The NBA has fined New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins $50,000 for directing inappropriate language at fans.

Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype passed along the league's statement on the matter:

DeMarcus Cousins has been fined $50,000, the NBA announced. https://t.co/BmuUZF2xXA

Cousins, 26, has averaged 22.1 points, 13.6 rebounds and 1.0 block in seven games since being traded to the Pelicans. The Pelicans (25-40) have gone just 2-6 since he was acquired, although an adjustment period isn't necessarily surprising as Cousins and fellow big man Anthony Davis work out the finer points of playing alongside one another.

After being acquired by the Pelicans, Cousins-who has a reputation for having a hot temper-admitted he would have to mind his emotions in New Orleans, per Michael Lee of The Vertical:

Michael Lee @MrMichaelLee
DeMarcus Cousins was asked how competitive he is: "About 17 technicals worth." Added that he'll have to "tone it down" in New Orleans

But Cousins received his 18th technical of the season in just his third game with the Pelicans, resulting in a one-game suspension. And now he's been hit with this fine, the latest in a string of incidents that also include Cousins berating a Sacramento Kings beat reporter earlier this season.

When the Pelicans acquired Cousins, they did so assuming a number of risks. Would he and Davis be a good fit? Would he sign a long-term extension with the team? Would he be able to reel in some of his fiery behavior?

The jury is still out on the first two questions. As for the third, Cousins hasn't gotten off to a strong start in his effort to "tone it down."

The heaviest woman in the world finally has surgery.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"She is very happy, she started dancing in her bed," Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala told CNN. "Her smile has come back."

Before she traveled to India for her operation, Eman weighed 1,102 pounds (500 kg) and she'd barely left her bedroom in more than two decades, her family said.

Over the last couple of years she'd been confined to her bed after a stroke severely impaired her speech and mobility.

"She is battling with her life every single day," Lakdawala told CNN last year. "Right now she is like a living bombshell, which could blow up on her any moment."

But Lakdawala told CNN on Thursday that since Eman arrived at the Saifee Hospital in New Delhi in February she'd lost more than 220 lbs (100 kg).

"Her parameters are all stabilized, kidney is much better, electrolytes are much better," he said, adding that they had a "window of safety" to perform the surgery -- a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

"She has done well post-surgery; she's back in her room and taking liquids," he told CNN.

He said if all went well, the intention was to take another 155 to 175 pounds (70 to 80 kg) off her weight before sending her home to Egypt within the next couple of months.

The next surgery will be next year, Lakdawala said.

Campaigning for her life

Eman is in India for the lifesaving surgery thanks to her sister Shaimma Ahmed, who last year launched a social media campaign drawing attention to her sister's plight.

Eman had suffered from thyroid problems since she was a child, but it wasn't until her stroke that her weight bloated to more than 1,000 pounds and she really began to deteriorate.

Doctors the family consulted seemed unable to get to the root of the problem, until her sister turned to social media as a last resort.

Lakdawala in Delhi responded and offered to help reduce Eman's weight. He said it would take two operations and at least three and half years to get her to a stage where she could bend and weighed under 220 pounds (100kg).

The venture was fraught with difficulties from the start.

Eman was initially refused a visa for India because of her inability to get to the embassy in person, until the process was expedited by India's external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj.

Next came the logistics of getting Eman on a flight.

Traditional planes and air ambulances couldn't accommodate a passenger of her size, so in what Egypt Air claimed was an industry first, the airline adapted a cargo plane especially to transport the patient to India.

But despite the hardships and roadblocks, for the Ahmed family, the opportunity for the 36-year-old to travel to India and have the surgery was a ray of light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

"She has always had hope that she would lose weight and get better," her sister Shaimaa said.

A man who injured seven people with an ax at a train station in Dusseldorf has been arrested, German police said.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police described the suspect, who lives in nearby Wuppertal, as "a 36-year-old man from the former Yugoslavia."

He "obviously has mental problems," Dusseldorf police said in a statement.

Of the seven people wounded in the Thursday night attack, three suffered severe injuries. Two women were among the injured.

Police believe the suspect acted alone.

Bruno Macedo, a passenger on a train that was due to stop in Dusseldorf, said his train was diverted to Cologne.

Another passenger, Martin Sebastian Abel, said his train was stopped before it got to the main station and they were told there was an emergency. Police officers rushed to the scene, but they were not told what was going on, he said.

The station remained closed Friday.

In July, a Pakistani teen traveling on a train near Wuerzburg injured five people with an ax before German police shot him dead. In a video found on YouTube after the attack, the teen described himself as a soldier of the caliphate and a martyr.

Police said he was driven by ISIS propaganda.

SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean court removed the president on Friday, a first in the nation's history, rattling the delicate balance of relationships across Asia at a particularly tense time.

Her removal capped months of turmoil, as hundreds of thousands of South Koreans took to the streets, week after week, to protest a sprawling corruption scandal that shook the top echelons of business and government.

Park Geun-hye, the nation's first female president and the daughter of the Cold War military dictator Park Chung-hee, had been an icon of the conservative establishment that joined Washington in pressing for a hard line against North Korea's nuclear provocations.

Now, her downfall is expected to shift South Korean politics to the opposition, whose leaders want more engagement with North Korea and are wary of a major confrontation in the region. They say they will re-examine the country's joint strategy on North Korea with the United States and defuse tensions with China, which has sounded alarms about the growing American military footprint in Asia.

Ms. Park's powers were suspended in December after a legislative impeachment vote, though she continued to live in the presidential Blue House, largely alone and hidden from public view, while awaiting the decision by the Constitutional Court. The house had been her childhood home: She first moved in at the age of 9 and left it nearly two decades later after her mother and father were assassinated in separate episodes.

Eight justices of the Constitutional Court unanimously decided to unseat Ms. Park for committing "acts that violated the Constitution and laws" throughout her time in office, Acting Chief Justice Lee Jung-mi said in a ruling that was nationally broadcast.

Ms. Park's acts "betrayed the trust of the people and were of the kind that cannot be tolerated for the sake of protecting the Constitution," Justice Lee said.

As the verdict was announced, silence fell over thousands of Park supporters who rallied near the courthouse waving South Korean flags. Soon, they tried to march on the court and called for "destroying" it. When the police blocked them, some of the mostly elderly protesters attacked the officers with flagpoles, hurling water bottles and pieces of the sidewalk pavement. Two pro-Park demonstrators, ages 60 and 72, died during the unrest.

Ms. Park did not comment on the ruling, and remained in the presidential palace after her removal from power. But In Myung-jin, the leader of Ms. Park's conservative Liberty Korea Party, said he "humbly respected" the ruling.

With the immunity conferred by her office now gone, Ms. Park, 65, faces prosecutors seeking to charge her with bribery, extortion and abuse of power in connection with allegations of conspiring with a confidante, her childhood friend Choi Soon-sil, to collect tens of millions of dollars in bribes from companies like Samsung.

By law, the country must elect a new president within 60 days. The acting president, Hwang Kyo-ahn, an ally of Ms. Park's, will remain in office in the interim. The Trump administration is rushing a missile defense system to South Korea so that it can be in place before the election.

After the ruling, Mr. Hwang called key Cabinet ministers to put the nation on a heightened state of military readiness, saying the lack of a president represented a national "emergency." He also warned North Korea against making "additional provocations."

The last time a South Korean leader was removed from office under popular pressure was in 1960, when the police fired on crowds calling for President Syngman Rhee to step down. ( Mr. Rhee, a dictator, fled into exile in Hawaii and died there.)

In a sign of how far South Korea's young democracy has evolved, Ms. Park was removed without any violence, after large, peaceful protests in recent months demanding that she step down. In addition to the swell of popular anger, the legislature and the judiciary - two institutions that have been weaker than the presidency historically - were crucial to the outcome.

"This is a miracle, a new milestone in the strengthening and institutionalizing of democracy in South Korea," said Kang Won-taek, a political scientist at Seoul National University.

When crowds took to the streets, they were not just seeking to remove a leader who had one year left in office. They were also rebelling against a political order that had held South Korea together for decades but is now fracturing under pressures both at home and abroad, analysts said.

Ms. Park's father ruled South Korea from 1961 to 1979. He founded its economic growth model, which transformed the nation into an export powerhouse and allowed the emergence of family-controlled conglomerates known as chaebol that benefited from tax cuts and anti-labor policies.

Ms. Park was elected in 2012 with the support of older conservative South Koreans who revered her father for the country's breakneck economic growth.

But the nexus of industry and political power gave rise to collusive ties, highlighted by the scandal that led to Ms. Park's fall.

The scandal also swept up the de facto head of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong, who was indicted on charges of bribing Ms. Park and her confidante, Ms. Choi.

Samsung, the nation's largest conglomerate, has been tainted by corruption before. But the company has been considered too important to the economy for any of its top leaders to spend time behind bars - until now. The jailing of Mr. Lee, who is facing trial, is another potent sign that the old order is not holding.

In the wake of the Park scandal, all political parties have vowed to curtail presidential power to pardon chaebol tycoons convicted of white-collar crimes. They also promised to stop chaebol chairmen from helping their children amass fortunes through dubious means, like forcing their companies to do exclusive business with the children's businesses.

With the conservatives discredited - and no leading conservative candidate to succeed Ms. Park - the left could take power for the first time in a decade. The dominant campaign issues will probably be North Korea's nuclear weapons program and South Korea's relations with the United States and China.

If the opposition takes power, it may try to revive its old "sunshine policy" of building ties with North Korea through aid and exchanges, an approach favored by China. That would complicate Washington's efforts to isolate the North at a time other Asian nations like the Philippines are gravitating toward Beijing.

Moon Jae-in, the Democratic Party leader who is leading in opinion surveys, has said that a decade of applying sanctions on North Korea had failed to stop its nuclear weapons programs. He has said that sanctions are necessary, but that "their goal should be to draw North Korea back to the negotiating table."

He believes that Ms. Park's decision to allow the deployment of the American missile defense system - known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or Thaad - has dragged the country into the dangerous and growing rivalry between Washington and Beijing; China has called the system a threat to its security and taken steps to punish South Korea economically for accepting it.

Conservative South Koreans see the deployment of the antimissile system not only as a guard against the North but also as a symbolic reaffirmation of the all-important alliance with the United States. Mr. Moon's party demands that the deployment, which began this week, be suspended immediately. If it takes power, it says it will review the deployment of the antimissile system to determine if it is in South Korea's best interest.

As South Korea has learned, it cannot always keep Washington and Beijing happy at the same time, as in the case of the country's decision to accept the American missile defenses.

Yet Ms. Park's impeachment was also a pushback against "Cold War conservatives" like her father, who seized on Communist threats from North Korea to hide their corruption and silence political opponents, said Kim Dong-choon, a sociologist at Sungkonghoe University in Seoul.

Ms. Park's father tortured and executed dissidents, framing them with spying charges. Now, his daughter faces charges that her government blacklisted thousands of unfriendly artists and writers.

"Her removal means that the curtain is finally drawing on the authoritarian political and economic order that has dominated South Korea for decades," said Ahn Byong-jin, rector of the Global Academy for Future Civilizations at Kyung Hee University in Seoul.

Analysts cautioned that political and economic change will come slowly.

As Mr. Moon put it recently: "We need a national cleanup. We need to liquidate the old system and build a new South Korea. Only then can we complete the revolution started by the people who rallied with candlelight."

Now the 8-year-old Idaho boy is being honored for his Herculean efforts. Last week, the American Red Cross of Greater Idaho presented J.T. with one of its 11 "East Idaho Real Heroes" awards for 2017.

It happened last summer while Stephen Parker and his sons, J.T. and 17 year-old Mason, were working on a Toyota Prius at their home in Sugar City, Idaho, according to EastIdahoNews.com.

Mason had gone inside after cutting his hand, and when Stephen went to adjust an axle, the car collapsed on him. J.T was the only one around who could hear him.

"I yelled to J.T. on the other side of the car, 'Jack it up quick! Jack it up quick!'" Stephen recalled. "I couldn't move at all. I was totally trapped, and then I passed out. It was all in his hands, and I thought, 'This is it. There's no way he can jack up this car because it took my 17-year-old son and I both to jack it up the first time.'"

But that wasn't going to stop J.T. from trying.

After adjusting the car jack, J.T. began jumping up and down on the jack's handle. And even though he only weighs 50 pounds, the car began to slowly rise off of his father.

After jacking the car up, J.T. ran to get Mason, who called 911.

In the 911 call recording, Mason can be heard telling his father that he needs to keep breathing.

"I know it hurts, but you gotta do it," Mason urges. "Breathe! Breathe! Breathe!"

"I can't," his father responds.

Stephen Parker was in critical condition when a helicopter flew him to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. He had 13 broken ribs, but no internal damage.

Once they'd returned from the hospital, Stephen asked J.T. to try to jack up the car once more. But the boy didn't have the superhuman strength anymore.

When asked how he did it, J.T. responded, "Angels."

"This whole thing is a miracle. There's no other way to describe it," said the boys' mother, Jodi Parker. "There's no way that little boy could have done that. I just felt that it was a responsibility we now have to tell people that miracles still exist."
