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

SHARON, Penn. – Tariffs raise prices on items companies import to sell or make products with, which affects small businesses across the U.S. Two thirds of Americans say owning a small business is part of their American dream. Seven years ago, Carla Infante made that dream a reality in the small town of Sharon, Pennsylvania. “It was frightening. After I got everything all set up for the grand opening, I thought ‘what if nobody comes?’”Despite that fear, that was never Infante’s problem. Knitting and crocheting enthusiasts have been streaming in since Never Enough Yarn opened, either for her variety or her knitting nights. “I have people who come regularly every Thursday night for our knitting group. Sometimes we knit and drink coffee. And sometimes we get a bottle of wine out instead of coffee,” said Infante. “It's been amazing.” As amazing as it has been to have loyal customers and consistent demand, Never Enough Yarn is closing. “The Internet has really done a lot of injury to local small businesses,” said Infante. “So that had been creeping up on me. But when they put the tariffs in, that really pushed me over the edge.”There have been a half dozen rounds of tariffs imposed on Chinese goods over the past year and a half. The latest have really affected businesses like Infante’s. The prices of all Infante’s yarn and knitting supplies has had to go up. For example – just one knitting needle in her shop has gone up by in less than a year. “First it was we'll wait and see, let's see what happens because I thought when the first 50 cents came on each package of needles like we can live with that,” said Infante. “I didn't realize it was going to keep coming. When that dollar came it was like I can't survive. I just can't pass this on.”So, before a new round of tariffs hit, she’s ending this chapter of her American dream."I made it seven years and I would have liked to stay a little longer,” said Infante. “But I also know when it's time to go you know the old saying ‘know when to fold them.’”"A lot of shops are closing, it’s not just Carla’s,” said a customer of Infante’s. “We had one in Grove City and she went out of business. It’s heartbreaking.”Analysts expect continued higher tariffs on Chinese goods could lead to 12,000 more retail businesses closing within the next year."One thing I'd like to say to most people is, if you don't believe it's happening, take a closer look because it is and if it hasn't affected you yet, keep your eyes open because it's going to it's going to affect everyone at some point. You’ve learned that the hard way. I learned it the hard way.” 2626

Rape between people who are not married has always been illegal. However, until 1975, every state in the country had a marital exception. A husband could legally rape his wife. It has only been since 1993 that all 50 states have had laws making marital rape a crime, but in many states, there are loopholes.Now, one lawmaker in Michigan is working to close the state's marital rape loophole.It started with a message on Twitter. A constituent wrote State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky asking if she knew there is a loophole for marital rape in certain circumstances.If you look at the law, the first thing you see is that you can be charged with criminal sexual conduct in Michigan – even if the victim is your legal spouse.However, there is a glaring exception.You can not be charged with criminal sexual conduct if you had sex with your spouse while they were mentally incapacitated. 888
