Lights Go Out In White House Cabinet Room As Trump Voices ‘Full Faith’ In Intel Agencies
written by TammiStark
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump wanted to make an important point. And then the lights went out. Trump was saying Tuesday that he has “full faith” in the U.S. intelligence agencies in the aftermath of his Helsinki news conference when the lights in the White House Cabinet Room dimmed and briefly went out, leaving the room mostly in darkness.

That must be the intelligence agencies,” the president joked to members of his Cabinet, lawmakers and the assembled media. As the lights were quickly switched on, Trump asked if everyone was OK. “That was strange. But that’s OK,” he said, returning to his statement. WASHINGTON, DC – JULY 17: The lights temporally go out in the Cabinet Room as U.S. President Donald Trump talks about his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with House Republicans at the White House on July 17, 2018 in Washington, DC. Following a diplomatic summit in Helsinki, Trump faced harsh criticism after a press conference with Putin where he would not say whether he believed Russia meddled with the 2016 presidential election.

His remarks came during a meeting with Vice President Mike Pence, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and several members of Congress, including Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas. The president was discussing Republican tax legislation that’s expected to be considered in September. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

FARMINGVILLE, L.I. (CBSNewYork) — Tragedy has struck a Long Island school district again as another student has died at a school event. Grief counselors were posted at Sachem High Schools Tuesday morning to help students cope with a second death in the district in as many summers. This time, a 17-year-old rising senior from Sachem North High School was participating in marching band practice at Sachem East High School Monday night in Farmingville when police say she appears to have suffered a medical incident, collapsed and died. The Sachem Arrows Marching Band practices three evenings per week from 5 to 9 p.m., mostly indoors but a portion of the practice is held outside. Parents say oppressive heat played a role but officials say the players were not in uniform and classmates say the victim they identified as Maddie Sparrow seemed fine earlier in practice. “It’s horrible, especially what the district suffered last year at this time,” said Barbara Staria. “It’s devastating to the families and the community. Unimaginable. I can’t even put it into words.” Just last August, a 16-year-old participating a school sanctioned football camp died at the campus while participating in a strenuous log lifting exercise. Teammates are still coping with that loss. “I sleep one two hours a night the most,” one student told us on June 13. “I wake up with panic attacks.” At Sparrow’s home in Lake Grove, anguished loved ones declined comment. A source tells CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff the teen may have suffered from a condition. “We are currently not aware of the cause of death,” the superintendent wrote on a post of the district’s web site. Suffolk Police say the death does not appear suspicious. Autopsy results could take several weeks.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police on Tuesday arrested a man they say threatened a straphanger with a knife while he was riding a subway with a small child last month. 23-year-old Edgar Rodriguez, of Manhattan, was taken into custody and charged with menacing after he was allegedly caught on cell phone video threatening another passenger in an expletive-laced tirade, waving the weapon and spitting at the passenger before getting off the northbound E train at West 4th Street. VIDEO: Father With Young Son Pulls Knife On Another Straphanger On Subway That passenger tells CBS2 the incident started after he confronted Rodriguez for hitting the child he was traveling with. “He was crying, and that’s why caught everybody’s attention – the noise when he hit him on the arm,” the man said. “I have two kids. I wouldn’t do anything like that. That’s why I couldn’t hold myself when I say, ‘Listen, what you’re doing is not right.’” The victim said he takes the E train every day and he’s worried the suspect will retaliate. “If he pull a knife and threaten your life in front of everybody and holding his child at the same time, he’s a guy (that) doesn’t have anything to lose,” he said. He said he was just trying to do the right thing, but now will never intervene again. Rodriguez was also charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon.

FREEHOLD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — It can be a real challenge to find a parking spot at a mall on a busy weekend, but now a mall in New Jersey is offering some prime spots at a price. To avoid the trouble of driving up and down to find a parking spot, the Freehold Raceway Mall says it’ll save you one if you aren’t afraid to pay up. On Saturday and Sunday morning, a parking attendant will place signs in the lanes that block off a total of 60 spots that are right in front of the mall’s front door. The mall will charge $5 to park in one of the premium spots tucked between Macy’s and Nordstrom. They say there are around 6,000 other spots at he mall property where guests can always park free of charge. “We’re not asking everyone to park and pay for parking,” the mall’s Senior Marketing Manager Debra Panzarella said. “That’s not the whole idea. The whole idea is to give those that want that convenience the opportunity to utilize it.” The mall has offered pay-to-park services before. During the holidays, they charge $15 to valet and say the service is heavily used. While the weekend parking plan just started last week, the mall says it’s been embraced by tenants despite competition with online retailers to make sales. To help shoppers embrace the program, some retailers in the mall offer coupons that pay for an upfront spot. The mall management company says they’ve implemented parking for purchase at other properties, including the Danbury Fair Mall in Connecticut. Handicap spots are exempt from the payment program.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Traffic in New York City can be maddening for anyone sitting behind the wheel, but now a company has come up with a plan to make things better for those trying to get around: Just let the vehicle drive itself. The future of urban transportation could be in small driverless, self-driving vehicles like small shuttle buses ordered up from an app, reports CBS2’s Scott Rapoport. The shift is the brainchild of Coast Autonomous , a company which came up with the concept and held a demonstration Tuesday in Times Square. “Driverless vehicles, once they get fully deployed, are gonna be a lower coast because you don’t have the expense of a driver,” said Rick Baker, head of urban development for Coast Autonomous. The company says its vehicles are perfect for short distance shuttle trips at airports, college campuses, theme parks and low speed, highly congested areas in New York City. The vehicles are slow moving – only going up to 20 miles an hour – and hold up to 12 people at a time. “We see during peak hours this could run on a fixed route and on off-peak hours, you call it from an app and it goes point-to-point as an on demand service,” said Adrian Sussman, managing director of Coast Autonomous. The company claims it could reduce cars on the street and ease gridlock, but the city’s Department of Transportation says it has not had any official contact with Coast Autonomous. Without a driver, the vehicle is equipped with sensors which the company says uses radar to detect the presence of pedestrians in crosswalks and traffic around it. “When it sees an obstruction on the road it sends a signal for the vehicle to stop,” said Baker. The company insists its vehicles are safe though clearly in the concept stage. After testing them in seven countries, they hope to bring the vehicles to the U.S. next year.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — One person has died of Legionnaires’ disease in a cluster of 18 cases in a pair of upper Manhattan neighborhoods, city health officials confirmed on Tuesday. The city Health Department said that seven people remain hospitalized due to the outbreak localized in the lower Washington Heights and Hamilton Heights areas. Health officials say they have inspected 20 cooling towers and ordered several building owners to increase their use of biocides to kill the bacteria associated with the disease. Legionnaires’ is a form of pneumonia contracted by breathing in water droplets contaminated with the bacterium Legionella. Most cases can be traced to plumbing systems where conditions are favorable for Legionella growth. The disease is not passed from person to person. The city sees an average of 200 to 500 Legionnaires’ cases each year. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — If you’ve found yourself sweating in this summer’s heat, you may have hydrated with a store-bought sports drink. They replace electrolytes, but they’re not cheap and contain a lot of calories. Sweat is nearly all water, so that’s what’s most important to replace. Plain water works just fine, but there are some electrolytes in sweat that only sports drinks will restore. As it turns out, making your own is easy, and can be cheaper and even healthier than using store-bought. Brands like Gatorade or Powerade contain plenty of electrolytes, but they also contain additives, preservatives, and worst of all, sugar. What we worry about with those sports drinks is the caloric intake that comes,” dietitian Jennifer Hartman said. “What you have is it’s loaded with sugar.” Plain salt is most of what you lose in sweat, so it’s all you need in the homemade concoction. Other electrolytes are easily replaced with food. Green, leafy vegetables will do the trick, as will bananas or even dark chocolate. The rest is all flavoring. Lemon or lime juice works, and a bit of ginger could add a touch of spice. Pomegranate juice adds a bit of color and a dose of antioxidants. From there you can control what kind and how much sweetener to add. “If you truly don’t want the sugar and you want it to be sugar free, you could add some stevia, the little droplets, or the splenda sugar free sweetener,” Hartman said. Water is usually enough for most people other than extreme athletes like marathoners, but there’s no harm in consuming drinks containing electrolytes other than cost and calories. If you want to make your own brew, we’ve got an easy starter recipe HERE .
