10-year-old, Miami Beach sailboat crash victim has died from her wounds
Miami Beach boat crash victim, 10-year-old Ari Buchman, has died. She and several other children were part of a summer sailing camp operated by the Miami Yacht Club. Her family's place of worship made the announcement Sunday morning, "With broken hearts, we announce the funeral service of our beloved Arielle Mazi Buchman." The sailboat she was on and a barge collided in Biscayne Bay near Miami Beach on Monday, killing two young girls and critically injuring Ari and another girl. The crash occurred around 11:15 a.m. between Hibiscus Island and Monument Island, authorities said. Six people, five girls and one adult camp counselor, were aboard the sailboat when it was struck. The sailboat was dragged under the barge which had a crane on top and what appeared to be pilings for a dock. Miami Beach Fire Rescue crews were first on scene, they were later joined by rescue crews from Miami, Miami-Dade, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Coast Guard. Working together they recovered all six people. The Coast Guard said a 7-year-old and a 13-year-old girl died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, while an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old girl remain in critical condition. That 10-year-old, has died. Argentinian television station Telefe, which is owned by Paramount, the parent company of CBS Miami, identified the 7-year-old girl who died as Mila Yankelevich, the daughter of television director Tomas Yankelevich, who lives in Miami. A 12-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman were treated after being taken to the Miami Yacht Club and did not require hospitalization. The children were part of a summer sailing camp operated by the Miami Yacht Club and affiliated with the Miami Youth Sailing Foundation. This was the final week of camp. CBS News Miami spoke with several of them who witnessed the crash. They said everyone on the sailboat was wearing life jackets. Enzo Pifer Eddy, 9, described the barge hitting the boat. "There was a massive boat and it hit one of the small sailboats. All of the kids went flying off. Two were found quickly and three had to go to the hospital," he said. Another 8-year-old, who asked not to be identified, saw the crash while sailing nearby on what she called a "Wave Sailboat." "The crane just completely destroyed the boat. The boat just went under. I heard one girl yell, 'Help,' from under the crane and two girls jumped off the wave and the crane barely missed them," she said. "It was super sad and super scary. I'm just glad I wasn't on the boat, but I felt so sorry for them," she added. The Miami Yacht Club is known for its friendly, unpretentious spirit. Membership is open to the public and they put an emphasis on introducing inner-city kids to the bay. In a statement, the club said, "The entire MYC family is devastated by this terrible tragedy." One of the questions that needs to be answered is whether the crash could have been avoided. Jon Nitkin, a harbor pilot for PortMiami, said the accident happened in unrestricted waters, meaning it was wide enough that the barge had multiple avenues to maneuver around the smaller vessel. "I saw the barge. It was one of those crane barges that do work, they build seawalls and docks. Very underpowered. The move very slowly and its difficult to stop them," he said. Nitkin questioned whether the captain of the tugboat, which was pushing the barge, was aware of the smaller vessel. "I don't know what kind of visibility he (tugboat captain) has from the wheelhouse. My guess, usually very poor. So they usually have a crew member up on the bow of the barge, not the tug, so he can keep a lookout," he said. Investigators said the sailboat is still submerged under the barge. The Coast Guard has set up a 250-yard safety zone around it to keep other vessels away. According to the Coast Guard, vessel owners are responsible for hiring a commercial salvage company to safely remove the vessels form the water and avoid any further problems or issues like an oil spill. The commercial salvage company must submit these plans for the Coast Guard's approval. "Our hearts are with the families of those lost and all who have been affected by this tragedy," Capt. Frank Florio, Commander of Coast Guard Sector Miami, said in a statement. "Incidents like this leave a lasting impact on our maritime community and reinforce the importance of learning from every loss. The Coast Guard will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the causal factors and identify steps to help prevent similar tragedies in the future."Mauricio Maldonado contributed to this report.

Elvis biographer sets record straight about Colonel Tom Parker in hefty tome
The popular perception of Colonel Tom Parker is that he chiseled Elvis Presley out of a lot of money, forced his participation in some really bad 1960s movies and ensured Presley's late-career servitude to Las Vegas with a gambling addiction to match the King's own drug habit. But this is not the story Peter Guralnick looks to tell in his mammoth new book, 'The Colonel and the King: Tom Parker, Elvis Presley, and the Partnership that Rocked the World.' The book is long on the 'Colonel,' a moniker Parker claimed as his first name after the governor of Louisiana gave him the honorary title in 1948, and short on the King, who, after all, has been the subject of countless previous volumes. Some of the best were actually written by Guralnick, including 'Last Train to Memphis' and 'Careless Whispers.' Few writers know more about early rock 'n' roll and roots music, or have such passion for the subject. If you haven't read Guralnick, you should make a point to. Does that mean you should read 'The Colonel and the King?' Only if you deeply seek a comprehensive study of Elvis' longtime manager, who, it must be said, led a fascinating life defined by self-mythology and willful deception. Guralnick knew Parker from 1988 until his death in 1997, and you get the feeling the author saw his subject also as a friend. The book isn't hagiography, because Guralnick does so much research and reporting for every book that he's incapable of writing a one-sided account of any subject. That said, 'The Colonel and the King' often reads like a Parker apologia, or at least a concentrated effort to set some records straight. For instance, there's Parker's oft-reported reluctance to let Elvis tour internationally near the end of his career, for the reason that Parker wasn't a U.S. citizen and therefore didn't have a passport. 'The subject of much uninformed speculation,' Guralnick writes, suggesting other reasons. 'How could Elvis go to Japan, with its strict drug laws, how could he pass through all the customs stations he would have to clear in Europe if it were not to be a single small-country tour, without his prescribed medications? And who was going to carry those medications for him?' Parker's background as a carnival worker is often used to deride him. How could a mere carny know about the music business, or qualify him to steward the king of rock 'n' roll? But the liveliest and most revealing parts of 'The Colonel and the King' actually come before the Colonel meets the King, as Guralnick paints a picture of a tireless hustler desperate to reinvent himself. Parker long claimed that he was born Thomas Andrew Parker in West Virginia. In fact, he was born Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk in Breda, Holland. As a boy, he went by 'Dries.' His father was a liveryman and retired soldier. When young Dries fell in with a family circus and taught his father's horses to do tricks, his dad roared that the kid 'was no son of his, that he would never amount to anything, and, after beating him to within an inch of his life, announced that he would be banned from having anything to do with the stables.' As a teen, Parker smuggled himself to the U.S., got sent back, then made the trek again, this time successfully. He developed a habit of being unofficially adopted by surrogate families and then disappearing without a trace, a pattern that continued when he joined the U.S. Army, went AWOL and eventually received an honorable discharge in 1933, with a certificate of disability that cited reasons of 'Psychic Psychogenic Depression' (Parker claimed he was discharged for having a bad leg). He eventually ended up in Florida, where he became a jack-of-all-trades carny and developed a sharp instinct for advance publicity and promotion. Read more: Looking back at the 1968 TV special that made Elvis Presley matter again Elvis wasn't Parker's first music client; he developed his chops first with early pop superstar Gene Austin, then country star Hank Snow. But when Parker first witnessed Elvis and Elvis mania at the Louisiana Hayride in 1955, he was determined to manage him. Then it was on to selling him, cunningly and ferociously, to RCA, 20th Century Fox and whoever else would help build the mighty Elvis industry. 'The Colonel and the King' is a hunk of a book, weighing in at 624 pages. That includes about 250 pages of annotated letters to and from the Colonel, which might have been better used, in truncated form, spread throughout the narrative proper. You also get the sense that perhaps the author was rather quick to take Parker for his word, considering Parker himself once joked that he was writing an autobiography called 'The Benevolent Con Man.' One can admire Guralnick's thoroughness and sense of mission while also wishing for tighter results. I found the arc of Parker's story quite intriguing, even as I got a little tired of it.

Elon Musk Shares Shockingly Sexist Tweet About Woman Being Property
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has a message for the women of the world that's disgraceful even by his dumpster-tier standards: that they're designed to be captured or bartered as property. In a bizarre exchange on X-formerly-Twitter, Musk replied to a post by Morgonn McMichael, an anti-LGBTQ influencer with ties to far-right groups. "Why do liberal white women hate white people so much?" McMichael asked, gaining over millions of impressions that can lead to huge payouts thanks to Musk's new policies. "They've been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media," the world's richest man drooled in response. It's the kind of hard-hitting insight Musk has come to be known for since he took over the platform back in October of 2022. But a response to Musk's brilliant missive — and the tech tycoon's response — is what really raised eyebrows. "Women are built to be traded to another tribe (or captured) and slide seamlessly into their new culture," wrote Dr. Insensitive Jerk, an anonymous account known for spouting eugenicist, anti-democracy, and racist takes on X. "20 years after they are captured, they are the matriarchs who enforce that culture. That is why women conform to the dominant culture, and thereby amplify that culture," the poster continues. "They think that keeps them safe, and they are correct, but only in the sort term. In the long term, they will be forced to remember they are white." "Better they are reminded of that by white men, because the alternative is not so gentle," Dr. Insensitive concluded. Musk, never one to shy away from reactionary drivel, reposted the vile screed, boosting it to his 223 million followers. It'd be a shocking outburst at any moment, but feels particularly striking given the renewed attention on the relationship between Musk and other elites and the disgraced sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. Of course, his moves drew some criticism — as well as plenty of support on X, which under Musk's ownership has rapidly become a safe space for pretty much every genre of reprehensible hate speech under the Sun. "Retweeted by the man who has been divorced three times, pretty sure you're not the tribe," quipped on user. However prominently their half-baked ideas appear on his platform, the tech mogul and his fellow travelers might benefit from a history lesson. For decades, scholars studying the historical development of women in society have broadly agreed that gender roles are determined by social, economic, and historical conditions; women aren't "built to be traded" any more than men are built to be chattel slaves. Going back centuries, in fact, scholars have found that primitive peoples customarily practiced marriage not for personal gain, but for the collective benefit of the tribe. It wasn't until the early days of class-based society — where social standing is decided by wealth, income, and occupation — that men began to view women as inferior, leading to the kind of violence that Musk seems to regard as a fact of life. Indeed, it's no coincidence: both slavery and sex trafficking emerged at the same moment in history, a fact Musk and his reactionary followers would do well to wrap their heads around.
