A major search operation was then launched for the 14 people who were on board the tug supply vessel.

| Al Franken Faces New Sexual Harassment Allegation Posted: 30 Sep 2019 10:12 AM PDT  Al Franken was accused of sexual harassment by an anonymous woman on Monday, the latest in a string of misconduct allegations that forced the former Democratic Minnesota senator's resignation last year.In a piece published by New York magazine's The Cut, the woman, a current "senior staffer at a major progressive organization" came forward on condition of anonymity to accuse Franken groping her at an fundraising event in 2006 for U.S. Senator Patty Murray."At the time of the incident, I think, I'm going to go to law school. All I want to do is run for office in my home state. This created a moment of reflection," she told The Cut. " … It rocked my confidence. As I look back on my career, I am always in deputy roles and support roles."Franken resigned in July 2018 at the behest of Democratic leadership after a conservative talk radio host accused him of forcibly kissing her during a skit performed as part of a 2006 U.S.O tour.The latest allegation comes in the midst of a bit of public comeback for Franken, who on Saturday launched a weekly program on SiriusXM titled "The Al Franken Show."Franken also appeared on Conan last Thursday, during which he claimed "there were no good choices" during his ousting from the Senate in 2017 in the face of multiple sexual misconduct allegations, and said that "people who know me, know I'm not that guy."A July profile in The New Yorker revealed he regretted his decision to resign without due process, and that seven Democratic lawmakers now had qualms in the initial decision to force Franken out.One of the biggest proponents for Franken's resignation was New York Senator Kristen Gillibrand, who dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary last month after struggling to raise poll numbers and donations. A New York Times article noted Gillibrand was "shunned" by many powerful party donors for her stance on Franken.

| Why One NYC House Democrat Is a Holdout on Impeaching Trump Posted: 30 Sep 2019 12:45 PM PDT  NEW YORK -- To understand the anomaly of Rep. Max Rose, one of the few House Democrats who has not endorsed an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, one must first understand a few other anomalies. There is the anomaly of Staten Island, the lone stronghold of conservatism within deep blue New York City, and the heart of Rose's district. There is the anomaly of Rose himself, whose victory last year made him just the second Democrat to represent Staten Island in Congress in more than 30 years. All of which leads to the third and current anomaly: Rose's refusal to back impeachment, amid revelations that Trump asked the president of Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, even as most other Democrats in vulnerable seats have signed on. When seven moderate House members with backgrounds in the military or intelligence or defense communities wrote an opinion piece in The Washington Post declaring their openness to impeachment, Rose, an Army veteran, was not one of them. Instead, Rose has issued two noncommittal statements. On Tuesday, he reaffirmed his long-standing opposition to impeachment, even as he said that the whistleblower's allegations meant that "all options must be on the table." And on Friday, Rose said that "the story is far from over," and that "under no circumstances" would he "allow politics to influence my decision regarding this matter." "This is a sad day for America," Rose told reporters at the Capitol on Friday. "This is not something that anybody should be luxuriating in. This is not something that anybody should be celebrating. And certainly this is not something that anybody should be dismissing solely because it's a Republican president." He continued, "The last thing I will ever do is base any decision that I make, or any speed with which I make that decision, off of political calculation." Of course, that equivocation has ensured that Rose's political calculations are all anyone wants to talk about. Democratic activists have accused Rose of putting his own reelection above his duties as a congressman; some have spoken of recruiting a primary challenger. Republicans have assailed Rose for trying to avoid the accountability that comes with a firm position. Another first-term Democrat from New York, Rep. Anthony Brindisi, has also avoided taking a firm stance on impeachment. Brindisi, who represents Central New York, defeated the Republican incumbent, Claudia Tenney, by a little more than 4,000 votes last year. But Rose has so far received far more attention for his wavering position, including from the president. On Friday, Trump reposted an attack ad against Rose on Twitter, which had been shared by the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee. The ad declared that Rose wanted "endless investigations." On Sunday morning, the president shared the ad again, this time adding his own commentary: "We will win big," the president wrote, singling out those seeking impeachment in "Trump type districts." The result is that, for all Rose's attempts to distance himself from the impeachment inquiry, his district may be a prime laboratory for one of the biggest questions it has created: Will the Democrats' about-face, after months of putting off impeachment, help or hurt them in 2020? Rose's district is particularly well suited for such a test: Trump defeated Hillary Clinton there in 2016 with 58% of the vote. His support was even more resounding in the primary election: There, Trump captured 82% of the vote against his fellow Republicans. But the district has occasionally supported Democrats. In 2012, President Barack Obama narrowly won Staten Island. And last year, Rose defeated the Republican incumbent, Dan Donovan, by almost 7 points, or about 12,000 votes, buoyed by the more liberal enclaves on Staten Island's North Shore, as well as the southern rim of Brooklyn, which makes up a slice of the district. The challenge facing Rose was apparent on Friday afternoon, on Forest Avenue in West Brighton, a neighborhood of Staten Island that split roughly evenly between Rose and Donovan. Marguerite Rivas, a professor at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, said she had voted for Rose and was disappointed with his careful approach. But she accepted it so long as his vote was not needed for impeachment. (So far, 225 House members have backed an impeachment inquiry, more than the simple majority required to impeach.) "I would rather he play to the middle and get reelected as a Democrat," Rivas said as she left Kings Arms Diner. Asked if she thought a more aggressive tack from Rose would cost him his seat, Rivas, a lifelong Staten Island resident, did not hesitate. "Yes, yes I do," she said.Her view was seemingly affirmed at Jody's Club Forest, an Irish restaurant, where a few men were scattered around the bar. Greeted by a reporter, they immediately demurred. But, asked again, one man relented. "Want to step outside?" he said. "This is Staten Island," the man, Arthur Alinovi, explained outside. "They'd probably hate me." Alinovi, now retired from a job at a bank, also voted for Rose. He said he was disappointed in what he perceived as Rose's preoccupation with holding onto his seat. "There are more things in life than being a senator or congressman," Alinovi said. Still, Alinovi said Rose's hesitation was not likely to make him change his vote. "I wouldn't vote for a Republican if my life depended on it," he said. Next door, at Liberty Tavern, Junior Barone was similarly immovable -- but in the other direction. Barone, 70, a retired police officer, said he had met Rose during the campaign, when Rose visited the tavern. Barone had bought him a drink and invited him to chat; he found him likable. And, he said, he agreed with Rose's call for more information on the impeachment inquiry. But Barone, a staunch supporter of Trump, said that would not sway him to vote for Rose. "I like him," Barone said. "The only thing I don't like about him is he's a Democrat." Jay Jacobs, the state's Democratic Party chairman, said he respected Rose's and Brindisi's decisions, even if he believed those views might soon change. "Every member has to represent their own unique districts in the way that those districts will support," Jacobs said. "I have no doubt that when all of the evidence is in, much like the overwhelming majority of the entire nation, both Rose and Brindisi will be where they should be to support and defend our Constitution. How they get there and why they get there will all be irrelevant." But others were less forgiving. Among progressive activist groups, including the ones that powered Rose's victory last year, displeasure has turned to planning. Sally McMahon, a founder of Fight Back Bay Ridge, an activist group in southern Brooklyn, said Rose seemed overly focused on appealing to Republicans on Staten Island, at the cost of preserving support among progressives in Brooklyn. The district's Brooklyn neighborhoods accounted for most of Rose's margin of victory. "If he does not come out for impeachment, I have a write-in candidate," McMahon said.

| Judge Allows Cop to Use ‘Castle Doctrine’ Defense in Trial for Mistaken Apartment Killing Posted: 30 Sep 2019 02:34 PM PDT  The jury in the trial of Amber Guyger, a former Dallas police officer who is charged with murdering her neighbor in his apartment, can consider the "Castle Doctrine" as part of Guyger's defense, Judge Tammy Kemp ruled Monday, hours before final deliberations in the murder trial.The Castle Doctrine, which was passed by the Texas Legislature in 2007, "presumes that the use of force is reasonable and necessary when someone is unlawfully and with force entering or attempting to enter your occupied home, car, or place of business, or when someone is committing or trying to commit a crime against you."Guyger, who shot and killed Jean in his own apartment on Sept. 6, 2018, was initially charged with manslaughter, but the district attorney's office subsequently reviewed the case and indicted her on murder charges, with the implication that the shooting could not be considered manslaughter because Guyger admitted it was intentional.The shift also allowed for Guyger's defense to center its argument on the basis of "a mistake of fact," as Guyger — who was returning from a 14-hour shift — claims she accidentally took Jean's apartment to be her own, and mistakenly thought he was an intruder. Now, if jurors apply the Castle Doctrine, Guyger may walk free."If a jury believes she was telling truth that she was mistaken, that is an excuse under Texas law," defense attorney Brad Lollar told The Dallas Morning News last year in the buildup to the indictment. "By filing a manslaughter charge instead of murder, law enforcement is depriving her of defenses she would have under a murder charge."The judge also announced in the meeting with lawyers on both sides that the jury would be allowed to consider manslaughter in any potential sentencing of Guyger.

| Gut microbes can get you drunk and damage your liver Posted: 30 Sep 2019 11:23 AM PDT  In 2016, a woman who had a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit was acquitted of her DUI charge after it was discovered that she had an extremely rare condition called "auto-brewery syndrome." People with this syndrome carry microbes in their intestines that produce abnormally high levels of alcohol, which they produce when they break down sugars and carbohydrates. While auto-brewery syndrome is an extreme example, it makes one wonder: Could intestinal microbes be influencing other health or behavioral traits? Jing Yuan at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in Beijing published a new study in Cell Metabolism showing that an intestinal microbe may cause fatty liver disease by producing high levels of alcohol.

| Coal States Urge Trump Administration to Tackle Plant Closures Posted: 30 Sep 2019 02:58 PM PDT ![Coal States Urge Trump Administration to Tackle Plant Closures]( "Coal States Urge Trump Administration to Tackle Plant Closures") (Bloomberg) -- Six coal states are pressing the Trump administration to wrap up an almost two-year inquiry into whether coal and nuclear plant retirements are threatening the electric grid.In letters to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which overseas U.S. power markets, utility commissioners from Alabama, Kentucky, Montana, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wyoming warned that plant closures are accelerating and "bringing increased attention to grid resilience and fuel security."The appeal comes almost two years after the commission rejected a Trump administration bid to bail out money-losing coal plants, dismissing the proposal as unlawful. But the agency left the door open to future action, by opening an inquiry into whether regulatory changes are needed to keep the lights on. More than 200 comments have been filed with the commission since then, and more than a dozen coal-fired power plants have been decommissioned.Now the states hardest hit by coal's decline are asking the energy commission to finalize its review of the electric grid and, again, consider imposing market rules that could curb the closure of fossil-fuel generation.They may find a sympathetic ear in commission Chairman Neil Chatterjee, a Kentucky Republican and a longstanding champion of the coal industry who has faced criticism for pushing an ill-fated proposal to curb coal retirements by paying generators for having fuel on-site. Chatterjee has since said that the independent agency can't put its thumb on the scale to favor any one source.Chatterjee said he would address the issue of grid resilience this fall and, on Oct. 21, will co-host a University of Kentucky energy forum in the heart of coal country. Speakers include Bob Murray, the chief executive officer of coal producer Murray Energy Corp., who has repeatedly called on the Trump administration to take steps to revive the domestic coal industry.The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, which represents coal producers, said it was time for the agency to take action to "help address concerns over grid resilience as a result of the continued retirement of fuel-secure coal units across the country."To contact the reporters on this story: Stephen Cunningham in Washington at scunningha10@bloomberg.net;Ari Natter in Washington at anatter5@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: David Marino at dmarino4@bloomberg.net, Catherine Traywick, Reg GaleFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
