Sen. Jeff Merkley announced Tuesday that he is not running for President, telling supporters in a video that he will remain in the Senate after mulling a presidential bid for months.In a video that in many ways mimicked a presidential announcement, Merkley laid out his life story, described issues that he believes need to be tackled and outlined what could have been a rationale for a 2020 run. But the Oregon Democrat says in the video that he believes Democrats need leadership in the Oval Office and the Senate and that he believes he could be most effective in the legislative body."Over the last year, I've weighed whether I can contribute more to the battle by running for president or by running for reelection to the Senate," Merkley said. "Today, I am announcing that I am not running for president."Merkley did not endorse a candidate currently in the race and added, "I believe that there are Democrats now in the presidential race who are speaking to the importance of tackling the big challenges we face. But what I'm also sure of is that right now the Senate is not prepared to be a full partner in this fight."Instead of running for president, Merkley will now spend the next two years running for reelection in Oregon, a race that all nonpartisan handicappers rate as a seat safely in Democratic hands.Merkley, a Democrat representing Oregon since 2009, was the only US senator to endorse Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election over his rival, Hillary Clinton. Despite that support, Merkley said if Sanders was losing to Clinton after the primary season, he should end his presidential campaign and concede to Clinton.Merkley, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been a major critical voice of the Trump administration in the Senate, particularly its handling of immigration issues. In June, the senator made headlines when he was denied entry to a Texas immigration center for unaccompanied minors when he showed up and asked for a tour. He accused the administration of being part of a "cruel" effort against unauthorized immigrant children.In January he asked the FBI to open a perjury investigation into Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. The call came a day after he released a draft memo that shows the Trump administration was drafting a policy as early as December 2017 to separate families apprehended at the US southern border. The administration has repeatedly denied there was a policy to separate families, and Merkley said Nielsen made the same claim when she testified before Congress.Late last year, Merkley told ABC that his family had given him a "thumbs-up" to run for President, and that he would make a decision within the first three months of 2019. 2729

Sports can change a community, and in Dayton, Ohio, a minor league baseball team is having a major impact. The Dayton Dragons hold the record for most consecutive sellouts by a professional sports team, breaking the previous record of 815 held by the Portland Trailblazers of the NBA. The Dragons came to Dayton 20 seasons ago, and super fan Michael Belcher has been at almost every game since day one. “Which was April 27, 2000, when we had our opening day,” Belcher says, while attending the 1,366th consecutive sellout game for the Dragons. “This is my vacation for lack of a better term,” Belcher says. “I come down here a watch the boys play.” It seems the boys in green appreciate the support. “It’s awesome,” says Dayton Dragons catcher Jay Schuyler. “Everyone says it’s the closest thing to playing in the big leagues before you get to the big leagues.” Schuyler says this passionate fan base in the crowd impacts the team’s play on the field.“You can feel it,” he says. “In big situations it always seems the pitcher can get an extra mile or hour or two, or you can run a little faster down the line.” Take a look down the line, over the right field wall and you’ll see the Dragons provide much more than entertainment. They’re creating economic development.“We had a study done and we have about a million annual impact on the city of Dayton,” says Eric Deutsch, executive vice president of the Dayton Dragons. Deutsch says the Dragons success came as somewhat a surprise, and it's a surprise that brings in half a million people a year to downtown Dayton every season. “It’s just been this crazy thing that no one could have dreamed up,” he says. “We’re happy to keep on keeping on with the numbers.” 1728

She's been working with the NFL for four years now, two years with the 49ers and two years with the Atlanta Falcons before that, 555

Science says humans are the driving force behind climate change. But we have to go back centuries to get an idea of how we got to where we are today.In the 1600s, people started using coal for fuel more often than wood. It was more widely available and produced more energy.The industrial revolution was a turning point. That’s when America started burning more fossil fuels for energy.By the early 1800s, people were using high-pressure boilers to fuel coal-powered engines. That included trains, steamboats, and ships.The first theory of human-caused climate change came about in 1838. A physicist proposed that water vapor and carbon dioxide could trap heat in the earth's atmosphere.Then, in 1876, a Russian scientist observed that - since the industrial revolution - Siberian glaciers started melting.Scientists say much of that water ended up in the ocean and raised sea levels.Sea levels are between five and eight inches higher today than they were in 1900.Some climate change critics argue temperatures are going down in some places.Scientists say that's somewhat true but that, overall, earth's temperatures are on the rise.Critics also argue humans aren't behind climate change.Scientists say there's a direct correlation between human carbon emissions and rising temperatures.Some scientists believe our "right now" culture will make the crisis worse. They say things like same-day delivery and frequent air travel could all put more carbon into the atmosphere. That the carbon traps heat that then warms the earth. 1539
