15 banned from Pennsylvania casinos, gambling
Being placed on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits people from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or at a Video Gaming Terminal location.
The Board placed nine people on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List, including three adults who left minors unattended while gambling in a Pennsylvania casino:
A man left his 3-year-old child in a vehicle in the parking lot of Rivers Philadelphia Casino for 4 minutes to gamble at a sports wagering kiosk.
A man and woman left a 5-year-old child in a non-running vehicle for 50 minutes in the parking lot of Parx Casino when the outside temperature was 19 degrees, while they gambled at table games.
Four banned from Pennsylvania casinos after abandoning kids to gamble
The board says denying gambling privileges serves as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended, since it creates an unsafe environment for the children.
Six others were placed on the Board's Involuntary Interactive Gaming Exclusion list for fraudulent actions involving online gambling.

Law school grad has medical emergency and collapses during bar exam in New York
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A law school graduate collapsed while taking the bar exam in a New York City suburb this week, prompting an emergency response as other aspiring lawyers worked on their exams. But some Reddit users claiming they were among the test-takers Wednesday say they're upset the exam wasn't halted outright. Hofstra University spokesperson Terry Coniglio said Friday that the test-taker collapsed shortly before a scheduled lunch break at the Long Island campus. Hofstra Public Safety officers immediately provided life saving emergency care, including CPR and defibrillation, until paramedics arrived and transported them to a local hospital, she said. The New York State Board of Law Examiners, which administers the exam, said the medical emergency occurred 'only a few minutes' before the end of the exam's morning session and staff promptly contacted emergency responders. 'The exam concluded as our staff was obtaining medical aid for the candidate,' the Friday statement said. 'As soon as the exam ended the proctors collected the exams and the candidates were dismissed from the room so that EMTs could provide the needed medical care to the candidate.' The university and the state board wished the law candidate, who has not been named, a speedy recovery. The board said it is also continuing to review what happened, including which candidates may have been impacted, and 'will formulate an appropriate response in due course.'

Calls for road safety improvements along busy Brampton route
A CALL for road safety improvements along a busy residential Brampton road was made at a meeting this week. Members of Cumberland Council's highways and transport strategic board met at Allerdale House in Workington on Thursday (July 24) where Colin Lindsay, From Paving Brow in Brampton, was given the opportunity to speak. He said the road had become busier over the past 25 years, with the route used by HGVs, but pedestrians were forced to walk on the carriageway as there were no pavements or verges. Mr Lindsay said tests had shown the average speed by motorists using the road was 35 mph and there were a number of blind bends where accidents had occurred in the past – including one incident where a car went through a hedge. He added: 'Regretfully, from previous discussion with the police several years ago, they declined to send officers as the road was deemed to be too hazardous.' According to the report, which was discussed after the public participation part of the meeting, it was recommended that the board noted that the issue of speeding by traffic proceeding in a north-easterly direction on Paving Brow, Brampton, was being passed on to the police for enforcement. In addition, it was recommended that members agreed to investigations taking place into the feasibility of providing a smaller pedestrian warning sign suitable for mounting on a lighting column at the Paving Brow/Tarn Road junction end of Paving Brow and members agreed both recommendations. Mr Lindsay was told by a council officer that there were two collisions along the road in the last five years but it was unknown whether excess speed was a contributing factor. In a statement from councillor Mike Mitchelson (Brampton, Conservative), which was read out as he was unable to attend the meeting, he said that he supported the concerns over pedestrian safety and he would also support extra safety measures to be introduced. Councillor Roger Dobson (Corby and Hayton, Lib Dems) highway safety was the number one concern for one of the council's community panels and he would support the 20mph speed limit for the road which cllr Mitchelson was calling for. Councillor Barbara Cannon, (St Michaels, Labour) the financial planning and assets portfolio holder, wondered if other measures such as rumble strips could be installed? She was told that rumble strips could disturb patients being transported in ambulances to a nearby cottage hospital and Mr Lindsay suggested that, as well as the 20mph limit a priority lane system could be introduced.
