HE IS GRATEFUL FOR HIS TRAINING TIME AND PERFORMANCE.

THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF HIS EDUCATION AND HARD WORK SO FAR BEFORE HE HEADS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.

>> I FEEL LIKE WHEN I PLAY, I'M VERY MUCH CONNECTED TO MY MUSICIAN COLLEAGUES WHO ARE SITTING AROUND ME.

WE FEEL THE MUSIC AND VERY MUCH.

WE ARE OVERCOME WITH JOY BY PLAYING SUCH INCREDIBLE PIECES TOGETHER.

THESE ARE PICTURE PERFECT MOMENTS THEY HAVE SHARED TAKEN IN CARNEGIE HALL AND STOPS ALONG THE WAY.

SHE HAS PLAYED CELLO SINCE KINDERGARTEN, SPEAKING WHICH HE CALLS THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE.

>> WHEN WE SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, WE ALWAYS HAVE TO LEARN IT BUT NO MATTER, EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ MUSIC, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE MUSIC, YOU CAN FEEL THE EMOTIONS AND THE SENTIMENT.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ONLINE TO THE SHELF.ORG AND BUY YOUR TICKETS AND SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL MUSICIANS LIVE >>> THANK YOU.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN FOR MORE HOT DAYS THIS WEEKEND BUT THERE MAY BE SOME REPRIEVE.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST LOOK AT WHETHER.

>>> ONE OF THE BIG STORIES CONTINUES TO BE THE HEAT.

WE DO HAVE HEAT ALERTS OUT INCLUDING A HEAT ADVISORY ACROSS PORTIONS INLAND AND AS WE MOVE FURTHER EAST, THAT IS WHEN WE TAKE IT UP A NOTCH WITH EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS IN EFFECT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE DESERT AND EVEN INTO THE MOUNTAINS.

IT IS NOT JUST THE HEAT, ALSO DEALING WITH MOISTURE WHEN THAT RAIN IS GOING TO OCCUR.

WILL HAVE THOSE DETAILS COMING UP.

>>> FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 1960s, ONE NORTH COUNTY HOSPITAL WILL SOON NOT BE CARRYING FOR NEWBORNS.

WE HAVE MORE ON WHAT LED TO TRI- CITY MEDICAL CENTER SUSPENDING US LABOR AND DELIVERY UNIT.

>> Reporter: LAST NIGHT, THE TRI-CITY MEDICAL CENTER BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTED TO SUSPEND THE LABOR AND DELIVERY UNIT INDEFINITELY.

THE MOVE WAS NOT UNEXPECTED.

IN A MEMO TO THE BOARD, THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM RECOMMENDED SUSPENDING THE UNIT BECAUSE OF CURRENT AND EXPECTED FINANCIAL LOSSES.

THE TRI-CITIES CHIEF STRATEGIST SAYS THIS IS A TEMPORARY DECISION WHILE THE HOSPITAL WORKS TO FINALIZE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH ANOTHER HEALTH SYSTEM.

>> THAT IS WHY WE CALL IT IS A SUBVENTION AND NOT A CLOSURE.

THE GOAL IS TO SUSPEND IN LIEU OF AN AFFILIATION THAT WILL BRING BACK PATIENTS IN THE FUTURE.

WE THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES.

TRANSFER THE SUSPENSION IS TAKING EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1.

IT INCLUDES LABOR AND DELIVERY, POSTPARTUM SERVICES AND THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.

THE HOSPITAL HAS BEEN CARING FOR NEW BARS SINCE IT OPENED IN 1961.

TRI-CITIES HAD SEVERAL FACTORS LED UP TO THE DECISION INCLUDING LOW BIRTH RATES.

THE CLOSURE AS PART OF A NATIONWIDE TREND.

A RECENT REPORT SHOWS 217 HOSPITALS IN RURAL AREAS HAVE CLOSER LABOR AND DELIVERY UNITS.

LOCALLY, PARADISE VALLEY HOSPITAL CLOSED ITS LABOR AND DELIVERY DEPARTMENT TWO YEARS AGO.

PALOMAR HEALTH AND POWER WAY CONSOLIDATE ITS SERVICES.

THE NEW KAISER HOSPITAL, WHICH HAD ITS RIBBON-CUTTING TODAY, HOWEVER, WASN'T A FACTOR AS IT ONLY PROVIDES SERVICES TO KAISER MEMBERS.

FOR TRI-CITY, THIS STARTED WHEN VISTA COMMUNITY CLINIC REFERRED EXPECTED MOTHERS TO PALOMAR.

>> WE FELT THAT VERY HARD BECAUSE WE DID THINK IT WAS FAIR OR LEGAL BUT, WE WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN FINDING THAT PECK TRANSFERRED THE AVERAGE BABY DELIVERY DROPPED TO ABOUT ONE-A- DAY.

HE SAYS THE VOLUME WAS ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN THE UNIT.

THE DECISION AFFECTED IN MORE PERSONALLY.

>> I WAS BORN AT TRI-CITY.

MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND ALL MY COUSINS AND EVEN MY SON WAS BORN AT TRI-CITY.

MY WIFE WENT INTO LABOR ON MY 30th BIRTHDAY.

MY SON WAS ALMOST BORN EXACTLY 30 YEARS LATER IN THE SAME HOSPITAL.

>> Reporter: HE REMAINS OPTIMISTIC THAT THE LABOR AND DELIVERY DEPARTMENT WILL REOPEN.

HE'S CALLING IT A REBIRTH BUT HE SAYS IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN THAT IS.

>>> A NATIONAL TROVE OF MEDICAL INFORMATION CALL, ALL OF US, GOT A $54 MILLION GRANT TO BRING DIVERSITY TO THE DATABASE.

THE PROCESS LED BY SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE AIMS TO CHANGE THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE DECK HOW IT'S GOING.

>> Reporter: 1 MILLION PEOPLE AT LEAST .

ALL OF US WAS TO POPULATE ITS MEDICAL DATABASE.

FORMER NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH DIRECTOR FRANCIS COLLINS DESCRIBES THE MEANING OF ALL OF US IN THIS PROMOTIONAL VIDEO.

>> SO MUCH WE HAVE DONE IN MEDICINE HAS NOT REALLY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES.

WE ARE REALLY BUILDING A FUNDAMENTAL BASE OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW HUMANS STAY HEALTHY OR GET SICK AND WANT TO DO ABOUT IT.

I THINK THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE WILL BE ALTERED IN PROFOUND WAYS.

FOR ALL OF US CREATED DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.

THE COLLECTION OF PERSONAL MEDICAL STORIES IS ON ITS WAY TO ITS MILLION PERSON GOAL.

>> WE SAY AT LEAST 1 MILLION AND WE ARE ABOUT HALFWAY THERE.

WE HAVE RECRUITED OVER 500,000 FOLKS.

>> Reporter: SHE IS WITH SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND SHE'S PROGRAM DIRECTOR OF THE PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE .

THE NATIONWIDE CONSORTIUM.

CHILI'S THE GROUP ALONG WITH FELLOW SCRIPPS RESEARCH SCIENTIST ERIC TOPOL.

TBC RECEIVED A $54 MILLION GRANT FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN VOLUNTEERS.

PARTICIPANTS WILL PROVIDE THEIR GENETIC AND MEDICAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES, TO THE ALL OF US DATABASE.

>> ONE OF OUR GOALS IS TO MAKE SURE 50% OF THE COHORT IS MADE UP OF FOLKS WHO SELF IDENTIFIES PART OF A RACIAL, ETHNIC GROUP THAT IS HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED.

I.E.

NONWHITE INDIVIDUALS.

>> Reporter: THEY WANT PEOPLE WHO ARE DIVERSE IN TERMS OF THEIR HEALTH.

>> PEOPLE UNDERREPRESENTED BY MEDICAL RESEARCH IN ANY WAY.

THIS INCLUDES DISABILITY, SEXUAL GENDER MINORITIES, ET CETERA.

>> Reporter: THE GOAL IS TO UNDERSTAND A WIDE RANGE OF HUMAN GENETICS AND DISEASES.

PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEERED TO BE PART OF ALL OF US FILL OUT A SURVEY AND TYPICALLY PROVIDE A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE.

IT IS NOT JUST A SNAPSHOT .

THEIR HEALTH WILL BE TRACKED BY THE PROGRAM FOR 10 YEARS.

SHE IS THE PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR WHO OVERSEES ALL OF US AT UC SAN DIEGO HELPED.

SHE SAYS HAVING SO MANY HEALTH EXAMPLES IN ONE PLACE MEANS WE CAN TREAT YOUR DISEASES BY FINDING PEOPLE OUT THERE WHOSE HEALTH IS VERY SIMILAR TO YOURS.

>> IT DOESN'T REALLY WORK LIKE A ONE-ON-ONE.

IT IS NOT LIKE FIND MY TWIN.

THE DATABASE IS LIKE FIND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE ME AND THEN HOW DO I COMPARE TO EVERYBODY ELSE?

AND THAT IS WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT IT.

>> Reporter: WOULD DO VOLUNTEERS GET OUT OF IT?

IF THEY OFFER A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE, THEY WILL HAVE THEIR GENOME MAPPED AND THEY COULD GET GOOD INFO ABOUT THEIR HEALTH RISKS.

AND, IF THEY WANT, ALL OF US CAN TELL HIM WHERE THEIR ANCESTORS CAME FROM.

KIND OF LIKE 23 AND ME.

>>> MONDAY IS THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR THE SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL A VACANCY ON THE SANYO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

DISTRICT FOR RESIDENTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO VOTE.

FOUR CANDIDATES ARE RUNNING.

DEMOCRATS, SAN DIEGO COUNCILMEMBER AND JANESSA GOLD MAC.

VOTING CENTERS REMAIN OPEN THROUGH AUGUST 15.

>>> THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS ASYLUM-SEEKERS CAN'T COME TO THE BORDER WITHOUT SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS THROUGH A PHONE AT.

ADVOCATES HAVE FILED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE POLICY.

>> Reporter: THE APP IS CALLED CBP ONE AND ASYLUM-SEEKERS DON'T USE IT ARE GETTING TURNED AWAY AT THE BORDER.

>> THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF THIS LAWSUIT IS THAT USE OF THE APP CANNOT BE THE EXCLUSIVE WAY TO SEEK ASYLUM AT A PORT OF ENTRY IN UNITED STATES.

TRANSFER THAT IS MOST THE CROWED DIRECTOR OF LITIGATION.

THE ORGANIZATION THAT FILED THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF 10 ASYLUM-SEEKERS.

THEY SAY SOME MIGRANTS JUST CAN'T GET APPOINTMENTS, EITHER BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A PHONE OR THEY AREN'T TECH SAVVY ENOUGH TO NAVIGATE THE APP.

OTHERS ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER AND DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

SHE SAYS EXISTING LAW SHOULD PREVENT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR MAKING THESE ROLES.

>> AND THIS APPOINTMENT REQUIREMENT FLIES IN THE FACE OF SECTION 1150 8A.

IT SAYS ANYONE, REGARDLESS OF STATUS AND REGARDLESS OF MANNER OF ENTRY, MUST BE PERMITTED TO SEEK ASYLUM.

TRANSFER THERE ASKING A FEDERAL JUDGE TO ORDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO STOP WHAT THEY'RE REFERRING TO AS THE TURNBACK POLICY.

THERE ARE EXEMPTIONS TO THE REQUIREMENTS.

AT LEAST ON PAPER.

THE POLICY LAST PEOPLE TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AT A BORDER CROSSING EXPLAINED WHY THEY CAN'T USE THE APP OR EXPLAIN EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE AN INTERNET THREAT TO THEIR SAFETY.

HOWEVER, CROWS SAYS THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING TURNED AWAY BEFORE THEY CAN EVEN REACH THE BORDER CROSSING.

>> THIS WAS NOT MANDATORY AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO PORT OF ENTRY.

AND, WHAT IS HAPPENING AT PORTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER FLATLY CONTRADICTS THAT GUIDANCE.

>>> HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS FACE DANGEROUS HE CONDITIONS.

KAREN KEEFE EXPLAINS THAT WHILE SUMMER TRAVELERS ARE USED TO STORMS CAUSING PROBLEMS, AVIATION EXPERTS SAY EXTREME HEAT CAN POSE CHALLENGES IN THE SKIES.

>> Reporter: EU WAVE STRETCHING FROM COAST TO COAST, INTO THIS WEEKEND.

>> EVEN THOSE PLACES, THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN AS HOT AS IT IS FOR AS LONG AS IT HAS BEEN.

TRANSFER THOSE MAKING A GETAWAY SHOULD PREPARE FOR AIR TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS.

DANIEL JACOBS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA AVIATION GOVERNMENT SAYS THE HIGHER THE TEMPERATURE IS, THE LESS DENSITY IN THE AIR.

>> THE AERODYNAMICS BEHIND THE LIFT, THE WINGS, TO GENERATE LIFT, IT IS DEPENDENT ON THE DENSITY OF THE AIR.

>> Reporter: THAT MEANS PLANES NEED LESS WEIGHT AND LONGER RUNWAYS FOR TAKEOFF.

CARRIERS MAY CHOOSE TO CARRY LESS FUEL OR DROPPED BAGGAGE.

HE SAID THE SAFETY THE GROUND CREW IS UNDER CONSIDERATION AS THEY DO THE HEAVY LIFTING TO SERVICE, FUEL, LOAD AND UNLOAD PLANES.

EXTRA SAFETY BRAKES TO KEEP WORKERS HYDRATED CAN DELAY FLIGHT SCHEDULES.

>> IT WILL AFFECT THE TURNAROUND TIME FOR AIRCRAFT.

THESE CREWS WANT TO GO INSIDE TO A COOLER PLACE TO COOL THEMSELVES AND GET WATER.

>> Reporter: TO BEAT THE HEAT, TRY AN EARLY MORNING OR LATE NIGHT FLIGHT WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER AND COMPLY WITH FLIGHT ATTENDANT REQUEST TO LOWER WINDOW SHADES AND OPEN AIR VENTS TO KEEP CABINS COOL.

>>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY YASSINE SEVERAL DEBTS ON OR NEAR HIKING TRAILS LIKE THIS ONE AT LAKE HODGES PICK SOME OF THEM BECAUSE OF HOW HOT IT HAS BEEN.

AN EXPERT WITH THE CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST RECOMMENDS HIKERS HAVE THEIR TRAIL MAPPED OUT BEFORE DEPARTING AND DON'T BYPASS ANY CLOSED SIGNS.

>> THE SHOOTING IN A FEW THESE AREAS, THEY HAVE TO HIKE DOWN TO THE WATERFALLS AND THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT THE HI BACKUP.

THIS CAN BE A A STEEP GAIN.

IF YOU BRING ENOUGH WATER, YOU ARE GOING TO GO DOWN.

THAT IS WHERE THE RESCUERS HAVE TO COME IN AND SAVE THE FOLKS.

RESCUERS RECOMMEND YOU BRING A GALOWATER WITH YOU PER PERSON.

AND PLAN YOUR HIKES EARLY IN THE MORNING OR LATER IN THE EVENING WHEN IT STARTS TO COOL OFF.

NEVER STOP STRIVING FOR NEW HEIGHTS.

>> I WENT UP TO THE AIRPORT AND GOT INTO A PLANE AND THE GUY GOT ON MY BACK AND UP WE WENT.

AND THEN DOWN WE WENT.

AND, I LIKE THAT A LOT.

>> Reporter: HIS NECK SCHOOL JUST CAME TO HIM AND SINCE HIS SON, JOHN, IS AN AVID BACKPACKER, CLAIMING YOSEMITE'S HALF DOME WAS IN A BAD IDEA.

>> IT WAS GOING FURTHER AND FURTHER.

AND IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE TO SEE HIM ASSEMBLING THOSE CABLES.

TRAN40 TRAIN FOR THE CLIMB BY SCALING THE STAIRS OF HIS 17 FLOOR SENIOR LIVING CENTER.

IT WILL BE A STEAMY START TO THE WEEKEND.

ALONG THE COAST, IT WILL NOT BE AS HOT.

WE HAVE A DEEPER MARINE LAYER THAT'S KEEPING TEMPERATURES DOWN.

BUT WE ARE TRACKING AN INCREASE IN MONSOONAL MOISTURE FURTHER INLAND.

TONIGHT, RUN SAN DIEGO, DROPPING DOWN TO A LOW 69.

THERE WILL BE AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS CAUSING SOME VISIBILITY ISSUES LATE TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY HOURS TOMORROW.

MOUNT LAGUNA, FLIRTING WITH 80.

A LITTLE LOWER ALONG THE COAST FROM SAN DIEGO TO CHULA VISTA WITH HIGHS AT 78.

WE ARE TRACKING AN INCREASING MONSOONAL MOISTURE WITH HIGH- PRESSURE SHIFTING EAST.
