Shohei Ohtani's interpreter Ippei Mizuhara out on bond after alleged $16 million theft from MLB star
usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/12/shohei-ohtani-interpreter-ippei-mizuhara-charges-court-16-million/73304065007/
Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
- Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.
- Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.
- United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.
- On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.

Quick Glance: California Voters Approve Measure to Combat Homelessness
- California voters have approved measures that mandate counties to allocate funds for housing and drug rehabilitation programs to address the homelessness crisis.
- Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, successfully advocated for the measure, which represents an update to the state's health system and required significant financial backing.
- The measure gives the state more control over a voter-approved tax enacted in 2004 for mental health services and obligates counties to spend about two-thirds of the funds on housing and programs for homeless individuals with severe mental illnesses or substance abuse issues.
- Opponents argued that the change jeopardizes programs not solely focused on housing or drug rehabilitation, but on preventing individuals from becoming homeless in the first place.

California has to worry about measles again: Marin County and other areas with too-low vaccination rates have shown that vaccine skepticism can be reversed.
latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-03-19/california-measles-vaccine-mmr-doubt
Quick Glance: Measles Outbreaks: Lifelong Protection or Need for Booster?
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns of increasing measles outbreaks in the U.S. and abroad, mostly linked to international travel.
- The MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella is highly effective, with two doses proving 97% effective. A single dose already provides 93% protection.
- The CDC considers you protected from measles if you either received two vaccine doses, received one dose and do not need a booster, or were born before 1957.
- Once fully vaccinated, no booster shots are required, and the two doses provide lifelong immunity. Individuals unsure of their childhood vaccination status should consult with their healthcare provider.
