Texas Governor Shakes Man’s Hand At Airport, Then All Hell Breaks Loose
Texas Governor Greg Abbott was waiting to board his flight home from New York City Tuesday night when he was approached by a random man under the guise that the man just wanted to shake his hand. The governor obliged, then all hell broke loose. Apparently, the man doesn’t agree with Abbott’s support of traditional marriage, and he wanted to make sure the governor and anyone within the terminal heard his opinion loud and clear.

Carson Links Tennessee Attack to Rise of ISIS AbroadHours after the deadly attack on U.S. Marines in Tennessee by a Kuwaiti-born man, GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson linked the massacre to the rise of the Islamic State in the Middle East. “It makes you stop and think about what we’re up against with the radical jihadists, and why we have to have a real strategy for how to eliminate them,” Carson said, moments after leaving a campaign event at a private home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “We need to fight them over there. Because if we don’t fight them over there, we’re going to be fighting them over here.”

Bicyclist seriously injured in crash on Monroe Street
Another bicyclist was hospitalized with serious head injuries after a crash around 4 p.m. Thursday at Monroe Street and York Avenue. “He went flying over my hood,” said Larry Murphy, the driver of the Chevy pickup that collided with the bicyclist while traveling south on Monroe. Murphy said the bicyclist sped into oncoming traffic while traveling west on York, giving him no time to react. The bicyclist slammed into the left headlight of his truck. Cpl. Dave Adams said it appears Murphy is not at fault, and there is no indication he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Adams said the bicyclist, described only as a male, was taken immediately to a local hospital and is expected to survive.
Jury finds Colorado theater shooter James Holmes guilty, eligible for death penalty
A jury has found Colorado theater shooter James Holmes guilty of murder in the methodically planned attack that left 12 dead and dozens wounded. The verdict means the 27-year-old former neuroscience graduate student could get the death penalty for the 2012 shooting.
Jury reaches verdict in Colorado theater shooting trial
Jurors have reached a verdict in the trial of Colorado theater shooter James Holmes. The jury made its decision on Thursday after deliberating for a day and a half. A court spokesman said the verdict will be announced at 3:15 p.m.
Photos of the 12 people who died in the Colorado theater shooting were the last images jurors saw before they started deliberating Wednesday over whether the gunman, James Holmes, was legally insane when he opened fire on a crowded midnight movie premiere. Within 30 minutes, the group of nine women and three men requested a whiteboard. Later, they asked Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. for an index to the mounds of evidence left for them in the jury room. But Samour denied the request, saying the two sides wouldn’t agree on how things should be labeled.
Investigators initially thought the fire that killed a 2-year-old girl in a motor home in Oldtown, Idaho, had started with electrical wiring, but new evidence suggests she had access to a handheld blowtorch, authorities said Thursday. Bonner County Undersheriff David Hale said the girl, Genevieve Brouillette, may have inadvertently started the fire that consumed the motor home around 8 p.m. Tuesday at 4039 Hoo Doo Loop.
Two crashes, including fatality, involve drivers who admit marijuana use
A bicyclist was killed and a motorcyclist was seriously injured in separate accidents Wednesday and in both cases the drivers who caused the accidents admitted to recently smoking marijuana. A truck hit a bicyclist near the intersection of Mission Avenue and Rebecca around 7 p.m. Wednesday. Robert G. Hargrave, 27, was driving his pickup truck west on Mission while the cyclist was riding on the sidewalk on the south side of the street. Hargrave’s truck went across the median, across the eastbound lanes and hit the cyclist and a brick wall. Hargrave reportedly told investigators that he smokes marijuana every night before bed to help him sleep, according to court documents. He also said he couldn’t remember the accident and didn’t think he had been driving his truck. He will be arrested on a vehicular homicide charge once he is released from the hospital. The second accident happened on another busy street during rush hour. James M. Pederson, 35, was driving his pickup truck south on Hamilton Street just before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and was attempting to make a left turn to go east on Augusta Street. He told police that saw a car turn west on Augusta so he assumed it was clear for him to turn east, according to court documents. He turned left in front of a northbound motorcycle, which impacted the passenger side of his truck behind the door. The motorcyclist, identified as David E. Bradbury, sustained several broken bones and a broken hip, according to a police news release. An officer who spoke to Pederson after the accident said that his pupils were constricted and he smelled of alcohol and marijuana. Pederson reportedly told the officer that had had smoked marijuana that morning but refused to take a field sobriety test, according to court documents. Pederson appeared in court Thursday on a charge of vehicular assault. His bond was set at $5,000.
Man accused of strangling girlfriend pleads guilty to murder
In a surprise move, Tony T. Callihan pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Thursday, accepting a sentence of 20 years in prison. Callihan, 40, was accused of strangling his girlfriend, 48-year-old Michelle Koenen, on Dec. 7, 2012. Police found him sleeping in Koenen’s car a week later in Clearlake, California, and he’s been in jail ever since. A mistrial in his case was declared in December after the defense’s expert witness suddenly said he was unable to testify. There were also issues with 18 letters written to and from Callihan in prison that weren’t disclosed by prosecutors until the trial was underway. A second trial was set to begin Monday.
Gunman identified in Chattanooga shootings
Update: Law enforcement have swarmed the house believed to belong to the man authorities say killed four Marines and wounded others in two attacks on military facilities. A U.S. official says the gunman in the shootings in Tennessee has been identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
Original story: A gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire at two military facilities Thursday in Tennessee, killing at least four Marines, officials said. The suspect also was killed. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, told The Associated Press the death toll included the four U.S. Marines and the sole gunman believed responsible. Two others, a soldier and a police officer, were wounded, the official said.
Jail grapples with inmate deaths, staff shortage
Update: Tammy Heinen’s family members said Thursday she did not receive the medical care she needed before her arrest Sunday on an outstanding warrant. Family members said the 44-year-old had recently been diagnosed with a leg infection and was taking antibiotics. Her boyfriend was on the way to the hospital with her when she was picked up on the warrant, they said. Kim Heinen, Tammy’s sister, said Thursday her sister was forced to walk to the squad car despite being bound to a wheelchair because of her ailment. Original story: The Spokane County Jail is having difficulty hiring and retaining medical staff, while a spate of recent inmate deaths appear to be caused by health issues. County commissioners, who oversee the jail, expressed concern about the in-custody deaths, which total four over the past 10 weeks. The latest was the death of Tammy Sue Heinen, 44, who was alone in her cell shortly after 4:30 p.m. Monday. “We’re not a triage hospital,” Spokane County Commissioner Todd Mielke said. “We’re a correctional facility. We don’t have a full medical team.”
Greek lawmakers pass austerity steps
Greek lawmakers early today approved a package of tough economic reforms ordered by their country’s creditors, the first step toward securing a third international bailout to keep Greece from going bankrupt and crashing out of the eurozone. But Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ victory in parliament, on a vote of 229-64, with six abstentions and one absence, came at a cost. Nearly 40 members of his own left-wing Syriza party voted no or abstained, severely weakening his mandate to govern. The prospect of early elections, a fragile new ruling coalition or other political instability now looms large just as Athens is in desperate need of unity to enact the new measures and to convince lenders of its commitment to reform. The measures, including sales-tax hikes and pension cutbacks, were demanded by Greece’s creditors as a condition for opening negotiations on a $94 billion bailout, based on Wednesday’s exchange rate. Under a deal reached this week between Greece and its European partners, Athens had to approve the legislation by late Wednesday or early today, or face certain default.

Judge rules two Utah mothers listed on birth certificate
A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the state of Utah to list the names of a lesbian couple on a birth certificate as the mothers of their new baby in a ruling that lawyers said was the first of its kind since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. U.S. District Judge Dee Benson said the assisted reproduction case wasn’t hard to decide. “The state has failed to demonstrate any legitimate reason, actually any reason at all, for not treating a female spouse in a same-sex marriage the same as a male spouse in an opposite-sex marriage,” Benson said in his ruling from the bench.

The House passed a bill Wednesday to temporarily shore up funding for transportation programs and prevent a shutdown in highway and transit aid to states at the end of this month. But Senate Republicans are trying to cobble together a longer-term bill that could provide money for several years. The House bill would provide $8 billion to keep transportation aid flowing through Dec. 18 while lawmakers work on a long-term bill. It passed by a vote of 312-119.

Mormon church fills leadership post
The Mormon church has a new top-ranking leader to replace the late Boyd K. Packer, who was next in line to become president and prophet of the faith.

Nelson will serve as the president of the church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, its high-level governing body. Nelson has been a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles since 1984.

Feds shutter online malware market Darkode
The Justice Department shut down an online “criminal bazaar” where computer hackers bought and sold stolen databases, malicious software and other products that could cripple or steal information from computers and cellphones, authorities said Wednesday. Roughly 70 alleged cybercriminals in the United States and 19 other countries were targeted in the 18-month probe of Darkode.com. The secretive, members-only site was the largest-known English language malware forum in the world until the FBI got a court order to shut it down, investigators said.
Planned Parenthood video subject of Congressional inquiries
The searing political conflict over abortion flared anew Wednesday as three Republican-led congressional committees said they will investigate whether Planned Parenthood is selling organs from aborted fetuses. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, criticized the group and said President Barack Obama should condemn and end the practice. Other GOP lawmakers and 2016 presidential hopefuls joined in, including some who said Congress should end federal aid to the organization.

‘Accountant of Auschwitz’ convicted for role at camp
Oskar Groening confessed during his trial to feeling “moral guilt” for serving as an SS sergeant at Auschwitz. On Wednesday, a court ruled that he was guilty of being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 Jews and sentenced him to four years in prison. The 94-year-old, who testified that he oversaw the collection of prisoners’ belongings and ensured valuables and cash were separated to be sent to Berlin, listened without expression to the verdict after a 2 1/2-month trial that could set a legal landmark. The verdict, and presiding Judge Franz Kompisch’s thorough and impassioned detailing of the Lueneburg state court’s ruling, renewed hope of more 11th-hour prosecutions of former members of the SS who served at death camps – no matter their age.
Kennedy Center picks six honorees

Search on for victims in Kentucky flood
Rescue teams are slogging through knee-deep mud, door-to-door, across the rugged Appalachian terrain, painting an orange X on each structure they search. Desperate families roam the banks of the swollen creek, looking for their lost loved ones. Rescue crews battled swarming mosquitoes, oppressive humidity and thick mud. Utility crews lined the roads, trying to restore power to thousands. A convoy of National Guard vehicles and heavy equipment rolled through the hardest-hit areas. Seven cadaver dogs are aiding in the search, which stretches more than 8 miles from the town of Flat Gap south to Staffordsville – an area with 500 homes and 1,200 residents about 120 miles east of Lexington

Inslee weighs next move on water quality rules
Gov. Jay Inslee did not get legislation he said was needed to update the state’s water quality standards that are partly tied to how much fish people eat.

Robots do check-in, check-out at Japan hotel
From the receptionist that does the check-in and check-out to the porter that’s an automated trolley taking luggage up to the room, this hotel in southwestern Japan, aptly called Weird Hotel, is “manned” almost totally by robots to save labor costs. Hideo Sawada, who runs the hotel as part of an amusement park, insists using robots is not a gimmick, but a serious effort to utilize technology and achieve efficiency.
‘Prime Day’ sale angers some
Amazon aimed for Christmas in July with its much-hyped “Prime Day” sale. But some shoppers found a lump of coal instead. The online retailer said Prime Day would offer bigger sales than those during the winter holiday shopping season. The goal was to boost $99 annual Prime loyalty program memberships during the sluggish summer. The sale gained so much attention other retailers, including Wal-Mart, Target, Macy’s and Best Buy, had sales of their own. But some Amazon customers were disappointed by Prime Day. Some thought the discounts weren’t deep enough. Others didn’t like that the deals were available for a limited time and in limited quantities. Other Amazon customers criticized the types of products that were marked down.
Briefcase: Netflix supports Charter’s bid for Time Warner
Netflix, a vocal opponent of Comcast’s failed bid for Time Warner Cable, supports Charter’s quest to do the same in a deal that would create another cable giant. In a filing with the Federal Communications Commission Wednesday, the online video company said it supports the deal because Charter says it won’t charge companies to connect to its network to reach its customers. Spread across a larger Charter with 19.4 million Internet customers, that would be a “substantial public interest benefit” and would help get online services to consumers and promote innovation, Netflix said.

New labor guidelines address worker status
When are workers employees? When are they contractors? The Labor Department issued new guidance Wednesday that could limit the ability of many companies to designate their workers as contractors. That could spell trouble for sharing-economy firms such as Uber and TaskRabbit, which rely on independent workers. It comes amid a wave of lawsuits against companies brought by workers who say they should have been treated as employees rather than contractors. The Economic Policy Institute estimates 10 to 20 percent of employers misclassify at least one worker.
Yellen defends Fed policies
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday she is encouraged by signs that the economy is reviving after a brutal winter. And if the improvements stay on track, the Fed will likely start raising interest rates later this year. Yellen, however, downplayed the importance of the timing of the first rate hike as she delivered the Fed’s midyear economic outlook to Congress. Interest rates will remain at low levels “for quite some time after the first increase,” she said.

Federal Reserve blames immigrant kids for robbing jobs from 'native' U.S. teens
American teen employment has dropped 20 percent from the late 1980s, in part because more and more immigrants have flooded into the market to displace native-born kids from jobs in percentages far higher than on adults, according to the Federal Reserve. "The displacement effect of immigration on the employment of younger persons is much larger than on the employment of prime-age adults," said the September 2014 report, "Labor Force Participation: Recent Developments and Future Prospects."
