MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — As temperatures plunge, carbon monoxide levels are spiking — and the device meant to detect the gas might not protect you for long. HCMC in Minneapolis saw at least six cases of carbon monoxide poisoning over the weekend.

Rachel Thissen is her mother. “Her journal that she would write she wants to bring goodness to her school and be a light, and the thing is that so many people that recall Jenna have referred to her, as a light,” mother Rachel said. Jenna’s mother and brother, Kaleb Fish, lost their shining star the day after Thanksgiving. They woke up to a house full of poison. “I’ve never experienced something like that before. Just fuzziness, dizziness, shakiness,” brother Kaleb said. Jenna had fallen asleep in the basement, but because of carbon monoxide poisoning, she would never woke up. “I just kept passing out. I couldn’t get to my daughter,” Rachel said. “I came upon her body at probably about 8 in the morning.” Jenna Fish (credit: Rachel Thissen) They were stunned with grief and, disbelief.

‘TRAITOR’: Home of Trump Lawyer Michael van der Veen Targeted with Graffiti
A vandal painted “TRAITOR” on the sidewalk in front of the home of Michael van der Veen, one of the lawyers for former President Donald Trump, on Friday evening — hours after he had argued at the Senate impeachment trial. The Chester County home of Michael van der Veen, one of Donald Trump’s defense attorneys, has been vandalized with the word “traitor” spray-painted at the edge of his driveway. https://t.co/xJczZZzN7C — CBS Philly (@CBSPhilly) February 13, 2021 The local Philadelphia CBS affiliate reported : The Philadelphia-area home of one of Donald Trump’s defense attorneys, Michael van der Veen, has been vandalized with graffiti. Someone spray-painted “traitor” at the end of the driveway of his Chester County home with an arrow pointed toward the house. Detective Scott Pezick of the West Whiteland Township Police Department in Chester County said the graffiti were reported around 8 p.m. Friday at van der Veen’s home. Many of Trump’s lawyers have been threatened or abused since the election. As Breitbart News reported in November, Trump attorney Jenna Ellis was threatened with rape. Democrats have also urged that Trump’s attorneys be disbarred. Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley noted: Many attorneys supported attacks on other lawyers in the past through groups like the Lincoln Project. Now Van der Veen is under attack. https://t.co/rKPENsMNql How many professors and lawyers will now speak out in his defense? The silence is deafening. https://t.co/klLokXinCF — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) February 14, 2021 These were attorneys doing their jobs in representing a client. There was a time when there would be a chorus of objections to those harassing them and abusing them. Now lawyers often seem to be leading or spurring the mob to the doors of fellow lawyers. — Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) February 14, 2021 Van der Veen has not acknowledged the vandalism explicitly, though he told Fox News on ...
Heat Blow Past Wizards 122-95
MIAMI (AP) — Washington’s Bradley Beal thought he had an open path to a layup in the opening minutes, unaware that Miami’s Bam Adebayo was going to swat his shot out of bounds with ease. Beal’s night didn’t get any better. And the Heat looked like themselves again. Beal — the NBA’s scoring leader, averaging 34.8 points entering Friday — missed his first 13 shot attempts, reserve Kendrick Nunn had 25 points and Miami rolled to a 122-95 win over the Wizards. Adebayo scored 21 for Miami, which got 17 points from Kelly Olynyk, 17 more from Tyler Herro, and a 14-point, nine-assist, eight-rebound night from Jimmy Butler. Beal scored only seven for Washington, the first time this season he has been held below 25. Alex Len scored 18, Russell Westbrook scored 13 and Rui Hachimura added 12 for the Wizards, who won in Miami on Wednesday by holding the Heat to 35 second-half points — then gave up 40 in the first quarter on Friday. Miami led by as many as 37, the biggest Heat lead of the season — and the biggest Washington deficit of the season. Everything was different for the Heat. They had a morning shootaround, a break from the norm. They changed the starting lineup, inserting Goran Dragic for Herro. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra even challenged a foul call, something he hardly ever does and was successful. And Beal simply couldn’t buy a basket. He was 0 for 6 in the first quarter and 0 for 6 again in the second. He missed his first shot of the third before getting a 3-pointer to fall with 9:46 left in the period. That was his last shot of the night. Washington lifted all five of its starters with 4:14 left in the third, down 93-61. TIP-INS Wizards: Beal’s scoring average fell to 33.3. … Washington’s 5-14 start matches the seventh-worst in franchise history. … The Wizards are 2-0 with Westbrook in the lineup against Brooklyn this season, and 0-11 when he’s in the lineup against any ...
Long Island Officials Urge People To Stay Home On Super Bowl Sunday; Dangerous Driving Conditions Expected From Winter Storm
COMMACK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Officials on Long Island are hoping this Super Bowl Sunday means more people in front of TVs, and much fewer on the roads as plow drivers work to clear snow. The overwhelming message from Suffolk County – parts of which could see nine inches of snow – is to stay off the roads since dangerous driving conditions are expected, CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reported Sunday. Ready or not, there’s a winter storm rerun on Super Bowl Sunday, adding more slush to already snowy sidewalks and front lawns.“It’s scaring me, just the thought of cleaning up the mess again,” said Suzanne Stringham from East Meadow. “Not looking forward to digging out my car,” another person said. WEATHER TIMELINE: Winter Storm Could Bring Up To 8 Inches Of Snow Sunday Snow removal plans are in place on Long Island. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran says there’s ample salt, and trucks are ready to hit the road. Curran is asking Gov. Andrew Cuomo to mandate public works crews as essential workers to get vaccinated. “It’s really important to keep them safe, to keep them healthy so they can clear the roads. That’s something that we all depend on,” Curran said. LINK: Check The Latest Forecast Store parking lots were jammed Saturday as folks prepared for the winter storm and the big game. But Nassau County’s police commissioner said it’s better to hire a driver or take public transportation on Sunday. “A lot of these parties start by noon… They start to drink… you come out six inches of snow later,” said Commissioner Patrick Ryder. Medical experts are also urging people to make sure the Super Bowl doesn’t become a superspreader event.
