US safety agency to require automatic emergency braking on new vehicles and set tougher standards
"The national highway traffic safety administration wants to require all new passenger cars and light trucks include potentially lifesaving automatic emergency braking and meet stricter safety standards within three years. This is another step toward regulating electronic systems responsible for what drivers usually do on their own. Nets a chief council and Carlson says they want breaks to be effective at much higher speeds. We're also including what we call full collision avoidance. That means that a vehicle has to stop without touching another vehicle in front of it. The systems would allow vehicles to fully avoid other vehicles at up to 50 mph if a driver doesn't react. With this proposal, we could change a high speed crash from a deadly one to a lower speed crash with minor injuries or just property damage. Nietzsche says 90% of new passenger vehicles already include the braking technology. Ed Donahue, Washington.

Sweden close to becoming first 'smoke free' country in Europe as daily use of cigarettes dwindles

No kidding: California overtime law threatens use of grazing goats to prevent wildfires
"And overtime law in California could threaten the use of grazing goats to prevent wildfires. The park supervisor in West Sacramento, Jason Pablo, uses hundreds of goats to munch on long blades of yellow grass in the city. Essentially, mow those down to reduce the fire risk for the upcoming dry season. But new state labor regulations in California are making it more expensive for goat grazing services like Tim Aerosmith's company to operate. We can not fix the current legislation. We will be forced to sell these goats to slaughter and to the option yards. And we'll be forced out of business and probably filed for bankruptcy. Goat herders would be subject to the same labor laws as other farm workers. Hundreds of millions of dollars has been spent on putting out fires, very little has been spent on fire prevention. The changes at goat grazing workers would be entitled to overtime. I'm Ed Donahue.

"Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is hinting about a pause in interest rate hikes. The fed started raising interest rates 14 months ago to try to hold off inflation, speaking at a fed conference in Washington, Powell says interest rates are high enough to restrain borrowing, spending, and economic growth in an attempt to cool inflation. The risks of doing too much versus doing too little are becoming more balanced and our policy has adjusted to reflect that fact. Several fed officials signal support for suspending the rate increases at least at next month's meeting. Powell also noted the collapse of three large banks, which could cause banks to reduce the pace of lending, which could weaken the economy. Ed Donahue Washington
