigan area where it’s tough to get police to certain calls."

The 23-year-old Midland County woman and the 22-year-old Saginaw County man were in the ORV on state land west of Adams Rd. near the Island Lake Rd. intersection. DNR conservation officers investigating the crash say the riders were parked at the Gladwin County snowmobile trailhead with a group with whom they were riding when the man drove over a small dirt hill, causing the ORV to flip onto its front end. The ORV overturned and caught on fire.
Both riders were wearing a safety harness. The man was able to crawl away from the vehicle, though the woman needed to be removed from her harness. An unidentified man at the scene helped the pair and received burns as a result. He was taken to Hurley Medical Center in Flint for treatment. The man and woman were airlifted to Hurley for treatment of burns also, where they are listed in stable condition. |

About 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 3, dispatchers were notified an ORV had rolled over and possibly exploded. They directed emergency responders to the crash site on state-managed land west of Adams Road near the Island Lake Road intersection.
Michigan Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Ryan Weakman was the first law enforcement officer to arrive, joining EMS personnel. He determined both riders — a 22-year-old Saginaw County man and a 23-year-old Midland County woman—were in the same ORV and had been parked at the Gladwin County snowmobile trailhead with a group of friends.
Witnesses told Weakman the man drove a 2020 Can-Am X3 side-by-side over a small dirt hill. The ORV landed on its nose, flipped, overturned, and caught fire. The man was able to crawl away from the ORV, but his passenger was stuck in the safety harness and she had to be removed by others at the scene.
Another man suffered burns while removing the woman from the wreckage.
The two who were riding the ORV were airlifted to Hurley Medical Center in Flint for treatment of severe burns. They were both in stable condition as of Monday morning.
The man who helped them was taken to University of Michigan Medical Center in West Branch, before he was also sent to Hurley Medical Center.
The DNR’s Law Enforcement Division is withholding the names of those involved pending an ongoing investigation into the crash.
Both people in the ORV were wearing safety harnesses. Helmets are not required on this type of ORV and were not worn by either of the injured riders.

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP — A Lindenwold resident called in a fake report of a shooting in hopes of getting out a traffic stop, according to authorities.
Katelynn Hunter-Fisher was arrested on Monday for filing a false police report and obstruction of justice.
According to Gloucester Township police, the 38-year-old made a 911 call while pulled over by an officer on Blackwood Clementon Road. The accused told dispatchers about a "shooting in progress" at the Millbridge Garden Apartment Complex, according to police.
While officers were on the scene, the caller provided several different apartment numbers. But officers weren't seeing any suspicious activity. Officers verified that there had been no shooting at the apartment complex.
An investigation traced the number of the 9-1-1 call to Hunter-Fisher. It was determined that the accused called in a false report in an attempt to distract the officer who was performing the motor vehicle stop.

A driver in Gloucester Township tried to get out of a traffic stop by fabricating a shooting at nearby apartment complex, police said.
Katelynne Hunter-Fisher, 35, of Lindenwold, was charged with filing a false police report and obstruction of justice, the Gloucester Township Police Department said.
Hunter-Fisher allegedly called 911 to report a shooting at Millbridge Gardens in Lindenwold amid a motor vehicle stop at 1 p.m. Monday. She allegedly claimed multiple units were impacted, but police determined there had not been a shooting.
Investigators traced the caller's number to Hunter-Fisher, who had been stopped by an officer when the call was made. Police say allege she made the call to distract the officer from completing the traffic stop.
Investigators traced the fake caller's number to Lynn-Fisher, a driver who they realized had been stopped by an officer at the time of the fake shooting.
Police did not immediately respond to request for additional information about the incident. They have not stated whether the officer successfully ticketed Hunter-Fisher.

CLEMENTON, N.J. - A woman is facing charges after authorities in Camden County say she made a bogus 911 call about a shooting in an effort to distract an officer who had pulled her over.
On Monday afternoon, authorities say the Gloucester Township Police Communications Center received a 911 call about a shooting at the Millbridge Garden Apartment Complex in Clementon.
Authorities say when officers were responding to the area, they did not observe a shooting scene, and they made several calls to the residents of the complex.
Investigators traced the cell phone number back to Katelynne Hunter-Fisher, which dispatchers were able to recognize from a motor vehicle stop that was in progress at the time the 911 call was made.
Responding officers verified that there was no shooting at the apartment complex, and they were able to locate the Hunter-Fisher in Lindenwold.
Police determined that Hunter-Fisher called in the false shooting report in an attempt to distract the officers from completing the motor vehicle stop.
Hunter-Fisher, 35, was arrested for filing a false police report and obstruction of justice.

In a news release issued Thursday, Mercer County Sheriff Dusty Terrell said the incident occurred about noon.
Terrell said a woman was driving when she was motioned to pull over by a white man, possibly in his early 30s, and wearing all black clothing and sunglasses.
The woman believed the man to be a police officer, and the man verbally identified himself as a police officer as he approached her vehicle.
The man appeared to be driving a black or dark-colored smaller SUV without any visible police marking and no visible police lighting, Terrell said.
Terrell said he wanted to remind everyone to be observant to unusual activity.
People are also reading…
“You are required to pull over only for visible flashing red lights,” Terrell said. “If, for whatever reason, you are questioning the authenticity of a police stop turn on your hazard lights, slow down and continue to drive to a safe place while calling 911 to verify that the stop is legitimate.”
Anyone with information about this event or has had something similar occur to them is asked to call the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department at 309-582-5194, or Mercer County Crime Stoppers at 309-582-3500. |

Imagine being an unknown and in a competition show where a song you wrote and have to perform is up against famous people doing the same. People like Macy Gray. Stars like Michael Bolton.
Seems like why bother, right?
Well, there’s a show just like this where the famous and the outright unknowns can face off against each other each representing a state in our nation. It’s called “American Song Contest” and it airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on NBC.
Who is representing New Jersey?
Someone not very well known. Brooke Alexx. She’s 26. She grew up in Bergen County in Old Tappan. More recently moved to Nashville with an eye on a music career.
She performed her own original song called “I Don’t Take Pictures Anymore.” And it’s catchy as hell.
She didn’t end up at the top of the heap but came in 5th and was not eliminated. Not bad going up against the professionals like Michael Bolton representing Connecticut and Macy Gray representing Ohio.
Her song had Snoop Dogg mimicking the chorus (I told ya it was catchy) and Kelly Clarkson calling Alexx’s line “Guess I’m just waiting for something worth framing” the best lyric of the night.
Brooke Alexx can stay in the competition and advance if she gets enough votes. Spread the word to help this unknown New Jersey artist take down the Grammy-winning competition and tell people to vote for her on asc.vote.nbc.com under New Jersey.
Because hey, New Jersey’s always been an underdog worth pulling for!

Alexx, 26, grew up in Old Tappan, Bergen County before moving to Nashville to pursue a career in music.
She performed her original song “I Don’t Take Pictures Anymore” on “American Song Contest,” a Eurovision-inspired show hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson.
Alexx is representing her home state in competition with singers from all states, territories and Washington, D.C. She made her debut during the third qualifying round, which concluded with Tennessee singer Tyler Braden taking top ranking from the show’s jury.
At episode’s end, New Jersey ranked No. 5, below Texas but above Colorado. Public voting is still open (see details below).
The aspiring pop singer started her performance wearing a pink bathrobe and long wig singing on a set made to look like a childhood bedroom. Polaroids were spread out on the bed.
“No, I’m not the girl I was before/hair to my waist, I cut it short,” she sang, tearing off the robe and wig to show her real hair, which is ... shorter!
“Am I better off?” she asks in the song. “I’m torn, but I don’t take pictures anymore.”
After Alexx performed the song, Snoop Dogg mimicked the “don’t take pictures anymore” chorus with a spirited impression. Kelly Clarkson called Alexx’s other line — “Guess I’m just waiting for something worth framing” — her favorite of the night.
Alexx had teased the song on TikTok, where she has built up a fanbase.
Viewers can cast votes for “American Song Contest” contestants on TikTok or vote at asc.vote.nbc.com or the NBC App until each Wednesday morning (the show airs 8 to 10 p.m. every Monday; each person can vote 10 times per platform).
“American Song Contest” lasts eight weeks, with five qualifying rounds (two more to go), two semifinal rounds and a final on May 9.
Just because New Jersey wasn’t chosen by the jury as the top act doesn’t mean Alexx is eliminated. Three more states will be chosen through jury and fan votes to advance to semifinals — those states will be revealed in the next episode.
Some contestants, like Alexx, aren’t widely known performers. Others, like Macy Gray (representing Ohio) and Michael Bolton (Connecticut), are Grammy-winning artists. No matter their level of fame, they have to compete with an original song. (Jewel is competing for Alaska and Sisqó is up for Maryland).
Brooke Alexx started writing songs and learning to play guitar after becoming a Taylor Swift fan in 2008, specifically after hearing her song “Love Story.”
After college, the alum of Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan moved to Nashville, where Swift got her start in music.
Alexx gravitates toward coming-of-age stories in her songwriting, so her Jersey childhood is a key source of inspiration.
“It’s all based on my family and my roots,” she told NJ Advance Media ahead of the show’s March premiere.
Alex, who is of Japanese American and Jewish American heritage, said she was proud to be performing with Asian American backup dancers on the show.
In “I Don’t Take Pictures Anymore,” she reminisces about watching Nickelodeon as a kid at 10 a.m., when she thought her 20s would be nothing but magical.
“Swore I was gonna marry the first guy I dated, back when I had braces and love wasn’t complicated,” she sings. “And now I stand at my friends’ weddings wondering if I’ll ever be ready.”
“I wrote this song to instill confidence in people the way that New Jersey instilled confidence in me,” she said during her prerecorded intro segment, which featured Seaside Heights and Alexx getting $20 in gas at a local station (she didn’t know how to pump her own until she left for college in North Carolina).
Alexx, who performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago this past summer, is playing White Eagle Hall in Jersey City this June.
“American Song Contest” airs 8 to 10 p.m. ET Mondays on NBC. To vote for Brooke Alexx or any other contestant, head to asc.vote.nbc.com, TikTok or the NBC App. Votes (up to 10 per person per platform) are counted until Wednesday morning after each Monday show.

Singer Brooke Alexx, who hails from Old Tappan, didn’t get enough public votes in the NBC competition to advance the Garden State to the semifinals. But that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road for Alexx or New Jersey.
Alexx, 26, took to the national stage April 4 with “I Don’t Take Pictures Anymore,” a coming-of-age song that saw her start the performance wearing a long wig and bathrobe, sitting in a childhood bedroom.
“No, I’m not the girl I was before/hair to my waist, I cut it short,” she sang, tearing off the robe and wig to show her short hair.
“Am I better off?” Alexx asks in the song. “I’m torn, but I don’t take pictures anymore.”
She was moved to pursue music as a child after hearing Taylor Swift. The TikTok-fueled aspiring pop singer, who now resides in Nashville, told NJ Advance Media she auditioned for “American Idol” and “The Voice” before joining “American Song Contest.”
“My goal and my hope is to be able to inspire young women in the same way that Taylor Swift inspired me when I was young,” she said.
“American Song Contest” includes artists from states, territories and Washington, D.C. Each competitor’s ranking is determined across a series of qualifying rounds. Their positions are the result of the show’s jury selection and a public vote, which is open during the competition each Monday night through Wednesday morning.
Later in “American Song Contest,” which is hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson, two fan-favorite songs will bring their states back into play through a redemption round. This is where Brooke Alexx and New Jersey may have one last chance, if Alexx’s song can drum up enough public support.
Tennessee (Nashville country singer Tyler Braden) held the lead in last week’s competition as the winner of the jury vote.
In the result of the combined jury and public vote announced Monday, New Jersey had a chance to move into the semifinals in one of that round’s three remaining slots. Colorado (Riker Lynch), Alabama (Ni/Co) and Texas (Grant Knoche) received more votes to join Tennessee in the semifinals.
Also not advancing from last week: Grammy-nominated singer Jewel, who’s competing for Alaska.
A sprinkling of other known and established artists are in the competition. In Monday’s fourth qualifying round, Grammy-nominated big beat group The Crystal Method competed for Nevada.
Massachusetts pop singer Jared Lee (”Shameless”), who has worked in the music industry as a songwriter and producer, rose to No. 1 during Monday’s show before he was toppled by R&B and soul singer Allen Stone.
Stone, who has released five albums since 2010 and was featured on the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis song “Neon Cathedral” from their Grammy-nominated album “The Heist,” represents Washington state. He won over the show’s jury with his vibey song “A Bit of Both.”
Besides Washington, Massachusetts and Nevada, acts from New Hampshire, Utah, Washington, D.C., Georgia, Hawaii, West Virginia, Arizona and Pennsylvania performed Monday in the fourth qualifying round.
The public vote, in progress through Wednesday morning and revealed in the April 18 episode of “American Song Contest,” will determine who else besides Washington state moves on.
Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Connecticut and Puerto Rico advanced during the first round and Kentucky, North Dakota, Kansas and Montana made it in the second round.
“American Song Contest” lasts eight weeks. After two semifinal rounds, there will be a final on May 9.
Viewers can cast votes for “American Song Contest” contestants on TikTok, or vote at asc.vote.nbc.com and the NBC App until 7 a.m. ET Wednesday (each person can vote up to 10 times per platform).
“American Song Contest” airs 8 to 10 p.m. ET Monday on NBC.

https://nj1015.com/these-are-new-jerseys-safest-cities/ | These are New Jersey’s safest cities
Every year a home security company, Safewise, puts out its list of safest cities and ranks them for each state.
They use a variety of criteria, but the bulk of the data comes from the FBI's crime reports, using: voluntary, self-reported information that cities and jurisdictions across the country report through the FBI Summary Reporting System (SRS) and National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
Rankings are based on both violent and property crime numbers. We looked at the number of reported violent crimes (aggravated assault, murder, rape, and robbery) in each city and the number of reported property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft).
In New Jersey, 244 cities met the population and reporting requirements to be included in the list. Some interesting findings:
- Only 10 of the safest cities reported violent crime numbers in the double-digits, with none reporting more than 27.
- 7 of the safest cities reported 0 violent crimes, and 47 reported 0 murders.
- 48 cities (96%) reported fewer than 1 violent crime per 1,000 people.
- No city reported more than 5.5 property crimes per 1,000—that’s less than half the state rate
- The average median household income among the safest cities is $124,565—nearly double the national median household income of $67,521. New Jersey’s median household income is $85,239.
All that being said, what are the safest cities in New Jersey, according to Safewise.com?
Sparta
Ringwood
Hasbrouck Heights
River Vale
Berkeley Heights
Monroe, Middlesex County
Wanaque
Bernards
Jefferson
Robbinsville

Rates of violent crime and property crime are on the decline overall in New Jersey, but some spots are incredibly safer than others.
Safewise, an online resource for safety information and tools, is out with its 2022 rankings of the safest municipalities in the Garden State. There is a new No. 1.
Using the latest FBI crime statistics, which include reporting from individual law enforcement agencies, Safewise found that New Jersey's violent crime rate dropped nearly 6% over the year. The property crime rate fell 13%.
When surveyed by Safewise, New Jersey residents said they are most concerned about property crime, followed by violent crime, package theft, and gun violence. Despite a crime-rate decrease, 52% percent of Garden State residents said they feel safe here, compared to 55% of Americans.
Below is a list of the 10 safest cities in New Jersey, according to Safewise. They're all located in the northern half of the state.

Spidaletto said he's been told be detained criminals that they try to avoid Sparta — Route 15 runs through the township.
"It's just nice to be recognized," said Mayor David Smith. "We see a lot nationally, what's going on with the police forces — it is the complete opposite in this township. The love for the police in this township, you can't say enough about it."

In New Jersey, 244 cities met the population and reporting requirements to be included in the list. Some interesting findings:
- Only 10 of the safest cities reported violent crime numbers in the double-digits, with none reporting more than 27.
- 7 of the safest cities reported 0 violent crimes, and 47 reported 0 murders.
- 48 cities (96%) reported fewer than 1 violent crime per 1,000 people.
- No city reported more than 5.5 property crimes per 1,000—that’s less than half the state rate
- The average median household income among the safest cities is $124,565—nearly double the national median household income of $67,521. New Jersey’s median household income is $85,239.
All that being said, what are the safest cities in New Jersey, according to Safewise.com?
Sparta

River Vale
Berkeley Heights
Monroe, Middlesex County
Wanaque

It seems like every time we turn around we see New Jersey cities on a "top 100 list" for all that’s negative: Highest taxes, most people looking to flee, least business-friendly, etc.
I’d like to tell you that this list is different, but it’s not.
Every year, the website Neighborhood Scout puts together the numbers of the most dangerous cities in America. We are lucky that none of our New Jersey cities ever land in the top 10. But unfortunately, we always have some contenders among the top 100 most dangerous cities in America. And, for 2022, one is in the top 15!
As was the case in surveys past, the Neighborhood Scout research includes only big cities in America—ones that have 25,000 or more residents.
They base their findings on the number of violent crimes—murder, rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault—per 1,000 residents. The ones with the most are considered to be the most dangerous cities in America.
See the full results from Neighborhood Scout here.
Interestingly, the most violent city in America has been the same for a couple years in a row. It is Monroe, Louisiana, which has a violent crime rate of 29.4 per 1,000 people. That means the chance of being a victim of violent crime is 1 in 34.
Most of the cities that end up on this list are repeaters. They keep showing up year after year. Some come and go, like Salt Lake City, Utah, which disappeared for a while and for some reason is back on the list at number 80. (26% violent crime increase year after year)
I love the Neighborhood Scout database because it actually has a creative feature where you can set a radius around any place you choose to also find the LOW percentages of crime: a.k.a. the SAFEST cities near where you live.
At any rate, this list contains the usual New Jersey suspects. No surprise to anyone, it’s Camden, New Jersey.
At number 14 of the top 100 most dangerous cities in the country, Camden has a Violent Crime Rate of 16.5 per 1,000 residents. In plain talk, that means your chance of being a victim of a violent crime in Camden is a frightening 1 in 61.
Trenton follows at number 57 of the top 100 with Violent Crime Rate of 10.8 per 1,000 residents, making your chance of being a victim in Trenton just one in 93.
The other New Jersey city that makes it to the top 100 is, also pretty predictably, Paterson, with a Violent Crime Rate of 9.0 crimes per 1,000 residents. That makes your chance of being a victim of a violent crime in Paterson a frightening 1 in 111.
For reference, remember, the most dangerous city in America, the aforementioned Monroe, Louisiana has a Violent Crime Rate of 29.4 per 1,000 residents, making your chance of being a victim in this violent Louisiana city only 1 in 3.
I mention this again because I’m hoping that, by comparison, it’ll make you feel safer in our three New Jersey hotspots.

Plenty of people will be looking at new homes over the weekend and if you are looking for a safe place to raise a family, check out the Top 10 safest towns in New York.
Feel Good Mornings With Dave Fields Mon-Fri 6am-10am
CCTV Camera World conducted a study and found the safest cities in America and 10 New York towns landed in the Top 25.
The company analyzed the most recent FBI data on crime rates and ranked the top 100 safest cities in America. The rankings were based on the total crime rate in 7,000 cities across the country. The total crime rate is all crimes such as violent crimes (murder, rape, assault, etc.) as well as property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson).
The rankings were based on crime stats per 100,000 people and violent crimes were weighted more versus property crimes and non-violent crimes for the study.
New York State is also home to one of the largest and safest cities in the country. New York City was ranked as the 3rd safest big city in America coming in behind El Paso, Texas, and San Deigo, California.
Yonkers, New York was also named one of the top 10 safest medium-sized cities in America. It was rated as the 8th overall safest medium-sized city in the country.
Port St. Lucie, Florida was ranked as the #1 overall safest medium-sized city in America.
Overall according to the crime stats from the FBI, violent crime was increasing while non-violent and property crime was decreasing. Most experts attribute the rise in violent crime to the lock-downs, mask mandates, and isolation that were common with the battle against the COVID-19 virus.So if you are looking to live in the safest cities in New York, Here are the Top 10. |

https://cw33.com/news/here-are-the-five-states-with-the-highest-gas-prices-tuesday/ | (The Hill) — High inflation and Russia’s war in Ukraine have led to skyrocketing gas prices across the U.S. The average price for a gallon of gas in the country as of Tuesday was $4.17, according to AAA.
To combat the high prices, Maryland and Georgia paused state gas taxes, while President Joe Biden announced he would release about 1 million barrels of oil from U.S. reserves each day for the next six months.
As of Tuesday, states with the highest gas prices are mainly concentrated in the upper east coast and the west coast, while Alaska and Hawaii also rank near the top.
Below are the five states that currently have the highest gas prices in the country, according to the latest data from AAA.
California
The average price per gallon of gas in California is $5.83, the highest in the U.S.
The state’s soaring gas prices are likely a result of high taxes and California’s reliance on in-state fuel lines or fuel shipments by boat or truck rather than inter-state pipelines, experts told The Hill.
Some of the highest gas prices in California are in the San Bernardino area, which is averaging about $5.91 for a gallon of gas, according to a chart from Gasbuddy.
Hawaii
Drivers in the pacific island state are paying an average of $5.22 for a gallon of gas.
The AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch said the average per-gallon price is a record in the state. Analysts said Biden’s release of oil from the nation’s reserve likely won’t have much of an impact on the island nation’s oil supply, but could still help lower costs.
The island of Kauai has some of the highest prices in the state, with an average of $5.46 per gallon, per Gasbuddy.
Nevada
Average prices in Nevada are the third-highest in the country, reaching $5.17 for a gallon of gas as of Tuesday.
Around tourist-centric Las Vegas, gas prices have leaped to $5.31, according to Gasbuddy.
Average prices in the state have climbed a dollar from $4.17 in early March.
Alaska
Prices in Alaska have now reached $4.71 for a gallon of gas on average.
The highest prices in the state as of Tuesday were $4.83 per gallon in the borough of Valdez-Cordova, which is about 150 miles southeast of Anchorage.
Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) has called on President Biden to produce more oil at home to offset the high gas prices, accusing Biden of “begging for oil from dictatorships such as Iran and Venezuela.”
“We can produce it at home with the highest of standards for environmental protection, if you will simply let us,” he said in a release in early March.
Washington
Washington state ranks fifth for the average price of a gallon of gas, at $4.70.
The Seattle area is reporting an average of $4.91 per gallon, the highest in the state, according to Gasbuddy.
Washington has one of the highest gas taxes in the state and, like California, has a more limited supply infrastructure.

https://cw33.com/news/senate-panel-deadlocks-on-ketanji-brown-jackson-but-nomination-will-proceed/ | WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked, 11-11, Monday on whether to send Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination to the Senate floor. But President Joe Biden’s nominee is still on track to be confirmed this week as the first Black woman on the high court.
The committee’s tie vote was expected, as there is an even party split on the panel and all of the Republicans are opposing Jackson’s nomination to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. But it was still a blow to Democrats who had hoped for robust bipartisan support — and it was the first time the committee has deadlocked on a Supreme Court nomination in three decades.
In order to move forward, Democrats planned a new vote to “discharge” Jackson’s nomination from committee Monday evening and then take a series of procedural steps in the coming days to wind it through the 50-50 Senate. With the support of at least one Republican, Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Jackson is on a glidepath toward confirmation by the end of the week.
“Judge Jackson will bring extraordinary qualifications, deep experience and intellect, and a rigorous judicial record to the Supreme Court,” Biden tweeted Monday. “She deserves to be confirmed as the next justice.”
After more than 30 hours of hearings and interrogation from Republicans over her record, Jackson is on the brink of making history as the third Black justice and only the sixth woman in the court’s more than 200-year history. Democrats cite her deep experience in her nine years on the federal bench and the chance for her to become the first former public defender on the court.
The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said at Monday’s meeting that Jackson has “the highest level of skill, integrity, civility and grace.”
“This committee’s action today in nothing less than making history,” Durbin said. “I’m honored to be a part of it. I will strongly and proudly support Judge Jackson’s nomination.”
The committee’s top Republican, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, said he was opposing Jackson’s nomination because “she and I have fundamental, different views on the role of judges and the role that they should play in our system of government.”
The committee hadn’t deadlocked since 1991, when Biden was chairman and a motion to send the nomination of current Justice Clarence Thomas to the floor with a “favorable” recommendation failed on a 7-7 vote. The committee then voted to send the nomination to the floor without a recommendation, meaning it could still be brought up for a vote.
Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat on the committee, said last week that a panel tie vote on Jackson would be “a truly unfortunate signal of the continued descent into dysfunction of our confirmation process,”
So far, Democrats know they will have at least one GOP vote in the full Senate — Collins, who announced last week that she would support the nominee. Collins said that though they may not always agree, Jackson “possesses the experience, qualifications and integrity to serve as an associate justice on the Supreme Court.”
It’s unclear whether any other Republicans will join her. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky set the tone for the party last week when he said he “cannot and will not” support Jackson, citing GOP concerns raised in the hearing about her sentencing record and her backing from liberal advocacy groups.
Republicans on the Judiciary panel continued their push Monday to paint Jackson as soft on crime, defending their repeated questions about her sentencing on sex crimes.
“Questions are not attacks,” said Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, one of several GOP senators on the panel who hammered the point in the hearings two weeks ago.
Jackson pushed back on the GOP narrative, declaring that “nothing could be further from the truth.” Democrats said she was in line with other judges in her decisions. And on Monday they criticized their GOP counterparts’ questioning.
“You could try and create a straw man here, but it does not hold,” said New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.
The questioning was filled with “absurdities of disrespect,” said Booker, who also is Black, and he said he will “rejoice” when she is confirmed.
Collins and Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina were the only three to vote for Jackson when the Senate confirmed her as an appeals court judge last year. Graham said Thursday he won’t support her this time around; Murkowski said she was still deciding.
Collins’ support likely saves the Democrats from having to use Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote to confirm Biden’s pick, and the president called Collins on Wednesday to thank her. Biden had called her at least three times before the hearings, part of a major effort to win a bipartisan vote for his historic nominee.
It is expected that all 50 Democrats will support Jackson, though one notable moderate Democrat, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, hasn’t yet said how she will vote. | 0 | 1,344 | 0 | https://wsvn.com/news/senate-panel-deadlocks-on-jackson-confirmation-on-track/ | 2022-04-04 22:21:53+00:00 | WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked, 11-11, Monday on whether to send Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination to the Senate floor.

After more than 30 hours of hearings and interrogation from Republicans over her record, Jackson is on the brink of making history as the third Black justice and only the sixth woman in the court’s more than 200-year history. Democrats cite her deep experience in her nine years on the federal bench and the chance for her to become the first former public defender on the court.
The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said at Monday’s meeting that Jackson has “the highest level of skill, integrity, civility and grace.”
“This committee’s action today in nothing less than making history,” Durbin said. “I’m honored to be a part of it. I will strongly and proudly support Judge Jackson’s nomination.”
The committee’s top Republican, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, said he was opposing Jackson’s nomination because “she and I have fundamental, different views on the role of judges and the role that they should play in our system of government.”
The committee hadn’t deadlocked since 1991, when Biden was chairman and a motion to send the nomination of current Justice Clarence Thomas to the floor with a “favorable” recommendation failed on a 7-7 vote. The committee then voted to send the nomination to the floor without a recommendation, meaning it could still be brought up for a vote.
Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat on the committee, said last week that a panel tie vote on Jackson would be “a truly unfortunate signal of the continued descent into dysfunction of our confirmation process,”
So far, Democrats know they will have at least one GOP vote in the full Senate — Collins, who announced last week that she would support the nominee. Collins said that though they may not always agree, Jackson “possesses the experience, qualifications and integrity to serve as an associate justice on the Supreme Court.”
It’s unclear whether any other Republicans will join her. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky set the tone for the party last week when he said he “cannot and will not” support Jackson, citing GOP concerns raised in the hearing about her sentencing record and her backing from liberal advocacy groups.
Republicans on the Judiciary panel continued their push Monday to paint Jackson as soft on crime, defending their repeated questions about her sentencing on sex crimes.
“Questions are not attacks,” said Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, one of several GOP senators on the panel who hammered the point in the hearings two weeks ago.
Jackson pushed back on the GOP narrative, declaring that “nothing could be further from the truth.” Democrats said she was in line with other judges in her decisions. And on Monday they criticized their GOP counterparts’ questioning.
“You could try and create a straw man here, but it does not hold,” said New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.
The questioning was filled with “absurdities of disrespect,” said Booker, who also is Black, and he said he will “rejoice” when she is confirmed.
Collins and Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina were the only three to vote for Jackson when the Senate confirmed her as an appeals court judge last year. Graham said Thursday he won’t support her this time around; Murkowski said she was still deciding.
Collins’ support likely saves the Democrats from having to use Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote to confirm Biden’s pick, and the president called Collins on Wednesday to thank her. Biden had called her at least three times before the hearings, part of a major effort to win a bipartisan vote for his historic nominee.
It is expected that all 50 Democrats will support Jackson, though one notable moderate Democrat, Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, hasn’t yet said how she will vote. | 1 | 2,562 | 0 | https://www.ozarksfirst.com/local-news/senate-panel-deadlocks-on-ketanji-brown-jackson-but-nomination-will-proceed/ | 2022-04-04 22:26:48+00:00 | WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked, 11-11, Monday on whether to send Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination to the Senate floor. But President Joe Biden’s nominee is still on track to be confirmed this week as the first Black woman on the high court.
The committee’s tie vote was expected, as there is an even party split on the panel and all of the Republicans are opposing Jackson’s nomination to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. But it was still a blow to Democrats who had hoped for robust bipartisan support — and it was the first time the committee has deadlocked on a Supreme Court nomination in three decades.
In order to move forward, Democrats planned a new vote to “discharge” Jackson’s nomination from committee Monday evening and then take a series of procedural steps in the coming days to wind it through the 50-50 Senate.

Twitter Inc. said in a regulatory filing Tuesday that it entered into an agreement with Musk on Monday that will give the billionaire a seat on its board, with the term expiring at its 2024 annual shareholders meeting.
Musk, either alone or as a member of a group, won't be allowed to own more than 14.9% of Twitter's outstanding stock for as long as he's a board member and for 90 days after.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said in a tweet that the company had been talking to Musk in recent weeks and “it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board."
“He’s both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need on @Twitter, and in the boardroom, to make us stronger in the long-term," Agrawal continued.
Putting Musk on Twitter's board and limiting the amount of stock he can acquire while as a director may be a strategic move on Twitter's part, as Musk became its biggest shareholder and openly questioned the social media platform’s dedication to free speech and the First Amendment.
Musk, who has 80 million Twitter followers, purchased 73.5 million shares, worth about $3 billion. He has also raised the possibility with his massive and loyal Twitter following, that he could create a rival social media network.
Musk has not spoken specifically about any Twitter rule changes he might push. He tweeted Tuesday that he wants to make “ significant improvements to Twitter in coming months! ” Late Monday he launched a poll asking whether users want an edit button, misspelling “yes” as “yse."
In March, Musk told his millions of followers on Twitter that he was “ giving serious thought ” to creating his own social media platform, and has clashed repeatedly with financial regulators about his use of Twitter.
Musk is locked into a bitter dispute with the SEC over his ability to post on Twitter. His lawyer has contended in court motions that the SEC is infringing on the Tesla CEO’s First Amendment rights.

https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Appeals-court-says-US-downplayed-coal-mine-s-17059002.php | BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials improperly downplayed future climate change impacts when they approved a large expansion of an underground Montana coal mine that would release an estimated 190 million tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, a court ruled.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-1 ruling that Interior Department officials “hid the ball” under the Trump administration by failing to fully account for emissions from burning the fuel in a 2018 environmental analysis.
A judge previously ruled against the disputed expansion of the Signal Peak mine in 2017, but allowed mining to continue while a lawsuit brought by environmentalists proceeded.
Monday's ruling sends the case back to the district court level for reconsideration.
It marks the latest in long string of decisions against federal officials going back to the Obama administration for failing to adequately consider climate damages from extracting and burning fossil fuels.
The mine near Roundup is a major employer in central Montana with about 250 workers. Its coal has been exported to countries including South Korea, Japan and the Netherlands, according to court documents.
Interior spokesperson Tyler Cherry said the agency was reviewing the ruling. Signal Peak representatives did not immediately respond to the ruling. | 0 | 80,482 | 0 | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Appeals-court-says-US-downplayed-coal-mine-s-17059002.php | 2022-04-05 17:31:04+00:00 | BILLINGS, Mont.

Monday's ruling sends the case back to the district court level for reconsideration.
It marks the latest in long string of decisions against federal officials going back to the Obama administration for failing to adequately consider climate damages from extracting and burning fossil fuels.
The mine near Roundup is a major employer in central Montana with about 250 workers. Its coal has been exported to countries including South Korea, Japan and the Netherlands, according to court documents.
Interior spokesperson Tyler Cherry said the agency was reviewing the ruling. Signal Peak representatives did not immediately respond to the ruling. |

President Joe Biden and U.S. allies have worked together to levy a crippling of economic penalties against Russia for invading Ukraine more than a month ago, including the freezing of central bank assets, export controls and the seizing of property, including yachts, that belong to Russia’s wealthy elite. But calls for increased sanctions intensified this week in response to the attacks, killings and destruction in the Ukrainian city of Bucha.
The official said the sanctions would further Russia’s economic, financial and technological “isolation” from the rest of the world as a penalty for its attacks on civilians in Ukraine. That isolation is a key aspect of the U.S. strategy, which is premised on the idea that Russia will ultimately lack the resources and equipment to keep fighting a prolonged war in Ukraine.
An increasingly desperate Russia has engaged in military tactics that have outraged much of the wider global community, leading to charges that is committing war crimes and causing other sanctions.
Still, almost all of the EU has refrained from an outright ban on Russian oil and natural gas that would likely crush the Russian economy. The U.S. has banned fossil fuels from Russia, while Lithuania blocked natural gas from that country on Saturday, becoming the first of the 27-member EU to do so. The EU executive branch on Tuesday proposed a ban on Russian coal, while Germany’s government intends to end its use of Russian natural gas over the next two years.
On Monday, President Joe Biden called for his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to be tried for war crimes because of the atrocities and abuses seen around Kyiv after Russian forces pulled back from the Ukrainian capital. The corpses of what appeared to be civilians were seen strewn in yards, many of them likely killed at close range.
Biden said Monday that the U.S. and its allies would gather details for a war crimes trial, stressing that Putin has been “brutal” and his actions “outrageous.”
Associated Press journalists saw dozens of bodies in Bucha on the outskirts of Kyiv. There were at least 13 bodies in and around a building that local people said Russian troops used as a base. Three other bodies were found in a stairwell, and a group of six were burned together.
Many victims seen by AP appeared to have been shot at close range. Some were shot in the head. At least two had their hands tied.

https://cw33.com/reviews/br/kitchen-br/coffee-accessories-br/best-espresso-k-cups/ | Which espresso K-Cup is best?
For coffee lovers, the enticing aroma and flavor of a freshly brewed cup of espresso is hard to beat. For those who have a Keurig at their fingertips, espresso K-Cups give you the freedom to brew your favorite drink on demand.
Buying individual K-Cups makes it easy to enjoy an espresso any time of day or night. Before you buy, there are a few factors to consider, including packaging, flavor and quantity.
For robust yet affordable espresso pods, choose Cafe Bustelo Espresso Style K-Cups.
What to know before you buy espresso K-Cups
As you shop, there are a few things to keep in mind. The number of K-Cups per box, machine compatibility and packaging options all make a difference when it comes to choosing your espresso.
Quantity
K-Cups are not available for individual sale and are only available by the box. You can find them in boxes of eight, 12, 24, 32, 60, 96 or 120.
One K-Cup brews only one serving, so consider how often you plan to enjoy a cup and buy boxes accordingly. Keep in mind that bulk discounts often make larger boxes more affordable.
Compatibility
Before selecting the perfect K-Cup, you need to know whether they’re compatible with your coffee machine. All official K-Cups work with Keurig machines. If you have another brand, check the manufacturer’s specifications of the espresso pods to ensure they’re compatible. The last thing you want is a box full of espresso and no way to brew it.
Packaging
K-Cups are disposable, recyclable or compostable. If they have no label, throw them out with the trash. Otherwise, you’ll notice clear labels on the outer packaging and the individual pods to guide you.
Recyclable K-Cups feature the recycling symbol on the bottom of the plastic pod.
Compostable K-Cups are clearly marked. When tossing out compostable pods, be sure to put them in your area’s commercial composting bin, as the parts are not safe for backyard composting.
What to look for in quality espresso K-Cups
The overall flavor profile, body and crema make each espresso contrast with the next. To find the best drink for your tastes, research these factors before you buy.
Flavor
The flavor of espresso largely depends on the roast level.
All coffees maintain elements of their original fruit flavors through the roasting process, including espresso.
However, deeper flavors are added with longer roasting times. Those darker espresso roasts bring out more flavors like caramel, brown sugar, molasses and chocolate, which the high-pressure extraction process enhances.
Since brewing with K-Cups isn’t identical to brewing with commercial espresso machines, espresso pod flavors are designed to mimic the taste of a classic shot of espresso.
Body
Espresso’s “body” refers to its density and mouthfeel when you drink it. Generally, espresso has a thicker body than regular coffee. The concentration of grounds to water is higher, creating a richer, more robust drink.
Crema
The light-colored layer of espresso that sits on the top of a shot is called the crema. Carbon dioxide mixes with extremely hot water in the brewing, and it forms naturally. The color of the crema tells you the darkness of the roast.
For the most ideal layer of crema, use fresh medium- to dark-roast espresso.
How much you can expect to spend on espresso K-Cups
Most K-Cup espresso pods come in bulk packages from eight to 120 pods for between 20 cents-$1.50 per pod. Name brands such as Starbucks or Lavazza cost the most.
Espresso K-Cups FAQ
How much espresso is in a K-Cup?
A. The amount of coffee grounds in a K-Cup varies by brand, and the amount of water you use when you brew dictates the ratio of grounds to water, making the espresso either more or less robust. Most espresso roasts are designed to brew a single shot, which fills a 4-ounce cup. Espresso pods are also easy to use as a base for a specialty drink like a mocha or latte.
Are espresso K-Cups recyclable?
A. It depends. If K-Cups are recyclable, they will display their recycling instructions on the outer packaging and the bottom of each pod. If your pods are commercially compostable, be sure to toss them in your city’s compost bin, not your personal garden compost. If you don’t see any fine print about recycling or composting, throw your used pods in the trash.

For coffee lovers, the enticing aroma and flavor of a freshly brewed cup of espresso is hard to beat. For those who have a Keurig at their fingertips, espresso K-Cups give you the freedom to brew your favorite drink on demand.
Buying individual K-Cups makes it easy to enjoy an espresso any time of day or night. Before you buy, there are a few factors to consider, including packaging, flavor and quantity.
For robust yet affordable espresso pods, choose Cafe Bustelo Espresso Style K-Cups.
What to know before you buy espresso K-Cups
As you shop, there are a few things to keep in mind. The number of K-Cups per box, machine compatibility and packaging options all make a difference when it comes to choosing your espresso.
Quantity
K-Cups are not available for individual sale and are only available by the box. You can find them in boxes of eight, 12, 24, 32, 60, 96 or 120.
One K-Cup brews only one serving, so consider how often you plan to enjoy a cup and buy boxes accordingly. Keep in mind that bulk discounts often make larger boxes more affordable.
Compatibility
Before selecting the perfect K-Cup, you need to know whether they’re compatible with your coffee machine. All official K-Cups work with Keurig machines. If you have another brand, check the manufacturer’s specifications of the espresso pods to ensure they’re compatible. The last thing you want is a box full of espresso and no way to brew it.
Packaging
K-Cups are disposable, recyclable or compostable. If they have no label, throw them out with the trash. Otherwise, you’ll notice clear labels on the outer packaging and the individual pods to guide you.
Recyclable K-Cups feature the recycling symbol on the bottom of the plastic pod.
Compostable K-Cups are clearly marked. When tossing out compostable pods, be sure to put them in your area’s commercial composting bin, as the parts are not safe for backyard composting.
What to look for in quality espresso K-Cups
The overall flavor profile, body and crema make each espresso contrast with the next. To find the best drink for your tastes, research these factors before you buy.
Flavor
The flavor of espresso largely depends on the roast level.
All coffees maintain elements of their original fruit flavors through the roasting process, including espresso.
However, deeper flavors are added with longer roasting times. Those darker espresso roasts bring out more flavors like caramel, brown sugar, molasses and chocolate, which the high-pressure extraction process enhances.
Since brewing with K-Cups isn’t identical to brewing with commercial espresso machines, espresso pod flavors are designed to mimic the taste of a classic shot of espresso.
Body
Espresso’s “body” refers to its density and mouthfeel when you drink it. Generally, espresso has a thicker body than regular coffee. The concentration of grounds to water is higher, creating a richer, more robust drink.
Crema
The light-colored layer of espresso that sits on the top of a shot is called the crema. Carbon dioxide mixes with extremely hot water in the brewing, and it forms naturally. The color of the crema tells you the darkness of the roast.
For the most ideal layer of crema, use fresh medium- to dark-roast espresso.
How much you can expect to spend on espresso K-Cups
Most K-Cup espresso pods come in bulk packages from eight to 120 pods for between 20 cents-$1.50 per pod. Name brands such as Starbucks or Lavazza cost the most.
Espresso K-Cups FAQ
How much espresso is in a K-Cup?
A. The amount of coffee grounds in a K-Cup varies by brand, and the amount of water you use when you brew dictates the ratio of grounds to water, making the espresso either more or less robust. Most espresso roasts are designed to brew a single shot, which fills a 4-ounce cup. Espresso pods are also easy to use as a base for a specialty drink like a mocha or latte.
Are espresso K-Cups recyclable?
A. It depends. If K-Cups are recyclable, they will display their recycling instructions on the outer packaging and the bottom of each pod. If your pods are commercially compostable, be sure to toss them in your city’s compost bin, not your personal garden compost. If you don’t see any fine print about recycling or composting, throw your used pods in the trash.

https://cw33.com/reviews/br/tools-br/best-kitchenaid-hand-mixer/ | Which KitchenAid hand mixer is best?
Mixing ingredients by hand not only takes a lot of time, but it can also be physically fatiguing. You may find that you quickly break a sweat trying to whip your egg whites to stiff peaks or get that perfect consistency on whipped cream. Powered hand mixers take all the hassle and effort out of those jobs, and KitchenAid makes some of the best.
KitchenAid mixers are available at various price points and in both cordless and corded models. They also come in a wide range of stylish colors, including red, tangerine, aqua cream and blue velvet.
One of the best things about hand mixers is how versatile they are, and that is where the KitchenAid Nine-Speed Digital Hand Mixer KHM926OB really shines. As the name says, it boasts nine speeds, and it comes with four types of attachments to handle all kinds of tasks.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers vs. KitchenAid stand mixers
Stand mixers and hand mixers are commonly found in home and commercial kitchens. Both are very versatile tools, and there is a lot of overlap between the jobs they can perform. Some notable differences between the two may make one better suited for your personal needs than the other.
Perhaps the two most significant benefits of hand mixers are the lower cost and compact size. KitchenAid stand mixers can easily cost $400-$500, while hand mixers cost less than half of that. This makes them a better choice for those on a budget. Hand mixers are also notably smaller and easier to store, making them ideal for kitchens limited in space.
Stand mixers win in terms of convenience and versatility. In addition to things like mixing dough, beating eggs and blending ingredients, stand mixers can also be used for grinding meat, making ice cream and rolling out pasta, as long as you have the necessary attachments. Stand mixers can also perform many of their tasks autonomously without you having to stand there holding the machine the entire time.
Corded vs. cordless
KitchenAid hand mixers are available in corded and cordless models. Cordless models are easier to maneuver without having to worry about being tethered to a power outlet the entire time or a cord knocking something over on the counter.
The downside to cordless models is that you’ll have to remember to charge them regularly, and there is always a chance they could run out of juice in the middle of cooking. Thankfully, KitchenAid has mitigated this issue by making their cordless hand mixers capable of working while plugging them into charge.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A QUALITY KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
Speeds
KitchenAid mixers have anywhere from three to nine speed settings depending on the model. The more speeds a hand mixer has, the more jobs you can use it for since some delicate tasks may require slower speeds while others are best performed at very fast speeds.
Soft start
Hand mixers with a soft start feature begin slowly and then work up to the set speed. This is very helpful for avoiding unwanted messes since you’ll have better control over the mixer and are less likely to send some of the ingredients flying out of the bowl.
Self-standing design
Though not vital to performance, a self-standing design is a nice-to-have feature. This allows you to set down the mixer to focus on another task without having to lay it on its side with the mixing attachments touching the counter.
Ejection button
Anything that adds convenience when in the kitchen helps to make your job easier, and ejection buttons do just that. They eliminate any potential hassle involved in trying to pull out the mixing attachments. Instead, you push a button, and they pop right off.
Attachments
The number of attachments a hand mixer has dictates its versatility in the kitchen. At the very least, every model will come with egg beaters. It is also common for them to include a whisk. Some less common attachments you may also get with some premium models are dough hooks and a blending rod.
HOW MUCH YOU CAN EXPECT TO SPEND ON A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers cost $50-$200.
KITCHENAID HAND MIXER FAQ
Do KitchenAid hand mixers come with a warranty?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are backed by a limited one-year warranty covering replacement parts and labor for fixing manufacturer defects.
Are KitchenAid hand mixers difficult to clean?
A. KitchenAid hand mixers are designed to be easy to clean. They have minimal cracks and crevices for food to get stuck in, and the attachments are all dishwasher safe.

Stand mixers can also perform many of their tasks autonomously without you having to stand there holding the machine the entire time.
Corded vs. cordless
KitchenAid hand mixers are available in corded and cordless models. Cordless models are easier to maneuver without having to worry about being tethered to a power outlet the entire time or a cord knocking something over on the counter.
The downside to cordless models is that you’ll have to remember to charge them regularly, and there is always a chance they could run out of juice in the middle of cooking. Thankfully, KitchenAid has mitigated this issue by making their cordless hand mixers capable of working while plugging them into charge.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A QUALITY KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
Speeds
KitchenAid mixers have anywhere from three to nine speed settings depending on the model. The more speeds a hand mixer has, the more jobs you can use it for since some delicate tasks may require slower speeds while others are best performed at very fast speeds.
Soft start
Hand mixers with a soft start feature begin slowly and then work up to the set speed. This is very helpful for avoiding unwanted messes since you’ll have better control over the mixer and are less likely to send some of the ingredients flying out of the bowl.
Self-standing design
Though not vital to performance, a self-standing design is a nice-to-have feature. This allows you to set down the mixer to focus on another task without having to lay it on its side with the mixing attachments touching the counter.
Ejection button
Anything that adds convenience when in the kitchen helps to make your job easier, and ejection buttons do just that. They eliminate any potential hassle involved in trying to pull out the mixing attachments. Instead, you push a button, and they pop right off.
Attachments
The number of attachments a hand mixer has dictates its versatility in the kitchen. At the very least, every model will come with egg beaters. It is also common for them to include a whisk. Some less common attachments you may also get with some premium models are dough hooks and a blending rod.
HOW MUCH YOU CAN EXPECT TO SPEND ON A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers cost $50-$200.

Mixing ingredients by hand not only takes a lot of time, but it can also be physically fatiguing. You may find that you quickly break a sweat trying to whip your egg whites to stiff peaks or get that perfect consistency on whipped cream. Powered hand mixers take all the hassle and effort out of those jobs, and KitchenAid makes some of the best.
KitchenAid mixers are available at various price points and in both cordless and corded models. They also come in a wide range of stylish colors, including red, tangerine, aqua cream and blue velvet.
One of the best things about hand mixers is how versatile they are, and that is where the KitchenAid Nine-Speed Digital Hand Mixer KHM926OB really shines. As the name says, it boasts nine speeds, and it comes with four types of attachments to handle all kinds of tasks.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY A KITCHENAID HAND MIXER
KitchenAid hand mixers vs. KitchenAid stand mixers
Stand mixers and hand mixers are commonly found in home and commercial kitchens. Both are very versatile tools, and there is a lot of overlap between the jobs they can perform. Some notable differences between the two may make one better suited for your personal needs than the other.
Perhaps the two most significant benefits of hand mixers are the lower cost and compact size. KitchenAid stand mixers can easily cost $400-$500, while hand mixers cost less than half of that. This makes them a better choice for those on a budget. Hand mixers are also notably smaller and easier to store, making them ideal for kitchens limited in space.
Stand mixers win in terms of convenience and versatility. In addition to things like mixing dough, beating eggs and blending ingredients, stand mixers can also be used for grinding meat, making ice cream and rolling out pasta, as long as you have the necessary attachments. Stand mixers can also perform many of their tasks autonomously without you having to stand there holding the machine the entire time.

https://www.localsyr.com/news/international/citing-decreasing-covid-cases-south-africa-ends-emergency/ | JOHANNESBURG (AP) — With declining cases of COVID-19, South Africa on Tuesday ended its national state of disaster, the legal framework used for two years to impose restrictions to combat the pandemic.
South African sports fans can now return to stadiums in large numbers to watch soccer, rugby and cricket matches. Sports venues can take up to 50% of capacity with people who show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test done within 72 hours.
Most restrictions will be lifted, but people will be required to wear masks in indoor public spaces. International travelers must provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test done within 72 hours.
“While the pandemic is not over, and while the virus remains among us, these conditions no longer require that we remain in a national state of disaster,” President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a nationally televised speech Monday night. “Going forward, the pandemic will be managed in terms of the national health act.”
The government used the state of disaster to impose some of the world’s toughest COVID-19 restrictions, including bans on the sales of alcohol and cigarettes and a night curfew.
South Africa, with 60 million people, has been hardest hit by the virus in the continent. More than 100,000 people have died from the disease in the country, which has recorded more than 3.7 million infections since 2020. These official figures are widely believed to be considerably less than the actual numbers, as many cases of the disease have not been recorded, according to health experts.
“We will still be required to wear a face mask in an indoor public space. This is necessary to prevent transmission in high-risk places, especially while many people remain unvaccinated,” said Ramaphosa.
Opposition parties, which have been pressuring the government to lift the state of disaster, have widely welcomed the government’s decisions. It has also been welcomed by the business and tourism sector, saying it would pave the way for the country’s economic recovery after it lost an estimated 2 million jobs during the pandemic.
