9 Year Old Girl Saves Mom From Attacker Earns Police Award She Hit Him Pretty Hard

Surveillance footage obtained by WPTV, a south Florida station, showed Journee Nelson and her mother Danielle Mobley loading groceries into her car at a West Palm Beach supermarket on November 2 when 29-year-old Demetrius Jackson ran up and attacked Mobley. He appeared to knock her to the ground, where a struggle for the purse ensued, as seen in the video. But the young girl ran out of the car’s passenger seat and fought back, punching him several times....

9 Year Old Massachusetts Girl Repeatedly Kicks Pit Bull To Save Family Dog

Nicolina Pasquale was walking her great uncle’s pet near her home in Worcester, Massachusetts, when the incident occurred. At one point during the walk, the pit bull approached Pasquale and the family dog—an eight-year-old Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu mix called Peaches. “We were like right there, in front of the hills, I told the dog to come,” Pasquale told Spectrum News 1. “And then she wasn’t moving. So I looked back and saw a pit bull charging....

A B C Not As Easy As 1 2 3 Mourinho Muddles Alphabet Metaphor

Admittedly not speaking his native tongue, Mourinho stumbled over his words – or letters, rather – when attempting to use a metaphor to praise his team’s attitude after Sunday’s 3-1 win over Middlesbrough. The victory ended a week in which United played three times, suffering elimination from the FA Cup but progressing to the Europa League quarter-finals. Allegri: Dybala injury not serious And Mourinho, having made sweeping changes to his starting XI, may have gotten carried away with an elaborate attempt to display his pleasure at the result, seemingly forgetting the order of the alphabet....

A Bachelor Recap Spinoff Is Coming To Replay The Franchise S Most Dramatic Moments Ever

A Sterling Need For Reverse Morals Clauses In Sports Contracts

Or as Donald Sterling would clarify, it was a “lovers’ quarrel” illegally recorded and disclosed to the media. In the aftermath of the infamous recording, Sterling, then-owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, wore a virtual scarlet “R.” He became an overnight pariah on the Internet, and his likeability ratings, according to a May 2014 ESPN poll, fell below alleged murder Aaron Hernandez and formerly convicted felon Michael Vick. His racist remarks were scorned publicly by the President of the United States....

A Thing About Updike Stalking A Literary Lion

Certainly Baker takes more chances. His much-praised first novel “The Mezzanine” (1988) was a microscopically digressive account of buying shoelaces; “Room Temperature” (1990) was about feeding a baby. “I have an almost self-destructive desire to be original,” he says; with “U and I” he’s gotten away with it again. This booklength essay pitilessly records its author’s twinges of envy and mines his own inner life to examine the psychological minutiae of reading, writing and remembering....

A Bad Case Of Cruise Sickness

But the industry’s response to the attacks went well beyond boosting security measures. Cruises were soon available at more “drive-up” domestic ports–from Galveston, Texas, to Portland, Maine–so travelers who wanted to avoid flying could drive directly to the cruise ship. Cruise-line operators also began offering deep discounts while maintaining–or even increasing–their commissions to travel agents who booked passengers onto their lines. The work paid off. Record numbers of Americans booked cruises during the past year and cruise companies are reporting strong earnings, in spite of the sluggish U....

A Bishop In The Dock

The church has sent conflicting messages. No one doubts that many gays and lesbians, attracted by the church’s “gilt without guilt” atmosphere, have joined the Episcopal clergy. Integrity, the church’s gay and lesbian caucus, estimates that anywhere from 10 to 40 percent of Episcopal deacons, priests and bishops are homosexual. In urban areas like San Francisco and Chicago, gay clerics are believed by many congregants to outnumber the heterosexuals. In 1994 homosexual couples won the right – with their bishop’s approval – to live together in housing provided by General Theological Seminary in New York....

A Blast From The Bench

He didn’t succeed. For anyone sitting in the courtroom during the epic antitrust trial, Judge Jackson’s denunciation of the company last week should come as no surprise. From the outset of the trial in October 1998, the U.S. District Court judge was often perturbed at the software giant–and frequently failed to conceal his scorn. There was the eye rolling at Bill Gates’s evasive videotaped testimony. There were the incredulous head shakes as Microsoft executives tried to disavow incriminating e-mails....

A Bloody End For An Anti Drug Crusader

It was a coldblooded hit. According to eyewitnesses, the killer was a man in his 20s who came into the Meson Asturias in Jackson Heights, checked that de Dios was there and left. A few minutes later he returned, hooded, and pumped two bullets into de Dios’s head. Police didn’t know who ordered the execution but were focusing on a drug connection. The 48-year-old, Cuban-born de Dios had repeatedly attacked the narcotraficantes....

A Brush With Terror

Tipped off by one of the suspects’ friends, a heavily armed police SWAT team descended on their dingy Brooklyn apartment before dawn and caught Abu Maizar and 22-year-old Lafi Khalil sleeping. Both were shot and wounded when, according to police, they tried to trigger the bombs. One bomb was a nine-inch pipe packed with gunpowder, nails and 9mm bullets. The other was a four-pipe monstrosity that would have killed everyone within 25 feet if detonated in an enclosed space like a subway car....

Mountaineering has always appealed to the sort of hard-chargers who’d make good CEOs – and to folks with money in their pockets and time on their hands. And lately, with standard routes like Everest’s Southeast Ridge well established, dilettantes with a climbing wall at the health club and $65,000 or so to spend on fun (not including the round-trip air fare to Katmandu) are lining up for a crack at the world’s highest peaks on paid expeditions....

A Challenge To Change

As I write the speech, I can’t help reflecting on that week 35 years ago. My admission and enrollment at Ole Miss caused a riot. It resulted in President Kennedy’s sending federal troops to the university for the second time in history. It was dangerous, and most of my friends told me, ““Don’t do it.’’ But by challenging the system, I opened doors for generations to come. I made history....

A Chance For Charles

By the same token, it would be an act of cruelty now to turn on their father, the Prince of Wales. An attack on him is, in effect, an attack on his two sons. How are the princes to feel when the father they love and the only parent they have is judged as lacking in one or another of the posthumous virtues of their dead mother? And that, implicitly, to love him is to betray her?...

Still, the effort boasts the support of some of the nation’s leading newspaper executives. James Batten, chairman of Knight-Ridder, Inc., recently told members of the Newspaper Association of America’s diversity committee, which he also chairs, that promoting diversity was one of NAA’s “absolute top priorities.” And as the group attempted earlier this month to assess its work, Batten observed that, despite all the sniping, progress had been made. just under one quarter of all entry-level professionals hired over the last year, he noted, were members of minority groups–the highest proportion that the annual employment survey of the American Society of Newspaper Editors has thus far recorded....

Its hub is the Moxi Media Center, a dull silver slab resembling a DVD player with some extra buttons. Its primary function is a replacement for the satellite-TV receiver or cable set-top box that now streams into what is still the 800-pound gorilla of diversions, the television set....
