Authorities say a man has been struck by a float and killed by a Mardi Gras float during a parade in New Orleans. It was the second death in days involving a parade float and cast a pall over the Carnival festivities. Police said in a statement that the death occurred Saturday night on a downtown parade route of the Krewe of Endymion. The rest of the parade was canceled. The New Orleans mayor said the city is grieving anew after a woman was killed on a parade route Wednesday. The man's name wasn't immediately released. 536

Big companies like Amazon, Target and Costco are just a few that have increased the minimum wage of their employees to or near . On Tuesday, Bank of America announced they would increase their employee’s starting wages to even more than that, starting at an hour. In two years, the company said that minimum will go up to an hour. “I think we're gonna see significant change in income for a lot of folks, and that's gonna have an impact on the economy,” says Leo Gertner with the National Employment Law Project. Gertner says that while we may not think of banking as a low-wage industry, the average wage for a bank teller is .52. "Even the difference to , but then to and then , that's a huge difference. That's, you know, over 50 percent increase, and that's gonna have a really huge effect on some workers lives,” Gertner says. Molly Vigil, with staffing agency The Employment Firm, says in today’s job market, raising base pay is now a necessity for attracting applicants. “A lot of places are having to increase their wages just to attract people to apply for the positions that they have open,” Vigil says. “There's so many jobs right now.” Vigil says more and more companies will follow suit. In turn, that will yield better talent, who stick around the company longer. “I think you're gonna get people with a little more experience in the field, probably people who will bring some great ideas, great motivation to your team, some great teamwork, and just a good employee morale, which is going to help your longevity of your employees overall,” Vigil says. 1604

ARKANSAS — This week, the community of Willow Beach, Arkansas, just north of Little Rock, is being tested by Mother Nature.It’s a neighborhood fighting off the rising floodwaters of the nearby Arkansas River.“I don't think you'll find a better neighborhood in the United States than this,” resident May Morris said.“This whole thing is like a war. You know … you’re just trying to see what your enemy's doing, where it is going, and try to get out in front of it and stop it.,” resident Jerry Yanker said.Yanker’s weapon of choice is plastic tubing filled with water, and sandbags, forming a fortress around the house.“The strategy now is you try to dam it off and contain it, so now you just try to pump it out faster than it comes in. And you can, up to a limit,” he said.Yanker has rigged makeshift pumps, and so far, they have kept the water from seeping in underneath his home.He isn’t fighting the battle alone.“There are three houses of us here, we are kind of like a crisis crew. ... You wake up and say, for me, today, here's my priorities to get done. And then they'll come over and say, ‘Oh! Robert’s pipe has rolled! We gotta get over and sandbag’,” he said.Two houses down, Kenny and May Morris, with feet of water in their backyard, say their neighborhood crisis crew is the reason they’ve been able to keep a smile on their faces and push forward."We put out the little email or call in the morning, and before you know it, the street’s full of people and throwing sandbags,” Kenny Morris said. "It's really humbled us."“It makes tears come to your eyes to talk about it, to think about what’s gonna happen to a lot of good neighbors. and possibly us. And it’s already happened to five to six neighbors on the other end. They're inundated’ it’s in their house.,” Morris said.Their biggest fear now is a forecast calling for several more inches of rain before Friday."If we get what they’re calling for, the whole neighborhood's in trouble,” Morris said.“It’s like death by a thousand cuts, you know?” Yanker said.But his philosophy is simple:“All you can do is all you can do. If that ain't enough then you lose,” he said. 2149

Brother and sister Paul and Angelica Gallegos have spent a lot more time together this past school year. That’s because their school district, 27J outside Denver, became the first district in a major metropolitan area to switch to a four-day school week.And at first, it was a scary idea for mom Crystal.“I was a little freaked out,” Gallegos said.She had to convince her employer to let her work from home, since her kids would now be there every Monday. So far, she says the new school schedule hasn’t been that hard to get used to.“I like it, but that’s because I get to spend time with my kids,” she said.Every Monday they’ve come to a local state park where the kids volunteer.“We feed the animals we feed the birds,” said 12 year old Angelica. “On certain days we take kids on trail walks.”But asked if they prefer the new shorter weeks in class?“[I’d] go back to the old way,” says 9-year-old Paul. “I’d rather have school Mondays then stay an extra hour.”To make their weeks shorter, the four classroom days have to be longer. And then there’s homework.“This year, we did almost two hours of homework a night ,” said mom Crystal. “And then she plays softball, so that on top of practice, on top of—it was just a lot for her this year.”The Roberts family just down the block has mixed feelings. Kendra, 12, who uses the extra day to hangout with friends, grins from ear to ear when asked if she likes it.“Yea,” she says smiling.Mom Alecia Roberts sees pros and cons.“We have more family time on the weekends because then we can focus on other things during Mondays,” Roberts said. “But I still work on Mondays.”District superintendent Chris Fiedler says the biggest reason for the change was to attract more qualified teacher applicants. And so far, he says, its worked.“[For] elementary teaching positions a good pool [of applicants] would have been 40-50, and we were seeing pools of over 100,” Fiedler said.He says they’re also more experienced applicants. The district will soon head into their second year of a three-year trial, but it could be here to stay.“It’s really been a useful tool,” Fiedler said.The district has offered daycare for every Monday. 2183

California will be the first state to require public colleges and universities to offer abortion medication at campus health centers. The new legislation was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. It's a reversal from former Governor Jerry Brown, who vetoed the measure last year. The law takes effect in 2023 and will only be implemented if a state commission can raise more than million in private donations to pay for it. 443
