Paul Whelan: US marine held on spying charges claims he was injured in Russian jail
A former US marine who was arrested on charges of spying in Russia claims to have been “injured” in prison by the guards detaining him while he awaits trial.
Speaking to journalists during a court appearance in Moscow, Paul Whelan said: "I was injured in the prison... the prison doesn't want to tell you."
He added: "I am standing here in great pain due to an injury sustained in the prison by the prison guards."
Mr Whelan, who holds four passports - including a British one - is being held on accusations that he had received Russian state secrets.
He insists that he was framed, and that the USB drive he took from an acquaintance was meant tocontain holiday photos, not state secrets. The Whelan family also claims that he was in Moscow for a friend's wedding.
During his court visit, Mr Whelan requested hospital treatment. After he was evaluated by medics, the judge deemed that hospital care was not necessary.
Mr Whelan had previously pleaded to Donald Trump for his freedom, saying: "Mr President -- we cannot keep America great unless we aggressively protect and defend citizens wherever they are in the world.” | {

allies over Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs, or to the international sanctions imposed against it.
US President Donald Trump, in his first State of Union speech to Congress on Tuesday, branded North Korea’s leadership "depraved". He told Americans that its pursuit of nuclear missiles could "very soon threaten our homeland" and vowed a continued campaign to prevent that.
"Racial discrimination and misanthropy are serious maladies inherent to the social system of the US, and they have been aggravated since Trump took office," the North Korean paper said.
"The racial violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12 is a typical example of the acme of the current administration's policy of racism," it said.
Trump, who took office a year ago, had filled his cabinet with billionaires, it said, citing USSecretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnunchin and Secretary of Defense James Mattis.
"The total assets of public servants at the level of deputy secretary and above of the current administration are worth $14 billion," the paper said.
North Korea's paper said that genuine freedoms of the press and of expression did not exist in the United States and that crackdowns against the media had intensified in the past year.
More people have joined the ranks of the unemployed and the homeless, it said.

A TTC operator has minor injuries after some sort of incident involving a man armed with a knife on a subway train at Yorkdale Station.
Police say that they were initially called to the subway station for a report of a man with a knife sometime before noon.
According to police, officers took a 20-year-old man into custody at the scene.
Police say there were some reports that the suspect was holding the knife to the operator’s throat, though they say that those reports have not been confirmed.
Paramedics were dispatched to the station and the operator was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Subway service was briefly suspended between Wilson and Lawrence West stations but resumed at around 12:25 p.m.

Empire star Jussie Smollett has been hospitalised in a suspected “racially-charged assault” in Chicago, during which he was subjected to homophobic slurs and had a chemical substance poured on him.
The 36-year-old actor, who came out as gay on The Ellen Degeneres Show in 2015, was attacked at approximately 2am in E. North Lower Water Street on Tuesday (January 29).
Detectives are treating the assault as a potential hate crime.

So far, the president has held them off. But his present course creates a high risk of war with Iran, and a resumption of hostilities in Iraq not limited to the fight against ISIS, whether he knows it or not.
At the very least, Trump may cede the war issue to the Democrats. “We should end the forever wars, not start new ones,” tweeted Elizabeth Warren, the liberal presidential candidate who trails Trump in the battleground states and is even losing to him in Virginia, according to the latest Mason-Dixon poll, which hasn’t voted for a Republican White House aspirant since 2004. Why throw her a lifeline by implementing the foreign policy of candidates he defeated in 2016?

Complaint: Baker refused to write anti-gay words on cake
Jessica Oh | KUSA-TV
DENVER, Colo. - A Colorado bakery is under investigation for religious discrimination after a baker refused to write anti-gay words on a cake.
In March of 2014, a customer named Bill Jack requested several cakes in the shapes of Bibles from the Azucar Bakery in Denver, Colo., according to the bakery owner, Marjorie Silva.
Silva says Jack pulled out a piece of paper with phrases like "God hates gays" and requested her to write them on his cakes.
He wouldn't let employees make a copy of the paper and would not read the words out loud, Silva claims. The bakery owner also says the customer wanted an image of two men holding hands with an "X" on top.
"After I readpublic schools in the past, adding that he has appeared on numerous national radio and TV programs.
"It's unfair that he's accusing me of discriminating when I think he was the one that is discriminating," Silva said.
Nancy Leong, a University of Denver law professor, says she doesn't believe Silva violated any laws.
"This is not a situation where a business owner denied service to somebody," Leong said. "She offered to accommodate him to the extent that she could. In fact, requiring her to write that message would infringe on her own free speech rights."
The Department of Regulatory Agencies required an extension so a decision is not expected for at least a couple of months. | {

Last week, the U.S. State Department said China's use of force at the monastery to block demonstrations by protesting monks was inconsistent with freedom of religion and human rights. The Chinese Foreign Ministry later called the U.S. accusations "irresponsible," and said supplies are allowed to enter the compound.
The U.S. accusation was made after Tibetan exiles reported that residents near the monastery tried to block security forces from entering the facility and that police responded by beating protesters and unleashing attack dogs onLogin

Many World Cup matches were won in the final seconds -- like Sunday's final, which was a draw until Germany scored in the 113th minute against Argentina, winning the tournament.
It's proof that anything can happen in a World Cup match.
Also, we quickly learned that 90 minutes is never just 90 minutes.
The clock never stops, but referees keep track of injury time or stoppage time that's taken, and then those minutes are added on to the end of each half.

At least two enthusiastic fans managed to run onto the field during a World Cup match, but neither was shown on television.
A streaker sprinted onto the grass during Sunday's final match between Germany and Argentina and tried to kiss German defender Benedikt Howedes. The shirtless prankster was identified as Russian comedian Vitaly Zdorovetskiy.

That next day, the boy crossed paths with the girl between schools, came up close to her and shoved her into a metal fence, bruising her hand.
After this incident, the girl stopped attending school out of fear for her safety. She was treated for anxiety and depression and returned to school weeks later on a lighter schedule. She started taking online classes and wanted to continue marching in the band, though she was told she was not permitted to be in the band if she wasn't in school full-time.
In early October 2017, a school resource officer asked the mother whether she wanted to press charges against the boy for slamming her daughter into a fence. The mother said yes. That same month, her mother petitioned the courtfor a personal protection order against the student, which was issued on Oct. 25, 2017.
On Halloween, the mother followed up with Canton Police to find out the status of the investigation involving the metal fence incident.
Police told her the case was closed for lack of evidence, though her daughter had never been interviewed by police or anyone else.
Meanwhile, back at school, the stalking continued. The boy would show up in hallways and stare the girl down. School officials suggested the girl take a different route through school to avoid him, court records say.
On Nov. 2, 2017, the boy passed the girl on a path between schools and grabbed the sleeve of her sweatshirt. She reported the incident to school officials, with her mother on speakerphone.

Whistleblower and wage theft complaints: The Department of Labor said in late September it's reviewing whistleblower complaints against Wells Fargo. The DOL also said it was looking into allegations from former employees that the bank violated federal law by failing to pay workers overtime.
Internal review of retaliation claims: Wells Fargo is conducting an internal review of its confidential ethics line. The bank has already said that "a few" of the hundreds of cases it has reviewed have "raised questions" about potential retaliation.
Congress: The Senate Banking Committee continues to do oversight work on the Wells Fargo matter, and could accelerate those inquiries based on the results of the board investigation, a person familiar with the matter told CNNMoney.
The House Financial Services Committee continues to investigate WellsFargo's sales tactics and its settlements with federal regulators, according to a person familiar with the matter. Another House probe, run by the House Oversight Committee, is also still underway.
California & other states: The California attorney general served Wells Fargo with a search warrant in October citing "probable cause" that the bank's employees committed "identity theft" during the scandal.
A Wells Fargo filing indicates that multiple state attorneys general offices have looked into the bank's sales tactics.
Internal Wells probes of possible more fake accounts: The Wells Fargo settlement with regulators only covered accounts opened between 2011 until 2015. Faced with evidence the fraud took place earlier than that, Wells Fargo agreed to review accounts opened between 2009 and 2010 as well. That review is ongoing.

Copyright © 2020 The Washington Times, LLC.A Burlington business owner who used his store to sell pot will spend nearly two years in jail. Derek Spilman pleaded guilty to drug, gun and obstruction of justice charges. Our Calvin Cutler has details from court.
The business at 500 Church Street is where Spilman owned and operated the Good Times Gallery. It's also where he illegally sold pot to minors.
Monday afternoon, a federal judge handed down Spilman's sentence after he apologized to the court, his family and the greater Burlington community.
Spillman will serve 29 months behind bars to charges of illegally possessing three firearms, conspiring to distribute marijuana and obstruction of justice charges. He also has to pay $50,000 to the feds to make up for money that he made illegally. He's already paid back half of | {

Rain will blanket the state until Thursday - when the storm will peak - and then will continue afterwards as it tails off
Since the crisis began last Friday, Trump has seized on his role marshaling the federal response, issuing a disaster declaration for Texas and neighboring Louisiana and deploying 8,000 officials throughout the flood zone.
During a busy weekend, the White House released photos of the president - wearing a USA cap - huddling with aides, liaising with cabinet secretaries to discuss what he called a 'once in 500 year flood'.
Trump's remarks Monday on Hurricane Harvey were his first, aside from a string of tweets he sent over the weekend.
His split in focus between federal disaster relief for Texasand a host of other issues he delved into last weekend on Twitter came under scrutiny, but a senior U.S. official argued Monday morning that the president has the ability to multitask.
'The president is very, very engaged. He knows exactly what's going on,' said Rick Perry, the energy secretary and the longest-serving governor in Texas' history.

April 15 (UPI) -- The Texas Supreme Court denied a request by "affluenza teen" Ethan Couch to be released from prison.
The state's high court denied Couch's request to have his two-year sentence invalidated on the grounds a judge didn't have the right to move his case to adult court.
Couch, now 20, was 16 when he killed four people in a 2013 drunk driving crash. During his trial, a psychologist for the defense said Couch was a product of "affluenza" -- a mental condition that resulted from his privileged upbringing which prevented him from being able to distinguish right from wrong.
Couch was sentenced to 10 years probation and ordered to stay away from drugs and alcohol. In December 2015, he fled to Mexico with his mother after a videosurfaced purportedly showing him at a party where a beer-drinking game was being played, a possible parole violation. He and his mother, Tonya Couch, were found in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Dec. 28, 2015, after a two-week search. | {

within government ranks to refuse the proposal.
Mr Hockey said his decision, previously delayed by the Gillard government, was only one of 131 foreign investment proposals he had turned down since taking office.
He said key issues he considered in the decision were growers, stakeholders, and "the broader community" concerns.
"I therefore judge that allowing it to proceed could risk undermining public support for the foreign investment regime and ongoing foreign investment more generally. This would not be in our national interest," he said.
However, Mr Hockey said while he was not open to a 100% takeover, he would likely approve any approach from ADM to increase its shareholding from just over 19% to 24.95%.
"This would also provide a platform for ADM to build stakeholder support for potentially greater participation in theAustralian industry as it develops," he said.
But it had highlighted concerns within financial markets and economic circles that Mr Hockey was bound to the political calls he received before he made the decision.
It follows Mr Hockey declaring some weeks ago that he would not bullied by "anyone" on the proposal, despite even the Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss making his opinion on the matter known.

DOVER, Del. (AP) - As the number of overdose deaths from prescription painkillers has soared in recent years, pharmaceutical companies that manufacture opioid painkillers, and allied advocacy groups, have donated more than $500,000 to state and federal elected officials and major political parties in Delaware.
But Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Director Michael Barbieri, a former lawmaker who received industry donations himself, doesn't think drug companies are impeding efforts to address opioid abuse in Delaware.
A joint investigation by The Associated Press and the Center for Public Integrity found that drug companies and allied groups spent more than $880 million nationwide between 2006 through 2015 on campaign contributions and lobbying expenses at the state and federal levels.

In July 2016, the Department asked the court to suspend the mother's
visitation. The Department's request followed a supervised visit on July 8 in
which the mother stated she would "no longer need the services of CPS" and that
she would "be taking [her child] home." The visitation specialist ended the
mother's visit early, but allowed the mother and child to have a good-bye hug. At
that point, the mother started walking away from the visitation supervisor while
holding the child. Law enforcement arrived shortly thereafter and, ultimately,
allowed the child to leave with the visitation supervisor. The mother "admits that
she had a meltdown on July 8" and attributed her conduct to an adjustment of her
medication needs. At a hearing on July 16, 2016, the court suspended the

concluded that the mother was not in full compliance with court-ordered
services.3 While noting its concern about the mother not being fully engaged in
services, the court ruled the mother's visits with the child to continue as follows:
one supervised visit per week; the mother to secure transportation by the
evening prior to the visit; and the mother shall call the visitation supervisor on the
night prior to the visit.

Ryan Zimmerman Hits Three Home Runs As Nationals, Orioles' Power Surge Continues
Receive the latest capital-games updates in your inbox
The Beltway Series transitioned from Nationals Park to Camden Yards Wednesday, but the power surge that highlighted Tuesday's contest followed the Nationals and Orioles to Baltimore. Both teams combined for eight home runs during the Orioles' 9-6 victory, one night after combining for six in the Nationals' 9-3 win.
Your browser does not support iframes.
Ryan Zimmerman, who entered the game with just three home runs, matched his season output with the first three-homer game of his career. All three came off Chris Tillman, who Zimmerman had never faced prior to Wednesday's game.
It was the ninth time in Washington/Montreal franchise history that a player hit three home runs in a game, fiveof which have been by third basemen.
Roger Bernadina also added his second home run in as many nights, sending a moonshot onto Eutaw Street in the top of the fourth.
Yet while Zimmerman may have hit three home runs, the Orioles still staged a comeback from a 6-2 deficit thanks to home runs from Nick Markakis, Steve Pearce and Chris Davis, who hit his major league-leading 19th home run (his second of the game) to cap it. | {

Sixty-nine years ago today, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on Aug. 9, 1945, the U.S. dropped a plutonium bomb on the city of Nagasaki.
An estimated quarter of a million people died as a result, but only about half on the first day. The rest suffered inhumanely for days and months afterward from severe burns and radiation sickness before dying. Almost all of Hiroshima’s health care providers were killed.

hearing to happen before the pre-season draft and are now scrambling to find dates that suit as many members of the commission as possible.
Given the high stakes involved, the hearing will probably last more than one day.
The Crows sent a letter to their members last week, insisting they had not intended to break league rules when they struck the 2009 deal with Tippett.
At the heart of the controversy is a reported third-party agreement the Crows used to help secure the 2009 contract with Tippett.
Apart from the massive fines and draft penalties that would hit the Crows if the commission find against them, Trigg and Harper are also under immense pressure.
Leading Melbourne QC David Galbally, who will represent Tippett at the hearing, insists his client has done nothing wrong.
PlayerMedia playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Kazuo Ishiguro talks to BBC arts editor Will Gompertz
British writer Kazuo Ishiguro has won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature.
The novelist was praised by the Swedish Academy as a writer "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".
His most famous novels The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go were adapted into highly acclaimed films. He was made an OBE in 1995.
The 62-year-old writer said the award was "flabbergastingly flattering".
He has written eight books, which have been translated into over 40 languages.
When contacted by the BBC, he admitted he hadn't been contacted by the Nobel committee and wasn't sure whether it was a hoax.

said last month that Deng remained at home and in good health.
She said he was able to read "with the help of others", a hint that while he may no longer be able to read, he is able to understand when others read to him.
Deng has not been seen in public since the 1994 Chinese lunar new year festival when he visited Shanghai and appeared frail and faltering. He is now believed to be in fragile health and with fading lucidity.
State-run Chinese media rarely carry reports on Deng since he vanished from public view, partly because of failing health and his own desire to retire to play a behind-the-scenes role.
Deng retired from his last official position in 1990 and his only post is honorary chairman of China's BridgeAssociation, a title that reflects his lifelong passion for the card game.
Deng was in the public eye at the start of the new year when state television ran a 12-part documentary on his life, but without any details of his present circumstances and without interviews with his wife or children.

Southampton will face Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, while West Ham were handed a potential tie against Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle should they both progress.
Saints finished seventh in the Premier League last season and so were among the sides for Friday's draw in Nyon, Switzerland.
The fixture will see Southampton manager Ronald Koeman return to the Netherlands, where he previously managed Vitesse before moving to England.

Donald Trump's presidential transition period was an unusually chaotic period. To be sure, the crash-course process is difficult for even the most prepared and well-organized operations, but the Republican's team struggled more than most. As Inauguration Day approached, the incoming administration simply wasn't prepared to govern.
That was not for lack of effort on the part of the outgoing Obama administration. The week before Trump took the oath of office, Obama's team prepared an exercise in which the incoming team was presented with a series of hypothetical scenarios -- including one in which the world faced a deadly viral outbreak -- and how the U.S. federal government would have to respond.
Politico reported today on those exercises, and the fact that several attendees described the atmosphere as "'weird' at best,An update from the Kentucky Department of Health states there are now at least 99 cases of COVID-19 in the state.
The Jessamine County Health Department also reported the first case of COVID-19 in the county. They say a 25-year-old man is reportedly cooperating with isolation orders at his home.
In addition, A press release from the Madison County Health Department states there is now a second case of COVID-19 there.
The patient remains unidentified, but is in isolation and recovering at home.
The health department says they are working to identify and communicate with anyone who may have had contact with the individual.
It is unclear at this time if the second case in Madison County is included in the state's health department count of 99.

The incident occurred on a day when the government informed the legislative assembly that 12,021 farmers had committed suicide in Maharashtra between 2015 and 2018.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Marco Rubio brushed off his disappointing night Saturday after another round of losses and insisted his fortunes would shift on March 15, when states award their delegates on a winner-take-all basis.
“These states have a certain profile that other candidates do better in,” he said of Kansas, Kentucky and Louisiana, all of which voted Saturday and went for his opponents, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
But he framed his losses in all three states — after a three-stop barnstorm of Kansas on Friday — as part of his overall strategy to amass enough delegates to make a play for the nomination in the long run.

Someone on Twitter wrote it. American-born NBA rookie Michael Porter Jr. liked it. No international player in the NBA was surprised by it.
"The most overrated person I've seen in my life," the tweet said in response to an ESPN poll that showed Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic as the top vote-getter for who the 2018-19 Rookie of the Year would be. Porter, a former No. 1-ranked U.S. high school player drafted 14th by the Denver Nuggets, clicked his approval, though he later told ESPN the co-sign was "an accident" and that he reached out to Doncic to say as much.

their international careers on hold in 2011.
Influential players like Gyan, who has scored 39 goals for his country, Kwadwo Asamoah, Sulley Muntari and Dede Ayew all return from the 2010 squad.
But Ghana does struggle at the back, with a lack of quality in goal and defence.
In defence the successors to John Mensah and Isaac Vorsah come with little of the quality the centre back paring provided at past tournaments, while first-choice keeper Fatau Dauda has lost his place because of a lack of game time at club level.
Prediction:
Despite their enthusiasm, the Ghanaians will find it very difficult to advance past a group featuring the Germans and Portuguese. Ghana has a good record against USA, so should be favourite for third place in Group G.

yards out.
B.C. made Saskatchewan pay and went up by 10 late in the quarter when Jennings hit Arceneaux from 13 yards out for his career-high 13th TD catch of the season before Chris Rainey ran in a two-point conversion.
Arceneaux's previous bests came in 2015 when he had 76 catches for 1,151 yards and nine TDs, but he's been on another level in 2016.
"He's phenomenal," Jennings said of his favourite target. "He came in needing five catches for 100 receptions, and he eclipsed that easily."
McCallum, who rejoined the Lions after Richie Leone's kicking struggles reached a breaking point last week, booted the 719th field goal of his career from 24 yards out midway through the second quarter to a nice ovation.
"I'm pretty pleased with how my leg is rightconceded a single on Leone's ensuing kickoff before Bridge and Morris scored consolation TDs.
"We played well, but we left some plays out there and guys know that," said Lions linebacker Solomon Elimimian. "We feel good about ourselves and that's important going into the playoffs."
Notes: The winner of next week's game at B.C. Place will travel to Calgary to take on the Stampeders (15-2-1) in the division final on Nov. 20. ... Jennings joined Edmonton's Mike Reilly and Calgary's Bo Levi Mitchell as the only quarterbacks to surpass the 5,000-yard plateau this season. ...

lb Ralph Webb has dominated at Vanderbilt the last two seasons. He heads into his senior season without Will Holden at left tackle so he has to carry Vanderbilt's offense in 2017.
Ralph Webb SWOT Report
Strengths: Ralph Webb can attack the hole. He's a good pass blocker and can catch out of the backfield. Can run inside or outside. Has a high football IQ.
He's a three-down running back. Webb is great at cut backs. Creates separation. Had back-to-back seasons of 1,000 rushing yards
Has a ton of yards per carry. One successful cut by this running back allows him to blast through a hole. Another 1,000 yard season with 15 rushing touchdowns puts him in day 2 territory.
Weaknesses: Needs to add more muscle. Gets knocked flat on the ground whenthe 2018 Senior Bowl with a strong season, but I'm going to predict he ends up in the 2018 East West Shrine Game instead.
Threats: Ryan Nall has durability issues at Oregon State. That may scare some NFL teams away. I see a #2 change of pace running back in the NFL.
Potential Grade: 80/99
Before 2017
Ryan Nall played running back, fullback, tight end, defensive end, and outside linebacker in High School on both sides where he would rush off the edge. That made him very versatile as he led his High School team in Oregon to a State Championship. He hasn't had 1,000 rushing yards yet due to injuries, but he's a fun player to watch and potentially keep an eye on in 2017.

remains a major Trump booster, and sources familiar with Trump's fundraising efforts say he's set to play an important role on the West Coast.
Steven Mnuchin and Anthony Scaramucci
Both Wall Street financiers, Mnuchin and Scaramucci are leading Trump's campaign fundraising. Scaramucci is a well-known Republican donor who previously in this presidential cycle was on the national fundraising teams for Jeb Bush and Scott Walker.
Mnuchin is less known in GOP fundraising circles, having given more money to Democrats than Republicans over the years, but he is well-connected on Wall Street, and on Thursday evening was dining with multimillionaire hedge fund managers at a Las Vegas conference.

There are too many names to list in this category. In fact, most of the Republican donor universe could fit in the "unclear" category.

Charles and David Koch
The billionaire industrialist brothers, who control the most powerful donor network in conservative politics, have a 2016 cycle budget of $889 million. Don't expect them to spend a penny on Trump.
The Koch brothers loathe what Trump stands for. They cannot stand his tone or his policies, such as protecting large entitlement programs and banning Muslims from entering the U.S. Expect the Kochs to protect down-ballot Republicans and stay away from the presidential race.

White House prepares for border clash over billions, immigration and separation of powers
Democrats prepare expected resolution against Trump's emergency
February 21, 2019 - 4:28 am
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats will file a resolution Friday aimed at blocking the national emergency declaration that President Donald Trump has issued to help finance his wall along the Southwest border, teeing up a clash over billions of dollars, immigration policy and the Constitution's separation of powers.
Though the effort seems almost certain to ultimately fall short — perhaps to a Trump veto — the votes will let Democrats take a defiant stance against Trump that is sure to please liberal voters. They will also put some Republicans from swing districts and states in a difficult spot.

who accused porn star James Deen of sexually assaulting them. Deen, who was friends with Rayne, has denied the accusations.
RELATED: Farrah Abraham joins growing list of porn stars accusing fellow performer James Deen of rape
According to AVN (Adult Video News magazine), Rayne was found dead in her bed Saturday night or Sunday morning. AVN reported that she died in her sleep, but no official word on cause has been giving by authorities and an autopsy has not yet been completed. The site reported details are expected to be released later this week.
Rayne has been performing on camera since 2005.
In December 2015, Rayne told The Daily Beast that Deen punched her in the face during the filming of a sex scene in 2006. Rayne said Deen "brutally" penetrated heranus with his penis to the point that she "bled everywhere" and had to end the scene to get stitches.
SEE ALSO: Meet Amy Lindsay, the porn actress who starred in a Ted Cruz ad
In the same interview, Rayne said she worked with Deen years later, but that it was under supervision of a trusted director.
The allegations from the handful of adult stars began when Deen's former girlfriend Stoya, also a porn actress, tweeted that he refused to stop having sex with her after she said stop in November 2015.
Deen, who is active on social media, has not responded to the news as of noon Monday.

A judge spared a drug dealer from jail after hearing his alopecia had led to a life of ridicule and that selling drugs was a way of making friends.
Cameron Bridges started selling drugs after being frozen out by his peers for much of his school life and to support his £150 a day cocaine habit.
Bridges, of Polperro, Cornwall, admitted possession of cocaine, ketamine and cannabis with intent to supply, as well as possession charges and assaulting an emergency worker.
Truro Crown Court heard the 20 year old's life spiralled out of control until his arrest in May when he sought help and is now drug free.
Chris Andrews, defending, said:"At school he suffered five years of ridicule and bullying and sat out PE while other children laughed at him.
"It willcome as no surprise that at 12 he started smoking cannabis and at 15 he started using cocaine behind his parents' backs. Drugs gave him something he's never had before, a circle of friends and all of a sudden a social group. Suddenly people rang him and he was in demand."
Judge Simon Carr jailed him for two years, suspended for two years, and ordered him on a six month drug rehab order, a curfew and 150 hours of unpaid work. | {

U.S. Republican Rand Paul suspended his 2016 presidential bid on Wednesday after his small-government campaign failed to gain traction with voters.
The U.S. senator from Kentucky was the second Republican candidate, behind former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, to drop out of the race since Monday's night's Iowa caucuses. That contest launched the parties' process to nominate candidates for the November election.
"It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House. Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to fight for the cause of Liberty," Paul said in a statement.
In the Republican race, the libertarian-leaning Paul finished in fifth place in Iowa with 4.5 percent of the vote. U.S. Senator Ted Cruz finished first in Iowa, putting a dent in real estate tycoonDonald Trump's standing as front-runner to be his party's nominee.
Paul, who is also focused on winning another U.S. Senate term, said he would continue fighting for limited government, criminal justice reform and "reasonable" foreign policy.
The heir apparent to the libertarian-minded voters who helped his father gain a standing in the last two presidential elections, Paul struggled to attract support in a crowded Republican field.

The Centre Daily Times reported Jeffrey Sandusky's attorney said there was never any physical contact between his client and the victims.
Authorities said he knew the girls through their mother, and that a year ago their father turned over incriminating text messages sent by Jeffrey Sandusky.
A court affidavit said Jeffrey Sandusky told the girl he pressured for photos last year that "it's not weird because he studied medicine." He directed her"to not show these texts to anyone," police said.

including Airbus and Eurocopter - now known as Airbus Helicopters - to check if they were breaking trade embargoes.
The German government has come under pressure to reveal how much it knew about the alleged espionage and disclose a list of spying targets given to German intelligence by the US.
Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose own mobile phone conversations were allegedly snooped on by the NSA, has defended the BND, saying intelligence agencies had to co-operate with their foreign counterparts to combat international terror threats.
The reports are likely to cause embarrassment for the chancellor. In 2013, when she was the target of US spying, she admonished the Americans with the words: "Spying between friends, that's just not done."
Mrs Merkel grew up in East Germany, where citizens were routinely spied on bytheir own government.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere has meanwhile denied having had any knowledge of German intelligence malpractice.
He was directly responsible for the BND in 2008, when the agency first allegedly informed the chancellery that it was helping the NSA to spy on European aviation, aerospace and defence companies.
He is due to give evidence to the Bundestag's intelligence committee on Wednesday. | {

This isn't the first time this season the Braves broadcaster has found himself in hot water when it comes to his comments.

"They looked very unprofessional," Simpson said. "If I were a Dodger fan, I'd be embarrassed, and I don't know how Major League Baseball allows such attire when the gates are open."

Question of integrity
Mr Barroso said that as a lawyer he believed in the presumption of innocence, but that "here we are speaking about political conditions... it was no longer tenable for him to continue".
He said that in his 10 years as Commission president he had never experienced a similar situation, with such "serious allegations against the integrity of a commissioner directly related to the exercise of his duties". "And I never experienced a similar loss of confidence!" he added.
He saidthe Commission's integrity had been put at risk, in a way that could have been as damaging as the scandal in 1999 which forced Jacques Santer's Commission to resign en masse.

Therefore Israel has turned inward by default. Frightened by events on its border, it realizes that it has little control there and lacks clarity on what it wants. In the broader region, Israel's ability to rely on American control has declined.

Here’s How Obama Is Turning The American Presidency Into A Dictatorship
Under President Obama...
ALEXANDRIA, VA — From the beginning of recorded history to the present time, very few societies have lived in freedom. The Founding Fathers understood very well that freedom was not man’s natural state. Their entire political philosophy was based on a fear of government power and the need to limit and control that power very strictly.
That government should be clearly limited and that power is a corrupting force was the essential perception held by the men who wrote the Constitution. They limited government power and divided it between three branches (the legislative, executive, and judicial) so that one branch could serve as a check on the others.
In The Federalist Papers, James Madison wrote: “It may becriminal perjury charges. In this case, the president, by executive action, created a new crime.
The president’s decision to exchange five high-ranking Taliban leaders for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in May violated a federal law that required him to notify Congress 30 days in advance of releasing detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The Dream Act, a legislative proposal first introduced in Congress in 2001, would provide conditional permanent residence to certain illegal immigrants who graduated from U.S. high schools and arrived in the country as minors. Congress never passed this legislation. Yet, in June 2012, President Obama declared that, even though it was not the law, he would implement it.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated President Obama’s use of recess appointments. In January 2012, the president appointed senior officials | {

His contract at Minot State calls for him to earn $90,000 a year and runs through June 30, 2015. Hoffner said at Tuesday's news conference that with a raise he received before his arrest, he will make about $105,000 a year at Minnesota State, Mankato, and his contract goes through June 2018.
Minot State athletic director Rick Hedberg said the school wished Hoffner thebest and hoped there was closure for him and his family.
"We are disappointed that doesn't involve Minot State," Hedberg said. He said the school will move forward quickly to find a replacement.
Hedberg has said there was nothing in Hoffner's contract to block him from leaving, and the university had no contingency plan for that possibility.

FACTS
Robert Ellison was born on July 1, 1982. Between July 1, 1993 and May 25,
1995, Ellison allegedly raped two boys each who were eight years old. Ellison denies
uttering any threats or using force on the victims. Ellison and the two boys lived in the
same foster home. We lack precise dates for the alleged rapes, but the sexual contact
may have occurred on many occasions.
On June 22, 1995, the State of Washington charged Robert Ellison with two
counts of rape of a child in the first degree with the crimes occurring between July1,
1993 and May 25, 1995. Ellison was eleven years old at the beginning of the charging
period. On August 3, 1995, Robert Ellison, at age thirteen, pled guilty to two counts of
first degree child rape.
The record does not show that the juvenile court, during the 1995 prosecution,
performed a capacity hearing or made a determination of Robert Ellison's understanding
of the wrongfulness of the criminal acts. The juvenile court found Ellison guilty and
sentenced him to forty-two to fifty-six weeks in confinement and to register as a sex
offender. In the statement of juvenile on plea of guilty, Ellison wrote that the crimes
occurred "on or about between [sic] July 1, 1993 and May 25, 1995." Clerk's Papers

Over 400 delegates from 28 countries gathered recently in Havana for the 2nd Pan-American Congress of Physiological Sciences (May, 2019). It was quite an event, the level of science attesting to the quality of participants from the world over. The conference attracted more US scientists to Cuba than any other in the field of medicine over the last several years: 228. I find this number particularly noteworthy amidst the pressures they faced to keep them from coming. | {

Just ditch the tool designed to measure their successfulness. From Cato:
The Program Assessment Rating Tool was developed by the Bush administration in 2002 to track the effectiveness of government programs by requiring federal programs and agencies to submit periodic questionnaires describing their goals, progress, and results. PART is a well-intentioned effort to bring financial accountability to the federal government, and in 2005 it won an innovation award from Harvard.
Unfortunately, accountability seems to be a dirty word in Washington. The House Appropriations Committee recently approved a bill that would cut off PART's funding, effectively shutting it down.

As a result, Robidas will miss Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Kings.

On March 16, Robidas was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for boarding Ryane Clowe of the San Jose Sharks.
The Stars will have six defensemen still on the roster for Thursday's game but do have the option of calling up a defenseman like Philip Larsen from the Texas Stars of the AHL. | {
