A helicopter crashed into a Southern California home shortly after takeoff Tuesday, killing three people and injuring two others, officials said.

The four-seat Robinson R44 went down in a gated community in Newport Beach, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. Four people were on board the helicopter.

The injured were taken to hospitals but there was no immediate word on their condition.

"I was upstairs and all of a sudden the house just shook and I thought, 'Oh my gosh, we're having an earthquake,'" said Marian Michaels, who lives behind the home where the helicopter crashed.

Roger Johnson was doing some woodwork in his garage when he heard the sound of a helicopter and then a tremendous boom across the street.

"I turned to look out of the garage and that's when I see this piece of metal flying through the air and hitting a bush and garage door," Johnson said. "Then I heard someone scream - a real for-real horror scream, like something terrible had happened."

Johnson rushed to the wreckage and several people started to try to pull victims out of the helicopter. That's when Johnson urged them not to move them for fear of further injuring them.

Fire Chief Chip Duncan confirmed the three deaths and injuries but could not say how many of the dead were aboard the aircraft.

A neighbor who heard the crash told KCAL-TV that he saw the pilot lying injured but alive on the grass and three other people inside the wreckage.

"We tried to pry them out but we didn't want to touch them," said the neighbor, who was not identified by the television station. "We didn't want to take a chance of hurting anybody."

"The three people were all crunched in there together," he said. "One I could see moving an arm."

The helicopter crashed into the house with such force that it was barely recognizable. The crushed metal sat in a heap on the side of the house, its tail rotor sticking out of the roof of a nearby home a 6-foot (1.8-meter) chunk lying down the street in front of yet another house.

Audrey Ellis, who lives next door to the house where the crash happened, was not home at the time but said her neighbors told her they were in the kitchen when the helicopter hit the bedroom of their house.

"It's so scary," Ellis said, adding that her neighbors weren't hurt. "I'm so thankful."

The aircraft had taken off from John Wayne Airport, said Ian Gregor, a spokesman with the Federal Aviation Administration. The airport is about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from the crash site. There was no fire.

Messages seeking comment from Revolution Aviation, which is based at the airport and operated the helicopter, were not immediately returned.

The company offers helicopter and airplane classes, the use of aircraft for photography and video production as well as sightseeing flights.

The crash happened two days after a small plane heading toward the airport made a nighttime emergency landing on a nearby freeway. The pilot and passenger weren't hurt.

The pilot, Israel Slod, said the engine of the Beech G33 suddenly died as the plane was en route from San Diego to the airport.

The aircraft landed on State Route 55 in Costa Mesa, a few miles north of Newport Beach.

After taking his daughter, Ariba Kahn, to the hospital due to a coughing fit and fever, doctors discover that she swallowed a small light bulb. It became stuck in her right bronchus, a tube to the lung. It was quickly removed using forceps by the doctors who had originally found it.

A little girl from India swallowed a tiny light bulb and survived. Her father, Naushad Khan, took his daughter Ariba to the hospital because she had a fever and couldn't stop coughing.

According to a report from news service SWNS, the girl's father thought she might have swallowed a thread while playing with a toy mobile phone.

But X-rays revealed an LED bulb was stuck in her right bronchus - the tube going to the lung.

She was first given antibiotics and steroids to clear an infection caused by the bulb before it was removed.

Divya Prabhat, head of the ENT department at Wadia Children's Hospital and the doctor who performed the procedure, said "Within two minutes this foreign body was removed using forceps."

"To our surprise this happened to be a 2-centimeter LED bulb, which I have not seen before, despite performing thousands of bronchoscopies."

Fierce, deadly flu season still not peaked, CDC says

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Influenza activity continues to be widespread in all states except Hawaii, according to the weekly flu report released Friday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

All while, based on the latest data, the flu season has not even peaked yet, said Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the CDC.

"Hopefully we're in the peak currently, since the data is a week behind, or that it peaks soon. Regardless, there is a lot of flu activity happening across the country and likely many more weeks to come," Nordlund said.

The deaths of seven more children were reported this week, bringing the total number of pediatric deaths for the season, which began in October, to 37.

There were 11,965 laboratory-confirmed flu-related hospitalizations reported from October 1 to January 20. The number of people infected with influenza could be much higher because not everyone goes to their doctor when they are sick nor do doctors test every patient.

Additionally, there were 41.9 hospitalizations for every 100,000 people. That's an increase from the week before on par with the increases the CDC has noticed from week to week for the past couple of weeks.

Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. Flu can cause mild to severe illness, but also turn deadly.

"It's still not too late to get vaccinated, as we're starting to see some increase in Influenza A H1N1 and Influenza B activity," she said, adding that if you think you have flu or if you are at a high risk for complications from flu, it is important to seek care early.

"Influenza antiviral treatment is recommended as early as possible for people at high risk, which includes children younger than age 5 but especially less than age 2, adults age 65 and over, pregnant women, and people with underlying medical conditions such as lung disease, heart disease and diabetes -- in children, a big category includes those with neurologic or developmental disorders," she said.

Flu is everywhere, may be declining in the West

Over the past 15 flu seasons, the current season is the first time all states in the entire continental US have reported widespread flu activity during the same week, according to the CDC.

During a call with reporters on Friday, Dr. Daniel Jernigan, director of the influenza division in the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease at CDC, pointed to two notable characteristics of this flu season.

"The first is that flu activity became widespread within almost all states and jurisdictions at the same time. The second notable characteristic is that flu activity has now stayed at the same level at the national level for three weeks in a row with 49 states reporting widespread activity each week for three weeks," he said. "We often see different parts of the country light up at different times, but for the past three weeks the entire country has been experiencing lots of flu all at the same time."

From New York to California, health care providers and state officials are taking matters into their own hands to do what they can to protect their patients and residents.

"We are certainly seeing the impact of flu at our hospital locally," said Dr. Patricia Whitley-Williams, professor and chief of the division of pediatric allergy, immunology, and infectious diseases at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order on Thursday allowing pharmacists to administer flu shots to children between the ages of 2 and 16. In addition, insurers have been asked to waive pre-authorization requirements for antiviral medications within the first 48 hours of illness.

Over the past week, the state has diagnosed a record high number of flu cases and hospitalizations, with 1,759 New Yorkers being hospitalized with confirmed flu, according to Cuomo's office.

Schools in Gulf County, Florida closed Friday due to "a significant impact from influenza-like cases" among students and staff, according to an announcement from the superintendent of Gulf County Schools, on the school district's Facebook page.

Schools in Gunter, Texas closed "due to widespread flu and illness" for an entire week and reopened on Wednesday, according to an announcement from the Gunter Independent School District's superintendent. The school district closed after 253 student absences, with the majority being due to either confirmed flu or flu-like symptoms.

While there's not one state in particular seeing the worst or higher flu activity than others, "we are seeing some signs that flu is on the decline in the West," CDC's Nordlund said.

During the call with reporters, Jernigan said, "we have several more weeks of flu to go, however, we have some signs that flu activity may have peaked in some parts of the country. California and other states on the West Coast are seeing activity begin to go down."

'We tend to forget very rapidly the impact that influenza has'

Dr. Randy Bergen, clinical lead of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Flu Vaccine Program, has been tracking laboratory surveillance and outpatient data for flu cases this season.

In a normal peak week of the flu season, Bergen said that Kaiser Northern California typically orders about 2,000 to 3,000 respiratory viral tests.

At week 52 of this flu season, which was the last week of 2017, however, "we did over 5,000 respiratory viral tests," he said. "So, I think those are kind of the most compelling numbers that perhaps I can give you for how severe this flu season is."

The current pervasiveness of the flu across the country appears to be similar to what was seen during peak flu season from 2014 to 2015, said Dr. Pedro Piedra, professor of molecular virology and microbiology and pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

That yearthe H3N2 subtype of the influenza A virus was the dominant strain making people sick, which appears to be the same strain being seen this year. It is typically associated with higher rates of hospitalizations and deaths, as was the case in 2014 to 2015.

"We tend to forget very rapidly the impact that influenza has on our communities, and we often times have flu seasons just as intense as this one, but we forget it," Piedra said.

"Every so often -- it's really like every other year to every third year -- where we have a flu season that is intense," he said. "We are reminded about the number of deaths that we see, about the number of hospitalizations, the number of outpatient visits, but this happens."

At this point, Jernigan said that no one knows how the flu season will end, but it's currently tracking at the same level as 2014-15 season, "which was the last high severity season" the country has seen.

"These numbers can change. We may go above the 2014-15 season, and so I think it's a little hard to make some of those comparisons," he said. "From an activity standpoint, we're seeing the most influenza-like illness activity since 2009, and for hospitalizations we're seeing about the same rates that we saw in 2014-15."

Things to do to avoid the flu

To help prevent getting the flu this season, there is still time to get a flu shot, Whitley-Williams said.

"Even if you get the flu, having received the flu vaccine may help you in terms of not having as serious a course or as devastating a course," she said. "It may prevent you from being hospitalized if you have received a vaccine, so there is still that benefit in some cases."

She added that if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, and think that you may have the flu, it might be time to call your doctor -- especially if you have a persistent fever, weakness, or body aches that won't go away even with over-the-counter medications.

Regardless, "if you're pregnant, you definitely want to go in and see the doctor. If you're over 65, you definitely want to go in and see the doctor, and if you are under 5 years of age," she said. "These are the groups that are at highest risk."

In addition, the good old advice to wash your hands still holds true as well as keeping your germs to yourself.

From shoals of fish swimming in the Red Sea to the spectacular Valley of Thor in (CNN) - Iceland, there's no shortage of natural wonders showcased in 2017's winning Outdoor Photographer of the Year entries.

Now in its seventh year, this prestigious competition continues to showcase the best images taken by adventurers across the world.

This year the competition received over 18,000 entries by photographers from over 60 countries.

The overall winner and runner-up won't be unveiled until March -- but the nine category winners have been announced.

The creative categories include "Wildlife Insight," "Spirit of Travel" and "Young Outdoor Photographer of the Year."

Winner of the "At the Water's Edge" category is Witold Ziomek, from Poland, who photographed Thórsmörk (the valley of Thor) in Iceland. His spectacular shot captures this mist-ridden gorge from an elevated position, adding to the sense of grandeur.

"Wildlife Insight" was won by Jose Fragozo from Portugal, who captured giraffes roaming in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.

Meanwhile, a particularly dramatic shot was taken by Mikolaj Nowacki, from Poland, who photographed the captain of a yacht traversing the Baltic Sea, en route to the Danish island of Christiansø.

"It was a stormy day, but the captain -- who has more than 40 years of experience sailing in open seas -- remained completely calm and relaxed, even though waves were breaking over him every few minutes," says Nowacki in a statement.

Calmer moments were captured by British photographers Simon Baxter and William Mallet. Baxter photographed an eerie private woodland, taking home the winning shot in "Light on the Land." Meanwhile Mallet photographed snails on his asparagus plant in his garden.

A new 2017 category was "A View from Above," aimed at drone photographers.

Tom Sweetman from the UK won this award with his vibrant shot of rushing rivers in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Meanwhile, 12-year-old Josiah Launstein from Canada won the coveted "Young Outdoor Photographer of the Year" prize for his shot of a Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep in British Columbia in Canada.

"I love bighorns, and Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep are extra-special because they are an endangered species," says Launstein in a statement.

"Photographing at -25 C [-13 F] is always a challenge and I was afraid I wouldn't have time to get my camera on my tripod before the ram disappeared from view," he adds.

Launstein used his natural instinct to capture the moment for posterity.

The Outdoor Photographer of the Year competition runs in partnership with outdoor gear manufacturer Fjällräven and the overall winner will win £3,000 ($4,180) worth of equipment, garments and accessories.

The grand reveal will take place live on stage at The Photography Show at the NEC, Birmingham, UK on March 17, 2018.

The Outdoor Photographer of the Year team has also compiled a book showcasing some of the best images entered into competition.

The book, "Outdoor Photographer of the Year: Portfolio III," has been published by Ammonite Press: RRP £25 -- UK publication date March 17, 2018, US publication date August 2018 -- RRP $35.

Did Trump try to fire Mueller? Behind the scenes of president's dispute with his legal team.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The White House was rocked overnight by an explosive report that President Trump ordered the firing of Special Counsel Robert Mueller last June and only backed down after the top White House lawyer threatened to quit.

Trump, in Davos for the World Economic Forum, denied The New York Times story early Friday, calling it "fake news, folks."

Fox News is told, however, that Trump did have conversations about firing Mueller - but it might not have amounted to an outright directive.

A source told Fox News that Trump did not tell White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Mueller, but did discuss the possibility of doing so during a meeting with McGahn and others.

Trump asked McGahn if he would talk to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (who has authority over the special counsel) about it, the source said.

McGahn, though, told the president in no uncertain terms that firing Mueller - the head of the probe into possible collusion by Trump associates with Moscow - would be a horrible idea and blow up in his face, the source said. Trump took McGahn's advice and dropped active consideration of firing Mueller, though continued to reserve that as an option if Mueller's Russia investigation took an inappropriate turn, Fox News is told.

'I could fire Mueller if I want to -- I have the authority.'

Trump also told participants in the meeting that "I could fire Mueller if I want to -- I have the authority," another source said. Fox News is told McGahn did not threaten to quit.

Another source close to the White House relayed a similar account, saying Trump told top officials this past June that he wanted to fire Mueller, but was talked out of doing so by McGahn and other aides.

The source added that then-White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steven Bannon also believed last summer that Trump would fire Mueller and were worried about the political fallout.
TRUMP OPEN TO TALKING TO MUELLER
"They said, 'This is going to blow up,'" the source recounted to Fox News.

White House lawyer Ty Cobb declined to comment on either the source's account or The New York Times report "out of respect for the Office of the Special Counsel and its process."

According to the Times report, which cited "four people told of the matter," Trump claimed that Mueller had three conflicts of interest that disqualified him from overseeing the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

Those conflicts included the fact that Mueller had been interviewed to replace the fired James Comey as FBI director the day before he was appointed special counsel in May. Another alleged conflict Trump cited was that Mueller had once resigned his membership at Trump National Golf Club in northern Virginia in a dispute over fees.

The Times also reported that McGahn told White House officials that Trump would not carry out Mueller's firing on his own.

The Times also reported that Trump considered firing Rosenstein and elevating Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand to oversee Mueller's investigation. The report did not say what Trump's rationale for dismissing Rosenstein would be.
TRUMP SETS RED LINE FOR MUELLER ON RUSSIA PROBE, WARNS HE'LL EXPOSE 'CONFLICTS'
The response from Democrats was nearly immediate. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said that if the report in The Times is true, Trump has crossed a "red line."

"Any attempt to remove the Special Counsel, pardon key witnesses or otherwise interfere in the investigation would be a gross abuse of power, and all members of Congress, from both parties, have a responsibility to our Constitution and to our country to make that clear immediately," Warner said.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation in early March after acknowledging that he had two previously undisclosed encounters with the Russian ambassador during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

On Wednesday, Trump told reporters that "I'd love to" talk to Mueller as part of the investigation, subject to his lawyers' approval. The president has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and told reporters that there was "no collusion whatsoever" and "no obstruction whatsoever."

Oprah and Reese Witherspoon both suffered a photoshop fails on the cover of Vanity Fair. The actress appeared to have three legs in the photo.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Twitterverse is freaking out over professional shots of Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon, in which both actresses appear to have some extra body parts.

On Thursday, Vanity Fair released its 24th annual, Annie Leibovitz shot, Vanity Fair Hollywood issue, featuring the top 2018 faces of the industry. But instead of raising conversation about the year's top actors and actresses, the issue seemed to spark confusion over the stars' limbs.

In the cover photo, Witherspoon is garbed in a beaded gown with a high slit, that shows off her legs as she leans on friend and "Wrinkle in Time" co-star Oprah. But it appears that the actress has three legs.

Twitter users took the platform to express their confusion.

One user tweeted, "[I'm trying to] figure out how many legs Reese Witherspoon's got in here, it's been bothering me for the last five minutes."

It didn't take long for the image of Witherspoon's three legs to go viral and after catching on to the Twitter trend, the "Big Little Lies" actress jokingly said, "Well...I guess everybody knows now...I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am. (and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;)."

But Witherspoon's Photoshop fail wasn't the only one. In a separate shot of Oprah, Witherspoon and Tom Hanks, Twitter users also noticed that the talk show mogul appeared to have three hands.

One Twitter user tweeted, "Oprah has 3 hands in this photo. THREE HANDS. Reese: 3 legs. Oprah 3: hands."

In the photo, Oprah has one had wrapped around Witherspoon's waist and her other hand on hip. But then, the star appears to have another hand placed on her lap.

After Oprah's third hand became another Twitter trend, the star responded to Witherspoon's original tweet about her legs and said, "I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand."

Later on, Vanity Fair took to Twitter to defend the Witherspoon image and said in a tweet, "While we would have loved the exclusive on @RWitherspoon's three legs, unfortunately, it's just the lining of her dress."

The magazine went on to joke about Oprah's Photoshop mishap.

"As for @Oprah, how can we expect her to juggle it all with just two hands?... (We are correcting this error online.)"

Larry Nassar was sentenced to  40-175 years in prison. Judge Rosemarie Aquilina made it clear she believed he would die in prison, she went to say “I just signed your death warrant,” when she was imposing his sentence.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"This letter tells me you have not yet owned what you did," she said. "You still think somehow you are right, you're a doctor, that you're entitled, so you don't have to listen. That you did 'treatment.' I wouldn't send my dogs to you, sir."

Dr. Nassar, 54, was accused of molesting girls for years under the guise of giving them examinations or medical treatment. Some were as young as 6. Many of them were Olympic gymnasts. In November, he pleaded guilty to sexually abusing seven girls. He had already been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison for child pornography convictions.

The case and its ramifications are far from over. It has ignited outrage in the sports world and beyond, leading to the resignation this week of the chairman and several board members of the governing body for gymnastics in the United States, U.S.A. Gymnastics. Last week, the organization cut ties with the private training center at a remote Texas ranch where some of the abuse occurred.

And at Michigan State, where Dr. Nassar spent years on the faculty and treated many of its athletes, an outpouring of political pressure led to the resignation of the university's president, Lou Anna K. Simon, late Wednesday.

Ms. Simon's resignation may have just been the beginning at Michigan State, as the N.C.A.A. on Tuesday formally opened an investigation into the university's conduct.

The United States Olympic Committee, which some of the young women condemned for not doing enough to protect them when they joined the team and had to continue to see Dr. Nassar, said on Wednesday it was now taking action.

Moments after the judge delivered her sentence, the Olympic committee issued a statement calling on the entire U.S.A. Gymnastics board to resign and promising additional steps to investigate Dr. Nassar's conduct and ensure athletes are not harmed in the future. The Olympic committee's chief executive, Scott Blackmun, also apologized for not attending the hearing, after gymnasts pointedly condemned the U.S.O.C. for lack of support.

A number of civil lawsuits have also been filed.

The sentencing hearing itself, streamed live on the internet, captured national attention for extending several days to allow for victim impact statements from girls and women who said they were molested by Dr. Nassar over the years. Many of the victims had not previously identified themselves. Initial plans to conclude after four days were altered as more women came forward.

Among those who have accused him are the Olympic gold medalists Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney, Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber and Simone Biles.

The final three victims spoke on Wednesday. Rachael Denhollander, who was one of the first women to come forward with public accusations against Dr. Nassar, was the last to speak at his sentencing hearing. "Larry is the most dangerous type of abuser," she said. "One who is capable of manipulating his victims through coldly calculated grooming methodologies, presenting the most wholesome and caring external persona as a deliberate means to ensure a steady stream of young children to assault."

Judge Aquilina praised Ms. Denhollander for opening the floodgates. "You are the bravest person I have ever had in my courtroom," she said.

The sentence carries a minimum 40 years imprisonment, adhering to the terms of the plea agreement, but the judge advised that should Dr. Nassar improbably live longer than any human has, and come up for parole after serving the federal and state sentences, his time in state prison should extend to 175 years.

Nassar also pleaded guilty in November on three sexual abuse counts in a neighboring county. That sentencing is later this month.

The statements by the young women in the past week were forceful and at times anguished.

"Imagine feeling like you have no power and no voice," Ms. Raisman said in court last Friday. "Well, you know what, Larry? I have both power and voice, and I am only just beginning to use them. All these brave women have power, and we will use our voices to make sure you get what you deserve: a life of suffering spent replaying the words delivered by this powerful army of survivors."

As part of a lawsuit settlement, Ms. Maroney had signed a nondisclosure agreement with U.S.A. Gymnastics that would have caused her to be fined more than $100,000 for speaking about the abuse. After several celebrities offered to pay the fine, the organization said it would not fine her.

"Dr. Nassar was not a doctor," she said. "He in fact is, was, and forever shall be a child molester, and a monster of a human being."

In the end, though, Judge Aquilina had the final words.

"Your decision to assault was precise, calculated, manipulative, devious, despicable," she told Dr. Nassar in part. "I don't have to add words because your survivors have said all of that and I don't want to repeat it. You can't give them back their innocence, their youth."

"This letter tells me you have not yet owned what you did," she said. "You still think somehow you are right, you're a doctor, that you're entitled, so you don't have to listen. That you did 'treatment.' I wouldn't send my dogs to you, sir."

FedEx ( FDX) is the latest U.S. corporation to announce it will raise employee pay as a result of the GOP's recently passed tax reform bill.

On Friday, FedEx announced it would increase employee pay by a cumulative $200 million, about 66% of which will be allocated toward hourly workers, who will receive their 2018 annual pay increase six months earlier than scheduled.

The courier company will also voluntarily donate $1.5 billion to its pension plan.

Aside from investing in its workforce, FedEx also committed to shelling out another $1.5 billion to expand its Indianapolis hub over the next seven years and modernize its Memphis "SuperHub."

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act aimed to spur corporate investment in the U.S. through a number of new policies, most notably reducing the corporate tax rate by 14 percentage points to 21%, from the previous 35%. FedEx said in a press release that it expects the tax reform legislation will not only accomplish that goal, but that it will also strengthen U.S. GDP growth.

A number of U.S. companies have already committed to increasing employee pay, including Boeing ( BA), Home Depot ( HD), AT&T ( T) and JPMorgan ( JPM), among others.

A principal, Sonhando Estick, of East Village school  has been slammed by media after ostracizing another staff member for asking about recognizing Black History Month, but looked other what when a different teacher made a joke to the classroom about the ¨Muslim ban¨. The 34 year old teacher is seeking $5M from the city .

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The principal of an East Village school slammed a staffer for asking about recognition of Black History Month - but looked the other way when a teacher cracked a joke about a classroom "Muslim ban," a lawsuit charges.

A Tompkins Square Middle School teacher, filing anonymously as John Doe, says in his Manhattan Federal Court discrimination suit that Principal Sonhando Estwick put his career at risk by failing to address racial issues at his school.

The 34-year-old teacher, who is black and has 10 years of experience, seeks $5 million from the city.

Doe says his relationship with Estwick soured in 2012 when he asked during a meeting whether the school would be celebrating Black History Month.

Estwick, who is also black, replied the school doesn't celebrate the month because it celebrates diversity year-round, according to court papers.

Later that day, Estwick allegedly pulled Doe aside and said "Way to call out the entire school!" He told Doe "his radical views are not welcome at the school" and that he was "an affirmative action hire," papers say.

Doe - whose salary is $82,995 - was formally reprimanded in 2015 for unprofessional conduct and in 2017 for failure to follow a directive.

Estwick has a clean disciplinary record and is paid $152,359.

The teacher charges that Estwick began retaliating against him after he won an arbitration proceeding against the principal.

In October 2016, a parent complained to Estwick that a teacher cracked a joke about a Muslim student who dresses conservatively, the suit says.

The teacher, who is white, joked about the classroom needing a Muslim ban - but replaced the word "Muslim" with the student's name, the suit says.

(Google)

Complaints were filed with the Department of Education's investigative arm - but the teacher remained in the classroom, the suit says.

Doe cites the episode as evidence he wasn't afforded the same leniency. Estwick unfairly ordered Doe to spend five months out of the classroom performing administrative tasks last year, the teacher charges.

Doe's "reputation has been tarnished beyond repair and his future as a teaching professional irreparably compromised," the suit says.

Doe and Estwick didn't respond to requests for comment. Both men remain employed at their school.

City Education Department spokesman Doug Cohen said the city is investigating some of the claims in the suit.

"There is no place for discrimination of any kind in our schools and we are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming learning environment for all students and staff," Cohen said. "We are treating this with the utmost seriousness and are reviewing the lawsuit."

The city has no formal policy requiring schools to celebrate Black History Month, which occurs in February.

But African-American history is included in social studies teaching material that guides instruction at all district run schools.

The suit was filed as a John Doe case to protect a vulnerable student.

The Olympic Committee CEO has asked that all the members of the USAG board to resign in 6 days.  USA Gymnastics will lose its status as a sports governing body unless the board resigns by Wednesday and an interim board is in place by February 28.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Scott Blackmun said USAG will lose its status as a sports governing body unless the board resigns by Wednesday and an interim board is in place by February 28.

Three top USA Gymnastics board members resigned earlier this week, but the Indianapolis-based governing body has 18 other board positions.

Blackmun's request comes in the wake of a scandal over sexual abuse by former national team doctor Larry Nassar, who was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison on Wednesday.

"We do not base these requirements on any knowledge that any individual USAG staff or board members had a role in fostering or obscuring Nassar's actions," Blackmun wrote. "Our position comes from a clear sense that USAG culture needs fundamental rebuilding."

Blackmun acknowledged the series of resignations and policy changes that USAG has experienced in recent months but he said it was not enough.

"USAG must build on them with a categorically fresh start at the board level," he wrote.

Along with the resignations, Blackmun outlined a series of additional steps required by the Olympic Committee, including:

*USAG has 12 months to replace the interim directors.

*USAG "must cooperate with an independent investigation" looking into whether anyone knew or should have known of abuse allegations against Nassar and did not report them.

*The board "must substantively discuss" progress and plans for continued implementation of the findings from a former prosecutor's lengthy report that highlighted an array of shortcomings by USA Gymnastics in combating abuse.

"Please understand that the circumstances that led to this crisis demand our attention and intervention," he wrote. "These steps are intended to help USAG create a culture that protects and supports its athletes in the way I know we all want to do."

In a statement Thursday night, USAG said it "completely embraces the requirements outlined" in Blackmun's letter and "appreciates the opportunity to work with the USOC to accomplish change for the betterment of our organization, our athletes and our clubs."

USA Gymnastics also said it understands "that the requirements imposed by the letter will help us enhance our ability to build a culture of empowerment throughout the organization, with an increased focus on athlete safety and well-being. Our commitment is uncompromising, and we hope everything we do makes this very clear."

A a fire that took place in a hospital in South Korea kills 37 and injures more than 140. Many of the people killed were elderly. The hospital did not have sprinklers. It was the country's deadliest fire in about a decade. The cause of the firs has not been announced.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A fire raced through a small South Korean hospital with no sprinkler system on Friday, killing 37 people, many of them elderly, and injuring more than 140 others in the country's deadliest blaze in about a decade.

Sejong Hospital in the southeastern city of Miryang has a separate nursing ward where 94 elderly patients were being treated, but all of them were safely evacuated, fire officials said.

Most of the victims were on the first and second floors of the hospital's six-story general ward, where its emergency room and intensive-care unit were located. Officials believe the fire started in the emergency room.

Mirayng police official Kim Han-su said 34 of the dead were women and 26 were in their 80s or older. He said police may be able to announce the cause of the fire on Saturday.

Police and forensic investigators dressed in white clothes, masks and helmets examined burned equipment in the blackened emergency room.

Dark smoke and flames were pouring from the emergency room when firefighters arrived, so they used ladders to enter second-floor windows. Some carried patients on their backs to other rescuers below, who moved them on stretchers to ambulances.

Several fabric escape chutes were hanging from the building's sixth floor windows after being used to evacuate patients and hospital staff.

Dozens of fire trucks and two helicopters were sent to the hospital as thick smoke blanketed nearby streets. The blaze was extinguished in about three hours.

Three of the dead worked at the hospital - an emergency room doctor and a nurse and nurse assistant on the second floor - said Son Kyung-cheol, head of the foundation that operates the facility. The National Fire Agency said officials were trying to identify other victims.

Most of the deaths appeared to be due to suffocation, with only one victim suffering burns, a National Fire Agency official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to the media.

Authorities said 143 people were injured, including seven who were in serious condition.

Son said the hospital did not have sprinklers because they were not required by law. Fire officials said the hospital wasn't big enough to require them.

Fire official Choi Man-wu said authorities were investigating whether the hospital had missed any mandatory safety inspections, although Son said it had not.

If safety issues were involved in the fire, hospital and local authorities are likely to receive harsh public criticism. In 2014, South Korea grappled with the aftermath of a ferry sinking that killed more than 300 people and exposed serious shortcomings in public safety. Officials blamed crew members' negligence, overloaded cargo, improper storage, unprofessional rescue work and corruption by the ship's owners.

President Moon Jae-in held an emergency meeting with senior advisers and ordered officials to provide necessary medical treatment to those rescued, find the exact cause of the fire and work out measures to prevent future fires, spokesman Park Su-hyun said.

South Korea is one of the fastest-aging countries in the world and has many nursing hospitals, which are preferred for elderly people who need long-term doctors' care.

In 2014, a fire set by an 81-year-old dementia patient killed 21 people at a hospital for the elderly.

In other recent fires, 29 people were killed in late December in a building in central Seoul, which was the country's deadliest blaze in the past decade before the hospital fire. Last weekend, a fire at a Seoul motel killed six people. Police arrested a man suspected of setting it in anger because he had been denied a room for being heavily drunk.

The complete rosters for the 2018 NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles were revealed Thursday after team captains LeBron James (Eastern Conference) and Stephen Curry (Western Conference) picked their squads during a conference call with league officials.

The lineups and this year's new Jordan Brand jerseys can be viewed below:

Starter: James Harden, G, Houston Rockets

Starter: DeMar DeRozan, G, Toronto Raptors

Starter: Giannis Antetokounmpo, F, Milwaukee Bucks

Starter: Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

Reserve: Draymond Green, F, Golden State Warriors

Reserve: Kyle Lowry, G, Toronto Raptors

Reserve: Klay Thompson, G, Golden State Warriors

Reserve: Karl-Anthony Towns, C, Minnesota Timberwolves

Reserve: Al Horford, C, Boston Celtics

James kicked things off by making the No. 1 overall pick after he was named the All-Star Game's leading vote-getter. Picks subsequently alternated between the two captains for the rest of the first round until the eight remaining starters were selected.

Curry's team then made the first pick of the second round, when all 14 reserves were eligible to come off the board.

Once the draft was over, James and Curry reflected on the process and said they hope to see it televised in 2019:

LeBron refused to disclose who he picked first, but conventional wisdom suggests he went with Kevin Durant after Steph told reporters Jan. 18 that he would take his teammate if he wasn't selected first.

Perhaps more noteworthy, though, was that James added Kyrie Irving to his roster after the Boston Celtics floor general had an acrimonious split from the Cleveland Cavaliers that was reportedly facilitated by his desire to no longer play alongside LeBron.

Above all else, both captains appeared to prize chemistry.

LeBron has extensive experience playing with both Irving and Kevin Love, and he made a concerted effort to add a pair of teammates in New Orleans Pelicans bigs Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins as well as Washington Wizards backcourt mates John Wall and Bradley Beal.

Plus, he reunited Durant, Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo following their time together with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Curry had a similar strategy, nabbing Warriors teammates Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, Minnesota Timberwolves studs Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns and Toronto Raptors guards Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan.

The two-time MVP also had the luxury of picking Milwaukee Bucks point-forward Giannis Antetokounmpo a year after he was posterized by the Greek Freak on the exhibition stage in New Orleans.

The 2018 NBA All-Star Game will tip off Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. ET from Staples Center.

A little girl from India swallowed a tiny light bulb and survived. Her father, Naushad Khan, took his daughter Ariba to the hospital because she had a fever and couldn't stop coughing.

According to a report from news service SWNS, the girl's father thought she might have swallowed a thread while playing with a toy mobile phone.

But X-rays revealed an LED bulb was stuck in her right bronchus - the tube going to the lung.

She was first given antibiotics and steroids to clear an infection caused by the bulb before it was removed.

Divya Prabhat, head of the ENT department at Wadia Children's Hospital and the doctor who performed the procedure, said "Within two minutes this foreign body was removed using forceps."

"To our surprise this happened to be a 2-centimeter LED bulb, which I have not seen before, despite performing thousands of bronchoscopies."
