Historic Georgia statue vandalized

Concerns emerge about

Soyuz failure forces launch abort

The police in Savannah, Georgia are asking for information regarding what they are classifying as vandalism. A statue of American Revolution era general Nathanael Greene was found with its eyes covered with a pair of googly eyes.

The police took the stance that harming a public monument is a serious offense, despite public amusement and the department’s own admission no harm was done to the statue. The police have started reviewing security footage and expressed an intent to pursue trespassing charges.

voter suppression

A Russian rocket delivering a crew to the International Space Station was forced to abort approximately two minutes after launch on Oct. 11. The Soyuz-FG rocket reported a failure shortly after the first stage of separation, forcing the use of the Launch Escape System in mid flight for the first time in Soyuz’s 139 mission history.

The crew, Russian Cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin and American Astronaut Nick Hague, landed safely about 250 miles northeast of the Baikonur Cosmodrome where they launched. The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, has grounded crewed flights for the time being.

Accusations of attempted voter suppression in several states were made in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 6 midterm elections. In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp has been accused of attempting to limit minority turnout after it was found that amoung the 53,000 voter registration holds, 70 percent involved African American voters, despite them comprising only 31 percent of the state’s population. In North Dakota, a recent law requiring voter IDs to use conventional street addresses has Native American voters, many of whom use post office boxes for formal addresses, scrambling to comply amid accusation of targeted legislation.

Paul Allen dies at age 65 Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in Seattle on Oct. 15.

Allen, 65, was a beloved brother, uncle, and friend who supported many different organizations and strove to always improve. Allen was never married and had no children. He is best known for being one of Microsoft’s co-founders, his philanthropic contributions in the Seattle community and his ownership of the Seahawks. His work at Microsoft helped it to become one of the most successful corporations in the world, and shaped the face of modern technology.

Ex-Baylor University student takes plea

A fellow Baylor University student filed sexual assault charges against Jacob Walter Anderson, who she claims assaulted her at a frat party in February 2016. Anderson’s plea deal will see him serve no jail time, although he is required to pay a $400 fine and to attend mandatory counselling sessions. Anderson’s case is a fallout from a 2016 scandal when the Baylor football team was at the center of campus-wide sexual assault allegations at the Christian school. Head coach Art Briles was fired for covering up alleged rapes against high profile players, such as Shawn Oakman, Tevin Elliott and Sam Ukwuachu.
