Cory Gloe, 19, who was indicted on 17 counts stemming from a 2014 collision that left five people dead, is likely to be sentenced to six months in jail.

The Upshot

How Wage Insurance Could Ease Economic Inequality

Providing wage protection to those who lose their jobs could be expanded through the government and in the private sector.

It will not happen here.
It is philosophically excluded.

What Weather Is the Fault of Climate Change?

A new study finds that climate change can be singled out as a factor in some episodes of extreme weather.

This version is just preaching.
Heidi Cullen could not read the paper

The text is much calmer and more frightening.

Physically, President Obama Is None the Worse for Wear

An examination of the president showed that he had a lower weight and an improved heart rate, blood pressure and cholesterol level than in 2014.

The "Green Room" is healthy once it is accepted.
Drama is personally injurious.

The Nine Best Jewels of Paris Fashion Week

Highlights from the fall/winter 2016 runways.

The jewels are not helping the clothes.

The medieval practice of the jewel as a badge of rank

Murder of Abusive Husband Casts Stark Light on Domestic Violence in France

The case of Jacqueline Sauvage, who shot her husband after years of abuse, raises a difficult question for France: Are such killings self-defense?

Obviously such killings are self defense.
Legally they are murder.
A better way is divorce.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce#At-fault_divorce
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture

"France first recognized domestic abuse in its penal code in 1992, and it has adopted a range of measures in recent years to tackle the problem. Training on violence against women became mandatory for doctors and midwives in 2013, and a free national phone line was set up in 2014. More training for police officers and social workers is planned."

The lack of shelters and legal support is surprising.

A Cozy Bar to Call Home in Ridgewood, Queens

Filled with books, a fireplace and comfy couches, the Bad Old Days evokes a Midwestern family’s lake house.

A treasure of a kind we find or create.

I would like to do it without the alcohol.

An actual fire is better.

Couches should be personal. 
They indicate a kind of social space.

Pepe Manigault draws inspiration from his years in other kitchens to create the menu at his restaurant, a largely takeout cafe in New Rochelle that specializes in seafood.

N.J. Transit Users Study Their Options in Case of Train Strike

Commuters look at how they might get to work in New York City if rail workers and the agency do not reach a labor deal.

The Hydra Gets a New Mouth With Every Meal

Raise the Minimum Wage to $15?

Readers offer opposing views on whether it would benefit workers and the effect on businesses.

A high minimum wage is the better alternative.

Missouri Senate Approves Bill Protecting Foes of Gay Marriage

Republicans broke a filibuster by Democrats, passing a bill that would shield religious groups and businesses from having to facilitate same-sex weddings.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_accommodations

Homosexuality is probably properly a disability.
The gay would fight the designation.
