When Walker didn’t maintain the payments that were a condition of his $100,000 bond, the GPS company Guarding Public Safety removed the required monitor, according to KHOU, the CBS affiliate in Houston. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said Guarding Public Safety sent one of its representatives to remove the ankle monitor on September 19. Ogg said this “loophole” in the ankle monitoring process is “troubling,” particularly in cases like this one where someone charged with murder has been able to walk free for at least two weeks....

Jemez was sacked by La Liga’s bottom club following its worst start to a season in more than 70 years, and that continued last weekend as the team was beaten 1-0 by Leganes. With Granada rooted to the foot of the table with just two points from seven games, Alcaraz has been given the task of keeping it in the Spanish top flight. The 50-year-old’s last role was with Levante in the 2014-15 campaign, his tenure lasting just more than one year before departing last October....

Hill was behind the bench at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Tuesday night for Duke’s win against Michigan; he chatted with Sporting News the next morning about that contest and a few other things. Hill was doing a round of phone interviews to promote his involvement with the Allstate NABC Good Works Team, a program that looks to highlight players who excel in areas of leadership and charitable activity.

Granulomas in Crohn’s Disease Granulomas are not specific to Crohn’s disease, but if seen are helpful in distinguishing between ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. But when a granuloma is found, and the patient has symptoms consistent with IBD, it can help a physician make a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. A granuloma cannot be seen during a colonoscopy because it is not a visible mass or nodule. It’s estimated that 15% to 25% of people with Crohn’s disease have granulomas....

We have achieved unprecedented prosperity and personal freedom. We are healthier, work at less exhausting jobs and live longer than ever. Government provides a safety net for the elderly and poor that never before existed. Many discriminations-based on race, sex or religion-have diminished sharply....

The breathtaking footage was recorded by Encinitas local Alex Higley, who paid a visit to Torrey Pines last week to get to grips with his new gadget. The footage, which has been captivating viewers on YouTube and Facebook, begins with the drone flying over a sparsely populated beach and above the ocean. With the footage being constantly beamed from the drone to Alex’s phone, he said he was “probably looking for just a couple of minutes” when he spotted the first shark, which was swimming along the coast, not far from the shore....

While there are several accounts of great whites (Carcharodon carcharias) scavenging on whale carcasses, this—say scientists writing in Marine and Freshwater Research—is the first documented observation we have of the apex predators preying on a living humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae). The attack was witnessed on February 17, 2017, by crew aboard the Oceans Research Institute’s research vessel, following a tip-off about a humpback whale entangled in discarded fishing gear. On inspection, they found a 23ft cetacean in poor health....

Most nerves are either sensory (providing information through your five senses), motor (providing movement), or mixed, meaning they serve both functions. The greater petrosal nerve is a mixed nerve that carries sensory fibers and parasympathetic fibers, which are part of the parasympathetic nervous system. The primary functions of this nerve are taste and secretomotor (dealing with secretions from glands). Anatomy The nerves of the head and face—the cranial nerves—are unique in that they originate in the brain, while the rest of the body’s nerves come from the spinal cord....

While there will be a comfort level between the rookie NHL coach and the Canucks youngsters right from the start, Green’s success – and that of the team – hinges greatly on his relationship with the Sedin twins. It’s one thing to push, prod and mentor young players trying to make their mark in the National Hockey League, it’s another skill altogether to get your star players to buy in to what you’re selling and perform at such a level that the rest of the roster falls into line....
