LAS VEGAS (AP) — Clark County firefighters say they responded to the Rio casino in Las Vegas after 20 adults and children in town with a traveling football team came down with flu-like symptoms. |
Clark County Fire Deputy Chief Erik Newman says officials were called Friday morning to help the group members, who were staying on the sixth floor of the hotel-casino. |
Deputy Chief Fernandez Leary says 18 people were taken to hospitals, including 13 children between the ages of 7 and 9. |
It wasn't immediately clear why the group members were sick. |
The football team is from Santa Monica, Calif. |
Is this the Tories' First Lady-in-waiting? |
Dr Jesme Baird's fingernails are filed to precision and painted pillar box red: a perfect counterpoint to her square-cut diamond engagement ring. "He chose it, not me," she says, clearly delighted with it as she twists the glinting platinum band on her finger, giving it a quick polish. "It's beautiful, exactly right fo... |
The setting for the marriage proposal, too, could hardly have been more ideal: a fairytale castle in the Hotel De La Cite, at Carcasonne in the Pyrenees, on a balmy evening in June. "You know, one of those wonderful old hotels with medieval turrets and towers," Dr Baird says with a smile. "Liam proposed over dinner. I ... |
She did, she says, say yes immediately. "Oh yes. And then, a bit later, he brought out a box and there was the ring." |
And so the nuptials for Dr Baird, 37, and her fiancé, Dr Liam Fox, 43, are set for December 17 at St Margaret's in Westminster. The couple have said a polite but firm no to Hello! magazine, which wanted to photograph the occasion, insisting that it would all be a very traditional, family affair: champagne (albeit in th... |
What happens next is a matter of much speculation - because by then Dr Fox could well be, some predict, the leader of the Tory party. He has proven to be the stealth candidate in this race. Initially regarded as a rank outsider, he has quickly gathered momentum and won favourable press coverage. Although David Davis - ... |
Dr Fox's champions argue that, as a former party chairman, he knows the Tory movement inside out and would fare well in such a run-off, the result of which will be announced on December 6. |
At this week's "beauty contest" at the Conservative Party conference in Blackpool, each of the contenders will have their opportunity to woo the grassroots membership. The activists will listen hard to what they have to say on policy and the future of Conservatism. But none of the camps denies that, in this television ... |
With that, inevitably, comes scrutiny of their wives and partners. "It will be my fifth party conference," Dr Baird says, shrugging. "I'm not a novice. I've been around politics for a long time, and I am very prepared to be supportive. And partly, for me, the conference is a social occasion, a time to catch up on old f... |
This time, however, she concedes, her every move and comment will be monitored. So will she be taking advice from the fashion gurus and wardrobe consultants, in the manner of Cherie Blair? "That would not be me," Dr Baird says with a little shudder. "I expect to be the Jesme that everyone knows, very much take me as yo... |
It is not the first time that a potential political leader's wife has expressed her intention to sidestep the magic wand of the makeover: but, one suspects, that Jesme Baird will stick to her guns. Winsomely pretty rather than classically beautiful, she exudes poise and a down-to-earth, friendly manner. Dressed in blac... |
"I shall be moving to Somerset," she insists, dispelling the rumours that she may continue to live in Glasgow after the wedding. She has taken the rumours, widely assumed to be clumsy attempts to question her fiancé's sexuality, in her stride. "Oh that," she says, unperturbed and shrugging, "that doesn't bother me at a... |
"I know my life is going to change dramatically. Neither of us has gone into this with our eyes shut. I accept that my life is going to be very different, that there will be difficult times." |
The couple met at Glasgow University through Dr Fox's sister, Patricia, where both studied medicine. Theirs was a deep friendship that grew into something more almost five years ago. "There was no single moment when we realised we meant more to each other than close friends," she insists, "more a gradual acknowledgemen... |
Though Dr Baird grew up in a political family, her passion is her job as a cancer specialist with the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation in Glasgow. "Moving won't affect my work, which is mainly travelling to make presentations," she says. "I will still be working very hard after I'm married. I'm just moving to the coun... |
Neither, however, will she be taking part in her new husband's daredevil lifestyle. Dr Fox's penchant for bungee jumping and skydiving are well documented. If, as a married man, he continues to indulge in his hobbies he will doing so alone. "I go to the gym because I have to," Dr Baird says, "the rest is not for me. Bu... |
Should she become the wife of the next Tory leader, Dr Baird's commitment to her work will not lessen. She graduated in 1989 and became a junior house doctor. After a year working in the cancer field she knew it was the area in which she wanted to remain. Engaging with sufferers, she says, is very important to her. Aft... |
"I'm not a fan of the tobacco industry," she says bluntly, in what may be interpreted by some as a reference to Kenneth Clarke's position as a director of British American Tobacco. "I think to profit from it is a disgrace and I don't say that lightly." |
She would, she says, be in favour of a ban in public places. "If someone lights up beside me, I politely ask them not to." |
A woman to reckon with, then, and more than capable of the role of leader's wife that - depending on the decision of the party's MPs and activists - may yet be an unexpected wedding present. |

NEWARK, N.J. – Authorities say six people have been killed in a fast-moving fire that roared through a single-family home in New Jersey's largest city. |
The Essex County prosecutor's office says the blaze broke out at around 4 a.m. Sunday in Newark. The fire soon spread to another residence, and both homes were destroyed. |
Prosecutors say the cause of the fire remains under investigation. The chief of detectives for the prosecutor's office tells the Star-Ledger of Newark that the fire doesn't appear to be suspicious. |
Authorities say it appears some of the victims are related. |
Hideo Kojima’s classic game Zone of The Enders is getting a remake on a PlayStation 4 with enhanced graphics, 4K support, new sound design, and of course, VR support. |
Anubis: Zone of the Enders (known as Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner in the West) was first released in Japan in 2003. |
Titled Anubis Zone of The Enders: M∀RS, the PS4 release has complete VR support. It’s being developed by Konami and Cygames, and it will be released in Japan in spring 2018. |

At WWDC 2017 Apple announced MacOS High Sierra, and, as the name suggests, this update to the Macintosh is taking everything that was in Sierra and refining it meticulously. |
This year's update is mainly aimed at developers but includes a few new features that are surely going to be well-received by everyone else. |
Apple is bringing a bunch of new changes to Safari with High Sierra that may make you think twice about using Chrome when it releases towards the end of the year. |
The Cupertino based company claims to have carried out extensive desktop browser testing and have stated that Safari on High Sierra is now the fastest browser around. Along with being the Usain Bolt of desktop browsers, Safari is also making sure that you’ll never go to a web page and have an intrusive video start play... |
Furthermore, the browser is also covering your trail with its new Tracking Prevention feature that means after you finish looking at something on Amazon for instance, that product will no longer chase you around the internet with a big ‘buy me’ button sitting below. Apple has emphasised that this is a move to protect u... |
Mail on the Mac is now more intuitive to use than ever with Apple introducing Full-screen Split View meaning that you can now compose a message while still being able to access the entirety of your mailbox. What’s more, your messages will now be kinder to your hard drive by using up to 35 per cent less storage space. |
The photos app has always been an awesome place to see everything you’ve ever taken with your iPad or iPhone, however, the app is now getting some changes that make it even easier to navigate. To start with, the app now has a section for all the photos and videos that have been imported and displays them in chronologic... |
The People section of the photos app has always been great, but there are times where even if someone is wearing a pair of glasses the app will think that it’s a different person. Before, this meant you had to manually go through each picture and add that face to a particular person, however, face recognition has been ... |
The most interesting feature to come to Photos is in the way you are now able to edit photos meticulously within the app itself. Apple has introduced a new feature called Curves that allows for precise colour and contrast editing. Additionally, there is also a new Selective Colour that lets you modify colours within a ... |
Remember when Apple introduced the ability to add a bunch of pictures to a printed book? Now Apple has partnered with a ton of new companies that are going to take some of the printing burden off the tech giant to give you some great ways to have physical copies of your memories in the form of wall mounts. |
With High Sierra, Apple is bringing its Apple File System to the Mac, this a 64-bit system that is optimised for modern storage such as Flash. All of this basically means that when you go to copy files such as large videos for instance, you’ll find the duplication process is vastly quicker with High Sierra due to bette... |
Just like they are with the iPhone and iPad, Apple is moving from H.264 to H.265 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). In a day and age where 4K video is becoming the new norm, you want your computer to store these files while keeping as much space as possible while preserving the quality of the video in question. HEVC ... |
Apple has introduced a second version of its Metal engine that is the software used by developers and Apple itself to produce all the graphics that you see on the Mac. All you need to know is that graphics are now better than ever on the Mac and all animations you see with High Sierra should be smoother than ever. |
Metal is also coming to VR with High Sierra, this means that for the first time developers will be able to create content for users to immerse themselves in on the Mac. The company has also worked with Unity and Unreal to bring their respective VR engines to the Mac. |
Although there aren't a plethora of features that are going to make your Mac feel like an entirely new device in the same way that iOS seems to on iPhones and iPads every year, this year's update to the Mac will be lapped up by developers who will be eager to take advantage of everything this new update has to offer. H... |
MacOS High Sierra will be available to download this Autumn. |
We have some great news for those of you who want to pre-order the new Acer Aspire ICONIA A100 available with Android v3.0 Honeycomb, and the cost of this will make you feel there’s a bargain to be had here. |
The 7-inch Android tablet will be released on April 20th and on the market for a steal at £299.99 via Amazon UK. When you translate that to United States money, this is an equivalent of $485, although it’s well known that UK prices are inflated thanks to extra taxes, so expect to pay more like $350 in the US. |

The facial scanning solution is common these days - you will find a budget smartphone and a premium smartphone sharing the feature with few enhancements on the latter. |
Smartphones got the biometric solution for the first time when Apple launched Touch ID on iPhones. Since then, like all the iPhone features, fingerprint sensors became something that every Android OEM wanted to emulate in a way or other. Then came facial scanning, slowly fading the trend of fingerprint scanners on phon... |

We were pleased to read in the Gazette, July 27, that the County Council is spending more time cutting the grass verges especially at junctions where drivers’ vision can be restricted. |
However, we would be pleased to have some explanation as to why the verge along Hulne Park wall at Abbeylands has been cut and poisoned but the verge at the other side of the road has been left to grow nettles and thistles across the footpath. |
This footpath is used not only by the residents of Abbeylands but also by people out walking. |
It is impossible to use the path with a pushchair as the width of the path is so restricted by weeds. |
Come on, Northumberland County Council, look after council taxpayers not just tourists. |

It has all come down to the matchup that many pundits, fans, coaches and players thought that it might. |
Where: Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va. |
Coaches: ECU � Ruffin McNeill (28-21 at ECU). Marshall � Doc Holliday (25-23 at Marshall). |
Key Players: ECU � QB Shane Carden, WR Justin Hardy, RB Vintavious Cooper, LB Derrell Johnson, DB Chip Thompson. Marshall � QB Rakeem Cato, WR Tommy Shuler, TE Gator Hoskins. |
GREENVILLE � It has all come down to the matchup that many pundits, fans, coaches and players thought that it might. |
The East Carolina Pirates (9-2) will travel to Huntington, W.Va,. Friday to battle a historic rival in the Marshall Thundering Herd (8-3). |
On the line for both teams is the Conference USA East Division title and a berth in the Conference USA championship game. |
The Pirates have been a well-oiled offensive machine as of late, but if any other C-USA program can match the Pirates� operative abilities � it�s the Herd. |
The Herd quarterback Rakeem Cato � who was picked preseason Conference USA Player of the Year � is exponentially talented under center. |
Cato has passed for 3,042 yards and has a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 32-7. |
Marshall�s leading offensive threats not named Cato are tight end Gator Hoskins, receiver Tommy Shuler and running back Essray Taliaferro. |
Hoskins and Shuler have caught 21 of Cato�s 32 touchdown passess. |
ECU has an explosive quarterback-wide receiver combo in its own right � perhaps among the best in the nation. |
