Fall is the time of year parents, teens and college students are buying books for their school's required reading.And if the teacher says you need a classic, it's tempting to buy the version on Amazon, for instance if you need a copy of George Orwell's "1984," or maybe "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."But buyer beware.

Former Pro Bowl running back Clinton Portis and other retired NFL players have been charged by a federal grand jury with defrauding the NFL's retiree health care benefits plan for more than million, according to two indictments unsealed Thursday."Ten former NFL players allegedly committed a brazen, multi-million dollar fraud on a health care plan meant to help their former teammates and other retired players pay legitimate, out-of-pocket medical expenses," Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski said in a statement.The former NFL players allegedly submitted fraudulent health care claims seeking to be reimbursed for expensive medical equipment that was never purchased, typically about ,000 to ,000 per claim, court records show.The equipment included hyperbaric oxygen chambers, ultrasound machines designed for a doctor's office to conduct women's health examinations, and electromagnetic therapy devices made for horses, prosecutors said.In addition, some defendants personally profited by receiving reimbursements from the plan or by recruiting other retired players to participate in the scheme in exchange for kickbacks and bribes, the indictments say. The claims relied on fabricated invoices, prescriptions and letters of medical necessity, prosecutors said.The scheme, which lasted from June 2017 to December 2018, led to over .9 million in false and fraudulent claims, of which the plan paid out more than .4 million, prosecutors said in a news release.CNN is reaching out to the NFL and the named players for comment. The NFL and the NFL Players' Association were aware of the charges before Thursday's news conference, Benczkowski said.Cigna alerted feds to potential fraud, prosecutor saysHealth insurance company Cigna flagged anomalies in the types of claims being filed and referred the fraud to federal investigators, Benczkowski said Thursday during a news conference.Four former players were arrested and six agreed to turn themselves in, he said.The defendants include:Portis, the former Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos running back;Robert McCune, a former linebacker with the Redskins;John Eubanks, a former cornerback with the Redskins;Tamarick Vanover, a former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver;Ceandris "C.C." Brown, a former Houston Texans safety;James Butler, a former New York Giants and St. Louis Rams safety;Fredrick Bennett, a former Houston Texans defensive back;Etric Pruitt, a former defensive back for the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks;Carlos Rogers, a former Redskins and San Francisco 49ers cornerback;and Correll Buckhalter, a former Philadelphia Eagles running back.In addition, the government plans to file criminal informations charging Joseph Horn, the former New Orleans Saints wide receiver, and Donald "Reche" Caldwell, the former San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots wide receiver, according to the news release.More than 20 FBI field offices across the country participated in the investigation, from Miami to New Jersey to Los Angeles, prosecutors said.The health care benefits plan was established as part of the 2006 collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players' Association. 3205

Greetings from the Salton Sea – California’s largest lake. In its heyday, this body of water was called the Southern California Riviera, attracting people from across the country.Decades later, this desert oasis is now dying. “It smells like death you know,” said one local man. “You can tell something died.”The Salton Sea is stinking and shrinking and what’s left is a being called a major health hazard.“The Salton Sea has gone to hell if you ask me,” another man said. “We used to go fishing there before and you can’t go fishing there anymore because there’s nothing to fish for because it’s polluted.”The sea is polluted with sewage, heavy metals and agricultural run off.With no natural run off and not much rain coming in, the Salton Sea has been decaying for decades. Experts say now the conditions are getting worse and the problems go well past county lines. “All of that dust on windy days gets aerosolized and people can inhale it for hundreds of miles actually,” said Sam J. Weiss, MD of Eisenhower Health in Palm Desert, Ca. Weiss says Imperial County’s air quality is some of the worst in the state.And as the Salton Sea dries up, more dangerous dust goes into the air and ultimately gets into people’s lungs. “If it becomes drier and drier and saltier and saltier we’ll see more and more problems unless there’s remediation of the sea,” Weiss said. In an attempt to slow down this problem, the Imperial Irrigation District dug trenches to suppress the dust.“IID models all of our project areas to control the most dust as possible,” said Jessica Humes of the Imperial Irrigation District. Humes says the Salton Sea is twice as salty as the Pacific Ocean and that ratio is impacting wildlife. “It is reducing reproduction of fish, fish are eaten by birds, and if there’s no fish, that causes a huge issue for them,” she said.Humes went on to say that the Salton Sea has more than 20,000 acres of dusty ground exposed -- a number she expects to increase overtime. “This boat dock had water in it over 10 years ago,” she said. “Today completely dry and the Salton Sea is hundreds of yards away.”Conditions are so bad that local leaders recently made an emergency declaration over air quality. “I’m worried about the impacts that are unknown and the sea receding so fast that you can’t plan for it,” SAID Ryan Kelley, chairman of the Imperial County Board of SupervisorsKelley says this is the latest bid to save the Salton Sea. And if the state recognizes this request – it puts rehabilitation efforts on a fast track to happen now.“If they were to listen to what our concerns are and to take up our emergency they could get back to neutral on what they promised to do under the management program,” he said. California Governor Gavin Newsom's office sent us a statement saying, ” The Salton Sea is an urgent issue, and we are intensely focused on solutions. The state is reviewing the Imperial County Board of Supervisors’ action, but we are not waiting to act on projects that can help. Several efforts are already underway to address Salton Sea-related air quality issues, including dust suppression and collaboration with local, state and federal agencies.”Meanwhile, those that live here recognize the problems are at their doorstep“The sea all winter long was full of pelicans,” said Mary Jane Mulrooney, who has been living near the Salton Sea for more than 30 years. “Now you don’t see any pelicans.” Mulrooney says she’s tired of watching this lake waste away.“It’s sad that nobody cares enough to save it,” she said. Now she and others hope this latest effort reignites a sense of urgency and ultimately action. 3648

Hurricane Dorian's almost 185-mph sustained winds are bringing "catastrophic conditions" to the Abaco Islands, the National Hurricane Center said, and forecasters predict the Category 5 storm will remain over the northern Bahamas into Monday.The storm made landfall on the southern end of Elbow Cay, which runs along the east coast of Great Abaco, early Sunday afternoon. It was the first time a Category 5 storm has hit the island chain since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.With gusts over 220 mph, Dorian has become "the strongest hurricane in modern records for the northwestern Bahamas," the center said.The Abaco Islands have already suffered major damage, according to the Hope Town Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, with multiple reports of destroyed houses and roofs blown off."This is a life-threatening situation," the National Hurricane Center said Sunday, urging Abacos residents to stay sheltered and warning them, "Do not venture out into the eye if it passes over your location."The storm is growing, meteorologists said, with hurricane-force winds now extending 45 miles from its eye. Videos from residents on Great Abaco showed wind bending trees and heavy rain washing out the horizon as thigh-high water flooded an apartment complex.Once the storm finishes deluging the Bahamas it is expected to head toward Florida, where mandatory evacuations have already begun. But exactly where (or if) it will hit the US East Coast remains unclear.As of 2 p.m. ET, the storm was about 185 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida.Dorian is moving to the west at 7 mph and is expected to strike Grand Bahama, the northernmost island in the archipelago, late Sunday or early Monday, forecasters said. By Sunday evening, it's expected to slow down to 3 or 4 mph, a walking pace, forecasters say.The northwestern Bahamas are under a hurricane warning, which means "preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion," the hurricane center said. Conditions are expected to grow only worse as Dorian stalls over the Bahamas, forecasters say. Some models forecast that it could stay for 24 hours or longer.Key developments? As of 2 p.m. ET Sunday a hurricane warning was in effect for the northwestern Bahamas, except for Andros Island, which is under a hurricane watch.? Life-threatening storm surges of 18 to 23 feet could crash into the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama, the hurricane center said.? The northwestern Bahamas also could get 12 to 30 inches of rain, the hurricane center said.? Dorian is expected to move across the Bahamas slowly, creating life-threatening conditions as "rain, winds and storm surge (keep) piling up," hurricane center Director Ken Graham said Saturday.? Dorian's forecast track has shifted east since Friday, making a landfall in Florida less likely but not out of the question.Where will Dorian go next?Hurricane Dorian had been threatening to strike the US mainland, but there is still a lot of uncertainty on when and where it will make landfall.The storm was projected to reach Florida by Labor Day weekend, but current forecasts have it turning north Monday evening. The storm is predicted to ride along the Florida, Georgia and Carolina coasts, according to meteorologists.Many models show the storm staying just off Florida's coast Tuesday and then skirting the coasts of Georgia and North and South Carolina.Still, a major hurricane hovering just off the coast could cause serious damage.Mandatory evacuations have already been ordered for residents living in mobile homes or in low-lying areas of Palm Beach, Martin, Brevard and St. Lucie counties, officials said.The Palm Beach and Martin county evacuations began at 1 p.m. Sunday, and the Brevard and St. Lucie county evacuations are set to start Monday morning.St. Lucie County authorities said they have already received a report of an attempted burglary at a vacated home, and Sheriff Ken Mascara warned would-be looters, "We are watching for this kind of activity."Approximately 148,500 residents in 4030
