SCOTIA, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- The latest Consumer Price Index report is good news for the economy, but not everyone is seeing that impact in their wallet. Consumer prices are generally rising slower, at just 3 percent, but daily essentials like food and energy bring core inflation to 4 percent. Get the latest news, weather, sports and more delivered right to your inbox! “That doesn’t mean the prices have come down," Kajal Lahiri, Distinguished Professor of Economics at UAlbany, said. "They’re still way high and it hurts, so that’s why, even if inflation is coming down, consumers are thinking ‘How come it’s still hurting me?’ It’s still hurting because the prices are still high in the prices we pay to buy goods.”Lahiri said it takes time for changing inflation rates to catch up to everyday items.

Jeffrey Foskett was one of those lucky few who ended up living his dream.The San Jose native grew up fascinated with the Beach Boys, and even played in a band that covered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act’s songs in his early 20s, and would go on to spend much of his career singing and playing those legendary Beach Boys songs in front of untold thousands, if not millions, of appreciative fans.The dream came to a close last week when Foskett — who was a hugely important member of both the Beach Boys’ and Brian Wilson’s touring bands over the years — died after a lengthy battle with anaplastic thyroid cancer.He was 67.Foskett will be remembered by fans for his soaring falsetto, which closely resembled what Brian Wilson delivered during his primetime years in the ’60s with the Beach Boys.
