Steve the changes sparked a renewed debate over whether cracking down is for the best or can prevent larger crimes in the first place, which is what its supposed to do. Reporter its been a dirty secret in the criminal Justice System for a long time. Thousands of people going to jail for minor offenses like drinking in public or spitting. Under a new policy, Manhattan Police can decide on the spot if you get handcuffed, a summons or a warning. Me, unfortunately, i was put through the system and i did not belong there. Something that was very minor. The penalties are very harsh, especially on the minorities. Reporter eric says the arrest cost him his job. He believes Police Officers should have options when dealing with offenses like urinating in public or riding a bike on a sidewalk. Thats the plan devised by Manhattan District Attorney commissioner bratton. What were attempting to do is give them more discretion. Give a warning that will be developing. Give a summons or make an arrest if thats whats necessary. The change comes as the Police Department says overall crime is at record low levels. Yet tensions between police and communities of color remain a concern. Bratton says they are drawing one hard line. You smoke marijuana in the street, youll be arrested. Look at our arrest numbers. Theyre up for that. A lot of people didnt get the message that you cant smoke marijuana on the streets of new york city. Reporter critics of lessening the penalties for quality of life crimes fear it will open the door to the bad old days and create a climate of disorder and danger on the streets. But it doesnt need to get to that point. It should be constantly looked at to insure that were not going back to the early years of the 1990s where we had the city of new york. Reporter this policy could spread citywide and bratton says if it does, the nypd will make sure everyone knows the law so theres no confusion.

On wednesday, fox sports learned he filed for retirement because White Sox Team president requested his son spend less time with the team. Its not because the young man was a distraction. Reporter his stand has inspired a debate over equality and tradition in fatherhood in the workplace. I think its incredible because when youre raising children, your priority ought to why isnt he in school . Pretty impressive. Theres a lot of money to be giving away. I dont know if i would have the ability to do that. Were talking about someone pitching a fit because their kid cant be there 100 percent of the time.

Adam grew up romping around the angels facility after his father dave, a pitcher. No other players kid spent every day on the field as the 14yearold did. No other received a locker in the teams clubhouse. Because hes comfortable having his kid around, maybe others arent and they might be afraid to voice their opinion. In order to maintain consistency, in order to have an answer for the next person that comes along that wants to have percent of the time.

Dari in fox 5 health news, as we told you earlier, state Health Officials are warning the zika virus could spread in new york by the summer. In fact, they say temperatures could be warm enough to allow the mosquito that carries it to migrate this far north. Ox hill hospital. This is troubling. We know its getting closer and closer to us. Absolutely. Theres three things that this the mosquito needs to be able to transmit the virus. One is steady, warm weather. The second is a supply of stagnant water. The third is us, humans, to be able to transmit it. The National Atmospheric center forecasted what they believe temperatures to be. The southeastern states, which have consistently high temperatures, as well as they have a lot of rain in the summer, they have the highest risk. New york falls into a moderate risk category but its troubling. Dari wow. So well, theyre saying its coming here. Obviously the faster it gets warmer, the more at least in new york state, in the fall and in the spring, theres not a very high risk of having consistently warm temperatures needed to allow the over the summer, theres a good chance, but its not as high as in places like florida, texas, georgia, alabama.

Animal models and through human studies by small particles from exhaust of gasoline, which are 2. 5 micro meters, which is 25 thousandth of an inch. When you breathe these in, they go into the terminal branches of the lungs, and they get into the bloodstream. We think these can cause an inflammatory reaction and put your body in a pro inflammatory state. It can lead to diabetes like obesity and potentially cancer. Steve everything we hear about, inflammation is the root of health issues. Dari there are some precautions you can do. There are things you can do. This is an involuntary risk factor. We all breathe the air. You can do things, especially if youre close to a highway. You can have a hepa filter in your house that filters out the particles. You can limit your exposure to running during the peak hours when theres traffic backed up steve even places like southern california, the air quality has gotten so much better than it was in general compared to the 80s.
