Man, 75, trapped in car for over 13 hours! The car was out of power and had electric windows, horn, and most importantly, the door opens using electricity

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 75-year-old Cleveland man had a harrowing experience last month when his car's electrical system conked out and he was trapped inside for over 13 hours, unaware that he could've freed himself within seconds.

Peter Pyros got into the 2006 Cadillac XLR that was parked in his garage on Aug. 31, but found that it was dead when he tried to start it.

Instead of a lever, the XLR has an electronic push button door release which didn't work without power. Neither did the windows, roof or horn.

Pyros told Fox 8 that he tried to kick out the window, but didn't have any luck. He also didn't bring his cellphone with him, so all he could do is scream for help as the temperature inside the car started to rise.

"Hot is not the word. Hot is not the word. I felt like I was in hell," Pyros said.

He continued to yell and pound, according to USA Today, and said he passed out twice from exhaustion.

At one point, he wrote a note to family explaining what happened so they wouldn't think he committed suicide.

The owners manual wasn't in the car, so he didn't know if there was anything else he could do. If it were, he may not have found himself in such an ordeal.

Anticipating this possibility, the XLR has a well-marked manual door release lever located on the floor next to the seat, but Pyros didn't know it was there. If he had, a simple pull would've freed him.

A General Motors spokesman told Fox 8 "First, I am glad the gentleman is OK. Any vehicle or key fob can lose power unexpectedly, so please urge your viewers to review the power lock section of their owners manual so they will know what to do if this occurs."

Fortunately for Pyros, his neighbors eventually heard the noises he was making and noticed that the garage door was open and the lights on late in the evening, so one hopped the fence to investigate and found him in the car.

They called the fire department, who managed to jump-start the car and get the door opened without damaging the vehicle.

The incident was similar to one that took the lives of 72-year-old Texan James Rogers and his dog in 2015, when they got stuck in a Corvette that uses the same type of door mechanism as the XLR.

Pyros has retained an attorney and is considering taking legal action against GM.

More than a thousand people came to James Ransom's funeral. His parents, Greg and Courtney, and his sisters, Julia and Lillie, were in attendance, each one imbued with a sorrow that crashed like waves. James' buddies were there; some wore bright yellow sneakers and ties-an homage to James' love of SpongeBob SquarePants. His elementary and middle school teachers, his football teammates and coaches, his neighbors and other members of the community all came. Row by row, they packed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Mission Viejo, California, full of grief, full of love.

"He never knew how many lives he touched," Lillie says. "He never knew how many people loved him, how many people needed him."

Giant poster boards bearing James' face were sprinkled throughout the church. Greg made them. He had been too devastated to put them together at first, but Courtney nudged him to do it. He found joy in the process, however-combing through the albums, picking the photos he liked best, seeing his son's doughy cheeks. His son in his football uniform, swallowed by giant shoulder pads, proudly clutching a football. His son dressed up as Harry Potter for Halloween. His son and wife rolling their top lips over, making funny faces.

A pianist began to play, and Lillie took the podium to sing "For Good" from Wicked. She was scared, staring at the casket in front of her, but she loved to sing and James was her No. 1 supporter. He used to come to her plays and whisper to their mom: "Lillie's got the best voice in here! They shouldn't let anybody sing but her!"

Lillie took a deep breath and let the rhythm take her:

There was not a dry eye in the church. A woman in the first row buried her head into the neck of the man next to her as tears streamed down her cheek. Greg and Courtney cried. They had seen their son go from a kid with a playful personality who loved what many young kids love-football, family, friends-to a kid who struggled with mental illness and ultimately took his life. The change was swift and drastic-it happened in just over a year's time. Those who knew James are still searching for answers.

The Ransoms live on a street full of kids. About 40 of them. The trees are green, and the lawns are immaculately trimmed. There are American flags and basketball hoops. Wide pavement to play in the hot sun. The cream-colored two-story houses start to look the same. A nearby cafe, Lola's, serves muffins that ooze fresh blueberries on first bite.

Ladera Ranch, about 10 miles east of Laguna Beach, is full of families with kids who play sports, and those families watch those kids play sports and become close with other families with kids who play sports. Both Greg and Courtney grew up around football-the former in Richland, Washington, and the latter Glendale, a suburb of Los Angeles. Greg played tackle football, beginning in the ninth grade. Courtney enjoyed watching youth football as a young girl. Her father played quarterback in high school and her high school boyfriend was a punter.

James loved football. He began playing tackle at age nine. (Kids are allowed to play tackle as young as five in Santa Margarita Pop Warner.) He was a natural lineman-big and strong and skilled. He started on offense and defense and liked blocking and being depended on. When he was 12, James joined the Stallions, and in a year's time he became known as one of the toughest kids on his team. Players went one-on-one in practice, and whoever knocked the other kid off stayed. He hit hard and he got hit hard, too.

"My son would often go head to head, repeatedly," Greg says. "Who knows how many times they were hitting each other like that?"

September 12, 2015, was a normal Saturday by most measures. A weekend day on the gridiron at West Covina High School. The Stallions were playing the West Covina Bulldogs. Courtney was not at the game. Greg, the Stallions' team manager, was on the sideline monitoring substitutions.

He didn't see it when it happened. He only heard what happened from James after the game. The game had gotten chippy, and during one play an opposing player hit James on the side of his head. James later said the player was dirty-intentionally so. Parents in attendance couldn't say for sure. Either way, James shook it off and continued to play. He was not taken off the field-maybe because nothing seemed out of the ordinary. According to Pop Warner, America's largest and oldest youth football organization, Santa Margarita officials "have no memory or record of an injury so they are unable to describe it."

James didn't say anything about the hit to anyone during the game. His reasons for doing so the Ransoms can now only speculate. He may not have had the awareness, as a 12-year-old, in his moment of distress, to think that he might have had a concussion. He may not have even understood what a concussion was.

Even if he did register that he had a concussion, he had learned from his coaches that playing through pain was part of the game. "Toughness" was something his coaches preached. According to Greg, there was a "culture of yelling" that James' coaches adhered to-even if players cried. (Jason Wegis, the Stallions' head coach, did not return requests for comment. Stan Bennett, the line coach, declined to comment.) The culture was familiar to Greg from his playing days; he and his friends feared their coach, who was allegedly known to throw helmets at players.

After the game, on the way home, Greg noticed blood on James' ear. The lobe was smashed and the skin had an abrasion. Later that night, James told Greg he had his "bell rung." He also told his father it wasn't the first time something like this had happened. "Oh, I've gotten my bell rung before," James said.

"What?" Greg asked. "What do you mean?"

"I've had my bell rung before," James replied, nonchalantly, as if it was as common as running a route or completing a pass. "I've been hit so hard I've seen stars before."

James practiced on Monday, but on Tuesday he began to feel nausea and dizziness during drills. His parents took him to a pediatrician, who diagnosed James with a concussion, clinically known as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). He was told to sit out for a week. A few days later, on Saturday, James and Greg went to see the Stallions play from the sidelines. Afterward, they watched the BYU-UCLA football game on television. But when James went to a concussion specialist the following week, he had no recollection of watching the Stallions or UCLA games.

Another specialist later on found James to have lost a substantial amount of his short-term visual geometric memory. During one test, he was shown rectangles and squares, which were then taken away. A few seconds later, he was asked to draw what he just saw. He couldn't remember the shapes.

There were other changes, like balance and vision. He couldn't stand on one foot without falling over. He had severe nausea within five to 10 minutes of attempting schoolwork, as his eyes struggled to track objects. His right eye and left eye struggled to work together; he was diagnosed with a third-nerve palsy and convergence issues. He was found to have lost a quarter of his visual spectrum and was given corrective glasses.

Within two to three weeks of his brain injury, James began exhibiting signs of intense obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was consumed with ensuring the battery on his phone was always 100 percent charged, with making sure the software on his tablet was always updated. He made sure doors were always locked. Courtney says James liked structure and had always been a perfectionist-he cried because he scored a 98 on a test at age eight-but after his brain injury, his behavior was different. "He was doing things he had never done before," Courtney says. "It was disturbing."

James wasn't just smart; he was curious. "He thought very deeply about things," says Paul Conover, the bishop at the family's church. James knew two coding languages and was learning a third. He was interested in math and history, especially the Constitution. He took to philosophy. "He was brilliant," Meredith Ritner, an English instructor who taught James in the eighth grade, recalls.

Though James was accustomed to "A" grades, he struggled to complete schoolwork after the injury. His teachers allowed him to not turn in work while he was recovering-James had a doctor's note-but when "zeros" showed up on James' academic profile on School Loop, Ladera Ranch Middle School's online portal, he got frustrated. (The zeros were temporary.)

"He felt as though he were a failure," says Tom Bogiatzis, school counselor at Ladera Ranch Middle School. "He'd say, 'I'm not going to be successful. I'm not going to be good at anything.'"

James felt like he was falling behind and that his life was over. He became irritable, angry and aggressive, grabbing his father's neck on more than one occasion. He'd randomly chatter his teeth or throw himself on the ground and make strange noises. Sometimes his eyes rolled back uncontrollably. None of this was behavior he'd exhibited prior to his brain injury.

Before the concussion, he had been gentle. He was affectionate and had a sweet disposition. He rescued animals, like Rosie the beagle. One time, he found and returned a neighbor's lost dog. "He was the kind of brother that would give you a big bear hug," says Julia, 17.

But afterward, James grew meaner, shrewder. "This wasn't the gentle kid that I knew," Courtney says. He yearned for isolation, despite the fact that, previously, he had never really liked being alone. He told Lillie, whom he used to spend hours playing Minecraft with, to leave him alone.

The Ransoms were terrified. They couldn't understand what was happening to their child. Let alone understand how to help him. "As a parent, dealing with this, you have no idea what's going on," Greg says. They went from appointment to appointment, seeing neurologists, pediatricians, concussion specialists, psychologists, ophthalmologists, vision therapists, physical therapists, desperate for answers, for relief. But James was still suffering.

Once, he and Courtney were standing on the pavement outside their house, about to get in Courtney's car, when James just began to walk the other direction. "James. Where are you going?" she called after him. "James!" He didn't answer. His mother's words flew right past him. He kept walking down the sidewalk, his body looking like a silhouette under the Southern California sun.

Dr. Bennet Omalu published the first evidence of CTE, or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease found in people with a history of repetitive brain trauma, in 2005. By the time of James' injury, in 2015, the term "CTE" was only just starting to matriculate into the public lexicon. (The movie Concussion detailing Dr. Omalu's story was released that year.) Like many parents at the time, Greg and Courtney knew little about CTE. "We didn't even think of it," Greg says. "We didn't think of it at all."

The disease seemed to them like something that was diagnosed in older men, men who had played in the NFL. Former San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau had been diagnosed with CTE in 2013, less than a year after he took his life.

A landmark study by Dr. Ann McKee, a neuropathologist, published by the American Medical Association in July 2017, found that the incidence of CTE was markedly higher in football players than the general population. Of 202 football players, 177 had CTE. (Of the 111 NFL players included in the study, 110 had CTE.) Since, the disease has been found in cases of football players as young as 17 and 14. Recently, Tyler Hilinski, the former quarterback at Washington State who died by suicide in January, was posthumously found to have had CTE.

The Ransoms never thought about CTE in relation to their eighth grade son. There was no way to know whether James had it, because the disease can only be diagnosed after death through brain tissue analysis. But he had been diagnosed with a concussion-a traumatic brain injury-and his behavior was growing more worrisome by the day.

One afternoon in October 2015, about a month after James' brain injury, Courtney walked into his room. She saw him lying on his white comforter, head pressed against his white pillow, arms folded across his stomach, eyes staring at the ceiling. The family cat, Meg, lay at his feet.

"It's OK, Buddy. You are going to be OK," she said. "We are going to be able to work this out."

"I don't think so," he said, turning to her, looking her in the eye. Courtney felt a chill. She says she knew in that moment, in the way mothers know things, that her son wanted to take his life.

In late December, Courtney caught him trying to take his life. It wasn't the first time he had done so, however, he would later admit; he had tried to on another occasion unbeknownst to the family. More erratic behavior ensued. In early January, he bolted out of the house, running past six houses and up a hill at the end of the block. Lillie chased after him. When she caught him, he told her they should run away.

The next day, Greg and Courtney took James to nearby UC Irvine's Emergency Room, and he was admitted to its neuropsychiatric unit. He stayed there, sometimes with one-on-one supervision, for the duration of the month. When James was discharged, Greg and Courtney still worried. Each day they thought, Today, we have to keep him alive. We just have to keep him alive. Sometimes Courtney would fall asleep on the stairs, staying near his room to make sure she didn't lose sight of him.

They drove James to more appointments, more specialists. Determined, devastated, hopeful, afraid. All the time. At any moment they feared their son could try to take his life again, right then, wherever they were. They continued to try to find a treatment. They were willing to give anything-their eyes, their arms, their legs-if that meant it would keep him alive. "I was trying to get through to him," Greg says. "I was trying to tell him: 'We love you. You don't have to do this.'"

What, exactly, was going on inside James' head? Concussions are known to produce emotional distress. Common symptoms include anger, denial, depression, shock, guilt, paranoia and impaired judgment. A 2014 study found that adolescents who suffered concussions and other traumatic brain injuries are "significantly more likely" to try to kill themselves. In 2016, researchers found that concussions-among other brain injuries-significantly increased the long-term risk of suicide among adults. In 2017, a medical study from Boston University found that those who played youth tackle before the age of 12 were twice as likely to develop mood and behavioral problems and three times more likely to develop depression in middle age.

The brain doesn't mature until mid-20s in terms of its physiology and basic biology, as major changes continue to occur through puberty and late adolescence to early adulthood. Blows to the head during that time (and beyond) can alter physical, cognitive and emotional development, according to Dr. Erin D. Bigler, a professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neuroscience at BYU. He has studied concussions for over 40 years.

"You're putting the brain at risk every moment that you're on the field and in practice," Bigler says, "and that is ultimately damaging the brain." The amygdala and hippocampus, both part of the temporal lobe, are critical for emotional processing and memory. Bigler says those two areas are extremely vulnerable to the effects of concussions.

What those effects are, and how they manifest, is different for each kid, given each kid's genetic background and medical history. James' changes included vision, balance, impulse control and suicidal ideation, but another kid might experience other changes, like depression or anxiety. Some may not even know they are experiencing changes at all-not until later in life. Or ever. Still, those changes may be happening.

But what about the smaller hits that James said he had also taken-the times in which he got his "bell rung" but there was no concussion diagnosis? How much do those undiagnosed-sometimes smaller-hits impact brain function?

"The problem is, is that we don't have real, good, quantitative, physiological evidence about what's happening (in the brain) with a 'bell rung,'" says Dr. James Hicks, a professor at UC Irvine, who co-authored a pioneering study about concussions in water polo. "Those are the kind of hits you might take a lot of and not really think about them."

Whether it was a small hit, big hit, a culmination of hits or some other factor that resulted in James' mood swings is not easily discernible. All his parents knew was that the boy they raised-the one who used to hold his mother's hand, who used to scream "I LOOOOOVEEE YOUUUU" to Lillie in the hallway between classes-was suffering.

A few months after he was released from the neuropsychiatric ward, James seemed to be doing better. He was managing his OCD using techniques he had acquired. He liked his psychiatrist. He was enjoying his personal training sessions, which he had three times a week, feeling active again. He traveled to Washington with his dad. He still had moments of extreme impulsivity, anxiety and erratic behavior, but seemed optimistic about the future.

In August, James returned to Ladera Ranch Middle School to start eighth grade. He did well academically. His third-eye palsy seemed to be healing, though his balance was still off. He had a lot of friends. He was 13 and sprouted a foot taller. Girls liked him. Ritner identified him as a potential Student of the Year Award winner. "Everything's going to be fine," Lillie thought. "He's going to get through this."

But Greg and Courtney were still fearful. They could not let their guard down, not with life and death always in the back of their minds.

The family traveled to Hawaii for Thanksgiving vacation in November. Sometimes James was happy; he laughed, tried to learn how to surf. Other times, he exhibited worrisome behavior. Once, he walked out of the hotel to the balcony and stood there for a while, looking down, a few floors below, in a contemplative state. Courtney, distressed by her son's actions, couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking of jumping.

A few days after returning home, James was back at school, standing with a bunch of students at lunch. A boy in a special-needs class approached him and reached for his chest. But before the boy could make contact, James swatted him away and hit him. The two tussled before teachers stepped in. James was sent to the principal's office, so upset with himself because he was not a fighter. He had never been sent to the principal's office before.

He tried to dust it off, channel his energy. He went to Taekwondo with his neighbor and good friend William the next night, as he had begun to engage in light physical activity. James was in good spirits, having received the paper he needed to test for his next belt, yellow. He and William laughed in the car, as they always did, on the way home while playing Bop It. James talked about wanting to surf again.

A few hours later, James was talking with his mother about the incident at school the day before. She told him the kid who approached him was probably jealous of him and that James should act with kindness toward him. James agreed: "He probably is jealous of me." Courtney asked him why. James said: "Because I am smart, funny and people like me."

Later that night, James came downstairs to talk to his mom again, asking about her work, her upcoming projects. He went upstairs to go to bed but then came down again pretty quickly. He said he needed a glass of water. Courtney reminded him to take his medication and his melatonin, so he could get his sleeping schedule back on track. He nodded his head, finishing his glass.

"Goodnight," she said. "I love you."

"I love you, too."

James went upstairs and never came back down.

When you walk into the Ransoms' house, past the green door with a wreath of lavender and green hydrangeas, a tiny angel in the middle, the first thing you notice is photos of James. On the walls. On top of a cabinet. Downstairs. Upstairs. With his sisters. With his parents. With his friends. Smiling in all of them.

"I see him everywhere. I want him everywhere," says Courtney.

It's been nearly two years since James took his life on November 30, 2016. The pain does not lessen as each day passes. "He was just a little boy," Greg says. A tear drops down his cheek. "And now he's gone."

Sometimes, Greg and Courtney replay every moment in their heads, from the hit to everything that came after. They've talked to the parents of James' teammates about what happened on the field. They've spoken with the Stallions' coaches. They've combed through James' account of what happened, wondering what might have been.

It is unclear if any athletic trainers or board-certified physicians were present on that fateful day. "What we are told is that Santa Margarita has at least two CPR / First Aid certified coaches," Brian Heffron, a spokesperson for Pop Warner, wrote in an email. "No one has a memory of the specifics of that game."

Youth sports organizations are not required under state law to report games in which an athletic trainer or board-certified physician is present, so it is unknown how many are typically present at youth games. Two months before James' death, the California legislature passed AB 2007, which required mandatory concussion protocols be followed-including, among other things, the removal of players suspected to have a concussion and that coaches or administrators complete head injury training. (It went into effect January 2017.) And just days before James took his life, Pop Warner launched a "concussion education campaign" and implemented safety measures-such as reducing contact in practice to 25 percent and requiring any player who suffers a suspected head injury to receive medical clearance from a concussion specialist before returning to play. (It is unclear what 25 percent constitutes, or what "suspected" means, or how the protocol is enforced.)

The Ransoms have not brought legal action against the Stallions, Santa Margarita Pop Warner, Pop Warner or the player who hit James. (Pop Warner is currently being sued in a class-action lawsuit for failing to institute safety protocols. The lawsuit is not related to James' death.)

Greg and Courtney have not seen footage, nor have they been able to retrieve it. Pop Warner did not make video footage available upon request. In a statement, Pop Warner wrote: "The loss of a child is heartbreaking and it's hard to imagine the pain the Ransom family has experienced. Our hearts go out to them.

"While football is a very physical sport we have worked hard to make the game safer for young people by instituting major rule changes, including limiting contact in practice, better training for coaches and education for parents and players. Pop Warner's concussion rule, which has been in place since 2010, requires any participant removed from play due to a head injury or suspected concussion to be evaluated and cleared in writing by a currently licensed medical professional trained in the evaluation and management of concussions before they return to play. During games, the home team must provide medical coverage. In the absence of a physician or ambulance on site, the team is required to supply an individual who is EMT qualified or certified in Red Cross Community First Aid and Safety."

The Ransoms have hungered to understand the science behind their son's apparent behavioral changes. But they have not had James' brain studied since his death, so they do not know whether James had CTE. At the time of his death, they didn't think about having his brain studied. It wasn't on their radar. Whether the Ransoms could, years later, still find out if James had CTE is unclear. "It depends on a lot of factors," Chris Nowinski, PhD, the co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, explained in an email. "People have been exhumed months after burial for a successful diagnosis."

The knowledge, the Ransoms insist, wouldn't serve any purpose for them.

"Nothing is going to bring James back," Courtney says.

Instead, the Ransoms have taken steps to educate themselves. Courtney pored through articles on the internet, reading blogs of families whose teens died from taking their own life. "After he died, I could not stop searching for answers," she says. Greg learned more about CTE, which led him to consider the effects of other brain trauma that hadn't resulted in CTE.

From Courtney's internet research, a pattern emerged: In many of the cases in which a teen took his or her life, there was a concussion. Many of the accounts seemed to be about young people who were just like James-people who were well-liked, performed well academically, lived "normal" lives that then took a drastic turn that resulted in death. Courtney then talked to other parents about their teenage sons who weren't, as Courtney says, "right," after some sort of concussion in football. She started to wonder if all of these things were connected.

Researchers in recent years have found that concussions can lead to mental illness and exacerbate symptoms or episodes of mental illness. Sometimes, it only takes a single head injury for mental illness to occur. Among teens, untreated concussions can lead to mental disorders. Not all teens who have suffered concussions develop mental illnesses. Some studies have shown that, for many athletes, mental effects resolve themselves over the long term. But a situation like James' is not out of the realm of possibility.

Though James' behavior changed following the traumatic brain injury suffered on September 12, 2015, the Ransoms will never know for sure what led to James' mental illness, but they want to help other families by telling his story. They have created the James Henry Ransom Foundation to raise money for other teens and adolescents and families struggling with mental illness.

Greg says he understands why people love the game of football and sees how their identities are wrapped up in it. He gets how this game has saved other people's and other families' lives-how it has provided a way out of poverty for some or offered a social connection for others, and how deeply meaningful that can be.

"It's not about being anti-football. We loved football. My son loved football," Greg says.

It's just that, "Football wasn't worth it," he adds.

Ultimately, James' story can help make parents more aware of the risks, Greg says. "If people knew what was happening to their kids, if they saw the bruises that accumulated on their legs, they'd be disturbed by it," Greg says. "But you don't see what's accumulating inside of a skull. You don't see it. ... It's an injury people can't see so they pretend it doesn't exist.

"Nobody thinks their son can die playing this game, which they can," Greg adds. "Even if my son hadn't died, we went through hell for a year. Just the awfulness of my son having to go through that. ... He didn't have to die for this to be awful."

Did One Hit Lead to a 13-Year-Old's Suicide?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
More than a thousand people came to James Ransom's funeral. His parents, Greg and Courtney, and his sisters, Julia and Lillie, were in attendance, each one imbued with a sorrow that crashed like waves. James' buddies were there; some wore bright yellow sneakers and ties-an homage to James' love of SpongeBob SquarePants.

In the past, Victoria's Secret has been called out for being non inclusive as most of their models have been shamed about their bodies to the extent of starving themselves and having their skin as light as possible to even have a chance to walk on the runway. In recent years, the company has been more inclusive racially. Last year seven Chinese models walked and this year the first Filipino angel has been cast as well as the care-free Vitiligo queen, Winnie Harlow... But when will the runway become size inclusive as well? The brand makes plus size clothing but has yet to give a curvy woman her angel wings.

More than 50 models have already been confirmed to walk in the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (location TBD), 18 of whom will spread their "wings" for the first time.

This weekend, it was revealed that Kelsey Meritt will become the first Filipino model to walk the runway, and Winnie Harlow, who didn't make the cut last year, will also make her debut.

"Thank you mommy for praying with me everyday for the past 3 days," Harlow wrote in an Instagram caption. "And thank you so much to my fans who have been pushing me forward to this point in my career."

Duckie Thot also shared her good news, writing, "This moment means the world. Always believe you can do anything."

Josie Canseco, Mayowa Nicholas, Sabah Koj, Willow Hand, Sofie Rovenstine, Isilda Moreira, Myrthe Bolt, Yasmin Wijnaldum, Cheyenne Maya, Mélie Tiacoh, Lesha Hodges, Lorena Rae, Maia Cotton, Sadie Newman, Kelsey Merritt and Alannah Walton make up the rest of the newbies.

This year's line-up is incredibly racially diverse, proving that Victoria's Secret's efforts to improve its inclusivity on the runway has paid off; in 2015, Maria Borges wore her natural hair in an afro instead of extensions; a year later saw a record number of Chinese models cast.

But, as with all previous years, no curve or plus-size models have earned a spot. Considering Victoria's Secret makes pieces up to size XL and bras as large as 40DDD, the brand clearly knows there is a market for the 67% of American women who are a US size 12 or larger.

When will its fashion show reflect that? We all know Ashley Graham would kill it in a set of wings...
Refinery29 has reached out to Victoria's Secret for comment and will update this story if/when they hear back.

Police arrest man accused of being active gunman at Los Angeles hospital

Police are responding to reports of a shooter at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Downey, California, in Los Angeles County, authorities said.

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving headlines the newest group of athletes to enroll in "Crossover Into Business," a Harvard Business School course created to help stars from the world of sports maximize their earning potential during and after their playing careers.

On Tuesday, Nicole Yang of Boston.com reported Irving is joined in the class by Denver Nuggets power forward Paul Millsap and former NFL tight end Martellus Bennett, among others. Longtime NBA forwards Chris Bosh and Caron Butler previously completed the program.

Irving has already started to broaden his appeal by taking his Uncle Drew character, which was developed for Pepsi commercials, mainstream with a featured film by the same name released this summer.

In June, Boston.com's Kevin Slane asked the 26-year-old Duke product about his interests away from the basketball court.

"I feel like if I had the same amount of time that I was afforded [for basketball] to learn about business and investments, I think I'd probably be in a pretty different place," he said. "You just gotta learn as best you can on your own time."

Taking a course at Harvard is a significant step in that process.

At the same time, Irving is working back from knee surgery that forced him to miss the latter stages of the 2017-18 season, including the playoffs.

Cougar apparently killed Oregon woman missing for nearly 2 weeks, investigators say

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Oregon woman who had been reported missing nearly two weeks ago was most likely killed by a cougar in an "unprecedented event," investigators revealed Tuesday.

The body of Diana Bober, 55, was found Monday off a trail in the Mt. Hood National Forest in Welches, about 40 miles southeast of Portland, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
OREGON WOMAN FINDS MOUNTAIN LION NAPPING IN HER HOME: 'THIS IS WILD'
The medical examiner's office determined that wounds found on Bober's body were "consistent with a suspected cougar attack," and ruled out the possibility that she was mauled after she died from a separate cause.

DNA samples will be flown by the Oregon State Police to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service laboratory for further analysis, officials said.

Bober's death by a cougar is the first recorded attack of its kind in Oregon state history, officials said.

Authorities previously said that Bober, an avid hiker from Gresham, was considered a missing person, and noted her car was found on Saturday.

"This is a terrible tragedy, and our sympathy goes out to Diana's family and friends," Brian Wolfer, of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said. "All of us at ODFW are thinking of you today."

The sheriff's office said Oregon has roughly 6,000 cougars - also commonly called mountain lions or pumas - throughout the state, and that ODFW "tracks conflicts" with the animals in situations where they kill non-wild animals or threaten humans.

"This is an unprecedented event in Oregon, we are asking people to avoid this area while we attempt to remove this cougar," Wolfer said. "We don't know what risk it poses to the public."

The area where Bober was killed has averaged 20 complaints about human safety per year, for the past 10 years, according to authorities.

A man from Cleveland was having difficulty getting his car to start. He climbed inside to see if the key would turn on the car, when he found out that the car had died and the door was unable to open. He was expecting to lose his life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 75-year-old Cleveland man had a harrowing experience last month when his car's electrical system conked out and he was trapped inside for over 13 hours, unaware that he could've freed himself within seconds.

Peter Pyros got into the 2006 Cadillac XLR that was parked in his garage on Aug. 31, but found that it was dead when he tried to start it.

Instead of a lever, the XLR has an electronic push button door release which didn't work without power. Neither did the windows, roof or horn.

Pyros told Fox 8 that he tried to kick out the window, but didn't have any luck. He also didn't bring his cellphone with him, so all he could do is scream for help as the temperature inside the car started to rise.

"Hot is not the word. Hot is not the word. I felt like I was in hell," Pyros said.

He continued to yell and pound, according to USA Today, and said he passed out twice from exhaustion.

At one point, he wrote a note to family explaining what happened so they wouldn't think he committed suicide.

The owners manual wasn't in the car, so he didn't know if there was anything else he could do. If it were, he may not have found himself in such an ordeal.

Anticipating this possibility, the XLR has a well-marked manual door release lever located on the floor next to the seat, but Pyros didn't know it was there. If he had, a simple pull would've freed him.

A General Motors spokesman told Fox 8 "First, I am glad the gentleman is OK. Any vehicle or key fob can lose power unexpectedly, so please urge your viewers to review the power lock section of their owners manual so they will know what to do if this occurs."

Fortunately for Pyros, his neighbors eventually heard the noises he was making and noticed that the garage door was open and the lights on late in the evening, so one hopped the fence to investigate and found him in the car.

They called the fire department, who managed to jump-start the car and get the door opened without damaging the vehicle.

The incident was similar to one that took the lives of 72-year-old Texan James Rogers and his dog in 2015, when they got stuck in a Corvette that uses the same type of door mechanism as the XLR.

Pyros has retained an attorney and is considering taking legal action against GM.

Washington state store clerk left to die by teen robbers and cops. The man had a heart attack and collapsed , instead of getting the man help ,teens decided to rob him instead. That man is now on life support fighting for his life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Washington convenience store clerk was on life support Tuesday after suffering a heart attack Saturday when he confronted two teen robbers that left him to die on the store's floor, authorities said.

The teens-- instead of calling 911 or rendering aid-- returned several times to steal cigarettes and empty the store's cash register of $178, Angela Sharapova, the store's manager, told KOMO-TV.

The clerk, identified as Zarif Kelada, collapsed during a confrontation with the two teens, Auburn police told Seattle's KOMO-TV.

"It's absolutely heartbreaking. And we're just all kind of coping with it - hoping that our guy's going to make it," Angela Sharapova, the store's manager, told the station.

The incident occured in Auburn, which is about 27 miles south of Seattle.

The Saturday evening incident began when an adult man walked in with two teens, police said. One of the teens took a pepperoni stick from the counter and starting eating it, then gave a second one to his friend, police said. Police have identified the man and two teens, Seattle's Q13Fox reported on Tuesday.

When the man tried to purchase a different item, police said the clerk tried to also charge him for the two pepperoni sticks. An argument broke out before one of the teenagers offered the clerk a dollar bill, police said. Kelada, a father of three, circled the counter to confront the teens.

Co-workers told the station that Kelada collapsed moments later after suffering a heart attack. Police called it a medical issue.

"I couldn't watch it the first time," Sharapova told Q13Fox. "I had to stop and walk away. It totally broke my heart."

Investigators said the adult man was not involved in the incident, the station reported.

"This is not something you see very often," Steve Stocker, Auburn Police commander, told Q13Fox. "It really shocks people and makes people wonder when people can be this cold to other people."

Another man who works at nearby food truck called 9-1-1 while several customers performed CPR, KOMO-TV reported.

"If you see someone like that, you know, you try to do as much help as you can," the man said.

Co-workers have set up a GoFundMe page to help Kelada with his medical bills.

Police have not yet released the adult man's name. It was not immediately clear if the man and two teens would be charged, according to Q13Fox.

Car bomb explodes in Iraq, Six dead.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Iraqi officials say a car bomb has exploded outside a restaurant north of Baghdad killing at least six people.

Iraq's Joint Operations Command says the explosives-laden car ignited Wednesday outside a restaurant on a highway near Beiji city.

Health Ministry spokesman Saif al-Badr said six people were killed and 42 wounded.

It was not immediately clear what the target was and no group immediately claimed responsibility.

Beiji, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of Baghdad, fell to the Islamic State group during its 2014 blitz across northern and western Iraq, and it was the scene of heavy fighting until it was taken back in 2015.

Despite its defeat, IS has been able to launch attacks in areas that were under their control in Iraq's north and west.

Coach at the Southern California High School game reports that team experienced racist comments from the crowd. The crowd asked for them to stop chanting "USA USA!"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Orange County high school principal claimed that his school's football team faced racist posters and chants on Friday during a game that was supposed to honor the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Jeff Bishop, the principal of Santa Ana High School, told The Los Angeles Times that his school's players faced insensitive signs that included, "Build the wall."

His school has a student body that is almost 99 percent Latino, the report said, and he claimed in a Facebook post that his team recieved a "racist welcome."

The Orange County Register reported that Bishop later acknowledged he could not clearly see some of the signs but said "there was something about Trump. That alone made me think, 'What is this, a football game or a political rally?"

Deni Christensen, the principal from Aliso Niguel, said two signs were removed, one that read, "We're going to Trump you," and "Bring back Obama." She said that they did not see the border wall sign.

Christensen told CBSLA that Bishop approached Aliso Niguel's sidelines after the first quarter and, "reported that his students and fans had seen the sign referencing President Trump before the game, and a sign that said "We love red, we love white, we love blue," along with our students arriving dressed in red, white and blue, and he felt that the entire atmosphere was inhospitable to his school and community."

Christensen posted late Monday on the school's Instagram account that she "reiterated regret over any perceived disrespect," but assistant principals were at the game and at no time witnessed any "overt racism." They reported a political banner that read, "Trump 2020," which was removed.

"I am deeply saddened that anyone could categorize our students or community as 'racist' and I have made that very clear. We have nothing but respect for Santa Ana high School, and all schools."

Aliso Niguel's student body is 56 percent white and about 19 percent Latino.

Bishop posted his concerns on Facebook after his school lost 42-21. Fox News reached out to Bishop on Facebook and did not immediately receive a comment.

Bishop told the Register that Aliso Niguel's fans chanted "USA! USA!" after their team scored its first touchdown.

"They're chanting 'USA' like it's a game against another country, like it's against Germany or against Mexico," Bishop told the paper.

Bishop reportedly threatened to pull the team off the field after halftime if the chanting continued.

"I told her 'You're playing Americans. You're playing 'Dreamers,' I don't understand the USA pride thing when you score. And if I hear it one more time, I am walking off the field with the team," he recalled to The Register.

He said on Facebook that the conversation appeared to help and the game "became more about football, athleticism and a healthy competition between two high school football teams."

dubbed storm of the year. storm has slowed down, but is expected to make landfall by the weekend. North Carolina can see up to 40 inches of rain from the category four storm.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hurricane Florence, dubbed the "storm of a lifetime" by the National Weather Service, has slowed dramatically overnight Wednesday and may not officially make landfall until the weekend. While this may lessen wind speeds by landfall, it could increase rainfall totals to as much as 40 inches in North Carolina.

Interested in Hurricane Florence?

Add Hurricane Florence as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Hurricane Florence news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

Florence is a dangerous Category 4 hurricane Wednesday morning, with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph -- down from 140 mph overnight. Florence is located about 575 miles southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina.

The path, intensity and timing of the storm is likely to keep changing through the day Wednesday, but the latest 5 a.m. update shows Florence will no longer be close to Category 5 -- with winds of 145 mph -- through Thursday morning.

It begins to slow down during the day Thursday and that's when it will begin to encounter friction from land and weaken significantly.

Winds may lessen, but because of that slowdown, rainfall totals will be even higher than previously forecast. The southeast coast of North Carolina could see as much as 40 inches of rain -- in line with the catastrophic flooding caused last year in the Houston area by Hurricane Harvey.

"This will likely be the storm of a lifetime for portions of the Carolina coast, and that's saying a lot given the impacts we've seen from Hurricanes Diana, Hugo, Fran, Bonnie, Floyd, and Matthew," the National Weather Service said. "I can't emphasize enough the potential for unbelievable damage from wind, storm surge, and inland flooding with this storm."

As many as 1.7 million people have been ordered to evacuate across South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. Many of those people were already on the road Tuesday.

"If they say leave, leave," said Jennifer Forte, who was in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on Tuesday and headed toward Greenville. "And my job is closed. I work for the government, they've closed. The school's closed until Friday, so there's no reason to stay, really."

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper advised much the same in a press conference Tuesday, warning locations hit by high winds and floodwaters could be without power for "several days."

"We'll be asking people to prepare their emergency kit," he said. "Get food, water, if there are medications they may need. Pull together their important documents ... make a plan for your pets. Also, understand that a lot of people are going to be without power probably for several days if not longer."

The federal government has made similar warnings, with FEMA Administrator Brock Long saying Florence could knock out power for "weeks."

As millions head out of the area, resources like the Red Cross are preparing to deal with the disaster -- and possibly weeks of problems resulting from it.

"This is extremely serious," Major Ken Morris, with the Salvation Army's Disaster Response Team, told ABC News. "We've got a number of volunteers, actually we've got over 3 million volunteers across the nation that can help us. But we need our partners in mission. Folks have come through wonderfully in the past and again in non-affected areas. We've got canteens coming in. It's like an accordion. As this thing increases, we increase our resources."

Prim here reporting from out of school. This article is an update of the Duck Boat situation from July, when it was storming and one of the boats flipped over and killed 17 people. Families that survived are now suing the company for letting the boats go out when they were under a severe thunderstorm warning.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's been nearly two months since a duck boat sank in Branson, Missouri, killing 17 people. A family from New Mexico was on that boat, and survived. They are now suing the duck boat company.

The incident happened on July 19. The duck boat capsized and sank to the bottom of the Table Rock Lake.

Fourteen other people were hurt, but survived, including a family from Carlsbad, New Mexico, and that family is suing the company that owns and operates the boats for $100 million.

The Aleshire Robb and Rapp law firm based, in Springfield, Missouri, is representing the family in the lawsuit against the company, Ride the Ducks Land and Lake Tours and several of it's vending partners. The lawsuit claims negligence against the company for continuing the duck boat tour when severe weather was approaching.

The documents also say that during the briefing before the tour, passengers were told they would not need their life jackets. After the boat went into Table Rock Lake, the predicted storm hit with waves reaching up to 4 feet high.

Documents say the captain lowered the plastic side curtain to block the waves, but the boat continued to take on water and sank to the bottom of the lake. The lawsuit said the design of the boat also contributed to deadly incident. Several other families have also filed lawsuits against the company; including the family that lost nine members in the deadly incident.
