Perry "was found nude from the waist down. She had been molested and beaten," according to the student-run Stanford Daily newspaper.
Crawford was always a person of interest, police said, adding it was only recently that investigators linked him to DNA found on Perry's clothing,

A widely cited study of suicide rates for different occupations in the U.S. has been retracted.
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention produced the 2016 study that showed the "farming, fishing and forestry" occupational group suffered a higher rate of suicide than any other occupation.

The CDC retracted the study, issuing a notice about errors in the initial data.

Among the errors was mis-classifying farmers into the wrong occupation group, which resulted in being overstated.

One of America's largest labs reached a $8.76 million settlement with an Irish woman who says it mistakenly cleared her of cancer years ago. She is just one of more than 200 women in Ireland found to have been misdiagnosed in a screening program that involved two American labs.
Emma Mhic Mhathuna, who just won the big battle, is still fighting for her life.
A government audit in 2014 found that the labs mistakenly cleared 209 women in Ireland who were later diagnosed with cervical cancer. Since then, 18 of those women have died. But most of the women affected were never told, until one of them, Vicky Phelan, discovered a page from the audit in her medical file in January.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is calling on her supporters to confront Trump administration officials and staffers in public due to the President’s zero-tolerance policy on illegal immigration.

Pelosi posted her disapproval to a story about Waters’ comments.

If the shoe was on the other foot, she would cry of the color. Yes it is, the color of one's heart.

Fraud...

The U.S. Justice Department announced charges against 601 people including doctors for taking part in healthcare frauds. 

The arrests came as part of an annual fraud takedown overseen by the Justice Department. The crackdown resulted in authorities bringing dozens of unrelated cases involving alleged frauds that cost government health care programs and insurers more than $2 billion.
The cases included charges in Texas against a pharmacy chain owner and two other people accused of using fraudulent prescriptions to fill bulk orders for over 1 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills that were sold to drug couriers.

Fake...

Two recent news media fumbles illustrate nicely the present divide between mainstream journalism’s ambitions and its chronically blundering execution. 

There is a reason that Americans don't trust the media.  


The first came from Time Magazine, which published a cover story examining President Donald Trump’s controversial border separation policy. The photo-shopped cover of that issue  the obvious implication that the immigrant girl had been torn from her parents at the behest of Trump’s policy. Indeed, the story itself initially stated that the girl had been “carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

But she wasn’t. It didn’t happen.  The story itself, turned out to be FALSE. 

The girl’s father confirmed that she was never taken from her mother. Time eventually corrected the story.

Time Magazine inflamed the passion of many, angered many by providing the false story against the President. This is why some countries prosecute those who make it up, inflame the public and may create violence as a result.  

Shortage...

A new opioid crisis happening in the U.S.,: Hospitals are frequently running out of widely used injected painkillers.
Manufacturing shortages are forcing many doctors and pharmacists to sometimes ration injected opioids.  
Medical groups are urging regulators to help, saying some people having surgery, fighting cancer or suffering with severe burns are getting inadequate pain control. They also say shortages frequently cause medication switches that could lead to mistakes.
The American Medical Association declared drug shortages a public health crisis, saying it will urge federal agencies to examine the problem as a national security threat and perhaps designate medicine factories as critical infrastructure.
"It's definitely the most severe I've seen in tracking drug shortages for 17 years," says Erin Fox, a University of Utah Hospitals pharmacist.

Police in Tacoma, Washington used the same advanced DNA profiling technique to catch the man who sexually assaulted and killed a 12-year-old girl more than three decades ago. Gary Charles Hartman, 66, was arrested and charged with first degree murder for killing Michella Welch.

Using unknown DNA the suspect left at the scene, a genetic genealogist at Parabon Nanolabs found comparable DNA in publically available samples and narrowed down the search to Hartman and his brother. Police then secretly obtained a sample of Hartman’s DNA he left on a napkin in a coffee shop.

“If you left your DNA at the scene, you will be caught,” Tacoma prosecutor said. [Crime Time]

Boldly...

Boldly indeed. This president is trying to do, in business, what no other did. In addition, he didn't start wars in the Middle East where poor people and minorities got killed, injured, lost homes and became refugees in countries they never wanted to be in, just to satisfy the hunger of some. He cut the funds that everyone was providing the terrorist s in Syria. He boldly did what no other president did, Business, Trade, Taxes, and trying to fix the law breaker of the borders Dems. created chaos.

Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
    that the mountains might quake at your presence—
[a] as when fire kindles brushwood
    and the fire causes water to boil—
to make your name known to your adversaries,
    and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
