BRIEFSCompiled from Gazette wire services

Police say DNA links uncle to disappearance of child

LOGAN, Utah—DNA has provided

further evidence that the 21-year-old

uncle of a missing 5-year-old girl in Utah

is behind her disappearance, police said

Tuesday.

Evidence also indicates the girl, Eliz-

abeth “Lizzy” Shelley, is hurt, authorities

said, though they did not elaborate. She

was reported missing Saturday morning

by her family after they woke up.

“We would never dash the hope that we

would find her alive,” Logan Police Chief

Gary Jensen said at a news conference.

“But it’s certainly a concern for us at this

point, Lizzy’s safety.”

Tennessee church shooter sentenced to life in prison

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A Tennessee

jury deliberated less than two hours Tues-

day before sentencing the man who shot up

a Nashville church in 2017 to life in prison

without the possibility of parole.

On Friday, the jury found Eman-

uel Kidega Samson guilty of murder in

the death of Melanie Crow. Samson also

injured seven others during his rampage

and will be sentenced on an additional 42

counts in July, although those sentences

will be largely symbolic.

During the sentencing phase of Sam-

son’s trial Tuesday, a psychiatrist testi-

fied Samson suffered from severe mental

illness. That evidence had been suppressed

during the guilt phase of the trial because

it did not meet the criteria for an insan-

ity defense.

Avenatti pleads not guilty to defrauding Daniels

NEW YORK—The pugilistic and

embattled attorney Michael Avenatti

pleaded not guilty Tuesday to defrauding

his most famous client, porn star Stormy

Daniels, and seized the spotlight to toss a

barb at President Donald Trump.

Avenatti barely spoke during his three

appearances before federal judges in New

York, except to answer a few procedural

questions.

Twice, though, he vented to journalists

his disgust with the prosecutions and his

disdain for the president.

MacKenzie Bezos pledges half her fortune to charity

NEW YORK—MacKenzie Bezos,

who finalized her divorce from Amazon

founder and CEO Jeff Bezos earlier this

year, is pledging to give away half her for-

tune to charity.

The novelist said Tuesday that she

signed The Giving Pledge, a campaign to

get the ultra-wealthy to pledge at least half

their fortune to charitable causes. It was

created in 2010 by billionaire investor War-

ren Buffett and Microsoft co-founder Bill

Gates and his wife Melinda Gates.

Associated Press

NEW YORK

The number of new

diabetes cases among U.S.

adults keeps falling even

as obesity rates climb, and

health officials aren’t sure

why.

New federal data

released Tuesday found

the number of new diabe-

tes diagnoses fell to about

1.3 million in 2017, down

from 1.7 million in 2009.

Earlier research had

spotted a decline, and the

new report shows it has

been going on for close to

a decade. But health offi-

cials are not celebrating.

“The bottom line is we

don’t know for sure what’s

driving these trends,” said

the lead author of the new

report, Dr. Stephen Benoit

of the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention.

Among the possibilities:

Changes in testing and getting people to improve their health before becom-ing diabetic.

The report was pub-lished by the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care. The statistics run through 2017. Last year’s numbers are not yet avail-able, Benoit said.

Diabetes is a disease in which sugar builds up in the blood. The most com-mon form is tied to obesity, and the number of diabet-ics ballooned as U.S. obe-sity rates increased.

But other factors also might have pushed up annual diabetes diagno-ses from 2000 to 2010, and they could partly explain why the numbers have been going down since, some experts said.

First, the diagnostic threshold was lowered in the late 1990s. That caused more people to be counted as diabetics, but the impact of that might have played out.

“We might have mined out a lot of the previously

unrecognized cases” and so new diagnoses in the last several years are more likely to be actual new ill-nesses, said Dr. John Buse, a University of North Caro-lina diabetes expert.

Meanwhile, doctors have increasingly used a newer blood test to diag-noses diabetes.

The American Diabetes Association recommended the new test, known as the hemoglobin A1C blood test, for routine screening in 2010. Because it’s easier to do, it would be expected to lead to more diagnoses. But some experts say it might miss a large proportion of early cases in which people aren’t showing symptoms.

Another possibility: Increasingly, more doctors have been diagnosing “pre-diabetes,” a health condi-tion in which blood sugar levels are high but not high enough to hit the diabetes threshold. Physicians typ-ically push such patients into exercise programs and urge them to change their diet.
