Your dog can get vaccinated for Lyme. You cannot. Lyme has quickly become one of the most common infectious diseases in America, with many as 300,000 people infected every year. And public health officials fear the bacterial infection, which jumps from ticks to humans, will only spread farther and faster as climate change makes more parts of the US habitable for ticks. Lyme can be treated with antibiotics, and there are many ways to prevent tick bites. But there's no vaccine available if you want extra protection against the disease   unless you're a dog . Yet in the late 1990s and early 2000s, a vaccine called LYMErix was sold to prevent between 76 and 92 percent of infections . Hundreds of thousands of people got it   until vaccine fear knocked it off the market. A new Lyme vaccine for humans is currently being developed in France . But LYMErix is unlikely to ever make a return to the market, even though its patent has run out and it could be manufactured as a generic. Why? It's too plagued by a bad history. A manufacturer would "have to do a huge amount of marketing to make the vaccine seem acceptable," says Alan Barbour, a UC Irvine scientist who helped discover the cause of Lyme disease and is a co-inventor on the LYMErix patent. The LYMErix story is worth retelling today. It's a stark reminder of how anti-vaccine mania of the past few decades is leaving us all more susceptible to disease. The Lyme vaccine was effective Lyme first appeared in the US seemingly out of nowhere, spreading between ticks and people in Connecticut. By the 1990s, it was possible to be infected with Lyme from a tick bite in much of the northeastern US, and there were around 15,000 confirmed cases a year. (Today, there are more than 35,000 confirmed or probable cases of Lyme each year and many more cases that go unreported.) The number of Lyme cases continues to climb. These are just the probable and confirmed cases. There could be as many as 300,000 cases that go unreported each year. Recognizing the increasing public health hazard, the drug manufacturer SmithKline Beecham (now called GlaxoSmithKline) developed a vaccine that targeted the outer protein of the bacteria that causes Lyme. The Food and Drug Administration approved it in 1998. The vaccine worked by targeting the bacteria while it was still inside the tick's body, the website History of Vaccines explains . The bacteria would be neutralized before the tick had the chance to transfer the bacteria into the human body. LYMErix wasn't a perfect vaccine, as Gregory Poland, a Mayo Clinic vaccine researcher, explained in a 2011 retrospective in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. It required three doses over the course of a year and was not approved for people under age 15. It was optional, and doctors had a hard time assessing whom to recommend it to (there were few maps of Lyme-carrying ticks' range at the time). And the vaccine only protected against the North American strain of Lyme. Also, because Lyme is not spread human to human but from tick to human, it has limited power to stop the spread of Lyme disease-carrying ticks. Finally, it was somewhat expensive at $50 a dose, and it was not universally covered by health insurance. But it was effective, preventing Lyme in up to 90 percent of the people who were vaccinated will all three doses, with few side effects. And at first, the vaccine was pretty popular; about 1.5 million doses were injected before 2000. LYMErix debuted near the beginning of anti-vaccine mania LYMErix had the misfortune of being approved the same year some people were becoming suspicious of vaccines in the United States. In 1998, the journal Lancet published a now-retracted study that (falsely) claimed the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) was linked to autism, and the modern anti-vax movement was born. At the same time, a few members of the FDA panel that approved LYMErix had voiced a theoretical concern that the drug could cause an autoimmune reaction leading to arthritis. The idea was that as the immune system learned to attack the protein that covered the Lyme bacteria, it could overreact and start to attack healthy tissue in the body. This side effect didn't occur in the clinical trial. It was listed as a hypothetical possibility. The FDA panel eventually unanimously approved the drug, but the fear of an autoimmune reaction trickled down to the public. What happened next was a perfect storm to drive the product from the market. A 2000 study found the vaccine contributed to autoimmune arthritis in hamsters. Other research posited (but didn't prove) that it was possible some people were more genetically predisposed to develop this type of autoimmune response in reaction to the vaccine. Sure enough, some LYMErix recipients soon began to complain publicly that the drug was causing them to develop joint pain. National news media reported on the concerns, casting them in a harrowing light. In 2000, ABCNews told the story of a man who fell ill with a "fever and an intense, hellish pain" after taking the vaccine. Patients sued the manufacturer in a class-action lawsuit (which was eventually settled after the vaccine was pulled from the market). The FDA looked into the claims but never found a connection between the vaccine and arthritis. By 2001, 1.4 million doses of the vaccine had been distributed, but the FDA's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System only picked up on 59 reports of arthritis. "The arthritis incidence in the patients receiving Lyme vaccine occurred at the same rate as the background in unvaccinated individuals," a 2007 paper in Epidemiology and Infection explains . Overall, FDA's VAERS only picked up on 905 reports of any adverse side effects at all   a tiny fraction of the number of people who had gotten the shots. The vaccine was pulled from the market, despite evidence finding it was safe But it was too late. Already, there was "significant media coverage, sensationalism, the development of anti-Lyme vaccine groups ... who urged withdrawal of the vaccine from the market," Poland explained in his 2011 article. A class-action lawsuit targeted SmithKline Beecham, claiming the company did not do enough to warn people of potential autoimmune side effects. The FDA continued to follow up with an additional drug safety trial to try to settle the matter for the public. The trial was supposed to last four years. But sales of LYMErix had plummeted "from about 1.5 million doses in 1999 to a projected 10,000 doses in 2002," the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases explains on its website. Falling sales, combined with the mounting lawsuits from patients, led the manufacturer to pull it from the market, although early data from the additional safety trial found "no differences in any significant adverse reactions noted between control subjects and vaccinated persons," Poland writes. Concerning side effects sometimes do emerge after a drug comes on the market . But you need hard data to establish them. And the FDA's investigations into LYMErix never found any evidence of autoimmune side effects. "Although studies never adequately substantiated the safety concerns associated with LYMErix," the Epidemiology and Infection article states, "the decline in public tolerance for risk and uncertainty combined with the relatively low morbidity of Lyme disease contributed to the inability of the vaccine to find a market niche." In the 2000s, Lyme still didn't infect that many people, and the public was more concerned about the Lyme vaccine than the disease itself. But now infections rates are rising and we're left without a crucial tool to stop its spread. Where are we now? As Julia Belluz reported at Vox , Lyme cases doubled since 1991, spread by an increased number of infected ticks. It's now the most common vector-borne (meaning transmitted by an insect or animal) disease in the United States. And climate change seems to be partly to blame: As temperatures warm, a greater proportion of the US becomes hospitable to the ticks. Overall, vector-spread diseases like chikungunya, Zika, and West Nile are spreading faster than ever. Video: Lyme disease on the rise: What to do if you get a tick bite (USA Today) "A safe and effective Lyme vaccine is desperately needed," Lise Nigrovic, a pediatric Lyme disease researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, says in an email. Yet if you wanted to protect yourself with a Lyme disease vaccine , you couldn't get one. As Belluz explained, prevention efforts currently focus on avoiding tick bites. That means covering up exposed skin when spending time in wooded areas, using insect repellent, and checking your body for ticks (and removing them) after you've spent time outdoors in tick-laden areas. WBUR in Boston reports there have been some small efforts to revive LYMErix (its patent has now expired), but the pharmaceutical industry has lost interest in it, and grassroots efforts have gone unfunded. The Lyme vaccine for dogs works in a similar manner to LYMErix. But while it does help control the spread of the disease, it doesn't make up for the lack of a vaccine in humans. The loss of LYMErix represents the "loss of a powerful tool for Lyme disease prevention," the authors of the Epidemiology and Infection article state. For many people who are infected, symptoms last months and can lead to painful arthritis, heart problems, and nerve pain. Though Lyme is treatable, it needs to be diagnosed early for people to avoid its worst effects. A vaccine would provide a greater margin of error if a tick bite goes unnoticed. It could be particularly useful for people who work outside in tick-laden areas, or for residents in communities with a high prevalence of Lyme. Unscientific anti-vaccine movements leave us all more unsafe down the line. We see examples of this in the news all the time. Diseases long controlled by vaccines, like measles , are now starting to pop back up in concerning numbers. In Japan, vaccination rates for HPV vaccine plummeted in recent year due to fearmongering . Vaccines can be a hard sell because people need to take them when they're healthy, and no vaccine has zero risk of side effects. But when we take a vaccine, we're not just protecting ourselves   we're protecting those around us, and ensuring a less infected future. The LYMErix vaccine was optional, and anti-vaccine fears have left millions without the option to take it at all. But even if the US doesn't get a new Lyme vaccine, there still might be ways to stop the spread of the disease. "The new approach is to focus in on the carriers," like wild mice, which transmit the disease, Barbour says. "It's like what they do for rabies ... the real way we prevent rabies is vaccinating raccoons, coyotes, skunks, things like that." Researchers have been developing a Lyme vaccine for mice that can be administered via food. And a French company is developing a new Lyme vaccine for humans. It would protect against the different strains of Lyme that circulate worldwide, but it's still undergoing testing. It has completed Phase 1 safety trials, but now its effectiveness needs to be tested. It could be many years before it arrives on the market. And then who knows how many people will want to use it. We can't count on having a vaccine anytime soon. But we can count on more ticks coming our way. Correction: A previous version of this article misstated that cases of Lyme disease tripled between 2004 and 2016. Rather, all illnesses spread by mosquitos, ticks, and fleas tripled in that time period, according to the CDC. Lyme cases have doubled since 1991. Gallery: 12 worst states for Lyme disease (24/7)


The Tennessee Titans lost a prominent coach earlier this year in former offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur. In January, LaFleur accepted a promotion by way of a head coaching job with the Green Bay Packers. To fill the void, the Titans promoted tight ends coach Arthur Smith to fill his position and help maintain a sense of continuity in Nashville. The move looks to be a good one for the future of Tennessee's offense at this point, but what about the situation in Green Bay? Given quarterback Aaron Rodgers' apparently shady history with others in the past, some say that LaFleur is in a risky situation that could easily go south in no time at all. But according to the Touchdown Wire's Barry Werner, the acquisition of LaFleur by the Packers makes the list of 16 critical additions for the 2019 season. Here's what he had to say. "Matt LaFleur needs to make things work with Aaron Rodgers," he wrote. "They two must have chemistry and find a way to bring the best out of the Green Bay offense. Rodgers is wonderful. LaFleur needs to realize it and make use of all of the quarterback's greatness and not let the opportunity to be a head coach - see, ego - get in his way." LaFleur will have his first chance to prove himself as the team's head coach when the Packers take on the Houston Texans on Aug. 8 at Lambeau Field.

The Seattle Seahawks got a bit of good news on Wednesday, with a report by NFL insider Tom Pelissero indicating defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) will be on the active roster at the start of training camp. This is in line with what Pete Carroll said back in June when he noted Ansah's shoulder was healed but that the team doesn't have any plans to rush him back. #Seahawks DE Ezekiel Ansah will be on the active roster to start training camp, source said. Expect limited work early as he continues to rebuild strength in his shoulder. They knew that'd take time when they guaranteed him $6 million. All about having him ready for the season. - Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 24, 2019 The Seahawks signed the 30-year-old pass rusher after a successful six-year run with the Lions. Ansah racked up 48.0 sacks and 110 quarterback hits while in the Motor City, although injuries hampered him considerably in 2018 when he only suited up in seven contests. Ansah is expected to be fully healthy by the start of the regular season, and his presence will be crucial for a Seahawks defense that lost Frank Clark and will be without Jarran Reed for the first six games of the season following his suspension.

The Pirates have designated outfielder JB Shuck for assignment, the team announced. Shuck's 25-man roster spot will go to reliever Dovydas Neverauskas , whom the Pirates recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. Despite having to settle for a minor-league deal over the winter, Shuck cracked the Pirates' injury-laden outfield to open the season. While the 31-year-old got off to a nice start, evidenced by his season-best .864 OPS on April 14, his numbers have cratered in recent weeks. Shuck did get on base at a .339 clip and walked in 14 percent of his 57 plate appearances before Pittsburgh designated him, but he hit just .213 and showed no power (zero home runs, .043 ISO, .255 slugging percentage) along the way. Including his stint with the Pirates, the light-hitting Shuck has managed a .243/.296/.314 line in 1,289 major-league plate appearances with several teams. Shuck has been a much better Triple-A performer, on the other hand, with a .299/.373/.393 showing in 3,610 PAs.

Not to disrespect Thailand and Chile, but things would have to go really, catastrophically wrong. Four years ago the United States got a bit unlucky with its World Cup draw. It had to go through three very solid teams and had no time to ease into the tournament. But in this edition of the women's World Cup , the USWNT got the absolute luckiest draw it could have possibly hoped for. Its first two opponents, Thailand and Chile, are ranked 34th and 39th, respectively, by FIFA. They're two of the weakest teams at the World Cup, and would have both been picked to finish last in just about any other group had they not been drawn together. The USWNT beat Chile 3-0 and 4-0 in a pair of friendlies last year, and has not lost to a team outside the top 15 during Jill Ellis' tenure. The Americans play Thailand on Tuesday, then Chile on Sunday. Things finally get spicy for the USWNT on June 20, when it plays Sweden. It would be shocking if both teams didn't have six points and a large goal differential going into that match. So is there anything to keep an eye on in USWNT vs. Thailand? Uhhhh... no, not really. More likely than not, this game will provide no indication of what players might be the Americans' best performers at the World Cup, nor should it reveal any problems. The USWNT should be able to play poorly and still win by multiple goals. And even a 10-goal win isn't an indication that the USWNT is going to score a lot against Sweden. Sounds a bit arrogant, typical American Yeah, I know. And if the results that Italy and Argentina were able to pull off against Australia and Japan are any indication, the middle-tier teams are getting a lot better. But Thailand has lost 11 of its last 12 matches, and the USWNT simply doesn't screw up games like this. If Thailand (or Chile) beats the USWNT, it's a bigger upset than Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson or 1980 USA men's hockey vs. USSR. If Thailand avoids defeat, you can appreciate that you got to see the best sporting upset of your lifetime. Tobin Heath is gonna nutmeg some fools tho, right? Hell yeah.


Pride these days is synonymous with rainbow-saturated celebrations of the LGBTQ community. It's easy to forget its solemn origins as a march that commemorated clashes between police and protesters outside a New York gay bar, the Stonewall Inn. The media coverage of what is now called the Stonewall riots reflected the era's homophobic attitudes. In the late 1960s, it was still illegal in most states to be gay, not a single law protected gay people from discrimination and there were no openly gay politicians or pop culture icons. In reality, Stonewall galvanized a generation of activists into forming a mass civil rights movement. But many of those people are no longer around to tell us their story of what happened. To nail down what we know, CNN spoke to three people. David Carter spent 10 years researching and interviewing witnesses for " Stonewall: The Riots That Sparked the Gay Revolution ." Eric Marcus is the creator of the " Making Gay History " podcast, which includes interviews with the late Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, pioneering transgender activists. Robert Bryan joined the crowd outside the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969, when a police raid took an unexpected turn. Here's what they had to say. What was the Stonewall Inn? The Stonewall Inn opened as a gay club in 1967 in the heart of Manhattan's bohemian Greenwich Village neighborhood . Despite progressive winds sweeping the nation, New York was notorious for its strict enforcement of anti-homosexual laws that made it risky for gay people to congregate in public, let alone at a bar. The Mafia stepped in to reap the benefits. To get around state regulations that prohibited gay people from being served alcoholic beverages, mafioso "Fat Tony" Lauria operated the Stonewall Inn as a private club, taking its name from the previous bar-restaurant so he wouldn't have to change the sign. Photos: 50 years ago, Pride was born. This is what it looked like Stonewall was not the only gay bar in Greenwich Village and it wasn't the nicest. It had no running water and its windows were boarded so no one could see inside. The drinks were watered down and overpriced. But none of that mattered to patrons because it was one of the few places where they could dance. Robert Bryan moved to New York in 1968 for the "dancing and cute boys" at Stonewall. He says most of the clientele was like him: gay, white and cisgender. Transgender people were occasional customers, but in that era, they self-identified as drag queens or transvestites, not transgender. And they rarely dressed in full garb, mindful not just of street harassment, but of a law that forbade wearing more than three pieces of clothing associated with the opposite sex. "At first it was just a gay men's bar. And they didn't allow no women in. And then they started allowing women in. And then they let the drag queens in," Johnson said in an interview in 1979 with Marcus . Because it served gay customers, police raids were common. Management typically bribed police to tip them off in advance so they could turn on the lights and interrupt dancing, which could risk arrest. But there was no tip the night of the raid that launched the six-day uprising. How did the riots start? By the late 1960s, the gay rights movement was building momentum across the United States. Local chapters of the Mattachine Society , which started in 1950, provided a community for gay men and forums for public discourse. The Daughters of Bilitis , started in 1955, offered a similar support network for lesbians. Before the Stonewall riots, members of the LGBTQ community clashed with police at Cooper's Donuts and the Black Cat tavern in Los Angeles; San Francisco's Compton's Cafeteria ; and at Dewey's restaurant in Philadelphia , among other skirmishes. They staged pickets in Washington to protest the exclusion of homosexuals from military service, and gathered in Philadelphia each year on July 4 for " annual reminders " demanding legal protections. Mattachine-New York helped end policies permitting police entrapment . But police raids of bars and bathhouses continued, and a spate of violent homophobic attacks put the LGBTQ community on edge. On Tuesday, June 24, police raided the Stonewall, rankling patrons who were tired of being harassed. But Deputy Inspector Seymour Pine , commander of the New York Police Department's vice squad, would not back down. He returned the following Friday with plans to tear up the bar and slap the owners with enough infractions to shut it down for good. Almost immediately, police encountered resistance, Pine later told Carter. Shortly after midnight, Bryan said he was walking down Christopher Street with a friend when a young man came running. "They're raiding the Stonewall," he announced. He joined a crowd gathering across the street in a small plaza. As officers wrestled with a "butch lesbian" who was resisting arrest, Bryan said the crowd threw anything they could get their hands on   coins, bricks, bottles. Police chased rioters through Greenwich Village's streets while Bryan observed a "chorus line" form in front of officers and start chanting. Carter and Marcus said pictures from the first night show a "rainbow of kids," seemingly street kids and homeless LGBTQ youth, who were likely the main instigators. What kept the riots going? Word of the riots spread across the city the next morning. The first night drew 500 to 600 people, but an estimated 2,000 showed up outside the bar on Saturday night. Members of the crowd held hands in bold displays of public affection. They chanted "gay power," "we want freedom now" and "Christopher Street belongs to the queens." To block off Christopher Street, they formed a human chain and turned over a car, attracting riot police that led to more clashes. Amid the melee, a crowd swarmed a taxi and the driver had a heart attack, the only death over six nights. The next three nights were relatively quiet, likely because people had work the next day. By Wednesday, protesters were back -- inflamed by media coverage of "gay cheerleaders" and "Sunday f-- follies." News of the clashes had also spread to other leftist groups, who saw an opportunity to align themselves with the insurgent movement. Overall, 21 people were arrested -- most of them on the first night -- and many police and rioters were injured. But a spark was ignited. Slideshow by Stacker What happened next? The energy from the uprising manifested within weeks. Weeks later, Mattachine-New York led a "gay power" march from Washington Square Park to Stonewall that drew hundreds of people. Other Stonewall veterans favored more radical action. A new group that included former Mattachines and feminists anointed themselves the Gay Liberation Front . They held dances to raise money to show they didn't need the Mafia for entertainment. The proceeds funded an underground newspaper, a bail fund for members and lunches for the poor. They questioned mayoral candidates at forums about their views on homosexuality. The group began to unravel within months. But from its ashes another group formed, the Gay Activist Alliance , which would focus exclusively on gay and lesbian issues. Meanwhile, activist Craig Rodwell and his friends came up with another way to harness the energy from Stonewall. He proposed moving the annual July 4 reminder in Philadelphia to New York for the riots' anniversary. On June 28, 1970, Rodwell and thousands of people returned to Greenwich Village for the first Christoper Street Liberation Day march . It became an annual event and evolved into the Pride parade, which is marked every year in New York and other cities across the world. "There were no floats, no music, no boys in briefs. The cops turned their backs on us to convey their disdain, but the masses of people kept carrying signs and banners, chanting and waving to surprised onlookers," Rodwell's partner, Fred Sargent, said of the first march . "It was only after the march that these gay pioneers realized what might be possible."


Duke has officially become the latest FBS team to see a visit from the injury bug since camp started. The football program announced Friday afternoon that Jake Bobo underwent surgery earlier in the day to repair a fractured right clavicle. The wide receiver suffered the injury during Thursday's practice. As for a return to the playing field, the team stated only that the sophomore will be sidelined indefinitely. Bobo was a three-star member of the Blue Devils' 2018 recruiting class. As a true freshman this past season, the Massachusetts native totaled 167 yards and a touchdown on 10 receptions. Throughout the offseason and on into summer camp, Bobo had been running with the first-team offense.

Women reach their peak earning potential some 11 years before men and earn a salary almost $35,000 lower than their male counterparts, a new study has found . The report, conducted by salary site PayScale, found that the typical university-educated woman in the United States sees her career earnings peak when she is 44 years old, earning an average of $66,700. That compares to men who achieve their earnings peak at the age of 55   11 years later   with a median of $101,200. The findings, which are based on the median earnings of 1.4 million people who took PayScale's salary survey from 2016 to 2019, come as another reminder of the gender pay gap which has dominated public discourse over recent years. The gender pay gap is the average difference between the remuneration of working men and women, and the latest PayScale report potentially signals a worsening of the issue. A growing issue When compared to PayScale's previous 2012 study, the new report indicates that although the median peak earning ages have risen for both women and men   to 39 years and 48 years, respectively   the overall gap has widened. It would now take women another two years to catch up with men's peak earnings compared to 2012. The disparity rang true across all 22 major occupations studied, but it was most pronounced in the legal field, the report found. There, women reach their peak earnings at the age of 35, with a median salary of $75,000. Men, meanwhile, go on to earn more until the age of 56, when they reach a high of $168,800. Health care, sales, life sciences and management were among the other fields to record significant disparities in peak earnings between men and women. Getting to the root Among the root causes for the gap noted by PayScale was the disparity between starting salaries for men and women, and the time typically spent out of the workplace by women when starting a family. More than $12,000 stands between the median starting salary for a 22-year-old woman and her male counterpart   a gap which extends over time. For women of color, that gap between white males' earnings is even greater, starting at $13,000 and rising to $40,100 at their peak. The report, which comes as part of PayScale's ongoing research into the gender pay gap, said the findings highlight the continued significance of the issue and the work that remains to be done, particularly given that women typically have a longer life expectancy. "Our insights on when wages peak for men and women, broken down by occupation and racial/ethnic group, highlights how complex the gender pay gap is," the report noted. "Unless policies are designed with all people in mind, pay gaps will not only persist, but can actually worsen," it added.

There was a time - not so long ago - when LaVar Ball's Big Baller Brand tried to make a splash in the basketball shoe game with the ridiculously expensive ZO2 sneakers . Lonzo had turned down stable and lucrative offers from Nike and Adidas to promote the family brand. And everything that could have gone wrong for Big Baller Brand in the two years since has indeed gone wrong. The Triple-Bs struggled with sales at that price point (shocking, I know), couldn't honor orders in a timely and accurate manner and ultimately received a failing grade from the Better Business Bureau . When the Ball brothers distanced themselves from Big Baller Brand in response to Alan Foster's alleged multimillion-dollar embezzlement scheme, the brand appeared to be dead . Now, it REALLY looks dead. Big Baller Brand went from selling $50 t shirts to selling them for $5 at local volleyball tournaments pic.twitter.com/PBdyH1BSFW - LA Sports Radio (@LASportsRadio) July 14, 2019 Photos hit Twitter over the weekend of a depressing-looking Big Baller Brand clearance sale at a volleyball tournament. Big Baller Brand once charged $50 for its T-shirts, and those prices were slashed to $5 at the pop-up shop. Hoodies and hats were also available for under $20, and BBB was offering a $100 bundle that included shoes previously priced at $400. That doesn't look good for the state of Big Baller Brand. While the company's life has been teased in recent weeks - with a new LaMelo Ball shoe - the company's site has been down and under construction for months. Those expensive Big Baller Brand camps in Europe and Qatar that were supposed to feature the entire Ball family were canceled. At this point, there's no conceivable way Big Baller Brand could come back and succeed. This clearance sale is basically acknowledging that reality.

The Denver Broncos announced their 2019 training camp schedule Tuesday, a schedule that includes 19 practices free and open to the public. The practice that all fans should circle on their calendars will be held on Saturday, July 27. That practice will take place at Broncos Stadium at Mile High, marking the first time the team has held a stadium scrimmage since 2014. Practicing at the stadium provides a fun experience (and more room) for fans and gives the players a game-like scrimmage atmosphere. "I think we saw some good things," former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning said after their 2014 practice at the team's stadium. "We will see some good things on film. It's always nice to get a game-like operation. "We get everybody on the sidelines, you are out there just with 10 other guys communicating, working some no-call situations, some run plays, pass plays. I think we will get some good knowledge from the film as well." The stadium practice will take place from 2:15-4:15 p.m. and seating will be available on a first come, first served basis. Parking will also be free - more information on when the parking lots and gates open will be announced at a later time. To view the team's complete training camp schedule, click here .

No one wants to see overtime in the preseason. On Friday night, the Buccaneers and Steelers nearly did. Trailing late in the fourth quarter by eight points, the Bucs drove the length of the field, and they scored a touchdown. With only 10 seconds left and trailing by two, Tampa coach Bruce Arians called for a play that, if successful, would have tied the game and forced the two teams to keep playing. Fortunately for everyone, the play failed. "No, I didn't want to go to overtime," Arians told reporters after the game. "But I would like to run that play better. I would like to have seen it executed better." But if it had been executed better, the final score at the end of regulation would have been, barring a kickoff return for a touchdown by the Steelers or a last-snap miracle, 30-30. And the exhibition contest would have been extended, creating more reps for players and greater risk of injury. Yes, ties stink. But in the preseason, where the final score matters only to those who have gambling problem, a tie at the end of regulation doesn't need to be resolved by extending the game beyond 60 minutes. Of all the rules changes that the NFL could make in any given year, this is one that has been overdue for decades. Of course, it won't happen until a preseason game goes to overtime and one of the players tears an ACL during the extra period.


The Texans bungled their way through the firing of G.M. Brian Gaine and a failed effort to hire Patriots V.P. of player personnel Nick Caserio as the replacement. So they're proceeding with a General Manager   presumably until they can hire Caserio. Or maybe they won't, if things go the way owner Cal McNair believes they will. In an interview with KILT in Houston, the team's flagship radio station, McNair described the G.M.-free front office as part of a "flatter organization with a faster management style," via Sports Business Daily . "The organization is totally re-energized with a team-based approach and new leadership based on sub programs with each sub program being fully optimized as a goal." McNair defended the decision to have no General Manager, a move that has been criticized for the lack of centralization and coordination needed to get things done. "It's kind of funny I've heard on the radio that people are worried about how will people know who to contact for how to make a trade," McNair said. "I promise you people will know who to contact to make a trade. And they have in the past, they've called different guys in our organization. Someone will get called, if there's an interest. We'll handle that call. We'll have a meeting to talk about extensions. We'll get together as a group. We'll make a plan and then we'll go execute the plan. You'll see that this year." Maybe we'll see it, maybe we won't. But the fact that: (1) it's unconventional; and (2) it's an obvious Plan B given the failure to get Caserio, there's reason to be skeptical. And to the credit of KILT, which has a business relationship with the Texans, one of the on-air hosts was willing to be openly skeptical of McNair's performance. "He thinks he's putting a nice little bow on this whole management structure that the Texans have," Matt Jarecki said Monday night, before ripping McNair's corporate-speak. "Did anybody understand a word Cal McNair just said? . . . I had to listen to this thing 20 times in a row to figure out what he meant. . . And, by the way, you can tell he's reading this thing off a note card . . . . It's classic P.R. String together a statement that means nothing." And here's an interesting little P.S. to the McNair interview. Go to the KILT website and try to find a link to the full interview. Maybe I'm missing it (and there's a chance I am), but I can't find it. If it was an interview of which the Texans were proud, no one should have to look for it. It should smack the visitor in the face the moment the SportsRadio610.com home page loads.


Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has a new teammate, but it's one he's literally known his whole life. The Bucks have reportedly signed the reigning NBA MVP's 26-year-old brother, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, to a two-year league-minimum contract, according to multiple reports . The elder Antetokounmpo has some NBA experience, albeit he played just two games with the Knicks after being selected No. 51 overall in the 2014 NBA Draft. The 6-7 forward has also played in the NBA G League   where he earned Defensive Second Team honors   and the Greek League, where he was a two-time All-Star. Why sign a player with such limited NBA experience? According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Giannis and Thanasis are "incredibly close." "More than roster fit, Thanasis' addition could be geared toward keeping Giannis happy," the paper notes.

Crews recovered the body of a pilot and the plane they were in two days after the aircraft crashed into Lake Tulloch in Calaveras County, officials said. The plane was found around noon Monday about 110 feet underwater, the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office said. By Tuesday afternoon, crews were able to recover the plane. The pilot's body was found inside. The pilot was identified as Trent Johnson by family friend Bill Zoslocki on Wednesday. "Trent Johnson had a passion for flying. Since he was a little boy he dreamed of flying, eventually getting his pilot's license, and marrying into a family who also loved to fly," Zoslocki said in a statement. "Trent died on Sunday, Father's Day, while doing something that gave him such great joy." Johnson is survived by his wife Sarah Mesenhimer-Johnson and their three sons. "Our three boys and I are deeply grieving," Mesenhimer-Johnson said in a statement released Wednesday. "Right now, we are dealing with a sudden and yet repeated tragedy. Never would we have imagined that the boys' beloved father would be taken from us 13 years after their grandfather -- my dad -- died in the same manner." A witness told authorities that the plane hit the power lines about 11:45 a.m. Sunday and went into the lake nose-first near the Poker Flat area and sank, said the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office, one of several agencies that responded to the crash. The pilot was the only person aboard the plane when it went down, the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office said. For 24 hours, crews used an underwater remote-operated vehicle, sonar and dive teams to search for the yellow, single-engine plane's wreckage, authorities said. The plane was found Monday. Due to the plane's depth, officials requested additional resources to recover it from the lake. No other details were released.

Warren Buffett sure does love his unhealthy condiments. On Wednesday, the billionaire investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway announced that he was teaming up with 3G Capital again to provide equity financing for a major packaged food deal. Kraft , the maker of dinner favorite Macaroni & Cheese, as well as condiments Cool Whip and Philadelphia cream cheese, will be merged with a prior 3G Capital/Buffett investment in ketchup maker Heinz in a $10 billion transaction . "This is my kind of transaction, uniting two world-class organizations and delivering shareholder value," Buffett said in a statement . Investors who may have been bidding up shares of packaged food companies Kellogg and Campbell Soup in the hopes of an overture by Buffett may want to revisit their thesis in light of the Kraft merger. Shares of Campbell Soup and Kellogg have gained 6.5% and 2.2%, respectively, in the past six months, despite major struggles in their largest businesses. That Buffett continues to back firms such as Kraft and Heinz, which tend to sell items that have to be constantly replenished by households, rather than cereal and soup, speaks to several fundamental shifts in Americans' eating habits. One is that people continue to grab snack bars or ready-to-eat cereal from brands owned by General Mills or PepsiCo before hurrying off to work, instead of sitting down and eating a bowl of Kellogg cereal. According to Euromonitor, U.S. breakfast cereal sales are projected to decline by 8% to $10.3 billion by 2018. Kellogg's U.S. morning foods segment posted a 7.7% sales decline in the fourth quarter, and a 5.7% drop for all of 2014. The business represents about 23% of Kellogg's annual sales. As for Campbell Soup, its once formidable market share in soup has been eroded over the years as it has unsuccessfully tried to make soup a year-round business and make it easier to eat at work with new packaging. Consumer perceptions that soup has large amounts of sodium have dented demand. Campbell Soup's core business could suffer another hit soon, as General Mills is preparing to roll out a line of organic soups this summer from its Annie's brand, which it acquired last year for close to $900 million. Euromonitor estimates that U.S. soup sales will fall by 2% by 2018. Campbell's U.S. soup sales fell 6% in the most recent quarter, reflecting 11% declines in sales of condensed soups and a 4% fall in broth. Meanwhile, Buffett's growing packaged food empire may hint at one welcome development down the line for U.S. consumers: lower prices on their condiments and other packaged foods. To extract minimum value from the merger of Heinz and Kraft, Buffett and 3G Capital are likely to combine vast marketing teams and the people responsible for dealing with major retailers such as Wal-Mart , Target and Kroger . As 3G Capital and Buffett consolidate their operations and reduce costs, they could pass along some of those savings to retailers, who in turn could reduce prices. Kraft gets about 42% of its revenue from its top five customers, with Wal-Mart alone accounting for 26% of Kraft's sales. Heinz, in its last annual report before going public in 2013, noted it relies on Wal-Mart for 10% of its sales. Wal-Mart declined to comment on its supplier arrangements. Target did not respond to an email seeking comment.


MONTERREY, Mexico   A roar erupted when José Altuve departed the batting cage. The throng of people crowded five or six deep behind home plate grew greater, grown men falling over stadium railings and children cradling memorabilia for any autograph they could muster. Altuve started toward the crowd. Each step was accompanied by louder cheers, one from the people he approached and another from across the dugout, where a group of women and children teamed to start an "Al-tu-ve" chant. "I think as a Latin player I've enjoyed this probably more than any other," Altuve said Sunday. The Astros deployed a Sunday starting lineup with five Latin players. One is a former American League MVP and the other a Rookie of the Year. Héctor Rondón and Roberto Osuna are high leverage relievers in their bullpen. Of the four teams that participated in the Mexico Series this season, the Astros are unquestionably the main attraction, carrying recognizable Latinos who double as heroes for those in other countries who can infrequently get a glimpse on television. Yet these were the franchise's first two regular season games on Latin soil in more than a decade. Houston played two exhibition series in Mexico City in 2004 and 2016. Scrimmages in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela occurred during the early 2000s, too. "It would be great to visit other Latin countries," said Correa, a Puerto Rican. "They love baseball in the Dominican Republic, obviously Puerto Rico   MLB has been there before   but it would be good to bring it once a year. Latin countries are passionate about this sport, so I think they would really appreciate if MLB could bring games more often." "We have a lot of Latin players here and we would love to visit our home countries and play in front of our home fans, it would be something special." Eight Latinos are spread across the Astros' normal 25-man roster, representing Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Political unrest in Venezuela, home for Altuve, Rondon and Robinson Chirinos, cast somewhat a somber mark on what many Latin Astros called a "surreal experience." "You can feel the atmosphere, it makes me feel like I'm home, even when I'm not," Altuve said. "I'm ready to go anywhere I can, play in every single Latin country all over the world. I would like to help MLB promote baseball all over the world because this is the most beautiful sport anybody can play." Correa spent most of Sunday's pregame posing for photographs and signing an endless round of autographs. The crowd hung on their every move. Each time either man took a step or turned his head, a cheer or chant began. Before Saturday's game, Altuve autographed an item for a boy. After he did, the child began to cry in incredulity. After that game was over, a youngster ran onto the field unsupervised. He bolted toward Altuve at second base, who hugged the child before bringing the entire team together to pose for a photograph. "It's amazing how you can help kids that way," Altuve said. That kind of like woke me up and gave me more responsibility about the way I go out to play because now you know you have kids that want to be like you   not only like me but Carlos, like (Josh) Reddick, like (George) Springer. We have to lead by example and be good guys off the field." Osuna, the team's only Mexican, signed along the third-base line for more than 10 minutes. Gerrit Cole was crushed by an adoring mob, taking selfies at will with the crowd. Alex Bregman, who spoke in Spanish during Saturday's postgame news conference, was a wildly popular figure. "The more that we can be involved and active in all the different countries the better," said Astros manager A.J. Hinch, who was in Monterrey for the first time since he played as a collegian in 1992. "I think it's better for baseball, better for our players and ultimately it's better for the fans because of the connectivity we can provide as a team to so many different baseball fans."

A NASCAR executive countered criticism that it was hard to pass in Monday's Cup race at Dover and rebuked a team owner's complaints on social media. Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, responded to Kyle Busch's criticism of the package at Dover by saying Tuesday on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that "these are the best drivers in the world, and it's going to be hard to pass." O'Donnell had his sharpest rebuke for Bob Leavine, owner of Leavine Family Racing. Leavine stated on Twitter that he seconded Busch's comments that "this package sucks." Leavine also responded to questions about the racing on Twitter after the race and Tuesday morning. Bill @Billsmi61592979 there were three or four cars that were dominant. Even they had difficulty passing. But you also heard many drivers say it took us 40 laps to pass a car that was 4 tenths slower . Cars better than us and cars not as good as us. https://t.co/kvjvGeYgcB   Bob Leavine (@BLeavine) May 7, 2019 O'Donnell told "The Morning Drive" that Levine could have voiced his displeasure another way. "We certainly talk to everybody," O'Donnell said. "It's unfortunate, especially when a team owner does social media, I don't think that's the right way to do it at all. It's a choice that was made. We're available every race. We go out there and talk to every constituent we have. Jim France is at every race, which is phenomenal. The ability to say that you don't have a chance to talk to us about your feedback is a bit questionable." Questions were raised throughout the weekend with speeds up at Dover because of higher downforce. Kevin Harvick tweeted during the weekend that he went 17 mph faster in the center of the corner with this package than last year. Busch raised safety concerns Friday about the speeds. Other drivers raised questions about what the racing might be like with the faster speeds. Despite coming from the back of the field at the start to win, Martin Truex Jr. said it was "definitely really hard to pass" Monday. Busch was again outspoken after the race, calling the race package "terrible" according to Frontstretch.com reporter Davey Segal. Asked about Busch's comments, O'Donnell told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio: "I would probably start with, didn't have the race he wanted and not surprised at what he said. What's unfortunate, he actually tied a record (for most top-10 finishes to start a season) and the question I'm asked is about his comments postrace. His teammate was able to win and pass every car in the field, and he chose to make the comments he did. "If you look at the package, no matter what we've put out there, drivers always say it's hard to pass, and our comment back to that has always been that these are the best drivers in the world and it's going to be hard to pass. "I've brought it up before, this is one of our most challenging tracks. Typically we see some challenges in passing at Dover. Talked about the last stage, I think we would have liked to have seen a little bit closer racing certainly in the last stage but also don't want to take anything away from Truex and what his team was able to do. "It's important to remind everyone that when we talk about his package, it wasn't done in a vacuum. The entire industry said we wanted a consistent package for every racetrack. Dover we knew going in was going to be a challenging track. All in all, I think the first two stages presented some really good races. I would choose to go back and look … you always ask me how the overall season been, we've seen some really good racing, we've seen some stats that are up from passing, green-flag passes for the lead are up 46 percent. That's an important stat for the industry, and that's one we're going to continue to focus on, and we're going to go to Kansas and focus on putting on good races. That's how I would address Kyle." Asked how NASCAR balances criticism of the racing package, O'Donnell said: "Our job is to balance all that input and then make a decision on what we think will put on the best race, the most competitive race that will allow as many as cars to win as possible, but we still want the best cars and best drivers to win. Anytime you see it's challenging to pass, that's something we look at. We said we would do that. … When you look at the body of the work so far this year, it's hard to say the racing has not been better than last year. I think it has been. What I go back to are the facts and the facts prove it out."

PITTSBURGH (KDKA)   Not that the team is even for sale, but a native entrepreneur is not interested in buying the Pirates for a number of reasons. Pirates beat reporter Jason Mackey spoke with Mark Cuban via email recently, and the Shark Tank star explained his reasoning as to why he is not interested in buying the Bucs. "I've heard Mark Cuban bandied about as a sort of dream scenario Pirates owner, so I decided to shoot him an email about talk about it." I've heard Mark Cuban bandied about as a sort of dream scenario Pirates owner, so I decided to shoot him an email about talk about it: https://t.co/BkVs6janJZ   Jason Mackey (@JMackeyPG) July 30, 2019 During the interview, Cuban said he inquired about the sale of the team in 2005 and was told they were not for sale. Mackey asked Cuban why he would not want the organization, the billionaire gave a few reasons. The first reason is his kids, he is not single anymore and enjoys spending time with his family. Cuban also cited the failing state of MLB Baseball, including falling attendance. Cuban said the Pirates fans do not give Pirates owner Bob Nutting as much credit as they deserve. "I don't think their management is nearly as bad as diehard fans make it out to be," Cuban wrote. "Once they had time to develop their farm system, they have been able to develop good young talent. This losing streak aside, they have been competing in a tough division." Cuban, who is know for taking risks as an owner, says that is where the Pirates have issues. "I think where they go wrong is that they always appear to put profits over winning," Cuban wrote. "They don't take a risk that could have negative financial consequences."


The Nurburgring's tourist sessions bring out all sorts of weird, wacky cars , but this one might take the cake. It's a Volkswagen T1 Bus that's been turned into a full-on track machine, complete with a roll cage, racing buckets, and an air-cooled Porsche flat-six engine. This bus hauls . YouTuber Misha Charoudin was lucky enough to snag a ride with the owner for a lap of the Green Hell, and it looks like it was a strange and wonderful experience. Driver and passenger sit ahead of the front wheels, and the engine hangs behind the rear axle, meaning weight balance is a bit... off. Corners have to be approached differently versus your average sports car. It makes for some wild in-cabin footage: This thing might not be as quick as a 911, but we're confident it's just as fun to toss around the Nurburgring as any Porsche. The sights, the sounds, they're all there. We're certainly fans.


You'd be right to think electric racing is still in its infancy, but don't let that lull you into believing it's slow. The famous Isle of Mann TT series of bike races is going on this week, and the electric portion of the contest has just concluded with John McGuinness taking the trophy after averaging a blistering 119.3mph around the brutal 37-mile course. The Isle of Mann is known for being unforgiving , and many of the first-year teams are happy just to get their riders and bikes around the track without any misfortunes. McGuinness' time of 18 minutes and 58 seconds set a new record for electric bikes at the Isle of Mann. Mugen teammate Bruce Anstey, who had already secured an earlier victory in the gas-powered Superbike class, was only 4 seconds behind with a time of 19 minutes and 2 seconds. Both riders averaged in excess of 118mph and reached a peak speed of over 162mph. Third place finisher Lee Johnston of race debutants Victory Motorcycles topped out at 144mph with an average speed of 111.6mph. For comparison, Anstey and his nearest Superbike competitors averaged just over 130mph in their non-electric race. All of these numbers would have been unthinkable only a few years ago, when electric bikes were aiming to just break the 100mph mark. Now, the victorious Team Mugen is going back to the drawing board in pursuit of the obvious next milestone to surpass: 120mph.


Video by Associated Press U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings called Wednesday for an end to "hateful rhetoric" among the nation's leaders, saying "We are all sick of this." "We all want decency and respect," the Baltimore Democrat said at the National Press Club in Washington. It was his first major speech since Republican President Donald Trump's lengthy string of tweets and comments sharply critical of Cummings, his hometown of Baltimore and his district, which Trump called "rat and rodent infested." Cummings, chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, didn't mention Trump by name in his call for civility, but referred to "those in the highest levels of government." He said the national dialogue has become so foul that his 10-year-old niece asked him recently if they were going to be put in cages. In a question-and-answer period, Cummings repeated his earlier call for Trump to visit Baltimore. "I want President Trump to come to my district   oh, God, I want him to come." Cummings said. He said he had not been able to reach Trump to invite him. "I can't get to him," he said. "I want him to come and look at my entire city." Cummings said that included an invitation visit the parts of his district in Baltimore and Howard counties "where the richest of the rich are." Cummings also urged Congress to return early from its August recess and convene a session on gun violence. "When you've got people dying, c'mon," the congressman said. He said he is not persuaded by talk from Republicans about possible new gun safety measures. "You have a lot of talk. But in the end, nothing happens. They will make these glorious statements," he said. Cummings called on the U.S. Senate to vote on a House-passed bill mandating universal background checks for gun buyers. His plea followed the recent mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas. "Gun violence seems to know no bounds. None," Cummings said. "The American people are begging us for more than thoughts and prayers." The president not only commented about the city last week but also tweeted "Too Bad!" after he learned that the congressman's Baltimore home was broken into July 27. Cummings said he scared away the intruder by yelling at the man. Trump defended his response, tweeting that it was "not meant as a wise-guy tweet." The president also addressed the city's homicide rate last week at a rally. "The homicide rate in Baltimore is significantly higher than El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala," Trump told supporters. "Gimme a place that you think is pretty bad. Gimme a place," Trump continued. "The guy says, 'Afghanistan.' I believe it's higher than Afghanistan. In our country. Think of that." Cummings spoke to reporters about Trump last weekend at a ribbon-cutting for a community park several blocks from his Druid Heights home. "I'd love for him to sit down and talk to the doctors at Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland and see the beautiful neighborhoods of our city, and I'd be happy to have him," Cummings said. Cummings has recently drawn the president's ire for his criticisms of how federal immigration authorities treat detainees, particularly children. Also, Cummings' committee recently subpoenaed private communications records from White House officials, including Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The committee said it is investigating whether emails and texts about "official business" violated federal law by being sent to or from White House officials on personal accounts. The committee is also in a court fight with the administration over subpoenas   challenged by the president   of Trump's personal and financial records. The congressman has complained that the administration has repeatedly ignored requests for witnesses and documents that are part of the House's appropriate oversight of the executive branch. At the National Press Club lunch, Cummings' wife, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, and daughter, Jennifer Cummings, sat at the head table with the congressman. Rockeymoore Cummings is the head of the Maryland Democratic Party. Among those in the audience was former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a Democrat. "I have his back," she said before the speech.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawyers for Roger Stone, a former political adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, on Thursday denied accusations by prosecutors that he violated a court-imposed media gag order by posting comments on social media about former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. In a court filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Stone's lawyers said he was exercising his First Amendment rights within the confines of the gag order. "Seeking to hold Roger Stone in contempt when he has sought to (and has) complied with the Court's Order, is not appropriate," they wrote. Last week, prosecutors accused Stone of trying to "fan the flames" and poison the jury pool ahead of his November trial. They asked Judge Amy Berman Jackson to hold a hearing to consider changing his conditions of release, which could potentially land him behind bars. "Stone's posts appear calculated to generate media coverage of information that is not relevant to this case but that could prejudice potential jurors," prosecutors wrote in a court filing. They said the posts relate to his claims that Russia did not hack Democratic computer servers in the 2016 presidential election. Prosecutors said Stone posted comments on June 18 and 19 on Instagram that referenced articles expressing skepticism of Mueller's probe, and he questioned why some media outlets were not covering the developments. Stone's lawyers said his posts "are not 'statements,' nor do they pose a danger to the fair trial concern," which was the reason for the gag order. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In February, Jackson ordered Stone to stop publicly speaking about the case after he had posted a seemingly threatening photo of her next to the image of gun crosshairs on his Instagram account. She warned Stone he would not have a second chance if he failed to abide by her order. Stone is one of 34 individuals who were snagged as part of Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements to Congress, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. (Reporting by Eric Beech; Editing by Richard Chang)


Last weekend's terrible weather during the Spa FIA World Endurance Championship round saved Ferrari from finishing "absolutely last", reckons factory driver James Calado. The Briton finished less than a second behind the winning Aston Martin in the AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE he shared with Alessandro Pier Guidi in a race affected by snow and rain. But the 2017 WEC champion believes that the two factory Ferraris were not capable of finishing any higher the ninth and 10th positions in which they qualified at the back of the class field had it been a dry race. "The team played it really well on the strategy and the car was very competitive in the rain   that's what got us up there," Calado told Motorsport.com. "You have to be happy if you if start from P9 and finish second." The sister AF GTE Pro entry driven by Sam Bird and Davide Rigon ended up sixth, and asked where the Ferraris would have finished in dry conditions, Calado replied: "Absolutely last - ninth and 10th." The rain allowed the Ferrari drivers to overcome its straightline speed deficiency under the current Balance of Performance. "We didn't go to Spa believing we could challenge for the victory, because sectors one and two are all about straightline speed," he said. The Ferrari drivers have complained that they are unable to pass GTE Am cars on the straights as a result of the BoP . Calado believes that he could have challenged the winning Aston Martin with Maxime Martin at the wheel had the race not been red-flagged with just over 11 minutes of the six hours remaining. "A couple of laps more, and I would have been in a position to have a go at the Aston," he said. Calado remains hopeful that the BoP for next month's Le Mans 24 Hours, which is not covered by the automatic system used in the shorter WEC races, will allow the Ferrari to be competitive. The results of Spa mean that he and Pier Guidi can no longer retain their WEC crown: the GTE Pro title battle is now between the two factory Porsche crews of Kevin Estre and Michael Christensen and Richard Lietz and Gianmaria Bruni. Estre and Christensen lead by 36 points with only 39 left to play for at Le Mans, after Bruni and Lietz were demoted from a podium finish by a post-race penalty for contact with Giancarlo Fisichella's GTE Am class Ferrari.

Crews worked on Friday to free dozens of vehicles after a mudslide covered a central California highway in several feet of muck, even as authorities sought to re-open part of a key interstate also covered in mud from heavy rains, officials said. The two roads were closed on Thursday when flash floods hit parts of the state. Forecasters warned on Friday of possible thunderstorms that could trigger more flash floods going into the weekend. In Kern County on State Route 58 in the Tehachapi Pass, about 60 miles (97 km) north of Los Angeles, a mudslide on Thursday left nearly 200 vehicles, including 75 semi-trailer trucks, stuck in up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) of mud, local sheriff's spokesman Ray Pruitt said. Most vehicles remained trapped on Friday, after authorities placed nearly 300 stranded motorists and passengers in shelters overnight, Pruitt said. A handful of motorists chose to stay in their vehicles overnight, he said. "It's going to be a huge project to try to get this road cleared," Pruitt said, adding that it could take days. Heavy rains on Thursday sent tons of mud streaming onto Interstate 5 along the Grapevine mountain pass about 50 miles (80 km) north of Los Angeles, shutting down the region's main north-south highway, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) officials said. The interstate segment remained closed on Friday morning as crews swept the road surface of mud and other debris and cleared drainage culverts, Caltrans spokeswoman Lauren Wonder said. Authorities said they hoped to reopen the Grapevine section later in the day, after geologists checked the stability of the adjacent hillside. The Leona Valley, about 20 miles (32 km) north of Los Angeles, saw the greatest downpours on Thursday, with 3.58 inches (9 cm) of rain falling - most of that in a 30-minute period - and golf ball-sized hail thrown into the mix, National Weather Service meteorologist Robbie Munroe said. Elsewhere in Southern California, several roads were washed out and there were reports of motorists having to be rescued from torrential flooding in northern Los Angeles County, he said. A flash flood watch remained posted through Friday evening, advising of storm conditions that could unleash flash flooding in several mountain areas and in northern Los Angeles County's Antelope Valley, which saw heavy flooding on Thursday. There was also a slight chance of thunderstorms returning to the region on Saturday and Sunday, Munroe said. (Reporting by Alex Dobuzinskis; Editing by Steve Gorman and Eric Walsh)


Twenty residents of the master-planned Walsh development in far west Fort Worth have filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the construction of townhomes in their area. The group filed the lawsuit May 21 in Parker County District Court. The Walsh development, which is currently home to fewer than 300 residents but in the coming years could be a neighborhood of 50,000 people in the Fort Worth/Aledo area, is a high-end development that straddles the area where the Interstate 20/30 merge in Parker County. The suit alleges that Republic Property Group, which is overseeing the 1,700-acre development, intended all along to build single-family town homes that shared walls in the first phase of Walsh   even though its representatives told prospective buyers the first phase would only be for single-family, detached homes. The plaintiffs were all among the very first buyers to build homes in the Walsh development, beginning in 2017. The residents said it wasn't until late 2018 that word began to leak out that townhomes would soon be added to the area, which otherwise features single-family, detached homes priced from the high $200,000s to nearly $1 million. The lawsuit alleges the defendants committed fraud by hiding those plans from the public, and asks the court for a temporary and permanent injunction to keep Republic from moving forward with those townhome plans. The lawsuit also asks for unspecified exemplary damages. Officials from Republic Property Group, which is overseeing the 1,700-acre development, downplayed the lawsuit in a statement sent by email Wednesday evening. "Our focus remains on what's best for the long-term future of Walsh and the greater Fort Worth community. Our vision has always been to create a great neighborhood that families from all walks of life can be proud to call home," said Seth Carpenter, Republic vice president of construction. "It's unfortunate; the claim raised by a small group is without merit and defies the spirit of Walsh." Several of the plaintiffs spoke with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in February about their concerns that they were misled by Republic Property Group and its affiliates. They said the matter was made worse when Republic canceled a planned community meeting to address residents' questions and concerns. One of the residents, Brent Nicewonger, said in an affidavit that was an exhibit in the lawsuit that he and his wife did extensive research for two years before moving into the area because they wanted to avoid living near multifamily housing. They consider townhomes a form of multifamily housing. "Each builder representative that we talked with had the same answer for us and even provided maps saying that any townhomes, multifamily, or apartments would be located down by the highway in areas that did not align with the first-phase area," Nicewonger wrote. The Walsh development bills itself as the "next great neighborhood of Fort Worth," with features that include an athletic club, village market and "makerspace" that includes tools for metal and wood work, and 3D printers. In addition to Nicewonger, plaintiffs listed in the lawsuit include: Adib Asrabadi; Jeffrey Jesus Davis; Sarah Elizabeth Huffman; Bobby Mayfield; Kristel Mayfield; Brian Meadors; Charity Meadors; Mark Thomas Moorman; Melissa Moorman; Kathryn Uppold; Tim Still; Barbara Still; Don Titus; Jennifer Titus; Brian Uhlmer; Nickoel Uhlmer; John Wawrzeniak; Tricia Wawrzeniak; and Aurora Kamimura. Defendants in the lawsuit include Republic Property Group LTD; RPG, LLC; Walsh Ranches Limited Partnership; Quail Valley DEVCO I, LLC; Quail Valley DEVCO II, LLC; and RPG QVR, LLC.     ©2019 the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Visit the Fort Worth Star-Telegram at www.star-telegram.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.


Video by CBS News Amid the screams, flying bullets and bloodshed that erupted on a warm summer evening at the Gilroy Garlic Festival on Sunday, someone shouted a pivotal question at the gunman: "Why are you doing this?" "Because I'm really angry," the gunman replied, according to Jack Van Breen, who spoke with reporters after performing at the festival with his band, TinMan. Little more is known about the motive of the shooter, who authorities have identified as Santino William Legan. But on Monday, disturbing details began to emerge about the 19-year-old Gilroy native, including possible links to the white supremacist movement. The famed festival was winding down when authorities allege that Legan crept past a creek and cut through a fence, bypassing entrance security, while armed with an AK-47-style rifle. Soon after, he began spraying attendees with gunfire, authorities said, claiming three lives and wounding a dozen more. Within a minute, Legan was shot and killed by three police officers who arrived and fired at him with their handguns. Investigators spent the next 24 hours gathering evidence, serving search warrants and scouring social media sites for clues of what led to the rampage. Before the attack, he posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, "Ayyy garlic festival time come get wasted on overpriced ...," using an expletive. He also posted a photo of a Smokey Bear sign warning about fire danger, with a caption instructing people to read an obscure novel glorified by white supremacists: "Might Is Right" published under the pseudonym Ragnar Redbeard. In his profile, which has since been deleted, Legan identified himself as being of Italian and Iranian descent. The book, published in 1890, includes discredited principles related to social Darwinism that have been used to justify racism, slavery and colonialism, said Brian Levin, director of Cal State San Bernardino's Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism. "The notion that people of color are biologically inferior is a key tenet of this book, and that biological determinism, the Darwinian view of the world, justifies aggression against diverse people and vulnerable people," Levin said. Authorities say Legan bought the semi-automatic rifle used in the shooting legally in Nevada on July 9, less than three weeks before the shooting. The weapon looks like a military-style AK-47. With its standard clip and stocks, it's considered an assault rifle that is banned under California law. It's unclear if the shooter targeted specific people. The Nevada gun shop, Big Mikes Guns and Ammo, said in a Facebook post Monday that the buyer ordered the gun online. "When I did see him, he was acting happy and showed no reasons for concern," the seller wrote, adding that he was heartbroken over the attack. "I would never ever sell any firearm to anyone who acted wrong or looks associated with any bad group like white power. Everyone is my brother and sister and I am mourning for the families." California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra said Monday the investigation may determine that the gunman broke a law by purchasing the weapon in Nevada and bringing it into the state. "That weapon could not be sold in California. That weapon cannot be imported into the state of California," he said. "There is a very strong likelihood, as we develop the evidence, that the perpetrator in this particular case, violated California law, on top of the crimes of homicide." Legan was originally from Gilroy and graduated from Gilroy High School in 2017. In a YouTube video that surfaced of his commencement, Legan's full name is announced before he walks across the stage to receive his diploma. A district spokesperson declined to confirm that he attended and referred all media requests to the Police Department. The school district is offering counseling sessions for students, staff and members of the community affected by the incident. Recently he had spent time in Nevada living with family. Authorities searched two homes tied to him: a house at the end of a quiet suburban cul-de-sac in Gilroy and a triplex unit in Walker Lake, Nev., that authorities believe he used in the days before the shooting. Officers emerged from the Gilroy house   which sits less than two miles from the festival grounds   carrying several paper bags. Later on Monday, investigators searched the vehicle the gunman drove to the festival. Police said it was found on Laurel Drive, northeast of the park. When Legan didn't come home after the shooting, his older brother, Rosino Legan, thought he'd been shot by the gunman, said Jerome Turcan, a family friend who trained Rosino Legan in boxing and martial arts for many years. When Turcan heard on the radio that there had been a shooting in Gilroy, he called Rosino Legan and his father, Tom Legan. Turcan said he got through to Rosino Legan, who said he was in the car with his cousin, searching for his younger brother. Rosino Legan couldn't find his brother and was thinking of going to the emergency room, Turcan said. "They wanted to be sure he was OK. That was the last contact I had with him," Turcan said. "And then I learned this morning it was Santino who did the shooting. It was shocking." Turcan, who teaches martial arts in San Jose, said he trained Rosino Legan two or three times a week for more than a decade. He watched the boy grow into a top-notch athlete, he said, at one point ranked second in the nation for his weight class. Rosino Legan, 23, is a boxer who was training for the 2020 Olympics two years ago, though it's unclear if he's training now. He graduated from a high school east of Santa Cruz and from Santa Clara University, a private college, in 2018. In a 2017 Gilroy Dispatch article, Santino Legan is described as one of his brother's "ready-made sparring partners," in addition to his two other brothers. In a 2014 Medium post, Rosino Legan wrote about his experience with the 2013 California versus Puerto Rico boxing team and described his father, Tom Legan   a competitive track-and-field runner   as his coach. Turcan said Tom Legan is "a great athlete himself," adding that the father tried out for the Olympics in 1988 for the 800- and 400-meter events. Turcan said he didn't see much of Santino Legan   the boy didn't box or train in martial arts. The teen's grandfather, who died last year, was a former Santa Clara County supervisor who was accused and acquitted of molesting his daughter in 1982. "That family is a good family, really respectful, really hardworking," Turcan said. "I don't know where this comes from. It's shocking, just shocking." As of late Monday, police were "no closer" to determining whether there was a second person involved in the shooting, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said. "Everyone wants to know the answer: Why?" Smithee said. "If there's any affiliation with other people, or groups of people, that could potentially pose a threat in the future, that all plays in." Times staff writers Matthew Ormseth and Laura J. Nelson reported from Gilroy, and Hannah Fry, Alene Tchekmedyian, Colleen Shalby and Richard Winton from Los Angeles. Times staff writers Ruben Vives, Hailey Branson-Potts, David Montero, Patrick McGreev y and Thomas Curwen contributed to this report.

A suspect has been arrested after an off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was shot in the head in a fast food restaurant, authorities said. Deputy Joseph Gilbert Solano, who is now in grave condition and on life support at a nearby hospital, was in a Jack in the Box in Alhambra at about 5:45 p.m. on Monday when he was "tragically and senselessly shot in the head," Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. Solano, a 13-year veteran, "needs our prayers," the sheriff told reporters Monday night. (MORE: Law enforcement officers line streets of Savannah and Biloxi to honor two slain officers) Solano, who was in civilian clothes at the time of the attack, was waiting for his food when he was shot once in the back of the head, police said. After authorities blasted out descriptions of the suspect and his car, a 2012 Kia Sorento, on Tuesday morning, police in Long Beach, California, saw a car matching that description, officials said. The suspect, now identified as 30-year-old Rhett Mckenzie Nelson, was located in the car and taken into custody after a felony traffic stop, police said. Nelson, from St. George, Utah, is believed to have shot and killed another man an hour before shooting Solano, police said. When police took Nelson into custody, a revolver was found inside the vehicle, along with items Nelson was described as wearing during the shooting, including a hat and maroon shirt, police said Nelson was reported as a missing person in Utah and his family was concerned for his whereabouts, officials said, noting fliers were posted about Nelson's disappearance on social media. The suspect's father, according to police, contacted authorities after Nelson called him on Wednesday and allegedly admitted involvement in both shootings, police said. The shooting was caught on video, sheriff's officials told ABC Los Angeles station KABC-TV . But the video doesn't include audio, "so we don't know if there were words exchanged," Capt. Kent Wegner said. "There doesn't appear to be an overt motive," Wenger told KABC-TV. (MORE: Georgia police officer dies weeks after he was shot in the face in the line of duty) Villanueva had tweeted Monday night, "Our #LASD family continues to persevere in the wake of the senseless shooting of our deputy."
