The tech sector in Atlanta.

That’s how large a proposed data center campus would be in Georgia, ranking the plan among the most expansive pitched across the state. Developer Trammell Crow Co. is planning a $21 billion technology campus for a 1,632-acre site along I-75 in the city of Forsyth, roughly 60 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta. A state infrastructure filing unveiled the early-stage project Wednesday, but details are scant. The project called the Forsyth Technology Campus could include up to 12 million square feet of buildings spread across 21 data center warehouses that store computer servers, according to a rezoning application obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. At that scale, it’s hard to make comparisons. The average Atlanta home is about 2,200 square feet, so it would take more than 5,400 homes to match 12 million square feet. Atlanta’s tallest building, Bank of America Plaza, has about one-ninth of the floor space at 1.3 million square feet. More than seven Lenox Square malls could fit within the proposed Forsyth project.

Andre Drummond left the 76ers’ game at the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night with a right knee sprain. The veteran center dropped to the floor after contesting a second-quarter shot, then grabbed at his right leg before being helped off the floor. The 76ers announced that he will not return to the game. Drummond had been enjoying a resurgent season for the Sixers, averaging 8.3 points and 10.7 rebounds in 16 games entering Friday and filling in as a starter while Joel Embiid has nursed issues with both knees throughout the early season. Drummond had totaled seven points and four rebounds in 10 minutes before leaving the game.

After the save, Matvei Michkov carried Ritchie into the boards and hit him up high with his stick, resulting in a four minute power play for the Islanders. The Flyers entered the game with the fourth-best penalty kill (86.2%) and held the Islanders, who entered the day with the 31st-ranked power play (12.6%) — but did have one power-play goal already — to six shot attempts. Ersson stopped two shots, one being a tricky tip-in attempt from Ritchie.

The 23-year-old son of a prominent businessman from Madan, Bulgaria, was violently killed and his body discarded in a local river, the Smolyan District Prosecutor's Office confirmed. Authorities received a report of the crime around 10:12 p.m. last night. According to unofficial sources, Kostadin Kabadzhov was attacked by a group of men near the wine industry area at the outskirts of Madan, heading toward Zlatograd. He was severely beaten before being thrown into the riverbed that runs through the town. The suspects were reportedly traveling in a van with Kardzhali license plates. Police and fire brigade teams responded promptly, cordoning off the area and conducting an on-site inspection. Firefighters later retrieved Kabadzhov’s body from the river.

Pirro said that the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, launched an “ambush-style” attack with a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver. The suspect currently faces charges of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. Pirro said that “it’s too soon to say” what the suspect’s motives were.

The 29-year-old suspect, an Afghan national, entered the U.S. in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden administration program that evacuated and resettled tens of thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrawal from the country, officials said. The initiative brought roughly 76,000 people to the U.S., many of whom had worked alongside U.S. troops and diplomats as interpreters and translators. It has since faced intense scrutiny from Trump and his allies, congressional Republicans and some government watchdogs over gaps in the vetting process and the speed of admissions, even as advocates say it offered a lifeline to people at risk of Taliban reprisals.

It’s starting to feel like one of those accounts should be made for Nikita Grebenkin. If it were to be up and running on Wednesday, it would simply say, “Yes.” After sitting for the last three games, the Russian left winger will slot back in on the fourth line alongside Garnet Hathaway and center Rodrigo Ābols when the Flyers take on the Florida Panthers tonight at 7 (NBCSP). Nic Deslauriers will come out of the lineup.

The Panthers skated out with Sam Bennett eventually getting the puck back in the Flyers’ end. Bennett skated around Matvei Michkov, who got back but pulled down the forward as he cut across the crease with the puck sliding under Seeler. Michkov would have been called for a penalty if Brad Marchand hadn’t buried the puck.

The Hawks (10-8-5) collected a point but fell to the Wild 4-3 in overtime. Left winger Kirill Kaprizov sent a snipe past Spencer Knight (20 saves) to win the game for Minnesota. So much for those Kaprizov-to-the-Hawks trade rumors. The Wild (13-7-4) are 16-0-1 in their last 17 meetings against the Hawks.

If there will be healthcare costs with the flu outbreak in LA County.

Thousands of South Shore Health patients could soon lose access to the system’s hospitals or physicians due to contract disputes with two different insurers. The Weymouth-based health system has begun notifying patients who have Tufts Health Direct Plan and UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage that contract negotiations with the two insurers are in flux, potentially leading to patients losing access to the health system in the coming months.

California could see an early start to the annual flu season, as a combination of low vaccination rates and late mutations to the virus may leave the state particularly exposed to transmission, health experts say. Already, there are warning signs. Los Angeles County recently reported its first flu death of the season, and other nations are reporting record-breaking or powerful, earlier-than-expected flu seasons. Typically, flu picks up right after Christmas and into the New Year, but Dr. Elizabeth Hudson, regional physician chief of infectious diseases at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, said she expects increases in viral activity perhaps over the next two to three weeks.

Hagel got the puck at the Lightning’s blue line and carried it through the neutral zone. Despite three Flyers at the blue line waiting for him, he carried the puck in and dished a pass to Nikita Kucherov on the wall. As Hagel curled to the front of the net, Kucherov fed Emil Lilleberg at the point for a slap shot that Hagel ended up deflecting past goalie Sam Ersson.

If the firemen report city ordinance violations.

The union representing FDNY firefighters is demanding answers after City Hall officials discovered 68 boxes of information on the dangers of Sept. 11 toxins despite claiming for years they couldn’t find any records on what authorities knew about Ground Zero health hazards.

Brink was moved alongside Matvei Michkov and Couturier, and the Minnesotan scored after receiving a pass from the captain — who kept the puck away from two defenders — in the second period. In the first period, it was Couturier feeding Michkov for a breakaway after the Russian winger read the play properly and sprinted ahead.

One night last December, six men met at a home in the Hollywood Hills to plot a kidnapping, prosecutors say. Their alleged target was a 17-year-old operator of a cryptocurrency business. His abductors, authorities charge, included a felon with ties to Israeli organized crime and a former officer from the Los Angeles Police Department. The wallet contained $350,000 in crypto, she said. Surveillance footage showed Ben, Halem and the other intruders leaving the victim’s apartment building about 25 minutes after they entered, according to the prosecutor.

The Jets players and their friend went inside the place but soon left about 10 minutes later after deciding they didn’t like the “vibe.” As they were leaving, they encountered the same group, who again began to “verbally insult them, and once again, questioning their clothing,” Kenny continued. The shooter fired two bullets from a 9-mm. handgun, one of which struck Boyd in his chest, traveled into his lung and is “currently lodged in his pulmonary artery,” Kenny said. Afterward the shooter ran off the block and was picked up by someone in a white BMW, according to Kenny.

Authorities have identified the victim killed in a trench collapse while working on a Cape Cod town’s $207 million sewer project for a company that was fined after being cited by OSHA on the same project last year, according to federal records. Yarmouth officials have confirmed that Miguel Reis, 61, of Fall River, died Tuesday after a trench collapsed at a site in the mid-Cape town operated by Revoli Construction, a company fined $6,950 as part of a settlement following an incident last December, OSHA records show. “Another man involved in the incident was rescued and is currently receiving care at Rhode Island Hospital,” Yarmouth officials said in a statement on Wednesday. “Our hearts are with both families, their loved ones, and all who are grieving during this very difficult time.” Massachusetts State Police detectives with the Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office are investigating the incident with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The collapse triggered a large mutual aid response from surrounding Cape Cod communities and state agencies. At the scene on Tuesday, Yarmouth Fire Chief Enrique Arrascue highlighted how authorities responding to the collapse earlier in the morning found two people in the trench. “One …. was buried up to about his waist,” Arrascue said. “And then another person that had heroically jumped in, in an attempt to rescue and help, and he also got himself in part of the trench collapse.” Those two victims survived, with one getting himself out on his own, at about 8:55 a.m., minutes after first responders received a call. The other, buried up to about his waist, took a little longer to be extricated, at about 1:20 p.m., town officials have said. “Rescue operations continued until the third worker [identified as Miguel Reis on Wednesday], who succumbed to his injuries, was removed from the trench at approximately 2:45 pm,” a release from the town states. The trench collapsed in the area of 152 South Shore Drive in South Yarmouth, the address of The Skipper Restaurant and Chowder House, near Parker River Beach. That’s just two-tenths of a mile away from 174 South Shore Drive, the address of a Revoli Construction incident on Dec. 18, 2024, according to an OSHA inspection detail record.

Sixers say Kelly Oubre Jr. suffered sprained knee ligament and will be evaluated in two weeks Oubre suffered the injury during the second quarter of Friday’s loss at Detroit. He is averaging 16.8 points on 49.7% shooting and 5.1 rebounds. Kelly Oubre Jr. has suffered a sprained lateral collateral ligament in his left knee and will be reevaluated in two weeks, the Sixers announced Wednesday night. Oubre was hurt during the second quarter of a loss to the Pistons on Friday in Detroit. Before the injury, Oubre was enjoying a terrific start to the 2025-26 season. The 6-foot-8 wing is averaging 16.8 points on 49.7% shooting and 5.1 rebounds, and often takes the most difficult perimeter defensive assignment. Without Oubre, who was logging nearly 35 minutes per game before he was hurt, the Sixers’ options at small forward include Justin Edwards (who started Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors) and Paul George (who made his season debut Monday).

In Boston a policewoman is suing the department.

A Suffolk County jury on Tuesday awarded $1 million in damages to a fired Boston police officer who testified that she experienced a hostile work environment because other officers would make inappropriate comments about her sex life, among other allegations. However, the jury was not persuaded by the plaintiff’s claims that her 2019 termination was discriminatory or constituted retaliation. Enxhi Qirici was fired during a year-long probationary period that applies to new officers. She later sued the Boston Police Department, challenging her termination and seeking damages. Attorneys for the city argued she was simply unfit for the job. On two separate occasions, they said, she lost control of her emotions during interactions with law enforcement officers from other agencies. “I want you to ask yourselves if she is someone you want serving as law enforcement in your community,” city attorney Bridget Davidson told jurors, saying Qirici’s conduct alone got her fired. The jury agreed. But they also were convinced by Qirici’s claims of a hostile work environment. Fourteen jurors delivered their verdict late Tuesday afternoon after deliberating for several hours. During the roughly weeklong civil trial, Qirici’s lawyers accused Boston police leaders of allowing a culture of racism and sexism to flourish. They argued Qirici was discriminated against because she was dating a Black co-worker. “This case is about fairness and equality,” attorney Ilir Kavaja said. He said it demonstrates how women are often treated in an agency where gossiping about your colleagues is commonplace. Qirici was raised in Albania and immigrated to the United States as a teenager, she testified. She said she always wanted to become a police officer. She earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and criminology from UMass Boston and worked as a Transportation Security Officer at Logan International Airport during school. She began training to become a Boston police officer in 2017. After graduating from the department’s academy, she was assigned two field training officers. She later started dating one of them, Eliot Telisnor, according to her testimony.

As the murder trial for two men charged in the shooting death of Philadelphia Police Officer Richard Mendez drew to a close Tuesday, prosecutors and defense attorneys offered differing interpretations of what happened on that violent October 2023 evening. Assistant District Attorney Cydney Pope said a group of men — including 20-year-old Yobranny Martinez-Fernandez and 23-year-old Hendrick Pena-Fernandez — went out that night with the goal of stealing cars, a business she said they carried out like a “well-oiled machine.” That, she said, included Martinez-Fernandez’s role of enforcer as he carried a 9mm handgun to protect the operation. Mendez, 50, and his partner, Raul Ortiz, were shot after they interrupted the group’s attempt to steal a Dodge Charger in parking lot D at Philadelphia International Airport. Prosecutors said Martinez-Fernandez was under the steering wheel programming a new key fob when he fired his gun, shooting Mendez multiple times through the torso and hitting Raul once in the arm. He also unintentionally shot an 18-year-old man who was one of the group’s accomplices, they said. Martinez-Fernandez was charged with first-degree murder, robbery, and related crimes. Pena-Fernandez, who prosecutors say assisted in the crime, faces charges of second-degree murder and related crimes. With both men facing life in prison without parole if convicted, defense attorneys Robert Gamburg and Earl G. Kauffman urged jurors to conclude that prosecutors had failed to make the case for their guilt. For one, they said jurors should question whether prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence to prove that the men had even been at the crime scene that evening. And they cast doubt on the account of the prosecution’s star witness — a man who was involved in the crime, and took the stand to implicate the two men after pleading guilty to lesser charges. Alexander Batista-Polanco, who the lawyers said stands to gain a lighter sentence in exchange for his cooperation with prosecutors, could not be trusted, they said. Pope scoffed at the suggestion Batista-Polanco had lied in exchange for favorable treatment and reminded jurors that witnesses face the risk of violence to themselves, and to their families, when speaking out. She said she believed Batista-Polanco would likely be “looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.” Pope pointed to evidence including cell phone data and recovered DNA linking the men to the crime, which stretched from the South Philadelphia sports complex to the Cranbury, N.J., warehouse where she said the men torched the vehicle they used to flee the scene. Gamburg, who represents Pena-Fernandez, suggested that prosecutors had erred in charging him with second-degree murder, a killing during the commission of a felony like robbery, arson, or rape. In this case, he suggested, stealing a car was more like theft, and no weapon was used to obtain the vehicle. Pope, citing the shooting that followed and left a 22-year veteran of the force dead, disagreed. “You can call it whatever you want,” she said, “but what this is, is robbery.”

If the Atlanta quarterback will be placed on the IR list.

It applies less to Vlasic than to other defensemen, but when they get less playing time, it can take a mental toll. Artyom Levshunov needed to take a game off to regroup this year, and Rinzel was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Penix is suspected to have a partially torn ACL, per Zach Klein. The injury is to his left knee. The quarterback had torn the ACL in his right knee twice in college. Penix is heading to injured reserve, meaning he has to miss at least the Falcons' next four games. Officially, Ian Rapoport reported that Penix has aggravated a bone bruise and knee sprain from earlier in the season, and confirmed that the QB has suffered damage to his ACL.

As previously mentioned, IR stands for injured reserve. A player is added to IR if they are dealing with a football-related injury and will miss a significant period of time. Players on the list don’t count against the active roster, meaning teams can sign temporary replacements without going over the maximum 53 players. If a player is placed on the IR list prior to the start of the season, their season is over. If they are placed on the list during the season, they must miss a minimum of four games before they can return. Once a player is healthy enough to practice, they must be designated for a return. This designation clears the player to resume practice and triggers a 21-day window during which the team must either activate the player onto the 53-man roster or place them on season-ending injured reserve. Teams can designate up to eight players for return from injured reserve during the season. However, each player can be designated for return only twice.

Once one of the NHL’s best transition teams, the Flyers have seen that dry up a bit as Tocchet focuses on a heavy dump-and-chase system. But you cannot blame it all on that. When the Flyers are cooking, they get to the front, screen goalies, and use the boards to create time and space to walk out in front — a la Matvei Michkov’s goal last weekend against the Ottawa Senators. It’s inconsistent.

Illegal recruitment practices in Uzbekistan are sending workers to Bulgaria under the promise of salaries reaching 5,000 leva (€2,560), but the reality often fails to meet expectations, prompting many to leave early and leaving Bulgarian employers facing staffing gaps. Officials, business representatives, and employer organisations convened in Ruse on Wednesday to discuss strategies to prevent such mismatches and strengthen economic and trade relations between the two nations, according to BNT. Data from the forum showed that Uzbek citizens account for one in five of all work permits issued to foreign employees in Bulgaria. Since January, 62 Uzbeks have been legally employed in Ruse alone.

It happened near Times Square.

Surveillance footage seen by cops shows a small group of men and at least one woman get startled and start running, a law enforcement source said. Boyd is among the group that scattered, but he then drops to the ground, the source said. Police sources said the dispute started among a group of men outside the restaurant and that Boyd was hit by one of two shots fired. Investigators are still trying to determine if he was the intended target, the sources said.

Boyd hasn’t played this season, his first with the Jets, after going on the season-ending injured reserve list on Aug. 18 with a shoulder injury that required surgery to repair.

New York Jets cornerback and special teams standout Kris Boyd was critically injured in a shooting in midtown Manhattan early Sunday, according to Mayor Eric Adams’ office. The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. outside a business on West 38th Street near 7th Avenue, according to the New York Police Department. A 29-year-old man was shot in the abdomen, police said.

The blood was boiling early. As in four seconds early. That’s how long it took for Nikita Zadorov and Jayden Struble to drop the gloves and exchange heavy blows at center ice. Zadorov ripped off Struble’s helmet before delivering some furious rights to earn the TKO.

In the second period, the Flyers generated more offense. Matvei Michkov was fed a pass by Travis Konecny that gave him an open lane on the left wing. Travis Sanheim put a big slap shot on from the point that Stars goalie Jake Oettinger had to kick out, and Owen Tippett used his speed to put a shot on from the right wing, but Trevor Zegras missed the net on the rebound.

They're supposed to be paying for home repairs.

Across the Philadelphia suburbs, county leaders are tightening their budgets, and looking toward potential tax increases. Counties are required by law to complete their budget for next year by Dec. 31. But they entered this year’s budget season facing uncertainty with federal funding and a lack of clarity over state dollars as lawmakers remained locked in a monthslong budget impasse that ended only Wednesday when the Pennsylvania General Assembly and Gov. Josh Shapiro approved a $50.1 billion budget.

PROVIDENCE — A contractor from Ireland has entered a plea agreement based on charges that he bilked homeowners out of at least $1.5 million in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. John O'Brien, 28, of Ireland, faces wire fraud and conspiracy charges in connection with a "traveling conman fraud" group that allegedly bilked homeowners in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. John O’Brien, 28, who is from Dublin, agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud and to forfeit cash and vehicles, while prosecutors agreed to recommend a prison sentence of no more than 4 years and 8 months. The agreement still needs to be approved by a federal judge. Authorities accused O’Brien of being part of a “traveling conman fraud” group that defrauded property owners by convincing them to pay for home repairs that were not needed, and often not completed. His conduct “resulted in actual or intended loss of at least $1.5 million but less than $3.5 million,” according to the plea agreement.

A suburban contractor swept up in the corruption investigation of then-McCook Mayor Jeff Tobolski has been charged with tax evasion, tying up a loose end in a sprawling probe that brought down more than a dozen people. Simo “Sam” Krneta, 68, a former La Grange Park contractor who now lives in Albany, New York, was charged in a criminal information made public Thursday with a single count of filing a false tax return in 2017. “He looks forward to closing out that short and unfortunate chapter in his life, and continuing to focus on his health concerns and his family.” Krneta, formerly of Western Springs, was a friend of Tobolski’s and Krneta’s company, Renovation Associates, did many projects for the village of McCook while Tobolski was mayor. Krneta’s name first surfaced in a search warrant executed by the FBI in 2019 at village hall in McCook as part of the Tobolski investigation. At the time, Krneta had just completed a major renovation of the Alta Grill restaurant inside the McCook Athletic & Exposition Center facility, also known as The Max.

Clase and Ortiz are Dominicans and Kolosov is a Belarussian. Embiid is a Cameroonian and Odunze is Nigerian.

Cleveland Guardians Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted in Brooklyn in a federal sports betting investigation — the latest in a string of pro sports figures to be busted in gambling scandals. The two are accused of taking bribes to throw balls in the dirt or throwing balls instead of strikes, coordinating with gamblers who wagered on the speed and type of their pitches.

Aleksei Kolosov was returned to Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League, and Ersson, who was activated off injured reserve on Thursday, took the ice for an optional skate on Friday.

Nearly two years after it hit the market, and for nearly $2 million less than the original asking price, Joel Embiid’s Society Hill penthouse has sold. The bi-level apartment at 101 Walnut St. was initially listed for $5.5 million, pulled off the market, and then re-listed. It ultimately sold for $3.6 million on Oct. 31, according to Andrea Desy Edrei, of Serhant. Pennsylvania, who represented both the buyer and seller in the transaction. Asked why Embiid was selling the apartment, Edrei noted, he and his family “enjoyed living there until their family needs changed.” The Philadelphia Business Journal first reported the sale, which does not yet appear in the city’s public property records. The property previously sold for $3.2 million in 2018.

Embiid finished with a season-high 29 points on 10-for-16 shooting to go with six points, four assists, two turnovers, and one block in 25 minutes, 57 seconds. For the first time in a few games, the standout didn’t try to force things in attempting to score on just about every touch.

On the next play, Williams scrambled out to his left, saw open space and took off running along the sideline. The quarterback scampered past one defender and dove his way down to the 2-yard line for a 29-yard gain. It set up an easy touchdown pass to Odunze that pulled the Bears within three points at 20-17.

Williams connected with tight end Colston Loveland for a 20-yard gain and with receiver Rome Odunze for an 18-yard gain along the way. Those chunk plays set up a first-and-10 at the New York 31-yard line.

If they don't do much weight training in the off season maybe they aren't strong enough to secure the ball when they catch a pass.
If he kind of catches it but then drops it then it's not a fumble.

The ones that are strong enough to catch the ball and run with it are the ones that get charged a fumble.

The rules in the NFL change maybe every year. Different reasons. Sometimes for player safety or maybe the length of the game. This year I have noticed a few times I thought a caught ball was a fumble but they ruled it an incomplete pass. And now I'm realizing the implications for that on the league.

Rome Odunze is a great example because last season he had two fumbles. Maybe this year those would have been ruled incomplete passes.

An incomplete pass occurs when a player never secures control of a forward pass, while a fumble happens after a player has gained control of the ball but then loses possession. The key distinction is control and possession: if the ball is loose before the player secures it, it's an incomplete pass, and the play ends. If control is established, and the player subsequently loses the ball (either from a hit or by other means), it is a fumble, and the play remains live.

Nashid Akil, 46, the former captain in North Philadelphia’s 22nd Police District, turned himself in at police headquarters. The charges against the current and former officers, which include theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property, are related to a $392,000 antiviolence grant awarded to a youth boxing program that Akil founded. Akil was abruptly reassigned in October 2022, hours after The Inquirer reported on his chronic absenteeism and the chaos in his relatively high-crime district. While Akil was collecting pay from his side job as a boxing instructor, he was neglecting his duties as police captain. His city-issued SUV was often parked on a tree-lined street in front of his Northeast Philadelphia home on days when he was supposed to be at work, eight miles away, commanding officers in one of the city’s most violent areas.
Akil resigned in February 2023 after the department moved to fire him over what the department called an unrelated disciplinary matter. Investigators found that Akil had violated department policy while trying to fire a sergeant for abusing his COVID-19 sick leave, and later lied to Internal Affairs investigators about the incident. It was an abrupt fall from grace for Akil, a police commander who was slated for a promotion and openly entertained the idea of becoming police commissioner. Akil denied wrongdoing in a discrimination lawsuit he filed against the city in July, alleging that he was targeted for trying to discipline an employee and consequently shortchanged on his pension.

Remember Nikita Grebenkin was in that fight during the Seattle Kraken game. Zadorov left early that time.
James is complaining about the Chicago Bears coaching staff.

According to Natural Stat Trick, across 8 minutes, 13 seconds at five-on-five Tuesday, they outchanced (4-3), outshot (6-2), and outscored Montreal (1-0), with Grebenkin notching his first NHL goal to tie the score in the third period against the Canadiens. The Flyers won in a shootout.

With the crowd still buzzing after the skirmish, Nikita Zadorov crunched Tim Stutzle behind Korpisalo’s net moments before Kleven put a big hit on Peeke that bent the Bruins defenseman backward at the Boston bench.

Odunze’s father James Odunze caught the attention of Bears fans on social media this week when he shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting the Bears should “trade Rome Odunze to a team that will actually throw to him.” Speaking on Thursday at Halas Hall, the younger Odunze said he doesn’t “make a big deal out of it” with regard to his father’s social media posts. The Bears have seen no complaints from Rome Odunze, the No. 9 pick in the 2024 draft.

In New Jersey the appellate court is reviewing a real estate development case. In Boston, an undercover police drug bust.

For purposes of this motion, Philip Norcross does not deny any of the facts alleged in the Indictment. He denies that they constitute crimes. They do not.

New Jersey prosecutors on Wednesday asked a state appellate court to revive a criminal racketeering case against Democratic power broker George E. Norcross III, saying a judge’s decision earlier this year to dismiss their indictment was both legally flawed and premature.

They said prosecutors had not even attempted to articulate a crime in their indictment — which centered on Norcross’ efforts to redevelop Camden’s waterfront — and instead had sought to criminalize the type of hard-knuckle negotiating tactics that developers and businesspeople engage in every day.

New Jersey Superior Court Judge Peter Warshaw dismissed all racketeering charges against South Jersey Democratic power broker George E. Norcross III on Wednesday. The order extends to his co-defendants, younger brother Philip Norcross, former Camden Mayor Dana L. Redd, logistics executive Sidney R. Brown, attorney William M. Tambussi and developer John O’Donnell.

Bryan Mejia, 31, of Mattapan, was arrested earlier that day for allegedly selling fentanyl — a powerful and deadly synthetic opioid — to an undercover Boston police officer on Oct. 19, according to police records.

Four people were shot early Sunday morning in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood just blocks away from Wrigley Field, according to police. Police responded to a shooting around 1:45 a.m. on the 3400 block of North Clark Street, near the area’s popular nightlife strip, a statement from the Chicago Police Department said. Officers found four people shot: a 29-year-old man shot in the arm, a 28-year-old man also shot in the arm, a 29-year-old woman shot in the leg and a 25-year-old man shot in the shoulder. All four victims were hospitalized and reported to be in fair condition, according to police.

Embiid is a Cameroonian basketball player and over the weekend he was fined. He then went on the internet and complained about the referees.

After misplaying a two-on-two on Saturday night in the 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the pairing of York and Travis Sanheim had better coverage. However, Huberdeau carried the puck and looked like he was going to cross with Yegor Sharangovich but stayed down the left side, sending a shot through the triple screen of York, Sharangovich, and Travis Sanheim from the left faceoff circle.

Can the middle class afford healthcare?

Amid a standoff in Congress over their renewal, a slew of Obamacare tax credit enhancements are slated to expire Saturday, just as open enrollment begins. If they do, poor and middle-class New Englanders who buy their own health insurance will see their premiums skyrocket next year, according to a recent report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

The skyrocketing premiums come as a result of a conflict at the center of the current federal government shutdown, which began on Oct. 1: a budgetary impasse between the Republican majority and Democrats over whether to preserve enhanced, Biden-era tax credits that expanded healthcare eligibility to millions more Americans and kept monthly insurance costs affordable for existing policyholders.

Since the start of the week, Sofia police have carried out a large-scale operation targeting drug production, storage, and distribution, resulting in the detention of 64 people.

Several kilos of suspected cocaine that a now-former aide to Gov. Maura Healey stands accused of trafficking were emblazoned with the phrase “GOLD,” leading investigators to believe a cartel may have supplied them, court papers allege. The information came in a law enforcement affidavit filed in the case against LaMar D. Cook, 45, of Springfield. Cook was fired as deputy director of the governor’s Western Massachusetts office following his arrest Tuesday night a day after investigators searched his office, officials said.

How the police in Philadelphia don't monitor the water quality. Also, the hockey coaches have asked the players to stay out of the penalty box.

Philadelphia discharges 12.7 billion gallons of raw, diluted sewage into the Delaware River’s watershed each year, with Camden County adding to the mix, according to a new report. That’s a problem, say the report’s authors at the nonprofit advocacy group PennEnvironment. Philadelphia and Camden border the river, and significant recreational potential is blocked for part of the year because of pollution from both, the authors say. A waterway can remain unsafe for recreation for up to 72 hours after an overflow. That suggests local waterways could be unsafe for recreation up to 195 days per year, or more than half the year.

The Bruins took five minor penalties and Ottawa scored on four of them, including on all three of its third-period power plays. Trailing, 3-1, after two periods, the hopes of a comeback died quickly when Nikita Zadorov was called for interference just eight seconds in. “Kills all of the momentum. It’s definitely on me,” said Zadorov. “I feel like I do that 10 times a game and never trip the guy and my stick gets stuck in between his legs. So yeah, I got to watch the stick. So, I think that kind killed momentum a little bit, they score right away. So obviously they have a really good dangerous power play; we knew before the game. We’ve got to stay out of the box somehow.” The Bruins’ penalty kill entered the game as a top-10 unit, and it has needed to be as Marco Sturm’s club has spent too much time shorthanded.

A Queens man was under arrest on Friday for murder after police said he asphyxiated his estranged wife with an “unknown chemical substance” inside her Long Island home. Asif Qureshi, 53, is accused of killing 46-year-old Aleena Asif with a cyanide-like compound — about a week after she served him divorce papers. Nassau County police detectives responded to a residence on Larch Drive in the hamlet of Herricks on the afternoon of Oct. 17 and found a woman “unconscious, not breathing and with apparent facial burns.”

March 17, 2024 was a Sunday. I don't know if this was that day or a different day. Maybe ten men from the DFB stayed in the downtown Boston Omni. Liam and Terrence shared a room with two beds. Liam met a woman at a bar and she went back to the room. I guess then she fell asleep in the bed.
At 3am she went to the Boston hospital and the printout said two different men's profiles.
The doctors don't know Liam and Terrence. The woman told the cops the hotel room and she named Terrence as the other man. The cops showed up at the hotel to talk to Terrence.

How the Illinois governor is sending maybe weird text messages.

Bulgarian and French law enforcement authorities have jointly dismantled an organized criminal group involved in large-scale cocaine trafficking across Europe, with several Bulgarian nationals implicated in the network. The vehicle, driven by a Bulgarian citizen, was intercepted at the border between France and Spain. During the inspection, officers discovered 179 kilograms of cocaine hidden in specially designed secret compartments built into the truck’s fuel tank.

What followed was not exactly what Pritzker sought. Instead, he and McCombie, who are typically cordial in texts to each other, exchanged heated messages as McCombie rebuffed the governor’s request and called out Pritzker for some of his previous comments about Republicans, with the governor shooting back, sometimes in all capital letters, that her response was “absurd” and that she was playing politics.

The Russian hockey players in the NHL. Notice this quote from Nikita Zadorov kind of doesn't make sense.

The Bruins lost their sixth straight game Thursday night — an embarrassing 7-5 setback to the Ducks — at TD Garden. Defensive breakdowns have been a common theme throughout this streak as the Bruins continue to have mental lapses, particularly right after scoring what should be momentum-changing goals. “Yeah, when you don’t play defense, you usually give up goals,” said Nikita Zadorov when asked if there’s a common theme to the post-goal letdowns.

Matvei Michkov had some of the best looks and led the way with seven shot attempts, including four shots on goal. Late in the first period, while coming out of the penalty box, Michkov got the puck for a breakaway.

Ryan McDonagh had a goal and an assist for the Lightning (1-4-2) in their fourth consecutive loss. Jake Guentzel also scored, and Nikita Kucherov had two assists.

BOSTON (Court TV) — The jury is deliberating the fate of an Irish man who is standing trial for a second time on charges that he raped a woman in a Boston hotel. Terence Crosbie, 38, is charged with rape in the alleged March 15, 2024, incident. Crosbie, a firefighter in Dublin, was visiting Boston with fellow firefighters to walk in the St. Patrick’s Day parade when the alleged rape occurred, prosecutors said. Crosbie’s first trial ended in a mistrial after a jury couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict in June, according to Boston.com. During Crosbie’s first trial, the alleged victim testified that she had consensual sex with another firefighter named Liam O’Brien, who was rooming with Crosbie, reported The Boston Globe. The woman testified that they fell asleep in separate beds, and she later awoke to Crosbie raping her. Prosecutors argued surveillance video shows Crosbie in the room at the time the woman says she was raped.

The Senator is 73 years old. Penix is telling everyone his knee is injured. Both of them have cohorts that kind of aren't maybe in the real world.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is asking the Department of Justice to investigate the Smithsonian Institution for “potential violations of the Anti-Lobbying Act,” escalating prior claims as he works to move space shuttle Discovery to Houston. The Texas Republican previously asked the Smithsonian to conduct an internal review of its potential violations. His letter Wednesday was addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate. “We urge a prompt and thorough investigation into the matter,” Cornyn, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Randy Weber said in Wednesday’s letter. “As a federal government entity, the Smithsonian Institution carries the responsibility to uphold the highest legal and ethical standards. Its credibility and the public’s trust depend on it.”

FLOWERY BRANCH – With Falcons starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. suffering a bone bruise to his left knee, Kirk Cousins is on standby. Penix was projected to be limited to in practice on Wednesday. The team had to issue an estimated report because they didn’t have a practice. They went through a walk-through. “I’m not going to put him in harm’s way,” Falcons coach Raheem Morris said on Wednesday. Penix suffered the injury in the 20-10 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Morris said he wants to see Penix practice on Thursday to better evaluate his movement. “I still feel really good about him, he’s the ultimate tough guy,” Morris said. Penix said it was his left knee.

He is from Ireland.

For the second time in four months, Irish firefighter Terence E. Crosbie Tuesday denied allegations that he raped a woman in a downtown Boston hotel room last year during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. “I absolutely did not,” Crosbie said from the witness stand during his retrial in Suffolk Superior Court, when asked if he raped the woman. Defense attorney Daniel C. Reilly asked Crosbie nearly 10 times whether he touched the woman, whether he had sex with her, and whether the woman was ever in his bed. Crosbie responded “no” to each question. During cross examination, Suffolk Assistant District Attorney Erin Murphy asked Crosbie why he bought a ticket for and boarded an earlier return flight to Dublin after being questioned by police.

When Capital One closed on its $35 billion acquisition of Discover Financial Services in May, it brought together two credit card giants — and thousands of employees — under one roof. There may be a little more room at the former Discover headquarters in north suburban Riverwoods these days, after the newly merged company laid off nearly 600 employees in August and September. In August, Capital One filed a notice with the state that it was laying off 215 employees related to Discover’s home equity and refinance loans business, which the merged company was exiting. Capital One filed another notice last month that at least 382 additional employees across the company were being laid off in the wake of the megamerger. Most of the employees being laid off are set to leave the company by year’s end.

Konecny hinted Thursday that he wasn’t too worried about not having a goal, but the reaction after he scored told a different story. The play started when Matvei Michkov corralled the puck in the neutral zone, carried it into the offensive zone, and found trailing Egor Zamula. Nikita Grebenkin got back into the lineup and made an impact by coming to the defense of his teammate, Garnet Hathaway, who was hit awkwardly by Fleury along the boards in the neutral zone. The Russian earned five for fighting, two for instigating, and a 10-minute misconduct but earned his money by body-slamming Fleury down and then motioning to the crowd — a la Nic Deslauriers — to get excited.

Police tales about Philadelphia.

There’s a smoke shop in North Philly peddling recreational drugs across the street from a daycare. A West Philly storefront that sells loose cigarettes on a residential block. A convenience store in Spring Garden that advertises urine to people looking to pass a drug test. These are among the so-called nuisance businesses that City Council members and neighborhood association leaders cited Monday as lawmakers advanced legislation to make it easier for the city to shut down stores that sell cannabis and tobacco products without licenses.

An anonymous tipster contacted police Friday night, adamant that Scott’s body was on the grounds of the school. Police had missed it in their earlier searches, the tipster said, and they should look along the old wooden fence that divides the school from the recreation center next door, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. “GO BACK YOU MISSED HER,” the tipster wrote, according to the sources. And so, investigators returned to the school on Saturday morning, freshly scouring an area police had focused much of their search efforts on throughout the week after cell phone location data placed Keon King — the man suspected of kidnapping Scott, 23, from her workplace on Oct. 4 — nearby on the night she disappeared. Days earlier, they had found Scott’s debit card and pink phone case behind the school, but nothing else.

At the gym I know someone who works for Kaiser Permanente.

A five-day strike that affected hundreds of Kaiser Permanente clinics and hospitals in California and Hawaii came to an end after the union representing workers said it had “new momentum” to head back to the bargaining table, but no apparent agreement has been reached. “This strike may be over — but the fight for patient safety is not,” the United Nurses Assns. of California/Union of Healthcare Professionals, known as UNAC/UHCP said in a statement. “Caregivers are returning to work united, energized, and ready to keep up the pressure for a fair contract that puts patients first.” Kaiser and union officials are set to resume bargaining on Wednesday and Thursday.

Garnet Hathaway used to play for the Capitals.

In the first three games of the season, Michkov ranked ninth in average minutes (14:26) among Flyers forwards who skated in all three, with only Garnet Hathaway below him. “I know he’s the lightning rod for everybody around here,” said coach Rick Tocchet, who previously said that some of Michkov’s drop in ice time has been related to the Flyers taking so many penalties — and the winger is not on the penalty kill. “Just got to relax. He’s got to get himself into shape.” Tocchet said last week that the Russian suffered an ankle injury this offseason. Michkov confirmed Wednesday through a team translator that he “was training in the summer, got a little injury, minor injury in the ankle,” and now is getting back into playing form.

Do you know off hand how many times Selena Gomez has been married?

Selena Gomez appeared to speak up for suspected longtime rival Hailey Bieber — and then swiftly delete that defense — after the latter suggested that she’s “not inspired by” her fellow beauty mogul. According to a screengrab published by TMZ, the 33-year-old founder of Rare Beauty implored her followers on Instagram to “just leave the girl alone” after Bieber’s comments were met by backlash from Gomez fans.

Flyers Travis Konecny hugs goalkeeper Dan Vlǎdar following the Flyers' 2-1 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday. Tippett was moved up to the top line after the goal. Matvei Michkov, who was on the top line with Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny, did not skate the final 11 minutes, 48 seconds of regulation or overtime. Although he faced only 11 shots through the first two periods, he looked cool and calm in net as the Wild turned up the attack. He stopped a shot by Matt Boldy with the pad before also making a save on Kirill Kaprizov in front during the ensuing power play. Later in the middle frame, he slid across as he read the play well and stopped Ryan Hartman when two Flyers went to Vinnie Hinostroza and then hugged the left post on a shot by Yakov Trenin. Forwards Nikita Grebenkin and Jett Luchanko, and defenseman Adam Ginning were healthy scratches.
