INDIANAPOLIS — A 19-year-old from Indianapolis has been charged with multiple felonies for his role in organizing, promoting and hosting several parties at rental properties, including a party where a 16-year-old was shot and killed . Jalen Helm faces the following charges: Two counts of corrupt business influence (Level 5 felonies) Six counts of maintaining a common nuisance (Level 6 felonies) Four counts of money laundering (Level 6 felonies) Two counts of criminal recklessness (Class B misdemeanors) Criminal recklessness (Level 6 felony) Reckless homicide (Level 5 felony) Sale of alcoholic beverage without a permit (Class B misdemeanor) Identity deception (Level 5 felony) Fraud (Level 6 felony) Theft (Level 6 felony) 10 counts of theft (Class A misdemeanors) Court documents say that Helm hosted at least eight illegal parties between June 16, 2023 and Oct. 28, 2023. These parties were promoted through social media and targeted young people. The court documents allege that Helm supplied alcohol and narcotics to attendees, while also allowing armed guests into the parties. Helm then also collected money for cover charges. He is also accused of using stolen credit cards to pay for the property rentals and other expenses and failing to obtain proper permits to host the large events. “These illegal parties and events are a ticking time-bomb for a disaster,” Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said. “The defendant is alleged to have taken significant measures to shield his parties from the veil of law enforcement and rental property owners, while providing unsafe environments for numerous teenagers and young people. We will continue to work with law enforcement to shut down those who put young people’s lives at risk through these illegal events.” On Oct. 29, 2023, 16-year-old Kalin Washington was killed while nine other people between the ages of 16 and 21 were injured in a shooting in the 5100 block of East 65th Street, near Binford Boulevard. IMPD issued citations following the incident to five people , one of which was Helm.The gaming community has long awaited a solution that seamlessly integrates their favorite Android games onto the innovative ARM-based Mac devices.

TEHRAN – Over the past month, residents across the state of New Jersey in the United States have reported nighttime sightings of unidentified flying objects, including over military bases and President-elect Donald Trump's golf course. Despite numerous calls, neither local police nor federal authorities have provided an explanation. Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew, however, claims to have the answer. "Iran launched a mothership about a month ago, containing these drones. It's off the east coast of America," the congressman told Fox News on Wednesday, citing unnamed "sources." He further suggested that "drones should be shot down, whether they belong to a hobbyist or Iran, which is a very possible scenario." Contradicting Van Drew's claims, the U.S. military has denied any such possibility. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh dismissed the Iranian mothership theory, stating, "There is no truth to that. There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the U.S., nor is there a mothership launching drones towards the U.S." Even if we assume that a foreign country is behind the recent phenomena, Van Drew's unfounded and now debunked accusations against Iran, rather than other U.S. adversaries like China or Russia, may reflect the current political climate in Washington. With tensions high in West Asia following the fall of the Syrian government and the imminent inauguration of Donald Trump, Israeli officials and their supporters in Washington may view the timing as ripe for war with Iran. Representative Van Drew's statements likely reflect the influence of his primary donor, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group known for its significant sway over U.S. foreign policy. Israel’s agenda against Iran is known to all; it hopes to involve the U.S. in a destructive war with the West Asian country. In fact, this isn't the first time Iran has faced unfounded accusations. A U.S. Justice Department indictment in November accused an Afghan citizen of being hired by Iran to assassinate Donald Trump. In July, a similar case accusing Iran of an assassination plot against Trump was debunked when it was discovered the suspect had no verified ties to Iran and was, in fact, from Pakistan. Tehran argues that such instances demonstrate how unsubstantiated accusations are used to discredit Iran internationally. Anti-Iran rhetoric from Western politicians and media aims to demonize Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, thereby shifting global opinion, undermining support for diplomacy, and justifying aggressive policies—potentially paving the way for military engagement. Besides New Jersey, similar sightings have been reported in other locations: - Langley Air Force Base, Virginia: Home to two F-22 combat squadrons and the CIA's headquarters. - Nevada: Known for its vast desert and military installations, including Area 51. - Ramstein Air Base, Germany: A key logistics and command center for U.S. forces in Europe. - RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, UK: Critical bases for USAF operations. In New Jersey, dozens of drones have been spotted at night since mid-November, flying over critical infrastructure, including reservoirs, electric lines, rail stations, police departments, and military installations. Former USAF General Mark Kelly noted the Langley drone sightings began in December 2023 and continued for 17 days, raising suspicions of potential espionage by Russia or China. But the White House has stated that there is no indication of foreign ties to the drones, but investigations continue. Witnesses describe these drones as loud and large, possibly larger than typical consumer drones. RAND Corporation's Daniel Gerstein remarked that these are not just small hobbyist drones. The origin and purpose of these drones remain shrouded in mystery, with some questioning whether they are drones at all. Here is a look at some of the emerging theories and hypotheses: 1. Foreign Espionage: The drones might be used by Russia or China for reconnaissance or sabotage. 2. Secret U.S. Technology: They could be part of a covert U.S. military program testing new technologies. 3. Private Companies: They may belong to private companies testing cutting-edge drone technologies. 4. Misidentifications: Some sightings could be misidentified objects, like small planes or weather balloons. 5. UAPs: Some believe that they may come from unknown origins, even being part of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI), so they classify them as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). 6. Social Experiment: A possible U.S. government experiment to gauge public reaction to unexplained phenomena. 7. Testing Readiness: The U.S. government might be testing military facility readiness by simulating incursions.In conclusion, it is evident that the rumors surrounding Haier's alleged plans for widespread layoffs are nothing more than baseless speculation.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Bill Belichick spent time after his NFL exit talking with college coaches wanting his thoughts on managing new wrinkles at their level that looked a lot like the pros. The two-minute timeout. The transfer portal as de facto free agency. Collectives generating name, image and likeness (NIL) money for athletes becoming like a payroll. The impending arrival of revenue sharing. It didn't take long for Belichick to envision how a college program should look based on his own NFL experience. "I do think there are a lot of parallels," Belichick said. And that's at least partly why the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach is now taking over at North Carolina. Years of rapid change at the have only increased the professionalization of college football across the country, with schools adjusting staffing to handle growing duties once seemingly more fitting for a pro team. UNC just happens to be making the most audacious of those bets, bringing in a 72-year-old who has never coached in college and asking him to build what amounts to a mini-NFL front office. But plenty could follow. "I really think there's going to be some of those guys that maybe don't have a job in the NFL anymore," Kansas State general manager Clint Brown said, "and now that this is going to be structured in a way where there is a cap that that's going to be something they're interested in." A changing college course The rapid changes in college athletics have fueled that, notably with players able to transfer and play right away without sitting out a year and be paid through NIL endorsement opportunities in the past five years. Recruiting is now just as much about bringing in veteran talent through the portal as signing recruits out of high school, mirroring the NFL with free agency and the draft, respectively. And a bigger change looms with revenue sharing, the result of a $2.78 billion legal settlement to antitrust lawsuits. Specifically, that model will allow the biggest schools to establish a pool of about $21.5 million for athletes in the first year, with a final hearing in that case set for April 2025. It will be up to schools to determine how to distribute that money and in which sports, though football's role as the revenue driver in college sports likely means a prominent cut everywhere as a direct parallel to a professional team's salary cap. Throw all that together, and it's why coaches are adjusting their staffs like Florida's Billy Napier interviewing candidates to be the Gators' general manager. "We're built to do it now," Napier said. "The big thing here is that we're getting ready to be in a business model. We have a cap. We have contracts. We have negotiation. We have strategy about how we distribute those funds, and it's a major math puzzle. "We're going to build out a front office here in the next couple of months, and it's primarily to help us manage that huge math problem," Napier added. "There'll be a ton of strategy around that. I'm looking forward to it." Still, that also explains why Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule, the former head coach of the NFL's Carolina Panthers, said: "This job as a head coach is a juggernaut. There's way more to do here than I had to do in the NFL." The value of a hire And it explains why the Tar Heels are betting on Belichick to be the right fit for today's changing climate. "If I was 16 of 17 years old, a coach who came at you and won how many Super Bowls? And he said, 'Come play for me,'" said New York Giants offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu, now in his third year out of UNC. "I mean, that's pretty hard to turn down now, especially in this day and age, he's telling you to come play for him and he's offering you some money, too. I mean, you can't go wrong with that choice." The timing worked for UNC with Belichick, who was bypassed for some NFL openings after leaving the New England Patriots last year and instead spent months taking a closer look at the college game. Those conversations with coaches — some in the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten and Southeastern conferences, he said Thursday — made him understand how the changes in college aligned with his pro experience. "College kind of came to me this year," Belichick said. "I didn't necessarily go and seek it out." And his mere presence in Chapel Hill makes a difference, with athletic director Bubba Cunningham saying his "visibility" would likely allow the team to raise prices for advertising such as sponsorships and signage. Belichick is also hiring Michael Lombardi, a former NFL general manager and executive, as the Tar Heels' general manager. Cunningham also said the plan is for Belichick to continue his appearances on former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning's "Manningcast" broadcasts during Monday Night Football as well as ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" — all giving the coach the chance to promote himself and the program. Investing in football Yet these steps to reshape football at North Carolina comes with a rising price. Belichick will make $10 million per year in base and supplemental pay, with the first three years of the five-year deal guaranteed, according to a term sheet released by UNC on Thursday. That's roughly double of former coach Mack Brown, whose contract outlined about $4.2 million in base and supplemental salary before bonuses and other add-ons. Additionally, Belichick's deal includes $10 million for a salary pool for assistant coaches and $5.3 million for support staff. That's up from roughly $8.1 million for assistants and $4.8 million for support staff for the 2022 season, according to football financial data for UNC obtained by The Associated Press. And those figures from 2022 under Brown were already up significantly from Larry Fedora's tenure with the 2017 season ($4 million for assistant coaches, $2.3 million for support staff). There is at least one area where the Tar Heels are set for Belichick's arrival: facilities. UNC spent more than $40 million on its football practice complex with an indoor facility (2018) as the biggest project, while other projects include $3 million in upgrades to the locker room and weight room (2019), $14.5 million on renovations to the Kenan Football Center (2022), even $225,000 on Brown's former office (2021). Now it's up to Belichick to rethink the approach to football here for the changing times. "We're taking a risk," Cunningham said. "We're investing more in football with the hope and ambition that the return is going to significantly outweigh the investment."
