SCOTIA, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The latest Consumer Price Index report is good news for the economy, but not everyone is seeing that impact in their wallet. Consumer prices are generally rising slower, at just 3 percent, but daily essentials like food and energy bring core inflation to 4 percent. Get the latest news, weather, sports and more delivered right to your inbox! “That doesn’t mean the prices have come down," Kajal Lahiri, Distinguished Professor of Economics at UAlbany, said. "They’re still way high and it hurts, so that’s why, even if inflation is coming down, consumers are thinking ‘How come it’s still hurting me?’ It’s still hurting because the prices are still high in the prices we pay to buy goods.”Lahiri said it takes time for changing inflation rates to catch up to everyday items. As the Federal Reserve works to meet their target inflation rate of 2 percent, those delays could be up to a year. “Day to day people who earn money and consume, they get hurt because there is...

Jeffrey Foskett was one of those lucky few who ended up living his dream.The San Jose native grew up fascinated with the Beach Boys, and even played in a band that covered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act’s songs in his early 20s, and would go on to spend much of his career singing and playing those legendary Beach Boys songs in front of untold thousands, if not millions, of appreciative fans.The dream came to a close last week when Foskett — who was a hugely important member of both the Beach Boys’ and Brian Wilson’s touring bands over the years — died after a lengthy battle with anaplastic thyroid cancer.He was 67.Foskett will be remembered by fans for his soaring falsetto, which closely resembled what Brian Wilson delivered during his primetime years in the ’60s with the Beach Boys.

But the whole network faces a growing crisis: Greyhound and other private companies’ bus terminals are rapidly closing around the country.Houston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Tampa, Louisville, Charlottesville, Portland, Oregon, and other downtown bus depots have shuttered in recent years. Bus terminals in major hubs like Chicago and Dallas are also set to close. Greyhound and other companies have relocated their stops far away from city centers, which are often inaccessible by public transit, switched to curbside service or eliminated routes altogether.These stations built decades ago are shuttering because of high operating costs, govern...

Sarah Hofius Hall | The Scranton Times-TribuneA competitive holiday tradition started with a steel box.Justin Gagliardi, a college student at the time, welded the box and put his younger brother’s Christmas gift inside.For more than an hour on that Christmas Eve more than 20 years ago, family watched as Joseph Gagliardi worked to cut the box open to free the remote control dog toy placed inside.“I thought, ‘I’m not going to let next year slide,’” Joseph said.For the Gagliardi brothers, what’s inside the box — or the concrete, ice or diaper, or buried in the neighbor’s yard — doesn’t matter. The tradition of hijinks and hilarity is the gift itself.“It’s about bragging rights, and who is smarter,” said Joseph, 37.Forget the wrapping paper, bows and ribbons. The brothers prefer mouse traps, tarantulas and PVC pipes, nestled — and greased — inside each other.
