Edwardsville forward Stanley Lucas skates into the offensive zone with the puck late in the second period.
GATES MILLS, Ohio – A frantic third-period rally wasn't enough to help the Edwardsville Tigers overcome a number of early mistakes.
North Broward, Fla., built a three-goal third-period lead and then hung on for a 7-5 victory over the Tigers in the second pool play game at the Gilmour Academy Ice Complex.
Five of North Broward's seven goals came on defensive-zone turnovers or failed clear outs by Edwardsville. The Tigers also conceded two power plays by taking penalties.
The Tigers must win against Marriotts Ridge, Md., at 1 p.m. today and have North Broward beat Allen, Texas, to advance to Sunday's quarterfinals.
It's a do-or-die situation Edwardsville nearly avoided with a big rally.
Trailing 6-3 with 11:40 to play in the third period, the Tigers cut the deficit to two on a power play goal by Stanley Lucas with 7:29 left. It was his second of the game, with Tyler Schaeffer picking up the assist with a cross-ice pass into the slot. Connor Stewart also assisted.
Schaeffer then picked up his second of the game with 5:03 to play. Lucas entered the zone and dropped a pass back to Schaeffer, who connected on a wrister from the slot.
It was Schaeffer's tournament-leading sixth goal in two days.
The Tigers went on the power play with 2:04 remaining, but North Broward was able to get an empty-net goal from Robert Rosenthal with 1:12 to go to put the game away.
"It would have been ideal if we would have had possession. I assumed we were going to over on the boards. We just didn't get full possession. If you do it over again, you'd like to hope you have full possession," Walker said of pulling Griffin.
It was Rosenthal's second goal of the day. He also had two assists.
Rosenthal also opened the game's scoring, putting North Broward up 1-0 with 13:09 to go in the first. The Tigers turned the puck over in their own zone, and Vladimir Chetverikov set up his captain.
Edwardsville, after getting its skates going, took a 2-1 lead into the second period after getting goals from Schaeffer and Lucas.
Schaeffer scored with a wrist shot in the slot off a feed from Carson Lewis and John Paul Krekovich on a delayed penalty, while Lucas scored with a back-hand shot from in close after the forechecking of Logan Bielicke and Reilly Patton forced a turnover.
North Broward scored the next two goals, taking a 3-2 lead with 11:17 left in the second. Both goals came after failed Edwardsville clearing attempts.
"That's the type of game we want to play. We want to try to take advantage of turnovers. We have some good offensive guys," Worrell said.
EHS tied it 3-3 on a goal by Logan Bielicke, who banged in a rebound with 7:26 left in the second. Mitchell Oberlag and Trevor Henson had the assists on the goal that came just after a power play expired.
The momentum would be short lived, with North Broward building a three-goal lead over the next 10 minutes before Edwardsville's frantic rally in the last five minutes.
"The last five minutes of the game is how we need to play all the time with that sense of urgency. We played hard in the critical areas and controlled the play, but it was too late," Walker said.
Edwardsville outshot North Broward 38-32.
The Tigers still have work to do.

Snapchat's already outgrown its reputation as a tool for sending racy self-destructing photos, but a new lawsuit claims the app still isn't safe for younger users. One anonymous 14-year-old is suing the company after coming across some inappropriate content in the Discover section.
Discover exists within the main Snapchat app, offering up curated videos and articles from popular publishers right alongside posts from your friends. The company reportedly has direct input over what we see in Discover, though a spokesperson denied it in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Our Discover partners have editorial independence," they said, "which is something that we support."
The accuser is calling out a Discover post from BuzzFeed that was published on July 1 showing popular Disney characters with "perverted" captions. However, the lawsuit also points to various headlines and images that might not be appropriate for a younger audience. Snapchat is officially available for ages 13 and up.
The lawsuit demands an option for parents to block adult content in the app, along with a warning when users are about to something inappropriate in Discover. It's also demanding a big payout based on the advertising revenue Snapchat makes through the feature. The claims could potentially cover around 150 million younger Snapchat users, though whether it makes any real progress remains to be seen.

Intel Core i5-11600K Review
By Ryan Jones
Computing and Gaming Editor

Intel's mid-range desktop processor offers a high-class gaming performance
Intel Core i5-11600K price and availability
Intel Core i5-11600K specs
Intel Core i5-11600K test setup
Intel Core i5-11600K performance
Intel Core i5-11600K power consumption and heat
Intel Core i5-11600K conclusion
You should buy the Intel Core i5-11600K if
You shouldn
The Intel Core i5-11600K is a fantastic processor for gaming, with top-notch performance and support for PCIe 4.0, which maximises the speed of supported next-gen SSDs. This Intel chip is very much a one-trick pony though, with its poor multi-threaded performance making it an inferior alternative to Ryzen processors for creative applications.
Excellent gaming performance
Support for PCIe 4.0
Runs at comparatively low temperatures
Poor multi-threaded performance
Marginal performance gains from 10th generation
Review Price: £250
3.9GHz base clock
4.9GHz max clock
6 cores, 12 threads
14nm Rocket Lake architecture
Intel 500-series chipset
PCIe Gen 4 support
The Intel Core i5-11600K is a new mid-range desktop processor in the Rocket Lake-S family, with Intel pitching it as a good-value option for gamers who can't afford the all-powerful i9-11900K.
With a near-identical spec sheet to its predecessor (the i5-10600K), Intel is relying heavily on the architecture improvements provided by Rocket Lake – a big risk considering Intel is still stuck on 14nm architecture.
Intel has at least introduced support for PCI Express 4.0, which raises the performance ceiling for compatible SSDs, so you cut down loading times and ensure your system is future-proofed for next-gen games. This alone is a big incentive to upgrade if you're still using previous-generation Intel CPUs.
And with the company building on the solid foundations of its previous mid-range processors and hiking up those clock speeds, the Intel Core i5-11600K looks to be one of the leading CPU choices for your gaming PC.
The Intel Core i5-11600K is now available to buy at a price of $262. Intel has revealed official UK pricing, but Scan and Overclockers have listed the price as £249.98 and £269.99 respectively.
The Intel Core i5-11600KF is also available to buy at a slightly more affordable $237, featuring identical specs but with the omission of integrated graphics.
Intel Core i5-11600K specs – More of the same, but with PCIe 4.0 support
Rocket Lake architecture provides a performance boost
Same number of cores and threads as predecessor
PCIe 4.0 support boosts performance ceiling for next-gen SSDs
The Intel Core i5-11600K has an unremarkable spec sheet when compared side-by-side with the Intel Core i5-11600K. The clock speeds differ ever so slightly, while the core and thread counts are identical – although at least they didn't drop as they did with the Intel Core i9-11900K.
Fortunately, Intel's decision to handicap the core and thread counts for Rocket Lake hasn't impacted the mid-range i5-11600K, so Team Blue hasn't needed to make as many compromises when jumping to a new generation.
However, with no interesting boosts to the spec sheet, Intel is relying heavily on the improvements provided by the Rocket Lake architecture instead, with Intel claiming 19% more instructions per cycle than the older 10th-Gen Comet Lake processors. This should mean you're getting a faster, more efficient CPU.
Base clock speed Max clock speed Cores / Threads Thermal Design Power
Intel Core i5-11600K 3.9 GHz Up to 4.9 GHz 6 / 12 125W
Intel Core i9-10900K 3.7 GHz Up to 5.3 GHz 10 / 20 125W
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz Up to 4.7 GHz 8 / 16 105W
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz Up to 4.6 GHz 12 / 24 105W
The new Rocket Lake architecture also opens the door to a slew of exciting features. Chief among these is support for PCI Express 4.0, which raises the performance ceiling for SSDs from 8GB/s to 16GB/s.
When you consider the PS5 was hailed for having SSDs with a read speed of 5.5 GB/s, the new-fangled support for PCIe 4.0 is undoubtedly exciting, although you'll need to purchase supported SSDs to make use of such a performance. Such hardware is thin on the ground now, and will undoubtedly be pricey, but it makes a lot of sense to get your system future-proofed in advance.
Intel also claims its integrated graphics has seen a 50% boost compared to the previous generation. I remain unconvinced in terms of how beneficial this feature will be to the average user, since the Intel Core i5-11600K is best used in conjunction with a discrete graphics card in order to maximise value for money.
Other features that Rocket Lake brings to the table include Intel Deep Learning Boost (a new AI integration), support for up to DDR4-3200 and Resizable BAR, which improves the processor's communication with AMD and Nvidia GPUs for a more efficient performance. It's a solid feature-set, but nothing that gives Intel the edge over Ryzen 5000 processors.
Intel's Rocket Lake processors will support the new 500-series chipset, which means you'll need a compatible motherboard in order to unlock brand-new features such as support for Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E.
However, Rocket Lake is also backwards compatible with most 400-series chipsets, so you may not be forced to upgrade your motherboard if you already own a 10th-Gen desktop processor. The older 400-series chipset is even capable of supporting PCIe 4.0, if your motherboard supports the interface.
Intel Core i5-11600K test setup – How we benchmarked the processor
In order to ensure all tests were fair, I put every processor through its paces in the same system – other than swapping the motherboard when switching between AMD and Intel processors. You can see the PC build I used for testing below:
Intel Motherboard: ROG Maximus XIII Hero
AMD Motherboard: TUF Gaming X570-Plus Wi-Fi
RAM: 16GB (2x 8GB)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black (single fan)
SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB M.2 Gaming SSD
I also selected a wide variety of benchmark tests, including PCMark 10 and Geekbench 5 for overall CPU performance, Cinebench R23 for creative applications, and 3DMark Time Spy for gaming.
For a deep look at real-world gaming performance, I also benchmarked a selection of popular games from varying genres, including Horizon Zero Dawn, Borderlands 3, Dirt Rally, Total War: Warhammer 2 and Civilization VI.
Unfortunately, I didn't have access to a 4K monitor at the time of testing due to Covid-19 restrictions, but I'll be adding 4K benchmark results when I'm able to.
It's also worth noting that future driver updates can have a significant impact on performance, so it may not be possible to replicate my results in the future. Now, with the technical stuff out of the way, let's get to the performance results.
Intel Core i5-11600K performance – Exceptionally good gaming grunt
One of the best gaming CPU performances yet
Fantastic single-core performance
Still can't compete with AMD's multi-threaded speeds
The Intel Core i5-11600K is one of the best desktop processors I've ever seen for gaming, providing similar performance levels to the i9-11900K, despite being considerably cheaper.
However, if you already own the Intel Core i5-10600K and don't care about PCIe 4.0 support, there isn't a big enough generation-over-generation performance leap compared to its predecessor to warrant an upgrade.
I've included all of my benchmark results below, so you can see a full breakdown of this CPU's strengths and weaknesses.
PCMark 10 Extended
PCMark 10 is a holistic benchmark that provides an overall view on system performance. The Intel Core i5-11600K secured a respectable third-place finish in our testing, bested only by the Intel Core i9-11900K and Ryzen 7 5800X.
That's no surprise, since the Intel Core i5-10600K and Ryzen 9 3900X are both chips from the previous generation. However, it's useful to see the difference between each result, with the Intel Core i5-11600K taking a sizable lead over its predecessor.
But since PCMark 10 is a holistic benchmark, it doesn't really give us an accurate indication of the specific workloads any of the processors will excel at.
Geekbench 5 is similar to PCMark 10, in that it measures overall productivity muscle rather than focusing on specific workloads. Nevertheless, it remains useful since it breaks down the performance between "single-core" and "multi-core" to give us a better idea of each processor's strengths.
It's clear that the Intel Core i5-11600K's main strength is its single-core performance, beating every chip on test except for the significantly more expensive Intel Core i9-11900K. A single-core performance is important for gaming, so this is great news for gamers.
However, it didn't fare so well in the multi-core benchmark, falling behind both of the AMD Ryzen processors on test. With just 6 cores and 12 threads to its name, this is hardly a surprise but still a good reminder that this isn't a great CPU for multi-threaded tasks.
This test emphasises that AMD Ryzen processors are still the best option for creative applications. The Intel Core i5-11600K is only a worthwhile option if gaming is the priority. Cinebench R23 is essentially a more intensive version of Geekbench 5, tasking the CPU with a rendering simulation rather than everyday workloads. This means it's a good benchmark to determine how good a processor is for content creation.
The Intel Core i5-11600K did poorly here, especially for the multi-core benchmark – but this shouldn't be a surprise considering it has only 6 cores and 12 threads.
3DMark Time Spy
3DMark is a synthetic benchmark that evaluates gaming performance. Interestingly, this test saw both of the Ryzen chips beat the Intel Core i5-11600K.
However, further gaming tests contradicted this result. I assume 3DMark Time Spy took multi-core performance into consideration, as some games can benefit from additional cores and threads.
But as our in-game benchmark tests show, many games prioritise clock speed above all else, making the Intel Core i5-11600K a more powerful gaming processor than the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark suggests.
The Intel Core i5-11600K performed very well in this test, beaten only by the Intel Core i9-11900K – and that was only by a couple of frames per second. Horizon Zero Dawn is a good example of a modern action-adventure game that's pretty taxing on your system's components. This makes it a useful benchmark test to determine real-world performance.
Considering the i9-11900K is more than double the price, the i5-11600K's performance is mighty impressive here and represents fantastic value.
The Intel Core i5-11600K saw very good performance results, beating even the Intel Core i9-11900K at Quad HD and Full HD resolutions.
I don't think the i5-11600K will frequently see superior results than the i9-11900K for obvious reasons, but it does prove how slim these performance margins are as there really is nothing between them.
Intel also saw a healthy lead over its Ryzen competitors, with an 18fps advantage over the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor.
Dirt Rally is the oldest game on this list, released back in 2015. As such, it isn't a very demanding title, and is a good example to use if you're considering playing through your old library of PC games, or fancy using the Intel chip for eSports.
The Intel Core i5-11600K performed well here, taking a sizable lead over its Intel Core i5-10600K predecessor. However, it fell behind the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, which was quite the shock. Still, that's more of an indicator of Ryzen excelling at this test rather than the i5-11600K performing poorly.
Total War: Warhammer 2 is a popular strategy game, so I decided to use its built-in benchmark for the processor group test.
The Intel Core i5-11600K performed very well here, coming in only a couple of frames behind the i9, while fending off the competition from both its predecessor and the Ryzen chips. Honestly, the performance gap isn't big either way, but it does once again reinforce that the i5 is one of the best processors for gaming.
The Civilization VI benchmark is different to the rest, measuring AI turn time rather than frame rate performance. This means that a lower score is better; it means less waiting around for the enemy AI to make all of its calculations.
The Intel Core i5-11600K ranked third in this test, beaten narrowly by the Ryzen 7 5800X. That said, there's little separating the two chips, to such an extent that you won't notice a difference in real-time.
Intel Core i5-11600K power consumption and heat – A cool performer
Fairly high power draw compared to rivals
Runs very cool, even during stress testing
It isn't just performance you need to take into account when purchasing a processor; the power draw and temperature can have a big bearing on any additional components you'll need to purchase for your system.
For power consumption, I used a power meter to find the wattage of my entire PC system. This means the figures in the table below aren't useful independently, but do show the differences between each processor for comparison. I found the peak power draw by running the Cinebench R23 benchmark.
Intel Core i5-11600K Intel Core i5-10600K Intel Core i9-11900K AMD Ryzen 7 5800X AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Idle power draw 64W 59W 67.2W 68.6W 65W
Max power draw 213.5W 170.1W 335W 189.5 W 208.5W
The Intel Core i5-11600K has a pretty high power consumption, hitting a higher wattage than both its predecessor and the Ryzen chips during the stress test. This isn't a big issue, but I advise checking out how much headroom your PSU has before buying this processor.
I used the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black cooler for testing, but only equipped one so I could replicate the thermal performance of an everyday gaming system.
Idle temperature 24°C 31°C 34°C 39°C 41°C
Stress test temperature 67°C 61°C 87 °C 86°C 80°C
The results were impressive here, with the Intel Core i5-11600K running cooler than the majority of the other processors for both the idle and PCMark 10 Extended test. As such, you won't need a super-luxurious cooling solution in order to maximise performance.
Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to conduct any overclocking, but the low temperatures make me optimistic of squeezing more performance power out of this CPU.
The Intel Core i5-11600K is an impressive processor when it comes to gaming, delivering very similar results to the i9-11900K, despite costing half the price.
Admittedly, it isn't a massive upgrade on its predecessor, the Intel Core i5-10600K, but the inclusion of PCIe 4.0 support to enable use with next-gen SSDs is arguably a big enough incentive to spend more for this 11th-Generation Intel CPU.
With just 6 cores to its name, the Intel Core i5-11600K can't compete with AMD in the content creation market, but that's not a problem at this price point. If you want a processor mainly for gaming, this is one of the absolute best gaming CPU options on the market.
You want a processor for gaming The Intel Core i5-11600K is one of the best desktop processors I've tested for gaming, offering similar levels of performance to the i9-11900K.
You care about value for money
The Intel Core i9-11900K may be more powerful, but it's also double the price. The Intel Core i5-11600K offers fantastic value while still providing a top-notch gaming performance.
You want to buy a next-gen SSDThe Intel Core i5-11600K's main strength over its predecessor is its support for PCIe 4.0, which means you'll be able to increase the SSD performance ceiling to 16GB/s when partnered with a next-gen SSD.
You shouldn't buy the Intel Core i5-11600K if…
You want to use creative applications The Intel Core i5-11600K's greatest weakness is its multi-threaded performance, making it a poor option for creative apps. Opt for a Ryzen chip if content creation is a priority.
You already own a 10th-Gen Intel Core processorUnfortunately, there isn't a major performance jump from the 10th generation of Intel desktop processors, so it isn't worth upgrading from the Intel Core i5-11600K unless you really, really want PCIe 4.0 support.

When and How Do I Tell My Child They Have Autism?
Do they know they are different? Does it bother them?
Do they ask questions like What is wrong with me?
What is their age? It is not likely a 2-year old will understand, but a 10-year might find this really helpful to understand why certain things can be challenging for them and not their peers.
What is their level of function? Those with severe autism and perhaps other comorbidities may never understand what you are trying to explain to them. Kids who are extremely high-functioning and self-aware may start to recognize at a very early age they are different and the unknown (why) may be causing more anxiety then you know.
Have you come to terms with the diagnosis? Has your family? If you tell your child before you or some of your family have been able to process it, it could make things harder on your child if they see that someone else is in denial, or thinks this means there is something 'wrong' with them.
When MJ was diagnosed with high-functioning autism (formerly known as Aspergers) at the age of 3.5 we didn't tell her right away. We knew we would have to tell her soon, because she was very self-aware. She knew she was different and she knew at that young age there were things that bothered her that didn't bother other kids her age. She started asking me complex questions well before I was prepared, first asking me what death was (no actual experience with it at the time, and her media was very censored) before the age of 3. She continued to ask me such questions, and started asking why she was different. This was happening at a time when we were also introducing therapy to her, where her Autism Support Workers would come to our home or her daycare and work with her, but the other kids didn't have anyone like that.
One day, after a bad meltdown (she was almost 4) she started asking me why she had them. I sat her down and took the plunge and for those who know me, you know I don't often struggle with words, in fact I know I talk too much and the idea of being "brief" isn't exactly in my wheel house.
YES! In one simple moment she had explained it to me better and simpler than my jumble of words.
Because MJ loves science and learning about the body, we took an approach to teach her all about the brain. Our clinical supervisor turned us onto the MindUp Curriculum created by the (Goldie) Hawn Foundation. We used these lessons to help her learn how to be mindful and almost like a desensitization program. It helped us teach her about sensitivities to sound and smell, and what happens to our brains – her brain in particular – when we experience senses we do not like. It's a fantastic tool for all kids, not just those on the autism spectrum. It teaches them how their brain works and when their brains might close and what to do about it. It was very useful in helping with self-regulation, a struggle many kids have, and one that's much more challenging for children with ASD. Here's a little video explaining the concept. I actually am hoping to suggest it to our school and see if they will implement it in the classroom. They have a series of different curriculum/lesson books from Pre-K up to Grade 8.
When I first told MJ it was because she asked, and I've always been honest with her when she asks questions. I didn't have a book and in hindsight, I wish I had of. I can see she is still struggling with being different so I've been looking into books that would be suitable for her. I've compiled a list below and will say we've used the When my Autism Gets too Big workbook and it was very helpful (although we modified it slightly to suit our needs).
If you're struggling with whether to tell your child and whether the time is 'right,' here's a very helpful article from the Indiana Resources Center for Autism that just might help you decide.

WW II Navy Flyer Visits USVI Midshipmen at U.S. Naval Academy
From left to right: MIDN 1/C Kobe Sutton (Educational Complex H.S.), Matthew (Matty) and Gloria Yacovino, Anthony Martin III, Hazel Acosta (Central H.S.), Nicholas Gartner (Antilles H.S.), Steve Shegrud
Midshipmen from the U.S. Virgin Islands hosted a 94-year old World War II Navy Flyer veteran for lunch on Nov. 30 at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.
Matthew (Matty) and Gloria Yacovino drove down from their residence in New York City to Annapolis to meet with some U.S. Virgin Islands midshipmen. Midshipman First Class (MIDN 1/C) Kobe Sutton set up the formal lunch for Matty, a World War II veteran, to dine with all 4,400 midshipmen in the Kings Hall dining facility. There was great discussion at the table of 12 midshipmen that comprise the squad that Kobe leads.
Matty Yacovino joined the U.S. Navy in 1942 at the age of 18, and after Navy flight school and ordnance training, joined Navy Patrol Squadron Sixty-two (VP-62) to conduct anti-submarine warfare operations against Nazi U-boats that were sinking U.S. and Allied troop ships bound for Europe. VP-62 was the first U.S. patrol squadron to operate from the United Kingdom in World War II. On May 11, 1945, led by Patrol Plane Commander Lieutenant W. D. Ray, Yacovino's crew sighted U-boat U-541 off the Bay of Biscay (France), and circled the U-boat for two hours until British destroyers arrived on the scene to force the surrender of U-541.
Yacovino achieved the rank of aviation ordnance chief (E-7 rank) in just four years in the Navy, and was an integral part of his PBY Catalina combat air crew. He left the Navy in 1946 and attended Rutgers University to attain a mechanical engineering degree, started his own engineering firm and ran it successfully for 50 years. He still designs homes and buildings while retired. Yacovino owns the distinction of keeping his Professional Engineer (PE) Association certificate up to date, and at age 94 remains the oldest certified PE in the state of New Jersey.
MIDN 1/C (college senior) Kobe Sutton (major political science) will graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy in May and depart for San Diego, Calif., for Naval Special Forces training, with the special designated skill of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD). Sutton will soon be serving in worldwide operational deployments that are critical to U.S. national security.
MIDN 2/C (junior) Nicholas Gartner is majoring in general sciences and intends to select Naval Special Forces. He is a product of Antilles School and an avid sailor. Gartner has been on Navy's NCAA Division I varsity sailing team at Navy all three years he has attended, and helped his squad earn All-American status.
MIDN 3/C (sophomore) Hazel Acosta is majoring in chemistry and intends to select Navy Medical Corps upon graduation.

TreeHouse's Holland a man of many talents
By Dan Malovany
A man of many talents, Rich Holland was named TreeHouse Foods' 2017 Operations Executive of the Year.
Rich Holland is a man of many talents. He can sing. He can tell a great story. And he can fix near anything inside a bakery plant.
"Throughout my career, I've been the 'fix-it guy,' he told Editor Joanie Spencer, in the December issue of Baking & Snack magazine. "Whenever something was wrong, it seems like I always got it. It's been that way since I was growing up."
This ability — coupled with his leadership skills and passion for people and the baking industry — has propelled him through dozens of acquisitions, three life-cycles of his company and up the ladder to director of manufacturing for Oak Brook, Ill.-based TreeHouse Foods. It's also earned Mr. Holland the distinction of being named Baking & Snack's 2017 Operations Executive of the Year.
What makes Mr. Holland so special?
"I challenge people — and myself — to think every day, 'What am I going to do that will make this place better than it was yesterday?'" he observed.
He picked up this mentality from his father.
"My dad always said, 'Everybody's just looking to get by … you do whatever you're asked to do and then some. Go above and beyond, and you'll set yourself apart from the rest.'"
Those are the best words of advice anyone can give their son, or anyone in the baking and snack industry.

Heal Trauma
Foster Care: safe, loving homes for youth in care
Being a foster parent is Charlene Carter's way of making a difference in the world and in the lives of the kids who are placed into her care. "I want the children who come into my home to know that someone cares for and loves them," said Carter.
During Charlene's 32 years as a Kids Above All foster parent, she has provided a safe, loving home for more than 30 children and has adopted or been named the legal guardian of 14 others. She first became a foster parent when asked by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) to temporarily care for the children of a family member. After they had been successfully reunited with their mother, Charlene realized that she had found her calling. She started researching foster parenting and found Kids Above All through Ed Woodley, a member of Carter's church and a foster care case worker at the agency.
In her more than three decades, she and James, her husband of 18 years, have cared for children who have experienced abuse, neglect and violence. She credits the family atmosphere of her Kids Above All team for helping her kids to succeed.
"I couldn't do what I do without the help of my team at Kids Above All. They are the best, and make sure the child and I have everything we need."
Charlene acknowledges that fostering is not always easy. "These kids have many challenges, but I believe that if you welcome them with a heart that is ready to give, a little love and patience can go a long way." One such child is Isaiah, who came to her care when he was 11 years old.
Isaiah had been hospitalized more than 20 times for behavioral issues associated with bi-polar and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD) disorders, and his mother couldn't take care of him anymore. Charlene met him at the hospital and promised him that he would get the help he needed so that he would never have to go back. Ms. Carter and her Kids Above All team made sure that he had the proper medication and regularly attended counseling sessions to begin the process of healing from the trauma of his mother's decision.
Isaiah later had an opportunity to reunite with his mother but chose to remain with Charlene, saying that the stability and love he felt from her made her house feel like home.
Isaiah thrived in high school, playing football in the fall and wrestling in the winter. He started college in Peoria this past August and already has a job in the school's athletic department.
Charlene also kept her promise to Isaiah: He's never returned to the hospital.
All of the more than 30 children who have been in Ms. Carter's care have finished high school and are currently employed. They get together on holidays, birthdays and Mother's Day, and two years ago, when Charlene and James renewed their vows, more than 100 people attended, including the biological mother of one of Charlene's foster children, who spoke about the impact Charlene had on her child's life.
Ms. Carter believes so strongly in the power of fostering that she got her four sisters involved as Kids Above All foster parents. She knows that there are many more children who need safe, loving homes to help them reach their potential, and says that while being a foster parent has its challenges, it is also very rewarding.
"These children come into my home after experiencing tough times, and when they accomplish their goals – finishing school, getting a job and starting a family – and take the lessons they learned in my home and apply them to their lives, I know that I have done my job and have given them the love they needed."

Race And Politics This Week
By Asma Khalid
Published August 3, 2019 at 7:57 AM EDT
From the Oval Office - or at least the presidential smartphone - to the Democratic debates and in Congress, race continues to drive U.S. politics. This week, the president continued to taunt one of the leading African American Democrats in the House. And the only black Republican in the House announced that he won't run for re-election. All that while the Democrats running for president made many promises to voters of color. We're going to turn for some perspective on this to NPR political correspondent Asma Khalid.
Asma, thanks so much for being with us.
ASMA KHALID, BYLINE: My pleasure.
SIMON: Will Hurd, lone black Republican in the House, is leaving. That statement alone might make a statement. How big is this development?
KHALID: It is hugely symbolic. Will Hurd is not only the sole black Republican in the House. He's the only Republican to represent a district along the U.S.-Mexico border. You know, he was a rather vocal critic at times of the president at a time when many in the Republican Party had been reticent to criticize him. You know, when the president was very critical recently of freshman members of Congress, a couple of women telling them that they should go back to where they came from, Hurd was one of just four House Republicans who voted for a resolution to condemn the president's comments. So in symbolic terms, I feel like you cannot really overstate how significant this. Is in terms of real power, though, it is a district that Democrats have a good shot at picking up. It's a district that Hillary Clinton won in 2016, and it is majority Hispanic.
SIMON: I want to ask you about the president's tweets about Representative Cummings of Baltimore, Md. President just hasn't let up on that.
KHALID: No, this has been an ongoing attack. It began last weekend, where the president described Baltimore as this rodent, rat-infested mess. And he said that Elijah Cummings, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, should really use his committee to start doing more oversight of Baltimore. On Friday morning, the president took to social media, his so favorite social media platform - again, Twitter - and announced the Baltimore house of Elijah Cummings was robbed. Too bad - exclamation mark.
Cummings' home was indeed burglarized. This occurred before the president took to Twitter, but it was - you know, this response from the president - just the latest attack on Cummings. It is worth mentioning that in response to the president's tweet about Cummings' house being robbed, Nikki Haley responded, this is so unnecessary. And she had one of those upside-down questioning face emojis. Haley was Trump's ambassador to the United Nations. She herself is a woman of color - she's Indian American.
SIMON: Are there Republicans who worry about becoming an all-white party while the country's demographics are changing?
KHALID: There are, no doubt, some Republicans who worry about that when they look at the long-term electoral possibilities of the Republican Party. But there's also the sense that it's possible for the Republican Party to squeeze out another presidential election, maybe more with the current demographics. But, you know, as we were talking about Will Hurd, Will Hurd is sort of symbolic of the composition changing within the Republican Party. And it's not so much the Republican Party's demographics have necessarily changed. It's that the country's demographics have changed, and the Republican Party has remained relatively the same. About 30 percent of all voters in the country nowadays are non-white, and you don't really see that represented in the Republican Party.
SIMON: Let me ask about the Democrats because you were at the debates. Democratic presidential candidates - a lot of them were very explicit about race and policies they would like to address - racial justice and inequality. What kind of impact does that seem to have on the campaign trail?
KHALID: I would say it depends on the subset of the Democratic Party that you're speaking to. You know, the flip side of a lot of the changes we've seen in terms of the makeup of the parties has been that as the Republican Party has attracted more and more white, non-college-educated voters, the Democratic Party is pulling in more white, college-educated voters. These are folks who tell me that they even at times self-identify as fiscal conservatives.
They've been disgusted with some of the way that they feel the president has responded on race and immigration issues. But the question is, you know, does that transfer over to, say, how they feel about some of these broad, progressive economic policies that we have some Democrats talking about - say, getting rid of private health insurance?
And I'm not sure that that's the case. So I would say it really depends on the subset of the Democratic Party that we're talking about.
SIMON: NPR's Asma Khalid, thanks so much.
KHALID: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The power of the wolf brings forth instinct, intelligence, appetite for freedom, and awareness of the importance of social connections. This animal can also symbolize fear of being threatened and lack of trust.
As human beings, social connection, fear and trust are fundamental to thriving and surviving. However, fear and lack of trust when not understood or communicated in a way that others can understand will affect our ability to connect with ourselves, others and our environment.
An ongoing lack of connection can erode self-esteem and perpetuate relationship conflict and dissatisfaction, depression, anger, anxiety, addiction, stress, etc., thus further decreasing connection. When ignored, this cycle can escalate and lead to more destructive forms of survival and attempts to connect.
Wolf Counseling offers relational, systemic, experiential and mindfulness approaches to create change and connection when counseling clients. Wolf Counseling also specializes in trauma-informed care, attachment, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, addiction and Anger Management.
Leah Wolf holds a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and a Bachelor's degree in Contemplative Psychology with a focus in Humanistic & Transpersonal and Somatic Psychology. She is a marriage and family therapist candidate for licensure in her field, and is authorized by the Colorado Department of Regulations Division of Occupations to practice psychotherapy for couples, families and individuals.


A coalition, Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC), has sent a letter of petition to the International Criminal Court prosecutor, Madam Amie Bensouda, urging the court to investigate, arrest and prosecute persons connected with the gruesome murders, grievous bodily harm and assault of indigenes of Rivers State during the 2015 general election in the state.
According to CSNAC in a petition signed by its chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju, and made available to newsmen, the coalition stated that the Nigerian Government has consistently failed to carry out its constitutional role in unraveling criminal mysteries and ensuring that criminals are adequately punished, hence the need for the petition to the court.
While stating that the defection of former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and several other citizens of Rivers State from the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) which was the then opposition party, triggered unprecedented threats, aggressions and breakdown of law and order, days leading to the election from both parties, the network stressed that federal might was deployed to deal severely and ruthlessly with people considered to be in opposition.
"The wife of former president, Mrs. Patience Jonathan was fingered in misuse of state apparatus and abuse of power during campaigns,resulting in the wanton killings and infliction of grievous bodily harm on several citizens in Rivers State.Journalists on professional assignment were not spared in a wanton destruction of properties, disruption of campaigns and attack on human persons.
"The various criminal acts were perpetrated with alleged support of Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of the former president. The said onslaught was allegedly coordinated by AIG Mbu Joseph Mbu, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, (then Commissioner of Police in charge of Rivers State Command) and Deputy Commissioner of Police John Amadi now posted to Nigerian Railways Corporation, Lagos (then the Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations in Rivers State).
CSNAC noted that in the mayhem, over hundred people were brutally murdered. Some were inflicted with grievous bodily harm while others were unlawfully arrested and detained by the Nigerian Police in collusion with the perpetrators of these crimes.
Mr. Charles Wobodo amongst others.
"Sadly, the Nigerian government has displayed nonchalant commitment to seeking redress for the victims and, punishment for the perpetrators of the crimes. More than 10 months after the election, no individual or group has been reportedlyinvestigated, arrested or prosecuted for these grievous crimes.
"CSNAC is by this petition requesting that your office conducts a thorough investigation into these alleged crimes against humanity as well as prosecute persons found culpable.The Nigerian Government has consistently failed to carry out its constitutional role in unraveling criminal mysteries and ensuring that criminals are adequately punished.
"Nigeria's highest court recently affirmed the outcomes of flawed election. Local and international observers of the Rivers elections severally confirmed the unimaginable rate of violence visited on the electorate.
"The Supreme Court's judgment is tantamount to legitimizing electoral violence, anarchy and abuse of power. Rule of law and justice is sacrosanct to the establishment of a peaceful and sane society. Therefore, allowing these crimes go unpunished will plunge the society into anarchy and doom.
"We urge your office to take appropriate action to forestall an ugly situation. This request is in the line of your promise, via a statement issued days leading to the 2015 election, promising to bring perpetrators of violence or any other act covered in the Rome Statute to justice under the ICC," the CSNAC stated.
REQUEST FOR THE INVESTIGATION, ARREST AND PROSECUTION OF PERSONS CONNECTED WITH THE GRUESOME MURDERS, GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM AND ASSAULT OF INDIGENES OF RIVER STATE, NIGERIA.
Following the defection of former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and several other citizens of Rivers State from the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) which was the then opposition party, there were unprecedented threats, aggressions and breakdown of law and order, days leading to the election from both parties. Federal might was deployed to deal severely and ruthlessly with people considered to be in opposition. The wife of former president, Mrs. Patience Jonathan was fingered in misuse of state apparatus and abuse of power during campaigns, resulting in the wanton killings and infliction of grievous bodily harm on several citizens in Rivers State. Journalists on professional assignment were not spared in a wanton destruction of properties, disruption of campaigns and attack on human persons.
The various criminal acts were perpetrated with alleged support of Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of the former president. The said onslaught was allegedly coordinated by AIG Mbu Joseph Mbu, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, (then Commissioner of Police in charge of Rivers State Command) and Deputy Commissioner of Police John Amadi now posted to Nigerian Railways Corporation, Lagos (then the Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations in Rivers State).
Besides the aforementioned, several other persons were also alleged to have instigated and induced the politically motivated killings and violence against innocent citizens and known opposition members and in some instances directly procured and financed the execution of the crimes.
Also, thugs who were acting on the instructions of the aforementioned masterminds destroyed properties worth millions of naira across the State. It is important to note that reports of these crimes were made to the Police by concerned citizens and reported in the media. Unfortunately, however, the Police Force neglected and/or refused to diligently investigate and prosecute the incidents, leaving the several crimes unresolved. This is not unconnected with the fact that some senior police officials were procured by the alleged masterminds to coordinate these crimes against Nigerians. Sadly, the Nigerian government has displayed nonchalant commitment to seeking redress for the victims and, punishment for the perpetrators of the crimes. More than 10 months after the election, no individual or group has been reportedly investigated, arrested or prosecuted for these grievous crimes.
CSNAC is by this petition requesting that your office conducts a thorough investigation into these alleged crimes against humanity as well as prosecute persons found culpable. The Nigerian Government has consistently failed to carry out its constitutional role in unraveling criminal mysteries and ensuring that criminals are adequately punished.
Nigeria's highest court recently affirmed the outcomes of flawed election. Local and international observers of the Rivers elections severally confirmed the unimaginable rate of violence visited on the electorate. The Supreme courts judgment is tantamount to legitimizing electoral violence, anarchy and abuse of power. Rule of law and justice is sacrosanct to the establishment of a peaceful and sane society. Therefore, allowing these crimes go unpunished will plunge the society into anarchy and doom. We urge your office to take appropriate action to forestall an ugly situation. This request is in the line of your promise, via a statement issued days leading to the 2015 election, promising to bring perpetrators of violence or any other act covered in the Rome Statute to justice under the ICC.

Multiplatinum phenomenon YUNG GRAVY unveils new single, Betty (Get Money)
Multiplatinum phenomenon YUNG GRAVY unveils new single, Betty (Get Money) Christian Melanie Lee 2:49 PM
Strutting back into the spotlight, multiplatinum hip-hop phenomenon Yung Gravy returns with a brand new single and video entitled "Betty (Get Money)".
Listen to "Betty (Get Money)"—HERE
"Betty (Get Money)" pops off as a generation-bridging banger of the highest order produced by Dillon Francis, Dwilly, and Popnick. On the track, Gravy reignites the classic chorus of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" (and its iconic synths). In between, he ignites one clever and catchy bar after another until he turns up on the hook, "Never take a L no more, never take a damn thing slow, all I know is chase this dough and get money." Directed by Adriaan Kirchner, the 80's inspired music video finds Gravy surrounded by beautiful synchronized dancers in elaborate settings as he dons fresh white suiting, a fur coat, and hard bottom shoes.
About the single, he commented, "With every project I've done, I've always had a continuing narrative with MILF names. This is like the eighth name. 'Betty' is a dope one. It's inspired by Betty White, RIP. I reserved the title for one of my favorite songs."
It paves the way for much more music to come from Gravy very soon.
This year alone, Gravy has only accelerated his meteoric rise. He co-headlined a massive tour with Dillon Francis and unleashed the Cake & Cognac EP. Additionally, he played to packed arenas with the legendary Limp Bizkit. He has also churned out a series of RIAA certified platinum and gold bangers thus far. These include the platinum "Mr. Clean," platinum "1 Thot 2 Thot Red Thot Blue Thot," gold "oops!!!," gold "Magic" and gold "Whip A Tesla" with bbno$.
