Notts County have signed Republic of Ireland Under-19 international winger Will Hayhurst from League One rivals Preston North End on an 18-month deal. |
The 20-year-old made his North End debut in April 2012 and played 48 games for the club. |
But Hayhurst only started two league matches for the Lilywhites this season, with just four starts in 11 appearances in total. |
He also had a loan spell with York for the second half of the 2013-14 season. |
The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, focused the majority of the set on 'Beauty Behind The Madness' material and opened with album track 'Prisoner'. Lana Del Rey, a guest on the track, was absent from the Roundhouse venue, leaving Abel Tesfaye to sing lines like "I'm addicted to a life that's so empty" solo. |
Backed by a three piece band situated on a raised platform above him, Tesfaye asked the rapt audience if they were "ready to have some fun" and then ran through the bouncy and energetic 'Losers'. |
He then slowed things down again with the Kanye West produced 'Tell Your Friends'. |
Later in the set, Tesfaye thanked his "day one fans" who he said helped him sell out London's much larger O2 Arena venue in 2013 when he had only released three free mixtapes. |
The middle of the hour-long performance was handed over to covers and songs Tesfaye has featured on, with his take on Beyonce's 'Drunk In Love' a highlight. |
"Lets up the tempo," Tesfaye said as he introduced hit single 'Can't Feel My Face'. An anomaly in a set comprising introspective and maudlin R&B, the song's disco bassline and Michael Jackson-esque vocals saw Tesfaye dancing across the stage to huge applause. |
Spurred on by the rise in pace, Tesfaye later insisted everyone seated in the upper part of the venue got on their feet as he ended the set with 'The Hills'. |
Having drained his new album of hits, Tesfaye returned for a two song encore and revisited his earliest material with 'High For This' and 'Wicked Games' ending the performance. |
Ghassan Abdullah al Sharbi is a 44-year-old citizen of Saudi Arabia. As of January 2010, the Guantánamo Review Task Force had recommended him for prosecution. As of April 19, 2019, he has been held at Guantánamo for 16 years 10 months. War crimes charges against Mr. al Sharbi have been dismissed but may be refiled. |
He graduated from Embry Riddle University in Prescott, Ariz. with a degree in electrical engineering. |
Two suspects were arrested and two more are being sought for an armed home invasion in which two teenagers were assaulted in Bellmore over the weekend, Nassau County police said. |
Lauren Morales, 28, and 20-year-old Nicholas Laurenti, both Hicksville, were arrested Monday and charged with first-degree burglary and assault. |
Police said Morales, Laurenti and two suspects who have yet to be apprehended entered the garage of a home on Lakeview Road, where they punched, kicked and hit two victims aged 17 and 19 with an aluminum bat in the face, head and body at 6:15 p.m. Saturday. |
Morales and Laurenti will be arraigned Tuesday at First District Court in Hempstead. |
Seventh Squad detectives ask anyone with information regarding this case to call them at 516-573-6752 or Crime Stoppers at 1800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous. |

THIBAUT COURTOIS believes Alvaro Morata will receive a frosty reception when he returns to Madrid in midweek. |
Chelsea travel to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday for their second Champions League group stage tie. |
It will be Morata's first return to Spain since leaving Atletico's rivals Real Madrid in the summer. |
The Spaniard has started his Stamford Bridge career in fine form, scoring six goals in as many league games, including a hat-trick last weekend. |
Goalkeeper Courtois used to play for Diego Simeone's side but is expecting to receive a warmer reception than Morata on his return. |
“Alvaro played a lot of games against Atlético," said the shot-stopper. |
"I think it will be a big game against his old rivals. |
The midweek clash will be Atletico's first European fixture in their new stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano. |
And Courtois is looking forward to playing in the new venue. |
“I remember being at the presentation of the new stadium when they first revealed it,” he said. |
“I went there to see the place when there was only one stand, the old one, and they were doing the groundwork. |
"It will be nice to see it." |
Chelsea will go into the clash full of confidence after hammering Stoke City 4-0 on Saturday. |
The Champions League fixture is followed by the visit of Manchester City this weekend. |
Pep Guardiola's side have been in scintillating form this season. |
But Courtois believes Chelsea will continue their strong start to the campaign. |
“We have started this difficult week well with a good victory against Stoke and hopefully Wednesday and Saturday we will carry this good form on," said the Belgian. |
“The top teams are doing well this season and we are happy to be close to the top. |
Chelsea beat Qarabag 6-0 in their European opener, while Atletico drew 0-0 at Roma. |

Flagler County Library Director Holly Albanese was elected to a three-year term to the the nine-member board of directors of the Northeast Florida Library Information Network. |
“I was notified today by Brad Ward, executive director of NEFLIN of my official capacity,” Albanese said. “It will be announced to the membership at the upcoming annual meeting on Sept. 23, which will be held at the Thrasher-Horne Center in Orange Park.” The network’s office is in Orange Park, a suburb of Jacksonville. |
The Northeast Florida Library Information Network encompasses a service area of 24 counties and 570 public, academic, school and special libraries. It provides members with access to training, resource sharing opportunities, as well as research and development through its relationships with other organizations and gran... |
Albanese began working for Flagler County in July 2006. She has a master’s degree in Library Science and Public Administration.

John Kasich's gun control plan: Would new Ohio gun laws matter? |
John Kasich's 'commonsense' gun control plan: Would new Ohio gun laws make a difference? |
The Ohio governor, who was endorsed by the NRA in 2016, now is calling for new gun restrictions. He is a possible 2020 presidential candidate. |
COLUMBUS - John Kasich wants to change Ohio's gun laws, touting support for "commonsense" measures from a handful of Republicans and Democrats. |
Some of the proposals could stop systemic problems, such as court officials' delinquency in adding names to the background-check database. Others would offer little practical change to life in Ohio for gun owners. |
Several of the changes would mimic federal law, giving police the opportunity to look into offenses previously reserved for federal investigators. Kasich's guns policy group shied away from more controversial changes, such as expanding background checks or raising the minimum age for purchasing specific guns. |
"It's the art of the possible, not the impossible," Kasich said Thursday. |
Ohio's GOP-controlled Legislature, lately no ally to Kasich, now has the chance to pass or doom the proposals. While Kasich's guns policy group features Democrats and Republicans, no current lawmakers joined the discussions. It's unclear where GOP leaders in the Statehouse stand on these proposals from Kasich and his a... |
What Kasich's group proposed: Clerks of court across Ohio are supposed to upload at least weekly the names of people barred from owning guns because of a history of violent crime, drug use or mental illness. But dozens of courts have gone months without uploading any names to the national background check-database, an ... |
Kasich's group wants Ohio law to contain penalties or some other measure to force timely updates to the background check system. The proposal didn't give specifics, but Kasich and his allies had discussed withholding state money from delinquent courts. They did suggest the state help courts whose officials say they lac... |
Would it make a difference? There's no way to know how many people bought guns illegally because their names weren't added to the national database. But quicker action from courts would help the state enforce its current background-check laws. And penalties might address Ohio clerks' excuses for delays: the papers were... |
Negligence in adding names to the background-check database has led to violence in the past. The shooter who killed 26 and injured 20 more at a South Texas church last year bought his gun after the military failed to add his name to the database. |
What Kasich’s group proposed: Ohio should have a law that allows police to take a person’s weapons if a court decides he or she poses a threat. |
Would it make a difference? Governors, both Democratic and Republican, have promoted so-called "red flag" policies as possible solutions to gun violence. |
The Florida shooter's mother reported concerns about her son's behavior repeatedly to police, but nothing was done to keep him away from guns. Nearly half of mass shooters exhibit some warning signs, according to an Everytown for Gun Safety review of shootings between 2009 and 2016. |
Five states have laws that allow relatives to petition the courts if they are concerned about their family member's access to guns. It's unclear how effective these laws are. One in Indiana, for example, might allow individuals to purchase guns while theirs are confiscated by a judge. |
Democrats in the Legislature – including Youngstown-area Sen. Joe Schiavoni, who is running for governor – have already introduced this proposal. They say it can help loved ones prevent suicides as well as homicides and mass shootings. |
Still, this could be the toughest sell to gun rights advocates."Denying anyone their rights without due process is wrong," said Jim Irvine, president of the Buckeye Firearms Association. |
What Kasich's group proposed: Some of these types of bullets are illegal federally. Kasich's group wants to add the offense to Ohio law. |
Would it make a difference? Federal law limits some types of body armor-piercing ammunition – largely the military-grade ammunition, said Mike Tobin, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. That means manufacturers can't sell that ammunition to private citizens or companies, unless it is being ... |
The problem? Federal law doesn't ban every type of ammunition that could pierce body armor. So the law is rarely enforced at the federal level. It's doubtful Ohio prosecutors would have more luck. |
What Kasich's group proposed: If you buy a gun for someone who is barred from owning one, the maximum penalty under Ohio law is 18 months in prison. Kasich’s group wants to match the federal penalty: 10 years. |
Would it make a difference? A Cleveland-area man is facing up to 10 years in prison for purchasing the gun that his friend, a convicted felon, is accused of using to kill two Westerville police officers last month. This practice, called a straw purchase, is barred under federal law. |
But even federal investigators have trouble proving the buyer knew their friend was not allowed to have a gun, said Suzanne Dabkowski, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It's unclear that local police would do better with state-level charges. |
Plus, the proposal from Kasich's group would not punish people who buy a gun as a gift, adding another complication to enforcement. |
What Kasich’s group proposed: A person convicted of domestic violence or subject to a protection order should automatically lose the right to buy or own a gun. This would mirror federal law. |
Would it make a difference? Under Ohio law, judges can ban people named in protection orders from having a gun. But it's not an automatic requirement. |
The federal penalty is up to 10 years in prison for possessing a gun after a domestic violence conviction. Putting the restriction in state law would allow local prosecutors to bring charges that federal officials might not have time to pursue. |
These laws are strong only if enforced. A man killed three people at a Kirkersville nursing home last year, even though he should have been banned from having guns because of a protection order his former girlfriend filed. |
What Kasich's group proposed: President Donald Trump has instructed Attorney General Jeff Sessions to regulate "bump stocks," which allow rifles to fire like machine guns. Ohio law, Kasich's group said, should include a provision that would codify federal regulations like this one once they are enacted. |
Would it make a difference? For now, this proposal would do nothing. It would allow bump stocks to remain legal until Sessions acts. Kasich's group did not sign on to an effort to outlaw bump stocks in Ohio through a bill introduced in October by state Sen. Cecil Thomas, D-North Avondale. |
The Las Vegas shooter used a bump stock to mow down nearly 60 people last fall. |
What Kasich's group did not propose: Advocates for gun control will be disappointed Kasich's group did not propose closing loopholes on gun purchases. By one estimate, 42 percent of U.S. gun owners acquired their most recent firearm without a background check. Only licensed firearm sellers must complete these checks. P... |
Would it make a difference? The National Rifle Association opposes so-called "universal background checks" because it says criminals would obtain guns elsewhere – through theft or the black market. California likely has the strictest gun laws in the nation, but two attackers there still stockpiled enough firearms to ki... |
Still, support for universal background checks is overwhelming in the U.S., according to a recent Quinnipiac University poll. Michele Mueller, with the Ohio chapter of Moms Demand Action, said: "That’s the single most important measure you can take." |
In 2016, BCBST's employer-sponsored insurance plans had the highest rate of opioid use disorder per 1,000 people. |
Opioid prescriptions and abuse are more common among people covered under BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee's employer-sponsored plans than they are nationwide. |
In fact, in 2016 BCBST's commercial insurance members had the highest rate of diagnosed opioid use disorder in the country, according to a report from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association that looked at national medical claims from 2010 to 2016. |
Nationally, 8.3 people were diagnosed with the disorder per 1,000 in that period.In Tennessee, the rate was 16.5. |
Alabama was second with 16.4, followed by Kentucky with 15.2. |
BCBST's members had the sixth-highest percentage of people (23.9 percent) who filled at least one opioid prescription in 2015. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma ranked higher. |
Nationally, 21.4 percent of people in commercial Blue Cross plans filled an opioid prescription in 2015. People receiving cancer, palliative or hospice treatment were not included in the study. |
Tennessee is one of the states hardest hit by opioid abuse and misuse. The overdose death rate has continued to climb even as the state tries to crack down on the number of prescriptions. In 2015, deaths hit a record 1,452. |
The new report — America's Opioid Epidemic and its effect on the nation's commercially insured population — includes data from employers that self-fund insurance plans as well as companies that buy into commercial plans. |
The opioid abuse epidemic is a factor in the shortening of life expectancy in the U.S. |
In Tennessee, white men are more likely to die from overdose than women or other races. |
But the national study found that women over the age of 45 were more likely to be diagnosed with opioid use disorder than men. Under the age of 45 the reverse is true. |
The report found that in states such as Tennessee, where opioid abuse was more common, there was a slower growth of treatment for the abuse. |
As a way to curb prescriptions BCBST has increased communication with providers about problematic prescribing patterns and implemented more stringent authorizations before opioids can be prescribed. Cigna has similar programs in place. |
“Opioid abuse and misuse is one of the most pressing public health concerns in our state, and we feel a responsibility to do our part to address this issue,” said Dr. Andrea Willis, chief medical officer of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. |
Three dozen Blue Cross insurance companies comprise Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. The study looked at claims from 30 million people in commercially insured plans, which do not include Medicare, Medicaid or individually purchased insurance. Axial Healthcare, a Nashville-based startup, helped with pharmacy consulta... |
I've had a tenuous relationship with the company now known as HPE over the years. This week's news of a spin-off and merge doesn't make that any easier. |
First the news: HPE, the relatively new company that itself was the creation of the cleaving of Hewlett-Packard's printer and other businesses, is undergoing yet another change. After a series of HPE divestments, the company announced yesterday that it is planning on spinning off its "non-core" software assets and merg... |
