Justices uphold FCC’s easing of local media ownership limits
By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has unanimously upheld federal regulators’ decision to ease ownership limits on local media, rejecting a claim that the change would hurt minority and female ownership. The court ruled Thursday that the Federal Communications Commission acted reasonably in 2017 when it modified rules that predated the internet. The old rules prohibited a single entity from owning a radio or TV station and a daily newspaper in the same media market. They also limited how many radio and TV stations one company could own in a single market and restricted the number of TV stations a company could operate in one media market.
OPEC and allies agree to gradually boost crude oil output
By DAVID McHUGH AP Business Writer
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The OPEC oil cartel and allied countries say they have decided to gradually add back some 2 million barrels per barrel per day of oil production from May to July. They’re moving cautiously in pace with the recovery of the global economy from the COVID-19 pandemic. The group is gingerly adding back production that was slashed last year to support prices as demand sagged during the worst of the pandemic recession, which sapped demand for fuel. The group will add back 350,000 barrels per day in May, 350,000 in June, and 400,000 in July. Meanwhile Saudi Arabia will restore an additional 1 million barrels per day that it made on its own.

Those who struggle with trauma stemming from past or current experiences in domestic disputes usually also struggle with finding a path towards recovery. They may feel that there is a financial burden or several restrictions that could hinder their push towards comfort and safety.
That’s where the Women’s Center Of Beaver County comes into play.
Jodie McGovern, a therapist at the Women’s Center, joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the therapy services that are provided by the Center, which is financially covered under the “umbrella” provided by the government so that those seeking counseling may achieve it without suffering any financial setbacks they may be unable to match.
Just as important as the financial flexibility is the empathic flexibility of the therapists and counselors at the Women’s Center. McGovern spoke about how there are no restrictions on how much trauma one has experienced or how much time they need to recover, nor is there a limit on age or gender for those seeking a starting point towards returning to a safe and comfortable lifestyle.
McGovern also talked about the different types of one-on-one and group therapy provided by the Women’s Center, including evidence-based session types like EMDR and PCIT, to activity-based session types such as music therapy and equine therapy that can allow victims of abuse to regain physiological control of their bodies and their minds.
The Women’s Center Of Beaver County has a 24/7 hotline for contact at (724)-775-0131, and they have further information at their website.
