After surviving the deadliest mass shooting in recent U.S. history, a California woman returned home only to have it destroyed a week later by the region's devastating wildfires.

Michelle Flores, 51, told Fox-KTVU she saw the glow of a fire as she approached her home in Santa Rosa days after the concert. She had been staying with her parents while preparing a move to another part of the city.

She evacuated her parents but stayed behind with firefighters to try and save her family home, Fox 8 reported. Flores, who has worked as firefighter and paramedic, was able to tune into a dispatch service which allowed responders to hear her street name.

Flores left the property around 4:30 a.m. only to return to a burnt down home with almost all of her belongings destroyed.

Flores told KTVU that she's been compartmentalizing things since surviving the Las Vegas massacre that killed 58 concert-goers on Oct. 1.

Now a flight attendant, Flores flew to Las Vegas where she booked a night at the Hooter's Hotel and stood outside a fence to watch the Route 91 Harvest Festival.

Despite dealing with two diffiicult tragedies, she remains optimistic.

"Right now, I'm in this space where things need to get done," Flores said. "And I'll deal with the rest later on."

Woman gives birth on US Navy ship.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The sound of two bells rang through the loud speakers of the U.S. Navy's floating hospital on Saturday to celebrate the arrival of a newborn baby girl.

The Navy's USNS Comfort was sailing in the vicinity of San Juan, Puerto Rico -- providing medical assistance throughout a region devastated by Hurricane Maria -- when baby Sara Victoria Llull Rodriguiz made her arrival on board.

"I never thought that our special moment would happen here on this ship," Sara's father, Francisco Llull Vera, said in a statement Sunday. "Everyone has been so helpful and gentle while caring for our baby. I hope this opens the door for those who still need help to seek out the Comfort."

Vera said Sara's 6-year-old brother Alonzo and 4-year-old sister Sofia, currently staying with family ashore in Puerto Rico, are anxiously waiting to meet her.

"They are so excited to meet her," Sara's mother, Tania Rodriguiz Ramos said in a statement Sunday. "It's a huge blessing for Sara to be here. I owe everything to the doctors and nurses and everyone onboard."

Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello went to visit baby Sara on Sunday. He shared pictures of him cradlling the baby in his arms, with her doctor and parents standing nearby. Rossello said Sara was "the first Puerto Rican girl born" on the USNS Comfort.

The USNS Comfort, which currently has 21 people on board, has treated more than 100 patients since Maria made landfall last month, killing at least 48 people and knocking out power for most of the island.

Nearly 4 weeks after the storm hit, about 85 percent of power customers are still without electricity and about 31 of customers lack access to potable water, officials said Sunday. The death toll was raised by three over the weekend and about 111 people missing due to the storm.

Comfort Capt. Kevin Robinson said Sara, who weighed in at 6 pounds and 8 ounces, brought a sense of joy to the crew.

"I think the birth of that little girl has reinvigorated the crew," Robinson said in a statement.

The last birth aboard Comfort occurred on Jan. 21, 2010, while the ship was providing humanitarian relief in support of Operation Unified Response following a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that caused severe damage in Haiti, according to the Navy.

The ship's crew commemorated the occasion by ceremoniously renaming one of its two small boat tenders the "Sara Victoria."

"We wanted to do something special, the crew has taken to the baby as one of our own," Comfort Ship's Master Roger Gwinn Gwinn said in a statement. "As she goes forward in life, we hope she carries Comfort with her."

A woman died in her husbands arms while hiding from the California fires in there swimming pool.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The longtime married couple were there for hours overnight, breathing and praying together, as the blaze roared around them.

Once the fires finally passed, Armando Berriz climbed out, shaken but alive. Carmen, his wife of 55 years, didn't make it.

"Everybody loved her," Monica Ocon said of her mother, 75, who died in her husband's arms early Monday morning amid the fires that have ravaged the Northern California wine country. "This loss has affected family and friends around the world."

Ocon, her husband, her daughter and her parents, Armando and Carmen, were enjoying a vacation in Santa Rosa to celebrate her parents' birthdays. Much of Sunday afternoon was spent by the pool, playing games and swapping stories.

Luis Ocon, Monica's husband, told CNN's Dan Simon that his in-laws "just love to be with family."

"It's their thing," he said. "They want to keep everyone together, staying united."

They played some board games that evening before heading off to bed, Monica Ocon said. They hadn't smelled any smoke or seen any sign of a fire.

Around 1 a.m., Luis Ocon said he turned out the lights and noticed the red glow of embers outside. He got up to take a closer look.

Seconds later, he watched as an ember hit a patch of grass in the front yard and burst into flames.

"It was like an explosion," he said. "It just lit up." By the time the family left the house moments later, the fire had surrounded them.

"It's hard to explain unless you were there," Luis said. "It went from embers to complete engulfment, completely around us, in 30 seconds, 40 seconds at most."

Luis took one car, followed by Monica and her daughter in another and the Berrizes in a third car. The family began to caravan down from the ridge where they were staying as burning trees fell into the road around them.

"It looked like something you see in an apocalypse movie," Luis said.

When they reached the bottom, the family realized that Carmen and Armando were no longer behind them. Luis sent Monica on to a friend's house while he headed back up the ridge to find his in-laws, but he was blocked by the fires and was forced to turn back.

On his way down, he met a firefighter, who took his number and promised to look for Carmen and Armando.

The Ocons later found out the couple had become trapped by a fallen tree on the drive down. When they couldn't go any further, they exited the vehicle and made their way back up the ridge to the house.

"They went hand in hand, together, and jumped into the pool," Monica said.

The couple stayed in the pool for hours as the fire raged, Luis said. Propane tanks exploded around them while Armando held onto the edge of the pool, burning his hand. Carmen held onto her husband, and they made their way from one side of the pool to the other to escape the heat.

Each time they came up for air, they would pray together to comfort each other.

"They were a team," Luis said. "They counted on each other."

Carmen held on for hours. But the heat and smoke were too much.

"It wasn't until close to dawn that my mom's breath didn't have the stamina to make it any more," Monica Ocon told CNN. Carmen died about 7 a.m. while Armando held her. The family believes it was smoke inhalation that killed her.

Armando stayed with her for several more hours while the fires died down. Finally, he pulled Carmen to the edge and asked her for permission to borrow her shoe, because he'd lost his.

Then the 76-year-old made his way down the ridge, walking through smoldering ashes.

"He's a strong 76," Monica said of her father. "It's amazing."

The firefighters alerted the Ocons and told them to head to a nearby hospital, where they were reunited with Armando. When he recovered, he told them what had happened.

"He was consoling us instead of us consoling him," Luis Ocon said. "He was amazing and full of strength."

Armando Berriz was released from the hospital and is recovering at his home in Salinas, California. But "he hasn't begun the emotional recovery," Monica Ocon said.

expected to plead guilty to charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy in a military hearing that begins at Fort Bragg today as he doubts that he could get a fair trial following campaign statements by donald trump

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Former Taliban prisoner Bowe Bergdahl is expected to plead guilty to charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy in a military hearing that begins at Fort Bragg today as he doubts that he could get a fair trial following campaign statements by Donald Trump.

Despite surviving five years in a Taliban cage, Trump had called Sgt. Bergdahl a "traitor" who should be executed in several campaign speeches as a presidential candidate.

In an on-camera interview shot last year by a British filmmaker, obtained exclusively by ABC News and airing today on Good Morning America, World News Tonight with David Muir and Nightline, Bergdahl says the words of the man who is now his commander-in-chief would have made a fair trial impossible.

"We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs that got what they wanted," Bergdahl said. "The people who want to hang me, you're never going to convince those people."

The 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment trooper walked off his combat outpost in Afghanistan in June 2009 and was immediately captured by the Taliban. During his five years in captivity with the Haqqani network -- the same Taliban faction that held American Caitlan Coleman and her family hostage for five years until being freed last Wednesday -- Bergdahl endured what one U.S. official called the worst case of prisoner abuse since the Vietnam War.

He was released in 2014 in exchange for five Taliban prisoners who had been detained at Guantanamo Bay, a deal that was harshly criticized on the campaign trail by then-candidate Trump, who called Bergdahl "garbage" and even suggested that he should have been summarily executed.

"You know in the old days - Bing. Bong," Trump said as he mimicked firing a rifle. "When we were strong."

Andrew Craft/The Fayetteville Observer via AP

Speaking to British war filmmaker Sean Langan, who was himself held captive by the same Taliban group in 2008, Bergdahl says he wants to fight back against what he calls a false narrative fueled by conservative outlets like Fox News that sought to portray him as a traitor and jihadi sympathizer who had been convinced to fight against the United States alongside his captors.

Such rumors were false, military officials have said.

"You know, it's just insulting frankly," Bergdahl told Langan. "It's very insulting, the idea that they would think I did that."

In 2014, then-Fox News correspondents Megyn Kelly and James Rosen reported on "secret documents" obtained by the network which purported to show that Bergdahl had "shown affection" for his captors, converted to Islam and become a "Mujahid," or jihadi, himself.

According to Bergdahl, however, he thought the conditions in captivity might kill him before his captors could.

"It was getting so bad that I was literally looking at myself, you know, looking at joints, looking my ribs and just going, 'I'm gonna die here from sickness, or I can die escaping,'" Bergdahl said. "You know, it didn't really matter."

He attempted to escape twice, according to military officials, and he was severely punished after being re-captured. Terrence Russell, a military official who debriefs former U.S. captives for the U.S. Joint Personnel Recovery Agency, says Bergdahl was tortured in a way reminiscent of the brutality visited upon prisoners of war in Vietnam decades ago.

"When they recaptured him and brought him back, the next day they spread-eagled and secured him to a metal bed frame," Russell says to Langan in another video. "They took a plastic pipe ... and they started beating his feet and his legs repeatedly with this plastic pipe. ... The idea was to just beat him and injure his legs and his feet so that he could not walk away again."

Bergdahl also says he was confined for more than four years to a cage that was only seven feet long and six feet wide.

"From first year," Bergdahl said when asked how much time he spent in that cage. "So second, third, fourth and then into the fifth year."

U.S. Army/Getty Images

It remains a mystery, however, why Bergdahl walked off his post in the first place.

Another senior official who spoke to Langan for his documentary was retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who as the former head of intelligence for special operations in Afghanistan and then as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency was deeply involved in the early search for Bergdahl.

He also briefly served as President Trump's national security adviser after working on his campaign, and he told Langan that he "absolutely" believes Bergdahl left the base with the intention to meet the Taliban.

But Bergdahl disputes that, claiming in a taped conversation with filmmaker Mark Boal that was broadcast in the second season of the Serial podcast that he walked off post in an attempt to report to senior officers that his platoon commander was "unfit" for his position.

Bergdahl has not been charged with any crime related to aiding the enemy.

Whatever his reasons were, at least two soldiers were seriously wounded during the search to find him, as ABC News first reported in 2014. Following his guilty plea, the question remaining before the military is what form of punishment Bergdahl deserves.

On that question, even Flynn doubted that justice would be best served by putting a former prisoner back in prison.

"So the guy deserted his men, his soldiers, his squad - no doubt," Flynn said. "[But] I don't think he should serve another day in any sort of confinement or jail, or anything like that because frankly even though he put himself into this situation to a degree, we the United States government and the United States military put him in Afghanistan."

276 killed in deadliest single attack in Somalia's history.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The most powerful bomb blast ever witnessed in Somalia's capital killed 276 people with around 300 others injured, the country's information minister said early Monday, making it the deadliest single attack in this Horn of Africa nation. The toll was expected to rise.

In a tweet, Abdirahman Osman called the attack "barbaric" and said countries including Turkey and Kenya had already offered to send medical aid. Hospitals were overwhelmed a day after a truck bomb targeted a crowded street near key government ministries, including foreign affairs.

As angry protesters gathered near the scene of the attack, Somalia's government blamed the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group for what it called a "national disaster." However, Africa's deadliest Islamic extremist group, which often targets high-profile areas of the capital, had yet to comment.

Al-Shabab earlier this year vowed to step up attacks after both the Trump administration and Somalia's recently elected president announced new military efforts against the group.

The Mogadishu bombing is one of the deadliest attacks in sub-Saharan Africa, larger than the Garissa University attack in Kenya in 2015 and the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

Doctors at Mogadishu hospitals struggled to assist badly wounded victims, many burned beyond recognition. "This is really horrendous, unlike any other time in the past," said Dr. Mohamed Yusuf, the director of Medina hospital.

Inside, bleary-eyed nurses transported a man whose legs had been blown off. He waited as surgeons attended to another badly injured patient. Exhausted doctors struggled to keep their eyes open, while screams from victims and newly bereaved families echoed through the halls.

"Nearly all of the wounded victims have serious wounds," said nurse Samir Abdi. "Unspeakable horrors." The smell of blood was strong.

A teary-eyed Hawo Yusuf looked at her husband's badly burned body. "He may die waiting," she said. "We need help."

Ambulance sirens echoed across the city as bewildered families wandered in the rubble of buildings, looking for missing relatives. "In our 10 year experience as the first responder in #Mogadishu, we haven't seen anything like this," the Aamin Ambulance service tweeted.

Grief overwhelmed many.

"There's nothing I can say. We have lost everything," wept Zainab Sharif, a mother of four who lost her husband. She sat outside a hospital where he was pronounced dead after hours of efforts by doctors to save him.

The country's Somali-American leader, President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, declared three days of mourning and joined thousands of people who responded to a desperate plea by hospitals to donate blood. "I am appealing all Somali people to come forward and donate," he said.

Mogadishu, a city long accustomed to deadly bombings by al-Shabab, was stunned by the force of Saturday's blast. The explosion shattered hopes of recovery in an impoverished country left fragile by decades of conflict, and it again raised doubts over the government's ability to secure the seaside city of more than 2 million people.

"They don't care about the lives of Somali people, mothers, fathers and children," Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire said of the attackers. "They have targeted the most populated area in Mogadishu, killing only civilians."

Rescue workers searched for survivors trapped under the rubble of the largely destroyed Safari Hotel, which is close to Somalia's foreign ministry. The explosion blew off metal gates and blast walls erected outside the hotel.

The United States condemned the bombing, saying "such cowardly attacks reinvigorate the commitment of the United States to assist our Somali and African Union partners to combat the scourge of terrorism." It tweeted a photo of its charge d'affaires in Somalia donating blood.

But the U.S. Africa Command said U.S. forces had not been asked to provide aid. A spokesman told The Associated Press that first responders and local enforcement would handle the response and "the U.S. would offer assistance if and when a request was made."

The U.S. military has stepped up drone strikes and other efforts this year against al-Shabab, which is also fighting the Somali military and over 20,000 African Union forces in the country.

The United Nations special envoy to Somalia called the attack "revolting," saying an unprecedented number of civilians had been killed. Michael Keating said the U.N. and African Union were supporting the Somali government's response with "logistical support, medical supplies and expertise."

In a tweet, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "sickened" by the attack, and his spokesman urged all Somalis to unite against extremism and work together to build a "functional" federal state.

Saturday's blast occurred two days after the head of the U.S. Africa Command was in Mogadishu to meet with Somalia's president, and two days after the country's defense minister and army chief resigned for undisclosed reasons.

Amid the chaos, the stories of victims began to emerge. Amino Ahmed said one of her friends, a female medical student, was killed on the eve of her graduation. The explosion also killed a couple returning from a hospital after having their first child, said Dahir Amin Jesow, a Somali lawmaker.

"It's a dark day for us," he said.

Two male band members charged with kidnapping a female fan.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Members of a Polish metal band have been charged with rape and kidnapping after authorities say they gang-raped a woman on their tour bus following an August show in Spokane, Washington.

Waclaw Kieltyka and Michal Lysejko of the band Decapitated appeared in court on Friday where their bail were set at $100,000 each, and both men were ordered to surrender their passports, The Spokesman-Review reported.

All four members of the band were arrested in Los Angeles in September.

The band's other two members, lead singer Rafal Piotrowski and bassist Hubert Wiecek, are set for an initial court appearance Oct. 19 in Spokane. Piatrowski is charged with second-degree rape, while Wiecek is charged with third-degree rape.

In a statement posted on social media, the band says the allegations are false and that they are "confident that once the facts and evidence have been seen and heard, they will be released and able to return home."

Two women told police they were invited onto the band's tour bus after the show, The Spokesman-Review reported. The woman who says she was raped said that, after talking for some time, she went into the bus' bathroom where she was "grabbed and spun around to where she was facing the sink and mirror in the bathroom," according to court documents. She was subsequently raped by each of the members of the band, according to the documents.

The other woman told police that she was able to escape after kicking one of the band members in the groin, the Spokesman-Review reported.

The band members' lawyers have said they have witnesses who can dispute that account.

National Anthem, a Florida man flies above the Jaguars stadium and it said "Boycott the jags from the NFL".

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A former Jacksonville Jaguars fan decided to take his grievances with national anthem protests to the sky Sunday, hoping the players on the field would see his message 1,000 feet above.

Terry Smiley said he was disgusted by Jaguars players who took a knee during the national anthem in London last month, and he decided he needed to make his voice heard.

So Smiley hired a pilot to fly his banner, which read "BE AMERICAN. BOYCOTT THE JAGS AND THE NFL," over EverBank Field on Sunday before the Jaguars faced off against the Los Angeles Rams.

"I have the right to protest and I'm going to protest it with bumper stickers, airplanes - whatever I got to do. I will continue to protest," Smiley told WFOX-WJAX-TV.

As part of his campaign against the NFL, Smiley is giving away bumper stickers in hopes other supporters will join him.

"Do you believe in your country? Do you believe in 'The Star-Spangle Banner'? If you don't stand up for it now, you won't have it in the future," Smiley told the television station.

While Smiley may feel the players' actions are disrespectful, other Jaguars fans said the players are kneeling to garner awareness for a greater cause.

"They are taking it in a peaceful manner," Jaguars fan Jaumari Day told WFOX-WJAX-TV. "They are trying to use their words and use their actions instead of taking it to violence."

Another fan, Jay Crossman, said people need to realize the "true message" of the protests.

"They have publicly stated that they care about veterans and the flag and that's not what they're kneeling against," Crossman said.

California health care workers who “willfully and repeatedly” decline to use a senior transgender patient's “preferred name or pronouns” could face punishments ranging from a fine to jail time under a newly signed law.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
California health care workers who "willfully and repeatedly" decline to use a senior transgender patient's "preferred name or pronouns" could face punishments ranging from a fine to jail time under a newly signed law.

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation last week.

The sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener, has argued adamantly that nobody is going to be criminally prosecuted for using the wrong pronoun.

"It's just more scare tactics by people who oppose all LGBT civil rights and protections," he said in a statement last month.

But the language seemingly allows for the possibility, however remote.

The bill itself is aimed at protecting transgender and other LGBT individuals in hospitals, retirement homes and assisted living facilities. The bill would ensure those facilities accommodate transgender people and their needs, including letting them decide which gender-specific bathroom they prefer to use.

"It shall be unlawful for a long-term care facility or facility staff to take any of the following actions wholly or partially on the basis of a person's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status," the bill reads.

Among the unlawful actions are "willfully and repeatedly" failing to use a transgender person's "preferred name or pronouns" after he or she is "clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns."

The law states that if provisions are violated, the violator could be punished by a fine "not to exceed one thousand dollars" or "by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year," or both.

Wiener's office noted that violations for residential care facilities under existing law rarely resulted in criminal charges, especially for minor violations. Criminal penalties are meant more for violations that expose a patient to risk of death or serious harm, his office said.

Wiener's office noted that the law "does not create any new criminal provisions," but rather creates "new rights within an existing structure."

One opponent of the law, the California Family Council's Greg Burt, slammed the measure when the bill was in its early stages.

"How can you believe in free speech, but think the government can compel people to use certain pronouns when talking to others?" he said to the California Assembly Judiciary Committee in August, according to CBN News.

2 moms overdosed while babies infants were in the back crying.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kristen Leigh O'Connor and June Schweinhart, 27 and 28, overdosed on $60 worth of heroin on October 5 in SUV in Boynton Beach, Florida

Their infants - one and two months - were strapped properly in the back seats when police arrived on the scene

They told local authorities that they met in a drug treatment program, bonding during their pregnancies and that O'Connor got the drugs from her old dealer

After O'Connor began overdosing, the other called police but too started convulsing as a result of the drugs

Both mothers are allowed to see their children but only under the supervision of other adults and were charged with child neglect

Police in Florida have released an officer's body camera recording showing two young mothers who apparently overdosed on heroin inside an SUV with their infants in the back seat.

Officers from the Boynton Beach Police Department responded to a parking lot in the 500 block of Woolbright Road just after 5pm on October 5 after getting a report about two women passed out in the vehicle.

In the video released by police this week, Kristen O'Conner, 27, dressed in a grey T-shirt is seen limply reclining in the front passenger seat.

When police open the back door of the vehicle, they discover two babies, ages one and two months old, strapped in car seats.

'I got two overdoses and two babies in the back,' an officer with the Boynton Beach Fire and Rescue tells a cop.

The cop then tries to calm the wailing infants, telling them, 'It's OK, it's OK.'

Later in the video, one of the mothers is seen inside an ambulance. A paramedic tells an officer that the overdose reversal drug Narcan was administered to revive the moms.

While O'Connor and her friend, 28-year-old June Schweinhart, were receiving treatment, an officer tried to sooth the babies by offering them pacifiers.

'There you go...it's OK,' the officer tells the one of the infants.

According to police, O'Connor and Schweinhart overdosed on $60 worth of heroin.

They told local authorities that they met in a drug treatment program, bonding during their pregnancies - their babies were born four days apart - and that O'Connor had gotten the drugs from her old dealer.

'For whatever reason, they decided yesterday to buy heroin and then snorted it while inside the car with their children,' said the Boynton Beach Police Department on Facebook.

O'Connor had let Schweinhart drive her car because she believed the mother would be able to drive better under the influence, she said to police.

After O'Connor began overdosing, the other called police but too started convulsing as a result of the drugs.

'Oh my God, oh my God,' O'Connor said her friend exclaimed before passing out, according to the Palm Beach Post.

A woman who had been nearby saw the commotion and spoke with police until they arrived. Both were taken to Bethesda Hospital East.

The infants, only one and two months old, were taken to the police department and given to family members. The Florida Department of Children and Families was notified.

They were found properly strapped into their car seats by police.

Both were charged with child neglect and a judge ruled that O'Connor can only see her child when her mother is present. The other mother has to undergo random drug tests at least once a week and can only see her child with another adult present.

the super volcano located at Yellowstone national park may erupt sooner than expected.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If the supervolcano underneath Yellowstone erupts again, we may have far less advance warning time than we thought.

After analyzing minerals in fossilized ash from the most recent mega-eruption, researchers at Arizona State University think the supervolcano last woke up after two influxes of fresh magma flowed into the reservoir below the caldera.

And in an unsettling twist, the minerals revealed that the critical changes in temperature and composition built up in a matter of decades. Until now, geologists had thought it would take centuries for the supervolcano to make that transition.

A 2013 study, for instance, showed that the magma reservoir that feeds the supervolcano is about two and a half times larger than previous estimates. Scientists also think the reservoir is drained after every monster blast, so they thought it should take a long time to refill. Based on the new study, it seems the magma can rapidly refresh-making the volcano potentially explosive in the geologic blink of an eye.

"It's shocking how little time is required to take a volcanic system from being quiet and sitting there to the edge of an eruption," study co-author Hannah Shamloo told the New York Times.

Still, Yellowstone is one of the best monitored volcanoes in the world, notes Michael Poland, the current Scientist-in-Charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory for the U.S. Geological Survey. A variety of sensors and satellites are always looking for changes, and right now, the supervolcano does not seem to pose a threat.

"We see interesting things all the time ... but we haven't seen anything that would lead us to believe that the sort of magmatic event described by the researchers is happening," says Poland via email, adding that the research overall is "somewhat preliminary, but quite tantalizing."

The new paper adds to a suite of surprises scientists have uncovered over the last few years as they have studied the supervolcano. (Also find out about a supervolcano under Italy that has recently been rumbling.)

Today, Yellowstone National Park owes much of its rich geologic beauty to its violent past. Wonders like the Old Faithful geyser and the Grand Prismatic Spring are products of the geothermal activity still seething below the park, which is driven in turn by the vast magma plume that feeds the supervolcano.

About 630,000 years ago, a powerful eruption shook the region, spewing forth 240 cubic miles' worth of rock and ash and creating the Yellowstone caldera, a volcanic depression 40 miles wide that now cradles most of the national park.

That eruption left behind the Lava Creek Tuff, the ash deposit that Shamloo and her ASU colleague Christy Till used for their work, which they presented in August at a volcanology meeting in Oregon. The pair also presented an earlier version of their study at a 2016 meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

Based on fossil deposits like this one, scientists think the supervolcano has seen at least two other eruptions on this scale in the past two million years or so. Lucky for us, the supervolcano has been largely dormant since before the first people arrived in the Americas. While a handful of smaller belches and quakes have periodically filled the caldera with lava and ash, the last one happened about 70,000 years ago.

In 2011, scientists revealed that the ground above the magma chamber bulged by up to 10 inches in a span of about seven years.

"It's an extraordinary uplift, because it covers such a large area and the rates are so high," the University of Utah's Bob Smith, an expert in Yellowstone volcanism, told National Geographic at the time.

The swelling magma reservoir responsible for the uplift was too deep to create fears of imminent doom, Smith said, and instead the caldera's gentle "breathing" offered valuable insights into the supervolcano's behavior.

In 2012, another team reported that at least one of the past super-eruptions may have really been two events, hinting that such large-scale events may be more common than thought.

But almost everyone who studies Yellowstone's slumbering supervolcano says that right now, we have no way of knowing when the next big blast will happen. For its part, the U.S. Geological Survey puts the rough yearly odds of another massive Yellowstone blast at 1 in 730,000-about the same chance as a catastrophic asteroid collision.

This story was updated on October 12 to include comment from Dr. Poland.

Teenager in the Bronx mugged 4 people

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A blade-wielding teenager stuck up four teens in a string of morning muggings in the Bronx, police said Sunday.

The robber worked a three-block area in Fordham Heights, first approaching a 15-year-old boy near Valentine Ave. and E. 192nd St. around 7:40 a.m. Tuesday, according to authorities. He displayed a knife and demanded the boy's head phones.

The victim handed over his headphones and the mugger ran off.

The thief returned the following morning, setting his sights on two 14-year-old boys at Grand Concourse and E. 192nd St. in separate muggings less than an hour apart, cops said.

He threatened to stab the first victim at 7:15 a.m. and ran off empty-handed, according to police, then struck again 40 minutes later, allegedly sticking up the second victim and demanding his money.

The boy handed over $3 and the creep bolted.

(DCPI)

His rash of robberies ended two days later, when he snuck up on a 14-year-old girl and held a blade to her back in St. James Park around 7:20 a.m., according to authorities.

He snatched the girl's iPhone 6 and zipped off on a bicycle, officials said.

Studio 54: The disco playground where sex and glamour reigned

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Written by Steve Dool, CNN

As Studio 54 co-founder Ian Schrager sees it, there have been exactly two seminal cultural events in the 71 years he's been alive: "Woodstock and Studio," he says. "Not to be presumptuous."

While Schrager's list is perhaps a tad reductive, the notorious New York City nightclub he launched in 1977 with his business partner Steve Rubell has undoubtedly earned its place in pop history. Studio 54 remains a topic of fascination some four decades after the club's opening night party summoned a crowd that included Cher, Tennessee Williams, Andy Warhol and Grace Jones to a former opera house and CBS television studio in Midtown Manhattan.

At Studio 54, sex, celebrity and, infamously, open drug-use worked in tandem to create a hedonistic nightlife playground that hasn't been replicated since. Schrager describes the setting as mayhem, where ordinary people could party unreservedly alongside the biggest names of the time. It wouldn't be surprising to see Arnold Schwarzenegger or O.J. Simpson dancing in the throng, or Diana Ross and Liza Minelli performing onstage. Brooke Shields and Paloma Picasso preened for newspaper cameras, while unexpected attendees like Coretta Scott King passed through the club's burgundy lobby. Alec Baldwin briefly worked as a waiter. The club's legacy has attained a near-mythical status.

"40 years later, people have not continued to talk about Woodstock and are still talking about Studio," Schrager says. "People who weren't even born are talking about it."

Of those people talking, the loudest is Schrager himself, who has collated photographs, memories and excerpts from his personal scrapbook into a nearly 400-page coffee table book for publishing house Rizzoli. It's a stark turn for Schrager, who spent years refusing interviews about his Studio 54 days, largely due to the shame he felt about his 1980 conviction and jail time, alongside Rubell, for tax evasion.

"It was a long time before I could talk about it, because they are bittersweet memories for me and I was embarrassed by the way it turned out," Schrager said. "I thought that doing the book was a way for me of encapsulating what happened there for my kids. It kind of brought closure to it."

Closure is also why he sought and was granted a pardon by President Obama in January of 2017. "That's all part of the same thing," he adds.

"Studio 54" the book shines a light on the club's happier -- and wilder -- days. Early in the hefty tome, billionaire businessman David Geffen notes that Studio 54 "came after birth control and before AIDS," allowing space for the freewheeling sexual experimentation that has become synonymous with 1970s decadence.

Designer Norma Kamali, a friend of Schrager's, remembers those days well.

"It began Page Six and every celebrity-based platform after that," she says of the club's culture. "The tension in the city was so high that New York needed a place to let off steam, and a place for gays and women to come out."

Kamali was part of a group of creative types who were treated with particular reverence while letting their hair down. Roy Frowick -- better known as Halston -- reigned supreme over a rotating cast of fashion industry regulars that included Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent.

"At that time, the movie stars in New York were the fashion designers," Schrager remembers. "The waters parted when they came."

But the rich, famous and talented weren't guaranteed a spot inside. Warren Beatty and Robert Duvall reportedly didn't make it past the doormen on opening night, and the disco band Chic famously wrote their No. 1 hit "Le Freak" after getting rejected on New Year's Eve 1977.

"The selection process had absolutely nothing to do with wealth, race, creed, color," Schrager says, likening who got in to curating the guest list for a memorable dinner party. "There was a feel or a vibe that they're here to party. They're going to do something to make the evening great. They're not going to be dead weight."

Of the two owners, Rubell, who died in 1989, often literally walked away in the morning. "People used to say I left too early, Steve left too late," Schrager recalls. Still, Schrager did witness some of the club's most iconic moments -- and maintains they haven't largely been exaggerated.

Bianca Jagger riding through the club on a white horse in 1977, Schrager says, actually happened as people retell it.

"It wasn't planned for Bianca to get on the horse," he says, adding they had intended for it to be ridden solely by a nude model posing as Lady Godiva, led by another nude model in painted-on clothes. Press photographers invited to capture celebrity guests sent the image far and wide. "That was the mother of all photo ops," Schrager adds.

It also began what would be a series of live animals brought in for special occasions, including doves for Jagger's birthday, livestock at a party for Dolly Parton, an elephant that posed for photos with Linda Blair, and, in December of 1977, a leopard and a panther. Included in the book is a letter from New York City Department of Health reminding Schrager and Rubell that wild animals in bars violated two different health codes.

Even without animals, Schrager and Rubell had no shortage of attention-grabbing stunts to drum up hype. Guests arrived one New Year's Eve to find the floor covered in three tons of silver glitter; one Halloween, a cast of dwarfs dined on Cornish hens inside a Hieronymus Bosch-inspired vignette.

Invitations were elaborate: Cupid's arrows, inflatable hearts, jars of confetti. ("Black confetti," Schrager specifies. "Chic. Good signal to cool people.")

Schrager is still signaling to cool people, although now, sitting atop a successful boutique hotel business, he is doing so in less hedonistic ways. He names several reasons why he doesn't think he could replicate Studio 54, even if he wanted to -- a greater societal reticence toward both casual sex and open drug use among them. Ironically, the changing nature of celebrity also plays a role.

"You were a celebrity because you did something," he says. "Now, you're a celebrity, then you've got to figure out something to do."

Not even fashion designers pull the same weight: "Alexander Wang is very cool and very creative and throws great parties, but it doesn't have the same gravitas," he adds.

Still, Schrager doesn't think the club's legend will ever truly fade. "There's a kind of human ideal, seeking absolute freedom," he says. "People say, 'You will never be able to recreate Studio.' Well, right, but that doesn't mean you can't create the ethos that was happening then. We're still part of the human species. We still like that."

Louisiana oil rig exploded and injuring 7 people

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least seven people are injured and one person is missing after an oil rig exploded Sunday night in Louisiana.

Kenner Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Kriss Fortunato said that at least seven people were injured and authorities were actively searching for one missing person, The Times-Picayune reported.

Officials from the St. Charles Parish wrote on Facebook that "The Emergency Operations Center is aware that an oil platform is currently on fire in Lake Pontchartrain and that it caused the loud sound earlier tonight. Officials are responding."

The U.S. Coast Guard is also responding, according to a Facebook post from the Jefferson Parish.

Rescue boats are being dispatched from the Kenner Boat Launch and officials with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office are assisting with rescue efforts, The Times-Picayune reported.

Mike Guillot, director of East Jefferson Emergency Medical Services said that the two individuals brought in are in stable condition but the other five brought to the University Medical Center are in critical condition with "blast type injuries and burns," the Times-Picayune reported.

Andrew Love, who lives about 10 blocks away from the explosion, told The Times-Picayune that his "house actually shook."

"At first I thought it was a sonic boom or something," Love said. "I had no idea what was happening."

Roger Fernandez said the explosion "shook me out of my couch."

The rig, according to The New Orleans Advocate, is operated by CLOVELLY Oil.

Lake Pontchartrain is roughly a 30-minute drive north of North Orleans.

NJ teacher reportedly tells class 'Speak American"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A video clip recorded on a cell phone inside a New Jersey classroom reportedly shows a teacher confronting her students and telling them to "speak American."

A teacher at Cliffside Park High School said, "men and women are fighting." WPIX reported. "They are not fighting for your right to speak Spanish. They are fighting for you right to speak American."

The report said the school has a large number of Spanish-speaking students. One can be seen getting up from his desk and walking out of the classroom after the teacher's remark. "You're being racist," the student can be heard saying. "I know how to speak English."

A student interviewed after the incident said the teacher asked students to stop whispering in Spanish. A commentator on Facebook reportedly called the teacher a "great person." Other commentators reportedly said English should be spoken in class out of respect for teachers.

Some students have reportedly called for the teacher's resignation, and the school's superintendent called for an assembly on Friday to talk about the issue. WPIX reported some students at the school are planning a walk-out Monday.

In orlando flordia a man named Daniel Rushing that sued Orlando for 37,500 dollars for getting arrested because police mistaked donuts for meth.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Orlando Sentinel 16 hrs ago By David Harris, Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. - The City of Orlando paid $37,500 to a man to settle a lawsuit after police officers arrested him for what they thought was meth but was actually tiny flakes of glaze from a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

Daniel Rushing sued the city after a field test incorrectly showed he had drugs and he was taken to jail.

He received the check in the mail last week, he said.

Rushing said he was pleased with the outcome and hopes he can get his record expunged.

He said he's been trying to start a security business, but to no avail.

"I haven't been able to work," he said. "People go online and see that you've been arrested."

The city declined to comment on the case Thursday.

Orlando police officers pulled over Rushing in 2015 after police say he failed to come to a full stop after pulling out of a 7-Eleven store.

Cpl. Shelby Riggs-Hopkins wrote in an arrest report that she saw "a rock-like substance on the floor board where his feet were."

She did two roadside tests and they came back positive for an illegal substance.

Officers said it was meth and took Rushing to jail on a possession of methamphetamine with a firearm charge where he spent 10 hours before posting $2,500 bond.

A second test, this time from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, determined it was sugar from the doughnut.

Orlando police ended up training more than 730 officers on how to properly use the field test kits.

Riggs-Hopkins was given a written reprimand for making an improper arrest.

Rushing, 65, said the arrest made him feel like a criminal.

"I couldn't believe it," he said. "I've never even smoked a cigarette before, let alone meth."

Rushing, who retired after 25 years with the City of Orlando Parks Department, said he still goes to Krispy Kreme to get a glazed doughnut every other Wednesday.

He just doesn't eat it in his car.
