Just in time for Thanksgiving, a set of twins born attached at the head are headed home from the hospital after over a year, ABC News reported today.

One of the twins, Abby Delaney, had previously been cleared to be discharged. But her sister, Erin, required additional monitoring. The girls had been separated in June during an 11-hour surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Thirty doctors participated in that surgery.

Survival rates for conjoined twins are quite low. About half are stillborn, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center's website, and many don't survive more than a day. Twins born attached at the head, called craniopagus twins, only make up about 2 percent of all conjoined twins, which makes them one of the rarest subtypes. Estimates of how often twins are born conjoined can range, but one puts the frequency between one of every 50,000 births and one of every 100,000 births.

Despite the odds, Erin and Abby have made it home-and they are not even the only set of craniopagus twins to go home after separation surgery this year. CNN reported in September that Jadon and Anias McDonald, another set of twins born conjoined at the head, left a rehabilitation facility after about a year in recovery. Those children's surgery, done in 2016 at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, took 27 hours.

Both sets of twins are expected to need more surgery in the future as they grow.

Conjoined twins are born because of a hiccup that happens very early in an embryo's development, according to the Mayo Clinic's website. Instead of remaining in one clump, cells that make up an embryo will partially split about two weeks after conception. (Another theory is that separate embryos may somehow join together.) Exactly where the embryo splits off-and where it remains attached-determines what parts of the body conjoined twins will share. Besides being conjoined at the head, twins have been born attached at the hip, the chest or the spine.

Surgeries like the ones that the Delaney and McDonald twins went through were pioneered in part by Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon by training. Carson was also a candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 2016 and is the current head of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Trump. Carson separated two conjoined German twins in 1987, The Washington Post reported. An account of the surgery was also published in Carson's book, Gifted Hands.

11 year old boy in Ohio died after being pinned down by his step-grandfather who weighed 400 lbs.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Ohio 11-year-old was killed after he was pinned down by his step-grandfather, who investigators said weighs up to 400 pounds, police said.

Authorities in Brown County said Donald Martin, Jr. 58, was arrested on Friday after the boy's grandmother called 911 to report the boy wasn't breathing.

"He came home and threw a fit," the grandmother of Dylan Davis, 11, told the dispatcher, according to Fox 8. "Police came here all the time for him and he threw a fit. My husband was holding him down, he got sick and then he just passed out. I don't know."
KENNEDY ARRESTED AFTER PARTY TO ATTEND DIVERSION PROGRAM
Brown County Sheriff Gordon Ellis told WLWT that it "appears that the 11-year-old was deceased as a result of positional asphyxiation or compression."

"There was some type of altercation between the 11-year-old and his grandmother and the step-grandfather stepped in and restrained the juvenile," he added.

Prosecutors said the morbidly obese step-grandfather held down the boy for several minutes.

Martin is now facing charges of reckless homicide.

The boy's father, Sam Davis, told WLWT that his son was a "great kid" who enjoyed the outdoors. He said the 11-year-old was autistic.

"I feel sad. I feel angry. I feel confused. I wish it never would have happened," he said, adding that his son sometimes showed signs of aggression. "He was getting older. Sometimes his anger was getting stronger and sometimes he had to be physically restrained."

Comedian Kevin Hart and his wife welcomed their son early this morning

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kevin Hart and his wife, Eniko Parrish, welcomed their first child early this morning.

The actor and comedian, 38, made the big announcement on social media.

"God is truly amazing....Kenzo Kash Hart was born at 1:45am ....He is Healthy & already smiling. Thank you all for your prayers!!!! We love & appreciate ya," Hart tweeted.

God is truly amazing....Kenzo Kash Hart was born at 1:45am ....He is Healthy & already smiling. Thank you all for your prayers!!!! We love & appreciate ya #Harts
- Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4real) November 21, 2017

Kenzo is Hart's third child; he also has a daughter, Heaven, 12, and a son, Hendrix, 10, from a previous marriage. This is Parrish's first child.

Hart and Parrish announced that they were expecting a child on Mother's Day.

In a sentimental caption on Instagram, Hart wrote, "Celebrating Mother's Day with my beautiful wife. We are laughing at the fact that this time next year we will be celebrating her 1st actual Mother's Day."

The post included two photos, featuring one with Parrish showing off her growing baby bump. Hart also revealed that they were having a boy.

Hart and Parrish wed last August in a ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.

In September, Hart took to Instagram to apologize to his pregnant wife and family for what he described as a "bad error in judgment." He also said that the FBI was investigating a video showing Hart with a woman who isn't his wife after an extorter allegedly demanded millions of dollars from Hart.

"I know I'm going to hurt the people closest to me who I have talked to and apologized to, being my wife and my kids," Hart said in the video.

Following Hart's apology, reps for the comedian told ABC News in a statement on Sept. 17: "Someone tried to set Kevin up in a failed extortion attempt. As law enforcement is involved, we cannot comment further as it could affect the investigation."

An attorney for a woman who said she was "involved" with the comedian in August said someone secretly placed cameras in a hotel suite and recorded images of them, the Associated Press reported.

A pair of formerly conjoined twins are being discharged from the hospital just in time for Thanksgiving after a successful surgery to separate them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A pair of formerly conjoined twins are being discharged from the hospital just in time for Thanksgiving after a successful surgery to separate them.

Erin and Abby Delaney were born joined at the head on July 24, 2016 -- 10 weeks premature. In June, they underwent a rare separation surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Erin and Abby suffered from brain bleeds after the surgery and were even placed in an induced coma for a few weeks.

However, five months later, the girls are thriving and were sent home to North Carolina on Monday, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia said in a press release.

"The girls are inspiring," Heather Delaney, mother to Erin and Abby, said in a statement. "As their parents, it is very neat for Riley [Delaney, their father] and me to have a front-row seat to this and watch them overcome these incredible obstacles. We cannot wait to see what their future holds!"

Though the girls will require additional surgeries as they mature, the team that separated them is optimistic about their futures.

And their parents are thrilled the girls are coming home.

"Riley and I are so grateful for the care our girls have received here and so excited to take them home -- just in time for the holidays," Heather Delaney said.

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has separated 24 sets of conjoined twins since 1957, the hospital said.

Pieces of a soviet space shuttle were found.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Written by Jacopo Prisco, CNN

It was the Soviet response to the Space Shuttle, designed to take the Cold War into space. But after just one flight, it was mothballed: now, abandoned ruins of what was called the Buran program are left to rust in the steppe of Kazakhstan.

Two shuttles and a rocket lie in disused hangars, not far from the launchpad of that first flight, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. It's an active spaceport about 1,500 miles south-east of Moscow, still used today to send and retrieve astronauts from the International Space Station.

The site is not open to the public, but a few adventurers have mustered the courage to sneak in and take a look. Among them is French photographer David de Rueda, who visited the site three times between 2015 and 2017: "The space shuttles are only a few hundred meters from active facilities. Getting there was an epic adventure, we didn't know if we would make it because the Kazakh steppe is a hostile environment. But it was entirely worth it. This place is unreal," he said in an email interview.

Why so similar?

The design of the Buran ("blizzard" in Russian) was remarkably similar to that of the Shuttle. That's no coincidence: "The Russians needed a vehicle of similar dimensions because they wanted to match the payload capacity of the Space Shuttle," said Soviet space historian Bart Hendrickx in an email interview.

NASA's Shuttle was basically a space truck, designed to haul large cargo into orbit at the request of the Pentagon, which planned to use it to deploy military satellites. The USSR wanted a clone with the same ability: "The decision to build Buran was a response to the perceived military threat posed by the Space Shuttle. If the Americans hadn't developed the Shuttle, the Russians wouldn't have developed Buran. To them it was just another part of the arms race," said Hendrickx.

The first Shuttle, Enterprise, had been completed for four years when the Soviets started building the inaugural Buran in 1980. No doubt, that time was spent also studying NASA's designs: "There was an urge in the Soviet defense industry to blindly copy whatever the Americans built. Many Russian engineers say that the laws of aerodynamics left little room for other designs, but that's hard to defend." When the Buran was finally unveiled, in 1988, the similarities hitherto hidden by the shroud of secrecy of the Cold War became apparent. The New York Times wrote: "Even the paint job, white with black trim, is much the same."

Structural differences

The two vehicles weren't completely identical, though: under the skin were major structural differences that couldn't be seen at a glance. Chiefly, the Shuttle orbiter had its own engines to fly to space and used a large rocket as a fuel tank. The Buran orbiter, instead, had no engines and was merely attached to an even larger, full-fledged rocket called Energia. This allowed the Russians more flexibility in sending payloads to space.

The Buran also had emergency ejects seats for all crew members (absent on the Shuttle) and was free from the specific design flaws that contributed to the destruction of two Shuttles in flight, the Challenger in 1986 and the Columbia in 2003. Oleg Kotov, a veteran Russian cosmonaut who's spent more than 500 days in space, said in 2011 that these details could have made the Buran safer.

Hendrickx agrees: "In the end, the Russians developed a system that was more capable, more versatile and safer than the Space Shuttle, but by the time it was ready to fly, the Cold War was coming to an end and the project had lost much of its political support," he said.

Just one flight

The Buran's lone flight was completed successfully on Nov. 15 1988, just a year before the fall of the Berlin wall. Shortly after that mission, the program was suspended and president Boris Yeltsin eventually canceled it on June 30 1993: "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there simply was no money left to use it for the civilian missions that it could still have performed, mainly space station support. There was no fundamental need for it in the immediate future of the Soviet space program," said Hendrickx.

The vehicle used for the first flight, whose actual name was "Buran," was put into storage in a building at the Baikonur spaceport, but due to neglect and the extreme temperature variations of the Kazakh steppe, the roof collapsed in 2002 and completely destroyed it.

Three more Burans were kept at the complex. One, a full scale test model, was left to rust outdoors, but in 2007 it was moved to the nearby Baikonur museum where it still stands as an exhibit. The remaining two are abandoned to this day in a hangar called "MZK," which stands for "Assembly and Fueling Building." One of them, nicknamed Ptichka ("Birdie"), was supposed to fly the second Buran mission, and it was more than 90 percent ready when the Buran project was canceled, according to Hendrickx. The other is a model used for ground tests, not designed to fly.

Why are they here?

Why were these vehicles, once the pride of the Soviet space program, left to rot in an unlocked building for nearly three decades? "For some reason, there's never been enough interest and money to turn them into museum exhibits," said Hendrickx. It might come down to logistics: "The Baikonur museum already has an orbiter and it has become virtually impossible to transport the vehicles to other locations in Russia or abroad. They're not even owned any longer by the Russian government."

In 2008, a German museum expressed interest in the Burans and offered $12 million for them, but the deal didn't go through due to the excessive costs of flying them over with a special plane: "In the end, the museum purchased a different Buran orbiter that had somehow ended up in Bahrain. It was transported to Germany by boat," said Hendrickx.

During a recent visit, Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin hinted at plans to turn the former Buran launch pad into a museum. According to photographer David de Rueda, who last visited the site in August 2017, the Burans can still be saved: "The shuttles and the rocket have been exposed to dust, bird poop and extreme temperatures for almost 30 years. Time has left its mark. But other than that, they're in rather good condition."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
CBS News has fired "CBS This Morning" co-anchor Charlie Rose after the veteran journalist was accused of sexual harassment by several women.

"A short time ago we terminated Charlie Rose's employment with CBS News, effective immediately," CBS News executives emailed staffers in a memo obtained by Fox News.

On Monday, a bombshell report by the Washington Post accused Rose of making unwanted sexual advances toward at least eight women and admitted to some of the misconduct in a statement

CBS News President David Rhodes continued his email to Staffers: A short time ago we terminated Charlie Rose's employment with CBS News, effective immediately. This followed the revelation yesterday of extremely disturbing and intolerable behavior said to have revolved around his PBS program.
Despite Charlie's important journalistic contribution to our news division, there is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace-a supportive environment where people feel they can do their best work. We need to be such a place. I've often heard that things used to be different. And no one may be able to correct the past. But what may once have been accepted should not ever have been acceptable. CBS News has reported on extraordinary revelations at other media companies this year and last. Our credibility in that reporting requires credibility managing basic standards of behavior. That is why we have taken these actions. Let's please remember our obligations to each other as colleagues. We will have human resources support today and every day, and we are organizing more personal and direct training which you will hear about from senior management shortly. I'm deeply disappointed and angry that people were victimized-and that even people not connected with these events could see their hard work undermined. If all of us commit to the best behavior and the best work - that is what we can be known for.
More to come...

8 young kids have died from these dressers that keep falling over

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ikea is recalling again one of its dressers after an eighth child was killed by it.

The latest victim was a 2-year-old California boy who was crushed by a MALM dresser after being put down for a nap in his bedroom in May.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said today that Ikea has now received 186 reports of incidents with MALM style chests and dressers. More than 90 children have been injured from them, the CPSC said.

Ikea said last month in a statement that "the initial investigation indicates that the chest involved in this incident had not been properly attached to the wall." It has recalled MALM chests and dressers "due to serious tip-over hazard."

The Swedish furniture brand first issued a recall in June 2016, which reportedly included roughly 29 million chests and dressers.

Ikea CEO Lars Petersson said the company was raising awareness about the recall campaign on social media, its website and television and print ads, The Associated Press reported.

A lawyer for the family of the latest victim, who has not been named, said the family plans to sue Ikea. The lawyer said the family was unaware the dresser had been recalled.

Jacquelyn Collas, whose 2-year-old son also died after being pinned down by a MALM dresser in February 2014, has also filed a lawsuit against Ikea.

In its answer to Collas' suit, Ikea denied any allegations of manufacturing defect or inadequate warning.

Our attention turns now to the West where serious of storms will bring a threat of flooding to Washington state

ABC

There are flood watches for Seattle and most of western Washington state through Thursday.

This morning, the next storm system is already moving in, bringing very warm air with rain reaching even the mountains.

ABC

By tomorrow, more rain with mild temps will continue for the Pacific Northwest, this could result in flooding.

On Thursday, the cold front finally reaches the coast and will bring additional rain, possibly heavy at times. Flooding could be possible all the way to the mountains.

Over the next 48 to 56 hours, some areas could see more than a half-a-foot of rain.

More cold air for the Midwest and the Northeast

After one warm day for the Midwest and the Great Lakes, a new shot of cold air is moving in today. Single digits and teens are possible for the Great Lakes and the northern Plains.

This new cold blast moves east Wednesday afternoon and the coldest wind chills will be Thursday morning, teens and 20s for most of the Northeast, even the mid-South will feel like its below freezing.

Holiday travel forecast

For the busiest travel day of the year, Wednesday, most of the country does not look too bad, but we do have a few trouble spots.

The worst weather will be in the Pacific Northwest on I-5 and I-90 with flooding possible from Seattle to Portland and east to Spokane.

In the Northeast, not looking for anything major, but a few lake effect snow bands could cause slippery roads in western NY and PA on I-90.

Rain and a few thunderstorms are possible for central Florida on I-95 and I-75.

Young followers of Charles Manson are still in prison after his death.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Now, 48 years after the brutal series of killings, the cult leader is dead, and most of the "Manson Family" of followers, who carried out the murders, are still in prison.

Manson had ordered the killings, but didn't participate. Prosecutors said that Manson wanted to start a race war and had hoped the Black Panthers would be blamed for the deaths.

The back-to-back killings began on August 9, 1969, at the home of actress Sharon Tate and her husband, famed movie director Roman Polanski. He was out of the country at the time. The first set of victims were Tate, who was eight months pregnant; a celebrity hairstylist named Jay Sebring; coffee fortune heiress Abigail Folger; writer Wojciech Frykowski; and Steven Parent, a friend of the family's caretaker.

The next evening, supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, were killed at their home.

Manson and several of his followers were sentenced to death, but had their terms commuted to life sentences when the California's death penalty was briefly abolished.

Here's what happened to the rest of Manson's followers:

In prison

The 69-year-old remains at the California Institution for Women. She was convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder in the Manson family attacks.

On the first day of the killing spree, she stabbed Abigail Folger 28 times, she said in court testimony.

During the second night, Krenwinkel testified that she stabbed Rosemary LaBianca while the victim pleaded for the life of her husband, Leno LaBianca. Krenwinkel said she later scrawled "Death to Pigs" on the wall with the blood of Leno LaBianca.

She was denied parole for the 14th time in June. She'll be eligible for consideration again in five years.

One of the chief participants in the Manson family murders, Watson was convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder. He was involved in both killings at Tate's and the LaBianca's residences.

At age 71, Watson remains in prison and has been denied parole 17 times.

She had been the youngest of Manson's followers, at age 19 when she participated in the killings of the LaBiancas. She was not involved in the murder at the Tate residence.

Van Houten, 68, has been denied parole 19 times and remains at the California Institution for Women. In September, a two-person state commission panel granted Van Houten parole for what would be the second time. But that decision requires legal review and a decision by California Governor Jerry Brown. He had rejected parole for her last year saying she "currently poses an unreasonable danger to society."

After his conviction for the murders of Gary Hinman and Donald "Shorty" Shea, Davis is serving a life sentence. Hinman, a music teacher, and Shea, a stuntman and ranch hand, were killed in 1969.

Davis was not involved in the Tate and LaBianca murders.

Although he was recommended for parole, it was denied by Gov. Brown in June.

He was convicted of the murder of Gary Hinman. Beausoleil, 70, is serving a life sentence and at a Vacaville, California, medical facility.

Dead

Susan "Sadie" Denise Atkins

Atkins, who was involved in the Tate and LaBianca deaths, had been California's longest-serving female inmate until her 2009 death in prison. She had terminal brain cancer.

By her own admission, Atkins held down and stabbed Tate, who was then eight months pregnant, as the actress pleaded for mercy.

Atkins also was convicted in the killings of the LaBiancas and the earlier murder of music teacher Gary Hinman.

Out of prison

She was convicted in 1975 of pointing a gun at then-President Gerald Ford. She was sentenced to life in prison and was released on parole after serving 34 years in 2009.

He was released on parole after revealing the location of the body of Donald Shea, who was killed in 1969.

An Ohio 11-year-old was killed after he was pinned down by his step-grandfather, who investigators said weighs up to 400 pounds, police said.

Authorities in Brown County said Donald Martin, Jr. 58, was arrested on Friday after the boy's grandmother called 911 to report the boy wasn't breathing.

"He came home and threw a fit," the grandmother of Dylan Davis, 11, told the dispatcher, according to Fox 8. "Police came here all the time for him and he threw a fit. My husband was holding him down, he got sick and then he just passed out. I don't know."

Brown County Sheriff Gordon Ellis told WLWT that it "appears that the 11-year-old was deceased as a result of positional asphyxiation or compression."

"There was some type of altercation between the 11-year-old and his grandmother and the step-grandfather stepped in and restrained the juvenile," he added.

Prosecutors said the morbidly obese step-grandfather held down the boy for several minutes.

Martin is now facing charges of reckless homicide.

The boy's father, Sam Davis, told WLWT that his son was a "great kid" who enjoyed the outdoors. He said the 11-year-old was autistic.

"I feel sad. I feel angry. I feel confused. I wish it never would have happened," he said, adding that his son sometimes showed signs of aggression. "He was getting older. Sometimes his anger was getting stronger and sometimes he had to be physically restrained."

Plane diverted, flight attendant quits after passenger threatened to pee on plane

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A flight from Birmingham, England, to Amsterdam was forced to turn back around after a passenger became "aggressive and abusive" during a bathroom emergency, the Birmingham Mail reports.

According to records from the Birmingham Magistrates Court, via the Mail, Tabberner and three of his "loud and rowdy" friends had boarded the Flybe airlines flight earlier this year on May 26. But when he and his friends were told to buckle-up for take-off, Tabberner immediately asked to use the bathroom. He was told to wait.

Flight attendant Robyn Pascoe, who appearing in count on Monday, claims that Tabberner then threatened to "p--- on the floor" if he wasn't allowed to go, but she still refused.

Later, just a few moments after take-off, Pascoe says she used the bathroom herself - the captain had given the OK for the flight crew to move about the cabin - but as soon as she exited, Tabberner was waiting outside the door.

"I went to the toilet but when I came out he was waiting trying to get in," said Pasco. "I told him he had to go back to his seat as the seat belt signs were still on, but he kept saying, 'You have been to the toilet, so why can't I?'

"It was a confined area and he was waving his arms around aggressively and shouting. I felt terrified," she added. "I have experienced rowdy behavior on flights before but nothing like this in seven years."

Tabberner eventually returned to his seat, but not before another flight attendant took note of Pascoe's plight and informed the pilot. The plane was then diverted back to Birmingham.

Pasco further claimed that Tabberner's behavior gave her such anxiety, that she ultimately quit her job after seven years in the air.

Tabberner, meanwhile, told the judge that he was he was simply "dying to go to the toilet" and "literally bursting" as soon as he set foot on the plane, but was denied use the bathroom during boarding. He denied being aggressive toward Pascoe, and simply stated that he was "upset and confused" when he was told he needed to return to his seat.

Tabberner also claimed that he apologized to his fellow passengers once the captain announced that the plane was heading back to Birmingham. He and his friends were escorted off the aircraft by police, the Birmingham Mail reported.
