(The Center Square) – Under a cloudy sky, highway traffic noise from State Route 99 within earshot, 76 gas station manager Diksha said she is feeling the pain at the pump. “I go fill up my tank at Costco,” Diksha, who goes by a single word for her entire name, told The Center Square at her 76 station in Modesto, a city 90 miles east of San Francisco. “But it’s still too much to fill up. It’s like $80 for two or three days, and that’s a lot. Before, it was $80 for a week or a week and a half.” On Tuesday, the average price of gas in California was $6.11 per gallon, according to AAA’s gas price tracker. That’s well above the national average of $4.49. While gas hovered between $6.29 and $6.69 at some gas stations in the agricultural heart of the Golden State, the average price in some counties got even higher. In Mono County on Tuesday, gas hit $7.07 a gallon, while Inyo County saw prices around $6.36 a gallon. By comparison, the average price of a regular gallon of gas on Tuesday was $6.31 a gallon in San Francisco, $6.17 in Los Angeles County and $6.14 in San Diego County. Prices at Diksha's 76 station started at $6.29 a gallon for regular unleaded. “In California, it’s too much. Out of California, it’s like $4,” Dinksha said. “I’m glad I don’t have diesel. Diesel is like $8.” (AAA reported the average for diesel in California on Tuesday was $7.75 a gallon.) Experts from the oil and gas industry recently told California lawmakers that because of long-standing policy that saw more of the state’s unrefined petroleum imported into California rather than extracted here, the ongoing conflict with Iran is creating a bottleneck in the state's oil supply. “It’s a real challenge for California drivers,” said Jim Stanley, director of media relations for the Western States Petroleum Association. “Unfortunately, that is the result of decades of state policy that has made it really hard and really expensive for oil and gas companies to operate," Stanley told The Center Square. "So there really isn’t a silver bullet or a lever the state can pull to bring down prices.” According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the country refined 16.3 million barrels per day through May 15, 80,000 barrels less per day than the weekly average one week prior. Refineries across the U.S. operated at 91.6% of their maximum capacity that week, and gasoline production decreased the same week – averaging out to roughly 9.3 million barrels that week. “Our members are very focused on doing what it takes to meet the energy needs of Californians,” Stanley said. “That includes producing as much crude here in California as we can, refining as much as we can. Whenever there’s a supply crunch like what we’re seeing now, prices tend to rise, and we have to compete on a global market for that fuel.” According to previous reporting by The Center Square, a number of refineries in California have closed, putting the number of active refineries at 13 as of 2024. However, since that time, some refineries have closed, including Phillips 66's facility in the coastal Wilmington portion of Los Angeles and a Valero refinery in Benicia in the San Francisco Bay Area. Research from the Energy Institute at University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business states that California's oil refineries are closing, in part, because of increased environmental regulations. The state's remaining operational refineries are located in Los Angeles; Richmond, which is near San Francisco, and in Kern County, according to previous reporting by The Center Square. While no one could answer how many barrels of unrefined oil California has left, lawmakers are concerned that the dwindling supply from foreign exporters of oil could cause outright gas shortages. One lawmaker told The Center Square about a concern that the situation in Iran could make California’s gas problems even worse. “We have to acknowledge that there is an international conflict,” Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom, D-Stockton and author of a 2026 bill on E85 fuel, told The Center Square. “It definitely is a security issue, because not being able to access a vital fuel is really a security issue for California. So I’m very concerned about this.” So far, at gas stations on one of the main commercial arteries of California’s highway system, there are no gas shortages yet. “Right now, we don’t have any shortages on that,” Diksha, the gas station manager, told The Center Square on Tuesday. Corporate representatives from large gasoline companies, such as Chevron and 76, did not respond to The Center Square on Tuesday.

2006ko ekainaren 8an aurkeztu ziren lehen grafitoak, latinezkoak gehienak. Handik astebetera, ekainaren 15ean, euskarazkoak. Pozez zoratzen denak. Zera zioen Henrike Knörr-ek aurkezpen mahaitik: “Nik oso iltzatuak ditut momentu haiek, maiatzaren 7an izan nintzen Eliseorekin honetaz solastatzen, eta aitortu behar dut hurrengo egunetan ez nuela ondo lo egin”. Eta Joaquín Gorrochateguik: “Y nuestro objetivo principal era hoy precisamente asegurar a esa comunidad científica que es verdad, que no es un fraude, que han aparecido unas leyendas escritas en alfabeto latino sobre material cerámico básicamente, aunque también hay vidrio y hay huesos, con leyendas en vasco antiguo”. Ezinezkoa da hitz gutxitara ekartzea ondoren gertatu dena. Zertzelada batzuk: “Aditu Batzorde” bat izendatzen du Arabako Aldundiak auzia aztertzeko; honek faltsutzat jotzen ditu grafitoak; Aldundiak auzitegira bidaltzen du Eliseo Gil; laborategi azterketak eskatzen dituzte Lurmenenek eta auzia argitzearen aldeko taldeek; Arabako Foru Aldundiaren uko borobila; Ertzaintzaren ikerketa negargarria; Eliseo Gil hamabi urtez epaiketa zain; epaiketa bidegabea, non epaileak ezin izan zuen ez faltsutasuna eta ez autoretza frogatu; hala ere bi urte eta erdiko kartzela-zigorra Eliseorentzat, bete beharrik izan ez duena bi “delitu” ezberdinengatik omen zirelako; 15.000 euroko isuna Eliseori; defentsaren helegitea Auzitegi Konstituzionalaren aurrean, sei urte igaro arren erantzunik jaso ez duena; aztarnategia EHUko irakasle baten zuzendaritzapean: lehen txikizioa hondeamakina erabiliz: harrezkero beste hiru edo lau egin dituzte. Harrotasunez aldarrikatuko dugu, beste behin ere, piezak laborategi espezializatuen eskutan jarri behar direla eta Lurmeneko arkeologoen delitu bakarra aurkikuntza handi bat egitea izan dela Zorionez, asko izan dira gure herrian bertsio ofiziala irentsi ez eta era antolatuan erantzun dutenak. Eta 20. urteurrena ospatzeko ekitaldia antolatu dugu. Ekainaren 7an izango da aztarnategian bertan. Hasteko, omenaldi xume bat egingo zaie epe horretan hildako zazpi pertsonari, auzia argitzen ekarpenak egindakoei. Henrike Knörr 2008an zendu zen. Euskaltzaina eta EHUko irakaslea. Euskarazko grafitoen aurkezpenean mahaian egon zen eta poz eta emozio handiz aurkeztu zituen. Eta heriotzara arte grafitoen benetakotasuna defenditu zuen sutsu. Jose Luis Alvarez Enparantza “Txillardegi” 2012an hil zen. Oso inportanteak izan ziren bidali zizkigun gutunak. Besteak beste, zera esaten zigun: “Hori guztia ikusita, zalantzarik ez diat: 'grafito' horiek benetakoak dituk. Eta hor sumatzen den euskara euskalki arkaiko bat duk”. Emilio Illarregi Santanderren jaioa zen. 2018an hil zen. Arkeologoa, txostena idatzi zuen Lurmenen praxi arkeologikoa zuzena izan zela defendatuz, eta hitzaldia ere eman zuen horretaz Gasteizen. Iñaki Aldekoak 2021ean utzi gintuen. Ingeniari kimikoa eta politikaria. Biltzarkidea grafitoen auzia pil-pilean zegoen garaian. Froga-fisiko-kimikoak exijitu zizkion bere talde politikoak Arabako Foru Aldundiari. “Yo acuso” izenburuko artikulu gogoangarri bat argitaratu zuen prentsan. Jose Ignacio Vegas Aranburu, arabar arkeologo beteranoa, 2024an zendu zen. Oso gutxi izan ziren Eliseo Gil eta Idoia Filloyren alde agertu ziren arkeologoak, eta horietako bat bera. Izen handiko arkeologoa Araban, haren babesa oso inportantea izan zen Lurmenentzat. Berak grabatu zituen Nuñezek hondeamakinaz 2010ean egin zuen sarraskiaren irudiak. Gontzal Fontaneda 2024an hil zen. Irakasle, euskaltzale eta ekintzaile gasteiztarra. Ezagutu genuenok bere apaltasuna eta eskuzabaltasuna dugu gogoan. Asko lagundu zuen Eliseo eta Idoia babesten eta auzia ezagutarazten Babazorro izeneko blogaren bitartez. Jose Antonio Villar 2026an zendu zen. Soinu-teknikaria eta musikaria, Ez Dok Amairu mugimendu mitikoaren sorreran egon zen. Iruña-Veleia auzira gogo handiz hurbildu zen azken urteetan eta modu askotara lagundu zuen, tartean artikuluak idatziz euskal prentsan. Omenduen familiartekoei oparitxo bana egingo zaie. Omenaldiaren ondoren bisita gidatua. Azkenaldiko sarraskiak ikusi ahal izango ditugu. Nahiko genuke kazetariak eta politikoak ere hurbiltzea beren begiz ikusi dezaten hainbeste aldiz salatu duguna. Eta bukatzeko, herri bazkaria. Urte gogorrak izan diren arren, egun alaia izango da igande hori. Hogei urte daramagu borrokan egiaren alde, eta harrotasunez aldarrikatuko dugu, beste behin ere, piezak laborategi espezializatuen eskutan jarri behar direla eta Lurmeneko arkeologoen delitu bakarra aurkikuntza handi bat egitea izan dela. Han ikusiko dugu elkar. Juan Martin Elexpuru

O estado, conforme dados do Ipea e FBSP, se destaca na Região Norte com 73 homicídios contra os povos originários no ano de 2024. Os crimes são motivados, na maior parte dos casos, pelo avanço do crime organizado e sua expansão para o interior da Amazônia. Facções criminosas, entre elas, o PCC, passaram a disputar territórios tradicionais para controlar economias ilegais, como o garimpo e crimes ambientais. Essa realidade é agravada por conflitos fundiários históricos e pela intensa pressão territorial sobre as terras protegidas.

Sign up for Chalkbeat Tennessee’s free newsletter to keep up with statewide education policy and Memphis-Shelby County Schools.Memphis-Shelby County school board members unanimously approved a $1.7 billion budget on Tuesday that will likely be their last before the state takeover comes into the district. District officials will present their plan for the 2026-2027 school year to the Shelby County Commission tomorrow for approval. This comes as top Republican leaders in Nashville have appointed eight of nine members to a state oversight board that will seize control of final budget decisions for the next four years.It’s unclear whether the state-appointed board members will be able to change the district’s proposed budget. Under the law signed last week by Gov. Bill Lee, the oversight board will be able to block the Shelby County Commission from approving the MSCS annual budget until the oversight board gives its approval. Local board members did not discuss the proposed budget during Tuesday’s meeting. Board Chair Natalie McKinney said the district gave a full presentation two weeks ago at the work session meeting. “And we were able to ask questions at that time,” McKinney said. “So now we are at a point where the administration is asking us to now adopt that.”Though most of the state board has been appointed, it has not yet met, and it’s unclear if it will before the budget gets final approval from the commission and the state education department. MSCS is considering its legal options to challenge the takeover and a companion law that effectively blocks the school board from using district funds to pay for legal action.This year’s proposed annual budget is $200 million less than last year and includes bonuses for teachers who remain in their current positions and those who serve in priority schools, which have the lowest performance rates in the district. It also asks for just short of $200 million for school building repairs, mostly big-ticket items like replacing roofing and HVAC systems. And the budget reflects a cutback on COVID-era support positions that were largely funded by pandemic relief dollars. Bri Hatch covers Memphis-Shelby County Schools for Chalkbeat Tennessee.
