Donna Adelson, mother of Charlie Adelson recently convicted in a murder-for-hire case, has been arrested in Miami. Adelson, 73, was booked into the Miami-Dade jail on Monday night on an out-of-county warrant, just a week after her son’s guilty verdict in the killing of Florida State Professor Dan Markel back in 2014.Markel, embroiled in a custody battle with Charlie’s sister, was fatally shot, leading to Charlie’s conviction for orchestrating the murder. Prosecutors allege Donna’s involvement in the plot. Specific charges for Donna Adelson are yet to be released.12 migrant land in Sunny Isles Beach on capsized boat; 1 in critical

Local police officers and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue sprang into action following reports of a migrant boat landing in Sunny Isles Beach. The situation unfolded near 100 Poinciana Drive just before 2 a.m., with initial reports indicating a capsized boat and multiple individuals in distress. Live video footage showed a helicopter overhead as it possibly searched for more migrants in the water. Authorities appeared to focus on a white boat that washed up on the shore. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) confirmed 12 people were on the boat, with two people reportedly treated on the scene. One individual is currently being transported to a local trauma center for urgent medical attention. Witnesses shared their accounts of the event. “[We saw] the helicopter and the flashlights in the water and everything,” said a man. “So we saw the boat and DHS and HSI were all over. They didn’t wanna tell us what was going on, but it was kind of obvious.” A public information off...Finland, Estonia send legal letter to China over Baltic Sea drama

Finland and Estonia have formally submitted a legal notice to China for cooperation as part of their ongoing investigation into damage to Baltic Sea critical infrastructure.“Just a couple of days ago, we, together with Finland, handed over a note of legal cooperation to China,” Estonia’s Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna told POLITICO on Monday. “We do hope that China will be cooperative and we can get the opportunity to make more investigations.”Finnish and Estonian authorities have been investigating the rupture of the Balticconnector gas pipeline and of a telecommunications cable connecting the two countries, both damaged around October 7-8. A telecom cable linking Estonia to Sweden was also damaged on the same night, along with one of Russia‘s telecom cables in the Gulf of Finland. Officials have previously said they believe all of these incidents to be linked. After a preliminary investigation, authorities have zeroed in on a Chinese vessel, NewNew Polar Bear, whi...Artillery blame game hits Brussels over the million shell pledge to Ukraine

BRUSSELS — Critics of the EU target of supplying 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine by March — which is increasingly unlikely — have been skeptical since day one. Now, as EU defense ministers gather in Brussels, the blame game is on.“We have to assume that the 1 million will not be achieved,” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said at the start of Tuesday’s summit of EU defense ministers.When the idea was launched last March, there were worries that it was unwise to put a specific figure linked to a deadline for the ammunition pledge if there was the slightest doubt about the bloc’s ability to hit that target. “The question of whether 1 million was ever realistic was actually the right one,” Pistorius added. “There have been voices that have said, ‘Be careful. One million is easy to decide, the money is there, but the production has to be there.’ Unfortunately, those voices are now right.” The initiative came from Estonia in response to Kyiv’s desperate...Central Perk, Boston’s new ‘Friends’-themed cafe opens for business

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Interstate fishing regulators are limiting the harvest of a primordial species of invertebrate to try to help rebuild its population and aid a threatened species of bird.Fishermen harvest horseshoe crabs on the East Coast for use as bait and in biomedical products. The animals are declining in some of their range, and they’re critically important as a food source for the red knot, a migratory shorebird listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.The regulatory Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission said it will allow no harvest of female horseshoe crabs that originate in the Delaware Bay during the 2024 fishing season. The Delaware Bay is one of the most important ecosystems for the crabs, which are also harvested in large numbers in New England.The Delaware Bay horseshoe crab population has been increasing over the last two decades, which is an encouraging sign, said John Clark, chair of the Atlantic States horseshoe crab manage...Forever a ‘Dirtbag’: Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was shaped by college baseball and a surprising speech

It was April 23, 1997. A dreary evening inside a hotel lobby in northeast Wichita, Kansas, when Dave Snow summoned his team.What followed inside that landmark meeting ground on the outskirts of the Shockers’ campus has become Long Beach State baseball folklore. It’s the Brandon Hyde story his former teammates retell. A watershed moment for the future Orioles skipper who helped pilot one of the greatest regular-season turnarounds in Major League Baseball, good for AL Manager of the Year finalist recognition.Snow, a veteran baseball coach at Long Beach then in his ninth season, just watched the No. 17 Dirtbags drop back-to-back games in as many days to the 20th-ranked team in the country. They were 27-18 and fading. Snow was befuddled. He could feel the threads that stitched the group together slowly unraveling.When a Wichita State base runner stole second earlier in the day and nobody was there to cover, the throw sailed into center field. One example of a costly miscommu...NFL power rankings, Week 11: Ravens and Bengals slip heading into pivotal matchup as AFC playoff race heats up

Baltimore’s inability to finish games is deeply concerning, with a minus-17 point differential in the fourth quarter that ranks sixth worst in the league. It’s been a troubling trend for a while; according to ESPN, the Ravens’ seven losses after leading in the fourth quarter since the start of last season are tied with the...Patriots-Colts film review: Why the Germany loss may not be rock bottom
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:34:49 GMT
The Patriots’ loss in Germany revealed to the football-watching world what has quietly been evident in New England for weeks.After tailoring the offense to his quarterback, Bill O’Brien has been calling games around Mac Jones, not through him.Nowadays, the Patriots run rudimentary pass concepts almost exclusively. They wield their run game like a hammer whenever possible. The majority of Jones’ downfield throws are schemed play-action shots behind an increasing amount of max protection to simplify his reads and keep him comfortable.O’Brien has baby-proofed the offense, yet Jones still bangs his head and melts down. He might have lost the coaching staff’s trust for good Sunday. The Patriots have lost two, perhaps three, games this season because of him. He’s been benched three times.Not even box-score scouting can save Jones. Remember: almost 20% of Jones’ passing yards came off a meaningless completion before the half to Demario Douglas, Had...Renowned Candian-born Israeli peace activist, Vivian Silver, confirmed killed in Hamas attack

JERUSALEM (AP) — Vivian Silver, a Canadian-born Israeli activist who devoted her life to seeking peace with the Palestinians, was confirmed killed in Hamas’ Oct. 7 incursion into southern Israel.For 38 days, Silver, who had moved to Israel in the 1970s and made her home in Kibbutz Be’eri, had been believed to be among the nearly 240 hostages held in the Gaza Strip. But identification of some of the most badly burned remains has gone slowly, and her family was notified of her death on Monday.Silver was a dominant figure in several groups that promoted peace between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as a prominent Israeli human rights group. She also volunteered with a group that drove Gaza cancer patients to Israeli hospitals for medical care.“On the one hand, she was small and fragile. Very sensitive,” her son Yonatan Zeigen told Israel Radio on Tuesday. “On the other hand, she was a force of nature. She had a giant spirit. She was very assertive. She had very strong core beliefs...Latest news
