A controversial bill that would force clergy members to report some confessions will come to a vote next week.The proposed bill would not apply to all confessions between a member of the clergy and their congregation. It would only cover suspected cases of possible child abuse or neglect.If the bill gets approved, then members of the church would be classified as mandated reporters for the first time in history. Clergy members, like priests, who do not comply with the law, should it pass, could face possible prosecution.Critics of the proposed bill say priests in the Roman Catholic Church could be excommunicated if forced to reveal confessions.The bill was recently approved in the Senate Public Safety Committee in a unanimous five to zero vote.The next hearing is set for Aprill 22. 804

A confluence of factors led to 52 people being shot, 10 fatally, in Chicago over the weekend, including gangs, drugs, an ineffective justice system and a season of hot weather that often ushers bloodshed into the city, the police chief said Monday."Despite the investments and progress in safety, weekends like this remind us all of the challenges that we face and that they are complex and profound," Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson told reporters.In addition to seeing gangbangers settle conflicts with firearms, officers in the northern part of the city witnessed "tensions related to the open-air drug market that's occurring on the West Side," Deputy Chief Al Nagode said.After some of the gang violence on the West and South sides spilled into other neighborhoods, Johnson said, police increased patrols to stave off chances for retaliation. Police seized 92 guns, doubled the confiscations for a normal weekend, and made 18 gun-related arrests, the chief said.Johnson calls out courtsYet despite the Chicago Police Department's efforts -- which includes planting department brass among patrol teams -- Johnson said his officers need help from the courts and the community, especially during the summer months in which the city typically turns so violent.That Johnson's commanders were nearby when some of the shootings occurred -- one district commander was half a block away when someone was shot on Central Park Avenue -- demonstrates how brazen the gunmen are, the superintendent said."We cannot -- can't -- do this without the support of the community or a unified criminal justice system that keeps gun offenders out of our neighborhoods," Johnson said. "We know who a lot of these people are, and how do we know that? Because we keep arresting them ... so until we hold violent offenders accountable the way that they should be, we're going to continue to see this."He said half of the people arrested on gun charges are back on the street within a week. Asked to provide a breakdown of that figure, Johnson urged reporters to research it for themselves.His message, however, was clear: the Chicago Police Department is doing everything it can, but it needs the city to embrace an "all hands on deck" approach that includes residents, business leaders and community groups to do their parts, he said.'Accountability Mondays'The violent weekend came as the department announced Saturday that crime was down 9% in the first five months of 2019, compared with the same period last year.A statement released early Saturday said murders were down 7% and shootings were down 13% from January 1 through May 31, compared with 2018.There were 186 homicides through May 31, compared with 200 in the same period last year, according to a CPD statement.

Scientists are working to eliminate a type of heart disease in dogs using gene therapy. They're zoning in on a heart condition called mitral valve disease that’s common in 6% of dogs. Scientists are using Cavalier King Charles spaniels for the research. They tend to develop it at a younger age. Scientists at Tufts University have already tested gene therapy in mice. A virus is injected into them to deliver DNA to cells which causes them to create a protein. What it essentially does is stops the heart valve from getting thicker, stopping the valve from leaking. Researchers are now moving on to testing this in dogs. But they think the treatment could go beyond just canines. “Many of the dog diseases are naturally occurring and really great models for human disease,” says Dr. Vicky Yang, a veterinary cardiologist and research assistant professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. “And I can see this, if it becomes successful in dogs, potentially going into thinking about treatment for humans for mitral valve disease.”The biotech company behind the treatment agrees. It says it could also expand beyond heart problems. “I think a larger question, though, is if we are able to prove this thesis of treating aging, making the animal generally healthier, could also treat heart failure, what other diseases could we treat in dogs?” says Daniel Oliver, the CEO of Rejuvenate Bio. “And could we progress this treatment onto past dogs and other animals and possibly humans?” The gene therapy would only be used for dogs just starting to experience heart problems.Researchers still need to make sure the gene therapy is safe for all breeds before they make it available to the public. 1730

A lawsuit filed against the University of California system wants colleges to stop using SAT and ACT scores in the admissions process.The lawsuit was filed Tuesday on behalf of four students and several nonprofits. It claims standardized tests are discriminatory to people with disabilities, low-income students and minorities."These discriminatory tests irreparably taint UC’s ostensibly 'holistic' admissions process," the lawsuit states. "The mere presence of the discriminatory metric of SAT and ACT scores in the UC admissions process precludes admissions officers from according proper weight to meaningful criteria, such as academic achievement and personal qualities, and requires them instead to consider criteria that act as a proxy for wealth and race and thus concentrate privilege on UC campuses."Consequently, the UC admissions process — as deliberately operated by the Regents — creates formidable barriers to access to public higher education for deserving students from low-income families, students from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, and students with disabilities. The requirement that all applicants submit SAT or ACT scores systematically and unlawfully denies talented and qualified students with less accumulated advantage a fair opportunity to pursue higher education at the UC."The University of California is the largest public university system in the U.S., with 10 campuses and more than 280,000 students.The UC system said in a statement it is disappointed by the lawsuit since its officials are already making efforts to address the concern. The College Board, which administers the SAT, was also quick to respond. It said any allegation of the test being discriminatory is wrong and it focuses on combating educational inequalities.Universities across the country typically use standardized tests in their admissions processes, but some are phasing them out.
