David Goricki The Detroit News Published 11:10 PM EDT Sep 14, 2018 Waterford — Calvin Brown wasn’t about to let Waterford Mott gain any momentum, cutting in front of a receiver and returning an interception 100 yards to help Walled Lake Western to a 52-13 Lakes Valley Conference victory Friday night. Mott (3-1, 3-1) and Western (3-1, 3-0) have developed a strong rivalry in the past several years. The teams split the previous four meetings, including Western’s 38-7 rout in 2016 when it advanced to the Division 2 title game and Mott avenging the loss with a 47-37 victory last year. Western junior Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen set the tempo by making a tackle and getting a pass breakup from his cornerback spot on the opening series before scoring on a 16-yard touchdown reception off a pass from Sam Johnson for a 7-0 cushion. Yaseen would be an impact player all night, coming up with a 40-yard reception on the next series to set up a 41-yard field goal by … [Read more...] about Abdur-Rahmaan Yaseen, Calvin Brown help Walled Lake Western crush Waterford Mott

Convicted killer of Kim Wall on last day of sentence appeals
Updated 12:57 am PDT, Friday, September 14, 2018 COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Danish submarine inventor Peter Madsen, found guilty of torturing and murdering Swedish reporter Kim Wall last year, has appeared in court on the last day of his appeal against a life sentence. Madsen listened quietly Friday during the closing remarks at the Eastern High Court where the prosecutor demanded life, saying the motive was sexual and the crime was planned. In Denmark, a life sentence is on average 16 years, but can be extended if necessary. Madsen, 47, wants a time-limited sentence, not an open-ended prison term. It was unclear when the appeals court would make its ruling. Madsen denies murdering Wall, saying she died accidentally inside the submarine. He has confessed to throwing her body parts into the Baltic Sea. The cause of death has never been established. … [Read more...] about Convicted killer of Kim Wall on last day of sentence appeals

U.S. Congress aim to delay border wall funding fight until December
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Congress negotiators on Thursday moved to put off until after the Nov. 6 elections decisions on future funding for President Donald Trump’s multibillion-dollar southwest border wall, as lawmakers advanced legislation funding many other government programs. The U.S. border wall with Mexico is seen from the United States in Nogales, Arizona September 12, 2018. REUTERS/Adrees Latif Racing against a Sept. 30 deadline when the current fiscal year ends, Republicans and Democrats were showing unusual cooperation in trying to fund most federal agency functions and avoid an embarrassing government shutdown about a month before congressional elections. A trio of massive spending bills were making their way through Congress to fund military, energy and a range of other programs that otherwise would run out of money on Oct. 1. But House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen said that some decisions will have to be put off until Dec. … [Read more...] about U.S. Congress aim to delay border wall funding fight until December
