Four students were dismissed from a Florida university in connection with the death of Robert Champion, the drum major who died last month in what officials have called a hazing-related death, a spokeswoman from the school told CNN.
Authorities have not specified what caused the 26-year-old’s death after a performance last month with the Marching 100 band from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. His family has said it plans to sue the school "to get answers."
Earlier Thursday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott called for a review of state universities' hazing and harassment policies.

 TEL NOF AIR FORCE BASE, ISRAEL — Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit returned to Israel Tuesday morning after five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army said.
His release by the militant Palestinian group Hamas was the first and crucial step of a prisoner swap that will include the release of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.
Shalit, 25, was brought from Gaza into Egypt, then turned over to Israeli officials and taken across the border. He is expected to speak to relatives by telephone and undergo a medical examination before being flown to this air base, where his relatives are waiting.

TRIPOLI, Libya -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to the Libyan capital on Tuesday, bringing encouragement and millions of dollars in new U.S. aid to a transitional government struggling to consolidate its control over a country ravaged by dictatorship and civil war.
Clinton arrived in Tripoli just after noon, becoming the first cabinet-level U.S. official to visit the country since autocratic leader Moammar Gaddafi was driven from the capital nearly two months ago.
She was scheduled to meet with top officials of the transitional government and address a town hall-style gathering during a five-hour visit steeped in both security and symbolism.

The Senate reached a bipartisan agreement intended to end a dispute over disaster relief spending that threatened to cause a partial shutdown of the government at the end of the week.
In two votes, the Senate approved short-term spending measures to fund the government for the start of the new fiscal year that begins Saturday. The deal hinged on FEMA's new assessment that it has sufficient funding for the rest of the current fiscal year.
The measures now go to the House, which would need to approve them to ensure the government continues to be funded after Friday.

From: Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard

I am writing to alert you of important decisions being made at the United States Postal Service (USPS) in the very near future that may impact you directly.
As you may be aware, the USPS is experiencing an unprecedented financial crisis and among the many actions being taken to address the situation is the review of what the USPS terms as low-activity post offices for possible closure or consolidation. It is my understanding that the post offices being studied were identified based on activity in retail sales, foot traffic, revenue and proximity to other post offices.
As part of the review process, the USPS is holding community meetings to receive feedback from the public regarding each post office they are considering for closure or consolidation.
It has come to my attention that the following eleven post offices in our 34th Congressional District have been identified as having low-activity and are being studied for possible closure. The list below provides the name and address of the post office being considered for closure along with the community meeting location, date and time.

I encourage you to attend the meetings and share this information with anyone else who would be interested in attending to express their opinion on the possible closure or consolidation.
The USPS has stated that notices and a survey form have been mailed to all postal patrons within the postal code of the post office being reviewed.

Advisory: LASD TRANSIT SECURITY ASSISTANTS INVOLVED IN AN INJURY TRAFFIC COLLISION IN THE VALLEY

LASD TRANSIT SECURITY ASSISTANTS INVOLVED IN AN INJURY TRAFFIC COLLISION IN THE VALLEY
At 5:46 this morning, Three Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Security Assistants travelling south on Canoga Avenue, in a marked Sheriff’s van, were struck by a Toyota van driven by a female adult travelling west on Parthenia Street. Sheriff’s Motor Deputies on scene report that two of the Security Assistants received minor injuries, and one was transported to a local hospital with a possible broken leg.
Preliminary reports from bystanders at the scene are that the driver of the van ran the red light causing the collision. The Security Assistants were on their way to the Metro Orange line, where they are Fare Inspectors for the Sheriff’s Transit Services Bureau, the LASD unit that has the policing responsibilities for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
LAPD and LASD investigations into the crash are ongoing. No further information is available at this time.

AB 499 Headed for Senate Floor Vote
Permits Consent for STD Vaccinations by 12 year olds
Ask State Senator to Vote No

AB 499, the bill that permits 12 year old children to give consent without their parents' knowledge for vaccines or other medication to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, today advanced to the floor of the CA Senate. It will likely come to a vote within a week. This is the last step before it goes to the Governor to be signed into law.

ACTION Urge senators to vote NO vote on AB 499. It is bad healthcare policy, and an attack on the rights of parents and the rights of children to have the protection and guidance of their parents. Find your State Senator. Visit CCG's Facebook page and share the posting about this bill with your Facebook friends. And, most importantly, pray. Resources: A copy of the letter that CCG sent to members of the California Senate. Talking points, and background

This bill is one of the most egregious violations of parental rights, next to the right to provide abortions for minors without parent knowledge. If it passes, parents will have no right to decide whether or not their child will receive vaccinations that could jeopardize their health. Additionally, children will be approached by Planned Parenthood and other adults encouraging them to be vaccinated to prepare them to become sexually active. AB 499 is an outrage that must be stopped, but it will take a massive public outcry to do it.

Please ask your state senator to vote NO on AB 499 today. It is critical to get others to call as well. We must keep up the pressure until the final vote.

This bill is an end run by the pharmaceutical giant Merck to push their vaccine, Gardasil, on California children at taxpayer's expense. A major public outcry in 2007 killed an effort to make the vaccinations mandatory when Merck proposed it then. Now, if AB 499 becomes law, children as young as 12 years old will face coercion from adults motivated by profit or other agendas to receive vaccines that they don't need and could be harmful.

• The Center for Disease Control has reported deaths of 51 girls and 2 boys after being administered Gardasil, just one of the vaccines covered by this bill. There are many more reports of children maimed for life from the drug. (See http://truthaboutgardasil.org/.) Children are not equipped to evaluate risks and stand up to pressure from adults without the support of their parents.

• Former Merck researcher, Dr. Diane Harper says, “It is silly to mandate vaccination of 11- to 12-year-old girls... There also is not enough evidence gathered on side effects to know that safety is not an issue."

It is time for parents and anyone who cares about the welfare of California’s children to mobilize.

Community: Military Order of the Purple Heart Elects William R. Hutton as National Commander (former LASD)

LASD  - HQ Newsroom (SHB), Los Angeles County Sheriff
Bill Hutton enlisted and served in the United States Marine Corps from 1965-1969 and was assigned to the Third Battalion, Fourth Marines, Third Marine Division during his tour of duty in Vietnam (1966). 
While serving in Vietnam, he was wounded three times with the last occurring on September 28, 1966 while leading his company up Hill 400, which was well fortified with North Vietnamese machine gun bunkers and had held off the Marine Company for two days. For his actions, Bill was awarded the Silver Star, Purple Heart medal with second star and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. 
After returning to the states, Bill was assigned to the Military Police in Santa Ana, California.  While serving in that capacity, he was sent on temporary orders to attend the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Academy for an intense 16 week course in law enforcement procedures. 
After graduation, Bill returned to the Marine Air Facility in Santa Ana and was assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID).  Hutton was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps as a Staff Sergeant (E-6) in 1969.
In April, 1969, Bill joined the ranks of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department where he served in every major division including narcotics for over thirty five years.  In 1993, Bill was awarded the Medal for Bravery and the Distinguished Service Award for saving the life of a fellow deputy whose weapon had been taken in a struggle with a "Hell's Angel" motorcycle club member who was under the influence of heroin.
Bill has been a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart since 1997 and has held every leadership position in the Order up to and now including, National Commander.  Bill is most proud of his work as a Department Service Officer and his close relationship with the hard working National Service Officers who provide services to our veterans and their families through the National Service Program of the Military Order of the Purple Heart..
Hutton’s goals during his tenure as Commander include improving all aspects of service to veterans and their families, expanding and improving the National Service Program of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, improving communications at all levels within the organization, and expanding the active involvement of local chapters and state departments in veteran support activities.
The organization now known as the "Military Order of the Purple Heart of the U.S.A. Inc.," (MOPH) was formed in 1932 for the protection and mutual interest of all combat wounded veterans and active duty men and women who have received the decoration. Chartered by the Congress.
The MOPH is unique among Veteran Service Organizations in that all its members were wounded in combat. For this sacrifice, they were awarded the Purple Heart Medal. With grants from the MOPH Service Foundation, the MOPH and its Ladies Auxiliary promote Patriotism, Fraternalism, and the Preservation of America's military history. Most importantly, through veteran service, they provide comfort and assistance to all Veterans and their families, especially those requiring claims assistance with the VA, those who are homeless, and those requiring employment assistance. 
Through the VAVS program, MOPH volunteers selflessly provide assistance to hospitalized veterans at VA medical facilities and State Veterans Homes.

Deputies were conducting a fare inspection operation at the Hollywood and Vine Metro Red Line subway passenger station Wednesday at 4:00PM, when they contacted Suspect Bret Newman, a 51-year old male White resident of Los Angeles.
As they spoke to him, he unexpectedly ran south into the Metro train tunnel toward the Hollywood and Western Metro passenger station. The Metro Transit Services Bureau deputies used their radios to inform the Metro Rail Operations Center that a man had run into the tunnel. Metro control de-energized the south tunnel third-rail power, to prevent the man from being electrocuted.
As a result of Suspect Newman’s extremely dangerous action, train service was delayed.
Suspect Newman was taken into custody by assisting Metro Transit deputies as he emerged at the Hollywood and Western station about a mile away. Suspect Newman said he ran because he thought he had an arrest warrant. This type of action by a passenger is both dangerous and rare.

He was arrested for trespassing and delaying a Metro train. He did not have any arrest warrants.

U.S. stocks plunged at the open Monday as Wall Street had its first opportunity to react to Standard & Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt.

At the open, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 184 points, or 1.6%; the S&P 500 lost 30 points, or 2.5%; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 82 points, or 3.2%.

Late Friday, S&P downgraded the United States' credit rating by one notch to "AA ", removing the world's largest economy from the Triple A-club for the first time in history.

Economists and investment strategists said an initial shock is not surprising - global markets plunged on the news as well  - but emphasized that the downgrade itself should not impact markets too much.

Man & 5 teen girls rescued from Malibu cliff by LASD & LACoFD Saturday (Photos)

(To see photos, click on hyperlink at bottom of this message)
A day hike and wilderness adventure in Malibu Creek State Park Saturday, ended in an LA County Sheriff's and Fire department team rescue of a 34-year old Los Angeles man, his 14-year old daughter and her four teen girlfriends aged 14-16.
After hiking for a while, the group found more than they bargained for when they became stranded on a treacherous cliff slope on the North/East section of Goat Butte Mountain in Malibu (unincorporated Los Angeles County).
Two members of the group were able to make it down the slope to safety, while one of the remaining four stranded victims was able to get a cell phone connection at about 5:00PM and called to the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The Sheriff's Malibu Search and Rescue Team (MSAR) was immediately activated, responded to the area, and were able to locate the victims.
A Sheriff's MSAR ground team reached the victims and set up a technical rope lowering system. The victims were safely lowered to the base of the mountain where they were escorted to the Sheriff’s Department Command Post at 1925 Las Virgenes Road, Unincorporated Malibu.
Sheriff's MSAR was assisted by Los Angeles County Fire Engine Company 67 and Helicopter 16, who extracted one of the teen victims via helicopter cable winch, because she was too frightened to be taken down the slope.
The rescue was completed at about 9:00PM
None of the victims were injured during the incident.
They thanked rescue personnel before heading home to Los Angeles.
The Sheriff’s Malibu Search and Rescue Team are certified experts in mountain rescue. They are comprised of an elite cadre of reserve deputy sheriffs and high risk civilian volunteers that work out of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station under the command of Sheriff's Captain Joseph H. Stephen.

Thousands Stolen From Elderly Woman By Burglars

In the early morning hours of Friday, July 15, an elderly female was awakened by the sound of someone forcing open the rear door of her home.

The victim grabbed her purse containing $25,000 in cash and attempted to escape undetected. As she tried to exit through the front door, she dropped the purse, which was immediately retrieved by the suspects.

The victim went to a neighbor’s house and sought help as the suspects fled on foot. Witnesses saw the suspects drive away in a late model gray Chevrolet Malibu, prior to the arrival of Norwalk Sheriff’s Station deputies.

A neighbor found the victim’s purse in a nearby trash can, with the cash and a wedding ring missing from inside of it.

The victim told detectives she suffers from a severe medical condition and was saving the money to help pay for her anticipated funeral.

If you’re like most teenagers, you spend a lot of time on a cell phone or instant messenger chatting with friends and uploading photos, videos, and music to websites. You may have online friends whom you’ve never met in person, with whom you play games and exchange messages.

Teens’ lives exist in a variety of places such as school hallways, part-time jobs, and friends’ houses. Now many teens also have lives on the Internet. And bullying has followed teens online.

Online bullying, called cyberbullying, happens when teens use the Internet, cell phones, or other devices to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person. Cyberbullying is a problem that affects almost half of all American teens.

Whether you’ve been a victim of cyberbullying, know someone who has been cyberbullied, or have even cyberbullied yourself, there are steps you and your friends can take to stop cyberbullying and stay cyber-safe.

Governor Signs Bill Giving Legislature Control over Social Science Curriculum from Public Policy Insights for the Archdioces​e of Los Angeles - California Catholic Conference

 Governor Signs Bill Giving Legislature Control over Social Science Curriculum


Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill Thursday allowing the legislature to set social science curriculum in the schools. A similar bill was vetoed by former Governor Schwarzenegger last year.

SB 48 (Leno, D-San Francisco) Instruction: prohibition of discriminatory content, was promoted as a way to prevent bullying, although many other laws address the situation. (See below.) It requires highlighting the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals in history lessons, as well as disabled people and a host of cultural groups.

The need for special exceptions was questioned by opponents of the legislation, including the California Catholic Conference, who pointed out that anti-discrimination on sexual orientation and ethnicity is already law, the language is overly vague, and the measure (which will probably now be litigated in court) will continue to complicate the job of teachers.

Read We Need to Stand Up for Parents and Children where Archbishop Jose Gomez describes the measure as “another example of the government interfering with parents’ rights to be their children’s primary educators.” Thank you to all the Network members who responded to the Action Alert asking the Governor to veto the bill. For more information, contact Carol Hogan, chogan@cacatholic.org.
