Iraq sentences Isis foreign fighter to death.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This is the first time that a foreign ISIS fighter in Iraq has received a death sentence.

The man was arrested by Iraqi forces during an operation to retake the eastern bank of Mosul -- the country's second largest city -- from ISIS earlier this year. In July, Iraq's Prime Minister announced that all of Mosul had been recaptured from the terror group.

The man was accused of being member of the al-Zarqawi brigade, an armed wing of ISIS, and confessed to "carrying out several terrorist operations against the security services since 2015," Judge Abdul Sattar al-Beeraqdar, the High Judicial Council's spokesman, said in a statement.

He has been sentenced to death by hanging in accordance with article four of Iraq's anti-terrorism law, al-Beeraqdar said.

It is unclear exactly how many ISIS fighters, including foreigners, have been captured by Iraqi and Kurdish forces as they've recaptured territory from ISIS in recent months.

ISIS's retreat has accelerated in both Iraq and Syria over the past few weeks.

Iraqi forces seized the town of Tal Afar from the terror group in late August. Last Tuesday, Syrian troops broke the group's three-year siege of the strategic city of Deir Ezzor.

Meanwhile, in northern Syria, US-backed forces have captured two-thirds of Raqqa, ISIS's self-declared capital.

hurricane irma leaves millions in florida without electricity

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Floridians are returning from their Irma-induced exodus on Tuesday to find wrecked homes, food shortages and widespread power outages -- and now face a long and daunting road to recovery.

Around 15 million people remain without electricity across the state, according to Chris Krebs, Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection at the Department of Homeland Security.

"I do ask that everyone have patience," Krebs said at a news conference Tuesday morning. "This is going to take some time to restore."

Due to the extent of the damage caused by Irma, Krebs said "this will be a situation about rebuilding," instead of simply repairing damaged power infrastructure.

Communication also remains an issue on some barrier islands, due to cellular disruptions, Krebs said.

Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke said nearly 22,000 federal personnel are in Florida to handle the "long and challenging road ahead."

"A storm of this magnitude needs team effort," she said.

Displaced residents and business owners from Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada were allowed to return for their first glimpse of the damage to their homes and offices on Tuesday morning.

Those people from the Lower Keys, however, faced a longer wait, with a roadblock in place where the highway to farther-away islands was washed out by the storm.
HURRICANE IRMA LEAVES 1 MILLION GEORGIA RESIDENTS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY
Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Tuesday the Florida Keys bridges appeared to escape serious damage from Irma, but more time is needed to finish inspections.

Gov. Rick Scott said officials continue to check the 42 Overseas Highway bridges that link the Florida Keys together. He said none appear seriously damaged but that "we're not sure that on the bridges we should be putting on significant weight."

Key West City Commissioner Sam Kaufman said late Monday two sections of U.S. 1 washed away from Irma will be repaired by the end of the week. The National Guard is expected to arrive in Key West to distribute water and food, which are at "critically low supplies," according to Kaufman.

Hungry residents across the state are also looking for whatever restaurants and stores still have power to stock up on supplies, and whose food hasn't spoiled due to a lack of refrigeration.

Miami Beach residents were allowed to return their homes Tuesday to assess damage done by Irma, sparking heavy traffic by 7 a.m. at police blocks.

Among them were Lyle and Lydia Calhoun. The couple, originally from South Carolina, has a condo in the Biscayne Bay area and were eager to return home.

"We've been waiting for an hour," Lydia told Fox News. "We're tired, we're dirty and we want to go home."

A handful of businesses, including several Walgreens and 7-Elevens, had reopened with more stores expected to join throughout the day.

"Miami Beach will be up and running soon," resident Scott Looker, who had taken his dog "Diggie Smalls" for a walk near the Port of Miami, told Fox News. "We've done it before and we'll do it again."

Lack of widespread working air conditioning comes at an inopportune time, as temperatures sit in the mid-80s and feel nearly 10 degrees warmer.

In Key West, Kaufman said the city is also desperately low on fuel, and is working with the military for emergency supplies.

Key West resident Laura Keeney was waiting in a Miami hotel until it was safe to return home, and she was anxious to hear more about her apartment complex. Her building manager told her there was flooding there, but further updates were hard to come by because power and cell phone service have been down on the island.

"They told me there is definitely water in the downstairs apartment, which is me," Keeney told the Associated Press.

As sweltering tropical heat returned across the peninsula as Irma moved northward, people in the Tampa Bay area fired up generators or headed outdoors to sit outside to pass the time awaiting for their lights to come back on.

"It's a luxury right? It's a luxury. Big luxury," Jennifer Blaskvitch told FOX 13 Tampa. "I know we pay for it but when it goes out, you expect it to be back quick. But, I understand the circumstances. It could have been a lot worse. So, you just have to be patient."
FLORIDA LOOTING CRACKDOWN IS 'WHITE SUPREMACY,' CLAIMS AUTHOR SARAH JAFFE
Florida Power and Light said its working to restore power as quickly as possible, staging hundreds of trucks and crews from across the country at South Florida sites, WSVN reported.

"Even though we are restoring power, people need to be prepared for some prolonged and extended outages," FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy said. "There are pockets of some real destruction."'

The power company said Tuesday the East Coast of the state is estimated to have power restored by the end of weekend except in areas hit by tornados, flooding, and severe damage.

On the state's West Coast, Florida Power said power is estimated to be restored by Sept. 22, except in areas hit by tornadoes, flooding, and severe damage.

The remnants of Irma were blowing through Alabama and Mississippi on Tuesday after drenching Georgia.

Six deaths in Florida have been blamed on Irma, along with three in Georgia and one in South Carolina. At least 35 people were killed in the Caribbean.

Around the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, where Irma rolled through early Monday, damage appeared modest, and Florida Gov. Rick Scott said effects on the southwest coast, including in Naples and Fort Myers, was not as bad as feared.

Still, Scott predicted that recovery could take a long time in many areas.

"I know for our entire state, especially the Keys, it's going to be a long road," he said.

Peter Hall, founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company founder and ex-director of Britain's National Theatre, has died. He was 86.

The National Theatre said Tuesday that Hall died Monday surrounded by his family. He had been suffering from dementia.

Hall was one of the most celebrated directors and luminaries on the British theater scene.

He led the Royal Shakespeare Company for nearly three decades after founding it in 1960. Hall became National Theatre Company director in 1973.

He directed many world premieres including Harold Pinter's "The Homecoming" and Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus."

His final production at the National Theatre was "Twelfth Night" in 2011. He was diagnosed with dementia shortly afterward.

Hall is survived by his wife Nicki, six children and nine grandchildren.

The extremist Islamic State group says it used a suicide car bomb in its deadly attack on a police convoy in the turbulent north of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

The account given by Egypt's Interior Ministry of Monday's attack only says that a car that rushed toward the convoy exploded when policemen in the convoy shot at it.

Egyptian security and military officials say four armored vehicles and a fifth one carrying signal-jamming equipment were destroyed in the attack and a police pickup was commandeered0 by the militants. They say 18 police were killed and another seven wounded in the attack.

The late Monday IS statement says the attack left a total of 35 dead or wounded and identifies the suicide bomber by his alias, Abu Suleiman al-Masri.

Teen shoots, & kills his mother for not letting him keep a puppy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Michigan teenager shot his mother to death last week while she slept -- all because the woman wouldn't let her son have a puppy, police said.

Andrew David Willson, 19, was charged with murder and felony firearm possession in the incident. He was arrested Friday and was denied bond, Lansing State Journal reported.

Willson called police just before 7 a.m. Friday saying he found his mother, Lisa Marie Willson, dead in their Williamston home. Officers found the 51-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to the back of her head.
SLENDER MAN CASE ON TRIAL; GIRL'S MENTAL STATE AT ISSUE
Investigators discovered Willson and his mother were the only people in the home Thursday night, when they reportedly argued about keeping a dog the teenager had brought home with him a few weeks prior. Lisa allegedly refused and told Andrew the pet would instead be kept with his father in Dansville, about 11 miles away, Detective Charles Buckland said.

Willson told detectives he took a .22 Magnum rifle from a locked cabinet and shot his mother in the back of the head, before tossing the rifle nearby, Buckland said.

Willson has no prior criminal offenses and is scheduled to be in court Sept. 28.

Irma damages up too 400k vehicles.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Victims of Hurricane Irma's destruction will need to replace up to 400,000 vehicles, according to an analysis by Cox Automotive.

Irma ripped through Florida with high winds and severe storm surge, causing extensive damage to homes, businesses and other property. Cox Automotive, the parent company of Kelley Blue Book and Autotrader, estimated that South Florida residents lost between 130,000 and 200,000 vehicles. Including the entire Sunshine State and neighboring states to the north, Irma took out approximately 200,000 to 400,000 vehicles, not including new vehicles waiting to be sold.

By comparison, Hurricane Harvey destroyed 300,000 to 500,000 vehicles in the Houston market, based on Cox Automotive's estimates.

The damage caused by Harvey and Irma is expected to hurt new-vehicle sales in the short run. Dealers in Texas and Florida are working with fewer selling days after closing during the storms. Harvey also flooded thousands of vehicles on dealership lots. Automakers had planned to ship more used vehicles into the Houston market to help dealers restock. In Florida, the industry lost about seven selling days due to preparation for the storm and its aftermath, Cox Automotive said. The result is a decline of 20,000 to 30,000 in new-vehicle sales.

But Irma likely sets up a period of intense buying activity starting in the near future, similar to what the auto market saw in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for Cox Automotive, noted that while September volume will fall 10% to 15%, October sales should rise by a similar amount. He also said demand typically remains elevated for two to three months following a major storm.

"Looking at the history of prior storms, the impact on new and used demand happens pretty quickly," Smoke said. "We could see people respond by later this week, when businesses get back up and running."

AutoNation ( AN), the largest car dealer in the U.S., closed nearly all of its stores in Florida late last week. A spokesperson told FOX Business that AutoNation planned to reopen those stores Tuesday.

Floridians shopping for a replacement vehicle should brace for higher prices. Even though automakers are capable of swiftly moving inventory into an area of high demand, supply will be constrained for the time being. That will drive up prices locally, Smoke said.

Thoughts on kneeling in the NFL for the National Anthem and saying it is disrespect to our country our flag and that the color of our skin so we need to stand as a statue for our country.

Tomi Lahren Reacts to Clinton's Election Excuses: 'What Happened? You Happened!' Lahren: 'Social Justice Warriors' Think Shutting Down Conservatives Is 'Doing U.S. a Service'
I have some Final Thoughts for those NFL players who decided to take a knee or otherwise disrespect our country, our flag, and our American pride on Sunday. Let me tell you why the rest of us - black, white, and brown - stand for that anthem and salute that flag. We stand to pay our respects to the Americans, of all races and ethnicities, who have paid the ultimate price to protect and defend the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. We stand to acknowledge our American brothers and sisters who can no longer stand and salute the flag or sing our anthem. We stand out of respect for the husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers and children who have watched their loved ones come home in a casket under that flag. That's why we stand.

And why do you sit? Oppression? What about taking a knee to protest the shootings and gang violence in Chicago? The violence that has run the death toll up to nearly 500 so far this year. Ya know, that gang violence and inner city crime our police officers have to respond to day in and day out. The violence they put their lives on the line to prevent and the time they spend in those communities to protect and defend the innocent men, women, and children caught in the crossfire. Do you sit for that? Or is the oppression you speak of as selective as your outrage?

Football and sports bring Americans together. Game day unites Americans of all colors and backgrounds on the field, the sidelines and in the stands. Well, up until a few players decided to throw that unity in the garbage out of misguided anger for attention.

Listen, our country still has problems but natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey and Irma prove that when adversity or struggle comes to our backyard, we band together. That's the country you're kneeling to disrespect and we are the people, of every color, that you're spitting on. We aren't a perfect nation but I challenge you to find a better one and if you do, please relocate and let me know if that country pays you millions to throw a ball.

You sit because you don't seem to understand what that flag and that anthem mean to the rest of us. But thanks to those brave service members I mentioned, you have the right to sit like a spoiled brat and I also have the right to call you on it. Because it's not a social justice action, it's a misguided tantrum and it does nothing to bring us together. It only rips us apart and causes a spectacle.

To those teams and players and fans that had the decency and respect to stand for the anthem, salute the stars and stripes and respect our nation, thank you for your American spirit and love of country. It's appreciated by many. I assure you.

For some of us, kneeling on Sunday is reserved for prayer and to give thanks to God that we live in the United States of America.

3 teens in Brooklyn facing charges of assault, gang assault and attempted murder after stabbing a man and his adult son. Police are still looking for a fourth suspect.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three teens face attempted murder charges after stabbing and slashing a father and his adult son in a wild, gang-related attack in Brooklyn, cops said Monday.

Police used video to identify the trio, who are accused of stabbing Christopher Caraballo, 21, four times on a Brownsville street Friday afternoon.

Caraballo's father, Wilbert, 47, was slashed when he stepped in to protect his son, cops said.

Police on Saturday arrested Devon Plowden, 16, Joydan Cusaac, 19, and Tyreek Covington, 18. All three face charges of attempted murder, assault and gang assault.

Cops are still looking for a fourth suspect.

Father and son were walking home at about 2:10 p.m. when the group pounced at Pitkin Ave. and Thomas S. Boyland St., according to police.

Medics rushed both men to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition. The younger Caraballo, who was stabbed in his chest near his heart, needed surgery, his father told the Daily News on Friday.

"It's probably gang-related, that's what it is," the elder Caraballo said. "In Brownsville, Brooklyn, that's what it is. You can't hardly walk in the streets, you be afraid."

Plowden was held on $250,000 bail, while Cusaac and Covington remain held on $500,000 bail.

Irma destroyed about 25% of the houses in Florida Keys.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The situation in the Sunshine State was trying the patience of people who rode out the storm and those who came home after evacuating Hurricane Irma's path to find widespread devastation and access to their neighborhoods limited at times.

Power outages in Florida affected almost 5 million homes, organizations and businesses, among them gas stations, which need the electricity to keep pumps working.

Two days after Irma made landfall on Cudjoe Key, authorities and a few residents were finally able to reach some of the Florida Keys on Tuesday.

What they found was devastating: Based on initial estimates, 25% of the houses on the chain of islands have been destroyed, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Tuesday. Another 65% suffered major damage.

"Basically, every house in the Keys was impacted some way," FEMA Administrator Brock Long said.

But Key West City Manager Jim Scholl told CNN that FEMA's estimates might be high. The damage in his city and in his neighborhood on Cudjoe Key didn't match those dire numbers, he said.

The biggest challenge in Key West is moving debris out of the roadways. Scholl said he felt sympathy for the people who want to come home, but aren't being allowed this far south because of issues with the water infrastructure. The area is under a boil water advisory.

"That's why we don't want people to, en masse, return down here to the Keys. And we certainly understand the frustration," he said. "Everyone wants to get down here and check out their homes."

It's a long wait for those sifting through what's left of their homes throughout Florida in the oppressive heat and high humidity -- doing so while they wait for the power, and thus the air conditioning, to come back on.

All customers who lost electricity on the eastern side of the state will likely have power restored by the end of this weekend, because fewer electrical poles came down in the storm, Florida Power & Light said Tuesday.

An FPL official told reporters at a Broward County news conference that of the 790,000 customers in that county who lost power, 330,000 had their electricity restored Tuesday.

The company is focusing its efforts first on schools, hospitals and other critical infrastructure. Gas stations and restaurants are next on the plan, the official said.

Customers on the west coast of Florida, where Hurricane Irma made its final landfall, will likely have power restored by September 22, the company has said.

But residents like William Rose have bigger concerns. Rose still can't reach his family on the Florida Keys, where about a quarter of the islands' houses are annihilated.

He's not sure whether his mother, stepdad, grandmother and aunt survived Irma's wrath.

"I have no idea, but I'm trying to stay positive," Rose said.

Before the Keys lost cellphone service, Rose received a text from his mother, who chose not to evacuate.

"This is terrible. I will never do this again," the text read. "I'm so glad you got out."

Roadwork in the Keys

The Florida Department of Transportation said Tuesday night it has determined the bridges between the islands are structurally sound.

Transportation officials said two sections of US 1 that were washed away by Irma, one at mile marker 37 and the other at mile marker 75, have been repaired.

Darwin Tabacco, who stayed on Big Pine Key during Irma, is one of the fortunate residents. Both he and his house survived.

"A lot of people lost everything," he said Tuesday morning. "There's homes blown off the stilts. There's power lines down all over the place. Trees completely uprooted. People's businesses flooded. Septic fields flooding. It's just terrible."

Millions without power

Massive power outages are crippling much of the Southeast on Tuesday. Among the hardest hit by Irma (as of 9 p.m. ET):

About 4.4 million customers -- which includes homes, organizations and businesses -- are without power across the state, authorities said.
Georgia: Almost 700,000 customers are in the dark, according to Georgia Power and Georgia EMC.

South Carolina: Almost 55,000 customers have no power, according to Duke Energy and SCE&G.

North Carolina:
More than 29,000 customers don't have electricity, according to Duke Energy.More than 7,000 customers are without electricity, Alabama Power said.

9 states impacted

Irma, which stretched 650 miles from east to west, has pummeled at least nine states -- deluging city streets, knocking over trees and destroying homes along the way.

At least 16 storm-related deaths have already been reported on the US mainland, according to local officials:

has reported 12 deaths, Alberto C. Moscoso, a spokesman for Florida Division of Emergency Management, said Tuesday evening.had three deaths. A 62-year-old man who was on his roof was killed in Worth County, which experienced wind gusts of 69 mph. Another man was killed in Sandy Springs when a tree fell on his house.

Flights, hospitals will be back online

While the Keys have an exhaustive recovery ahead, signs of normalcy will pop up Tuesday elsewhere in Florida.

And Florida Hospital, a health provider in the state, said it would reopen many of its impacted facilities on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Mammoth flooding

Even a weakened Irma engulfed cities as far north as Charleston, South Carolina, on Tuesday.

"I really didn't expect it to become this bad here," Charleston resident Mike Stusnick said Tuesday. "It came in really fast last night. ... We were just praying that it didn't come all the way into the house, and it didn't."

Jacksonville, Florida -- the largest city by area in the contiguous United States -- is still trying to recover from record-breaking storm surge and flooding on Monday.

More than 300 people have been rescued in Jacksonville, the governor said Tuesday.

"So many areas that you thought wouldn't flood, flooded," Scott said.

Irma's deadly trail -- and questions about climate change

Before slamming into the United States, Irma hit Cuba late Friday as a Category 5 hurricane. Irma killed 38 people in the Caribbean before heading to the United States.

This is the first year on record that the continental United States has had two Category 4 hurricane landfalls in the same year. Last month, Hurricane Harvey devastated much of coastal Texas and killed more than 70 people.

At a news conference Tuesday, both the FEMA administrator and acting DHS Secretary Elaine Duke avoided explicitly answering questions about whether Washington needs to focus more on climate change after Harvey and Irma.

Instead, Long and Duke stressed the need for preparedness and resiliency.

Florida official: Death toll rises to 12 in state

The situation in the Sunshine State was trying the patience of people who rode out the storm and those who came home after evacuating Hurricane Irma's path to find widespread devastation and access to their neighborhoods limited at times.

Irma destroyed about 25% of houses in Florida Keys

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The situation in the Sunshine State was trying the patience of people who rode out the storm and those who came home after evacuating Hurricane Irma's path to find widespread devastation and access to their neighborhoods limited at times.

Power outages in Florida affected almost 5 million homes, organizations and businesses, among them gas stations, which need the electricity to keep pumps working.

Two days after Irma made landfall on Cudjoe Key, authorities and a few residents were finally able to reach some of the Florida Keys on Tuesday.

What they found was devastating: Based on initial estimates, 25% of the houses on the chain of islands have been destroyed, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Tuesday. Another 65% suffered major damage.

"Basically, every house in the Keys was impacted some way," FEMA Administrator Brock Long said.

But Key West City Manager Jim Scholl told CNN that FEMA's estimates might be high. The damage in his city and in his neighborhood on Cudjoe Key didn't match those dire numbers, he said.

The biggest challenge in Key West is moving debris out of the roadways. Scholl said he felt sympathy for the people who want to come home, but aren't being allowed this far south because of issues with the water infrastructure. The area is under a boil water advisory.

"That's why we don't want people to, en masse, return down here to the Keys. And we certainly understand the frustration," he said. "Everyone wants to get down here and check out their homes."

It's a long wait for those sifting through what's left of their homes throughout Florida in the oppressive heat and high humidity -- doing so while they wait for the power, and thus the air conditioning, to come back on.

All customers who lost electricity on the eastern side of the state will likely have power restored by the end of this weekend, because fewer electrical poles came down in the storm, Florida Power & Light said Tuesday.

An FPL official told reporters at a Broward County news conference that of the 790,000 customers in that county who lost power, 330,000 had their electricity restored Tuesday.

The company is focusing its efforts first on schools, hospitals and other critical infrastructure. Gas stations and restaurants are next on the plan, the official said.

Customers on the west coast of Florida, where Hurricane Irma made its final landfall, will likely have power restored by September 22, the company has said.

But residents like William Rose have bigger concerns. Rose still can't reach his family on the Florida Keys, where about a quarter of the islands' houses are annihilated.

He's not sure whether his mother, stepdad, grandmother and aunt survived Irma's wrath.

"I have no idea, but I'm trying to stay positive," Rose said.

Before the Keys lost cellphone service, Rose received a text from his mother, who chose not to evacuate.

"This is terrible. I will never do this again," the text read. "I'm so glad you got out."

Roadwork in the Keys

The Florida Department of Transportation said Tuesday night it has determined the bridges between the islands are structurally sound.

Transportation officials said two sections of US 1 that were washed away by Irma, one at mile marker 37 and the other at mile marker 75, have been repaired.

Darwin Tabacco, who stayed on Big Pine Key during Irma, is one of the fortunate residents. Both he and his house survived.

"A lot of people lost everything," he said Tuesday morning. "There's homes blown off the stilts. There's power lines down all over the place. Trees completely uprooted. People's businesses flooded. Septic fields flooding. It's just terrible."

Millions without power

Massive power outages are crippling much of the Southeast on Tuesday. Among the hardest hit by Irma (as of 9 p.m. ET):

About 4.4 million customers -- which includes homes, organizations and businesses -- are without power across the state, authorities said.
Georgia: Almost 700,000 customers are in the dark, according to Georgia Power and Georgia EMC.

South Carolina: Almost 55,000 customers have no power, according to Duke Energy and SCE&G.

North Carolina:
More than 29,000 customers don't have electricity, according to Duke Energy.More than 7,000 customers are without electricity, Alabama Power said.

9 states impacted

Irma, which stretched 650 miles from east to west, has pummeled at least nine states -- deluging city streets, knocking over trees and destroying homes along the way.

At least 16 storm-related deaths have already been reported on the US mainland, according to local officials:

has reported 12 deaths, Alberto C. Moscoso, a spokesman for Florida Division of Emergency Management, said Tuesday evening.had three deaths. A 62-year-old man who was on his roof was killed in Worth County, which experienced wind gusts of 69 mph. Another man was killed in Sandy Springs when a tree fell on his house. And a woman was killed when a tree struck her vehicle in Cumming.

Irma threatens birthday for 3-year old girl with leukemia. The hospital nurse saved the day by getting presents, cake, and decorations.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Willow was diagnosed with leukemia on Friday, just two days before the storm hit, and is now with her mother at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospitalhere preparing for chemotherapy.

Her mother had nothing for her birthday on Sunday: no presents, no cake, no decorations.

She was also missing another key ingredient for a birthday party: friends and family. It was unsafe for them to make the journey from their home in Wesley Chapel, more than 40 miles north of the hospital.

"I was like, I don't know how much more I can take," said Willow's mother, Jennifer Stine. "My baby's turning 3 and has cancer and on top of that my 4-year old daughter and husband are an hour and a half away in a hurricane. I'm just trying to process all this."

That's when hospital staff stepped in.

Raiding a stash of brand new toys at the hospital, nurses and specialists working Willow wrapped up gifts, including a doll, a game, books, Play-Doh and a bubble machine.

"I always wanted this!" Willow repeatedly exclaimed in a video after opening each gift.

When they presented Willow with a cake, she immediately took her hand that wasn't hindered by an IV line and scooped up some icing.

Her mother is seen on the video quietly crying as the staff sang "Happy Birthday" to her daughter. "The nurses were amazing. They're so wonderful," Stine said. "She got to be a toddler again."

Willow's diagnosis actually came a few days early because of Hurricane Irma.

On Thursday afternoon, Stine received a call from the pediatrician's office asking her to re-schedule Willow's 3-year old check up, which was supposed to be Monday. They asked her to come in later in the week after the storm had passed.

Stine hesitated. Willow hadn't seemed quite like herself lately, and she was very pale. She insisted on bringing Willow in the next day.

"My mommy intuition told me I couldn't wait," Stine said.

The pediatrician, who noticed a worrisome bruise on Willow's leg, sent her to a local emergency room. Doctors there sent Willow by ambulance to All Children's, where she was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia.

"It's the most heartbreaking, scariest, most knee-buckling worst news you can receive," Stein said.

She said Willow has been a trooper.

Although she doesn't like getting stuck with needles, she enjoys caring for her mother and stuffed animals. She puts a toy stethoscope -- another gift from the hospital -- on her mother's chest and tells her to breathe in and breathe out. She takes her stuffed animals' blood pressure with a toy cuff.

"She's just a happy kid," Stine said.

She's smart, her mother said. When a nurse came to tell her she'd be getting "an arm hug," Willow replied, "no -- that's blood pressure!"

Willow is scheduled to begin chemotherapy Wednesday, and will be in the hospital for at least another week after that.

In the meantime, her mother feels relieved that Irma weakened as it traveled up Florida's west coast toward her older daughter and husband.

"I'm feeling much more secure now," she said late Sunday night.

Irma's deflated path helps her stay resolute for her daughter. "You have to pull it together and be strong for your kids and be their rock, so that's what we're doing," she said.

A 5 year old Kentucky boy found dead after he was kidnapped and his mother was pushed off a cliff

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 5-year-old boy feared kidnapped after his mother had been pushed off a 100-foot cliff in Kentucky has been found dead nearby, and a man now faces murder charges, Kentucky State Police confirmed Monday afternoon.

The boy, James Spoonamore, had been missing for three days in Kentucky's Jackson County, WHAS reported.

An intense search for the child, who had just started school, was launched after his mother - 41-year-old Jessica Durham - was tossed from the cliff but survived with multiple broken bones on Friday. Hikers discovered her the following day.

Durham told investigators she and her son were assaulted and kidnapped by 41-year-old Lonnie Belt, who was arrested Saturday evening, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. The exact relationship between Belt and Durham was unclear.

According to court records, Belt told authorities that he got into an argument with Durham over money, before abducting the two. He reportedly said he tied up the mother and drove her to the top of the cliff -- and when he untied her there, she tried fighting back before he pushed her.

The revelations ignited a frantic search for Spoonamore over the weekend, with the assistance of volunteers, helicopters, the National Guard and K-9 units until the grim discovery Monday. An immediate cause of death for Spoonamore was not immediately given.

Belt has since been charged with murder, assault, kidnapping and tampering with physical evidence as the investigation continues.

Selena Gomez says she felt violated when she was a young televison star.She is now 25 years of age and says she felt more confident when she was younger than she does now,Saying it changed once she started getting known for more than just her work related things such as the relationship she had with Justin.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
By the age of 25, Selena Gomez has already achieved monumental success in multiple fields, first as a Disney star, then as a pop icon and now she's storming into the world of fashion, and the young star is opening up about her time in show business and how it's changed the way she thinks about her own life.

"I've been doing it since I was seven. To be honest, I don't think I know anything different," Gomez told The Business of Fashion in an interview published on Monday.

Reflecting on her years as a child star on the Disney Channel series The Wizards of Waverly Place, Gomez credits her mom, Mandy Teefey, for keeping her grounded, supporting her, and never falling into the so-called "stage mom" trap.

"She was very aware, for some reason, of what could happen to me," the actress recounted. "She always said to me that I should have fun, and if it wasn't fun or if I wasn't learning something or I wasn't growing as a person, she wanted to take me out of it."
