Dear Amy: My mother raised eight children. She is now in her late-70s, and lives alone.Recently she received a cancer diagnosis and we have been taking turns getting her to appointments and helping with errands, chores, meals, etc.We are happy to help, and tell her so.My problem is that she gets very emotional and constantly apologizes to us, saying variations of: “Children should never have to care for their mother” and stating that she is “a burden” to us.Constant reassurance from us is not helping.How can we help her to understand that we want to help, and are happy to do so?She spent many years caring for her own mother at the end of my grandmother’s life, so I’m not sure if that is part of it or not.What do you think?— Feeling HelplessDear Helpless: I suspect that your mother’s lengthy experience taking care of her own mother probably is a factor informing her emotional response now.People seldom talk about this, but for some, caregivin...Durham report on Trump-Russia investigation: What led to it and what happens next

By ERIC TUCKER (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — An investigation into the origins of the FBI’s probe into ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign has finally been concluded, with prosecutor John Durham submitting a much-awaited report that found major flaws.The report, the culmination of a four-year investigation into possible misconduct by U.S. government officials, contained withering criticism of the FBI but few significant revelations. Nonetheless, it will give fodder to Trump supporters who have long denounced the Russia investigation. Meanwhile Trump opponents will likely point to the Durham team’s meager court record — one guilty plea and two acquittals at trial — as proof that the probe was a politically motivated farce.A look at the investigation and the report:WHO IS JOHN DURHAM?Durham has spent decades as a Justice Department prosecutor, with past assignments including investigations into the FBI’s coz...France tightens bird flu measures in southwest after new outbreaks

France has strengthened sanitary measures in order to combat a wave in bird flu cases in southwest France, where the outbreaks have recently increased. The French Agriculture Ministry announced this on Friday (12 May).France was among the worst-affected countries by the spread of bird flu, also known as avian influenza, around the globe in the last year.This disease has caused the death of hundreds of millions birds and disrupted supply of poultry meat, eggs, and other products. Some countries such as France have therefore planned vaccination campaigns to protect farm flocks.The agriculture ministry released a statement saying that 21 outbreaks of highly-pathogenic bird flu, mostly in ducks, have been detected since May 4.The ministry reported that until the last week, France hadn't recorded any outbreaks since 14 March, leading to the authorities lowering their alert level nationwide from high to medium.It said that in the southwest, flocks near affected farms would be culed to red...Trailblazer Gloria Molina was first Latina in California to win several elected offices

County Board of Supervisors, needless to say Gloria Molina inspired legions of women, particularly Latinas, to demand a seat at the table and to hold leadership roles.And with a political career that spanned more than three decades, Molina’s influence was felt at all levels of government – local, state and national. Despite reaching such heights, those who knew her said Molina never forgot her roots and devoted her life to being a fierce advocate for the underserved.And so news of her passing on Sunday, May 14, following a three-year bout with cancer, was met with an outpouring of words of admiration from politicos and civic leaders throughout L.A. County.Molina, 74, died at her home in Mt. Washington, surrounded by loved ones.A public Celebration of Life will take place July 15 at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, a Mexican-American museum and cultural center in downtown L.A. that Molina had ...Former California teacher, wrestling coach pleads guilty to possession of child pornography
