Bournemouth's 2018/19 season was by no means perfect, but the Cherries finished well clear of the relegation zone and earned a point more than they managed in 2017/18. It's a sign of just how far they've come since earning promotion to the Premier League and, despite their status as one of the league's smallest clubs, they are now firmly established as a mid-table outfit. But, in order to maintain that status, Bournemouth could be in for an arduous summer as they look to cling on to some of their first team stars. Here's a look at who Bournemouth should be looking to retain and sell on during the summer transfer window. Goalkeepers Asmir Begovic - SELL - The Bosnian keeper's stock has fallen considerably since he made the move to the south coast and, let's be honest here, he was pretty diabolical this season. A move elsewhere would make sense for both parties. Marc Travers - KEEP - It's still early days - he's only played two senior games after all - but Travers looks like he could be the real deal. He should be given the number one spot next season. Artur Boruc - KEEP - Boruc's deal runs out this summer and he is certainly no spring chicken, but he should be provided with another year - acting as a backup to Travers. Aaron Ramsdale - KEEP - Ramsdale is highly-rated and could be provided with a few opportunities next season. Full Backs Diego Rico - KEEP - It wasn't a memorable debut season by any means for the Spaniard, but he deserves at least another year to prove himself. Adam Smith - KEEP - Smith has proven himself to be a versatile full-back, capable of doing a job on both flanks - there's very little chance he'll be going anywhere. Charlie Daniels - KEEP/INJURED - Daniels may have been on the chopping block this summer, but his injury will prevent him from going anywhere. Thanks for all the messages of support this week. The road to recovery has already started and I'll be back stronger 💪 #afcb 🍒 pic.twitter.com/qMPHboSZYn   charlie daniels (@chazdaniels13) April 12, 2019 Simon Francis - KEEP/INJURED - Again, the club won't be able to sell Francis, even if they wanted to. Brad Smith - SELL - The Aussie has no future at Bournemouth. Centre Backs Nathan Ake - KEEP - A no-brainer, really. The Cherries must hang on to Ake at all costs. Chris Mepham - KEEP - Mepham didn't do brilliantly after joining the club in January, but he deserves another six months before any judgements are made about his future. Steve Cook - KEEP - Cook may not be the most-talented individual, but his importance to Bournemouth should not be underestimated. Happy to have won the community Award this year. Congratulations to all winners🙏🏽🍒#playerawards#afcb pic.twitter.com/eI3ScDyYt4   Nathan Aké (@NathanAke) May 14, 2019 Tyrone Mings - KEEP - Charlie Daniels and Simon Franics are both set to be out for quite some time so it would be sensible for the Cherries to bring Mings back into the first team setup Jack Simpson - LOAN - Simpson broke into the starting XI at the end of the season, but he may not be ready for a full season in the Premier League just yet. Bournemouth should be looking to bring in a more established centre-back while he continues to develop. Central Midfielders Jefferson Lerma - KEEP - Bournemouth's record signing has enjoyed life in the Premier League so far and he'll continue to play a central role next season. Lewis Cook - KEEP/INJURED - Cook is one of the most promising central midfielders in England and it'll great to see him return to action next season. Andrew Surman - SELL - Surman has been a loyal servant for Bournemouth. but he isn't quite Premier League quality. Cashing in before his current deal expires would be sensible. #PlayOurWay 🍒🍒 pic.twitter.com/a9nVamWhO8   Jefferson Lerma (@jeffersonlerma) May 2, 2019 Dan Gosling - SELL - Perhaps harsh, but Gosling falls into the same category as Surman. There are plenty of midfielders who could act as a serious upgrade. Harry Arter - SELL - He didn't do enough at Cardiff to prove his worth to Bournemouth. Emerson Hyndman - SELL - Hyndman's chances of breaking into the first team are small he has one year left on his current deal. Wingers and Attacking Midfielders Ryan Fraser - KEEP - This one depends on how much opposing sides would be willing to fork out for Scotsman. He's an outstanding talent and would be a huge loss - Bournemouth need to squeeze interested parties for every last penny if they do allow him to leave. Junior Stanislas - SELL - His game time was limited in 2018/19 and if Bournemouth delve into the transfer market then he is only going to fall further down the pecking order. Jordan Ibe - KEEP - He hasn't been able to live up to the hype that surrounded him a few years ago and this could be his final chance to impress. Thank you so much to @afcbournemouth for the opportunity to have such an incredible send off today. So grateful to have been a part of such an incredible journey over the last 9 years - had the time of my life. 🍒 ⚽❤ pic.twitter.com/z065NKZfRp   Marc Pugh (@MarcPugh7) May 4, 2019 Marc Pugh - LEAVING - Pugh will leave the club after nine years' service. David Brooks - KEEP - Keeping him will prove to be a tough task, but tying him down to an improved deal in March should work in Bournemouth's favour. Forwards Callum Wilson - KEEP - Another player Bournemouth will have to fight tooth and nail to hang on to. His record speaks for itself. Josh King - KEEP - King keeps on scoring so there's no reason to consider selling him. Always and honour 🦁 🏴 pic.twitter.com/lEufRN7woG   Callum Wilson (@CallumWilson) May 16, 2019 Dominic Solanke - KEEP - Solanke is hugely talented and, although he's yet to have much of an impact on the south coast, he should come good.  Lys Mousset - SELL - Mousset hasn't been able to displace King or Wilson up top and that's unlikely to change any time soon. Besides, five goals in 71 appearances doesn't make for good reading.

British police on Thursday charged four teenage boys over an alleged homophobic attack on a lesbian couple who refused to kiss in front of them on a London night bus. Melania Geymonat, 28, said she and her girlfriend Chris were robbed and left covered in blood after the incident in the trendy Camden Town area on May 30. The four boys, aged between 15 and 17, were all charged with committing "an aggravated hate crime", London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement. Some of the group also face other charges including theft, handling stolen goods, and possession of cannabis, the force added. They are all set to appear in a London youth court on August 21. Geymonat earlier told the BBC that the gang surrounded the couple while aboard the top deck of the bus. "They started saying really aggressive stuff, things about sexual positions, lesbians and claiming we could kiss so they could watch us," she said. "They started throwing coins. The next thing I know Chris is in the middle of the bus and they are punching her. "So I immediately went there by impulse and tried to pull her out of there and they started punching me. I was really bleeding." Both women were taken to hospital for treatment to facial injuries. Geymonat is from Uruguay while British newspapers reported that her girlfriend is from the US. She told the BBC she has previously experienced "a lot of verbal violence" but had never been assaulted before because of her sexuality. "I was and still am angry," she said. "It was scary, but this is not a novel situation." Britain's then prime minister Theresa May had condemned the violence. "This was a sickening attack and my thoughts are with the couple affected," she said at the time. "Nobody should ever have to hide who they are or who they love and we must work together to eradicate unacceptable violence towards the LGBT community."


Like his grandfather and father before him, Manila Grant Shaver III was named after the Battle of Manila Bay, a big U.S. naval victory on May 1, 1898, in the Spanish-American War. But most people just call the West St. Paul police chief by his nickname: "Bud." "Or else four-letter words," he joked. No one calls him Manila, police Lt. Brian Sturgeon said, "except his wife when she's mad at him." Shaver, who is known for leading the police department with a sense of humor, is retiring Friday, which also happens to be his 63rd birthday. He'll cap off a 37-year law enforcement career that began in St. Croix County (Wis.) and moved to West St. Paul in 1988. "My wife put her foot down and said, 'You're done,' " Shaver said, only half-kidding. "I really enjoy what I do, but there are more things I want to do. There are things I haven't finished here, but I suppose there will always be things I haven't finished." LATEST IN STRING OF DEPARTURES Shaver is among six Dakota County police chiefs to retire or leave their jobs over the past year, a cluster of departures that is not unheard of for the county; four chiefs departed in 2012 after reaching their 30-year-pension milestone. Shaver is currently the longest-serving chief in the county, having been in the job since 2005. "We have a list and I'm on the top of it," he said. "It's called the 'dinosaur list.' " After Friday, that top spot will belong to Jon Rechtzigel, who's been the chief in Apple Valley since 2012. "Now people are looking at me and going, 'When are you leaving?' " Rechtzigel, 55, said, then laughed. "Not yet." Rechtzigel said he's appreciated Shaver's directness and sense of humor, especially at the monthly county chiefs' meetings. "Bud can be an intense guy, but he's got a great sense of humor," he said. "He'll dive right into an issue. If there was a hot topic, Bud was going to be right there and mixing it up and getting things figured out. He's just straight-up, and I really appreciate that about him. You always know where you stand with Bud." NEW CROP OF CHIEFS The exodus of police chiefs in Dakota County is significant, said Hastings Police Chief Bryan Schafer, who serves as president of the Dakota County Chiefs of Police Association. He said the departures will present challenges for things such as county-wide collaborations until the replacements get up to speed. "Six chiefs in a short period of time, that's a lot," he said. "That's half of the contingent down here. But there are some new people coming on board who are educated with lots of experience and new ideas, fresh perspectives." One is Inver Grove Heights Police Chief Melissa Chiodo, who was sworn in May 13 and has the distinction of being the newest of the county's police chiefs. Chiodo, who spent 23 years with Minneapolis police, replaces Paul Schnell, who left to be the state's corrections commissioner. But Chiodo's rookie title won't last for long. Burnsville police Capt. Tanya Schwartz will be sworn in as chief May 31, replacing Eric Gieseke, who retired April 30. "It's pretty close, but I've got a few weeks on her," Chiodo said. Schwartz also won't hold the distinction for long. Mitch Scott retired as Rosemount's chief in February, and this week the city council agreed to promote Cmdr. Mike Dahlstrom to fill the job, starting next month.

In August, former Farmington Police Chief Brian Lindquist stepped down amid city council pressure. Shaver said the best thing a police chief can do before departing is "surround yourself with good people and have a good succession plan. That really minimizes the stress on the department and eases the transition." 'WORKS WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE' A retirement party was held for Shaver in the council chambers at City Hall on Thursday. Past and present police officers from West St. Paul and departments across Dakota County and elsewhere crowded the room. Also there was Dean Rossing, who worked with Shaver in St. Croix County. Shaver joined the county's sheriff's department in 1982 and also worked part-time for the village of Somerset, Wis. Shaver didn't change a bit over his career, Rossing said. "Bud has been a guy who cares about his community and works with a smile on his face," he said. Shaver was smiling a lot Thursday as several people gave speeches. Sturgeon, the West St. Paul lieutenant, drew laughs when he recalled some of the stories about the chief, including the "airplane crash that only Bud witnessed … and the drunk that Bud and I saw outside Perkins. Bud likes to bring up that story." Sturgeon, who has been named the city's interim police chief, said Shaver will be around City Hall past Friday. "I've asked him for the last two weeks, 'Bud, I need to know A, B and C. … This is really frickin' important and I have no idea what this is,' " Sturgeon said. "He said, 'When it comes to it just call me and I'll come in for a day or so and just show you how that works and how to do that.' " The party "was really humbling," Shaver told the gathered crowd. "I would rather work than have you say nice things about me." A video tribute featured a telephone recording of a prank that officer Pat McCarty pulled on the chief a few years ago.

Shaver was duped, telling "Helen" that he would send an officer to her house. Shaver hung up the phone and walked back to the squad room, where officers broke out in laughter. "Good times," the police department wrote in Facebook post this week . "We're going to miss you, Bud!"

Japan on Monday hailed a fairytale finish for Hinako Shibuno, the 20-year-old golf sensation known as 'Smiling Cinderella' who was crowned the surprise winner at the British Open. "She did it!" said TV presenter Tomoaki Ogura after Shibuno, in her debut tournament overseas, became Japan's first Major-winner in 42 years. "Who expected she could do this much in her first competition abroad, a Major championship?" he said in his morning show on a private TV network. Shibuno's win at her first Major dominated morning television shows in Japan on Monday, topping news items. The story broke too late for the front pages of Japan's newspapers, but was splashed across their websites. Despite the huge popularity of golf in Japan, only one Japanese player -- male or female -- had previously won a Major: Chako Higuchi at the 1977 Women's PGA Championship. Social media was abuzz with congratulations for the 20-year-old Shibuno, who only turned pro last year. "A star is born!" tweeted one Japanese user. "A historic achievement," another wrote. On Japanese television, Higuchi said Shibuno looked as "relaxed" as if she were playing in Japan. "She is a new kind of player," the Daily Sports newspaper quoted Higuchi as saying. Gallery: July's best sporting pictures [Photos] Shibuno hit a gutsy 18-foot birdie putt at the final hole to seal victory at Woburn on Sunday, finishing with a 68 and 18-under-par as she beat American Lizette Salas by a single stroke. South Korea's world number one Ko Jin-young, who was seeking her third Major title of the year, had to settle for third place following a 66. Jun Sato, chief of the golf club where Shibuno practised until she graduated from high school, told the Mainichi Shimbun he was elated by the victory. "I don't just feel happy, I feel superb!" he said. Shibuno herself seemed overwhelmed by the victory. "I didn't feel that nervous when I was on the last putt," she told reporters. But after the win "I was just covered in goosebumps and I feel so tense now I just don't know what to say!" She said she planned to celebrate her historic victory by indulging her cravings. "I want to buy as many snacks as I can eat," Kyodo news quoted her as saying.


Arsenal look set to add a top class central midfielder. According to our partners Sky Sports , Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos is in London to have a medical ahead of a season-long loan move to the Gunners. Ceballos, 22, shone for Spain's U21 side as they won the European Championships this summer and the former Real Betis star had previously fallen out with former, and now current, Real boss Zinedine Zidane. A mercurial talent who is able to play as a box-to-box central midfielder or a playmaker, Ceballos' impending arrival seems to be a like-for-like replacement for Aaron Ramsey who departed for Juventus on a free transfer this summer. Unai Emery spoke highly of Ceballos during Arsenal's preseason tour of the USA. "Ceballos is a very good player," Emery said. "I know him from [Real] Betis at the beginning and Real Madrid. He played very well in the under-21s [for Spain], his national team won the [2019 European Championship] competition. He can play as a No. 8 or a No. 10." Ceballos' arrival could suggest that Lucas Torreira or maybe even Mesut Ozil could move on this summer, but neither seems likely, as things stand, and this deal makes financial sense for Arsenal who have just $60 million in their transfer kitty as they chase $100 million-rated Wilfried Zaha . But the move for Ceballos was in some doubt after fellow Real Madrid attacker Marco Asensio suffered a serious knee injury during their friendly win against Arsenal in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. Asensio went down in the second half clutching his knee after turning on the pitch at FedEx Field and Real have since confirmed the Spanish international has suffered a ruptured ACL and meniscus in his left knee. That injury is likely to keep Asensio out for the entire season. Even if Ceballos' move to Arsenal remains on, Asensio's injury could have an impact for Zinedine Zidane and who he allows to leave this summer. Zidane continues to want Gareth Bale to leave but with the Welshman playing and scoring in his 45 minute cameo against Arsenal on Tuesday, perhaps the situation will change, even if Zizou remains adamant that Bale should exit the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

The newest gadgets that Comcast sells can't tune into its TV service or plug into its wired broadband. Instead, the LTE-enabled Apple Watches it began offering Friday , like the cellular-equipped iPads it started selling Wednesday, connect to Comcast's Xfinity Mobile. The low-cost wireless service that Comcast launched in April 2017 runs on Verizon Wireless's network but requires a subscription to Comcast's residential Internet. Comcast has company in offering cheap, resold wireless connectivity to its broadband subscribers. Spectrum introduced its own Verizon-based service, Spectrum Mobile , to its own Internet subscribers last September , and Altice plans to bring a Sprint-based offering to its Optimum subscribers sometime this summer . Cable operators may have consistently poor customer-satisfaction scores , but these new wireless options can offer exceptional bargains. At Xfinity Mobile , you can either pay $12 per gigabyte or $45 for "unlimited"   meaning your connection slows at 20 GB and mobile hotspot speeds stop at a near-useless 600 kilobits per second. Putting an Apple Watch or iPad on a plan adds $10 a month. Spectrum Mobile , meanwhile, charges $14 per GB or $45 for "unlimited" (with a 5 GB data cap for mobile hotspot use and everything slowed after 20 GB), and those prices include taxes and regulatory fees. Tablets require a separate plan. Has yours? Some wireless plans have aged better than others Before you head out: 6 travel hacks you need to know for summer vacation Why is it cheaper? Cable operators can beat the rates of the big four wireless carriers because they can offload some wireless subscribers' traffic onto the WiFi networks they've been building out for years . But these offerings also come with gotchas of their own. For example, Xfinity doesn't let you bring an Android phone purchased elsewhere, limiting "bring your own device" affordability to iPhones . It also restricts Voice-over-LTE calling   without which you can't talk on the cellular connection and use it for data at the same time   to most iPhones and older Samsung Galaxy devices. Spectrum limits "BYOD" to recent iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones and supports WiFi calling only on "select" phones , including iPhones, Galaxy devices and Google Pixels. Susan Welsh de Grimaldo, director of service provider strategies at Strategy Analytics , said the appeal of these cable deals diminishes as data consumption and the number of phones in a household increase. "For many families with more substantial data use on smartphones while out and about and not on Wi-Fi, the shared plan discounts on other providers may be a better deal," she said in an email. She also warned against Xfinity and Spectrum's international-roaming rates   both, for example, charge 10 cents a megabyte in France. Jeffrey Moore, principal at Wave7 Research , commented that the major carriers offer far more stores for in-person service   "thousands versus hundreds," he emailed. Both Moore and de Grimaldo predicted that Altice's service should surpass Sprint's network today and yield better performance for Sprint's own subscribers, thanks to the roughly 19,000 small cell sites Altice has built on its own infrastructure. "These efforts are likely to lead Sprint to be second to none in parts of Altice's footprint," Moore wrote. De Grimaldo said this may also result in lower rates: "Altice has a better cost structure that it can pass through in lower prices for mobile data plans." With any of these services, it's also important to remember the cable operator's long-term interest in selling you another line of service: making it a little harder for you to take your broadband business elsewhere.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA)   The Northern California town of Paradise became a raging inferno and literally burned to the ground. Eighty-five people were killed in the fire now blamed on high winds and downed power lines. The Thomas Fire started the same way. CBS2/KCAL9 reporter Greg Mills says Southern California Edison has a plan to keep anything like those devastating fires from happening again. "Our intent is to try to minimize the likelihood of that happening," says Don Daigler with So Cal Edison. Where there is extreme fire danger and on days when conditions warrant, the power giant plans on cutting power. Mills spoke to some residents who question the move. "I don't think they should do that," says Damon Moore of Altadena. "This impacts a lot of people," says Noah Moss, also of Altadena, "So, they'd better be pretty sure before they are cutting my power off." During red flag conditions, if power is cut, there is no chance of a downed power line sparking a blaze. Edison says it will contact customers starting as early as two days prior to the shutdown to give them time to prepare. So Cal Edison says they tested the system on a very small scale last year. "We impacted less than 150 customers," Daigler says, "and the outages for those customers was less than 24 hours." People in the most vulnerable areas (the mountains and the foothills) are advised and encouraged to have a fire plan   there are power lines all over and lots of fuel (trees and bushes) to feed a wildfire.


A six-year-old South Korean YouTube star with 30 million subscribers has purchased a multimillion dollar, five-story property in Seoul. Boram bought the 9.5 billion Korean won ($8 million) building in the trendy Seoul suburb of Gangnam earlier this year, through the Boram Family company, which was set up by the YouTuber's parents, according to a public real estate registration document. Boram has two popular YouTube accounts on which she posts content: a toy review channel with 13.6 million subscribers and a video blog account with 17.6 million subscribers. In one of her most popular clips, which attracted over 376 million views , Boram makes instant noodles using a plastic toy kitchen and then enthusiastically slurps them down on camera. But some of Boram's content has attracted controversy in South Korea for the values it promotes. In 2017, non-governmental organization Save the Children received complaints from citizens in South Korea who were worried Boram's clips could negatively impact the emotional and ethical development of young viewers. They were especially concerned by staged clips that showed Boram stealing money from her father's wallet and appearing to drive cars on the road, the organization's advocacy department manager Koh Woohhyun told CNN. Save the Children reported her videos to the police. The Seoul Family Court ordered Boram's parents to complete a counseling course designed to prevent child abuse. The offending clips have since been taken down, Koh said. CNN has reached out to Boram's representatives and YouTube for comment but had not heard back at the time of publishing. The big business of child stardom On YouTube, child stars can be big business. According to Forbes, the highest earning YouTuber last year was seven-year-old Ryan Kaji, the American star of Ryan ToysReview . In 2018, he earned an estimated $22 million through his channel, which has attracted over 20.8 million subscribers. Other young stars include five-year-old American Tydus, who appears on his family's YouTube channel Trav and Cor , which has 3.1 million subscribers. YouTubers make money in a number of ways, including through taking a cut of the ads that play on their videos, and by partnering with brands to sell merchandise or include products in their content. Boram, for instance, sometimes links out to products featured in her video reviews. In the past, some people have raised concerns over how YouTube handles videos that feature children. In February, YouTube decided to switch off comments on videos of minors after accusations that the platform had aided pedophiles in finding clips of children. At the time, a YouTube spokesperson told CNN Business the company had reviewed and removed thousands of inappropriate comments, terminated over 400 channels, and removed dozens of videos that included minors.


A Pink Panther-wannabe struck in a jewelry heist like no other, swapping out a multi-thousand dollar jewel for a fake at a Georgia jewelry store for the first time in the shop's 80-year history. A man who identified himself as Mike Lynch came to D. Geller & Son in Smyrna, Georgia to look at jewelry about 1 p.m. on Monday, Sara Smathers, marketing coordinator for the store told INSIDE EDITION. He worked with one of the store's sales associates, looking at 2-carat emerald cut diamonds . But the man did not buy anything and left, returning around closing time at 7 p.m. to look at a few more diamonds, she said. "He stepped out and said he was going to smoke. When our sales professionals went back to the area he was sitting at, they inspected the tray and the diamond had been taken," Smathers said. The man had swapped out a diamond worth $28,000 with a fake cubic zirconia and left. A sales associates tried to flag him down, but the man made off with the precious stone. "The car he was driving was not visible and calls to his number were unanswered," she said. A police report was filed with the Smyrna Police Department. Store officials believe the man may be working with an accomplice and could be tied to a theft attempt at a jeweler in Virginia during December 2015. The stolen 2.15 ct round brilliant diamond is girdle inscribed with GIA Report #5193594096.


Kris Jenner Kris Jenner thinks she "failed" Bruce Jenner. The 59-year-old matriarch is reportedly devastated she didn't do more for her ex-husband when he made the decision to become a woman. A source said: "That interview made her think twice about herself and she thinks she's failed miserably as his wife. "Hearing Bruce say that they would still be together if she were able to handle his transition better than she did sent chills throughout her entire body. She feels she failed him." But Bruce, 65, is said to have promised her that she was "the perfect wife". An insider added to HollywoodLife.com: "Bruce assured her that she didn't fail him and told her she was 'the perfect wife' and that 'everything happens for a reason'. "He begged Kris to not feel guilty and reminded her that some of the best years he spent as a man were with her." Meanwhile, Kris and Bruce's children Kendall and Kylie Jenner have tweeted their support for the former Olympian. Kylie wrote: "I'm very proud of the man that gave me everything I have, he's my inspiration to be strong every single day no matter what, I love you dad (sic)" Whilst Kendall added: "Dad..

For the first time, attendance at amusement parks exceeded half a billion visits in 2018, a figure that represents nearly seven percent of the world population. That's according to the latest edition of the TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index, which paints a portrait in numbers of the theme park and museum industries every year. In 2018, attendance at the world's biggest theme park operators -- Disney, Merlin Entertainment, Universal etc. -- reached 501.2 million visits, representing a five percent growth over 2017. With 20.86 million visitors in 2018, Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida was the most visited amusement park in the world, followed by Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort in Florida and Tokyo Disneyland. Authors of the report attribute the worldwide growth to new investments, innovative experiences, rides and programming, destination tourism development and, most importantly, story-based or intellectual property attractions. Think "Toy Story Land" which opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios last June, and the ongoing popularity of "Pandora - The World of Avatar" at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando. Looking forward, 2019 is also poised to be a good year for theme park attendance, with the openings of "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" at Disneyland and Walt Disney World this year. Here are the top 10 amusement parks of 2018: 1. Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 2. Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, California 3. Tokyo Disneyland at Tokyo Disney Resort, Tokyo 4. Tokyo DisneySea at Tokyo Disney Resort, Tokyo 5. Universal Studios Japan, Osaka, Japan 6. Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park at Walt Disney World Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 7. Epcot Theme Park at Walt Disney World Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida8. Shanghai Disneyland, Shanghai, China 9. Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 10. Chimelong Ocean Kingdom Hengqin, China In the category of waterparks, Chimelong Water Park in Guangzhou, China was the most visited splash park in the world with 2.74 million visitors.


An NYPD officer accused of plotting to kill her husband has appeared in court her prison uniform as the man faced her down - and his mother said she 'could be planning a funeral' if the alleged plot had succeeded. Valerie Cincinelli is charged with seeking out a hitman to murder her estranged husband Isaiah Carvalho. The 34-year-old cop allegedly offered her boyfriend John DiRubba $7,000 to find a hitman - but DiRubba was an FBI informant who was wearing a wire, it is claimed. Cincinelli, who is also accused of conspiring to kill DiRubba's 14-year-old daughter, denies the charges. Speaking outside court, Carvalho's mother Mary Ann Roach told NBC : 'It's horrific, it's horrible, I don't see how anyone could do this to somebody.' Appearing emotional and flanked by Carvalho's stepfather, she added: 'I could be planning a funeral instead.' DiRubba and Carvalho himself also appeared in court, where a federal judge ordered Cincinelli to stay in custody despite her attorney's bid to secure her bail. The judge, Sandra Feuerstein, will look at further video and recordings before deciding on bail, it is reported. According to a New York Daily News report, DiRubba - a 54-year-old who has been described as a 'sugar daddy' - still pines after Cincinelli and said it 'hurts me so much' to think of his ex-girlfriend in prison. 'Then again the evil one should stay there so your head spins!,' DiRubba, a former Italian bakery owner, reportedly said. Meanwhile Cincinelli's attorney James Kousouros maintained the officer's innocence, saying: 'There was no plan, there was no hitman, there was no payment to anybody.' According to court papers, investigators arrested Cincinelli - an NYPD officer since 2007 - after an elaborate plot to fake Carvalho's death. A local detective went to her Long Island home to make a phony notification that her husband had been found murdered, court papers say. Cincinelli sobbed during the notification - but hidden devices recorded her discussing an 'alibi' with her boyfriend, it is alleged. Later that day, an FBI agent posing as the hitman sent the informant a text purporting to show Carvalho's dead body. 'In response, Cincinelli instructed the (informant) to delete the text messages and photographs, citing her fear that law enforcement could subpoena the phone,' prosecutors allege. Carvalho said the FBI told him: 'We don't know how to tell you this, but your wife put a hit out on you.' Describing the sting operation, Carvalho said last month that authorities had him sit in his car and hunch over into the passenger seat. Investigators put glass on the floor and all over him, he said, calling the incident 'absolutely insane'. The boyfriend is said to have told Cincinelli that the supposed hit man was stalking Carvalho at his workplace on Long Island, but the NYPD cop protested that the area was too upscale. Instead, Cincinelli said he should be killed in 'the hood' or 'the ghetto' so 'it would not look suspicious,' court papers say. Worried that two deaths close together would raise suspicion, Cincinelli advised her boyfriend 'to have the hit man kill [the teen] over the weekend and then wait a week or a month to kill' her husband, the documents said. Court papers say Cincinelli and her estranged husband had orders of protections against each other. She knew the informant from their own 'volatile' romantic history, it is claimed. On February 18, prosecutors say that Cincinelli moved forward with the plot by withdrawing $7,000 from a TD Bank branch. She allegedly gave the money to the boyfriend to buy five ounces of gold coins to be used to pay the purported hit man. Cincinelli's lawyers acknowledge the gold coin purchase but insist there was no intended payment to a hitman. The NYPD officer, who has her own children with Carvalho, also wanted the supposed hit man to kill her new boyfriend's own teen daughter because she was in the way of their relationship, the court documents allege. Before her arrest, the NYPD had put her on desk duty for breaking various department rules, prosecutors say. Cincinelli's family have come out strongly for her, with her father Louis describing her unnamed boyfriend as a 'wacko pathological liar' and a 'bum.' 'I don't know what happened, but I do know my daughter and I knew this was not true when I first heard it,' Louis Cincinelli previously told ABC News. Mr Cincinelli suggested that his daughter's boyfriend has framed her as payback for throwing him out of her house two weeks earlier. If convicted of murder for hire, Cincinelli could face up to 10 years on each count, and 20 years for obstruction of justice. She denies the charge. The case continues.


Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc have been at the centre of some of Formula 1's most exciting moments in the last two races, and as we found out after their Austrian GP run-in, their rivalry dates back to karting days.

The Saints signed Wyoming defensive end Carl Granderson despite the rookie free agent's pending legal issue. Granderson has a jury trial in Wyoming scheduled for July 15 in a sexual assault case, the Casper Star-Tribune reports. "We felt real comfortable with everything we knew, and so far he's done a good job here," Saints coach Sean Payton said after the second day of team's rookie minicamp, via Josh Katzenstein of The Times-Picayune . Granderson faces one count of third-degree sexual assault and one of sexual battery. He pleaded not guilty in Albany County District Court. Two women allege Granderson touched them sexually without consent at an off-campus apartment in November, days after his final college game. After Granderson went undrafted, the Saints gave him a $15,000 signing bonus and guaranteed $70,000 of his base salary, per Katzenstein. Granderson made 173 tackles, 35.5 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, three interceptions and three forced fumbles in 42 games over four seasons at Wyoming.

The New England Patriots have released receiver Bruce Ellington, the team announced on Wednesday. He was waived with an injury designation . The Patriots signed Ellington on March 15. It's a surprise that the team would part ways with him so quickly. Though, the injury designation provides some context. The 5-foot-9, 200-pound receiver has played five NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, the Houston Texans and the Detroit Lions. He seemed like he could be in the mix to contribute as a returner and slot receiver in New England. However, his short-lived stint with the Patriots came to close before he got the chance to catch a pass from Tom Brady. Releasing Ellington leaves a spot open on the Patriots' 90-man roster. That spot could get filled by tackle Jared Veldheer, who plans to sign with New England , or free agent tight end Benjamin Watson, who is visiting the Patriots on Thursday.

WINNERS Christopher Bell   Score another win for the Big 3 in the Xfinity Series. Bell collected his fourth victory of the season Sunday. His 12 wins in 55 Xfinity starts is tied with Dale Earnhardt for second most in the first 55 Xfinity races for any driver. Darrell Waltrip owns the record with 13 wins in his first 55 Xfinity starts. Both Earnhardt and Waltrip had Cup wins before making their first Xfinity start. Bell has not made a Cup start.

What Cincinnati area restaurant chains do you think should go national? If you chose either Graeter's and Skyline, you're not alone. Insider online magazine recently identified several Midwest restaurant chains it wished would go national, and Graeter's and Skyline made the list. Insider said that several of the chains included on the list, including Graeter's and Skyline, have locations outside of the Midwest. Since they're based in the Midwest and primarily serve that region of the United States, they were included. Graeter's was celebrated for its French pot ice cream, "a creamy dairy confection that has a denser consistency than regular ice cream," Insider noted. The ice cream shop has locations throughout Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Pittsburgh. Skyline's layered chili piled high with cheese won the hearts of the folks at Insider. "The main attraction is the three-way, a plate of spaghetti piled with chili and a heaping mound of cheddar cheese," Insider reported. Skyline already has locations in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Florida. Other midwest restaurant chains Insider wished would go national included: Iowa-based Happy Joe's, famous for its taco pizza. Iowa-based Maid-Rite, famous for its loose meat sandwiches. Windstead's in Kansas City, famous for its signature steakburgers. Nebraska-based Runza with its Eastern European bread pocket. Kansas-based Spangles with its burgers and wraps. Michigan-based Big John's Steak and Onion, famous for its steak and onion sub. Lion's Choice in Missouri and Illinois, known for its original sandwiches and crispy fries. Schoop's Hamburgers in Indiana and Illinois for its hamburgers. Ohio-based Max & Erma's for its menu with something for everyone. This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Online magazine wishes 2 Cincinnati restaurant chains would go national

Even though the inaugural Houston Texans Ring of Honor member has not played a down for the club since 2014, and his last season was with the Tennessee Titans in 2016, receiver Andre Johnson is still relevant in fantasy football. How? In PPR formats from 2008 to 2018, Johnson is still top-10 with 1,899.9 points, which is absurd considering the former Miami Hurricane has not suited up since 2016. When Johnson was still in the NFL, many in the fantasy football community would draft the former Texan number one overall in most leagues in 2008 and 2009. Johnson's stats those years were great; with 1,575 receiving yards in '08, and 1,569 in '09. Back then, it was hard to argue not drafting him in your fantasy leagues number one overall. As the years go by, there will be many other great WRs that will eventually pass the former Texan great. Until that happens it is still cool fantasy football stat for Texans fans to appreciate. So while Johnson isn't relevant in terms of coming out of retirement and playing alongside DeAndre Hopkins with quarterback Deshaun Watson chucking him the ball, Johnson has set the bar pretty high for receivers in fantasy football.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are bringing back one of their veteran defensemen, re-signing Braydon Coburn to a two-year deal . The contract carries an average annual value of $1.7M, a considerable drop from Coburn's last deal. Coburn, 34, actually had an excellent bounce-back season for the Lightning in 2018-19, finishing with 23 points in 74 games and solid possession statistics. While he's no longer the 22+ minute man he was during his prime for the Philadelphia Flyers, Coburn still represents a reliable veteran presence on the blue line for Tampa Bay. That was obviously important for the team to maintain, given that Dan Girardi and Anton Stralman are both scheduled to become unrestricted free agents this summer. With Coburn back in the mix, it seems unlikely that the team will be able to afford either one unless they sign for a considerable bargain. That's because the Lightning now sit at a projected $76M in cap commitments for next season. Amazingly, that doesn't include a deal for young star center Brayden Point , who will certainly cost more than the $6.88M in cap space the team currently projects to have unless he takes a short-term bridge deal. Tampa Bay is expected to make a move to clear some cap space at some point this offseason. This deal however doesn't drastically change the arithmetic for the Lightning. They were always going to have to bring in at least one more defenseman, and a $1.7M cap hit is reasonable for a veteran of more than 1,000 NHL games. The question will be if Coburn can continue to play at a championship level throughout the two-year deal, as the Lightning still hold contender status in the Eastern Conference. Luckily, the team already has Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh locking down the left side, taking a lot of pressure off the veteran.

British Fashion Awards 2014 There were many noteworthy moments at the British Fashion Awards last night, most of which happened after the last red carpet step-and-repeat was stepped. There was a rare John Galliano appearance, a heartfelt Anna Wintour speech, a tearful tribute from one Delevingne sister (Poppy) to another (Cara), and plenty of thanks to the late, great Louise Wilson. But, in true fashion form, the chatter first started on the red carpet, where honorees and guests discussed what (or whom) they were wearing. In keeping with the night's theme, most of the looks ahead came courtesy of British designers   from Rihanna's scanty Stella McCartney outfit to Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo both in styles from the emerging Emilia Wickstead. In tribute to the risk-taking, cheeky, and conversation-starting creations from the U.K. (and beyond), here are the best looks from last night's prestigious event. Michelle Dockery Michelle Dockery stunned in Erdem, and founder Erdem Moralioglu just so happened to win the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. Olivia Palermo Olivia Palermo inspired us to try this for the holidays: Match a luxe ball-gown skirt, like this Emilia Wickstead one, with a tee of a totally different fabric. Cara Delevinge Cara Delevingne might have opted for a floor-length beaded design, but the geometric colorblocking on this Burberry Prorsum number keeps it a bit sporty to match the model's off-duty style. Joan Smalls If you were wondering where all the cutouts went, they are right here on Joan Smalls' Tom Ford dress. Anna Wintour While Anna Wintour can often be found wearing Chanel and Prada, she made a statement with her choice to wear a John Galliano creation from his new post at Maison Martin Margiela. Alexa Chung Alexa Chung, also in Emilia Wickstead, had arguably the best handbag of the night in the form of a take-out container-shaped piece by Charlotte Olympia. Emma Watson There's no question about who wears the pants around here. It's Emma Watson, and her pair of choice is oversized and by Misha Nonoo. Poppy Delevinge Poppy Delevingne's sheer party frock is from Topshop   proof that British fashion, both luxury and high-street, was celebrated last night. Rihanna No pants, no shirt, no problem. Rihanna in Stella McCartney never ceases to amaze us. Kendall Jenner Kendall Jenner's Emilio Pucci jumpsuit is best appreciated from the side, where you can peek the athletic-inspired racing stripe. Rita Ora Rita Ora's Tom Ford ensemble didn't skimp on slit height. Or drama. Ashley Madewke Ashley Madewke's Bianca Jagger-esque white suit is from Banana Republic. Yes, BANANA REPUBLIC. Victoria Beckham Victoria Beckham in Brand of the Year winner Victoria Beckham. What else? Suki Waterhouse Suki Waterhouse was charming in a tiered Burberry Prorsum frock plucked from the spring runway, and a color-coordinating handbag. Naomie Harris Naomie Harris' Peter Pilotto piece was bold, graphic, and bright from afar. Up close, you can see it's also embellished with sparkling Swarovski crystals, the sponsor of last night's event.


New Zealand has unveiled plans to create a South Pacific marine sanctuary the size of France, saying it would protect one of the world's most pristine ocean environments. Prime Minister John Key said the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary would cover an area of 620,000 square kilometres (240,000 square miles) about 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) off New Zealand's northeast coast. Announcing the plans at the United Nations in New York on Monday, Key said the Kermadec area was home to thousands of important species, including whales, dolphins, seabirds and endangered turtles. "(It) is one of the most geographically and geologically diverse areas in the world," he said in a statement. "It contains the world's longest underwater volcanic arc and the second deepest ocean trench at 10 kilometres deep." The sanctuary will prevent fishing and mineral exploitation in an area where scientists regularly discover new marine species. Conservation groups applauded the move, saying it added to a network of protected areas in the Pacific that now covered more than 3.5 million square kilometres. "We congratulate the government for taking decisive action to protect this incredibly special area from mining and fishing," World Wildlife Fund New Zealand chief executive Chris Howe said. "This decision puts New Zealand back at the forefront of marine protection on the global stage." - Globally important - Scientists also applauded the decision to ban all forms of resource extraction from the marine zone, which is remote and largely unsurveyed or scientifically sampled. "The Kermadec region is an exceptional place and is very much in need of protection before large-scale exploitation really commences," said Jonathan Gardner from Victoria University's school of biological sciences in Wellington. "As a contribution to large scale marine conservation the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary is globally important." The variation in the area, which spans from tropical to sub-tropical waters, means it boasts a high diversity of habitat types including active undersea volcanoes, ridges and the Kermadec Trench itself, said Malcolm Clark from New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. Some organisms are only found in that part of the world while others, such as whales, include it in their migration routes, he said. "We are just beginning to understand the abundance of life there," said Bronwen Golder from the Pew environmental organisation. "But we know that creating this marine sanctuary will safeguard rare habitats and species critical for healthy ecosystems throughout the South Pacific." New Zealand's Environment Minister Nick Smith said oceans were the new frontier for environmental protection, making up 72 percent of the globe and home to half of the world's species, but with only two percent protected despite pressures from over-fishing, mining and pollution. Conservation efforts are underway in the Pacific to create a network of marine parks across the region to ensure one of the world's last pristine ocean ecosystems is managed sustainably. In 2012 the Cook Islands unveiled a 1,065 million square kilometre marine park while Kiribati and Tokelau have also declared huge protected zones. New Zealand said it hoped to have legislation enacted in parliament to ensure the sanctuary in place by October 2016.


California's magnificent Tri-Valley is an aptly-named triangle-shaped region in the San Francisco Bay area just 35 miles east of the city. Yet, in many ways, it feels a world away. With close to 60 wineries, picturesque surroundings, a craft beer trail, phenomenal cuisine and almost picture-perfect weather, Tri-Valley provides a splendid experience for so many reasons. Stay in Perfect Accommodations Aloft Dublin-Pleasanton is the ideal central location for a Tri-Valley stay. Opened in 2018, the delightful boutique property with state-of-the-art technology is one of the first to utilize Alexa for Hospitality, a voice-activated system enabling guests to request services from the comfort of their room. Rooms are well-appointed, service is top-notch and the hotel sports a swimming pool, hot tub and fitness center. The lobby bar specializes in craft cocktails and light bites. Discover Delightful Small Towns and Museums This magnificent region includes the communities of Danville, Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton, each uniquely reflecting a slower almost-utopian pace of life. Danville is home to Tao House, the former residence of playwright Eugene O'Neill. The charming town also boasts one of the most impressive car museums in the world. Blackhawk Museum not only delights vintage car enthusiasts, but its Spirit of the Old West exhibit showcases the rich history of the Western Frontier along with honest renditions of the struggles between its Native Americans and early settlers. Dublin, named after its many Irish immigrants who once lived here, is home to some of the best ethnic cuisine in the Bay Area. The town is known as "America's backyard" and its eateries, such as Mayflower Chinese Restaurant, specialize in dim-sum dishes that are out of this world. Livermore isn't just about the renowned wineries scattered throughout the scenic region as its downtown is also home to a vibrant cultural arts community. Bankhead Theater hosts a myriad of plays, comedy acts and musical performances on its stage. Pleasanton is an outdoor enthusiast's dream with 1,200 acres of parks, trails and open spaces. And its easily-walkable historic main street and side roads are filled with charming boutiques and splendid dining venues. Explore the Wineries Spanish missionaries began growing grapes in California's Livermore Valley in the 1760s, making it one of California's oldest wine regions. The valley was named for Robert Livermore, the pioneer who planted the first commercial vines here in the 1840s. The quality of its wines was proven on the world stage in 1889 when a white wine from Livermore Valley's former Cresta Blanca Winery was awarded the Grand Prix at the International Paris Exposition. Only two of the valley's wineries survived prohibition by making sacramental wines. But today, this amazing region, with its ideal climate of coastal breezes and fog coming in from the coast, is filled with thriving vineyards. With its warm sunny days and cooler evenings allowing the vines to rest, Tri-Valley is producing over 30 varietals of ribbon-winning wines. The Valley's first family-owned boutique winery, Fenestra Winery boasts a rustic tasting room on the site of century-old former George True Winery. Surrounded by antique wine-making equipment and vintage remains, the winery is literally a walk through history. Winemaker, Aaron Luna is passionate about his award-winning creations made primarily from Livermore Valley grapes. A combination of whites, rosés, reds and dessert wines are available for tasting. Fenestra's best-seller, TruRed is a blend Luna fondly refers to as the "kitchen sink." Its 15 varietal combinations make this magnificently smooth red wine quite popular. Wente Vineyards , founded in 1883, is the country's oldest continuously operating family-owned winery. In 1912, the winery imported Chardonnay cuttings from Montpellier, France to the Livermore Valley. In 1936, Wente introduced Chardonnay to California for the first time. A fortuitous decision for today as over 80 percent of all California Chardonnay stems from the original Wente Clone. The picturesque winery is known for its summer concert series featuring world-renowned entertainers. Extensive gardens on property provide its restaurants with a variety of herbs, fruits and vegetables. We were in awe of Wente's magnificent barrel room, once a part of the old Cresta Blanca winery housing meticulously hand-carved 1882 wine barrels, but it's the extensive array of wines here that steal the show. Morning Fog and Riva Ranch Chardonnays are outstanding, as are its rosés, reds and blends. "A hobby gone wild" is what Larry Dino, founder and winemaker, calls his Cuda Ridge Winery. What began as casual garage winemaking for him and his spouse progressed to serious business focusing on Bordeaux-style wines. The winery is named after Dino's vintage purple Barracuda with wine labels paying homage to the car's color and design. Livermore Valley's only certified organic winery, Retzlaff Vineyards & Estate Winery is nestled among 100-year-old pepper trees and scattered almond and eucalyptus trees. Victorian structures from the historic former Connelly Estate were lovingly refurbished and now house the family's residences, winery and tasting room. The verdant grounds are popular for casual picnics or organized social and family events. Sparkling, whites, reds and a blush are all made here, though it's the Cabernet that put Retzlaff on the map. Experience the Craft Beer Renaissance Livermore Valley may be known for its award-winning wines, but it's the buzzing brew scene that's an up-and-coming superstar. Hops have been grown in the Tri-Valley for hundreds of years so it's no wonder the California craft beer craze has caught on here like wildfire. Today, the valley features a Brew Trail with 24 stops that is an increasingly popular part of the local scene. One of its participants, BottleTaps , a craft-brew taproom and upscale joint, pairs mouthwatering savory bites with its extensive collection of tap and bottled beer, ciders and kombuchas. One of its most popular items is the Banquet Pretzel Board, an impressive pretzel delight filled with a variety of meats, cheeses and accompanied by olives and nuts that are perfect for sharing. Make no mistake, BottleTaps culinary creations are not your typical pub fare. Savor the Fork-to-Table Scene Restaurants in the Tri-Valley are turning to the area's bountiful produce from its local farms, and innovative chefs in the valley's honest to goodness true-blue farm-to-fork eateries are turning out foods that are simply to die for. Danville Harvest takes fresh locally-sourced ingredients and creates dishes that are simply divine. It's no wonder the rustic eatery with its touches of elegance is so popular. Must-tries include its Scallion Hushpuppies with sugar cane syrup butter and Avocado Bruschetta on a rosemary focaccia. It's all about sustainability, local ingredients and top-notch gourmet small-plates at Pleasanton's Sabio on Main.

You won't want to share. Located in an 1800s renovated brick building in downtown Livermore, Range Life's menu isn't extensive, but it is impressive. Working with local farmers, ranchers and fisherman, its seasonal California cuisine is as fresh and quality-driven as it can possibly be. We loved the blistered sugar snap peas with fresh ricotta, sunflower and dried padron (chili peppers) as a starter. And the grass-fed sirloin steak was a standout. Discovering the Tri-Valley region was an unexpected treasure. Rich in culture, history, culinary gems, craft brews and vintage California wineries, the area offered far more to do than we had time for. Rest assured, we'll be back.

A 47-year-old man who brought a 13-year-old to a Massachusetts hospital shortly before she died has been charged with giving the girl drugs, prosecutors said. Carlos Rivera faces two counts of distribution of a Class B drug to a minor, two counts of indecent assault on a child younger than 14 and one count of indecent assault on a child older than 14, the Essex District Attorney's Office said in a Saturday news release. After police questioned him early Saturday, Rivera was arrested and is being held on a $750,000 bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Lawrence District Court on Tuesday, which CNN affiliate WHDH reports will take place hours before the girl's wake. The 13-year-old Amesbury girl, who was in the eighth grade, and another teenager, who prosecutors say is younger than 16, spent the evening of May 19 and most of the next day at Rivera's apartment in Lawrence. Accompanied by the other girl, Rivera brought the 13-year-old to Lawrence General Hospital on Monday around 4:47 p.m., and she died shortly afterward, prosecutors said. The medical examiner has not yet determined a cause of death. It is not clear what drugs Rivera is accused of giving the teenagers, but Class B drugs include cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, methamphetamine and some powerful painkillers. Indecent assault in Massachusetts involves the touching of breasts, buttocks or genitals. Authorities did not say how or where Rivera met the girls. Amesbury is about 20 miles northeast of Lawrence. The girl's mother, Debi Goldsmith-Dolan, was desperate for answers. "All you had to do if she was sick was call an ambulance. Do something to try to save her. You took away my world," she told CNN affiliate WBZ . Stepfather Brian Dolan told CNN affiliate WCVB that a hospital staffer told him that the girl had no pulse when she arrived at the emergency room. "As soon as I heard that I was like, 'What? You got to be kidding,'" he told the station. He told WCVB his stepdaughter was a "great kid" who had had some trouble coping with her father's death five years ago. "She was pretty smart. She was bright. She was beautiful," Dolan told WCVB. "Just the wrong place with the wrong people."


SALT LAKE CITY   A Utah man who pleaded guilty to trying to kidnap a young girl from her bed was sentenced Monday to at least six years and up to life in prison in the attempt thwarted by the child's father. Troy Morley, 49, cried during the hearing as he said he was high on methamphetamine when he sneaked into the suburban Salt Lake City house and took the 5-year-old child from her room. He did it because he was paranoid and thought that having the girl with him would protect him, said his lawyer, Roger Kraft. Before he started using meth in February 2014, Morley was a computer engineer, Kraft said. "I had a good job, I had a good life, and I gave it up," Morley said. But the child's parents said the drug alone wasn't at fault. Mother Stephanie Edson asked for a long sentence for Morley. She said her daughter was so traumatized by what she calls simply the "scary thing" that the family eventually left their home in search of a new start. In the months after the kidnapping attempt, they first replaced the clothes that Morley touched when he entered the girl's room and moved furniture that brought back bad memories. Then they moved out. Aaron Edson says he still has to be careful not to scare his daughter when he goes into her new bedroom to wake her up. "There is virtually no chance we would have seen our daughter again had I not been in the right place at the right time," he said. Police say the couple woke up when Morley tried to walk out the front door with the child in his arms on Nov. 7, 2014. They were especially concerned when they heard her voice because their daughter has cerebral palsy and physical limitations that make it difficult for her to leave her room alone. Aaron Edson followed Morley outside and calmly asked him to give the girl back, police said. Morley handed her over and left, saying he needed to go to a church and rambling about the FBI, according to testimony from Detective Robert Webb early this year. Morley was arrested a few blocks away. He lives in the northern Utah town of Roy but was in the city of Sandy, a suburb just south of Salt Lake City, because he got tired on the way back from Nevada and stopped at a hotel. But after telling a desk clerk to call 911, he started walking around the neighborhood where the girl lives with her parents. Morley pleaded guilty to one count of child kidnapping, and prosecutors dismissed three other charges   burglary, criminal trespassing and interference with an arresting officer. As she handed down the sentence, Judge Charlene Barlow noted Morley agreed to the plea partly because he didn't want the girl to have to testify. "We can scare ourselves about what would have happened or could have happened. Thankfully, we don't have to scare ourselves," she said. After Morley serves the minimum of six years, a parole board will hold hearings and determine how much longer he'll stay in prison.

After two Chinese private companies failed to launch a rocket into orbit, another one is giving it a third go. Beijing-based Interstellar Glory Space Technology (also known as iSpace) is launching a rocket today (July 25) at 1pm local time from Jiuquan, a state launch facility in the Gobi desert, a company spokesperson told Quartz. If it succeeds, it would be the first private Chinese space company to launch a rocket into orbit an essential step in the commercialization of applications such as transporting satellites. The three-year-old firm is launching a 20-meter-tall (65 feet) rocket called Hyperbola-1. It weighs 31 metric tons (34 tons), and consists of three solid-propellant stages and a fourth liquid-propellant stage. It's designed to have a payload of 300 kilograms (660 lbs) in low-earth orbit, and 150 kg (330 lbs) in orbits of 700 kilometers (430 miles), according to the company (link in Chinese). LandSpace and OneSpace , two other private companies, failed to launch a rocket into orbit in October and March, respectively. The failure of those launches is creating uncertainty over China's private space industry, as multiple companies compete to enter the launch market for small commercial satellites. The government called for private investment in the sector in 2014, but so far no company has been able to launch a rocket into orbit. It's unclear how much it cost for iSpace to build the rocket. Chinese state-owned automaker Changan's passenger car brand Oushang said it would sponsor the launch, but didn't specify the amount. In OneSpace's case, the firm's nine-meter-tall, solid-propellent rocket cost the company $78 million to design, build, and launch. iSpace's main private backers (link in Chinese) include domestic private-equity firms CDH Investments and Matrix Partners. iSpace didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. But private space companies are also getting state support in China. All of the private launches so far, for example, have taken place at Jiuquan Elon Musk's SpaceX recently launched a rocket at NASA's Kennedy Space Center , while its main customer is the US Air Force . What's different in China is the constraints that come with having state backing. In June, China rolled out a set of rules that restrict what private companies can develop and manufacture. It's unclear if that may restrict private companies' capabilities in building larger rockets that could rival state rocket builders.
