Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same weather. They are called different names in different places.
In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, the term “hurricane” is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.

The Obama administration seeks billions in additional funding to handle the the immigration emergency. Children continue to cross the borer and not all of them survive in 100 degree heat.
For supporters of immigration, it’s a difficult moment to be optimistic. The White House has declared the legislative effort for immigration reform dead, while looking for more than $3 billion to throw at border control.

NYC Health Department launched a new ad campaign today to warn New Yorkers of the harms that excessive drinking can cause themselves and people around them. The ads caution that “Just one more drink can hurt,” and call on New Yorkers to think before ordering that “last drink” in order to prevent their friends from hurting themselves or others. The ads will run in subway cars through September and will be posted in the bathrooms of 97 bars across the city in August and September. The Health Department also issued a new report today outlining the harm from other people’s drinking.
A barking dog can become a nuisance, especially in the early morning hours, or late at night.
Some dogs are allowed to bark a lot, disturbing people who find it annoying. Living in a vibrant state like New York, some noises are part of the urban or community living, but there are also laws that protect people from having to listen to dogs that bark excessively
22 other states have already legalized medical marijuana and now New York joins that list. NY Governor Andrew Cuomo today signed a bill to establish a medical marijuana program. The new law includes provisions to ensure medical marijuana is reserved only for patients with serious conditions and is dispensed and administered in a manner that protects public health and safety.
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free;
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless,
Tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning,
And her name, Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome;
Her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor
That twin cities frame.
