Unbecoming...

The West Point graduate, who last year posed in a picture holding a cap that had “Communism will win” written inside, is officially out of the U.S. Army.

Spenser Rapone rocked the military community after his social media posts were revealed, showing him wearing a Che Guevara shirt underneath his military uniform.

Top brass at Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division accepted his resignation after an earlier warning for “conduct unbecoming of an officer.” He’s leaving the military with an other-than-honorable discharge.

Mexico 2018...

To defeat the reigning world champions and  favorite to lift the trophy again was special enough. But to go out and attack them from the start -- and for the 22-year-old Lozano to get the winning goal -- made this an afternoon that will long live in the memory.

Mexico could do great damage on the counter attack. They defend very well then on the counter, they are very quick opening the opponent's  defense lines wide. That is their game plan and they were very successful at it. The speed on the counter put the German team in unbalanced situation repeatedly.

This Mexican team is moving forward in this tournament.

Ring...

A police officer used a metal detector to find a woman’s $20,000 engagement ring after she lost it on Fire Island, officials said.  The woman called the police after she realized she’d lost the pricey ring.

When the search of the home turned up short, another officer brought his personal metal detector to Atlantique Beach, where the woman had been sitting.  After 10 minutes, the metal detector went off, and Officer McDowell managed to locate the ring in the sand. It was the second missing ring the officer has used his metal detector to find, the department said.

Don't lose it again, insurance may not pay easily.

By-Stander...

A bystander in Washington fatally shot a carjacking suspect after the carjacker allegedly shot a man who refused to give up control of his vehicle. 

Police said the suspect shot a display case inside the Walmart before exiting and attempting the carjacking.  He was attempting to carjack a second vehicle in the parking lot when the armed bystander intervened.

Witnesses told KOMO that a total of three bystanders pulled guns on the suspect and at least one of them fired. 

Police say the suspect may have been connected to an earlier attempted carjacking in Tumwater.

Spell-Check...

Theranos...

Federal prosecutors indicted Elizabeth Holmes on criminal fraud charges for allegedly defrauding investors, doctors and the public as the head of the once-heralded blood-testing startup Theranos. Federal prosecutors also brought charges against the company's former second-in-command.

Holmes, and her former Chief Operating Officer Ramesh Balwani, are charged with two counts conspiracy to commit wire fraud and nine counts of wire fraud each,  

Prosecutors allege that Holmes and Balwani deliberately misled investors, policymakers and the public about the accuracy of Theranos' blood-testing technologies going back to at least 2013. Holmes, 34, founded Theranos in Palo Alto, California, in 2003.  

Holmes said Theranos had discovered a new way of doing blood testing, dozens of tests with just a prick of a finger and few droplets of blood. A notoriously secretive company, Theranos shared very little about its blood-testing machine, nicknamed Edison, with the public or medical community. Holmes said she was inspired to start the company in response to her fear of needles.      Now we find out.

Repeat...

Russia comprehensively thrashed Saudi Arabia, 5-0, in the opening game of its home World Cup. Gazinsky scored on a header 12 minutes in, and afterward Saudi Arabia could offer little resistance.

Russia’s second, third and fourth goals were all by substitutes. With time running out, Aleksandr Golovin got a fifth goal on a free kick, past a badly tired Saudi defense.

It became clear very quickly that they were no match for a Russian team that itself has not been a worldbeater in recent years.

The Russian team has few players who can score goals from anywhere. That will give the Russian a boost against the next game with Egypt. Since Egypt coach's plan may be defensive, the Russian most likely will repeat their victory.
