Suge Knight...

The plea deal calls for Suge Knight to serve 22 years in prison on the voluntary manslaughter count, and six years because it is a third strike violation. 

Knight collapsed during one court hearing, two of his former attorneys were indicted on witness-tampering charges, and his fiancé pleaded no contest to selling video of Knight hitting the two men with his truck. 

His attorney Albert DeBlanc Jr., appointed by the court five months ago, was his 16th, and Knight tried to fire him just a day before the deal was reached. 

The 53-year-old was a key player in the gangster rap scene of the 1990s, and his label once listed Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg among its artists. 

Knight lost control of the company after it was forced into bankruptcy. He has prior felony convictions for armed robbery and assault with a gun. He pleaded no contest in 1995 and was sentenced to five years' probation for assaulting two rap entertainers at a Hollywood recording studio in 1992. 

Idlib...

The leaders of Russia and Turkey agreed to establish a demilitarized zone in Syria's Idlib region, the last major stronghold of anti-government rebels where fears had been running high of a devastating offensive by government forces.

The zone will be established by Oct. 15 and be 15-20 kilometers (9-12 miles) deep, with troops from Russia and NATO-member Turkey conducting coordinated patrols, President Vladimir Putin said at the end of a more than three-hour meeting with Turkish President  Erdogan in Sochi.

The deal marked a significant agreement between the two leaders and effectively delays an offensive by Syria and its Russian and Iranian allies, one that Turkey fears would create a humanitarian crisis near its border.

Putin said "radical militants" would have to withdraw from the zone. Among them would be those from the al-Qaida-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham  Arabic for Levant Liberation Committee. The group denies it is linked to al-Qaida.

"I believe that with this agreement we prevented a great humanitarian crisis in Idlib," Erdogan said at a joint briefing with Putin.

With Europe and USA's support of rebels evaporated, Peace seems to be coming back to Syria.

Mona Coin...

Tech Bureau Corp. said a server for its Zaif exchange was hacked for two hours, and some digital currencies got unlawfully relayed from what's called a "hot wallet," or where virtual coins are stored at such exchanges.  The exchange was taken offline.

Japan has been bullish on virtual money and has set up a system requiring exchanges to be licensed to help protect consumers. The system is also meant to make Japan a global leader in the technology.  

Earlier this year, the Tokyo-based exchange Coincheck reported a 58 billion yen ($547) 

The cryptocurrencies stolen in last week's hack included Bitcoin and Monacoin. Of the stolen money, 2.2 billion yen ($20 million) belonged to the company, and the rest were customers' assets, according to Tech Bureau.

Earlier this year, a glitch at Zaif allowed some people to buy cryptocurrencies for zero yen.  

Un-retiring...

Many older Americans who have retired from their previous jobs are returning to the workforce, a process some are calling "unretiring."

The main reason is money, according to a survey  of 1,000 "unretired" people.

But the second-most common reason was fighting boredom, with 44 % citing it as the reason they jumped back into employment.

In part, the trend reflects the widespread shortfall in Americans' retirement savings. A recent Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies report estimates that workers' median retirement savings is only $71,000, far short of what experts say is needed to retire comfortably. Only 30 percent report accumulating $250,000 or more.

Meanwhile, the number of older Americans filing for bankruptcy has surged fivefold since 1991.
