Maryland driver gets probation for Delaware crash that killed 5 NJ family members
A horrific crash in Delaware last year left a New Jersey man and his four daughters dead – but the Maryland driver whose pickup truck crossed a highway median, according to authorities, won’t be going to prison. Instead, defendant Alvin Hubbard III, 46, of Cambridge received one year of probation from Judge Calvin L. Scott Jr. The sentence came Friday in a Delaware courtroom. Scott was appointed to the Superior Court of Delaware in 2003 by former Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, a Democrat who served from 2001 to 2009, according to the official website of the Delware Courts.

'Extreme' flooding at Mojave Dam could put hundreds of thousands at risk: Officials
An "extreme" flooding event at the Mojave River Dam could put hundreds of thousands of Southern California residents nearby at risk for flooding, according to officials. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday that it has changed the risk characterization of the dam, located in San Bernardino County, from low to high urgency of action after assessing that water during an extreme flood event could exceed the design capacity of the dam and overtop it.

She messaged the yacht's skipper, named only as Mike, to tell him she was returning to the Rival 34 sailboat but when she did not arrive within a few hours, he got worried and called police.
It turned out that she had lost control of the dinghy after an oar went overboard and strong winds pushed her out to sea.
Drawing on skills from her experience as a sailor, she used plastic bags to keep warm and relied on the sustenance of a packet of boiled sweets in her day pack.
She tried to alert overhead planes by pointing a mirror towards the sun, hoping that they would catch sight of the reflection.
An underwater drone, helicopter and six coastguard vessels were deployed and when she was finally picked up, she was 55 nautical miles of Heraklion and 23 nautical miles south of Folegandros.

New Zealand tourist lost at sea for two days survives by rationing candy
The exhausted New Zealand woman Kushila Stein, 45, was found floating on the dinghy in the middle of the Aegean Sea, 110 kilometres north of Heraklion in Crete on Sunday. She wrapped herself in plastic bags to stay warm, and survived without drinking water by snacking on a 'handful of boiled sweets' during her two nights lost at sea. Ms Stein had been on a yacht with a British man when she decided to take the dinghy out for the day to stretch her legs, her mother Wendy Stein told Stuff. The British man, named Mike, had been transporting the vessel from southern Turkey to Athens with Ms Stein's help.

She was then taken to Heraklion, on Crete, and treated for dehydration and is expected to make a full recovery.
Her mother, Wendy Stein, who spoke to her daughter after the ordeal, told Stuff her first words were: "I still have one lolly left, mum."
"She also told me she wrote down my name and number and attached to the dinghy so they would know who to contact if they found her and she was dead.
"She told me: 'I did everything I could to survive'.
"She has been trained in sea survival so is quite competent. I think that might have saved her life," she added.
In September, crew aboard the cruise ship Pacific Dawn rescued three men who had abandoned their yacht after it took on water and were left drifting on a life raft off the coast of New Caledonia, in the South Pacific.
Ben Johnson, one of the three seafarers, told The Australian about his relief when the P&O vessel dispatched a rescue boat.

Running away as shots rang out, Carlos Vivanco turned to see where they were coming from. Then he felt his left eye closing and his face dripping with blood. The 18-year-old student had become one of scores of people hit in the eyes, and in some cases blinded, by police rubber bullets in Chile's recent wave of anti-government protests. Police have fired tear gas, water cannons and rubber shot cartridges. Vivanco was hurt during the first week of the protests, when President Sebastian Pinera sent soldiers onto the streets."They wanted to cause me pain, shame, regret, fear," says Vivanco at his house in the suburb of La Pintana near the capital Santiago.
