Clément nous parle des garanties santé et prévoyance au sein de la protection sociale complémentaire (PSC) pour les agents publics. Si la santé est obligatoire et prise en charge à 50 % par l'État, la prévoyance, elle, est facultative. Cette garantie couvrant des risques lourds comme l'incapacité et le décès, son caractère optionnel expose les assureurs à l'antisélection et par conséquent, à une faible mutualisation de leurs portefeuilles. Par ailleurs, le cadre réglementaire notamment la loi Évin n'étant pas encore pleinement mis en œuvre pour la prévoyance, son application demeure à géométrie variable, laissant différentes interprétations aux employeurs publics. Des interprétations qui ne bénéficient guère aux assureurs face à des appels d'offres hétérogènes et complexes à tarifer. La prévoyance dans la PSC reste encore à clarifier et à harmoniser, affaire à suivre... Abonnez-vous pour rester informé des dernières évolutions et tendances dans le domaine de l'assurance.Hébergé par Ausha.

Both sides of an education pay dispute claim they were always open to negotiations. The mega-strike is winding down after some 100,000 health workers, teachers, and public sector staff walked off the job. Education Minister Erica Stanford says it's disappointing - considering the Government's been willing to keep the issue at the bargaining table. NZEI's Liam Rutherford says so have they. "We've never left the negotiating table - we had three afternoons last week, the primary teachers did, trying to get an offer out of the PSC and we've got dates to go back in the coming weeks as well."

Top Stories for October 14th Publish Date: October 14th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, October 14th and Happy Birthday to Dwight Eisenhower I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Falcons serve up support for breast cancer fighters at Dazzle & Dine event Beckles to deliver keynote address at KSU Fintech Hackathon Pipe Dream: Retired teacher Ken Leach upcycles PVC into marine life art All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Falcons serve up support for breast cancer fighters at Dazzle & Dine event Zach Harrison stood at the hibachi grill, spatula in hand, a crowd of phones aimed at him like it was game day. “More veggies?” he asked, flipping a perfect scoop onto a plate. The crowd? Lost it. On last Tuesday night, five current and five former Falcons swapped helmets for aprons at Fumi Hibachi & Sushi in Duluth, cooking dinner for ten women who’ve battled breast cancer. “It’s a dope event,” said running back Tyler Allgeier. “Seeing their smiles—it’s awesome.” The night, part of the Falcons and Emory Healthcare’s Dazzle & Dine, wasn’t just about food. It was about celebrating resilience. Alexandra French, cancer-free for five years, said, “Tonight reminded me I’m still beautiful, still here, still me.” The women, treated to massages, makeovers, and a shopping spree earlier, walked into the restaurant on a pink carpet, greeted by applause and players ready to grill. From fire volcanoes to flying rice, the players brought their A-game. STORY 2: Beckles to deliver keynote address at KSU Fintech Hackathon State Rep. Arlene Beckles, is set to speak to over 200 students later this month at Kennesaw State University’s Fall 2025 Fintech Hackathon. The event, running Oct. 24-25 at the KSU Center, challenges students to tackle real-world fintech problems—think payment security, compliance headaches, and cybersecurity. Beckles, a member of the Georgia House’s Technology and Infrastructure Innovation Committee, will deliver the keynote, emphasizing the role of young innovators in Georgia’s “Transaction Alley.” The Hackathon offers cash prizes—$4,000 for first place, $3,000 for second, and $2,000 for third—judged by fintech pros and academics. STORY 3: Pipe Dream: Retired teacher Ken Leach upcycles PVC into marine life art Ken Leach didn’t plan on becoming an artist. After 35 years teaching and coaching in Gwinnett County schools, he retired in 2022, unsure of what was next. Yard work? Sitting around? Not his style. Then, while cleaning out his basement, he stumbled on a forgotten gift—a Japanese swan made from PVC pipe, given to him decades ago by a student’s dad. That swan sparked an idea. Now, Leach transforms surplus PVC into lifelike egrets, flamingos, manta rays, and more. His work isn’t cartoony—he’s all about realism, except for the bold, eye-catching colors that make his pieces pop. At Suwanee Fest, his booth won the Mayor’s Choice Award, and he nearly sold out. Leach’s art isn’t just about creativity—it’s about purpose. He’s keeping PVC out of landfills, sourcing materials from plumbers, Facebook Marketplace, and even a guy with a 50-foot trailer full of pipe. Next up? The North Georgia Apple Festival, where he’s expecting 100,000 visitors. For more on PVSea Creations, check Facebook or Instagram, or email pvseacreatures@gmail.com.

We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Housing Matters: Rainbow Village gala, golf tournament raise nearly $750,000 Skyrocketing rents and relentless demand are pushing people to the brink—some into overpriced hotels, others into homelessness. It’s a crisis, plain and simple. But in Duluth, Rainbow Village is fighting back. Their 20th annual gala and charity golf tournament raised an incredible $749,807 this year. The football-themed “Tailgate to Tackle Homelessness” event, hosted by Northside Hospital, featured mascots Freddie Falcon and Lil’ Fred, a mobile bar, and Emmy-winning sportscaster Ernie Johnson as emcee. Former resident Shakia S. shared how Rainbow Village’s support helped her become a medical assistant. And CEO Melanie Conner announced a bold expansion: 36 new apartments, doubling their capacity. Next up? A pickleball fundraiser on Nov. 15. Details at rainbowvillage.org/events. STORY 5: Solar power and data centers a focus for Public Service Commission candidate Peter Hubbard, a solar power advocate running for Georgia’s Public Service Commission, stood alone at last Wednesday’s debate—literally. His opponent, Republican Fitz Johnson, didn’t show. “Why didn’t you have the courage to defend your six rate hikes in two years?” Hubbard asked, staring into the camera. “And what’s your plan to lower power bills?” The PSC, a five-member board, oversees electricity, gas, and telecom providers. Hubbard is challenging Johnson for an abbreviated term in District 3, a race born out of a lawsuit that delayed elections and argued statewide voting diluted Black voters’ influence. Hubbard criticized current policies, claiming they favor data centers—huge energy consumers—at the expense of regular customers. He pushed for solar and battery storage as cheaper, more sustainable solutions. The election is Nov. 4, with local races likely driving turnout. STORY 6: Mill Creek Topples Collins Hill in Overtime Thriller For the second year in a row, Collins Hill and Mill Creek went to war in the second half. But this time, the Hawks walked away with the win. In overtime, Mill Creek’s Carson Hurter snagged a clutch interception, setting up Jayde Beasley’s two-yard, game-winning touchdown run. Final score: 20-14. Chaos on the field. Mill Creek quarterback Anderson Ragone threw for 193 yards and two touchdowns, while Beasley pounded out 158 rushing yards. Collins Hill’s A.J. Bush threw for 352 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off twice, including the game-sealer. STORY 7: ART BEAT: Stone Mountain Chorus presents 'A Music Man Showcase' at Red Clay Theatre “Seventy-six Trombones.” You hear it, and you’re already smiling, right? That iconic tune—and plenty more from The Music Man—is coming to Duluth on Oct. 26. If you’re into barbershop harmony or just need a feel-good Sunday, this is your ticket. The show kicks off at 3 p.m. at the Red Clay Music Foundry, a cozy 260-seat venue with top-notch sound and lighting. Expect a full lineup: four quartets, the full chorus, and even a Harold Hill stirring up “Trouble” in River City. Plus, Rontray Miller II—a rising star in choral music—will conduct. It’s barbershop, nostalgia, and pure joy rolled into one. We’ll have closing comments after this.

In this powerful episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with Lucy, a remarkable patient who faced one of the most difficult reconstructive journeys imaginable. At just nine years old, Lucy was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and later primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), conditions that ultimately led her to undergo a life-saving liver transplant at the age of 26. Her brother became her living donor, giving her not only a second chance at life, but also a new battle: living with the aftermath of a massive Mercedes incision scar, abdominal wall weakness, and multiple failed hernia repairs. Dr. Rahban walks listeners through Lucy's story of resilience, exploring the intersection between reconstructive surgery and cosmetic outcomes. He explains why scar tissue, abdominal wall hernias, and post-transplant deformities are not just functional issues but deeply impact body image and confidence. Lucy's journey highlights how revision surgery is about more than “fixing” a scar — it's about restoring strength, balance, and aesthetic harmony to the abdomen. From failed liposuction recommendations to the dangers of blind fat transfers over hernias, Dr. Rahban exposes the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all surgical solutions. Instead, he reveals the meticulous, individualized approach required in cases like Lucy's — blending the principles of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), abdominal wall reconstruction, and functional hernia repair into a procedure that is both life-changing and aesthetically transformative. Seven months post-surgery, Lucy shares how she's back to horseback riding, jumping, and training multiple horses daily — a true testament to the power of plastic surgery done right. Together, Dr. Rahban and Lucy shed light on key lessons for anyone considering revision surgery, scar revision, or reconstructive procedures after major abdominal operations: Why transparency and patient education are non-negotiable.The red flags of overconfident surgeons.How to evaluate surgical recommendations that actually make sense.The importance of marrying form and function in every operation.This episode is not just about one patient's story — it's about a universal message: whether it's breast reconstruction, hernia repair, or abdominal scar revision, every patient deserves results that look as good as they feel.

Send us a textIn this episode of Conversations with Big Rich, Texas native Lance Gilbert traces his winding path from small-town Keller and church-band guitars to VW shops, GM dealerships, architecture school, homebuilding—and a post-9/11 pivot back to off-road. Lance shares formative years at Sunray Engineering with the late Tom Ellison, a decade at PSC with Tom Allen, and deep roots in early Ultra4 and King of the Hammers.Highlights: - Early days: fishing, bikes, first wrenching job at a VW/Audi/Porsche shop; first rigs from Suburbans to Isuzu pickups and Jeeps. - Career pivots: dealerships to homebuilding; how 9/11 led to Sunray and custom axle innovation; later years at PSC and into Tribe 16. - Racing stories: Class 3 in Baja, the early KOH era, and a memorable Vegas to Reno with the Texas crew. - Tribe 16 name: a nod to 4x4 (“the 16”) and the “night shift” culture of building with friends. - Today at Tribe 16: customer Jeeps, high-end builds and restorations (Scout, '72 Commando, CJ-7), gear and maintenance, and two new Tribe chassis trail cars. - Community first: Texas trail rides, shop trips, the legendary Crawfish Boil, and why local shops collaborate more than they compete.Lance's take: passion fuels the work, but relationships sustain the business—and the off-road family is the heartbeat of Tribe 16. Support the show

L'informe desfavorable de secretaria i d'intervenció, que implicava l'aixecament d'una objecció suspensiva, fou, a la vegada, l'argument al qual s'agafà el PSC, qüestionant al govern que li encomanés assumir una responsabilitat que en cap moment ha assumit ni l'executiu ni la regidora de l'àmbit, Cristina Guiu.

State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk

Top Stories for August 2nd Publish Date: August 2nd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 2nd and Happy Birthday to Carroll O’Connor I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Plus, the Stripers report with JR Ritchie, starter in the MLB All-Star Futures Game and the Braves’ No. 2 prospect All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! ---------------------- Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG ---------------------- STORY 1: State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk  Cobb County Court Clerk Connie Taylor was indicted Thursday, accused of ordering the destruction of government emails and financial records in 2022. The charges? Two counts each of destroying public records and violating her oath of office. The allegations stem from an open records request in October 2022. Taylor allegedly told an employee to delete the documents. Calls to Taylor’s office Thursday? Dodged. One staffer even forwarded a call to a local newspaper. The GBI and Carr’s White Collar and Cyber Crime Unit presented evidence to a grand jury, leading to the indictment. For now, Taylor is presumed innocent, but the case has echoes of a 2019 conviction Carr secured against a former Atlanta press secretary for delaying open records. Transparency, it seems, remains a battle. STORY 2: Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 If you live in Dacula or Buford, you’ve got bragging rights—both suburbs just ranked among the safest in America, according to a new study by SmartAsset. Dacula snagged the No. 5 spot, with Buford right behind at No. 6. Not bad, right? The study looked at everything from violent and property crime rates to traffic deaths, drug overdoses, and even excessive drinking. Dacula’s numbers? Just 0.0017 violent crimes per capita and 0.0062 property crimes. Buford wasn’t far off, but Dacula edged it out. Both cities tied in other categories, like traffic deaths (9.34 per 100,000) and overdose rates. Oh, and housing? Dacula’s median monthly cost is $1,547, while Buford’s is a bit lower at $1,300. Georgia had a few other cities in the rankings—Canton at No. 20, Acworth at 63—but Dacula and Buford are clearly leading the pack. STORY 3: Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Georgia Power is making big moves, asking state regulators to greenlight nearly 10,000 megawatts of new energy projects. That’s a lot of power—enough to keep millions of homes and businesses running, no matter the weather. Most of it—about 8,000 megawatts—comes from projects already approved in 2022, including natural gas plants, solar paired with batteries, and standalone battery storage systems. Another 1,886 megawatts comes from this year’s plans, with similar projects in the mix. But not everyone’s thrilled. Environmental groups argue the new gas turbines double down on fossil fuels instead of pushing harder for renewables. Still, Georgia Power is leaning into battery storage, with projects underway in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd, and Cherokee counties—and more on the way. The PSC will hold hearings this fall, with a final vote in December. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back ---------------------- Break 2: Ingles Markets ---------------------- STRIPERS INTERVIEW STORY 6: GCPS Community-Based Mentoring Program seeking volunteers The Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program is on the hunt for 200 volunteers to step up and mentor students during the 2025-26 school year. Now in its 16th year, the program has already made a huge impact—last year alone, it supported over 2,550 students in grades 4-12. “It was one of our best years yet,” says James Rayford, the program’s director. They reached every high school, middle school, and all 20 clusters, with a 100% graduation rate for two years running. This year? They’re aiming even higher, adding job-shadowing and internships to the mix. The idea is simple but powerful: one caring adult can change a child’s life. Volunteers can mentor one-on-one or in small groups, helping students build confidence, communication skills, and a sense of belonging. STORY 7: Beyond the classroom: GGC interns gain invaluable real-world experience Summer internships aren’t just résumé fluff—they’re where classroom theory meets the messy, unpredictable real world. For Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) students, it’s a chance to figure out what they love (or don’t) and grow in ways they didn’t expect. Take Kimberly Ramirez, a senior marketing major. “I thought marketing was just ads and social media,” she admits. Turns out, it’s strategy, planning, and making decisions that actually matter. Her internship at InTouch Financial Group? A game-changer. She even runs bilingual webinars—Marketing Monday—teaching agents how to market themselves. Then there’s Joceyln Rubio-Camacho, a finance major. Forget the cubicle stereotype. At Majors Management, she’s learned accounting is as much about people as it is spreadsheets. For cinema major Tony Arreaga, interning at Crazy Legs Production in Atlanta has been a whirlwind. One day he’s hauling props in a box truck; the next, he’s designing sets for a Netflix documentary. “It’s a lot like the Marines,” says the 10-year veteran. “Managing people, equipment, locations—it’s all about discipline.” And Emily Zboran? She’s diving into project management at Majors Management, juggling tasks solo while her bosses travel. “I’ve learned to prioritize, organize, and trust myself,” she says. The takeaway? Internships are tough to land, but worth it.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of August 1st Publish Date: August 1st Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Friday, August 1st and Happy Birthday to Coolio I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Commissioners threaten lawsuit to stop Hickory Flat annexation Cherokee High welcomes Class of 2029 students at open house Roswell Street Baptist takes step toward merging with Woodstock church Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on GLP-1 Foods We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: Ingles Markets 7 STORY 1: Commissioners threaten lawsuit to stop Hickory Flat annexation Tensions are running high between Cherokee County and the city of Holly Springs over a proposed annexation in Hickory Flat. The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has made it clear: if Holly Springs approves the annexation on Aug. 18, they’re ready to take legal action. The dispute centers on a 20-acre property at Lower Union Hill Road and East Cherokee Drive. Developer Garrard Development, Inc. wants to annex the land into Holly Springs and rezone it for a mix of single-family homes and commercial space. Originally, the plan included 92 townhomes, but those were scrapped after pushback. Residents aren’t thrilled. Over 600 locals have signed a petition opposing the project, citing concerns about traffic, density, and infrastructure strain. County officials argue the annexation violates a 2022 growth boundary agreement meant to guide city-county planning. The Holly Springs Planning Commission narrowly recommended approval, but with conditions—like no drive-thrus and a required privacy fence. Still, the county has flagged procedural issues, including errors in the application and a flawed traffic study. For now, all eyes are on the Holly Springs City Council. Will they approve the annexation or back down? Time will tell. STORY 2: Cherokee High welcomes Class of 2029 students at open house Wednesday was a big day at Cherokee High School. Hundreds of wide-eyed freshmen wandered the halls, clutching schedules and trying to figure out where the heck their classes were. It’s a rite of passage, sure—but this year, it felt different. This is the last group of students to start at the current campus before the school moves to its shiny new location next year. Cherokee High, the oldest high school in the county, has been a fixture on Marietta Highway since 1956. History teacher Erin Forman, a Cherokee alum herself, called it “bittersweet.” Principal Andy Hall, who also happens to be a dad to a freshman this year, said the day was full of smiles—and maybe a few nerves. With 705 freshmen joining the school’s 2,800+ students, Cherokee remains the largest high school in the district. And while the future of the current campus is still up in the air, Assistant Superintendent Rodney Larrotta said a team is working on it. For now, though, the focus is on celebrating the school’s history—and making this final year on the old campus one to remember. STORY 3: Roswell Street Baptist takes step toward merging with Woodstock church Roswell Street Baptist Church, once a thriving hub of faith in Marietta, has voted to merge with First Baptist Church of Woodstock, according to longtime member Joanne Thurston. The decision wasn’t exactly a shock—membership has been shrinking for years, and the church has struggled to find a permanent pastor since 2022. At its peak, Roswell Street was a powerhouse, with 9,200 members in 2014. Now? Weekly attendance hovers around 400. The pandemic didn’t help, but the decline started long before. The church’s 11-acre campus, once bustling, has seen better days. Parts of it have been demolished, and much of the space sits unused. Dan Moran, the transitional pastor, called the merger a partnership, not a takeover. For members like Elizabeth Rhodes, who’s been with the church for over 50 years, the choice is bittersweet. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. Break: HISTORY CHEROKEE STORY 4: Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific merger to create nation's first transcontinental railroad Big news in the world of railroads: Union Pacific and Atlanta-based Norfolk Southern are merging to create the first-ever transcontinental railroad in the U.S. Yep, coast-to-coast. The deal, worth a jaw-dropping $250 billion, still needs federal approval, but if it goes through, it’ll connect 50,000 miles of track across 43 states and link 100 ports. Norfolk Southern’s Mark George echoed the excitement, calling it a “historic moment” for two railroads with deep roots in America’s economy. The combined company will be based in Omaha, but Atlanta isn’t losing its shine—it’ll remain a hub for tech, operations, and innovation. The merger could close by early 2027, pending regulatory approval. STORY 5: Georgia elections agency initiates voter roll scrub, audits PSC runoff count Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is kicking off a four-year process to clean up voter rolls, which could mean nearly 250,000 inactive voters get removed. Here’s the deal: 218,951 voters who haven’t participated since 2019 will get notices. If they don’t respond or vote in the 2026 or 2028 general elections, they’ll be removed by 2029. Meanwhile, Raffensperger is doubling down on election integrity. A hand count of ballots in the recent Democratic PSC runoff confirmed Peter Hubbard’s win, with just a two-vote difference from the machine count—well within the margin of human error. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on GLP-1 Foods Commercial: We’ll have closing comments after this.

Located near a children’s play area, the tree cannot be saved through trimming or treatment. Two other large trees will remain for shade. Brown Park will close for the removal from July 20 to July 24, weather permitting. STORY 2: Fossil fuels to remain in Georgia Power energy-supply mix Georgia’s Public Service Commission approved Georgia Power’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan, allowing continued coal and gas use alongside expanded renewable energy projects. The plan addresses a projected need for 8,500 megawatts of additional capacity by 2030, driven by growing demand from data centers. Critics argue the plan relies on uncertain projections, neglects energy conservation commitments, and will raise rates while harming the environment. Although base rates are frozen for three years, costs from storm damage and increased capacity may still impact customers. Environmental groups warn of long-term financial and ecological consequences. STORY 3: Cherokee Chamber CEO appointed to board for statewide association Pam Carnes, President and CEO of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the Georgia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (GACCE) for a one-year term. With over 34 years of involvement in GACCE, including serving as chair in 2005-2006, Carnes credits the organization for significantly shaping her career. The 2025-2026 GACCE Board officially began its term on July 1. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Fred “Bubba” Longgrear, superintendent of Candler County Schools, joins the race alongside Randell E. Trammel, CEO of the Center for Civic Engagement, and Nelva M. Lee, a Locust Grove entrepreneur. Longgrear, the only current public school employee in the race, highlights his 11 years as a superintendent and focuses on safe learning environments, literacy, and career development. Woods has led the state superintendent’s office since 2015. STORY 5: Clean-energy advocate Hubbard poised to win PSC Democratic runoff Clean-energy advocate Peter Hubbard is leading the Democratic runoff for Georgia's Public Service Commission (PSC) District 3 seat, with 58.1% of the vote against former Atlanta City Councilwoman Keisha Sean Waites. If his lead holds, Hubbard will face incumbent Republican Fitz Johnson in November. Hubbard, an advocate for reducing fossil fuel use, aims to address energy costs and environmental health. Waites, a former state representative and councilwoman, has a background in federal government roles. This marks Johnson's first election since his 2021 appointment. The PSC elections, delayed by a lawsuit over voting rights, will also feature a District 2 race between Republican Tim Echols and Democrat Alicia Johnson.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 12th Publish Date: July 12th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, July 12th and Happy Birthday to Christine McVie I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Local journalist Mario Guevara, known for covering Atlanta's Hispanic community and ICE operations, is no longer facing traffic charges in Gwinnett County. Solicitor General Lisamarie Bristol announced insufficient evidence to prosecute charges of reckless driving, unlawful use of a telecommunication device, and failure to obey signs, as the incidents occurred on private property. However, Guevara still faces federal immigration charges, with ICE questioning his legal status despite his work permit and ongoing efforts toward permanent residency. Guevara claims he is being targeted for his journalism, which has drawn local and national attention. STORY 2: Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Georgia Power's 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) faces scrutiny for overestimating energy demand, driven by the rapid growth of data centers. Critics, including environmental groups, argue the projections could leave ratepayers covering billions in stranded assets if demand falls short. While Georgia Power committed to updating forecasts and reporting on large-load projects, many called for stronger demand-side management (DSM) efforts to reduce energy needs. The utility plans to increase DSM spending from $90M to $160M annually, but some remain dissatisfied. The PSC will vote next week, with debates ongoing over coal plant operations and natural gas upgrades. STORY 3: Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care Around 66,000 Georgians will be diagnosed with cancer this year, with 19,000 deaths expected, prompting state lawmakers to study ways to reduce these rates. Georgia exceeds national averages for lung, prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer, with rural areas facing significant barriers to care due to rising costs, limited access, and medical industry consolidation. Experts highlighted issues like pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) controlling drug markets and low reimbursement rates for clinics. Lawmakers aim to address drug pricing, access to screenings, and systemic healthcare challenges, with plans to continue studying cancer care access and solutions.

We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: Deputies: Buford man threw deep freezer at 59-year-old at Lake Lanier after fight over nudity A Buford man, Logan Nicholas Young, 42, was arrested on July 3 after a bizarre incident on Lake Lanier involving public indecency, a fight, and a flying deep freezer. Young allegedly got naked on a boat, argued with a 59-year-old man, punched him, and later threw a deep freezer at him, causing a head injury and knocking him into the lake. Deputies found Young hiding under a bed on his houseboat after he ignored their attempts to contact him. He was charged with six offenses, including aggravated assault, and released on bond on July 6. STORY 5: Robert Michener named Gateway85 CID's interim executive director The Gateway85 Community Improvement District (CID) appointed longtime employee Robert Michener as interim executive director following Emory Morsberger's resignation after nearly 20 years of involvement. Michener, with 17 years at Gateway85, previously served as director of operations, overseeing infrastructure, security, and landscaping projects. Board Chairman Shiv Aggarwal praised Morsberger's contributions and welcomed Michener's leadership during the transition. The CID will continue focusing on economic development, mobility, and quality of life improvements as it searches for a permanent leader. Michener expressed excitement about guiding the district's next phase of growth. Break 3: STORY 6: 'Superman' stars excited to bring DC reboot to theaters Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced, and Anthony Carrigan star in the new "Superman" reboot, with Gathegi playing Mr. Terrific, Merced as Hawkgirl, and Carrigan debuting as Metamorpho. At a red carpet event in Atlanta, Gathegi contrasted his survival as Mr. Terrific with his infamous death as Darwin in "X-Men: First Class." Merced highlighted the mix of CGI and practical sets, comparing her Hawkgirl role to her experience in "Dora the Explorer." Carrigan, excited to bring fan-favorite Metamorpho to life, praised the detailed makeup used instead of CGI. STORY 7: Gwinnett fire investigators say arsonist tried to burn down Lawrenceville home Gwinnett County fire officials are investigating a suspected arson at a Lawrenceville home on Clairidge Lane on June 27. Firefighters responded to a fire alarm and smoke report, discovering an incendiary device behind the home. The fire was out by the time they arrived, and no injuries were reported. Officials are seeking public help to identify the suspect, with a potential reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Tips can be directed to the Gwinnett Fire Investigations Section or the Georgia Arson Control Hotline.

Capacitor Testing and Replacement - Short #247

In this short podcast episode, Bryan goes through the process of testing and replacing a run capacitor.  Run capacitors provide continuous phase-shifted current to the start winding, allowing the motor to run in the right direction and with the appropriate amount of torque. These capacitors are needed in most of the single-phase PSC motors we work with. Run capacitors are in the circuit all the time and are connected in series with the start winding (compared to start capacitors, which need to be taken out of the circuit after startup). They don't actually "boost" voltage. The bigger the capacitor, the more current can move in and out of the start winding. Run capacitors are made of foil and oil (and the manufacturing quality usually correlates to the capacitor's lifespan), and they usually fail due to overvoltage or overheating. Capacitors may also be replaced with one of a higher voltage rating but not a lower one. Before you test a capacitor, perform a visual inspection. Bloated tops and oil leakage are signs of failure. You'll also want to measure the microfarads and make sure it's within range. An under load test occurs while the system is running (and should NOT be done on blower capacitors for safety reasons). Bench testing happens while the system is off and the capacitor is disconnected and discharged. We have calculators for testing on our app. To test under load, measure the amperage on the start wire and multiply it by 2652. Then, divide that number by the voltage to find the capacitance in microfarads. If the capacitance is over 10% low, replace the capacitor. When replacing a capacitor, make sure the system is off, the capacitor is discharged, and that you tighten the strap and wire it up correctly. It's also a good idea to bench test the new capacitor.   "Capacitor Testing and Replacement Procedure" tech tip: https://www.hvacrschool.com/capacitor-testing-and-replacement-procedure/  "What Is Up With Blower Amps & Watts w/ Steve Rogers" podcast: https://www.hvacrschool.com/podcasts/what-is-up-with-blower-amps-watts-w-steve-rogers/  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
