Amid new North Korean threats to test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean, President Trump tweeted Friday that the rogue regime's leader would be "tested like never before."

Trump, during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week, warned the U.S. would "totally destroy" North Korea if Pyongyang continued its provocative actions, leading North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to up the ante by calling Trump "deranged." North Korea escalated the situation further when the nation's foreign minister revealed Pyongyang could conduct the H-bomb test, and, between tweets about healthcare and "The Russia hoax," Trump fired back.

"Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!" Trump wrote.

The Yonhap news agency reported Thursday on the hydrogen bomb threat from North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Ri framed the possible new nuke test as a response to Trump's U.N. speech.

"This could probably mean the strongest hydrogen bomb test over the Pacific Ocean. Regarding which measures to take, I don't really know since it is what Kim Jong Un does," Ri said.

Such a test would be considered a major provocation by the U.S., South Korea and Japan. Ri was scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly on Saturday, a day later than previously scheduled.

Ri's comments followed Kim's extraordinary statement lashing out at Trump, vowing the American leader would "pay dearly" for his threat to destroy North Korea.

Kim's first-person statement was published by North Korea's state propaganda arm in response to Trump's fiery speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. South Korean media called it the first such direct address to the world by Kim.

Kim said Trump was "unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country." He also described the U.S. president as "a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire."

Some analysts saw Kim's statement as a clear announcement that North Korea would ramp up its already brisk pace of weapons testing, which has included missiles meant to target U.S. forces throughout Asia and the U.S. mainland.

On Tuesday, Trump mocked Kim as a "rocket man" on a "suicide mission," and said that if "forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."

Kim characterized Trump's speech to the world body as "mentally deranged behavior."

He said Trump's remarks "have convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that it is the one I have to follow to the last."

Kim said he was "thinking hard" about his response and that Trump "will face results beyond his expectation."

Happy homecoming: Jared Goff put on a show in Rams' win over 49ers

Goff played the best game of his NFL career on Thursday, 11 days after playing the best game of his NFL career. He carved up the same San Francisco 49ersteam he grew up rooting for, going 22-of-28 for 292 yards, three touchdowns and zero turnovers in a thrilling 41-39 win that went down as one of the most exciting Thursday night games ever. The Rams scored 40 points for the second time this season after managing only two 40-point games in their previous 10 seasons combined.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Jared Goff never got a chance to play here last year. The Los Angeles Rams opened their 2016 season at Levi's Stadium, and Goff, the No. 1 overall pick earlier that spring, was inactive, confined to street clothes with a plethora of family and friends watching from the stands. Goff was asked about that earlier this week and shook his head. He announced that he was "done" talking about last year.

"Last year was a whole different deal," Goff said, "and this year is exciting."

Is it ever.

Goff played the best game of his NFL career on Thursday, 11 days after playing the best game of his NFL career. He carved up the same San Francisco 49ers team he grew up rooting for, going 22-of-28 for 292 yards, three touchdowns and zero turnovers in a wild, thrilling 41-39 win in one of the most exciting Thursday night games ever. The Rams scored 40 points for the second time this season, after managing only two 40-point games in their previous 10 seasons combined.

And they almost gave it up.

Their defense allowed a winless 49ers team that didn't score a touchdown in its first two games to amass 421 net yards. Their special teams fumbled three times -- on a punt, on a kickoff and on an onside kick. It wasn't until Aaron Donald wrapped up Brian Hoyer for his first sack of the season that cemented the Rams' second win in three games. But if defense and special teams are your biggest concern about the Rams at this point, that is probably a good sign.

Their offense -- last in the NFL in yards each of the last two years and among the NFL's worst for about a decade -- continues to look very good.

Todd Gurley scored three touchdowns in the first half, giving him six on his first three games -- the same amount he had through 16 games last year. Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods had the breakout games they had been waiting on, combining for 12 catches for 217 yards for two touchdowns, both by Watkins. And the Rams' offense reached 100 points, the first time this franchise has reached triple digits through the first three games since 200.

Gurley gained 113 yards on 28 carries and added another 36 yards on five catches. Before halftime, he became the first player with six touchdowns in the first three games of a season since Calvin Johnson in 2011 -- and it was all set up by Goff moving the ball so efficiently and effectively.

* Statistics
* Scoreboard
* 2017 schedule, results
* Standings

It wasn't just the numbers Goff put up; it was the throws he made. On one play, he rolled to his right, threw on the run and fired a dart to Woods in a very tight window for a 31-yard gain. He then threw a perfect pass to Tyler Higbee on a post near the end zone that was dropped. He went over the top to Woods on the left sideline, setting up a tip-toe catch that went for 21 yards. He threw another dime to Cooper Kupp's back shoulder, but it was knocked away. He rolled to his left, opted against throwing to Kupp over the top, let the play develop, changed his arm angle and hit Woods short, allowing him to run for what became a 25-yard gain.

And he connected with Watkins for 47 yards downfield, a ball that looked like it was dropped into his receivers hands by a drone. It went down as the longest completion of Goff's career, but that wasn't even the most encouraging stat from the night.

This was: Goff completed 13 straight passes at one point, including his first 11 of the second half -- for a combined 155 yards and two touchdowns.

What a difference a year makes.

For more than one day and half of Mexico followed the rescue  effort of Frida Sofia. Frida Sofia reportedly of other children trapped under the rubble. Frida Sofia reported a child's hand waving but later when they lifted the rubble, no child was discovered.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The country watched Televisa's live-stream through the night, wide-eyed and praying that a 12-year-old girl named Frida Sofia would be pulled from the rubble of the Rebsamen elementary school in Mexico City, destroyed during Tuesday's earthquake.

For more than a day and a half Mexico followed the rescue effort of Frida Sofia, allegedly weakly clinging to life.

Frida Sofia reportedly knew of other children trapped in the rubble-anywhere from two to five. Frida Sofia reportedly moved her tiny hand. Frida Sofia reportedly said she was tired, though someone had given her liquids. Frida Sofia had allegedly been heard through a microphone fed through the rubble. She had reportedly waved her tiny hand.

"She moved her hand and moved Mexico's heart," people across the country tweeted, using the hashtag #FridaSofia.

But there was never a 12-year-old girl trapped in the rubble, alive, at this elementary school-much less alongside other tiny bodies clinging to life. Frida Sofia never existed, authorities confirmed Thursday afternoon.

After learning that Frida Sofia was perhaps actually an adult-perhaps a female janitor-the country is now outraged. The myth of Frida Sofia has died, as hundreds of people have across the region.

Though thermal sensors had detected a living being underneath the rubble, the media ran with wild speculation and comments made by rescue workers, that included reports that the young girl was moments from being rescued alive shortly past midnight on Wednesday.

Later, these reports-first shared by Televisa live on air-rang false as rescue workers who had previously believed the girl was trapped on what would have been the third floor of the building was actually stuck on what had been the second level of the school.Confusion is always high in times of natural disaster. But this case, most feel, was particularly egregious.

Tens of thousands sat glued to their televisions and computers watching the live coverage as Frida Sofia became the number one trending topic in Mexico and a symbol of hope for Mexico, a country dealing with two horrific earthquakes in less than two weeks. International news outlets also ran with the story of the little girl who would soon be saved.

As Televisa claimed the girl was just moments from being rescued, an alarm sounded-a minor earthquake in the southern state of Oaxaca caused the building to be evacuated and rescue efforts briefly halted.Then, moments later, as the rescue effort slowly resumed, portions of the demolished school began to collapse, sending plumes of dust into the air. Spectators watched in horror from the scene, and from their homes, and on streets across the country, as rescue workers took to the microphones asking for steel rods to be delivered to the site to prop up the rubble and avoid further disaster.

Fav si no te vas a descansar hasta el rescate de Frida Sofía y que la historia, lágrimas y esfuerzo de @daniellemx_ tenga un feliz final pic.twitter.com/tUPwyltYLb

Late Wednesday night, after speculation that the girl had spent more than 34 hours trapped under rubble, Mexican politician Aurelio Nuño in an interview with Televisa, Mexico's largest media company, said: "We've spent hours trying to contact the family and haven't been successful." He asked that families of the missing come to the scene. Confusion over whether the girl's name was in fact Frida Sofia began late Wednesday night, after news broke that all of the young girls named Sofia from the school were accounted for. Tweets alleging Frida Sofia had been rescued from the rubble were immediately discredited yet spread wide and far.

But by Thursday afternoon, when the Mexican Navy confirmed that Frida Sofia was not alive, and had not ever been, the apparent unity turned from well-intentioned spectator sport to collective finger-pointing.

"We are certain that all of the children either unfortunately lost their lives or are at the hospitals or are safe at home," said Ángel Enrique Sarmiento of the Mexican Navy on Thursday afternoon. "We just have some uncertainty about a janitorial worker who could possibly be the person who is leaving tracks and signs [of life]."

"There are signs that indicate that there may possibly still be one person alive," he said. "There are blood tracks and photographs, as if they had dragged themselves, that indicate one person may be alive."

But Mexicans are now outraged that they will not see this child pulled from the rubble-though there may still be dozens trapped under demolished buildings across the city.

By early Thursday morning-hours before news that Frida Sofia isn't real broke-speculation of deception was already high, and among the top trending topics in Mexico were "Monchito" and "Timmy O'Toole."The first is a reference to a weeklong search-and media event-for the so-called "ghost boy" of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed more than 10,000 people exactly 32 years before this Tuesday's quake. Like Frida Sofia, massive manpower went into the search for a boy whose body was never found and who may in fact never have existed. Timmy O'Toole is a reference to a 1992 episode of The Simpsons in which Bart Simpson dropped a walkie talkie down a well and pretended to be trapped, sparking a massive rescue effort that included an appearance from Sting, singing for the boy's benefit.

Hours later, Mexicans doubts about the Frida Sofia story were confirmed.

People in Mexico so distrust #Televisa, conspiracists compare rescue of 'Frida Sofia' to Bart Simpson in the well ep.-Timmy O'Toole mirage.
- Andrea Noel ϟ (@metabolizedjunk) September 21, 2017

At least 273 people in central Mexico have lost their lives as a result of the 7.1-magnitude quake, many of them children, and more than 2000 people have been injured across the region.

But for more than 24 hours, tens of thousands have been rallying behind the rescue effort hoping to pull the young "Frida Sofia" from the rubble. Mexicans are expressing utter outrage at the thought that the person possibly trapped under the rubble clinging to life is not the nonexistent child whom the country has been praying for.

But the rescue attempts, however misguided, have not been in vain. Eleven children have been rescued from the site, 19 children lost their lives, and 6 adults also died-the latest added to the tally was a woman's corpse, pulled from the destruction early Thursday morning.

Unfortunately for the country's sense of unity and faith, Televisa has a sticky history of manufacturing events and misinformation for a combination of ratings and the the sake of benefitting Mexico's political class. Televisa and Frida Sofia are now the number one and two trends in Mexico as citizens express their absolute loathing of the company and explain how they feel cheated and manipulated for the sake of ratings.

"We are absolutely shocked," Jovel Alvarez, a reporter at the scene, told Mexican journalist Carmen Aristegui, who has joined Mexicans in expressing indignation at the news. "We've been waiting to see how Televisa will react."

Televisa responded by demanding the Navy clarify. "During the entire Televisa broadcast from the Enrique Rebsamen school the information we've been sharing has been given to us or corroborated by the on-duty commander of the marine secretary."

"When we reported there was someone alive under the rubble, when we reported that it was a girl, when we reported that there were perhaps three, when we reported they were about to rescue her, in short, each detail at each stage of the broadcast was obtained by the Navy or corroborated by this institution," it read.

This latest event, whether due to the chaos of catastrophe or a genuine push to manufacture sympathy-as thousands in Mexico now believe-joins a long legacy of rightful mistrust toward Televisa, and already tens of thousands in Mexico are attributing the blunder to nefarious malevolence.

Although, technically, the country should be expressing some relief that Frida Sofia is neither dead nor has spent the past two days dying under rubble, they are understandably outraged that they have been duped into following a fake news story while others are still in dire need of assistance.

Hours pass and nightfall rapidly approaches once more, dimming hope that more survivors will be rescued.

In Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the incident occurred  Tuesday evening after an accident led Police officers to a house where Magdiel Sanchez who is 35, was outside on the porch. Sanchez was holding what it appeared to be a pipe that he uses to shew away stray dogs. The officers shot him when he was walking towards them and didn't know anything about him being deaf. Sanchez father was in the green truck but his son wasn't. Officer Barnes who is the officer who shot him is on paid administrative leave.

An Oklahoma City man was fatally shot by police as neighbors shouted that the man was deaf and could not hear officers' commands to drop a metal pipe he was holding, police said.

The incident occurred Tuesday evening after an accident led officers to a house where Magdiel Sanchez, 35, was outside on the porch, Oklahoma City Police Capt. Bo Mathews said at a press conference Wednesday.

The pipe Sanchez was carrying had been fashioned into a fairly large weapon, like a club, Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty said in a press conference Thursday afternoon. The pipe had been tied to Sanchez's wrist so that it wouldn't come out of his hand when used, Citty said.

Officers were acting on information from a witness who told police where they could find a green truck allegedly involved in the accident, in which the truck hit something and drove off. No person was struck in the collision.

Sanchez's family has hired Oklahoma City lawyer Melvin Hall, who represented the family of police-shooting victim Terrance Crutcher in 2016, to represent them, according to local ABC affiliate KOCO. Hall plans to hold a news conference with the family and local Catholic and Hispanic organizations Friday afternoon to bring further attention to the incident.

The shooting took place after police Lt. Matthew Lindsey arrived at the location identified by the witness and found a green truck allegedly matching the description from the accident parked there.

Sanchez was on the porch of the home when he advanced to the front yard holding what Mathews said was a pipe in his right hand.

The police officer called for backup, and another officer, Sgt. Christopher Barnes, arrived, after which both officers shouted to Sanchez to drop the pipe he was carrying as he proceeded forward, Mathews said.

The officers didn't hear neighbors at the scene yelling to them that Sanchez couldn't hear them, Mathews said.

"As he started going toward these officers with a pipe in his hand, the officers discharged their weapons," Mathews said.

KOCO

Lindsey fired his stun gun at the suspect, and Barnes shot his gun, hitting Sanchez.

The stun gun did not work because only one of the prongs hit Sanchez, Citty said, adding that, in training, officers working in pairs are taught to first use a stun gun, but the second officer provides cover with a gun in case the stun gun doesn't work.

Mathews said Sanchez received medical attention after he was shot, but was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sanchez's neighbor, Julio Rayos, 37, told ABC News that Sanchez would "always" carry the pipe with him, mainly to shoo away the stray dogs that would roam the Shields-Davis neighborhood, south of downtown Oklahoma City.

Rayos, who said he has lived in the neighborhood for 13 years, described Sanchez as a "real good guy" whom "everybody knew."

"He didn't deserve to die like that," Rayos said.

The officers on the scene had not yet been issued body cameras, Citty said, adding that he hopes to have every officer outfitted with one by the end of October.

Barnes, the officer who used the gun, is on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, Mathews said.

Barnes is a sergeant and has been with the department for at least five years, Citty said. Police have interviewed the lieutenant who deployed the stun gun, but Barnes has not yet been interviewed because he wants his attorney to be present.

Sanchez's father, who had allegedly been the driver of the green truck in the accident, confirmed after the shooting that his son was deaf, Mathews said. The son was not involved in the accident, he said.

Sanchez's father will likely face misdemeanor charges for the accident, which Citty described as fairly serious. The vehicle that Sanchez's father allegedly hit rolled over, and the victim inside that car suffered minor injuries.

Sanchez's father did not have a driver's license, which is allegedly why he fled, Citty said.

Sanchez had to have been aware that they were police officers because they were in full uniform and drove marked vehicles to the home, Citty said.

In addition to Sanchez's hearing disability, his father could not speak English, Citty said. The police department has reached out to the Oklahoma Association for the Deaf for suggestions on how to improve training for officers when dealing with deaf people in the future, Citty said.

Sue Ogrocki/AP

KOCO obtained cellphone video from a neighbor of Sanchez who said the footage was taken moments after the shooting. The neighbor, Julio Rayos, told the station that he screamed at officers that Sanchez was deaf. Rayos said he believes Sanchez may have been confused by the encounter with police.

Rayos told The Oklahoman on Wednesday that in addition to being deaf, Sanchez was developmentally disabled and didn't speak, communicating mainly through hand movements. Rayos said he believes Sanchez became frustrated by trying to communicate with the police.

"The guy does movements," Rayos told the newspaper. "He don't speak, he don't hear, mainly it is hand movements. That's how he communicates. I believe he was frustrated trying to tell them what was going on."

During Aaron Hernandez's autopsy Dr. Ann Mckee found that he had a severe case of CTE. CTE can only be found through autopsy, In Hernandez's case his was a 3 out of 4 (4 being the worse). A lawsuit filed in District Court claimed the the Patriots failed to protect him. And they also failed to tell the players about the dangers of football. The league will pay 1 billion dollars to all retired players that said that they mislead them about the dangers of football.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Aaron Hernandez's lawyer says the former New England Patriots tight end's brain showed severe signs of the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

In a news conference at his offices, attorney Jose Baez says testing showed that Hernandez had a severe case of the disease.

CTE can be caused by repeated head trauma and leads to symptoms like violent mood swings, depression and other cognitive difficulties. Hernandez killed himself in April in the jail cell where he was serving a life-without-parole sentence for a 2013 murder. His death came just hours before the Patriots visited the White House to celebrate their latest Super Bowl victory.

CTE can only be diagnosed in an autopsy. A recent study found evidence of the disease in 110 of 111 former NFL players whose brains were examined.

CTE has been linked with repeated concussions and involves brain damage particularly in the frontal region that controls many functions including judgment, emotion, impulse control, social behavior and memory.

A star for the University of Florida when it won the 2008 title, Hernandez dropped to the fourth round of the NFL draft because of trouble in college that included a failed drug test and a bar fight. His name had also come up in an investigation into a shooting.

In three seasons with the Patriots, Hernandez joined Rob Gronkowski to form one of the most potent tight end duos in NFL history. In 2011, his second season, Hernandez caught 79 passes for 910 yards and seven touchdowns to help the team reach the Super Bowl, and he was rewarded with a $40 million contract.

But the Patriots released him in 2013, shortly after he was arrested in the killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee. Hernandez was convicted and sentenced to life in prison; the conviction was voided because he died before his appeals were exhausted, though that decision is itself being appealed.

A week before his suicide, Hernandez was acquitted in the 2012 drive-by shootings of two men in Boston. Prosecutors had argued that Hernandez gunned the two men down after one accidentally spilled a drink on him in a nightclub, and then got a tattoo of a handgun and the words "God Forgives" to commemorate the crime.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A 4-year-old boy is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in Kansas City. The shooting happened just after noon Thursday at an apartment complex near Blue Ridge Cutoff & 61st Street. Police say the little boy got a hold of his dad's gun and shot himself.

FOX 4 has learned the child's father was not in the room when the little boy got his gun and fired it. Neighbors say at least one other small child was home when the incident happened.

"I heard a bunch of screaming and crying then I looked out my back porch and there were a bunch of cops here," said Phillip Boyd.

Phillip Boyd lives at the Trails at the Ridge apartment complex. Those chilling sounds came from the apartment next door to his.

"I went out there and started talking to the cops and figured out that a little 4-year-old boy got shot," said Boyd.

Police are still trying to piece together how the little boy got a hold of the gun. But investigators say the weapon was not secured.

"You have got to protect your child. If you're going to have a firearm, which we don't have a problem with, have that firearm in the home and please protect your children. Please use a gun lock. Use a gun safe," said Kari Thompson, public information officer with the Kansas City Police Department.

Police also encourage you to be open with your kids about guns.

"Give them education on the reasons why you have the gun and what it's there for. By helping them with their curiosity, it possibly could help them to not touch it, to not try to look at it or anything like that," Thompson said.

Those are lessons the family in Thursday's incident are learning the hard way. Thankfully, the little boy was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

"Just hoping and praying he'll be okay. Strong little boy. So he'll probably make it through," said Boyd.

If you'd like to secure your weapons, nearly every local police department and sheriff's office has gun locks available for free.

a teacher took down a gunman (highschool student) at mattoon highschool

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A teacher took down a gunman inside an Illinois high school after he opened fire in the school's cafeteria on Wednesday. Police say Angela McQueen's quick response saved lives. A 16-year-old student was shot and later released from the hospital, and the suspect, who the police said was a student, is in custody.

The shooter, whose identity was being withheld since he is a minor, acted alone at Mattoon High School.

As students there return for classes Thursday morning, they'll find their belongings exactly how they left them as they dropped everything when shots rang out, reports CBS News' Tony Dokoupil.

More than 100 police officers raced toward the chaos at Mattoon High School just after 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Students and faculty running for safety reported a shooter in the school's cafeteria.

"It was one of the scariest things that could happen," said Braeton Davis, one of the students in the cafeteria when another student opened fire. His knuckles were grazed in the shooting. "That's when I looked left, and I saw the person holding the gun, and then they fired three to five more shots," Davis said. A second student was struck by as many as two gunshots but survived.

"If that teacher had not responded as quickly as they had, I think the situation would've been a lot different," said Mattoon police chief Jeff Branson. "He still had his finger on the trigger, and it was flying up and hitting the ceiling," said Alexis Perry, who saw the confrontation unfold. Even after overwhelming the shooter, Anna Morton watched as McQueen continued checking on others. "She was walking around and making sure everything was OK. And I went up and gave her a hug and thanked her because she could have- that could have been a lot worse and she made it to where it wasn't," Morton said.

This is reportedly the fifth shooting to strike a central Illinois high school in just the past four weeks.

Hope, at rescue scenes across the country, is measured in silence.

Twenty-two hours after the 7.1 quake crashed through central Mexico, the sounds of a thousand people speaking, heavy machinery moving, and tractors dumping debris all come to an instantaneous halt as rescuers in the rubble of a collapsed school listen for signs of life.

Twenty-four hours after the earthquake, the urgency and sense of hope was palpable. Emergency officials were specific and certain that someone was communicating with them from below. Local news outlets reported that an 8-year-old girl named Frida was there, buried and talking. They had gotten a hose to her to provide water and they were in constant communication.

In the middle of it all, a huge cheer went up: "Dos vivo!" Two alive and presumably buried in the rubble. Rescuers seemed to be onto the right place where two or more people could be alive.

As night fell, a heavy rain came with it, but the pace of activity quickened into a near-frenzy with calls for the serious pain killer fentanyl, stretchers, and oxygen. Doctors and several ambulances arrived within minutes.

It felt like good news in the form of a dust-covered child would come at any moment.

By morning, now nearly 48 hours since the quake, the pace was still in high gear, and the level of organization matched.

Volunteers waited in helmets and gloves so they could take their turn on a human chain handing bricks, debris and materials from the point of rescue to waiting dump trucks. It was a well oiled machine working at full capacity, in the hope that one more person may live.

Fifty hours after the quake, everything changed -- a photocopied statement from a sub-secretary of the Mexican Navy, which had been managing the scene, announced that all children attending the Enrique Rébsamen school were accounted for.

Nineteen were dead, another 11 had been pulled from the rubble in the first 24 hours and all others were either in the hospital or safe and sound at home.

Officials insist that someone might still be down there alive. They said they heard sounds, but it wasn't clear whether those sounds were human or just the building settling and further collapsing.

Fifty-six hours after the earth moved and changed lives across Mexico, the moments of silence dropped off. Maybe one an hour, and then only for a minute or two.

The hum of machinery, of a thousand people talking and dump trucks rumbling continued. The business of rescue and recovery continued. But the silence was nearly gone, and hope along with it.

A 12-year-old girl has collected thousands of pairs of silly socks for her friends staying in the hospital where she receives chemotherapy.

Emma Becker has been a patient for 4 years at Connecticut Children's Medical Center (CCMC) in Hartford for neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition that causes tumors in her optic nerves and brain.

To cheer up her fellow patients, Emma asked Facebook users to donate socks to her special fundraiser, in honor of her Aug. 11 birthday this year.

"She said giving back to the other kids makes her happy," Emma's mom, Rebecca Donkor of Higganum, Connecticut, told ABC News. "She has a strong social media presence and thankfully people back her, and help her spread joy."

Rebecca Donkor

Donkor, a mother of two, said her duaghter Emma came up with the idea to host a sock drive in lieu of kids receiving the hospital-issued socks they typically handed out to new patients at CCMC.

Emma has collected more than 2,300 pairs of fun, silly socks for children ages infant to teenager.

"It's something fun they can look down at, and smile," Donkor said, adding that Emma still has two boxes of socks to open.

Rebecca Donkor

Monica Buchanan, director of corporate communications at CCMC, described Emma as a "thoughtful and caring young lady."

"It takes a special person to put the needs of others before their own," Buchanan wrote to ABC News in an email. "To see Emma give back to the patients at Connecticut Children's Medical Center is the perfect illustration of everything that is right in the world. We can't thank her enough for her 'silly sock' donation!"

Despite battling her own illness, Emma's many good deeds for her friends have included collecting 10,000 cans of Play-Doh, hosting multiple toy drives and using money earned from a lemonade stand to buy $300 in iTunes gift cards.

Rebecca Donkor

"We try and turn this into a positive thing and tell her that she's been going through this journey to make a difference in the world, which she's been doing ever since," Donkor said.

For her next project, Emma hopes to collect Halloween costumes for her friends at the hospital.

Underage teens were playing beer-pong and they put the cups in the shape of a Swastika and a Star of David. They played the game in after school hours at the St. Teresa's Academy. They posted a picture of the cups on SnapChat and the school went into the underage drinking and has looked into it and say it's completely unacceptable.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
St. Teresa's Academy disciplined students this week after pictures shared with school administrators showed them posed at a party with a swastika made with beer pong cups.

The images depict a group of girls posing in front of a table with beer pong cups arranged in the shape of a swastika. One of the pictures is captioned, "Girls night!"

The party occurred off school property and after school hours, St. Teresa's Academy said in a statement that was sent to parents Thursday, according to KCUR.

"We investigated the underage drinking as well as the potential for racial discrimination," the statement said. "We also involved the KC Police Dept. Internal and external investigations concluded that this is a case of inappropriate and unlawful underage drinking."

The statement also said that the students were disciplined in accordance with school policy.

St. Teresa's is a private Catholic school for girls in Kansas City. It was founded in 1866.

The pictures appear to be taken off the social media application, Snapchat, and were shared with the administration by a student, said Kathleen Pointer, who graduated from the school in 2007.

Pointer said news of the incident is starting to circulate among graduates of the school, some of whom have questioned whether students deserved to be disciplined more harshly and why the school didn't speak out about the incident sooner.

"It's disheartening to see the school not respond more strongly and more openly.I would hope that parents of potential students and potential students could look at St Theresa and see it being a safe space," Pointer said to The Star.

"But when a school doesn't respond strongly to students supporting hate symbols, I would imagine a lot of students, parents and potential students wouldn't feel safe."

a autistic (no not jokingly as all of you believe autism is a joke) boy is using Siri to understand how the world works.
Autism is a mental desorter that impairs communication NOT INTELLIGENCE.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I know I'm a bad mother, but how bad? I wonder for the hundredth time as I watch Gus deep in conversation with Siri.

Obsessed with weather formations, Gus has spent the last hour parsing the difference between isolated and scattered thunderstorms - an hour when, thank God, I don't have to discuss them.

After a while I hear this:

Gus: You're a really nice computer.
Siri: It's nice to be appreciated.
Gus: You are always asking if you can help me. Is there anything you want?
Siri: Thank you, but I have very few wants.
Gus: OK! Well, goodnight!
Siri: Ah . . . It's 5.06 p.m.
Gus: Oh, sorry. I mean, goodbye.
Siri: See you later!

That Siri. She doesn't let my communication-impaired son get away with anything. Indeed, many of us always wanted an imaginary friend - and now we have one. Only she's not entirely imaginary.

This is a love letter to a machine. It's not quite the love Joaquin Phoenix felt in "Her," the Spike Jonze film about a lonely man who has a romantic relationship with his intelligent operating system (played by the voice of Scarlett Johansson.) But it's close. In a world where the commonly held wisdom is that technology isolates us, it's worth considering another side of the story.

It all began simply enough. I'd just read one of those ubiquitous internet lists called 21 Things You Didn't Know Your iPhone Could Do. One of them was this: I could ask Siri, "What planes are above me right now?" and Siri would bark back, "Checking my sources." Almost instantly there is a list of actual flights - numbers, altitudes, angles - of planes above my head.

I happened to be doing this when Gus was nearby, playing with his Nintendo DS. "Why would anyone need to know what planes are flying above their head?" I muttered. Gus replied without looking up, "So you know who you're waving at, Mommy." It was then that I began to suspect maybe some of the people who worked on Siri were on the spectrum too. (Fun fact: Dag Kitlauss, the original co-founder and CEO of Siri, is from Norway and reportedly named the app after Siri Kalvig, a beautiful Norwegian meteorologist; Kitlauss has mentioned in interviews that he is "a total weather freak.")

Gus had never noticed Siri before, but when he discovered there was someone who would not just find information on his various obsessions - trains, buses, escalators and, of course, anything related to weather - but actually semi-discuss these subjects tirelessly, he was hooked. And I was grateful. Now, when I would rather stick forks in my eyes than have another conversation about the chance of tornadoes in Kansas City, Missouri, I could reply brightly, "Hey! Why don't you ask Siri?"

And not only would Siri happily give him tornado reports for the entire Midwest, but upon being thanked she'd chirp back, "I live to serve."

It's not that Gus believes Siri is human. He understands she isn't - intellectually. But like many autistic people I know, Gus feels that inanimate objects, while maybe not possessing souls, are still worthy of consideration. I realized this when he was 8 and I got him an iPod for his birthday. He listened to it only at home - with one exception. It always came with us on our visits to the Apple store. Finally, I asked why. "So it can visit its friends," he said.

So how much more worthy of his care and affection is Siri, with her soothing voice, charm, helpfulness, puckish humor and capacity for talking about whatever Gus's current obsession is for hour after hour after bleeding hour?

Siri is also wonderful for someone who doesn't pick up on social cues: Siri's responses are not entirely predictable, but they are predictably kind - even when Gus is brusque. I heard him talking to Siri about music and Siri offered some suggestions. "I don't like that kind of music," Gus snapped. "You're certainly entitled to your opinion," Siri replied. Siri's politeness reminded Gus what he owed Siri. "Thank you for that music, though," Gus said. "You don't need to thank me," Siri replied.

"Oh yes," Gus replied emphatically, "I do." Siri even encourages polite language. When Henry egged Gus on to spew a few choice expletives at Siri, she replied, "Now, now. I'll pretend I didn't hear that."

My son's practice conversation with Siri is translating into more facility with actual humans. Recently I had the longest conversation with him that I've ever had. Admittedly, it was about different species of turtle and whether I preferred the red-eared slider to the diamondback terrapin. This might not have been my choice of topic, but it was back and forth and it followed a logical trajectory and I can promise you that for most of my beautiful son's years of existence that has not been the case.

Developers of intelligent assistants have already recognized their uses to those with speech and communication problems - and some are thinking of new ways the assistants can help.

It is a slow process, but I am accepting that the things that give my guy happiness are not necessarily the same things that give me happiness. Right now, at a time when humans can be a little overwhelming even for the average kid, Siri makes Gus happy. She is his sidekick. One night as he was going to bed there was this matter-of-fact exchange:

Gus: Siri, will you marry me?
Siri: I'm not the marrying kind.
Gus: I mean, not now. I'm a kid. I mean when I'm grown up.
Siri: My end user agreement does not include marriage.
Gus: Oh, OK.

Gus didn't sound too disappointed. This was useful information to have - and for me too since it was the first time I knew that he had actually thought about marriage. He turned over to go to sleep:

Gus: Goodnight, Siri. Will you sleep well tonight?
Siri: I don't need much sleep, but it's nice of you to ask.

Taking down Confederate monuments has now moved to cemeteries. The gravestones and monuments are being taken out of the cemeteries.Tons of people don't agree with this because some of them have loved ones who are buried under the word of "confederacy or confederate."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MADISON, Wis. - One by one, Confederate monuments are coming down from their perches in front of courthouses, in public squares, along city boulevards.

Now opponents to the memorials are looking through cemetery gates for more.

Local officials and residents, outraged by the violence in Charlottesville, Va., last month and determined to clear their cities of markers that glorify the Confederacy, are pushing for the removal of Confederate monuments that have adorned the graves of soldiers for decades.

In the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, a six-foot granite monument with a bronze plaque dating to 1925 was covered with a tarp and whisked away in the middle of the night after activists called for its removal and spray-painted the word "No" on its back.

The mayor of West Palm Beach, Fla., ordered a Confederate memorial taken out of a city-operated cemetery in August. In Columbus, Ohio, vandals recently decapitated a statue of a Confederate soldier in a cemetery, leaving city officials scrambling to respond.

Days after the protests in Charlottesville, Paul Soglin, the mayor of Madison, directed that a plaque honoring the Confederacy inside Forest Hill Cemetery, a city-owned property near the University of Wisconsin campus, be removed. The city council will soon consider whether to take out another, larger memorial in the cemetery that is dedicated to Confederate soldiers.

But even in this liberal college town, the push to remove the memorial has spurred some to ask if the movement has gone too far.

"I've gotten a few emails saying, 'Leave it alone,'" said Marsha Rummel, the president of the city council. "The soldiers are there, and they did live lives."

The calls to remove the monument in Madison, and other monuments like it, have given rise to questions of the place of Confederate memorials and cemeteries in daily life: Is a monument in a cemetery really on public display? Though most people rarely enter cemeteries, are their contents - statues, monuments and plaques - subject to scrutiny by people in the community? While a Confederate statue in a busy town square honors the dead, does a monument in a tranquil, little-trafficked cemetery have the same effect?

"These are markers to a person's grave," said David Sloane, a historian at the University of Southern California who has written two books on cemeteries. "Cemetery memorials do have a different meaning than a symbolic public memorial on the highways and byways of the city or in a public park."

The monument targeted for removal, boxy and carved from a smooth gray granite, is engraved with the names of dozens of soldiers, mostly men who were imprisoned and died at nearby Camp Randall during the Civil War. It stands prominently in front of the men's graves, their names chiseled on their headstones in simple block letters - C. A. Hollingsworth, H. Faulks and L. Galloway among them - alongside their regiments and home states, frequently Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi. (Those who favor removing the monument say they have no intention of altering the gravestones.)

Three separate city council committees intend to study the memorial, which was installed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy around 1931 and also honors a local woman who regularly tended the graves, and make recommendations on what to do with it - whether to alter the structure, remove it entirely or append more information to it to give visitors greater context. Ms. Rummel said she favored its removal, reasoning that the cemetery "is not a town square, but it is a public space."

Mr. Soglin initially believed that it should be removed, but said he has changed his mind.

"The more we've had this discussion and the more ignorance I witness in regard to this period of our history, the more I'm convinced it should be left and a plaque giving an accurate description of this era of the black codes, of Jim Crow, be told," he said. "We want to educate Americans about the Civil War and its aftermath."

On a quiet, tree-lined street of houses that borders Forest Hill Cemetery, residents said they had been mulling the issue.

Standing in the backyard of a two-story Tudor where he has lived for 30 years, Rod McKenzie, a retired engineer, pointed over his fence to the grassy lawn of Forest Hill, lined with small grave markers.

"My backyard neighbors are the Union soldiers," he said, adding that only steps away from the remains of Union soldiers is the granite monument honoring the Confederate soldiers.

"I'm happy to see it go," Mr. McKenzie, 68, said, noting that it was erected decades after the Civil War had ended. "The graves will be much as they were when they were buried here."

Susanne Boucher, a manager at Di Rienzo Monuments, whose storefront faces the cemetery, said she was initially surprised that anyone would care what is on display there. "I thought it was overreacting," she said, sitting behind her desk in the small shop.

But she later shifted her view, she said, reasoning that as a white woman, she cannot fully understand the pain of the Civil War and racism. "Who am I to say how someone who is black should feel about these monuments?" she asked. Madison is about 79 percent white and seven percent black.

There are countless monuments to the Confederacy in cemeteries across the country, memorials that went up over a period of 150 years, historians said.

"The cemeteries until this point hadn't really attracted the same kind of attention," said Michael T. Bernath, an associate professor of history at the University of Miami. "But now, everything Confederate is being called into question."

The Madison city council is expected to decide the Confederate memorial's fate in the coming weeks.

"Personally, I think it needs to be removed and placed in a state historical museum, or maybe there needs to be additional information right next to it," said Shiva Bidar-Sielaff, a council member. "What is this marker about? What happened? At the very least, we should provide some background information."

While Madison ponders whether to remove its monument, other cities continued to debate the presence of Confederate memorials in other, more public spaces.

In Lexington, Ky., city officials said last week they favored removing two statues of John Hunt Morgan, a Confederate general, and John C. Breckinridge, a Confederate secretary of war, that have stood in front of the city courthouse for more than a century.

They are expected to be moved to a nearby cemetery.

A 4-year-old Florida girl has died after accidentally pulling the trigger of a gun in her grandmother's purse she was looking for candy.

Yanelly "Nelly" Zoller died on Sept. 14 at the Tampa home of her grandparents, Michael and Christie Zoller, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

"She just wanted some damn candy," her father Shane Zoller, 22, told the newspaper on Wednesday.

Shane said he saw police activity when he came to pick her up on the day of the accident.

The father said that Nelly spent much of her time with her grandparents. He explained that he would have had to drop out of high school if his parents had not pitched in to help raise her.

"She was extremely close to them and would get so excited when she got to stay at her nana's house," he said. "She was attached to her nana's hip."

Tampa police told the newspaper they are investigating the case, but have no reason to doubt the family's story.

Shane - who shared custody of Nelly with her mother, the Associated Press reports - said that Nelly loved to help him work on the car.

"She would hand me tools," he said. But she also really liked doing her makeup."

Shane has one other child and is expecting another, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The family mourned the girl's death on social media.

"My beautiful nana's girl fly high with those angels," Christie, the grandmother, posted on Facebook with a photo of her granddaughter. "Rest with God pop tart."

The family is raising money for Nelly's funeral costs on crowdfunding websites GoFundMe.com and YouCaring.com.

"Small donations add up to a big donation," the description on the YouCaring page reads.

"Please help this family give their beautiful Angel a farewell service. Let's help take away some of the financial pressure of the sudden and expectant loss of a baby, a 4 year old, who is now a beautiful Angel with wings in Heaven."

These aren't your ordinary middle school girls' bathrooms.

The colorful messages covering the walls at Fayetteville Academy in North Carolina are spreading positivity, inspiring the girls to "be kind always."

Shari Jackson Link, a local artist and mom of two, said she painted the motivational bathroom murals because of the "drama that comes with middle school."

"I thought to myself, if a little girl is coming into the bathroom, she needs to know to not be a bully, but also be OK if she is bullied. I wanted the murals to talk to both sets," Link told ABC News. "It's not only, 'Hey, you're beautiful on the inside,' but I also wanted inspire them to be nice to others. It would be hard to leave those bathrooms and be mean to someone."

Link's children don't attend this school, but she was contacted by a parent of a current student who does.

"She said, 'I'd like to hire you to paint some motivational quotes,'" Link recalled. "She gave me the freedom to do whatever I want. I attached some pretty colorful visuals to the quotes which were inspiring."

And boy did they take off. Photos of her creative final product have garnered nearly 65,000 shares on Link's Facebook page.

The head of school, Ray Quesnel, said the paintings "strike a chord with everyone."

"We've all been through middle school, and I don't care where you are or who you are, it doesn't matter, that's just a hard time of life," Quesnel told ABC News. "Everybody can remember back to good stuff, but everyone remembers tough things too."

He was thrilled to have Link liven up the boring bathrooms by sending positive messages to his students.

"We thought it would be a nice, pick-me-up, quaint thing, and it just resonated with virtually everybody," he said of the school's positive messages. "It's been really cool."

Link is painting the middle school boys' bathrooms and the elementary school bathrooms next week.

"I hope it inspires them to be comfortable in their own skin, realize that there is always a reason to smile, and most importantly, to see the power in simple acts of kindness towards others," she said

A suburban Chicago college football player told police five of his teammates duct-taped his hands and feet and attempted to sodomize him with an object before dumping him half-naked in an off-campus park.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A suburban Chicago college football player told police five of his teammates duct-taped his hands and feet and attempted to sodomize him with an object before dumping him half-naked in an off-campus park.

The DuPage County State's Attorney's office announced Monday the players from Wheaton College, a Christian school, are charged with aggravated battery, mob action and unlawful restraint.

A judge signed arrest warrants and set $50,000 bonds for the players, who are expected to turn themselves in.

Kyler Kregel, 21, a senior, of Grand Rapids, Michigan surrendered to police Tuesday evening, authorities told The Associated Press. The other players are expected at the Wheaton Police Department sometime this week. State's attorney spokesman Paul Darrah said the most serious charge - aggravated battery - carries a maximum sentence of two to five years in prison.

Terry Ekl, an attorney representing the victim, who has not been identified, told the AP his client was attacked on March 19, 2016, while he was watching basketball on television in his dorm room on campus. Ekl said the teammates tackled the man, bound his hands behind his back with duct tape, put a pillowcase over his head and punched him when he yelled at them to stop.

Ekl said the student, a freshman at the time who is now 20 years old, alleges the five accused men put him in the back seat of a car. With Middle Eastern music playing, he said, they made offensive comments about Muslims and told him that he was being kidnapped by Muslims who wanted to have sex with goats and that he would be their "goat" for the night.

He also said they "were dragging him behind by his arms," and pulled him so hard that he tore the labrum in both shoulders so severely he required at least two operations to repair the damage.

After the attack, the victim drove himself to a hospital where he was treated for his injuries. Ekl said an emergency room nurse called police. He said his client left campus the next day and returned home to Indiana, where he's attending college.

Wheaton College spokeswoman LaTonya Taylor said in an emailed statement to the Chicago Sun-Times the college strives to provide an educational environment that is free of hazing and "practices our values as a Christian community," and was therefore "deeply troubled" by the accusations.

Taylor added the college, located about 30 miles west of Chicago, took "swift action" to investigate the allegations after the incident was brought to administrators' attention by other football team members and coaches.

The school also hired an independent, third-party investigator to look into the accusations and took "a range of corrective actions," Taylor told the newspaper. The school said "disciplinary measures" were taken but declined to elaborate, citing "federal student privacy protections."

Ekl told the AP the players were required to perform community service and write an eight-page essay about the incident but were not initially suspended from the team.

Wheaton Police Chief Deputy Bill Murphy said there were a number of reasons why the investigation took more than a year. He said several interviews had to be conducted, and medical records had to be obtained. Also, he said because the students all reside outside Illinois, the interviews that began before the end of the school year could not conclude until the students returned to class in the fall.

The students being sought on arrest warrants are 22-year-old James Cooksey of Jacksonville, Fla.; 21-year-old Benjamin Pettway of Lookout Mountain, Ga.; 21-year-old Noah Spielman of Columbus, Ohio; and 22-year-old Samuel TeBos of Allendale, Mich.

All are listed on the team roster, and three of them played in the game that the No. 4-ranked Division III team played on Saturday, according to the Chicago Tribune. Spielman is the son of Chris Spielman, an All-American linebacker at Ohio State and All-Pro linebacker in the NFL who spent the bulk of his career with the Detroit Lions.
