Don't know if she is or was ever a smoker but the non-smoker lung CA is very very bad. I hope she gets the best possible care regardless of prognosis.

[BBC] A bank in Ohio has apologised for calling police on a black man who was attempting to cash his pay cheque.
Paul McCowns, 30, had gone to the Huntington Bank branch in Brooklyn, Ohio - a suburb of Cleveland - with his first cheque from his new job.
After providing two forms of ID and giving his fingerprints, as requested, the bank staff refused to cash the cheque, and asked him to leave.
Unbeknownst to Mr McCowns, they also called police who later detained him.
"It was highly embarrassing," Mr McCowns told Cleveland 19 News.
WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED?
The incident on 1 December occurred after Mr McCowns arrived at the bank to cash his cheque of over $1,000 (£800), earned after three weeks in his new job.
Because he does not have an account with Huntington Bank, they required him to provide two forms of ID, and also insisted that he provide his fingerprints.
After multiple cashiers examined the cheque, he says, they refused to cash it and asked him to leave.
But without informing Mr McCowns, they had also called 911 and reported that he was trying to cash a fraudulent cheque.
Police handcuffed him and put him in a squad car as they called his employer, who he said told officers: "'Yes, he works for me, he just started, and yes, my payroll company does pay him that much.'"
In a statement Huntington Bank said it "sincerely apologises to Mr McCowns for this extremely unfortunate event."
Mr McCowns, who cashed his cheque at a different Huntington branch the next day, said the apology was insufficient.
"I want an apology, a sincere apology, mainly from the person who called the cops on me."
According to Brooklyn police, there have been over 10 calls to police about fraudulent cheques from that bank branch alone in the past few months - all of which ended in arrests.

[Universal Hub] - MS-13 member gets six years for 'protecting' coke shipment; had earlier attacked rivals in Maverick Square
A federal judge today sentenced Cesar "Cheche" Martinez for his involvement in a local MS-13 gang based in Everett called Eastside Locos Salvatrucha.
A US District Court jury had earlier convicted Martinez on RICO charges for his membership in MS-13 in general, and in particular for his role in serving as an escort for a a 1-kilo shipment of cocaine - which he did not realize at the time was going from one undercover federal agent to another as part of a sting operation.
But according to a sentencing request by federal prosecutors, Martinez created some of the violence for which the local gang was known. In 2008, he and three other MS-13 members went to the Maverick Square Blue Line stop and "attacked a group of gang rivals with a machete, a baseball, and knives before retreating to Martinez’s home." And on Dec. 14, 2014, Martinez drove two of his gang pals from their home base - a garage in Everett - to meet a third gang member in Chelsea so they could kill a rival gang member. Martinez was also involved in planning the murder of an MS-13 member others thought was ratting them out to the feds.
Martinez was one of 61 people arrested in raids aimed at MS-13 in 2016 - 49 of whom have since either pleaded or been found guilty.

[Wash Examiner] A crowdfunding page to raise money for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border surged past $10 million Thursday night.
Brian Kolfage, a triple amputee veteran who served in Iraq, created the project Monday with the intent of raising $1 billion for construction of a barrier at the international boundary. The site does not state where on the 2,000-mile border a wall would be built.
As of late Thursday, more than 166,000 people had given to the campaign.
"If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall. That equates to roughly 5Billion Dollars, even if we get half, that's half the wall. We can do this," Kolfage wrote.
However, President Trump in January asked for $25 billion from Congress to fund a variety of border security projects, including infrastructure, technology, and additional personnel. The White House is currently fighting for $5.7 billion of funding in the Department of Homeland Security's fiscal 2019 appropriations.
"Democrats are going to stall this project by every means possible and play political games to ensure President Trump doesn’t get his victor. They'd rather see President Trump fail, than see America succeed," Kolfage wrote. "However, if we can fund a large portion of this wall, it will jumpstart things and will be less money Trump has to secure from our politicians."
Kolfage vowed to return everyone's money if they cannot reach $1 billion.

[Al Jazeera] An Egyptian court has acquitted 40 pro-democracy NGO workers, in a retrial of a long-running case that has strained the country's relations with the United States.
In 2013, 43 Americans, Europeans, Egyptians and other Arabs were sentenced to jail terms ranging from one to five years on various charges, including operating non-governmental organizations (NGOs) without necessary approval. Their offices were ordered to close.
In April, Egypt's top appeal court overturned the jail sentences of 16 of the workers and ordered their retrial.
Many of the defendants, including at least 15 Americans, left Egypt at the time and received five-year sentences in absentia.
The remaining three defendants who were not acquitted on Thursday are among those who were sentenced in absentia, but did not apply for a retrial, a judicial source said.
Beginning in late 2011, Egypt's crackdown on organizations, including US-based groups linked to its two main political parties, caused outrage in Washington, which supplies Cairo with $1.3bn in military aid each year.
The court at the time ordered the closure of the NGOs involved in the case, including the US-based International Republican Institute (IRI), National Democratic Institute (NDI) and Freedom House.
The Americans sentenced in absentia include the son of then-US transportation secretary Ray LaHood.

[DAWN] South African authorities issued an arrest warrant for Grace Mugabe, the wife of Zim-bob-we’s former leader who was accused of assaulting on woman in Johannesburg last year, South African police said on Wednesday.
The warrant follows a long legal process during which a South African court this year ruled that the government acted illegally in granting diplomatic immunity to Mugabe when the alleged attack was first reported.
It also marked another setback for Grace and 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.... , who have kept a mostly low profile since the former president was forced from office in November 2017. Robert Mugabe, whose command over Zim-bob-we once seemed impregnable, is now 94 years old and ailing.
"I can confirm that a warrant for the arrest of Grace Mugabe was issued last Thursday. We are following the Interpol processes," said South African police Brig. Vishnu Naidoo.
Whether Zim-bob-we would assist South African authorities with any extradition request is in doubt, though the arrest warrant means Grace Mugabe would be vulnerable if she visits her sons, who stay in South Africa. She also owns a house there.
Grace Mugabe allegedly attacked model Gabriella Engels in an upscale hotel on Aug 13, 2017, whipping her with an extension cord that cut her forehead. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... Mugabe was allowed to return to Zim-bob-we despite calls for her prosecution. She travelled with her husband, who was then president of Zim-bob-we and attending a regional summit in Pretoria.
Robert Mugabe was ousted only a few months later after a military takeover, impeachment proceedings led by the ruling party that once backed him and large demonstrations for his removal.

[BBC] Shooting down a drone which has caused chaos at Gatwick Airport is a "tactical option" being considered by police.
The measure had previously been ruled out by Sussex Police, which cited concerns over "stray bullets".
But with the airport expected to remain closed on Friday, Det Ch Supt Jason Tingley said the force would "do what we can to take that drone out of the sky".
The Army has been deployed to assist the police operation.

Also, further reports say that these are not hobbyist sized UAVs but rather Industrial Sized UAVs - this means $20,000 - $50,000 sized object and there have been up to 50 of them at Gatwick. So $2,000,000 -1mil up to +3 mil - invested in this operation. That sounds like a state or sheik funded GoFundMe

Counter drone firing a net. Sounds like fun to me.
[Wash Times] Border Patrol agents tracked an ultralight aircraft as it crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and made it 30 miles into the country early Tuesday morning ‐ and when they got to the landing spot, they found two Chinese men who had been smuggled in by the aircraft.
The ultralight had escaped, lifting back off and returning to Mexico, but agents say they did manage to nab a Mexican man waiting in a vehicle near the landing zone in southern California, apparently ready to pick up the Chinese men and deliver them to their destination.
Experts said they had seen ultralights, small aircraft powered by lawn mower-sized engines, used to drop loads of drugs in the U.S. But they were surprised to see them being used to ferry illegal immigrants.
"It’s disturbing," said Chris Harris, who retired this year after a two-decade career as a Border Patrol agent in San Diego and who suggested it could be a way for cartels to get dangerous people across the border. "If you want to get some operatives in this country very quickly, that’s a way."
Gloria I. Chavez, chief patrol agent in the El Centro sector of the Border Patrol, agreed that ultralights pose a threat to "national security."

Would supplying the Border Patrol with anti-aircraft guns over kill? However we should wait until after Christmas Eve so Santa Claus has time to clear the border.

My nephew (Border Patrol) says that they've been hauling people (1-2 per trip) for some time, but on an occasional basis. The consensus is that those folks being transported are the high-paying kind and probably we should be very concerned as to who they are.
These light aircraft can be set up near the border and flown in a relatively short amount of time. Our radar wouldn't even indicate that something was up until they were part way into the 30-minute or so flight. Almost too late to scramble.

Great way to bring in nuclear materials, carfentanil & other weapons of mass destruction in very small packages. This has probably already happened.
[DAWN] North Korea on Thursday said it will never unilaterally give up its nuclear weapons unless the United States first removes what Pyongyang called a nuclear threat.
The surprisingly blunt statement jars with Seoul’s more rosy presentation of the North Korean position and could rattle the already fragile diplomacy between Washington, Seoul and Pyongyang to defuse a nuclear crisis that last year had many fearing war.
The latest from North Korea comes as the United States and North Korea struggle over the sequencing of the denuclearisation that Washington wants and the removal of international sanctions desired by Pyongyang. The statement carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency also raises credibility problems for the liberal South Korean government, which has continuously claimed that North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... is genuinely interested in negotiating away his nuclear weapons as Seoul tries to keep alive a positive atmosphere for dialogue.
The North’s comments may also be taken up as proof of what many outside skeptics have long said: that Kim will never voluntarily relinquish an arsenal he sees as a stronger guarantee of survival than whatever security assurances the United States might provide.
The statement suggests that North Korea will demand that the United States withdraw or significantly reduce the 28,500 American troops stationed in South Korea, which would be a major sticking point to a potential disarmament deal.

[SpaceNews] A cyberattack that may have compromised information about current and former NASA employees is only the latest sign of ongoing information security problems that have plagued the agency for years.
In a Dec. 18 memo to NASA employees, Bob Gibbs, assistant administrator for the office of human capital management, said that the agency was investigating a “possible compromise” of NASA servers first detected in October. Those servers, he said, stored personally identifiable information about NASA personnel, including Social Security numbers. The memo was first published by NASA Watch.
“NASA and its Federal cybersecurity partners are continuing to examine the servers to determine the scope of the potential data exfiltration and identify potentially affected individuals,” Gibbs wrote, saying that process would take time. “The ongoing investigation is a top agency priority, with senior leadership actively involved.”
The scope of the data breach is unclear, but Gibbs said in the memo it could affect both current NASA civil servants as well as those who joined or left the agency, or transferred between centers, as far back as July 2006. He said that when it knows who has been affected, NASA will contact them to provide more information including providing identity protection services. Systems related to the operation of NASA missions were not compromised, he added.
“Our entire leadership team takes the protection of personal information very seriously,” Gibbs wrote. “Information security remains a top priority for NASA.”
However, NASA’s cybersecurity efforts have been criticized for years by its own Office of Inspector General (OIG), who has noted in a series of reports shortfalls in overall information technology (IT) management as well as security issues in particular.
“Through its audits, the OIG has identified systemic and recurring weaknesses in NASA’s IT security program that adversely affect the Agency’s ability to protect the information and information systems vital to its mission,” the office stated in its latest semi-annual report, dated Oct. 31.
[Express] FORMER Greek MP Costas Lapavitsas took a swipe at the European Union accusing the Brussels bloc of pushing EU citizens to "reject" its "dictating" policies and allowing the strengthening of right-wing parties across the continent.
The Professor of Economics at London's SOAS University claimed the European Union is "depoliticising" economic policies across member states regardless of their political orientation. This, he explained, is forcing people to ask themselves "What is the point of voting?" given no matter which Government they put in power it will have to follow the same strict economic rules dictated by the Brussels institutions.

[PRESSTV] Spain's socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez Spanish and the regional leader of Catalonia agreed Thursday to find a solution to the political crisis that has been festering since a failed secession attempt by the region last year.
The agreement was reached in a meeting in Barcelona between Catalan regional President Quim Torra and PM Sánchez, whose Socialist administration has taken a more conciliatory approach to the independence issue than its conservative predecessor.
Following the meeting, their governments issued a joint statement calling for a "commitment for effective dialogue that leads to a political proposal that has the backing of large part of Catalan society."
The statement, which The News Agency that Dare Not be Named has seen, was read out by the spokeswoman of the Catalan government, Elsa Artadi, after the meeting.
Artadi says that members of the two governments have agreed to meet again in January.

[FOXNEWS] The German magazine Der Spiegel revealed Wednesday that one of its top award-winning journalists fabricated many of his articles, inventing characters, sources, and their quotes "on a grand scale" for many years.
Claas Relotius, a news hound and editor, admitted to fabricating parts of at least 14 stories following the magazine’s internal investigation. The publication said the issue "marks a low point in the 70-year history of Der Spiegel."
"I am sick and I need to get help," he reportedly told the magazine.
The news hound contributed around 60 articles to Der Spiegel, one of the leading German magazines for investigative reporting. He previously worked for other publications in Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and won awards such as CNN Journalist of the Year in 2014.
The fabricated articles include a phone interview with the parents of free agent NFL player Colin Kaepernick Formerly a petulant second or third string quarterback for the San Francisco Giants, now looking for a job. He was willing to stand up for his princles by kneeling during the national anthem, which he had every right to do, but not willing to take the consequences, which he apparently thought didn't apply to him... and a story about an American woman who claims to have volunteered to witness the executions of death row inmates.
Relotius also drew the fury of locals in Fergus Falls, Minn., after spending three weeks in town and fabricating facts, characters and quotes from people in an effort to portray the town in a negative light.
"What happened is beyond what I could have ever imagined: An article titled ’Where they pray for Trump on Sundays,’ and endless pages of an insulting, if not hilarious, excuse for journalism," wrote Michele Anderson and Jake Krohn who investigated Relotius’ Der Spiegel article about the town.
Both Anderson and Krohn went on to reveal that the article doesn’t contain any truth except for the town’s population, the average temperature, and names of the businesses or public figures.
Nearly everything else, including a coal plant employee named Neil Becker, who doesn’t actually exist, or quotes from a restaurant employee, who was falsely called the owner of a restaurant and whose son was given a fictional illness, was made up.
Relotius’ work was first called into question in November after another news hound for the magazine worked with him on a story about a border militia in Arizona. The news hound found that the supposed interviews never happened.
The Relotius case resembles past instances where journalists have been caught fabricating stories. Those accused previously have included Stephen Glass, who was fired from the New Republic magazine, Jayson Blair, fired from the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , and Janet Cooke, a Washington Post news hound whose story about a child addicted to heroin won a Pulitzer Prize before it was revealed to be a fabrication.

[France24] The videos show a chaotic scene. People are throwing rocks at vehicles as shots ring out. This footage was captured in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir on December 15. On that day, security forces opened fire on civilians, killing seven people. The protesters had taken to the streets to show their support for separatist rebels after the rebels faced off with security forces in a gun battle.
On December 15, a gun battle broke out between security forces and separatist rebels in Kharpora Sirnoo, a village in the Pulwama district. Four people were killed in these clashes.
Hundreds of civilians then poured into the street to protest in support of the separatist rebels. Some of them started throwing stones at the security forces, who then opened fire on them.
In the video below, you can see several different tan and white vehicles, lined up one after another. In the distance, several people dressed in civilian clothing are throwing things at the vehicles. People are running as shots ring out.

[Hot Air] Darn those Russians and their meddling in American politics! No... I’m not talking about the 2016 elections, at least not quite as directly. There have been recent allegations that Russia has been "meddling" in another area entirely which hasn’t received nearly as much media attention for some reason. A couple of House committees have been looking into claims that the Russians have been funding environmentalists who push anti-fracking, "keep it in the ground" campaigns aimed at shutting down fossil fuel development in the United States. And thus far they haven’t received much cooperation. (Free Beacon)
[GatewayPundit] Reporter used to report the news. Reporters used to stand up for free speech. All that is gone in the Progressive Era of news as the likes of CNN’s Oliver Darcy use their reporting to censor the news and free speech by campaigning to get their competitors and ideological opponents deplatformed or driven off the air by advertiser boycotts.
Now comes the Washington Post’s tech policy reporter Tony Romm who attempted to get the wildly popular border wall fundraiser taken down by GoFundMe.
The fundraiser by triple-amputee Iraq war veteran Brian Kolfage has raised an astonishing $6.5 million (and climbing) in just a few days since it was started December 16. (Link to GoFundMe page.)
Romm tweeted Thursday about his attempt, writing, "So there’s an effort on GoFundMe to raise cash money for a border wall. Has more than $5M in donations (seeking $1B) and claims to have contacts in the Trump admin (have asked for more). But it got me thinking: is that, like, allowed on the site? (1/3)"
"GoFundMe terms prohibit attempts to raise cash money rooted in "intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, or serious disabilities or diseases," among other limits (2/3)"
"So I asked GoFundMe if this wall fundraiser violates that. Spox: "This campaign does not violate our terms of service. The funds are safely held by our payment processor and we will work with the organizer to transfer funds" or return them if target isn’t met (3/3)"
Romm then asked if it were even legal for the wall fundraisers to talk to the Trump administration, "this was my next question ‐ how does that work, and what about the contention in the pitch itself that there are convos with Trump admin officials? are they allowed to have those convos?"
It was announced Thursday by MSNBC that Romm was hired as a contributor.
Note: This writer commented to Romm on Twitter, "Always interesting to see reporters acting like the Red Guard of the Cultural Revolution."

Late yesterday, the fund was up to $10 mil. Brian Kolfage is a triple-amputee from the wars.
I've heard arguments both ways about this kind of funding. One argument is that the military by the Constitution is already funded and charged with protecting the country and its borders. On the other hand, Brian might be onto something as this fund might shame the Dem leaders out of their hypocrisy about the border.
