House lawmakers have passed a bill that makes animal cruelty a federal felony.The so- called "PACT Act" specifically bans crushing, burning, drowning and impaling animals, among other things.It would also allow officials to go after suspected animal abusers who cross state lines.But according to its co-sponsor, U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., it would also close a big loophole.His office says the bill would specifically ban animal cruelty recorded on video.Previous laws have de-legalized creating and selling those videos, but not the acts of cruelty in them.Another co-sponsor of the bill, U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., says the legislation sends a clear message that our society does not accept animal cruelty.Violations of the bill could lead to prison for up to seven years. 796

Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty Monday to paying ,000 to a fake charity that facilitated cheating when her daughter took the SATs.When she appeared in federal court in Boston, prosecutors recommended a sentence of four months prison time for the "Desperate Housewives" TV star for her role in the college admissions scandal. They also suggested a ,000 fine and 12 months of supervised release for the charge, which is a felony.The charity was associated with Rick Singer, who has confessed to helping wealthy parents cheat on standardized tests for their children. Singer also bribed college coaches to falsely designate students as recruited athletes, smoothing their path to admission, a criminal complaint says.Huffman and Singer exchanged emails on how to provide her daughter with extra time to take the SAT exam, the complaint says, and arranged for the girl to take the test in a location controlled by an administrator whom Singer had bribed.Huffman's daughter received an SAT score of 1420 out of a possible 1600 -- about 400 points higher than her Preliminary SAT exam a year earlier.Huffman later discussed the scheme in a recorded phone call with Singer, the complaint says.Huffman agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud in April. She was among 13 parents who have said they would plead guilty in the scam. Seventeen other parents, including actress Lori Loughlin, submitted not guilty pleas. A federal judge will have the final say on the outcome for Huffman and the other defendants.Huffman arrived at court Monday afternoon accompanied by her brother."I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those actions," the actress said in a statement early April."I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community. I want to apologize to them and, especially, I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly."Huffman's husband, actor William H. Macy, is not charged in the case. 2292

Fear is infecting the stock market on concerns that the spread of the coronavirus will interfere with global trade. Over only six days, U.S. stocks have slid nail-bitingly close to a correction, defined as a 10% drop from the market top.It’s safe to say that only day traders like thinking about stock market corrections. But for the rest of us, trying to ignore market free falls is not a bad strategy, especially when it comes to a long-term goal like retirement.That’s because one of the best ways to make sure your retirement accounts survive economic turbulence is to fortify those accounts as well as you can and then go do something else, come what may.“Don’t get caught up in the motion of the market when investing for a long-term goal,” says Chris Remedios, a certified financial planner with Remedios Financial Planning in San Francisco. “If it makes you uncomfortable when things go down, don’t look.”Taking the steps below will help protect your 971

FOND DU LAC, Wisc. — A woman says she was fired from her serving job at a local restaurant after he refused to serve guests she says were making transphobic remarks.Brittany Spencer worked as a server at Fat Joe's Bar & Grill in Fond du Lac for a few months. On Saturday night, she says some of the guests she was serving began making disparaging comments about gender identity while a transgender woman was in the bar."They were asking me if I thought it was disgusting and wrong and why we would let someone like that into the establishment," Spencer said. "To which I answered, no, I do not agree with that and walked away."According to ownership at Fat Joe's, both groups are regulars at the bar.Spencer says she went to her manager to ask if someone else could serve the table because she didn't feel comfortable."[My manager] essentially told me to suck it up or go home," Spencer said. "To which I said, OK. I will leave."Tad Wallender, one of the owners at Fat Joe's, says that despite what was said, his restaurant has a duty to serve all customers. Ownership with Fat Joe's also said that if an employee refused to serve a transgender person, they would send that server home for the same reason."We don't discriminate against anyone," Wallender said. "If you want to walk in our front door and you want to have our food or drinks, watch TV, watch live music we provide, we're going to serve you as best we can and make you happy to your standards."Wallender says since Spencer refused to serve the table, they sent her home for the night. He says they planned on having a conversation with her the next day about what happened.But before their conversation, Spencer took to Facebook to sound off about what happened. Her post generated more than a dozen comments.The next day, Spencer was told she was fired. So, she encouraged her followers to leave negative reviews on Fat Joe's Facebook page."If you feel this was wrong, leave a review on their business's Facebook page," Spencer said. "I was in awe by how many people were disgusted by this behavior and left comments to the point they deleted their Facebook page to keep the reviews from spreading."Wallender says Fat Joe's deleted its Facebook page temporarily because the social media conversation had become more about politics than about the restaurant. "It's people from New York, Kentucky, Texas, California who admit they've never been here before," Wallender said.Wallender says he will only refuse service to a customer for legal reasons. Among them:: If a patron is over-served, if a patron is underage or if a patron causing a disturbance that requires the patron be escorted out."We are going to serve anyone in here as long as it's a safe environment," Wallender said. "I've been in the service industry for a good 15 years and I've heard hundreds of conversations I didn't agree with but it's a matter of fact of brushing it off and having to tough it out through your task. She took her moral beliefs and hey, everyone has their moral beliefs. I'm not going to hold that against anyone else. She refused to do a duty we hired her for. That's the bottom line in a nutshell. If you're not going to do your duty, you don't have to work that night. We'll just send you home."But Spencer says there are certain things she just can't let go."Ignoring hate and ignoring people talking like that is not being neutral," Spencer said. "That's allowing hate to happen in your establishment and I didn't think that was appropriate so I left. Turning a blind eye to hate is just as bad as saying the hateful things in my opinion."Spencer says she's filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).This story was originally published by Shaun Gallagher on 3766
