The heat index is a measure of how hot it really feels, when humidity and other factors are considered along with the temperature. Already, the excessive heat has killed three hikers, brutalized workers and caused spikes in ambulance calls and emergency-room visits, as cities caution residents to stay indoors and drink water. As of Tuesday evening, more than 61 million people were under excessive heat warnings or advisories, according to data from the National Weather Service. Forecasters have warned that the relentless heat could continue across much of the South through the weekend. The heat will persist next week, with parts of the Great Lakes, Midwest, Idaho and eastern Washington State expected to be up to 10 degrees above normal, said David Roth, a meteorologist with the Weather Prediction Center of the National Weather Service.

They decided to move from California to Alaska to start their own dog sled tour business. They spend their days leading tours, and taking care of their 32 sled dogs and their baby son. Their days are filled with wilderness tours and training and caring for their 32 sled dogs. Finding a dog sitter to look after 32 dogs while on vacation, for example, has proved to be a challenging task for the couple in the past. But we've literally dedicated our entire life to having the sled dogs," Alyssa said.

The Army Corps studied what would happen to six dams in California, and the results suggested that two of them would probably be overtopped. It seemed unlikely that a third of all the dams in the state would fail, but would none of them? Cox described the “weird ‘Chinatown’ vibe” he encountered whenever the conversation turned to dams. In the course of my reporting this article, sources would stutter and shut down whenever dams came up. “My boss approved, but it was nixed by higher-ups,” the public information officer at the dam wrote.

☆ A restaurant must pay workers $140,000 after allegedly hiring a fake priest to extract confessions of workers’ ‘sins’

The Catholic Diocese of Sacramento confirmed that they found “no evidence of any connection” between the fake priest and their diocese. Garibaldi and three other restaurant owners and operators were ordered to pay $140,000 in back wages and damages to 35 employees. The restaurant will also have to pay $5,000 in civil penalties. Investigators also found that the restaurant denied employees overtime pay, managers were paid bonuses from the employee tip pool and some employees faced “adverse immigration consequences” for cooperating with investigators. “This employer’s despicable attempts to retaliate against employees were intended to silence workers, obstruct an investigation and prevent the recovery of unpaid wages,” Pilotin said.

An owner of a Northern California taqueria was the target of a federal wage theft investigation in November 2021 when he brought in a strange guest to talk to his employees. Eduardo Hernandez told workers at Taqueria Garibaldi in Sacramento that the man, who claimed to be a priest, was there to hear confession and “help with mental health,” according to an account that one employee gave federal regulators. But the employee, Maria Parra, found her interaction with the man to be more like an interrogation than a confession. Ms. Parra said that he told her he would ask her questions “to get the sins out of me.” But when the questioning began, the man “mostly had work-related questions,” she said. “The priest asked if I had stolen anything at work, if I was late to my employment, if I did anything to harm my employer and if I had any bad intentions toward my employment,” Ms. Parra said in a sworn declaration.

☆ The Failed Affirmative Action Campaign That Shook Democrats

The 2020 campaign to restore race-conscious affirmative action in California was close to gospel within the Democratic Party. It drew support from the governor, senators, state legislative leaders and a who’s who of business, nonprofit and labor elites, Black, Latino, white and Asian. Supporters raised many millions of dollars for the referendum and outspent opponents by 19 to 1. None of these efforts persuaded Jimmie Romero, a 63-year-old barber who grew up in the working-class Latino neighborhood of Wilmington in Los Angeles. Affirmative action was not one of those.

The roots of these mammoth trees, stretching some 200 feet into the air above us, run only six to 12 feet deep. Instead of growing down, they grow out, extending dozens of feet to each side, enmeshing themselves with the roots of their neighbors. This is why we never see a lone redwood: They can survive only in a grove, bound together in obligation. But in our age of autonomy, efficiency, boundaries and self-care, we too often deprioritize, if not overlook altogether, the wellspring of strength and meaning that comes from obligation. If we commit to certain people and activities, if we feel an obligation to show up for them, then it’s likely that we will, indeed, show up.

CNN —The Justice Department announced on Tuesday five criminal cases against people accused of stealing or illegally diverting American technology and materials for the Russian, Chinese and Iranian governments.
