Fridays are awesome.

Shakespeare couldn't have said that any better on Carla's news for CNN.

10.

We're grateful to have the wrapping up the week with us.

We start with a milestone for the music this'll year.

There Bennett least 681 cases of the disease stretched across 22 U.

S states.

That's the highest number on record since the measles was declared eliminated from the U.

S.

In the year 2000.

Being eliminated doesn't mean it's completely gone.

It means the country went more than 12 months without people continuously catching the disease.

The U.

S Centers for Disease Control says the current outbreaks are linked to people who've traveled to other countries and brought the measles back with them.

No one has died in the outbreaks.

Most of the Children who've been infected were not fully vaccinated against the measles, though some were and caught it anyway.

The vaccine offered in America isn't just for the measles.

It's called.

Mm are standing for measles, mumps and rubella, the three diseases it aims to prevent.

Doctors recommend two doses of this vaccine in early childhood, the CDC says There's a remote chance that the MMR vaccine can cause side effects and even serious injuries, which is why some parents are holding off on getting it for their Children.

But experts say the benefits of the vaccine outweigh its risks.

Measles is highly contagious.

Symptoms include high fevers, coughing into skin rash.

12th trivia.

Which of these U.

S Cities was founded in 16 25 New Amsterdam, ST Augustine, Savannah or Jamestown?

What's now in New York City was originally founded by 17th century Dutch settlers.

Hence the name New Amsterdam.

In the late 17th century, what had become the city of New York had an estimated population of less than 8000 people.

Today that populations more than eight million.

It's the most populated city in America.

But that's not its only change.

The island of Manhattan has grown vertically, of course, with skyscrapers, but outwardly as well as dirt and the garbage generated by all those people was used to expand the area they could live on.

Today we're joining a local architecture critic for a tour of New York City's ever changing waterfront.

We generally think of New York is having five boroughs, Manhattan Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.

But there's really a six, and it's the largest, which is the water that connects the other five.

So the first appear in New York started right here, standing here.

You don't really feel like you're in a maritime city.

You don't feel like you're close to the water.

But in New Amsterdam days, this was really the edge of Manhattan and everything from here to what is now.

The river is landfill is really the most profitable kind of recycling.

You take garbage, put in the water and turn it into real estate.

One of the best places to get a sense of how the city has changed and the waterfront has changed is right here.

Pierre, 15.

It's a wonderful example of the way a relatively small, relatively modest design intervention can create a space people really didn't know about.

So this is Soissons landing.

This is the entry point to Governors Island.

If you take the ferry from Manhattan, it's just a five minute ferry ride.

Everybody disembarked here and then finds their ways to different points on the island.

There's a map which shows you the two parts of the island original Governors Island, which was where the Dutch first settled.

And then all of this is landfill.

I'm here in Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is a wonderful place to tell the story of New York's tempestuous love affair with the water and the water.

And right where we're standing here was just a doily polluted shoreline isolated behind chain link fences.

If you really couldn't access, it was really kind of an abandoned area of the city.

Now, thanks to 20 years of landscaping of reclamation, this park is now full of people.

It's a destination part, not just a neighborhood park.

To me, this story of New York re embracing its waterfront is very optimistic.

One.

It's not just about the waterfront.

It's really about the idea of seeing some of the hardest hit areas of the city, some of the weaknesses and finding the imagination and the long term commitment to build something new.

Picking back up today on our positive athlete.

Siri's and features people like Aiden Westwick, volleyball player in California.

He's helping his community cleanup from the very mudslide that destroyed his home and every possession he had in it.

If you know someone like Aiden.

You can nominate him or her at CNN dot com slash positive athlete James Cayne Westwick.

I'm a junior and stand behind that Playboy ball.

About a year ago, I lost balance.

I was renting in the mud slides.

These borders here are just remains of the actual mudslides that came from pretty much everywhere.

And these, I guess we're rushing all around our house that woke up once to the house.

Just shaking your get out of here.

Yeah.

You know, probably one of the scariest things I've ever witnessed.

I'm pretty lucky actually made it out.

This was my room, which God's totally wiped out this night.

But this is an exaggeration.

You were homeless.

Yeah, I think MI lived in 10 different houses ever since Until we finally settled tragedy hop sins.

And then all of sudden, he goes, Oh, I'm gonna go help out the community and help with the bucket brigade.

I mean, that is just astounding.

You know, it kind of gives me goose bumps.

Now get across it right back up.

So what the bucket Brigade does is we're pretty much just restoring the trails that were almost completely destroyed.

after the mud sides and just making them accessible for people to use again.

You could see on the trees the mudslide was like 15 p high.

You could see the mark of the mud and we put the Russians went in there and try to clear it all out.

Correctional.

Use this.

I lost well, for one.

Just my school backpack on my textbooks.

I mean everything in my room, all my clothes, my bad.

I mean, even just stuff that I like to use, like my camera sports like volleyballs, sports equipment.

It's a little challenging, but it's pretty rewarding just because I feel like I'm helping the community after all the help that they gave me.

Part of Lincoln, California Thousands of sheep are typically brought in to chew up grassland before fire season begins.

But when a neighboring resident opened his backyard gate to let his kids get a huge mistake, the sheep came are running in now.

There are worse things that having a yard full of ruminants, they're really only threatening the grass.

But there were many of them, and for a while they weren't going anywhere.

Finally, when Scott Russo assumed the role of Shepherd and lead them back through the gate While his wife jumped on the trampoline and shook a Tam Marine.

The sheep retreated.

Of course.

The gate is now in cheap shape, and the shepherd broke a sweater to make them evacuate.

It was like a floodgate to a bad Bova date.

They went fleeting, all while bleeding in a pretty sheep for state is the grass greener where we guess it all depends when a woolly stubborn flocks flocks to a residence.

What a way to end a week, What it need to mend a fence?

We're dropping six bleats on CNN.

Dent of car.

Was it okay?
