The FAA’s order to cut flights nationwide due to the government shutdown is set to take effect

Posted on by
Reply

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has selected 40 airports across more than two dozen states for schedule reductions, according to a recent order. Major hubs such as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, and Charlotte, North Carolina are among those affected. In metropolitan areas including New York, Houston, Chicago, and Washington, multiple airports will feel the impact. The ripple effects could even extend to smaller regional airports.

As the FAA’s official order approaches, airlines have scrambled to adjust their schedules and began canceling flights as early as Thursday. Travelers with weekend and future plans are now nervously waiting to see if their flights will take off as scheduled.

According to FlightAware, more than 780 flights have already been canceled nationwide. Delta Air Lines announced plans to cancel around 170 flights on Friday, while American Airlines said it would cut 220 flights daily through Monday.

The FAA stated that reductions will begin at 4% and could ramp up to 10% by November 14. These cutbacks, impacting all commercial airlines, will be in effect between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The agency asserts that these measures are necessary to relieve pressure on air traffic controllers, who have been working without pay for over a month. Many controllers are working six-day weeks with mandatory overtime, and an increasing number have started calling out, citing exhaustion and financial strain.

“You can’t expect people to go in to work when they’re not getting a paycheck,” said Kelly Matthews of Flat Rock, Michigan, a frequent business traveler who has canceled most of her upcoming trips. “It’s not a matter of them not wanting to do the job, but you can’t afford to pay for gas, your day care, and everything else.”

This order coincides with the Trump administration ramping up pressure on Democrats in Congress to end the government shutdown. Airlines have said they will strive to minimize the impact on customers, with some planning to focus on reducing routes to and from small and medium-sized cities.

According to the Department of Transportation, carriers must refund customers whose flights are canceled, but are not required to cover secondary costs such as food and hotel accommodations unless the delay or cancellation was within the airline’s control.

Industry analyst Henry Harteveldt warned that the reductions will “have a noticeable impact across the U.S. air transportation system.” The cuts could also affect package delivery services, as both Memphis, Tennessee (FedEx hub) and Louisville, Kentucky (UPS hub and site of this week’s deadly cargo plane crash) are among the airports facing reductions.

Florida university leaders eye H-1B visas

Posted on by
Reply

State university leaders in January will address Governor Ron DeSantis’ directive to end the use of H-1B visas for hiring foreign faculty, according to Ray Rodrigues, Chancellor of the State University System.

Rodrigues informed the Board of Governors on Thursday that discussions with university presidents are already underway. “We’ve heard the call to address it and we will continue to work with our universities and staff to answer the call,” Rodrigues said during a meeting at the University of South Florida.

Governor DeSantis raised the issue during an appearance at the school on October 29. His proposal comes on the heels of a restriction from former President Donald Trump’s administration that would require foreign-born individuals to pay a $100,000 fee for the H-1B visa—a cost expected to be covered by the hiring institution.

DeSantis has criticized the use of H-1B employees, stating that they are often used as “cheap labor” to reduce costs. “When you see in the news all these people being laid off by Amazon, UPS, all these companies, we need to make sure our citizens here in Florida are first in line for job opportunities,” the governor said last week.

“We can do it with our residents in Florida or with Americans, and if we can’t do it, then, man, we need to really look deeply about what is going on with this situation,” DeSantis added.

The Florida Board of Governors is scheduled to meet January 28-29 at Florida State University to further discuss the matter.

Sustainable Westchester pulling the plug on Westchester Power

Posted on by

**Sustainable Westchester to End Westchester Power Program**

Sustainable Westchester, the organization responsible for the Westchester Power program, is ending the initiative that has connected more than two dozen municipalities—and many of their residents and businesses—to cleaner energy. The program is set to shut down at the end of November.

**What Was Westchester Power?**

Westchester Power served as an electricity supplier for customers of Con Edison or New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG), even though these companies continued to deliver electricity using their own distribution networks. The aggregation program specialized in providing clean, renewable energy at steady, long-term rates to tens of thousands of residents and businesses.

**Why Is the Program Ending?**

According to Sustainable Westchester, new rules implemented by New York State governing community energy programs statewide have made it difficult to continue the program. These regulations impact all Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) administrators and their energy suppliers. The organization determined that maintaining Westchester Power under the state’s new regulatory framework is not feasible.

**What Happens Next for Customers?**

Sustainable Westchester assures residential customers and small businesses within the 26 municipalities previously served by Westchester Power that there will be no disruption to their electric service. After the program ends on November 30, affected customers will automatically return to either Con Edison or NYSEG as their electric generation supplier—whichever company they used prior to joining Westchester Power—unless they have already made alternative arrangements with another electric generation provider. This change will take place in the first billing period following November 30.

**Environmental Impact**

Since its inception, the Westchester Power program has had a significant positive effect on the environment. Sustainable Westchester calculates that the program reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 1.5 million metric tons—the equivalent of removing 35,000 gasoline-powered cars from the road.

**Looking Ahead: Commitment to Clean Energy**

Even though the Westchester Power program is ending, Sustainable Westchester remains committed to supporting local clean energy initiatives. The organization will continue working with member municipalities to promote and expand participation in other programs such as GridRewards, Solarize, EnergySmart HOMES, Community Solar, and MOVE. Sustainable Westchester also plans to explore additional ways to increase the adoption of clean energy throughout the region.

For updates and more information, residents are encouraged to visit the Sustainable Westchester website or contact their local municipality.

No. 3 UF routs North Florida by 40 as Gators bounce back from Arizona loss

Posted on by

GAINESVILLE, Florida — The Florida Gators bounced back from a season-opening loss to Arizona with a vengeance on Thursday night, delivering a dominant defensive performance and a strong showing from All-America candidate Alex Condon, who was sorely missed in Monday night’s game in Las Vegas.

North Florida never really stood a chance as the Gators rolled to a convincing 104-64 victory at the O’Connell Center. This win came after Florida’s 93-87 loss to Arizona, which marked the start of their title defense. Despite the early setback, national championship vibes were palpable throughout the packed arena.

A crowd of 10,065 fans roared with excitement even before tip-off as the school unveiled the 2025 national championship banner, now proudly hanging in the rafters on the stadium’s east side. The energy in the building was electric, underscoring the high expectations for the team this season.

Although UF held a clear talent advantage, North Florida put up an early fight. The teams traded the lead six times in the first five minutes before the Gators steadily pulled away and locked down on defense. The Ospreys struggled offensively, shooting just 31% from the floor, while Florida connected on 49%.

This victory marked Florida’s 35th straight home opener win, a streak dating back to a 76-74 loss to Texas in 1990 during coach Lon Kruger’s first season at UF.

Leading the way for the Gators was Alex Condon, who scored 25 points on 8-of-12 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds for his 10th career double-double. He also contributed four assists, three blocks, two steals, and committed just one turnover. This performance was a significant bounce-back from his earlier outing in Las Vegas, where he struggled against Arizona.

In that game, the 6-foot-11, 230-pound Aussie and preseason AP first-team All-America candidate managed only 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting, had a career-high six turnovers, and was physically outmatched by true freshman Koa Peat, who scored 30 points.

Backup center Micah Handlogten also made a strong impact Thursday, finishing with 17 points and 13 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double. Meanwhile, Thomas Haugh added 12 points and eight rebounds, helping Florida dominate the boards with a 64-24 rebounding advantage.

The Gators outscored North Florida 66-22 in the paint, establishing their inside presence as the key factor in the blowout win.

With the game well in hand late, the fans energized the crowd by chanting for 7-foot-9 freshman Olivier Rioux. Responding to the enthusiasm, coach Todd Golden gave Rioux a moment to shine. With Florida leading 102-61 and just over two minutes remaining, Rioux made his collegiate debut, becoming the tallest player to ever compete in a college basketball game.

The Gators’ emphatic win serves as a statement that they are ready to defend their national title and continue their dominance at home this season.

Federal Reserve Prepares Response Amid Rising Market Pressure

**Wall Street Banks Alert Federal Reserve to Renewed Money Market Pressures**

Wall Street banks have sounded the alarm to the Federal Reserve regarding renewed pressures in the U.S. money market. This warning has prompted the possibility of swift Fed intervention to prevent rising short-term interest rates. The situation not only threatens broader financial stability but also has potential implications for cryptocurrency markets, which have recently experienced notable volatility and asset price declines.

—

### Fed Intervention Likely as Wall Street Warns of Market Stress

Warnings from several Wall Street banks suggest that stress in the U.S. money market could be imminent. This may prompt the Federal Reserve to step in to manage and stabilize short-term rates. Market experts expressed concerns during November over possible repeat fluctuations in rates, reminiscent of historical repo market crises.

Immediate effects include growing uncertainty within money markets and fears over sudden hikes in overnight repo rates. Should such incidents recur, both the traditional financial system and the cryptocurrency sector could face disruption. The Federal Reserve’s anticipated involvement highlights ongoing fragility in U.S. monetary flows.

—

Expert insights from institutions like Citibank and Curvature Securities indicate expectations for recurring financial pressures, particularly around critical financial closing periods. As Deirdre Dunn, Head of Rates at Citibank, noted:

> “I don’t think this is just a one-off anomaly that lasts a few days. The structural pressures in the repo market are real, and we should expect volatility to return, especially around month-end and year-end.”

These observations align with indications that the Federal Reserve is prepared to act decisively if necessary, possibly relying on its liquidity facilities to alleviate market stress.

—

### Crypto Market Volatility Mirrors Financial Uncertainty

Did you know? The Federal Reserve’s first major repo intervention in September 2019 coincided with a sharp 12% drop in cryptocurrency prices like Bitcoin, as markets adjusted to overnight rate spikes.

Recently, cryptocurrency data reveals that Bitcoin (BTC), currently priced at $102,218.97, experienced a 1.18% decrease in the past 24 hours. Over the last week, Bitcoin has seen a notable decline of 6.07%, according to CoinMarketCap. Despite these fluctuations, the overall crypto market capitalization remains at approximately $2.18 trillion.

—

The recent turmoil in money markets and the Federal Reserve’s potential interventions underscore the interconnectedness of traditional financial systems and emerging digital asset markets. Investors and market participants should stay vigilant as these developments continue to unfold.
