The Chicago Cubs are 11 wins away from the team's first World Series title in 108 years.

And why can't they win those 11 games? The Cubs have the best roster and form heading into Friday's Game 1 of their National League Division Series matchup with the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field.

There's a lot of crazy, curious things that can happen between now and the clinching game of the World Series, and there's absolutely no guarantee the Cubs will even win a game in the postseason.

The weight of a century-plus of failure hasn't moved on Chicago's big shoulders.

But for the first time in a long time, there's belief that weight could be moved - the proverbial "next year" might not be this year, but it's not far behind it, either. It's going to happen.

After Game 1, FS1 will air "Confessions of a Cubs Fan," a documentary that chronicles the history of suffering and explores the psychology of Cubs fanhood in these bizarre (see: winning) times.

One question the documentary poses is as simple as it is confounding: What would happen if the Cubs - the team that is most synonymous with losing - won?

Forget the party in Wrigleyville that lasts two weeks straight and the parade down State Street that'll make the Bulls and Blackhawks' championship parades look like suburban council meetings.

Losing is part of the core identity of the Cubs and frankly, part of the allure of being a Cubs fan is being part of that suffering. There's something masochistic about it all from the outsider's perspective, but self-torture, even in the most unnecessary realms, is a Chicago trademark.

Why? Because there's a bond in misery. (If only there was a catchier saying for that ...)

It's tantric. The longer you suffer, the more cathartic the celebration will be.

But all celebrations end.

Chicagoans (and non-Chicagoans) become Cubs fans for hundreds of reasons. In the last two decades, Sammy Sosa's home run chase left me as the only Frank Thomas fan at the lunch table and the magical run (and tragic end) to the 2003 season put a lot more people in blue hats. There have been spurts of success since that have kept fans engaged, but the Theo Epstein, Joe Maddon era brought on another truckload of converts.

All will have to jostle with the same question: Will it be as fun to be a Cubs fan after the tightly-wound spring is released?

No one can know, because frankly, few have given it serious consideration. Certainly, this article will elicit comments that such exploration is testing fate and jinxing the team (a wonderful compliment for this prose but nonetheless an utterly ridiculous notion).

The best example to look to for an idea of what might happen is in Boston, where the Red Sox, with new ownership, a classic-but-updated ballpark, a big payroll and Theo Epstein, broke their curse in 2004 and became one of baseball's model franchises in the decade that followed.

The World Series win also emboldened perhaps the most insufferable fans in American sports to up their game.

The nice story turned dark.

Perhaps Cubs fans can avoid that same fate. Perhaps they'll stay lovable even when they're not losers.

Or maybe they'll take the success (and the more success that's likely to come), and make a full heel turn. The social-media driven world of sports is cynical towards success and the Cubs become the hateable winners. Perhaps the ruthless commercialism pushed by the team's owners, the Ricketts family, will finally extinguish the magic of Wrigley - a quintessential part of Cubs fandom.

We don't know, and we can only wait to find out.

The death rate in Haiti due to Hurricane Matthew is high. At least 271 people with a confirmed death, with an estimate of 478 people probably dead. 186 wounded, 61,537 people seeking shelter.

The death toll in Haiti from Hurricane Matthew has risen dramatically amid reports that hundreds of people had been killed as a result of the catastrophic destruction brought on by the Category 3 storm that roared through the impoverished nation three days ago.

Interested in Hurricanes?

Add Hurricanes as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Hurricanes news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

At least 271 people have been confirmed dead, Haiti's Civil Protection Agency told ABC News today, but other estimates report the figure to be much higher. Reuters reported that at least 478 individuals have been killed as a result of Hurricane Matthew.

The country's Civil Protection Agency added that three people were missing and 186 people were wounded. In addition, 61,537 people are seeking refuge in 192 shelters.

The death toll continues to rise, even days after Matthew moved away from Haiti, as officials and aid workers still work to regain access to villages in the southern part of the country that were deluged with floodwaters and cut off from the rest of the Haiti.

Nine of the country's 15 hospitals remain operational, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), a subgroup of the UN-backed World Health Organization, said in a statement yesterday. Five hospitals are completely unreachable by phone or radio, and the Les Cayes Hospital was forced to evacuate, according to PAHO.

PAHO added that its staff was "preparing for a possible cholera upsurge in Haiti, where more than 28,500 cases have already been reported so far in 2016."

More than 28,000 homes have been damaged so far, and 21,000 people are in shelters, the Haitian Interior Ministry announced yesterday. On Wednesday, a spokesman for U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement that at least 350,000 people need immediate assistance in Haiti.

Jean-Michel Vigreux, the country director in Haiti for the non-profit group CARE, said in a statement yesterday that the southern part of the country is "now cut off from the rest of the country."

He added that the city of Jeremie was in "complete destruction."

"About 80 percent of the buildings are destroyed. Phones and electricity are down. The bank is offline. Access is completely cut off and people are running out of food and money," Vigreux said.

Dr. Charles-Patrick Almazor, the chief medical officer in Haiti for Partners in Health, an NGO focused on providing medical care to different parts of the world, told ABC News that it has been nearly impossible for many people to get in contact with relatives and friends who live in the southern part of the country in the aftermath of the storm, leaving many fearing for the worst.

Almazor reiterated that he was bracing for a surge in cholera and Zika during the coming weeks as cleanup efforts begin. These health concerns have devastated the country even before Matthew hit.

The storm has also affected the country's politics. Officials were forced to indefinitely postpone a major presidential election that was scheduled for this Sunday.

they faked it all

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Was it all made up? Strangely, no surveillance footage has been found, despite reports of a robbery involving five people. Now, French officials may be wondering if Kim Kardashian and Kanye West fabricated the entire thing.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are masters of the publicity stunt, but the pair may have gone too far last weekend in Paris. Yesterday, Digital Music News raised a number of glaring problems with the reported jewelry heist, including the possibility that the story was completely fabricated.

It just doesn't seem to pass the sniff test. And that could be a big, big problem for French officials desperately trying to repair the image of Paris.

Among the obvious problems are the absence of any security the night of the heist, the presence of just one night watchman in the entire hotel, an immediate escape by Kardashian and the watchman despite being tied up, and the absence of even one message to the outside (including from another person downstairs in the multi-level suite).

No security footage captured.

But this one may just take the cake. According to details somehow 'leaked' to TMZ, there isn't any security footage of the crime. Somehow, a five-person crew managed to evade every single camera, either inside the hotel or outside the building. At this point, no other cameras have recorded anything, even though Paris is littered with cameras on every block.

In fact, one police surveillance camera outside the building shows zero activity. That could be because it was pointed away from the building, or, perhaps there was absolutely nothing to record.

Additionally, there isn't one witness to the crime outside Kim Kardashian and the unidentified night watchman. Fashion stylist Simone Harouche, who called the cops after allegedly hearing screams from Kardashian on the hotel balcony, has declined to comment.

Back in the US, even Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer is raising questions about the heist. Opining about a separate case, Breyer referenced "Kardashian's thief, if there is one."

No leads, no suspects, no nothing.

More importantly, French police seem to have absolutely no leads in this case. Nobody saw anyone riding a bicycle in a police uniform, or even walking away. Not one witness has come forward, if a witness even exists. In fact, not one individual has even been detained, with French police failing to name one suspect.

All of which raises the possibility of a criminal probe ahead by French authorities. For starters, Paris is a city suffering billions in losses from slumping tourism, thanks to a spate of horrific terrorist attacks. Add a complicated jewelry heist into the mix, and the world's most visited city could suffer another plunge in tourism.

French authorities may be considering a serious criminal investigation, if only to prove to the world that Paris is safe to visit.

Ryan Lochte, anyone?

Strangely, Kardashian's reported heist bears an uncanny resemblance to a recent robbery wise tale. During the recent Olympics in Rio, American swimmer Ryan Lochte claimed that robbers dressed as police officers accosted him with guns. That story was widely accepted by the mainstream media, though Brazilian officials smelled a rat.

For starters, the Rio 'robbers' decided not to steal an expensive watch, among other glaring inconsistencies. Soon, video footage revealed that Lochte and team were merely vandalizing a gas station bathroom while drunk, while urinating outside a locked door. The 'robbers' were actually security guards trying to control the situation.

Ultimately, Lochte was shamed for cooking up a story and almost damaging the reputation of Rio. Could Kim Kardashian and Kanye West be guilty of the same crime?
More as this develops.

RIDGEWOOD, Queens (WPIX) - A Queens man, terrified that his 85-year-old grandmother's death would leave him homeless, kept her decomposing body wrapped in at least 10 garbage bags for almost half a year, until a concerned relative led police to the horrifying discovery, a law enforcement source said.

The woman, identified as Erika Kraus-Breslin, died in May, according to a law enforcement source. Her grandson, Christopher Fuhrer, 30, is under arrest after months of trying to cover up her death, putting air freshener in a fan to minimize the smell, which began the day after she died, the police source said.

On Wednesday, officers were sent to her home on 65th Street near 68th Avenue by a concerned family member who called police, NYPD said.

When they arrived, police were met by Fuhrer, who directed them to a bedroom where Kraus-Breslin's wrapped corpse was lying on the floor.

Fuhrer faces a charge each of not reporting death to a health officer, burial/body removal without permit, and improper burial, police said.

The medical examiner will determine Kraus-Breslin's cause of death.

Multiple people killed in a car crash

Two people died when a helicopter erupted in "a large fireball" as it plummeted into a field outside of St. Paul, a sheriff's official said Friday.

According to the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, officers were called to a report of a crash in a field in Lino Lakes at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, about 17 miles north of St. Paul.

"What the officers discovered, a helicopter crashed in the field," Anoka County Sheriff's Office Cmdr. Paul Sommer said. "There is basically wreckage. There's not a lot I can tell you about the crash scene. There's a large fireball, wreckage."

Sommer tweeted Friday that two people died in the crash. No one on the ground was hurt in the crash.

Witnesses said they saw the helicopter and then heard a large "pop" or a "bang," Sommer said. They said that the helicopter's rotor appeared to stop suddenly and the aircraft was seen falling out of the sky, he added.

Others told authorities that the helicopter began to break up before hitting the ground and bursting into flames.

Sommer said it didn't appear that the crash was caused by an entanglement with power lines, saying the helicopter was flying at a much higher altitude when it started to go down.

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate, according to FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory. Authorities asked Lino Lakes residents to contact the police if they find any objects that could be debris from the aircraft.

"We don't know what kind of aircraft this was. We can't identify much based on what remains in the field. It's basically charred up debris," Sommer said.

Authorities ask if anyone finds debris from the crash to turn it into investigators.

"This is a horrible tragedy," Sommer said. "I can't begin to describe what that scene looks like."

Of course Chol's height allows him to block shots and dunk with ease. Those are standard for a player of his stature. No, potential suitors are excited because he has a 38-inch vertical, can shoot from anywhere on the floor and can handle the ball like a point guard.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are watching Florida as closely as a homeowner -- hoping Hurricane Matthew won't destroy the political infrastructure they've built. The storm -- the strongest to threaten the US coast in more than a decade -- is poised to shake the campaigns with just 33 days remaining before the election. Safety is the biggest concern as Matthew approaches Florida and later takes aim at North Carolina, another crucial swing state. But the hurricane is also threatening Clinton and Trump efforts to mobilize voters. And the potential of displaced residents could challenge pollsters and scramble turnout.

"Power laces - all right!" In "Back to the Future Part II," teenage time traveler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) was understandably impressed by a pair of sneakers that conformed to his feet and laced themselves automatically.

It only took 27 years, but Nike has produced those science-fiction kicks and is putting them up for grabs. But there's a catch: Only 89 pairs are available. ['Star Wars' Tech: 8 Sci-Fi Inventions and Their Real-Life Counterparts]

The limited-edition release of the 2016 Nike Mag offers the self-lacing sneakers through an online lottery in collaboration with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Lottery entries can be purchased with a $10 donation to the foundation; 100 percent of all the proceeds will go toward research for a Parkinson's cure, according to a statement released by Nike.

The shoes' big scene in the film lasted less than 30 seconds, but it was long enough for them to make a big impact on moviegoers - and to inspire Nike executives and designers. Nike Mags closely resemble the sneakers that so impressed Marty McFly nearly three decades ago. A system called "adaptive fit" uses sensors to tighten or loosen the shoe to conform to the wearer's foot.

This isn't the first time that Nike has tantalized science-fiction fans with promises of self-lacing sneakers. On March 16, the company announced the forthcoming debut of the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0, declaring in a statement that the shoe would be "the first performance vehicle for Nike's latest platform breakthrough, adaptive lacing."

Nike representatives described a sensor in the sneaker's heel that would detect the wearer's foot inside the shoe, triggering the system to adjust the fit.

However, the HyperAdapt's promised release - the 2016 holiday season - would only accommodate Nike+ members, and Nike did not specify how much the shoes would cost or when they would be more widely available.

The lottery for a chance to snap up the new Nike Mag sneaker, on the other hand, is already underway.

If the shoe fits

From Oct. 4 to Oct. 11, residents of the U.S. and Canada can purchase entries to win a pair of Mags on the Nike website or the Nike app. There is no limit to the number of tickets that hopeful entrants can buy, and winners will be notified Oct. 17.

Three additional pairs of Nike Mags will be auctioned off during fundraising events in three cities: Hong Kong on Oct. 11, London on Oct. 14 and 17, and New York on Nov. 12.

Considering Fox was the first to wear the futuristic shoe when it was just a gleam in a special-effects prop master's eye, it seems only right that he would be the first to test out the sneaker in the real world - and Nike delivered the first pair of Nike Mags to Fox in 2015.

"Though it initially shared only a few seconds of screen time with Michael, the idea behind the Nike Mag unlocked something much bigger at Nike," Mark Parker, Nike's chairman, president and CEO, said in a statement. "It sent us down an uncharted path of innovation, but it also opened our eyes to our ability to fight some of the world's biggest challenges. We feel privileged for the opportunity to raise even more awareness for the fight against Parkinson's," Parker said.

Hurricane Matthew whips Florida

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Meteorologists said storm surge was measured at more than 4 feet in some areas.

"We are seeing impacts right now from St. Augustine to Jacksonville Beach. Unfortunately, this is going to continue through the night," Gov. Rick Scott said.

The storm, which is blamed for four deaths in Florida, sparked flash-flood concerns. The National Weather Service issued a warning for parts of Nassau County, north of Jacksonville.

"The combination of a dangerous storm surge, the tide and large and destructive waves will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline," the National Hurricane Center said.

Special concern surrounded Jacksonville's St. Johns River, which could be overwhelmed by water pushed into it by the storm. The hurricane center said a tide gauge reported storm surge of 4.28 feet.

After killing hundreds in Haiti and other Caribbean nations, Matthew's frightening power led to the deaths of four people in Florida. The list included a woman in her 60s in Volusia County, hit by a falling tree, and an 82-year-old man and a woman in St. Lucie County, officials said. The latter two had medical emergencies and responders were unable to reach them in time because of hazardous weather.

A woman in northeast Florida died after a tree fell on her camper trailer, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said.

The Category 2 hurricane, while losing some of its wind speed, left more than 1 million people without power in Florida as it spent the day plowing north just off the state's east coast. Late Friday, Matthew was hovering off the coast of Georgia and headed toward South Carolina, where officials issued warnings about the possibility of treacherous storm surge and up to 15 inches of rain.

Matthew is expected to arrive near or over the shores of South Carolina by Saturday and over to North Carolina by Saturday evening.

Winds were already blustery in Hilton Head, South Carolina, with one gust measured at 63 mph.

It's not as if Matthew -- with winds of 105 mph -- won't cause further damage with its powerful winds.

"Just because the center of circulation is offshore doesn't mean you can't be the center of action (along the coast)," National Hurricane Center Director Rick Knabb said. "It's going to get a lot worse before it (has) a chance of getting better."

Here's what you need to know:

* As of 11 p.m. ET, Matthew's center was over the Atlantic, about 70 miles south-southeast of Savannah, Georgia, the National Hurricane Center said. Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 60 miles from that center. It was moving north at 12 mph.

* A total of 1.1 million customers in Florida were without power.

* The National Weather Service warned that some places hit by Matthew could be uninhabitable for "weeks or months."

* The storm has killed at least 300 people in three Caribbean countries. The majority died in Haiti, said Civil Protection Service spokesman Joseph Edgard Celestin.

Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina

As northeastern Florida braced for impact, coastal communities in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina also were on notice. The storm's center could be near or over the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina on Saturday, the hurricane center said.

* Glynn County officials wrote on Facebook that "Conditions have deteriorated to a point that persons remaining in (the area near Brunswick) are advised to shelter in place for the remainder of the storm."

* Maj. Tommy Tillman of the Chatham County Sheriff's Office said the road to Tybee Island is closed.

* In Savannah, Mayor Eddie DeLoach warned those who stay that they'd be on their own.

* Gov. Nathan Deal has ordered evacuations for all counties east of Interstate 95. Deal has activated 1,000 National Guard troops.

* Four counties and one city in South Carolina will be under nighttime curfews until further notice, said state Emergency Management Division spokesman Derrec Becker. Dorchester, Beaufort, Jasper and Williamsburg counties will be under curfew. Charleston's curfew starts at midnight. The curfews end each morning, at different times.

* Gov. Nikki Haley warned residents who didn't evacuate to go to a shelter. A major storm surge of 8 feet or more is approaching low-lying areas in the state, including Charleston.

* Although 310,000 people have evacuated the area, Haley says that's not enough. Officials in some areas are going door to door, urging people to leave. Police in Pawleys Island asked residents who decided to stay in spite of the evacuation orders to sign a waiver and list their next of kin, according to CNN affiliate WBTW.

* Gov. Pat McCrory said the forecast had changed, to North Carolina's detriment. "What we feared is now happening in North Carolina. The (hurricane forecast) model has changed dramatically," he said. "The immediate concern is life-threatening rain and water (from storm surge)."

* Officials are concerned that areas -- such as Fayetteville, home to the Army's Fort Bragg -- that were recently flooded will see more rain from Matthew.

The Obama economy has made 15M jobs that are non-farming.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Obama is now taking credit for creating 15 million jobs.

That's how many new jobs have been created since the dark days of the Great Recession. Another solid month of hiring in September has brought the tally to over 15 million non-farm jobs.

"Anyone claiming that America's economy is in decline is peddling fiction," President Obama said in his State of the Union address earlier this year. His critics counter that this is the slowest recovery since WW II.

This week Obama fought back at his detractors. He said his team has created a "more durable, growing economy" with "15 million new private-sector jobs since early 2010" in an essay in The Economist. Democrat Tim Kaine also used the 15 million jobs talking point in the vice presidential debate.

But Obama is using the most generous accounting possible to get that figure.

He doesn't start the count from his first day in office in 2009. Instead, he begins calculating job gains from February 2010, which was the lowest point for employment in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Under 130 million people were working then, according to U.S. Department of Labor. Now there are almost 145 million employed Americans.

CNNMoney used the Obama methodology (lowest employment point to highest) to see how he stacks up against recent presidents.

The result: Obama is still behind Presidents Clinton (22.9 million) and Reagan (18.1 million), but he's left President George W. Bush (8.2 million) in the dust.

Related: Is anyone worried about America's $19 trillion debt?

So what happens when you start the clock on Obama's first day of office?

If you do that, Obama can only take credit for 10.8 million new jobs. He also looks a bit worse compared to Reagan and Clinton.

Some make the case that the Obama jobs clock should start in February 2009 since the president only takes office on January 20 and that was a terrible month for job losses. Starting in February yields11.5 million new jobs created under Obama.

"It's obviously a political question, because it's a judgment about whether he was responsible for any or all of those 4.3 million jobs lost during his first 13 months in office, or just for the 15 million jobs added thereafter," says Lakshman Achuthan, co-founder of the Economic Cycle Research Institute.

Achuthan doesn't take a stance on which method is better.

The Obama administration says the job gains clock shouldn't start until 2010 because it took time for the president's policies to take effect to get the country out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Obama has played up job growth in interviews and speeches about his legacy because it's been particularly strong in recent years. In many ways, hiring has been the highlight of the recovery. Economic growth overall has been mediocre, and wages haven't picked up much (at least for the middle class).

"President Obama has tried to walk something of a narrow line along the lines of: We've made progress, but we still have work to do," says Mark Hamrick, senior economist analyst at Bankrate.com.

That's how many new jobs have been created since the dark days of the Great Recession. Another solid month of hiring in September has brought the tally to over 15 million non-farm jobs. "Anyone claiming that America's economy is in decline is peddling fiction," President Obama said in his State of the Union address earlier this year.

Donald Trump was at a Retired Veterans PAC in Virginia and said "When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat and they see things that maybe a lot of folks in this room have seen many times over and you're strong and you can handle it but a lot of people can't handle it. They see horror stories, they see events you couldn't see in a movie, nobody would believe it,". Many military leaders have endorsed and supported Trump due to his support of American troops.
