<p>Sparks flew in Knoxville Wednesday night as Democrat Phil Bredesen and his Republican opponent Marsha Blackburn squared off in their final debate leading up to November's mid-term election.</p>
<p>The candidates traded barbs over everything from immigration, to education, and to the recent battle to appointment Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme court. </p>
<p>When pressed on the issue, Bredesen once against reaffirmed his position that despite running as a Democrat he would've voted to confirm Kavanaugh to the country's highest court.</p>
<p>"I wanted to take my time with this, the obligation of a Senator is to consider all the facts," he then went on to address the sexual assault allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, "All things being equal I did not think those allegations rose to the level of being disqualified from the Supreme Court."</p>
<p>Blackburn quickly seized on the opportunity to spar with her opponent, "Tennesseans wanted to see Kavanaugh confirmed, if Hillary had been President you would not have a Judge Kavanaugh."</p>
<p>Blackburn continued to try to convince voters that if elected to the U.S. Senate, Bredesen would be a guaranteed vote for Democrats and tried multiple times to attach his candidacy to Hillary Clinton. Clinton's name was mentioned at least a half dozen times during the hour long debate. In a debate last month though Bredesen rebuked that claim, saying that if elected he wouldn't vote for Chuck Schumer to be part of his party's leadership.</p>
<p>Both candidates continued to separate themselves from one another on tax cuts</p>
<p>Bredesen, the former Governor of Tennessee, continued to tow the moderate line in tonight's debate. Political analysts say securing independent, rural voters in Tennessee will play a crucial role in whether the Democrat can pull off a win in a state that voted for President Trump by double digits.</p>
<p>The night's final sparks flew when Bredesen referenced Congressman Blackburn's continued reference of chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>"I did not think you could beat the number of times you mentioned Chuck Schumer in the last debate but you have with Hillary Clinton tonight."</p>
<p>Bredesen, whose poll numbers appeared to dip this past weekend, received a major endorsement earlier in the week as pop-icon Taylor Swift took to Instagram announcing she would be supporting the Democrat's bid to fill Bob Corker's seat. Swift's social media post also prompted tens of thousands of people to register to vote across the country.</p>
<p>This was the final time Bredesen and Blackburn will debate. Early voting for the November mid-term election begins on Oct. 17. </p>
<p>Bredesen and Blackburn previously faced off in a Sept. 25 debate at Cumberland University in Lebanon.</p>TWO BROTHERS ARRESTED AT DICKERSON RD WAL MART (LOCAL)tag:www.kennyonline.net,2018-10-11:2717865:BlogPost:3059272018-10-11T10:27:31.000ZDj C-Dubhttp://www.kennyonline.net/profile/DjCDub

<p>Parolee 31-year-old Eric L. Caruthers was arrested Wednesday morning near South 7th Street in East Nashville.</p>
<div><div>The shooting happened on Aug 11, just after a youth football jamboree at Antioch High School. The event was not associated with Metro Nashville Public Schools.</div>
</div>
<p>According to police, the shooting happened after the coach broke up an altercation between two juveniles, angering one of their fathers.</p>
<p>Witnesses told News4 that Caruthers walked up to a group of people after the game and asked, "Who laid his hands on my kid?"</p>
<p>When the coach from the opposing team raised his hand, Caruthers asked him to speak with him privately.</p>
<p>The coach told police Caruthers was angry over the way he had intervened in the fight between his son and another player and asked him to meet him under the bleachers.</p>
<p>That's when Caruthers pulled out a pistol and fired multiple shots, according to the victim. The coach was shot twice in his right leg.</p>Amber Rose Allows Her 5-Year-Old Son To Curse: “It’s A Form Of Expression”tag:www.kennyonline.net,2018-10-11:2717865:BlogPost:3057562018-10-11T10:00:00.000ZDj C-Dubhttp://www.kennyonline.net/profile/DjCDub

Amber spoke with Us Weekly and revealed that she lets her 5-year-old son curse in the house! Now y’all know times have definitely changed because this wasn’t the case up in my household. </p>
<p>“I let my son curse in the house because it’s a form of expression,” Amber said. “I tell him when it’s appropriate and not to say it at school. That’s it.”</p>
<p>Amber spilled the tea at her annual SlutWalk, and said that Sebastian can pretty much say anything but N-word,<br/> “something he picked up from his rapper father, Wiz Khalifa.”</p>
<p>“I tell him, ‘I’d rather you say f—k,’” she said.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Wiz has been coparenting with Amber since their divorce back in 2014.</p>
<p>Sebastian no doubt has one cool mom and Amber’s already prepared to talk to him about the birds and the bees when the time is right. She said she won’t be afraid to discuss protection and the importance of condoms.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“I’m going to put them in his drawer next to the bed and be like, ‘I don’t want you to have sex right now, but if you do, this is how to protect yourself,’” she said.</p>
<p>Amber also touched on having more kids. </p>
<p></p>
<p>“I could do it without a guy if I wanted to, but ideally I would like to find a life partner that is like a best friend and just gets me and knows that I’m not easy to deal with,” adding, “Love and companionship is great. But other than that, I don’t feel like I need anybody but my son and my family, my health and my happiness.”</p>

<p><span>At least two people are dead after Hurricane Michael made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 on Wednesday, bringing winds of 155 miles per hour and flooding streets. Michael is the strongest storm since Hurricane Camille in 1969 and the third-most-powerful on record to hit the U.S. ABC News reports that the storm's first victim died in a "debris-related" incident in Greensboro. The second death was a child from Lake Seminole, Georgia, who was visiting a home in Florida when a tree fell on the property. "Hurricane Michael is the worst storm that the Florida Panhandle has ever seen," Governor Rick Scott declared at a press conference Wednesday evening. By 11 p.m. EST, forecasters said Michael was weakening, but winds were still raging at 75 mph as it crossed into central Georgia. More than 375,000 Gulf Coast residents were urged to leave the area prior to the storm, but many opted to remain in harm's way. “We’ve told those who stayed to have their life jackets on when the storm comes,” Franklin County (Fla.) emergency management coordinator Tress Dameron told</span> <i>The News Herald</i><span>. The AP reports that the hurricane could drop up to a foot of rain on affected areas.</span></p>Texas Officer accused of killing man in wrong apartment is firedtag:www.kennyonline.net,2018-09-24:2717865:BlogPost:3057412018-09-24T19:55:58.000ZDemeka "Nicety"http://www.kennyonline.net/profile/Nicety

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A Dallas police officer charged with manslaughter in the wrong apartment fatal shooting of a man was fired Monday morning, according to an email sent by Police Chief Rene Hall.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Officer Amber Guyger, 30, "engaged in adverse conduct" when she fatally shot Botham Jean, 26, at his apartment on the night of Sept. 6, Hall said in her email.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Hall said her decision to fire Guyger was made after an internal affairs investigation concluded on Sept. 9.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">"Officer Guyger was terminated for her actions," Hall said in her email.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">She said Guyger, who was hired by the police force in November 2013, has a right under civil service rules to appeal her discipline, Hall said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Guyger's dismissal came just 10 days after Jean held a news conference and called for Guyger to be fired immediately.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lee Merritt, an attorney for the Jean family, said Hall spoke with the victim's family and attorneys in a conference call on Sunday to tell them she intended to fire Guyger and explained why there was a delay in the action.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">"Specifically she explained that a premature administrative suspension could have possibly implicated Guyger’s fifth amendment protections and compromised the criminal prosecution," Merritt said. "The Jean family expressed satisfaction in this explanation and in Guyger’s termination."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He described the move by Hall "as an initial victory," noting that the decision was announced on the same day Botham Jean was buried in his native country, the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">"However, we are committed to seeing through the next steps of the process of a proper murder indictment, conviction and appropriate sentencing," Merritt said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Merritt said his office is conducting a parallel investigation of the shooting and is preparing to file a wrongful death civil lawsuit against Guyger and City of Dallas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Merritt and other attorneys for the Jean family -- Benjamin Crump and Daryl Washington -- also released a joint statement praising the dismissal of Guyger as "a first step towards justice for Botham Shem Jean."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">"As Botham Shem Jean's family has his homegoing service in St. Lucia this week, this announcement of Amber Guyger's termination from the Dallas Police Department is bittersweet for Botham’s family," the attorneys said in a statement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Guyger's lawyer did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Jean -- who worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers, a multinational professional services firm with an office in Dallas -- was killed when Guyger mistook his apartment for her own and shot him when she opened the ajar door of the unit and saw a "large silhouette" that she thought was a burglar, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Guyger was arrested and charged with manslaughter three days after the shooting but Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson said a grand jury will decide the ultimate charge. She has not ruled out seeking a murder indictment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Earlier this month, Kaufman County Sheriff's Office released video of Guyger behind bars in handcuffs and jail attire. She does not speak during the video and was later released after posting $300,000 bond.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">The rapper Mac Miller has died of an apparent overdose at the age of 26, according to a TMZ report. Per law enforcement sources, TMZ claims, Miller "was found Friday at around noon at his San Fernando Valley home and was pronounced dead at the scene."</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Miller released his most recent album, the critically acclaimed Swimming, in early August. In a recent profile for Vulture, the rapper opened up about his struggles with addiction over the years, something he's rapped about frankly in his music:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> I used to rap super openly about really dark shit,” he says of that time in his life and artistry and the mark it has left on the way audiences connect the facts of his life with the themes of his music, “because that’s what I was experiencing at the time. That’s fine, that’s good, that’s life. It should be all the emotions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Miller was set to embark on a cross-country tour in support of Swimming in late October.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Dallas police are in the process of obtaining a warrant on manslaughter charges against a police officer who shot and killed a man after entering an apartment she mistakenly thought was her own, police Chief Ulysha Renee Hall said Friday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">The shooting took place Thursday night at the South Side Flats. The patrol officer, described as a female Caucasian, has not been identified, but her name will be released when she is formally charged, Hall told reporters.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">The slain man has been identified as Botham Shem Jean, 26.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"Right now there are more questions than answers," Hall said. Her initial remarks at a press conference were also posted on the Dallas police blog.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"A female Dallas police officer returned to what she believed to be her apartment after her shift ended -- she was still in uniform when she encountered Mr. Jean inside the apartment," Hall said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">The chief said it isn't clear what "the interaction was between her and the victim. Then at some point she fired her weapon striking the victim."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">The officer called 911 and officers "responded in about four minutes," Hall said. Rescue crews transported Jean to a hospital, where he later died.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"At the very early stages of this investigation -- initial indications were that they were what we consider circumstances of an officer-involved shooting. However, as we continued this investigation it became clear that we were dealing with what appears to be a much different and very unique situation."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Hall -- who didn't provide details on that situation -- said police aren't handling the case under the department's usual officer-involved shooting protocol.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"A blood sample was drawn to test for drugs and alcohol, we are in the process of obtaining a warrant, and we have also invited the Texas Rangers to conduct an independent investigation," she said, referring to the state law enforcement agency.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Jean, a native of St Lucia, was listed on LinkedIn as a risk assurance experienced associate at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He earned a bachelor's degree at Harding University in Arkansas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"This is a terrible tragedy," Jean's employer said. "We are simply heartbroken to hear of his death."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Jean described himself on LinkedIn as a "young professional, engaged in developing a career built upon integrity, dedication and relationships, leveraging useful technologies to gain an understanding of and add value in a range (of) industries, striving towards leadership in my career, my community and society."</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Burt Reynolds, the mustachioed megastar who first strutted on screen more than half a century ago, died Thursday, according to his agent Todd Eisner.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He was 82.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Georgia native, whose easy-going charms and handsome looks drew prominent roles in films such as "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Boogie Nights," suffered a cardiac arrest, Eisner said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">An iconic Hollywood sex symbol in front of the camera, Reynolds also tried his directorial hand behind it, and later earned a reputation for philanthropy after founding the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre in his home state of Florida.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">His roles over the years ranged and pivoted from Southern heartthrob to tough guy to comedy, notably for his role as Rep. David Dilbeck in the 1996 film "Striptease," which flopped at the box office but earned him widespread praise for his comedic prowess.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Nike announced on Monday that the 30th anniversary of its “Just Do It” campaign would star Colin Kaepernick, the former NFL quarterback who famously began kneeling during the national anthem in order to protest police brutality, igniting a national conversation about race, sports, and the meaning of patriotism.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The ad, which features a close-up of Kaepernick’s face and the tagline “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything,” was met with praise from fellow Nike athletes like LeBron James and Serena Williams, as well as former CIA Director John Brennan. That “everything” refers to Kaepernick’s professional football career — following his departure from the San Francisco 49ers, he was essentially blackballed from the NFL for his political demonstrations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The ad was also met with backlash, including a boycott, a trending Twitter hashtag, and viral tweets of customers cutting the Nike swoosh off of their stuff. Meanwhile, Fox News host Tucker Carlson called the campaign “an attack on the country,” while others took issue with the term “sacrifice,” suggesting instead that the campaign should have gone to Pat Tillman, the NFL player who left the league to enlist in the Army in 2002 and was killed in Afghanistan.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Nike’s decision to feature Kaepernick in its campaign is part of a larger trend: Since the 2016 US presidential election, brands — once terrified of controversy — are more and more likely to enter the realm of politics. There’s never been a more popular time to be a brand with an opinion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">And the Kaepernick ad seems to be the result of an essential lesson from the past two years of brands attempting to take a stand in their advertisements: It actually takes a stand.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Actor Geoffrey Owens, who once played Bill Cosby's son-in-law Elvin on "The Cosby Show," says he is proud to work at Trader Joe's and is unfazed by what he feels is job-shaming.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Wearing his red store badge and smiling, the 57-year-old actor whom outlets spotted working at the supermarket in Clifton, New Jersey, appeared on Tuesday's "Good Morning America." During a conversation with "GMA" anchor Robin Roberts, he reflected on the outpouring of support he's received from celebrities like Terry Crews, Blair Underwood and Pamela Adlon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"It's really overwhelming in a good way," Owens shared with Roberts. "I really want to thank everybody out there: family, friends, Hollywood community and the general public for the incredible support, the amazing support and positivity that they’ve shown for me. It’s quite astounding, it's very encouraging."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Owens said he felt the reports about his workplace were in fact attempts at job-shaming.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"I was really devastated, but the period of devastation was so short, because so shortly after that, the responses – my wife and I started to read these responses from literally all over the world of support and so, fortunately, the shame part didn’t last very long," he said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Owens explained he decided to work at Trader Joe's, where he's been employed for about 15 months, after being unable to make ends meet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">“I got to a point where I’d been teaching, acting, directing for 30+ years, but it got to a point where it just didn’t add up enough and you gotta do what you got to do," he shared, adding the job offered "flexibility," so he could "try to stay in the business."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"I didn’t advertise that I was at Trader Joe’s," he added, "not that I was ashamed of it, but because I didn’t want the entertainment community to kind of decide, 'Well, he's doing that, he’s not pursuing acting anymore.' I felt like I had to be careful about that."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Owens said his return to the limelight hasn't resulted in any jobs offers, but also shared getting work from his recent publicity wouldn't feel right.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"I wouldn’t feel comfortable getting acting jobs from this event," he said. "I wouldn't mind getting auditions, I don't mind if people call me in to try out for things, due to what's happened, but I actually wouldn't feel comfortable (with) someone giving me a job because this happened. I want to get a job because I'm the right person for that job."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Before his interview concluded, Owens discussed what he found to be a silver lining in the unexpected spectacle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"This business of my being this 'Cosby' guy who got shamed for working at Trader Joe's, that’s going to pass... but I hope what doesn’t pass is this idea... this rethinking about what it means to work, the honor of the working person and the dignity of work," he said. "And, I hope that this period that we're in now, where we have a heightened sensitivity about that and a re-evaluation of what it means to work, and a reevaluation of the idea that some jobs are better than others because that’s actually not true.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"There is no job that's better than another job," he continued. "It might pay better, it might have better benefits, it might look better on a resume and on paper, but actually it’s not better. Every job is worthwhile and valuable, and if we have a kind of a rethinking about that because of what’s happened to me, that would be great, but no one should feel sorry for me, either from a positive or a negative perspective. I’ve had a great life, I've had a great career, and I’ve had a career that most actors would die for."</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Senator John McCain of Arizona, who has been battling brain cancer for more than a year, will no longer be treated for his condition, his family announced on Friday, a sign that the Republican war hero is most likely entering his final days.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Senator John McCain of Arizona, who has been battling brain cancer for more than a year, will no longer be treated for his condition, his family announced on Friday, a sign that the Republican war hero is most likely entering his final days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Last summer, Senator John McCain shared with Americans the news our family already knew: He had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, and the prognosis was serious. In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict,” the family said in a statement. “With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mr. McCain had been undergoing treatment since July 2017, and has been absent from Washington since December. Mr. McCain’s family has gathered in Arizona, and people close to him say his death is imminent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">From his ranch in Arizona, Mr. McCain had managed to maintain a voice in key foreign policy and military policy debates, sharply criticizing President Trump after his summit meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, an old adversary of Mr. McCain. At home, he has welcomed close friends to renew ties. But after decades as a fixture in Washington and a larger-than-life character, he had largely retreated from the public eye.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">News4 reached out to Vanderbilt for a reason behind the large crowd and delays. At 9:42 p.m. Vandy sent News4 the following response:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"Security for the concert required use of metal detector wands in addition to bag searches. Guests were processed through security checkpoints as quickly as possible. We experienced peak crowds between 8 to 8:15 p.m. Additional personnel were called to assist with alleviating the wait. There is no longer a wait at the gates."</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">When legendary singer Aretha Franklin died, she did not have a will or trust. Her four sons have filed a document listing themselves as interested parties, reports say.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Franklin died last week from advanced pancreatic cancer. She was 76.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">In addition to her sons' filing, Franklin's niece has asked the court to appoint her as a personal representative of the estate, the Detroit Free Press reported. It said under Michigan law, if an unmarried person dies without a will, his or her assets are divided equally among any children.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Franklin's lawyer has represented her in entertainment matters for nearly three decades, and told the paper that he constantly asked her to do a trust, but she never got around to it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"I was after her for a number of years to do a trust," Los Angeles attorney Don Wilson told the paper. "It would have expedited things and kept them out of probate and kept things private."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Wilson is Franklin's attorney in copyright matters, song publishing and record deals, and will be consulted on estate planning purposes. He said while he doesn't have a dollar figure on the value of her assets, the lack of a will means the finances will become public in Oakland County Probate Court.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">"I just hope (Franklin's estate) doesn't end up getting so hotly contested," Wilson said. "Any time they don't leave a trust or will, there always ends up being a fight."</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Hooters' sales are slumping due to millennials' lack of interest in boobs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">People ages 18-24 are less likely to search for breasts on Pornhub than other age groups.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The number of Hooters locations dropped 7 percent between 2012 and 2016.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Millennials have long had a reputation for ruining good things. The latest victim: Hooters. According to Business Insider, millennials' lack of interest in breasts is contributing to the closure of Hooters restaurants nationwide. Based on analysis by Pornhub, individuals ages 18-24 are 19 percent less likely than other age groups to search for breasts on the porn website. This lack of interest is also reportedly bad for "breastaurant" business. Industry reports indicate the number of Hooters locations has dropped 7 percent between 2012 to 2016, and sales are slumping. Perhaps they should just try serving avocado toast?</span></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>NASHVILLE YOU HAVE TO VOTE TO GET YOUR VOICE HEARD!!!</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Nashville voters will decide in November whether to amend the city's governing document by creating a new civilian-led board that would review the actions of police.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Davidson County Election Commission voted 5-0 Wednesday to certify the signatures needed to add a proposed Metro Charter amendment to the Nov. 6 ballot, deciding a group of criminal justice advocates collected enough petition signatures to trigger the public vote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The vote will send the amendment language to the Metro Clerk, who will send it back to the election commission to set the ballot.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It's poised to go before voters as claims of racial bias by the Metro Nashville Police Department have resurfaced following the release of surveillance video last week of a 25-year-old black man getting shot from behind by a white police officer during a foot-chase in North Nashville.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">If the amendment is approved by voters in November, a new 11-member panel would be created with investigative and compulsory powers to review arrests and other incidents involving police.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mayor David Briley has expressed concerns about the measure, but said he supports the concept and has vowed to create a civilian oversight board by executive order if the referendum doesn't pass.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Wednesday's vote wasn't without debate.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Resistance came from the Nashville Fraternal Order of Police, which opposes the civilian oversight board, and whose attorneys argued that the group Community Oversight Now did not meet the signature threshold.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The commission staff verified 4,801 signatures, even though the group has more signatures. The commission stopped because the group passed what is needed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Metro Charter says a charter amendment may be proposed to Davidson County voters if a petition is filed that is signed by 10 percent of the number of voters who voted in the "preceding general election."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The city, as well as Community Oversight Now, has pointed to the August 2016 election — which featured state primaries and local school board races — when 47,074 people voted. That meant that 4,708 signatures were required.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">But the Nashville FOP, represented by attorneys David Raybin and Austin McMullen, argued the preceding general election occurred on May 24 for the special mayoral election won by Briley. In that election, 82,368 people voted, meaning the bar would be 8,237 valid signatures.</span></p>
