He s headed to Germany on Sunday and hopes - with the help of a German doctor - to find the farm house cellar and dig up the 3-inch long metal wings that he had proudly pinned to his shirt.

President Donald Trump s executive order temporarily suspending refugees and banning immigrants from seven countries has sparked criticism and sporadic protests nationwide.But for Dotty Rhea, a 68-year-old retiree in Savannah, Tennessee, the directive was warranted.

Osbp Rigger Acquitted in Fatal 08 NYC Crane Collapse
Last Updated 9:5 stanley canada 1 a.m. ET CBS/AP GREENSBORO, N.C. - Some of the jurors from the John Edwards case that ended in mistrial said there just wasn t enough evidence to convict him of campaign finance violations. Six of the jurors went on network talk sh stanley cup ows Friday, a day after acquitting the former presidential candidate on one count and failing to reach a verdict on five other charges.Prosecutors had char stanley cups ged Edwards with misusing campaign contributions from two wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress while he ran for the White House. The jury s foreman, David Recchion, told NBC s Today that the credibility of the government s lead witness, Andrew Young, was of the utmost importance to the jury. I think [Young] was the key part of the miss for the prosecution, Recchion said.Cindy Aquaro said on NBC s Today show that she thought Edwards was guilty of at least some counts, but she said he was smart enough to hide it, and that the evidence just was not there for us to prove guilt. The emotions got high in the deliberation room, she said. Ladonna Foster, who said she has thought up until yesterday that the jury would be able to come to a verdict, said she believes Edwards should be re-tried on the five charges for which a mistrial was declared. Although no decision has been announced, it is unlikely the Department of Justice will retry Edwards, a source has confirmed to CBS News.

AQIM Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb AQIM released claiming responsibility for the recent bomb attacks in Algiers and Boumerdes in a statement it posted on the Internet along with pictures of the two suicide bombers. The group claimed the three attacks killed two Frenchmen and 37 Algerian soldiers and warned of further attacks against the Algerian government forces. It dedicated the operation to one of its commanders called Abdul Rahman al Thulathi, who was killed by Algerian security forces.The statement said the first attack on June 4th, against a casern of the Algerian Republican guards in the Kaifan tower in the capital, was carried out by Yusuf Abu Baseer Al Aasmi, who blew himself at the main gate. A few moments later, the second suicide bomber Ibrahim Al Adham, blew himself u stanley water bottle p in a in the cafeacute; killing a group of soldiers who were sitting there. The group says a bomb was used in the second operation on June 5th to attack targeted an army convoy in Raas Janaat Boumerdes .

WASHINGTON AP 鈥?A single elevator could have accommodated the donors who recently gathered with Hillary Clinton at home of the Pritzker family in Chicago s Gold Coast skechers hausschuhe neighborhood. Small in number, the group was big in largesse, contributing at least $1 million to help elect her and other Democrats this fall.To raise that much money, it would have taken a 37,000-seat stadium of Bernie Sanders fans each chipping in the campaign s self-described average donation of $27.In her quest for the White House, Clinton is using every fundraising technique at her disposal, including intimate salon-style gatherings with elite donors. Together with small-donor efforts such as email marketing and happy hours for young professionals, these events are helping Clinton collect as much as $1 billion to battle presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.The mini-fundraisers have landed big money: At least $18 million has flowed from 15 of them over the past two months, according to an Associated Press review.But they also may open her up to criticism.

There is also a requirement for doctors to provide information to patients that includes a statement that abortion ends the life of whole, separate, unique, living human being.

CBS News Eleven years after the 9/11 attacks, there is new information on what the George W.

He said, What I ve been able to see are the presidential daily briefs before August 6 of 2001. And they re horrific, and they are - our reports are an attack is coming, there are going to be mass casualties. The worst of them, the Pentagon, the neo-conservatives at the Pentagon, as the CIA was coming in saying, al-Qaeda s going to attack, said, Oh, this is just a false flag operation. Bin laden is trying to take our attention off of the real threat, Iraq. And so there are presidential daily briefs that are literally saying, No they re wrong, this isn t fake, it s real. CBS This Morning co-host Norah O Donnell said, The stanley cups n when a lot of people hear this, aren t they going to say, This is another example of where, not stanley cup just the Bush administration, but our intelligence community dropped the ball.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- St. Petersburg Police are cracking down on bikers and walkers breaking the rules of the road. Starting Tuesday, officers kicked off a five-month-long high visibility enforcement campaign.Over the next several weeks, o af1 fficers will look for unsafe behaviors of drivers, pedestrians, af1 and bicyclists and give-out warnings and road safety pamphlets.In March, theyll switch to tickets including $62.50 fines for walkers not using a crosswalk and bikers darting across the road without a green light. The idea is to change the behaviors of the pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists.Officers spent the day Tuesday enforcing 5th Avenue North between Martin Luther King and 16th Street North. Wednesday they will target a portion of Central Avenue.An FDOT grant is paying for the enforcement. Theyre desperate for a solution to decrease pedestrian deaths. Floridas pedestrian death rate is twice as high as the national average.In St. Pete alone, there were 31 fatal crashes2016. 14 involved pedestrians.So far in 2017, there have been 25 fatal crashes, 10 involving pedestrians. That s a total of 24 pedestrains killed in 2016 and 2017 to date .Between the two years, an average 73% of the pedestrians who were killed were not in acrosswalk.Following otherhigh visibil nike dunk low ity campaigns, FDOT surveyed people who were warned or ticketed and found many of them said it encouraged them to change their behavior.
