Forbes has the richest person in Arizona worth over $5 billion
These people detailed by Forbes are worth billions of dollars, including the richest man in America, Bill Gates, who is worth $88.9 billion. The richest person in all of Arizona, according to Forbes, is Bruce Halle. Forbes said the company now has $4.2 billion in estimated sales with over 900 stores in 31 states. When Forbes initially released its full findings of the richest people in the nation, Halle was worth $6.0 billion, good for No. That doesn’t mean he is the 27th richest person in the U.S., however, as some states have multiple people worth more than Halle monetary wise.

Michael A. Taylor homers twice as Nats rock the Reds, 18-3
For all the winning the Nationals have done this season, few games have gone as smoothly as their 18-3 win over the Reds on Saturday. The Nationals pummeled Reds starter Homer Bailey for eight runs in 1⅔ innings. After hitting well over .300 in the second half last season, Turner slid somewhat to start this one — which is not unexpected, a sophomore slump. His second hit in two innings drove home Michael A. Taylor to help the Nationals build their lead to three. Turner finished the day 5 for 5 with five singles, a career high.

Trump lashes out at Obama over latest report on Russian election meddling
Trump has long disputed that the Russians interfered with the election, calling it “all a big Dem HOAX” just this week. But on Friday evening, after the publication of The Post’s article, Trump demanded to know why Obama hadn’t done more to stop the meddling. Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Since the Obama Administration was told way before the 2016 Election that the Russians were meddling, why no action? Obama Administration official said they "choked" when it came to acting on Russian meddling of election.

Orioles finally get strong pitching performance in 8-3 win
The pitching effort, led by seven strong innings from Dylan Bundy (8-6) and supplemented with two combined relief innings from Donnie Hart and Mychal Givens, ended the Orioles’ 20-game streak of allowing at least five runs. More importantly for the Orioles, he had a firmer fastball than he has in recent starts. He hit 94 mph in the fourth inning and maintained 92-93 mph on his fastball for most of the day. Left fielder Joey Rickard and Janish each bunted for hits in the eighth inning, and Rickard scored on a sacrifice fly to center field by Machado. Orioles note: Closer Zach Britton (left forearm strain) could move his rehab assignment from Class-A Delmarva to Double-A Bowie on Monday.

Photo: Chris CameronBERMUDA— Larry Ellison’s Oracle Team USA on Saturday won its first race in sailing’s America’s Cup, avoiding a sweep by Emirates Team New Zealand and keeping alive hopes that the U.S. can again come from behind to beat the Kiwis. Oracle’s victory came after the U.S. team lost the first race, making a series of mistakes that included its second too-early start of the Cup. Despite the U.S.’s speed gains, New Zealand won by about two minutes, the biggest gap of the regatta. “It’s a boat race now,” said Nathan Outteridge, helmsman for the Swedish Artemis Racing team that lost to the Kiwis in the qualifying finals.

Salman Khan's 'Tubelight': Unfair Rush To Judgment
Salman Khan FilmsBased on the flimsy evidence of the first-day number in India, some critics and commentators have been quick to write off Salman Khan’s Tubelight as a flop. Even so, some analyst are lowering their estimates for the first four days in India and the lifetime potential of the film starring Salman Khan, his brother Sohail, Chinese actress Zhu Zhu and the late Om Puri. Produced by Salman Khan Films’ Amar Butala, the title launched on June 23 on 4,400 screens in India and on 1,200 screens internationally. Zhu Zhu and Matin Rey Tangu play a widowed mother and son who form bonds with Laxman. The drama rang up $1 million on opening day in the Gulf States and $A220,000 ($168,000) on only 40 screens on Friday/Saturday in Australia.

Texas mom arrested after children die in hot car
Story highlights The mother smoked marijuana after closing her kids in the car, authorities sayShe originally told police they locked themselves inside, the sheriff's office says(CNN) A Texas mother whose two children died of heat exposure after she left them in a car was arrested Friday, local authorities said. "Throughout multiple interviews, Randolph created several variations of the events which led to the death of her children," the release said. But the investigation, which also involved the Texas Rangers, revealed a different story. On May 26, the news release said, Randolph found the children playing in the car around 12:15 p.m. When she told her daughter to get out of the car, she refused, and Randolph closed the car door "to teach her daughter a 'lesson,' thinking 'she could get herself and her brother out of car when ready,'" the release said.

Detox to Retox
Through the proliferation of large yoga chains, the largest of which is CorePower Yoga and publications like Yoga Journal, yoga has become an important and beneficial practice to millions of people. These 12 Steps are based in principle on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, which I’ve been a member of since 1984. But I think to begin our discussion a quote that I heard from a yoga teacher really sums of the state of yoga in America today. She said during a heated class, where we work hard and sweat hard, that the reason why we were there was because we needed to detox, in order to retox. The list goes on and sounds lot like this notion of Detox to Retox.

Julian Birkinshaw's Fast/Forward: How Agile Builds Action-Oriented Firms
Julian Birkinshaw: Agile is the methodology that has gone furthest down the road to operationalizing adhocracy. Denning: If adhocracy and Agile are so important, why is the transition from bureaucracy so agonizingly slow? Is London Business School going to form and train the new generation of leaders, with Fast/Forward (aka Agile) as the default mental model of management? Once having experienced Agile management, there is no going back. When we look at the way business is evolving, we can see that we are still using an industrial-era institutional framework to make companies work.

How Millennials Are Changing Summer Travel
I am a lover of traveling and living the “passport life.” I wasn’t always able to travel because my family could not afford it. International travel didn’t occur in my teens either. Travel is a must for us especially during the summer months. I had a chance to sit down with Jason Elliott of The Go Generation as he shared the top three ways millennials are changing summer travel. Fostering FamilyOne of the more interesting trends I’ve been seeing during the summer months are millennials that spearhead the planning of trips for their extended family.

Wrecking Ramadan: What happened to the month of peace?
(CNN) The 30 days of abstaining from food, water and sex during the daytime is a month of spiritual reflection for Muslims around the world. But this Ramadan, we have hundreds of people killed in many different countries by ISIS murderers. Most Muslims now and throughout history observed an Islam of contemplation, piety and inner goodness. At the core of Salafi-jihadist violence is an extremely literalist reading of history and scripture. An ISIS magazine published before Ramadan named it "the month of martyrdom" and called upon its readers to "maximize the benefit you receive on the day of judgment."

Venezuelan protesters, security forces clash at air base
Young protesters broke down a metal fence guarding an air base in Caracas on Saturday before being repelled by security forces firing tear gas in another day of anti-government protests in Venezuela's capital. Protesters also fought with security forces outside the base Friday, and activists burned some vehicles during the confrontation. Like his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, Maduro frequently accuses the U.S. of trying to topple Venezuela's socialist administration. Maduro praised Venezuela's military for standing by the government and he warned that attempts are underway to try to sow further dissent. ___This story has been corrected to show that protesters burned vehicles on Friday.
