[NR] Julie Swetnick’s former boyfriend Richard Vineccy told Fox News Monday that she threatened to kill their unborn child after he discontinued their relationship.
Vineccy also said that Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, asked him to hit her on occasion.
"Right after I broke up with her, she basically called me many times and at one point she basically said, ’You will never, ever see your unborn child alive,’" Vinneccy said on The Ingraham Angle.
Swetnick’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, dismissed Vineccy’s claims in a CNN interview Monday night, casting him as an aggrieved ex-boyfriend.
Vineccy, who dated Swetnick from 1994 to 1997, said she never discussed the recently publicized allegation that Kavanaugh touched girls without their consent at a series of parties in high school and was "present" when she was gang raped at one such gathering.
"Never, never once [did] she mention that to me," he said. "We used to talk about everything. She never once mentioned that at all. ... If you ask me personally if I believe her, I don’t believe her. I really don’t believe her. Nobody knows Julie Swetnick better than me."
[Sports Illustrated] Former Alabama head coach Mike DuBose suffered non-life threatening injuries after accidentally shooting himself while working on his farm, reports ESPN's Joel Anderson.
According to Anderson, DuBose drove himself to his hometown hospital in Opp, Ala., but he was then airlifted to another hospital. The extent of his injuries is not yet known. According to WSFA, an investigation has been opened into the incident.
The 65-year-old DuBose played at Alabama as a defensive lineman under Bear Bryant from 1972‐74, winning a national championship in 1973. He then coached the Crimson Tide from 1997‐2000, where he went 24‐23 and won the 1999 SEC title.
He hasn't coached collegiately since 2010‐11 at Memphis as an assistant, but he has worked with high schools in the area, according to WSFA.
[Via Universal Hub] - BOSTON ‐ An MS-13 member was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for racketeering conspiracy involving the murder of a 15-year-old boy in East Boston.
Carlos Melara, a/k/a "Chuchito," a/k/a "Criminal," 21, a Salvadoran national, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV to 36 years in prison and five years of supervised release. Melara will also be subject to deportation upon completion of his sentence. In April 2018, Melara pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity, more commonly referred to as RICO conspiracy.
On Sept. 7, 2015, Melara, along with Edwin Gonzalez, a/k/a "Sangriento," Henry Parada Martinez, a/k/a "Street Danger," and a juvenile MS-13 member participated in the murder of a 15-year-old boy on Constitution Beach in East Boston. The defendants targeted the victim in a "catfishing" scheme in which they used a fake Facebook account to trick the victim into thinking he was talking to a girl. In reality, the Facebook account was being controlled by Gonzalez and other MS-13 members to lure suspected rivals so that the gang could murder them.

[Smithsonian] Nurses in starched white uniforms and doctors in medical coats tended to babies in glass and steel incubators. The infants had been born many weeks premature and well below a healthy birth weight. Stores didn’t make clothes small enough to fit their tiny, skeletal frames so the nurses dressed them in dolls’ clothes and knitted bonnets.
A sign above the entrance read "Living Babies in Incubators" in letters so large they could be read from the other end of the Chicago World’s Fair grounds, which took place over 18 months in 1933 and 1934. The infant incubator exhibit was built at a cost of $75,000 (worth $1.4 million today) and was painted in a patriotic red, white and blue.
The men in charge were leading Chicago pediatrician Dr. Julius Hess and Martin Couney, who was known across America as "the incubator doctor." Couney was a lugubrious man in his 60s, with thinning gray hair, a mustache and a stoop, something he jokingly attributed to a lifetime of bending over babies. Couney and Hess employed a team of six nurses and two wet nurses.
Martin Couney had run infant incubator exhibits, in which premature babies were displayed to the public, for more than three decades, most famously at Coney Island in New York City. He had long been regarded by desperate parents as a savior, one who offered medical help to babies written off as "weaklings" by mainstream medicine.
But for Hess, who was accustomed to carrying out his work in a more conventional hospital setting, this was a career first.

NEW HAVEN — As an undergraduate student at Yale, Brett M. Kavanaugh was involved in an altercation at a local bar during which he was accused of throwing ice on another patron, according to a police report.
The incident, which occurred in September 1985 during Mr. Kavanaugh’s junior year, resulted in Mr. Kavanaugh and four other men being questioned by the New Haven Police Department. Mr. Kavanaugh was not arrested, but the police report stated that a 21-year-old man accused Mr. Kavanaugh of throwing ice on him “for some unknown reason.”
[DAWN] Indonesian volunteers began burying bodies in a mass grave with space for more than a thousand people on Monday, for victims of a quake-tsunami that devastated swathes of Sulawesi and left authorities struggling to deal with the sheer scale of the disaster.
Indonesia is no stranger to natural calamities and Jakarta had been keen to show it could deal with a catastrophe that has killed at least 844 people, according to the latest official count, and displaced some 48,000 more.
But four days on some remote areas are only now being contacted, medicines are running out and rescuers are struggling with a shortage of heavy equipment as they try to reach desperate victims calling out from the ruins of collapsed buildings.
In response, Indonesian President Joko Widodo opened the door to the dozens of international aid agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who are lined up to provide life-saving assistance.

[CAJNEWSAFRICA] DESPITE the broke country enduring an escalating cholera outbreak that has claimed dozens of lives, some Zim-bob-wean entrepreneurs are exercising their financial muscle by splurging on
multimillion-dollar vehicles.
The latest set of luxury wheels to turn heads as the water borne disease spreads with no end in sight is a mouthful ‐ a Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès, one of only 20 in the world.
Carrying a price tag of over US$3 million (about R42,5 million), it was offloaded on Friday at the Bob Muggsy Mugabe Nonagenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case. Dumped in November 2017 when the Missus decided she wanted to be president, and opposed heer might against Crocodile Mnangawa Important safety tip: If your opponent goes by the name Crocodile andf your title is Shopper in Chief let him win.... International Airport in the capital Harare, which is the epicentre of the cholera outbreak that had killed about 50 people and left 5 000 hospitalised by this past weekend.
It is said to belong to South African-based Zim-bob-wean businessman (name supplied to CAJ News).
According to the Bugatti website, the name of this highly exclusive model refers to the main Hermès store on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the eighth Arrondissement of Gay Paree, the "Fbg" stands for Faubourg.
The road beast represents a perfect blend of the technical and aesthetic finesse of Émile Hermès and Ettore Bugatti, according to the website.
With a top speed of 407 kilometres per hour, it the second luxurious car to be offloaded in Harare in as many months.
In August, as the cholera outbreak was confirmed, a Bugatti Veyron, Diamond Edition, was delivered.
The car is a special edition of the Veyron 16.4, which was limited to four units globally.
Media speculated it belonged to a Zim-bob-wean businessman based in South Africa.

That needs to change, perhaps with a lot of bloodshed.
[All Africa] The five-year civil war in South Sudan has killed about 400 000 civilians, which is higher than initially thought.
Around half of the lives have been lost through violence while most deaths occurred in the northeast and southern regions of the country, and appeared to peak in 2016 and 2017.
These are among findings of by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, which further established that those killed were mostly adult males but also included women and kiddies.
As of early 2018, the war had caused the displacement of about 2 million people within South Sudan and a further 2,5 million as refugees to neighbouring countries.
Although a Compromise Peace Agreement was signed in August 2015, temporarily leading to shared government, it broke down in July 2016, resulting in the conflict gaining intensity and spreading geographically.
The humanitarian response to this crisis is among the largest worldwide, targeting about 6 million people with a total funding requirement of US$1,7 billion.
"The findings indicate that the humanitarian response in South Sudan must be strengthened and that all parties should seek urgent conflict resolution," authors of the report stated.

[Independent] An American navy ship came dangerously close to a Chinese warship during a recent exercise, forcing the US destroyer to perform evasive manoeuvres to avoid a collision.
The incident has been called an "unsafe" encounter between the two ships by Pentagon officials, and at one point the Chinese ship was reportedly around 45 yards from the American vessel.
"A [Chinese] Luyang destroyer approached USS Decatur in an unsafe and unprofessional manoeuvre in the vicinity of Gaven Reef in the South China Sea," Captain Charles Brown, a spokesman for US Pacific Fleet, said in a statement.
Mr Brown said that the Chinese ship "conducted a series of increasingly aggressive manoeuvres accompanied by warnings for the Decatur to depart the area".
The US warship was in waters near the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. The crew was conducting a freedom of navigation routine, which is a regular mission and intended to ensure open trade routes.
The close encounter comes as the US and China have seen an increasingly tense relationship, with the two super powers disagreeing over trade policy, and on issues related to election meddling. Just recently, officials with the Department of Defence told CNN that Defence Secretary James Mattis has cancelled a planned trip to Beijing later in October.

Cue Fred Thompson in Hunt For Red October ("this business will get out of control.")
Shame on me, but my first reaction was that after the McCain and Fitzgerald incidents the Chinese captain had brass equipment to get that close to a USN ship. Somebody please tell me I'm wrong.

[ABC] Amazon, which has faced political and economic pressure to raise pay for thousands of employees, is boosting its minimum wage for all U.S. workers to $15 per hour starting next month and said it will push for an increase in the federally mandated minimum wage, which now stands at $7.25 per hour.
"We listened to our critics, thought hard about what we wanted to do, and decided we want to lead," said Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and CEO.
The wage hike will go into effect as Amazon hires more than 100,000 holiday workers to pack and ship goods in its warehouses. Employers are facing the tightest job market in nearly two decades, making it more difficult to lure workers who have a lot more choices about taking a job than just a year ago.

Buying good PR in an competitive labor environment. You have to raise it to get the better employees. Adam Smith's invisible hand, not the heavy hand of government fiats (see - Venezuela).

As near as I can tell about $ 12.00/hr is near the floor even in low income areas these days. Welcome to all the inflation everyone says isn't going on.

Amazon is already well on the way to automating every job they can. Wage increases just hasten the pace. This is a PR stunt.

This is a PR stunt.
Maybe. It is true that Amazon is automating the hell out of anything they can.
But there is more going on as well. Near as I can tell, the economy is ramping up. Demand for workers is up, especially since a lot of people left the labor market during the Dread Obama Years. Classical economics predicts that if there is a shortage of something, the price for it will rise.
Note that this is NOT the same as an artificially inflated 'minimum wage'.

Having worked through three peaks, my 2cents. This is being rolled out just in time for Peak. Locally there are a lot of HELP WANTED signs up at every fast food place I visit. I hurt my foot so I tried to get a lawn service to cut my grass but to no avail. Amazon also doesn't work in a vacum. Last year Walmart was hiring seasonal workers at a higher pay rate than Amazon. The Walmart.com warehouse is huge. When it opened I stopped at Burger King across the road and they were out of eggs!
Automation can only do so much. If you see how the Fulfilled by Amazon comes in you would need an Azimov type robot to deal with all the strange ways things are packed. Also a failure in automation can shut down the entire building, People can work around problems.
One of the main beefs people had with Amazon was that people woking there had the pay determined by the average retail worker wages rather than the average warehouse worker's. Where I work there are often signs advertising for warehouse workers saying things like $30 a hour with small print saying "up to".
So I will see what this means to me in November when this takes effect. Predidtion by next year people will be griping about pay.

I really don't know where this piss bottle story comes from. I've never seen anyone be told they have to ask permission to go to the bathroom. The main thing people bitch about in our building is there are no bathrooms on the second floor. Nobody took my suggestion of installing fireman poles by the bathroom since going down is more important than climbing back up the stairs.
You can get written up for time off task but I think this would apply to someone who takes several hour or 2 "bathroom breaks". The people you really have to be worried about doing stuff like that is your co- workers that have to slow down because you are f-ing off. Case in point at the sort center somebody managed to scan a whopping 5 packages an hour. The manager made a point of saying don't worry about me worry about your co-workers bitching to me about it.
IMAO, Amazon does have its flaws but it isn't a terrible place to work. If you wanted something as first job I would recommend it since other employers seem to be impressed by you working there. Working during peak is where things can really get crazy. You never know when things are going to suddenly go completely crazy.
General Electric Co. GE 7.09% fired Chief Executive John Flannery after 14 months in the job as deeper problems in the conglomerate’s troubled power unit blindsided the board and caused GE to warn it would miss profit and cash targets.
The company named board member Larry Culp, who became a director in April, its new chairman and CEO, effective immediately. Mr. Culp, a former CEO of Danaher Corp. , had joined GE’s board as part of a broader shake-up of the struggling conglomerate.
Shares of GE, which have tumbled by half during the past year after the company slashed its dividend and missed financial targets, rallied on the news. On Monday, the stock rose 7.1% to $12.09.
[DAWN] The Islamabad High Court on Monday dismissed a petition against Dawn newspaper regarding its editorial policy.
The Civil Society of Pakistain, through its chairman Muhammad Tahir, had filed a petition against Dawn, questioning its "conduct" and urging the court to unmask the people behind what it claimed was the publication's "anti-state policy".
After advocate Tahir Abdullah appeared before the court on the petitioner's behalf today, a single-member bench of the high court comprising Justice Muhasan Akhtar Kiani declared the petition as non-maintainable before proceeding to dismiss it.
Justice Kiani advised the petitioner to approach the Press Council of Pakistain, which he remarked was the right forum for his concerns.

[DAWN] Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Afridi on Monday said that the recent case of sexual assault of a female police constable in Islamabad was a test for his ministry and the capital police.
After a female constable reported being subjected to sexual assault by an unidentified individual on Saturday, Afridi visited the victim at the Polyclinic Hospital today to enquire for her health and well-being.
"This is a test case for my ministry as well as the Islamabad police," the minister for interior said while talking to DawnNews.
"We are taking every possible measure to ensure the arrest of the culprit," assured Afridi.
Article continues after ad
The incident concerning the constable had taken place on Saturday night when she was returning home via the highway.
Senior Superintendent Police Amin Bukhari had confirmed the assault, saying the attacker expeditiously departed at a goodly pace of the crime.
According to an initial medical examination at Polyclinic Hospital, the woman was sexually assaulted by one person, police said.
An FIR under Section 443(18) against an unknown suspect was registered by the victim herself on the night of the incident.
Afridi said that during patrolling hours, effective measures, particularly for women, need to be taken so that incidents such as the assault of the female constable could be prevented.
The minister stressed the need for best practices to be implemented in the federal capital, which can later be replicated in provinces.

STOCKHOLM/LONDON (Reuters) - American James Allison and Japanese Tasuku Honjo won the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine on Monday for game-changing discoveries about how to harness and manipulate the immune system to fight cancer.
The scientists’ work in the 1990s has since swiftly led to new and dramatically improved therapies for cancers such as melanoma and lung cancer, which had previously been extremely difficult to treat.
"The seminal discoveries by the two Laureates constitute a landmark in our fight against cancer," the Nobel Assembly at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute said as it awarded the prize of nine million Swedish crowns ($1 million).
Allison and Honjo showed releasing the brakes on the immune system can unleash its power to attack cancer. The resulting treatments, known as immune checkpoint blockade, have "fundamentally changed the outcome" for some advanced cancer patients," the Nobel institute said.
Current lasers can city through steal easy enough but require a large room full of support cabinets and power amps. Such a satellite would be massive and thus a target; lasers are finicky and need attention; laser gasses would have to be replaced; laser beams are always expanding or contracting and thus have limits on range and this is long range; atmosphere and water are going to kill the power to nothing before it can hit a sub.

Assuming this is legit, an obvious countermeasure would be unmanned decoy submarines.
Cheap hulls in the right shape, plus some simple propulsion and a computer putting these contraptions on a random but plausible course would probably look like real subs to Guanlan's first iteration.
Of course this would only be the first step in an arms race. Both decoys and detectors would improve.

As a counter-measure I would (1) use mirrored decks on surface ships that would deflect the bulk of a laser strike (2) Tactics to have subs roll and dive to ensure the laser can't continue to hit the same spot for more than a few seconds (3) Constant ground based lasers aimed at the satellite to encourage self-tasing and prevent the thing from firing at all.
The cool temperature of the ocean would also be wonderfully helpful for subs to defuse the laser heat before it could cut into the subs hull.
The Army adopted its battle rifle in 1963 and has spent 55 years looking for a replacement for the M-16 and its variants.
They might have found it in Martin Grier’s Colorado Springs garage. Grier, a self-described inventor who has worked at a local bed and breakfast, built the new "ribbon gun" with a hobbyist’s tools. It looks like a space-age toy drawn by a fifth-grader.
But goofy origins and cartoon-looks aside, this could be the gun of the future. The Army is studying Grier’s gun and has ordered a military-grade prototype.
The specifications are incredible, four 6 mm barrels cut side by side within one steel block. New ammunition blocks fired by electromagnetic actuators that could theoretically give the weapon a firing rate of 250 rounds per second.
And then there’s the feature no soldier would turn down. "It’s called a power shot," Grier said.
That’s the shotgun feature of this sniper-shot, machine-assault gun that can send four bullets simultaneously whizzing toward an enemy at more than 2,500 mph.
It isn’t science fiction. He’s built the gun and patented the technology behind it. Now his garage-based company, FD munitions, is hoping the Army will buy it.
"A multibore firearm, with several bores within a single barrel, could potentially exhibit many of the advantages of a multibarrel design, while reducing the size, weight and complexity disadvantages," Grier wrote in his 2016 patent application.

....This is a truly cool idea, and there are aspects of it that I think will be incorporated into future weapons - but it's not too likely this will ever be a new battlefield rifle for the US. Way too complex, unlikely to survive battlefield handling, and in order to use it poor Private Snuffy needs to lug around yet another battery and a heavy set of ammo blocks.

Heat is not your friend. How is it cooled at these firing rates? Moreover, I'd worry about electromagnetic actuator melt-down. Needs a thorough testing.

[HotAir] President Donald Trump’s administration this week began denying visas to the unmarried, same-sex partners of foreign diplomats and officials and employees of the United Nations ‐ making marriage a requirement to be eligible for a visa.
The policy was made effective Monday. He sure knows how to get their goat!
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump told reporters that Congress would only approve $1.6 billion for a wall in the pending 2019 budget, dashing hopes that Congress would provide $5 billion for a concrete border-wall in 2019.
"I want borders," he said in a Wednesday afternoon press conference, adding:
We’re getting another $1.6 billion in border [funding]. We’ve spent $3.2 [billion], and we’re spending another $1.6 [billion] and then eventually we’re getting the whole thing and we’ll complete the wall ...
Trump’s statement reinforces news reports that Trump will approve the GOP leadership’s plan to pass a bill funding several agencies this week, and postpone passage of the funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security until after the election.
Conservatives fear Trump will be in a weaker position after the election to pressure Republicans and Senate Democrats to approve his wall-spending plan for 2019. The Washington Post reported:
[Daily Caller] Georgetown Professor C. Christine Fair tweeted over the weekend that "entitled white men" should have their corpses castrated and then fed to pigs.
Fair, an associate professor in Georgetown’s Security Studies program, tweeted, "Look at thus [sic] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement."
Fair linked to a video of Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham defending Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh from allegations of sexual assault from when the judge was in high school.
"All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps," Fair wrote. "Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes."
