Prosecutors plan to seek a sentence of four to ten months' jail time for actress Felicity Huffman for her role in the college admissions scandal, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said.Huffman was among 13 parents who pleaded guilty last week to a charge of conspiracy to commit fraud. A total of 33 parents, including the "Desperate Housewives" star, have been accused of using their wealth to cheat on standardized tests for their children, and bribe college administrators and coaches who had clout when it came to admissions.Prosecutors' decision to seek four to ten months had nothing to do with Huffman's public apology, the source said.Ultimately, a federal judge will have the final say on Huffman's sentence.Huffman is due back in court on May 21 for a sentencing hearing.What is she accused of?Huffman has agreed to plead guilty to paying ,000 to a fake charity associated with Rick Singer to facilitate cheating for her daughter on the SATs. Singer ran a college prep business, and helped wealthy parents cheat on standardized tests for their children. He also bribed college coaches to designate children falsely as recruited athletes, smoothing their path to admission, a criminal complaint says.Huffman and Singer exchanged emails about how to get extra time on her daughter's SAT, the complaint says. They arranged for Huffman's daughter to take the SAT at a location controlled by an administrator bribed by Singer, the complaint says. The daughter got a score of 1420 out of a maximum 1600 on the SAT, about 400 points over her Preliminary SAT exam a year earlier. 1623

Tamera Mason deals with four competing autoimmune diseases everyday, and her service dog Irene helps her stay on top of things.“She is a diabetic and Addison trained dog,” Mason said.Addison’s Disease is a disorder in which the body doesn’t produce enough hormones. It can be life threatening.“She has kept me safe,” Mason said. “And instead of having an Addison crisis about every six weeks, now in a year and a half I’ve only have two ICU visits. Both of which she predicted and was able to alert me for.”Dogs can learn to “alert” their owners when they smell a certain trigger, like low blood sugar, if properly trained. Irene bumps Mason’s leg.“Irene is 20 to 30 minutes ahead of when the glucose monitor said I was in trouble,” Mason said.Given Mason’s condition and her full time job at an emergency department, it can make all the difference. “I have been very blessed with a dog who truly has superpowers,” Mason said.She got Irene from a nonprofit called Service Dogs of Virginia. They train dogs with different skills based on the future owner’s needs. “We don’t train the dogs to smell the odor, they do that because they’re dogs and they have a nose. What we do is train them to tell us when they smell that odor,” Peggy Law, the founder of the organization, said.Law calls them "toddlers with superpowers. She saw the need for service dogs in her community, saying the demand grew enormously. With that demand comes more businesses entering the industry, but not always for the right reasons. Service dog companies and trainers are not monitored or regulated by any government agency. Instead, a nonprofit coalition has formed in its place.“We are really regarded as the global leaders of the industry for setting standards,” Chris Diefenthaler, the executive director of Assistance Dogs International (ADI), said.ADI has come up with its own peer-review accreditation process to help combat fraud.“It is a very thorough, comprehensive evaluation,” Diefenthaler said.ADI had 273 member organizations worldwide in 2018. In that year, they helped place more than 7,700 service dogs, four percent were diabetic alert dogs. Irene was trained through an ADI-accredited facility.“We have a reasonable sense of when I go to bed at night, being able to wake up,” Mason said.Some aren’t so lucky.“We found out he had skin issues which ended up being from autoimmune diseases from being overbred,” Michelle Ninstant said. Ninstant was desperate to find ways to help her son who had just been diagnosed with diabetes, and heard how service dogs could help.“My son, Zack Johnson, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes back in 2012,” she explained. “He was very brittle, so no matter how much we gave him to carb him up and bring his sugars up he could drop 20, 30 seconds after that.”She found a company selling service dogs, with a price tag of ,000. After waiting nine months, she received Alan, a 13-week-old service dog who was supposed to come with basic training. Within days, Alan was shoeing troubling symptoms, and still had not learned the basics like “sit” or “stay”.“While we’re trying to learn about diabetes in general and then add a service dog onto it, add my sons health issues onto it,” the mother explained. “He’s part of your family so you just don’t want to send him back.”She said in the first year alone, vet bills totaled close to ,000 as they figured out what was causing Alan’s skin and immunity problems.Ninstant ended up training Alan herself with some help, and on multiple occasions Alan helped save Zack.But six years later, you can still see Alan struggle with skin problems and itching.“Alan’s part of our family,” Michelle said.Service Dogs of Virginia keeps up with their clients every year. “We want to make sure they’re doing all the things that they need to to make sure the dog is working well,” Law said.While Law said a service dog isn’t the right solution for everyone, there are ways to make sure you are buying from a trustworthy organization. “I think you have to ask a lot of questions,” she said. 4059

TAMPA, Fla. — The family of Carla Stefaniak is suing Airbnb and the resort where she stayed, Villa Le Mas, after her body was found last month in Costa Rica. A security guard who worked at the resort has been arrested for her murder. Her body was discovered half-naked wrapped in plastic bags. "He wasn't legally authorized to work. Yet, nevertheless, he was given his own apartment there on the grounds, an apartment that was coincidentally directly next to Carla's rented villa," said attorney Jeffrey "Jack" Gordon, who filed the lawsuit.The lawsuit alleges both companies could have done more to protect its guests.The lawsuit states Airbnb and Villa Le Mas (also known as Villa Buena Vista) failed to perform any kind of background check on the security guard. According to court records, Airbnb posted complimentary and positive reviews of the resort property and its hosts. But there are multiple reports of guests who had bad experiences since 2013. "A large organization with significant resources that's making billions of dollars can't make believe it's an ostrich and put its head in the sand and say I don't see any bad things," Gordon said.The lawsuit states the U.S. Department of State has, for a number of years prior to 2018, issued opinions through its Bureau of Consular Affairs that in Costa Rica, "Violent crime, such as armed robbery and assault, is common.""It's a joint responsibility. Certainly, we have responsibility to take care of ourselves. We can't trust blindly in commercial enterprises," added Gordon. WFTS reached out to Villa Le Mas, but has not received a comment regarding the lawsuit.A spokesperson for Airbnb sent the following statement: 1691

But there is also real concern about the effectiveness of the attack.Tribune Publishing said "malware" was detected on its servers Friday. The Union-Tribune, 533

ST. LOUIS, Missouri — Planned Parenthood earlier this week sued the state of Missouri for threatening to pull its license to operate and conduct abortion procedures. If the clinic in St. Louis closes, Missouri would become the first state in the nation without an abortion clinic.“This is not a drill. This is not a warning,” said Dr. Leana Wen, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in a news release. “This is a real public health crisis. This week, Missouri would be the first state in the country to go dark — without a health center that provides safe, legal abortion care.”Planned Parenthood said the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is refusing to renew the clinic’s license, claiming it is non-compliant.Outside of the clinic Tuesday, pro-life supporters distributed information, much like any other day. But inside the clinic, Planned Parenthood officials were gearing up for another legal fight. "Always moving the goalpost on us, always reinterpreting certain regulations,” said Dr. Colleen McNicholas with Planned Parenthood. McNicholas is the only doctor in Missouri who performs abortion procedures. “One in four women will have an abortion in their life. That is a lot of people,” McNicholas said. “It is an incredibly common and safe procedure and one that in just a few minutes allows me to help people get to a better place.” On Friday, Republican Gov. Mike Parson 1437
