Footage from last year shows US synchronised swimmer Anita Alvarez collapsing in an Olympic qualifier in Barcelona - with coach and four-time Olympic medalist Andrea Fuentes rescuing her on that occasion too

 

It was technically illegal in the 70's but most of us back then could buy bundles-o-sticks off the street for a few bucks. They didn't care and back then the military didn't care either during an R&R visit.

Jul 10, 2022 06.29.2022 | 12:29 AM | MORENO VALLEY – Deputies from the Moreno Valley Sheriff’s Station responded to a reported burglary in progress at a residence in the 24300 block of Eucalyptus Avenue. As deputies were responding, the victim, identified as Joe Howard Teague, a 93-year-old resident of Moreno Valley, told dispatch he had several subjects at gunpoint. When deputies arrived, they located a male suspect, identified as Joseph A. Ortega, a 33-year-old resident of Moreno Valley, suffering from a gunshot wound. Medical aid was immediately rendered and Ortega was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition. As the investigation progressed, a witness was located within close to the scene, who saw several people flee on foot just prior to the arrival of deputies. Based on the severity of Ortega’s medical condition, the Central Homicide Unit responded to the scene and assumed the investigation. Investigators have established that several individuals, including Ortega, were inside Teague’s property when a shooting occurred. Teague was unharmed during the incident. He was questioned at the Moreno Valley Station and later returned home.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s Defense Ministry announced Saturday that it was pulling back troops from two areas in Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region where a Ukrainian counteroffensive has made significant advances in the past week.

The news came after days of apparent advances by Ukraine south of Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, in what could become the biggest battlefield success for Ukrainian forces since they thwarted a Russian attempt to seize the capital, Kyiv, at the start of the nearly seven-month war.

“The Russian army in these days is demonstrating the best that it can do — showing its back,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video released by his office Saturday night. “And, of course, it’s a good decision for them to run.”

"As of this morning he has began to awaken and it appears this his neurological condition and function is intact.

"He continues to be critically ill and continues to undergo intensive care. He still has some progress he needs to make but this marks a really good turning point in his care."

The doctor added: "It’s not only that the lights are on. We know he’s home.”

Hamlin is able to move his hands and feet and the next step is to get him breathing on his own, doctors said.

If Hamlin is able to go back to a "normal" life (although not back to the NFL) it will be nothing short of a miracle.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe spoke with the Hamlin family on Friday morning about the latest developments in Hamlin's status.
"They are absolutely elated this morning, emotional that he's had that breathing tube out, that he's had conversations with what they've described as his brothers," Wolfe said on NFL Network. "They said, 'Look, we cannot describe the emotion as anything other than elated.' "
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said it would be hard to "do it justice honestly with words" when asked to describe the scene when Hamlin spoke to the team on Friday.
