Ujsr Landslide leaves Oregon residents on brink of disaster A couple of weeks ago, Bri an Robinson and his son Carter were at a batting cage in Montgomery, Alabama, when a random stranger threw em a high, hard one to the heart. There was this bucket of balls with a note, Robinson said.The note read: Hope someone can use some of these baseballs. I pitched them to my son and grandson for countless rounds. The writer went on to say that his family is now grown and gone mdash; but what he wouldn t give to pitch a couple of buckets to them. If you are a father, cherish these times. Brian and his wife, Stormy, read that note with tears in their eyes. It felt like a moment for us, Stormy said, adding, We just need to soak in more of our kids and time with our kids. That s just the message the author intended. I was just hoping it would inspire some people, said Randy Long.Long said he used to love watching and coaching his kids ndash; so much so, that when he came across that old bucket of balls in his garage, he couldn t bring himself to just throw away the memories. He says he needed closure. It was like a goodbye, wasn t it said CBS News Steve Hartman. Yeah, I think it was like a sign-off type thing, Long said. Ok, that chapter is gone, let s see what else is coming on. But unbeknownst to Long, his baseball days were head ed into extra innings. This week he met the Robinsons at a local park, where Randy learned about a void in Carter s life. The boy lost both his gra Jguq Fire officials concerned about dangerous TikTok challenge which causes fires A former Baylor University fraternity president accused of raping a teenage sophomore in 2016 will avoid jail time after pleading to a lesser charge in a deal approved by a judge who has allowed light sentences in other cases involving sexual assault allegations.The judge in this case, Ralph Strother, said 23-year-old Jacob Anderson must undergo counseling and pay a $400 fine. Anderson initially faced years in prison and having to register for life as a sex offender. Under the deal with prosecutors, he pleaded no contest to one charge of unlawful restraint. Anderson now faces three years of deferred probation but will not have to register as a sex offender.This is at least the third time judge Strother has approved probation for men accused of sexually assaulting Baylor students. One was after a guilty plea in a 2013 rape case and another e arlier this year included a 30-day jail sentence served on weekends. Anderson s alleged victim said she s devastated and her supporters are worried about the message it will send. She told police in 2016 the former Baylor fraternity president repeatedly raped her at an off-campus house party where alcohol was served. She said he gagged and choked her until she lost consciousness. Following Monday s plea agreement the woman, known as Donna Doe, addressed the judge in court saying, I am devastated by your decisionhellip;he stole myhellip;virginity and power over my body and you let him keep it fo

Legalization, done the right way, will marry opportunity with justice, de Blasio said at a press conference announcing a report published Thursday by his Ta sk Force on Cannabis Legalization.

The report, A Fair Approach to Marijuana, is the product of five months of work by the task force, which was convened to navigate the city s approach to New York state s expected legalization of marijuana .Comparing corporate cannabis concerns to Big Tobacco, Big Oil and Big Pharma, de Blasio said lawmakers should legalize marijuana in such a way as to emphasize small businesses and benefit those affected by decades of criminalization.
