Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees are one group who are expected to work without pay during the shutdown. Now, some of them have been choosing not to come in by calling in sick. Brian Turner, a TSA agent, and his wife are new parents. Thanks to the government shutdown, Turner has no idea when he'll get his next paycheck, and the couple is worried they could run out of money by the end of the month. “We are a paycheck to paycheck family, in the reality of it,” Turner says. “So, we do depend on that constant income.” Turner is considered an essential employee, so he still has to work even though he's not currently getting paid.“When you don't have a paycheck coming in and you don't have a guaranteed source of income when you thought you did, it's disheartening and it kind of makes you feel a little panicked,” he says.For some TSA agents, the shutdown is taking its toll. A growing number of agents are now calling out sick to work other places or to find new jobs. Safety and long lines could become another concern if the shutdown continues. “Poor morale or other issues that could affect the TSA because of the shutdown and not getting paid, that could have some sort of intangible effect on how well they're doing their jobs,” says David Inserra, with the Heritage Foundation. “People are people, and if you're not getting paid, if you're upset, you're probably not going to be doing as good of a job as you otherwise would.” For now, Turner is still going to work. He hopes Congress and President Trump do the same and find a shutdown solution. “You feel hopeless and you feel helpless,” Turner expresses. “I'm not in Washington. I don't have the influence these people of power have, and we rely on them. We elect them to these positions to get a job done.” 1807

Three more parents pleaded guilty in federal court on Wednesday, the latest to fall in what authorities called the largest collegiate admissions scam ever prosecuted.Gregory Abbott, founder and chairman of a food and beverage packaging company, his wife, Marcia Abbott, and Peter Jan Sartorio, the founder of a frozen burrito company, all went before a federal judge to formally enter their pleas to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.Prosecutors said evidence included recorded phone calls and emails that show all three communicating directly with the mastermind of the scheme, William Rick Singer, to get their children guaranteed path into the prestigious college of their choice.As part of their plea agreements, prosecutors are recommending the Abbotts serve 12 months and a day in prison, while Sartorio would serve between zero and six months.Prosecutors said the Abbotts paid Singer a total of 5,000 in purported donations to his foundation to inflate their daughter's scores on both the ACT and SAT exams. Mark Riddell, who has also plead guilty for his role in the scam, corrected her test scores for the ACT in March and then for the SAT subject tests in October."Do you know how she did on her own," Gregory Abbott was heard on a recorded phone call asking, according to prosecutors. "Yeah, I do. She scored in the mid-600s," replied Singer.The Abbott's daughter scored 800 on the math portion and 710 on the literature, both scores out of a possible 800, prosecutors said.In court in Boston on Wednesday, the Abbotts they understood the scores would be corrected but did not know the details of how it would happen. "I didn't know the system. I didn't know how things were implemented," Marcia Abbott said.Meanwhile, Sartorio, a packaged food entrepreneur, paid Singer ,000 in cash to have Riddell correct his daughter's ACT exam in June 2017, prosecutors said.After the exam, Singer, who was now working with the federal government, answered a call from Sartorio and told him the Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF), the charity that fronted as a means to collect payment for the scheme, was being audited.Singer told Sartorio that he wouldn't show up in the alleged audit because he paid cash but wanted to "touch base" in case the IRS reached out to Sartorio."All I know is I paid bills that were sent to me, invoiced," Sartorio said, according to a criminal complaint.Sartorio's attorney, Peter Levitt, told the judge, "Like the Abbotts, Mr. Sartorio didn't know the details or the information about payments Mr. Singer made to other people."Attorneys for the Abbotts and Sartorio declined to comment after court.On Tuesday, two other parents appeared in court to plead guilty.Gordon Caplan, a former partner and co-chairman of international law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, pleaded guilty to paying ,000 as part of a scheme to cheat on his daughter's ACT.Agustin Huneeus Jr., a California vineyard owner, 2978

The push to create environmentally-friendly products and to cease using single-use plastics is only gaining steam. The earth-conscious company Open Water ditched traditional plastic packaging long ago for eco-friendly aluminum. “Cans are recycled more often more efficiently than any other packaging material out there,” explains Open Water co-founder Nicole Doucet. “They don’t lose any quality in the process, so they can be recycled over and over again which is really cool.”The problem with plastic is that lately, even when tossed in a recycling bin, it isn’t always re-used. That’s because there aren’t enough facilities in the U.S. to process all the wasted plastic.Another problem with plastic?“They often don’t make it to recycling bins, so people just throw them in the trash or in the streets,” Doucet says.Open Water began five years ago, but only recently have sales really taken off. They credit an environmentally-conscious public.Just this week, Coca-Cola announced its flagship water brand Dasani would soon be sold in aluminum in addition to the traditional plastic, and companies like Coors are experimenting with ditching plastic rings for ones made out of biodegradable materialWhile those companies will now be a competitor of Open Water, the company’s founders say the end result is a less polluted planet.“Well I think it’s awesome,” Doucet says of the companies’ efforts to reduce plastic waste. “We started this company with idea we wanted to make a difference, and if we are pushing larger companies to go this way too, then I think it’s incredible. A great result for everyone.” 1618

There's a new tool available to help you make more environmentally-friendly choices while you shop, but the creator of the new technology needs your help. Creator Jamie McCroskery really loves the outdoors, and that passion took him to South America. “One day I was paddling down these fjords and saw these endless series of salmon fishing farms, which locals told me were destroying the environment through all this pollution,” McCroskery recalled.And that was when he got an idea. “It dawned on me that day, paddling in the ocean, that it seems strange that people who have the most access to information, the most resources can’t even figure out what to put on their dinner plate without violating their personal values,” he said. McCroskery has a special skill. He's helped build major technology products for companies like Dropbox and Glossier. “People are always going to be shopping for things. That’s how you have to survive, so why not help them make better choices while shopping,” he said.So, he created 1029

The Senate passed Thursday a massive budget deal that would stave off the looming threat of a potential default on US debt and prevent automatic spending cuts to domestic and military funding.The a final vote was 67-28 and the bill will now go to President Donald Trump for his signature.The vote followed days of grumbling from GOP senators about the cost of the package and uncertainty surrounding who will support it.The agreement, negotiated between congressional leaders and the Trump administration, represents a significant bipartisan compromise but the vote in the GOP-led Senate has proven slightly tougher than some expected among Republicans.In floor remarks ahead of the vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the proposal "a strong deal.""In recent weeks, key officials on President Trump's team engaged in extensive negotiations with Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic House," the Kentucky Republican said. "Given the exigencies of divided government, we knew that any bipartisan agreement on funding levels would not appear perfect to either side. But the administration negotiated a strong deal."On Wednesday, McConnell wouldn't directly answer if more than half his caucus would vote for the bill, only replying to CNN: 1260
