Three years into the con, it went sour. According to Mark Godsey, an assistant U.S. attorney, one of the clients for the Oct. 19 Graduate Management Admission Test was an undercover postal inspector.

If convicted, Ma faces up to 10 years in prison and a hefty fine....

These assessments are made with high confidence, based on information from other law enforcement agencies, open source information, court documents, human sources with varying degrees of access and corroboration, and FBI investigations....
Last year, the erstwhile ninth planet was demoted because astronomers had discovered a nearby object, now officially named Eris, that was larger in diameter than Pluto. (According to the latest measurements, Eris is 2,400 kilometers across, compared to Pluto’s 2,200.) If Pluto was a planet, then so was Eris—making it the tenth. But instead of taking that route, which would have opened membership in the club of planets to other large objects such as the asteroid Ceres and Pluto’s own moon Charon, astronomers decided to get pickier about what defines a planet....
Here’s a new vacation motto: never pay retail again. There’s a glut of time shares on the market, and that means great deals for folks who buy those one-week resort stays from previous owners instead of arm-twisting developers. “You can buy a resale for 50 cents on the dollar, but some areas will go for far less than that,” says Bill Rogers, founder of Timeshare User’s Group (tug2.net), a popular site where owners rate resorts, share price data, trade vacation weeks and gossip....

Over 64,000 people packed London’s Wembley Stadium for the England vs. Denmark semifinal, but there was one girl in the crowd, in a corner of the stadium, who was singled out for a pretty special postgame parting gift.

The Cowboys have spent the better part of the last week and a half attempting to justify the addition of Hardy, whose signing has been met with criticism because of off-field issues.

The details from an unidentified player of the NHL team emerged after the Chicago Sun-Times obtained copies of the amended lawsuits. The two lawsuits against the Blackhawks were filed in Cook County Circuit Court. Chicago law firm Jenner & Block has been investigating the allegations since late June that Aldrich sexually assaulted two players during the 2010 playoffs and that management refused to report the incident to police. The investigation is also looking to claims that the Blackhawks recommended Aldrich to future employers, after which he assaulted a 16-year-old Michigan high school student three years later....
These measures leave little recourse for opponents to challenge new laws that experts and critics say disproportionately affect minorities. But much like in Georgia, where former candidate Stacey Abrams prioritized registering and mobilizing voters of color, Democrat Marco Lopez believes his gubernatorial candidacy can be the antidote to what ails Arizona. “My being on the ballot would galvanize and energize Latinos throughout the state to get out and vote and be part of the decision-making process in Arizona,” Lopez told Newsweek in a wide-ranging interview....
