Carlos Nuzman, the president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee, has been arrested for buying votes to secure the 2016 Olympic Games for Rio de Janeiro.

According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), Nuzman's arrest follows an investigation in which he was questioned by both Brazilian and French authorities in September.

They believe he was involved in the direction of $2 million to former International Olympic Committee member Lamine Diack in 2009 to buy votes for Rio to host the Games.

Leonardo Gryner was also taken into custody on Thursday along with Nuzman, 75.

Per Agencia Brasil (h/t CNN's Julia Jones and Tom McGowan), the pair are charged withcorruption, money laundering and organised crime.

Inside the Games' Nick Butler shared the IOC's statement on the matter:

Congress man speaks against abortion then tells mistress to get one.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The latest iteration of this old hypocrisy: US Rep. Tim Murphy, R- Pennsylvania, a "pro-life" congressman and sponsor of a ban on abortions after 20 weeks, who also, t exts suggest, encouraged his lover to terminate a pregnancy. (It turned out to be a scare.)

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette obtained texts between Murphy and his mistress; in them, she criticizes him for hypocrisy after his Facebook page promoted a pro-life event.

"You have zero issue posting your pro-life stance all over the place when you had no issue asking me to abort our unborn child just last week when we thought that was one of the options," she wrote, according to the paper.

Murphy responded, "I get what you say about my March for life messages. I've never written them. Staff does them. I read them and winced. I told staff don't write any more. I will."

But two days later, Murphy (or his office) sent out an e-newsletter championing the pro-life cause. (Asked aboutthe report, a spokesperson for Murphy said, "The office has no comment or response to the story.")

Not long after the bombshell news report about the texts, the National Republican Congressional Committee confirmed that Murphy will not seek reelection at the end of his term.

Feminists sometimes joke about the one abortion exception pro-lifers honor: "rape, incest and me." I have interviewed abortion clinic workers with stories about pro-life protesters who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant and needing the clinic's help.

We human beings have a remarkably dark ability to see our own decisions as justifiable, while viewing others through a harsher lens.

That's why you can be a woman opposed to abortion (for others) sitting in a clinic for your own procedure and still confirm your political views. The other women there are irresponsible and sexually loose, and you, on the other hand, are making a difficult and regrettable decision.

That's why you can be an anti-abortion Republican congressman but still hold the apparent view that abortion rights extend solely and secretly to the women with whom you have had adulterous sex.

Murphy isn't even the only one we have heard about in this vein. Four years ago US Rep. Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee- whose spokesman touted the Republican's "100 percent pro-life voting record"-- asked both his mistress and his wife to have abortions, too, according to reporting in the Chatanooga Times Free Press, citing documents from his divorce proceedings. He remains in Congress.

For people like this, opposition to abortion appears to be not so much about fetal life, as about controlling women. It's about discomfort with the female power and progress facilitated by abortion rights. Which is exactly why abortion suddenly becomes an option when it will help a man's career or his life -- regardless of what the pregnant woman wants.

For those who prefer life to be simple, there is something satisfying about the rigid dogma the pro-life movement offers. It becomes less nice when that rigidity presses against the fleshy lives of actual human beings moving through a complicated world not arranged for their deeply consequential concerns.

This is why women need to be the decision-makers on this most intimate of questions. Spending nearly a year growing a human being inside your own body -- nourishing it with your own nutrients, limiting your own mobility, irrevocably changing your body, holding and forming this creature in your innermost depths -- this is an enormous task.

The natural and ineluctable process expands your pelvic bones, displaces your internal organs and ends with you pushing a new human out through your vagina or having your abdomen and uterus cut open to remove this new child, often tearing your most intimate and sensitive body parts. Birthing a baby is an excruciating and amazing physical feat, one that still kills and maims enormous numbers of new mothers.

It is also an astonishing gift, and in a sane world, we would be collectively humbled before the women who opt to endure it. We would not be demanding that it be mandatory.

One would hope that a moment in the personal chaos of life would give pro-lifers like Murphy the humility to admit they cannot make these decisions for anyone else. But that would require seeing women as legitimate, moral decision-makers.

If Murphy wants to atone for stepping outside the bounds of principles he tells voters he possesses, it shouldn't be with more pro-life platitudes. He should shut his mouth, step back and let women do what he has been able to do for himself: Take the reins and guide their own lives.

A man in New Jersey noticed he had a bee problem so he called a bee keeper to come take a look. Upon inspection, he found 30,000 bees living inside the walls of his house. Along with that, he also found 40 pounds of honey. The beekeeper said they seemed very aggressive, stinging him 30-40 times compared to the normal dozen times.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
HILLSIDE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) - Tens of thousands of bees were found hiding in the walls of a New Jersey home.

The Hillside homeowner said he didn't realize just how bad the problem was. But when a beekeeper opened up a wall in his home, there were 30,000 bees inside.

The beekeeper also found 40 pounds of honey.

The homeowner said he has had a bee problem for months.

"It was really noisy. Saw them all humming and huddled up together. Couldn't believe that many bees was in the wall," he said.

"I was stung probably 30 or 40 times. I usually get stung maybe half a dozen. But 30 or 40 is a lot of stinging, and through double equipment, too," Mickey "The Beekeeper" told CBS2. "So very, very aggressive bees. Really on the edge of killer bees."

All of the bees were removed from the home Saturday night.

They're being relocated to a church in Rochelle Park that lost its bee hive this summer.

Whole foods has been hacked adding to the list of stores. They have sa

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Another day, another cybersecurity breach.

Whole Foods Market -- which was recently acquired by tech giant Amazon -- said Thursday that hackers were able to gain access to credit card information for customers who made purchases at some of its in-store taprooms and restaurants.

The company did not disclose details about the locations that were targeted or how many customers might have been effected.

The tap rooms and restaurants use different payment systems than Whole Foods check-out counters, the company said. "Amazon.com systems do not connect to these systems," the company clarified in a press release.

Amazon did not return a request for comment.

"When Whole Foods Market learned of this, the company launched an investigation, obtained the help of a leading cyber security forensics firm, contacted law enforcement, and is taking appropriate measures to address the issue," the company said. Whole Foods says it plans to provide updates throughout the investigation.

Related: Sonic customer info likely targeted by hackers

Hackers targeted "point of sale systems" -- or the machines where customers swipe or insert their cards -- in order to steal the data, according to the press release.

Sound familiar? The news comes just one day after reports that Sonic , the drive-in restaurant chain, suffered a strikingly similar problem.

KrebsOnSecurity, a notable cybersecurity blog, had identified a potential breach at some Sonic restaurants that was likely executed the same way Whole Foods says it was hacked -- remotely via point of sale systems.

Krebs estimates millions of credit and debit card numbers could have been stolen in that hack.

Two other restaurants -- Wendy's and Chipotle -- suffered breaches earlier this year for similar reasons.

Wendy's said in July that point of sale systems at more than 1,000 of its U.S. restaurants were targeted by hackers, compromising an unknown number of credit and debit cards.

Equifax data breach: What you need to know

Chipotle was hit in March and April. The company said in May that "most, but not all" of its restaurants may have been involved in a credit-card theft scheme carried out by hackers who installed malware on cash registers.

The Whole Foods breach also follows one of the most high-profile data breaches in history.

Just weeks ago, credit reporting bureau Equifax admitted that hackers were able to gain access to personal information for as many as 143 million Americans. That breach went beyond stolen credit card numbers -- it put large numbers of individuals at risk for identity theft.

Major corporations that have faced large data breaches in recent years include Yahoo, Verizon, Walmart, Anthem, Myspace and LinkedIn.

Japan's public broadcaster has revealed that one of its reporters died from overwork.

Japan's public broadcaster has revealed that one of its reporters died from overwork.

NHK said that labor officials had concluded that the 31-year-old political reporter died from heart failure caused by spending long hours on the job.

Japan, known for its 'salaryman' culture and punishing work hours, has struggled for years to tackle the impact of overwork on employees' health. A government study published last year found that one in five workers is at risk of working themselves to death.

Excessive hours are such a big problem that there's even a Japanese word for death by overwork: karoshi.

According to a news story published by NHK, Miwa Sado had worked 159 hours of overtime in the month before her death.

The circumstances of Sado's death in 2013 had not been made public until this week.

NHK said it was taking the death of its employee very seriously. The broadcaster has pledged to reform the way its reporters work.

Related: Japan needs more workers but can't find them

The 2015 suicide of another Japanese worker, Matsuri Takahashi, had previously been linked to overwork.

Japanese regulators found that she had been forced to work excessively long hours at an advertising agency, clocking about 105 hours of overtime in the month leading up to her death. The extreme schedule resulted in her suicide, they ruled.

The CEO of the ad company resigned over the issue.

Labor lawyers and citizens groups have for decades pushed for changes to Japanese law to recognize karoshi as a serious social issue. Their efforts resulted in a 2014 law that called for better working conditions but didn't force companies to act.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Police say a deadly crash happened Wednesday evening at about 6 in the area of 5th and Washington. The scene was three blocks east of N. 7th Street Trafficway.

KCK Police Chief Terry Zeigler says that one person was killed and two people were hurt.

Officers say that the driver of a silver SUV collided with a gold sedan.

The initial investigation revealed that two black males were in the SUV and driving fast while going southbound on Fifth Street when they struck the sedan. That driver was a Hispanic male and headed westbound on Washington Boulevard, he was ejected and found dead at the scene.

The men in the SUV were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. The crash is still under investigation.

Tanning mishap leaves Adidas logo on woman's leg

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There's a new way to show your logo love, and it's as easy squeezing of a tube of tanning lotion.

On Oct. 1, Eve Mallon, of Scotland, put on a pair of Adidas pants a little too soon after getting a spray tan, and took to Twitter to warn others of her beauty blunder.
VAMPIRE BREAST LIFTS ARE THE NEW BEAUTY FAD
"That's the last time [I] work out with tan on btw ahahah," she noted, tweeting a photo of her leg clearly imprinted with the sportswear company's name.

The tweet has since gone viral, winning over 48,000 likes, nearly 6,000 retweets, and almost 300 comments in matter of days. Mallon's cosmetic warning apparently resonated with the Twitterverse, too, as many shared similar tales of artificial bronzing gone wrong.

Incredibly, one fellow Twitter user shared a picture of the exact same (presumably unintentional) Adidas imprint on her leg.
WELLNESS BLOGGER BELLE GIBSON FINED OVER $322,000 FOR FAKE CANCER CURE CLAIMS
While it's not clear exactly how Mallon got the stamp, it's likely she put on the workout leggings soon after tanning, Yahoo Lifestyle reports.

"With traditional self-tanners, the rule is not to exercise, sweat, get wet, or wear excessively tight clothing for at least eight hours," Sophie Evans, St. Tropez skin-finishing expert, told the site. Evans believes that Mallon put on the fitted pants soon after applying the tanner, causing the fabric to cling to the formula and lift it from the skin.

Mallon's hilarious Adidas imprint even caught the eye of the athletic wear empire.

"We'd say it's fate. Way to rep the Three Stripes, Eve. We see you," Adidas tweeted from their verified account on Oct. 2.

Acting fast before the logo could fade, Mallon cheekily retorted "Soooo, does this mean i get free stuff?"

Adidas has yet to reply.

Fired construction worker kills foreman and takes his own life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A fired construction worker shot and killed the foreman who had given him the boot at an Upper West Side building early Thursday, then took his own life, police and witnesses said.

The supervisor was on the 38th floor of the W. 59th St. building near 11th Ave. about 7:10 a.m. when the shooter, identified by colleagues as a carpenter named Sammy, approached and blasted away, striking his foreman at least three times, including at least once in the head.

The supervisor died at the scene. His name was not immediately released.

The 38th floor was filled with stunned construction workers when the shooting took place.

Moments before the shooting Sammy handed his tools to a colleague.

"These are yours now," he said to the colleague before turning around, pulling a gun and shooting his supervisor, one horrified witness said.

The gunman then went down to the fifth floor, where he fatally shot himself, police said.

Cops found his body after doing a floor-by-floor search of the building.

Co-workers said that Sammy, whose nickname is "The Bull," was fired two days ago after he got into a fight with his foreman over a wall he had just put up.

That afternoon, he was given his last check and fired, co-workers said.

Sammy appeared calm when he showed up at the site Thursday, according to one witness.

"I was shocked when I saw him this morning," said Spider Pagan. "I jokingly asked him 'Sammy, you bringing a gun to the job site?' and now I find out he shot my friend."

"Not me Spider, I'm going down," Sammy responded to Pagan's crack, motioning to the elevator, Pagan said.

Witnesses said the gunman and the victim were members of the concrete and carpenters union Local 212.

A call to the union for comment was not immediately returned.

"We called him 'The Bull' because he was so strong," Pagan said. "If he was in a fight, we couldn't break it up."

"He was a tough guy and hard-headed but all and all a solid worker," Pagan added. "But (he's) a mental case. I wouldn't want to cross his path. He can flip easily ... But I never thought it would go this far."

The victim and shooter worked at Three Waterline Square, a planned 34-story luxury residential tower set to open in 2019.

It's one of three towers planned for the site, which will boast 47 condos and 167 rental apartments.

It's part of a massive Riverside Center redevelopment plan, which is expected to bring five residential towers to the area.

The complex is expected to hold 2,500 apartments, 140,000 square feet of retail space, an elementary school and a hotel, according to the website Curbed.com.

NFL reviewing incident between Redskins WR Terrelle Pryor and a Chiefs fan

Washington Redskins Scott Polacek Mark Tenally/Associated Press Twitter Logo Featured Columnist
The NFL is reportedly reviewing an altercation between Washington wide receiver Terrelle Pryor and a fan at Arrowhead Stadium from Monday's 29-20 Kansas City Chiefs victory.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the news, noting the league is "reviewing all aspects" of the exchange, "including what took place in [the] stands."

This comes after Pryor said in an Instagram Stories post Wednesday night the fan called him "a n----r" and that he had been called the N-word multiple times by fans throughout the game. Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan shared Pryor's comments (warning: NSFW language), which noted an NFL employee had to stand by him after the racial slurs started.

TMZ Sports passed along footage on its YouTube page (warning: NSFW language) that revealed Pryor raised his middle finger at a fan.

Pryor apologized to his teammates and the Washington organization in his post but acknowledged interactions like the one he had are why some NFL players have elected to protest racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem.

On the field, Pryor finished with three catches for 70 yards and a touchdown-his first as a member of Washington. However, a field goal by Harrison Butker and last-second defensive touchdown by Justin Houston sealed the win for the Chiefs.

The Las Vegas gunman behind the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history spent decades stockpiling guns and living a "secret life" and may have planned other attacks, including a car bombing, a U.S. official said Thursday.

Clark County, Nev., Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said Wednesday that it was only logical to "make the assumption" that Stephen Paddock had "some help at some point" in pulling off Sunday's massacre.

As evidence, Lombardo pointed to gunman Paddock's huge arsenal, explosive materials found in his car and his meticulous planning.

"What we know is Stephen Paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo and living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood," the sheriff said.

Authorities also revealed that they believe Paddock had an escape plan, even though he turned the gun on himself as police closed in on his luxury suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Paddock killed 58 people and injured hundreds in the attack as he fired from his room on the 32nd floor.

Authorities are still searching for a motive.
LAS VEGAS GUNMAN TARGETED AVIATION FUEL TANKS DURING SHOOTING SPREE, REPORT SAYS
"Anything that would indicate this individual's trigger point, that would cause him to do such harm, we haven't understood it yet," Lombardo told reporters Wednesday. "Don't you think the concealment of his history of his life was well thought out?"

Analyzing Paddock's computer, cellphone and other electronic devices, investigators have found no obvious ideological motive, no clear connection to extremists or activist groups or outward display of mental illness, the Associated Press reported.

An Australian man who claimed he met Paddock several times in the Philippines said the shooter was "extremely intelligent, methodical, conservative -- guarded -- and strategic. A planning, thinking type of guy."

The man, who spoke to The Guardian on condition of anonymity from his Brisbane home, said the encounters came through their respective girlfriends, both Philippine-born sisters, who had family reunions.

He said he and Paddock had "robust" discussions about American gun laws and said Paddock mentioned a "gun room" during one stay in his home in Mesquite, Nev.

"His comments were that it's a substantial hobby that needs to be protected: 'a gun room'," the man told The Guardian.

The materials found in Paddock's car -- 1,600 rounds of ammunition, fertilizer that could be used to make explosives and 50 pounds of the explosive substance Tannerite -- may have led authorities to believe the Paddock was possibly planning a car bombing.

Authorities also revealed that the weekend before the shooting, Paddock had rented a high-rise condo in a building that overlooked the Life is Beautiful alternative music festival featuring Chance the Rapper, Muse, Lorde and Blink-182. Lombardo offered no other details on what led Paddock there.

Paddock also rented a room in August at Chicago's downtown Blackstone Hotel, but never checked in. The hotel overlooks Grant Park where the Lollapalooza festival is held each year with hundreds of thousands of people in attendance.

Eric Paddock called his 64-year-old brother a "private guy." As for what triggered the massacre, Eric Paddock said, "Something happened that drove him into the pit of hell."

Marilou Danley, Paddock's girlfriend, returned to the U.S. from the Philippines on Tuesday and was interviewed Wednesday by FBI agents in Los Angeles.

The 62-year-old said in a statement read by her lawyer that Paddock had sent her to see family in her native Philippines weeks earlier, and she was still overseas at the time of the attack. She said he wired her money so she could buy a house for her family, and she was initially pleased but later feared it was a way to break up with her.
FULL COVERAGE: THE MASSACRE IN LAS VEGAS
Paddock led such a low-key, private life that no one seemed to know him well, and those who did had no sense he was capable of the violence.

Where other mass killers have left behind a trail of plain-sight clues that help investigators quickly understand what drove them to violence, Paddock had nearly no close friends, social media presence or other clear connections to the broader world.

Even the No. 2 official in the FBI said Wednesday he was surprised investigators have not uncovered more about why a man with no obvious criminal record would cause so much bloodshed.

"There's all kinds of things that surprise us in each one of these events. That's the one in this one, and we are not there yet," FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said. "We have a lot of work to do."

They wonder if he had some sort of mental break at the time that drove him to start making plans for mass murder.

Authorities were looking for hints in the details of the kind of life he lived, and the kind of victims and venue he targeted, said David Gomez, a former FBI national security and criminal profiler.

"We may never know to 100 percent certainty," he said. "But they will find out."

Las Vegas police said there was evidence gunman Stephen Paddock intended to survive and escape his deadly attack at a country music festival on Sunday, and revealed that he also rented an apartment overlooking another music festival that took place in the city the previous weekend.

The disclosures were among several new details revealed by Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, who also strayed into speculation that the man believed responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history had help.

"Do you think this was all accomplished on his own?" Lombardo asked, noting the arsenal of weapons the shooter amassed, and the discovery of explosives in his car. He added: "You've got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point."

He said that that the suspected killer, a 64-year-old retiree and gambler, rented a luxury room through Airbnb overlooking the Life is Beautiful music festival, another Las Vegas festival which occurred the week before the Route 91 Harvest music festival he eventually targeted.

Lombardo also said he had seen evidence that Paddock may have intended to survive his killing spree from the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, which he used as a base for the attack. The sheriff did not say what the evidence was.

The remarks were made at press conference that raised as many questions as it answered and suggested that, 72 hours after the attack, after extensively interviewing Paddock's girlfriend, Marilou Danley, and examining his computers, investigators remain genuinely baffled about his motives.

Paddock's killing spree resulted in 58 victims and injured at least 489 people. The updated casualty numbers were the most recent given by authorities on Wednesday night.

Lombardo had previously said law enforcement believed Paddock had perpetrated "a solo act". But on Wednesday, he appeared to change his position. His speculation about the possibility Paddock was aided came after an exchange in which he conceded investigators had not been able to identify any "person of interest" other than Danley.

He said investigators were, however, pressing to find others who may have been involved. It was possible that Paddock was "a super guy" who was "working out all of this on his own", Lombardo said. But he added: "It would be hard for me to believe that."

The comment appeared to earn a veiled rebuke from the agent overseeing the FBI's investigation.

"Theories are great and everyone can have a theory," said Aaron Rouse, who runs the bureau's Las Vegas division, and took to the lectern immediately after the sheriff's comments. "But I need to deal with facts. The sheriff needs to deal with facts." He added: "He's not going to make assumptions. I'm not going to make assumptions."

Rouse said the FBI was working with "a number of theories", but was not prepared to publicize them. Rouse was considerably more cautious in his remarks than the sheriff, refusing to reveal what Danley said after she returned to the US Wednesday from the Philippines to be questioned by agents. The FBI agent declined even to say whether Danley remains "a person of interest".

Danley, 62, released a statement after being interviewed by FBI agents, saying she had no idea of the massacre her partner was plotting when he sent her abroad to be with her family.

"It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone," she said in a statement read out by her lawyer. "He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen."

Lombardo, in another surprising remark, appeared to cast doubt over those comments when he said at the press conference: "Any person put in her situation would probably answer in the same way."

In addition to the sheriff's speculation, there were also a handful of previously undisclosed facts revealed at the press conference, including new details about events in the days and hours leading up to the shooting.

Lombardo said that Paddock had reserved a room via Airbnb at the Ogden luxury apartment complex, which overlooked the site of the Life is Beautiful festival, an event over the previous weekend that featured acts such as Gorillaz and Lorde. The sheriff did not say when the room was booked, and said he did not know "what was in his mind".

"Was he doing pre-surveillance?" he said. "We don't know yet."

Lombardo also revealed the crucial role played by a security guard, who helped locate Paddock, on the 32nd floor, just over 10 minutes after he began shooting at concertgoers. Paddock, who had set-up multiple cameras outside his room, to monitor the corridor, shot as many as 200 rounds through the door, injuring the guard.

Swat teams did not penetrate the hotel suite Paddock was using for another hour, but Lombardo stressed that there were no unintended delays. "It was purposeful," he said, explaining that police decided to take their time to clear surrounding rooms of guests when they realized Paddock had stopped firing.

Upon entering the room, they discovered Paddock had killed himself. Lombardo also said they discovered several containers of explosives and 1,600 rounds of additional ammunition in his car.

Lombardo described Paddock, who he revealed was gambling at the casino hours before the attack, as a "disturbed and dangerous" man who had apparently led a "secret life" that left few clues about his actions.

He confirmed that investigators were exploring whether there was some incident in October 2016 that would explain why, in the year that followed, he purchased some 33 new weapons.

But he left gave the impression that Las Vegas and the FBI have been left flummoxed by the case, saying Paddock did not appear to conform to the profile of other mass murderers. "We haven't understood it yet," he said. "You have to be patient with us."

Authorities in Texas said Wednesday that they are seeking an 18-year-old who allegedly sucker-punched someone from behind in an incident that was caught on a closed-circuit camera.

Authorities in Texas said Wednesday that they are seeking an 18-year-old who allegedly sucker-punched someone from behind in an incident that was caught on a closed-circuit camera.

Alejandro Maldonado, 18, is wanted by Rosenberg police. Authorities reportedly called the punch callous and cruel. Maldonado was reportedly set to turn himself in, but communication with police has since been lost.

Lt. Chad Pino told Houston's KRTK-TV that the assault was a serious offense and the victim spent several nights in a hospital.

"You think it's a game, your friends might peer-pressure you into doing something, and it's a serious offense, it's a felony, it's an aggravated assault," he said. "In this case, he sustained some serious injuries, and it's not a game. It's not going to be funny when you're in prison."

Rosenberg is outside Houston.

The video is brutal. The man in the video runs up from behind the victim and cocks back and unloads a right hook on the right side of the victim's face. The victim's hat falls off his head and he face-plants on the sidewalk.

Several men are seen in the video, but none offers aid to the victim, who stayed down.

I don't think it's "funny" to be a female and talk about routes. I think it's my job.

USA Today's Lindsay Jones underscored why Newton was so far off the mark:

While the NFL is a male-dominated league in terms of those who run teams and work on coaching staffs, that couldn't be further from the truth in terms of NFL fans, with women making up 45 percent of those who watch the game.

The idea that a woman, especially an NFL beat writer, doesn't understand the nuances of the game should be a relic of the past.

Thousands are rushing to buy bump stocks before they are restricted by congress. They will most likely be bought and hidden before the government makes them illegal.  The bump stock wraps around the trigger of a rifle and when a round is fired ¨bumps¨ the trigger back into the shooters trigger finger, allowing automatic fire on a semi-automatic weapon.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Retailers and manufacturers are seeing an apparent surge in interest in so-called bump stocks as Congress eyes a possible crackdown on the type of device allegedly used by the Las Vegas shooter.

Slide Fire, which makes bump stocks, announced on its website it is suspending new orders, with a message indicating the company's supply is low. Another site that sells the company's products said in a message online that the device is "out of stock" and backordered.

Bump stocks reportedly have stopped being offered by retailers like Cabela's as well, at least for now.

This comes as Republicans and Democrats alike discuss the possibility of banning the products.

The devices can be used to effectively convert semi-automatic rifles to fire so rapidly as to simulate an automatic weapon. The devices were found on guns used by Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, who killed 59 and injured hundreds Sunday night.

Bump stocks are legal and originally were intended to help people with limited hand mobility fire a semi-automatic without the individual trigger pulls required. They can fit over the rear shoulder-stock assembly on an automatic rifle and with applied pressure cause the weapon to fire continuously, increasing the rate from between 45 and 60 rounds per minute to between 400 and 800 rounds per minute, according to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office.

Feinstein, a prominent advocate for gun control, already has legislation to ban bump stocks.

But unlike most other gun debates, some Republicans are joining Democrats in eyeing new regulations.

Fox News has learned that Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., is writing a bipartisan bill to ban bump stocks.

White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway, speaking Thursday on "Fox & Friends" indicated a willingness to consider restrictions.

"We always welcome a thoughtful conversation on policy and issues. The Second Amendment is a bedrock in our Constitution along with the First Amendment. These rights must be protected," she said. "But ... I know this is something that many legislators have been telling us and I read publicly that they have never even heard of the device before. And they are in Congress. So, many of them are open to a conversation."

She also referenced the fact that the Obama administration's ATF gave its seal of approval to selling the devices in 2010 after concluding that they did not violate federal law: "This is a device that President Obama's ATF decided would not be regulated in 2010."

When asked about the devices on Thursday, Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., told "Fox & Friends": "That's something we're going to look at."

Even the Senate's No. 2 Republican, John Cornyn of Texas, opened the door to new restrictions.

"If somebody can essentially convert a semi-automatic weapon by buying one of these and utilizing it and cause the kind of mayhem and mass casualties that we saw in Las Vegas, that's something of obvious concern that we ought to explore," Cornyn told reporters.

"I own a lot of guns and as a hunter and sportsman I think that's our right as Americans, but I don't understand the use of this bump stock and that's another reason to have a hearing."

Republicans have generally opposed almost all forms of gun regulations, and are unlikely to go beyond bump stocks. And it remains unclear whether the appetite for banning bump stocks will result in successful legislation.

Asked Tuesday about "bump stocks" and whether they should be legal, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said it was not an appropriate time to be discussing legislation.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., made similar comments Wednesday in a radio interview on WISN in Milwaukee.
Fox News' Chad Pergram and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ajit Pai, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, urged Apple to activate the FM radio chips included in its iPhones to "allow Americans to get vital access to life-saving information."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Trump's top telecommunications official is calling on Apple to take a step to boost public safety in natural disasters.

Ajit Pai, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, urged Apple to activate the FM radio chips included in its iPhones to "allow Americans to get vital access to life-saving information."

When cell service goes down, as is currently the case in much of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, a phone may still be able to pick up the FM signal, if the chip is activated.

"Apple is the one major phone manufacturer that has resisted doing so. But I hope the company will reconsider its position, given the devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria," Pai said in a statement.

The FCC chairman then quoted an editorial from a Florida publication calling out Apple CEO Tim Cook by name after Hurricane Irma rammed through the state. "As the Sun Sentinel of South Florida put it, 'Do the right thing, Mr. Cook. Flip the switch. Lives depend on it.'"

In response, Apple said its most recent iPhone models do not have that option.

"iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 models do not have FM radio chips in them nor do they have antennas designed to support FM signals, so it is not possible to enable FM reception in these products," Apple said in a statement.

However, Apple did not say why it wouldn't consider activating chips in older iPhone models.

"There's no reason from a technology point of view not to do it," says Jeff Kagan, a telecom industry analyst. Critics suggest that Apple does not want to undermine its own streaming service by activating the FM chip.

"Apple cares deeply about the safety of our users, especially during times of crisis and that's why we have engineered modern safety solutions into our products," Apple said in its statement.

Pai's comments on Apple come just days after the FCC was criticized for not doing enough to respond to the crisis in Puerto Rico and the recent hurricanes in Texas and Florida.
