U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Marisa Woytek is coming forward to discuss the sexual harassment she’s been subjected to because of a Facebook group. Woytek says that photos from her private Instagram page were circulated on the Facebook group named Marines United, which brought forth numerous incidents of sexual harassment and abuse from her fellow marines. Furthermore, Reveal reports that hundreds of Marines are being investigated for sharing photos of naked colleagues.

What Happened

The U.S. Department of Defense is investigating hundreds of Marines who are said to have used social media to exchange up to thousands of naked photos of women service members and veterans.

More than two dozen women – both active and former duty – have been identified by their rank, full name and military duty station in photographs posted in the private Facebook group since January 30. The photo sharing began on January 5 after the first Marine infantry unit was assigned women.

The Facebook activity on the Marines United group page was unearthed by The War Horse, a nonprofit news organization run by Marine veteran Thomas Brennan.

“We need to be brutally honest with ourselves and each other: This behavior hurts fellow Marines, family members, and civilians. It is a direct attack on our ethos and legacy,” Sgt. Maj. Ronald L. Green, a senior enlisted Marine on active duty, wrote in an email response. “It is inconsistent with our core values, and it impedes our ability to perform our mission.”

Also according to the Washington Post, the former Marine and defense contractor who posted the Marines United Facebook group link has since been fired.

Wyotek, who is married to fellow Marine Zacahry Wyotek, had this to say about the ordeal: “Even if I could, I’m never reenlisting. Being sexually harassed online ruined the Marine Corps for me, and the experience.” She thanks the reporting from Reveal and War Horse because other victims “have a voice now.”

Marisa served on the USS Boxer while her husband served on the USS New Orleans. The couple were married in October 2016 in Fulshear, Texas.

U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Marisa Woytek is one of more than two dozen women whose privacy has been brutally invaded by a Facebook group called Marines United that has shared photos of female enlistees to its more than 30,000 members. The photos show female U.S. marines in their private lives in addition to sharing personal information.

What Happened?

The Facebook group Marines United was uncovered by The War Horse, a nonprofit news organization run by Marine veteran Thomas Brennan. The War Horse’s investigation revealed a Facebook group with more than 30,000 followers sharing private photos of U.S. female marines with sexually aggressive comments and information.

According to Reveal, the sharing of photos began in January 2017 with photos and personal information being exchanged across the group. While speaking with the Washington Post, Woytek opened up about the experience.

“Even if I could, I’m never reenlisting. Being sexually harassed online ruined the Marine Corps for me, and the experience.” Woytek is happy that other victims “have a voice now” thanks to reporting from Reveal and War Horse.

According to the Washington Post, the former Marine and defense contractor who originally posted the link has since been fired.

One photo specifically referenced in the report from Reveal featured a female marine bending over to pick up her gear. A commenter wrote, “take her out back and pound her out.” Another commenter replied with, “And butthole. And throat. And ears. Both of them. Video it though…for science.”

Who Is Marisa Woytek?

Marisa Woytek is a U.S. Marine Lance Corporal. She married fellow Marine Zachary Woytek in Fulshear, Texas, back in October 2016, according to the Tri-City Tribune. The announcement said they had both just returned from serving in Iraq at the time. Woytek was on board the USS Boxer while her husband was on the USS New Orleans.

However, according to the couple’s The Knot page, their wedding date is said to be June 2017 and taking place in Costa Mesa, California.

“The couple is making their home in Vista, California and have one and a half years left of active duty. After their enlistments are over they plan to return to College Station, Texas and attend Texas A&M University.”

As seen on her page, Woytek lives in Oceanside, California. She jokes in her about section, “I’m just here for the free beer.” According to his Facebook page, Zachary Woytek works in Marine recruitment and is from Columbus, Texas.

Twitter Reaction

Woytek’s comments have drawn praise from social media users.

A man who was fired after he was alledgedly caught drinking at work has been accused of stabbing his former boss and then trying to run him over with his truck.

Irelio Reyes Osorio, 52, of Miami Lakes, Florida was arrested on a charge of attempted first-degree murder.

According to the police report, Osorio was angry at his former boss for firing him and was demanding to be paid for days he worked before he was fired. Police said Osorio sent his former employer numerous text messages threatening to use a gun, machete or knife on him if he didn’t get paid.

via Local 10:

Police said the man agreed to meet with Osorio at a cafeteria on West 20th Avenue in Hialeah. When both men arrived, Osorio lunged at the man with a knife and began to chase him through the parking lot, cutting him on the chest and left arm, the report said.

The victim threw a rock at Osorio, knocking the knife out of his hand, the report said. Both men got back into their vehicles, but Osorio continued to attack his former employer, the report said.

Surveillance video obtained Friday by Local 10 News shows Osorio’s pickup truck slamming into the man’s work van. Osorio then drives away, dragging a chain-link fence behind his truck.

Reyes Osorio was fired from his job at an air-conditioning factory by Reynaldo Mendez after allegedly turning up for work drunk. Mendez was taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries, which were non-life threatening.

According to police, Osorio openly admitted to stabbing his boss and intentionally trying to run him over. He is currently being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Florida.

Although it never quite caught fire with gamers in the way the Wii did, Nintendo’s Wii U had tons of amazing exclusive games. Most were made by Nintendo itself, with the likes of Mario and pals. With the console’s successor, the Nintendo Switch, set to drop March 3, the Wii U is running out the clock. Prices are plummeting for the system and its games, making for excellent opportunities for bargain hunters looking to fill out their collections.

Here’s a look at the best Wii U games available right now:

5. Bayonetta 2

Publisher: Nintendo
Developers: PlatinumGames

An awkward fit for the family-friendly console, this was nonetheless one of the best action games on any console this generation. The scantily-clad, death-dealing vixen deals out stylish death to her enemies, with combo-driven hack-and-slash combat punctuated with show-stopping boss battles.

ORDER: Bayonetta 2

4. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Publishers: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo

The GameCube classic re-emerges with revamped visuals and gameplay that make it far better than the original version. The cartoonish visuals belie a deadly, intense quest to sail the ocean and take down dark lord Ganon. If HD remasters of Zelda games are your thing, you should also give Twilight Princess HD a whirl.

3. Super Mario 3D World

Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo

Combining the best of both side-scrolling and open-world Mario platformer realms, you guide Mario and crew from a top-down perspective through an array of gorgeous and creative levels. Multiplayer is frenzied fun, with as many as three other players able to join in if you’ve got Wii or classic controllers at the ready.

ORDER: Super Mario 3D World

2. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Bandai Namco

One of Nintendo’s most impressive online multiplayer efforts to date lets you slug it out with dozens of classic characters. The backgrounds are just as impressive as the selection of characters and special moves, with each sporting its own hazards and combat enhancements.

ORDER: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

1. Mario Kart 8

Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Nintendo

This series has been a prime reason to own a Nintendo system since the Super NES days, and developers have just about perfected the formula over the years. New courses join with favorites from the past, and software updates have added faster racing classes that challenge even the most seasoned pros. Online multiplayer is fast, fun and addictive. The company thinks so highly of this game that the Switch is getting an enhanced version of Mario Kart 8 rather than a sequel.

A new report from the Anti-Defamation League says that white supremacists are actively engaging and recruiting students on U.S. college campuses at an alarming rate.

According to the ADL’s Center on Extremism, white supremacists are leveraging grassroots tactics – including distributing racists fliers and organizing on-campus speeches by racists speakers – to disseminate their message of hate and recruit students.

Since the school year began in September 2016, there have been 107 incidents of white supremacists fliers found on college campuses. The ADL have cataloged 65 such incidents since January 2017 alone.

“White supremacists have consciously made the decision to focus their recruitment efforts on students and have in some cases openly boasted of efforts to establish a physical presence on campus,” ADL’s CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement. Greenblatt continued that while recruitment efforts have always existed, “never have we seen anti-Semites and white supremacists so focused on outreach and students on campus.”

Anti-Defamation League

The ADL believes the increased emphasis on college campuses is aimed to push white supremacist activity “from online chatter to real-world action.”

For example, last month a student sporting an Old Dominion University sweatshirt tweeted a music video entitled “white power” that quickly spread across campus. Back in January, a printer at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee was hacked, which caused anti-Semitic fliers to be printed.

Certain white supremacist groups are attempting to establish a physical presence on campuses throughout the country. As of now, racist fliers and posters have been reported on college campuses in at least 25 states, according to the ADL.

We’re so close, so, so, close to the best sporting event of the entire year: March Madness. The upsets, the buzzer beaters, the cutting down of the nets, the tears of both fans and athletes, everything about it. It’s the best and if you disagree, well then you’re wrong.

Anyways, the casual basketball fan knows that there are a few factors that go into your team cutting down the nets at the end of the season. You have to be playing well at the right moment, you need a big man that doesn’t necessarily have to be skilled, but their presence must be felt, and you need the veteran leadership of the guys who have played in the big games before, unless you have teams like the 2012 Kentucky and 2015 Duke squads that were littered with extremely talented freshman. But the most important aspect to succeeding in March, at least in my opinion, all comes down to coaching.

There have been numerous teams that have won the NCAA Tournament throughout the years that did not have the most talent or any player that went on to have success in the NBA, and that was because they had a coach that could get the most of out his team, and probably had a pretty damn good game plan to go with it. Going into the tournament this year, there are those few teams you can count on to do well because of their legendary coaches, as well as the talent they have on the court.

As a South Carolina fan, I’m well aware that our program has not really had a history of success in the tournament, or really basketball for that matter, so the fact we have a good chance at making the tournament is enough for me, although I’d love to see us cut down the nets one day. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a big Frank Martin fan and love how he has turned around the program, but I wouldn’t consider him a top-tier coach in the sport, and if one of these following guys got offered the job at South Carolina within the near future, let’s just say I wouldn’t be upset. So for all you college basketball fans with a chance at winning the whole thing this year, here are the five best coaches (in my opinion) going into the NCAA Tournament this year.

5. Bill Self – Kansas

Born: Okmulgee, Oklahoma
Start with Current Team: 2003

Rock Chalk, baby. Bill Self and his Kansas Jayhawks have basically owned the Big 12 since he first made his mark with the team back in 2003, by winning seven Big 12 Tournament Championships, as well as 13 consecutive Big 12 regular season championships starting back in 2005. Although he’s only led Kansas to two Final Four appearances, both of those times resulted in trips to the National Championship, where he and his Jayhawks cut down the nets back in 2008. Besides his great postseason success in Lawrence, Self has done it in the regular season as well. From 2006-2012, Self had the best six-year record of any coach in Division I history going 197-29, and has had a 202-10 home winning record (.957 win percentage) since his start with the school. And if all of that doesn’t do it for you, he’s been named National Coach of the Year three times. With a strong team this year, don’t be surprised if Self and Kansas bring back another national title to Lawrence.

Coaching Achievements with Kansas: 406-85 record, one National Championship, seven Big 12 Tournament Championships, 13 Big 12 regular season championships, 3x National Coach of the Year, 4x Big 12 Coach of the Year

4. John Calipari – Kentucky

Born: Moon Township, Pennsylvania
Start with Current Team: 2009

Say what you will about Coach Cal, but there is no better recruiter in all of college basketball than Cal. Since he’s been in Lexington, the guy has been producing NBA talent left and right with the likes of John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Karl Anthony-Towns, and Eric Bledsoe, to name a few. With all the talent he’s been getting, you’d like to think he should have more than just one National Championship to his name, but he’s getting a new roster every year, and as I said before, it’s important to have those veteran guys on your team. With that being said, I still think that he’s great at getting the most out of his young players. During the start of his tenure with Kentucky, he led the Wildcats to four Final Four appearances, two National Championship Games, one of which they won in 2012, four SEC Tournament Championships, and five SEC regular season championships. With another team full of talented freshman again this year, it will be interesting to see just how far Cal and his boys can go in the tournament.

Coaching Achievements with Kentucky: 242-52 record, one National Championship, 5x SEC regular season championships, 4x SEC Tournament championships, 1x Naismith Coach of the Year, 3x SEC Coach of the Year

3. Rick Pitino – Louisville

Born: New York, New York
Start with Current Team: 2001

Getty Images

Kentucky fans will probably have something to say with me putting Pitino over Calipari on this list, but I’m the one making the list and this what I believe. For starters, he has more National Championships than Calipari, even though the first one was with Kentucky, and while Louisville does have a great program and brings in great recruits each year, they don’t have nearly the talent that Kentucky does, and I think he’s able to do just as much with his team as Calipari does with his. Since he’s been at Louisville, the team has gone to four Final Fours and won numerous regular season and tournament conference championship. Yeah, I know he’s had a bunch of knocks against him lately both personally and professionally with some sketchy recruiting tactics, but I’d kill to have Pitino as the coach of my team, and wouldn’t be shocked if he took Louisville on a deep tournament run this year.

Coaching Achievements with Louisville: One National Championship (two overall), 411-137 record, 4x regular season conference championships (Big East, C-USA, AAC), 5x Conference Tournament championships, 1x C-USA Coach of the Year

2. Roy Williams – North Carolina

Born: Marion, North Carolina
Start with Current Team: 2003

Getty Images

Roy Williams is a good coach, a damn good coach I should say. If you don’t believe me, his four Final Four appearances with North Carolina should prove my point. The Tar Heels have gotten back to where they should be since he went back to his alma matter in 2003, and has helped lead UNC to two National Titles, and could have won a third if it hadn’t been for a miraculous buzzer beater by Villanova’s Kris Jenkins in the title game last year. While UNC fans love that Williams has brought their team postseason success, I can’t imagine that they’re thrilled with his 11-17 record against hated rival Duke, but fortunately for them, they may not even play Duke in the tournament at all this year, depending on how the brackets come out that is. Now I’ll admit to you that I don’t like UNC at all, but I think that they’re going to win the National Championship this year. Williams has a strong team this year with its share of both strong play from veterans and freshman, with most of the production coming from upperclassmen Joel Berry and Justin Jackson. Title #3 could be headed Roy’s way this year.

Coaching Achievements with North Carolina: 2x National Championships, 390-114 record, 8x ACC regular season championships, 3x ACC Tournament championships, 1x Coach of the Year Award, 2x ACC Coach of the Year

1. Mike Krzyzewski – Duke

Born: Chicago, Illinois
Start with Current Team: 1980

Getty Images

I really don’t know what else can be said about Coach K at this point. The man is widely viewed as not only the best coach in college basketball, but one of the best coaches of all time. Only the great John Wooden has more National Championships than Coach K with 10 (which is absurd by the way), but his five titles are pretty damn impressive as well. I get that everyone hates Duke and what not (I do not, for what it’s worth), but the fact that guy has been to TWELVE Final Fours is downright outrageous. And the thing is, I don’t think he’s stopping anytime soon. One of the more impressive things that Coach K ever did was completely change the way he recruits players, because with the One-and-Done Rule, elite high school players were only staying in college for one year before jumping to the NBA, which is not what he was accustomed to since he’s been at Duke, but once he realized that, he was able to recruit players in a different way, and fit his coaching style to their playing styles, which led to a National Championship title where he had three freshmen in the starting lineup. The Duke team this year perplexes the hell out of me, because I can either seem them getting bounced in the first round, or going all the way to the Final Four. With Coach K at the helm, I’m willing to bet that it’s the latter.

Coaching Achievements with Duke: 992-269 record, 5x National Championships, 12x ACC regular season championships, 13x ACC Tournament championships, 3x Naismith Coach of the Year, 5x ACC Coach of the Year

To all post-grads in their 20’s and full-blown real world adults 30 and above: are you ready to have your nostalgic worlds rocked?

According to a new post on the Walt Disney website, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford have officially joined the (still untitled) Indiana Jones 5. The film has even received a brand spanking new release date: June 19th, 2019.

Here’s the official statement:

“Indiana Jones will return to the big screen on July 19, 2019, for a fifth epic adventure in the blockbuster series. Steven Spielberg, who directed all four previous films, will helm the as-yet-untitled project with star Harrison Ford reprising his iconic role. Franchise veterans Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce.

“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019,” said Alan Horn, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

As of now, there are no plot details, but it’s a safe bet that aliens will NOT be involved this time around. If the franchise’s timeline is still intact, this fifth installment should take place in the late 1960’s (roughly). Hopefully, Disney and Lucasfilm release some more concrete information in the near future.

We can all agree that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was garbage, but doesn’t Indy deserve a shot at redemption? You’re damn right he does.

We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

Cornell University suspended the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity last Friday, making it the third fraternity suspended by the university in just over a month. The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life at Cornell previously suspended Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

Pi Kappa Alpha, similarly to the first two fraternities placed on suspension, is forbidden from engaging in any activities other than operating its residence.

Cornell has previously withdrawn recognition from Pi Kappa Alpha back in 2010 due to a ‘history of alcohol and hazing-related infractions over several years.’ That suspension was supposed to last for four years, however, Pi Kappa Alpha was reinstated in January 2013 after submitting a rehabilitation plan to the University.

Via Cornell Sun:

“This is an example of an ideal process,” the former senior associate dean of students, Travis Apgar, told The Chronicle at the time. “It sets Pi Kappa Alpha up to move forward with activities that pertain to the fraternity’s founding principles, which is what we’re asking all our fraternities and sororities to refocus on: living up to what, at their foundation, they say they are about.”

Asked for comment on Friday, Interfraternity Council President Drew Lord ’18 pointed to his statement after the suspension of Lambda Chi Alpha, which said that Lord cannot comment on an active investigation but has full confidence in the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life.

Burke, a community engagement director at Cornell, said in an email to the Cornell Sun on that he cannot comment further on an ongoing situation.

Katherine Gonzalez, an elementary school teacher, is being accused of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old male student. Gonzalez also told police that she wanted to make the boy “happy.”

Gonzalez, 24, was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 13. Gonzalez taught at Atlas Preparatory’s Kansas Avenue campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Gonzalez made her first court appearance on Sunday, March 5, with a cash bond being set at $15,000. Furthermore, Gonzales was ordered to have no contact with the 11-year-old victim in this case, and she is permitted from using social media, a computer, or a cell phone.

The Atlas Preparatory Academy sent home a letter with students stating that one of the school’s teachers had been placed on administrative leave. The letter says the Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a report alleging an Atlas teacher had engaged in inappropriate conduct with a student.

Via Fox:

“The Milwaukee Police Department sent officers to the Kansas Campus on Wednesday, March 1st to investigate a report alleging inappropriate conduct between an Atlas teacher and a student outside of school grounds. School officials are fully cooperating with the Milwaukee Police Department in this ongoing investigation. The teacher has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

We want to assure you that we continue to take all the necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our students. We are deeply dismayed by this allegation and will continue to work with our students to support them as they cope with this disturbing news. Counseling will be made available to students, staff, and families.”

According to Atlas Preparatory Academy’s website, the Kansas Campus is a kindergarten through sixth-grade school.

Heather Nauert is departing her cushy anchor job at FOX News in favor of a position in the Trump administration with the State Department. She”ll serve as a spokesperson for the federal executive department, according to Bloomberg.

As of now, nothing has been officially finalized as the vetting process is still ongoing. However, Nauert is expected to join the Trump administration in the near future. Her name was originally floated as a potential State Department addition back in February following a brief White House visit, as reported by Politico.

President Trump has long been a fan of hers as he has previously praised FOX & Friends for having “very honorable people.” Trump was a frequent guest on the show shortly before announcing his candidacy for president.

If all goes through, Nauert will be the second FOX journalist to leave the network for federal opportunities. Jonathan Wachtel previously worked as FOX’s United Nations correspondent before being named spokesman for the U.S. mission to the U.N. on February 25.

Nauert, 47, has been with Fox News for two separate stints, with an ABC News correspondent gig in between during 2005-2007. In 2009, she briefly anchored at Fox-owned New York station WNYW. Most recently, she has worked as a co-anchor of Fox & Friends First and a news anchor for Fox & Friends.

Nauert’s last on camera appearance was February 27. Since then, Heather Childers has been filling in.

Fox News recently signed former State Department spokesperson Marie Harf as a contributor.

Chance The Rapper held a press conference today at Westcott Elementary School in Chicago where he announced that he is donating $1 million to the city’s public schools. The press conference was live streamed from the rapper’s social media accounts.

Last week, the 23-year-old recording artist met with Illinois governor Bruce Rauner to discuss the city’s public education school system. Unfortunately, Chance left the meeting feeling “a little bit flustered, just a little bit frustrated.” He later tweeted this message to his followers:

The first part of the plan Chance spoke of was revealed Monday, with the hip-hop artist referring to public education in Chicago as an “urgent need.”

“Gov. Rauner can use his executive power to give Chicago’s children the resources they need to fulfill their God-given right to learn,” Chance said. “Our talks were unsuccessful.” The rapper said that Rauner was unwilling to compromise without caveats and ultimatums.

“Our kids should not be held hostage because of political positioning,” Chance continued. “If the governor does not act, CPS will be forced to end school 13 days early, which means over 380,000 kids will not have adult supervised activities in June and could possibly be put in harm’s way.”

Earlier on Monday, Rauner proposed some funding ideas in a memo obtained by the Chicago Tribune. One such idea involves new legislation that enables Mayor Rahm Emanuel to “tap into” the city’s tax increment financing funds to help cover the $215 million gap. The other proposal would require a significantly larger retooling of Illinois’ pension retirement program, according to the Tribune.

There has been a large police response to a shooting in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn Monday afternoon. The shooting took place on Greenpoint Avenue near the intersection of McGuinness Boulevard.

What Happened?

Police have responded to a reported shooting at 185 Greenpoint Ave in Brooklyn around 2:35 P.M. EST. The NYPD have confirmed that one person was shot and taken to a hospital.

According to ABC7, a 51-year-old Brooklyn tenant allegedly shot and killed his 45-year-old landlord following an escalating dispute. The suspect then locked himself in an apartment for at least one hour, until police successfully negotiated with him to come out. He is now in custody.

WABC-TV’s Josh Einiger reports that the Pulaski Bridge traffic was halted to a stop during the standoff between police and the suspect.

“There was a pop across the street – we originally thought it was a popped tire, but it turned out it was a gunshot,” said Camille, the owner of Kween Kargo Bike Shop on Greenpoint Avenue.

“Within about a minute police were flooding the area. Then we saw an ambulance and a stretcher,” she continued. “Shortly after that, we saw a police officer go and knock on a window at 185 Greenpoint, and we saw the guy come out with a gun, and that point we all hit the ground.”

Camille described seeing police take strategic positions behind cars and drawing weapons.

“At that poine me and everybody in the shop hit the floor and waited for instructions from police, and after about 10 minutes, they asked us to kind of crawl out, keep low and kind of come down the block here.”

The investigation is ongoing.

FOX News is losing anchor Heather Nauert to the Trump administration. Nauert has accepted a position with the State Department, according to Bloomberg. Nothing is official yet as the vetting process is still ongoing.

What Happened?

Nauert, 47, has accepted a position in the Trump administration with a federal executive branch, the State Department. She will serve as a spokeswoman. Before announcing his candidacy, President Trump made frequent appearances on the FOX morning show as a weekly guest over several years. During a recent press conference, Trump praised the show for having “very honorable people.”

Nauert’s hiring will mark the second time a FOX journalist has pivoted to the State Department recently.

Politico first reported that Nauert was in talks to join the State Department back in February. Nauert was even spotted at the White House one week prior to the report.

Nauert will become the first permanent spokesperson for the Rex Tillerson-led department since Trump took office. Mark Toner had served as acting spokesman, but daily press briefings have not been held since Trump took office.

Who Is Heather Nauert?

Heather Nauert graduated from Mt. Vernon College for Women and earned her Master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University. She has been married to banker Scott Nearby since 2000. The couple has two sons together.

She has been a news anchor on FOX & Friends since 2012 and has been with FOX News and local New York FOX affiliate FOX-5 for the majority of the last 20 years. She spent two years with ABC News from 2005-2007.

Nauert’s last on-camera appearance for FOX was February 27. Since then, Heather Childers has been filling in for her.

The 47-year-old anchor has not been shy in support of Trump. When Nordstrom dropped Ivanka Trump’s brand, Nauert quickly took to Twitter to vocalize her support.

March 12, 2017 is not only Selection Sunday, but it also marks the beginning of the tradition that is March Madness. Each March, year in and year out, we see the veteran coaches like Mike Kyzyzewski, Bill Self, and John Calipari taking command of their squads into the tournament, along with some very unfamiliar faces making their first appearances as head coaches in the Big Dance.

Experience doesn’t always translate to a deep run in the NCAA tournament, as unthinkable upsets are what make March Madness so great. Coaching does go a long way, though. No matter who you root for, you can’t help but love the pandemonium that comes each March in the world of college basketball. With that, here is the ultimate list of every division one men’s basketball coach in the country.

Steve Harvey is a man of many trades, with comedian, actor, and radio/TV host as just a few of his titles. He has tackled many of the world’s toughest jobs with class and ease. He’s also had a very public hiccup, which he’s handled very well. In 2016, Steve announced the wrong winner for the Miss Universe pageant, but recovered from that and has returned as the host for the Miss Universe pageant the next year.

From Cleveland, Ohio to the big stage, Steve Harvey has made a name for himself and with that name has come a substantial amount of wealth and there are no signs of him slowing down anytime soon.

Steve Harvey’s Net Worth as of 2017: $100 million

Broderick Stephen Harvey was born on January 17, 1957, in Welch, West Virginia. His family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, living on East 112th Street, which has been renamed Steve Harvey Way in 2015. Harvey performed his first stand-up comedy show on October 8, 1985, at Hilarities Comedy Club in Cleveland.

Harvey was homeless for multiple years. He slept in his 1976 Ford when not performing gigs that provided him with a hotel room. And when he wasn’t performing he showered in gas station bathrooms and swimming pool showers. All of these struggles led to the man that we all now know as Steve Harvey.

1990 – 2002

Becoming a finalist in the Second Annual Johnnie Walker National Comedy Search in 1990 opened up many doors for Harvey, starting with landing a job as the host of Showtime At the Apollo. Showtime at the Apollo led to more leading roles such as Me and the Boys in 1994. He would star in The Steve Harvey Show, which ran from 1996 to 2002. In 1997, Harvey continued his stand-up comedy work. He began performing in the Kings of Comedy tour along with Cedric the Entertainer, D.L. Hughley and Bernie Mac. Due to its huge popularity, Spike Lee later made the tour into a film.

2003 – 2010

From 2003 through 2005, Harvey had a variety show on WB called Steve Harvey’s Big Time Challenge. During this time, he also launched a clothing line that featured formalwear such as ties and suits. Also during this time, Steve co-starred in several movies, including Racing Stripes and The Fighting Temptations, in which he acted alongside Beyonce and Cuba Gooding Jr. Clearly, all these projects weren’t keeping Harvey busy enough because he also released his infamous Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man book which led to a movie follow-up simply titled Think Like a Man.

2011 – 2017

In 2012, Harvey performed his final stand-up act at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This ended his 27-year career as a stand-up comedian. Though he is no longer a comedian, Steve Harvey is still finding new and creative ways to keep himself busy. From his talk show to hosting Family Feud, Harvey has continued to work nonstop and make a name for himself. Though he started as a comedian, he has found a way to branch out of that and become a jack-of-all-trades. To this day, he is making $30 million per year. Expect his net worth to keep growing.

Through it all, he has been very philanthropic and given back to his community with organizations such as the Steve &  Marjorie Harvey Foundation and the United Negro College Fund. For all of the money he has made, he is giving back. It’s amazing that a man who was living in his car was able to turn his life around and become a millionaire.

Terry DiFalco, a 13-year-old girl from New Jersey who was taking part in a scavenger hunt, was struck and killed by an off-duty state police trooper.

DiFalco, who was crossing the street in the 1800 block of Central Avenue in Westfield, New Jersey, around 8:30PM on Saturday, March 4 when an officer driving a state police car ran her over. The off-duty officer remained at the scene of the deadly crash.

DiFalco, on an annual scavenger hunt organized by her school’s drama club, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

via ABC:

Hundreds gathered Sunday evening with candles, their grief pouring out in tears as they begin to say goodbye to their classmate, 13-year-old Terry DiFalco. The teen was crossing Central Avenue in Westfield on Saturday night around 8:30 when she was struck by an off-duty New Jersey State Trooper.

As flowers were laid at the scene of the accident Sunday, parents received the letter from the school principal about DiFalco’s death. The teen, heavily involved in the theater was set to have a part in the upcoming school musical, ‘Carrie.’

Westfield High School Principal Dr. Derrick Nelson expressed his condolences and detailed the assistance available for students and teachers.  Grief counselors were available on Monday at a Westfield High School as students mourned.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have informed our Westfield High School community that one of our 9th grade students was involved in a tragic accident and has passed away,” he said. “We are all devastated by these events and our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family and friends.”

“Within the last 18 hours I have spoken with the police department, school administrators, teachers, and parents all wanting to help in any way they can,” Nelson said. “It is times like these that I am the most proud of our community.”

No charges have been filed against the yet-to-be-identified state trooper.

Meet Connor Rowan. Connor Rowan likes to party, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that. You want to dabble in a little LSD to open your third-eye, that’s your right (or at least it should be). But when you take LSD, strip nude, and then hop in your car to post up at the local Walmart and endanger the lives of others, that’s where it becomes an issue. If you want to get woke on a little acid trip, walk to a park or do it in your apartment — that isn’t too much for society to ask.

A police car making its rounds in Fairville, Louisiana  on Monday, March 6, found Connor Rowan in a Walmart parking lot, sitting naked in a car with the engine running, police said. When the officer went over to check it out, Rowan, 21, put the vehicle in drive and revved the engine. He then drove towards the cop, the responding officer alleges.

via Courier-Journal:

Police said two officers were patrolling the 100 block of Outer Loop at 12:07 a.m. Monday, March 6, when they saw Connor Rowan sitting naked in the driver’s seat of a parked car with the engine running in a Wal-Mart parking lot. When an officer tried to approach the car, Rowan put the car in drive and revved the engine several times, then drove toward the officer. Rowan slammed on the brakes without hitting the officer and then reversed and drove away.

Police followed Rowan through the parking lot to a Murphy USA gas station located next to the Wal-Mart, the arrest citation said. After telling Rowan to turn the car off, police found drugs inside a Marlboro cigarette carton next to his arm. Rowan told officers the drug was LSD.

Rowan was charged with multiple crimes, including one count each of first-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, first-degree fleeing or evading police, driving under the influence, reckless driving and first-degree trafficking of a controlled substance (LSD). Rowan was also charged with first-degree indecent exposure, which, unsurprisingly, is his second such offense.

Rowan is being held in the Louisville jail on a $5,000 cash bond with his next court date scheduled for March 16.
