At least 28 churches around the country have now opened their doors to people fearing deportation and family separation. First Unitarian Church in Denver was one of the first to adopt the designation.Reverend Mike Moran with First Unitarian Church says it hasn’t always been easy.“We have received threats. We have received bomb threats, personal threats,” he explains.Members of the church formed a volunteer guard network, partly because of those threats. They patrol the church and guard the door almost 24-hours per day.Randy Chase, 69, is one of the guards. He spends much of his time on duty checking to make sure doors are closed and locked.“These instructions envision talking to officials and officers through the door, through this crack in the door and passing paper back and forth,” says Chase, pointing to a piece of paper taped to a wall.Chase says he worries his friendly nature may be taken by immigration agents as an invitation to come in. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have come under scrutiny in the past for what some critics say are tricky tactics.Chase says he’s concerned those tactics could affect Jeanette Vizguerra, the woman he is trying to protect.Vizguerra has spent more than two decades in the U.S. and hasn’t been able to get citizenship. She has a stay order, which allows her to remain in the U.S. She’s living in sanctuary at First Unitarian Church.“I am an activist for more than 25 years,” Vizguerra says in Spanish. She’s worried her position as an activist makes her one of ICE’s targets.“I am of 10 people around the country who are very vocal. My social media accounts are monitored,” she explains.Vizguerra sees the church as the safest place she can be while her case plays out. She says it won’t impact her activism.“I see my future as continuing to help people because it is my nature,” says Viguerra. “That is my challenge to achieve solutions to the issue of immigration.” 1947

Athletes at universities in California are one step closer to being able to profit off their likeness as sweeping legislation meant to neuter the NCAA's amateurism bylaws was approved by the state's Senate on Wednesday. Meanwhile on Wednesday, NCAA leaders sent a letter to California's Gov. Gavin Newsom to claim that the legislation is "harmful" and "unconstitutional." After House and Senate approval, the bill now sits on the governor's desk.The NCAA claims that the legislation would create an unequal playing field. "California Senate Bill 206 would upend that balance," the NCAA said in its letter to Newsom. "If the bill becomes law and California’s 58 NCAA schools are compelled to allow an unrestricted name, image and likeness scheme, it would erase the critical distinction between college and professional athletics and, because it gives those schools an unfair recruiting advantage, would result in them eventually being unable to compete in NCAA competitions. These outcomes are untenable and would negatively impact more than 24,000 California student-athletes across three divisions."The bill would allow student athletes to earn money off endorsements, autograph sessions and public appearances. The bill would not require colleges to pay athletes. The legislation was unanimously approved by both the House and Senate this week.Under current bylaws, even something as simple as someone buying lunch for a student athlete would be considered an improper benefit.Complicating matters for the NCAA, the legislation would prohibit the NCAA from banning teams in California from participating in intercollegiate competitions. That point could force the NCAA to either make dramatic changes to its bylaws or take the state of California to court.The legislation would be effective as of Jan. 1, 2023.In May, the NCAA announced the formation of a working group of college administrators. Their goal is to examine how to respond to legislation like the one put forth by California. Ohio State Director of Athletics Gene Smith said that the NCAA is not interested in having colleges directly paying student athletes.“While the formation of this group is an important step to confirming what we believe as an association, the group’s work will not result in paying students as employees,” Smith said. “That structure is contrary to the NCAA’s educational mission and will not be a part of this discussion.”The working group said in May it would provide an update in August, but so far, has not provided an update.While the NCAA, led by President Mark Emmert, and others are staunchly against paying athletes, college athletics is flushed with money, and its practitioners are handsomely compensated. In 2016, the NCAA and CBS came to an .8 billion, eight-year extension to air the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.In 2012, ESPN agreed to a .3 billion deal through 2026 to air the College Football Playoff.One of the NCAA leaders who signed the letter on Wednesday was Ohio State President Michael Drake. Ohio State's men's basketball coach is paid more than million a season. Ohio State's new head football coach is paid .6 million.The players are compensated with a college scholarship which generally includes room and board. A player who receives what the NCAA deems as an improper benefit, such as an endorsement deal or a free lunch, would be considered ineligible. There have been many instances of players breaking NCAA bylaws, causing teams to be disqualified from NCAA championships. The bill has not only received bipartisan support, it has garnered support from athletes, including Lakers forward LeBron James. 3651

At its height, millions of smartphone users played along to HQ Trivia, a live trivia game show where anyone could win actual cash. Depending on the number of winners on a given night, winners could earn anything from pennies to thousands. But as of Friday, it appears the smartphone game is no more. HQ Trivia has suspended the service, the company announced on its app on Friday. CNN was first to report the news. CNN reported that HQ Trivia is laying off its remaining 25 employees. In an email obtained by CNN, CEO Rus Yusupov told employees, "Lead investors are no longer willing to fund the company, and so effective today, HQ will cease operations and move to dissolution."The service launched late in 2017, and turned its then host Scott Rogowsky into a celebrity. Rogowsky made appearances on various TV outlets, promoting the game. Rogowsky stepped down from the game in 2019. The app won a host of awards, and even was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Interactive Program. 1015

Bugatti unveiled its latest limited-edition model at a classic car show in California Friday. The Bugatti Centodieci will cost million and only 10 will be made.This car is an homage to the Bugatti EB110 supercar of the early 1990s. Centodieci means 110 in Italian. The EB110 was built in Northern Italy's "Motor Valley," not far from where Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maseratis are made. It was an attempt to revive the Bugatti brand, which had been dormant since the 1950s. The Centodieci's design recalls the EB110s low, aggressive appearance.That business ultimately failed, but the automobile it created is still regarded as one of the greatest supercars ever made. The prototype for the EB110 was designed by Carlo Gandini, the same man who designed the Lamborghini Countach. The final production versions of the car were designed by Giampaolo Benedini, who was also an avid racing driver.Volkswagen Group purchased the Bugatti brand name in 1998 and built its modern production facility at Bugatti's ancestral home in Molsheim, France. With the backing of one of the world's largest automakers, Bugatti now makes fast cars for the extremely wealthy, much as it did in the first decades of the 20th century.Until recently, the modern Bugatti factory produced only one car model at a time. The Veryon was offered from 2005 to 2015, with various changes and improvements made throughout its life. Then the Chiron entered production in 2016. Both cars were designed to be astonishingly fast but comfortable and easy to drive, thanks to massive turbocharged 16-cylinder engines mounted behind the two seats. When it was first introduced, the Bugatti Veyron cost about .5 million. The Bugatti Chiron costs more than million.The Centodieci is Bugatti's latest attempt at branching out. During last year's Monterey car week, a series of automotive events leading up to the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August, Bugatti unveiled the Divo. It started at almost million and, Bugatti promised, only 40 would be made.Then, at the Geneva Motor Show last March, Bugatti unveiled another special car of which only one would be made. At almost million, including taxes, Bugatti claimed that La Voiture Noire was the most expensive new car ever sold. Much of that car's value stemmed from its extraordinary exclusivity being that the owner, whose name was never revealed, will have the only one.All three of these new Bugatti models are substantially similar, in terms of their underlying engineering, to the Chiron. All have Bugatti's turbocharged 16-cylinder engine although, in the Centodieci, it's specially tuned to produce up to 1,600 horsepower, 100 more than the Chiron. This car is also slightly lighter than the Chiron. It can go from a full stop to 60 miles an hour in just 2.4 seconds. But its top speed is limited to 236 miles an hour, which is lower than the Chiron's.The body of the Centodieci is designed to be reminiscent of the low, wide stance and wedge-like shape of the EB110."Transporting this classic look into the new millennium without copying it was technically complex, to say the least," said Bugatti designer Achim Anscheidt.The Centodieci's horizontal headlamps set into the hood mimic those of the EB110, but they're narrower and more aggressive thanks to modern LED technology. Instead of the Chiron's swooping C-shaped lines around the big side vents, the Centodieci has openings with straight edges and a cluster of round holes. The Centodieci also has a permanently raised rear wing, unlike the Chiron's wing, which can be lowered so that it lays against the car's body. Both those features -- the vent holes and raised rear wing -- were drawn from the Bugatti EB110 SS, a very high performance version of that car.All 10 of the supercars have already been pre-sold. Customers were able to order their Centodieci in, literally, any color they like. 3908

At a Sunday night vigil honoring the victims of the West Texas mass shooting, Odessa Mayor David Turner praised authorities for ramming into the hijacked mail truck the shooter was driving and putting an end to his killing spree.Seven people were killed and 22 others were wounded when 36-year-old Seth Ator began randomly spraying the roads with bullets after getting pulled over for failing to use his signal, police said."The reason that person was stopped was because of a Midland police officer and an Odessa police officer. They rammed his car, stopped him and when he got out, they shot him," he said.Moving forward will be difficult, Turner said "but with strength and a 'whatever-it-takes' spirit we will show this community, our state and our nation, what it means to be West Texans."The shooter had been fired from his trucking job hours before he began his killing rampage. "Saturday morning, our suspect went to work at Journey Oil Field service. He was there for a short time and was terminated by his employer," said Police Chief Michael Gerke in an update Monday. "Right after that firing, he called 911, Odessa Police Department's 911, and so did his employer. And basically they were complaining on each other because they had a disagreement over the firing."Authorities say they believe he acted alone but have not yet determined a motive.His victims ranged from 15 to 57 years old, Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke said, and included Mary Granados, a 29-year-old mail carrier who was on the phone with her twin sister as she neared the end of her shift.A 17-month-old girl and three law enforcement officers were among the injured.He was pulled over for not using his signalThe shooter was pulled over by Texas troopers in Midland Saturday afternoon for failing to use his signal, police said. He began shooting at them with what police described as an AR-type weapon and sped away. He continued firing randomly at residents and motorists, police said.He then hijacked a postal truck and made his way into Odessa, about 20 miles away. That's where police confronted him in a parking lot and killed him.The gunman was slammed by a police vehicle and set spinning into a group of cars, where he was soon encircled by authorities, according to bystander video and Midland County District Attorney Laura Nodolf."Law enforcement at that point had collectively taken efforts to surround him, and he was not going to go anywhere, and he was not going to hurt anybody else," Nodolf said. "That is the definition of heroism, when you have people you know are walking into fire and could be hit, and they were."Investigators are now combing through 15 different crime scenes and multiple cars, FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs said.Combs said his agency responds to Texas frequently, adding the FBI is "here now almost every other week supporting our local and state partners on active shooters."Combs said at this point the agency does not believe there's "any connection to any domestic or international terrorism."The victimsGranados' sister, Rosie, said she heard her sister's scream while they were on the phone together."It was very painful," she said. "I just wanted to help her and I couldn't. I thought she had gotten bit by a dog or something. I tried calling her name and she wouldn't answer."The Ector County school district in Odessa said one of its students was among those killed.The 17-month-old who was injured was airlifted to University medical Center in Lubbock, where she remained in satisfactory condition, hospital officials said.The girl's family said Sunday she is expected to make a full recovery."We hurt so badly for the families whose loved ones didn't survive this tragedy," her parents, Kelby and Garret Davis, said in a joint statement.One wounded law enforcement officer is a trooper from the Department of Public Safety and the other two are from the Midland and Odessa police departments. The trooper is in serious condition and the officers are in stable condition.Number of active shooting incidents increasingMore than 40 people have died in the four shootings across Texas, Ohio and California since July. It's part of a trend the FBI says is getting worse each year."If you look at the numbers, we're looking at an active shooter every other week in this country," Combs said.The agency has conducted a study on all active shooters -- who they define as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area" -- between 2000 and 2018 and found the numbers keep increasing."I think it is frustrating for all of us in law enforcement that we keep having to do this," he said, referring to ongoing investigations. "For the FBI in particular, we do them across the country as a service to our state and local partners. It's just getting worse."This latest shooting took place hours after a series of firearms laws that loosen gun restrictions went into effect in Texas. Included in that list are laws which will allow weapons on school grounds, apartments and places of worship.Sunday afternoon, Gov. Greg Abbott commented on the frequency of high-profile shootings in his state since he took office."I have been to too many of these events," Abbott said."I am heartbroken by the crying of the people in the state of Texas. I am tired of the dying of the people of Texas. Too many Texans are in mourning. Too many Texans have lost their lives. The status quo in Texas is unacceptable, and action is needed," he said. 5526
