Bernie Sanders cut short after 'Black Lives Matter' takes over rally
Sanders was just starting to address several thousand people gathered shoulder to shoulder at Westlake Park when two women took over the microphone.
"It's about the people, it's about grassroots movements," Mara Jacqueline Willaford, Black Lives Matter member said after taking the microphone. "The biggest movement right now in the country is the Black Lives Matter movement."
Organizers couldn't persuade the two to wait and agreed to give them a few minutes, prompting boos from some in the crowd.

Cummings Still Weighing Senate Run
He says his life is about lifting up the spirits of the people of Maryland, and that’s why Maryland 7th District Congressman Elijah Cummings says he is thinking about his political future including running for the Senate seat now held by Barbara Mikulski.
Mikulski announced in March she would not run for a sixth term.
"It is not about me. It is bigger than me, and as you may know, I am a God-fearing man, and I have asked God for discernment and to show me the way, and I'm sure he will," Cummings told WBAL NewsRadio 1090 on Friday.

"The Only Way The Rich Get Richer Is If The Rest Of Us Get Poorer"
Far too many people have already used lines like “We Are All Greeks Now” for the words to hold on to much if any meaning by now. But it’s still a very accurate description of what awaits us all. Just not for the same reasons most who used it, did.
No, I don’t really want to talk about Greece again. I want to talk about where you live. And about how similar the two will be not too long from now. How Greece is holding up a lesson and a big red flashing warning sign for all of us.
Greece is the mold upon which all of our futures will be based. Quite literally. Greece is a test tube baby rat.

State Police Helicopter Crew Hoists Patient From Cruise Ship In Bay
Shortly before 9:30 p.m. yesterday, the United States Coast Guard – Sector Baltimore was notified by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line that they had a passenger requiring immediate medical evacuation. Sector Baltimore requested the assistance of the Maryland State Police Aviation Command to perform an aerial hoist from The Grandeur of the Sea to provide medical care to one of their passengers and transport the man to the nearest hospital. The Grandeur of the Sea was located in the Chesapeake Bay approximately 10 miles southwest of Tangier Island and was traveling at approximately 6.2 knots. The Coast Guard requested Maryland State Police Aviation Command helicopter assistance because Trooper 7, stationed at St. Mary’s County Airport, was the closest aircraft to the ship.
The crew of Trooper 7 launched immediately and headed toward Tangier Island. When they arrived over the ship, the helicopter crew communicated with the crew of The Grandeur of the Sea who advised they were preparing the upper deck starboard side to use as the hoisting area. The crew from Trooper 7 prepared for a challenging hoist using the advanced technology aboard the AW-139 aircraft. While working with the crew of The Grandeur of the Sea, the flight crew began the process of hoisting the patient from the ship. When the patient was secured in the aircraft, the State Police flight crew provided advanced medical care and flew an adult male patient needing cardiac care to Peninsula Regional Medical Center.
State Police Aviation Command crews have conducted several hoists of patients off cargo ships, but they believe this is the first hoist of a patient from a cruise ship. The Maryland State Police Aviation Command has served Maryland citizens since 1970, and operates a fleet of ten helicopters from seven bases throughout Maryland on a 24/7/365 basis. Missions include medevac, law enforcement, search & rescue, homeland security, and disaster assessment. The success of rescues performed by the Aviation Command depends a great deal on the cooperative effort of local fire, rescue, EMS, law enforcement agencies, and our partners in the United States Coast Guard.
Four Ways To Get Your Hospital Bill Reduced
Nearly one in three Americans received a surprise medical bill over the past two years for hospital procedures and healthcare services they believed their insurance policy would cover.
That’s the key finding of a new national survey by Consumer Reports that also found most Americans are so confused about their rights to contest an unexpected health bill that more than half (57 percent) simply pay the bill in full.
“For years we have heard horror stories from consumers hit with surprise medical bills following routine and emergency procedures,” said DeAnn Friedholm, director of the policy and advocacy arm of Consumer Reports.
“Even if you go to a hospital in your network, the unfortunate truth is that there is no guarantee that all your treatment — whether it’s the radiologist, anesthesiologist, or lab work — will be treated as in-network, leaving patients owing thousands of dollars they never anticipated.”
But experts note a handful of negotiating tricks can almost always get you a reduced bill. In fact, a secondConsumer Reports survey found that a whopping 93 percent of people who haggled over medical bills were successful in cutting their final costs.
Here are four tried-and-true negotiation strategies:

Hungary Wants 'Exemplary' Penalty For Migrants Cutting Fence
Hungary's governing Fidesz party says migrants caught cutting through the fence being built to stop them on the border with Serbia should be "punished in an exemplary manner," including prison sentences.
Fidesz parliamentary group leader Antal Rogan said Friday that "it is not enough that illegal immigrants are crossing the country's border unlawfully, on top of it all they are damaging property of the Hungarian state."

Baltimore police and prosecutors struggle with witness cooperation
After Scott refused to come to Baltimore Circuit Court in May, a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. Scott spent the night in jail, took the stand with his hands shackled and refused to answer many of the prosecutor's questions.
Scott never explained his reluctance to testify. But the case has come to symbolize the continuing challenge that Baltimore police and prosecutors face in getting witnesses — and even victims — to cooperate. Of the five defendants in the case, one man was convicted and the jury deadlocked on the other four.

Bloomberg: Fox News Couldn't Kill Trump's Momentum, Made Him Stronger
A few hours before Thursday’s Fox News debate, a friend of Donald Trump’s confided to me that Trump was nervous. Not about the competition — he could handle them. No, Trump worried about Fox News, and in particular, debate moderator Megyn Kelly. She’d been hammering him all week on her show, and he was certain she was out to get him.
He had canceled a Fox News appearance on Monday night, the friend said, in order to avoid her. (Trump’s spokeswoman wouldn’t confirm or deny this.)
It turns out Trump was right. His toughest opponents Thursday night weren’t the candidates up on stage, but the Fox News moderators, who went right after him — none with more gusto than Kelly.
Kelly went straight for the jugular. "You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals," she admonished Trump. "Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?"
But Trump saw her coming a mile away and cut her off. "Only Rosie O’Donnell," he barked, drawing cheers from the crowd.
When Kelly tried to point out that he had insulted more women than O’Donnell, Trump, as he would all night, steamrolled right past her. "The big problem this country has is being politically correct," Trump practically shouted, invoking conservatives’ favorite term of disdain. "I’ve been challenged by so many people and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness and to be honest with you this country doesn't have time either." The crowd went wild.

Worcester County picks $4.8M radio system
Preferring a turnkey rather than piecemeal structure and favoring ownership of the core system rather than an ongoing lease arrangement, the Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday voted to spend $4.8 million on a new radio system with the Harris Corporation of Lynchburg, Va. rather than rival Motorola.
Local vendor Delmarva Two Way Radio’s bid was incomplete, in the county’s estimation, by failing to provide a 15-year operational cost, and therefore unable to be considered.
The Harris bid started with a lump sum of $4.8 million for equipment and associated costs. It allows access to six antenna sites, have a dedicated technician working from the county offices in Snow Hill, replacement radios would be new and the county would own the core, or brain, of the system.

Debate Question: 'Any Word From God?'
(CNSNews) - Near the end of the debate Thursday night, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly asked conservative Republican Sen. Ted Cruz if he'd had "any word from God."
Of the hundreds of questions that could have been asked, Kelly chose "an interesting closing question" for the candidates, suggested by a Facebook user, who said, 'I want to know if any of them have received a word from God on what they should do and take care of first.'
"Senator Cruz, start from you. Any word from God?" Kelly asked.

FBI: Yes, Our Probe Into Hillary's Email Scheme is a Criminal Investigation
With the media understandably focused on the hottest story in politics this week, Hillary Clinton's email troubles have continued to spiral. Lie after provable lie has been exposed over recent weeks, with Team Clinton deflecting, distorting and lashing out with each development. Their latest hobby horse has been flogging the New York Times for 'erroneously' reporting that the Inspectors General-referred federal investigation into Mrs. Clinton's unsecure email scheme is criminal in nature. The Times botched the story, the Clinton camp says, because (a) the probe isn't "criminal," and (b) it's not technically investigating her -- but rather her email arrangement. The latter point is a distinction without a meaningful difference. She ordered the secret server to be set up. She ordered it to be culled. Her inner circle destroyed evidence without supervision. And she's personally made demonstrably false claims about the entire imbroglio at every step. Earlier this week, the New York Post tossed cold water on the former point as well:

Scam Alert Involving Pets
-
Today one of the owners of a pet received a call from the phone number 213-221-1099. The caller, a female with a foreign accent,
identified herself as Lost Pet PR and stated they had found his dog. This CLEARLY SCREAMS SCAM but in some circumstances and for someone holding out hope, such a tactic could lure in an unsuspecting victim.
Salisbury Fire Station 2, $4 Million Has Already Turned Into $6 Million
Tournament hauls in some 10K meals for locals in need
With a total prize purse in upwards of $3.8 million, the 2015 White Marlin Open is expected to draw thousands of participants and spectators to Ocean City during an already busy – and profitable – time of the year.
For the last six years, however, this rich event has also grown to serve a secondary purpose for struggling families on the Eastern Shore, providing 2,000 to 3,000 pounds of high protein food through the Maryland Food Bank.
“This event is really the only time we get protein fish donated,” Food Sourcing Manager Butch Langenfelder said. “The great thing about it is that product stays right here on the Eastern Shore.”
Langenfelder estimated 300 pounds of fillets were donated to the Food Bank on Monday, day one of the tournament, and distributed to Diakonia in West Ocean City. Other local groups should also receive donations this week.
