AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 11 PM EDT SUNDAY The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties: Nassau, Suffolk, from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Sunday. Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern. When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician. A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York residents can stay informed on the air quality situation.

Three months after the company filed for bankruptcy, Christmas Tree Shops announced that it's last day of business will be Saturday, August 12, after which they will liquidate their assets and close all 72 remaining stores located throughout 20 states.
 
Until the 12th, Christmas Tree Shops will discount their inventory by up to 80 percent; gift cards and coupons will not be accepted going forward, the retailer said.
 
The move comes after the struggling big-box specialty holiday retail chain was unable to pay its bankruptcy lenders. In May, after its parent company Bed Bath & Beyond went out of business, Christmas Tree Shops filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed ten underperforming stores.
 
However, the company eventually defaulted on a loan and, unable to secure a buyer, was forced to convert to chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.
 
Christmas Tree Shops was started 50 years ago in New England.
