norovirus outbreaks in South Korea

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Officials at the 2018 Winter Olympics are scrambling to contain the outbreak of a vomit-inducing, diarrhea-causing, extremely contagious stomach bug known as norovirus.

As of Thursday night, there were 128 confirmed cases of the norovirus in South Korea, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's a significant increase from the initial 32 cases reported earlier this week.

The bug began Sunday amongst a group of security guards staying at the youth training center in Pyeongchang. Nervous organizers have since quarantined at least 1,200 Olympics staffers as a precaution. And South Korean officials deployed roughly 900 military personnel to help with the security shortage.

So far, no athletes have beeninfected. But officials are on high alert, as some of the security workers showing symptoms reportedly worked at the athletes' villages.

In light of the norovirus, here's what you need to know.
What is the norovirus?
The norovirus is also referred to as the "winter vomiting bug," Lee-Ann Jaykus, the scientific director for NoroCORE, a food safety initiative that's funded through a $25 million grant from the USDA, told Fox News.

And it's common: roughly 21 million Americans get the virus each year, according to the CDC.

The norovirus is consumed through the mouth, reaches a person's gastrointestinal tract and inflames the stomach or intestines, or both. As a result, the virus causes nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea, which leads to dehydration. It can also cause fever, headaches and body aches.

While the symptoms can be severe, most people recover within days.
How does it spread?
The norovirus, which has different strains, can spread easily -- especially in close spaces, Jaykus said.

A common way the virus is transmitted is through close contact with an infected person. This is either directly or indirectly; such as sharing a bathroom, a dorm room or another communal space. Cruise ships, schools and nursing homes "are the most commonly reported settings for norovirus outbreaks," the CDC says.

More specifically, however, the virus spreads through fecal matter and vomit.

When an infected person vomits or defecates, "massive amounts [of the virus] are excreted," Jaykus explained. "There are millions to billions of particles in one just one gram."

"It only takes a few virus particles to make people sick," she added.

The virus also spreads through food and contaminated water.

Food handlers who are sick and don't practice adequate hygiene can easily infect other people. Infected water can also spread the illness, though this more commonly occurs in developing countries, Jaykus noted.
How do you prevent it?
Unlike the flu and other illnesses, there is no vaccine to prevent norovirus.

"Hand washing is hugely important. In fact, it's the single most important thing for people attending Olympics."
- Lee-Ann Jaykus

Keeping your hands washed and thoroughly cleaningcontaminated surfaces is key to prevent the spread of infection.

"Hand washing is hugely important," Jaykus said. "In fact, it's the single most important thing for people attending Olympics," she said.

The norovirus is extremely hard to kill, Jaykus warned. Inactivating the virus requires a high concentration of bleach. And while it's easy enough to clean countertops and other similar surfaces with bleach, the same can't be said for carpet and furniture. Alcohol isn't strong enough to entirely kill the virus either, Jaykus added.

"The norovirus can be spread for weeks," said Jaykus, who added that quarantining infected people can also be useful in preventing the spread of norovirus.
How did the norovirus spread at the Winter Olympics?
The short answer: no one is sure.

Health officials in South Korea said that a preliminary five-day survey of water for cooking and drinking has come up negative for norovirus. Restaurants and all food facilities linked to the Olympics will also be inspected.

"This is really scary for the athletes -- if you have norovirus you really are incapacitated," said Jaykus, though no athletes have reported having symptoms of the virus.

LAPD officers arrest a driver after finding burritos in his car. Except these burritos had some very different ingredients.

They were stuffed with meth!

To the un-trained eye they look like regular burritos.

But these 14 tightly wrapped foil packages were filled with methamphetamine.

Officers found them during a routine traffic stop on Saturday in Angelino Heights.

They also confiscated a handgun and quite a bit of cash.

The driver, who was not identified, was arrested on suspicion of transportation of narcotics.

Forty-three other states and the District of Columbia have legislation that offers at least some protection to prevent rape victims from facing their attackers over parental rights; eight of those laws were just adopted in 2016

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Rape Survivor Family Protection Act unanimously passed both chambers of the state's general assembly last week. It allows a victim to ask a court to terminate a rapist's parental rights, even if the attacker hasn't been convicted of the crime, as long as there's "clear and convincing evidence" of guilt.

Gov. Larry Hogan indicated he would sign the bill in his state of the state address.

"No rapist should be allowed to maintain parental rights and no victim should be forced to interact with her attacker," Hogan said during the address last week. "I commend you for finally passing the Rape Survivor Family Protection Act, and I will sign it into law the moment it reaches my desk."

State lawmaker Kathleen M. Dumais has fought for this legislation to be passed since 2007.

"It's been such a long, hard-fought battle," Dumais told the Baltimore Sun. "It's time to just do it. ... Let's get it on the books."

"It's going to be an amazing thing to see that our clients get through these cases, and we'll be able to do something to help," said Lisa Jordon, director of the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault.

Until the bill's passage, Maryland was one of only a handful of states that still allow rapists to have parental rights. The others are New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota, Mississippi and Alabama. Mississippi currently has a bill being considered that if passed would make it possible to take away those rights.

A problematic barrier

Forty-three other states and the District of Columbia have legislation that offers at least some protection to prevent rape victims from facing their attackers over parental rights; eight of those laws were just adopted in 2016.

But these legislative protections vary greatly. In 20 states and D.C., a rape conviction is required before a victim can request termination of parental rights.

For advocates, this is a problematic barrier, since the majority of sexual assaults don't even make it to prosecution, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Between 2005 and 2010, just 36% of the nearly 300,000 annual average rape or sexual assault victimizations were reported to police, the bureau reports. Even when you look at both reported and unreported rapes during that time period, roughly 12% of victimizations resulted in arrests.

That means in nearly half the states that have legislation meant to prevent rapists from claiming parental rights, a victim is still vulnerable to having to face her attacker if there wasn't a conviction in her case -- and that's if she reported it and if it was prosecuted.

CNN's Gabriela Milan, Mercedes Leguizamon, Breeanna Hare and Lisa Rose contributed to this report.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Four metro girls have become some of the first in the country to join the Boy Scouts of America.

The organization celebrated its 108th anniversary Thursday. This year, the celebration included a historic change. Girls are now able to join the Cub Scouts.

Den Leader Jody Vanwey said this is the first time in the organization's history that girls could ever join the organization.

"There is nothing in any of the rank books that is male specific," she said. "All of the values that we try to instill in our little boys -- that parents want for their sons like being trustworthy and loyal -- now parents can get the same things for the daughters."

Tracy Wicks watched her two sons go through the Boy Scout. She said she was thrilled to see her daughter sharing the same uniform.

"I just want her to have the opportunity to do the different things she saw her older brothers doing," Wicks said.

Currently, girls can enroll in the Cub Scouts, which is for first through fifth grades. Future plans for girls to enroll in the Boy Scouts will not happen until 2019.

Apple may offer rebate to customers who bought full-price batteries

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Apple may take another step to address the backlash over its decision to slow down older iPhones.

Apple told a U.S. senator it is "exploring" whether to offer a rebate to customers who paid full-price for a battery replacement, according to a letter released Tuesday.

The tech company apologized to customers in December for using a software update to slow the performance of older iPhone models. It also dropped the price of replacement batteries for the iPhone 6 and later models from $79 to $29.

Senator John Thune, the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, previously sent a letter to Apple with several followup questions, including whether customers who purchased batteries at full-price might be compensated.

"Apple has acknowledged that its initial disclosures came up short," Thune said in a statement Tuesday. "Apple has also promised the committee some follow-up information, including an answer about additional steps it may take to address customers who purchased a new battery at full price."

Apple has said the goal of the slowdown was to "smooth out" peak power demands and prevent older iPhones from sudden shutdowns as their lithium-ion batteries degrade. But it resulted in disappointing performance for users.

Related: Apple apologizes for slowing iPhone, drops battery prices

The original disclosure set off a backlash among consumer groups and government authorities around the world. U.S. regulators have also begun probing Apple for information on the slowdown.

"While our intention has been to give our customers the best products and the best experiences, we have apologized to our customers and, as described here, have taken a number of steps to address the complaints," Cynthia Hogan, Apple's VP of public policy, wrote in the letter released Tuesday.

Hogan said Apple is "seeing strong demand" for the discounted battery replacements so far.

A decision to offer a rebate to customers could help offset some customer outrage, but it might also add to investor jitters about the cost of Apple's strategy for defusing the bad PR.

On a conference call with analysts last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked whether investors should worry about discounted battery replacements cutting into the number of customers who feel the need to upgrade their iPhones.

"We did not consider in any way, shape, or form, what it would do to upgrade rates. We did it because we thought it was the right thing to do for our customers," Cook said on the call. "Sitting here today, I don't know what effect it will have."

After temporary shutdown, Congress passes two-year deal

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
WASHINGTON - The House and the Senate are expected to vote Thursday on a long-term spending deal, hoping to end the repeated drama of short-term funding bills that have occupied Congress for much of the past five months.

The measure, which was hammered out between the Republican and Democratic Senate leaders, is expected to pass the Senate, but it faces some stiff opposition from members of both parties in the House.

Both chambers have until midnight tonight to act before government funding stops. If it passes, the two-year spending deal completes months of haggling between the two parties on a variety of issues that have resulted in five incremental spending bills and a three-day government shutdown.

Budget writers worked almost around the clock this week to reach a deal that was finalized just after 11:00 p.m. Wednesday.

It would increase domestic spending by $131 billion and defense spending by $165 billion over the next two years, provide nearly $90 billion in disaster aid and extend the debt limit for one year - until well after the midterm elections.

Republicans are praising the increase in military spending while Democrats are hailing an increase in domestic, a tonic that might be enough, along with the desire to avoid a second government shutdown in one month, to garner enough votes.

The addition of disaster relief brought Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who often votes against spending bills, on board.

"This latest disaster relief bill is the next step in our State's road to recovery," Cruz said in a statement. "And I am gratified that (Sen.) John Cornyn, (R-Texas,) and I have been able to build upon and improve the bill that was sent to us by the House of Representatives to give the state of Texas the resources it desperately needs."

What the measure doesn't address is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. The Senate will take up the issue next week.

But the issue's absence is reason for Democrats in the House, including Leader Nancy Pelosi to oppose the measure. She spoke for more than eight hours on the House floor Wednesday in support of Dreamers, immigrants brought to the U.S. by their parents as children.

But notably, and perhaps a good sign for the prospects of the legislation, Pelosi said she would not implore her caucus to vote against it.

"I am just telling people why I am voting the way I am voting," Pelosi said at a news conference Thursday morning.

Conservative Republicans are also in opposition because of the major increases to domestic spending.

Logger who fell into sinkhole recounts long, cold ordeal and his rescue

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bill Burke wasn't sure he'd ever see the light of day again. He spent nearly 24 hours underground, after falling roughly 16 feet down a sinkhole Monday afternoon while working a logging job in a wooded area just outside Montesano.

"Next thing I know, one foot went down and then both my feet went down. And next thing I know, I'm up to my arms. And then all at once, all the sticks and everything that was holding me up broke, and down I went," says Bill.

He clawed away at the soil for hours.

"It was dark down there like you wouldn't believe," Bill said.

"I was gathering as much loose soil as I could to get this mound. My first thought, I get high enough and I made a couple of steps in the wall with my knife so that maybe I could climb up," says Bill.

An experienced logger, he always carries a whistle and he blew that whistle through the cold night.

Fortunately, Bill's logging buddy, Jimmy Stennett, a former firefighter, had agreed to help him on the job the next morning.

"I'm waiting and his wife calls me at 6:17 and she says have you seen Bill? And I say no and she says, 'Well, he never called last night,'" says Jimmy.

Jimmy started searching the woods.

"I finally found the truck and I drove down there and I see his truck and I don't see anybody in the cab and the machine is parked behind it. And I get out fearing the worst," says Jimmy.

Jimmy says he drove back to an area with cell service, called Bill's wife, then called 911. He then went back to search for Bill, who had cleverly tossed a clue above ground.

"Over to my left I see his hard hat under some ferns and I reach down and picked it up. And when I picked it up I see a hole (in the ground) about this big on the other side and I look down and see movement and I said, Bill? And he looked up and said, 'Jimmy!'"

Rescue crews arrived on the scene and helped get Bill out of the sinkhole. Rescuers said he was cold, but not injured. And then Bill drove home.

"I had a sneaking hunch that if anybody was going figure this out, if Jimmy made it down there, he'd be the one. Jimmy's a hero to me. He's a super hero and I'm here.

"I guess you take coming home every night for granted," says Bill.

Both Jimmy and Bill said they could hear dogs barking in the area and are convinced that's what led Jimmy to Bill's location. The men say they have a bond that can never be broken.

Independence Mall schedule for a Feb. 16 foreclosure sale as owner, Simon Property Group, is unable to pay off 200M property loan.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Independence Center is scheduled for a Feb. 16 foreclosure sale as its owner, Simon Property Group, faces default on its $200 million loan for the property, according to information in a report by Trepp, a firm that researches commercial mortgage-backed securities.

The 1 million-square-foot enclosed mall at 18801 E. 39th St., which opened in 1974, showed signs of distress a year ago when Simon Property Group had signaled that it might not be able to pay the $200 million loan tied to the mall property. The loan was transferred to a special servicer - a firm that handles distressed loans - on May 21.

The size of the $200 million loan and increased competition for retail in and around Independence were cited as reasons for Simon Property Group's difficulty with Independence Center.

A spokesman for Simon Property Group did not return calls seeking comment. Executives with the firm did not discuss Independence Center during its quarterly earnings call with investors on Jan. 31.

Simon Property Group, a publicly traded real estate investment trust based based in Indianapolis, Ind., no longer lists Independence Center on its website portfolio of properties.

Trepp's report, which relayed information from Independence Center's special servicer, indicated that "there is a significant and/or imminent risk of a maturity default of the loan" and advertisements of a Feb. 16 trustee sale had been circulated. A sale to an interested buyer ahead of Feb. 16 could forestall a foreclosure sale.

Tom Lesnak, president and chief executive of the Independence Economic Development Council, said rumors of a sale have floated but nothing definitive has been discussed.

"We have been hearing rumblings that somebody was out there to acquire it," Lesnak said. "Honestly, Independence Center and Simon Property Group have been completely silent on everything so far."

Jackson County property records reveal no indication of a sale from Simon Property Group.

Lesnak said that Simon Property Group has invested and maintained the mall property and added an H&M clothing store last year.

Independence Center's troubles mirror the fortunes of enclosed malls nationally and locally. News of the potential foreclosure sale in Independence comes after Oak Park Mall in Overland Park learned last week that one of its main anchors, Nordstrom, would depart for the Country Club Plaza in 2021.

Independence Center and Oak Park Mall are two local survivors of a broader retail trend of the last 15 years that has not favored enclosed malls, the darlings of suburban retail development during the 1970s and 1980s.

Shuttered malls in the metro have often been long-term headaches for the cities where they occur. The Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kan., is still trying to figure out what to do with the former Indian Springs mall site. The Bannister Mall site in southeast Kansas City languished in dormancy for years before it was converted into a new office campus for Cerner.

Redevelopments of other dead malls, including Metcalf South in Overland Park, Metro North in the Northland and the Great Mall of the Great Plains in Olathe, have taken years to coordinate.

Remains of 6 people found connected to alleged serial killer.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
More charges are expected in the future for an alleged Toronto serial killer who police say hid the dismembered remains of several people in the bottom of large flower planters.

Last month, self-employed landscaper Bruce McArthur was charged with the deaths of five men, according to Toronto police. He was initially arrested and charged with two deaths on Jan. 18, but he was hit with three more charges later in the month, Meaghan Gray, spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service, told ABC News.

The excavation of a property on Mallory Crescent in Toronto, where police now say that a total of six sets of remains have been found in planters, will begin Friday, Gray said. Investigators believe that McArthur used the property as a storage facility, she said.

Facebook via Reuters

One set of remains has been identified as Andrew Kinsman, 49, one of the two men whose deaths McArthur was first charged with, along with 44-year-old Selim Esen, Gray said. Kinsman was reported missing last June, while Esen was reported missing months earlier, in April, according to police.

On Jan. 29, McArthur was additionally charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Majeed Kayhan, 58; Soroush Mahmudi, 50; and Dean Lisowick, 47, police said. Kayhan was reported missing in 2012, while Mahmudi was reported missing in 2015.

Lisowick was never reported missing, but police said he was likely killed between May 2016 and July 2017.

Toronto Police Service via Reuters

None of the other remains have been identified yet, Gray said, adding that they could be a combination of new victims and remains of some of the other four men McArthur is already charged with killing.

Investigators also looked into several other properties McArthur is "closely associated" to, Gray said. In addition to the property on Mallory Crescent, authorities are searching a property in Toronto's Thorncliffe Park neighborhood. Three other properties that McArthur allegedly serviced "have been released back to their homeowners," Gray said.

Other locations could be investigated as well, Gray said. Authorities have seized planters from other properties but have not yet discovered whether they contain any human remains.

More remains could be found at the Mallory Crescent property when investigators begin to dig with the assistance of a forensic anthropologist, Gray said.

At least one of the men McArthur is charged with killing went missing from Gay Village, a predominantly gay neighborhood, Toronto Police Sgt. Hank Idsinga said last month. But, Idsinga emphasized that the case "encompasses more than the gay community."

It "encompasses the city of Toronto," he said. "The city of Toronto has never seen anything like this."

Chris Donovan/Reuters

McArthur made a brief court appearance on Jan. 19 after his arrest and is currently being held in a Toronto jail. It is unclear when he will appear in court next, Gray said.

ABC News could not immediately reach an attorney for McArthur for comment.

Mother gives birth, abandons baby in airport bathroom with handwritten note: Authorities

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Authorities are looking for a mother who they believe abandoned her newborn baby at Tucson International Airport with a handwritten note pleading, "I just want what is best for him and it is not me."

The woman, seen on security footage carrying something wrapped in a blanket and walking with an awkward gait, may have given birth in an airport bathroom in Tucson, Arizona, before leaving the child on a changing table at a family changing room with a handwritten note, Los Angeles ABC station KABC reported.

Tucson Airport Authority via Storyful

The Tucson Airport Authority released footage this week of the woman walking through the airport when the baby was abandoned on Jan. 14, and are looking to find out who she is.

The note left with the child read, "Please help me. My mom had no idea she was pregnant. She is unable and unfit to take care of me. Please get me to the authorities so they can find a good home.

"I just want what is best for him and it's not me," the note adds.

Tucson Airport Authority via Storyful

Airport security received a 911 call from someone who discovered the baby at the changing table near baggage claim, according to KABC, and they immediately began investigating.

The child was in good condition, authorities said.

The Washington Post reported airport officials found bloody clothes in an airport bathroom they believe belong to the woman.

Florida jail hangs neon 'vacancy' sign

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Who says law enforcement officers don't have a sense of humor?

The Flagler County Jail in Florida has been known as the "Green Roof Inn." So the sheriff's office decided to make the nickname a little more official by installing three signs with the moniker.

One sign unveiled Thursday at the complex in Bunnell, Fla., uses classic neon lighting, with "GREEN ROOF INN" in green capital letters, and "VACANCY" flashing in red below, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

Below the neon sign is a list of "ACCOMMODATIONS," highlighting what "guests" of the jail can expect from their stay, including: No privacy, group bathrooms and showers, no meal selection, and free transportation to the courthouse or state prison.

"We have a one-star rating and we're working to lower that as I'm speaking," Staly says in a video promoting the "inn," WESH-TV reported.

For those who complete their "stay," another sign near the exit reminds them that the Green Roof Inn "always has a light on," the News-Journal reported.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said the signs are an effort to make people think twice before breaking the law.

"It is a warning to potential offenders that the jail is not a 5-star hotel," Staly told the paper. "When you get arrested, we provide the minimum accommodations as required by law. Once an offender checks in, they lose their basic freedoms. They don't decide what to eat, wear, or do with their day."

The jail, which can hold more than 400 inmates, held approximately 217 prisoners as of Thursday.

Cars that were in an abandoned parking garage for 15 years mysteriously go up in flames.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two cars that had been stuck inside of an abandoned automated parking garage for 15 years caught fire on Wednesday as construction crews worked to dismantle the building.

The facility went bankrupt in 2003 and hasn't operated since. It's in the process of being replaced by a new development.

The cars and six others were discovered in January when the façade of the building was removed. No one is exactly sure why they were still there or who they belong to, although one former garage employee thinks they may have been salvage cars brought in to test the parking system.

According to a witness in a nearby building, demolition crews were using a torch that sprayed sparks onto the vehicles and ignited them. Fortunately, the structure the cars are sitting on is made of metal so there was nowhere for the fire to spread.

The Sun reports that fire crews were on the scene for just over an hour and no one was injured by the blaze.

Unless someone tries to claim any of them, the new owners of the place said that all of the vehicles are now the property of the demolition company.
