Lucasfilm released new full-body photos of Ray Park as Darth Maul from Solo: A Star Wars Story. These images show more of the character and his costume than fans got to see in the film, including his robotic legs.

Although Darth Maul was sliced in half at the end of The Phantom Menace, it seemed that he survived what most fans thought was a fatal encounter. In both the Clone Wars and Rebels animated series, he reappeared as Maul (having lost the Darth title), his legs replaced with robotics. Fans not familiar with the animated series, though, got a surprise at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story, when Maul appeared to Qi'ra, although the novelization of the movie reveals that she did not really know who he was other than the leader of Crimson Dawn.

Although Sam Witwer voiced the character in Solo, Park physically portrayed him, but fans only got to see Maul from the waist up as a hologram. Fortunately, in honor of the release of the Solo: A Star Wars Story on Movies Anywhere and Blu-Ray, Lucasfilm, via Forbes, released full-length photos of Park as the character in full costume with robotic legs.
 

Although Maul's appearance in Solo was a shock to many fans, Park teased his reappearance of the character on social media. Most assumed that he was referencing the rumored Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, though. No one expected Maul to appear in Solo. However, fans couldn't stop talking about him after the movie's release, making that scene one of the most memorable moments in the film.

It's just too bad that Solo didn't do as well at the box office as expected. Not only did Solo suffer through problems with its production, but Disney released it at a time of year that didn't coincide with its usual Star Wars releases. Some fans also believe the company didn't market the movie very well, although had Disney used the trailer for the home video release for the film's initial release, it might have done better.

As it stands, Disney has no plans for a sequel, meaning that if fans want more of Maul, they will have to hope he turns up elsewhere. That's a shame, too, because fans may never know what his connection to Qi'ra was really about or what he had planned before the events of A New Hope.

Solo: A Star Wars Story lands on Movies Anywhere on September 14 and Blu-Ray on September 25.

Star Wars 9 / Star Wars: Episode IX (2019) release date: Dec 20, 2019

Paramount's upcoming film version of the classic Nickelodeon series Are You Afraid of the Dark? won't adapt any of the TV episodes, says its writer. From the early days of TV all the way through the 90s, the genre anthology was a common feature of the programming landscape. While anthologies still technically exist today, most take the form of each season telling a single long-form story, instead of the old Twilight Zone style of telling a different story with different characters each week.

For kids growing up in the 90s with a taste for horror, two great shows existed to fill the weekly anthology void. On broadcast TV, FOX played host to Goosebumps, which adapted the popular book series by author R.L. Stine. On basic cable, Nickelodeon enchanted young audiences with Are You Afraid of the Dark?, which told original tales of terror. The format was simple, a group of friends called The Midnight Society gathered around a campfire each episode to tell a new story, with one member speaking while the others listened. Once the story began, viewers would see it in full, with a Midnight Society outro bringing things to a close.

Which of those series was better is up for debate, but either way, Are You Afraid of the Dark? will soon follow Goosebumps into the realm of feature films. The project was announced last fall, with Paramount hiring Gary Dauberman to write the script. Dauberman has become a go-to Hollywood horror writer, penning last year's wildly successful IT remake, and several entries in The Conjuring universe, including newly released spinoff The Nun. Unfortunately, fans looking to see their favorite Are You Afraid of the Dark? villains make the jump to the big screen will be disappointed. During a recent interview with Slash Film, Dauberman revealed that the movie won't adapt any TV episodes, and will instead tell a completely original story.


While Dauberman does confirm that The Midnight Society framing device and the campfire setting will remain intact, the fact that the Are You Afraid of the Dark? movie won't adapt any of of its most celebrated episodes is sure to be a let down to many who grew up loving the series. While targeted at kids, the Nickelodeon show featured lots of memorably creepy villains, including Zeebo the Clown, The Ghastly Grinner, the horrifying vampire found in "The Tale of the Night Shift," and the unsettling human-sized doll morphed into by the IT-esque shape-shifting antagonist of "The Tale of the Dark Music."

On the plus side, Dauberman stresses in the same interview that he tried not to "age [the story] down too much," and tried to honor the legacy of the original series by not going light on the scares. As Dauberman points out, Are You Afraid of the Dark? often told tales that didn't end with the characters living happily ever after. Sometimes the monsters won, and sometimes the protagonist ended up suffering a truly cruel fate. A good example of the latter is "The Tale of the Pinball Wizard," which ends with the suggestion that the lead is doomed to re-play the game forever, or "The Tale of the Super Specs," which ends with the main characters trapped for eternity in a parallel dimension. Hopefully, Dauberman's story measures up to those efforts, and brings enough scares to delight all ages.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2019) release date: Oct 11, 2019

the opportunity presents itself for her to return, Anna Paquin says she would be willing to play Rogue in the X-Men film franchise once again. The X-Men film series is still going strong with the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants films set to be released in February and August of 2019, respectively.

While Paquin was a part of the original ensemble cast in 2000's X-Men as well as the two sequels that followed it, she has not had a major part in the films since. This is in part due to the fact that after 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, the series took a turn for a bit of a reboot in 2011's X-Men: First Class, which also served as the beginning of a series of prequels for the franchise. With the films centered on stories that would take place before Paquin's character was even born, the actress had no reason to be involved with the films until 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past. However, even in that film, which connected the original trilogy to the prequel timeline, Paquin's storyline as Rogue was limited in the theatrical cut to simply a cameo appearance. Scenes from a "Rogue Cut" of the film have since been released, showing that she originally had a more extensive storyline in the film.

Speaking with Variety, Paquin recently expressed her willingness to return to the role should the right opportunity arise. When asked if she would ever do another X-Men film, Paquin replied, "If there was a way that it made sense for my character to be in the world, of course." She went on to explain how such a return would be complicated, saying:

"I feel like [X-Men is] my film family, because I’ve been making those movies since I was 16. But there’s been so many spinoffs and reboots and TV shows, so I’m not sure where Rogue or the other original characters fit into the current plotlines, so it’s probably not going to happen."
 

Paquin certainly has a point. The X-Men films have diverged into many different plot lines over the years, at times focusing on the overarching ensemble films as well as more individualized stories such as Logan or Deadpool. While this has allowed for the X-Men film universe to greatly expand beyond what many likely anticipated in 2000, it has also made it less likely for actors and actresses from the original films to star in more films beyond this point.

Yet, nothing is set in stone for X-Men, and Paquin's willingness to return is an exciting factor for fans who were eager to see the "Rogue Cut" of Days of Future Past. Plus, with the release of Deadpool 2, the franchise has essentially admitted that its own timeline does not make sense. With that in mind, the door could be open for any number of possibilities to bring Rogue - and plenty of other characters - back for another story. However, that would be complicated considering the impending Disney-Fox merger, especially since it's unclear how Marvel Studios will incorporate X-Men characters with the MCU. At least for now, it is good to hear that Paquin views the franchise fondly and would be game for bringing Rogue back if the right story comes along.

Release Dates:
 

• X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019) release date: Feb 14, 2019
• New Mutants (2019) release date: Aug 02, 2019

Comes with several free games, too.
 

If you're looking to maximize the money you spend on PC upgrades, one strategy is to stay a generation behind, assuming you don't need the latest and greatest. Driving this point home is an iBuyPower gaming PC that's on sale at Amazon right now.

The iBuyPower Elite Gaming PC is marked down to $799 from its $1,249.99 list price. What you get in this setup is a AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor paired with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a Radeon RX 580 graphics card.

That's a suitable foundation for playing games at 1080p or even 1440p in some cases. On the storage front, this rig comes with a 120GB solid state drive for primary storage duties, and a 1TB hard drive for backups. You'd be better off upgrading the SSD to something bigger, especially with all the SSD deals we've been seeing lately, but this will at least get you started.

The system comes with a basic keyboard and mouse. Also be sure to scroll down the listing and add the free AMD graphics games bundle, which gets you download codes for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Strange Brigade, and Star Control: Origins.

Now that the new generation of Nvidia cards are almost here, prices for 10-series GPUs continue to drop. GTX 1080 Ti cards have largely stayed around $650, but now you can buy an MSI triple-fan model for $599.99 after a $20 mail-in rebate.

This card uses MSI's 'ZeroFrozr' technology to stop the fans when temperatures drop below 60°C, and there's a custom heatsink with 8mm "super pipes." The core clock is 1531 MHz, but it can boost to 1645 MHz. For input, you get one dual-link DVI-D, two HDMI, and two DisplayPort.

You can buy the MSI GTX 1080 Ti from Newegg.

However, according to ESPN, by pleading guilty Loaiza expects a lesser sentence. The minimum sentence for the charge is 10 years. He also faces deportation to his native Mexico after completion of his sentence.
Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 2.
Police arrested Loaiza in February and charged him with possessing more than 20 kilos of heroin and/or cocaine for purchase/sale and for transporting for sale narcotics and/or a controlled substance. Police alleged he was using "sophisticated" smuggling devices to smuggle 22 kilograms of cocaine from a house located near a school. 
The 46-year-old Loaiza pitched for eight teams in a 14-year MLB career, posting a 126-114 mark and 4.65 ERA. A two-time All-Star, his best season came in 2003 with the White Sox when he posted a 21-9 mark with a 2.90 ERA. He finished second in the AL Cy Young voting that year.
The right hander also pitched for the Pirates, Rangers, Blue Jays, A's, Dodgers, Nationals and Yankees.

Tiger Woods' quest to win a major in 2018 is not over, but he'll need a big final 36 holes to get No. 15.
Woods completed a long second round of the PGA Championship Saturday morning, firing a 4-under 66 to keep himself in the hunt at Bellerive.
That's a strong score, but it was also in easy conditions in a Round 2 that saw multiple 63s. Woods' 4-under total has him six off Gary Woodland's lead entering the final two rounds.
Still, it's a far cry from where he could've been. After all, Woods began this tournament bogey-double bogey. He fought back from that and then was rolling early in his second round Friday when dangerous weather halted play for the day and forced him to complete the majority of his second round Saturday morning.
Even with those hurdles, Woods has a chance halfway through - with the help of a nice second round.
He came out firing Friday afternoon, rolling in a 14-footer for birdie at the par-4 second to move into red figures for the first time all tournament.
He quickly pounced on that. A pitching wedge at the simple par-3 third spun 5 feet under the cup, and he rolled that in for back-to-back birdies. Woods came inches from chipping in for birdie at the next but got that third birdie anyway when he rolled in a 10-footer at the par-4 fifth.
Woods was 3 under, off and rolling, and in line for potentially a really low round.
The signs continued at the par-3 sixth when Woods hit into a greenside bunker, blasted out 15 feet short but then curled in the putt for a huge par.
It was just the par that Woods has long craved as a momentum-saver in keeping together strong rounds.
He followed by hitting the hole with his birdie chip at the par-4 seventh (settling for par) and leaving himself a short wedge third at the par-5 eighth. But that's when the horn sounded, suspending play.
While that horn came in the middle of the afternoon, it would turn out Woods would have to wait until Saturday morning to hit that wedge - as play would eventually be suspended for the day.
Woods was not put off by the long wait.
He arrived back Saturday morning, spun that wedge to 6 feet and drained the putt to move to 4 under right away early in the day. Woods was in the top 20 and at that point 7 under in his 24 holes since an abysmal 3-over start.
The remainder of Saturday morning, though, turned out to be a slog.
A hot putter Friday seemed to cool off in the morning, first showing so when Woods missed the hole completely on a 5-foot par effort at the par-4 10th.
He rebounded from that bogey by spinning an 89-yard wedge to 2 feet at the par-4 11th and making birdie. But he left himself over 100 feet for birdie at the par-4 12th, and a nice lag to 5 feet did not do the trick.
Woods once again missed the hole on the shortie, meaning another bogey and moving back to 3 under again.
His next four holes were simply grinds for pars, as he hit all the greens but left himself no really good birdie looks. He did make four pars to hang on.
Woods then took advantage of the par-5 17th, roping a fairway wood onto the green in two and leaving himself some 30 feet for eagle. He lagged beautifully and had a kick-in birdie to return to 4 under.
An errant tee shot at 18 put him in trouble, but he got his approach onto the green and then two-putted from almost 90 feet (sinking a 5-foot comebacker) for a closing par.
After fighting his swing Thursday, Woods looked so much more comfortable the following day. He looked downright pristine on approaches and his putter continued to be hot in staking him to an early birdie run.
When play resumed Saturday, his ball-striking was still solid but not as crisp and his putter cooled off a good deal.
All along, Woods has failed to fix his driver woes but he did seem to start to find something late in Round 2 Saturday morning with a lower cut with the big stick off the tee.
That could be huge over the final 36 holes if he can employ it.
We'll see. Woods is still in this, but he needs to make something happen Saturday afternoon.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — President Donald Trump is thanking Kanye West after the rapper talked about his support for Trump during an appearance Thursday on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
"Thank you to Kanye West and the fact that he is willing to tell the TRUTH," Trump said in a tweet from his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf course Friday evening. "It is making a big difference."
But the appearance wasn't all positive.
West was notably silent on the show when he was asked why he thinks the president cares about black people.

West was discussing his support for Trump and questioning why people go after the president instead of trying "love" when Kimmel pointed to the policy that separated families caught crossing the border illegally.
"You've so famously and so powerfully said 'George Bush doesn't care about black people,' it makes me wonder what makes you think that Donald Trump does, or any people at all?" Kimmel asked.
West considered the question, sitting silently without answering before Kimmel took a commercial break.
Kimmel had earlier asked West if he was worried about his wife, Kim Kardashian West, being alone with the president in the Oval Office during a recent visit.
The rapper replied that Trump "is a player," drawing laughs.

Maryland has placed members of football coach DJ Durkin's support staff on paid administrative leave based on the initial findings of the external review examining the circumstances leading to the death of redshirt freshman Jordan McNair, the university announced Friday.

A school spokeswoman declined to name the individuals who were placed on leave, pending the outcome of the review being conducted by Walters Inc., a South Carolina-based sports medicine consulting firm. That review is expected to be finished no later than Sept. 15.

McNair died June 13, 15 days after having difficulty recovering from the conditioning test players need to complete in order to participate in preseason workouts.

McNair's family announced on a website to announce the establishment of a foundation in his honor that the 19-year-old lineman died from heatstroke.

The school issued a statement Friday on the decision to put staffers on leave: "Following the death of Maryland football player Jordan McNair in June, the University of Maryland commissioned an external review of the procedures and protocols surrounding athletes' health and safety. Pending the final outcome of this review, the university has placed members of the athletics staff on administrative leave. We will be able to speak in greater detail when the review is complete and shared with the public. Our thoughts remain with Jordan McNair's family, friends and teammates."

A source confirmed that Durkin, who is going into his third season with the program, will remain Terps coach. On Friday, in his first interview since the start of fall practice, Durkin told Big Ten Network that McNair's death was a "tremendous loss."

"Every guy is at a different stage of a grieving process, and we are as a team," he said. "So the one thing we've done here through camp, and we said this and we've done it, we're going to talk about it. It's OK to talk about it. We're not going to just ignore it and pretend we're going to move on. We're going to talk about it. So we have guys get up and talk to the team at night, and that's been brought up quite a bit.

"There's not a day that goes by that anyone doesn't think about it, talk about it. So, all in all, I think our guys have done a good job. They've handled things. We've had some really good practices, but it's certainly present."

In releasing some details about the incident, the university confirmed Durkin was on the field when the conditioning test consisting of 10 110-yard dashes was being administered.

An unidentified caller described McNair's breathing problems to a Prince George's County emergency dispatcher just before 6 p.m. according to an audio copy of two calls and an incident report released by the county's Office of Homeland Security after a public-records request.

According to the 911 tape obtained by The Baltimore Sun, McNair appeared to have suffered a seizure and was "unable to control" his breath after the football practice that led to his hospitalization. In a second call, a first responder reported to dispatchers that McNair had a seizure.

McNair arrived at Washington Adventist Hospital, in nearby Takoma Park, at 6:36 p.m., according to the county's report, before being transported to the Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he remained until his death.

Omarosa Manigault Newman was offered a $15,000-a-month contract from President Trump’s campaign to stay silent after being fired from her job as a White House aide by Chief of Staff John F. Kelly last December, according to a forthcoming book by Manigault Newman and a document viewed by The Washington Post.

But she refused, according to the incendiary new book, “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House,” which also depicts Trump as unqualified, narcissistic and racist. Excerpts of the book were obtained by The Post.

After she was fired, Manigault Newman wrote, she received a call from Trump campaign adviser Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, offering her a job and the monthly contract in exchange for her silence.

A nondisclosure agreement attached to the offer, which was reviewed by The Post, said Manigault Newman could not make any comments about President Trump, Vice President Pence or their families or any comments that could damage the president. It said she would do “diversity outreach,” among other things, for the campaign. “The NDA attached to the email was as harsh and restrictive as any I’d seen in all my years of television,” Manigault Newman writes in the book.

Throughout his career as a businessman and politician, Trump has repeatedly used nondisclosure agreements to quiet critics and accusers, including adult-film star Stormy Daniels.

The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the book “is riddled with lies and false accusations.” She added, “It’s sad that a disgruntled former White House employee is trying to profit off these false attacks, and even worse that the media would now give her a platform, after not taking her seriously when she had only positive things to say about the President during her time in the administration.”

Manigault Newman does not offer evidence for some of her most explosive charges but extensively recorded her conversations in the White House. The Post has listened to several of the recordings made by Manigault Newman, which match quotations recounted in the book excerpts. The existence of some recordings was first reported Wednesday by the Daily Beast.

White House aides have long described Manigault Newman as a problematic employee who tried to stage a wedding photo shoot at the White House, exploded at other West Wing aides and left shoes strewn around the West Wing. For months, they accurately feared that she was taping conversations inside the building. In the eyes of many around Trump, the book is another publicity-grabbing stunt from someone known for them.

Representative Chris Collins, Republican of New York, reversed course on Saturday morning and announced he was suspending his campaign for re-election, days after federal prosecutors charged him with insider trading.

Mr. Collins, who was the first member of Congress to endorse Donald J. Trump for president in 2016, had initially vowed to stay on the ballot this fall but said Saturday that he had decided it was “in the best interests” of his district, “the Republican Party and President Trump’s agenda” to suspend his race.

Federal prosecutors have charged Mr. Collins with using his seat on the board of a small Australia-based drug company, Innate Immunotherapeutics, to tip off his son and others that the company had failed a critical scientific trial before that information was made public.

His son and others allegedly dumped shares in a frantic rush and averted hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.

“I look forward to having my good name cleared of any wrongdoing,” Mr. Collins said, adding that he would stay in Congress through the rest of his term.

His western New York district, which covers the areas between Buffalo and Rochester, is one of the state’s most conservative, and one in which Mr. Trump had his strongest showing in New York, with nearly 60 percent of the vote in 2016.

Mr. Collins’s indictment immediately thrust his seat onto the national battleground map. But how the suspension of his campaign would play out was not immediately clear. The process to get off the ballot can be onerous in New York, and Mr. Collins did not say how he would remove himself.

One Republican official familiar with the discussions said the party would probably try to nominate Mr. Collins for a county clerkship somewhere else in New York, in an effort to meet the legal requirements to remove him from the congressional ballot.

But further complicating matters are New York’s byzantine election laws: Mr. Collins is slated to be on the ballot not just on the Republican line but as an Independence Party candidate. That party, too, would have to agree and find a way to remove him.

The U.S. Supreme Court may soon have the opportunity to shake up the consumption of news. At stake could very well be the online dissemination of broadcast news clips as well as a deeper understanding of how politics and news intersect. That's because on Wednesday, the media monitoring service TVEyes indicated in an application to the high court that it would indeed be petitioning for review of a recent appellate loss to Fox News.
Five years ago, Fox News sued TVEyes, accusing the service of making "verbatim reproduction" of the cable news network's programming.
TVEyes is no ordinary service.
With the capability of storing massive amounts of programming that allow researchers to locate what's being said about a given topic, individual or corporation on some 1,400 television and radio stations, TVEyes has been used by customers including the United States Department of Defense, the United Nations, The New York Times, professional sports leagues and even the White House. At a time when President Donald Trump is said to be wildly influenced by what he sees on the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends, the ability to search relevant clips and disseminate them for critical commentary is arguably a paramount societal need.

Fox News sees it very differently. The Rupert Murdoch-owned cable broadcaster believes that what TVEyes does is a flagrant copyright violation that undercuts its own ability to license clips. Although Fox News has told courts that it won't stand in the way of a service that makes use of closed captioning transcriptions, it is drawing the line at a company like TVEyes that provides video and audio to customers — almost in real-time — and then allows clips to be shared through email and social media.
In February, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that TVEyes had gone too far. Writing for the majority, Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs rejected TVEyes' fair use defense and told the trial court to revise an injunction.
"TVEyes’s re‐distribution of Fox’s audiovisual content serves a transformative purpose in that it enables TVEyes’s clients to isolate from the vast corpus of Fox’s content the material that is responsive to their interests, and to access that material in a convenient manner," he wrote. "But because that re‐distribution makes available virtually all of Fox’s copyrighted audiovisual content — including all of the Fox content that TVEyes’s clients wish to see and hear — and because it deprives Fox of revenue that properly belongs to the copyright holder, TVEyes has failed to show that the product it offers to its clients can be justified as a fair use."
With some doubt about whether TVEyes would seek further review at the Supreme Court or shutter its service, TVEyes has finally, seven months later, chosen to take its best shot at salvation. 
"This case presents an exceptionally important question regarding the proper construction of the Copyright Act’s fair use defense, and in particular, the fourth fair use factor—'the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work,'" writes Quinn Emanuel attorney Todd Anten in an application for more time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari.
In bringing this case to the Supreme Court, TVEyes is going somewhere that Google didn't when fighting with authors and publishers over the scanning of millions of library books. In fact, TVEyes points out that the Supreme Court hasn't addressed copyright fair use in over 20 years since the blockbuster decision in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, the one concerning 2 Live Crew's take on Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" that articulated transformative uses of copyrighted material.
TVEyes' attorney tells the Supreme Court that the 2nd Circuit decision conflicts with precedent and "creates a circuit split over a question of exceptional importance, including the proper balance under copyright law between the interests of a copyright holder and the First Amendment right to criticize and comment upon the copyright holder."
Anten says he would like until September 12 to file his full petition.
Once at the Supreme Court, the petition is likely to draw plenty of third-party briefs arguing both for and against a review. Among those who participated as amicus curiae before the 2nd Circuit: Google, Microsoft, the American Library Foundation, Public Knowledge, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the National Association of Broadcasters, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the National Press Photographers Association, Hearst Television and ITV.
Even CNN participated. Although some of its reporters use TVEyes to find relevant Fox News clips to showcase on its own news shows, CNN decided to stand by its rival with the future of news at stake.
"It is no secret that the media industry has come under enormous financial pressure in the digital age," stated CNN's amicus brief. "Producing high-quality reporting and programming is an expensive endeavor, and creators are dependent upon ever-diminishing ad and licensing revenues in order to fund their continued ability to cover matters of public interest. As people consume more and more news and entertainment via mobile devices and the Internet, the market for streaming audio and video has become a key source of revenue. Indeed, today’s consumers are increasingly drawn to shorter, topical video clips on their computers and mobile devices rather than full-length programming. TVEyes unlawfully misappropriates that market for itself."

Former NASCAR Cup series driver Greg Biffle is defending himself in court this week over claims by his ex-wife that he secretly videotaped her and her mother in their bedrooms at the couple's $2.7 million mansion on Lake Norman in Mooresville, N.C.

Nicole Biffle and her mother say in their lawsuit that Greg Biffle "has shown images captured by the hidden cameras to third persons."
In court Tuesday, Biffle "denied doing anything inappropriate" and testified that his wife knew about the cameras, WSOC-TV reported.
Since they initiated legal action against Greg Biffle, Nicole Biffle and her mother say in their lawsuit that Greg Biffle "has repeatedly asserted under oath that the Hidden Cameras were installed for 'security purposes' because he believed his maids were stealing from him."
Nicole Biffle says in the lawsuit that she "has suffered loss of appetite, loss of sleep, pain in her abdomen, emotional distress, worry, humiliation, fear ... and other anxiety-related conditions" as a result of the alleged secret filming.
Her mother suffered similar health problems, according to the lawsuit, "and was prescribed a drug for anxiety and tension in January 2016 as a result of the stress from being filmed."
The lawsuit, filed in Mecklenburg County Civil Superior Court in June 2017, seeks at least $100,000 in damages.
The Biffles legally separated in March 2015, and Greg Biffle moved from their mansion in Mooresville to an apartment, Nicole Biffle's lawsuit says. They married in 2007.
Biffle still owns the Lake Norman home, which sits on 10 acres, Iredell County property records show.
Biffle left NASCAR's top Cup series before the start of the 2017 season and became a guest analyst on NBC Sports' "NASCAR America."
In 2013, the lawsuit says, Greg Biffle asked a racing industry friend to install "hidden cameras" in the master bedroom, master bathroom and the guest bedroom where her mother slept. Her husband never told her he wanted the cameras installed, Nicole Biffle says in the lawsuit.
The cameras connected to a digital video recording system that was in Greg Biffle's gun safe, the lawsuit says.
Biffle and his friend "connected this system through an application on their mobile telephones, which allowed each of them to access the live feed from said cameras 24/7," according to the lawsuit.

As fire crews struggled to gain containment on more than a dozen wildfires raging across California Wednesday, Gov. Jerry Brown told reporters that large, destructive fires would probably continue and cost the state billions of dollars over the next decade.

“The more serious predictions of warming and fires to occur later in the century, 2040 or 2050, they’re now occurring in real time,” Brown said at a news conference at the state’s emergency operations center outside Sacramento.

State officials said more than 13,000 firefighters are currently on duty, fighting 16 large fires that have burned a total of 320,000 acres and displaced more than 32,000 residents. Seventeen states have offered assistance to California during the last week, sending help from as far away as Maine and Florida. Though the state has the resources now to combat the large wildfires, fighting them and keeping people safe will become harder, Brown said.

“Things will get much tighter in the next five years as the business cycle turns negative and the fires continue,” Brown said.

New wildfires broke out Wednesday, including two threatening homes in El Dorado County, further straining the efforts of overloaded firefighters who are trying to keep up.

The Omega and Bumper fires sparked evacuations, with residents being directed to a shelter at the Diamond Springs Firefighters Memorial Hall at 3734 China Garden Road. The blazes had burned more than 40 acres west of Pilot Hill and east of Frenchtown, respectively, and officials were hitting flames with water-dropping aircraft.

Brown, who met with top fire and emergency response officials, said the state would spend whatever is needed to combat the blazes. But he said that current conditions are part of a long cycle that began with the rapid rise in greenhouse gases caused by human activity.
“People are doing everything they can, but nature is very powerful and we’re not on the side of nature,” he said. “We’re fighting nature with the amount of material we’re putting in the environment, and that material traps heat. And the heat fosters fires.”
The Eel fire, which broke out Tuesday afternoon in northern Mendocino County, was uncontained after burning 865 acres as of Wednesday morning, according to Cal Fire.
Tell us what you took with you » The fire is traveling through quick-burning grass and oak in a rural area of rolling hills that can become steep and difficult to access, Cal Fire deputy chief Scott McLean said.
“It’s going to keep growing, hopefully not very much more, but we’ll find out,” McLean said Wednesday morning.
Another blaze that ignited Tuesday in Mono County north of Mammoth Lake, called the Owens fire, was 312 acres and also uncontained as of Wednesday morning, according to authorities.
The largest and deadliest of the wildfires currently burning in California is the Carr fire, which as of Wednesday morning had burned 115,538 acres and was 35% contained.
Fire crews have been battling the blaze in triple digit heat. On Wednesday however, forecasters said temperatures will return to normal, or close to it, by this weekend. Temperatures will reach the high 90s and humidity will hover around 20%, said Roy Skinner, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

“Any break in the weather is appreciated — we’re at 35% containment,” he said. “However, we don’t want people to be complacent, or on edge. But the fact is, this fire was started by just one little spark off a vehicle.”
Still, as a low-pressure system approaches from the west, the area could see shifting winds and gusts of up 30 miles per hour, said National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Dang.
“This fire has a very unique personality,” said Jason Shanley, a spokesman for the Carr fire. It’s been active at night, while a stubborn inversion layer has kept smoke low to the ground and hindered air support during the day. Conditions also spawned a fire tornado that ripped through parts of Redding. “Every day there’s a new challenge.”
The fire is now mostly burning on its western flank. On the eastern end, more and more of the 38,000 fire evacuees have been allowed to return to their homes — or what is left of them — in and around Redding.
The Carr fire has claimed six lives so far — those of a Redding fire inspector, a private bulldozer contractor and four civilians. It has also destroyed 1,465 structures, becoming the sixth most destructive wildfire in recorded California history.

Containment is also increasing on the two fires in southern Mendocino County: As of Wednesday morning the Ranch fire was 15% contained after burning 59,014 acres, while the River fire had spread across 31,898 acres and was 38% contained.
“Low humidity, heat and wind will continue to challenge firefighters throughout the day” Wednesday, according to a Cal Fire incident report. Firefighters hope to fully contain both blazes by Aug. 7, according to the report. The low-pressure system will have a similar effect on the weather around these fires and on the Carr fire, Dang said.
Fire officials anticipate that the Ferguson fire near Yosemite National Park will intensify and spread farther into the central Sierra Nevada mountain range, a change in behavior caused largely by the shifting weather patterns expected in the next few days. As of Wednesday, the fire had scorched 62,883 acres.
For the past several days, a high-pressure system has remained over the region. This has created an inversion, which acts like the lid on a pot of boiling water, keeping smoke from rising. As that pressure system lifts, and the inversion disappears, officials anticipate the fire will be fed fresh air and intensify.
Now in its 20th day, the Ferguson fire still threatens to ignite a massive number of dead trees that have been killed off by five years of drought and a bark beetle infestation.
“This fire has amazed me in its ability to do things I’ve never seen before,” fire behavior analyst Robert Scott, with California Interagency Incident Management Team 4, told a large group of firefighters gathered for the daily morning briefing Wednesday. “Be extremely careful down there.”

Many would raise an eyebrow at a massive block of rock selling for $1 million. But in San Francisco, that's actually a bargain.
The city's infamously overheated real-estate market is one of the most competitive in the nation as San Franciscans and non-residents alike try to get their hands on a piece of land in the seven-by-seven square mile city. 
One such piece of land, a 7,000-square-foot towering heap of rock, in the city's Telegraph Hill neighborhood is listed for $998,000 - and a sale is now pending on it, according to Redfin.
The property has served as a rock quarry in the past, offering up shards of rock for city establishments like City Hall and the Waterfront, according to the listing's website. The website also states that the space could hold a potential 12 new homes.
As reported by SF Curbed, the rock was originally listed in December of 2016 for $1.43 million, though public records don't convey that.
The asking price fell just below $1 million back in April, and it looks like the drop in price paid off since the property now has an owner.
The rocky zone will undoubtedly necessitate some extensive engineering in order to make the land buildable, which means millions more in dollars. But despite that fact, this listing is a downright deal by San Francisco standards. For the foundation in an exclusive location that would afford sweeping city views, $1 million is a drop in the bucket.

DeAngelo Hall announced the end of his distinguished NFL career Wednesday.

However if the three-time Pro Bowl defensive back had played for an NFC North team, his next stop might've been Canton.

Hall reflected on the best day of his 14-year career, which occurred Oct. 24, 2010. As a member of the Redskins, Hall intercepted Bears quarterback Jay Cutler four times that afternoon. Washington pulled off a 17-14 upset at Soldier Field, and Hall picked up (picked off?) NFC defensive player of the week honors.

"If I could have played against Jay Cutler more, I probably would be in the Hall of Fame by now, but it didn’t quite work out," said Hall, who finished with 43 career INTs, though his final one came in 2013.

"I always take pride in being the youngest guy to 30 interceptions — now someone told me this, so y’all fact check me — youngest guy to 30 interceptions, youngest guy to 40, and I thought I was going to be the youngest to 50."

Cutler called Hall just "another player" prior to their next matchup in 2013. The Bears lost that day, too.

A first-round pick of the Falcons in 2004, Hall's colorful career included a brief stop in Oakland in 2008 before he joined Washington midway through that season.

"I thought I had a chance to come to Washington via trade from Atlanta," Hall, a Virginia native, recalled. "We ended up working out a deal, but Arthur Blank the owner of the Falcons and Mr. (Dan) Snyder couldn’t work out the, I guess, the compensation for that deal.

"So, I had to go to the only place that would take me ... the only other place that we had a deal worked out, which was Oakland. ... I was released from there, and I had the opportunity to come back here to finish those eight games out of that 2008 season.

"To be a kid from Chesapeake, Va., to play at Virginia Tech and grow up a huge Darrell Green fan and Washington Redskin fan, I mean it’s been a dream. You know, it’s been a dream to put on the Burgundy and Gold for the past ten years and try to win football games. You know, that championships eluded me in every facet of my football career, but I still feel blessed, I feel fulfilled."

Ohio State placed Meyer, one of the most successful coaches in college football history, on paid administrative leave Wednesday while it investigates claims that his wife knew about allegations of domestic violence against an assistant coach years before the staff member was fired last week.

Courtney Smith, the ex-wife of fired Buckeyes assitant Zach Smith, gave an interview to Stadium and provided text messages to former ESPN reporter Brett McMurphy between her and Shelley Meyer in 2015 about Zach Smith' behavior. Courtney Smith also provided threatening texts she said came from her ex-husband, and text messages between her and other wives of Buckeyes assistant coaches, discussing Zach Smith.

"Shelley said she was going to have to tell Urban," Courtney Smith told Stadium. "I said: `That's fine, you should tell Urban.'"

Zach Smith, who has never been convicted of any crimes, was fired last week after an Ohio court granted a domestic violence protective order to Courtney Smith. A message left by the AP for Zach Smith's attorney, Brad Koffel, requesting comment was not immediately returned.

Meyer is heading into his seventh season at Ohio State, where he is 73-8 with a national title in 2014 and two Big Ten Conference championships. Shelley Meyer is a registered nurse and is employed as an instructor at Ohio State. Both Meyer and his wife could be in violation of Ohio State's Title IX sexual misconduct policy on reporting allegations of domestic violence against university employees.

Violation of university's policy could result in Meyer being fired with cause by the university, according to provisions placed in his contract when it was extended by two years in April. The new deal runs through 2022 and increases Meyer's salary to $7.6 million in 2018, with annual six percent raises for the bulk of his compensation.

Hours after Courtney Smith's interview was posted online Wednesday, Ohio State announced in a short news release it was conducting an investigation into the allegations and Meyer was being placed on leave.

Offensive coordinator Ryan Day will serve as acting head coach for the Buckeyes, expected to be one of the top teams in the nation again this season. Ohio State's first preseason practice is scheduled for Friday. The season starts Sept. 1 with a game against Oregon State in Columbus, Ohio.

Meyer said in a statement he and athletic director Gene Smith agreed that his being on leave was best for the investigation.

"This allows the team to conduct training camp with minimal distraction. I eagerly look forward to the resolution of this matter." Meyer said.

Zach Smith was charged in May with misdemeanor criminal trespass. At the time of the charge, Koffel said Courtney Smith had accused Zach Smith of driving to her apartment after she told him they would meet elsewhere so he could drop off their son. Zach Smith pleaded not guilty last month. A hearing has been scheduled for Friday.

Zach Smith was also accused of aggravated battery on his then-pregnant wife in 2009 while he was a graduate assistant on Meyer's staff at Florida. The charge was dropped because of insufficient evidence. Meyer brought Smith, the grandson of late Buckeyes coach Earle Bruce, to Ohio State in 2012. Meyer worked for Bruce and considers him a mentor.

Two police reports filed in 2015 in Ohio's Powell County, after the Smiths separated in June of that year, accused Zach Smith of abuse. Charges were never filed.

At Big Ten media days, Meyer said he knew of the incident in 2009 and that he and Shelley Meyer addressed it with the Smiths. He was also asked about the 2015 incident alleged by Courtney Smith.

"I can't say it didn't happen because I wasn't there," he replied. "I was never told about anything and nothing ever came to light. I've never had a conversation about it. I know nothing about it. First I heard about that was last night. No, and I asked some people back at the office to call and say what happened and they came back and said they know nothing about it."

The Smiths divorced in 2016.

Meyer is on the short list of most accomplished coaches in college football history, with three national championships and an .851 winning percentage in 16 seasons at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and now Ohio State, the team he grew up rooting for in Northeast Ohio.

Meyer won national championships with Florida in 2006 and '08, but his teams also had more than two dozen players get into trouble with the law. He resigned twice at Florida, citing health reasons. First in 2009 season after the Gators lost the Southeastern Conference championship game while trying to repeat as national champs. He changed his mind soon after and coached another season. The Gators went 8-5 and this time he stepped down for good.

Meyer was out of coaching for a season, but was hired by Ohio State in November 2011 to replace Jim Tressel, who was fired before that season for lying to the NCAA and university of about rules violation committed by some of his players.

Since returning to coaching, Meyer's program has been one of the most dominant in college football and his players and coaches have mostly stayed out of major trouble.

Meyer did face some criticism in 2013 for allowing running back Carlos Hyde to return to the team after he was charged with striking a woman in a bar. The case was dropped by police when the woman chose not to pursue charges, but Hyde was suspended three games by Meyer.

Growing up in Minneapolis, Alisa Clare Cohen constantly wondered whether her birth parents in Chile really abandoned her. Nearly four decades passed before she learned the truth. 
"The story that I was told was that my (biological) family had essentially never meant to keep me," Cohen said. 
Her now-deceased adopted parents, Sheila and Steve Cohen, were always forthcoming about Cohen's adoption and the country she came from. And yet she wondered. 
Was she really abandoned by her birth parents as she had been told, or was she an orphan as her Chilean passport and her adoption documents stated? There were many inconsistencies and she knew there was only one way to find out.

She was about to celebrate her 36th birthday when she finally decided to dig into her past. 

Their names had always been in Cohen's adoption documents. Silvia Beatriz Córdova was listed as her biological mother and Jorge Riquelme Díaz as her father. 
In February, she contacted the Chile Adoption Birth Family Search, an online group dedicated to connecting adopted children raised in the United States with their biological parents in Chile.
The group gave her a contact number with the "Carabineros," the Chilean national police. In a matter of weeks, she got the answer she was hoping for: her biological parents were still alive and very eager to meet her.
On July 19, she embarked on a 28-hour journey that would take her from Minneapolis to Santiago, the capital of Chile. After clearing customs and immigration at the airport, she headed to the waiting area where not only her biological parents, but a half-sister and others in her new-found extended family were waiting for her.
"Welcome to Chile, Alisa," read the hand-written posters that led her to the group and to Silvia Beatriz Córdova, the woman who carried her in her womb for nine months. There were no words, only tears of joy.
"I've been waiting my whole life to find my mother," Cohen said, overcome with emotion.
'I never saw her again'
Córdova said she gave Cohen a hug she wishes she could've given her daughter as a newborn baby 36 years ago. 
"I saw her when she was born, but I never saw her again," Córdova said. 
Córdova says she never intended to give her daughter up for adoption. 
"No, no, no. Never! Never! I had already made a bassinet cover for her. I made it myself," she said. "I made it when I learned I was in the third month of my pregnancy."
After giving birth to her daughter, Córdova experienced complications arising from the surgery and had to stay at the hospital for three to four months. 
During that time, she, her husband and other members of the family asked employees at the state-run hospital about their daughter. The answers were evasive and they never saw the baby.
Chile was under the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in 1982 when the birth occurred, and Córdova and her family feared that asking too many questions would put them in danger.
"They would just say things to get rid of us. They lied to my sister, too. It was always like that: lie after lie," Córdova said.
For Alisa Clare Cohen things are finally beginning to make sense. "With the politics at the time and adoption not being regulated until years after I was adopted, even looking at the social worker that processed my adoption there were a lot of things, elements of it that were just incomplete and inconsistent with what I was told," she said.
"Can you imagine waiting for a child for nine months, a child you got yourself ready for and then you don't even get to see the baby? It was terrible, terrible! I could never fully recover emotionally," Córdova said. 
Chilean government officials today say there were so many questionable adoptions back then that authorities now have a name for babies like Cohen.
They're called "Children of Silence." They're babies who were taken away from their biological parents in the '70s and '80s, in many cases without the parents' consent or knowledge of what was happening, and given to adoptive parents. Those children are now in their 30s and 40s and are asking questions about a secret that was kept from them for four decades.
Children of Silence
CNN has documented several cases of adoptions like these, including that of Travis Tolliver, who was also raised by American adoptive parents and didn't meet his biological mother, Nelly Reyes, until he was 41 years old.
"I was wanted, you know? I wasn't given up willingly like I thought for all these years. So that makes my heart feel wonderful," Tolliver told CNN in 2015, the day he reunited with his biological mother who was told at the hospital where she gave birth that her baby was stillborn.
"I'm still very angry. Taking my son away from me was an injustice. Why did they steal my son? I could've raised him just fine," Reyes said, sitting by Tolliver's side.
In 2015, Chilean authorities named a special prosecutor to begin investigating a list of these so-called "irregular adoptions", a list that is reported to include nearly 600 families. Constanza del Río heads an organization that helps families find each other and says they have an even larger list.
"We have 3,000 people that are looking for them. These are adopted people and families that are looking for these babies that were stolen from them," del Río said.
She says during those decades there were entire criminal organizations stealing babies from impoverished families to profit from their sale, while the Pinochet government looked the other way or simply ignored victims.
"Who's responsible for this? Doctors, midwives and social workers who were preying on poor people to steal their children. You need to understand that these kids were sold. This wasn't done for a good reason. They were a mafia selling babies," del Río said.
There will always be unanswered questions. The hospital where Cohen was born no longer exists and the same goes for the adoption agency. For now, it doesn't matter.
Since her adoptive parents passed away a few years ago, Cohen says her Chilean family, and an adopted sister, are all she's got.
"I feel happy, very happy," she said after meeting her biological mother, her eyes welling up with tears.
Neither Córdova nor Cohen speaks the other's language, but the love between a mother and her child, they say, knows no barriers.
