U.S. employers added 155,000 jobs in November, a slowdown from recent months but enough to suggest that the economy is expanding at a solid pace despite sharp gyrations in the stock market.

The Labor Department said Friday that the unemployment rate remained 3.7%, nearly a five-decade low, for the third straight month. Average hourly pay rose 3.1% from a year ago, matching the previous month's figure, which was the best since 2009.

The economy is expanding at a healthy pace, but rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, ongoing interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve and weakening global growth have roiled financial markets. Analysts expect growth to slow but remain solid in 2019 as the impact of last year's tax cuts fade.

The jobs figure was less than many economists forecast, but few saw the report as a sign of a broader slowdown.

"The economy continues to churn out new jobs and reflects the strong underlying business conditions that point to steady, albeit slower job growth and economic activity in 2019," said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at consulting firm RSM. "This report strongly implies that a recession is not looming just over the horizon."

The report is unlikely to dissuade the Federal Reserve from raising short-term interest rates at its meeting later this month, as expected, Brusuelas said. But it suggests the Fed may not hike rates next year as rapidly as many investors have feared.

Stock prices rose in the immediate aftermath of the report but fell in late morning trading. The Dow Jones dropped 225 points or 0.9 percent.

The ongoing job gains are pushing down unemployment rates to historically low levels for a variety of groups. The unemployment rate for men aged 20 and above fell last month to 3.3%, the lowest in 18 years. And the rate for Americans with just high school diplomas dropped to 3.5%, the lowest since December 2000. The African-American jobless rate declined to 5.9%, matching May's figure as the lowest on record.

November's job gains are down from October's robust 237,000, which was revised lower from last month's estimate. Hiring has averaged 195,000 a month for the past six months, modestly below an average of 212,000 in the previous six.

Hiring in November was led by health care firms, which added 40,100 jobs, and professional services such as accounting and engineering, which gained 32,000. Manufacturing companies hired 27,000 new workers, the most in seven months and a sign that trade tensions have yet to weaken factory hiring.

Construction firms cut back, however, adding just 5,000 jobs, the fewest in five months. Hiring also slowed in restaurants, bars and hotels.

Most recent data have pointed to solid economic growth. Americans increased their spending in October by the most in seven months, and their incomes grew by the most in nine months, according to a government report last week. Consumer confidence remains near 18-year highs, surveys show. And both manufacturing and services companies expanded at a healthy pace in November, according to a pair of business surveys.

The housing market, though, has stumbled this year as the Fed's rate hikes have contributed to sharply higher mortgage rates. Sales of existing homes have fallen 5.4% from a year earlier, the biggest annual decline in more than four years.

Investors, however, are mostly focused on where the economy is headed. They are worried that the U.S.-China trade war could still intensify, despite an agreement over the weekend between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping that included postponing a planned U.S. tariff hike for 90 days. Higher tariffs would compound the risks for a global economy that is already grappling with dismal growth figures from Europe and Japan.

The interest rate paid by longer-term bonds has also fallen sharply in the past month, panicking investors, while short-term rates have declined by much less. That typically signals a weaker economy ahead.

And the Federal Reserve has raised short-term interest rates three times this year and is likely to do so a fourth time later this month, thereby raising borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. The Fed has signaled that it could increase rates again next year.

Derrick Henry had 4 touchdowns and 250 yards.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Thursday in Nashville, a Tennessee Titans team that has pitched and lurched its way through a wildly uneven season faced a must-win game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Titans got that win-in emphatic fashion, no less-complements of a record-setting performance from tailback Derrick Henry. The win kept the Titans in the Wild Card hunt in the AFC at 7-6, as well as providing Tennessee's bottom-five offense with a desperately-needed shot of adrenaline.

The question now is whether the Titans happened upon something in Week 14-came upon a new offensive fulcrum that will lead to a late surge that gets the Titans into the playoffs for a second straight season.

Can Henry bulldoze his way through Tennessee's offensive limitations and into the postseason tournament?

It didn't take Henry long to get going against a supposedly stout Jaguars defense. Henry's first carry of the game was a 14-yard surge that got the Titans close to the goal line. Two totes later he scored.

He was only getting started.

Later in the first quarter, after a poor special teams decision led to a safety, the Jaguars drove the length of the field, only to be turned away by the Titans on fourth down at the one-yard line. Tennessee was backed up on first down and handed off to Henry, hopeful that he could buy the team a little breathing room.

Um, he did that.

DERRICK HENRY 😤 99-YD HOUSE CALL 📺: NFL Network #JAXvsTEN https://t.co/glXJZ8c7DR

Henry took the ball through the middle, raced to the left sideline and was gone, showing approximately the same level of interest in being tackled that Godzilla shows when the military shows up. Ninety-nine yards-tied for the longest run in NFL history.

While speaking with Fox's Erin Andrews after the game, Henry was quick to credit everyone from his teammates to the only other tailback who has ever accomplished that feat.

"Man, I'm with Tony Dorsett," Henry said. "That's a legend. That's somebody I looked up to, and I actually spent some time with him when I won the Heisman. But I'm just so blessed. Credit to all my teammates-O-line, blocking, tight ends, receivers...it's a whole group. Not just me. I just gotta go out there and do what I do and make a play."

Had that been all Henry did Thursday, it would have been a great game. He had more yards rushing by himself in the first quarter than the Jaguars usually allow in a game.

That was not all he did.

What Henry did was set a Titans single-game franchise record with 238 yards on just 17 carries. He tied a franchise record with four rushing touchdowns, adding a 16-yarder and 54-yarder in the second half.

Derrick Henry came in tonight with 5 TDs His FOURTH of the night: (via @Titans) https://t.co/z1y3TcfAgl

Yes, Henry also had a 54-yard score. He averaged 14 yards a carry and hit both 200 rushing yards and four scores (per the Fox post-game show) in the fewest carries of the Super Bowl era.

Henry might have had five scores, but he insisted to head coach Mike Vrabel in the fourth quarter that fellow tailback Dion Lewis get a goal-line shot late.

"We both gotta eat," Henry told Andrews after the game. "I wanted to see him get a touchdown. I got four."

He also broke approximately all the tackles ever and gave 117,000 fantasy owners (give-or-take) either a joy or anguish-induced cardiac arrhythmia.

Other than that, he was just OK.

If you're a glass half-empty type of person, you might add the caveat that Jacksonville's tackling in this game would have needed to improve five-fold to be pathetic. But even if you add the asterisk of 11 defensive matadors in black helmets, it was still a performance that will be talked about for years.

Now that the dust has settled on Henry's rampage and he's walked back into the ocean (that's another Godzilla reference-I know Tennessee is landlocked), the larger matter is what it means for these Titans moving forward.

Obviously, Henry isn't going to average 14 yards a pop every game. Or ever again. In fact, entering Week 14 Henry wasn't even averaging four yards a carry. The third-year pro had gained 474 yards on 128 carries with five scores in 12 games. Henry had a better per-carry average and more touchdowns than Lewis, but the two had formed a rather uninspiring timeshare. In terms of total touches, it's Lewis who has been the lead dog in that committee.

All told, the Titans were 17th in rushing yards entering Week 14 and 29th in yards per carry.

Maybe this explosion will jump-start both Henry's season and Tennessee's ground game. But the cold, hard truth is he's shown little to date to indicate that would be the case. As Henry's carries have gone up as his career has progressed, his yards per carry has gone down. Whether due to that reason or Henry's lack of passing-game chops, he's never been trusted as "the guy" in the backfield.

This stretch run might be the perfect time for an audition. The Titans have not been a good offensive football team this year, ranking 28th in total offense (310.2 yards per game) and 28th in scoring (18.4 points per game) entering Week 14.

That a team with an offense that anemic was even at .500 is a testament to a Tennessee defense that has carried the team most of the year.

It's becoming more and more evident by the week that quarterback Marcus Mariota can't. The Titans came into this must-win affair 29th in the league in passing. Mariota hasn't been awful-his 68.6 percent completion rate this year is a career high and his passer rating is 95, but he's nowhere near elite, either. On Thursday night Mariota missed an open receiver on a fourth-down throw by the goal line and tossed an awful first-quarter interception.

The Titans can hope until the cows come home, but there's ample enough sample to know that good is Mariota's ceiling. He's not going to be great. He's not carrying a team into the playoffs on his back.

So, let Henry try. Give him the keys.

Tennessee's final three games (at the Giants followed by Washington and Indianapolis at home) are not exactly Murderer's Row. The Titans will be favored in at least two of those games and possibly all of them.

Establish the run early with Henry. No more Lewis out of the gate. That isn't to say he shouldn't still have a role on passing downs. But go right at people. Let Henry wear defenses down with that 250-pound frame. Let him top 200 carries in a season for the first time in his career. Use the run to set up play-action, turn that stout defense loose and just beat opponents up.

It would seem a plan that would appeal to an "old-school" coach like Mike Vrabel. Heck, ditch the zone-read and you might even be able to keep Mariota on the field.

Go figure.

The Tennessee Titans have had their moments in 2018. This is a team that beat both of last year's Super Bowl participants, including blasting the Patriots 34-10 in Week 10. The problem is that they followed those wins by losing to Buffalo and getting trashed by the Colts.

A larger role for Henry might not be the magic solution to that inconsistency. But after what he did against the Jaguars, it's absolutely worth giving it a shot.

Keep it simple. Pound the rock. Play defense. Be the team we thought the Jaguars would be in 2018.

Those Jags may have just shown them the way.

Former MLB infielders Luis Valbuena and Jose Castillo died in a car accident Thursday, the Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher reported.

A spokesperson for the Cardenales de Lara, Valbuena and Castillo's team in Venezuela, confirmed to Fletcher the two had died, and the team's official Twitter account announced the news early Friday morning.

According to Fletcher, Valbuena and Castillo played in a Venezuelan league game Thursday night. At some point after the game, they were both passengers in a car driven by teammate Carlos Rivero when the car hit a rock and veered off the road.

Valbuena played in the majors from 2008 to 2018, most recently appearing in 96 games for the Los Angeles Angels last season before the team released him in August. His best year came in 2016 when he batted .260 and slugged .459 while hitting 13 home runs and collecting 40 RBI for the Houston Astros.

Castillo debuted in MLB in 2004 and played four seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He then split the 2008 campaign with the San Francisco Giants and Astros.

Teacher cut students hair when sing the national anthem

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Land of the free and home of the shaved?

A California teacher was arrested on child endangerment charges after she was seemingly caught on video cutting hair off a student's head while shouting incorrect lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Margaret Gieszinger, 52, was taken into custody after police responded to reports of a teacher endangering students with a "pair of scissors" at University Preparatory High School in Visalia, the Visalia Times-Delta reported Wednesday.

Video posted online showed the woman telling a student to "take a seat" in a chair placed in front of the classroom.

Gieszinger loudly shouted wrong lyrics of the national anthem while allegedly chopping off a couple chunks of the student's hair and tossing it behind her.

After the student got up from the seat, Gieszinger could be heard shouting, "Next! I'm not done. Next! Next!" She then appeared to select students from the classroom to come up.

One student is heard on video shouting, "Don't you touch me!" as Gieszinger appeared to walk throughout the classroom with the scissors.

Gieszinger seemingly then grabbed a female student's hair and pulled it up while wielding the scissors in the air. The student got away, while the teacher continued to walk about while angrily singing the national anthem.

Students appeared to yelp and frantically leave the classroom. The student filming the video ran from the room, as classmates asked if they caught the incident on video.

According to the high school's website, Gieszinger teaches science at University Preparatory. Principal Eric Thiessen reportedly told students Wednesday afternoon that "all students are safe" following what unfolded in the classroom.

One of Gieszinger's students told the Visalia Times-Delta that what the teacher did "is inexcusable," and called her actions out of character.

"She is a loving and kind lady. She is usually all smiles and laughs," the student said. "This is not the Miss G. we know and love."

Gieszinger's teaching credentials were suspended for 14 days in both 2007 and 2016, the news outlet noted, citing the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The reason for the suspension was not clear.

Online records from the Tulare County Sheriff's Office show that Gueszinger was booked Wednesday on suspicion of felony child endangerment. Her bond was set at $100,000.

Valentina Shevchenko is a patient woman.

If nothing else, she spent nearly all of 2018 proving that point.

By all rights, this should have been a breakout year for Shevchenko. The introduction of the UFC's women's flyweight division-an ideal forum for her innate physicality and pinpoint-accurate, technical striking-should have finally allowed Shevchenko to take her rightful place, become widely known as one of the fight company's biggest badasses and prove the hype she's been getting since age 12 was justified.

Instead, she sat idle much of this year, waiting for the UFC to untangle the mess that almost immediately enveloped the 125-pound class. Shevchenko fought just once during the last 15 months-a layup over the outmatched Priscila Cachoeira in February-but has been cooling her heels on the organization's ridiculously deep bench since.

Not for lack of trying, mind you.

After Shevchenko waited for flyweight champ Nicco Montano to return from a protracted injury delay, the pair was booked for September's UFC 228. The day before that event, their fight was scratched after Montano had to be hospitalized during her weight cut.

The silver lining for Shevchenko was that the UFC stripped Montano of the title and pre-emptively announced that the 5'4", 30-year-old kickboxer from Kyrgyzstan would get the next available championship opportunity.

But then even that turned into pain in the neck.

Shevchenko shuffled through a handful of potential dates and at least two opponents before settling on Saturday's UFC 231 bout against Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the vacant flyweight crown.

Knock on wood.

A more temperamental fighter might cop to being frustrated-or even a bit ruffled-by the many false starts and dead ends of this year.

"I would be frustrated. I would be very frustrated," says former lightweight contender Kenny Florian, now a Fox UFC analyst. "I think it can be very disheartening when you put in a ton of work, you put in camp after camp and you don't even get a chance to compete. That can really take the wind out of your sails as a fighter. I don't imagine that happening to someone like Valentina Shevchenko, who I think is very mentally tough. You have to be, if you're going to deal with [a year] like that."

Florian seems right about Shevchenko, who shrugs off any notion she's had a disappointing 2018 in the most stoic way.

Fighting is all she knows, she tells Bleacher Report, so if she has to wait a few extra months to get her second shot at UFC gold, so be it.

"Martial arts for me is not just some kind of job to gain some money or whatever," Shevchenko says. "No, martial arts for me is my lifestyle, my religion, my philosophy. ... Martial arts are everything for me."

Championship fight or no championship fight, Shevchenko will spend her days training with her older sister, Antonina, longtime coach Pavel Fedotov and a grab bag of her normal sparring partners from all over the world. It's all she's really ever done since she was five years old.

Shevchenko's mother, Elena, is a black belt in taekwondo and the president of Kyrgyzstan's national muay thai association. She started taking her two daughters to Fedotov's gym when they were barely elementary school-aged.

The sisters disagree about who showed the most early promise. They each insist the other was best. However, their coach says one thing was clear about Valentina almost right away: She had heart.

Shevchenko put that quality-along with her natural speed-on display in one of her early muay thai fights, famously knocking out a 22-year-old opponent when she was just 12.

"Valentina was a brave little girl," Fedotov told UFC.com's Thomas Gerbasi in 2017. "She could fight without fear with girls and boys who were heavier and more experienced. Sometimes, a strong punch could stop her, but she would stand up and start to fight again. Sometimes, she was crying but still fighting again and again with the same intensity."

Fast-forward more than two decades, and Fedotov and the Shevchenkos have become borderline inseparable. He remained a constant presence in their lives as both sisters developed into globe-trotting martial arts stars.

Antonina and Valentina have each won titles in muay thai. Starting in 2003, Valentina used that success to springboard into a professional MMA career. During the last three years, she's gone 4-2 in the UFC's bantamweight division. Both of her losses came to current 135-pound queen Amanda Nunes, most recently via split decision in a five-round championship fight at UFC 215.

With the flyweight class a reality and the skies clearing for her 125-pound title shot, Shevchenko might finally get the chance to show she's a force to be reckoned with, both in and out of the cage.

"I think [flyweight] is a huge help to Valentina Shevchenko, who really was in between weight classes at 115 or 135 pounds," Florian says. "I think for her it's the absolute perfect weight class."

Since Ronda Rousey's departure from women's MMA in 2016, the UFC has floundered at finding a replacement. Fighters such as Holly Holm, Cris "Cyborg" Justino, Rose Namajunas, Nunes and Jedrzejczyk have become champions and found niche success, but not one has proved worthy of mimicking Rousey's crossover appeal.

Completely filling that void might be impossible, but the fight company appears to have taken a promotional shine to Shevchenko in Rousey's absence. It has bent over backward to get her into this title opportunity, after all, seemingly eager to cash in on the burgeoning personal brand she's building.

"I think her look is a big part of [the UFC's interest in her]," says MMA analyst Patrick Wyman. "She's also good for the occasional sound bite, which doesn't hurt. She's also really into guns, which is another thing that allows her to connect with a large segment of the UFC's audience."

Shevchenko's love of shooting sports is perhaps the most surprising aspect of her salability. She and Antonina have both won titles in defensive shooting competitions in Peru, their home since relocating there from Kyrgyzstan in 2008. Firearms are a near constant feature of Shevchenko's robust social media presence. She has done interviews about her passion for shooting and has appeared on the cover of magazine.

The best feeling, when you come back home, and there is a boxes of ammo waiting for you ! Thank you @BrownellsInc for the support! ________________________ https://t.co/FKF2TbPD7O

Whenever she gets time away from training, Shevchenko likes to get in some target practice with her team. What likely started as a way to blow off steam has grown into a full-fledged love affair with firearms and tactical culture. Shevchenko says even her nickname is a nod to her status as a crack shot.

"My ring name is 'Bullet,' which was given to me by Pavel," she says. "It's like tradition for your coach to give you your fight name. There's a superstition that says if your fight name matches who you are as a person, it will give you a lot of success in your fighting career."

Shevchenko's hobbies also include collecting historical firearms. She owns several guns that date to World War II, including a Russian Mosin rifle she recently purchased. For Shevchenko, the connection to these weapons is more than just recreation. She says they help her relate to the past.

"When you touch it, it's like you are touching history," she says of the Mosin. "It's like a monument. You just can't explain it. I have different guns all from the old times, and for me it means a lot."

This affinity for weaponry has also proved useful in the real world for Shevchenko and her team, albeit in ways they never anticipated and would likely just as soon forget.

In 2016, while living in Lima, Peru, Shevchenko was out at dinner with her team when armed gunmen stormed in and tried to rob the restaurant where they were eating. The gunmen took money from the restaurant's owner and then started going from table to table, shaking down diners for their valuables.

Fedotov, who was with Shevchenko, drew a pistol, and a shootout ensued. While it is unclear who fired the first shot, Shevchenko credits Fedotov with protecting the other patrons in the restaurant.

"Pavel's reaction was very fast," Shevchenko says. "He knew he had to protect everyone because he was armed. It was like bullets everywhere, [flying] around."

Fedotov succeeded in getting the robbers to flee the restaurant but was shot in the stomach during the exchange. Once the firefight was over, Shevchenko helped him outside and into a taxi, which took them to a local hospital.

The harrowing robbery occurred just a month before Shevchenko was set to fight Holly Holm at UFC on Fox 20. Fedotov made a full recovery but couldn't be present during some of the final preparations for that fight. Still, Shevchenko says he stayed involved during his rehab, and she ended up defeating Holm via unanimous decision.

It stands as her biggest UFC win.

Comparatively speaking, the team's prep for Jedrzejczyk has been far less eventful, though this will likely go down as the longest fight camp of Shevchenko's career.

Immediately after her bout with Montano fell apart, it was announced Shevchenko would face Jedrzejczyk for the vacant title at UFC 231. In October, however, reports surfaced that she would actually take on Sijara Eubanks at UFC 230.

After the UFC settled on a short-notice main event between Daniel Cormier and Derrick Lewis for UFC 230, that plan was scrapped and the fight company reverted to its original blueprint: Shevchenko vs. Jedrzejczyk on Dec. 8.

Shevchenko's training camps were already transient affairs, as she routinely split time between Peru and Thailand while also occasionally making pit stops at the camps of UFC champions such as Namajunas and Justino.

Her UFC 230/231 camp was no exception. Shevchenko started her preparations in Texas, made two junkets to the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas and even touched down in Maine. Matters were complicated-in the best possible way-because Antonina finally got her shot at a spot in the UFC when she beat Ji Yeon Kim at The Ultimate Fighter Season 28 live finale in Las Vegas last Friday.

Immediately after that bout, Shevchenko flew to Toronto to begin UFC 231 fight-week festivities. It sounds hectic, but Shevchenko seemed to take it all in characteristic stride.

"For me, it's the same camp, just in different locations," she says. "This kind of experience, where you have the option to train with different types of opponents and different sparring partners who every time use different techniques, I think it's very helpful. You know what to expect and how to react to different situations."

Now she turns her attention squarely to Jedrzejczyk and the flyweight title. The pair fought three times previously in muay thai, and Shevchenko won all three bouts. In MMA, Shevchenko vs. Jedrzejczyk shapes up as a hyper-competitive matchup that will pit Jedrzejczyk's volume attack against Shevchenko's more deliberate approach.

To win the fight, Shevchenko, who is roughly a 3-1 favorite, according to OddsShark, will likely have to control the distance and pace, relying on her counterpunches and assumed power advantage to win the day. It's something she appears more than capable of doing.

"I think she's exceptionally skilled at what she does," Wyman says. "She's maybe the most skilled counterpuncher in MMA. She's one of the most skilled kickboxers in general. Her technique and her fundamentals are just rock-solid. Everything she does is just exactly the way you draw it up in a textbook."

A victory would make Shevchenko the UFC women's flyweight champion, but it could also establish her as a company favorite and perhaps the female fighter most likely to score crossover success.

Viewed that way, you might be tempted to say a lot is on the line for Shevchenko. But chances are she merely views this as another night at the office in the family business she loves.

The business that she says defines her as a human being.

"[Martial arts] made me the person I am. It formed me into a good person," Shevchenko says. "My understanding of the world is all through the prism of martial arts. It's affected every aspect of my life. I can't imagine my life without martial arts. I would be a different person."

A South Carolina woman who made headlines earlier this year when she gouged out her eyes while high on "a concoction of tainted methamphetamine" spoke out this week about the incident that left her blind and changed her life forever

A South Carolina woman who made headlines earlier this year when she gouged out her eyes while high on "a concoction of tainted methamphetamine" spoke out this week about the incident that left her blind and changed her life forever.

Kaylee Muthart, 21, of Anderson, told People she had been "snorting and injecting" the tainted drugs for about 48 hours before her shocking act of self-mutilation on Feb. 6.

"The drugs take your fears and beliefs and amplify them," Muthart told the magazine. "I thought I had to take my eyes out to survive and save the world."

On the day of the incident, churchgoers in Anderson County watched in horror as Muthart removing her eyeballs. Earlier, in an interview with Cosmopolitan, Muthart described removing her eyeballs before she "squished them."
SOUTH CAROLINA WOMAN WHO GOUGED HER EYES OUT THOUGHT IT WAS A SACRIFICE TO GOD
After the incident, Muthart said she went to a psychiatric facility before completing a drug-treatment program. She also had surgery to save her optic nerves. She told People she considered herself a "recovering addict" but said it was not hard to get sober.

"The drugs took something from me and when you get burned by the fire you learn not to go back," she said.

The woman said she was relearning to do just about everything now that she's blind -- including previously simple acts such as making coffee and cooking eggs. She said she has ridden a bike with the help of a friend and has even played a little basketball. She said she planned to attend a school for the blind next year where she will learn how "to do anything blind." She told People she has accepted losing her vision.

"If you don't, you can never be happy," she said. "Accept it, analyze it and let yourself feel what you feel. I cry. Not a lot, but I bottle it up and then let it out."

Muthart's mother, Katy Tompkins, said her daughter "has been given a second chance." But Tompkins said she still struggles with the incident.

"For a mother, it's like, 'Why? Why her?'" Tompkins told People. "So much potential, so beautiful. And her eyes - they were like the ocean - you could see her emotions in them."

Although Muthart has embraced her blindness, she said she has given up her dream of being a marine biologist.

"The part I would've enjoyed most about that" - watching orcas and dolphins slice through the water - "is gone now," she said.

The Washington state teen who garnered national headlines after being turned in by his own grandmother over plans to commit a mass school shooting pleaded guilty to the charges on Thursday.

The Washington state teen who garnered national headlines after being turned in by his own grandmother over plans to commit a mass school shooting pleaded guilty to the charges on Thursday.

Joshua O'Connor pleaded not guilty to the charges when he was arrested in February, but submitted a new plea Thursday after coming to an agreement over the charges, according to Seattle ABC affiliate KOMO.

He has been in custody since his arrest on Feb. 14, the same day as the Parkland school massacre, held on $5 million bond.

KOMO

O'Connor pleaded guilty to three charges on Thursday: first-degree attempted murder, first-degree robbery with a firearm and possession of explosive device. As part of the plea agreement, the prosecutor agreed to drop a weapons allegation on the attempted murder charge, according to KOMO.

"We do believe that it was important for Mr. O'Connor to take responsibility for what he did and be held legally accountable for the steps that he took," said Andrew Alsdorf, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor.

The 18-year-old could face up to 28 years in prison when he faces sentencing in February 2019.

O'Connor's grandmother, Catherine O'Connor, called police in February after discovering her grandson's journal, which outlined a plot to carry out a shooting at Aces Alternative High School in Everett, Washington.

ABC News obtained a 911 call from Catherine O'Connor alerting police to the shooting plot.

"What I'm reporting is I'm finding journal entries from my grandson," Catherine O'Connor told the operator. "And he's planning on having a mass shooting at one of the high schools."

At the time, KOMO obtained court documents detailing his violent journal entries.

"I need to make this shooting/bombing ... infamous," the student wrote, according to the court documents. "I need to get the biggest fatality number I possibly can. I need to make this count. ... I'm learning from past shooters/bombers mistakes, so I don't make the same ones."

When police responded to the house, they found an AK-47 and grenades, police said.

The armed robbery charge O'Connor pleaded guilty to stemmed from robbing a convenience store prior to the arrest for planning the school shooting.

O'Connor was arrested just hours after Nikolas Cruz allegedly opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 students and teachers.

The Marines have identified the F/A-18 fighter pilot killed in a mishap with a Marine Corps KC-30 refueling tanker off the coast of Japan, as the search continues for five Marines still missing.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Marines have identified the F/A-18 fighter pilot killed in a mishap with a Marine Corps KC-30 refueling tanker off the coast of Japan, as the search continues for five Marines still missing.

Captain Jahmar F. Resilard, 28, of Miramar, Florida, was pronounced deceased after being found off the coast of Kochi, Japan, on Dec. 6. He served as an F/A-18 pilot with Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242, stationed on Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in Yamaguchi, Japan.

"The Bats are deeply saddened by the loss of Captain Jahmar Resilard," said Lt. Col. James Compton, commanding officer of the Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242. "He was an effective and dedicated leader who cared for his Marines and fellow fighter pilots with passion. His warm and charismatic nature bound us together and we will miss him terribly. We honor his service and his contribution to the Marine Corps and our great nation. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends."

Resilard was one of two crew members found by Japanese Maritime Self Defense Forces, which are leading search and rescue efforts with both surface ships and aircraft, said a spokesperson for III Marine Expeditionary Force in Japan. The first individual is described as in fair condition.

Almost 48 hours after the incident, search teams are still looking for the five personnel on board the KC-130.

Gunnery Sgt. Christopher Giannetti/U.S. Marine Corps

"The aircraft involved in the mishap had launched from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and were conducting regularly scheduled training when the mishap occurred," according to a Marine Corps Base Camp Butler statement on Wednesday.

The incident occurred about 200 miles off the coast of Iwakuni at 2 a.m. on Thursday, or about noon Wednesday, Eastern Standard Time.

The circumstances of the mishap were under investigation and no other information was available, according to the statement.

The two Marines who were found in the water were both aboard the F/A-18. The fighter aircraft is equipped with ejection seats equipped with a locator beacon and with a raft that can help with survival at sea.

A defense official said neither of the Marines recovered at sea were found inside rafts. The first Marine recovered by the Japanese military had been in the ocean for about four hours, the second Marine had been in the ocean for about 10 hours.

The KC-130 tanker is not equipped with ejection seats for flight emergency, instead crew members would have to use parachutes to escape from the aircraft. For controlled landings at sea, KC-130's are equipped with rafts that would deploy and are equipped with a beacon.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump offered thoughts and prayers to the crew members and thanked Japan for their "immediate response and rescue efforts.

"Whatever you need, we are here for you," the tweet added.

My thoughts and prayers are with the @USMC crew members who were involved in a mid-air collision off the coast of Japan. Thank you to @USForcesJapan for their immediate response and rescue efforts. Whatever you need, we are here for you. @IIIMEF

The last major U.S. military aircraft incident occurred in May when an Air National Guard C-130 cargo plane crashed outside Savannah, killing all nine personnel on board. A recent investigation determined that crash was due in part to pilot error.

Late Wednesday, the Marines released the investigation into another deadly crash - a KC-130 that went down n Leflore County, Mississippi in August 2017, killing 15 Marines and 1 sailor on board.

It found that a propeller became dislodged and went into the aircraft's fuselage.

"The investigation determined that the aircraft's propeller did not receive proper depot-level maintenance during its last overhaul in September 2011, which missed corrosion that may have contributed to the propeller blade liberating in-flight," a press release from the Marines said.

Police say two elementary school students came to the rescue after their bus driver collapsed behind the wheel in New Hampshire.

Authorities say 8-year-old Nolan Barry and 9-year-old Thomas MacKeen were among the five students onboard when their bus driver collapsed while slowly approaching a stop in Atkinson on Tuesday.

Both boys ran to the front of the bus and tried to revive the driver. When she didn't respond, Nolan says he searched the bus controls and found the emergency brake.

The boys then banged on the windows of the bus and caught the attention of a parent, who called 911.

The bus driver was hospitalized in stable condition.

Facebook leaked 250 papers of confidential info, and people are now calling Facebook "the villain"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Facebook is the villain and finally people know it.

About 250 pages of highly confidential documents and company emails that shed light on Facebook's attitude towards its customers, were released by a British lawmaker this week. But before we dive into that, let's take a step back and remember Facebook's first big public scandal.

Last March, the New York Times, along with the Guardian and the Observer in London, uncovered documents proving that the political data firm Cambridge Analytica had improperly acquired data from Facebook. Aleksandr Kogan, a data scientist, had developed an app and given the user data information to Cambridge Analytica. Facebook allowed this app to not only collect data from the app users, but also their friends, resulting in Cambridge Analytica acquiring data from millions of different Facebook users.

The Trump campaign employed Cambridge Analytica in 2016 and it therefore has been painted as some dark ops firm that stole Americans' privacy for the benefit of the highest paying conservative candidate, who then used it to steal victory from Hillary Clinton through manipulation, fraud, hacking and mystery.

Please.

While the people running Cambridge Analytica did seem on the shady side, and I certainly wouldn't put my trust in them, they have been used as a scapegoat for Facebook's unethical, hostile and underhanded behavior.

Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of app developers were using the features that Facebook itself created, to do precisely the same thing that Cambridge Analytica was doing. To be clear, there was no "hack" of Facebook. This kind of work is not rocket science, and in my opinion, everyone gave Cambridge Analytica way too much credit. They weren't magicians. I promise.

If Cambridge Analytica had been a company that sold people refrigerators, or did anything unrelated to Donald Trump for that matter, no one would have cared about its data consumption. But Cambridge Analytica was hailed as the election usurper - Trump's secret weapon in his battle for the White House.

Again, please.

Yes, Trump won. But he won against the most unpopular Democratic candidate in modern history, who was vying for a third Democratic term - something which has not been achieved since the 1940s. Furthermore, he won by a very slim margin and actually lost the popular vote. If Cambridge Analytica was really a bunch of election-rigging wizards, practicing their dark art of black box data mining, wouldn't you have expected a more crushing defeat?

The government has had at least 10 years to get on top of big tech companies' exploding growth and power, but so far they've been allowed to act with free rein.

What we really should have taken away from the Cambridge Analytica scandal last spring is that Facebook is the villain and we need to know more. And this week we're learning yet again that we the public are in big trouble with not just Facebook, but all the other big companies that have troves of data on practically each and every one of us.

Despite repeatedly denying that Facebook sells its users' data, the company emails released this week show that in fact it effectively did - that it leveraged our data to reward developers who spent a lot of money on the platform, and ice out its competitors, all the while making sure we, the users, never found out.

And let's not kid ourselves that it's just Facebook doing this. Five of the most valuable companies in the world today - Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Google's parent company Alphabet - have all commodified our data and used it to take over their respective sectors.

What's equally unsettling is our government's response. The questions that senators asked Zuckerberg during his April hearing clearly showed how little they understand about the basic workings of his company. The government has had at least 10 years to get on top of big tech companies' exploding growth and power, but so far they've been allowed to act with free rein.

Sure, we the consumers bear some of the responsibility. I certainly have freely given up my data to various apps, companies and websites. And boy do I love Amazon's suggestions - it always seem to know just what I need! Advertising isn't coercive. I know what I'm choosing to buy, just like I know what candidate I'm choosing to vote for. I'm not being tricked in either case.

But at the same time, these companies have been allowed to run amuck, and the laws haven't been keeping up. For the entire Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook was fined a little over $600,000. Facebook makes that in less than 8 minutes.

I'm not so worried about Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg doesn't scare me. What terrifies me is the next villain, who has more nefarious end goals. If the government doesn't get its act together and start creating and enforcing laws to regulate these powerful companies, we are in real trouble.

The leaked documents this week shouldn't be a surprise, but they should be a wake-up call. We have become complacent with our personal privacy, myself included.

What's scary isn't the data violation, it's who's doing it. There will always be a Bond villain, but if James Bond doesn't have Q giving him the technology that keeps him a few steps ahead of the villain, he may not escape alive one day.

several people witnessed man get attacked by an alligator.A witness told 911 that the alligator bit the mans foot.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Several people witnessed an alligator attack an 85-year-old man in the pond behind his Florida home earlier this week, 911 calls reporting the encounter reveal.

The man, identified as Lakeland resident George Ihle Jr., was bitten in the foot at the Big Cypress Golf and Country Club on Monday, Ashley Tyler, public information officer for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, told ABC News.

In one call, Ihle's wife told emergency dispatchers that her husband was in trouble, telling them to "please hurry" to the scene.

"The alligator attacked my husband," the worried spouse said.

WFTV

Among a flurry of commotion, another witness told 911 dispatchers that the man was bitten in the foot and that he was bleeding, but not "profusely." The dispatcher then gave the witness instructions on how to stop the bleeding.

In another call, a witness told dispatchers that Ihle "was completely taken down by the gator."

"He was screaming for help," the woman said, adding that the gator had gone back into the pond and several people were watching to see if it would re-emerge.

Ihle was transported to the Lakeland Regional Medical Center in stable condiiton.

Aerial footage showed trappers wrangling the nearly 10-foot gator out of the pond. The gator still had Ihle's sneaker in its mouth when it was caught, making FWC officials "confident" that "they removed the animal responsible for the incident," a statement from the agency read.

Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office, who responded to the scene, visited Ihle in the hospital Wednesday, a photo posted to Twitter shows.

man held after "strange smell" leads to women's torso in basement , other parts found up stairs

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A foul stench led to the discovery of a woman's torso in the basement of a Grand Rapids, Mich., home last weekend, according to court records revealed this week.

A tenant of the home called authorities after going into the basement to "investigate a strange smell," and found a bag or tarp covered with blood, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Responding officers discovered the remains of an unidentified woman underneath, police said.

Authorities then obtained a search warrant and found other body parts in the upstairs apartment of a man identified in the report as 29-year-old James Chance. Grand Rapids Police detective Erika Fannon said the body parts were "suspected to have belonged to the torso located in the basement."

She said investigators had determined the suspect "was with a female acquaintance two days prior and that the female acquaintance was since reported as a missing person and she had not to this date been located."

Police are investigating whether it's the body of a Kalamazoo-area woman who was traveling to Grand Rapids and was last seen on Nov. 29.

Chance was taken into custody and charged with mutilation of a dead body and concealing the death of an individual with bond set at $750,000, the report said. Given his past criminal history and multiple probation violations, he was charged with being a four-time habitual offender, Fox 17 reported.

Police on Wednesday searched the home of Chance's parents in Holland, Mich., about 35 minutes southwest of Grand Rapids, according to the station.

Chance's next court appearance for a probable cause conference is scheduled for later this month. Authorities said identifying the victim "will take a little bit of extra time."
