It's been five years since Eric Garner's death triggered protests across the country, after a cellphone video of his last moments in police custody went viral.Now local and federal authorities are left with the looming question of what, if anything, should be done with NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who appeared, in the video, to have Garner in a chokehold shortly before he died. Pantaleo denies that he used a chokehold.The Department of Justice has not officially made a decision on whether Pantaleo will be charged with a federal crime, and the deadline to make that call is Wednesday -- the five-year anniversary of Garner's death.US attorneys with the Eastern District of New York have called a news conference Tuesday regarding the Garner case.Federal investigators have been examining the circumstances of Garner's death since 2014, after a grand jury in New York declined to indict the Staten Island officer.Meanwhile, the NYPD had brought departmental charges against Pantaleo. If found guilty of using the chokehold and restricting Garner's breathing, he could face discipline ranging from loss of vacation days to the loss of his job.And while Pantaleo's career, and possibly freedom, hang in the balance, a mother's grief remains, with each emotional scab reopened at every departmental hearing, anniversary and rally."Some days are my good days. Some days are my dark days," said Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner who became an activist soon after her son's death and has remained a fixture at police reform rallies. "Some days I can hardly move around because I'm in deep thought."Carr spent Monday afternoon looking through photos from Garner on his wedding day. It's how she likes to remember him."Sometimes it's unbearable," Carr said. "I feel like it's my duty and my obligation. I do this for my son."Garner died on July 17, 2014, after police attempted to arrest the 43-year-old father of six, who was allegedly selling loose cigarettes illegally on Staten Island, a crime he had been arrested for previously.Garner's friend, Ramsey Orta, recorded the confrontation on his cellphone as it quickly escalated.In the video, Pantaleo can be seen wrapping one arm around Garner's shoulder and the other around his neck before jerking him back and pulling him to the ground.As Pantaleo forces Garner's head into the sidewalk, Garner can be heard saying "I can't breathe. I can't breathe."The phrase became the rallying cry of the Black Lives Matter movement. Marchers yelled the phrase as they took to the streets in New York in protest of Garner's death.Five years later, whether or not Pantaleo applied a chokehold remains the crux of the case. Activists and lawyers for the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the city agency charged with overseeing the NYPD, call it an illegal chokehold, which is banned by the department. But union officials and lawyers for Daniel Pantaleo call it a "seatbelt hold" a take down maneuver that is taught to rookies while at the academy.They blame Garner's death on his poor health. "Mr. Garner died from being morbidly obese" and having other health issues, Pantaleo's attorney, Stuart London, said earlier this year. "He was a ticking time bomb and set these facts in motion by resisting arrest."London says his client is different from other officers he's represented in his almost 22 years defending cops. The other officers were aggressive, young police officers, he said."(Pantaleo) has been characterized as an overly aggressive officer with a history of this sort of behavior, and nothing can be further from the truth," London said. "This was a regular patrolman doing regular police work."London says key facts of the case have been lost in the politics: that Pantaleo was ordered to arrest Eric Garner, for example. London also claims that the physical injuries that Garner sustained do not show evidence of a chokehold -- though the CCRB says they do.London has defended Pantaleo during his disciplinary proceeding, which has been prosecuted by the CCRB. Rosemarie Maldonado, the department's deputy commissioner for trials, oversaw the proceeding. It included testimony from the city medical examiner, who ruled the death a homicide; Pantaleo's former instructor at the police academy, who said he did not teach the officer the seatbelt maneuver; and a medical examiner from St. Louis, who reviewed the autopsy and said the alleged chokehold was part of a chain of events that killed the father of six.Now that the hearing is over, if Pantaleo is found guilty of using a banned chokehold, Maldonado can recommend he be terminated. Commissioner James O'Neill, who has final say in the matter, then would determine whether Pantaleo could keep his job.Meanwhile, Garner's mother said that the loss of Pantaleo's job wouldn't fix anything, but it would at least be something. Carr did not want to acknowledge the possibility that the time limit to federally charge Pantaleo with a crime could expire without any charges."It doesn't do a lot. It's just that we must have some type of accountability. Some type of responsibility. Where the police officers are held accountable and pay for their misconduct," she said. "If we just sit aside on the sidelines and let it go, it's going to keep on happening." 5277

It will take 10 to 16 weeks to close the 154 stores.The loss of 154 locations will reduce the company¡¯s footprint down from 850 stores nationwide. The 154 locations are spread over 38 states. ¡°While closing stores is always an extremely difficult decision, our store optimization strategy is vital to ensuring we emerge from both Chapter 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic as a stronger retailer with greater financial flexibility to allow us to continue serving our loyal customers for decades to come,¡± said Jill Soltau, chief executive officer of JCPenney. ¡°I am incredibly grateful to our talented associates for their ongoing dedication and their passion for meeting and exceeding our customers¡¯ expectations during this difficult and uncertain time.

In a time where people are striving for bigger and better, sometimes what's better, isn't always big. WeeCasa Tiny House Resort in Lyons, Colorado has attracted visitors from all over the nation and even the world since 2014. "This is just the latest manifestation of that kind of alternative lower-cost housing," says Kenyon Waugh, with WeeCasa. "And I think that's really why [we're] intrigued with tiny houses."Waugh says the tiny house movement was most likely inspired by van life, people transforming their vans into a small campers, complete with a kitchen and bed. Those interested in tiny homes are looking to scale down and have more flexibility. "What we're able to offer people is the concept: could I live with less?" Waugh says.According to the website 779

In schools across America, students are practicing what to do in case there¡¯s ever a school shooting.Active shooter drills are becoming a regular part of the school year in some places. In fact, a growing number of states now require them.On one hand, the drills can help make sure students and teachers know how to respond if there¡¯s ever a school shooting. Students can learn where to go to stay safe or the safest evacuation routes. Drills can also help prevent someone from freezing in a moment of crisis.On the other hand, some advocates say active shooter drills can be scary and cause trauma that leads to issues, either immediately or in the future.Some research presents evidence these drills can be especially tough for people with anxiety or developmental disorders. What some researchers say is missing is studies that say these drills help save lives. Those researchers say there isn¡¯t enough school shooting data to get reliable results.A Secret Service researcher says the approach is wrong. She was lead author on a recent report that emphasized threat assessment and prevention.The report says bullying and ostracism are two of the top sources of student distress. The report also suggested school take an ¡°all in¡± approach to addressing those issues and others. That means involving everyone from teachers to administrators to mental health professionals. And while holding drills can provide peace of mind, the Secret Service says social and emotional interventions are most effective in the long term. 1533

It is not news that Bugatti makes very expensive automobiles. A Bugatti Chiron, the brand's basic model, costs about million. Bugatti's latest creation, though, sets a new bar in price and exclusivity. Bugatti's La Voiture Noire cost €16.7 million, or almost million, including taxes. Before taxes, the car cost .5 million.According to Bugatti, La Voiture Noire is the most expensive new car ever sold and only one will be made. Bugatti did not reveal the identity of the buyer. It is someone with an enormous attachment to the Bugatti brand, the automaker said. It's also clearly someone with immense financial resources.Bugatti's new La Voiture Noire is designed to recall the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic of the 1930s. Only four of those cars were made and, today, they're among the most valuable cars in the world. They can be worth more than million, according to Hagerty Insurance, a company that tracks collector car values. One of those cars became known as "La Voiture Noire" which means simply, the black car. Only three are known to survive. The fourth seems to have disappeared shortly before the German invasion of France during World War II. Its whereabouts remain unknown.The Type 57 SC Atlantic was designed by Jean Bugatti, son of Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti, at a time when the bodies for most high-end cars were created by separate body makers rather than by the automobile companies themselves. 1443
