HONAKER, Va. - A three-year-old dog named Dallas is among the first pit bulls ever rescued from a fighting ring to train as a police K-9.

After about six weeks of training, Dallas will join the force in Honaker, Virginia, The Washington Post reports.

"We knew that his combination of ball drive and his wanting of human praise was the perfect combination to be a police dog," said Jen Deane, the founder and president of Florida rescue group Pit Sisters.

Dallas was among 30 other pit bulls rescued by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals from a compound in Canada, according to the report.

The dogs were chained to metal stakes and there was evidence of fighting on the property.

He's now going through training that includes sniffing out narcotics.

"He will save many lives," his trainer Bruce Myers said. "If he helps take one brick of heroin off the street, that can save 1,000 people. And he will be incredibly proficient by the time he leaves here."

Honaker Police Chief Brandon Cassell said the town had long wanted a K-9 narcotics officer, but the town of 1,500 couldn't afford the $10,000-plus needed to get a highly trained dog.

A Canadian rescue group covered the training costs and is donating Dallas to the department.

The founders of Instagram have resigned from the business they started eight years ago in San Francisco and built into a global phenomenon used by a billion people.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The founders of Instagram have resigned from the businessthey started eight years ago in San Franciscoand built into a global phenomenon used by a billion people.

Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger founded the photo-sharing appin a co-working spacein 2010. It became a runaway success, attracting tens of millions of usersbefore the co-founders sold it to Facebook in 2012 for $1 billion.

With the tech heavyweight's backing, Instagram continued its spectacular growth, adding features including videos, stories and, most recently, its own version of TV.

But Systrom, the company's CEO, and Krieger, its chief technology officer, have now decided to leave their posts. That will deprive Facebook of the two key leaders of an app that's growing much faster than Facebook itself.

"We're planning on taking some time off to explore our curiosity and creativity again," Systrom said in a blog post late Monday. "Building new things requires that we step back, understand what inspires us and match that with what the world needs; that's what we plan to do."

He added that they both "remain excited for the future of Instagram and Facebook in the coming years as we transition from leaders to two users in a billion."

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg described Systrom and Krieger as "extraordinary product leaders."

"I'm looking forward to seeing what they build next," he said in a statement.

Bloomberg News reported that Systrom and Krieger are leaving because of tensions with Zuckerberg over the direction of Instagram.

Spokespeople for Facebook and Instagram declined to commentfurther on why the executives had decided to step down, referring back to Systrom's blog post.

It wasn't clear how long the two founders will continue working at the company. The news of their departures was first reported by The New York Times.

Instagram has become an increasingly important part of the Facebook empire at a time when Zuckerberg is grappling with a series of crises at the social network he built. Facebook is under fire for its handling of users' data and its failure to halt the spread of misinformation, most notably during the US presidential election in 2016.

Systrom and Krieger's resignations come less than six months after the founder of another key Facebook business announced he was leaving. Jan Koum stepped down in April as CEO of messaging service WhatsApp, which Facebook bought in 2014 for $19 billion.

Brian Acton, the other WhatsApp founder, left Facebook in 2017. He backed calls earlier this year for people to delete Facebook as anger mounted over Cambridge Analytica's ability to access millions of users' data without their knowledge.

The Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco was shut down due to a crack found in one of the support beams. It had been open only for a month.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A San Francisco transit terminal which took nearly 10 years to build and cost more than $2 billion was shut down Tuesday after officials discovered a crack in a support beam. The Salesforce Transit Center had been operating for only a month.

The structure, dubbed the "Grand Central of the West" was highly anticipated before its opening. Sitting near the heart of downtown, the three-block structure was expected to accommodate 100,000 passengers each weekday, and up to 45 million people a year.

Workers discovered cracks around 10 a.m. while doing maintenance work, said Mark Zabaneh, executive director of the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, which operates the center.

Zabaneh said engineers spent the day inspecting the damage and decided to shut the station around 5 p.m., just as the afternoon rush hour started. He did not say how long the crack was or what had caused it.

The decision to close the terminal was made out of an "abundance of caution," Zabaneh said, adding that structural engineers would be working at the building through the night to assess whether it is safe for people to return.

The terminal's closing sent downtown San Francisco into chaos as buses were rerouted to a temporary transit center about two blocks away. A downtown street that runs under the beam was also ordered closed indefinitely, causing traffic jams at the same time some streets were closed for a conference sponsored by Salesforce that was expected to draw 170,000 attendees.

The terminal had faced delays in putting out contracts to bid and the winning bids were ultimately higher than expected, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Consequently, the terminal's cost rose from $1.6 billion at its 2010 groundbreaking to more than $2 billion in 2016 because of what one analyst called "optimistic assumptions," according to the paper.

The project is financed by land sales, federal stimulus grants, district fees and taxes, bridge tolls, and federal and state funds.

Former Oakland Raiders linebacker Neiron Ball is in a medically induced coma after a brain aneurysm ruptured

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Former Oakland Raiders linebacker Neiron Ball is in a medically induced coma after a brain aneurysm ruptured Sept. 16, the team said Tuesday.

Ball, 26, was diagnosed while at Florida with a rare, congenital condition called an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), in which the brain's blood vessels get tangled and rupture. He underwent emergency surgery after physicians discovered a brain bleed prior to his sophomore year, and he sat out the 2011 season.

However, once he resumed playing football, he continued to excel for the Gators and was selected by the Raiders in the fifth round of the 2015 draft. He played six games for the Raiders in 2015 and rose to a starting role, before a knee injury derailed his career.

The Raiders ask that Neiron Ball and his family are kept in the thoughts and prayers of the Raider Nation during this difficult time.

- Oakland Raiders (@Raiders) September 25, 2018

Doctors had told Ball and his family that it was unlikely his AVM would recur, and that football presented no specific danger in Ball's case.

The Aneurysm and AVM Foundation, which according to The Mercury News spoke to Ball's family, tweeted: "We believed Neiron's #AVM was obliterated, that doesn't seem to be the case as he developed an aneurysm which burst. His family asks for continued prayers."

Grandfather dies protecting his grandson in 150-foot cliff fall

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 13-year-old boy is alive after the car he was in tumbled 150 feet down a mountain in New Mexico.

Austyn Kerley was on an off-roading trip with his family near the Red River earlier this month when he and his grandfather, Gerard Greenough, 63, got their jeep stuck on a mountain trail.

Greenough floored the car to try to and get free, but the rocks beneath the vehicle began to slide, sending the vehicle tumbling down the mountain.

Amanda Kerley

"As the Jeep tipped, my dad grabbed my son and cocooned him, to protect him from the fall with him in his arms. The jeep rolled 150 feet down the mountain," Austyn's mother, Amanda Kerley, told ABC News.

Austin's father, Tony, and his brother, Tyler, were able to reach Austyn and haul him up the mountain.

An off-duty paramedic who was nearby slid down the mountain and attempted CPR on Greenough for roughly 20 minutes, but was unable to save him.

Amanda Kerley

Two passersby rushed Austyn down the mountain trail to an ambulance, and the boy was later taken in a helicopter to the University New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque.

Amanda said that Austyn went into respiratory failure before reaching the ambulance, but still survived.

"He is a miracle," said Amanda.

Austyn suffered from major blood loss, a lacerated pancreas and liver, broken clavicles and spinal fractures in his neck and back, according to his mother.

He was released from the hospital ahead of schedule, and is recovering at home.

As soon as he is able, Austyn and his family plan on hiking up to the crash site to honor the memory of his grandfather.

Mother of four was ordered to stop breastfeeding on an EasyJet Plane before take off.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A mom-of-four has hit out at easyJet after she was ordered to stop breastfeeding her baby during a flight - and had to pry the infant off her mid-feed.

Kelly Edgson-Payne, 36, was "mortified," and she and one-year-old son Lex were both left in tears, as a male member of cabin crew told her she could not feed her baby during takeoff.

And when the sports therapist raised the issue with easyJet Customer Services, she was told she was welcome to breastfeed her baby on their flights, "as long as you are discreet."
THOMAS COOK AIRLINE PASSENGER ALLEGEDLY BOOTED FROM FLIGHT OVER STRAWBERRY ALLERGY
Edgson-Payne, a mom of four from England who says she has never had an issue breastfeeding any of her children on flights, has slammed easyJet for "not seeming to know the law about breastfeeding."

"It's just absolutely crazy that I was told that I couldn't feed him - crazy, and really embarrassing for me. I find it really disappointing that an airline I trust, and who we fly with all the time, actually broke the law in discriminating against me as a breastfeeding mother," said Edgson-Payne, from Rochester, Kent.

"The law in the U.K. says it protects breastfeeding mothers - and even easyJet's own website says mothers are welcome to breastfeed at any time during a flight," she added.

"There's just no consistency in their messages. They should not be discriminating against breastfeeding."

Edgson-Payne was flying from London Gatwick to Fuerteventura, Spain, on Aug. 20 with her husband Ross, 40, and four children, when the unpleasant incident took place.
FIRST-TIME FLYER TRIES OPENING EMERGENCY EXIT, THINKING IT WAS THE BATHROOM
"We fly with easyJet literally all the time, and I have always breastfed all my children over the years during takeoff, because their ears pop which and its uncomfortable for them," she said.

"Most other cabin crew would actually encourage breastfeeding during takeoff, because it distracts them and stops them from crying ... I've never before been told that I can't feed Lex, or any of my other children - and we've flown with him about 16 times in the last year."

Edgson-Payne said that on he Aug. 20 flight, she got settled in her seat and started feeding her son, as she "usually" would.

"Then a male member of cabin crew came over and told me I couldn't feed him during takeoff, and that I'd have to stop and strap him in to his infant seat next to me," Edgson-Payne claimed.

"It was just crazy. I said, 'Well, he's feeding.' But I just had to stop mid-feed and hand him to my husband. I was mortified. I'm not afraid to breastfeed my baby wherever - I've stopped at a break point during a marathon before and fed him - but this left me embarrassed and in tears," she added.

"I had to very quickly cover myself up - but my breasts were still leaking milk, because I had stopped mid-feed. Even my eldest daughter, who is 9, said, 'Mummy, they can't tell you not to breastfeed him.'"

Edgson-Payne, mom to Mia, 9, Elena, 5, Jax, 3, and Lex, 1, said a female member of cabin crew later approached her after takeoff and apologized for the incident.

"The two of them had a bit of a hoo-ha, and she then later came up to me and said, 'I'm sorry about that, ignore him, he's wrong," she said.

"What annoys and disappoints me is that there is no consistency. On their website they state, 'We support breastfeeding mothers and you can feed your baby on board at any time.' But when I emailed their customer services about it afterwards, I was told, 'Passengers are allowed to breastfeed their babies on board the aircraft, as long as you are doing this in a discreet manner.'

"The ironic thing is, since having my third and fourth children, whenever I fly I have always booked my infant a seat next to me. So I've never in the last six years sat next to a random passenger," explained Edgson-Payne.

"Up until the cabin crew told me I couldn't breastfeed, I don't think any other passengers were even paying any attention to me at all."

Edgson-Payne added that all easyJet offered her a voucher for 25 pounds to be used toward another flight in the way of compensation.

"I just want them to make themselves aware of the law so no other mums have to go through this," she added.

A spokesperson for easyJet said: "easyJet supports breastfeeding and customers flying with easyJet can breastfeed at any time during the flight.

"It is not our policy to ask mothers to be discreet and we make this very clear in our training.

"This flight was operated by another airline on our behalf and while they should follow easyJet policies we are sorry this did not happen on this occasion.

"We have followed up to ensure this does not happen in future."

A woman boarded a plane, letting the flight attendants know that she had a very serious allergy to strawberries or strawberry products. The menu interfered with this allergy, and the attendants threatened to kick her off of the plane.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A woman flying to Manchester from the Greek island of Zakynthos on a Thomas Cook flight last Thursday claims she was threatened by airline staff with removal from the plane because of her severe strawberry allergy.

Chloe Fitzpatrick, 19, and her boyfriend Matthew Higson were reportedly boarding the flight when Fitzpatrick informed the airline crew of her airborne allergy to all strawberry products.

According to Lancashire Telegraph, airline crew told Fitzpatrick that they would make an announcement to the other passengers. However, shortly after the pair took their seats, a member of the airline staff came over and told Fitzpatrick she was "not comfortable" having someone with her allergy on the flight, the Telegraph reports.

The 19-year-old then claims she was told to figure out her own way home.

"I was told I would have to sort out an alternative way home," she said to the Lancashire Telegraph. "[The crew member] then listed times where other passengers who had been refused to fly due to their allergies."

"She said the pilot had agreed with her and was not comfortable having such a passenger on board," Fitzpatrick continued. "I was then told it was an unfair expectation to refuse other passengers full access to the onboard menu."

Fitzpatrick said she was told the flight would not cater to one person "at the expense of the other 200" on the plane.

"The manager then asked if she could serve the products just to customers at the front of the plane," Fitzpatrick said to Lancashire Telegraph. "She appeared to have no understanding of the concept of an airborne anaphylactic allergy. I felt belittled and patronized and embarrassed about my condition."

However, the airline crew did agree to remove the strawberry products from sale for the duration of the flight, and allowed Fitzpatrick to stay on the plane.
NEWLYWEDS SLAM POLICE ESCORT OFF THOMAS COOK FLIGHT AFTER PLANE FOOD COMPLAINT
Fitzpatrick, who was diagnosed with the allergy at 10 months old, said she has always advised cabin crew of her allergy when she travels and never had an issue.

"I feel very badly let down by Thomas Cook and find it difficult to comprehend the difference in attitude of the cabin crew on our way to Zakynthos compared to the way I was treated on the return flight home. On our outbound flight the cabin crew were so understanding and could not have done more for me," she said.

"I hope lessons can be learned from my experience and that they will review their cabin crew training," she added.

Thomas Cook Airlines told Fox News it is up to the captain and crew to decide the best course of action for the safety of the passengers.

"The safety of our customers and crew is always our first priority. When a customer lets us know that they have an allergy, the cabin manager will share the information with the captain and crew as part of their pre-flight briefing to decide on the best course of action, based on the severity of the allergy.

"On speaking with both Ms. Fitzpatrick and the captain, the cabin manager made an announcement to all customers asking them to refrain from opening products containing strawberries that they may have brought on board, and advised that no products containing strawberries would be sold on the flight."

A rights group says a 22-year-old woman was killed after Morocco's Royal Navy opened fire on a boat suspected of carrying migrants.

The head of Morocco's Northern Observatory for Human Rights said three other migrants were also wounded in Tuesday's incident.

Mohamed Benaïssa told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the victim was a law student who "died before reaching the hospital."

The boat was carrying 25 Moroccan nationals and two Spanish captains, now in army custody. Morocco's Interior Ministry said the boat was illegally transporting migrants.

It was the second time in recent days that Morocco's Royal Navy intervened to stop a boat suspected of carrying migrants across the Mediterranean, and comes amid growing concerns about migrant trafficking in the western Mediterranean region.

Danish tourist slammed by wildlife official for jumping on crocodile

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A young man claiming to be the "Danish Crocodile Dundee" has been chastised by Australian wildlife officials who find no humor in a "reckless" stunt where he jumped on a massive crocodile.

Niels Jensen made waves on social media Monday for hopping on the back of a burly saltwater crocodile, which was roughly 15 feet and weighed over 1,430 pounds, News.com.au reported.

In the 50-second clip, which has been viewed over 9,700 times on YouTube, the 22-year-old baits the reptile with a wallaby carcass in what's believed to be a wildlife park near Darwin in the North Territory, as per Newsweek.

After bringing the crocodile to a halt by distracting him with the carcass, Jensen walks behind the creature, hops on its back and beams at the camera.

Though his companions can be heard giggling in the background, an Australian wildlife official says the incident is no laughing matter.

"Saltwater crocodiles are large and potentially dangerous animals and we encourage everyone to be croc-wise at all times," Tracy Duldig, acting director of operations for the region's Department of Tourism and Culture, told CairnsPost.com.au of the stunt.

According to Newsweek, Jensen is a recent grad of a wildlife management course, and has been busy traveling through and working in the area.

"After seeing what a crocodile is capable of doing, I don't think it was dangerous, I know [it was]," he admitted. "Even with a crocodile like this that is used to humans, it is a scary feeling sitting on something that could kill you in a fraction of a second."

Moving forward, Duldig told Newsweek that Jensen may face an investigation - regarding not the crocodile, but the dead wallaby.

"This is a protected species and it is illegal to take or interfere with protected wildlife. Heavy penalties can apply," she said. "The Department ... will investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident."

An Arizona man who fired at police officers after allegedly stealing a bottle of milk from a Walmart store was fatally shot when officers returned fire, authorities said.

An employee of the Walmart in Peoria, near Phoenix, had called police around 6 p.m. Monday to report the stolen milk, according to FOX 10 of Phoenix.

The suspect was later identified as Michael John Stout, 20, of Peoria. Responding officers said they saw a man matching the employee's description of Stout standing outside the store's garden center, the Arizona Republic reported.

After parking the vehicle, one officer got out. Police said Stout fired in their direction, striking multiple rounds into their vehicle. The officer in the vehicle got out and fired back, while the other officer fired from inside the vehicle, police said.

The officer's rounds hit Stout and he fell down, the Republic reported. The officers provided medical assistance to Stout. Police said Stout was transferred to a hospital where he was pronounced dead the following morning, FOX 10 reported.

Investigators discovered Stout had been using a handgun that was stolen from a vehicle on Monday morning. Video footage from the officers' body-worn cameras was not immediately available.

No one else was injured during the shooting.

Nikki Glaser was the first Dancing With the Stars celebrity to be eliminated from the show. She was eliminated ultimately for her score but she made a joke and the crowd took it the wrong way.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Comedienne Nikki Glaser was the first celebrity eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" season 27-- after she made an inappropriate joke on the live Tuesday night results show!

The funny gal told host Tom Bergeron before her ouster that she'd had "a lot of rejection in my life and a lot of rough sets."

The barely ready for prime time joke caused audience groans -- and seemed particularly cringe worthy coming on the night "DWTS" promoted the adorable child stars of its upcoming spinoff, "DWTS: Juniors."

Quick-thinking Bergeron reiterated that Glaser had said "rough sets," not "sex," and when the camera cut to his co-host Erin Andrews, she ad-libbed, "Welcome back to ABC prime time!"

At the end of the night, however, it was Glaser's awkward dancing that did her in instead of her envelope-pushing humor.

Glaser, a BFF of Amy Schumer, followed her weak Monday night performance score of 17 out of 30 by getting just 18 out of 30 for salsa in the "DWTS" elimination round on Tuesday.

I hope that I just proved that I did the scariest thing I've ever done, and I tried my best. I'm gonna cry. It was so fun. Thank you for having me.
- Nikki Glaser

The comedienne said after she got the bad news with partner Gleb Savchenko, "I hope that I just proved that I did the scariest thing I've ever done, and I tried my best. I'm gonna cry. It was so fun. Thank you for having me."

On Tuesday, the hit ABC reality show began with recap segments and then, five of the lowest-scoring couples from the night before had to dance again.

In addition to Glaser, that wound up being gymnast Mary Lou Retton, who scored 21 for her second dance; blind Paralympian Danelle Umstead, who earned 18 points; model Alexis Ren, who garnered 23, and former "Facts of Life" star Nancy McKeon, quickstepping to a score of 21.
BRISTOL PALIN'S SON, TRIPP JOHNSTON, ANNOUNCED IN 'DWTS: JUNIOR'S CAST
During the show, fans learned the identity of all the "DWTS: Juniors Stars," including Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and Bristol Palin's son, Tripp Johnston. The kids did a group dance during the introductions as audience members cheered them on.

Later, "Juniors" cast member Mackenzie Ziegler, the sister of "Dance Moms" kid Maddie Ziegler, performed a song.

The "DWTS" spinoff premieres on ABC on Sunday, October 7.

After bidding Glaser goodbye on the "DWTS" adults' show, all of the remaining stars and their pro partners moved on to next week's competition.

That included fan favorite, "Dukes of Hazzard" star John Schneider, whose pro partner Emma Slater told Fox News after the show, "I was worried [about elimination night]...I was just really proud of him. People don't realize how charming he is and how much he wants to be here. He has an appreciation for dance and is so willing to learn and I've been having a blast with him."

Judge Steven O'Neill sentenced Cosby in a Norristown, Pennsylvania, courtroom, and then denied bail during pending appeals, capping a two-day hearing attended by about a dozen women who accused Cosby of sexual assault, including Andrea Constand, whom he was convicted of assaulting in his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.

He ordered that Cosby be taken into custody immediately. Cosby, who had removed his pinstriped suit jacket, was escorted out of the courtroom by guards with his hands cuffed in front of him. He held his cane in his right hand.

"It's been a long journey to get here and today justice was served. It has been a long time coming, but it arrived when a convicted felon named William H. Cosby Jr. left the courtroom in handcuffs headed off to state prison for his crimes," Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said with Constand standing at his side at a press conference following the sentencing.

Judge O'Neill rejected a request from defense attorneys to allow Cosby to be released on bail pending appeals.

O'Neill ordered Cosby to serve the sentence in "total confinement" for "no less than 3 years and no more than 10 years."

"Mr. Cosby, you were convicted of a very serious crime," O'Neill said, adding "that you penetrated Andrea Constand's genitals with your hands without her permission."

No remorse

O'Neill called Cosby's crime a "planned predation."

The judge noted that Cosby has never shown any remorse and has not sought any kind of psychological counseling.

O'Neill told Constand that her victim impact statement presented to the judge in writing and partly giving in court Monday was a major factor in helping him decide Cosby's sentence.

"I put a high degree of weight on the impact of the victim and her family," O'Neill said.

In a written statement to O'Neill, which was released Tuesday, Constand wrote, "Bill Cosby took my beautiful, healthy young spirit and crushed it. He robbed me of my health and vitality, my open nature, and my trust in myself and others."

Before sentencing Cosby, O'Neill asked defense attorney Joseph Green whether Cosby wanted to make a statement before he is sentenced. Cosby declined.

"This has been a long journey for justice for all of the accusers, particularly for Andrea Constand and her family," said attorney Gloria Allred, who represents 33 women who have accused Cosby of sexual abuse. "This is an important day. Judgment day has come."

Chelan Lasha, who says Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1986 in a Las Vegas hotel room when she was 17, said she had hoped for a harsher sentence for Cosby.

"But I'm very happy to know that Mr. Cosby will do time in prison, that he's touchable like he touched us," Lasha said after the sentencing hearing.

From VIP to SVP

Earlier Tuesday, Judge O'Neill designated Cosby a "sexually violent predator."

Cosby appeared alert, cooperative and engaged as he answered a series of questions from prosecutor M. Stuart Ryan designed to determine whether he fully comprehended the implications and consequences of the "sexually violent predator" designation.

Pennsylvania state law defines a person with such a designation has "a mental abnormality or personality disorder that makes the person likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses." The consequences of such a designation are severe and lifelong.

The designation also means that Cosby will be required by law to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and be subject to the most stringent requirements a sex offender can incur.

At one point, Cosby interrupted Ryan with a question: "If I went from the city to another city ... even if it's just overnight, do I have to get in touch with the state police?"

Ryan suggested Cosby seek the counsel of his attorneys.

Cosby's lawyers had pleaded with O'Neill Monday not to send the entertainer they described as an 81-year-old, infirmed blind man to prison but rather place him under house arrest.

Steele asked O'Neill to incarcerate Cosby with a maximum sentence of 10 years.

Cosby was convicted in April of drugging and molesting Constand, a former director of operations of women's basketball at Cosby's alma mater Temple University who once considered the comedian a mentor. The assault occurred in 2004 at Cosby's suburban Philadelphia home.

Constand told O'Neill Monday she wanted "justice as the court sees fit."

"Racist and sexist trial"

After Cosby's was taken to a Montgomery County jail for processing before he is transferred to state prison, his spokesman Andrew Wyatt blasted the trial and conviction as "the most racist and sexist trial in the history of the United States."

He said Cosby "is doing great" and "knows that God is watching over him."

"They persecuted Jesus and look what happened," Wyatt said. "I'm not saying Mr. Cosby is Jesus, but we know what this country has done to black men for centuries."

Cosby's wife of 54 years, Camille Cosby, did not attend Tuesday's hearing, but released a statement, saying, "We have now learned that Bill Cosby was denied his right to a fair trial..."

In 18 different states an outbreak of Campylobacter disease, the cause being puppies from 6 different pet stores.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report last week with details about a Campylobacter outbreak you may have heard about.

Between 2016 and 2018, 118 people across 18 states were infected. Twenty-four percent of them had to be hospitalized, and fortunately, everyone recovered. The source? Puppies from six different pet stores.

The investigation of the outbreak is over now, but there are still some things you should keep in mind to prevent an infection in the future. Here's everything you need to know about the issue.

What is Campylobacter?

Campylobacter is a bacteria that causes a diarrheal illness in humans. Symptoms of infection include diarrhea (which is often bloody), abdominal cramping, and fever. Additional symptoms can include nausea and vomiting. These symptoms usually start within a couple of days of exposure and last up to one week.

Animals, even those that show no signs of the illness, can transmit the infection to humans. Chickens, in particular, are known to harbor the infection, and eating undercooked poultry is usually the way that humans can get sick. Drinking milk from an infected cow is another way. And then there's also consuming fruit, vegetables, and water that's made contact with contaminated feces from sick animals.

Dogs - most often puppies - can become ill with Campylobacter. Infections have been traced to dogs in the past, but this most recent outbreak is by far the largest we've seen.

How is Campylobacter diagnosed and treated?

If you have symptoms of Campylobacter, doctors can diagnose it by testing your stool.

There isn't a special treatment for a Campylobacter infection, but people should take time to rest and hydrate themselves - as with any diarrheal illness. Intravenous fluids can be given to those who cannot keep food or water down on their own.

In certain cases, especially if the person has an impaired immune system, a doctor might prescribe antibiotics.

What's important about this outbreak?

The 2016-2018 Campylobacter outbreak was the largest one ever sourced from puppies. It first came to light when the CDC was notified of six cases of Campylobacter infections in Florida. All six people had been to the same pet store.

With this first clue, state and local health departments set out to gather more information, including sequencing the genome of the particular strains of bacteria. The strains of Campylobacter looked a lot like the ones found in an Ohio pet store, they found.

Subsequent investigations throughout the country concluded that puppies in six stores - from various breeders, transporters, and distributors - had transmitted the infection to people in 18 states. They could not find a single source of the infection - only where it appeared.

Another thing that made this outbreak different is that the bacteria transmitted from these puppies were multi-drug resistant, meaning they didn't respond to typical antibiotics. This can pose a real problem for those that need treatment since the usual arsenal of medicines doesn't work against it.

The CDC found that 95 percent of the puppies involved had been given antibiotics - an act that can breed resistant germs - and reminded the public that antibiotics should only be given to animals under the supervision of a trained veterinarian.

What's my risk of infection?

Because the outbreak lasted so long and it was transmitted from one dog to another, there's a chance that this particular bacteria is still out there lurking in pups, even though the outbreak is considered to be over. If you have a dog, exercising proper hygiene when cleaning up after them - using gloves and washing your hands, for example - can help prevent the spread of this bug.

Puppies spread the Campylobacter outbreak across 18 states: What you need to know

Uber will not allow individual drivers to band together to a law suit against uber themselves such as entitlements.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Uber can prevent its drivers from banding together in class-action lawsuits, a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled on Tuesday.

The decision ends a case in which drivers attempted to unite to pursue claims that they ought to be considered employees instead of independent contractors.

As employees, they argue, they are entitled to benefits such as reimbursements for gas.

The employee vs. independent contractor debate has been going on for years. On one hand, independent contractors are cheaper to hire, and unlike employees, companies are not required to provide them with the same benefits. Uber has long insisted that many of its drivers want to be their own bosses, and value their independence.

Tuesday's decision de-certifies a class of 240,000 Uber drivers, attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan of Lichten & Liss-Riordan, P.C. who is representing the drivers, told CNN. To pursue claims against Uber, they will have to do so individually.

"We have, unfortunately, been long expecting this," she said in a statement. "Thousands of drivers have already signed up for individual arbitration. If Uber wants to resolve these disputes one by one, we are ready to do that -- one by one."

The ruling comes as no surprise to those, like Riordan, who paid close attention to the US Supreme Court's decision in a lawsuit against Epic Systems Corporation that came down in May.

The justices rules in favor of Epic Systems in a fight against the National Labor Relations board, and deemed that arbitration agreements are enforceable.

Uber's arbitration agreements require workers to pursue claims on an individual basis. Even when Uber made a significant policy change earlier this year in response to a CNN report into sexual assault and abuse by drivers, Uber said it would still not allow victims to join together as a class. Victims wouldn't be forced into arbitration, but must seek arbitration, mediation or open court on an individual basis.

Still, Riordan hasn't given up: "We are considering our options, including an en banc [full court] appeal to the entire Ninth Circuit. In the meantime ... we are urging all Uber drivers who want to pursue these misclassification claims to contact us immediately to sign up for individual arbitration," Riordan said.

When reached for comment, an Uber spokesperson said: "We are pleased with the Court's decision."

The suspect was later identified as Michael John Stout, 20, of Peoria. Responding officers said they saw a man matching the employee's description of Stout standing outside the store's garden center, the Arizona Republic reported.

After parking the vehicle, one officer got out. Police said Stout fired in their direction, striking multiple rounds into their vehicle. The officer in the vehicle got out and fired back, while the other officer fired from inside the vehicle, police said.

The officer's rounds hit Stout and he fell down, the Republic reported. The officers provided medical assistance to Stout. Police said Stout was transferred to a hospital where he was pronounced dead the following morning, FOX 10 reported.

Investigators discovered Stout had been using a handgun that was stolen from a vehicle on Monday morning. Video footage from the officers' body-worn cameras was not immediately available.

No one else was injured during the shooting.
