Report via Houston Chronicle - In a summer of stunners that had rocked the NBA, the Rockets on Thursday pulled off what could be the largest of them all, trading for 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook to reunite him in a dramatically transformed backcourt with James Harden, two individuals with knowledge of the deal said.

The Rockets will send Chris Paul to the Oklahoma City Thunder along with two first-round picks and the right to swap picks in two additional drafts. ESPN initially reported the trade.

Westbrook and Harden had strongly favored the move and a chance to play in a backcourt together, as they did for Harden's first three seasons together, a person with knowledge of their thinking had said.

Westbrook had met with the Thunder front office this week to say he would welcome a trade following the Paul George departure to the Clippers, but an individual with knowledge of the talks said he had initially broached the subject after the OKC season ended with a first-round loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Paul will return to Oklahoma City, where he played after Hurricane Katrina forced the New Orleans Hornets to play during Paul's first two NBA seasons.

Report via TMZ -- R. Kelly has been arrested on federal sex charges ... TMZ has confirmed.

Kelly was arrested Thursday in Chicago on charges contained in a 13-count indictment returned in the Northern District of Illinois. Joseph Fitzpatrick, spokesperson for The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District, says the indictment includes charges of child porn and obstruction of justice.

R. Kelly was in court in Chicago in June where he pled not guilty to 11 felonies related to sexual assault and various abuse in Illinois. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office charged him with 5 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, 4 counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and 2 counts of criminal sexual assault.

In those legal docs, Kelly is accused of forcing contact between his penis and the alleged victim's mouth and committing an act of sexual penetration on a victim listed only as "J.P." The alleged incident occurred in January 2010, when the victim was under the age of 18.

Rapping Math Professor Chad Rico Assigns Next Four Lessons with New Single Releases from "12 Weeks of Summer"

12353156883?profile=original


Richmond, CA - As a devoted college math professor, recording artist Chad Rico knows that if he doesn't keep his students engaged, they will miss the lesson he is there to teach them. So Chad has been dropping his special form of musical arithmetic all summer and has just announced four new single homework assignments to keep his fans committed to the groove. With plans to teach all summer long, his "12 Weeks of Summer" EP project on Gold & Gems Records has added up to hot summertime fun with the release of a new single every week. The curriculum for the next four weeks includes "How You Make It" on July 12; "Barbados" on July 19; "All the Love" on July 26 and "International Gentleman" on August 2.

As an entrepreneur, financial analyst, clothing manufacturer/designer, filmmaker and world traveler, Chad Rico is a proven master mathematician with winning calculations for success. He dropped his first EP "Myth" last year with the single and wildly popular video, "New Level." Both titles clearly announced his intentions and positioned him at the head of the class.

A Belizean American, Chad's legend began at birth when he was born in Los Angeles, in the same hospital and at the same time as Grammy Award-winning artist Kendrick Lamar. Currently repping for the Bay Area, Chad's family relocated to Northern California where he now resides. The esteemed University of California Berkeley alumni attended the university on an academic scholarship at the age of 16! With a B.A. in African American Studies and Applied Math, and a master's in mathematics from San Francisco State University, Chad also spent eight months in London in a Regents College Graduate Business Program.

The intentional student turned professor has taught math at Contra Costa College, City College San Francisco, Berkeley City College and College of Alameda. The 32-year old has traveled to over 35 countries. In addition to his music company Gold & Gems, he owns and has operated his Gold & Gems clothing business for the past six years. Students are welcome to review the past single assignments Legend In The Coupe,""Pure Highbury," "Charge It to the Game," and "Don't Trust You" in preparation for the final semester test

Report via New York Post -- Missouri law enforcement was able to “sniff out” the location of a person wanted for possession of a controlled substance over the weekend after the suspect passed gas so loudly that it gave up his or her hiding spot, officials said.

The Clay County Sherriff’s Department posted on Facebook to share how flatulence played a role in the arrest outside the City of Liberty, Mo.

“If you’ve got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and you pass gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot, you’re definitely having a shitty day. #ItHappened,” the sheriff’s office said. The department posted a photo of officers using police dogs in a wooded area as part of their search.

Officials have not released the name of the suspect or provided more information about the case.

“We’ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!” the sheriff’s department told St. Louis’ Fox 2 after the station reached out for more information about the case.

The Liberty City Police Department was “surprised” to see the incident “slip out, which stinks for the arrestee,” the City of Liberty said on Twitter. The city also gave props to officers for “airing out a wanted person’s dirty laundry and fanning the flames.”

No one was injured in the arrest, the city said.

LARGO, Fla. (WFLA) – A Pinellas County Dunkin’ Donuts manager was arrested for grand theft this week after police say she hired a fake employee to pocket more money for herself.

Pinellas Park police arrested 29-year-old Markia Nelson Monday morning. An arrest report identifies Nelson as a store manager at the Dunkin’ on Ulmerton Road near 40th Street North in Largo.

According to the arrest report, Nelson hired a “fictitious person” on May 15, 2019. From May 16 through July 6, police say Nelson punched in and punched out the fake employee, logging a total of 235 hours.

The arrest report says the fake employee earned $8.65 an hour. The fake employee earned a total of $1,610.84.

Police say Nelson direct deposited that money into her own account. She later admitted to police that she did it and used the money for “life expenses,” the arrest report says.

Nelson was charged with grand theft and was booked into the Pinellas County Jail. Online jail records show she has since been released.

Report via WBUR -- A Massachusetts teenager convicted of fatally stabbing and then decapitating a high school classmate has been sentenced to life in prison.

Mathew Borges, 18, of Lawrence, will be eligible for parole in 30 years under the maximum allowable sentence handed down on Tuesday by Superior Court Judge Helene Kanzajian.

A jury convicted Borges in May of first-degree murder in the November 2016 killing of 16-year-old Lee Manuel Viloria-Paulino. Viloria-Paulino's decapitated body and head were found along the banks of a river by a dog walker.

Prosecutors say Borges was jealous the victim had spent time with a girl he liked.

Under Massachusetts law, a first-degree murder conviction carries a life sentence without the possibility of parole for adults. But parole eligibility must be added if the crime was committed as a juvenile.
