The Spanish government called two meetings for later Friday. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has pledged to take over the Catalan administration.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Spain dismissed Catalonia's president and Cabinet, and dissolved its Parliament on Friday hours after lawmakers in the autonomous region defied Madrid and voted to declare independence.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy called new elections and fired the Catalan police chief, as part of an unprecedented package of measures to seize control of the renegade administration in Barcelona.

He said the moves were needed to restore legality, after a political and constitutional crisis that has gripped the country for months.

"In this moment, we need to be serene and careful, but we also need to have confidence that the state has the tools, backed by the law and reason, [to] peacefully and reasonably go back to legality and take away threats to democracy," he said.

Rajoy spoke hours after the Catalan Parliament voted by 70 to 10 to "form the Catalan Republic as an independent and sovereign state."

The day's dramatic and fast-moving events pushed Spain into uncharted territory, testing the limits of the constitution drawn up after the restoration of democracy in the 1970s.

Dramatic scenes in Barcelona

The stage was set when separatists in the Catalan Parliament tabled a motion to declare independence from Spain, arguing that a disputed referendum on October 1 gave them a mandate to split from Madrid.

After a heated debate, opposition parties walked outof the 135-seat chamber before the vote, some leaving Catalan and Spanish flags on their empty seats.

Pro-independence crowds massed outside the Parliament cheered, jumped up and down, and waved flags, including the Catalan separatist "Estelada" flag, as the independence result was announced.

Less than an hour later, the Spanish Senate granted the Madrid government powers under Article 155 of the Constitution to sack the Catalan President Carles Puigdemont and his ministers.

Rajoy, who has pledged to quash the separatists, called a Cabinet meeting to agree on the measures he would take."Spain is a serious country, a great nation and we will not allow some people to blow up our Constitution," Rajoy told journalists in Madrid.

Urging Spanish citizens to remain calm, he announced that Puigdemont and his ministers would be dismissed, and new elections in Catalonia would be held on December 21.

The office of Spain's prosecutor general meanwhile confirmed it would file a lawsuit for rebellion against Puigdemont, the Catalan government and the members of the parliament board who voted in favor of independence.

It was unclear on Friday how the Spanish government would enforce the measures announced by Rajoy. A tough crackdown could risk a repeat of the violent scenes that played out in Catalonia on October 1, the day of the referendum.

But it seemed unlikely that members of the Catalan government who have fought so hard for independence for years would simply acquiesce to Spanish government forces. Another question was how the local Catalan police force would react if national forces were deployed to the streets of Barcelona.

Puigdemont: 'Stay strong'

Speaking in the Catalan Parliament building after the landmark vote, Puigdemont said legitimately elected lawmakers had cast their ballots according to a mandate earned in the October 1 referendum.

But he acknowledged that the path ahead would not be easy. "We are facing a period in which we will need to stay strong and in peace, dignified and civil as we have always been, and I'm sure we will keep being so," he said.

"The institutions and the people together built nations, societies, and a nation cannot be built without one of these elements."

Supporters followed his words with applause and repeated chants of "freedom, freedom."

International reaction

The European Union has backed Madrid in its handling of the crisis, which Rajoy has insisted is an internal matter.

For EU nothing changes. Spain remains our only interlocutor. I hope the Spanish government favours force of argument, not argument of force.
- Charles Michel (@eucopresident) October 27, 2017

Following the Catalan Parliament's vote, European Council President Donald Tusk tweeted: "For EU nothing changes. Spain remains our only interlocutor. I hope the Spanish government favours force of argument, not argument of force."

Puigdemont responded via Twitter: "Catalans always favour the force of arguments."

The UK and Germany, through government spokesmen, said they would not recognize Catalonia's independence declaration.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said his nation does not recognize the declaration of independence.

"France wishes Spain to be strong and united. It only maintains one partner, which is the Madrid government. The constitution of Spain must be respected," Le Drian said in a statement.

The United States also voiced its support for the Madrid government.

"Catalonia is an integral part of Spain, and the United States supports the Spanish government's constitutional measures to keep Spain strong and united," US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement.

How did we get here?

Several times during its history, Catalonia has found itself caught between the rivalries of France and Spain.

The region industrialized before the rest of Spain and had strong anarchist, socialist and communist movements that all fought against Gen. Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.

The current dispute goes back to that conflict. Franco repressed Catalonia's earlier limited autonomy, and in the early years of the dictatorship at least, expressions of Catalan language and culture. Four years after Franco's 1975 death, the region regained some of that autonomy.

In 2006, Madrid backed Catalonia's calls for even greater powers, granting it "nation" status and financial control. But four years later, the Constitutional Court rescinded that status, ruling that while Catalan is a "nationality," Catalonia itself is not a nation.

One of Spain's 17 autonomous provinces, Catalonia has had its own regional government with considerable powers over health care, education and tax collection. But it pays taxes to Madrid, and pro-independence politicians argue that complex mechanisms for redistributing tax revenue are unfair to wealthier areas, something that has helped stoke resentment.

Donald trump released 2,891 of the JFK assassination files to the public.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The highly-anticipated release of long-secret documents detailing the investigation into the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy have provided fresh fodder to fuel conspiracy theories surrounding the controversial death of the former commander in chief.

President Trump on Thursday released the trove of records, however, the collection was incomplete, with some records being held back. Trump cited "potentially irreversible harm" to national security if he were to allow all records to come out now. He placed the remaining files under a six-month review, but released 2,891 others, racing to honor a deadline mandating their release.

On Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas by, authorities contend, a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald.

But a segment of the public never bought into the official explanation of Kennedy's assassination, citing video clips, interviews and science experiments in an attempt to prove Oswald, who was himself assassinated two days after Kennedy, did not act alone.
JFK FILES: FROM 2ND SHOOTER TO MEXICO TRIP, TOP QUESTIONS ASSASSINATION DOCUMENTS COULD ANSWER
The files released Thursday show the aftermath of Kennedy's death included then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover venting his frustration about Oswald's killing at the hands of Jack Ruby, bellowing that the shooting would cause the public to suspect a conspiracy, NBC News reported.

"There is nothing further on the Oswald case except that he is dead," Hoover said. "The thing I am concerned about, and so is [deputy attorney general] Mr. Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin."

Hoover reported the FBI received a call from the Dallas office stating the caller was part of a cabal "organized to kill Oswald."

Hoover said he relayed that warning to Dallas police and was assured Oswald would be protected. However, Oswald was shot dead the next day by Jack Ruby.

"Oswald having been killed today after our warnings to the Dallas Police Department was inexcusable," Hoover said. "It will allow, I am afraid, a lot of civil rights people to raise a lot of hell because he was handcuffed and had no weapon. There are bound to be some elements of our society who will holler their heads off that his civil rights were violated - which they were."

Hoover suggested that "instead of a Presidential Commission, we can do it with a Justice Department report based on an FBI report."

Hoover's suggestion went nowhere. President Lyndon B. Johnson established the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination the following week.
JFK FILES: 'BIG NEWS' COMING, BRITISH REPORTER WAS TOLD BEFORE SHOTS FIRED
In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded Oswald and Ruby acted alone in their assasinations. No other blame was put on other organizations, actors or foreign governments.

Johnson was mentioned in the files as well. The Soviet Union believed Kennedy's vice president was behind the assassination, the New York Post reported. The Societs also feared they would be blamed for the slaying and attacked in retaliation.

In a Dec. 1, 1966 FBI memo, sources said the KGB, the world's largest "spy and state-security machine" claimed they had "possession of data purporting to indicate President Johnson was responsible for the assassination of the late President John F. Kennedy."

The memo, titled: "REACTION OF SOVIET AND COMMUNIST PARTY OFFICIALS TO JFK ASSASSINATION" was sent to Hoover.

"KGB headquarters indicated that in view of this information, it was necessary for the Soviet Government to know the existing personal relationship between President Johnson and the Kennedy family, particularly that between President Johnson and Robert and 'Ted' Kennedy," the document stated.

The Soviet Union also feared the U.S. would use the assassination to bolster "anti-Soviet sentiment and even lead to an attack."

Oswald lived in the Soviet Union for three years and married a woman from there. He reportedly had ties to the KGB while in America.

Johnson also believed in conspiracy theories himself, the New York Post reported. Richard Helms, the CIA director under Johnson, said the former president said he believed Kennedy was killed in retaliation for the assassination of South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem.

Diem was arrested and killed by a CIA-backed coup in Vietnam in 1963.

The files also showed that a British reporter with the Cambridge News received an anonymous phone call prior to the assassination, alerting the reporter to "some big news."

"The caller said only that the Cambridge News reporter should call the American Embassy in London for some big news and then hung up," reads the document from former CIA Deputy Director James Angleton.

The reporter, who was not identified in the Nov. 26, 1963, report, "never received a call of this kind before and MI5 said that he is known to them as a sound and loyal person with no security record." (MI5 is Britain's Security Service, similar to the CIA in the United States.)

After Kennedy's death, the reporter told Cambridge police about the call and they informed M15.

Despite the new details unleashed by the files, some felt the bath did not have the "smoking gun" many have urged for following the mysterious death. The full record will still be kept from the public for at least six months - and longer if agencies make a persuasive enough case for continued secrecy.

President Trump slammed liberal billionaire Tom Steyer on Friday as "wacky" and "totally unhinged," after the billionaire launched a multi-million dollar campaign calling for Trump's impeachment.

"Wacky & totally unhinged Tom Steyer, who has been fighting me and my Make America Great Again agenda from beginning, never wins elections!" Trump tweeted early Friday.

Steyer, a staunch environmentalist and Trump critic, launched a $10 million national campaign ad calling for the president's impeachment last week.

The one-minute ad calls Trump "mentally unstable [and] armed with nuclear weapons." It accuses the president of obstructing justice in his firing of former FBI Director James Comey, violating the Constitution, taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down press organizations.

"Like you, I'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something," Steyer said in the ad, sending viewers to the website NeedToImpeach.com.

An aide to Steyer told Forbes that the television ad buy would be accompanied by a multi-million dollar digital advertising campaign.

According to OpenSecrets.org, Steyer donated to Hillary Clinton; Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who has repeatedly called for Trump's impeachment; and Democratic candidates for Senate.

Congressional Democrats like Reps. Brad Sherman of California, Al Green of Texas and Waters also have called for the president's impeachment.

A 1-year-old girl who died in August was exposed to a powerful synthetic opioid that is typically used as a sedative for elephants. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office said Audrianna Cohen's accidental death was caused by the toxic effects of carfentanil, a substance 10,000 times more potent than morphine, TribLive.com reported.

The exact circumstances of her death are unclear, although the substance can be mixed with heroin and cocaine, or used as an illicit substance substitute, the news outlet reported.

Puerto Rico's power outages are the largest in US history.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In all, Hurricane Maria has caused a loss of 1.25 billion hours of electricity supply for Americans, according to the analysis from the economic research firm Rhodium Group. That makes it the largest blackout in US history, well ahead of Hurricane Georges in 1998 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, the group said.

That 1.25 billion number will continue to grow. More than a month after Hurricane Maria knocked out the electric grid on the islands, the vast majority of residents remain without electricity, and the restoration of that power is months away.

The Rhodium Group analysis largely relies on data on electricity loss provided to the Department of Energy, as well as news reports for storms prior to 2000, according to Trevor Houser, a partner at Rhodium who co-wrote the analysis with Peter Marsters.

Houser said the group analyzes the economic impacts of weather and climate events, and they decided to dig in more deeply on the impacts of Maria on the Puerto Rican economy.

"As we started looking at the scale of the blackout and try to put that in historical context, it became clear this was a record-breaking event and worthy of some attention and focus just from an electric standpoint," Houser said.

9 of top 10 are hurricane-related

Other major storms or incidents have knocked out power for more people, but those were for shorter periods of time.

For example, the 2003 blackouts in the Northeast US affected about 30 million people, but the power was restored within a few days. That incident caused the loss of 592 million customer-hours of electricity, according to Rhodium Group, making it the eighth-largest blackout in US history.

Puerto Rico has a smaller population -- about 3.4 million -- but the blackout has lasted for a much longer stretch of time. As of Thursday, just 26% of households had power restored, according to data from the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA).

PREPA, a state-owned utility, filed for bankruptcy in July, is $9 billion in debt and is struggling to recover from the hurricane outages. Not coincidentally, several of the top 10 blackouts in US history involve Puerto Rico, including Maria and Irma this year and Hurricane Georges in 1998.

Whitefish Energy, a two-year-old utility firm with ties to the Trump administration, was awarded a $300 million contract from PREPA last week to help restore the country's power grid. The huge contract to a small company has led to questions and criticism from Puerto Rican politicians.

The Virgin Islands, with a much smaller population, has similarly struggled to restore power since Hurricane Maria. As of October 22, just 14.9% of customers had power, according to the U.S. Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority. That includes about 71% without power on St. Thomas, 98.4% without power on St. Croix and 100% without power on St. John.

Aside from the 2003 blackout, all of the biggest blackouts in US history were due to hurricanes or major storms, including Hurricane Hugo in 1989, Hurricane Ike in 2008, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

This year's hurricane season has been particularly destructive. Hurricane Irma, the Category 5 storm that tore through the Caribbean before hitting Florida in early September, caused the loss of 753 million hours of electricity, making it the fourth-largest blackout in US history.

In general, most power outages are due to disruption in the power lines that deliver energy, rather than in energy generation, Houser said. Hurricanes, with their high sustained winds and wide geographic area, are particularly likely to knock out power for large numbers of people.

For millions of American kids, collecting candy on Halloween night is a thrilling event. Nevertheless, the festivities can be complicated, and disheartening, for trick-or-treaters with food allergies.

According to the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) organization, 5.9 million children under age 18, or 1 in 13 kids, suffer from food hypersensitivities. In response, FARE launched a campaign three years ago that lets homeowners easily signal the trick-or-treaters with food allergies, telling them it's safe to visit.

"It's clear that food allergies are a serious public health issue that we all must take seriously. The Teal Pumpkin Project provides an opportunity for all of us to show empathy for kids who often feel excluded," FARE's chief advancement officer Lois Witkop said in a statement.

"It's a terrific way for communities to come together and we would love to see at least one teal pumpkin on every block," she added.

Since its inception, the Teal Pumpkin Project has rocketed in popularity, with over 18,000 households from all 50 states participating in 2016, FARE said. Further, kids with medical conditions that limit their food options also benefit from the inclusive holiday fun.

One was CNN's Jake Tapper, and the apparently bemused @leegreenwood83 replied, "I get this a fair amount, but certainly not at this level."

Trump later deleted the tweet and a new one was posted, tagging the country artist.

Judge blocks Alabama laws restrictions about abortion access.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A federal judge has permanently blocked Alabama laws that tried to restrict abortion clinics near schools and to ban a common second-trimester procedure.

U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson issued a 148-page ruling Thursday saying the laws are unconstitutional. He's preventing the state from enforcing them.

The decision makes permanent a ruling issued by Thompson a year ago. The state already is appealing that decision.

A statement from the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama calls Thompson's decision a "great victory" for women.

Legislators passed the laws in 2016. They banned abortion clinics within 2,000 feet of K-8 public schools and barred the second-trimester procedure known as dilation and evacuation.

Thompson says the location restriction would force closure of two of the state's busiest abortion clinics in Huntsville and Tuscaloosa.

A biologic mechanism in yeast cells may explain the relationship between sugar and malignant tumors, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications.

The nine-year research project may even influence personal medicine and diets for cancer patients, the authors concluded. The study begins by looking closely at cancer cells' appetite for sugar.

Scientists understand that cancer cells support their rapid reproduction by rewiring their metabolisms to take glucose, ferment it and produce lactate.

Conversely, healthy cells continue with normal respiration, a process in which they take glucose and break it down into carbon dioxide and water.

This "switch of cancer cells from respiration to fermentation is something that was discovered by Otto Warburg, a German biochemist, about 70 or 80 years ago," said microbiologist Johan M. Thevelein, senior author of the study and a professor at KU Leuven in Belgium. It is known as " the Warburg effect."

Fermentation of sugar to lactic acid produces about 15 times less energy than respiration of sugar, Thevelein noted. Yet cancer cells "grow much more rapidly than normal cells, and yeast actually grows the fastest when they ferment," he noted.

"This is weird," he said, and it raises an important question: Is the Warburg effect a symptom of cancer -- or a cause of it?

Searching for the answer, Thevelein and his colleagues experimented with yeast cells since, just like cancer cells, they are known to favor fermentation over respiration.

The researchers found an intermediate compound that is a "potent activator" of the RAS protein. RAS is a proto-oncogene: a gene that codes for proteins that help to regulate cell growth and differentiation. Proto-oncogenes can become oncogenes or cancer-causing genes when mutations occur. Mutant forms of RAS proteins are present in many tumors, Thevelein said.

The new study, then, reveals "a vicious cycle," he said.

As sugar is broken down in cells, the intermediate compound activates the RAS proteins, and this in turn stimulates cell proliferation, he said.

This cycle seen in yeast cells might help explain the aggressiveness of cancer.

"Very interesting," said Dr. Jennifer Ligibel, chairwoman of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's energy balance committee. Still, she urges caution in interpreting these findings.

"It's important to not make too many jumps into a patient message based on a study of yeast," she said.

Eating sugar or too much weight?

Even though the researchers pinpointed some similarities between yeast and human cancer cells, Ligibel explained, "it's important to recognize we're a few steps away from even human cancer cells in a test tube."

The study showed only an increased rate of cell growth triggered by glucose, she said. Even though the team showed RAS pathways being activated, this "actually didn't result in the cells replicating more quickly," she said.

Still, the data are "incredible," said Ligibel, who is also an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "This is really one of the first studies that's provided a biologic mechanism that could explain a relationship between glucose itself and cancer progression.

"When we think about the relationship between sugar and cancer -- when we think about what drives the level of sugar in someone's body -- it's primarily related to their weight," Ligibel said.

When people are heavier, their bodies manage sugar differently than those of people who are lighter. This sugar management is what leads to type 2 diabetes, a disease in which blood sugar is high and levels of insulin, the hormone the body uses to manage blood sugar, begins to rise because the body becomes resistant to its effects.

"We've known for a while that having a higher blood sugar and having a higher level of insulin in your system are both linked to the risk of developing cancer," Ligibel said.

At the same time, studies that have tried to look at how eating sugar might be linked to cancer risk "have been much less consistent," she said. One large study of older US adults, for instance, did not find a relationship between the amount of sugar people ate and the risk of developing cancer.

Conversely, she noted, other studies show that people diagnosed with colon cancer who ate a higher proportion of their total calories in sugar had a higher risk of cancer recurrence -- but only for people who were already overweight and obese. Once again, how the body manages sugar -- and not the sweetener itself -- may be key.

Studies in breast cancer patients have compared low-carbohydrate diets to low-fat diets and found that the amount of weight people lost, not the diet itself, was important, Ligibel said. If it led to weight loss, either diet brought an identical lowering of sugar in the blood stream and an identical lowering of insulin.

"Whether you achieved that through one diet versus another didn't seem to be as important as the amount of weight you lost if you were overweight or obese," she said. Translated into practical advice for cancer patients: "If you have someone who is obese or overweight, helping them to lose weight is going to be an important thing. We know that from a lot of different lines of study.

"I think that sugar definitely contributes to weight gain. I think that sugar doesn't have a lot of nutritional value," Ligibel said. Still, cancer patients need to focus on maintaining a healthy weight by balancing exercise and the food they eat.

Sugar can cause obesity which leads to cancer

Asked whether he believes that eating more sugar leads to more cancer, Thevelein immediately answered, "No! definitely not." He and his co-authors do not state that in the paper; instead, they explain how normal, healthy cells can handle sugar in a controlled way.

"On the other hand, we all know that when you eat a lot of sugar, you have a tendency -- that has been clearly shown -- to become more obese," Thevelein said. "And obesity is linked to a higher risk of cancer."

Though it's "too early to say," Thevelein said that when you eat too much sugar over a long time, "maybe this can also lead in some way to dysregulation of the RAS protein in the normal cells," and possibly it is this "dysregulation" that triggers RAS genes into becoming mutants.

"It's better not to eat too much sugar so that you don't become obese," he said. "And if at the same time, you also decrease your risk of cancer, the better -- but this is something we cannot make a statement about at this moment."

If anything, he would suggest that cancer patients eat less simple sugars and more complex sugars, such as those found in starch and whole grains. Complex sugars are released more slowly and are taken up by the body more slowly, and this might be helpful to cancer patients.

"That would be our message," Thevelein said: "Try to look for alternative ways of providing sugar and energy to cancer patients rather than rapidly metabolized simple sugars."

Is there a link between sugar and cancer?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A biologic mechanism in yeast cells may explain the relationship between sugar and malignant tumors, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications. The nine-year research project may even influence personal medicine and diets for cancer patients, the authors concluded. The study begins by looking closely at cancer cells' appetite for sugar.

Kansas City lawyer shot and killed in front of his home after dropping kids at school

Missouri police are searching for the suspect who gunned down a 39-year-old Kansas City lawyer in front of his home Wednesday morning after he had dropped off his children at school.

Police were called to the home in Kansas City's Brookside neighborhood, where they found the man in the front yard "with no signs of life," the Kansas City Police Department said in a statement.

Partners in the law firm Fowler Pickert Eisenmenger, LLC identified the deceased man as one of their partners, Tom Pickert.

Pickert's wife told officials she heard a gunshot and found Pickert in the front yard, police said. Pickert's wife also told emergency dispatchers that the suspect was in a white van with no back window, according to the 911 call.

After the shooting, investigators were searching for the driver of a white Chevrolet van but later found the van Wednesday afternoon -- unoccupied in an undisclosed location, police said.

Police told ABC News that the owner of the van is not a suspect in Pickert's death. Police would not disclose the name of the owner of the van to ABC News.

Pickert had just returned home from walking his children to school around 8 a.m. when he was shot, local ABC affiliate KMBC reported. He had been sitting on his front porch, The Kansas City Star reported. Pickert's wife, a physician at in the University of Kansas Healthcare system, heard the noise and then called 911, according to police.

Pickert specialized in personal injury law with a focus on medical malpractice and nursing home and long-term care abuse cases, according to his biography on his firm's website.

Pickert's neighbor, Deborah Carlton, told KMBC that she was "shocked" and "stunned" at the news of his death.

Another neighbor, David Wesley, told KMBC that he "really feels" for the family.

"I trust and hope this community here will embrace them and gather around them right now," Wesley said.

Kansas City police have asked residents to remain vigilant as they search for a suspect.

"As with any homicide or with any event in the community, we again would just remind everyone to be vigilant," Maj. Donna Greenwell told KMBC. "If people have concerns in regards to their safety, I would ask that they reach out to their local police department."

Additional details on the case were not immediately available.

ABC News' Cheryl Gendron, Rachel Katz and Michael Solmsen contributed to this report.
