An American basketball player's eye popped out of its socket after he was poked in the face while going for a rebound during a game in New Zealand.

Akil Mitchell, a 24-year-old former University of Virginia forward, was playing for the New Zealand Breakers in a game against Cairns on Thursday when the accident happened.

The game was stopped for 15 minutes while Mitchell was treated by medical officials, with his teammates left visibly upset by the incident. Cairns won the National Basketball League game 94-81.

On Friday, Mitchell said he had no vision impairment, but won't be watching any videos of the incident.

"(Teammate) Paul (Carter) really wanted me to see it and I was like, 'I can't do it,'" Mitchell told the New Zealand Herald on Friday. "It kind of makes my eye throb a little just thinking about it, so I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch it."

Mitchell told the Herald he could still see from the eye after it had popped out of his socket, saying the sensation was akin to "a chameleon, how they can see different directions."

Kremlin says lifting of sanctions not discussed in Russia-US talks

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump are not considering any deals which would lead to Washington lifting sanctions against Moscow, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

"Now it is hardly possible to talk about any deals: first there is the need to decide on the date and venue for the two presidents to meet," said Peskov, as quoted by the TASS news agency.

According to Peskov, Saturday's telephone conversation between Putin and Trump was "good and constructive," as both presidents have agreed to build relations based on mutual respect.

"Over the past years, the lack of mutual respect became the main reason for the deterioration of relations," he added.

Both American and Russian businesses are in "great demand for a more favorable climate, and a great deal is still to be done to create it," said Peskov.

What is important is that Washington is ready for dialogue, according to Putin's spokesman. "This is what President Putin called for rather consistently but where unfortunately he did not see reciprocity over the past years," he added.

The United States, the European Union, and their allies imposed sanctions against Russia after accusing the Kremlin of involvement in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Moscow has repeatedly denied participation in the Ukrainian conflict and said Crimea rejoined Russia in a legitimate referendum.

Washington and Brussels introduced several rounds of sanctions against Russian individuals, as well as the energy, banking and defense sectors. In response, Moscow banned food imports from countries that joined anti-Russian sanctions.

University of Kansas police have been investigating the reported rape of a 16-year-old girl at McCarthy Hall, which houses the KU men's basketball team and other male students.

The alleged rape and three other crimes occurred between 10 p.m. Dec. 17 and 5 a.m. Dec. 18, according to a police report obtained by The Star on Wednesday.

According to the report, those alleged crimes are contributing to a child's misconduct, furnishing alcohol to a minor and possession of drug paraphernalia. An investigation remains open.

No description of a suspect was released by KU police, including whether the suspect is a student or lives at McCarthy Hall. The alleged offender was suspected of using drugs and alcohol, according to the police report, and officers confiscated two glass smoking devices, one with residue.

"The reason we don't put out a suspect description (is) because the investigation's ongoing," James Anguiano, deputy police chief for the KU Public Safety Office, told The Star.

Anguiano said if law enforcement felt the alleged crime was a threat to campus, or could be a threat to campus, they would put out a crime alert to students. In this case, KU police didn't and said in a release that "there is no on-going risk to campus."

Police said the victim is not a KU student and was visiting residents at the dorm.

The five persons listed as witnesses in the police report are members of the Jayhawks' basketball team: Frank Mason III, Mitch Lightfoot, Lagerald Vick, Tucker Vang and Josh Jackson. A KU athletic department administrator and two 19-year-old women were others interviewed, according to the police report.

KU coach Bill Self told The Star that some of his players "are listed as potential witnesses to an alleged incident in McCarthy Hall."

"From what I have learned," Self said, "a witness can be many things, including a person who can potentially provide information, whether an eyewitness or not, or has been present before, during or after an alleged incident.

"All comments moving forward will come from the university or KU police department.

"If information is brought to us that warrants action at any time, the appropriate action will be taken."

KU police said in a news release that the KU athletic department is cooperating with investigators.

In addition to the report that the 16-year-old girl was raped at McCarthy Hall, a report of a runaway child was made from the same address around 4 a.m. Dec. 18. No information about the child was provided in a police report obtained by The Star, though the same two 19-year-old women and a sixth KU basketball player, Carlton Bragg, are listed as witnesses. According to the Lawrence Journal-World, the runaway was located and picked up.

KU played a 6 p.m. game against Davidson on Dec. 17 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. The team returned to Lawrence after the game.

McCarthy Hall opened in 2015 as an all-male apartment building operated by KU Student Housing. It is home to 38 students, roughly split between members of the men's basketball team and upperclassmen.

Federal law, particularly Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, requires that any school that gets federal money must promise that all students have equal access to education, and that sexual assault is a form of sex discrimination.

Experts said that even though the 16-year-old in the McCarthy Hall case wasn't a student, any report of rape on campus falls under the Title IX rules.

That means that campus police must alert a campus Title IX officer of the attack, experts said, and that office then has 60 days to investigate the case.

Title IX investigations are not held to the same standards as a criminal prosecution. Consequently, a university could use the results of that campus probe to discipline, suspend or expel a student even if prosecutors concluded the evidence didn't justify criminal charges.

A Title IX investigation is secret, to protect both the victim and the alleged perpetrator. Title IX officers are not required to confirm that an investigation has been launched, but they can choose to reveal a probe into a particular incident if doing so wouldn't expose the identities of people in the case.

A call from The Star on Wednesday to Shane McCreery, KU's Title IX officer and director of institutional opportunity and access, was not returned.

The Lawrence Journal-World first requested and obtained the police reports on Tuesday and reported the alleged rape was not posted to the KU Public Safety Office crime log until 10 days after it was reported to the department.

After The Star requested a copy of the police reports Wednesday morning, a reporter was told by a police employee they were not available and could not be made public because changes had to be made. The reports were released to The Star a few hours later.

The Star's Scott Canon and Gary Bedore also contributed to this report

It sounds so easy and simple. Build a physical wall and pay for it with a tariff wall.
But there is nothing easy about such a tax increase; what Trump conveniently ignores is that any tax on Mexican imports would be passed on to US consumers, manufacturers and exporters. One way or another, we will pay for that wall.
According to the Office of the US Trade Representative, Mexico is the third-largest US goods trading partner, with more than $296 billion in imports in 2015.
Based on current trade flows, a 20% tariff would effectively impose a $59.2 billion tax on US consumers who purchase Mexican imports. That means that billions of dollars' worth of Mexican fruits, vegetables, beer, minerals, equipment and cars would all be 20% more expensive to US consumers.
Mexico also is one of our most important supply chain partners, so the tax also means that US industry would pay billions more in taxes on Mexican products used for manufacturing at home. And Mexico is our second-largest export market, with hundreds of billions of dollars in goods exported from the United States to Mexico every year. Any tax on Mexican imports risks retaliatory taxes on US exports.
Why? Because the proposed tax on Mexican products unequivocally violates our treaty commitments and there is a real and tangible cost for such violations.

Trump speaks to a Mexican President by phone 1 day after canceling a meeting: President Donald Trump said his hour-long phone call with Mexico's president, Enrique Peña Nieto, today was a "very friendly call."

"I will say that we had a very good call," Trump said in a news conference at the White House. "I've been very strong on Mexico. I have great respect for Mexico. I love the Mexican people."

Trump added, "As you know, Mexico with the United States has out-negotiated us and beat us to a pulp through our past leaders. They've made us look foolish."

The two leaders were scheduled to meet next Tuesday, but Peña Nieto announced on Twitter that he canceled the business meeting after Trump signed an executive order allowing the construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

President Donald Trump and Mexico's president, Enrique Peña Nieto, had a "productive and constructive" call this morning, according to a joint statement released by the White House today.

The two presidents discussed America's trade deficit with Mexico, "the importance of the friendship between the two nations," and the need to work together to stop drug trafficking and illegal guns and arms sales, the statement said.

It also acknowledged the two presidents' "clear and very public differences" on who will pay for the border wall.

"Both presidents have instructed their teams to continue the dialogue to strengthen this important strategic and economic relationship in a constructive way," the statement read.

Trump spoke to Peña Nieto by phone for nearly an hour.

"I will say that we had a very good call," Trump said in a news conference at the White House. "I've been very strong on Mexico. I have great respect for Mexico. I love the Mexican people."

Trump added, "As you know, Mexico with the United States has out-negotiated us and beat us to a pulp through our past leaders. They've made us look foolish."

The two leaders were scheduled to meet next Tuesday, but that meeting has been canceled. Trump signed an executive order Wednesday allowing the construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and told ABC News' David Muir that Mexico would pay for it.

"If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting," Trump tweeted Thursday morning.

Later that day, Peña Nieto announced on Twitter that he had informed Trump that he would not attend their scheduled business meeting.

During his speech at the Republican retreat in Philadelphia Thursday, Trump said he and Peña Nieto "agreed" to cancel their planned meeting.

Trump, however, said today that he and Peña Nieto have a "good relationship."

"We have really, I think, a very good relationship, the president and I," Trump said in his news conference, adding, "We are going to be working on a fair relationship and a new relationship."

During Trump's press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May, the Mexican government released a statement in Spanish. It said the U.S. and Mexico had agreed "for now to not speak publicly" about who will fund Trump's proposed wall on the Mexican border.

Later in the day, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Trump agreed with the Mexican president that they will not speak publicly about how the U.S.-Mexico border will be paid for.

"They agreed not to discuss how it would be paid for publicly, that they would continue to have those discussions privately," Spicer said.

20 people decided to volunteer to work with first aid in helping witnesses in the violence in south chicago.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On a chilly Saturday, 20 volunteers sat in a movie theater-turned-church located on Chicago's South Side, taking detailed notes on how to properly tie a tourniquet, take a pulse and stop the bleeding from a serious injury as part of the inaugural Chicago South Side Trauma First Responders Course.

Interested in Chicago?

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

The course is a first-of-its-kind for the city, which had 762 homicides last year, according to the Chicago Police Department.

For the volunteers, the violence and shootings that have plagued the city are not an abstract concept but a part of daily life.

One participant, Caleb Jacobs, 23, has a quarter-sized scar from where he was stabbed in his abdomen in downtown Chicago in April 2014. That night, with blood seeping through his shirt, Jacobs thought about an alien movie he had seen with his brother, he told ABC News.

"A part of the movie he was bitten by one of the aliens, and he took the tooth out, [blood] gushing out, and he just packed it with his shirt and put pressure to it," Jacobs said, recalling a character in the film.

In order to save his own life, Jacobs mimicked the movie, lying down on the sidewalk to put pressure on the wound, and waited for help.

"The littlest things and sometimes the littlest information can be a big part of saving your life," Jacobs said.

Dr. Mamta Swaroop, 39, a trauma surgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, created the Chicago South Side Trauma First Responders Course and wants to give all trainees basic knowledge of what to do in a situation like the one Jacobs faced so that they don't have to rely on vaguely remembered movie scenes for medical guidance.

Swaroop came up with the idea for the course after having multiple patients bleed out to death before they could be saved at the hospital. She noticed many had wounds in their arms and legs that, if properly bandaged, may have been survivable.

"The worst thing in the world is when you have to tell families over and over and over again that there was literally nothing you could do for their family member," she said.

For years, many South Side residents have been frustrated by the lack of trauma centers in the area despite the high level of violence. While there are four level 1 adult trauma centers, designed to treat the most serious traumatic injuries, in Chicago itself and 19 total in Cook County, few are close to the southern portion of the county.

The average time for paramedics to arrive on the scene after getting a 911 call is six minutes, according to the Chicago Fire Department. But paramedics can be delayed if the police need to secure a scene, and it can take far longer to get a patient to a trauma center.

A 2013 study in the American Journal of Public Health examined data on 11,744 patients with gunshot wounds and found that 4,782 were shot more than five miles from a trauma center in the Chicago area. These patients had a mean transport time (from when the call came in to when they arrived in the hospital) of approximately 16 minutes compared to 10 minutes for people shot less than five miles from a trauma center.

Nearly one in five trauma patients in Chicago are "undertriaged" or going to hospitals not designated to treat their severe injuries, according to a study published earlier this month in JAMA Surgery. Co-author Lee Friedman explained this likely has to do with a lack of trauma centers in violent neighborhoods.

"People are being self-transported to these community hospitals ... it's not a failure of EMS," Friedman told ABC News in an earlier interview. "It's people saying, 'Let's get this person to [any hospital].'"

Swaroop doesn't think her class will be the answer to the soaring numbers of victims or the long transport times. But she hopes to make a dent and empower residents to step up and save lives.

"I feel like this course is a Band-Aid," she explained. "'Til the infrastructure, 'til the city, 'til everything else catches up. This is something that can be a stopgap."

To ensure the course addresses the needs of people who live in these dangerous areas, Swaroop partnered with Cure Violence/CeaseFire Illinois, a violence prevention initiative that hires and works with people in the most violent neighborhoods to prevent further violence from occurring. She worked with the initiative to design the course and find people willing to come in on a Saturday to learn first-aid techniques.

LeVon Stone, the director of CeaseFire Illinois, said in some areas shooting or stabbing victims are often driven more than eight miles in order to reach a level 1 trauma center.

"We knew there was a need for someone to have some type of training," Stone said. "[If] something was to happen in the community, they could possibly help save a life."

During the first session earlier this month, Swaroop, along with other doctors and nurses from Northwestern Memorial Hospital, gave training on how to clear airways, move injured people from a busy intersection and minimize bleeding. But they also listened to the stories of the community members, many of whom have worked for years trying to reduce violence in their neighborhoods.

Priscilla Simes, a member of the regional grassroots social justice organization TARGET Area, recalled the moment a young man had been shot outside the organization's offices just yards from where the first responders class was now taking place.

"The only thing that I knew to do was to grab his hand and pray," Simes said. "This class here, even with our own family, our own children, we'll know what to do [now]."

At the end of the session, Swaroop gave out certificates and cards for everyone so that if they step in to help, they can give the cards to paramedics or police officers as proof of their training. When Jacobs came up, Swaroop gave him a big hug.

The night Jacobs was stabbed, he was taken less than two miles to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where doctors including Swaroop were able to save his life. He ended up losing his spleen, pancreas and part of his colon. Despite all that, he said he's lucky he was stabbed less than two miles from the hospital.

"I could have got stabbed anywhere, but at least it was downtown ... at least I wasn't here," he said from his current home on Chicago's South Side near Lake Michigan. He explained that if he had been injured in his current neighborhood, the ambulance would have had to travel nine miles to get to Northwestern.

If that had been the case, "I wouldn't be here," he said.

The long lines at Starbucks have changed from the cashier to the pickup line, since people have used the app.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Long lines at Starbucks haven't gone away. It's just that the line has now shifted from the cash register to the counter where drinks are actually served. It appears to be a problem brought about by technology -- and it is actually hurting sales.

When Starbucks launched its mobile order and pay app in 2015, the hope was that it would make stores more efficient and please busy consumers who didn't want to wait in a long line to tell someone they wanted a Venti iced chai with almond milk.

But now that more and more caffeine addicts are actually using the app to order in advance, it is leading to a logjam of orders for baristas.

COO Kevin Johnson said during the company's earnings call with analysts on Thursday that the long lines at peak hours are scaring off some customers who may have not already placed their order.

"This congestion resulted in some number of customers who either entered the store or considered visiting a Starbucks store and then did not complete a transaction," he said.

The word "congestion" was mentioned eight times during the call. CEO Howard Schultz said that there were a "growing number of stores being challenged to keep up with the increased volume demands" from mobile ordering.

Related: Your morning cup of coffee is getting more expensive

That's a problem. Starbucks shares fell 4% Friday, mainly because sales growth in U.S. stores failed to meet Wall Street's expectations.

Schultz, who will be stepping down as CEO later this year and will be replaced by Johnson, conceded that having too much demand is a good problem to have, but he stressed that the company will figure out a way to address the issue of long lines.

"We are now laser focused on fixing this problem, but the nature of it, too much demand, is an operational challenge we have solved before, and I can assure you we will solve again."

Johnson, who was formerly the CEO of telecom equipment company Juniper Networks and a long-time executive at Microsoft and IBM before that, said the company is also taking action to solve the issues created by more mobile ordering.

He said the company will create new roles for workers to specifically work on mobile orders and is also testing the use of text message notifications to let consumers know exactly when a mobile order is ready to be picked up.

Johnson needs to fix this problem quickly in order to reassure investors that the best days for Starbucks are not behind it.

Keep in mind that Schultz stepped down as CEO once before back in 2000. And that didn't turn out too well.

The company experienced a series of setbacks without Schultz at the helm. It expanded too rapidly. The introduction of more food offerings didn't help either. Starbucks suffered from a lack of focus on the core product -- coffee.

Related: Can the future CEO of Starbucks escape the shadow of Schultz?

But all was forgiven once Schultz returned as CEO in 2008. The stock has surged since then and is not far from its all-time high.

Fortunately, Wall Street has faith in Johnson. It also helps that Schultz will remain the company's executive chairman. He will focus more on expanding the company's premium Starbucks Reserve brand and its Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room stores.

Analysts don't seem overly concerned about the soft fourth quarter results either.

"This is not demonstrative of a company in trouble, or even a company doing the wrong things, it is simply a reflection that Starbucks is a more mature business," said Neil Saunders, CEO of retail research firm Conlumino, in a report Thursday.

Nomura analyst Mark Kalinowski added that the mobile growing pains could soon be a thing of the past. He wrote in a report Friday that mobile payments could account for 30% of all transactions at company-owned U.S. stores by the end of the year.

Related: Schultz says he's 'emotionally prepared' to step back this time

Still, investors will be keeping a close eye on how sales at Starbucks stores in the U.S. fare going forward.

Despite impressive growth overseas, particularly in China, Starbucks faces a lot more competition at home from the likes of Dunkin' Donuts , McDonald's , and Tim Hortons, which is owned by Burger King parent Restaurant Brands .

German conglomerate JAB Holding is also building a massive U.S. coffee empire.

JAB now owns Caribou Coffee, Peet's, Stumptown and K-Cup maker Keurig Green Mountain. It also owns doughnut chain Krispy Kreme and the bagel franchise Einstein Noah.

So Johnson and Schultz will have to figure out a way to quickly cut the wait times at Starbucks stores or they risk losing customers to the legion of other coffee chains that dot the American retail landscape.

The Burlington, Ontario, woman was was so sick, she could not speak for herself.

"I was unconscious at this point and had been for some time," Melissa Benoit said. "So (my family) made the decision based on my previous wishes -- just knowing who I am."

Chris Benoit remembers the moment of decision in April. He, Melissa's mom, dad and uncle all spoke at once. "It didn't take very long for us to insist that Melissa would want to go right to the end and fight with experimental surgery," he said.

In fact, Melissa Benoit, then 32, had been suffering for years. A cystic fibrosis patient, she had been struggling with an on-again, off-again infection that had ravaged her lungs over the course of three years. An inherited disorder, cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices, and causes damage to the lungs, gastrointestinal system and other organs of the body.

She'd been taking antibiotics intravenously, but then she came down with the flu, which triggered coughing fits so terrible, she fractured her ribs.

"They thought they'd just do a quick switcheroo with antibiotics," she said. "Unfortunately, that didn't happen. The last day I remember was Easter Sunday 2016, where I was waiting for an ICU bed."

While she was unconscious, the infection could not be controlled, so in early April, she was transferred -- sedated and on a ventilator -- to Toronto General Hospital's Surgical Intensive Care Unit.

She was suffering from "severe bacterial infection involving her lungs, and the bacteria was very drug-resistant, so despite being on antibiotics, it was not very well-controlled," said Dr. Atul Humar, director of the transplant program at Toronto General Hospital and president of the Canadian Society of Transplantation. Humar was not directly involved in Benoit's care.

Drowning in the blood and pus that filled her lungs, she had been gasping for breath -- grasping for life -- for days. It was clear Benoit needed a lung transplant, but a conventional ventilator was not enough to help her breathe until donor lungs became available.

To help her breathe and to gain more time, physicians placed her on Extra-Corporeal Lung Support, a temporary life-support medical device often used to help bridge patients waiting for a transplant.

Amanda Spriel, a perfusionist at Toronto General who was involved in the procedure, explained that this machine functions as the lungs normally do. It drains blood from the body, oxygenates it and removes the carbon dioxide, and then pumps the cleaned blood back into the patient.

For other patients waiting for a lung donor, this machine is enough to help them survive. In Benoit's case, her condition only worsened.

The infection took over her lungs, spilled into her bloodstream and caused septic shock, she said, adding that it "meant they couldn't do a lung transplant. You cannot transplant someone who is in septic shock."

She would die if nothing was done.

Conferring with her family, a "radical decision" was made, said Dr. Shaf Keshavjee, surgeon-in-chief at University Health Network. "Because her lungs were so infected, we took both lungs out ... and that had never been done before."

Historic and historical

Though radical, the idea "makes scientific sense," Humar said. "We know that when you have infections anywhere in the body, if you can remove the source of the infection, it's often a good way to treat the infection."

These days, because excellent antibiotics can deal with most infections, doctors no longer resort to this practice, he explained: "Certainly, in historical times, surgery was used for treatment of severe infections."

Despite the experimental nature of this surgery, Toronto General was certainly the perfect place to try it. The world's first successful single lung transplant and the world's first successful double lung transplant had both been performed there in 1983, Humar said. He explained that the hospital had a big investment in transplantation and "a very large multidisciplinary team of talented people."

In fact, the surgical team had been discussing the possibility of such a procedure for several years before Benoit landed in their ward. They'd seen how patients with cystic fibrosis sometimes developed lung infections and septic shock while waiting for a donor lung.

In Benoit's case, once her lung infection became resistant to all medications, it was clear this hypothetical surgery would be her only chance.

A team of 13, led by Keshavjee, entered the operating room and removed her lungs in a nine-hour procedure.

Engorged with pus and mucus, her lungs had become as hard as footballs, Keshavjee said.

Once they'd removed her lungs, the surgical team put a Novalung in on the right side of her heart to work with the Extra-Corporeal Lung Support machine in replacing respiratory function, Keshavjee said. Novalung is a lung support system that oxygenates the blood andis typically used to support patients with failing lungs before they've been removed.

"Obviously, it was a very difficult and a very challenging decision, because there were a lot of unknowns as to whether it would even be technically possible, but theoretically and physiologically, it made sense that it should work," he said. "We were happy that we could pull it off -- the first step of getting her stabilized on the devices and the second step of getting her to and through a lung transplant, which is not a small operation."

A 'night and day' change

"I was ... brought back up to the ICU with an empty chest cavity, except for my heart," Benoit said. Yet, within hours of the radical surgery, she began to improve. No longer needing blood pressure medication, most of her organs showed signs of repair.

"The sepsis got better," she said, and she was put back on the lung transplant wait list.

"I waited six days before receiving my perfect pair of donor lungs," said Benoit, who describes her new lungs as "night and day" compared with her original lungs.

"I've never had the experience of breathing before," she said. "I was always feeling like I was breathing through a straw."

Cystic fibrosis will not recur in her transplanted lungs, according to her doctors, who say this is significant since many people with the disease die from infected lungs. However, she still has the genetics of cystic fibrosis, which can affect other systems in her body, including the digestive system.

"She has a very good prognosis," Keshavjee said. "The lungs are working well, she's gone through rehabilitation, and now she's walking around and living a more normal life and taking her daughter to school."

"When you measure success of something this dramatic, I think it's important to show that it is a success. Prolonging somebody's life for 20 days isn't really a meaningful thing in the long run, but really getting them back to where they're being a mom and really doing things, that's the more important part."

As far as Humar is concerned, the surgery is nothing less than "a remarkable achievement ... and the world's first."

Surgery, but also rehabilitation, was an achievement for Benoit, who could not lift her arms, her head or even a finger after being immobile in a hospital bed for so many days. She is thankful that her physiotherapists -- who brought her back so she is able to walk again -- did not give up on her.

Oddly, Benoit's worst moment came after she went home: She saw a video clip of her husband and her daughter, Olivia, 2, in the ICU. In order to do a transplant, doctors needed Benoit to give a sign that she was still alive.

"They needed to show that there was somebody in there," she said.

"And my daughter ... was sitting on the edge of my bed yelling, 'Mummy, wake up!' Repeatedly, over and over again, and my husband's there telling her, 'You tell Mummy -- wake up Mummy!' And I think that was the hardest part of the entire process -- knowing that that had to take place," Benoit said through tears.

In that moment, she showed she was alive by sticking out her tongue, a little movement that enabled her doctors to go forth with the radical plan.

Benoit has more medical procedures ahead, and no specific plans for the future. She's just happy to have one. "Things are starting to get back to normal, and it hasn't been normal, in a very long time so it's nice," she said.

Her husband also feels thankful for her renewed health, and is urging people to become organ donors. In Canada, people can sign up online, while residents of the United States can check each state's donor procedures here.

"She's here with us today, and it's just a fantastic day," Chris Benoit said at a news conference Wednesday. "I urge you ... go on the (organ) donor's site and register or update your consent."

American basketball player OK after eye pops out of socket

An American basketball player's eye popped out of its socket after he was poked in the face while going for a rebound during a game in New Zealand.

Akil Mitchell, a 24-year-old former University of Virginia forward, was playing for the New Zealand Breakers in a game against Cairns on Thursday when the accident happened.

The game was stopped for 15 minutes while Mitchell was treated by medical officials, with his teammates left visibly upset by the incident. Cairns won the National Basketball League game 94-81.

On Friday, Mitchell said he had no vision impairment, but won't be watching any videos of the incident.

"(Teammate) Paul (Carter) really wanted me to see it and I was like, 'I can't do it,'" Mitchell told the New Zealand Herald on Friday. "It kind of makes my eye throb a little just thinking about it, so I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch it."

Mitchell told the Herald he could still see from the eye after it had popped out of his socket, saying the sensation was akin to "a chameleon, how they can see different directions."

The economy continues to grow at the slow rate of 1.6% in 2016.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
America had another year of sluggish growth.

The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.6% in 2016, the Commerce Department reported Friday.

In the last three months of the year -- between October and December -- the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.9%. It's the slowest pace of growth since 2011.

It reflects how slow the recovery has been for many Americans since the Great Recession, which ended in 2009.

Weak economic growth was a key reason behind President Trump's election. He promises to get growth up to 4% a year, something that hasn't happened since the late 1990s.

Trump's agenda to cut corporate and individual taxes, build more roads and bridges and cut away regulations have some optimistic that he can boost growth -- how much, is anyone's guess.

"This economy is starving for reform," says Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, a consulting firm. Trump's tax, infrastructure and regulation reforms "are all poised to lift productivity and growth."

Brusuelas cautions that Trump's plans to use tariffs and potentially withdraw from a free trade deal could hurt growth if he follows through with them.

But so far many Americans like what they're hearing. The stock market has rallied to new all-time highs due, in large part, to optimism about Trump's economic plans. Consumer optimism also reached a 15-year high in December.

Others aren't certain about Trump's impact on the economy. The Federal Reserve forecasts U.S. growth to hover around 2% for the next few years, though its leaders admit that could change with time.

A major problem plaguing the economy is something called productivity. It's growing at a slower pace than it used to, and that holds down wages and overall growth.

Low productivity does not mean Americans aren't working hard. Among many factors, It means the pace at which they're assembling more cars and making more widgets is slower.

The U.S. economy has made significant progress since the recession, especially in the job market. The unemployment rate peaked at 10% in 2009. It's now 4.7%. Many measures of the job market have also significantly improved.

Despite low growth, America has in fact grown for seven straight years -- a long time. It's just been slow.

"Bottom line, the year ends on a mediocre fashion, but policy is about to change," says Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at the Lindsey Group, an economic advisory firm.

Mr. Kohl - British PM Theresa May’s having tea and crumpets with Trump today. She’ll be the first foreign leader to meet with him since he took office. 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In her first diplomatic visit to the United States, British Prime Minister Theresa May applauded President Donald Trump's new approach to trade and foreign policy, but also warned against trusting Russia and abandoning long held alliances.

May's plaudits to Congressional Republicans gathered for a retreat in Philadelphia came on the same day as Trump's administration set off a diplomatic spat with Mexico. The president's stated plans to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border and to possibly levy a 20 percent import tax on the country's goods caused Mexico's president to cancel a planned White House visit and meeting with Trump.

In the speech, May also touted Britain's "special relationship" with the U.S. and all the fruit it has borne. The United Nations, the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and NATO, she said, were all products of the countries' long friendship and desire to build world peace - an ideal that stretches back to before the First World War.

"Some of these organizations are in need of reform and renewal to make them relevant to our needs today," May said. "But we should be proud of the role our two nations - working in partnership - played in bringing them into being, and in bringing peace and prosperity to billions of people as a result."

She added that it was unacceptable and unfair for the U.S. to take the brunt of the security concerns on behalf of the world - a nod to concerns Trump raised on the campaign trail - but plainly stated that Britain has always met its defense commitments.

May detailed how much the U.K. spends on defense and overseas development as well as where the country has stationed troops.

Throughout the speech, the British Prime Minister often turned to the example of President Ronald Reagan and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who worked together through the end of the Cold War. Their actions, she said, would be helpful when considering a relationship with Russia.

"When it comes to Russia, as so often it is wise to turn to the example of President Reagan who - during his negotiations with his opposite number Mikhail Gorbachev - used to abide by the adage 'trust but verify.' With President Putin, my advice is to 'engage but beware,'" May said.

May then doubled down on Britain's support to defeat ISIS. She urged focus on stopping radicalization; called the Iran nuclear deal "vitally important for regional security"; discussed Brexit and Britain's continued bond with the European Union; and she emphasized the importance of the U.S.-U.K. trade relationship.

May returned to the subject of Reagan and referenced the Founding Fathers, underscoring the significance of Britain's longstanding friendship with the U.S.

"As we renew the promise of our nations to make them stronger at home," she said, "in the words of President Reagan as the 'sleeping giant stirs' - so let us renew the relationship that can lead the world towards the promise of freedom and prosperity marked out in parchment by those ordinary citizens 240 years ago."

May is scheduled to pay a visit to Arlington National Cemetery Friday morning, followed by a meeting with Trump at the White House in the afternoon.

A mom did the unthinkable and lived 6 days with no lungs. It is unbelievable

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Burlington, Ontario, woman was was so sick, she could not speak for herself.

"I was unconscious at this point and had been for some time," Melissa Benoit said. "So (my family) made the decision based on my previous wishes -- just knowing who I am."

Chris Benoit remembers the moment of decision in April. He, Melissa's mom, dad and uncle all spoke at once. "It didn't take very long for us to insist that Melissa would want to go right to the end and fight with experimental surgery," he said.

In fact, Melissa Benoit, then 32, had been suffering for years. A cystic fibrosis patient, she had been struggling with an on-again, off-again infection that had ravaged her lungs over the course of three years. An inherited disorder, cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive juices, and causes damage to the lungs, gastrointestinal system and other organs of the body.

She'd been taking antibiotics intravenously, but then she came down with the flu, which triggered coughing fits so terrible, she fractured her ribs.

"They thought they'd just do a quick switcheroo with antibiotics," she said. "Unfortunately, that didn't happen. The last day I remember was Easter Sunday 2016, where I was waiting for an ICU bed."

While she was unconscious, the infection could not be controlled, so in early April, she was transferred -- sedated and on a ventilator -- to Toronto General Hospital's Surgical Intensive Care Unit.

She was suffering from "severe bacterial infection involving her lungs, and the bacteria was very drug-resistant, so despite being on antibiotics, it was not very well-controlled," said Dr. Atul Humar, director of the transplant program at Toronto General Hospital and president of the Canadian Society of Transplantation. Humar was not directly involved in Benoit's care.

Drowning in the blood and pus that filled her lungs, she had been gasping for breath -- grasping for life -- for days. It was clear Benoit needed a lung transplant, but a conventional ventilator was not enough to help her breathe until donor lungs became available.

To help her breathe and to gain more time, physicians placed her on Extra-Corporeal Lung Support, a temporary life-support medical device often used to help bridge patients waiting for a transplant.

Amanda Spriel, a perfusionist at Toronto General who was involved in the procedure, explained that this machine functions as the lungs normally do. It drains blood from the body, oxygenates it and removes the carbon dioxide, and then pumps the cleaned blood back into the patient.

For other patients waiting for a lung donor, this machine is enough to help them survive. In Benoit's case, her condition only worsened.

The infection took over her lungs, spilled into her bloodstream and caused septic shock, she said, adding that it "meant they couldn't do a lung transplant. You cannot transplant someone who is in septic shock."

In Benoit's case, once her lung infection became resistant to all medications, it was clear this hypothetical surgery would be her only chance.

A team of 13, led by Keshavjee, entered the operating room and removed her lungs in a nine-hour procedure.

Engorged with pus and mucus, her lungs had become as hard as footballs, Keshavjee said.

Once they'd removed her lungs, the surgical team put a Novalung in on the right side of her heart to work with the Extra-Corporeal Lung Support machine in replacing respiratory function, Keshavjee said. Novalung is a lung support system that oxygenates the blood andis typically used to support patients with failing lungs before they've been removed.

"Obviously, it was a very difficult and a very challenging decision, because there were a lot of unknowns as to whether it would even be technically possible, but theoretically and physiologically, it made sense that it should work," he said. "We were happy that we could pull it off -- the first step of getting her stabilized on the devices and the second step of getting her to and through a lung transplant, which is not a small operation."
