Reporter's Notebook: Two young women caught in Irma's wrath

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When my crew and I woke up Thursday morning in San Juan, after Hurricane Irma had slammed Puerto Rico, the monster storm's fury was evident everywhere: Hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of downed trees were scattered all over the city. And a majority of the island's population, more than a million residents, were without power.

But I was still waiting to hear how the U.S. Virgin Islands had fared since the U.S. territory had been slammed by Irma on Wednesday. It was quiet. That silence was worrisome. But on our way to my live shot for " Good Morning America," I bumped into a pair of men who said they worked for the Department of Justice. They told us that St. Thomas and St. Croix had been hammered by Irma and that relief teams were being sent there to assist residents.

Around 11 a.m., we arrived at a private airport in San Juan in an attempt to get on one of the Coast Guard's initial flyovers of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

At the airport, I began speaking with an officer who pointed to two young women he had just rescued from St Thomas. One of them, Canadian college student Alex Demoor, 22 -- badly bloodied and confused -- was being put on a stretcher.

Alex's friend, Idaho native and college student Mattie Gortat, 22, was close to tears and looked traumatized. Mattie told me that Alex had fallen and hit her head around 6 p.m. the night before, but getting to the nearby hospital proved impossible: Let alone driving conditions, they were told that the hospital had been destroyed.

I exchanged numbers with Mattie as she and Alex got into the ambulance, as I planned to follow-up with them. Mattie called me an hour later, and it sounded like she was crying. They were at the hospital but had not yet seen a doctor and they were having trouble communicating with the Spanish-speaking hospital staff. She wanted to know if my crew and I could help. I said we're on our way.

We arrived at the hospital, San Juan's Centro Medico, to discover a chaotic scene. The hospital was surrounded by countless downed trees and branches. The staff was so overwhelmed by power outages and injured patients, they had blocked off all the entrances to the emergency room and were refusing to allow in visitors. We watched dozens of people try to convince the security guard to allow them in to see their injured loved ones. The guard refused. We were also denied entry, but after a while, we managed to convince the guard that Alex and Mattie needed our help.

Once inside, Mattie told us they had left St. Thomas with just one pair of flip flops between them and a phone that was now low on power. Nothing else. We lent her a spare phone and charger and the girls called their families.

My Spanish-speaking producer Joshua Hoyos began acting as their translator. A doctor finally came, saying he would do CT scans of Alex's head. While we were waiting, the girls told us their terrifying story of riding out the storm in a private house. During the worst of the hurricane Wednesday afternoon, when the U.S. Virgin Islands experienced a peak wind gust of 131 mph, they said they got into a shower and covered themselves with a mattress.

It was scary, Mattie told me. She said the wind felt like the house was "breathing." All sorts of objects were flying around and hitting the walls, and even though the windows had been boarded up, some of those coverings flew off.

I asked Mattie if they thought they may die. "We cried here and there," she told me. "We just didn't know if the roof was going to come off at any moment." Chimed in Alex, "We were praying."

When the worst of Irma was over, Mattie and Alex went outdoors to find complete destruction. All the homes in the surrounding area were destroyed, roofs had been ripped off, cars flipped over, downed power lines and trees were strewn everywhere, and animals were roaming the streets.

They showed my crew and I photos and videos they'd taken of the destruction. But they say around 6 p.m., Alex fell, smacking her head and face on the ground. She was in and out of consciousness. They got lucky because an ambulance happened to be on their side of the island, but the EMT couldn't take them to the hospital because it had been destroyed. Instead, they said he set them up at a restaurant on an air mattress and stayed with them overnight, until the U.S. Coast Guard arrived.

Just as we were about to leave Mattie and Alex, Centro Medico's back-up power supply failed, plunging the ER into darkness (photo below), triggering alarms on life-saving machines. Their terrifying ride was not over yet. We left them with that phone and charger, and told them to stay in touch with us. Last we heard Alex finally got her scans and the Canadian Consulate had dispatched its honorary consul to be by her side.

The Air Force had to cancel several test flights for the new
F-35 multi-role stealth fighter due to an oxygen circulation problem

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 56th Fighter Wing at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona has canceled local flying operations for F-35A Lightning II aircraft after pilots reported suffering symptoms similar to hypoxia, or oxygen deprivation.

There have been five incidents since May 2, but Air Force officials tell Fox News the aircraft have not been "grounded."

"In order to synchronize operations and maintenance efforts toward safe flying operations we have cancelled local F-35A flying. The Air Force takes these physiological incidents seriously, and our focus is on the safety and well-being of our pilots," said Brig. Gen. Brook Leonard, 56th Fighter Wing commander in a press release.

The cancellation of flying is limited to F-35s at Luke Air Force Base.

All of the pilots were able to land their aircraft safely by using the aircraft's backup oxygen system.

Pilots will also be briefed on all the incidents that have occurred and the successful actions taken by the pilots to safely recover their aircraft.

The F-35 Joint Program Office has put brought together an "action team" of engineers, maintainers and aeromedical specialists to examine the incidents.

Authorities say a South Carolina man took his own life moments after his 2-year-old son found a gun and accidentally shot and killed himself.

Richland County Corner Gary Watts says toddler Kyree Myers' mother called 911 after her son found the loaded gun in the family's Columbia home and shot himself.

Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook says when officers arrived, 38-year-old Keon Myers had a gun and was threatening to kill himself, firing the fatal shot into his head after refusing to drop the weapon.

Police say they are still investigating if the father and son were killed with the same weapon and whether that gun was bought legally.

Holbrook says the incident has been "emotionally trying for responding officers" and they will receive support as needed.

More missiles from north korea.

SEOUL - Saturday is the 69th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and neighboring countries are bracing for the rogue country to celebrate in a classic North Korean way: by conducting a test of its nuclear and missile program.

Since earlier in the week, South Korean government officials had reported signs of another missile test in the works, possibly a long-range launch set for this weekend.

Then on Thursday, the South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon announced that the government expects North Korea to launch another intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Sept. 9, saying the situation is "very grave." The National Security Council met on Thursday to discuss plans in case of the new missile test.

Like many countries, North Korea likes to celebrate independence or founding days with parades and proclamations, but Pyongyang likes to add dramatic gestures against imperialism, particularly ones that showcase its military might.

For example, in 2015, North Korea turned back its time zone by a half hour, creating "Pyongyang Time" on its 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese occupation. "The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time while mercilessly trampling down its land," the official KCNA news agency said at the time.

North Korea's neighboring countries have come to expect the isolated country to conduct regular exercises, particularly to celebrate the Day of the Sun in April, the birthday of its founding president. And on Sept. 9 last year, North Korea marked the anniversary of its founding with an underground nuclear test, saying it was building protection against "threats and sanctions."

Kim Il Sung, the founding president of North Korea and the current leader's grandfather, emerged as a leader under the Communist Party of Korea with the help of the Soviet Union after World War II, and established the Worker's Party of North Korea in 1946.

Over the next two years, Kim formed the northern half of the Korean Peninsula into its own state, and by September 1948, had become the leader of the Supreme People's Assembly. On Sept. 9, 1948, the Democratic Republic of North Korea was established.

Fast forward 69 years. Predicting exactly what action the rogue nation will take on a given day is a futile exercise, but there's anticipation building up to the weekend - particularly given South Korean intelligence on technical preparations leading up to another test.

[For Kim Jong Un, nuclear weapons are a security blanket. And he wants to keep it.]

The significance of another intercontinental ballistic missile test would be more political than practical, said Christopher Green, senior adviser for the Korean Peninsula at the International Crisis Group. There's another holiday around the corner - Oct. 10, the anniversary of the founding of the Korean Workers' Party - so it's not imperative for Pyongyang to conduct a test on Sept. 9, he said.

Moreover, the shorter the space between each test, the less there is that North Korea's scientists and technicians can learn from them and make improvements to their designs, he said.

"To the degree that North Korea knows that the international community is going to punish it for conducting its sixth nuclear test - or try to punish it, at any rate - there is no incentive not to do something else provocative on Sept. 9. If one is going to be punished for one's actions anyway, why not go the whole hog?" Green said.

"On the other side of the coin, everyone now seems to expect North Korea to take a provocative step of some kind on Sept. 9, and it doesn't serve Pyongyang's interests to be too predictable in the short run. They may opt to wait," Green added.

North Korea has been stepping up its nuclear and missile program significantly in recent months. In July, North Korea conducted two tests of an intercontinental ballistic missile that appeared capable of reaching the United States mainland.

The United Nations Security Council already has imposed sanctions, including on coal and seafood. Yet they have done little to alter North Korean behavior; less than a week ago, Pyongyang conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test to date. This prompted South Korean President Moon Jae-in to push for even harsher sanctions, including cutting off the critical crude oil supply, but China and Russia - permanent members of the UN Security Council - have yet to come around to that particular idea.

"There's been no diplomatic intervention to stop the continued testing, and the pace has been consistently fast," said John Delury, associate professor of Chinese Studies at the Yonsei University Graduate School of International Studies in Seoul.

It remains unclear what the international community can do next. Meanwhile, North Korea issued a defiant statement Thursday: "We will reply to U.S. barbarian sanctions and pressure with our powerful countermeasures."

"North Korea could be playing with us, looking like they're moving stuff around just to keep people on edge," Delury said. "If there's nothing on the 9th, there will be a sign of relief - but it's sort of meaningless, because we've set this expectation."

In Seoul, life is carrying on as normal. Delury's advice to a certain WorldViews reporter trying to figure out whether she can make plans to see her grandmother in Seoul this weekend: "When it comes between your grandma and Kim Jong Un, you should pick your grandma."

The House approved Friday a package of bills that ties emergency funding for hurricane relief with measures that would raise the debt ceiling and keep the government open for three months.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Thursday, the Senate passed legislation that pairs hurricane relief aid with a three-month increase in the debt ceiling and a spending measure to keep the government open for the same amount of time. The House vote is scheduled for approximately 12:30 p.m. Friday, a senior House GOP leadership aide told CNN.

Trump, in a surprising move, signed onto the package Wednesday, siding with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, who proposed bundling the bills together but only with a three-month extension for the debt ceiling, essentially punting the issue until December.

Republican leaders had sought a debt limit increase for as long as 18 months.

Seventeen senators -- all Republicans -- voted against the package Thursday, most of whom said they wanted to support emergency funds for Hurricanes Harvey and Irma but opposed the idea of raising the debt ceiling for only three months and without any spending cuts or reforms.

A bevy of conservatives in the House have similar concerns, though it's expected the bill will narrowly pass, given the wide support from Democrats.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Budget Chief Mick Mulvaney are attending a Friday morning session with rank-and-file House GOP members and are expected to discuss the package Friday morning with Republican House members in a meeting, according to two senior GOP leadership aides. Mulvaney is a founding member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, and regularly voted against bills to increase the debt limit during his tenure in the House because he wanted spending reforms, but is now on board with the Trump administration's strategy.

One key House conservative who opposes the bill, Rep. Mark Walker of North Carolina, wouldn't say if he thought there were enough votes to defeat the bill, but told reporters "you're not going to get a majority of the majority Republicans" and believed as many as 100 GOP members could break with the leadership and the White House on it.

Another leadership aide told CNN that it would be incumbent on the President and other administration officials to advocate for the package, given the resistance that many conservatives have about backing any debt hike, especially after GOP leaders pressed for a longer extension than the one the president agreed to accept from Democrats.

If passed by the House, the bill will then head to the President's desk.

Claire Connelly, who attends Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, was on the New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line Wednesday evening headed towards Highland where her parents live when she fell asleep.

When she woke up, the train was parked in the deserted yard.

Connelly used her phone to shoot a video of herself as she wandered terrified through the train.

"I literally just fell asleep on my train. I'm on a train. There is no one on," Connelly said on video as she was walking through the empty cars. She later posted the video on Twitter.

Chiefs think Eric Berry might have torn Achilles against the Patriots last night after being carted off in the 4th quarter.

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry suffered an Achilles injury and was carted off the field during Thursday's season opener against the New England Patriots.

Doug Kyed of NESN reported the cart came out for the defensive back, and NBC's Michele Tafoya called it an Achilles injury on the broadcast.

Berry, 28, went down in the fourth quarter after tallying seven total tackles.

In his seventh NFL season, Berry is coming off a remarkable return to football following his 2014 cancer diagnosis. He has made the Pro Bowl each of the last two seasons and has also been named a first-team All-Pro.

"Eric is the heart and soul of this team, the embodiment of what we're about," quarterback Alex Smith told reporters. "That's selflessness, hard work, giving it up for the guy next to you. That's all Eric talks about, and it's real, it's sincere ... and it's from the heart."

The Chiefs defense will instantly feel the effect of him being out of the lineup. He's their defensive quarterback and best player, so teams should be able to find more success downfield if he's out for an extended period.

3:00 AM ET

Ian O'ConnorESPN Senior Writer

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- More than any sports franchise on American soil, the New England Patriots refuse to bask in the glories of their past. Bill Belichick won a record fifth Super Bowl title on a record comeback in February, and before he even boarded the plane heading home he was complaining he was five weeks behind the league-wide losers in preparing for 2017.

The Patriots live the stay-in-the-moment cliché every hour of every day. They don't spend any more time polishing past trophies than they do booking Super Bowl hotel reservations in the middle of October. But on Thursday night, before opening the season against a room-temperature opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Patriots finally surrendered to human nature. They finally stopped for a moment to tell themselves, You know what, we are pretty damn special.

The Patriots' title defense got off to a stunningly bad start, as the Chiefs strung together big play after big play in an opening-night romp.

Alex Smith and the Chiefs dismantled the defending champs on their home field Thursday, opening the season with a resounding 42-27 win.

And they are, of course. Given that the NFL has long seen parity as a virtue, and uses the draft, salary cap, schedule, and free agency to protect that virtue, the Patriots of Belichick and Tom Brady might go down as the greatest dynasty in all of team sports.

They had earned their pregame party and the unveiling of their new banner. But the postings on the Gillette Stadium scoreboards that read "ATL 28 NE 3" and "2:12 3RD QTR" seemed a bit overdone for a franchise that never dances in yesterday's confetti. So did the five oversized Lombardi Trophies that were rolled onto the field, along with the thousands of fans who booed Roger Goodell when he stepped onto the field during warmups, wearing T-shirts and waved towels carrying the image of Goodell wearing a clown's red nose.

Yes, in his first regular season appearance in Foxborough since Deflategate turned into a raging hot mess, Goodell might've had a harsh New England welcome coming to him. But the Patriots have won two Super Bowls since that story first broke. The team and its fans had already won that fight, and yet continued to spend time and energy flailing away at a commissioner who made himself an easy target.

So in that context, it was fitting the Patriots opened a season that some observers, including this one, believed could end with an historic 19-0 record and got hammered by the Chiefs, who came in a lot hotter than room temperature after all. They scored 42 points, more than any points New England's ever surrendered in Belichick's 17-plus years. They gained 537 yards, more than any yards New England's ever surrendered in Belichick's 17-plus years. Just as the Chiefs did in 2014, when they dropped 41 on the Patriots in Week 4, they made the ageless Brady look about as old as his birth certificate suggested.

Brady went under center Thursday night as a 40-year-old regular season starter for the first time. When he was done misfiring on 20-of-36 passes and failing to throw for a single touchdown, nobody dared write or say that Brady was done as a dynasty maker like they wrote and said he was done in 2014. He was angry all the same. Brady was asked about Rob Gronkowski's failure to hold on to a touchdown pass in the first quarter, a pass that could've given the Patriots a 14-0 lead and instead altered the momentum of the game, and this is what he said:

"That was a disappointing play. I mean, that would have been a big play in the game. We just didn't make it. We didn't make a lot of plays tonight actually. So we just have to be a lot better in a lot of areas, starting with our attitude and competitiveness."

Attitude and competitiveness? Tom Brady was questioning his team's attitude and competitiveness?

"I just think we need to have more urgency," he said, "and go out there and perform a lot better. That is a winning attitude, a championship attitude, that you need to bring every day, and we had it handed to us on our own field. It's a terrible feeling."

It's a rare feeling, too. The Chiefs beat the Patriots with the blazing speed of Tyreek Hill and rookie Kareem Hunt, who had scores of 75 and 78 yards, and with decisive power and patience on the 90-yard drive following the missed Brady-Gronk connection in the first quarter. When the Patriots tried to keep their offense on the field in short-yardage situations, the Chiefs physically dominated them up front and made the game-shaping stops.

"Just a very poor effort," Brady said.

"Bad defense, bad coaching, bad playing, bad football," said a barely audible Belichick. "There were problems all over the place."

The defensive front was as concerning as advertised, as Alex Smith, a consistent and reliable character actor, suddenly turned into Marlon Brando. He threw for 368 yards and four touchdowns, including his 75-yarder to a wide-open Hill streaking down the sideline at Olympic-like speed.

Even before Danny Amendola went down with his head injury, Brady was going to miss Julian Edelman and Malcolm Mitchell -- especially Edelman. As much as it was mentioned that Brady won it all without Gronkowski last season, Edelman did make the most important and most bizarre catch in the Super Bowl LI victory over Atlanta, and he did score the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl XLIX victory over Seattle. He had more than 1,100 receiving yards last year. His absence was going to hurt.

In the end, Kansas City acted like it didn't want to be Kansas City anymore. The Chiefs have averaged nearly 11 wins over the regular season for the last four years, but have fizzled in the playoffs. But the Chiefs looked hungrier and angrier than the Patriots. At halftime, Michele Tafoya of NBC said she had a conversation with Belichick about the way the first 30 minutes went down, but that Kansas City coach Andy Reid refused to talk. You know a coach is locked in when he rejects an interview request that Belichick accepts.

Before Thursday night, the Patriots had won 87 consecutive home games when leading at the half. Before Thursday night, Brady had won 52 consecutive home games against AFC opponents when he'd effectively played the entire game.

None of that means New England should start scouting Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold. The previous three times the Patriots lost their season opener, they ended up winning the whole thing.

But first they need to figure out how to field a competitive defense. Oh, and they also need to forget about their absurd comeback victory over Atlanta.

In Week 1 of the 2017 season, the Patriots cut against their own grain and reminded the world one more time about that 28-3 deficit they overcame. And then they played like they did for the first 43 minutes in Houston last February, this time with no miracle in sight.

Marcus Peters sit during National Anthem having a lot of fans complaining

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- From television sets, to radio to social media, scores of Kansas City Chiefs fans didn't hold back their feelings after seeing or hearing Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters decided not to stand for the National Anthem during Thursday night's season opener in Massachusetts.

"I think it was disrespectful to our country. He should have stood up," said Sandra Lowman.

"Everybody has a right to their opinion. I'm a military guy, having served in the Marines, but I still think we fought for everybody's rights and so he's entitled to sit if he wants," said Daniel Drinkall.

"After I saw what he did, I just lost respect for him," said a furious Steven King of Topeka.

Peters' controversial gesture angered King so much that while watching the game Thursday night at McFadden's in the Power and Light District, King took off his Number 22 jersey and gave it to FOX 4's Robert Townsend when Townsend got King's reaction.

"I had so much respect for him before he did that. He's a good player and all that, but now you can have that jersey. I don't care what you do with it. I don't want it!" exclaimed an irate King.

Again, other Chiefs fans say the popular cornerback's decision to sit during the National Anthem didn't bother them one bit.

"Nope I wasn't bothered at all. That's his personal opinion and I'm okay with it," said one fan.

"Yeah, I don't agree with it and I don't like it, but we do live in America and he's free to do what he wants. I probably will get crucified for that, but that's just how I feel about it," said Michelle Albrecht of Blue Springs.

MEXICO CITY, Sept 7 (Reuters) - At least 32 people were killed after a massive 8.1 magnitude earthquake, one of the biggest recorded in Mexico, struck off the country's southern coast late on Thursday, causing cracks in buildings and triggering a small tsunami, authorities said.

The quake was apparently stronger than a devastating 1985 temblor that flattened swathes of Mexico City and killed thousands, but this time, damage to the city was limited.

A number of buildings suffered severe damage in parts of southern Mexico. Some of the worst initial reports came from the town of Juchitan in Oaxaca state, where sections of the town hall, a hotel, a bar and other buildings were reduced to rubble.

Alejandro Murat, the state governor, said 23 deaths were registered in Oaxaca, 17 of them in Juchitan.

A spokesman for emergency services said seven people were also confirmed dead in the neighboring state of Chiapas. Earlier, the governor of Tabasco, Arturo Nunez, said two children had died in his state.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the 8.1 magnitude quake had its epicenter in the Pacific Ocean, 54 miles (87 km) southwest of the town of Pijijiapan in the impoverished southern state of Chiapas, at a depth of 43 miles.

Rescue workers labored through the night in badly affected areas to check for people trapped in collapsed buildings.

Windows were shattered at Mexico City airport and power went out in several neighborhoods of the capital, affecting more than one million people. The cornice of a hotel came down in the southern tourist city of Oaxaca, a witness said.

The tremor was felt as far away as neighboring Guatemala.

WAVES
The quake triggered waves as high as 2.3 ft (0.7 m) in Mexico, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. Mexican television showed images of the sea retreating about 50 meters, and authorities evacuated some coastal areas.

President Enrique Pena Nieto said the tsunami risk on the Chiapas coast was not major.

"We are alert," he told local television.

More aftershocks were likely, the president said, advising people to check their homes and offices for structural damage and for gas leaks. The USGS reported multiple aftershocks, ranging in magnitude from 4.3 to 5.7.

Classes were suspended in most of central and southern Mexico on Friday to allow authorities to review damage.

There was no tsunami threat for American Samoa and Hawaii, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning System. The national disaster agency of the Philippines put the country's eastern seaboard on alert, but no evacuation was ordered.

People in Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities, ran out into the streets in pajamas and alarms sounded after the quake struck just before midnight, a Reuters witness said.

Helicopters buzzed overhead a few minutes later, apparently looking for damage to buildings in the city, which is built on a spongy, drained lake bed.

"I had never been anywhere where the earth moved so much. At first I laughed, but when the lights went out, I didn't know what to do," said Luis Carlos Briceno, an architect, 31, who was visiting Mexico City. "I nearly fell over."

In one central neighborhood, dozens of people stood outside after the quake, some wrapped in blankets against the cool night air. Children were crying.

Liliana Villa, 35, who was in her apartment when the quake struck, fled to the street in her nightclothes.

"It felt horrible, and I thought, 'this (building) is going to fall.'"

State oil company Pemex said it was still checking for damage at its installations.

Pena Nieto said operations at the Salina Cruz refinery in the same region as the epicenter were temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure.

Story highlights

Nicole and Christian McDonald entered their boys' hospital room for a final time.

In a corner room of Blythedale Children's Hospital in Valhalla, New York, Jadon and Anias had recovered for the past nine months of extensive rehabilitation after the surgery to separate the formerly conjoined twins.

The two boys captivated millions around the world when they underwent a 27-hour separation surgery in October. The twins, who were 13 months old at the time, had shared 5 centimeters by 7 centimeters of brain tissue, making the complicated surgery that much more difficult.

Jadon and Anias had known the world only from lying on their backs, and the surgery set them back to infancy in terms of speech and gross motor skills. In recovery, they learned how to use muscles they never knew they had. Just sitting up was a monumental task.

Doctors feared that Anias might never be able to use his right side. Yet in rehab, he's begun using his right hand almost as much as his left.

Their final day at Blythedale is one Nicole and Christian had dreamed of since before the surgery. The family transported their lives from small-town Illinois to New York in February 2016 to prepare for the procedure.

The boys had been in the hospital almost constantly since then, first at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center, where the surgery took place, and then Blythedale. They turn 2 years old on Saturday.

Gone are the fears of the surgery itself. The hour-long trips to the hospital. The longing to have their family under one roof.

Nicole lifted Anias from his hospital crib. "Are you ready to go?" she asked, cradling him close to her heart.

Across the room, Christian picked up Jadon and told him that he'll soon "get to hang out at home."

"You get to ride in a minivan," he said. "You get to be a normal little boy."

The boys were placed in a double umbrella stroller. Jadon sported a white helmet with a red Velcro strap; Anias wore a helmet with a blue stripe.

Dad pushed their stroller down the hall. Mom and their 4-year-old brother, Aza, accompanied them.

It was time to go home. Finally.

'God works through people'

The McDonald home teems with activity. Nicole and Christian purchased the home in foreclosure in the spring. Nestled in New York's Orange County, with views of the Catskill Mountains, it was in need of extensive renovation.

Christian worked almost around the clock to get it ready for his boys, ripping off siding and tearing up old carpet. A few weeks ago, four guys from Texas who are affiliated with their church showed up to help. In just 2½ days, they built front stairs, installed siding, replaced windows, refurbished the laundry room and renovated a bathroom.

Most important, they ran an electrical circuit to the boys' room to handle all of their specialized medical equipment. Anias will need a feeding tube, as well as a breathing machine and a suction machine to aid in his care.

Fans who acquire tickets through the package offered on the team's website will be given "Big Sexy" T-shirts ahead of Colon's scheduled start at Target Field.

Don't worry: The shirts are guaranteed even if Colon doesn't take the mound next Friday for whatever reason.

Nine farmers were killed by Boko Haram fighters.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The leader of a self-defense group in northern Nigeria says suspected Boko Haram insurgents have killed at least nine people at a farm outside Maiduguri city.

Bunu Bukar, the secretary of the Borno state hunters association, says the insurgents abducted five farmers Wednesday and returned Thursday for four others. He says the nine bodies were dumped Friday in Gongulong, about 13 kilometers (8 miles) east of the state capital.

Modu Hassan, a Maiduguri resident whose father in-law was among those killed, says the attackers tied the victims' hands and slit their throats.

Boko Haram fighters have intensified attacks on farmers in recent weeks, including the killing of dozens in two raids in Damboa, south of Maiduguri.

The Islamic extremist group has killed more than 20,000 during its eight-year insurgency.
