    ATLANTA (WUPA) — Atlanta hosts its final FIFA World Cup match today as England and Argentina face off in a highly anticipated semifinal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

While thousands of fans are expected to pack the stadium in downtown Atlanta once again, local leaders say the tournament’s impact is already being felt far beyond the pitch.

Before the World Cup began, the Metro Atlanta Chamber projected the tournament could generate more than $503 million in economic activity across Georgia. An Emory University study also estimated Decatur’s month-long WatchFest could contribute up to $142 million to the local economy.

Officials across metro Atlanta are still compiling final attendance and economic data, but early signs point to a busy tournament.

Visitors from around the world have spent weeks exploring Atlanta attractions, dining at local restaurants and attending the FIFA Fan Festival.

“It’s better than I anticipated,” said one visitor from Lagos, Nigeria. “Everyone is super nice, very friendly. The energy is … I feel like I could bottle it. I don’t want it to end.”

The tournament has also created lasting memories for local families.

Former professional baseball player Paul Byrd attended the World Cup with his son, Colby, whose passion for soccer inspired the outing.

“First of all, I’m a baseball player,” Byrd said. “Put my son in left field, he’s talking to the rabbits. He said baseball’s boring. He loves soccer. That’s why we’re here. The World Cup in Atlanta, we’re showing out. It feels like a World Series for me.”

While today’s semifinal marks Atlanta’s final match of the tournament, local leaders say the World Cup’s full impact will take time to measure as communities continue calculating attendance, tourism, and business activity generated over the past several weeks.

England and Argentina kick off Wednesday afternoon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with the winner advancing to the FIFA World Cup.

Warsh Returns, PPI Arrives, and Earnings Season Broadens

By Jacqueline Policastro | Quincy News Correspondent

Click here for updates on this story

    Washington (Quincy News) — Market Recap: Stocks finished mostly higher Tuesday as investors welcomed cooler inflation and strong bank earnings. The S&P 500 gained 0.38% and the Nasdaq rose 0.90%, while the Dow finished nearly flat as a sharp decline in IBM offset gains in financials. Treasury yields and the dollar moved lower; oil rose amid renewed U.S.-Iran fighting and new concerns about the Strait of Hormuz supply.

June CPI fell 0.4%, the largest one-month decline since April 2020, pulling the annual rate down from 4.2% to 3.5%. Core prices were unchanged for the month and up 2.6% year-over-year, with a 5.7% drop in energy driving most of the improvement. The relief was real but partial: a trip to the grocery store or gas station still costs meaningfully more than it did a year ago, and renewed fighting near the Strait of Hormuz could push prices back up before the end of summer.

Today’s Focus: June PPI lands at 8:30 a.m. ET alongside the Empire State Manufacturing Survey. PPI measures what producers charge for goods before they reach store shelves, a stronger reading would signal that businesses may be absorbing higher costs that could eventually get passed along to consumers, while a softer one would reinforce Tuesday’s CPI report.

At 10:00 a.m. ET, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh returns to Capitol Hill for the Senate Banking Committee’s semiannual hearing. During Tuesday’s House testimony, Warsh said policymakers have “no tolerance” for persistently elevated inflation but gave no direct signal on the July 28-29 meeting. At 2:00 p.m. ET, the Fed releases its Beige Book. Earnings from ASML, BNY, BlackRock, Johnson & Johnson, Morgan Stanley, and United Airlines round out the day.

ON THE SCHEDULE FOR WEDNESDAY JULY 15, 2026

-8:30 a.m. ET – June Producer Price Index; Empire State Manufacturing Survey

-Before open – ASML, BNY, BlackRock, Johnson & Johnson, Morgan Stanley earnings

-After close – United Airlines earnings

-10:00 a.m. ET – Fed Chair Kevin Warsh testifies before the Senate Banking Committee

-10:30 a.m. ET – EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report

-2:00 p.m. ET – Federal Reserve Beige Book

-Thursday, 8:30 a.m. ET – Initial and continuing jobless claims; June retail sales

-Thursday, 10:00 a.m. ET – May business inventories

-Friday, 8:30 a.m. ET – June import and export prices

Lumberjack World Championships draw competitors from more than a dozen states to northern Wisconsin

By Derek James

Click here for updates on this story

    Wisconsin (WCCO) — For 66 years, the Lumberjack World Championships have brought the world’s best to Hayward, Wisconsin.

The skills that helped shape this region have become a test of strength, speed, and balance.

More than 100 competitors from around the world are here this week, chasing world titles in chopping, sawing, speed climbing, log rolling and the boom run.

Organizers say it’s a connection of the past and present.

“We have everything here. We’ve got the full complement of events, secondly is the history. This actually was an old holding pond for the sawmill back in the 1800s,” said Samantha LaSalle, event director for the Lumberjack World Championships.

For her husband, Adam LaSalle, who grew up in central New York, that history connects him to his family’s logging business.

“The athletics side of it, with the natural resources side of it. I grew up in a rural area with a family logging business and grew up cutting trees. That’s something that I thoroughly enjoy,” said LaSalle, who has been a professional lumberjack for over 20 years.

Others grew up just down the road.

Deven Blair from the town of Winter, Wisconsin, still chases speed climbing records.

While Connor Birdsong has spent years mastering the delicate balance of log rolling and the controlled chaos of the boom run.

“Your head, your feet, your core, everything needs to be involved to really be successful at it,” said Birdsong, a professional log roller and boom runner.

For six-time Boom Run World Champion Meredith Ingbretson, who was born and raised in Hayward, it’s simply home.

“It’s just a part of my heart and so being able to share what our community in town can offer people from across the world, it’s just really special,” said Ingbretson.

That sense of community is felt by the competitors representing 16 states and nine countries.

“Everybody supports everybody. Win or lose, we’re all happy. We all love what we do,” said Deven Blair, a professional lumberjack.

For generations, these waters have been part of a Northwoods tradition. These athletes know how to navigate them.

The party starts with comedian Charlie Berens performing Wednesday night.

The festival and competition begin on Thursday with finals on Saturday.

Squeeze what?! A South Florida woman is the talk of her town with a racy license plate she got in the mail

By Joan Murray

Click here for updates on this story

    Florida (WFOR) — A South Florida woman was surprised to receive a new license plate with her vehicle registration renewal that she feels carries an inappropriate message.

Pompano Beach resident Nancy Dello Stritto, who is almost 77 years old, opened her mail to find a license plate reading “SQZ A55.” She told CBS Miami that the plate, which can be interpreted to spell out a crude phrase, caused her to go “ballistic.”

“I don’t think a senior who is almost 77 will be driving around with a plate that has that to say,” Dello Stritto said. “When I saw that, I went ballistic. I said, ‘How could that pass inspection?'”

The plate has become a topic of conversation at her retirement community, where opinions are split. While Dello Stritto is unhappy with the configuration, she noted that others, including her sons and their friends, have encouraged her to keep it. She said the current tally is 16-1 in favor of her keeping the plate.

It remains unclear how the plate was issued. Florida license plates have been manufactured at a state prison in North Florida for nearly a century before being distributed through county agencies. Dello Stritto’s plate was mailed from the Broward County Property Tax Collector’s office.

CBS Miami contacted the office regarding the issue. An office manager confirmed that Broward County will replace a plate deemed offensive for free at their Plantation office.

For now, Dello Stritto plans to keep the plate, though she intends to notify the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles about it.

“I’m resigned to it; maybe it was destined for it to be on my car,” she said, adding with a laugh, “I can handle it; maybe I’ll even get some honks.”

Back-to-School Health Starts Before the First Bell: Why Vaccines, Wellness Visits, and Preventive Care Matter

By Francis Page Jr.

Click here for updates on this story

    July 14, 2026 (Houston Style Magazine) — Fresh notebooks, new shoes and a carefully negotiated bedtime may signal that school is near, but the smartest back-to-school purchase cannot be placed in a shopping cart: good health. Before Houston-area students race toward classrooms, band halls, football fields and college dormitories, families should make preventive care part of the preparation.

That means reviewing immunization records, scheduling a well-child visit, managing asthma and allergies, addressing emotional or developmental concerns, and completing sports or marching-band physical forms. Legacy Community Health’s message is refreshingly practical: school readiness begins with the whole child, not simply the school-supply list. Its “Health Beyond Care” approach connects pediatric care, family medicine, behavioral health, pharmacy and specialty services so families can address multiple needs before the first bell rings.

History has already shown what prevention can accomplish. Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000 after widespread use of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Yet elimination did not mean extinction. As of July 9, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 2,231 confirmed measles cases across the country, with 93 percent linked to outbreaks. CDC also reported that MMR coverage among U.S. kindergarteners fell from 95.2 percent in 2019–2020 to 92.5 percent in 2024–2025. In public health, a few percentage points can become a very loud alarm bell.

“Vaccines don’t just protect one person at a time — they strengthen the health of everyone around us,” said Dr. Rubina Khan, Medical Director of Pediatrics at Legacy Community Health. She added that Legacy is committed to making preventive care accessible and affordable “so no one falls through the cracks.”

That community protection matters in classrooms, where children learn, eat, play and share nearly everything except personal space. Texas school requirements vary by grade, but the state currently lists vaccines including DTaP or Tdap, polio, MMR, hepatitis B, varicella, meningococcal and hepatitis A among K–12 requirements. Because requirements can change, the Texas Department of State Health Services advises parents to confirm that students have the proper immunizations for the coming school year.

A wellness visit does far more than check a box. It gives families time to discuss sleep, nutrition, growth, school performance, mental health, medications and chronic conditions. Catching a concern early is usually easier—and far less dramatic—than meeting it later in an emergency room. Parents can also ask a clinician which vaccines are recommended for their child’s age, health history and activities.

Student-athletes and marching-band participants should not wait until the first practice to discover that paperwork is missing. The University Interscholastic League has approved its Athletic and Marching Band Pre-participation Physical Evaluation for the 2026–2027 school year. A physical can help identify issues that may affect safe participation while giving young people a healthier start to the season.

Teenagers and college-bound students deserve equal attention. Families should review Tdap, HPV and meningococcal protection with a trusted healthcare provider, particularly before dormitory living, travel or other close-contact settings. Texas requires many entering college students to show proof of a recent meningococcal vaccination, generally administered within the previous five years and at least 10 days before the semester begins.

Dr. Tamisha Jones, Chief Medical Officer at Legacy Community Health, cautions against assuming yesterday’s public-health victories guarantee tomorrow’s protection. “Despite the fact that vaccines have reduced and eliminated deadly diseases, outbreaks still occur,” she said, emphasizing the continued importance of vaccination and informed conversations with healthcare professionals.

For working parents, access can be the hardest part of prevention. Legacy’s School-Based Health Care Clinics bring wellness visits, vaccinations, sports physicals, acute care, chronic-disease management and behavioral-health services closer to students. The organization reports 39 school-based clinics across Greater Houston, helping reduce transportation barriers, missed work and lost classroom time.

The takeaway is simple: sharpen the pencils, label the backpacks—and schedule the appointment. A healthier student is better positioned to attend, participate, concentrate and thrive. Back-to-school health is not extra credit. It is the foundation for a successful year.

Attorney Jacob Monty Is Shocked by Salgado’s Shooting

By Burt Levine

Click here for updates on this story

    July 14, 2026 (Houston Style Magazine) — For more than three decades, Houston attorney Jacob “Jake” Monty has built a career where immigration law, employment law and the American promise meet—sometimes neatly and sometimes with all the grace of rush-hour traffic on the Gulf Freeway. Yet the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on July 7, 2026, has left even this seasoned lawyer searching for words.

“This is tragic for Houston, for Texas and for America,” Monty said.

Salgado Araujo, 52, had lived in the United States for approximately 35 years, raised three sons and worked as a homebuilder. On the morning he was killed near Canal Street and Wayside Drive in Houston’s Magnolia Park neighborhood, he was reportedly picking up members of his construction crew. His family says he had no criminal record and was attempting to obtain lawful immigration status. Federal authorities later acknowledged that he was not the person officers originally intended to apprehend.

“He was in Houston for more than 35 years, working on his legal status and following the rules to fix it,” Monty said. “He was a husband and father to three sons who lived all their lives in Houston.”

What happened during the critical moments before the shooting remains disputed.

The Department of Homeland Security maintains that Salgado Araujo rammed a government vehicle and threatened an officer with his van. Attorneys representing men who were riding with Salgado Araujo have offered a sharply different account, alleging that the gunfire was unprovoked. No body-camera footage exists, and federal authorities had not publicly identified the agents involved as of July 14.

Those unanswered questions have transformed a family tragedy into a much larger test of transparency, constitutional accountability and public trust.

Monty’s concern is not that immigration laws should disappear. His argument is that enforcement within a democracy must remain recognizable as legitimate law enforcement: clearly identified officers, professional tactics, proportional force, reliable evidence and meaningful independent review.

A badge—whether federal, state or local—is not a substitute for accountability. It is a responsibility to it.

Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Houston Police Chief Noe Diaz have called for a timely, transparent and thorough investigation. Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare has also launched an independent inquiry while criticizing the federal government’s lack of cooperation. The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General is conducting its own review.

These investigations matter because democracy is not measured only by elections, campaign speeches or patriotic slogans. Democracy is also measured by what government does when its own power is questioned.

Monty additionally challenges the political shorthand that portrays undocumented immigrants as one enormous criminal class. As of April 4, 2026, approximately 70.8 percent of people held in ICE detention had no criminal conviction, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

“These are neighbors taking their families to church, putting their children through school and contributing to our city as workers and taxpayers,” Monty said.

The economic picture is equally inconvenient for anyone shopping for an easy villain.

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy estimates that undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state and local taxes during 2022. That included $37.3 billion paid to state and local governments and approximately $15 billion in sales and excise taxes.

In other words, people without permanent legal status still help finance roads, schools, emergency services and the communities in which they live.

Monty’s own journey is stitched into Houston’s working-class and immigrant history. One of seven children raised in El Paso, he earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Texas at Arlington. A $500 scholarship brought him to the University of Houston Law Center, where he graduated in 1993. He later founded Monty & Ramirez LLP and received presidential and gubernatorial appointments, including service on the University of Houston System Board of Regents and federal border-development institutions.

That biography helps explain his continued belief that immigration reform remains possible.

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 created legalization opportunities for certain undocumented residents and agricultural workers. Nearly 40 years later, congressional stalemate has left families, employers, courts and enforcement agencies navigating a system almost everyone admits is outdated.

Salgado Araujo’s death must not become another headline that disappears after the flowers wilt. It should become a civic turning point—an insistence on facts, body cameras, identifiable officers, independent investigations, due process and comprehensive immigration reform.

Houston has always been a city that builds—homes, businesses, families and second chances.

Honoring Lorenzo Salgado Araujo now means building something harder but more enduring: a system of justice strong enough to enforce the law and humble enough to answer for how that power is used.

For Houston Style Magazine, that is not a partisan demand.

It is an American one.

World Youth Foundation Plants Seeds of Success During Inspiring Weekend of Youth Achievement and Gratitude

By Francis Page Jr.

    July 14, 2026 (Houston Style Magazine) — Houston’s future leaders are not waiting for someone to hand them the keys to tomorrow—they are already building the door, programming the lock and preparing the business pitch.

The World Youth Foundation, Inc. will spotlight that youthful determination during a powerful two-day celebration of education, entrepreneurship, community service and achievement on Saturday, August 1, and Sunday, August 2, 2026.

The weekend begins Saturday with the World Youth Foundation Back-to-School Jam from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sunnyside Health and Multi-Service Center, 4410 Reed Road, Houston, Texas 77051. Students and families will be welcomed into a lively community environment featuring educational resources, school-readiness information, food, music, games, entertainment, giveaways and prizes.

It is part school-supply celebration, part community resource fair and completely focused on helping young Houstonians enter the 2026–2027 school year prepared, encouraged and confident.

Families will have opportunities to connect with community organizations and programs addressing education, health, workforce development and family support. For parents balancing growing school-supply lists with growing household expenses, the event represents more than a festive Saturday outing. It is a reminder that Houston’s community institutions are willing to stand beside families and help students cross the starting line ready to learn.

The celebration moves downtown on Sunday, August 2, for the Jewel McGowan Seeds of Gratitude Awards Celebration and World Youth Foundation Annual Fundraiser at the Cullen Theater inside the Wortham Theater Center, 501 Texas Avenue. The VIP reception begins at 2 p.m., followed by the main program at 3 p.m. The Wortham Theater Center has served as one of Houston’s premier cultural landmarks since opening in 1987, making it a fitting stage for honoring the city’s next generation of innovators. photo

This year’s theme, “GRIT • GROWTH • GREATNESS,” captures the journey of young people who have turned challenges into motivation and ideas into action.

Guests will see presentations, exhibits and demonstrations from students participating in the Youth Innovative Incubator Program, STEM Innovation Incubator Pathways, workforce-readiness programs and leadership-development initiatives. WYF’s programming combines emerging technology, STEAM education, literacy, entrepreneurship, civic engagement and career preparation to help young people develop practical skills beyond the traditional classroom.

One of the afternoon’s most anticipated attractions will be the Youth Market. Young entrepreneurs will display and sell original products, explain their marketing strategies and deliver business pitches to guests. In other words, do not be surprised if Sunday’s student vendor becomes Monday’s chief executive.

The Jewel McGowan Seeds of Gratitude Awards will also recognize six distinguished community leaders for excellence in education, workforce development and training, entrepreneurship, leadership, mentoring, creativity and innovation.

“Our purpose is simple yet profound—we work to remove barriers to success so every young person has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential,” said Karen Levingston-Franklin, chairman and CEO of the World Youth Foundation.

Founded in April 1991, WYF has spent more than 35 years creating pathways for youth and families. The organization reports serving more than 85,000 people through educational enrichment, mentoring, leadership training, workforce preparation and entrepreneurship programs. Its current initiatives serve young people ages 4 to 24 while expanding opportunities in artificial intelligence, STEAM, literacy and civic engagement.

Sponsors and partners supporting the weekend include the City of Houston, Houston First Corporation, H-E-B, PPG Global LLC, TXPOST/OST CARES and numerous community organizations.

Houston Style Magazine is proud to serve as an Official Media Sponsor of the World Youth Foundation’s inspiring weekend of youth achievement, education, entrepreneurship, and community celebration.

Young people experiencing blindness, visual impairments embrace adventure at summer camp

By Krista Tatschl

Click here for updates on this story

    PARKVILLE, Missouri (KMBC) — Vision loss isn’t stopping these kids and teenagers from taking leaps of faith this summer.

Alphapointe hosts various events throughout the year to teach young people with visual impairments new skills. After a coding camp helped teens, many without sight, learn how to build websites, campers are taking on new challenges this week.

The feat they faced on Monday? A 40-foot climb.

“I finally was able to make it to the top of the rock wall, because the year before, I was so close, but I looked down,” and fear took over, said Aaliyah Green, an Alphapointe camper. “Last year, I powered through … I’m really short, so I had to, like, climb all the way up there to ring the bell, and I did it, and I was really happy.”

All of the thrill-seekers, many returning for another year of Alphapointe’s Adventure Camp, have a spectrum of sight, from slight to none.

They all know how to navigate with expandable canes and courage, but the skills they learn at camp don’t necessarily come from everyday tasks.

With the help of trained experts, and the support of their peers, the campers take on new experiences, like ziplining, horseback riding and a ropes course.

“There has never been a time where I felt like they weren’t making progress. They’ve always made progress,” said Rich Yamamoto, a camp guide. “They leave this place, or any other camp, more confident than they did coming in.”

And when it comes to finding pure fun, anyone can see — Alphapointe’s Adventure Camp is the place.

Iowa State’s CyTown nears groundbreaking in September with McFarland Clinic already rising

By Marcus McIntosh

Click here for updates on this story

    AMES, Iowa (KCCI) — Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard announced Monday morning that a groundbreaking for CyTown is planned for September, marking a major step forward for the long-anticipated development near Jack Trice Stadium.

The project is designed to bring together retail, commercial, food and beverage, and residential space in what university leaders say will help complete the area surrounding Iowa State’s athletics district.

Chris Jorgensen, Iowa State’s senior associate athletic director, said the project has been years in the making since plans were first unveiled in 2022.

“It has taken a long time because it’s a complicated project that has taken a lot of steps along the way,” Jorgensen said.

Now, with a groundbreaking date set, Jorgensen said the momentum is energizing those who have worked to move the project forward.

“It’s very exciting for everybody that’s been working on the project,” he said. “I think it will be very exciting for all of our fans, students, alums and faculty that will get to enjoy CyTown.”

One major piece of the development is already taking shape. Construction is underway on a three-story, 78,000-square-foot McFarland Clinic building, which will serve as one of the anchor components of the broader CyTown project.

Jenni Talbott, chief operating officer for McFarland Clinic, said seeing the clinic rise after years of planning has been rewarding.

“We’d seen this on paper for many years,” Talbott said. “Now, to see it up and coming, we’re really excited.”

Talbott said the clinic remains on schedule to open in 2027, and she is looking ahead to the rest of CyTown opening the following year.

“We’re really excited and interested to see what other tenants are coming into town, who our neighbors will be,” she said.

Pickup truck flies off Interstate 43, man survives fall

By Mariana La Roche

Click here for updates on this story

    MILWAUKEE (WISN) — New video shows the moment a black pickup truck went flying over Interstate 43 North near the Hale Interchange over Layton Avenue in Greenfield.

The crash happened about 5:30 p.m. Friday, July 10.

Video obtained by WISN 12 News obtained from the Department of Transportation camera network shows the truck in the passing lane when a driver to the right tries to merge. That driver quickly retreats and goes back into the middle lane and in the same moment, the pickup loses control and crosses all lanes on the interstate. From there, the truck hits another guardrail, which sends it plummeting down into the marsh.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office says the driver survived.

The MCSO told 12 News the man did not need to be rescued from the wreckage and was able to free himself from his truck. Greenfield firefighters responded to the crash and the man was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries by a Greendale ambulance.

WISN 12 News talked to a man who saw the crash aftermath on Friday who described seeing the pick up truck being dragged out of the mud by a tow truck and being put on a flatbed. Video from News Chopper 12 shows the roof and front windshield of the car with damage.

“It was just covered with mud,” Chuck Zemen said.

“I was wondering if someone was hurt or something you know,” he said.
