Facc Incoming Florida House Speaker vows bipartisanship and expects more work on property insurance NORTH PORT, Fla. 鈥?Two women were arrested for allegations of child abuse at a North Port daycare.The North Port Police Department NPPD said a parent reported their concerns to them earlier this month when they noticed their child, 3, had visible marks and bruises after they started attending the Bu ilding Blocks Children s Center on Toledo Blade Boulevard.Detectives then launched an investigation working alongside the Florida Department of Children and Families as well as the Florida Department of Health.Officials said the investigation revealed that Evelyn Jennings, 51, allegedly abused the victim by intentionally inflicting physical injury and committing an intentional act by grabbing the victim by his arms and legs, which resulted in physical injur y. Police said more accusations surfaced during the investigation, including previous allegations made against Jennings, who has been fired from multiple daycares.Despite witnesses and the incident being reported to leadership, officials said Jennings was not reprimanded, and nothing was documented or reported to DCF.Cindy Desrosiers, 60, the appointed director of the facility, was made aware of the allegations by both staff and parents but failed to report the incidents and prevented another teacher from doing so, police claimed.Jennings was charged with a felony count of abuse without great harm and Desrosiers was charged with three felony counts of failure to report suspected child abuse as a mandatory reporter.

Cnyz SoftBank founder admits mistakes with WeWork investment American Buffalo are currently an elusive breed on the eastern border of Glacier National Park mdash; but one Native American tribe is working to return the species to their old roaming grounds. So far, the Blackfeet Nation has returned 90 of the buffalo to their territory in Montana. They were our food, our clothing our lodging, our tools, said Ervin Carlson, the director of the Blackfeet Buffalo Program and president of the Intertribal Buffalo Council. They were our whole economy hellip; we existed on them. When European settlers arrived in the 1800s, that delicate balance shifted, until they were hunted to near extinction. But the tribe took action to save the animals. The Blackfeet captured those calves and they took them across the mountains, Carlson said. They sold it to the Canadian government, and that s how they got into Canada and they eventually ended up at Elk Island National Park. In 2016, Canada allowed 100 buffalo to be returned to the Blackfeet Reservation. That was a real great day for us, Carlson said.They ve been living there peacefully ever since. Thirteen of the buffalo even made a detour to California s Oakland Zoo. We were able to secure some of these to bring them he re to Oakland for an incredible, not only exhibit, but really the educational purpose of why they re here, Oakland Zoo CEO Nik Dehejia said.Dehejia said he plans to return the 10 babies born and bred at the zoo to the Montana plains. T Whzo Relentless heat wave to bake the U.S. for multiple weeks MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Former Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said Friday he was happy with his decision toresignand that it relieved him and the state after the drumbeat of a yearlong scandal focused on his relationship with a former aide.I really do feel like a heavy load has been lifted, Bentley said with a smile as he moved his stuff out of the governorrsquo mansion. The doctor and former Baptist deacon found himself in the center of a sex scandal after recordings surfaced last year of him making sugges tive remarks to the aide before his divorce. The cloud around him continued to swirl after lawmakers opened impeachment hearings to determine whether he coerced staff to help hide the relationship. Alabama governor resigns ahead of impeachment hearings 02:34 He said he came to the conclusion that resigning Monday would be the best thing for the state and his staff. Honestly, I just felt like that the state needed, and the people, just needed to be relieved. You know what, Irsquo;m the leader and I had to make that decision, he said. I came here because I love the peopl e of Alabama and Irsquo;m leaving because I still love the people of Alabama. ... It was not going to let up. I want things to be calmer.Bentley made a d

Aqpv CBS News Poll: Americans views on death Idaho on Wednesday delayed the execution of convicted serial killer Thomas Eugene Creech, one of the nation s longest-serving death row inmates, after a failed attempt at lethal in jection. Creech, who has been convicted of five murders, was sentenced to die for the killing of a fellow prisoner with a battery-filled sock in 1981. The medical team could not establish an IV line, rendering the execution unable to proceed, Idaho Department of Correction spokesperson Sanda Kuzeta-Cerimagic said in a statement. As a result, the de ath warrant will expire. The State will consider next steps. Thomas Creech KBOI-TV The U.S. Supreme Court denied three requests from the 73-year-old Creech for a stay of execution Wednesday morning. There were no noted dissents. The execution would mark Idaho s first in more than a decade. Creech s attorneys with the Federal Defender Services of Idaho said in a statement that state officials tried and failed 10 times to access veins in both of his arms and legs to inject him with the lethal injection drug pentobarbital. We are angered but not surprised that the State of Idaho botched the execution of Thomas Creech today. This is what happens when unknown individuals with unknown training are assigned to carry out an execution, they said in a statement.

Qrbr MTV turns 40 years old The ongoing investigation into a door plug that blew out mid-flight on an Alaska Airlines flight is continuing to impact travelers, with both Alaska and United Airlines cancelling hundreds of flights due to the grounding of their fleets of Boeing 737 Max 9 jets.The airlines are the only two U.S. passenger airlines that operate flights on theBoeing 737 Max 9 aircraft, the jet involved in the mid-air blowout. In the aftermath of the incident, both airlines say they have found loose hardware on door plugs on several Boeing 737 Max 9 planes.The Federal Aviation Administration said all Boeing 737 Max 9 planes in the U.S. will be groun ded until the agency is satisfied that they are safe, an agency spokesperson said in a statement Sunday. While passengers may feel relief they won t be booked on Boeing 737 Max 9 flights for the time being, the incident and subsequent investigation are causing major disruptions to Alaska and United s flight schedules.How many flights are canceled or delayed Nearly 200, or 7%, of United s departures were canceled as of Thursday afternoon. Another 106, or 4%, of flights were delayed, according to flight tracking site FlightAware. Alaska Airlines canceled 158, or 22%, of its scheduled flights Thursday. Another 89 flights were delayed, representing 12% of the airline s scheduled departures. Combined cancellations at the two airlines made up 352 or the 430 U.S. flights scrapped on Thursday.What can I do if my Hboq What commercial drivers conceal could have dangerous consequences LOS ANGELES -- Two adult film actors have contracted HIV, with one most likely infecting the other during unprotected sex at a film shoot in Nevada where testing was less stringent than industry standards, officials said.One of the actors had previously tested negative for the virus that causes AIDS before a pair of film shoots, but then began showing symptoms during the second shoot and was later found to be HIV-positive, the California Department of Public Health said Monday in a statement. In this case, the actor and production company thought he was HIV-negative during filming, the statement said. Shortly after his negative test, HIV levels in his body rose rapidly to where he could infect other actors through unprotected sex. The infections came amid a major decline in porn filming in Los Angeles County - once the center of porn production in the country - after the 2012 passage of a law requiring porn actors to use condoms during filming. The number of porn filmmakers applying for shooting permits in the county declined from 485 in 2012 to 40 in 2013.T he Free Speech Coalition, a California-based trade group for the adult fi lm industry, said the pair of film shoots linked to the latest infections occurred in September on a Nevada set using tests that do not detect HIV as early as tests done on sets that fully comply with industry standards. Not only did this leave those who participated at risk, it made it much harder to

Karp Hundreds of jobs available in Lakeland at Tuesday s job fair on November 5th MILLCREEK, Utah KSTU 鈥?Travis Haussener is thankful to be alive. Last week, he was backcountry skiing in Utah on what he thought was stable snow when he suddenly realized he was in danger. I heard the big wumpf, felt like the ground shake, and then all of a sudden there s this wall of snow coming down on me that envelops me, said Haussener. And then I thought, that was it. I thought, you know, my life was over. Using his one free arm, Haussener desperately tried digging himself out. In between digs, I started yelling for help, he said. In, you know, the hopes of some miracle. Miraculously, an off-duty Unified Fire EMT heard his cries and called in search and rescue teams. I was [like], you know, Guys, you gotta get me down or I m gonna die up here, said Haussener. It took eight hours to get Hauss ener off the mountain. Nursing a hole in his lung, broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder, Haussener wishes he had paid more attention to the snow. I want to keep being in the mountains, keep doing what I love, he said. I ll be maybe a little bit more careful next time. This s tory was originally reported by Jenna Bree o n fox13now.

In the beginning, he focused on books that were hard to find. Used books, ordinary used books, scarce and rare books, Reiss said. T hen, people started to turn to the internet for books. When Amazon showed up, books came pretty available, anyone with a computer could find a book anywhere and it got more and more that way, Reiss said. A lot of our inventory that used to be scarce, out of print, $15 to $25 to $35 even $100 books became pretty common, Reiss said. Became $5 and $10 books and it became difficult to make a living selling those. Reiss says his expenses continued to rise while his sales didn t. To keep his business and his job alive, he had to climb into a hole. He says he started putting expenses on credit cards. He says 15 years ago, the debt was at its worst. I probably got to about a quarter million dollars in debt, he said. The plot twist that changed his store was figuring out what to offer the internet couldn t.

Lndd Organic baby spinach linked to multistate E. coli outbreak LAKE WALES, Fla. 鈥?Lake Wales is in the middle of a development bo om. Several new subdivisions could double the population of Lake Wales and also increase the demand for water.The city has joined a statewide program called Florida Water Star, which requires developers to install water-efficient appliances, in both residential and commercial construction. That means low-flow faucets, toilets, shower heads, dishwashers and washing machines. All of the communities in Polk County are trying to find ways to conserve water. This is another way Lake Wales feels is a good conservation tool, said Sara Irvine, Lake Wales Special Projects Administrator.The majority of the water conservation will happen in the yard. The irrigation system has to be installed in ways that actually conserve water and doesnt ha ve any water loss when you turn it off because a standard irri gation system actually loses water even when you turn it off, said Cindy Rodriguez, Senior Government Affaires Regional Manager for the Southwest Florida Water Management District.While other local cities are part of the program, Lake Wales is the first in Polk County to require a third-party inspection to ensure buildings and yards are using a minimum amount of water.The Southwest Florida Water Management District said a new home with two people living in it could save about 48,000 gallons of water a year. That is enough to fill two average-sized residential swimming pools.

Sajjanar said.Police said the suspects allegedly offered to fix a flat tire on her motorbike and then took her in a truck to a secluded spot where the crime was committed.She made a last phone call to her sister saying her bike had broken down and she was scared because some people sitting in a truck were staring at her, Sajjanar said.Surendar, another police officer who uses one name, said her body was wrapped in a blanket and set on fire in the underpass.India has been shaken by a series of sexual assaults in recent years, including the gang rape and murder of a student on a New Delhi bus in 2012.While the government has passed a series of laws increasing punishment for rape, it s rare for more than a few weeks to pass without another brutal sexual assault being reported.In 2013, India doubled prison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalized voyeurism, stalking and the trafficking of women.Indian lawmakers also voted to lower the age at which a person can be tried as an adult for heinous crimes from 18 to 16.According to the most recent a

He was hailed a hero by some and met with predictions of bankruptcy from his critics.But that has not happened; instead, the company is thriving. So you ve almost doubled the number of employees CBS News Carter Evans asked. Yeah, Price replied. He said his company has tripled and he is still paying his employees $70,000 a year. How much do you make asked Evans I make $70,000 a year, Price replied.To pay his own bills, Price downsized his life, sold a second home he owned, and tapped into his savings. Some financial experts believe Price s decision was a big risk. It does go against what people expect and what we usually see in terms of corporations and companies, said Andrew Hafenbrack, assistant professor of Management Organization at the Foster School of Business, University of Washington in Seattle.According to the Economic Policy Institute, average CEO compensation is 320 times more than the salaries of their typical workers. This shows that isn t the only way for a company to be successful and profitable, Hafenbrack said.
