Paterson Squatter Admits Torching Multi-Family Home In Purported Suicide Try
A Paterson squatter who set fire to a multi-family home after authorities said he deliberately stabbed himself has pleaded guilty to aggravated arson. Ertugrul Abaci, 58, bled heavily as he staggered across Sussex Street on June 9, 2019, authorities said at the time. He’d just ignited a fire in and outside the attic apartment where he’d lived nearly 23 years – and hadn’t paid rent on for the past five, they said.

19: With Concert Experiments Succeeding, Big Shows Could Return This Fall, Fauci Says
Successes with experimental concerts in Spain and Germany have convinced Dr. Anthony Fauci that big shows could return to the U.S. this fall -- provided Americans reach an effective level of herd immunity. “I think you can start getting back to almost full capacity of seating,” the nation's top infectious disease expert said during a virtual live event over the weekend. “What the performing arts needs to do is to do a little bit more of what the Germans are doing,” Fauci noted. A controlled experiment in Germany featuring a show by pop singer Tim Bendzko safely accommodated about 1,400 at…

Justice Department Accuses Walmart Of Fueling Opioid Crisis, Seeks Billions In Penalties
The Trump Administration sued Walmart on Tuesday for producing what it alleges is an illegal flow of pain killers that has fueled America’s opioid crisis.

The centers now says that most healthy people should be tested if they develop symptoms following an exposure – among them, fever, cough or shortness of breath -- but not necessarily if they don't. Some experts agree with the new guidelines, although …
