USA needs to win today to not only play the next round, but also avoid a tougher team that emerges from Group H as their victor.

It may be Belgium, but Algeria, Russia or South Korea are all still in the race for this potential second seed.

Please, make sure you support our team and take a moment this afternoon to watch the game on TV in English on cable channel ESPN, or in Spanish on broadcast channel Univision.

The US Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that a police officer can not search the cell phones of criminal suspects upon arrest without first obtaining a search warrant.

The 9-0 vote ruled that smart phones and other electronic devices were not in the same category as wallets, briefcases, and vehicles, which are currently subject to limited initial examination by law enforcement.

Generally such searches are permitted if there is probable cause that a crime may have been committed, to ensure officers' safety and prevent destruction of evidence.

Many Trust Local News

According to GfK reserachers, who've completed a study for Hearst, TV viewers trust local news more than other media platforms, which makes local stations a favorable platform for advertisers.

Along with trust, local news stations have a high level of viewer engagement, which leads viewers to research and purchase products they see advertised during newscasts. Research finds local news is the most trusted platform across all demographics: total respondents, adults 24-54, adults 35-64 and adults 55+

US Representative Charles Rangel has once again shown those non believers, this time including Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, by winning renomination in yesterday's Democratic Primary in New York's 13th Congressional District.

Rangel won 47.4 percent of the vote, over his top opponent Adriano Espaillat, who won 43.6 percent. Espaillat was being supported by Diaz, but the voters saw through the political smoke screen and cleared the air inside the polls.

A Reflection of a Crisis in Journalism

El Diario La Prensa: A Reflection of a Crisis in Journalism

By Sandra Rodríguez-Cotto | @SRCSandra

A Spanish version appears in the June 24, 2014 edition of El Vocero in Puerto Rico:

At 14, I discovered the two greatest loves in my life: my first boyfriend and journalism. That first boyfriend introduced me to his uncle, who, by then, was one of the most experienced and serious journalists I have met, the editor-in-chief at El Diario La Prensa in New York City, Manuel De Dios Unanue.
