John Calipari on Thursday addressed the news of his son Brad entering the NCAA transfer portal. News of Brad Calipari looking to transfer from Kentucky made headlines on Thursday. John, who has coached at Kentucky since 2009, says all the attention over Brad's potential move caught him off-guard. He also explained that a potential transfer is not due to bad blood between him and his son, but rather about the possibility of future playing time. We talked about the transfer portal and putting his name out there. He didn't think   nor did I   that putting his name out there would go crazy. We honestly didn't think anyone would notice. But at the end of the day, I want my son to be happy.   John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) May 30, 2019 If he decides to leave, I know our fans will continue to root for him. And if he decides to come back, I'll soak in every moment to coach my son. I love all my players   I just love Brad a little more.   John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) May 30, 2019 John is naive for thinking his son being in the transfer portal wouldn't create some attention. But those who have been paying attention know the topic has been discussed for a few months . Brad would have the chance to leave as a graduate transfer and play elsewhere. He appeared in 27 games over his first two seasons, playing 73 minutes. He has scored 11 points in his career, mostly as a three-point shooter, and he redshirted last season.


One thing you have to tip your cap to when it comes to Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is his ability to find late-round steals in his only two NFL drafts with the organization. In 2017, we have fifth rounder Matt Milano. In 2018, there's fourth rounder Taron Johnson. Both have played important roles on the team's defense in their young careers. Will the 2019 draft hold another late round steal? NFL.com's Lance Zierlein included on late-round pick of the Bills in his recent piece titled, his "three favorite picks by round" from the 2019 draft. That pick from Buffalo is sixth-round safety Jaquan Johnson. Here's why Zierlein says he tabbed Johnson as one of his favorites: Jaquan Johnson, S, Miami Drafted: 181st overall pick, Buffalo Bills He doesn't have great speed, and he's undersized, but Johnson is the embodiment of a ball player at the safety spot. Johnson was still waiting to hear his name called in Round 6 because teams fear he's not fast enough to range and not big enough to bang, but the tape speaks volumes, in my opinion. He's rarely out of position, has leadership qualities and is a consistent, downhill tackler. This is a great value pick. In the short term, the Bills are looking at Johnson as a potential special teamer that can potentially play some nickel corner as well, most likely. Over the past two seasons, the Bills have been very lucky that Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde have both stayed healthy. If Johnson can push either of them for playing time, there's nothing wrong with that. Don't expect it anytime soon, but when Rafael Bush was pressed into playing time last season at the big slot cornerback role or depth safety spot, he left something to be desired. So there, plus potentially as a long-term option as a starting safety, perhaps Johnson can be that McDermott "late-round steal" from the 2019 draft.

WCNC's investigations have shown human trafficking is a big issue in Charlotte. Wednesday, dozens of non-profit organizations gathered at a luncheon to learn more and talk about ways to prevent the crime. According to a local advocacy group, Charlotte is a hot spot for human trafficking, because it's surrounded by highways, has an international airport and big sporting events. Academy Award-winning actress Mira Sorvino was a keynote speaker, encouraging people to get involved in the fight against the crime. "We have to prevent it, otherwise all the work we're doing is just triage," said Sorvino, who's also a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. "We're just fixing things after they've been damaged." She's helping to shine a light on the seriousness of human trafficking. It's not just a growing problem around the world, but also in Charlotte. "There's complex trauma for every single guest that we have," said Alexa Nagy with Lily Pad Haven, Inc., a Charlotte-area organization providing transitional housing for victims. The need for their services is becoming more and more common. Our investigations have found dozens of sex trafficking cases opened by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police over the last four years. Records show many are still under investigation. "The more we get out there and educate the community on what human trafficking is, what a huge issue it has become, that's how we can prevent other people from falling victim to it," Nagy said. A victim, who didn't want her identity to be known, spoke at the event. She candidly shared her experiences and says she was sold in Charlotte several times. Sorvino says part of the solution is addressing the demand for human trafficking. "No one would exploit a child if there wasn't someone there to buy the services of that child," Sorvino said. "People would not be dragged into this life if people weren't willing to pay for sex." They also encouraged people to speak up if they see something they suspect is human trafficking. The National Human Trafficking hotline number is 1-888-373-7888.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.   Fulfilling a key, controversial campaign promise popular with his party's base, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Friday that will ban so-called "sanctuary cities" in Florida, though the policy is expected to draw a legal skirmish over its constitutionality as it goes into effect next month. The bill, SB 168, requires local and state law enforcement officials and entities to honor federal "immigration detainer" requests, which ask a law enforcement agency to detain someone on probable cause that they are "removable" under federal immigration laws. It also prohibits local officials from implementing "sanctuary" policies, which had previously not been defined in state law. There are no "sanctuary cities" in Florida. Joined by ally U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, who represents the area, and bill sponsor state Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, DeSantis told a packed crowd in the chambers of the Okaloosa County Commission that the bill "is about the rule of law" and "public safety." "I said we were going to do certain things, and I'm happy to report after having just one legislative session under our belt we're delivering on the promises we made to the people of Florida," he said, to applause. He cast "sanctuary cities" as "law-free zones" where people could arrive illegally and commit crimes, "and then just walk out the door and continue to do it." The controversial proposal had been brought before the Legislature before but passed this year in part thanks to DeSantis' aggressive support. The former congressman had made banning "sanctuary cities" a key part of his gubernatorial campaign and met regularly with lawmakers throughout the session to ensure it had the votes to pass. Advocates of the bill had contended that the bill would only affect people who had been charged with a crime and ensure compliance with federal laws. But opponents, including business and immigrants' rights groups and the American Civil Liberties Union, argued that the bill would have unintended consequences by splitting immigrant families and hurting minority communities. The issue drew weeks of impassioned, pained testimony on both sides, as well as protests that stirred the Capitol and even disrupted proceedings on the House floor in the final days of the legislative session. As DeSantis signed the bill into law Friday, some of those groups criticized what they called "one of the worst anti-immigrant laws in the country." "Laws like this are proven to negatively impact people in immigrant communities, who will be less likely to report crime to the police or cooperate with investigations, for fear of immigration enforcement against themselves or their neighbors," said Scott McCoy, senior policy counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund, in a statement. He accused DeSantis and Republican lawmakers of using "racial grievance to drive a wedge between Floridians." "It undermines public safety making our towns and cities less safe by requiring local law enforcement to spend less of their time and resources fighting crime in local communities and more on doing the work of federal immigration authorities." Andrea Mercado, executive director of the progressive New Florida Majority group, said in a statement that the organization "will back legal challenges to this law." Florida is the latest among several states that have taken up or are considering similar policies, including Arkansas, which recently also passed a "sanctuary cities" ban. The proposal was a popular issue among DeSantis' supporters, particularly in the Republican-leaning Panhandle. In rural Okaloosa County, where the bill was signed, interest in DeSantis' appearance was so high that the event was moved from the county sheriff's office to the county's commission chambers in Shalimar, which can hold eight times as many people. Of the county's 180,000 residents, 6% are Hispanic or Latino.     (Miami Herald staff writer Samantha J. Gross contributed to this report.)     ©2019 Tampa Bay Times (St. Petersburg, Fla.)

Kelly Ripa shows off her ridiculous beach bod, plus more celebrity news for June 26, 2019. Kelly Ripa shows off her insane beach bod Um, we need to talk about Kelly Ripa's gams. Or maybe we don't, since so many other Instagram users are already doing just that. On Tuesday, June 25, Kelly shared a photo her daughter, Lola, took of her on the beach and to say the 48-year-old is a serious beach stunner would be a serious understatement. "Sous le soleil avec #papa (Not pictured) 📷: @theyoungestyung," she wrote alongside the gorgeous pic. That's French for "under the sun with #papa," suggesting Kelly, Mark Consuelos and their kids may be somewhere in the French-speaking tropics, although a post from a few days prior showed Mark and the couple's sons in Greece. Not that most of her followers were looking in the "location" section of the post. "I would do anything for legs 🦵🏼 like this!!!!! Anything. 🔥🔥🔥🔥," Lisa Rinna told her pal. Busy Philipps seemed to agree, sending a hearty, "🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥" Kelly's way. Holly Robinson Peete and Debbi Mazar shared some praise for the image, as well. Talk about # BeachBod goals ... View this post on Instagram Sous le soleil avec #papa (Not pictured) 📷: @theyoungestyung A post shared by Kelly Ripa (@kellyripa) on Jun 25, 2019 at 7:49am PDT Reese Witherspoon buys $6.2M Malibu 'compound' Reese Witherspoon 's female-focused production company , Hello Sunshine, must be doing pretty well, if her real estate profile is any indication. According to Page Six , the "Big Little Lies" star and co-producer just plunked down a cool $6.2 million for a gated property in Malibu. The tab's source says the pad is a "compound" comprised of a main house as well as a farmhouse built in 1949 and a guesthouse featuring an outdoor living room, fire pit and even horse stables. Though the insider says the place is not slated to be a work location for Reese, it comes with filming-ready studio space, should Reese need it. The insider also clarified that the digs won't "be her primary residence." Kaley Cuoco shares video of cupping, scraping body work Kaley Cuoco may have just proved it's possible to feel vicarious pain through someone's Instagram. On Tuesday, June 25, the ouch-ridden "Big Bang Theory" star shared a video of the body work she was having done as a means of recovering from a workout she said "absolutely wrecked" her. "My body just starts to shut down from complete overuse," she explained in the posts before showing followers her "angel Flory literally scraping my legs and hips" with a jade gua sha -- a tool that's scraped against the skin to damage the tissue, which some adherents of alternative medicine believe helps resolve pain and improve circulation, according to the Daily Mail . (Fun fact: One of the first citations in Wikipedia's entry on the practice comes from an alternative medicine researcher who titled his findings, "Gua Sha: Torture or Treatment?") Kaley clearly has faith in the practice, though, or at least was willing to try anything. "I'm so tight I can barely bend or turn I haven't been able to actually move in weeks," she explained in one clip. "Explain what horrific things you're doing to me," she quips in another, to which Flory replies: "Your fascia is intense and tight, and I need to remove it ... your nerves and your ligaments get better." Kaley also gets some painful looking cupping -- yes, that's the attachment of suction cups to the skin -- from Flory, which she helpfully shares with fans. The actress later says she got her "a--- hand to" her at the gym then came to see Flory. She adds that she's "go to do more" body work, too. "I go a few weeks and then I end up not being able to walk. think my body just starts to shut down from just complete overuse. If I don't take care of it, I'm going to crumble," she says before telling followers, "You've got to take care of yourself in order to be able to take care of the things around you." Rihanna made a Fenty 'immigrant' shirt because 'right now, you have to be as loud as you can' One of the pieces Rihanna included in her new Fenty line is a T-shirt featuring the word "immigrant" and showing its Latin origins. A few days ago, she and a group of female friends held the piece up for a photo that she captioned, "hey 👋🏿 @realdonaldtrump." It was no coincidence the post landed shortly before Trump planned to conduct deportation raids across the country and as reports of the treatment of children at the U.S.-Mexico border grow more dire. "For me, it's a prideful word," she told The Cut at her launch party for the new line this month. "To know that you can come from humble beginnings and just take over whatever you want to, dominate at whatever you put your mind to. The world becomes your oyster, and there's no limit. Wherever I go, except for Barbados, I'm an immigrant. I think people forget that a lot of times. I think they see Rihanna the brand. But I think it's important for people to remember, if you love me, everyone out here is just like me. A million Rihannas out there, getting treated like dirt." She elaborated on those thoughts backstage at the BET Awards . Speaking to The Root , the Barbadian singer/designer -- who happens to be the richest female musician in the world, according to Forbes -- said she feels it's important for everyone to speak up. "I think in any situation where something as devastating as what's happening in America right now with the immigrants you have to be as loud as you can and you have to raise as much awareness," she said. "As a nation, put all your heads together and put your voices together and be as loud as possible because that's the only way politicians in the government actually listen when they feel like their country is as concerned as the matter is concerning," Taylor Swift, Chrissy Teigen and more stars reach out to fan battling CF As Taylor Swift superfan Annie McMahon battles cystic fibrosis, she's getting love from A-listers, near and far -- including Taylor. "Annie survived 2 dbl lung transplants and is too sick for a 3rd transplant," a friend of Annie's wrote on Twitter, sharing a video of Annie singing "You Belong With Me." "@taylorswift13 is Annie's idol.. her life long dream is to meet taylor!" the pal continued. Seems Taylor got the message, loud and clear. E! News reports that Taylor ended up calling Annie this month, prompting Annie to write a thank-you note to her idol on Instagram. "Thank you @taylorswift for being such a beautiful person and taking the time out of your day to talk to me," she posted. "It meant the world to me! I can't wait to meet you! Thank you to everyone who helped make this dream of mine come true!!" That's not the only celeb focused dream that's come true for 22-year-old Annie. E! reports she's now Facetimed with Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas and had a visit from Chrissy Teigen and has been sent video messages from everyone from Steve Carell to Gwen Stefani to multiple members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, among others. Paris Hilton weighs in on rumors she'll reboot 'The Simple Life' with Lindsay Lohan With Lindsay Lohan 's eponymous beach club and reality show in Greece apparently defunct , perhaps it wasn't a stretch for some folks to believe a rumor that surfaced this week on Twitter claiming Paris Hilton was rebooting "The Simple Life" with her old frenemy, Lindsay. Sadly, fans of early aughts gossip (and questionably dressed rich people doing farm work) are out of luck. "FYI, Someone has made a fake fan account & invented this #TheSimpleLife rumor," Paris tweeted on Tuesday, June 25. "There is no truth to it. Yes, I love that show & I was approached again to do it. But I had to say no as I have an extremely busy work schedule traveling the world running my empire. #GirlBoss 👑" A rep for Lindsay has since told Page Six the idea of pairing the two for a reboot was "news to us." Paris starred on the original show from 2003 until 2007 alongside Nicole Richie. The Twitter handle that started the rumor -- @TheSimpleLife -- was suspended as of Wednesday. Scott Disick 'hates that' Khoe Kardashian was hurt again by a man she loved Khloe Kardashian 's clearly hurt but trying to move on after her split from Tristan Thompson and there's one close friend in her life who plans to keep supporting her no matter what. A source tells Us Weekly Scott Disick "hates" that she's been through what she has with Tristan, who allegedly hooked up with Jordyn Woods, as well as other romantic partners. "He's always looked at Khloé as a sister and he's seen her been burned by men over the years and he hates that for her. Everyone had hoped that with Tristan being the father of her daughter, it would work out," the insider says. "Scott has always had a soft spot for Khloé and she for him, despite any struggles that he may have had personally or with Kourtney and the family in the past," the source adds. "She was always there for him and in her time of need, he will always be there for her." Prince William shares how he'd react if one of his children came out as gay Prince William spent some time this week visiting London's Albert Kennedy Trust -- an organization that provides support to "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people who are homeless, living in a hostile environment or in housing crisis," according to its website. While he was there speaking to young people involved with the charity, he revealed that he and Kate have discussed how they'd react if one of their kids, Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 14 months, came out as gay after being asked about that possibility by one of the participants. "I wish we lived in a world where it's really normal and cool, but particularly for my family, and the position that we are in, that's the bit I am nervous about," he said, according to the BBC . William went on to explain that it would "obviously, absolutely be fine" with him and Kate and that he'd support "whatever decision" his kids might make, he'd be concerned about the treatment the child would receive. "How many barriers you know, hateful words, persecution, all that and discrimination that might come, that's the bit that really troubles me," he said. "But that's for all of us to try and help correct and make sure we can put that to the past and not come back to that sort of stuff." He said he and Kate have talked about wanting their kids to be "prepared" for a situation like that. "I think communication is so important with everything, in order to help understand it you've got to talk a lot about stuff and make sure how to support each other and how to go through the process. It worries me, not because of them being gay, it worries me as to how everyone else will react and perceive it and then the pressure is then on them," the Daily Mail quotes him as having said. Last year, the Queen's cousin, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, and his partner James Coyle became the first royal same-sex couple to marry. The Albert Kennedy Trust has been supported in the past by the Princess Diana Memorial Fund, among other groups. Why Janelle Monae got emotional 'seeing young black kidd with their moms' at Pride Last week, in honor of Pride, Janelle Monae announced all proceeds from her "Dirty Computer" merch would be going to LGBTQ+-centric organizations in New York City, as well as near where she grew up in Kansas City. That's just one way the singer, who came out as pansexual last year, is embracing is her newly public identity. "Pride month is every month for me," she recently told People , noting that she just attended her first Pride festival in New Orleans. "It was so incredible, people were so happy," she recalled. "The thing that made me really teary-eyed was seeing young black kids with their moms there. Their moms brought them and were standing by their sides." While her mom has been supportive of her, Janelle pointed out that lots of "kids, young and old," aren't so lucky. "Being able to see that community at Pride and in New Orleans, to see them celebrating, dancing, laughing, just not having a care in the world for those two hours I was there was just a sight to see," she continued. "I encourage everyone, even if you're not a part of the LGBTQIA+ community to go and experience that joy." Janelle added: "There's never a wrong time to promote positivity in the future. I think especially with the world we're living in, specifically in America, we have to have conversation, important conversations." Ivana Trump breaks up with her ex-husband After marrying, divorcing then getting back together with her Italian, fourth husband Rossano Rubicondi, Donald Trump's ex, Ivana Trump, is single -- but not quite on the market. "I am once again a single woman. I have the freedom to do what I want, with whomever I want to, and I can afford my lifestyle," she tells Page Six , adding that her relationship with Rossano "just ran its course" and citing the challenges of maintaining it between Italy and New York City. "I don't want to get married again," she assured the tab. "I'm done. You get married because you want a family. I have three kids and grandkids. I just want to be free and go where I want to go with whoever I want. I want to be a free woman." That doesn't mean she has her eyes set on someone new. "I don't want to date. I like to have companions, and I have plenty of men who take me for lunches and dinners and balls or charity events. I don't want to be attached," she said. Instead, Ivana plans to spend the summer in St. Tropez, enjoying the company of house guests.


Olympique Lyonnais have entered into the race for Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis, following the €55m transfer of Ferland Mendy to Real Madrid. Luis, who is out of contract with Los Rojiblancos this summer, is currently back in Brazil with the national team as part of the Selecao squad tasked with winning the Copa America for the first time since 2007. And, according to L'Equipe , after having an €8.5m bid for Youssouf Kone rejected by Lille, Lyon have turned their attention to the 33-year-old left back. Newly appointed manager Sylvinho - himself a former Selecao full back - and sporting director Juninho are understood to be particularly keen on the switch, having just sent the club's legal team to Brazil in order to sign a partnership with 'Pele Academia', a school set up by the eponymous legend in Rio. Having entered into discussions with Luis, the Ligue 1 side are desperate to shore up a deal as soon as possible, but there are a number of complications. Firstly, they will face considerable competition for his signature from fellow French outfit AS Monaco, Barcelona , Flamengo and several unnamed English sides, not to mention Atletico themselves, who are still keen on handing him a fresh deal. Secondly, in a recent interview with Marca , Luis made it clear that he would not settle his future until after the Copa America was completed, as he declared: "I'll say to my friends at Marca and everyone else that you'll know [about my future] after the Copa America. Carli Lloyd. The first player to score in six consecutive Women's World Cup games. Incredible!  https://t.co/JA7DQCXBwj   90min (@90min_Football) June 17, 2019 "There's a chance that I'll stay and there's a chance that I'll leave. Out of respect for the national team, it's not the moment to negotiate. I will sit down with the club and my representatives after the Copa America and we'll see what I have to do." Indeed, he ended by seemingly handed Diego Simeone and co a boost, as he explained: "But you know Atletico is the club in my heart and where I've spent the best years of my life."


LOS ANGELES   The bustle inside LAX Ammunition on the Friday before Father's Day betrayed the gloom of the outside sky. Employees inside the Los Angeles-area gun shop had their hands full chatting with customers who were looking to replenish their ammo supply before July 1, with some customers spending hundreds of dollars in the process. Why the hurry? That's the day a new state law will require almost all buyers to go through background checks before being able to buy bullets, potentially increasing the amount of time and money it takes to make purchases. "We're probably up by 400% from where we were last year for this past month, and this month, in total sales," says Daniel Kash, the store's president. As it is, California has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation   the state bans most assault weapons and restricts the sale and possession of large capacity magazines. There's also a 10-day waiting period prior to the sale or transfer of a firearm, among other restrictions. The passage of Proposition 63, a gun control measure approved, coincidentally, by 63 percent of California voters in 2016, will strengthen those laws by taking aim at the sale of ammo. "Everybody that has a gun ... knows about the law that's upcoming," Kash says. "That's why you see the store being as busy as it is this week for the Father's Day Sale. People are stocking up right now, basically." How will it work? The new law   championed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, a longtime advocate of gun control   is meant to protect the public by keeping ammunition from getting into dangerous hands, the state says. Here's how: Customers will have to receive a background check every time they make an ammunition purchase, paying $1 each time. Those who don't already have their information in the Department of Justice's system for these point-of-sale screenings will have to pay up to $20 for an initial screening. Vendors will have to make sure customers aren't on a DOJ list that names people who are prohibited from buying guns for various reasons   for example, committing a felony   before selling to them. All ammo sales will have to take place in person   even online orders will have to be shipped to a licensed vendor's store before customers can pick them up. Gun owners and enthusiasts aren't happy, arguing that the new law will cost extra time and money. "The biggest question on people's minds is what the process is going to be like, and how burdened someone's going to be, whether it's going to take it a tremendous amount of additional time, or whether it's going to cost them more money," says Alexander Reyes, a manager at Martin B. Retting, a gun shop in Culver City near Los Angeles. Selling semiautomatics: AR-15 advertising speaks to 'macho hyper-masculinity,' gun control advocates say. They want it to stop Advocates, though, remain convinced that the inconvenience to law-abiding gun owners is necessary for the public good. "This is about preventing all forms of gun violence and ensuring we're doing everything we can, through a second-long background check, to ensure that people with the most significant histories of criminal violence, or severe mental health impairments, are not able to access [guns]," says Ari Freilich, the California legislative affairs director for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence in San Francisco. 'Unregulated' ammo sales In a 2016 op-ed in The Sacramento Bee, Newsom wrote that the new law would "treat ammunition sales as gun sales," a measure that, paired with the others in the bill, would help "keep guns and ammo out of the wrong hands." "Although California has led the nation in gun safety laws, those laws still have loopholes that leave communities throughout the state vulnerable to gun violence and mass shootings," the text of the act, drafted by Newsom, reads. "We can close these loopholes while still safeguarding the ability of law abiding, responsible Californians to own guns for self-defense, hunting and recreation." One of those loopholes is the lack of regulations around ammunition purchases, says Amanda Wilcox, the legislation policy chair of Brady California, a state chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. "Prior to any of this, no one knew who was selling ammunition or buying ammunition, ammo sales were completely unregulated," Wilcox says. "You could sell ammunition out of your trunk of your car, anywhere. It was existing law that if you're prohibited from ... purchasing and possessing a gun, you're also prohibited from purchasing ammunition, but there's no way to enforce that law." In other words, Wilcox says, the new measure could help prevent individuals who illegally possess guns from being able to purchase ammunition for them, while simultaneously alerting vendors and law enforcement. "Obviously, we want people who can't pass a background check not to buy ammunition," Wilcox says. "The legislation does that." 'They're going to get it' Some gun owners, however, insist that the new law does little to address illegal activity while unfairly targeting those who already follow the law. "Anyone who is willing to murder innocent people does not have a regard for laws, clearly, and they are able to cross a border to purchase ammunition and violate existing California laws," says Ryan McDonnell, a gun owner from Alameda, east of San Francisco. Due process? Saving lives? Should guns be seized from those who pose threats? More states saying yes to red flag laws Others say the new restrictions will simply encourage gun owners to purchase ammo elsewhere, negatively impacting California vendors. "To me, it's just a way for the government to make more money … people are gonna go other places to get what they need," says Kevin McGlothan of Compton. "They're going to get it regardless, they're just going to go a different way and cut the little man out." Adding to the stir is the reality that gun shops themselves aren't sure how the new law is going to affect the in-store checkout process. "The reality is, the California Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms has said that they're not going to unveil the system, even to us, until July 1," Reyes says. "So even though we have a vague idea … of what the process is going to be like, we still don't 100% know, because we're not going to have access to the system until July 1, same as everybody else." 'A matter of patience' Confusion and resistance aside, Reyes hopes the new state law won't greatly affect the average gun owner. While it's unknown how many people in California fall into that category, three in 10 adults in the United States own guns for self-defense, hunting, sport shooting or collecting, according to the Pew Research Center . A valuable tool, or an invasion of privacy? California could become first to limit facial recognition technology; police aren't happy "The average gun owner is probably not going to be as impacted as they think they're going to be," Reyes says. "But, ultimately, I think people are going to find the inconvenience, and the hassle, and the pain to the wallet … to be the biggest thing." He adds, "There's a ... lack of concrete information and hearsay and gossip and everything. But it all gets straightened out, it's just a matter of patience and dealing with it." Even if the new law doesn't altogether end gun violence, supporters believe in California's vision to provide a path for other states to follow. "We can   and should   have a conversation about increasing our investments in mental health resources," Freilich says. "None of that should also distract us from having a simultaneous conversation about when that person sets out wanting to do violence … It's not an either-or."

The Texas Rangers will host the Kansas City Royals Thursday evening at Arlington. It's their first home game since the untimely death of longtime beat writer and Dallas Morning News writer Gerry Fraley at the age of 64 this past weekend.

Baltimore Police Officer Michael Payne responded to a call and found a woman lying face down in the gutter. Then he saw the pool of blood. Payne knew that much blood meant the 21-year-old would die if he didn't act quickly. He flipped the woman over, revealing a bullet hole near an artery on her upper left thigh. Payne plucked a thick nylon strap from his belt and tugged on the Velcro until it was so snug he couldn't pull anymore. Then, he started cranking the stick. The simple, department-issued tourniquet   along with training and Payne's quick thinking   stopped the blood and saved a young woman's life. "They tell you that during training it'll be just like a faucet, and that once you get it tight enough the blood will just stop," he said. "And it was just like training." The 25-year-old officer assigned to the Western District is one of over 1,000 patrol officers mandated by the Baltimore Police Department to participate in medical training classes that equip officers with life-saving tactics. Officers learn how to pack gunshot wounds, use an EpiPen for an allergic reaction and how to administer Narcan, a drug that can slow the effects of a potential overdose. Each year, Baltimore police officers are required to spend three to four hours receiving in-house medical training. They also have to be certified in two things every other year: CPR and using a defibrillator. The department started the program because police are usually the first to the scene, so having them trained to save lives made sense. Officer Todd Brown said that, before 2015, police would arrive at a scene and make sure it was safe and secure. Then they'd phone for help and hurry up and wait   and hope the ambulance would make it in time. "Our duty is the preservation of life," Brown, 51, said. "So the question became: Once there's no more threat, how do we get care to these people?" Searching for answers As the number of homicides peaked in 2015, police began looking at ways to enhance the program beyond the two certifications. FBI studies produced after mass casualty event like the Boston Marathon bombings and the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, highlighted what kinds of injuries were the most common. Police also studied battle injuries. The department discovered tourniquets were one of the most utilized life-saving devices. So they decided to issue one to every single officer in 2016. "If you look at the type of injuries that most often occur in the streets, they are very similar to battle wounds," Brown said. The department has spent over $30,000 supplying 1,020 tourniquets to those on patrol. Officers have used the tool 18 times since September 2018, the department said, with two of those instances occurring just this past month. Gentry Wilkerson, an ER doctor at the University of Maryland Medical Center, said what the department is doing is the difference between life and death. Waiting for emergency services to arrive and administer medical care isn't always feasible. Plus, the doctor added, applying a tourniquet or administering a dose of Narcan takes seconds and isn't complicated   as long as the individual has been trained. "We live in a city that has not only been hit by the opioid epidemic but the wrath of gun violence," the doctor said. "And officers have the opportunity to protect and serve in a city that really needs it, because being able to provide medical care speaks to that motto." Officers and doctors understand that all the training and equipment is no substitute for EMTs and emergency rooms. But they are equally sure that the emphasis on quick intervention has saved lives already and will save more in the future. "We're not going to rely on them for everything," Wilkerson said. "But I'm thankful they're out there and they're learning these skill sets. They're a piece of the puzzle." Three officers put their training to the test after a 2-year-old and his mother were shot May 3 in Southwest Baltimore. Officers performed CPR on the child and took him to the hospital before an ambulance arrived. They knew he wouldn't survive otherwise. Preparing for anything Those officers and their colleagues have been trained for such situations. Each year officers file into a classroom and listen to an hour-long presentation and video from a certified instructor about the training. Then, the 50 to 60 officers are ushered into another room with five big blue mats sprawled on the floor. Each station is equipped with a mannequin to perform CPR on. About 10 officers gather round each mat at any given time. The curriculum changes each year so officers stay well-rounded. This year was a refresher on CPR, wound care and tourniquets. The officers practice with the tourniquets on one another   and on themselves because, Brown said, "you never know when you might find yourself shot in the line of duty." Instructors emphasized attaching the velcro tool to the front of an officer's belt. If they're injured, they might not be able to reach behind their back. In the beginning of 2018, the department began offering a more advanced "tactical medical class" where patrol officers learn to care for more severe wounds. They also learn how to insert a tube into a person's nose to help them breathe. Officers are then allowed to carry individual first aid kits that have combat gauze and a chest seal. For a gunshot wound, officers learn to pack it like hands on a clock, with the 3-6-9-12 method. They apply pressure for 3 to 5 minutes and repeat the process if the bleeding hasn't stopped. Brown estimates 75 percent of the patrol force has gone through the training. But only 500 of those who are trained actually carry the $100 IFAKs. The department just ordered 1,000 more kits. Since the training was implemented, the department has mandated that new recruits go through the tactical medical course. The remaining 25 percent of the patrol employees will be scheduled to go through the eight-hour training that's hosted once a week, though Brown said there is no deadline to get everyone trained. The training can't come soon enough. In the Western District, where Payne patrols, there have been 11 homicides this month alone. The district has recorded the most killings in the city this year, and had the most in 2018. Payne, who's been with the department for five years, said the May 15 shooting of the young woman in the 1300 block of W. North Ave was the first time he had to use his first aid training with a tourniquet. But he said he wasn't surprised to help save the woman   it's the new normal for this to be part of an officer's job. "I wasn't nervous," he said. "I just had the training last month, so I felt very prepared." moxenden@baltsun.com twitter.com/mack_oxenden


Video by KTLA-TV Los Angeles Three members of a family involved in a violent brawl that was captured on video at Disneyland earlier this month have been charged in connection with the melee, Orange County prosecutors said Tuesday. Police were called to the park July 6 after a verbal confrontation between family members escalated into a physical fight. Police did not witness the fight and did not make any arrests at the time, but launched a formal investigation days later after video of the incident surfaced online, Anaheim police Sgt. Daron Wyatt said. Prosecutors say Avery Robinson, 35, attacked his sister, brother-in-law and girlfriend, endangering his child and three other children who were at the park with the family during the fight. Robinson was charged with corporal injury on a spouse, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of criminal threats, all felonies. He also is facing five counts of misdemeanor battery and four counts of child abuse and endangerment, according to Orange County Superior Court records. Robinson was arrested Saturday and is being held without bail in Orange County Jail in Santa Ana. He faces a maximum sentence of seven years and four months in state prison if convicted. Robinson's sister, Andrea Nicole Robinson, 40, of Compton was charged with four misdemeanor counts of battery and a misdemeanor count of assault. Prosecutors say she attacked her brother, his girlfriend and a Disneyland employee. She faces a maximum of 2½ years in jail if convicted. Andrea Robinson's husband, Daman Petrie, also was charged in the melee. The Compton resident is facing a misdemeanor count and a maximum of six months in jail after prosecutors said he punched Avery Robinson's girlfriend in the face during the scuffle. Andrea Robinson and Petrie have not been arrested, according to jail records. The melee, which was recorded on cellphone video, shows an argument between the Robinson siblings in front of Goofy's Playhouse. Avery Robinson takes a swing at his sister after she spits in his face, the video shows. Children are heard crying in the background as the adults continue to scuffle. Over the next five minutes, several members of the family become involved in the fight before Disneyland security officers arrive, the video shows. Some on social media criticized Disneyland's response to the violence as too slow, while others have questioned the overall safety of the park. Disneyland officials have said their security staff responded appropriately and the individuals involved in the fight were removed from the park. "Any type of violence is inexcusable and will not be tolerated," Disneyland spokeswoman Liz Jaeger said at the time. "Disneyland Resort security responded appropriately within minutes and immediately called the Anaheim Police Department for assistance." After the group was escorted from the property, prosecutors said Robinson threatened to kill his sister and brother-in-law, simulating a gun with his hand, inside the parking structure. He also tried to hit a Disneyland employee with his car, authorities said.

Stephanie McLaurin heard the news about her daughter late Monday night. She said her daughter, Elaisha Mayes, had just left home in a car with Tyler Wellwood and her best friend, Abby Allen. McLaurin said Mayes and Allen bickered over who wanted to sit in the front passenger seat. McLaurin never expected a call from the South Carolina Highway Patrol later that Monday night, June 10. "I was praying to God it wasn't nothing that wrong with her, maybe it was a fender bender or something like that," McLaurin said. State troopers said Wellwood was behind the wheel of the car. Troopers said he was speeding when he lost control of the vehicle and ran off the road. The car ran into a guardrail, hit a utility pole and then hit a tree on Highway 25 near the intersection of Portsmouth Road. Allen was killed in the crash. Wellwood was charged with reckless homicide and put in jail on $100,000 bond. He has since satisfied his bond and is set to be released. "The pain she's going through is more than just physical," McLaurin said. "I just want her to be Elaisha again, but that's not going to happen I don't think, not 100%. She'll always have the pain from her spine injuries. She's going to have the mental issues from seeing her best friend in the front seat." Mayes now lies on a mattress in her family's living room, her neck supported by a brace and casts wrapped around her body. She lives a life of pain, spending several days a week in physical therapy. Mayes said she did not remember anything regarding the wreck. Her mother tells WYFF News 4 she received a broken spine at the bottom of her skull, a broken femur, pelvis and fractured ankle. McLaurin said she's ready to accept the responsibility of helping her daughter heal. She said she's grateful her daughter is still alive. "It's brought us closer together," McLaurin said. "It's made her look at life a bit differently now. She appreciates it more, but she lost her best friend. They were really close. For her to be alive, it means a new beginning for her to be the mom she needs to be for her baby and unborn baby."

The #Packers explored a trade of Mike Daniels, source adds, but couldn't make it happen. He was due $8.1m this season in base salary and roster bonuses. The #Browns , with all their former GB connections, figure to at least take a look after trying to sign Gerald McCoy. - Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) July 24, 2019 The Green Bay Packers attempted to trade veteran defensive lineman Mike Daniels before deciding to release him Wednesday, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel confirmed the Packers shopped Daniels to other NFL teams. There were no takers. Daniels' combination of age, contract and recent injury history likely scared off teams from finalizing a deal with the Packers. Daniels turned 30 in May and was due a base salary of $7.6 million - with a total cap hit of $10.7 million - in 2019. He is also coming off a foot injury that ended his 2018 season prematurely. Still, cutting Daniels couldn't have been easy for the Packers. The former fourth-round pick is a fiery, emotional defender who worked hard to become a core player and Pro Bowler for the Packers defense. Now, the Packers will part ways with Daniels without any compensation in return, other than freed up cap space. Mike Pettine's defense will move forward with Kenny Clark, Dean Lowry, Montravius Adams, Tyler Lancaster, rookie Kingsley Keke and several others along the defensive line. Garafolo reports the Cleveland Browns will likely inquire about adding Daniels. Several other teams, including the Seattle Seahawks, could also be interested.

TOKYO, May 16 (Reuters) - Warships from France, Japan, Australia and the United States held their first ever combined naval exercise on Thursday, in a new show of force in Asian waters by the United States and its allies who are wary of China's growing power. The French aircraft carrier, FS Charles de Gaulle and its escorts, were joined in the Bay of Bengal by five other naval vessels, including a Japanese helicopter carrier, a U.S. guided missile destroyer and an Australian submarine. They practiced formation sailing, live fire drills, and search and rescue, according to a news release from the U.S. Seventh Fleet. As China's military power grows in the region, the United States and Japan are looking to forge stronger defense ties with other countries in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, including France and the Britain, that could help counterbalance China's expanding influence. The Japanese carrier, the Izumo, and the U.S. destroyer, the USS William P. Lawrence, last week joined vessels from India and the Philippines for exercises in the South China Sea, most of which China claims. Those maneuvers in waters through which around a third of the world's maritime trade flows, came after two other U.S. warships sailed near islands in the region claimed by China, prompting a protest from Beijing. China claims almost all of the strategic South China Sea with Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam pushing competing claims to parts of it. The United States, Japan, France and Australia do not have any territorial claims there. (Reporting by Tim Kelly; Editing by Michael Perry)


Right winger Chris Wagner summarized the Bruins' season in the context of their 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final at the Garden. Wagner was the only player in attendance at Monday morning's press briefing with general manager Don Sweeney and head coach Bruce Cassidy . "To get to just that one game," Wagner said. "You are one of the last two teams in a league full of parity, and that's an accomplishment itself because the league gets tougher every year. "The grind is so long mentally and physically, and you don't have anything to show for it. You still lost like every other team besides the Blues." Wagner was part the Bruins fourth-line rotation that included Joakim Nordstrom , Sean Kuraly and Noel Acciari . Wagner appeared in 12 games in the Bruins' three Eastern Conference series against the Maple Leafs, Blue Jackets and Hurricanes, averaging 12:33 of ice time with two goals. Wagner's season came to an end in the third period of the Bruins' 2-1 victory against the Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on May 14. Wagner suffered a right wrist injury blocking a shot by defenseman Justin Faulk and left the arena with his arm in a sling. Wagner talked about undergoing surgery to repair the damage, and he clung to the false hope of competing against the Blues. "I had surgery on wrist, my ulna was displaced," Wagner said. "A couple of plates, a couple of screws, and I tried to come back pretty quick, fought to comeback, and that (Game 7) was the last possible day I could have been available. "It was a great job by the doctors just to get to that point. Initially I was done, and then it was healing so well and I just wanted to be an option for Game 7." Chara on mend Bruins defenseman and captain Zdeno Chara received a standing ovation from the Garden crowd during introductions for Game 5 against the Blues. Chara suffered a broken jaw in the second period of Game 4 in St. Louis. Chara, 42, attempted to block a slap shot by Blues center Brayden Schenn , but the ricochet caught his face flush, and he fell bleeding to the ice. Sweeney said Chara had also been dealing with an elbow issue that will require surgery. "Zdeno is having a small procedure done to his elbow to take out some loose fragment inside," Sweeney said. "He will have that done this week and move forward and allow that to recover along with the obvious one in his jaw." Sweeney said Anders Bjork was making progress after undoing season-ending surgery of his left shoulder in January. Defensemen Kevan Miller (knee) had surgery and John Moore (broken humerus) will in the near future. Acciari (broken sternum), David Backes (assorted ailments), Nordstrom (broken foot) and Patrice Bergeron (groin) are undergoing "secondary tests." See you in the fall The Bruins' laundry list of injured played combined with a short offseason and simple attrition presents Cassidy with additional challenges and new faces when training camp opens in September. Cassidy had the chance to observe several young players who were associated with the Black Aces, the group of minor leaguers who practiced with the team and helped with the playoff run. Despite the Bruins' success in the playoffs, Sweeney and Cassidy concurred there will be job vacancies and the opportunity to upgrade. "Father Time gets everybody," Sweeney said.

For a large number of users and mental health professionals, the utilization of Instagram has raised several problems, such as its relentless emphasis on promoting unachievable lifestyles. And this reason is making people so miserable these days. Instagram, which skyrocketed to fame in the previous years, encourages its users to have upbeat, attractive images that other users may find, at best, giving the wrong impression. Even celebrities like Madonna and Selena Gomez shared the dark side of this social media platform. While Facebook demonstrates how everyone can be tedious and Twitter shows how people have their views on things, then Instagram can impose a sense of worry that everyone who possesses a visually appealing feed can achieve perfection. For the past years, people have grown accustomed to refreshing a page even if it is not necessary and receiving hundreds of messages, both positive and negative ones. These situations have made Instagram a place where reality is dismissed. It creates a fictionalized world for those who seek the faultless. Because of this need to construct a flawless version of things in one's life, the attention given to editing tools has increased. If not with the helping hand of applications that can perform basic tasks like removing blemishes and other unwanted features, Photoshop takes center stage since it helps individuals achieve an unrealistically flawless appearance. In 2017, the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), an independent charity that continually seeks ways to better the lives of people, conducted an extensive survey on 14- to 24-year-olds, asking them about the repercussions of some of the most known social media platforms, including Instagram. As expected, Instagram scored particularly severely for its effects on body image and mental health as a whole. Continuous scrolling without much interaction with other people in the household can lead to a serious impact on one's well-being . People who frequently use this platform may develop an unhealthy body image and may cause a heightened feeling of loneliness. Overall, social media create detachedness, not just from ourselves, but from the rest of the world. It widens the distance between the users and their friends and family in real life.

The thin, bumpy dirt road leading to Cerro Gordo, an isolated ghost town in California's Inyo Mountains, is eight miles long and takes nearly 45 minutes to navigate. The town is just over 200 miles north of Los Angeles and resembles a 300-acre playground for Wild West reenactments. Except Brent Underwood, a 31-year-old owner of a hostel , has a different vision: He wants to turn Cerro Gordo into a luxury travel destination. To make it happen, he and his business partner, Jon Bier, purchased the place for $1.4 million in 2018 with help from an eclectic group of investors, ranging from Netflix and Hulu executives to a UFC fighter. One year and an extra $400,000 in renovations later, however, and the pair are now realizing why so many dreamers before them have failed to turn the town into a sustainable business. The nearest city is nearly 50 miles away, making even routine purchases an inconvenience. Only three of the 22 buildings have running water, sourced from a 2,500 gallon water tank. All of it has to be trucked from a town about an hour away. Replacing the broken water pump under the town would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and skyrocket their budget. While restoring the town has its challenges, Underwood isn't new to the real estate business. The Columbia graduate lived in and operated a small backpacking hostel in New York City after an abrupt career change, and he currently lives in Austin, Texas, where he operates HK Austin , a popular hostel constructed from a 19th-century Victorian mansion. That project led Underwood and Bier to think bigger   and to Cerro Gordo. More from Invest in You: Why are some people people so much better at saving? They know some tricks you don't know Here's how to feel richer with the money you already have The town's name is Spanish for "Fat Hill" and was coined by the Mexican miners who first found silver there in 1865. The town quickly grew to house thousands of miners flocking to the area, but the boom was short-lived. Mining operations dried up by 1877. The town would see a few small-scale revivals during the early 1900s but has remained deserted for nearly 100 years. Underwood's goal was to have the town ready by Halloween 2019 , but the pair still have a ways to go before its grand reopening. It currently costs about $10,000 a month to run, including loan payments, utilities, satellite Wi-Fi and payroll. Since they can't provide accommodations right now, the pair joined the newly launched Airbnb Adventures to offer guests the chance to book an exclusive weekend to relive the past of the Wild West. The partnership could make for good timing as 74% of Americans report valuing experiences over products or things, according to research from Expedia. The journey from deserted town to luxury resort may be just as long and rocky as the road to Cerro Gordo itself, but that's not stopping Underwood   watch as he presents his vision for his $1.4 million ghost town.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry convinced all of us of just how strong of a turnaround he was capable of making toward the end of the 2018 season. The rusher, who had spent the majority of the season playing second fiddle to former New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis, was suddenly able to record a record-breaking year filled with personal bests at the tail-end of the year. If he continues that momentum into 2019, he'll not only continue to be a huge factor on offense, but could make some serious contributions to your fantasy team as well. CBS Sports' Dave Richard pegged Henry as a player with potential to have a breakout season in a fantasy football preview article with focus on the Titans. "What are the prerequisites for a stud running back? Fifteen-plus touches per week with consistent carries at the goal line is a good start," he wrote. "Henry is being aimed for at least that role, if not something even more involved as the Titans try to build on his late-2018 success. Henry's missed one game in five years (three in the pros, two at Alabama) and has the Titans offense in the palm of his hand. He has top-12 upside." In 2018, Henry recorded 215 carries for 1,059 yards and 12 touchdowns. In the same article, Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was named as a possible bust, while tight end Delanie Walker was called a sleeper. Fantasy football tends to be unpredictable and sometimes come down more to luck than strategy, so it will be interesting to see how closely Richard's predictions match production by the end of the year.

Dozens of Central Iowans gathered on Monday to honor the victims of deadly mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Thirty-one people died in the shootings. About 100 people gathered outside the Dallas County Courthouse in Adel for a candlelight vigil as faith leaders and community members addressed the crowd. The vigil was a-political, but some attendees voiced their concern for ending gun violence. Organizer Bryce Smith said gun violence across the country hits home in small communities like Adel. "Although it might not, this might not strike close to some, others … they're dealing with this up front and personal while we're here tonight," Smith said. In Des Moines, Mayor Frank Cownie discussed the attacks during Monday's City Council meeting. Des Moines City Council held a moment of silence during the meeting. "Prior to coming to this meeting, I was on the phone with mayors of El Paso and Dayton and it was a tough conversation. The 22 lives lost in El Paso and the 9 lost in Dayton, this is the kind of thing we don't want to happen in the US or Des Moines, Iowa." Cownie said he is committed to encouraging lawmakers to come together and find real solutions to these attacks.

A large number of former NBA players have flocked to the BIG3 in the league's third year of existence from multi-time All-Stars like Amar'e Stoudemire to all-time great characters such as Nate Robinson. As much as the league is about quality basketball, it's largely about entertainment, and Glen "Big Baby" Davis put that on display on Sunday. After being called for a technical foul and consistently berating a referee, Davis was ejected from his game. And then he proceeded to take off his jersey and shorts, tossing them into the crowd. Watch the full, UNCUT clip of Big Baby stripping down after being ejected from the game 😱😱😱 We'll see you next week LIVE on CBS in Providence and New York! pic.twitter.com/SOKRbHTT44   BIG3 on CBS (@thebig3) July 7, 2019 Davis earned his nickname   which he's not a huge fan of   at age 9 when he had to play kids three years his elder because of his size and felt he was bullied. But whenever he would complain, his coach would say, " Stop crying, you big baby ." It looks like Davis still has that complaining spirit in him, given how much he was jawing at the ref. He eventually got tossed for using salty language   "That's a bulls--- a-- call!"   and didn't leave without a show. Davis is far from the first player to lose his jersey while leaving for the locker room, but this is a new highlight. And the fans clearly love it too by the ovation. Big Baby Glen Davis stripping down after he got ejected is one of the funniest moments in @thebig3 history so far 🤣 pic.twitter.com/jv2RAQYmLS   DJ Skee (@djskee) July 7, 2019 Davis may not be headed back to the NBA   or at least aspire to return   like Stoudemire and others, but at the very least, he should continue to provide the BIG3 the color and spirit it needs to thrive.

With the rumors and reports of Jets G.M. Mike Maccagnan being on the outs coming to fruition, related rumors and reports need to be taken more seriously than they may have been. Here's what we wrote when the rumors of Maccagnan getting fired first emerged: "Some have pointed to the decision to sign running back Le'Veon Bell as the biggest sticking point between Gase and Maccagnan . (Or, more accurately, the decision to pay Bell as much as the Jets did, given that the Jets likely could have gotten him for significantly less.) Bell's decision to skip a voluntary minicamp this week gave Gase plenty of ammunition for a round of I told you so's within the team's facility." Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News now reports that Gase didn't want Bell at all . Although the more accurate explanation would be that Gase didn't want Bell at that price, the point remains that Gase wasn't on board with the decision to break the bank for the former Pittsburgh tailback. With Bell still absent from offseason workouts, the report makes an already awkward relationship even more awkward, and Gase and Bell could have a hard time getting and staying on the same page. It will be for Gase to make Bell believe Gase wanted the player. And it will be for Gase to realize that what he wanted currently doesn't matter, and that the best play will be to do whatever needs to be done to get the most out of Bell moving forward.


Mecole Hardman is an exciting option in the Kansas City Chiefs offensive repertoire, with the versatility to make plays on offense, but also in special teams as part of the return game. As time draws near until the first preseason game on Saturday, there are still questions remaining to be answered regarding his official role. Hardman's first training camp is moving along well after catching the eye of his head coach Andy Reid's attention during Monday's practice. "He's a smart kid," said Reid. "I think it was just him getting used to the speed of the game. And then every route here, there's no route that's off. Not with a quarterback like we have. You have to run hard on everything. It might look like a clearing route, but you can't take it that way. That's not how it works." The former University of Georgia standout was shaken up after a big hit during Sunday's practice and was forced to leave the field. However, Hardman showed some grit returning to the huddle after regaining his bearings. He earned the appreciation of Reid watching from the sidelines. "I think it scared him more than anything," Reid explained. "You've got about 600 pounds laying on his ankles. But he was able to bounce back. He's a tough kid. Played at a good school against good teams. It's not the first time that he's been hit, but I think it was that initial, 'Wow, I just had a whole load land on me.' But he got right back in, so you give him credit for that." As a young wide receiver in the league Hardman is tasked with learning Reid's complex playbook. Coach commented on the 21 year old's ability to pick up the new terminology, offensive routes and play calls. "I think he had to get used to everything being fast," Reid said. "There are certain ways you set things up, but it is still fast. There are no plays off. When you're a receiver in this offense, it's not going to be all hitch routes. You're going to run a couple of plays down the field. I think (General Manager) Brett (Veach) had a good read on that. He's a good route-runner now. The things we're asking him to do, some of those things he didn't have to do. He was kind of their stretch guy down the field, the around guy, jet sweep guy for them. We're asking him to do all of the short and intermediate stuff too, things over the middle. That's something that's new for him." Hardman spoke optimistically about his growth in the offense so far in camp and the differences from the college game. "Probably just the speed," Hardman said. "It's faster than college, but other than that, it's football. You play, you learn, you practice, and practice makes perfect. It's all the same thing, just a little faster. In this offense anybody can hit at any time, any position, it doesn't matter if you're the designated target in that play or whatever, anything can happen. That's why all of our roster is live. Like I said, learning more positions it helps you out, getting the ball. You don't just have to be at this position. Now it's like 'Oh I'm everywhere, I can get it at any time.' That's how I'm looking at it." The Chiefs hope to see Hardman replicate some of the success he had in college, as another speedy weapon for QB Patrick Mahomes. He should come in and make life even easier on an offense that was already living large.

CHICAGO - Three people were stabbed outside Chicago's Navy Pier Thursday night after Fourth of July fireworks and 14 other people were trampled in a "stampede" sparked by gunfire warnings that turned out to be unfounded, according to Chicago police. The fight broke out among a group of males after some of them flashed gang signs around 10:10 p.m. in the 600 block of East Grand Avenue, police said. A 14-year-old boy was stabbed in the arm and rib, and another boy, 15, was stabbed in the armpit. They were both taken to Lurie Children's Hospital, where they were stabilized. A 30-year-old man who was not part of the brawl was stabbed in the face. He did not remember who attacked him or how he ended up injured, police said. Another boy, 16, whom paramedics initially thought was shot, actually suffered a puncture wound from an overturned table while running. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and stabilized there. It was not immediately clear if he was part of the fight. There was no evidence of shots fired or someone being shot, Chicago police Sgt. Rocco Alioto told reporters at a press briefing. Police believe someone threw firecrackers at Navy Pier and others yelled "gun" or "shots fired," spurring a "stampede" that injured 14 people. Their injuries were not life-threatening, Alioto said. Some of the fleeing crowd swarmed the lakefront restaurant Harry Caray's Tavern for at least 10 minutes to escape what they believed was a shooter, according to two servers who work there. Rachel Schar said she was collecting credit cards from a party table when she heard screaming, people running on the pavement outside and shouts about a gun and stabbings. Some people rushed into the restaurant and knocked her down. After getting up, she sprinted upstairs into an office with security cameras streaming the pandemonium below her. "It was pure chaos," said the 22-year-old. "I literally thought I was going to die." Schar's friend and co-worker, Ashley Calvillo, said she was by the front of the restaurant when there were shouts about a gunman. Another server grabbed her and pulled her inside a closet. Young kids were crying and parents were desperately searching for their lost children. Hostesses hid under tables. "I was worried for Rachel because she's one of my closest friends working tonight," Calvillo, 21, said. "The people were getting crazy, and I haven't seen Rachel. We're yelling through the restaurant, 'Where's Rachel? Where's Rachel?' " Calvillo said she ran out the closet, only to have a manager gather her and other workers inside the kitchen. There, she saw guests trying to hide in the freezer and storage area, she said. Someone finally went upstairs and told Schar the restaurant was safe. Some of the workers tended to people who had fled the pier, allowing them to rest by the dining area before going home. Calvillo said the inside of Harry Caray's was a jumble of toppled furniture and silverware. More than a dozen pairs of shoes in all sizes were left on the ground. Some patrons even left their strollers in the mad rush to leave. "The aftermath is that the whole restaurant is wrecked," Calvillo said. Outside, more than a dozen ambulances inched through traffic on Lake Shore Drive, where police squad cars closed off several exits. Two men scolded a driver on Ontario Street who wasn't pulling over to allow an ambulance through. Streams of pedestrians lined the street-level and underground sidewalks for more than an hour after the crowds at Navy Pier dispersed. Later in the night, Schar and Calvillo waited for an Uber ride home a few blocks west of Navy Pier, both still in their uniforms. Schar recalled how all day, security had searched every visitor's bag and conducted pat-downs. But the thought of a mass shooting targeting people watching the Fourth of July fireworks hadn't escaped her mind, even before the show began. "I hate to say this, but honestly ever since mass shootings have been a common thing, I feel like I'm always looking around," Schar said. "Constantly, everywhere I go I feel like I need to know what my plan is if something did happen." Schar said she dreads going back to Navy Pier, but she doesn't want her fears to stop her from showing up to work on Friday. She planned to text her mother when she got home. "She's going to watch the news and this is going to be the most frightening thing for her to hear," Schar said. "You don't think it's going to happen to you until it does." Police said they were looking for two male suspects in the stabbings that sparked the mayhem. No arrests have been made. Visit the Chicago Tribune at www.chicagotribune.com


2019 Honda CR-V Touring Highs: Strong turbo engine, responsive handling, lots of cargo space. Lows: Noisy engine, clunky shifter, not as efficient as the Forester. Research the Honda CR-V on MSN Autos 2019 Subaru Forester Touring Highs: Smooth ride, great visibility, attractive cabin, stingy on fuel. Lows: Slow, floppy handling, annoying driver-attention monitor. Within the compact-crossover class, both the 2019 Honda CR-V and the 2019 Subaru Forester are high-profile stalwarts that float toward the top of a crowded and hotly contested segment. As one of Honda's big sales guns, nearly 380,000 CR-Vs found homes last year. While Subaru moves only about half that many Foresters, the brand's conservative development approach means that Subie devotees should continue to find the fresh-for-2019 Forester entirely agreeable. Setting brand loyalties aside, which of these two is actually the better small SUV? Research the Subaru Forester | Find a Subaru Forester near you The Matchup To find out, we lined up top-level Touring models of each and broke out our microscopes. All Foresters come standard with all-wheel drive, but adding it to a CR-V tacks on an extra $1400, which brought the as-tested prices of our two examples to near parity at a smidge more than $35K. Neither vehicle offers any factory options other than paint color at this loaded level. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the entry-level CR-V LX starts at $25,395 versus $25,270 for the starter Forester 2.5i. Aside from their different engine formulas-a 190-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four in the Honda to the Subaru's 182-hp naturally aspirated 2.5-liter flat-four-both test vehicles are remarkably similar on paper. Both have continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) and a 29-mpg combined fuel-economy estimate from the EPA. Their exterior dimensions and five-seat interior packaging are pretty much the same. And at this price point, both come well stocked with convenience amenities, plentiful touchscreen infotainment tech, and each brand's suite of active-safety gear, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, automatic forward emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist. The CR-V's anti-collision warning system is easier to excite into action than the Forester's, sometimes annoyingly so (something we also noticed with our long-term 2018 Honda Accord). But the Subaru's standard DriverFocus driver-attention monitor is equally quick to yell at you if it thinks your eyes are wandering away from the road. On the Road With the Honda's modest weight advantage over the Subaru combined with its greater abundance of low-end torque-179 lb-ft peaking at 2000 rpm versus the Forester's similar twisting might peaking at 4400 revs-the CR-V's 7.4-second zero-to-60-mph time is more than a second fleeter than the Subie's. But it's also noisier, emitting a 77-decibel groan at full throttle that only drops to 72 decibels at a 70-mph cruise. Both readings are 4 decibels louder than in the Forester, although Honda's CVT does limit high-rpm droning better than Subaru's does. The Forester earns marks for its better stopping performance from 70 mph-168 feet to the CR-V's 176-as well as for its 32-mpg return on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, 1 mpg less than its EPA highway estimate. The CR-V only managed 29 mpg, 4 mpg less than its EPA highway score. Both SUVs go down the road with good overall competence and comfort, although the Subaru offers a more relaxing temperament for cruising with its plush ride quality and expansive greenhouse that makes for excellent visibility. The Honda is by no means rough-riding or hard to see out of in comparison, yet it does respond better to pavement undulations and directional changes when being chucked into corners. Along with linear and precise steering, there's a feeling of responsiveness and composed body motions in the CR-V that are lacking in the Forester, which is better suited to plodding along with traffic. While neither of these utes is in any way performance oriented, we like the CR-V's willingness to be driven spiritedly without incurring serious compromises elsewhere. The Inside View Honda has given the latest CR-V's cabin a rather clean and straightforward design layout, with its greatest demerit being the large, clunky shift lever poking out of the dash, which doesn't feel up to par with the rest of the cabin. Aside from some cheap-looking fake-wood trim, this is a solidly assembled and attractive environment. The Forester feels similarly good inside, has a less obtrusive shifter on the console, and is dotted with pleasant materials, albeit ones that come together with a bit more complexity. The Subaru makes the stronger initial presentation of the two, and the Touring's 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system (a 6.5-inch unit is standard) is more responsive and better organized than the Honda's 7.0-inch unit, which lacks the tuning knob of the brand's latest system found in the Accord. The similarities between the CR-V and Forester extend behind the front seats to airy and comfortable rear quarters that are equally capable of housing two adults with ease and three abreast for shorter trips. Both SUVs have rear climate-control vents and power outlets in the back of their center consoles, although the Subaru also features heated outboard rear seats whereas the CR-V does not. With its greater front-seat space, the Forester caters more to passengers in terms of overall space. The Honda is slightly more adept at hauling cargo, thanks to its larger storage cubbies throughout and five additional cubic feet of cargo space in back. We squeezed 10 carry-on suitcases behind the CR-V's second row and 25 with the seats folded. The Forester can accommodate 11 carry-ons behind its rear seats but only 23 behind the fronts. The Bottom Line With much to like and so little between them, you can't really go wrong with either the Honda CR-V or the Subaru Forester. Both are excellent examples of modern compact SUVs. But the Honda is more powerful and satisfying to operate as a vehicle while remaining perfectly agreeable, which is a quality we appreciate even in basic driving appliances. Along with its well-rounded list of attributes, that's enough for the CR-V to edge out the Forester in our ranking of the segment .

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Chris Wondolowski scored four times to pass Landon Donovan for most career MLS goals, and the San Jose Earthquakes beat the Chicago Fire 4-1 on Saturday. Wondolowski tied Donovan's record at 145 with his first goal in the 21st minute. Shea Salinas sent in a curling pass that Wondolowski punched home from just inside the 6-yard box. He has shined with little fanfare - just the way ''Wondo'' prefers it as he focuses on the preparation he still so enjoys and being an example for young teammates - playing at home in the Bay Area, having grown up in the East Bay suburb of Danville. He went to college at tiny Division II Chico State, not part of an elite youth national team program. He didn't even make his debut with the U.S. national team until six days before his 28th birthday in January 2011. The 36-year-old two-time Golden Boot winner (2010, 2012) broke the record in the 48th minute with a left-footed punch from close range to the upper corner after poaching a loose ball from goalkeeper David Ousted as he tried to control a shot by knocking it down. ''I love visualization, I love going through different things. I always pictured hitting a 30-yard blast going upper 90, didn't really picture the goalkeeper dropping it and tapping it in, but I'll take it,'' Wondolowski said. ''Honestly, I'm just having fun right now. It's kind of rejuvenated, reignited this passion and I'm really having fun right now.'' ''It was an honor to play with and against you (at)ChrisWondo Congrats on an incredibly well deserved achievement,'' Donovan posted on Twitter. Wondolowski added goals in the 74th and 76th minutes, finishing assists from Cristian Espinoza and Jackson Yueill to make it 4-0 for the Quakes (4-6-2). Wondolowski hadn't scored a goal so far this season coming into the match but ended the day with 148 career goals. Wondolowski's teammates tossed him in the air. He high-fived fans on a rainy Bay Area day as soaked supporters chanted ''Won-do! Won-do!'' Passing someone like Donovan, widely considered the best player in MLS history, means so much . Dating to last season, the Quakes tracked each Wondolowski goal in the lead-up to the record-breaker on social media with ''Wondo Watch.'' He had to wait until this season, perhaps a good thing after a lost year in 2018 for San Jose. Former Argentina midfielder and Guadalajara Chivas coach Matias Almeyda is now in charge. ''It's looming just `cause it's there, but to be honest this year has been so much fun,'' Wondolowski said. ''I think that this coaching staff and this locker room have reignited that passion and a love for the game and I'm just enjoying it out there. I'm going out there not to score goals, I'm going out there because it's fun.'' Other Bay Area professional teams were among those to offer congratulations, including the San Jose Sharks, Oakland Athletics and two-time defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors. Wondolowski will long be remembered for a miss at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He failed to score from close range in the final minute of second-half stoppage time as the Americans were eliminated with a 2-1 extra-time loss to Belgium in the round of 16. He sailed that one-touch try wide and over the crossbar as the goalkeeper charged out. Aleksandar Katai scored with a long-distance shot in the 83rd minute for the Fire (4-5-4). --- More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/tag/apf-Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports
