Schlemmer, 38, was fatally shot around 2:15 a.m. across the street from a nightclub off Washington Avenue.

Did he hear that sound, that metallic screeching from up the valley? She opened the door of their double-wide trailer and walked outside as Shaffer closed his eyes.A moment later came a thunderous crack of splintering lumber. Debris shot through the living room. Shaffer opened his eyes again to find a hulking train car steps from where he lay. It had shorn off the roof, exposing the murk of the pre-dawn sky. He jumped up and ran outside and saw the garage next door in flames.Though it sat at the floor of a valley along a busy stretch of railroad tracks, the quiet town of Hyndman, Pennsylvania, hadn’t seen a major derailment in rec...Play Free Slots: Updated List of the Best Free Online Slot Games in 2023 (No Download Needed)

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods is back at the Masters, along with his slight limp. It is not every step, every minute. But it is there. And as much hardware as he has in his mended right leg, the limp figures to be with him for as long as he plays the sport he once dominated.As for how long he keeps playing Augusta National? That’s a little harder to foresee.Woods conceded that each trip to the Masters — at his age (47) and with surgeries on both legs and his back over the last decade — makes him wonder if it’s going to be the last one.“I don’t know how many more I have in me,” Woods said Tuesday.This will be his 25th time playing the Masters, and Woods still is surprised there was a 24th. He was still recovering last year from crashing his car off a suburban Los Angeles road at over 85 mph, crushing bones in his right leg so badly he said doctors contemplated amputation.“I didn’t know if I was going to play again at that time,” Woods said. “For some reason, everything kind ...Undercover Los Angeles cops file claims in photo backlash

More than 300 undercover Los Angeles police officers filed legal claims against the city and police department Tuesday after their names and photographs were released to a technology watchdog group that posted them online.The watchdog group Stop LAPD Spying Coalition posted more than 9,300 officers’ information and photographs last month in a searchable online database following a public records request by a reporter for progressive news outlet Knock LA. Hundreds of undercover officers were included in the database, although it's not clear exactly how many because the database doesn't specify which officers work undercover.The officers were not given advance notice of the disclosure and the backlash has roiled the department. The inspector general is investigating Chief Michel Moore and the agency's constitutional policing director Liz Rhodes after an officers' union filed a misconduct complaint.While the city attorney’s office determined the agency was legally required to...This is how much money you need to be 'happy' in California, study says

Who wouldn’t be happy with having more money in the bank?A March study from Go Banking Rates and Purdue University unveiled how much money a person would need to make to be “happy” in each state based on multiple factors such as cost of living expenses.A Purdue University study from 2018 found that the average income needed to achieve “happiness” in the U.S. was $105,000; experts at Go Banking Rates used that figure to rank states that require the least to the most amount of money to achieve “happiness.” This is where California residents can find the cheapest homes Researchers noted that ‘happiness’ is subjective, so that these numbers won’t apply to everyone.In California, the minimum salary needed to be “happy” is $145,635, with experts citing that the state’s “notoriously high cost of living” was one of the primary factors behind the high amount.Massachusetts and Hawaii were the only states with a higher salary requirement than the Golden State.Researchers found that in Massac...How Kristen Butler Built An Empire of Positivity

Who would have thought the difference between liquid collagen supplements and the powder form were so different?They are in fact very different, and that differentiation can mean the difference between a smooth recovery from an injury, or a bit of a rougher road.According to webmd.com, “Collagen is a protein responsible for healthy joints and skin elasticity, or stretchiness. It’s in your bones, muscles, and blood, comprising three-quarters of your skin and a third of the protein in your body.”But as we age, the website continues, collagen breaks down and your body has to work harder to produce it.This is where collagen supplements come in. And this is where Frog Fuel plays a pivotal role in maintaining your health, as you recover from an injury sustained during a workout or competition.Developed by the team at OP2 Labs, Frog Fuel is a clinically-proven, high-quality, nano-hydrolyzed collagen protein supplement for athletes recovering from workouts and injuries.OP2 Labs Founders and...Latest news
