Two people in Michigan have died after contracting cyclosporiasis, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said Monday. Both people — whose identities were not provided by the state — had “significant underlying health conditions that may have been impacted by cyclosporiasis and dehydration,” according to a news release. Cyclospora, the parasite found in human feces that causes cyclosporiasis, can lead to dehydration because of the loss of fluid through severe diarrhea and vomiting, said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious diseases specialist at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The illness is often treated with Bactrim, an antibiotic, although many people with healthy immune systems often recover on their own, Schaffner said. Schaffner added he’s curious how old the patients were because the immune system weakens as people age. State health officials said no additional information will be provided on the two cases. “Cyclosporiasis is generally not a life-threatening illness. Death resulting from cyclosporiasis is uncommon in the United States,” the health department said in the release. The deaths come amid an unusually severe cyclosporiasis season with cases reported in 45 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 11,000 cases of the foodborne illness have been confirmed in Michigan and 193 people have been hospitalized since early May, according to the state health department. The outbreaks in Michigan and nine other states have been linked to lettuce at Taco Bell that was supplied by Taylor Farms and sourced from central Mexico. Last month, Taylor Farms de Mexico issued a voluntary recall of all iceberg lettuce supplied from central Mexico. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Lors d’une intervention qui a dégénéré, au cours de laquelle deux policiers municipaux ont été blessés, un agent a fait usage de son arme et touché un cambrioleur présumé en fuite, dimanche 2 août 2026, à Vallauris. Ce dernier était toujours en garde à vue au commissariat d’Antibes, ce lundi, afin d’établir si la légitime défense est caractérisée.

Depuis ce lundi 3 août 2026, une pétition est lancée par l’élu du groupe d’opposition Rassemblement national, Hugo Muriel, concernant la présence envahissante de nombreux Roms sur le parking de l’Espace Antibes, situé au nord de la ville.

La violoniste et violoncelliste Camille Berthollet vient de sortir son nouvel album, « Legends ».

A partnership between Parkland Health and a neighborhood barbershop is doing something good to help people talk about mental health. The collaboration led to Shop Talk, where Kutinfed Barbershop in the Vickery Meadow area of Dallas was transformed into a space for open dialogue about mental health. Customers talked while getting haircuts, while others gathered over food and drinks. “Too often, when you ask someone how they’re doing, they’ll say, ‘I can’t complain,’ because they don’t think anyone really wants to hear what they’re going through. We’re trying to change that,” barbershop owner DeShone Williams said in a news release. “As a barber, you feel the pulse of the community. And as time has progressed, it was as if our customers were waiting for something like this.” Shop Talk happened in March and again in July for National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. The first Shop Talk drew about three dozen men who were predominantly Black and Hispanic. The second event saw nearly double the attendees, reinforcing the need for trusted spaces where conversations about mental health can happen openly. “This is bigger than just cutting hair,” Williams said. “We’ve created a safe space here, and that’s what makes these conversations possible.” Findings from the 2025 Dallas County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) identified behavioral health as the county’s most pressing health concern. The assessment found that more Dallas County residents are reporting poor mental health, while Black and Hispanic communities continue to face disproportionate barriers to care, including stigma, language differences, transportation challenges, and limited access to culturally responsive services.

Years of alcohol abuse brought rock icon Phil Collins to death’s door two years ago with loved ones rushing to his bedside “to say goodbye,” the legendary singer and drummer said in an interview published over the weekend. The Genesis front man had been admitted to a Swiss hospital to treat his alcohol addiction before he was released in late 2023 and then re-admitted months later, landing in intensive care where he was unconscious for long stretches of time. His long-time manager summoned Collins’ family, fearing the rock icon was about to die. “Because there were some decisions to be made about ‘Do we keep Phil on life support?’ kind of thing,” Collins told The Times of London in an interview Saturday night. “My kidneys were packing up, my organs were just seizing up. People were coming to say goodbye. But I don’t remember them coming, I didn’t have no idea this was going on. They were all worried that they wouldn’t see me again. It could all have gone so terribly wrong.” Collins said he’s now on the mend following that seven-month stay in the hospital. “I was very lucky to have come out of that,” Collins said. “Needless to say, I haven’t had a drink since.” The Collins family celebrated the end of 2025 by renting out an entire floor of the Mandarin Oriental in the Knightsbridge neighborhood of London, an opportunity to catch up and celebrate. He vividly recalled how his daughter, “Emily in Paris” star Lily Collins, “was sitting beside me in tears, saying, ‘I never thought I’d get these moments.’ We had an incredible time. I can’t overemphasize how fantastic it was,” he said. The 75-year-old musician has said he’s also been facing mobility issues lately, making it hard to get back on stage. He’s been frequently seen using crutches in recent public appearances. “I had five operations on my knee now,” Phil explained on the BBC’s “Eras” podcast in January. “I’ve got a knee that works and I can walk, albeit with assistance (from) crutches.” The decades he’s spent playing the drums have also taken a significant toll on the eight-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member. “If I can’t do what I did as well as I did it, I’d rather relax and not do anything. If I wake up one day and I can hold a pair of drumsticks, then I will have a crack at it. But I just feel like I’ve used up my air miles,” he said in a 2024 documentary “Phil Collins: Drummer First.”

The decision will cost Bader roughly $1.5 million for the rest of this season, but potentially much more in 2027. Bader is owed $10 million in the second season of a two-year deal he signed in January, but there are long-term concerns about the left foot, per league sources. Bader and the MLBPA could fight the move, but he also is likely to have a tough time proving his side of the case. He was injured when he crashed his scooter in the Marina around 2 a.m. on Saturday night, and some within the organization expect that more information will come out, including the possibility of video. This is not the first scooter-related incident for Bader, who was suspended while at the University of Florida because he was involved in an accident. During that collision, which occurred in 2014, Bader reportedly struck a curb and then ran into a Ford pickup truck. Bader went on to become a third-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals, and after several other stops, he signed in free agency with the Giants this past offseason. The goal for the front office was to improve the outfield defense by putting Bader’s glove in center and moving Jung Hoo Lee to right, and at the time of the agreement, Posey spoke about the front office’s feeling that Bader could be a contributor at the plate, too. At the time of the plantar fasciitis injury, Bader was hitting just .170 with a .198 on-base percentage. The move of Lee to right has been a success, but the Giants have had to rely on others in center field. Bader has played just 30 games because of a hamstring strain and plantar fasciitis, the latter of which landed him on the IL…
