The Warriors Play the Clippers later on today and hoping to stay on a wining streak

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
LOS ANGELES - The Warriors have feasted on the Los Angeles Clippers lately. On Thursday night, Golden State will try to do it again in another clash of the Pacific Division rivals at Staples Center.

The Warriors own eight straight wins over the Clippers, and they claimed the past four meetings at Staples. The Clippers haven't defeated the Warriors since recording a 100-86 decision on Christmas Day in 2014. Since then, it's been nothing but misery for Los Angeles.

In the most recent meeting, on Saturday, Golden State rolled to a 144-98 romp at Oracle Arena. It was the most points allowed by the Clippers this season.

Stephen Curry poured in 25 of his 43 points in the third quarter before sitting out the final period as the reserves finished the rout.

Golden State has an average margin of victory of more than 13 points in the past eight contests against Los Angeles. The Warriors are averaging 117.5 points per game and shooting 49.9 percent during that stretch.

The Warriors (42-7) have won 11 of their last 12 contests overall, and they are 8-1 against division opponents this season. They defeated the Charlotte Hornets 126-11 on Wednesday night at Oracle. Curry scored 39 points, hitting 11 of 15 from 3-point range, and Klay Thompson added 29. The two players combined to go 17 of 25 from beyond the arc.

Golden State attempted a franchise-record 48 3-point shots.

"I just want open shots. I never care how many threes we take," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr after it was brought to his attention that Golden State attempted the same number of 2-pointers as treys in the game. "I thought most of (the 3-point attempts) were good."

The Warriors played without guard Shaun Livingston, who was a late scratch due to a back strain. Livingston, who was listed as doubtful for the Thursday game, was scheduled to fly with the club to Los Angeles and be re-examined.

The Clippers are coming off a 124-114 win over Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday. The contest capped a five-game road swing which the Clippers went 2-3.

Los Angeles (31-18) continues to play without point guard Chris Paul, who has missed six games since undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb on Jan. 18. Paul is not expected to return for another four to six weeks.

Without him, the Clippers are 2-4 in their last six games. Against Phoenix, Blake Griffin tied his season-high with 29 points in his third game since returning from knee surgery. Griffin's solid performance was needed since the Clippers lost center DeAndre Jordan to a third-quarter ejection for a flagrant-2 foul.

"This is the best Blake we've seen (since his return) by far," Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers said. "He played in gears. He knew when to go, and he knew when not to go."

Said Griffin, "I was proud how we stuck with it. With DJ going out and (Phoenix guard Eric Bledsoe) having a fantastic game, I was proud of the way we stayed with it and dug it out at the end."

After the Warriors game, the Clippers head back on the road for five more games, beginning Sunday against the Boston Celtics.

Trump vows to protect religious liberty – and knocks Arnold – at National Prayer Breakfast

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Trump vowed Thursday to "defend and protect" religious liberty on multiple fronts - describing his recent immigration executive order as part of that goal - during his first appearance as president at the traditional National Prayer Breakfast.

In wide-ranging remarks, the president spoke about the uniting power of faith, honored members of the U.S. military, and even took a swipe at his successor on "The Celebrity Apprentice," Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"It's been a total disaster," Trump said of the show since Schwarzenegger took over as host, reprising his taunts that the ratings have gone "down the tubes" - after he was introduced at the breakfast by "Apprentice" creator Mark Burnett.

"I want to just pray for Arnold if we can," joked Trump, who is listed in the "Apprentice" credits as the show's executive producer.

The movie star soon posted a video rejoinder on Twitter, saying, "Why don't we switch jobs? You take over TV because you're such an expert in ratings and I take over your job. Then people can finally sleep comfortably again."

After his ratings aside Thursday morning, the president moved on to describe his administration's policies toward national security and immigration as part of an overarching fight for religious liberty.
CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION ON RISE AROUND GLOBE
Amid criticism of Friday's executive order suspending the U.S. refugee program and restricting travel from seven mostly Muslim countries, Trump said his administration is developing a new screening system so that those who want to spread violence and intolerance are not admitted.

"My administration will do everything in its power to defend and protect religious liberty in our land."

- President Trump

"We will not allow a beachhead of intolerance to spread in our nation," he said. "... We want people to love us and to love our values."

Trump also described terrorism as a "fundamental threat to religious freedom" - saying peace-loving Muslims are being targeted and Christians are the victim of "genocide" in the Middle East - as he vowed: "It must be stopped."

"My administration will do everything in its power to defend and protect religious liberty in our land," he said.

Trump also used the faith forum to reiterate a vow from his campaign to eliminate the so-called Johnson Amendment, which bars some tax-exempt groups (including religious groups) from taking firm positions on political candidates.

"I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment," he said.

The breakfast itself marked a moment of calm amid a turbulent start to Trump's presidency.

His administration since Friday has been battling critics over his executive order on immigration. He unveiled his Supreme Court nominee Tuesday night, touching off an instant battle with Democrats hinting they may try and filibuster - as they simultaneously slow-walk consideration of a slew of remaining Cabinet nominees. Trump's secretaries of Treasury, Health and more still are not in place.

At the same time, Trump is plowing ahead with a string of meetings with business leaders, phone calls (some of them tense) with foreign heads of state and other executive orders meant to jolt the economy and boost national security. A day earlier, his White House put Iran "on notice" over recent missile tests, a message Trump reiterated on Twitter shortly before Thursday's prayer breakfast.

Shoring up a key U.S. alliance, Trump also met on the sidelines of the prayer breakfast with King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Banning cars on Saturdays in Mexico City hasn't reduced air pollutants, according to a new study.

Scientists had expected that limiting driving at the weekend would reduce vehicle emissions by 15%.

But this analysis looking at pollution measurements in a city with serious air quality problems, found no discernible effect.

Residents got round the restrictions by car pooling, using taxis and purchasing extra vehicles, researchers say.

Back in 1992, the UN declared Mexico City the world's most polluted city.

Massive growth in the use of cars coupled with a geographic location that trapped a toxic blanket of dirty air over the city saw tens of thousands of people hospitalised every year.

In an effort to tackle the problem, restrictions were introduced in 1989 with drivers prevented from using their cars on one day per week. The system was based on number plates so a licence ending in a five or six meant the car couldn't be driven on Monday and so on.

The programme, known as Hoy No Circula, has been hugely successful in terms of compliance and has seen some improvements in air quality with Mexico no longer ranked as the most polluted city, having been overtaken on that dubious honour list by the likes of Beijing and Delhi.

Mexico's driving curbs were extended to Saturdays back in 2008 with an analysis carried out beforehand indicating that nitrogen oxides and large particulates would decline by 16%.

To look at the impact of the Saturday restriction, US researchers analysed not just air quality samples but also public transportation numbers and weekend attendance at the city's zoo to get a clearer picture of overall activity.

"I looked at a whole bunch of pollutants, mean levels, maximum levels, every hour of the day, but I couldn't find any evidence that the programme improved air quality," Dr Lucas Davis from the University of California, Berkeley, who carried out the study told BBC News.

"The thinking was it was supposed to get people to take public transportation but if you look at data, they didn't and anecdotally people say they don't take the subway on the day they can't drive, they get a family member to drive them or they take taxis."

Public transport in Mexico City is inexpensive the author says, but often overcrowded. He also believes there are cultural factors behind the reluctance to give up the car.

"Driving is a real status symbol in Mexico City, and once a family have raised enough money to buy a car, there's a status associated with private vehicles that's tough for people to break. There's a bit of a cultural or socio-economic resistance to taking public transport."

Despite this study, other experts believe that Mexico has made significant strides towards improving the environment while both the population and the economy have expanded and hundreds of thousands of new vehicles have come on to the roads.

"Alongside driving restrictions, Mexico City has made massive investments in public transport to provide cleaner alternatives to driving," said Mark Watts, executive director of C40, the global network of cities dedicated to improving the environment and fighting climate change.

"Several new bus rapid transit lines have opened recently and they have the largest year-round bike sharing scheme in North America. At the recent C40 Mayors Summit hosted by Mexico City, Mayor Mancera committed to ban diesel cars from the city by 2025, because they are responsible for the pollutants that are most dangerous to public health."

Madrid, Athens and Paris have have also promised to stop the use of all diesel powered cars and trucks from the middle of the next decade.

Many cities in emerging economies are now putting driving restrictions similar to Mexico in place to curb the growing problem of dirty air. So are there lessons in the Mexican experience that will make the imposition of driving schemes more effective in other growing cities?

"You have to go more directly after pollution," says Dr Davis.

"So that means increasing the cost of driving, and that means higher gas prices, or congestion pricing or parking and it also means more emissions testing and making it more stringent."

The research has been published in the journal, Scientific Reports.

Senior Writer for ESPN.com and ESPN The Magazine

Joined ESPN The Magazine after graduating from the University of Missouri.

Although he primarily covers the NFL, his assignments also have taken him to the Athens Olympics, the World Series, the NCAA tournament and the NHL and NBA playoffs.

HE LOOKED HANDSOME. He was behind the podium at Gillette Stadium, answering questions about a letter he wrote to the president-elect of the United States. This was back in November, the day after the election. It was a Wednesday, the most serious football day of the week, the day when the game plans are installed, the day when he sets the tone, the day that reporters know he is the most buttoned-up -- the day that, for years, he often wore his famous gray hoodie with the severed sleeves.

On this day, though, he was wearing a nice dress shirt, pressed and cut, striped aqua and purple, one button undone. Business casual, in other words. He cleaned up well. He has given thousands of news conferences in his career. He has explained Super Bowl wins and Super Bowl losses, accolades and scandals, the precious life of his grandchild and the horrific death of a man at the hands of one of his former players. But this news conference was exceptional -- not because he felt forced to explain a letter he wrote to Donald Trump, though that's what made the headlines. It was exceptional because for a man whose essence is rooted in not giving a hell about how he looks, Bill Belichick not only now did ... but he has for quite some time, even at the expense of his signature piece of clothing.

IT HAS BEEN one of the most overlooked transformations in the NFL over the past few years: Belichick wears nice dress shirts to news conferences more often than any other coach. You always hear about how head coaches are CEOs. Well, Belichick, of all people, is the only one who actually dresses the part. What has made all of this even more remarkable is that as he has tightened up his look, he has drastically scaled back his deployment of his famous gray, serrated hoodie. Yes, he wore a blue hoodie three times this year, but not once did he deploy the iconic gray one with the hacked-off sleeves. In fact, he hasn't worn that particular hoodie since January 2013. (The gray one did make an appearance during one game this season against the Jets, but the sleeves were still intact.) You can place a prop bet on which hoodie Belichick will wear on Sunday, but you might do well to bet none.

And so, a question: What causes someone who specializes in cutting the drag by eliminating his clothing choices suddenly add drag at age 64?

Belichick always insisted that he wore hoodies because they were comfortable. But that look -- standing on a sideline vaguely and proudly disheveled and emperor-like -- became a central tenet to his professional identity. Like what the black turtleneck did to Steve Jobs and what the gray tee does to Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie spoke for Belichick in a way that he couldn't speak for himself. It prompted David Letterman to call him a "Sherpa on the sideline." Biographer David Halberstam used it to show how Belichick consciously avoided "the trappings of celebrity," similar to how Eddie Vedder lived in a self-imposed depraved state during the recording of "Vs." Columnist Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! once reported that Belichick wore the hoodie out of irritation with the NFL's $250 million deal with Reebok, which mandated that coaches wear its apparel. A man who detests distractions became a schlubby protest on the sideline, making the sloppiest apparel item available even sloppier with ragged sleeves.

Perhaps the most interesting way to view Tom Brady in the autumn of his career is by acknowledging how improbable it is that he became the most reliable lightning rod in football.

Tom Brady is 4-2 in Super Bowls, with a chance at title No. 5 on Sunday. Joe Montana went 4-0 -- and never threw an interception in the NFL's biggest game. Who is the greatest QB of all time?

"Fans weren't bowled over by the news," read one headline when Bill Belichick was hired in 2000 as Patriots coach, but perhaps they've warmed to him.

But more than anything, the hoodie served as a reminder that Bill Belichick wanted to be defined as a coach. Always a coach. Only a coach. In the two-hour NFL Network documentary about Belichick during the 2009 season, he is hardly shown engaging in activities outside of football -- most notably, on a boat during the summer and at a Halloween party dressed as a pirate -- and it ends with him driving to work on a dark January morning after a playoff loss, lamenting about all of the life activities he misses due to his chosen profession as he also explains that he has a hard time imagining himself doing anything else. He then walks into the office with no game to prepare for, as much out of duty as out of habit, a train on the tracks.

Belichick is 32-9 in his classic gray cutoff hoodie, according to a chart complied by Mike Dussault of PatsPropaganda.com. Belichick wore it during his third Super Bowl win, with his late father on the sideline. He wore it during his second Super Bowl loss to the Giants. It became what the houndstooth hat was to Paul "Bear" Bryant: a signature piece, worth selling and even worth emulating -- most blatantly by Josh McDaniels when he coached the Broncos. Belichick would shorten the sleeves himself, literally cutting the drag. "Hoodie sleeves are annoying and restrict mobility, and he has short arms anyway, so one day he just said, 'F--- this,' and chopped them up," a former Patriots assistant said. According to friends, Belichick donated used hoodies to charity. But this year, he didn't wear any kind of hoodie -- blue or gray, sleeved or not -- in a game until Nov. 27 against the Jets. Meanwhile, it became routine for him to appear for weekday and even postgame news conferences looking like he had raided Brooks Brothers (or at least a Brooks Brothers outlet).

During a season in which Belichick forever assaulted the myth that he needs Tom Brady to win, he also assaulted the myth of himself.

HE STILL INDULGES his inner slob, of course. He still wears pullovers. He still wears those Patriots-branded mock turtlenecks. He still wears sweatshirts with the sleeves awkwardly cut at the biceps, showing off his guns, looking a little like his pal Jon Bon Jovi during the New Jersey tour. Inside the Patriots' building, Belichick was never known for his hoodies. He was known for his socks.

Yes, socks.

There was a moment during game-planning meetings that staffers always dreaded, according to those who have worked with Belichick. It was after practice, early evening, when the day began in earnest for the coaches. Belichick and his staff would review practice. He'd spend two hours that seemed like 12 on defense and special teams. He'd call a five-minute break, during which all the coaches would hustle to the cafeteria, only to see there wasn't much food left. After they reconvened for film, Belichick would notice that, say, a receiver messed up a read.

"Why the f--- doesn't he know what to do? Didn't anyone tell him?" he'd say.

The coaches replied that the receiver was told what to do and that they'd reiterate it the next day, hoping Belichick wouldn't belabor the point. But Belichick always belabors. That's his genius. He'd rub his face and say, "Have we ever coached a down of football?"

The coaches would be moderately horrified at what sometimes happened next: Belichick would remove his sneakers and put his feet on the table. The room was hot. His feet smelled. There was neither an end nor an escape in sight. There was essentially no daylight between the guy in those meetings and the guy we saw on the sideline -- until lately. It was obvious on Monday at Super Bowl Opening Night, which is another term for media day. Belichick was the only Patriot behind a podium who not only wore a nice shirt, not only wore a tie, but also wore a suit. He smiled a lot. He looked dignified. It became news, his fashion statement more interesting than his football statements. "Where's the hoodie?" someone asked.

"I'll have one by the end of the week," he said. "So maybe you'll recognize me."

IT'S HIS GIRLFRIEND, people suspect.

On the surface, that's the only rationale that makes sense. Belichick didn't change clothes out of superstition; he is proudly indifferent to superstition. A few close to him theorize he might have gotten angry that the hoodie became marketed and sold, and so he switched up his wardrobe like a game plan, resolute in avoiding tendencies. But theory fails to account for the fact that his charity foundation sells gray hoodies. It's how he chooses to sell himself.

Unlike some coaches who created their own iconic styles, Belichick never wore the hoodie out of insecurity. Bear Bryant, for instance, was always nervous about his fashion sense. According to biographer Allen Barra, Bear so envied the handsome and dapper Bud Wilkinson that before the 1963 Orange Bowl against Wilkinson's Oklahoma Sooners, Bear asked his wife, Mary Harmon, to look at pictures of Bud and buy him some clothes to match. She bought him a nice three-piece suit. Sadly, neither of them took into account the South Florida heat. Bud arrived for the game in short sleeves. Bear wore the suit and almost fainted. (Alabama won anyway, 17-0.)

When Bear discovered his famous houndstooth hat after Jets owner Sonny Werblin gave it to him after the team signed Joe Namath, Bear discovered himself -- or, more specifically, what he wanted to be. Belichick's hoodie also seemed to be a vessel for self-actualization. He was always a strange combination of precocious and a late-bloomer, a coach who got his first head job as a hot, young assistant before waiting five years for a second chance. More than anyone, Belichick internalized the thin line between winning and losing. It was deeply personal, as if his own self-worth were at stake. After Belichick became the first coach to win three Super Bowls in four years, he sought to tamp down the "genius" talk. The hoodie helped. He might have pulled some ninja moves on a football field -- remember when he took an intentional safety against the Broncos in 2003? -- but he would damn sure not look highfalutin in doing so.

"In a year in which Belichick forever assaulted the myth that he needs Tom Brady to win, he also assaulted the myth of himself."

So what changed? Was it his longtime girlfriend, Linda Holliday? Belichick is often dolled up when he's photographed with her, but he doesn't look pretentious. He looks happy. The two of them pop up in the Boston Herald's Inside Track gossip column, usually in the offseason, usually at a charity event and usually, that's the only time he smiles in front of a camera unless he's with his kids or holding the Lombardi trophy. Is it fair to assume that Holliday is the one who nudged Belichick toward allowing the world to see the version of him that she sees?

"No," a longtime friend said. "He is his own stylist."

Maybe the clearest explanation arrived not when Belichick was wearing a nice shirt but when he was wearing a gray sweatshirt before the 49ers game in November. It wasn't a hoodie. In fact, it was unlike anything he had ever worn before. Belichick walked onto the field in a sweatshirt with "VI Rings" embroidered on it -- a not-so-subtle reference to his six Super Bowl wins as a coach.

Now, that was a fashion statement -- before a game, no less. It was pure bravado, and it flew in the face of everything he has stood for. Assistant coaches used to notice how bereft the Patriots' office was of any sign of accomplishment. "I think you'd expect something like a Donald Trump office, with all kinds of things advertising and promoting the ego of the coach," former Patriots assistant coach Dean Pees once said. "But not here. ... That's all Bill. He doesn't want the trappings of the past, doesn't need them. He knows they lead to complacency. He does not allow complacency."

Belichick has embraced the trappings. The inevitability of time is a powerful motivator. He has been coaching professional football for 42 years. He has been singular in his pursuit of greatness -- at a cost. He has missed many of his kids' special moments. He has endured fallouts with players and coaches and opponents. He presided over a team that twice in eight years has been levied with historic penalties for cheating. Our image of him is complicated, but it continues to evolve. That's why the "VI Rings" sweatshirt was a tiny glimpse into his mind. The image he wanted us to have isn't the one we thought we knew, and he didn't care.

Until, of course, he put on his game clothes.

ON MONDAY MORNING, the Patriots held a rally before flying to Houston. It was extra-charged because of Deflategate, and so it felt a little like a political rally -- rage against an institution. Belichick took the microphone to a loud and sustained applause. He was dressed in a gray suit with a purple shirt and striped tie, the best-dressed of the group of Patriots on stage. It was the same outfit he wore to his news conference that night. He is often tight during the regular season but loose during Super Bowl week, aware of his place in history.

Nobody knows how much longer Belichick will coach. Well, that's not totally true. People close to him know. Or have a vague notion. The end isn't this year or next, but it's coming, maybe when his two sons, Steve and Brian, who work with the Patriots as the safeties coach and as a scouting assistant, respectively, are firmly established in their NFL careers. That idea of him not coaching, an idea that even he has struggled with, brings a palpable sadness to those who spend a lot of time with him. They worry for his happiness without the weekly rhythm that has attended his entire adult life. He has been as close to a one-man operation as a coach can be in the salary-cap era, winning regardless of staff and roster. But the idea of him truly alone, without a team for the first time -- few can say what that looks like. He wants to remember these moments during Super Bowls and to be remembered by them.

At the rally, the crowd roared. "Thank you," Belichick said. "Thank you."

He tried to talk, but the noise wouldn't let up. He finally spoke over the crowd, and he droned on for a few moments about being "excited for the opportunity" and how the team has "worked extremely hard" and how they "will have to be at our best." He gave the crowd a thumbs-up. He faded into the background but stood out as the only one on stage in a tie, still looking for all the world like a coach.

Social media exploded on Wednesday following Beyonce's announcement that she's pregnant- with twins.

Her Instagram post showing herself posing in front of flowers and announcing the pregnancy had been liked an astounding 8.2 million times by Thursday, and garnered hundreds of thousands of comments.

That has reportedly earned Beyonce a record: most liked Instagram post ever, according to Guinness World Records. Before Beyonce's twin's photo, the record belonged to a pic of Selena Gomez sipping a Coke.

Twitter went crazy, too: at peak, people sent 17,000 tweets per minute about the big news.

A hostage from a 19 hour prison standoff was found dead.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sgt. Steven Floyd, a 16-year veteran of the department, was found unresponsive and was pronounced dead at 5:29 a.m., minutes before authorities secured the scene at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna, officials said.

Authorities did not provide a cause of deathfor Floyd, 47, saying an autopsy will be conducted.

Another prison official who had been taken hostage was rescued from the prison's C Building. She was treated at a local hospital.

"She is alert and well," Perry Phelps, the state corrections commissioner, said in a news conference.

Harrowing hours

Shortly after 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, a corrections officer radioed for help in a building that houses about 120 inmates. It's unclear what triggered the call for assistance.

It's also unclear what weapons the inmates used. Police were told they had "sharp instruments,"according to Robert Coupe, secretary of Delaware's Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

The all-male facility, the largest in the state, was placed on lockdown and surrounded by police. By the time backup arrived, four corrections employees, including a female counselor, had been taken hostage, police said.

Over the course of the standoff, 46 inmates exited the building, officials said, but Coupe warned reporters that all 120 inmates in C Building, including those 46, are still considered suspects.

"I would not say that they were released. They came out of the building," he told reporters.

About 2:30 p.m., one officer was released and taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, officials said.

Shortly before 8 p.m., a second officer was let go, Coupe said. A helicopter with CNN affiliate WPVI-TV showed footage of the second hostage being wheeled out on a stretcher. That person underwent a health evaluation, Coupe said.

At 10:52 p.m., three maintenance workers who had been hiding in the basement made their way to the rooftop, where police were able to rescue them, Phelps said.

The barricades

During negotiations, the prisoners demanded that the water be turned back on in C Building. Authorities obliged, Coupe said, believing that the demand was related to hydration and hygiene.

But the prisoners used the water to fill metal foot lockers -- roughly 18 by 24 inches in size -- which they used to construct walls barricading the building's entrances, Coupe said.

Negotiations wore on through Wednesday. Prisoners, using a radio taken from a correctional officer, demanded better conditions at the prison, including education, rehabilitation programs and improved training for prison guards, according to radio traffic picked up by CNN reporters.

State and federal negotiators cautioned the prisoners that these were things that would not happen overnight.

The radio traffic also indicated that a negotiator was concerned about a woman being held hostage and repeatedly asked to talk to a male hostage, to no avail.

Coupe said, at one point, authorities became aware that someone was streaming the negotiations on the Internet and put a stop to it.

Prisoners contact paper

Prisoners not only issued demands to negotiators, but they also called The News Journal in Wilmington, Delaware, according to the newspaper. Several people spoke to a reporter, including a woman identified as a therapist, whose voice was quavering during the call.

A man, who told the paper he was not permitted to provide his name, got on the phone and said he didn't know the identities of the hostage takersbecause they were wearing masks. The man said he wanted to convey the prisoners' demands, but the connection was choppy and abruptly cut off.

A second man called later and pointed fingers at the newly elected President of the United States.

"Donald Trump. Everything that he did. All the things that he's doing now. We know that the institution is going to change for the worse," the newspaper quoted the man as saying. "We got demands that you need to pay attention to, that you need to listen to, and you need to let them know."

He complained of abusive treatment and said the inmates want better education and rehabilitation programs, along with transparency in how tax dollars are spent on those programs.

"If they keep on playing games, (it's) going to get ugly," he told the paper.

Plan B

During the negotiations, authorities realized the doors to C Building had been barricaded and began efforts to secure a "breach vehicle" to enter the building. None was immediately available, though Maryland State Police said it would provide one, Coupe said.

Before the vehicle could arrive, police decided they could wait no longer. About 5 a.m. Thursday, they used a state Department of Correction backhoe to breach C Building and enter the prison, Coupe said.

A few minutes later, police discovered the female correction official, who indicated "there were inmates that actually shielded this victim," Coupe said. She was not injured but was taken to a hospital for evaluation, he said.

All the prisoners remaining in C Building were removed, searched, sent to an infirmary and put in new cells, he said. Investigators then began "going cell by cell collecting evidence."

The facility, with three narrow hallways and a central hub, is about 90 miles east of Washington, and houses 2,500 inmates who are in minimum-, medium- and maximum-security cells. Death row inmates are also held there.

C Building is the area where prisoners who are being transferred from minimum- to medium-security cells are held, along with inmates who are being downgraded from maximum security to medium security, Coupe said.

Gov. John Carney said in a news conference he is praying for the fallen officer's family and praised the officers who "go to work every day knowing they may not go home, as do their families."

In a statement, the governor said the top priority is to determine what happened and how it unfolded over the course of the "long and agonizing situation." That includes holding those responsible accountable and making "whatever changes are necessary to ensure nothing like it ever happens again," he said.

Carney ordered the state's flags to be flown at half-staff.

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. -- The handlers of Pennsylvania's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said the furry rodent has "predicted" six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow at dawn Thursday.

The top hat-wearing members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle reveal Phil's forecast every Feb. 2, based on a German legend surrounding Candlemas. The legend says if a furry rodent casts a shadow that day, winter continues. If not, spring comes early.

In reality, Phil's prediction is decided ahead of time by the group on Gobbler's Knob, a tiny hill just outside Punxsutawney about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

Thousands of people gathered overnight to await the forecast. They were treated to folk music and a Star Wars-themed fireworks display under cloudy skies, with temperatures just below freezing, while they waited.

The groundhog's prediction is typically contained in a short poem, sometimes referencing current events or - when the nearby Pittsburgh Steelers are participating - a comment on the Super Bowl, which usually follows a few days later.

But this year, Phil stayed on message and didn't reference football, President Donald Trump or anything other than the weather.

"It's mighty cold weather, you've been braving. Is it more winter or is it spring that you're craving? Since you've been up all night and starting to tottle, I, Punxsutawney Phil, shall not dawdle," the proclamation read. "My faithful followers, I could clearly see a beautiful, perfect shadow of me. Six more weeks of winter, it shall be!"

Records dating to 1887 show Phil has now predicted more winter 103 times while forecasting an early spring just 18 times - including last year. There are no records for the remaining years.

Jeff Grube, member of the "Groundhog Inner Circle," told CBS Pittsburgh that the movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray has increased the crowds at Gobbler's Knob since its release in 1993.

"That just got us such a wide notoriety that the crowds probably grew by 10 times," Grube said.
