hi i m carl azuz with your daily
overview of current events
a cyber attack has shut down america's
largest fuel pipeline
and this has brought up concerns about
everything from how vulnerable america's
infrastructure is to how much this could
impact fuel prices
as far as those are concerned the
national average for one gallon of
gasoline was 2.97
on monday that's 60 percent higher than
it was at this time last year
when americans weren't driving as much
during covet related shutdowns
the colonial pipeline company transports
about 45 percent of
all the fuel consumed on the u.s east
coast it found out friday it had been
hit by a cyber security attack
colonial says the computer virus
involves something called
ransomware what this does is encrypt
or lock up important information until a
person or organization pays a ransom
to get it back again this is a growing
threat to computer systems
and the security company mcafee says
it's nearly impossible
to get files back without paying the
ransom unless the attacker backs off
so who is the attacker the u.s federal
bureau of investigation says it's a
criminal group that originated in russia
we don't know if colonial plans to pay
the ransom the federal government says
because it's a private company
it's up to colonial to decide we can
tell you that in the past year
ransomware victims have paid more than
350 million dollars to get their files
backthe us government's telling
infrastructure providers to do all they
can to protect themselves from cyber
attacks
colonial says it was able to shut down
its operations before the virus could
impact its physical equipment systems
the ones that actually
operate the oil pipelines it says its
smaller systems are now up and running
againbut its four main lines are still shut
down and it may take until the end of
the week until it's fully operational
the government says there's not a
shortage of gasoline at the moment
and an oil expert says a disruption of a
couple days isn't typically a big deal
however if colonial's pipes stay closed
through this weekor longer the problems this creates and
the price rises it causes
could be much greater according to the
education week news organization
two u.s states currently have orders in
effect that
some schools must remain closed out of
coronavirus concerns
14 states currently have orders that
schools must be open
offering in-person learning the
remaining states don't have an
order in effect meaning the decisions up
to individual school districts
to be open or not to be open that has
been an ongoing challenge for educators
students and parents since almost all
schools were closed last year after
kovid reached america
here's a tale of two districts on
opposite sides of the country
and what does the gcf stand for
since last september eleven-year-old
nevaeh bailey has spent
every school day here at charleston
progressive academy
it was very important for me to get her
back in school equally important was
that nevaeh's schedule has allowed her
mother
charlene to maintain hers i work as a
physician office specialist so i have to
work five days a week
parents in the charleston county school
district in south carolina have had the
option to send their children for five
day a week in person learning since the
school year began
as more parents became more comfortable
they came back
our teaching staff and other personnel
were of course apprehensive but they
were willing to come back
after they saw the conditions the safety
measures we had taken 32
plus 21. superintendent jarida
postelwaite says that today nearly 80
percent of the district's 50 000
students are back in school full time
nearly three thousand miles away things
look strikingly different
april 12 when we reopened our schools in
san francisco's public schools
a district roughly the same size as
charleston's
deputy superintendent gentle blythe says
full in-person instruction
is only offered for preschool and
special needs students
across the entire district k-12 students
recently started a hybrid plan well san
francisco certainly i think has gotten a
lot of attention for being a district
that
hasn't reopened as quickly as as many
parents would have liked
we're certainly not alone within our
state more than half of all california
public school students are still
learning virtually
and only 13 percent are in full
in-person instruction
why is there still this inability to
offer
in-person learning we wish we could have
done it sooner but we are moving in that
direction
and we have committed to a full
in-person return
in the fall a majority of school
districts across the country find
themselves in a position
somewhere between charleston and san
francisco
according to the department of education
more than half of k
through 8 public schools have fully
reopened for in-person learning
but many also intend to keep a hybrid
and online option for those families who
want iteven in charleston where district
officials say nearly 500 families have
appliedthere will be families who have
really concrete legitimate reasons
to remain virtual in terms of medical
fragility
and so we think it's important to offer
a virtual academy
option but principal wanda wright sheets
is optimistic that most students
will be back in classes academically the
program would work better if they were
here with ussocially for students being with their
peers
uh is better than being isolated
ten-second trivia what was the name of
the first horse to win the kentucky
derbyaristides sir barton spokane or
seabiscuit
with jockey oliver lewis on his back
aristides won the first kentucky derby
in 1875
[Music]
though seabiscuit is one of the most
famous american horses
he never ran in the kentucky derby the
preakness stakes or the belmont stakes
the three events that make up the triple
crown of horse racing
however seabiscuit did once beat a
triple crown winner named war
admiral in a head-to-head match race
every year after the kentucky derby
racing fans wonder what kind of chances
the winner has
of capturing the next two races for the
triple crown
13 horses have done this since 1919
but the animal that won on may 1st of
this year may not be allowed to compete
in the other races
here's why medina spirit's kentucky
derby win
is in doubt after a positive drug test
revealed traces of an anti-inflammatory
that can mask
health issues in horses before a race i
spoke with hall of fame trainer bob
baffert and he unequivocally denied
any wrongdoing and said that this drug
was not administered
to his kentucky derby winning horse he
was however emotional
after learning the news and speaking
with reporters earlier this morning
yesterday i got the biggest gut punch
in racing for something that i didn't do
and and this is really it's disturbing
it's an injustice to the horse we're now
waiting on the results of additional
tests that will ultimately determine
whether or not the horse is disqualified
as a kentucky derby winner and bob
effort also has the right to appeal
those results
as well a process that could take a very
long time
to adjudicate churchill downs has also
suspended bob baffert from training
or running any horses on their property
until the situation is resolved a result
that he told me was
incredibly disappointing as he has a lot
of respect for the kentucky derby as he
put it
and would never do anything to
jeopardize a result there
in the meantime organizers of the
preakness stakes are gathering their own
information as the second leg of the
triple crown
is right around the corner scheduled for
next saturday they will ultimately
determine whether or not medina's spirit
will be allowed to run there carolyn

for our last story today i'd like to
welcome our special guest
random this is a roller coaster it's
named orion it's part of the kings
island amusement park in ohio
but carl what's so random about that
welltest riding it are 32 plush dolls made
in the likeness of the late painter
bob ross and if one of those is
something you just gotta have
the park says you can win one by playing
one of its midway games in the season
ahead
it'll take skill not a happy little
accident to win a bob ross
but if there's nothing wrong with having
a tree as a friend a plush
shouldn't make your skin flush with
blush if you have more fun than most
people by experiencing the joy of
paintingroller coaster riding and generally
being bob rossum
i m carl azuz hoping all your trees are
happy ones
