SAN DIEGO — It's a nerve-racking place: on stage, behind the mic, looking out at a sea of people waiting for your punch line.The Comedy Palace in San Diego sees many comedians but not like the one who performed Friday night."It was something I thought about even in college but lacked the courage to do it," said Michael Schmid. "I always loved to make people laugh."Schmid always had the passion, but it was a recent visit to the doctor that gave him the courage he had been lacking."If not now, when?" Schmid said.Three years ago, he was diagnosed with primary lateral sclerosis, a condition similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS."It had spread to my upper body and becoming more quadriplegic," Schmid said.One month ago, he made the toughest decision of his life."The most difficult thing I ever had to do in my life was to talk to my children about ending my life," he said.Schmid says he will end his life on December 27, citing severe pain. He shared the date with one of his favorite comedians, along with a dream and a request for help."My initial response was 'We're going to make this happen,' " said Lisa Alvarado.Alvarado talked with some friends in the industry to see if they'd help make Schmid's dream of performing come true."I'm talking comics with Netflix specials, Comedy Central specials," Alvarado said.In one month, the group developed a 15-minute standup comedy routine for Schmid to deliver Friday night. Many of the professional comedians were in the audience as Schmid performed in his wheelchair with Alvarado holding his microphone.After the performance, Schmid's father made his way to the stage to give his son a hug."I never expected him to do that and show the world we're close," said Schmid.Schmid's ex-wife and his four children were also in the audience."No matter how crappy of a hand he's been dealt, he's taken it with a joke," said Schmid's son Joshua.Schmid is grateful he had a chance to laugh."I want my friends and family to have at least that memory when I'm gone," Schmid said. "Do not just give up where you're at ... always strive and reach for something else.""Even if it is the end of your life," he said, "you can be more than you are right now." 2256

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Legoland and its parent company for allegedly not providing refunds after the Carlsbad theme park was closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The suit was filed Monday in San Diego federal court on behalf of Los Angeles County resident Joyce Case against Merlin Entertainments Limited, which operates Legoland, Tussauds Hollywood, Tussauds San Francisco, the San Francisco Dungeon and Legoland Florida.The suit alleges Case purchased tickets to Legoland for a March 21 trip and ended up "one of the many consumers stuck with tickets to a canceled event who has been unable to obtain a refund," according to the complaint.Legoland representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.RELATED:San Diego Zoo hopes to reopen in 'coming weeks' under new limitsSan Diego cleared to reopen zoos, gyms, bars and wineries, day campsSan Diego theme parks aim for July 1 reopeningThe suit seeks refunds for all customers who paid for tickets, memberships and vacation packages that have since been canceled due to COVID- 19, and damages to compensate customers "for the loss of use of their money during a time when cash is at a premium for the many families targeted by Defendants that are struggling to get by."The complaint states that the terms and conditions of agreements to purchase tickets to Legoland and other Merlin Entertainments Parks hold that if events are canceled, refunds must be paid."Closing of these venues, and cancellation of these events, should have meant that ticketholders were promptly refunded their money -- money that in many cases was very much needed for other purposes," the complaint states. "But that did not happen for customers, who bought tickets, memberships, and vacation packages for Defendants' attractions. Instead, Defendants failed to honor and perform their duties, responsibilities, and obligations under their uniform standardized agreements with their customers, thereby breaching their contracts, but nonetheless pocketed their customers' money and converted it for their own use."A similar class-action lawsuit was filed against SeaWorld last month in San Diego federal court. In that suit, SeaWorld is accused of continuing to charge monthly membership fees to customers during the park's closure. 2329

SAN DIEGO - (KGTV) A San Diego biotech company is doing research that could lead to a vaccine against the coronavirus.Todd Nelson is the CEO of SGI-DNA in Sorrento Valley. His company invented the first automated gene printer. "We use that system actually to print genes. Genes are made of little building blocks that you've heard of, and we use that to rapidly, and in an automated fashion, print genes that researchers can use around the world for vaccine development. "RELATED: Miramar coronavirus evacuees start petition for quarantine oversightThe printer is called the BIO XP 3200. Roughly, 200 are in use around the world. "We're basically taking an entire laboratory of researchers that are doing various things, and we put it in a box," said Nelson.Researchers are using the printer to write the genes of the coronavirus."Even a nasty little thing like the coronavirus has its own genes, and there are certain genes that make that amenable to being a vaccine, and we know what those are so we put the information into the system, and we push a button and about 8 hours later that potential gene comes out ," said Nelson. RELATED: Mislabeled sample led to release of San Diego coronavirus patientNelson is confident the technology will lead to a vaccine. "We're partnering with pharmaceutical firms to develop that in a very, very rapid fashion in the next 7 to 10 days to develop a vaccine," said Nelson. The company used the same technology to help develop a vaccine for the Bird Flu in 2013. Dan Gibson is the company's chief technology officer and the inventor of the technology used in the gene printer.RELATED: First case of coronavirus confirmed in San Diego"That's really the power of synthetic DNA technology. You can keep up with the virus and write and build many vaccines to fight it and ultimately find a universal solution that puts an end to the coronavirus outbreak." 1900

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KGTV) -- California State legislators announced Wednesday that they have agreed to reverse the proposed cuts in education in next year's budget, assuming that the federal government will step in with a stimulus package. Last month, Governor Gavin Newsom said the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a billion shortfall, which included an billion cut in education. But on Wednesday, Senate pro Tempore Toni Atkins announced in a joint statement:"Acknowledging the strong likelihood of additional federal relief, the plan would use reserves to avoid overcutting now, while still keeping reserves on hand for the future, and ensuring full funding of k-14 schools.""We are tremendously encouraged by the news that we are hearing," San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Cindy Marten said. But school board vice president Richard Barrera said that is only the first step.The San Diego Unified School District serves its 105,000 students on a .3 billion annual budget. But with challenges mounted by the pandemic, Barrera said they would need at least 0 million more to reopen schools safely. "We'll need more staff, more nursing support, more counseling support, more custodial support to clean the classrooms regularly, and physical protective equipment for the staff," Barrera said. Barrera added, with less federal funding, the longer students will have to continue distance learning. But Marten said other factors also contribute to a full reopening come fall. "Starting school back up again, it's not going to be a flipping of a switch. It's a dimmer switch because there are different models. There's a money side to it, there's a health guideline side to it, and their personal preference side to it," Marten explained. Some students with compromised immune systems will continue to require robust distance learning. But the district's goal is to return to a mostly in-person teaching curriculum. "The whole country knows that we need our schools open," Marten said. "It gets the economy up and running again. It allows parents to go back to work. But more importantly, it gets kids the education they need so that there is not that additional learning loss that students have already endured because of this pandemic."State legislators have until June 15, 2020, to finalize the budget proposal. Based on that, the San Diego Unified School District will build its annual budget by June 30, 2020. 2445

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Salvadoran woman seeking asylum in the United States spends her days holed up in her cousin's cramped slum house just across the border in Mexico — too scared to leave after receiving a savage beating from two men three weeks ago while she was strolling home from a convenience store.The assault came after she spent four months in captivity in Mexico, kidnapped into prostitution during her journey toward the U.S.The woman, 31, is among 55,000 migrants who have been returned to Mexico by the Trump administration to wait for their cases to wind through backlogged immigration courts. Her situation offers a glimpse into some of the program's problems.Critics have said the administration's policy denies asylum seekers like the Salvadoran woman fair and humane treatment, forcing them to wait in a country plagued by drug-fueled violence — illustrated this week by the slaughter near the U.S. border of six children and three women . All were U.S. citizens living in Mexico.The Trump administration insists that the program is a safe alternative in collaboration with the government of Mexico, even as the president vows to wage war on drug cartels that are a dominant presence in the dangerous border cities where migrants are forced to wait.The Department of Homeland Security added in a report last week that the program is "an indispensable tool in addressing the ongoing crisis at the southern border and restoring integrity to the immigration system."The woman said in an interview that she fled Santa Ana, El Salvador, on Jan. 31 after days on the run from a police officer who demanded sexual acts.She never said goodbye to her five children — ages 5 to 12 —fearing the officer would discover where they lived. The Associated Press granted her anonymity because she fears for her safety if her identity is revealed.She said she was kidnapped after leaving a Mexican government office on its southern border with Guatemala after inquiring about getting asylum in Mexico.She and others were taken in a minivan to Ciudad Juarez, on Mexico's border with Texas. Captors in a large room argued over who would take possession of the men, women and children gathered there.One wanted to extort money from her family. A second wanted to force her into prostitution and she ended up with him before her escape this summer to the home of a stranger who paid for her bus ticket to her cousin who lives across the border from San Diego.She said she shared her story with U.S. authorities after she walked across the border illegally alone on Sept. 18 where the wall ends in Tijuana, Mexico, and waited for an agent to arrest her. They rejected her pleas that it was too dangerous for her to return to Mexico to wait for a date in U.S. immigration court for a judge to hear her case.Then, on Oct. 14., she said she was punched and whipped with a belt by assailants near her cousin's home in a hillside neighborhood of dirt and concrete roads and empty, half-built homes occupied by drug addicts and squatters.She still had bruises as her case was heard last week in San Diego, when immigration Judge Lee O'Connor made no secret of his disdain for the policy of keeping asylum seekers waiting in Mexico.The scene in the courtroom was chaotic, with the infant child of a Honduran woman whimpering and then bellowing as O'Connor entered."Silence in the courtroom!" he barked. A guard escorted the child and his mother to the hallway.The judge questioned the two attorneys representing asylum seekers about how long it took them to visit clients in Mexico, noting infamously long waits to cross the border."Hours," the judge marveled.But the judge ruled the Salvadoran woman and the Honduran family were ineligible for the program because, in his view, the law governing asylum seekers only allows it for people who present themselves at official border crossings — not for immigrants like her who entered illegally.Customs and Border Protection officials then sent the woman back to Mexico with a notice telling her she had another court date set for Dec. 16, even though her case had been terminated.The woman's lawyer, Siobhan Waldron, accused Customs and Border Protection of making up the Dec. 16 court date to get the woman out of the U.S. and back to Mexico. Waldron said she does not know what will come next for her client.Customs and Border Protection did not provide answers to emailed questions about the woman's case. But Kathryn Mattingly, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review, confirmed Wednesday that the Salvadoran woman has no future court dates set.For now, the Salvadoran woman sleeps on a foam mattress in a sparsely furnished one-bedroom home of concrete slabs and plywood walls — still scared to leave.She claimed that U.S. authorities told her while she was in custody that efforts to remain in the U.S. were futile."There's nothing you can do," she said she was told by one official. "This is not your country."___Associated Press writer Maria Verza in Mexico City contributed to this report. 5083
