Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:11:23 GMT

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) - Temperatures in the 70s and 80s this week have made April feel more like a summer month than a spring one. The prospect of early shorts weather may be attractive, but comes with drawbacks - ones that can cause acres of damage. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! On Friday, the state Department of Environmental Conservation reclassified parts of the upper Hudson Valley and North Country as "high risk" Fire Danger Rating Areas, as well as the entirety of western New York. Saratoga, Washington and Warren counties, and parts of the Adirondack High Peaks, join a list that earlier this week only extended as far as Albany. Fire risk heightens when dry leaves and grass are exposed to too much direct warm sunlight, without any newly-growing leaves to shield them.

The Blues ended their season with a 37-38-7 record for 81 points, missing the playoffs for just the second time in 12 years. It's the team's worst 82-game finish since the 2007-08 campaign, which led to a 33-36-13 record and 79.

Opinion: Why people are fleeing blue cities for red states

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:11:23 GMT

There are a lot of us in the Northeastern media who properly spend a lot of time slamming the Republican Party for what a mess it has become. I have only one question: If we’re right, why are so many people leaving blue states so they can live in red ones?Between 2010 and 2020, the fastest-growing states were mostly red — places such as Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina. During the pandemic that trend accelerated, and once again, most of the big population-gaining states are governed by Republicans.If you go back further, you see decade after decade of migration toward the more conservative South. Brookings Institution demographer William Frey has noted that in 1920, the Northeast and the Midwest accounted for 60% of America’s population. A century later, the Sun Belt accounts for 62% of the nation’s population. These days, we are mostly a Sun Belt nation.Why are these red states growing so rapidly? The short answer is that they are more pro-business. In a ...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:11:23 GMT

Across all cultures worldwide, funerals are an outpouring of emotion and tributes to the deceased. Family and friends often give touching eulogies, illustrating how the departed made a huge impact on their lives and how much they meant to them. These are also accompanied by often lavish rituals, which embody the family’s and community’s grief over the loss of a loved one.Multi-award nominated film producer, director, and author Frederick Marx says that, while funerals do serve a legitimate purpose in society, it could be of greater benefit if the community would also come together and honor a person while they were still alive. He proposes the holding of life-honoring ceremonies, where people close to someone who is terminally ill or of old age gather with them and speak about how they touched their lives and provide an opportunity to say goodbye.“This ceremony turns a funeral on its head. We shouldn’t wait to gather until after someone dies to speak wonderful thin...
