Facebook launches personal fundraising tool.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Watch out, GoFundMe. You have some big new competition in the fundraising space.

Facebook announced Thursdayit willexpand its charitable giving tools to include personal fundraisers. The campaigns will allow people 18 and older to raise money for themselves, a friend -- or someone or something not on Facebook, like a pet.

Previously, the company allowed users to raise money only for nonprofits. Personal fundraisers will launch in the United States over the next few weeks.

Facebook spokesperson Stephen Rocco Rodi told CNNTech donations to personal fundraisers will incur a transaction fee of 6.9%, plus 30 cents, per donation. "We're not in the business of making profit on this," Rodi said, adding the fee covers security and fraud protection, vetting and payment processing. By contrast, nonprofits pay a 5% fee.

Facebook will start personal fundraisers with six categories including education (such as tuition and books), medical, pet medical, crisis relief, personal emergencies (like a car accident or theft), and funeral and loss. Initially there will be a 24-hour fundraiser review process before each campaign is posted, to protect against fraud and ensure the cause falls within one of the six categories. Eventually Facebook plans to expand the campaign categories and automate more of the review process.

People who don't have a Facebook account can see the fundraiser, but they won't be able to donate without logging in. Payment processing will take between seven and 13 days, Facebook told CNNTech, and it may take some banks a few additional business days to deposit payments into a person's account.

The social network's foray into personal fundraising is in direct competition with cause-focused sites like GoFundMe and YouCaring, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Facebook first tested its "fundraisers" feature in 2015 with 37 charities, including Mercy Corps, National Multiple Sclerosis Society and World Wildlife Fund. The top of averifiednonprofit's page includes a "donate" button, where users can make a contribution with a credit card or through PayPal .

A man in Houston found himself duct-taped to a yield sign after losing a bet.

KHOU-TV reports police were called to the scene after several motorists drove by the strange sight on Wednesday.

When a guy with a knife tried to approach the duct-taped man, an officer shouted 'Drop the knife or I'll tase you!"

He explained to the officer that he was actually trying to cut his friend down, Miguel Chavez, who had lost a bet.
LIBRARY BOOK STOLEN 35 YEARS AGO RETURNED WITH $200 DONATION
Chavez told FOX 4 he bet with his friend on a Warriors/ Rockets game. When he lost, his friend gave him two choices: get taped to a pole or a car. Chavez decided to flip a coin to decide his fate.

"Heads was for the pole. Tails was for the car," Chavez explained. "It landed on heads, and everything went from there."

The officers eventually helped get Chavez down and gave him a ride home.

The mayor of Boston has backed transgender rights in the city, as a controversial "free speech" bus arrived in Massachusetts.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The mayor of Boston has backed transgender rights in the city, as a controversial "free speech" bus arrived in Massachusetts.

The bright orange bus criticises what it calls "gender ideology" with the words "you can't change sex" and "it's biology" on its side.

It closely resembles a Spanish bus created by a Catholic group that was forced off the roads by protesters.

The US bus was vandalised at its first stop in New York.

It is sponsored by conservative action groups the National Organization for Marriage, Citizen Go and the International Organization for the Family.

The organisers say it is aimed at promoting "the truth of gender" which they say is "determined by biology rather than by emotions and feelings".

Speaking while the transgender flag was raised over over City Hall, Boston's mayor Marty Walsh said: "We are listening to our transgender community by making the city more inclusive.

"Its important for us to every now and then send a message, to let people know we will not be intimidated by discrimination or harassment.

"When you deny the experience of transgender individuals, you are denying the experience of basic human civil rights - in Boston and Massachusetts we are better than that.

"Together we are going to continue to fight intolerance with love and acceptance, and we will continue to fly this flag with pride in our hearts."

Protesters surrounded the bus at the Massachusetts State House in Boston and in neighbouring Cambridge, near Harvard University.

One protester wrote #HateSpeechBus on the bus in response to the campaign's slogan #FreeSpeechBus.

A spokesman for the National Organization for Marriage told the BBC he was "disappointed that people who preach tolerance and acceptance reacted to the bus by lashing out".

The spokesman insisted a significant proportion of the US population felt "uncomfortable" about the prospect of transgender people using public facilities such as changing rooms and bathrooms.

He said the vandalism of the bus showed how "people with alternative point of view on transgender issues are treated", and called for their opinion to be treated with respect.

The group had previously described the incident in New York as a "vicious assault" by "LGBT extremists" but said it was committed to continuing the East Coast tour.

The bus will now travel to Connecticut, Philadelphia and Baltimore before its final stop in Washington DC.

Atlanta will face nightmares with the bridge that collapsed after a fire

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
&#151; -- Three people have been arrested in connection with the large fire that collapsed a portion of an Atlanta highway Thursday, according to fire officials.

The suspects were identified as Basil Eleby, Sophia Broner and Barry Thomas, Georgia Deputy Insurance Commissioner Jay Florence to ABC News. Eleby faces a charge of criminal damage to property, while Broner and Thomas each were charged with criminal trespass. They have not yet entered pleas.

According to Georgia Deputy Insurance Commissioner Jay Florence, the fire was lit using materials that were on site. The Atlanta Fire Department said Eleby is the suspect "we are holding responsible for the fire," according to Sgt. Cortez Stafford, and the department believes the fire was set maliciously.

Eleby remains in custody and additional charges may be pending, according to the fire department. It was not clear if the other two suspects remained in custody. Police records show Eleby has 20 arrests dating back to 2000, mostly for possessing and selling drugs and assault.

Two of the suspects were interviewed, leading to the arrest of the third, Florence said.

Atlanta residents may face a travel nightmare after a massive fire caused an overpass on Interstate 85 in the city to collapse, shuttering the major thoroughfare.

No injuries were reported and no cars were on the highway bridge when it fell during Thursday afternoon's rush hour, Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Sgt. Cortez Stafford said, according to The Associated Press. Fire officials said this afternoon that firefighters at the scene saved lives by recognizing cracks in the concrete and calling for an evacuation.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Georgia Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry said the fire started in an area used "as a storage location for construction materials, equipment and supplies. The site was a secured area containing materials such as PVC piping, which is a stable, noncombustible material."

Interstate 85 is a major thruway in the Atlanta metropolitan area, carrying 400,000 cars a day, according to the Department of Transportation. The highway's closure is expected to cause major headaches in this heavily car-dependent city.

Officials are still determining the extent of damage and said there is no set timeline for the repairs. McMurry said it will take "at least several months" to rebuild.

He said about 350 feet of the northbound road as well as 350 feet of the southbound road will have to be totally removed and replaced.

"That is no small feat, but we're up to the challenge," McMurry said at a news conference this afternoon.

The transportation crisis comes at a terrible time, said Col. Mark W. McDonough of Georgia's Department of Public Safety, with travel expected to be high during spring break and with the Atlanta Braves' home exhibition game today against the New York Yankees.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has declared a state of emergency.

The Federal Highway Administration today awarded $10 million in "quick release" funding to initiate the most critical repairs in the next few weeks.

The "funds are considered a down payment on the costs of short-term repairs now, which can make long-term repair work possible in the weeks ahead," the Department of Transportation said in a statement.

One driver described her commute today as "horrible."

"It took me two hours to get out here this morning and then I had to come back out to take a friend to work," she told ABC News. "But that's life. What else can we do?"

Another driver, Laura, told ABC News, "You have to make the best of it. If you get upset about it, it's just going to make your drive worse."

"You can't change the situation," she added, "so just try to be polite to whoever is trying to get in and out and it'll make your drive home a whole lot easier."

Drivers are encouraged to shorten their trips and carpool with others, and Atlanta's public transportation system is stepping up rail and bus service, McMurry said.

"We ask for your continued patience as we gather more information and details on the required repairs and reconstruction activities needed to bring this roadway back to operational levels," McMurry said.

ABC News' Janice McDonald and Dominick Proto and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with free-agent safety T.J. McDonald on Friday despite a recent eight-game suspension.

A source told ESPN that McDonald signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins, who welcomed him in a tweet Friday.

McDonald learned of his suspension earlier this week during his free-agent visit with the Dolphins. The NFL found that McDonald violated its substance abuse policy after an incident in May in which he was suspected of driving under the influence of prescription drugs. McDonald pleaded no contest to a lesser charge in January.

McDonald, 26, played in all 16 games for the Los Angeles Rams last season and recorded 64 tackles, two interceptions and one sack. The Rams figured that punishment from the NFL would eventually come down on McDonald but were going to move on from him anyway.

In an email to ESPN after the suspension was announced, his agent, Andrew Kessler, wrote: "It is very unfortunate that T.J. will miss the first eight games this season, but he and I are both looking forward to him returning to regular-season action when eligible."

Although McDonald will not be active until midseason, the Dolphins need depth at safety opposite former Pro Bowler Reshad Jones, who recently signed a $60 million extension. The Dolphins have also signed free agent Nate Allen, who is expected to begin the 2017 season in the starting lineup.

An aggressive, ball-hawking strong safety, McDonald started 43 of 48 games for the Rams over the past three seasons, compiling three interceptions, 14 pass deflections, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, four sacks and 171 total tackles.

McDonald was selected by the Rams in the third round of the 2013 draft out of USC.
