PORTLAND, Ore. -- Carrying approximately a million books within its walls, Powell’s is a place where readers can get lost for hours both in the store, and in the pages of words thoughtfully arranged by thousands of authors. Emily Powell is a third-generation owner of the iconic independent bookstore.“I think the reason we’re so big and so noteworthy 50 years into our history is really the mix of new and used inventory on the shelf together," Powell said. "Very few folks do that in any industry. Certainly, it was unusual in the book industry at the time, and it’s still somewhat unusual still to this day.”Book lovers travel from all over to explore the so-called "City of Books," thrifting for old books with new ideas.“This is one of my favorite books,” Powell said.It could be a rare book, a timely book, or a book you’ve never heard of before.“It really resonates whether you’re a book lover or just someone with an interest in anything. You just have to find your corner of the store and dive deep into that section.”Powell’s is the world’s largest independent bookstore. The owners recently decided to pull their books from Amazon’s virtual shelves. Some say the world’s largest online marketplace has become a threat to local bookstore culture.“They extract a commission but they also ask for certain customer-service treatment and ways of behaving that are not how we would ordinarily run our business,” Powell said.Powell says business with Amazon became more and more costly, and with the pandemic, she says they needed to find a way forward that is sustainable for Powell’s and the community.“We need to be a part of an ecosystem that’s healthy and vital, and so we have to be part of building that ecosystem and hence the choice to cut off our Amazon business,” Powell said.Powell’s isn’t the only independent retailer struggling to compete with a company offering anything and everything at a cheap price with quick and free shipping. Powell’s has been turning to its e-commerce site during the pandemic as online sales have become essential, but not every local bookstore can afford to have its own book-sale website.“Bookshop is an online bookstore that supports local mom-and-pop, brick-and-mortar independent bookstores,” Bookshop founder Andy Hunter said.Andy Hunter started Bookshop in January. It’s a free way for bookstores to create an online shop to sell to its customers.“They can just go to our website, scroll down to the footer, there will be a ‘become an affiliate’ link and then they can onboard and they can create a shop in under an hour," Hunter said. "Really maybe half an hour. It’s as easy as setting up a Facebook page.”We reached out to Amazon for comment on this book-selling trend, but have yet to hear back. Hunter says Bookshop has already captured nearly 2% of Amazon’s market share for books. He’s hoping that percentage will continue to rise.“If we lose independent bookstores, the importance of books in our culture will be diminished,” Hunter said.Powell says spending money at a local bookstore instead of Amazon keeps the dollars in the community. She says choosing to stop sales through Amazon was a difficult decision, but a necessary one."We’ve contemplated it for years because we know that staying with Amazon was not the best choice for our business, but it’s very hard to give up sales that you really need to keep surviving one way or another,” Powell said.Her hope for Powell’s Books is that they can connect people to the value of reading while continuing to evolve with the changes of the future.“We’re so accustomed in our modern age to the idea that the computer is the best way to find anything, but in fact, it’s very difficult to replicate the in-person experience of a bookstore,” Powell said.She says certain books will always stay relevant. 3820

PORT RICHEY, Florida — A toy that’s already on Christmas wish lists led to an x-rated surprise for a Florida family. "It’s extremely popular, you almost can’t find them on the shelves,” Shari Leveille said. Inside the colorful Poopsie Slime Surprise case is a poopsie keychain, container and ingredients to make sparkly slime. "My daughter, my sons, they all play with these toys,” John Corbett said. After Leveille and Corbett bought one from Target last week, they found a detail meant for adults only — a phone number printed on the milk carton that came with the collectible Bessi Cowpie. The number connects you straight to a sex line. “Want me to send you a sexy pic of me?” the message says in part. WFTS television station blurred the number because of its inappropriate nature.“It’s very disturbing,” Corbett said.They’re even more concerned about kids dialing it. We dialed the number too and got the same result."Maybe they call, maybe they wouldn’t but if they did all they have to do is press a couple buttons and it sent directly to their phone,” said Leveille.We reached out to the toy maker, MGA Entertainment. It’s the same company that makes LOL surprise dolls. Officials there tell us they’re working to remove the number from the product:  1332

President Donald Trump on Wednesday fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions."At your request I am submitting my resignation," Sessions wrote in a letter to White House chief of staff John Kelly.Matthew Whitaker will take over as acting attorney general, the President said.Whitaker is expected to take charge of the the Russia investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein."We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well ...We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well! A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date," Trump tweeted.The move is an abrupt end to what had been a tumultuous tenure for Sessions, originally one of Trump's earliest and most loyal surrogates as an Alabama Republican senator. He was a key figure in implementing Trump's vision for America and significantly rolled back Obama-era policies on immigration, police reform and civil rights.Sessions was an enforcer of much of the Trump administration's hardline approach on immigration and regularly praised the President's tough words on crime. But even as he continued to carry out the Trump agenda, his relationship with the President remained strained and fraught for months due to the ongoing Mueller investigation.Sessions received the request to resign from Kelly, not the President, on Wednesday morning, an administration official said. It is not clear whether Mueller was told ahead of time.  1656

PONTIAC, Mich. (WXYZ) — An Oakland County, Michigan, judge ruled Monday to keep a high school sophomore in detention after violating probation by failing to complete online school work. The Oakland County Children’s Village TAG program provides several forms of therapy, counseling and educational support, but defense attorneys argue it is not an appropriate legal action.Judge Mary Ellen Brennan says she had to consider the actions that placed Grace on probation to begin with. Last fall, arguments between the teen and her mother turned violent. The judge says the mother was the victim and the daughter the aggressor.“How many times does she get to jump her mom before she’s a threat? How many times?” Judge Brennan said.“That is not the question in front of the court,” Defense Attorney Saima Khalil responded.“That’s the question I’m asking you. How many times?” said Judge Brennan.Fifteen-year-old Grace's story has gained national attention. She was placed in juvenile detention in June after violating probation by failing to complete online school assignments in May. The judge says the teen's mother repeatedly called a case worker for help.During court proceedings Monday, the defense pointed out that a lot of students struggled with virtual classwork, but the judge says Grace's mom was the one who made repeated calls to the case worker saying her daughter refused to get out of bed, wouldn't do her school work and needed help.Khalil and fellow defense attorney Jon Beirnet went head-to-head with Judge Brennan, who continued to bring up the original violation for Grace, which included physical altercations with her mother last fall."The probation violation had nothing to do with a violent act. There is no tampering of a GPS tether," a defense lawyer stated.That probation violation put the high school sophomore in juvenile detention during a pandemic.Grace attends Birmingham Groves High School, where she receives support for ADHD. Grace's school closed in March like everything else when Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a stay-home order.When classwork was made available online, Grace's attorney says it wasn't required. There was no academic or classroom consequence. Judge Brennan said Grace's mother had repeatedly called the case worker for help.Outside the courtroom, demonstrators demanded Grace's release."We must dismantle the school to prison pipeline," said Tylene Henry with Michigan Liberation Action Fund.The action fund is asking for support, not punishment.In the courtroom, Grace spoke before the judge."Each day I try to be a better person than I was the last," the teen said. "And I’ve been doing that since even before I was in this situation. And I’m getting behind in my actual schooling while here. The schooling here is beneath my level of education."Judge Brennan insisted Grace should continue in the detention program, which offers therapy while her mother takes parenting classes."The goal is you and mom safe healthy and happy in the home, we disagree about what that looks like," The judge said. "To get to that goal... you think you’re ready, I think you’re not. I think you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be; you're blooming there."There was another motion filed by the defense attorneys. They are expecting a written decision at some point. Grace's next court hearing is in September.This article was written by Jennifer Ann Wilson for WXYZ. 3411

President Donald Trump said Monday that he believes the Texas church shooting was caused by a "mental health problem," not an issue with gun laws in the United States."Mental health is your problem here," Trump said, noting that "based on preliminary reports" the shooter was "a very deranged individual." 313
