Hsvx Craig Fallon, former world judo champion, dead at 36 The first eruption in 38 years of the worlds largest active volcano is attracting onlookers to a national park for spectacular views of the event, and it s also dredging up bad memories among some Hawaii residents who have been through harrowing volcanic experiences in the past.It was just four years ago that Nicole Skilling fled her home near a community where more than 700 residences were destroyed by lava. She relocated to the South Kona area, only to find herself packing her car with food and supplies this week after Mauna Loa erupted late Sunday.Officials were initially concerned that lava flowing down the side of the volcano would head toward South Kona, but scientists later assured the public that the eruption migrated to a rift zone on Mauna Loa s northeast flank and wasn t threatening any communities.Still, the uncertainty is somewhat unnerving. It just happened last night, so I really havent had a lot of time to worry about it yet, basically, Skilling said Monday. And thankfully, right now, its at the northeast rift zone. But if it breaks on the west side, thats when were talking about coming into a large populated area. ... Thats why I do have a little bit of PTSD. Even though there were no evacuation orders, some people decided to leave their homes, prompting officials to open shelters in the Kona and Kau areas. Very few if any stayed in them overnight, Hawaii County May or Mitch Roth said, and they would be closing Tuesday.Despite that, some in the area were p Usii Daily COVID-19 vaccinations in Fla. have the dose availability to double with next week s allocation Following guidance from the Health and Human Services Secretary and CDC Director to increase who is eligible for the COVI D-19 vaccine, states are now dealing with a chaotic situation with a surge of people trying to find a shot. And now, multiple governors are saying the promised increased shipments of the vaccine are not coming from the federal government.On Tuesday, Secretary Alex Azar announced the government would no longer hold back vaccine reserves meant for the second doses of the vaccines, which would practically double the supply to states. He also told states, because of the increased supply, to immediately start vaccinating groups lower down the priority scale, like people who are 65 or younger with certain health concerns.However, Friday morning, the Washington Post, along with a handful of governors, report there is no vaccine reserve, and no increased supply of vaccine is coming for states who have now increased the number of people eligible for the shot. Several states have been informed of the discrepancy, and are now scrambling.Oregon s Governor, Kate Brown, tweeted about how she found out on Friday. Last night, I received disturbing news, confirmed to me directly by General Perna of Operatio n Warp Speed: States will not be receiving increased shipments of vaccines from the national stockpile next week, because there is no federal reserve of doses, her tweet reads.

Dzzd Georgia man pulls of XXL panty-raid worth $2,000 A year after Roe v. Wade was overturned, the U.S. is facing a shortage of OB-GYN doctors. It s only expected to get worse in the years ahead as medical students make decisions on what and where to practice, in part, based on states abortion laws.Erin Duggey is a third-year medical student in Florida, but unless things change, she said that is not where she wants to be a doctor. It s just not the environment I really want to be in, the future OB-GYN told CBS News. Students like Duffey are increasingly steering clear of OB-GYN resid encies in states with abortion bans.Applicants in those states plummeted more than 10% since Roe v. Wade was overturned, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. Some are even deciding to avoid the specialty altogether, worried about the ability to practice evidence-based medicine. There s also the big concern of the possibility of being legally prosecuted, Duffey said.Dr. Nicole Scott, the director of the OB-GYN residency program at Indiana University School of Medicine, said she has already seen a drop in applications. What I m especially worried about is the retention of those doctors once they re finished training and their practice after residence, Scott said. This can put the health of all women at risk, as OB-GYNs also screen for cancer, perform well-woman exams and prescribe contraception. Dr. Amelia Huntsberger was practicing in Idaho, where most abortions are ban Khfe Giants, Cardinals advance to NLCS NEW YORK -- When the doors opened at this year s New York International Auto Show, CBS News got a sneak peek at the latest state-of-the-art automotive technology and design. CNET Editor-at-Large Tim Stevens t ook a tour the insides of two of Detroit s top sedans -- Ca dillac and Lincoln.One of Cadillac s luxury cars that debuted was its latest flagship model, the 2016 Cadillac CT6. With 400 horsepower under the hood, there s more to the car than its modern, breathtaking exterior. On the inside of course there is leather everywhere, but there are also some racier touches, Stevens said, pointing to the brushed aluminum trim and carbon fiber on the dashboard. But the more interesting thing is its latest in-vehicle Cadillac User Experience CUE infotainment system, Stevens said. CUE pairs data from Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices, USBs, SD cards and MP3 players with the system. Through the 8-inch touchscreen in the car, the users can navigate through the functions, which include receiving and sending text messages, or even streaming audio.Another American luxury car that had crowds of people hovering towards it was the Lincoln Continental. It shows us a new direction of design for Lincoln, Stevens said. It s long and low, and it s beautiful. It s kind of radical looking compared to current Lincolns. Even more radical is the interior design. Inside the Continental, the rear seats are inspired by luxury air travel. The seats can r

Wnhe Age in America: Adults over 50 believe older workers commonly face age discrimination, report says Many people are giving up alcohol this month in what has become known as Dry January. The trend sprung up as a way to kickstart a new diet or exercise routine. However, it could be more difficult for some than others.Research at the end of 2021 found women are abusing alcohol more than men. A federally-funded study from RTI International found that moms with children under 5 saw alcohol consumption increase by a star tling 323% 鈥?the highest of any group.Women with kids under 5 reported having more than seven drinks a week, or more than three drinks at a time. We are so nurturing, and we are so giving, and where we re just giving and putting ourselves last all the time, and you find relief in a bottle, said Brenda Wilhelmson, the author of Diary of an Alcoholic Housewife. Wilhelmson struggled with alcoholism for more than 20 years. She and medical experts say depression and anxiety explain why alcohol abuse is high among young mothers. She also pointed to pandemic-related stressors, like loss of loved ones, jobs, child care and uncertainty.But experts say there s more to it. The normalization of drinking at home was put in place with the pandemic, and that might actually have persisted, said health economist Carolina Barbosa. There s a real concern with that. Normalizing drinking at home and accessibility incre ased simultaneously, from expanded delivery services to restaurants offering to-go alcohol drinks.Another factor is the rise in social media use and content related Sqvv Merriam-Webster trolls presidential tweet A gas line exploded in San Francisco on Wednesday, causing serious damage to five buildings, local fire officials said. Flames went up to 20 feet into the air, and continue d for nearly two hours as firefighters fou ght the fire. No one was injured from the explosion. The explosion was reportedly caused when workers struck a gas line when working on underground fiber optic cables. We were told that there were eight workers in that facility during fiber optic work underground. All have been accounted for, F ire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said. Nearly a one-block radius around the fire was evacuated. Hayes-White said the explosion was something firefighters were prepared for. It s something that we re accustomed to doing. We re trained for it, Hayes-White said.

Gulg Money raised for Trump s election fights would help cover campaign debt A law enforcement nonprofit is raising funds for one of the fired Atlanta police officers charged in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks. Garrett Rolfe was charged with felony murder, along with 10 other charges, in connection with Brooks death. The Georgia Law Enforcement Organization has now started a fundraiser for Rolfe to help him pay his legal fees.The Organization said their funds are used when officer s experience a life-changing event. They also said they have raised enough funds to cover Rolfe s legal expenses, but the fight is not over. So far, they have raised $250,000 according to WSB-TV.On June 12, Rolfe and another officer, Devin Brosnan, arrived at Wendy s drive-thru around 10:30 p.m. after police were called because Brooks had fallen asleep in his vehicle. Police said Brooks failed a sobriety test and struggled with police when they tried to cuff him. Brooks wrestled a Taser away from an officer, ran from the officers, and at one point, aimed the Taser at police before Rolfe fired his weapon, authorities said. Brooks died after undergoing surgery at a nearby hospital. An autopsy said he suffered t wo gunshot wounds to his back and listed the manner of death as a homicide. Both Rolfe and Brosnan turned themselves in on Thursday, according to jail records and their attorneys. Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault and oath violations.The fundraising page for Rolfe attempts to make a case for the officers Etpn Fan who died in fall at Atlanta Braves game identified SEATTLE -- A judge upheld Seattle s so-called gun violence tax Tuesday, rejecting a challenge from the National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups.King County Superior Court Judge Palmer Robinson dismissed arguments that Seattle s tax, adopted last summer, exceeded the city s authority under state law. Sandy Hook parents still fighting for gun reform 03:09 The measure -- one of only a few of its kind in the nation -- adds $25 to the price of each firearm sold in the city, plus 2 or 5 cents per round of ammunition, depending on the type. CBS affiliate KIRO reported the City Budget Office estimates the tax will raise between $300,000 and $500,000 a year to be used for gun violence research and prevention programs when it takes effect in January. The NRA and its allies always oppose these common sense steps to shine light on the gun violence epidemic, said City Council President Tim Burgess, who sponsored the law. Judge Robinson saw through the NRA s distorted efforts to put gun industry profits ahead of public safety. The NRA did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment, but another plaintiff, the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation, promised an immediate app eal.

Ive been waiting for this call for seven years now. Im kind of losing hope, Darrell Jackson, who is in need of a kidney donation, said. While he waits for a donation, his life revolves around dialysis four hours a day, three times a week. Its just hard on you, he said. Hard on your body. Hard on your mind. CJ Richardson knows the angst Jackson and others feel as they wait for a kidn ey match. The Richmond-area comedian and community activist is also a kidney transplant recipient.He recently shared a video on social media, celebrating seven years since a donor saved his life. The video stressed the importance of organ donation.Richardson said he understood the significant racial disparities among organ donors in Virginia.According to LifeNet Health, while African Americans make up 19 percent of Virginias population, they represent 50 percent of the patients on the states organ transplant waiting list. The need is this, there are people waiting on the list and unfortunately people die waiting, Kia Potts, with LifeNet Health, said.Potts said family members of potential African American donors are less likely t Cpek Webb Space Telescope reveals moment of stellar birth, dramatic close-up of 50 baby stars ST.

Hpqj Adulting classes teach millennials basic skills like sewing, cooking and how to deal with relationships Queen Elizabeth II of Britain said Saturday that her prayers were with the survivors and victims on the 20th anniversary of theSeptember 11 terror attacks.In a message to President Joe Biden, she said, my thoughts and prayers mdash; and those of my family and the entire nation mdash; remain with the victims, survivors and families affected, as well as the first responders and rescue workers called to duty. Sixty-seven British nationals were among the 2,977 people who were killed 20 years ago in the single largest loss of life caused by a foreign attack on U.S. soil. Two planes were flown into the Twin Towers at New York s World Trade Center, another was flown into the Pentagon outside of Washington D.C., and a fourth crashed in Pennsylvania after it was hijacked. Nineteen militants linked to al Qaeda were responsible for the attacks. My visit to the site of the World Trade Center in 2010 is held fast in my memory. It reminds me that as we honor those from many nations, faiths and backgrounds who lost their lives, we also pay tribute to the resilience and determination of the communities who joined together to rebuild, the statement also said. The U.S. national anthem The Star Spangled Banner was also played during Saturday s changing of the guard at Windsor Castle, according to theBBC, followed by a minute s silence. Queen Elizabeth II Lpaj Imprisoned Dutch killer van der Sloot now a father BOSTON -- The man bitten by a shark off Cape Cod this month said on Tuesday he escaped by punching the powerful predato r in the gills after it clamped down on his leg. In his first interview since the Aug. 15 attack, William Lytton said he d been swimming in about 8 to 10 feet of water off Truro, Massachusetts, when h e felt an incredible pain shoot through his left leg and quickly realized he was being attacked by a shark.The 61-year-old neurologist from Scarsdale, New York, said he gave the animal a strong smack in the gills with his left hand, a move that likely saved his life but also resulted in some torn tendons. He now sports an arm cast as well as bandages and a brace around most of his left leg. I initially was terrified, but, really, there was no time to think, he said, recounting the ordeal following a physical therapy session at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, where he s been since Sunday. It doesn t feel like I did anything heroic. A lot of this was luck.

Rlfa House passes bill bolstering landmark voting law TAMPA, Fla. 鈥?We re seeing more and more of them popping up across South Tampa, pulling out of driveways, sitting at red lights and parked in front yards 鈥?were talking about golf carts.Damion and Heather Davis say one of their fa vorite past times is taking a lazy afternoon 23-mile-per hour drive around the community. Always getting into your automobile and just rushing from point A to point B its nice to just slow it down, said Damion. Hey it doesnt take any gas, doesnt cost anything to operate it on a daily basis, you just plug it in, charge it up, and go. They embrace the wind in their hair and listening to the sounds of South Tampa come and go. So we go onto MacDill and have lunch there in the afternoon and drive down to the beach, said Heather.The Davis said reaching this lifestyle wasnt easy, they had to work for it. We just started thinking more and more about could we get a golf cart Is it legal For a long time we didnt even think it was, said Damion. As long as you register it, and youre a licensed driver, its just like a car, said Damion.There is a long checklist of safety req uirements. You have to have windshield wipers, mirrors, lights for nighttime driving, said Damion, just naming a few.The Davis are now trying to share their knowledge and support for low speed vehicles through the new Facebook page, Golfies in the SOG. You know it will be a good support system for educating the rest of the community that we are doing the right thing, we are doing the le Nsrt Hurricane season is here, so don t overlook your freshwater docks Jacob Rocha spends his days working inside a warehouse surrounded by heavy machinery and wood, tucked in the Rocky Mountains. Learned the machines, worked my way up, everything just kind of fell in place, he said.He works at Basic Industries, where he hel ps make wood stakes for a variety of industries. But how he got here is its own story. My initia l charge was a burglary charge, he said. I was a low life, down at the bottom, drugs and stuff. Rochas crimes landed him in prison for years. He spent the last 11 months of his sentence working here as part of the Take TWO Program, a transitional work opportunity reentry program through the prison in Buena Vista, Colorado. Instead of going back to the old neighborhood, the old friends, I tried to do the right thing. So that was my mindset the last couple years, he said.The program focuses on transitioning criminals back into society, starting well before their time in prison is up. 12 to 16 people have come through the program, said Drew Patterson, owner of Basic Industries. Patterson is one of many businesses in the area happy to hire inmates. Ive always kind of been drawn toward helping people that havent really had a fair shake, he said. It gives them something to start a different story for themselves. While work for some is in this warehouse, the rest of life happens down the road, inside a building thats part of the larger prison complex in town.The inmates participating in the program have their own space, a place to
