Operators will press a button that inserts control rods into the reactor adjacent to the nuclear fuel, Entergy spokesman Jerry Nappi said Tuesday. The control rods absorb neutrons—which stops the fission that creates the energy.
Staffing will be reduced from about 800 workers to 300 about 30 days after Unit 3 shuts down next year, Nappi said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo had long sought the shutdown, saying the plant 24 miles north of Manhattan posed too great a risk to millions of people who live and work nearby.
Riverkeeper noted Hudson River fish kills, soil and water contamination, recurrent emergency shutdowns and vulnerability to terrorist attacks. Entergy cited low natural gas prices and increased operating costs as key factors in its decision to close the reactor.
A year ago, Entergy announced a deal to sell the 240-acre plant to Florida-based decommissioning firm Holtec International, which has submitted a dismantling plan to the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The plant is to be demolished by the end of 2033 at a projected cost of $2.3 billion.
At an online public information session last week, NRC representatives said the commission is reviewing Holtec’s financial and technical qualifications, as well as public comments, before approving the license transfer.
According to the NRC, Indian Point will join 13 other nuclear power plants across the United States that have begun the decades-long process of decommissioning, which dismantles a facility to the point that it no longer presents a radioactive danger.
Entergy said in a statement that it is committed to continued operation of the five nuclear power plants in its utility business in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. It shut down its Pilgrim plant in Massachusetts last year and plans to shut down its Palisades plant in Michigan in 2022, both through decommissioning by Holtec.
Under the decommissioning process, spent fuel rod assemblies are cooled in water for at least two years. Then the spent fuel is transferred into steel-and-concrete cylinders that stay at the site unless or until a national nuclear waste storage facility is created.
Opponents of the Indian Point shutdown note that the plant does not spew air emissions and will be replaced largely by fossil-fuel sources that contribute to climate change.
But a recent study by Physicians, Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy, a nonprofit in Oakland, Calif., found that renewable-energy goals required by New York state will make a sustained increase in natural gas generation unnecessary.

Dakota Fanning, who made her acting debut at age 6 (in an episode of the TV drama “ER”) and went on to earn a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most talented and grounded child stars, will turn 24 next month.
All these years later, Fanning said, she embraces the profession as much as ever.
“I still love it — I really do,” she said by phone from her family’s home in Los Angeles. “I’ve had difficult moments. I’ve had moments where things just happened that have upset me and brought me down a little bit, but it’s never been where it’s made me want to throw my hands up and do something else.”
Acting, she said, is integral to her world.
“I started doing it so young, it’s a part of my identity. I think that, in some way, I’ll always act. But I do want to direct, and I want to produce my own things.”
Audiences have watched Fanning mature onscreen from a kid with a knack for striking the right emotional notes into a teenager with that same rare ability. Among other work, she has had notable performances in “I Am Sam” (2001), “Taken” (2002), “Man on Fire” (2004), “Charlotte’s Web” (2006), “The Runaways” (2009), “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” (2009) and its two sequels, as well as “Very Good Girls” (2013) and “American Pastoral” (2016).
Her current project, “The Alienist,” is an eight-episode limited series set to debut tonight on TNT.
Based on Caleb Carr’s 1994 novel, the story unfolds in 1896, when a serial killer is leaving the mutilated bodies of young male prostitutes all over Manhattan. Determined to solve the murders are Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Daniel Bruhl), John Moore (Luke Evans) and Sara Howard (Fanning).
Kreizler is a psychologist — called an alienist in those days — who uses his training to crack cases by putting himself into the mind of a killer; Moore is a New York Times illustrator; and Howard is a police-department clerk with a lot of ambition and intuition.
“I hadn’t read the book or heard of the book,” Fanning said. “It was funny because everyone I mentioned it to was like, ‘Oh my God, I love that book!’ or ‘That’s amazing!’”
Fanning also didn’t read the book after landing the role.
“I went by the script, which is what I usually do when I’m doing something that’s based on a book,” she said. “I feel like sometimes you get so attached to a book and then maybe the scripts have to take some liberties or make some changes, and that can mess with your mind a little bit.”
The role of Sara Howard, Fanning said, fascinated her.
“She’s the first female to work at the New York Police Department who had a job that’s more than cleaning the floors. I was intrigued by that and by what that meant exactly.”
Howard’s desire to be taken seriously, the actress said, also resonated with her.
“She has to be strong and face difficult situations where she’s seen as ‘less than’ because she is a woman. I was interested in that balance, finding that balance and exploring that.”
Fanning praised the show’s production values, saying she was “endlessly impressed.”
Budapest, Hungary, doubled as late-19th-century New York City, and costume designer Michael Kaplan spared no detail in dressing Fanning, Evans and Bruhl — and others.
“Every day was truly amazing,” Fanning said. “We were there for six months, and by the end, you kind of accepted it as normal. When I first saw the backlot and the sets and the stages, and some of the locations we filmed in, ... I was so in awe at just how grand everything was.
“And the costumes —Michael Kaplan is truly a genius,” the actress continued. “Sometimes, if you are making a costume for a movie or a show and there’s 100 buttons, they’ll sink in and make them snaps, just to make it easier to put on. But Michael doesn’t do that.”
During filming, Fanning said, she, Bruhl and Evans formed “the Triangle” — a friendship deemed the “greatest part of this whole experience.”
“I just love them so much, and they’re truly lifelong friends now,” she said. “We have a group chat on our phone. ... We keep in touch all the time.”

HONG KONG (Kyodo) — The manufacturer of canned Chinese pork meat containing chemical residues and sold in Hong Kong had also used contaminated meat, Shanghai's food inspector said Wednesday.
The Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said in a statement that the food maker Shanghai Maling Aquarius Co. had used the contaminated materials from a slaughterhouse outside Shanghai.
The statement said ''3.2 tons of raw materials used to make the canned meat were contaminated.'' ''Shanghai Maling Aquarius Co. had bought the stock of raw materials from a slaughter house outside Shanghai in September 2006 and used them in the production of the canned pork meat in December 2006.''
The bureau has demanded the company recall the products.
Earlier this month, Hong Kong's Food Safety Center found carcinogenic chemicals including nitrofuran and malachite green in three of 19 samples of the company's canned pork meat.
After being notified of the test results, the bureau has banned exports of all food products, including canned meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables, from Shanghai Maling Aquarius, a famous Chinese brand in Hong Kong.
The bureau's statement, however, did not disclose the name of the slaughterhouse or the cause of contamination.
The statement said subsequent testing of 120 other samples for six carcinogenic chemicals were all negative and the bureau would rescind the export ban once the company has improved management of its raw material sourcing.
China is the largest food source for Hong Kong, and the Chinese food safety watchdog has promised to uphold tight inspection standards for exports to Hong Kong.

Disabled Gig Workers in Canada: Exploring their Experiences and Identifying Interventions to Improve their Safety and Well-being
Platform apps and gig work predate the pandemic, but the number of people that they employ increased sharply as a result of COVID-19 related lockdowns and job losses. Too little is known about the working conditions in the gig economy, especially for particular groups of workers, like people living with disabilities.
This project examined gig work literature and applied its insights to conduct semi-structured interviews with a small group of Canadians with disabilities engaged in gig work.
The findings from the review and interviews showed that many people living with disabilities feel pushed into gig work by a lack of other employment options. Despite the financial instability, lack of benefits and discrimination that accompany gig work for people living with disabilities, the majority of interviewees in this project said that they preferred gig work because of its flexibility.
The findings of this project provide policy-makers and employers more information about the evolving gig workforce and how people living with disabilities are faring. It also provides rationale for efforts to improve financial security of those doing gig work, and increase availability of benefits.
Key Insight #1
84% of people living with disabilities interviewed for this project felt that they’d been pushed into gig work due to a lack of suitable and accommodating employment.
Key Insight #2
76% of people living with disabilities interviewed for this project appreciated the flexibility that gig work afforded them.
Key Insight #3
Despite the challenges, the majority of interviewees in this project said that they preferred gig work.
Although platform apps and gig work predate the pandemic, the number of people that they employ increased sharply as a result of COVID-19-related job loss and the influx of available work that was driven towards gig platforms at that time. The term ‘gig economy’ refers to a short, task-based means of generating income that is different from temporary contracting and business ownership. In the gig world, workers are paid out per task or hourly, and are involved in a variety of work ranging from transportation to graphic design. Gig workers can be based anywhere in the world and often serve international clients.
It’s estimated that gig workers represent roughly 10% of the current workforce in Canada and provide a wide set of services that many have become dependent upon. Gig work does not appear to be disappearing any time soon. However, there are concerns about the working conditions in the gig economy. This remains especially true in the context of gig workers with disabilities, who face a different set of challenges and do not have access to the same employment opportunities as workers without disabilities. People of working age who have a disability face barriers including workplace stigma, hiring practice discrimination, physical and mental impairment, lack of accommodations, long term and/or repetitive strain and sometimes an inability to meet job demands.
It is important that both research and policy remain at the forefront of establishing an understanding of gig work and how to best support people who do gig work moving forward, including understanding how different groups, like people living with disabilities, experience gig work.
What We’re Investigating
This project sought to understand the experiences of people living with disabilities working in the gig economy, specifically the benefits and drawbacks of doing gig work and effective interventions to protect the health and safety of disabled gig workers in Canada.
The research questions guiding the project include:
- What are the lived experiences of people with disabilities working in the gig economy in Canada? How does working in the gig economy affect the health and well-being of disabled Canadians? What are the differences in lived experience based on generational status, gender, race and/or immigrant status?
- What barriers and opportunities exist for people with disabilities in gig work?
- What interventions by the government and the private sector protect the health and well-being of disabled gig workers in Canada?
To answer these questions, the project performed a scoping review, surveying literature on gig work and people living with disabilities to identify themes and gaps. Findings from the scoping review informed semi-structured interviews with people living with disabilities working in the Canadian gig economy.
What We’re Learning
The project interviewed 21 people living with disabilities who were doing gig work. These experiences corroborated many of the themes that emerged from the scoping review, which synthesized findings from 57 articles from 2002-2022.
Pushed into the gig economy due to a lack of options. Although positive themes emerged from the interviews, on the whole, interviewees had more negative than positive things to say about working in the gig economy. Most felt pushed into gig work due to a lack of employment options, rather than attracted to go into the field. This finding corroborates other research that indicates limited employment choices for many people living with disabilities. Of those that reflected on this, 84% (n=16) felt that they’d been pushed into gig work due to a lack of suitable and accommodating employment. Despite the feeling that many people with disabilities are pushed into gig work, the majority of interviewees in this project said that they preferred gig work, most often citing its flexibility.
Drawbacks of the gig economy for people living with disabilities. Interviewees expressed dissatisfaction with the absence of protections and benefits available in the gig economy and most felt the work was not financially sustainable due to its unpredictability. This corroborates recent studies on the gig economy that echo the financial instability described by interviewees and the mental and physical health consequences of it. The need for benefits and access to paid leave was also well documented in existing literature, where these drawbacks were reported as even more critical than insufficient income. As mentioned by an interviewee, gig workers with disabilities are often the people who need medical benefits the most, due to managing ongoing health concerns and having little income to cover external disability-related costs themselves.
Pull factors for people living with disabilities to the gig economy. Interviewees appreciated certain aspects of gig work, including the flexibility, increased autonomy, flexible working hours, and the ability to leverage their unique skills and strengths. This corroborates other research findings on the benefits of flexibility and autonomy that gig work facilitates and how these freedoms can support health and work-life integration.
Common for people living with disabilities to experience discrimination in gig work. Nearly half of the people living with disabilities that were interviewed for this project (n=10, 48%) said they experience discrimination in the gig economy as a result of their disability. This included instances where ongoing work was discontinued once the client realized the gig worker had a disability; a sense of amazement from clients that high-quality work was completed by a person living with a disability, or statements that insinuate the deliverables were low priority because they were handled by a person living with a disability. Only a few of the studies included in the scoping review mentioned racial discrimination in certain fields of gig work and gender inequity, but none so far have touched on disability-related stigma and discrimination, so more research is needed.
Why It Matters
As the gig economy becomes more prevalent around the world, some economists and social scientists have theorized that individuals with disabilities may start to make up a large percentage of the gig work population.
This project suggests that gig work is a viable, albeit precarious form of work for some people living with disabilities. Depending on the type of disability that an individual is living with, the option to pursue gig work can feel like a welcomed solution or a last resort. It can offer flexibility, but often at the expense of
income security. These points considered, as the gig economy continues to expand, discussions around equity and safety for the industry’s workers will continue to be a crucial discussion to which future researchers and decision-makers should pay attention.
The drawbacks of gig work are similar across groups of workers – financial instability, lack of benefits and protections – but this project suggests that the impact of these drawbacks may be especially acute for people living with disabilities. The lack of predictable, reliable income and the lack of benefits means that gig workers living with disabilities may be less able to afford the necessary treatment and care for their disabilities than both non-disabled gig workers and those with disabilities in standard, secure employment. Ironically, the traditional working world that most often pushes out people with disabilities, is the very same one that offers long-term disability coverage and the best medical insurance. The workers who arguably need these services the most then, have the least opportunity to access them and may front their disability-related costs out of pocket. Decision-makers at different levels can improve this inequity by finding ways to offer gig workers in general, but people living with disabilities especially, health benefits and more income security.

Randy and Michael Brecker: legends of jazz fusion, both together and apart. Often called upon for individual session work throughout the 70s and 80s, the brothers appeared on albums by Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Aerosmith, Lou Reed and Dire Straits. Both were among the most gifted players in their prime: separately, they were great, but together, they could be an absolute powerhouse. This is something that comes across with abundance throughout the archive double live disc ‘Live And Unreleased’. A show newly released in 2020 that captures the second Brecker Brothers Band with bassist Neil Jason partway through a European tour in 1980, the Breckers are on fire.
Not only does ‘Live And Unreleased’ present ten performances from a night in Hamburg in complete clarity, but you get the feeling of being somewhere in the second row of a small jazz club as they play. The audience is small, but entirely attentive and completely devoted as the sextet whip up a musical storm. Opening with the still unreleased ‘Strap Hangin’ is a brave move, but the band obviously knows how good they are at this precise moment; they know the audience will be hanging off every note and this performance finds the Brecker Brothers slamming into some serious funk. Neil Jason leads the charge through a seriously funky groove throughout and the overall sound is much tougher than it’s 1981 studio counterpart. Even the introductory fanfare has some serious teeth; the studio recording sounds really non-committal by direct comparison. Also, by taking the arrangement and extending it by almost four minutes, this lengthy workout becomes a great introduction to what promises to be a great show. Sliding into the then current album’s ‘Tee’d Off’, any early suspicions of this being a first rate gig are more than confirmed. Although sticking to a really succinct five minute groove, it gives time enough for the band to play to their strengths. The introductory melody is played slightly faster than the studio recording, but by the time Michael’s sax drives the softer part of the melody, it’s pretty close to the expected sound and following a couple of hard funk interjections from Jason, his first major solo is a real corker. Smooth, yet still maintaining a great presence, his style really flows. A couple of the sax fills are so busy but flawlessly executed, it’s easy to forgive a couple of genuinely honking notes along the way. Handing over to guitarist Barry Finnerty, the mood then shifts to more of a Steely Dan and State Cows vibe and the interplay between Finnerty’s jazz fusion melodies and Jason’s funk essence is lovely.
The more familiar ‘Sponge’ (originally from 1975’s ‘Brecker Bros.’ and re-recorded in a harder, shinier rendition on 1978’s ‘Heavy Metal Be-Bop’) becomes a near-ten minute tour de force where everyone gets to stretch out. Of particular note is Randy Brecker’s aggressive trumpet work which is at constant odds with the slicker almost Cosby theme-like grooves the rest of the band have absolutely nailed. There’s some more fantastic guitar work from Finnerty too, really helping to push more of a fusion style, making this one of the show’s stand out performances. A staple of the Brothers’ catalogue and their live shows, fans will surely welcome yet another take of such a great track…and especially one as good as this.
Designed as a centrepiece for the show, ‘Funky Sea, Funky Dew’ has grown from its eight minute studio take into a nineteen minute jam. If that had been used to showcase each of the band in turn, it would have certainly joined the brilliant ‘Sponge’ as the highlight of this set, but it meanders just a little too much. Things start with a fantastic band giving their all, though: there’s some fine sax work from Michael B., and a corker of a guitar solo from Barry – easily his big moment on this night. Things waver around the eight minute mark as the great funk groove slides into an easy jazz tune and then stops completely, leaving Michael to entertain the audience on his own for what feels like a very long time. Don’t misunderstand – his playing is great; it’s easy to see why he was considered one of the best in his field, but without any visuals, it loses the set some of its momentum. It was probably much more enjoyable on the night…
A twelve minute groove on ‘I Don’t Know Either’ finds the Breckers taking a second dip into 1980’s ‘Detente’ record. The performance starts a little too smoothly, but after three minutes, Neil Jason pushes the rhythm a little harder and Randy B. drops an excellent extended trumpet solo against the kind of backdrop that Joe Zawinul and Jaco Pastorius would’ve been hard pressed to serve up any more impressively. Things get seriously funky. Even by the time Randy steps back and passes the baton to Michael, the band shows no sign of let-up. Listening to Jason and drummer Richie Morales lock down such a serious and unwavering rhythm for such a long period is proof enough that this second Brecker Brothers band was their best ever. No arguments.
‘Inside Out’ is, perhaps, this sets most accessible offering, shifting away from serious jazz fusion into more of a jazz rock swing. A number with a slightly bluesy lilt, many of its key melodies never seem so far removed from something you’d hear in a Steely Dan live show – which is obviously a good thing. The recording here is much warmer than its ‘Heavy Metal Be-Bop’ counterpart and between Neil Jason’s fluid bass work and a solid electric piano accompaniment from Mark Gray, there’s already plenty to love before we even get to the featured performers. Randy’s trumpet work seems especially on point and you’d expect him to steal the show here. However, once Michael’s sax takes over, you realise that Mike is playing somewhere near his very best. The bluesy swing to the backdrop is the perfect accompaniment to the sax and this allows him to improvise a lot, though never in a way that loses sight of the all-important root melody. At the one moment he seems as if he is about to lose everyone in a moment of over-enthusiasm, Morales throws out a couple of massive snare hits that break up the groove and that allows everyone to refocus before Barry offers the kind of guitar solo that would make Walter Becker proud. If this tune seemed Steely Dan-esque from the outset, allowing the guitar such a dominant role to finish more than cements those feelings.
A ten minute ‘Baffled’ takes in all manner of fusion which, thanks to Neil Jason, veers towards jazz funk in more than a few places, but with some fine sax interjections and a rhythm section working incredibly hard, it retains a lot of the hallmarks that made the previous performances great. A couple of throwbacks to older Brecker material flesh out the end of the set with a great take of ‘Some Skunk Funk’ showing how well the brothers can deliver a complex riff together (the all round tightness in their brass work here is astounding) while the rest of the band drop into a kind of funk that would make Rufus and Kool & The Gang appear slack. The funk still comes with various Weather Report-esque interjections, of course, and its amazing to hear that even after an hour or more, nobody appears to show any signs of musical fatigue. Vocally, things are a different matter, as the first of the night’s vocal tunes, ‘East River’, is a little off. It’s never terrible, but certainly less than perfect. Musically, it’s all good: the main groove seems a little sassy; Michael’s sax fills are nice and high in the mix and the soul/funk sounds that have peppered a few of the night’s best performances really get to flourish. It would have been a better instrumental, especially given the mood in the room at this late stage. Finally, ‘Don’t Get Funny With My Money’ delivers on Parliament-ish funk, allowing the rhythm section one last chance to show off while various brass interjections remind us, first and foremost, this has been a cracking jazz set. Even the vocals do not intrude and everyone – band and audience – appear to be enjoying every moment.
This same European tour is partially represented on the less than official ‘Broadcast Archives’ release from 2019, but neither of those scratchily sourced radio shows do the band justice. Aside from the odd wobbly vocal during ‘East River’, ‘Live And Unreleased’ captures one of those performances that could legitimately be referred to as essential. This line up of The Brecker Brothers Band rarely sounded better. With a hard funk sound dominating at many of the key points throughout a well paced hundred minutes, this double disc set is both a fine collection filler for fans and a fantastic primer for those listeners who mighn’t be quite so familiar with the Breckers’ work as they’d like. By stepping into the middle of a great leg of a great tour, those new listeners are able to witness the band playing with real verve – and without any of the disco leanings that had already peppered the studio records. Quite how this show took so long to materialise…is both a mystery and a travesty – it could just be the best Brecker Brothers set ever. Seriously.

The Giants.com crew reacts to the 2023 schedule, which was officially released Thursday night:
John Schmeelk: We are going to know very early in the season how good this Giants team is. The Giants not only play four of their first six games on the road, but five of those six games are also against playoff teams last season (vs. Dallas, at SF, vs. Seattle, at Miami, at Buffalo). Those opponents also feature some of the most dangerous quarterbacks and receivers in football, such as Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Deebo Samuel, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. The secondary will be tested early and often. If the Giants can just play even in those first six games, it will set themselves up well for the remainder of the season.
Another major schedule takeaway is a very odd final five games after a late bye week. The Giants have only two games in their final five against teams in the division, with both coming against the Philadelphia Eagles in Weeks 16 and 18. The Giants are done playing the Cowboys and Commanders by Nov. 19, playing those opponents three times between Weeks 7-11.
Dan Salomone: The Giants solved one major problem last year but not another. In between their past two playoff runs, the Giants went 7-30 over September/October from 2017-21. In 2022, they got off to the hot start they desperately needed, winning six of their first seven games. Brian Daboll's tenure began with the gutsy decision to go for the two-point conversion in the season-opening victory in Tennessee instead of settling for overtime. That was part of the good news – of which there was plenty – from the inaugural season under the new regime.
Now for the bad news. They were 1-4-1 in the NFC East, not including the 38-7 playoff loss to the Eagles. General manager Joe Schoen had no qualms about stating the need to close the talent gap in the NFC East during his season-ending press conference, and the Giants spent the off-season with that goal in mind - it's a mentality has also trickled down to the players.
"Obviously, we didn't do that well in division play last year, so I think that's something for us that's going to be heavily emphasized," safety Xavier McKinney said at the start of the off-season workout program. "I don't really see it as just one team that we need to be worried about; I think it's all of the teams in our division. That's just how I see it, and I think that's how a lot of us see it on the team."
Thus, the next step for the Giants is taking care of business in the division. It is the key to sustaining success and can begin right away in Week 1 with a prime-time visit from the Dallas Cowboys.
View photos of the New York Giants' official 2023 schedule.
Lance Medow: First thing that comes to mind when you look at the 2023 schedule is Animal and Hawk. That's a wrestling reference for those of you who may be lost because the Giants are going to be "The Road Warriors" for the first half of the season with seven of their first 11 contests away from MetLife Stadium, including three straight from Weeks 9-11. The good news is with consecutive games in Arizona and San Francisco in the span of five days in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively, New York will be able to stay on the West Coast to avoid going back-and-forth in a very short period of time. It will leave Las Vegas as the only remaining lengthy trip. On the flip side, the team will be home for four of its final six games, including each of the last two contests against the Rams and Eagles, respectively.
After a three-year hiatus in which the Giants opened the season against an AFC opponent, back by popular demand is a showdown with the Cowboys in Week 1 (It happened six times from 2012-19!). This year, the game will be played in East Rutherford, which hasn't happened since 2012. It will be the first of four prime time games in the first six weeks as they'll also be showcased on Thursday Night Football in Week 3 in San Francisco, on Monday Night, at home, against the Seahawks in Week 4 and then on Sunday night again in Week 6 in Buffalo. So New York will have an extended break following its early season Thursday game, given Brian Daboll and Co. won't take the field again until 11 days later. It will help to break up the season a bit considering the Giants won't have their bye until Week 13, which will lead into their only other prime time game against the Packers, at home, in Week 14.
The other noticeable takeaway from the schedule is the fact that they only play two divisional games in their final six contests - with both coming against the Eagles in the span of three weeks. In comparison, last year, they played five games against NFC East foes in their final seven with two coming against Washington in the span of three weeks. As far as weather goes, they're visiting the Dolphins in early October when Mother Nature could still have a surprise or two with respect to the heat, but they will avoid the Bills in late November/early December with a trip to upstate New York right following Miami in Week 6.
Matt Citak: According to last season's records, the Giants are tied with the Patriots and Cowboys for the third-toughest strength of schedule this season. In fact, the teams with the eight toughest schedules come from the NFC and AFC East. This should not come as much of a surprise as the two divisions face off against each other this year, with the NFC East having had three teams in the playoffs last year while the AFC East had two. The Giants will face off against the AFC East in three of four games from Weeks 5-8, including back-to-back road games in Miami and Buffalo. When you add in the contest in Las Vegas, the Giants will have four inter conference games in five weeks, with three coming on the road. Brian Daboll's squad went a perfect 5-0 against the AFC last year, and even close to as much success against the AFC this year would go a long way in helping the Giants reach the postseason for the second consecutive season.
The other thing on the schedule that jumped out is the Giants' number of prime time games. When last year's schedule was originally released, the Giants had only one night game (Week 3 against the Cowboys on Monday Night Football) on the slate. Daboll went on to be named Coach of the Year as he led the Giants to the franchise's first postseason victory since Super Bowl XLVI. One year later, the Giants are slated to play five prime time games, in addition to their Christmas Day matchup against the Eagles. After four consecutive seasons without a Sunday night game, the Giants have two on the schedule this year, including the season opener against the Cowboys. It's safe to say the Giants' fortunes have turned significantly after just one season under Daboll and GM Joe Schoen.

YouTube – Cessna Skymaster
2 x 210 h.p. ea.
93 U.S. gallons
The Cessna Skymaster (officially Cessna 337 Skymaster) is an entry level, twin engine aircraft used by civil aviation and the military.
In line engines are able to provided better control than standard twin engine aircraft in the event of an engine-out situation.
Cessna Skymaster civilian aircraft first took to the sky in 1961. The military version first flew in 1967. They were deployed in Vietnam, primarily for observation purposes.
Flying the Cessna Skymaster is easier than flying most twins with engines on their wings. You light up the back engine, make sure all is okay, than the front one.
Visibility from the pilot seat is excellent. The airplane sits in a level position on the ground. It steers easily. Surprisingly, cabin sound level does not appear to be higher than conventional twin engine aircraft. However, engine vibrations do enter the cabin.
Once the takeoff roll begins, the aircraft feels very much like any other light twin. Getting into the air after a moderate run is easy. The Cessna Skymaster will easily climb out at 1,000+ feet per minute. The airplane smooths out bumpy chop throughout its speed range.
At higher speeds it takes a bit more pressure to move the ailerons than on other light twins. However, the amount of pressure necessary to move the controls never becomes uncomfortable.
While not apparent in standard flight, the in-line engines can be of great advantage in an engine out situation. There is no need to stand on a rudder peddle to compensate for loss of engine power to one side or the other of the aircraft. Anyone who is comfortable flying a higher performance single engine aircraft will easily adapt to the Cessna Skymaster.
Landings are easy. The flaps slow the aircraft well. Reducing power to idle over the end of the runway produces a gentle float and touch down. The landing gear does a good job of absorbing the weight of the aircraft as it touches the runway. The brakes work well in bringing the Cessna Skymaster down to taxi speed quickly.
The aircraft have served in many countries around the world. A total of 2,993 Cessna Skymaster aircraft of all types were manufactured through 1982.
RC Cessna Skymaster
The RC Cessna Skymaster from Wendell Hostetler’s Plans has a wingspan of 119 in. with a length of 93 in. All up weight is around 38 lbs. It will need at least a 1.8 c.i.d. engine for power.

A familiar face is all but guaranteed to return to the Clintonville Area Commission when votes are tallied in early May for the three seats up for election.
Dana Bagwell, who narrowly lost in her re-election bid in 2015 to stay on as the District 5 representative, was the lone person to apply for that seat by the deadline, elections committee Chairwoman Ann Henkener said at the CAC's April 5 session.
Barring an unprecedented write-in campaign, Bagwell will take the place of the man who took her place, Matthew Cull. He decided not to seek another term.
District 4 incumbent Judy Minister also was the only applicant for that seat, Henkener said.
"I really enjoy meeting more of my neighbors," Minister said. "I've learned so much about the city process."
District 7 also will have a different representative.
Jason Meek has decided against seeking another term, Henkener said.
The baton will be passed to either John Eschenbrenner, a principal with the EM Engineering Group Ltd. consulting firm, or Michael S. Weinman, director of governmental affairs for the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio Inc.
Early voting for the CAC election is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. May 1 at the Whetstone branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Regular election hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 5, also at the library.
During the CAC's April 5 meeting, members and those in the audience received a peek at a planned major presentation for the May session on proposed updates to the Clintonville Area Plan.
Justin Goodwin, a member of the planning and development committee, reported a subcommittee of the panel has reviewed the document, which seeks to guide development in the neighborhood, with an eye toward updating it.
Goodwin said 2019 will mark the 10th anniversary of the area plan's formal adoption by Columbus City Council.
"A lot has changed in the past 10 years in Clintonville," Goodwin said.
The informal update to the neighborhood plan, he said, will emphasize bringing the right type of project to the long-vacant former Clintonville Electric property on the west side of North High Street near its intersection with North Broadway, as well as call for an inventory of potential sites in the neighborhood's commercial corridors that might be ripe for redevelopment "so that we can get out ahead of development."
"We will be talking about this in much more detail next month," CAC Chairwoman Libby Wetherholt said.

text: Tom Geen Matt Cameron Charlie LeDuff, a reporter for the New York Times got a job at a slaughterhouse in North Carolina. He examined the day to day racial interactions between employees and from the management at the factory. Common areas like locker rooms and cafeterias were self-segregated. Jobs seemed to be given out based on the race of the person. Racial stereotypes were used by minorities toward other minorities. “Who that cracker think he is? . . . [He] keeps treating me like a Mexican and I’ll beat him.” “She decided it wasn’t just blacks that were lazy” Why is work at Smithfield Packing Comapany controlled primarily by a quota system? At the very beginning of the article, LeDuff describess the Smithfields Company as if it were a prison. What qualities of Smithfield lead LeDuff to make this comparison? In what ways does Smithfield punish the individuals who work there? Thinking of his social writing on workers, capitalism and exploitation, what do you think Karl Marx might have to say about LeDuff's description of how the Smithfield Packing Company is run?

Health industry worries about money, not people
The April 30 News featured an article titled, “Searching for certainty,” about how local medical insurance executives view the complex issues surrounding payment of medical services.
The gist of the responses to the health care dilemma in this business section article was a rather muted and lukewarm consideration by these insurance company heads to the idea of a single-payer (i.e., government) system.
Their responses were revealing: “What doctors worry about is that patients come for care and … the doc does not get paid.” It’s all about the money, not the fact that the U.S., one of the richest countries in the world, has very poor health outcomes when compared with other advanced countries.
While the financial aspects of health care are an appropriate subject for the business pages, the responses, tone and quotes of those in the medical care industry were, in my opinion, decidedly insensitive to patient health concerns, accessibility to care and attention to outcomes.
The basic problem in the U.S. is that “high profit for all” – including hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceuticals and physicians – is placed above patient, public health and humane community needs.
Those quoted in the article who are reluctantly coming to the conclusion that single-payer may be the only answer to our broken private health care system are finally on the right track.

These lovely gloves are made by our founder's mom, Juliann Aman. Always a crafter, she decided this year she wanted to learn how to knit gloves. After making a few pairs for her kids, Holly suggested adding them to our collection here at made. Juliann agreed with one addition - for every pair sold, a little pair of mittens would be given to a child in need in the Williamsburg area. So, Juliann learned how to knit little mittens + for every pair you buy, we are giving mittens to a child on the peninsula.

Size: each pair is a little different but they are 3" wide and 8" long.

The heart-warming tale of a mother-daughter relationship – Best Friends Forever, helmed by Sandeep Modi, is creating quite a stir in the world of short films. Sandeep even won the National Award for this educational short film, which was adjudged as the 'Best Film on Family Values' at the recently announced prestigious awards.
Sandeep, who started his career in films assisting noted film-maker likes Ram Gopal Verma (Sarkar Raj), Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra (Delhi 6), and Ashutosh Gowariker (Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey), was last associated with the much acclaimed Sonam Kapoor starrer Neerja. Sandeep had designed, choreographed, and executed the action climax inside the airplane. He even directed the promotional music video for the film titled Aankhein Milayengey Darr Se.
While Best Friends Forever is continuing to wow the audience, Sandeep is ready with his next short film Vanvaas, starring legendary Piyush Mishra in the lead. The film has already travelled and played at festivals in Toronto and Dallas.

Let’s not beat around the bush here, modern life is stressful. Add to that kids, career relationships and economic pressures and it can be downright frightening. As much as we love our children, they take some fundamental coping mechanisms and preventative self-care measures from us. As mothers, there are a lot of sacrifices we make for our children because we want them to have a good life.
But at some point, we may move from providing the good life and time our children need into the area of unhealthy sacrifice.
That’s why the Body Beyond Birth team want you to get behind fostering resilience and leave the stress behind. Here’s how.
Good stress versus bad stress
Stress helps us. But there is a big difference between good stress and bad stress. Stress empowers us to move forward and make decisions, but continued stress (even low level stress) without a reprieve or a win can make us feel powerless.
In careers with a lot of responsibility or with self employment, stress can be an ever present part of the working experience. This in itself isn’t a bad thing. But it can start to make it feel like all the effort is wasted. That as soon as one thing is crossed off the TO DO list or another problem solved 5 more sprout in their place.
This continued level of stress can lead to compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue is literally where our compassion for a person or situation is replaced with a sense of hopelessness. We begin to feel like the problem at hand is so great, we as one person will never be able to make a real difference. It means our resilience is often lowered to the point where it’s non-existent.
Caregivers often find they face compassion fatigue, especially if they don’t make time for self-care. If your child is going through things like the toddler stage, puberty or questioning authority and acting out, this can make managing life particularly difficult and draw away your ability to cope. Add financial hardship, sickness, disability, redundancy, domestic violence or any high impact event to the mix and you are definitely in a high risk category.
All parenting is stressful, as are relationships and making it in the modern world. We deal with things such as debt, job insecurity, and concerns about buying a home as well as the self doubt inherent with parenting. It’s human nature to second guess ourselves and we’re under so much pressure to succeed. As people and as mothers, as a member of a family and as an individual, there is always someone or something asking more of us.
Sometimes, we may not know where that more is going to come from.
What you can do about it
Our level of resilience and responses to the situations at hand together with the ability to see hope defines how effective we’ll be in the face of challenges and adversity.
Now on the outset, this sounds like a small list of achievable things. But our resilience is often set by our own childhood and experiences. If we were unloved at home or bullied at school or face difficulties in our relationships now, our resilience will be lowered.
Resilience is based quite a lot on how we choose to respond to a given situation. In most people, we have the ability to respond or react. Responses generally come from a place of considering all the options and the mitigating circumstances. Reactions tend more to lean towards acting out- like taking offense when our ego is bruised or acting out without considering consequences.
We can nurture resilience, calm under pressure and remain hopeful if we take the time to foster self-care. If we look after ourselves, we can build up more resilience than we started with.
Building resilience in adults
There’s no magic bullet with building resilience in adults. Especially if we’ve been trained to expect the worst or primed to think the only way to be heard is through dramatic reactions. But there are a few ways you can channel some inner calm and grow some resilience of your own over time.
Connect with family and community-
Having supportive, healthy relationships with friends and family members can go a long way to creating strength and resilience. If you feel like you have a network and a safety net, it can give confidence and courage.
Sometimes, this may not be forthcoming through the usual channels. Perhaps your in-laws aren’t supportive or your parents are absent. This doesn’t mean you can’t create a family or community of your own. Many people find the same sort of network of love, community and belonging they need through community groups, faith based services – and likeminded challenges such as parenting.
Your network doesn’t have to be large, just effective. That’s part of the reason why we offer our online community.
Change your thinking-
Nadine Champion was a fighter. She fought in martial arts tournaments. She fought and won against Hodgkin’s lymphoma. A message bestowed to her by her coach, Benny, helped her pick herself off the floor of a hospital and continue with chemotherapy when she was at her lowest. Suffering from continual sickness and burnt out veins with no end of the pain in sight, Nadine was saved by one simple phrase- “change your thinking.” That trainer’s voice compelled her to push herself off the hospital floor and get back in the chair to finish chemo and to beat the disease.
We might not want the terrible hand we’re dealt. Very few of us would wish for pain, trauma and disease. But we can change how we think and even how we respond to a situation. You can’t change the fact something stressful has happened, but you don’t have to let it influence how you respond as well.
Trust your instincts yet keep perspective when greeted with challenges. Invest in solutions over drama. Think about getting through the situation. Think about times where other moments in life have threatened to keep you down. Draw on your support network.
Don’t allow the problem at hand to sit rent free in your head. Instead, change your thinking.
Acceptance is key-
There’s a huge difference between lying down and taking something and accepting it has happened. If we move beyond denial and anger to acceptance, we can buy ourselves a clear head and the potential to work through the problems at hand.
But we do have to acknowledge and accept the things that have happened to us first. This is incredibly tough but worthwhile. How acceptance is reached is as individual as it is powerful. Like the tiger with the stripes, once you accept who you are as a whole person, warts and all, you can forgive yourself, love yourself and move forward.
From acceptance comes love. Once you begin to see the wonderful things about you and love the quirky traits instead of resent them or hide them away, something magical can happen. When we stop dealing with the events in our lives and the scars they have left as separate from ourselves, we can begin to heal. That healing can help us integrate even the toughest event. And from that integration, we can begin to feel whole.
This is by no means an overnight thing. But once we start loving and accepting ourselves like we do with our family, children and friends, we can start feeling less powerless.
Choose your own adventure-
Resilience is about working with you in the best way possible for you. This includes setting goals, making plans and designing the kind of life you want.
It doesn’t have to be grand plans or even something you share with others.
Think about each day and what you’d like to accomplish. Do you want to walk an extra kilometre so in 3 months time, you can try that bushwalk you’ve always wanted to experience? Are you interested in studying but need to see if you are indeed cut out for the classroom with a smaller challenge first? What would it be like for you to set aside 20 minutes to sketch or write in your journal each day? How much Spanish can you learn in 5 minutes with your favourite App? Just how much fitter can you feel with 20 minutes of Pilates a day?
Think about the things you want to achieve and take on your adventure. Make it your own. And chart the progress along the way so you don’t lose sight of how far you have come.
Foster the positive-
One of the most powerful things you can give yourself is hope and care. Think about what you want in life as opposed to dwelling on the things that make you worry and fear. Make looking forward with hope part of your everyday routine.
Take out me time for yourself and allow yourself the time to enjoy your day. We spend far too much time creating and revelling in how busy life is. We exhaust ourselves by investing in wearing busy as a sign of bravery. Yet it isn’t. It’s a sign we need to slow down and re-assess.
Allow yourself to practise self-care. Get sleep where you can by napping instead of doing that extra laundry. Eat well instead of settling for a toasted sandwich while the kids eat like royalty. Take time out to exercise- for just 20 minutes out of your day, you can feel stronger and more focused. Not to mention healthier and more confident. Make time for friends and to connect. Pick up hobbies and explore ideas. Make time for mindfulness.
Stress owns you if you let it
Enjoying a healthy relationship with stress can be a tough thing to establish. But it is by no means impossible. Taking time out each day to explore the reasons for your stress and what you can and can’t change is incredibly helpful.
The most important message however is that you are only as good as what you allow yourself to be. So stop being too brave and allow yourself some self-care. Make fitting your own mask during daily life a priority so you can be strong enough to face what comes along.
And pull on your community.

Increasing acreage of spinach and spring mix crops has led to the new California Leafy Greens Research Program (CLGRP), which adds those crops to the production, processing, and distribution research formerly funded by the now discontinued California Lettuce Research Board (CLRB).
The change went into effect April 1 following approval in a California Department of Food and Agriculture referendum during February and March among the 96 California handlers of lettuce, spinach, and spring mix, the immature leaves of various lettuces, spinach, kale, chard, and arugala.
The CLGRP is distinct from the California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, which governs guidelines for good agricultural practice for the industry.
Mary Zischke, who is chief operating officer of the CLGRP based in Salinas and had been CEO of the CLRB since January of 2006, said the vote was strongly in favor of the new program.
Among lettuce handlers, 90 percent voted yes, while spinach handlers voted nearly 91 percent in favor and more than 87 percent of spring mix handlers approved. By crop volume, the approval was 97.2 percent, 88.9 percent, and 63.7 percent, respectively.
The new panel is composed of 15 board members and 15 alternates, serving three-year terms initially and two-year terms afterward, from three districts: Blythe-Imperial Valley, Oxnard-Santa Maria, and Salinas-Watsonville-San Joaquin Valley.
Many former CLRB directors have returned to represent their districts, although a few new ones represent the spinach/spring mix industries. Troy Boutonnet, vice president of production for Ocean Mist Farms in Castroville and former CLRB chairman, continues as chairman.
The board has a new budget of $762,000, including research funds of $337,600 for iceberg lettuce, $299,400 for leaf lettuce, and $75,000 for the spinach/spring mix segment. The assessment is $0.006 per carton equivalent for field packed lettuce and spinach. Spinach and spring mix for processing are assessed at $0.03 per hundredweight delivered to processors.
The board has established a research committee, which is determining priorities for projects, mostly in plant breeding, food safety, and disease and pest management.
Zischke said the new program is in response to increasing popularity and acreage of spinach and spring mix and changes in lettuce acreage. Research priorities will reflect these changes accordingly. Recent spinach production research projects by the CLRB have been funded by voluntary contributions from the spinach handler segment.
“Discussions with CDFA's marketing branch about adding spinach and spring mix started a couple of years ago,” she explained. “There's been a need for research in those crops, but the referendum process took more than a year.”
A public hearing on the proposal, held by CDFA in Salinas to collect comments from the industry and other interested parties on Nov. 15, 2007, resulted in the referendum.
Zischke said benefits of the research will overlap. For example, Verticillium wilt in lettuce has been a research priority for several years, particularly in the search for germplasm for resistant varieties, but the disease is also a significant threat to spinach, which has increasing acreage and is rotated with lettuce. Many growers produce both.
Recent discoveries that Verticillium wilt is carried on spinach seed have made the lettuce industry concerned with the potential of greater incidence of the disease in lettuce. Seed treatments may be the key to management of it on spinach.
DNA tests by University of California plant pathologists have identified 80 percent of the strains of the wilt found on spinach as Race II, for which no lettuce plant resistance has been found.
“That's why the new board may be supporting research on seed treatments for spinach as a benefit for the lettuce industry too,” she said.
Establishment of the new board was welcomed by Director Jim Manassero, advisor to the vice president for D'Arrigo Brothers in Salinas and a veteran of 30 years in the lettuce industry, most of that time serving as a CLRB director.
In addition to the benefits of combining resources to deal with Verticillium wilt specifically, Manassero said, research on spinach breeding and other disease identification, which has been done out-of-state, is now expected to be brought to California during the next year or two.
The new board will meet in October in Seaside for mid-year research progress reports. A new Web site and e-mail address will be announced soon.
The CLRB was established in 1973 as the Iceberg Lettuce Advisory Board with goals to reduce unit cost, improve efficiency of operations, provide the consumer with a better product, and keep California growers competitive. The name of the board was changed in 1998 when research on romaine and other leaf lettuces was added to the board's mission.
For the past several years about 55 percent to 60 percent of its research funds went for plant breeding and related activities, while 40 percent to 45 percent was earmarked for weed, insect, and disease management, nutrient research, and cultural production practices. Food safety has emerged as a priority more recently.
Research has been carried out predominantly by USDA and University of California researchers, along with cooperative projects with the University of Arizona for lettuce grown in the Imperial Valley-Yuma district.
Among notable board-funded advances for the industry have been release of the iceberg lettuce cultivars Salinas and Tiber, release of USDA and UC germplasm as bases for many commercial lettuce varieties, development of shipping containers and shipping and cooling practices, development of efficacy data leading to pesticide registrations, and partnerships in IPM practices for insect pests.
California contributes 72 percent of the nation's head lettuce, 68 percent of the romaine, and 74 percent of the spinach.
In California, harvested lettuce acreage (head, leaf and romaine) went from 211,000 in 2001 to 230,000 in 2006. During the same period, harvested spinach acreage (fresh and processed) increased from 21,000 to 40,300. Spring mix acreage and production statistics have not been developed.

The six questions we ask why the House can’t choose a speaker and who’s blocking the vote?
It’s Groundhog Day on Capitol Hill as House Republicans failed miserably for a second day on Wednesday to elect Representative Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker in what is proving to be political chaos as the new majority begins.
For the sixth time, mainstream Republicans nominated McCarthy as their speaker as the House of Representatives spiraled deeper into disarray.
The House of Representatives voted noon, and a McCarthy ally quickly nominated him for the job with a rousing speech on the House floor.
“Sure, it looks messy,” said Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin. But democracy is messy, he said. “The American people call the shots.”
But no one seems to be in charge right now, save for the GOP hardliners, who keep increasing the California Republican’s chances of becoming the 118th Speaker.
DailyMail.com answers six key questions about the race for Speaker – which seems to have no end in sight.
WHY DOES THE HOUSE NOT ALWAYS CHOOSE A NEW SPEAKER?
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the GOP leader of the House of Representatives, perhaps in name only, needs 218 votes in the full House of Representatives.
However, a consortium of 19 ultra-conservative Republicans – who call themselves the “Never Kevin Caucus” – have warned the California Republican that he does not have the votes.
Two days and five speaker elections later, the House is no closer to a speaker than it was on Tuesday.
California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, has lost several votes for Speaker of the House since Tuesday
WHAT DOES “NEVER KEVIN CAUCUS” WANT?
Most are members of the House Freedom Caucus, a far-right group that also had strained ties with former House Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan.
‘They can’t tell you what they are for. They can tell you anything they are against. They are anarchists. They want total chaos. Tear everything off and start over. That’s their mindset,” Boehner once told Vanity Fair
The Never Kevin Caucus includes Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Matt Gaetz of Florida, and Chip Roy of Texas, among others. The rebels presented McCarthy with their latest offer on Monday: high-profile committee jobs, sizable budgets to investigate the Biden administration, and the ability of any lawmaker to force a vote on whether to unseat the future speaker in exchange for his votes.
McCarthy refused, saying he had gone far enough to placate lawmakers.
Based on the last six votes, it seems the NKs just want him out now – in short, anyone BUT McCarthy.
Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert wants former President Donald Trump to withdraw his support for McCarthy.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE LOWER CHAMBER?
Put simply, the house cannot function without a speaker. It takes a leader to swear in 75 new members, assign committee chairs, decide ground procedures and initiate oversight investigations. Everything is delayed until a speaker is chosen and sworn in.
“The spotlight must be on these 19 – now 20 – who are stopping the business of Congress that we were elected to do,” said Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon. ‘It’s on them.’
Rep. Elect George Santos of New York (right) speaks with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) (L) in the House chamber on the second day of the House Speaker election at the US Capitol Building January April 2023 in Washington , DC
WHAT CHOICES ARE MCCARTHY’S?
The beleaguered GOP leader is left with two choices: continue “fighting the ground” or step down.
McCarthy supporters, who hold the majority of votes, swear to vote for him.
New York State Representative Michael Lawler says he supports Kevin McCarthy “whether it’s the first vote, the second vote, the third vote or the hundredth vote” during an interview on Meet the Press.
However, critics want him to end the battle for control of the house – the sooner the better.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, a hot-headed Colorado conservative, nominated Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., the day’s protest candidate-elect — and challenged former President Donald Trump, the Conservative hero, to tell McCarthy, “Sir, You don’t have the votes and it’s time to retire.’
Just a handful of votes — five — separate McCarthy from his ultimate goal: speaker of the House of Representatives, and there’s no indication he’ll stop campaigning until he wins the election.
If there is a full house he would need 218 votes, but there is a caveat: if he can win 213 votes and then convince the remaining naysayers to simply vote present, he can lower the majority threshold required by the rules .
It’s a strategy employed by former House Speakers, including outgoing Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican Speaker John Boehner, as they faced the opposition and won the gavel by fewer than 218 votes.
One Republican, Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana, voted for attendance in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds, but that didn’t change the immediate result.
If House Minority Leader, US Rep. Kevin McCarthy, wins 213 votes and then convinces the remaining naysayers to simply vote present, he can lower the majority threshold required by the rules.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
To this day, a solution seems out of reach for all sides, and it has been a century since this last happened. It remains unclear if and when McCarthy will cross the threshold to become the next Speaker of the House. The current number of Republicans who have pledged their support to other candidates stands at 20, with some suspecting that list is growing.
On Tuesday, Republicans opposed to McCarthy nominated a slew of other candidates, including Biggs, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and even former Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York. And on Wednesday, the first black Republican was nominated for the role, Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida.
The nominee for Speaker needs a majority of the votes cast by the members of the House of Representatives present and voting. Any lawmaker who votes “present” lowers the total number required to achieve a majority, but that’s not a winning solution.
Florida Rep. Byron Donalds was named Speaker of the House multiple times on Wednesday as an alternative to McCarthy.
IS THIS PRE-OCCURRENT?
The last time the House did not choose a Speaker on the first ballot was in 1923, when the election spanned nine ballots.
At that time, the Republicans had won the majority, despite losing a staggering 77 seats and narrowing their lead over the Democrats from 171 to just 18. The majority party had nominated incumbent Massachusetts Rep. Frederick Gillett, but several other candidates, including a Democrat, received votes during appeal.
This led to a series of votes spanning three days before House Majority Leader Nicholas Longworth of Ohio held an emergency meeting with opponents. Their concerns, similar to those against McCarthy, centered on a number of rule changes they believed deserved a fair hearing. Longworth signed on and the next day Gillett collected the 215 votes he needed to remain speaker.
Members speak in the House of Representatives chamber as the House of Representatives meets for a second day to elect a Speaker and convene the 118th Congress on Wednesday, January 4, 2023 in Washington.
