During the meeting with his staff on Tuesday, Mr. Hengel said he thought his resignation probably came as a relief to the new owners.

Wang Guangming, president of Guangming district central hospital, said Tian was now in a stable condition following the surgery. The other trapped person that Tian spoke of, however, was unresponsive, and was later pronounced dead, according to rescuers.
The new owners of the paper wasted no time in playing the Fox News card, penning an editorial which insisted that the paper would be “fair, unbiased, and accurate”. The announcement about his departure comes a few weeks after it became clear that casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is behind the recent purchase of the newspaper and a few days after it published a piece that implicitly criticized its new owners. It describes plans for “new investments” and the establishment of an ombudsman.
Woman who ran down pedestrians in Las Vegas makes first court appearance
The female suspect accused of crashing into several pedestrians on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, is being held without bail. Holloway previously lived in OR , where she changed her name in October to Paris Paradise Morton, according to court records.
It’s hard to know what this “enhanced fact-checking” will actually entail, but if it’s anything like the influence the Adelson family already wields in the Republican Party, it’s equally hard to imagine it being anything other than a risky misnomer.
It Appears That Martin Shkreli’s Twitter Account Has Been Hacked
Overwhelmingly, the most popular tweet was a reference to a Wu-Tang Clan album Shkreli purchased earlier this year for million. Shkreli’s spokesman confirmed the hacking, and said that they are working with Twitter to get it fixed.
Seaman said Review-Journal reporters have earned respect for their dogged reporting about their own sale. The New Britain Herald called her rulings “inconsistent” and “contradictory” and cited them as evidence for why CT may not want to consider creating specialized business courts.
When asked for comment, Hengel contradicted Fabiani’s account, saying that he’d been approached about the buyout on December 11-before the Review-Journal reported that Adelson was the new buyer-but only accepted it on December 22, after the new terms of the buyout were presented to him.
On Tuesday, the Review-Journal editor who decided not to run anything on the three judges told the staff he was stepping down after accepting a voluntary buyout. Adelson himself has said nothing beyond issuing a family statement vowing to invest in the newspaper to make it top notch. On social media, some of the newspaper’s staff have said they are stunned to see Hengel go.
Hengel and Publisher Jason Taylor both were not immediately available for replying any questions.
One thing is for sure, from now on there will certainly be many critical eyes scrutinizing the newspaper’s every actions, and judging whether the new owners can be taken on their word or not. In the 2012 campaign, the Adelson family spent more than any other donor – about $90 million. Jennifer Robison, a reporter who has been writing about the sale, said that the year over all had been one of transition, and the ownership change was just the latest test. But without Mr. Hengel guiding the way, she said, there was more uncertainty than ever.
