Darryl GeorgeDarryl George, an 18-year-old Black student at Barbers Hill High School east of Houston, has been repeatedly suspended for his dreadlocks. Lingering questions over whether the CROWN Act pertains to the district’s hair-length policy were at center of Thursday’s trial.

A Houston-area judge on Thursday determined that Barbers Hill ISD has not violated Texas' CROWN Act after the district repeatedly suspended a Black student for the length of his dreadlocks.

Darryl George, an 18-year-old Black student at Barbers Hill High School east of Houston, has been repeatedly suspended for his dreadlocks. George's family and legal team say his hair is protected under the CROWN Act, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination against students and employers, while the school district claims George has been in violation of the district's grooming policy due to the length of his hair, not the style.

Wendy Williams Diagnosed With Frontotemporal Dementia And Aphasia

Wendy Williams

Former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), her team confirmed in a press release on Thursday.

FTD is caused by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain’s frontal lobes, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Aphasia is a disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate. Bruce Willis revealed last year that he was also diagnosed with aphasia.

The press release said that “after undergoing a battery of medical tests,” Williams, 59, was diagnosed last year.

“Over the past few years, questions have been raised at times about Wendy’s ability to process information and many have speculated about Wendy’s condition, particularly when she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions,” the release said.

AT&T outage just a preview of what can happen when cell service goes out: How to prepare

AT&T service outage

A widespread telecommunication outage that affected tens of thousands of customers in the United States on Thursday raised a question for many – What should I do when I can't use my cell phone?

While cell service in the U.S. is typically fairly dependable and Thursday's issues were limited in scope, there's a long list of potential emergency situations when cell phones could become unreliable, according to Alyssa Provencio, professor at the University of Central Oklahoma who oversees the disaster management certificate program.

Communication issues are the norm in a disaster, not an anomaly, Provencio said. Some scenarios like snow storms, strong wind, torrential rain, fire, and tornadoes may affect a small number of people. Others, like major earthquakes, solar flares or cyberattacks, have the potential to disrupt communications for millions of people for an extended period of time.

Ex-FBI official sentenced to over two years for hiding payment from Albanian businessman

Charles McGonical sentenced A former top FBI counterintelligence official was sentenced on Friday to 28 months in prison for concealing at least $225,000 he took from an Albanian businessperson with ties to the Albanian government.

Charles McGonigal oversaw counterintelligence and national security operations at the time he hid his relationship with the businessperson from the FBI. McGonigal traveled with the businessperson and met with Albanian officials for their own business interests.

“For the rest of my life, I will be fighting to regain that trust and become a better person,” he told U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly before he was sentenced.

Kollar-Kotelly said his remorse appeared genuine, but “unfortunately, it doesn’t repair the damage.” The former high-ranking FBI official looked as if he “lost his moral compass” at the end of his career, she commented.
