In February, while at a rest stop in Fairfield, Connecticut, Valeria Karat left her car to pump gas, News12 reported. Security footage showed that while she was servicing her car, another car pulled up beside her, and a passenger from the car jumped into hers and took off. Karat’s Maltese puppy who was not even a year old, Cindy, was in the car. Trooper Donna Sabourin of the Connecticut State Police, told Newsweek that around 2 or 3 days after the car was stolen, it was located but Cindy was not inside....

On Wednesday, the Dogecoin price was reported to have stabilized at around $0.033, according to Coindesk, which also looks at cryptocurrency prices.

Last month, the FBI raided Trump’s beach club and home Mar-a-Lago in Florida, seizing thousands of files, 103 of which were marked as classified, including 54 labeled secret and 18 labeled top secret. Trump has denied mishandling the sensitive materials and said that he may have declassified the files when he was president, saying that the FBI is on a “witchhunt”. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday granted the DOJ’s request to stop an order handed down by a district judge that had prevented authorities from examining the classified documents and that ordered them to be handed to a third-party examiner....

Following Tuesday’s video release from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the DOJ announced that it would open a new probe to investigate whether Huxley committed a federal crime. “The United States Attorney’s Office is aware of the incident involving an IMPD officer and Jermaine Vaughn. Our office and the FBI have opened an investigation, and if the investigation reveals prosecutable violations of any federal criminal statutes, the Department will take appropriate action,” Acting U....

The retail chain, once committed to that single price, has not been untouched by soaring prices, spurred by the coronavirus pandemic, in just about every industry, from cars to clothing. Dollar Tree, based in Chesapeake, Virginia, said last month that rising shipping costs would result in a $1.50 to $1.60 loss in its per-share profits in 2021, the AP reported. Any company would be hit hard by that development, particularly a retailer that has done business for decades on an “everything for $1” promise....

The “GROW U” program, which is set to begin on February 24, will cover the full cost of tuition, fees and books for employees that choose to further their education.

However, Martin was not declared out for the Dolphins’ Thursday night home game against Cincinnati until about seven hours before kickoff. The team made the announcement Thursday afternoon that Martin’s status for the game had been downgraded from “doubtful” to “out.” TUCKER: Martin’s “breakdown” not surprising | Week 9 picks The injury-list designation — in which Martin, who reportedly reacted badly to a lunchroom prank by his teammates, was called “doubtful” with an “illness” — was in accordance with NFL policy, the Miami Herald reported....

Shortly after the St. Louis Rams selected Sam in the seventh round Saturday, Jones tweeted, "Horrible." The tweet was taken down a short time later. Sam is the first openly gay player to be selected in the NFL draft.

“It’s imminent,” Dominion founder and CEO John Poulos told the Axios Re:Cap podcast Monday. “She is, by far in our opinion, the most egregious and prolific purveyor of the falsities against Dominion. Her statements have caused real damage, and they’re demonstrably false.” Powell, who is closely aligned with President Donald Trump but doesn’t hold a formal position on his legal team that is challenging the election outcome, didn’t immediately respond to Newsweek’s request for comment about the remarks....

Even as the NBA is predominantly black, there has always been at least one white All-Star. European influence in recent years has helped, be it Gasol, his brother Marc or Dirk Nowitzki. Like Pau Gasol this year, these players deserved to be in the game. But they also make for a dramatic contrast from the NBA’s very first All-Star showcase, held in Bostin in March 1951.

In a Sun-Sentinel profile to commemorate his birthday, Shula was asked to share his thoughts on the success of active coaching wins leader Bill Belichick. MORE: Ex-Ravens linebacker reveals Brady-breaking formula | Picks | Weather “Beli-cheat?” Shula responded. The endearing nickname, conjured up by rival fans and players, is in reference to the Spygate scandal of 2007, in which Belichick and other Patriots coaches used video cameras to tape the signals of their opponents....

Why? For one thing, truth is hard to come by. Defendants often don’t trust their lawyers so they lie or they withhold details that are legally important or, scared to death, they forget things. Even worse, some defendants tell the unvarnished truth and that limits the lawyer’s hand. Consider this worst-case scenario – without prejudging the Simpson case. If a defense lawyer knows his client’s whole spiel, he may not be able to put the client on the witness stand....

However, the very existence of his transfer from Bayern Munich was sign enough of the cracks appearing in Schweinsteiger’s spell at the top of the game, and within a year he was to be training with United’s youth team. On Tuesday, it was announced that he had signed a one-year deal with MLS side Chicago Fire, after United agreed to release him from the final 15 months of his contract....

It was the good news story onto which Milanisti could cling at their lowest moments as their team scuffled around for positive results of any sort. All Milan fans could relate to ‘Gigio’. He, like them, was a Rossonero, and his successes were reflective of a dream he shared with every supporter of a red and black faith. Donnarumma won’t renew contract But that now lies in ruins after it was announced by the club that Donnarumma’s agent, Mino Raiola, had informed them it was his client’s decision to “definitively” reject a new contract, leaving Milan facing the probability of losing the jewel in their crown for peanuts when his current deal expires in 12 months’ time....

Community colleges have long suffered from an image problem. As two-year institutions (mostly public) with open admissions, they were seen as a last resort for the academically hopeless. But that’s changing, as people become aware of the schools’ affordability and small class sizes. Since 1999, the nation’s 1,173 community colleges have had a 20 percent jump in enrollment–from 5.4 million to 6.5 million students. According to the American Association of Community Colleges, 45 percent of first-time freshmen enroll in community colleges rather than four-year schools....

The United States, under both President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, has officially declared that the Chinese regime is perpetrating genocide against Uyghur Muslims and other minorities in the Xinjiang region. And that comes on top of other abuses against Tibetans and Hong Kong dissidents—and even ordinary Chinese citizens who won’t toe the Communist Party line. Perhaps inevitably, these Olympics have become embroiled in national political dramas. Several countries, including the United States, announced a formal “diplomatic boycott,” declining to send any officials....

A year on, Altidore celebrated the new year sitting on just one Premier League goal through his first half-season at Sunderland, mired in a difficult campaign. The Black Cats sit in last place, have already fired a manager, and are struggling to produce goals or results. All the while, Altidore has been starved for service, while also showing inconsistent form as he battles for minutes. In short, Altidore’s move to Sunderland has been a nightmare to watch at times, and some are already writing it off as a failure....

Man Utd to face Anderlecht in Europa League The Manchester United’s man future is currently the topic of much speculation with his current deal set to expire in the summer and seemingly no extension having been agreed. Ibrahimovic suggested earlier this week he could be tempted by a move to Maurizio Sarri’s side but Raiola has insisted that is out of the question. “Ibra to Napoli? Forget it,” the veteran’s agent told Radio Kiss Kiss ....
