Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop said: “The cyclist was on a peddle cycle travelling on Mansfield Road at the Shire Lane junction at Heath. |
“He said he was approaching Shire Lane and intending to turn right and he moved into the middle of the road with his arm out while wearing a high visibility top. |
Mrs Allsop added that the cyclist suffered a fractured right femur or thigh bone after the collision on July 28. |
The cyclist stated that he has suffered a serious injury which will take a long time to recover and there had been doubts whether he would walk properly again or be able to lead an active lifestyle. |
However, he accepted it was an accident and he hopes that Feltham is more careful in future. |
Feltham told police she did not see the cyclist and she felt her view may have been obstructed. |
She pleaded guilty to driving with due care and attention. |
Feltham stopped at the scene and remained there until treatment could be administered to the cyclist, according to Mr Gittins. |
Mr Gittins also explained that Feltham’s insurance company operates a monitoring system for young drivers and prior to the collision Feltham had received nothing but “all good” results on her monthly reports. |
Magistrates fined Feltham £80 and ordered her to pay £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge. |
Her driving licence was also endorsed with five points. |
The Golden Eagles won their fifth straight Class C state championship over Carle Place. 3-0. |
Different year, same result for Whitney Point. The Eagles won their fifth straight Class C state championship with a 3-0 victory over Carle Place on Sunday at Williamsville North High School. |
The feeling for this win is just as good as the other championships for this team. |
Bough had two goals for the Golden Eagles, both in the second half. One put them up 2-0 and the final one was the finisher with only three minutes left to put the game away. |
“My coach told me where to shoot from because they weren’t guarding me sometimes, so even a quick glance and I saw a little lane. It was really my teammates they deserve the credit,” Bough said. |
For Bough, in her senior year, winning a state championship every year of high school, she doesn’t know what to feel. |
Bough’s first goal of the second half came with 12 minutes left in the game on a corner. “My teammates kept the ball in the area and I just found the lane to score,” Bough said. |
Whitney Point is very community orientated and coach Hutson made sure to give her fans their props. |

Enrollment is down sharply this fall. |

Enrollment is down sharply on the federal health insurance marketplace this fall, and the consumer assistance groups that help with sign-ups think they know why. |
They don’t have the staff to help as many customers as before because the Trump administration slashed funding. The federal government is spending $10 million this year on navigators who help individuals enroll in coverage. The government spent $36 million in 2017 and $63 million in 2016. |
“We don’t have the people to provide the enrollment assistance nor to do the outreach and marketing to let people know what’s happening,” said Jodi Ray at the University of South Florida, who has overseen Florida’s largest navigator program since 2014. |
Ray’s program received $1.2 million in federal funding this year, down from $5 million a year ago. Florida leads the nation in enrollment in the Affordable Care Act marketplace plans. |
With less money, Ray can afford to pay only 59 navigators across the state this year, down from 152 a year ago. With fewer navigators, much of the group’s counseling is done by phone instead of in person. That complicates their job, she said, because it is much easier to talk with and show marketplace customers in pers... |
Open enrollment in the Obamacare plans began Nov. 1 and will run until Dec. 15 for the 39 states covered by the federal exchange, healthcare.gov. The other exchanges — run by states — typically extend until the end of December or into January. |
Obamacare plans are for people without workplace or government coverage. |
Nationwide, navigator groups are scrambling to make up for the loss of federal funding to ensure they can help people make sense of their health insurance options. |
In South Carolina, the Palmetto Project has transformed into the state’s first nonprofit insurance agency. Several of its former federally funded navigators are now licensed insurance agents. In their new role, they get paid a commission on their sales and don’t have to follow Trump administration rules that encourage ... |
The Community Council of Greater Dallas, which was funded last year to help with enrollment in 56 counties, has raised money from private donors to continue serving seven counties around Dallas. But it has 25 fewer navigators, so consumers seeking help must wait three days on average, compared with less than a day last... |
In Wisconsin, the organization Covering Wisconsin has raised millions of dollars from cities, counties and local United Way chapters, as well as the state Medicaid agency, to make up for the federal cuts. Even still, it will be able to provide in-person assistance in only eight counties around Milwaukee and Madison. Tw... |
The Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved is relying totally on volunteers to help consumers with in-person and telephone assistance. In the past year, the association was able to use government funding to pay about 20 navigators. |
Federal officials said they were not providing funds for navigators in Iowa, Montana or New Hampshire because no organizations applied in those states. |
Nearly 12 million people across the country — including nearly 9 million on the federal exchange — enrolled in Obamacare plans for 2018. |
At the halfway point in the six-week enrollment period, 2.4 million people chose a plan for the 2019 coverage year on healthcare.gov, the federal health insurance exchange, according to data released Wednesday by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. That compares with nearly 2.8 million consumers who s... |
Among states with the largest enrollment drops: Pennsylvania (down 25 percent from last year), Missouri (down 25 percent) and Ohio (down 20 percent). |
The annual enrollment tally is being closely followed in part because 2019 marks the first year since the marketplace plans began in 2014 that Americans won’t be fined for failing to have coverage. |
But consumer experts think the lack of navigator funding could end up having a bigger impact on enrollment. Caroline Gómez-Tom, navigator program manager of Covering Wisconsin, said the end of the so-called individual mandate penalty has been a “non-issue” among people seeking coverage. |
Consumers generally have a greater choice of plans for 2019 as more companies enter the individual market and existing plans expand service areas. Plus, premiums are dropping in some areas, and where they are rising the rate of increase is among the lowest in several years. |
Katrina McGivern, director of policy and public affairs for the Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved, said people in rural areas of the state will have the most difficulty getting help as a result of funding cuts. |
Lebanon is yet to fully meet UN demands that it extend full control over all its territory and disarm militias including the Hizb Allah, a UN envoy said in a report. |
The envoy, Terje Roed-Larsen, said Lebanon's inability to exert control over some areas or rein in the militias was stalling its progress toward achieving full sovereignty after years under Syrian dominance. |
"Tangible results are yet to be achieved in these two fields, and I will continue my efforts in this regard," wrote Terje Roed-Larsen on Wednesday. |
While that step has been encouraging, the requirement to disarm, a clear reference to the Syrian- and Iranian-backed group Hizb Allah, has not been met, Roed-Larsen said. |
So too has there been little significant change in Lebanon getting control over all its territory. |
Roed-Larsen is UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's special envoy for implementation of Security Council resolution 1559, which called for Syria to withdraw all military forces and intelligence operatives as well as the disarmament of all militias in Lebanon. |
"Tangible results are yet to be achieved in these two fields, and I will continue my efforts in this regard" |
The report comes as the UN Security Council tries to pressure Syria to cooperate better with a UN-backed investigation into the 14 February assassination of Lebanon's former prime minister, Rafiq al-Hariri. |
Roed-Larsen's observations could be another tool in that effort. |
Syria withdrew its troops and intelligence officials last April, ending the country's 29-year presence in its smaller neighbour which began when Damascus sent troops to help quell what was then a year-old civil war. |
While resolution 1559 was adopted a year ago, it was al-Hariri's assassination, and the massive anti-Syrian protests it sparked, that spurred the Syrians to leave. |

Whatt are the actual foods to consume for a fibro diet? |
Do you mean for Fibromalysia? If so, you should try for a well-rounded diet. Eating a balanced diet is a good idea for anyone, regardless of whether you have fibromyalgia. That diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, low-fat dairy, and lean protein, such as chicken or fish. |
The energy. The atmosphere. The roar of the 20,674 fans at Providence Park on March 8, 2014. All of it hit Emily Menges as she watched the Portland Timbers’ home opener from a suite. She would be playing in this same arena in about two months, and the fan support for the Timbers of the MLS was insane. |
But that’s the men’s game, figured Menges, who was drafted in January 2014 by the Portland Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League draft. She returned to Georgetown University to finish classes and graduate before relocating to Portland for the start of the Thorns’ season. |
The seats at Providence Park were largely filled by a crowd of 14,124. The average attendance for home games her senior year at Georgetown was 358. |
Nothing in the country can compare to the home support given to women’s professional soccer in Portland. Through five games this season, the average attendance for Thorns home matches is 16,430. The Orlando Pride ranks second in the NWSL with an average of 8,299 through three home games. The Washington Spirit, which wi... |
Why does Portland receive this much support? It’s not the biggest city with an NWSL team: Houston, Seattle, Washington, Boston and Chicago all boast larger populations. |
The Thorns have reached at least the playoff semifinals in three of the four seasons since the NWSL was founded, claiming the championship in 2013. That’s in no small part to their advantage at Providence Park, where they have lost only five times since 2015 and own an all-time record of 28-13-8 in league play. This se... |
Visiting teams know how hostile it can get at Providence Park, a soccer-specific venue with a capacity of 21,144, second largest for an NWSL stadium behind Orlando. When Thorns Coach Mark Parsons held the same position with the Spirit he would look at the preseason schedule and circle the game at Portland. |
Members of the Thorns supporters’ club hold scarves that say, among other things, “Thorns Alliance.” They wave flags. They blow horns. They bang drums. They hold tifos. They sing, as Parsons said, nonstop and chant with curse words, even if children are present. |
“What we’re doing in the Rose City Riveters is not necessarily family-friendly,” said Sunday White, a capo for the Riveters, which means she is in charge of leading the chants and keeping the crowd cheering. You can’t miss her. She wears her hair in a tall mohawk that’s always colored differently. |
White has been a capo since the Riveters formed in 2013, shortly after the Thorns were announced as one of the eight founding members of the NWSL. About 45 people attended an initial meeting to create a fan club for the Thorns as fast as they could, “so we could be functional and supporting them by the first game,” Whi... |
They came up with the name Rose City Riveters a few months later, an homage to Portland’s nickname as well as the Rosie the Riveter icon. Ever since then, they have gathered for every match at the north end of the stadium, claiming sections 106, 107 and 108. Like the game against the rival Seattle Reign on July 30. Bot... |
Highlights from the match show the Thorns piling on top of Nadim after her goal. Then a camera scanned the crowd. It’s there that you see White, in a tie-dyed shirt and purple mohawk, standing in the north end. |
She waved a black skull-and-crossbones flag. |
Dispelling the Myth: Leaders Aren’t Born, They are Made. |
The next time you see a great leader working at your facility, ask him/her how they acquired their skill. Perhaps a great mentor or years of trial and error. Whatever the response, one characteristic is likely to be present, a deliberate investment in their personal leadership development. |
Mountain State University is helping corrections professionals make that investment possible. Training them to acquire the necessary leadership skills for success including how to motivate others to work together and produce positive results without trekking to a Campus or disrupting their current schedules. |
Currently Mountain State offers two online leadership degree options, a Masters of Science in Strategic Leadership and a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership. |
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — An Independence 18-year-old died Saturday morning and four others were injured after an overnight crash in Saline County. |
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s crash report says 18-year-old Kristen Moore was driving eastbound on Interstate 70 just after midnight when her car went off the roadway near mile marker 68. |
The report says a possible vehicle defect caused the car to skid off the road. Troopers say the car overturned multiple times, and four of the car’s five occupants were ejected. |
Moore was taken to a metro hospital where she was pronounced dead around 7:30 a.m. Saturday. |
Four passengers — two 17-year-old girls, a 19-year-old man and a 20-year-old man — who are all also from Independence were taken to nearby hospitals with serious injuries. |
The crash report says no one in the car was wearing a seat belt. |
A flurry of recent activity by federal authorities suggests there could be more fallout coming from the Baltimore Police Gun Trace Task Force case. |
An ATF agent in California, who is a former Baltimore officer and once worked with the ringleader of the GTTF scandal, left his job in late September. That happened just days before a major federal gun case in which he was the lead investigator was abruptly dropped without explanation. |
Asked for comment, federal prosecutors in California directed questions to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Baltimore. |
Late Friday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Derek Hines, one of the prosecutors on the Gun Trace Task Force case, filed new sealed documents in two dormant federal cases involving the former officer, Matthew Ryckman. |
In addition, a man serving jail time after being arrested by former GTTF Sgt. Wayne Jenkins said he was interviewed recently by federal authorities, who asked questions about other officers who were involved in his arrest. |
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland and the FBI field office declined to comment. |
Reached for comment Sunday night, Ryckman said he was caught off guard by a reporter's questions, and was attending an event and wasn't able to immediately comment. Responding to a subsequent text message asking about the recent events, he asked to not be contacted again. |
The series of moves comes as the final defendant charged in the Gun Trace Task Force corruption investigation pleaded guilty mid-trial on Thursday. In all, eight members of the Gun Trace Task Force, a former Baltimore and Philadelphia officer, and three additional associates of the officers were convicted in the case, ... |
The scandal revealed deep, widespread corruption in the unit, with officers admitting that they regularly robbed citizens and lied in official documents to cover their tracks. Jenkins admitted to misconduct dating back to 2010, and a co-conspirator said Jenkins had been stealing drugs and selling them back on the stree... |
A slew of other officers were implicated in court proceedings as being involved in stealing, though many of the accusations dated back several years. Still, federal authorities said their investigation was continuing. |
“To the extent that there’s facts and evidence that suggest there’s other misconduct … we will not rest, and follow the facts wherever they might lead,” U.S. Attorney for Maryland Robert Hur said Thursday. |
Ryckman spent 10 years as a Baltimore policeman, working with Jenkins in 2013 when Jenkins ran a Special Enforcement Squad. Ryckman worked on a Drug Enforcement Administration task force before joining the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Sacramento in 2016. |
This is the status of the nine officers involved in federal corruption case against members of the Baltimore Police Gun Trace Task Force. Members of the squad were found to have stolen thousands of dollars from people using their gun and badge, while bilking taxpayers by earning overtime pay when they weren’t working. |
On Sept. 21, Ryckman brought a major case in the Eastern District of California: a five-month undercover investigation that led to charges against four people accused of being involved in selling dozens of custom-made assault rifles and pistols. Federal agents had used $130,000 in government funds and made 25 controlle... |
An ATF spokeswoman, Alexandria Corneiro, confirmed that Ryckman left the ATF on Sept. 27. She would not say why. |
