screenings for all student athletes partnering with a nonprofit. joining us to talk about this is the assistant superintendent of educational services and the executive director of the kyle j taylor foundation. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you for having us. >> jennifer, i'm going to start with you because you are not just the executive director. you were kyle's mom. kyle was a student athlete for whom this type of screening may have made a difference. tell us a little about him. >> do i start -- where do i start? kyle was in amazing young man peered i am his mom so i am a little biased. he was kind appeared that is one of the words used most to describe kyle peered active. loved to be outside. was funny and humorous and goofy , also could be quite stubborn

and very competitive when it came to his sports, either watching or playing. i was lucky to be his mom and we had a very close relationship. >> it is clear you lead an active life and one day, what happened? >> in february of 2018, kyle was almost 19. he was going to be 19 in march of that year. he was going to a community college. he was an active young man and february 22 2018 started out like any other day. he headed off to school and came home after the end of his day and rated our refrigerator and said i'm going to go hang out with friends in santa cruz. i'm going to hang out. something he had done numerous times. nothing that would alert me there was anything wrong. he left and i was more worried about him driving over 17 then anything.

let her that night i got a phone call from one of his friends he had collapsed and had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital in santa cruz. it was there that i first heard sudden cardiac arrest. >> i'm so sorry for your loss and of course there was no sign of any cardiac issues. i assume in your case no family history of a problem or you would've done the screening. >> not that we were aware at the time. only symptom we had was a couple years before kyle had fainted and after a soccer practice and was taken to the local emergency room and we were told he was dehydrated. followed up with our pediatrician and he was back on the field a couple days. so we thought he is fine and when this happened i found out fainting can be one of the first and most common warning signs of a heart issue. >> you started the foundation in kyle's name to raise awareness and save lives so you have this

partnership with campbell. i'm going to bring you in to tell you how you are working -- to tell how you are working with jennifer to ensure student athletes in the schools will get the screenings that perhaps could have saved kyle. >> and we have partnered with the foundation back in 2019 and they have conducted screenings at three of our high schools. lee high school, westmont high school in brenham high school. i believe over 855 students have been screened and 12 students have been caught with the condition so that is very important. our priority in this district as the health and safety of our students so partnering up with this foundation and knowing they have screened and identified 12 students and possibly saved their lives, that is very important to us.

now, our board of trustees approved a memorandum of understanding with the foundation where we will be screening our ninth graders as well as our 11th graders for the heart condition. we are very happy we are partnered and now it is mandatory. the school sites are ready to support students who may have a financial barrier. the cost, the foundation is helping with the cost. it used the cost $40. now it is down to $10. now we are subsidizing it. if we have a students with a financial barrier we are going to provide a fee waiver. >> so most students will pay the $10 but those who cannot afford it they will be able to get it for free. this will be offered to ninth and 11th graders. required, not just offered.

tell us about what is included in the screening. >> do what me to cover that -- do you want me to cover that? sure. the most accurate test to detect an issue that can cause cardiac arrest is an electrocardiogram. we bring the ecg machines in. we have trained volunteers who helped run those for us. we have doctors who volunteer their time to read them for us. depending on how many kids at a school site we will screen, will bring in three or four machine and screened them in an afternoon and give them the results of the reading. remotely or doctors will read them on site depending on the availability. >> can it be that ekg shows normal but the echocardiogram 10 catch other abnormalities? should everybody get the echo?

>> that is our goal eventually. those machines unfortunately are not very cheap. we have a couple on site and you have to have a -- someone who is specialized to run one of those. that is our long-term goal. we would do an ecg on everybody. we used to have one on site. if a doctor sees family history or a child has had some symptoms, we will refer them to our echo as well. >> i know student athletes have to get the physical annually before they are cleared to participate. is that a not -- is that not enough? >> i will say no, it is not because our current participation physicals missed 90 percent of what causes cardiac arrest. a stethoscope misses those.

it cannot be heard. that is why it is missing a step so we're already excited the school district has made this a part of their pre-participation for their athletes. >> i imagine it is not just do now athletes. in terms of undetected cardiac conditions, it can be any student. >> absolutely. the statistic is it is the number one cause of death for student athletes but that is a broad definition because their definition is used. any youth who has four hours of activity a week. that is kids in pe. any kid that goes to the gym after school pure it is not just organized sports that is why we do the large organized ones. with the preparticipation physicals being required for athletes, that is why we are asking the school district to do the athletes and maybe down the road we will open that up to all students. >> do you see this as a one year thing? do you plan to continue it?

>> we do not see it as a one year thing. this has been going on since 2019 and we are looking at continuing with this partnership and growing. the other thing i want to add is we are starting with ninth and 11th graders this coming school year but the foundation and the site will work together to possibly identify if they have the human capital, the manpower to also identify and screen some of our sophomores. >> best of luck to you. thank you both so much for coming on today. really important issue. >> thank you for having us. >> don't go away. when we come

>> runaway inflation is running faster and faster surging to a new four decade high in the month of june. the consumer price index soared 9.1% over the past year. what does this mean for us? joining us to break it down is bloomberg reporter liz cap on mccormick thank you for joining us. consumer price index jumping by 9.1%. there is a lot that goes into that. which prices jumped the most? >> we had a broad base rise in everything but a big area was rent. you might know this anecdotally. people complain. areas for housing. the rental prices went up. energy went up. people are thinking that will

come off a little because oil prices are down this month. only a few areas like some of the ones that had been so high like lodging and things like travel that got a little reprieve. we saw mostly rises across the board. >> apparel, used cars, all that? why is this happening? >> is a mix of things. i will tell you broadly what people feel like to people feel the federal reserve waited too long to start tightening policy and remove some of the unprecedented accommodation they had done correctly during the crisis. we have had supply chain issues that have lingered longer than people thought. the war in ukraine has added to a big and bit is on energy. there is a trifecta of things

clogging the wheels up. >> before we get into the fed and potential solutions, are salaries keeping up because otherwise everyone is getting a pay cut. >> everyone unfortunately is because if you look into these data, the real wages are negative. you might see these raises in the last review season for people. inflation over 9%, people are not keeping up. if you go shopping, you are feeling like it is harder to buy the cheese, the eggs, the milk. it is not easy. > if that is the case -- i mean i sought the pay my rent. i still have to buy a certain amount of food. those things are fixed. what does that mean in terms of what maybe i won't spend money on and what sectors are those because people are not buying those things? >> you have to buy certain things. discretionary things. some people are saying i was

kind of liking that we could get out to go out to week three times a week. maybe i will do two. people were home a lot. some of us are still. people are doing things to their home. maybe stepping back on goods and things like that. where you have discretion -- i used to drive to my brothers. now if the gas prices, maybe i don't need to see him as much. >> i will just zoom you. let's talk about the solutions. the fed has started to raise interest rates. what are the other levelers -- other levers? >> unfortunately, there is not a lot of the fed can do to change supply chains. they are raising aggressively and we saw that today in the financial markets after the cpi came. maybe the fed is going to increase rates a full percentage

point which is a lot to start doing. the supply chain stuff they have no control over. president biden is trying to do what he can. some of his measures have helped bring gas prices down. free up oil reserves. some states are looking at taking with the gas tax. people are trying to do what they can. some of it, it just depends. now we have issues in china with the zero covid policy. they have had more out rakes. -- outbreaks. it is a tough fix for the fed to be in. they seem very confident they will do and can do what they can. >> are there any indicators you can look at and say that is a little bit of good news? >> i would say when people go to get gas now, they are feeling a little better. not great by any means but that is coming off said some of the

sectors in cpi -- we all went to go away and get hotels. air flights are coming off. there are some things but i don't think the consumer staples like you mentioned, you go to the store. you have to buy food. no one is seeing a reprieve and that and that stings to my daughter looking to rent a new place and they're like i cannot afford it now. what hits you in the pocketbook is not going the right way for now. >> we have to get out of here because we're almost out of time but i have to ask you the fact the u.s. dollar is now trading one-to-one with the euro when we used to be or maybe i just old but i remember when we had to pay two dollars for every euro. what does that mean? does that via something? >> i remember that too. maybe it is a good time to go to europe. it is cheaper. when we go somewhere and it is almost two for one, it is all -- it is so expensive. although everything is is

expensive, you're deafly getting more bank for your buck going to one of the 19 countries that use the euro. let's say italy where you can get a lot more value for your u.s. dollar so that is a positive for us. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up next, we will look at space like we have never seen it before. astronomy professor andrew fraud every search you make, every click you take, every move you make, every step you take, i'll be watching you.

>> welcome back. we are seeing deeper into the universe than ever before. nasa's webb telescope has sent back images is standing people all over the globe. this shows thousands of galaxies. the red one going back to the done of time. more than 13 billion years ago. nasa says the images are the deepest view of the universe ever captured. running is now is a professor of

astronomy at the from institute at the university of san francisco. so great to have you. >> good to be back with you. >> you look extra giddy. wire you so excited? >> i think this is the most exciting thing that has happened in astronomy in a long time. it is as if we have a new pair of eyes on the universe. >> that pair of eyes is incredible. the name is webb telescope. what makes it so cool? >> you are right because cool it is. instead of sending back information in a visible light that eyes can see, it is showing us the universe in infrared light. what some people say heat rays. there are many things any of the universe that don't shine with light but do shine with infrared so we can look further back in time and deeper into things like

the birthplace of stars. >> web -- i took a photo or looked at the photo of the telescope itself. it seems to have all these old mirrors and they kind of fold like origami. explain how those go into collecting the light and the images. >> it turns out that infrared light reflects differently from visible light so they may be mirrors coated with gold. it turns out to be a superb reflector for the kind of race we are dealing with. this is a giant telescope. it is 21 feet in diameter, the reflecting surface. it can really show incredible details. if you have a friend hold up a penny 24 miles away, you could distinguish that penny.

that is how good it is. >> we want to focus on a few of the images and see what they are telling us. walk us through them. this one is the southern ring nebula. tell us about this one. >> we switched pictures now. look at the picture and tell me what we are seeing. when we are seeing now is an amazing picture. einstein predicted gravity could act like a lens and distort things in here we see a giant collection of galaxies in the middle. the bright blobs or galaxies of billions of stars and the joint gravity is so strong it has taken the images of even further away galaxies behind them and stretching them into these brown arcs. i think everyone can see these strange arcs. >> i was wondering why the curvature. >> the curvature is actually gravity acting like a lens. einstein would be thrilled with this picture.

because gravity not only bends the arcs but also it intensifies the light. we'll be able to see much fainter and more distant galaxies way out there and way back in time. >> let's ask our producer to pull up the next picture. there were several that were just incredible. this one. is this a dream? >> this is the cosmic cliffs and what we are seeing here are beautiful clouds of gas and dust, the raw material of the universe which are right there forming into new stars and new planets. gravity in this dense region is clumping things if i can use that technical term and making new stars and because this is all hidden by dust, light lightd not penetrate but the infrared rays do.

we can look inside these star nurseries and see the very beginnings of the formation of stars. to me why images taken recently -- the telescope has only been up there a few months are actually of the birth and evolution of planets, galaxies billions of years ago. this is where you needed to pay attention to physics. >> you paid attention to the right concept. light coming from space of any kind is delayed by the fact light takes a while to travel. it is the fastest thing but space is huge so light takes a while to get here. when the light arrives, he and be telling us about things happening in the universe and new stars are still forming today. new stars, new planets, new structures are forming.

the universe is not done getting informed and that is a big discovery we have made in the last 100 years. it is ongoing and there are new planets like the earth forming right now out there. here, we see a dying star which gave off its last gasp and let go of its outer layers. the feeble light of the dying star is illuminating the outer layers making them glow. i like to call this a death shroud. it is the death shroud of a dying star. you can see and the left picture we see only one star but on the right pic picture you can see to stars because the infrared rays are showing us and other star enshrouded dust in the middle that was not visible in the first picture but is visible in the second one. it is this kind of peekaboo we are going to be getting a lot of with the telescope. >> hope that is not how we are going to look in 4 billion years

or however many years we have left. >> we will but that is ok. >> we will continue to chat after a break but i want to let our viewers know getting answers will continue in just a moment but a reminder we can get our live newscast with our abc 7 bay area streaming tv app. it is available on apple tv, android two, fire two, fire tv . we will ta
