Reporter the news didnt appear to effect the game. The team still needs to win one more game in order to move on to the second round of the nba playoff series, a position its reached only twice in the past 30 years. After a tumultuous week off the court, focusing on winning games is far more of a familiar challenge to the teams players and coach.

But legal experts warn thats just the beginning. Usc law professor Michael Chasalow expects sterling will go to court to fight any effort to take away his team. He says that battle could take months or even years, especially since the team isnt technically owned by sterling alone. My understanding is its held in a family trust. He might try to transfer the team to the family trust and say im not the owner anymore, my family is. Reporter sterling has been largely silent about his intentions, so far telling only one reporter the team is not for sale. Carter evans, los angeles.

Joe homyack said his town is used to floodwaters, just not like this. It was real fast and the storm held its own for a long period of time. But the bright spot for homyack, the latest forecast. It said the rain would stop and skies would clear, which was right thankfully. Reporter the river that you saw behind me it normally runs at about five feet and this morning it is running at a solid 20. So theres still a lot of water left to go. Thanks.

The goal is to limit how government and businesses use information they collect from us. Major garrett is at the white house. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. This grew out of public concern and some of the political heat the white house encountered after disclosures about government antiterrorism surveillance, the collection and mining of that data from phone and email. We are told the president was shocked to discover the private Companies Use the same Data Collection techniques to discover future Consumer Buying Habits as the government does when it tries to develop leads in counterterrorism cases. This report also found the potential for discrimination against individuals based on the professional files that emerge from studies of their computer buying and computer browsing habits. This task force recommended several changes, one of them a new law that outlines Consumer Protection on collection and storage of their private data requirements for companies to report large data breaches and antidiscrimination protections to guard against the socalled data profiling. Now, largely Silicon Valley was silent yesterday refusing to comment, but in meetings here at the white house, many of these private tech firms have first sought to protect their bottom of line from the perception that theyre working with the government on surveillance. So negotiations over that and new Consumer Protections have just begun. Thanks. An annual may day march in seattle turned violent. Move at least nine people were arrested last night.

Good morning. Reporter good morning. Its estimated two dozen girls were kidnapped. Parents, so frustrated with what they say is a lack of Government Action that theyve mounted their own search and rescue operations in the dense forest there, but its extremely difficult to get reliable information. Even the local officials ive spoken to are too scared to go there. This is what we do know well over 200 girls with kidnapped in the dead of night by heavily armed gunmen on the 14th of april. They were taken from the boarding school in chibock, which was burned to the ground. The girls are between 15 and 18 years old. The identity of the attackers have not been definitively established. But its believed theyre members of an extreme islamist militant organization. The frantic parents of these young girls have taken to the streets in protest, accusing the Nigerian Military with providing them with no assistance. These demonstrations have spread out across the country, including the capital. We are so frustrated at the fact that 234 children who get missing and theres absolutely no coherent explanation as to exactly the search and rescue operation thats going on on finding them. Reporter as nigerians vent their frustration on the streets of nigeria the issue was discussed with a senior delegation last night. Chillingly, these abductions may not be the worst part of the story. Now unconfirmed reports say the girls have been taken across the borders and sold into marriage with local militants. Thank you. Some of the most prestigious colleges are among dozens under scrutiny. The department of education named 55 schools under federal investigation for their handling of Sexual Assault claims including harvard, uc berkseley ohio state and florida state. Rikki klieman is here. Good morning. Good morning. How significant is this and why now . I think its highly significant. And why now, i think whats finally happened is the u. S. Government has said enough is enough. Weve heard it with the drum beat about Sexual Assaults in the military its been a constant headline and now the same thing is happening on college cap pusmpuses one in five women sexually assaulted, one in 16 men sexually assaulted. Its a culture. Activists have said to the government enough is enough. Youve got to look in here and you have a tool. The department of education gives federal funding. You have a tool to make colleges accountable. And these are prestigious institutions. Theyre prestigious, they are large, they are small. The question may be in the transparency of finally giving forth this list of the 55 because no one knows who these colleges are, usually we find out about them after a Sexual Assault claim has been resolved. But whats happened now is that maybe you think if you want to send your kids to school well this is not a good place. Its still a presumption of innocence. These are just looking to see if these schools are in compliance. This is unprecedented. It will be interesting to see as the Justice Department pursues perhaps charges against universities. I think its possible but ultimately what were really looking at here is lets show the public that we are involved. Rikki, thank you so much. And it is 7 19.
