A famed explorer who went missing while attempting to film a documentary about a remote tribe in Papua New Guinea has been spotted near an airstrip, Jo Sarsby stated an evacuation was being planned to rescue Benedict Allen, 57, who set out alone in the jungle three weeks ago to make a documentary with neither a satellite phone nor a GPS in an effort to find a tribe of headhunting indigenous people he’d discovered roughly 30 years ago.

A famed explorer who went missing while attempting to film a documentary about a remote tribe in Papua New Guinea has been spotted near an airstrip, his agent told The BBC on Thursday.

Jo Sarsby stated an evacuation was being planned to rescue Benedict Allen, 57, who set out alone in the jungle three weeks ago to make a documentary with neither a satellite phone nor a GPS in an effort to find a tribe of headhunting indigenous people he'd discovered roughly 30 years ago.

"Confirmation on exact location coordinates are now being confirmed in order to arrange evacuation as soon as possible," she said.

She said Allen was "safe, well and healthy," and she'd recieved an update through Keith Copley, the coordinating director for New Tribe Mission in Papua New Guinea. Copley informed Sarsby Allen was seen 20 miles north west of Porgera.

The explorer's family was fearing the worst after he missed his pick up out of the jungle, and he missed a flight to Hong Kong to deliver a speech at the Royal Geographical Society on Tuesday.

"He never caught the plane and that is very out of character for him really because he has it all organised," his older sister, Katie Pestille told The Daily Mail. "He was going with a local guide to a remote part of Papua New Guinea to try to track down this tribe that he had been with 20 or 30 years ago to reconnect with them. I have not heard from him in about three weeks and I was expecting something from him on Sunday or Monday and then I got an email from my sister-in-law yesterday saying he had not got on his flight."

According to the Telegraph, Allen, a father of three, was attempting to track down the Yaifo tribe, one of the few left on Earth not to have regular contact with the outside world.

"Last time, the Yaifo 'greeted' me with a terrifying show of strength, an energetic dance featuring their bows and arrows," he said in a September blog post outlining his plans. "On this occasion who knows if the Yaifo will do the same, or run off, or be wearing jeans and T shirts traded eons ago from the old mission station."

Before setting off on his journey, Allen tweeted a message to the world suggesting they not worry about his whereabouts.

"Marching off to Heathrow. I may be some time (don't try to rescue me, please - where I'm going in PNG you won't ever find me you know...)"

This isn't the first time that Allen went missing in the wild. The explorer, whose career spans six TV series for the BBC, was previously out of communication for three months. At one point, he even had to eat his own dog in order to survive.

A huge storm hit in the Sierra Nevada mountains, bringing about 30 inches of snow. In Oregon's Cascade Mountains approximately 5 feet of snow occurred this past week. The storm is supposed to bring heavy rain to the Midwest and Northeast at the beginning of next week.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Almost 3 feet of snow has fallen over the past 48 hours in the Sierra Nevada mountains in a storm expected to dump heavy rain on the Midwest and Northeast to start next week.

The Sierra Nevada in California has seen 30 inches of snow since Wednesday. Oregon's Cascades Mountains have seen heavy snow in the past week, with 5 feet of snow on the ground -- the highest snowpack ever recorded this early in the season.

As the storm moves through the Rockies and into the western plains, watches and warnings have been extended from California to Oklahoma and up into the northern plains.

The storm system is moving out of California on Friday and moving through the Rockies with heavy snow expected.

As the storm moves into the Midwest and Tennessee Valley, strong to possibly severe storms could develop on Saturday. The biggest threat with these storms will be damaging winds, and possibly tornadoes.

By Saturday evening, the storm system moves into the Northeast with heavy rain and wind from Washington, D.C. to Boston. Delays at major airports in the region are likely due to the gusty winds and low visibility.

Additional snowfall is forecast for the west through the next 24 hours, with up to 2 feet of snow possible in Colorado, and additional 6 to 12 inches is still possible for the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The storm system will also bring snow to the Great Lakes and inland Northeast due to the cold air moving over the relatively warm Great Lakes. Some areas could see several inches from Wisconsin to New York state.

Behind the storm system, much colder air and gusty winds will cover the eastern half of the United States, with freezing wind chills to kick off the Thanksgiving holiday week.

South Carolina Women´s basketball team declined white houses invite.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

The South Carolina women's basketball team will not be attending the White House celebration of collegiate champions Friday.

According to ESPN, President Donald Trump invited South Carolina, among other teams that won titles last year in various sports, but head coach Dawn Staley declined.

"We did hear from the White House about attending tomorrow's event, but we will not be able to attend," Staley said in a statement. "As I've been saying since our practices for this season started, all of our focus is on the season ahead. The only invitation we are thinking about is to the 2018 NCAA tournament."

South Carolina won its first national championship last April with a win over Mississippi State in the title game. Staley, who spent a decade in the WNBA and won three Olympic gold medals as a player, said in May she would have no problem meeting with Trump if given the opportunity.

By September, however, she had still not received the invite.

"We haven't gotten an invitation yet and that in itself speaks volumes," Staley said, per Doug Feinberg of the Associated Press. "We won before those other teams won their championships. I don't know what else has to happen."

With the 2017-18 season now underway, the coach doesn't believe there is time for any more distractions.

The Gamecocks are currently 3-0 and have a home matchup against Wofford on Sunday.

Married science teacher, Hunter Day, was arrested yesterday for having a sexual relationship with a student.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A married teacher in Oklahoma was arrested Wednesday, accused of having a sexual relationship with an underage student.

Hunter Day, 22, a science teacher at Yukon High School, was arrested by the Canadian County Sheriff's Department on complaints of second-degree rape, facilitating sexual contact with a minor and possession of child pornography, KWTV reported. She is reportedly married to the school's football coach.

Authorities said they investigated the relationship after being notified by the boy's parents and finding explicit photos and messages on his phone, the report said.
EX-COLORADO TEACHER SENTENCED FOR SEX ASSAULT OF MINOR: REPORT
On the day of the arrest, the sheriff's department said that Day and the teen had planned to meet at her house, KWTV reported. Deputies arrived at the residence and reportedly texted the teacher from the boy's phone saying he'd arrived. Day responded to the message saying, "The doors [sic] unlocked as usual," the report said.

When investigators entered the home, Day was sitting on the floor of her living room with candles lit and all of the lights off, authorities said. She was also reportedly wearing a Christmas cat T-shirt and workout shorts.

The teacher confessed to sending the boy illicit "bra and panty" photos and said he'd also sent her photos of his genitals, KWTV reported.

"I'm no longer surprised by the people who commit these crimes, because predators come from all walks of life," Canadian County Sheriff Chris West told the outlet.
YOGA TEACHER SAYS HE TOUCHED 6-YEAR-OLD BECAUSE 'HE IS A CUTE CHILD,' REPORT SAYS
"This is a classic case of a serious breach of public trust," he said. "Schoolteachers are entrusted to protect and educate our children, not to engage in an unlawful sexual relationship with them."

According to a statement released on Twitter, administrators from the high school said "the safety and well-being of our students is our number one priority," and there was no indication in Day's record that she would make such a "very poor decision."

The school said it was working with authorities in their investigation and couldn't discuss details of the case, according to the post.

Day was incarcerated at the Canadian County Jail and bond was set for $85,000, KWTV reported.

A total of 210,000 gallons of oil leaked from the Keystone pipeline in South Dakota on Thursday

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Crews shut down the pipeline Thursday morning, and officials are investigating the cause of the leak, which occurred about three miles southeast of the town of Amherst, said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the state's Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

This is the largest Keystone oil spill to date in South Dakota, Walsh said. The leak comes just days before Nebraska officials announce a decision on whether the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, a sister project, can move forward.

In April 2016, there was a 400-barrel release -- or 16,800 gallons -- with the majority of the oil cleanup completed in two months, Walsh said. About 5,000 barrels of oil spilled Thursday.

"It is a below-ground pipeline, but some oil has surfaced above ground to the grass," Walsh said. "It will be a few days until they can excavate and get in borings to see if there is groundwater contamination."

There were no initial reports of the oil spill affecting waterways, water systems or wildlife, he said.

The pipeline was shut down "within minutes" of the company discovering an irregularity, TransCanada said Friday. The spill has been controlled, the company said, with no further environmental impacts observed and no threat to public safety.

TransCanada said it was working with state and federal agencies.

"The safety of the public and environment are our top priorities and we will continue to provide updates as they become available," the company said.

The Environmental Protection Agency is monitoring the situation and will provide resources and assistance if needed, a spokesman said.

"EPA is aware of the spill and is receiving periodic updates from the state of South Dakota, which is overseeing response activity at the spill site," he said.

Concerns about the spill

The Keystone Pipeline system stretches more than 2,600 miles, from Hardisty, Alberta, east into Manitoba and then south to Texas, according to TransCanada. The pipeline transports crude oil from Canada.

The proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, which would stretch from Hardisty to Steele City, Nebraska, would complete the proposed system by cutting through Montana and South Dakota.

The sections of pipeline affected stretch from Hardisty to Cushing, Oklahoma, and to Wood River, Illinois, the company said.

The spill occurred in the same county as part of the Lake Traverse Reservation. The leak location is not on Sioux property, but it is adjacent to it and has historical value, said Dave Flute, tribal chairman for Sisseton Wahpeton Sioux Tribe.

"We want to know how long is it going to take to dig this plume of contaminated soil and how can we be reassured, without a doubt, that it has not and will not seep into the aquifer," he said.

Flute, along with the tribal emergency management director and the manager of the tribal office of environmental protection, arrived Friday morning at the staging area of the leak site to meet with representatives from TransCanada. Flute said he was out there to offer assistance and to understand the cause of the leak and the environmental impacts it might pose.

"We want to find out, was there a crack in the pipe? We don't know. We want to get that information," Flute said. "More importantly, and to stay positive, they did clean up the site, they did contain it."

Environmental activist group Greenpeace said the spill shows the new pipeline in Nebraska should not be approved.

"The Nebraska Public Service Commission needs to take a close look at this spill," said Rachel Rye Butler of Greenpeace. "A permit approval allowing Canadian oil company TransCanada to build Keystone XL is a thumbs-up to likely spills in the future."

New Keystone XL

In March, President Donald Trump's administration officially issued a permit that approved construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

The approval followed years of intense debate over the pipeline amid hefty opposition from environmental groups, who argued the pipeline supports the extraction of crude oil from oil sands, which pumps about 17% more greenhouse gases than standard crude oil extraction. Environmentalists also opposed the pipeline because it would cut across the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the world's largest underground deposits of fresh water.

Tar sands oil is much thicker and stickier than traditional oil, significantly complicating cleanup efforts. The fact it's thicker also means it needs to be combined with other hazardous materials to allow it to be transported in pipelines.

Native American groups have argued the pipeline would cut across their sovereign lands.

Trump said the new pipeline will be a big win for American workers, but critics say it won't be, because most of the jobs would be temporary.

Dakota Access Pipeline

TransCanada said Thursday that the section of the Keystone Pipeline that was leaking was isolated within 15 minutes after a drop in pressure was detected.

According to the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources' website, this is the third pipeline spill in the state this year. Another came in April when about 84 gallons of crude oil leaked from the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline in Spink County.

That pipeline, which runs through both Dakotas and two other states, drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota, the tribe's allies and environmentalists.

Opposition to the pipeline sparked monthslong protests, with as many as 10,000 people participating during the peak of the demonstrations. Clashes with police at the protests turned violent at times, with one woman nearly losing her arm after an explosion last November.

CNN's Eric Levenson and Deanna Hackney contributed to this report.

House of democrats introduces documents of impeachment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee, introduced five articles of impeachment that include obstruction of justice for Trump's decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey, two emoluments clause violations, undermining the independence of the federal judiciary and undermining the freedom of the press.

"The time has come to make clear to the American people and to this President that his train of injuries to our Constitution must be brought to an end through impeachment," he said.

Cohen, the ranking member on the House judiciary committee's Constitution subcommittee, acknowledged the limitations of his proposal.

"I don't expect the House judiciary committee, which is operated like a branch of the administration, to take up hearings," he said.

He told members of the press he would likely be facilitating briefings in lieu of hearings.

"There are many reasons why I think the President is an awful President, an awful person, but not all those reasons rise to the level of impeaching a sitting President. We are not seeking his impeachment because of what he did before he was President," Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, D-Illinois, one of the bill's co-sponsors, said beside Cohen.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders responded in a statement, saying time spent calling for Trump's impeachment "would be better spent focusing on tax relief for American families and businesses."

"It's disappointing that extremists in Congress still refuse to accept the President's decisive victory in last year's election," she said.

Michael Ahrens, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, called the impeachment effort "radical."

"House Democrats lack a positive message and are completely unwilling to work across the aisle, so instead they've decided to support a baseless radical effort that the vast majority of Americans disagree with," he said.

This isn't the first time Democrats have argued to impeach Trump. Earlier this month, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, said the President has committed "significant constitutional impeachable violations," adding that Democrats needed to act.

Senate judiciary committee requests more information on Kushner.  Senate judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and ranking member Dianne Feinstein sent a letter Thursday requesting more information on President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner related to his security clearance and questions over whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 election.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The two senators specifically requested "transcripts from other committee interviews, additional documents from previous requests, communications with (former national security adviser) Michael Flynn and documents related to his security clearance," according to their statement.

Grassley, an Iowa Republican, and Feinstein, a California Democrat, sent a letter to Kushner's attorney, Abbe Lowell, requesting he provide access to the transcripts from Kushner's interviews with other congressional committees.

They wrote there are missing documents, such as emails to Kushner on WikiLeaks and a "Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite" that Kushner forwarded to another campaign official.

The two senators also requested all communications related to Flynn's termination as national security adviser and any emails between the two that contain keywords such as "Clinton," "WikiLeaks" and "Putin."

Finally, the senators requested documents related to Flynn's security clearance. They said the deadline to produce the documents is November 27.

Kushner's attorney -- who was in court Thursday representing New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez on unrelated corruption charges -- did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.

The spotlight over Kushner's security clearance form has become a focus in the Russia investigation as congressional committees try to determine whether any inappropriate meetings or contacts occurred between Russian officials and Trump associates during the campaign season.

In a statement to Congress in July, Kushner downplayed the significance of those meetings, saying they occurred during the normal course of a campaign and transition period.

"With respect to my contacts with Russia or Russian representatives during the campaign, there were hardly any," Kushner said.

A child reportedly destroyed over $1,000 of makeup at Sephora — and the photos are horrific

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
INSIDER 21 hrs ago dboan@businessinsider.com (Daniel Boan)

- A Sephora shopper shared a picture of a Sephora display that she said was destroyed by a small child.

- She urged parents to leave their children at home when shopping for makeup - which received mixed reactions from commenters.

- The viral reaction was a shock to the shopper, though she never meant for the message to come across as "mom-shaming."

It's enough to make any makeup lover's heart skip a beat: a Sephora display featuring over $1,000 worth of Make Up For Ever eyeshadow testers completely destroyed. That's the sight that recently greeted Sephora shopper and makeup artist Brittney Nelson as she entered a Sephora location in Augusta, Georgia, on Saturday night.

She snapped and shared a photo of the incident with a message urging parents to "shop for your makeup without [their] tiny humans" - which has since gone viral.

Nelson claims in the post that the display was destroyed by a "small child," though she admits that she never actually saw the child do it.

"We walked in right as a lady and her kid were hustling out of there," Nelson told INSIDER. "The glittery footprints helped us decipher it was a tiny human."

Although she was shocked at the sight of it, she says the Sephora employees couldn't have handled the situation any better. "In no time flat they calmed down their panic-mode faces, brought out a cart, whisked away that display, cleaned up the remainder and the floor," Nelson said.

Some people seemed to agree that it was the handiwork of a curious "tiny human," and quickly shared their opinions on the matter.

Parents who not only bring their kids on inappropriate outings but let them run rampant are the worst...look at this, $1300 worth of MUF destroyed by an unattended child a Sephora.😱😱😱 pic.twitter.com/za7B60ocjY

I have 3 small kids. Whenever I go anywhere with them, every two minutes (max!!) I'm doing a head count. That woman whose child ruined the Sephora display is careless & self-absorbed. It's my job to make sure my kids aren't destroying store property. Period.
- Belinda (@belindalaurie) November 15, 2017

Others weren't pleased by the post, claiming that asking parents to leave their children at home while shopping could be considered a form of "mom-shaming."

@Sephora This is not okay, as if it isn't hard enough for a mom to be out in public with her young kids 1) the employees didn't SEE who did this 2) that's a good 4ft up unless this 2yo is the size of a 10yo I doubt it was a "young child."

I've taken my kid many a time with me makeup shopping. The parent in this case was not looking after the kid. Plus, all those employees Sephora have in the store, you're telling me they turned a blind eye to the kid doing this?
- Mari_Shala🇹🇹 (@DP1778) November 15, 2017

I brought my six year old cousin into a Sephora with me. She just tried on the makeup like a normal person :/
Maybe it's more about letting children know that things are not to be destroyed https://t.co/eg6JLoAcCn
- mangu mami (@Gabba_Oddviedo) November 15, 2017

The reaction so far has been a total shock to Nelson, but she's not letting any negativity get her down.

"I woke up to the internet mob of insanity because of my one cranky post," Nelson told us. "I honestly don't think I said anything 99% of people don't think anyway so I'm not that devastated by the hurricane of it."

The post has certainly sparked an interesting discussion around parenting and whether it's OK to bring small children into a store with expensive items. However, Nelson wants to make it clear that she is "not mom-shaming or kid hating in the least," although this kind of incident is something she's seen often while working in retail.

"I've seen messed up testers a gazillion times throughout the years from tiny humans," she told INSIDER.

And if she ever sees a child acting recklessly in a store, she won't be afraid to step in. "If I do see a kid doing that in a store I will just offer to help the mom out," she said. "That's what us moms do!"

INSIDER has reached out to Sephora for comment.

Here's Nelson's full Facebook post:

"$1300 of Make Up Forever eye shadow destroyed at Sephora tonight due to a small child. I'm sure he/she thought they were like finger paints and had no idea how naughty they were being. Tons of destroyed product and pissed Sephora cast members are a not a happy place to be. Mammas, please shop for your makeup without your tiny humans. It's not fun for you...or them...or the expensive product. Anna Heath and I about passed out when we saw this atrocity. Being me, I've needed to bring Allie into many makeup stores as she's grown and had a strict 'hands in pockets' rule for her and a strict 10-minute rule for me. It was very helpful so if you must take your kiddos makeup shopping I suggest trying it.

This massive demolished palette makes me. Makeup should always make me.

*It looked 100X worse in real life and I don't work for Sephora. I was just walking in as the mom/kid were hustling out of there."

A woman from Scotland makes customized dog beds out of old dresses.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These aren't your typical dog beds. Behold the "Sheltie shacks."

Kaylee Robertson, an emergency medical technician from Shetland, Scotland, makes custom, personalized dog beds out of old dressers.

She said she likes to "provide pets with their own little 'safe haven' that they can sleep happy in."

"Let's be honest, your typical dog bed is pretty ugly!" Robertson, 27, wrote to ABC News in an email. "They're normally these limp, dull, lifeless, smelly things that just lie in the corner. My hope is that by providing a bed which is also a piece of furniture, the dog is introduced more into the living area."

She said her Sheltie shacks have also proven great for more nervous pets who feel more secure in the cave-like bed.

Robertson said she makes only about 30 a year because she likes doing "quality" work and doesn't want to "shove something shoddy together."

"Every bed is completely deconstructed, sanded down and re-backed," she explained. "I also put on several coats of high-quality base coat before even thinking about the top coat. This should be something that lasts, and more importantly, a piece that people are happy to display as the centerpiece of the room."

An owner of seven dogs and two cats herself, Robertson said she has made the beds primarily for dogs, but they can be used for all pets.

"I've had an order for a bunny in the past!," she wrote. "I'm limited to the size of the shack depending on the cabinet I convert from but, honestly, I've pretty much provided for every shape of pup so far from Chihuahuas to pugs to border collies! Although, I haven't yet managed one for a St. Bernard. That's my dream!"

Every single shack is "bespoke," she explained, so when it's purchased, Robertson said she contacts the owner to find out exactly how they want to personalize it -- from the paint color and wallpaper inside right down to the knobs.

"It's great fun and I absolutely love seeing what people come up with!," she said.

As an emergency medical technician, Robertson said making the beds are therapeutic for her after "some pretty horrific days."

"Having some time to clear my head with a hammer or a paintbrush has been great," she told ABC News.

Although Robertson lives on a small island off the coast of Scotland, she said she's willing to ship anywhere in the world.

She also said she donates all of her proceeds to charity.

"Most people don't realize that this is a charity project," she said. "I don't make anything from this. In fact I actually take a loss because I don't take money out for the materials. I'm constantly asked, 'Why don't you just take the money for yourself?' and it makes me sad.

"Yeah sure, I'm not driving around in a Ferrari and I don't have my own private jet, but we're OK," she added. "We have a roof over our heads, food in the fridge and a comfortable bed to lie in, and that does us fine! My gain is in the thought that when I press that "donate" button on our charities' websites, that some wee soul will be given the lifesaving treatment they need to get better. No amount of money in my back pocket can beat that feeling."

Popeye the Sailor Man, alongside his true love Olive Oyl and archnemesis Bluto, has been amazing audiences for generations. For nearly 90 years, Popeye's most recognizable physical characteristic has been his impressive forearms, which he credits to the consumption of canned spinach.

The distinct, exaggerated muscle protrusion is so closely associated with the comic strip character that a relatively uncommon medical condition is named after him.

"Popeye" sign occurs when one of the tendons that connects the biceps to the shoulder tears, partially or completely, resulting in a visible bulge of the muscle underneath the skin. A classic presentation was published today in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Dr. Naoki Yoshida, who submitted the photograph, said that when he first saw this patient, he immediately became excited.

"It is exactly the same as what I saw in the textbook," said Yoshida, a young orthopedic surgeon at Shonan Kamakura General Hospital in Japan. "I knew without taking an MRI or X-ray."

But, he said, "The affected part was actually soft and pillowy, not hard muscle like Popeye."

Yoshida said the 79-year-old man "tried to lift a rather light cardboard box at home and felt sharp pain" in his shoulder. He looked down and right away saw a bulge on his upper left arm.

"A physical examination revealed an obvious deformity in the anterior mid-upper arm that became more pronounced during elbow flexion," when the joint bends, Yoshida wrote in the Journal. "Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the shoulder revealed a complete rupture of the long head of the biceps tendon."

Dr. Elizabeth Matzkin, an orthopedic surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, estimates that she sees "Popeye" sign at least once a week at her busy sports medicine practice.

"Most people come in because they went to lift something heavy and they hear and feel a pop in their upper arm, and they feel pain in their biceps," she said. "But what usually worries them more is the next day, they have a lot of bruising in that area."

Matzkin, who is also a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, explained that there are two heads of the proximal biceps tendon, and the long head ruptures far more frequently than the short head.

"The proximal tendon is like a rope," she said. "Over time and with use, you can fray and wear down the rope."

It's no surprise, then, that "Popeye" sign is usually seen in people 55 and older, though some serious tennis players and golfers may experience a biceps tendon tear at a younger age. When those athletes are in pain, Matzkin said, sometimes a rupture "may actually ease their pain, and they may feel even better." Because the biceps muscle is connected to the shoulder by two tendons, losing one connection does not typically result in a significant loss of strength.

"Occasionally, patients will need physical therapy," she said, "but by the time they come back in four to six weeks, they're feeling better."

Physical therapy was just what the doctor ordered in the case of another man with "Popeye" sign. Internal medicine physician Dr. Jorge Scheirer co-authored a 2013 entry in the Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives that highlighted the case of a 72-year-old man with "a history of bilateral rotator cuff tears" -- a risk factor for tendon tears.

Scheirer, who is now vice president and chief medical information officer at Tower Health in Pennsylvania, said he's seen four or five cases of "Popeye" sign in his 20-year career.

The best treatment for most patients, he said, is RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

Both Scheirer and Matzkin said proximal tendon tears can almost always be treated without surgery. An operation would primarily address cosmetic concerns but leave behind a visible scar.

Tears to the distal tendon, which connects the biceps muscle to the elbow, are more rare but usually result in greater disability and need to be reattached with a surgical procedure.

Scheirer said some patients require painkillers, but he avoids prescribing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs -- such as aspirin and ibuprofen -- to older patients whenever possible. Studies have linked NSAIDs with increased risk of heart attack, especially in older adults.

Considering his patient's age and medical needs, Yoshida advised against surgery but did recommended pain relievers. The medication worked, and the man's pain dissipated in a matter of months. His arm still looks the same, but he's OK with that.

In the immortal words of Popeye: "I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam."

Correction: This story has been revised to correct the spelling of Dr. Matzkin's name.

A married teacher in Oklahoma was arrested Wednesday, accused of having a sexual relationship with an underage student.

Hunter Day, 22, a science teacher at Yukon High School, was arrested by the Canadian County Sheriff's Department on complaints of second-degree rape, facilitating sexual contact with a minor and possession of child pornography, KWTV reported. She is reportedly married to the school's football coach.

Authorities said they investigated the relationship after being notified by the boy's parents and finding explicit photos and messages on his phone, the report said.

On the day of the arrest, the sheriff's department said that Day and the teen had planned to meet at her house, KWTV reported. Deputies arrived at the residence and reportedly texted the teacher from the boy's phone saying he'd arrived. Day responded to the message saying, "The doors [sic] unlocked as usual," the report said.

When investigators entered the home, Day was sitting on the floor of her living room with candles lit and all of the lights off, authorities said. She was also reportedly wearing a Christmas cat T-shirt and workout shorts.

The teacher confessed to sending the boy illicit "bra and panty" photos and said he'd also sent her photos of his genitals, KWTV reported.

"I'm no longer surprised by the people who commit these crimes, because predators come from all walks of life," Canadian County Sheriff Chris West told the outlet.

"This is a classic case of a serious breach of public trust," he said. "Schoolteachers are entrusted to protect and educate our children, not to engage in an unlawful sexual relationship with them."

According to a statement released on Twitter, administrators from the high school said "the safety and well-being of our students is our number one priority," and there was no indication in Day's record that she would make such a "very poor decision."

The school said it was working with authorities in their investigation and couldn't discuss details of the case, according to the post.

Day was incarcerated at the Canadian County Jail and bond was set for $85,000, KWTV reported.

The wealthiest Norwegian woman, Katharina G. Andresen, was given a $30,400 fine for drunken driving.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 22-year-old Norwegian student has been handed a $30,400 fine for drunken driving - but can still count herself lucky.

Katharina G. Andresen is reportedly Norway's richest woman, with a fortune estimated by Forbes at $1.23 billion.

Fines for drunken driving in Norway are based on the defendant's income. Newspaper Finansavisen reported that Oslo City Court said the penalty could have been up to $4.9 million if based on Andresen's assets, but they "have not yielded any dividend yet" and she has no fixed income. The court did increase the fine because of her estimated wealth, however.

Andresen was also banned from driving for 13 months.

Andresen's father gave her a 42-percent share in the family-owned investment company in 2007, leading Forbes to declare her the world's second-youngest billionaire.

In Belgrade, Serbia American and Serbian paratroopers held joint military exercises. The exercises were executed on Friday in Serbia. These exercises made Russia uneasy as Serbia is military neutral. The exercises took four days. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic addressed the exercises with words of hope, "I believe that we will improve (our relations) in the future. Serbia will, understandably, jealously preserve its military neutrality."

American and Serbian paratroopers have held joint exercises in Serbia, watched with unease by Russia, which is trying to increase its influence in the Balkans.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic attended the last day of the 4-day drills on Friday that included joint jumps by Serbian and U.S. parachutists from two U.S. Air Force C-130J Hercules transport planes close to the Serbian capital, Belgrade.

Vucic said that "the joint exercise contributes to the (military) skills, but also enhances partnership and friendship that was not always seen in the past."

American or NATO-related military activities in the Balkans regularly trigger anger by the Kremlin, which opposes the Western military alliance's expansion in the former communist eastern Europe.

Serbia, which tries to politically balance between Russia and the West, claims military neutrality.

Wes Goodman, anti-LGBTQ+ Ohio Republican state legislator, resigns after being caught having sex with a man in his office. He has consistently expressed his Christian faith and believe that "natural marriage" is between a man and a woman. He is married to Beth Goodman and has confirmed that this event occurred.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An Ohio Republican state legislator who consistently touts his faith and his anti-LGBT stances resigned this week after being caught having sex with a man in his office.

Representative Wes Goodman, who is married, was reportedly seen by someone who is not a staffer having sex with a man inside his Riffe Center office. The witness told Ohio House Chief of Staff Mike Dittoe of the situation early Tuesday afternoon, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

Dittoe told House Speaker Republican Cliff Rosenberger, who met with Goodman. Shortly after the meeting, Goodman resigned due to "inappropriate conduct."

This comes as a surprise to many constituents, because Goodman has consistently spoken about "natural marriage" being between a man and a woman. His campaign website, which is now offline, outlined his views on family: "Healthy, vibrant, thriving, values-driven families are the source of Ohio's proud history and the key to Ohio's future greatness. The ideals of a loving father and mother, a committed natural marriage, and a caring community are well worth pursuing and protecting."

Goodman's twitter bio describes him as: "Christian. American. Conservative. Republican. Husband to @Beth1027." His tweets are protected and his account is private. His Facebook page has been taken offline.

Rosenberger told cleveland.com that the interaction was between Goodman and a person not employed by the legislature, and that it happened several months ago but was brought to his attention only recently.

"I was alerted to details yesterday afternoon regarding his involvement in inappropriate behavior related to his state office," Rosenberger said in a statement to the Columbus Dispatch. "I met with him later in the day where he acknowledged and confirmed the allegations. It became clear that his resignation was the most appropriate course of action for him, his family, the constituents of the 87th House District and this institution."

There have been no charges or complaints of sexual harassment filed.

Goodman said in a statement to the Columbus Dispatch: "We all bring our own struggles and our own trials into public life. That has been true for me, and I sincerely regret that my actions and choices have kept me from serving my constituents and our state in a way that reflects the best ideals of public service. For those whom I have let down, I'm sorry. As I move onto the next chapter of my life, I sincerely ask for privacy for myself, my family, and my friends."

He is the second state lawmaker in Ohio to resign in the past month after inappropriate actions came to light. Former Republican state Senator Cliff Hite resigned last month after he allegedly made sexual propositions to a state employee multiple times.

Fate of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock's millions to be decided in court.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Stephen Paddock's estimated $5 million empire - including money he won from gambling and profits he made in real estate - is up for grabs Friday, as a court decides how the Las Vegas shooter's wealth is to be split up.

Attorney Craig Eiland, who is representing some of the victims, has filed paperwork demanding a "constructive trust" be formed to handle Paddock's assets.

Paddock's brother, Eric Paddock, has already indicated the $5 million fortune should go to the victims of the Oct. 1 massacre, KLAS reported. But an attorney who represents Paddock's family -- and is trying to be named administrator of the estate -- is also representing the father of one of the shooting victims, Eiland said, a conflict of interest that is "over the top." Eiland is on a team of lawyers who've filed an objection to block the attorney from taking control of the money.

"I'd like to get the estate, all of the estate, for just my clients. But that's just not the right thing to do," Eiland said. "We want to make sure all lawyers and their victims have that right and it's an open and transparent process."

The Las Vegas Victims' Fund committee also announced Thursday it plans to hold two town hall meetings to discuss the distribution of funds raised for victims, according to FOX5 Las Vegas.

A draft protocol put forward by the 16-member group, made up of community representatives, said claims for death, paralysis and permanent brain damage "will receive the highest level of payment." Next will be injury claims for those who required hospitalization.
LAS VEGAS SHOOTING VICTIMS FILE MORE LAWSUITS, PRESS FOR ANSWERS
The group currently has access to around $14 million from GoFundMe donations, the National Compassion Fund and a Nevada State Bank account, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Meanwhile, at Mandalay Bay - the Las Vegas Strip resort and casino where Paddock staged the massacre - security is being beefed up in a bid to prevent potential future incidents and to reassure hotel guests.

Workers there who spoke anonymously to a local newspaper said the hotel recently has set up permanent guard posts next to the elevators leading to rooms. MGM Resorts on Thursday confirmed the move.

"Our team works around the clock to protect the safety of our guests and facilities, and our procedures are always improving and evolving," the owner of Mandalay Bay said in a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "To that end, we have determined that positioning 24-hour security at the elevator banks improves our surveillance capabilities and enhances security for all of our guests and facilities."

Guests looking to get on the elevators now must show their room keys. Previously, guards were only stationed at the elevator banks for major events, workers told the Review-Journal.

The added security comes despite reports Paddock used a different elevator - the hotel's service elevator -- to transport an arsenal of weapons to his suite on the 32nd floor in the lead-up to the attack. On Oct. 1, he fired out of the window down onto the crowds at a country music festival below, killing 58 and injuring hundreds.
PADDOCK LOST SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY BEFORE ATTACK, POLICE SAY
The massacre has also put a dent into the hotel's business, resulting in layoffs, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

"We have disclosed publicly that occupancy this year at Mandalay Bay will be slightly lower than normal," Alan M. Feldman, MGM's Executive Vice President of Global Industry Affairs, told the newspaper. "We are trying to handle this with the least possible interruption to our employee's schedules, but in some cases, reduced schedules may not be sufficient. We are striving to impact as few employees as possible."

Debra DeShong, the company's vice president of global industry affairs, said several hundred employees are being affected.

MGM CEO Jim Murren told a recent conference call with financial analysts the company's business slumped in the wake of the attack.

Murren said there was a spike in non-group cancellations in October, the Las Vegas Sun reported.

"Of course, our bookings declined immediately after Oct. 1 because we were suspending our outbound marketing programs and focusing on what mattered -- taking care of victims, their families, first responders, our employees and all the guests that are here," Murren said, adding an optimistic note: "We've seen bookings improve, our business improve, here in November."

"Slaughter bots" is a film that show the horrors of killer drones. Autonomous drones use facial recognition to complete untraceable massacres. The seven minute video was made to build global support against Autonomous weapons systems.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Perhaps the most nightmarish, dystopian film of 2017 didn't come from Hollywood. Autonomous weapons critics, led by a college professor, put together a horror show.

It's a seven-minute video, a collaboration between University of California-Berkeley professor Stuart Russell and the Future of Life Institute that shows a future in which palm-sized, autonomous drones use facial recognition technology and on-board explosives to commit untraceable massacres.

The film is the researchers' latest attempt to build support for a global ban on autonomous weapon systems, which kill without meaningful human control.

They released the video to coincide with meetings the United Nations' Convention on Conventional Weapons is holding this week in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss autonomous weapons.

"We have an opportunity to prevent the future you just saw, but the window to act is closing fast," said Russell, an artificial intelligence professor, at the film's conclusion. "Allowing machines to choose to kill humans will be devastating to our security and freedom."

In the film, thousands of college students are killed in attacks at a dozen universities after drones swarm campuses. Some of the drones first attach to buildings, blowing holes in walls so other drones can enter and hunt down specific students. A similar scene is shown at the U.S. Capitol, where a select group of Senators were killed.

Such atrocities aren't possible today, but given the trajectory of tech's development, that will change in the future. The researchers warn that several powerful nations are moving toward autonomous weapons, and if one nation deploys such weapons, it may trigger a global arms race to keep up.

Related: Futuristic cop cars may identify suspects

Because of these concerns, top artificial intelligence researchers have spent several years calling for a ban on autonomous weapons, which are sometimes called "killer robots." The researchers warn that one day terrorists may be able to buy and use such drones to easily kill in huge numbers.

"A $25 million order now buys this, enough to kill half a city," a defense contractor in the film describes as swarms of tiny drones fly out of a cargo plane.

The film is a sensationalistic turn in the approaches autonomous weapons critics have used to push for a ban. In the past, they relied on open letters and petitions with academic language. In 2015, thousands of AI and robotics researchers joined tech leaders such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking in calling for a ban on offensive autonomous weapons. That letter spoke of "armed quadcopters," while this week's video warns of "slaughterbots."

Earlier this month, leading artificial intelligence researchers in Canada and Australia called on their governments to support a ban on lethal autonomous weapon systems.

This week's new approach appears to be the result of the apparent gravity of the situation. This summer, a report from Harvard University's Belfer Center warned that weapons using artificial intelligence will be as transformative as nuclear weapons.

Tesla unveiled its new semi-truck, which can go zero-to-60 in five seconds with an empty trailer. Tesla also revealed an all-new version of its Roadster sports car that can go from a stop to 60 miles an hour in 1.9 seconds.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You'll often hear automakers brag of a sports car's zero-to-60 performance but less often for a big-rig truck. On Thursday night, Tesla boasted of both.

Tesla revealed an all-new version of its Roadster sports car that can go from a stop to 60 miles an hour in 1.9 seconds, a figure that would make it the fastest-accelerating production car ever.

That was after Tesla unveiled its new semi-truck, which CEO Elon Musk said can go zero-to-60 in five seconds with an empty trailer. That's a figure usually associated with luxury sedans, not big trucks.

With a full load, the truck can still reach that speed in 20 seconds, according to Musk, much faster than any diesel-powered truck.

Related: An Elon Musk email from May is making people upset

Only after talking about the truck's speed did Musk mention its range. It can go up to 500 miles with a full load at highway speeds, he said.

That's more than twice the distance of most trucking routes, Musk claimed, allowing a driver to make a round trip before recharging. A 300-mile version will also be available.

But truck drivers may still have some reservations.

Regardless of whether Musk is right about the typical length of trucking routes, 500 miles is still far less than diesel trucks can travel. And diesel fuel tanks can be refilled much more quickly than batteries can be recharged

The Roadster will have a range of 620 miles and a top speed of over 250 miles an hour. That would put it, at least, near the 261 mile-an-hour top speed of the $3 million Bugatti Chiron.

The Roadster will also be able to run a quarter mile from stop in 8.8 seconds, Tesla said. For comparison, the 840-horsepower Dodge Challenger Demon, a single-seat car engineered specifically for drag racing, manages it in just under 10 seconds.

Unlike the previous version of the Roadster, Tesla's first model which went out of production in 2012, this car will have four seats.

The Roadster will cost $200,000 and a $50,000 deposit will be required to reserve one.

It is not clear yet what the final price of the truck will be.

The semi's drive systems are guaranteed to last for 1 million miles, Tesla said. Thanks to the low cost of running it, buyers should make back the additional cost in just two years, Tesla claimed.

Inside the Tesla semi's cab, the driver is seated in the center -- rather than on the left or right -- with a large touch screen on each side.

Without a large diesel engine, the driver will have a roomier cab than in other trucks, Tesla said. The truck will also have an enhanced version of Tesla's semi-autonomous driving system, AutoPilot.

In South Dakota, the keystone pipeline leaked 210,000 gallons of oil. The pipeline was shut down Thursday morning.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Crews shut down the pipeline Thursday morning, and officials are investigating the cause of the leak, which occurred about three miles southeast of the town of Amherst, said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the state's Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

This is the largest Keystone oil spill to date in South Dakota, Walsh said. The leak comes just days before Nebraska officials announce a decision on whether the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, a sister project, can move forward.

In April 2016, there was a 400-barrel release -- or 16,800 gallons -- with the majority of the oil cleanup completed in two months, Walsh said. About 5,000 barrels of oil spilled Thursday.

"It is a below-ground pipeline, but some oil has surfaced above ground to the grass," Walsh said. "It will be a few days until they can excavate and get in borings to see if there is groundwater contamination."

There were no initial reports of the oil spill affecting waterways, water systems or wildlife, he said.

The pipeline was shut down "within minutes" of the company discovering an irregularity, TransCanada said Friday. The spill has been controlled, the company said, with no further environmental impacts observed and no threat to public safety.

TransCanada said it was working with state and federal agencies.

"The safety of the public and environment are our top priorities and we will continue to provide updates as they become available," the company said.

The Environmental Protection Agency is monitoring the situation and will provide resources and assistance if needed, a spokesman said.

"EPA is aware of the spill and is receiving periodic updates from the state of South Dakota, which is overseeing response activity at the spill site," he said.

Concerns about the spill

The Keystone Pipeline system stretches more than 2,600 miles, from Hardisty, Alberta, east into Manitoba and then south to Texas, according to TransCanada. The pipeline transports crude oil from Canada.

The proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, which would stretch from Hardisty to Steele City, Nebraska, would complete the proposed system by cutting through Montana and South Dakota.

The sections of pipeline affected stretch from Hardisty to Cushing, Oklahoma, and to Wood River, Illinois, the company said.

The spill occurred in the same county as part of the Lake Traverse Reservation. The leak location is not on Sioux property, but it is adjacent to it and has historical value, said Dave Flute, tribal chairman for Sisseton Wahpeton Sioux Tribe.

"We want to know how long is it going to take to dig this plume of contaminated soil and how can we be reassured, without a doubt, that it has not and will not seep into the aquifer," he said.

Flute, along with the tribal emergency management director and the manager of the tribal office of environmental protection, arrived Friday morning at the staging area of the leak site to meet with representatives from TransCanada. Flute said he was out there to offer assistance and to understand the cause of the leak and the environmental impacts it might pose.

"We want to find out, was there a crack in the pipe? We don't know. We want to get that information," Flute said. "More importantly, and to stay positive, they did clean up the site, they did contain it."

Environmental activist group Greenpeace said the spill shows the new pipeline in Nebraska should not be approved.

"The Nebraska Public Service Commission needs to take a close look at this spill," said Rachel Rye Butler of Greenpeace. "A permit approval allowing Canadian oil company TransCanada to build Keystone XL is a thumbs-up to likely spills in the future."

New Keystone XL

In March, President Donald Trump's administration officially issued a permit that approved construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

The approval followed years of intense debate over the pipeline amid hefty opposition from environmental groups, who argued the pipeline supports the extraction of crude oil from oil sands, which pumps about 17% more greenhouse gases than standard crude oil extraction. Environmentalists also opposed the pipeline because it would cut across the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the world's largest underground deposits of fresh water.

Tar sands oil is much thicker and stickier than traditional oil, significantly complicating cleanup efforts. The fact it's thicker also means it needs to be combined with other hazardous materials to allow it to be transported in pipelines.

Native American groups have argued the pipeline would cut across their sovereign lands.

Trump said the new pipeline will be a big win for American workers, but critics say it won't be, because most of the jobs would be temporary.

Dakota Access Pipeline

TransCanada said Thursday that the section of the Keystone Pipeline that was leaking was isolated within 15 minutes after a drop in pressure was detected.

According to the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources' website, this is the third pipeline spill in the state this year. Another came in April when about 84 gallons of crude oil leaked from the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline in Spink County.

That pipeline, which runs through both Dakotas and two other states, drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota, the tribe's allies and environmentalists.

Opposition to the pipeline sparked monthslong protests, with as many as 10,000 people participating during the peak of the demonstrations. Clashes with police at the protests turned violent at times, with one woman nearly losing her arm after an explosion last November.

CNN's Eric Levenson and Deanna Hackney contributed to this report.

"On the other side of that wall, life is very different, very bipolar," Guevara told NBC News. "One day everything is fine. The next day they're all screaming and crying."

Guevara was convicted of being an accomplice in a drug trafficking operation in February and was sent straight to the prison in the San Diego area of Cartagena. "I'm paying the price for the crimes of my ex-boyfriend," Guevara said. "I'm innocent, but the justice system doesn't see it like I do."

Like many of her fellow inmates, she struggled to adapt to prison. "I had a good life on the outside working in the business sector. But I was totally destroyed when I got here," Guevara said. "My dreams were shattered. I spent the first two months in shock and thought my life was over."

She eventually signed up to become a volunteer at the restaurant and now spends most of her evenings on a rotating staff of 15. The restaurant is almost entirely staffed by inmates. They wait tables, work in the kitchen or sell handmade prison products in the lobby.

Five years ago, Bahamón was invited to judge a beauty contest in a real prison and was shocked by the conditions. "Because of the movies, everyone thinks they know what prison life is like," she said. "But the reality is different; I saw their struggle to survive and get through the day."

The San Diego prison has a capacity of 100 inmates, but there are about 150 women currently housed there. There are only five to six cells in the prison, which means that some days there are up to 20 women in a cell.

"There's 120,000 people locked up in Colombia's prison system, and 8 percent of the prison population are women - many are forced to live in dire conditions because of overcrowding," said Bahamón.

Bahamón set up Interno to help inmates prepare for life on the outside but also to challenge the negative public perception about prisoners. "They're instantly judged, but most of them are just human beings who've made mistakes," she said.

"We want to show the public that we deserve a second chance," said Guevara, one of the servers, as she rushed around organizing the bags, cushions and stuffed toys made by her fellow inmates. "This isn't an ordinary restaurant and every woman here has struggled with feelings of guilt and shame, so we're really putting ourselves out there and are proud to wear these uniforms."

San Diego is a minimum-security facility where female prisoners complete the final months of their sentences before they're released. Most of the women are serving time for extortion, drug trafficking, theft or, in some cases, murder.

In the kitchen, three women dressed in checkered aprons were battling stifling heat. The air was hot and sticky but they ignored the humidity as they prepared the food and washed the dishes.

"I love cooking and it's much better to be here than on the other side of these walls," said Karen Paternina, 29, as she cleaned the work surfaces.

Paternina was jailed for extortion in 2016 and was charged with stealing money she was entrusted to transfer on behalf of her clients. "I arrived here with nothing, but now I have a purpose. I'm the chef's assistant and I'm learning how to properly cook," Paternina said.

"When they first met us, they were so shocked," said Guevera. "They'd say 'Wow! You're all prisoners?' But eventually they relax and see we're just normal people and that we're not going to attack anyone."

Spanish Michelin star chef Koldo Miranda trained some of the staff at Interno and his classes have inspired the women to pursue careers in the culinary profession. "They've had the best training and many of them already have jobs in other restaurants," Bahamón said. "They're now earning an honest living and are able to start a new life."

Her foundation Acción Interna (which means internal action) is planning to open a spin-off restaurant called Externa (outside) that will also be staffed by ex-prisoners.

The program has encouraged many of the female prisoners to open their own businesses. "I want to give my daughter Sofía a better life," said Paternina, a kitchen porter. "I'm going to open my own little seafood restaurant when I get out."

As the San Diego prison restaurant dished out meal after meal, many of the current inmates were hoping to bring the setup to other female prisons across Colombia.

"The project is changing so many lives," Guevara said. "We came here with closed minds and in so much pain but the restaurant has helped us recover - we've regained our dignity."
