Man Pleads Guilty To Hanging Noose Outside Black Man’s Home
(CBS News/CBS Local)– In January 2018, a woman from Yakutia, Russia, posted a photo that went viral of her frozen eyelashes , completely white with frost in extreme sub-zero temperatures. Now, six months later, another one of her selfies is taking off, but it is vastly different than the frozen eyelash photo. Her name is Anastasia Gruzdeva and she’s still in Yakutia, but temperatures in that part of Siberia these days are too hot, not too cold, and she is covered in mosquitoes instead of snow. Gruzdeva posted the summer selfie on Monday, when temperatures reached the 90s. The photo shows mosquitoes covering her face and chest as she stands in a field of flowers. What makes summers so difficult in the region is the swarm of mosquitoes that infiltrate the area from May to September, NDTV reports . “Arctic mosquito swarms are the stuff of legend. Some of them contain hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of insects,” The Atlantic noted in 2015. “If the Arctic continues to warm , and there is every indication that it will, the summer tundra may soon be abuzz with larger and larger clouds of biting, blood-sucking insects.” Meanwhile, last winter, thermometers couldn’t even keep up with the plunging temperatures in the remote Yakutia region, which hit minus 88.6 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas. Students in the region routinely go to school even when it’s 40 below zero. But school was cancelled and police ordered parents to keep their children inside. Gruzdeva ventured outside on a January day despite a temperature of about minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit. She bundled up, wrapping a scarf around most of her face, but she couldn’t cover her eyes, which quickly froze. Her lashes looked frozen solid, with a stiff coating of ice covering them. The drastic difference between temperatures in Yakutia’s winters and summers has become a topic of discussion online. One person posted of a thermometer registering 38.8 degrees Celsius on Sunday — that’s 101.8 degrees Fahrenheit. In a stark contrast, someone else shared a photo of the city of Yakutsk in the winter, when it’s been known as “the world’s coldest city.” It’s hard to choose which is the lesser of two evils — extreme cold and a frozen-over face, or sweltering heat and swarms of mosquitos? It appears at least one person, Gruzdeva, isn’t afraid to go out in either of the extreme climates. © 2018 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved. H/T CBS News

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Concern is growing over a supposed secret clique of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies who brand their members with matching skull tattoos. The revelation this week that a deputy admitted to getting inked two years ago as part of a ritual within the LASD Compton station has raised concerns that deputy cliques, long part of a controversial agency subculture, have persisted despite the department’s reform efforts, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. Some members of the Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission are calling on LASD to investigate the issue. Hernan Vera, who serves on the SCOC, said the deputy’s admission in a lawsuit over a fatal shooting that he and as many as 20 others have the signature tattoos was “thoroughly disturbing,” The Times reported. The latest revelations, detailed this week by the Times, center on a deposition given in May by Deputy Samuel Aldama, who described under oath a tattoo on his calf featuring a skull in a military-style helmet bearing the letters CPT, for Compton, along with a rifle, encircled by flames. He said he got the tattoo in June 2016, about two months before he was involved in the fatal shooting of Donta Taylor, The Times reported. Sheriff Jim McDonnell said that for the last year, the department has been examining deputy tattoos, logos and symbolism within the organization, but he hasn’t launched a new investigation into the Compton station deputies. He said there is also a separate administrative investigation into the shooting, which may address the deputy’s admissions. The department has a history of clandestine groups with names like the Regulators, Grim Reapers and Jump Out Boys that have been accused of promoting highly aggressive tactics and perpetuating a code of silence among members. Nearly 30 years ago, a federal judge said the Vikings club was a “neo- Nazi, white supremacist gang. (©2018 CBS Local Media, a division of CBS Radio Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Revelation About LA Deputies’ Secret Clique Sparks Calls For Investigation
By Debra Goldschmidt, CNN (CNN) — The Illinois and Iowa health departments are investigating outbreaks of a parasite that causes intestinal illness and might be linked to McDonald’s salads, both states said Thursday. Illinois is reporting 90 cases since mid-May. Iowa is reporting 15 cases since late June. File photo (Photo Credit: KAREN BLEIER/AFP/Getty Images) The cyclospora parasite causes intestinal illness as a result of consuming contaminated food or water. Symptoms can begin a week or more after consuming the parasite. They include diarrhea and frequent, sometimes explosive bowel movements, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those who are infected might also experience loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps or pain, nausea, gas and fatigue. Vomiting, headache, fever, body aches and flu-like symptoms can also occur. The illness can last from a few days to a few months and patients might feel better, then get worse again. Patients can be treated with antibiotics. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, the illnesses have been reported across multiple counties in the state, although no counties were named. “The initial investigation indicates a link to consumption of McDonald’s salads produced for McDonald’s restaurants. Approximately one-fourth of Illinois cases reported eating salads from McDonald’s in the days before they became ill,” the health department said in a statement. The agency is asking that anyone who has eaten a McDonald’s salad since mid-May and experienced diarrhea and fatigue to contact a health care provider to be tested and receive treatment. Iowa health officials are asking the same of anyone who has developed symptoms after consuming one of these salads since the middle of June. “This summer there have been several clusters of Cyclospora illness associated with various foods that are commercially available,” a statement from the Iowa Department of Public Health said. “We’re working with CDC, FDA, and Iowa to investigate multiple potential sources,” Illinois health department spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said in an email. McDonald’s is cooperating with the CDC and US Food and Drug Administration in investigating the outbreak, according to the state health departments. McDonald’s said in an email it has been in contact with public health authorities from both states about an increase in Cyclospora infections. “Out of an abundance of caution, we decided to voluntarily stop selling salads at impacted restaurants until we can switch to another lettuce blend supplier,” the email said. “We are in the process of removing existing salad blend from identified restaurants and distribution centers — which includes approximately 3,000 of our U.S. restaurants primarily located in the Midwest.” The parasite cyclospora is the culprit behind an ongoing outbreak linked to recalled Del Monte Fresh vegetable trays; it’s linked to more than 200 illnesses in four states. The parasite is also to blame for an outbreak in Texas, although officials have not yet identified what’s making people sick there.

More Than 100 People Fall Ill From Parasite Possibly Linked To Salads At McDonald’s
(CNN) — Both the UK National Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that mothers exclusively breastfeed until about 6 months of age and then begin to introduce solid foods. Yet, an alternative feeding plan is also safe for babies, new research suggests. Introducing a child to solid baby foods after just 3 months was associated with a small but significant improvement in nighttime sleep and slightly fewer wakings throughout the week compared with babies who began eating solids later, according to a study published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics . For Dr. Gideon Lack , senior author of the study and a professor and head of the Department of Paediatric Allergy at King’s College London, the study’s single most important finding was the “more than 50% reduction in the number of families reporting severe sleep disturbances in their babies.” “Lack of sleep can be pretty devastating for babies and their families,” he said. Nighttime sleep Many parents assume that a belly filled with solid food and not just liquids will help their infants sleep throughout the night, but previous scientific studies have not proved it. So, while planning a study that examined how allergies develop in babies — the Enquiring About Tolerance or EAT study — Lack and his co-authors decided they might also design the study to explore the connection between infant diets and sleep habits. “Right from the start,” said Lack, “we embedded into the structure of the study very detailed, validated questionnaires that assess sleep.” The research team began by recruiting more than 1,300 babies in England and Wales between 2009 and 2012. All the babies were 3 months old, healthy, full-term infants whose mothers exclusively breastfed them. Next, the researchers sorted the mothers into two groups. One group was asked to exclusively breastfeed the infants till six months, while the second group was asked to continue breastfeeding yet also introduce solid foods for the first week of the study — the babies were 3 months old — and in the second week begin to include six items that are typically linked to allergies in children: cow’s milk, peanut, hen’s egg, sesame, white fish and wheat. Then, the team collected data on the infants every month up to one year and then every three months up to 3 years old. The mothers in the first group, on average, introduced solid foods to their babies at 23 weeks of age, whereas the mothers in the second group did so on average at age 16 weeks, the researchers found. Soon after 6 months, then, no real differences existed between the babies with respect to solid foods. However, the two groups showed differences in sleep, the results indicated. The babies who ate solid foods earlier slept longer from age 5 months past 1 year: about 7 minutes longer on average each night, with no differences in daytime sleeping. Lack said that once adjustments were made for factors associated with sleep duration “the sleep difference is more on the order of 16 or 17 minutes a night which correlates to about 2 hours extra sleep a week.” The babies whose diets included solid food earlier also woke less frequently during the night: They averaged about two fewer middle-of-the-night wakings each week than the others. The parents of babies in the early solid foods group also reported fewer very serious sleep problems than parents in the other group. The definition of a “serious sleep problem” was left to parents, who often perceived difficulties when their babies woke frequently or did not sleep long at night. These improvements in sleep seen in the early solids group did not end after seven or eight months as the researchers expected but continued throughout the first year of infancy and beyond. “We were all — me and my co- investigators — we were very surprised by this finding,” said Lack, who added this sustained difference between groups suggests “that sleep patterns and sleep activities are imprinted or rather developed very early on in life.” Lack also said the analysis didn’t “find specific foods associated with better sleep.” The mothers in the early solids group fed their children a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits and rice in addition to the suggested allergenic foods. Though the large number of families participating in the study may strengthen the findings, one pediatrician has concerns about the study’s findings. ‘Other ways’ to improve sleep “Parenting lore suggests that feeding babies solids can help them sleep better. This study may support that theory, although past studies have not necessarily shown it,” said Atlanta pediatrician Dr. Jennifer Shu. “It’s possible that feeding more breast milk or formula may have the same effect.” Shu, who was not involved in the research, noted that there are “numerous known benefits of breast milk.” “My concern would be that the recommendation of early introduction of solids (especially when increased very quickly) could result in a corresponding decrease in valuable breast milk consumption,” Shu wrote in an email. She added the decision to start solids at a certain time is best decided by the parents and pediatrician based on a baby’s growth and general health. Overall, Shu felt the improvements in infant sleep seen in the study were “small.” “Parental quality of life is important but it remains to be seen if introducing solids before 6 months and/or getting small improvements of sleep is the solution,” said Shu. “There are other ways to improve an infant’s sleep that are not related to feeding, including having consistent sleep routines and avoiding over-stimulation (such as from artificial light or not giving babies the opportunity to sleep when they need it),” said Shu. Lack said that, going forward, more research is needed to examine “not only quantity of sleep but also quality of sleep in babies.” “Prolonged breast feeding is extremely important,” said Lack. “The study highlights the fact that it is safe and potentially beneficial to introduce solid foods, including allergenic foods, into a baby’s diet after 3 months of age.” The-CNN-Wire & © 2018 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.
