Can suspending a cage-free egg law solve the soaring price problem? Nevada takes a crack at it Can suspending a cage-free egg law solve the soaring price problem? Nevada takes a crack at it LAS VEGAS (AP) — Back when egg prices remained securely under $2 a dozen in 2021, Nevada joined several other states concerned about animal ******** in requiring cage-free eggs. Now four years later, a dozen eggs costs an average of nearly $5 in the U.S. because of the lingering bird flu, so Nevada passed a law the governor signed Thursday that will allow the state to suspend that law temporarily in hopes of getting residents some relief at the checkout counter. But it is not quite that simple, which is why the other six states with the same laws are so far reticent to follow suit. Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By relaxing the rule, Nevada might get access to additional eggs, but the supply of all eggs remains tight because nearly 159 million birds have been slaughtered since the bird flu outbreak began in 2022 to help limit virus spread. The virus prompts the slaughter of entire flocks anytime it is found. It is not clear dropping cage-free laws will have a significant effect on egg prices that have peaked at an average of $4.95 per dozen because the farmers who collectively invested several billion dollars in making the switch can’t easily go back to raising chickens packed together in massive barns that they already spent the money to convert. Even if all the cage-free laws went away, big corporations like McDonald’s and Sodexo remain committed to buying only those kind of eggs, ensuring strong demand for cage-free eggs. University of Arkansas agricultural economist Jada Thompson said opening up Nevada to all kinds of eggs “could ease egg prices in Nevada very slightly,” but that it might make prices worse elsewhere because supplies are so tight. Nevada tries to counter high egg prices But Nevada is going to give it a try even if California, Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Michigan don’t seem to be considering it. Arizona, Rhode Island and Utah also have cage-free laws on the books, but theirs won’t take effect for at least a couple more years. Democratic Assemblymember Howard Watts III, who raises chickens in his Nevada backyard, advocated for the 2021 bill to promote the “standard of humane treatment” of the animals. But the ongoing bird flu outbreak in the U.S. has caused egg prices to to hit a record high, and cage-free eggs are generally even more expensive. “One of the things that was not foreseen at that time was this major animal disease outbreak,” Watts testified Tuesday. “As a result, there was no regulatory flexibility to suspend those requirements in the event of a major supply chain disruption.” Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo approved the 120-day suspension of the law Thursday. Ciara Ressel, a spokesperson for the Nevada Department of Agriculture said it will be about a month before people see an impact at grocery stores. Brad Burdsall, owner and chief eggineer at Egg Works, said he is paying more than twice as much for a case of eggs than he was two years ago — $129 for 15 dozen case of eggs. The restaurant implemented a 50-cent surcharge per shelled egg until prices come down. The Nevada bill signed Thursday will give the restaurant access to more sources of eggs, and Bursdall says he is hopeful he can drop that surcharge soon. “I’m really hoping that the governor takes a good, hard look at this cage free thing and decides to keep this a permanent thing,” he said. This month’s jump in egg prices was the biggest since the nation’s last bird flu outbreak in 2015. The previous high was set two years ago when eggs were selling for $4.82 per dozen on average. The average prices mask just how bad it is in some places. Some Californians these days are shelling out $12.99 for a dozen, or more than a buck an egg. Some New York shops even started selling bundles of three eggs to help people who can’t afford a full dozen. A ********* of eggs are produced on cage-free farms The concern with the cage-free requirements is that only about 121 million of the 304 million chickens laying eggs nationwide are raised on cage-free farms, so the supply is limited. Many of the eggs those hens produce are promised to restaurant chains like McDonald’s and Panera, food service giants like Sodexo and Aramark and grocers under long-term contracts that help keep prices down. But even when they do have to pay a premium, grocers sometimes lose money on eggs by selling them cheaply to try to get shoppers in the door. The number of cage-free chickens has steadily increased in recent years because of the laws and the pressure from the companies buying eggs, increasing exponentially from just 38 million at the start of 2017. But the United Egg Producers trade group has estimated it would take at least 226 million cage-free hens to meet all the demand for those eggs, and more customers are clamoring for them, so the supply is tight. The total flock of chickens nationwide used to number above 330 million before the bird flu outbreak began. Even as more egg farmers were converting to cage-free setups over the past decade, prices stayed between $1.40 and $2 per dozen most of the time with only the normal seasonal price spikes around Easter and Thanksgiving until this current bird flu outbreak began in early 2022. If bird flu outbreaks happen to hit cage-free farms hard, there are fewer eggs out there that can replace the lost ones. For example, out of the nearly 47 million birds slaughtered just since the start of December, more than 3 million of them were on five cage-free farms in California. Anytime birds must be killed, it takes months for a farm to resume producing eggs because of the time required to dispose of the carcasses, sanitize the barns and raise new chickens until they are about 5 months old and capable of laying eggs. Other states resist overturning cage-free laws California won’t consider dropping its cage-free law in part because the rule came from a measure voters passed in 2018, so voters would have to approve any major changes. But there doesn’t seem to be much support for changes in other states either. Michigan state Rep. Jerry Neyer, a dairy farmer and chair of the state House Agriculture Committee, said the idea that new cage-free laws are driving up egg prices is a “misconception.” The Republican added that most farms already adapted to comply with the law, so dropping the mandate wouldn’t cut costs. A bill to repeal Colorado’s cage-free requirements, which just took effect on Jan. 1, was killed in its first committee vote last month. The sponsor, Republican state Rep. Ryan Gonzalez, argued that while the avian flu was a major factor in prices, the cage-free rules played a significant role. But the majority of lawmakers on the panel appeared skeptical. Jonathan Kuester, who runs the small Historic Wagner Farm with about 200 Red Star hens in Illinois just outside Chicago, said he doesn’t think cage-free practices are the cause of the egg shortages. He acknowledged his farm is more vulnerable to a bird flu infection than a traditional farm where chickens are confined inside a barn that can be better protected. Kuester’s birds roam free, where they might interact with ducks and geese that are the main carriers of the disease. “The egg shortage that people are seeing is a result of some fairly large flocks being euthanized, and so fewer chickens are currently laying than were three or four months ago,” Kuester said. “There’s been a little bit of a panic, too. People are suddenly buying eggs as quickly as they can, and so you see that shortage.” ___ Funk reported from Omaha, Nebraska. Govindarao reported from Phoenix.

Texas death row inmate mouths final 2-word message to victims’ families before execution Texas death row inmate mouths final 2-word message to victims’ families before execution A remorseful death row inmate pleaded for forgiveness and mouthed one final message before being put to death in Texas on Thursday, 20 years after he killed his strip club manager and another man. Richard Lee Tabler, 46, also admitted to killing two teenage dancers at the club and said he had found God during his two decades in prison. “I had no right to take your loved ones from you, and I ask and pray, hope and pray, that one day you find it in your hearts to forgive me for those actions,” Tabler said strapped to the death chamber gurney, looking at relatives of his victims who watched through a window a few feet away. “No amount of my apologies will ever return them to you.” Florida Newlyweds Get Justice After Family Fishing Trip Ended In ******* He told the victims’ family members that there wasn’t a day that went by in which he didn’t regret his actions and thanked prison officials for their compassion and show that he could “change and become a better man and rehabilitate.” After apologizing several more times, Tabler said that it was the beginning of a new life for him in heaven. Read On The Fox News App He told the warden at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, “I am finished,” and as the drugs began pouring into his body he mouthed once again, “I’m sorry.” Tabler then began breathing quickly. After about a dozen breaths, all movement stopped. Tabler shot and killed Mohammed-Amine Rahmouni, 28, and Haitham Zayed, 25, in a remote area near Killeen in Central Texas on Thanksgiving 2004 after luring them there on the false pretense of buying stolen stereo equipment. Rahmouni was the co-owner of a club called TeaZers and the two had fallen out. Investigators said Rahmouni allegedly said he could have Tabler’s family “wiped out” for $10. The Huntsville Unit prison in Huntsville, Texas, Two days later, Tabler shot and killed an 18-year-old dancer at the club, Tiffany Loraine Dotson, who he said he had been seeing, along with another dancer, 16-year-old Amanda Benefield. Tabler was convicted of killing the two men and sentenced to death, so prosecutors didn’t need to pursue the conviction for the young women’s murders, Paul McWilliams, who prosecuted Tabler nearly two decades ago, told USA Today. “The ******* of the men was as cold-blooded as it could be,” McWilliams said. “The killing of the girls was just senseless. There was absolutely no reason for that.” Bryan Kohberger Case: Idaho Makes Key Move On Firing Squad Executions Dotson’s father, George, was among the witnesses. He declined to comment on Tabler’s apologies, saying he needed time to process what he had just seen but was glad to have seen it. “I couldn’t wait,” he said. “It took me 20 years to get here.” “Today is for Tiffany,” said her godfather, Tom Newton. “And this is justice.” In 2008, Tabler prompted a massive lockdown at the 150,000-inmate prison when he smuggled a cellphone into the facility and began making death-threat phone calls to then-state Sen. John Whitmire, who is now the mayor of Houston. Click Here For The Fox News App During the sentencing phase of his trial, prosecutors introduced Tabler’s written and videotaped statements saying he killed Dotson and Benefield because he was worried they would tell people he had killed the men. Tabler had asked several times for courts to stop his appeals and let him be executed. His lawyers questioned whether he was mentally competent. In 2008, he prompted a massive lockdown throughout the state’s 150,000-inmate prison system when he smuggled a cellphone into the state penitentiary in Huntsville and began making death-threat phone calls to then-state Sen.

Vance attack on Europe ignores Ukraine and defence agenda Vance attack on Europe ignores Ukraine and defence agenda This year’s Munich Security Conference (MSC) was supposed to be primarily about two things: how to end the war in Ukraine without giving in to Russia, and how Europe needed to boost its spending on defence. But the most senior American present, US Vice President JD Vance, used his time at the podium to talk about neither. Instead, he shocked delegates on Friday by roundly attacking Washington’s allies, including Britain, in a blistering attack decrying misinformation, disinformation, and the rights of free speech. It was a very weird 20 minutes – one met largely with silence from delegates in the hall. Even a joke, “if American democracy can survive 10 years of [climate campaigner] Greta Thunberg scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk”, failed to raise single laugh. In short, Vance’s speech has gone down very badly – unequivocally badly. It was extraordinarily poorly judged. But who was it aimed at? A US commentator said to me afterwards: “That was all for US domestic consumption.” The vice president did, however, go on to meet the embattled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who did his best to sound positive. The pair had “a good conversation”, according to Zelensky, who said it marked “our first meeting, not last, I’m sure”. The Ukrainian leader emphasised the need for Washington and Kyiv to speak more and work together “to prepare the plan [on] how to stop Putin and finish the war”. “We want, really, we want peace very much. But we need real security guarantees,” Zelensky added. According to US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin also wants peace, but that is peace on his terms. Unless those have secretly changed, they involve capitulation to Russia’s demands and the permanent ceding of territory to Moscow. Vance’s speech came days after President Trump effectively pulled the rug out from Ukraine’s negotiating position by conceding, via his Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, that restoring Ukraine’s territory to where it was before the first Russian invasion in 2014 is simply “not realistic”. The US also dashed Kyiv’s hopes of joining Nato, a key ambition of President Zelensky, and ruled out sending US troops to help protect Ukraine’s borders from the next time Russia decides to invade. Ahead of the Munich conference Europe was stunned by news that Trump had held an apparently cordial 90-minute phone call with Putin, thus abruptly ending the West’s three-year freeze in talking to the Russian leader that has been in place since the time of the 2022 invasion. The delegates in Munich are scheduled to focus on the war in Ukraine in a high-profile debate on Saturday. The fear in Munich amongst European leaders and their delegations is that in Donald Trump’s rush to secure a peace deal in Ukraine, Putin will emerge victorious, stronger and planning to seize more parcels of land in Europe.

Cook Islands says comprehensive strategic partnership deal signed with China Cook Islands says comprehensive strategic partnership deal signed with China SYDNEY (Reuters) – The Cook Islands said on Saturday that it signed a comprehensive strategic partnership deal with China – a move expected to raise concerns in New Zealand with which it has constitutional ties. The deal was signed by Cook Islands Prime Minister Mark Brown during a visit to Beijing. Brown said this month that he was heading to China seeking a partnership in national development including infrastructure, trade and the economy – drawing ire from New Zealand, which is increasingly cautious about China’s growing presence in the Pacific region. Trusted news and daily delights, right in your inbox See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. A spokesperson for Brown said a comprehensive strategic partnership deal had been signed with China, without providing details. A media statement would be issued later on Saturday, the spokesperson added. The office of New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters said in a statement on Saturday that “once available, New Zealand will consider the agreements closely, in light of our interests and our mutual constitutional responsibilities”. The Cook Islands, a self-governing Pacific country which sits halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii, can interact with the international community as an independent state. But New Zealand provides budget support and commits to defend the island nation, whose people are New Zealand citizens. New Zealand has said its concerns about Brown’s visit to China stem from not having seen the agreements that he plans to sign ahead of the trip, even though it asked to review them. In China, Brown has held talks with institutions on marine science, climate resilience and economic cooperation, he said in a Facebook post on Thursday.

Former owner of famed Biloxi restaurant remembered as warm, joyful & devoted to hospitality Former owner of famed Biloxi restaurant remembered as warm, joyful & devoted to hospitality Some days, Virginia Mladinich would pick her daughter up from kindergarten to shop and eat lunch at the Woolworths counter. It is a happy memory. “That was the kind of mom she was,” Debbie Holstein said. Mladinich, the former co-owner of the famed White Pillars Restaurant and Lounge in Biloxi, died peacefully last month with her family by her side. She was 92. An optimistic and determined daughter of Billings, Montana, Mladinich excelled in the arts and came to Biloxi because she fell in love. She studied ballet in Portland, Oregon, after high school, danced with the San Francisco Ballet Company and eventually met a Biloxi native named John Mladinich. They married in Virginia in 1953. John and Virginia Mladinich are seen here in a photo from 1988. The couple married in in 1953, moved to Biloxi and ran White Pillars Restaurant & Lounge for many successful years. The couple soon moved to the Mississippi Coast. Virginia Mladinich taught private ballet lessons, became an instructor in Sacred Heart High School’s fine arts program and was crowned Queen of Biloxi’s Young Matrons Carnival Ball. They opened the White Pillars in 1970. The building by then was five decades old. The property had become a duplex, Holstein said, and her parents restored it to its original design. Hurricane Camille hit during the renovation. The structure survived even though so many other landmarks were gone. The Mladinich family was determined to preserve what the storm had spared. “It was a necessity,” Holstein said. Virginia Mladinich was a longtime bookkeeper and accountant for the family businesses. She despised it, but did it with a smile. After the storm, she became a hostess at White Pillars. She loved customers and her co-workers, her daughter said. Running a restaurant was “very demanding,” Holstein said. But “you do every practice the same way as you did the day before and you just continue to evolve. That was her approach.” They worked long hours: lunch through midnight, sometimes later. Mladinich would return each morning to count the receipts and check on deposits. Virginia Mladinich, the former co-owner of the famed White Pillars Restaurant & Lounge in Biloxi, died peacefully last month with her family by her side. She was 92. People used to save up for special occasion dinners at White Pillars, and she wanted to make the experience worth it. When students came in for prom, Mladinich told the staff to treat them like adults. Many of White Pillars’ signature dishes were John and Virginia Mladinich’s ideas, said Brooks Holstein, Debbie’s husband. Virginia, he said, worked every day but Sunday and saw the restaurant business as artistic expression. “She had a saying that every meal at the White Pillars should be an event,” he said. “That was her mantra to commit to the communities we got to serve for so many years.” One highlight of John and Virginia Mladinich’s career came from winning Travel Holiday Magazine’s 1989 Distinctive Dining Award. It was the highest recognition for restaurants at the time, akin to the Oscars of fine dining. They were deeply proud to bring the honor to a Mississippi restaurant. Virginia Mladinich, pictured here in 1950, was born in Billings, Montana. She studied ballet in Portland, Oregon after high school and danced with the San Francisco Ballet Company. Mladinich still focused on the arts: She supported the Gulf Coast Arts Council and won the Gulf Coast Opera Salon’s Opera Buff Award. She also earned respect in the business world. She was appointed to The Jefferson Bank’s Advisory Board. The restaurant needed restorations again after Hurricane Katrina. It is now open again under new owners who run the restaurant with the same values as the Mladinich family. “My mother’s legacy should really be the White Pillars,” Debbie said. “No question,” Brooks added.

Warren Buffett Owns 1 Vanguard Index Fund, and It Could Soar 147%, According to a Top Wall Street Analyst Warren Buffett Owns 1 Vanguard Index Fund, and It Could Soar 147%, According to a Top Wall Street Analyst Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, oversees a $298 billion portfolio of publicly traded stocks and securities, besides numerous wholly owned subsidiaries. Berkshire is also sitting on $325 billion in cash, which Buffett and his team can invest in new opportunities when they arise. Berkshire stock has delivered a compound annual return of 19.8% since Buffett became CEO in 1965, crushing the average annual gain of 10.4% for the S&P 500 index over the same *******. It highlights Buffett’s ability as a stock picker, but as a full-time professional, he knows the average retail investors would struggle to replicate his success. That’s why he often recommends they buy exchange-traded funds (ETFs) instead, and Berkshire holds small positions in two of them: the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. Both funds track the performance of the S&P 500, but the Vanguard ETF might be the better choice because of its extremely low cost. According to an estimate from a top Wall Street analyst, investors who buy the ETF today could see a return of 147% by 2030. Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool. The S&P 500 is made up of 500 of the highest-quality companies listed on American stock exchanges. They represent 11 different sectors of the economy, which makes the S&P the most diversified of the major U.S. indexes. To qualify for inclusion in the S&P, companies must have a market capitalization of at least $20.5 billion, and they must be profitable over the most recent 12-month *******. Even then, it’s up to a special committee to decide which stocks make the cut. The Vanguard ETF aims to hold the same stocks while maintaining similar weightings, which is how it tracks the performance of the index. Despite the diversification, the information technology sector alone represents over 32% of the entire value of the S&P 500. That’s because the index is weighted by market capitalization, and each of its three largest holdings — which have a combined value of $9.7 trillion — are from the tech sector: Stock Vanguard S&P 500 ETF Portfolio Weighting 1. Apple 7.59% 2. Nvidia 6.60% 3. Microsoft 6.28% Data source: Vanguard. Portfolio weightings are accurate as of Dec. 31, 2024 and are subject to change. Those three companies are betting heavily on artificial intelligence (AI), as are Amazon, Meta Platforms, Tesla, and Alphabet, which are also top-10 holdings in the Vanguard ETF. AI could be one of the biggest financial opportunities in the history of the tech sector, with the consultancy PwC estimating it could add $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Story Continues But the S&P 500 isn’t all about technology. Berkshire Hathaway itself is the tenth-largest holding in the Vanguard ETF, and sitting just outside its top 10 positions, investors will find JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and more. As I touched on earlier, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is one of the lowest-cost funds in the world. It has an expense ratio of just 0.03%, which is the proportion of an investment deducted each year to cover management costs. In other words, the annual fee on a $10,000 investment is just $3. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, which Berkshire also holds, is three times as costly, with an expense ratio of 0.09%. Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors predicts the S&P 500 could reach 15,000 by 2030, representing a potential upside of 147% from where it trades as of this writing. That’s the return investors can expect from the Vanguard ETF if he’s right. Lee thinks a major demographic tailwind will contribute to the gains, because millennials and Gen Zers are entering their prime working years (between the ages of 30 and 50), which is when they earn the most money and make big life decisions like investing. He also thinks trillions of dollars will be funneled into AI and automation in the coming years to offset shortages in the workforce all over the world. That could drive a productivity *****, and some of that money will probably flow into big tech companies like Nvidia and Microsoft, which provide the tools businesses need to deploy AI. The resulting upside in their stock prices will be a tailwind for the S&P 500. With all of that said, investors should always take Wall Street’s forecasts with a grain of salt because analysts don’t always get things right. However, Lee has been remarkably accurate over the last few years. He predicted the S&P 500 would reach 4,750 in 2023 when many other analysts were cautious, and it closed the year at 4,769. The S&P also exceeded four of his price targets throughout 2024 (5,200, 5,500, 5,700, and 6,000). But he is human, because he issued one final target of 6,300 in December, which didn’t play out. The journey to 15,000 for the S&P 500 is likely to be bumpy. Recessions, politics, pandemics, or even the failure of AI to live up to expectations could be speed bumps along the way. However, history suggests the index always rises to new highs given enough time, so the 15,000 milestone is probably in the cards over the long term even if it doesn’t happen by 2030. As a result, investors should definitely consider taking Buffett’s advice by buying the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF. Before you buy stock in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF wasn’t one of them.

Quantum Research Reveals Time May Not Always Move Forward Quantum Research Reveals Time May Not Always Move Forward A new study has explored the nature of time at the quantum level, uncovering evidence that contradicts the widely accepted notion of a single, forward-moving arrow of time. Researchers have examined the fundamental mechanics of quantum systems interacting with their environment, suggesting that time may not be as fixed as previously believed. The findings, which emerged from an investigation into open quantum systems, indicate that the equations governing these interactions remain unchanged regardless of whether time moves forward or backward. Quantum Systems and Time-Reversal Symmetry According to the study published in Scientific Reports, the research focused on understanding how time emerges as a directional phenomenon. It was observed that while large-scale systems appear to follow a one-way trajectory, the laws governing quantum mechanics do not impose such a restriction. By simplifying the environment surrounding a quantum system and assuming that energy and information dissipate without returning, the researchers demonstrated that time-reversal symmetry is retained even in open quantum systems. Mathematical Mechanisms Behind Time Symmetry As stated by Dr. Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, in an interview with Phys.org, time appears to move forward in everyday life because of observable processes, such as a liquid spreading across a surface. Yet, at a microscopic level, the fundamental equations of physics do not distinguish between past and future. Postdoctoral researcher Thomas Guff, who led the study’s calculations, highlighted that the mathematical framework inherently preserves time symmetry. A critical component known as the “memory kernel” was identified as playing a role in maintaining this balance. Implications for Physics and Cosmology The study has provided new insights into one of the most debated aspects of physics. The findings may have significant implications for fields such as quantum mechanics and cosmology, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of time and its fundamental properties. Scientists continue to investigate how these discoveries could reshape current understanding and applications of time in theoretical and experimental physics.

Trump’s A.G. Just Did Something So Corrupt She Should Be Fired Already Trump’s A.G. Just Did Something So Corrupt She Should Be Fired Already Pam Bondi was approved by the Senate to be attorney general on February 4. On February 5, she was sworn in. And on February 10, five days into her already ghastly tenure, she committed an act so electrically sleazy that in a normally ordered world, she’d be forced from office immediately. Why Bondi? Why is my wrath not limited to Emil Bove, the acting assistant attorney general? After all, it was Bove (apparently rhymes with “no way”) who wrote the instantly infamous memo ordering Danielle Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to dismiss all charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams “as soon as is practicable.” (Sassoon quit instead.) True enough, Bove’s Bond-villain name and his broodingly pharaonic countenance help finger him as an easy bad guy. But read the damn memo. Here’s how it starts: “You [Sassoon] are directed, as authorized by the Attorney General, to dismiss the pending charges in United States vs. Adams.” As authorized by the attorney general. There it is. The top law enforcement officer of the United States, five days on the job, ordered that corruption charges, painstakingly assembled over a multiyear ******* by prosecutors in New York’s Southern District, be dismissed. Why? Well, your average fair-minded person, presented with the facts as I’ve laid them out so far, would assume that said attorney general and her people had discovered new information that exculpated the mayor. That’s how justice works in the movies, right? But not here. In fact, Bove’s memo admits the opposite! It reads: “The Justice Department has reached this conclusion without assessing the strength of the evidence or the legal theories on which the case is based.” Couldn’t be clearer. Bondi’s decision—and please, please, call it that; Bondi’s decision, not Bove’s—had nothing to do with evidence. So what did it have to do with? Two factors. The first is timing. The memo states: “It cannot be ignored that Mayor Adams criticized the prior Administration’s immigration policies before the charges were filed.” That’s a staggering sentence. It assumes an almost casual and universal corruption on the part of prosecutors in the Southern District generally, and the U.S. attorney in particular. This is an outrageous charge: that prosecutors are working to exact political revenge for presidents. That is a morality that Fox News and others have gotten millions of American to cynically buy into. It is not the real-life morality of the Southern District, which for decades has rightfully enjoyed an apolitical reputation. Even when there have been politically ambitious U.S. attorneys in charge who were clearly bringing cases that might benefit them politically—most obviously, Rudy Giuliani prosecuting corrupt Democratic bosses in the 1980s—it had to be admitted that the prosecutions were legit. Giuliani won convictions in those cases, and the city was better off. But this is an accusation—by the nation’s top law-enforcement officer—that the Southern District is, or was, a priori corrupt. It’s the kind of accusation, history instructs us, that is usually made by people who are guilty of exactly that which they allege. And it is an accusation lodged specifically at former U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. Yes, Williams was appointed by Biden. Yes, Williams is a Democrat. But what is his record of politically selective prosecutions? Well, let’s see. He oversaw the indictment of former New York Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin—a Democrat and, for what it’s worth, like Williams, a ****** man (I mention this only because the right-wing media would surely claim the fact as relevant were it expedient to do so). He oversaw the indictment of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey. In 2018, as an assistant U.S. attorney in the same Southern District, he helped secure the indictment and conviction of Sheldon Silver, the powerful former speaker of the New York State Assembly—and, yes, another fellow Democrat. And bear in mind, of course, that the investigation of Adams stretched back years. Read the indictment. It’s more than 50 pages, and it tracks events going back to 2016. You don’t assemble that in a week. Southern District investigators were obviously building an Adams case for years—probably before Williams was even named U.S. attorney, which happened in 2021, and long before Adams cozied up to Donald Trump. On top of all that, suspicion of corruption has swirled around Adams’s head practically since he took office. The notion that the filing of the Adams indictment was somehow tied to his refusal to talk nice about Kamala Harris before the election is the kind of absurd conspiracy that used to be laughable in this country, consigned to the John Birch margins, before the right-wing media promoted this kind of thinking to the extent that it became imprintable on millions of fevered minds. But remember—that’s only the first factor cited by Bove (and Bondi). The second, if you can believe it, is far more ridiculous. The indictment against Adams needs to be dropped posthaste, Bondi ordered, because it’s distracting him from doing his job! I’m not joking: “The pending prosecution has unduly restricted Mayor Adams’ ability to devote full attention and resources to the ******** immigration and violent crime that escalated under the policies of the prior Administration.” This is, to put it politely, not how the law works in this country. Remember that the Supreme Court ruled—unanimously—that even a sitting president can’t be immune from civil litigation on the grounds that it will distract him from his duties. But that was about Bill Clinton, a scourge of the right. For a darling of the right, the rules appear to be different. Except that the dismissal of these charges carries a big asterisk. They were dismissed “without prejudice,” meaning they can be refiled anytime Bondi—or Donald Trump—wants them to be. In other words, Mayor Adams is too busy fighting crime and immigration, but only for as long as Bondi and Trump think he’s fighting it their way. Once he’s not, cuff him. So things go in a nation where it is openly declared that some people are above the law. That was not supposed to be the United States (although often it has been, in the case of rich people). It was supposed to be places like Daniel Ortega’s Nicaragua. But now it is the United States. I didn’t declare it so. Trump did—more specifically, his White House counsel David Warrington did this week, in the form of a memo obtained by The Washington Post stating that it is now the official policy of the Trump administration that the president and vice president (What? Why?) and their top lawyers “can discuss ongoing criminal and civil cases with the attorney general and her deputies.” In other words, Trump—or Vance—can make one phone call and set any investigation they wish in motion, or get one quashed. In other words, they are the law. But don’t forget the central role here of Bondi: “As authorized by the attorney general.” She has proven in a week that she will corrupt her office to any point and in any way that Trump desires. Don’t take it from me. Take it from Sassoon—a Republican and a Federalist Society member who, far from thinking Adams innocent, was about to file a superseding indictment charging him with even more corruption, including tampering with evidence. And take it from the five Justice Department prosecutors who followed Sassoon with their resignations. This is a crisis. A legal and constitutional crisis of a sort seen only a few times in this country’s history. And yet the squashing of the Adams case will pass, as all these things pass, with nary a peep from elected Republicans because a serial liar with a mighty propaganda machine working overtime for him has convinced half the country that up is down, that honor is venality, and that integrity is just a ruse for suckers who believe all that garbage from our schoolbooks.

How to pick the perfect travel camera kit How to pick the perfect travel camera kit What is the perfect travel camera kit? It’s a difficult question to answer because of the constant flood of new models and options from both smartphone and camera manufacturers — and it depends very much on the individual user’s needs and wants. The latest smartphones offer amazing easy-to-use cameras, but they do have some limitations, particularly when it comes to sensor size and optical zoom. The ******* the sensor, the better the quality of your pictures — and the more optical zoom, the more you can zoom in without losing quality. Camera IconNikon Coolpix P1100 Credit: Nikon News of a new and improved version of Nikon’s monster superzoom camera, the Coolpix P1100, which has an incredible 125x optical zoom, got me thinking again about what the perfect travel camera/camera kit is. I have previously suggested a smartphone and a superzoom or mirrorless camera is an ideal combination. My opinion has changed a bit, but before I share my updated thoughts on this, let me explain the pros and cons of each type of camera. Camera IconSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Credit: Ken Leanfore/TheWestSmartphones These have taken over as everyone’s go-to camera for good reason. It’s a convenient all-in-one device, it’s always in your pocket, it’s easy to use, and it takes great pictures and videos in just about any situation. All you need to do is point it at whatever you’re shooting and bingo, it’s in the box. Once you’ve taken the pic, it’s easy to share your pictures and videos — and they are automatically stored on the phone and a cloud service of your choice. The downsides are that because of the physical size limitations, the sensors, which capture the light, are quite small compared with a full-frame mirrorless or DSLR camera, and although many smartphones have decent optical zoom (up to 5x), the quality drops dramatically when it zooms beyond that. Superzoom cameras Cameras like the Nikon Coolpix P1100 I mentioned look like a small version of a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but instead of interchangeable lenses, they have only one buil- in lens that offers an amazing range of optical zoom, from wide-angle to super telephoto. Imagine being on safari and having the ability to shoot a wide-angle landscape picture but also, without changing lenses, zoom in and get close-up pictures of the wildlife way out in the distance. Sounds good, right? The downside is superzooms have small sensors so even though they have an amazing reach, the quality is only on par with a smartphone, not a mirrorless or DSLR camera. In recent years, sensors in smartphones have increased in size and are now often larger than those in superzoom cameras. So although superzooms have much better optical zoom capabilities, one of the latest-model smartphones with up to 5x optical zoom is generally enough for most people unless they are interested in wildlife or sports photography. Like smartphones, superzoom cameras can be set up to be fully automatic, but they also allows the user to take control with semi-automatic or manual options to optimise the results of what they are shooting. Mirrorless and DSLR cameras These offer the best quality and flexibility because of their much larger sensors and interchangeable lenses. When you buy one of these, you are buying into a system you can build on as your skills and photographic interests change. They are a real enthusiast’s camera that offer the photographer access to a huge range of settings to get the most out of any situation — but they can, of course, also be set up as a fully automatic camera so you can quickly point and shoot if needed. The downsides are cost, size and weight. A mirrorless or DSLR camera can be a bit of an investment but if you love photography and choose wisely, it will last you a lifetime. Mirrorless cameras, particularly those with an APS-C size sensor (slightly smaller than a full-frame sensor), are both compact and lightweight compared with a traditional DSLR, which because of the mirror box that is needed to see through the lens, tends to be quite bulky and heavy. Camera IconMogens Johansen’s travel camera kit is a Google Pixel 9 Pro and a Sony A7 III. Credit: Mogens Johansen/The West *********** So, back to the original question: What is the perfect travel kit/camera? Hopefully, armed with this information you should be able to build your perfect kit. Many of you will be happy just to take a good-quality smartphone, but remember the two key limitations . . . sensor size and optical zoom. ******* sensors can capture more light which results in better pictures, and optical zoom allows you to zoom in on something without losing any quality. Camera IconMogens Johansen with the Sony A7II with a 24-70 f/4.0 Credit: Stephen Scourfield/The West *********** Given the improvements in smartphone camera sensors and optical zoom capabilities, I don’t see a compact camera or superzoom in my travel kit. My pick is a premium smartphone from either Apple (iPhone 15 Pro), Samsung (Galaxy S25 Ultra) or Google (Pixel 9 Pro), paired with a compact mirrorless system. I like Sony’s A7 Mark IV full frame camera (I have two Mark IIIs but would like to upgrade) and the following crop sensor cameras: Canon EOS R7 Mark II, Nikon Z50 Mark II, and Fujifilm X-T5. Pair any of these with a wide-angle zoom and a telephoto zoom and you will be able to tackle just about anything. They are all great cameras, but which one you get comes down to personal preference and budget.

Former Elmira church, built in the 1890s, destroyed by fire. What we know. Former Elmira church, built in the 1890s, destroyed by fire. What we know. A former church in the heart of downtown Elmira was destroyed by a fire that broke out late Thursday, and the historic building will be torn down. Firefighters were called out around 10:15 p.m. to 121 W. Church St., the site of the former First ******** Community Church of Elmira, after a city police officer saw flames and notified the 911 Center. The second and third floors of the sprawling structure were engulfed in flames when fire crews arrived on the scene. Fire officials immediately requested a recall of all available fire department personnel, and also called for mutual aid, which was provided by the Southport and Elmira Heights fire departments. The blaze quickly tore through the entire structure and into the roof, officials said, and there were concerns flames would spread to the nearby Verizon building, which is only separated from the church by 10 feet. Firefighters pour water on the burned out remains of the former First ******** Church, 121 W. Church St. in Elmira, on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025. The building, which has been vacant for several years, caught fire about 10 p.m. Feb. 13. Firefighters were still on the scene Friday morning pouring water on the smoldering remains of the building, and city police expected the stretch of Church Street between Clemens Center Parkway and North Main Street would be closed to traffic for the remainder of the day. There were no injuries reported and firefighters were able to prevent the flames from reaching the Verizon building. In addition to the fire, crews had to deal with freezing temperatures and wind overnight, and much of the building and surrounding trees were encased with ice Friday. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the 911 dispatchers and all the responding personnel from other departments for the amazing job you did under these extreme circumstances, as well as the community businesses and members who have reached out today with food and support,” Fire Chief Andrew Mallow said in a news release. Firefighters pour water on the burned out remains of the former First ******** Church, 121 W. Church St. in Elmira, on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025. The building, which has been vacant for several years, caught fire about 10 p.m. Feb. 13. Related Binghamton firefighter killed, 2 others injured while battling major downtown blaze The First ******** Church was built in the 1890s. In October 2010, church trustees sold the property to Marian Laurentiu of Tannery Creek Road in Corning for $82,750, according to Chemung County real property records. The former church has been vacant for more than 10 years, said fire officials, who wouldn’t say yet if they consider the blaze suspicious. The former First ******** Church at121 W.

The structure is considered a total loss, and a demolition company from the Syracuse area was expected to arrive in the area late Friday to begin removal of the tallest portions of the church that pose the biggest safety hazard. The cause and origin of the fire remain under investigation. The Elmira Police Department and New York state fire investigation team are assisting in the investigation.
