Disgraced drug doctor 's street-level dealer sentenced to federal prison Convicted felon provided names for fraudulent opioid prescriptions in exchange for cash SAVANNAH , Ga : A man who admitted providing phony patients to a disgraced physician in a scheme to obtain opioids for illicit street sales has been sentenced to federal prison . Zachary Lusk , 40 , of Plainville , Ga. , was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. to 40 months in prison after pleading guilty to Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute and to Distribute Controlled Substances ( Schedule IV ) , said Bobby L. Christine , United States Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia . After completion of his sentence , Lusk will spend three years on supervised release . There is no parole in the federal system . As described in court documents and testimony , Lusk admitted providing lists of individuals to Dr. Johnny Di Blasi , a physician who operated clinics in Pooler , Ga. , and Braselton , Ga. Di Blasi wrote prescriptions for opioids and other controlled substances , including Oxycodone and Alprazolam , which Lusk would have filled at pharmacies . Lusk sold the pills for cash and shared the proceeds with Di Blasi . Some of these prescriptions were written to several individuals Lusk brought to meet with Di Blasi at a restaurant where , during an “ oxycodone breakfast , ” Di Blasi provided illegitimate prescriptions to the group . Di Blasi is serving a 33-month federal sentence after pleading guilty to pleading guilty to Conspiracy to Unlawfully Dispense Controlled Substances ( Oxycodone ) . “ With ‘ Dr . Johnny ’ providing access to addictive opioids , Zachary Lusk operated a lucrative business as a street-level drug dealer , ” said Southern District of Georgia U.S. Attorney Bobby L. Christine . “ They ’ ve both exchanged that ‘ easy money ’ for their freedom as they are held accountable for fueling the deadly opioid crisis. ” Robert J. Murphy , the Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division stated , “ This case was made possible because of spirited cooperation between DEA , its law enforcement partners and the subsequent prosecution by the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office . Zachary Lusk lined his pockets off the backs of addicts strung out on prescription medication . Consequently , he can no longer fuel the opioid crisis by feeding prescription pill seekers , but instead , will join his disgraced co-conspirator Dr. Johnny Di Blasi by spending well-deserved time in prison. ” The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) and the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team ( CNT ) , with assistance from the U.S . Marshals Service . Assistant U.S . Attorneys Matthew Josephson , J. Thomas Clarkson and Jonathan Porter prosecuted the case for the United States .

6 things to consider about Predators ' Austin Watson 's reinstatement from indefinite suspension Austin Watson officially is available to play for the Predators . If and/or when they deem him ready remains to be seen . Watson was reinstated Monday from his indefinite suspension after he 'd been admitted into stage two of the NHL/NHLPA 's substance abuse and behavioral health program for an alcohol-related relapse . Watson has entered the follow-up phase of the program and `` has been returned to available status , '' the Predators said Monday evening in a statement . He had to be cleared by the program 's administrators before he was eligible for reinstatement . He was not present on the ice for the Predators during their morning skate Tuesday . Here are five things to consider about Watson 's situation : How it works When a player enters stage one of the program , which can be voluntarily or mandatory , it is rarely made public and the player is paid . Stage two of the program is an unpaid suspension . While Watson was expected to participate in the team 's morning skate Tuesday ahead of its game against the Maple Leafs at Bridgestone Arena , his return to the ice could take some time . MORE : Austin Watson suspension : How the NHL substance abuse program works A different story Watson was suspended without pay for the first 18 games of the season after pleading no contest to misdemeanor domestic assault after his arrest last summer . He was allowed to practice with the team during that time . That was n't the case during his most recent suspension , which began Jan. 29 and covered 21 games and 48 days . Watson has n't played in a game since Jan. 23 . Predators general manager David Poile told 102.5-FM on Tuesday that he had talked to Watson that morning and that the plan was for him to be at practice Wednesday . Poile said he was `` very optimistic he could get back in our lineup before the end of the season . '' Predators coach Peter Laviolette said he had not yet to talked with Watson on Tuesday morning . `` I do not know exactly where he ’ s at physically and mentally , '' Laviolette said . `` We ’ ll have conversations and figure it out from there . I ’ d be jumping ahead if I told you a plan and I don ’ t know it myself . '' MORE : Preds ' Austin Watson says he continues to 'work on all aspects , not just the game but life ' Including Tuesday 's game against the Maple Leafs , the Predators have nine regular-season games remaining before the playoffs begin . That 's not much time for Watson to get up to speed , though he had four goals — including a hat trick in his sixth game back — and two assists in his first six games back after his first suspension . The 27-year-old has seven goals and six assists in 34 games this season . Unusual circumstances While Watson 's reinstatement after being admitted into stage two of the program is n't unprecedented , it 's highly unusual , mostly because not many players get to that point . In October 2015 , after he 'd been traded from the Canucks to the Canadiens , forward Zack Kassian was admitted into the program . He never played a game for Montreal but was reinstated two months later . Two weeks after that he was traded to the Oilers , for whom he still plays . Person , not the player The Predators , from CEO Sean Henry to Poile to Laviolette , have expressed that helping Watson with his personal struggles is far more important than helping him as a hockey player . JOE REXRODE : Predators : The Austin Watson alcohol relapse is a matter of life and death BRAD SCHMITT : On Austin Watson : Getting fired for drunk driving saved my life `` Right now it 's only about the person , '' Laviolette said after Watson 's second suspension . `` It ’ s got nothing to do with the player at all . Austin is a terrific human being . Right now our thoughts are with him . It ’ s got nothing to do with hockey . It ’ s got everything to do with the person . '' His teammates have expressed the same sentiment . Familiar territory Watson is n't the first Predators player to struggle with alcohol or substance abuse . Former Predator Jordin Tootoo recently was honored with his own night by the team . He said he can relate to what Watson is going through . Mike Ribeiro also went through similar , publicly documented struggles . Watson opened up about his struggles with alcohol and depression in an Instagram post before he was suspended . If he comes back After Watson was suspended , the Predators traded for Brian Boyle and Cody McLeod , both physical presences the team lacked . It later acquired Wayne Simmonds from the Flyers for much the same purpose . Watson 's return , should it happen , would provide them with even more physicality . It also likely would help the team 's power play , which has struggled mightily most of the season . Reach Paul Skrbina at pskrbina @ tennessean.com and follow him on Twitter @ PaulSkrbina .

New Hampshire Man Charged with Laundering Money Stolen from Texas Retirees Federal and state authorities arrested 34-year-old Lukman Shina Aminu in Manchester , NH , today for his alleged scheme to launder thousands of dollars from multiple fraudulent schemes , including thousands stolen from former Texas state employees retirement plans , announced United States Attorney John F. Bash , Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs , San Antonio Division , and Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw . A federal complaint unsealed in Austin today charges Aminu with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering . The complaint alleges that beginning in June 2017 , personally identifiable information ( PII ) from state employees was used to make changes to their accounts in the Employees Retirement System of Texas internet portal . Bank deposit information on file in the system was changed which re-routed retirement payments to a debit card Aminu controlled . Aminu then used the debit card for cash withdrawals and to purchase money orders which were used for personal expenses and to purchase used vehicles to be shipped overseas to Nigeria and Benin for resale . The complaint also alleges that Aminu received multiple transfers from victims of other schemes on other debit cards that had been opened using their PII . The complaint states that this scheme involving used car purchases and shipments is a common way for perpetrators of fraud in the United States to send money back to Nigeria ( in the value of the shipped car ) , while simultaneously laundering the funds or “ cleaning the money ” to make the money appear as legitimate income . Aminu remains in federal custody following his arrest . He is awaiting a detention hearing in the District of New Hampshire and a subsequent transfer to the Austin Division of the Western District of Texas . Upon conviction , Aminu faces up to 20 years in federal prison . This criminal complaint resulted from a continuing investigation by the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety – Public Integrity Unit . Assistant United States Attorney Michael Galdo is prosecuting this case on behalf of the Government . It is important to note that a criminal complaint is merely a charge and should not be considered as evidence of guilt . The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law .

John Ivison : Since there 's no fiscal meltdown in sight , the Liberals will just keep on spending This is a government with an aversion to slimming down — it 's like asking a chocoholic to learn to love lettuce Article content The worry when the Trudeau Liberals took office was that they couldn ’ t operate a spoon — that a two-house paper route would be beyond their organizational abilities . Advertisement 2 Article content Early signs were not encouraging : spending ballooned , deficits appeared to be running amok . tap here to see other videos from our team . John Ivison : Since there 's no fiscal meltdown in sight , the Liberals will just keep on spending Back to video Keep calm and carry on , the Liberals said , “ investments ” in infrastructure and the new child benefit would spark economic growth . In effect , the budget would balance itself . Credit then where it may or may not be due . While we are a long way from a balanced budget , fiscal meltdown also looks to be a remote prospect . The government released its fall economic statement Tuesday and the books are looking more rosy than they have at any point since the first Liberal budget . Economic growth is likely to reduce deficits by a cumulative $ 32 billion over the next five years . In the current fiscal year , the deficit has fallen from the $ 28.5 billion ( with a $ 3 billion risk cushion ) projected in the 2017 budget to $ 19.9 billion ( with a $ 1.5 billion adjustment for risk ) . Projected economic growth of 3.1 per cent this year is likely to yield an extra $ 8.9 billion of revenue for the government . Even the innumerate journalists in the press gallery were able to calculate that this should mean a deficit of $ 16.6 billion ( before risk ) . The money is borrowed ; if results come in better than expected , you should borrow less . But this is a government with an aversion to slimming down — it ’ s like asking a chocoholic to learn to love lettuce . Advertisement 3 Article content Canada ’ s booming economy is clearly being viewed as a windfall , and instead of being used for deficit reduction , nearly one-quarter — or $ 1.8 billion — of the $ 8.9 billion in new revenue is earmarked for new “ policy actions ” — $ 100 million for improving security at embassies abroad ; $ 93 million for fixing the government ’ s pay system ; $ 59 million for regulating cannabis ; $ 54 million for refugees and asylum seekers ; and so on and on . More “ progress for the middle class ” is promised in the coming years — the government said it will enhance the Working Income Tax Benefit for low-income workers by $ 500 million a year from 2019 , and index the massive Canada Child Benefit so that it rises with inflation , at a cost of $ 5.6 billion over five years . The Liberals again gave no clues about when the budget might be balanced — the deficit is forecast at $ 12.5 billion in 2022-23 — and this may yet hurt them in the next election . But their preferred metric is the percentage of debt to GDP , and it is forecast to tick gently lower in the coming years . The update will be a welcome channel-changer for the government , and in particular for Bill Morneau , the embattled finance minister . He claimed economic growth as a vindication for a patient calculated strategy , though in truth much of the good news is more by accident than design . If the Liberals do have any legitimate claim to having kickstarted growth it is from the introduction of the child benefit program , which significantly increased the amount of money available to cash-strapped working families . Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz has described it as providing an economic floor , and said it may have encouraged some parents to enter the workforce rather than stay home . Advertisement 4 Article content The Liberals were elected after promising to invest heavily in infrastructure , but the annual financial report for the last fiscal year suggested that money has been hard to get out of the door . It will be interesting to hear Poloz ’ s thoughts on the government ’ s latest stimulus move when he unveils his monetary policy report Wednesday . There are signs the economy is slowing — retail sales for August contracted . But the belief among many observers is that the economy is close to full capacity and that additional stimulus could prove inflationary , prompting further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Canada . At least by pushing off the child benefit indexation until the middle of next year , it reduces that prospect . “ If I were the governor , I ’ d look through this , ” said Jean-Francois Perrault , chief economist at Scotiabank . “ ( New spending ) is not on a scale that is going to have a significant impact. ” Morneau and company had better hope so . With a growing debt , and no plan to reduce it , Ottawa is also vulnerable to the negative shock of rising interest rates . • Email : jivison @ nationalpost.com | Twitter : IvisonJ

BOSTON — The Trump administration has rescinded a rule that would have required international students to transfer schools or leave the country if their colleges hold classes entirely online this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic . U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the decision as a court hearing was getting underway on a challenge to the rule by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . The schools argued that the policy was created unlawfully and that it contradicts previous guidance from federal immigration officials . The colleges were planning to ask the court to block the rule at least temporarily . Under the policy , international students in the U.S. would have been forbidden from taking all of their courses online this fall . New visas would have not be issued to students at schools planning to provide all classes online , which includes Harvard . Students already in the U.S. would have faced deportation if they didn ’ t transfer schools or leave the country voluntarily . The rule created a dilemma for thousands of foreign students who stayed in the U.S. after their colleges shifted to remote learning last spring . As part of the policy , U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had told colleges to notify the agency no later than Wednesday if they plan to hold all classes online this fall . Other colleges would have until Aug. 1 to share their fall plans with ICE . The case is being heard by U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs , who was nominated to the court in 2014 by former President Barack Obama . The policy has drawn sharp backlash from higher education institutions , with more than 200 signing court briefs supporting the challenge by Harvard and MIT . Colleges say the policy puts students ’ safety at risk and hurts schools financially . At least seven other suits have been filed by schools and states opposing the policy . Immigration officials issued the policy last week , reversing earlier guidance from March 13 telling colleges that limits around online education would be suspended during the pandemic . University leaders believe the rule is part of President Donald Trump ’ s effort to pressure the nation ’ s schools and colleges to reopen this fall even as new virus cases rise . Harvard and MIT argue that immigration officials violated procedural rules by issuing the guidance without justification and without allowing the public to respond . They also argue that the policy contradicts ICE ’ s March 13 directive telling schools that existing limits on online education would be suspended “ for the duration of the emergency. ” The suit notes that Trump ’ s national emergency declaration has not been rescinded and that virus cases are spiking in some regions . Immigration officials , however , say they told colleges all along that any guidance prompted by the pandemic was subject to change . They say the rule is consistent with existing law barring international students from taking classes entirely online . Federal officials say they are providing leniency by allowing students to keep their visas even if they study online from abroad this fall .

Excuse us while we toot our own horn for just a moment , but we have to congratulate the Houston Public Media ’ s winners of this year ’ s Lone Star EMMY Awards . The Lone Star chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences oversees the regional EMMY Awards in Texas . Lone Star EMMY awards go to the most experienced and talented television professionals from Texas ’ 19 television markets . Fun fact : the Lone Star chapter is one of the largest in the country . The 2016 presentation took place this past Saturday night , October 15th , in Fort Worth . And the awards went to… For Arts & Entertainment Segment “ Body Art : The Moving Canvas ” ( an Arts InSight segment ) Tomeka Weatherspoon , Producer Matthew Brawley , Videographer/Editor “ I was nominated twice in the same category at the EMMYs this year , which was a fantastic surprise . But I honestly wasn ’ t sure how the results would play out . You never know . I won for a feature I produced called ‘ Body Art : The Moving Canvas. ’ It ’ s about an artist named Vonetta Berry who paints on the human body . Her work is colorful , fun and captivating . I am so thrilled to have had the opportunity to capture and share her story. ” – Tomeka Weatherspoon “ I believe this was the first time I had ever shot and edited a story for Tomeka , and I guess we did all right . I consider shooting and editing stories for Arts InSight to be ‘ my wheelhouse. ’ This is the third time in four seasons of AIS I ’ ve won an EMMY in this category ! ” – Matt Brawley For Interview/Discussion Program Manor Of Speaking # 407 Ernie Manouse , Producer/Host Matthew Brawley , Director Joshua Adams , Director Of Technology “ What an honor to again receive the EMMY for best Interview/Discussion series for Manor of Speaking . It was a fun run , and I ’ m happy to know we ended strong , with the audience still enjoying our ( hopefully ) witty and warm educational banter . It was great fun each week bringing Downton Abbey to our community – sharing historical facts and interacting with the audience via social media . I happened to be with Al Pacino when we got the news that Manor had won , and I have to say , I think Al was even more excited than I was – hugging me , and even planting a kiss on my cheek ! It was truly a memorable moment. ” – Ernie Manouse “ What can I say about MOS that hasn ’ t already been said ? It was so much fun to work with that production team and to see the way we were connecting with our audiences . I was more creatively invested in that show than anything else I ’ ve ever worked on . To see it win three EMMYs in a row in that category is incredible validation that the decisions that Ernie and I made in the creation of Manor were the right ones . I ’ m going to really miss it come this January. ” – Matt Brawley “ When we were creating Manor of Speaking it was important to make sure it had relevance in the community . We wanted to really engage on the phenomena of Downton Abbey and be the place in Houston where everyone came to have a shared conversation about a common experience… in this case what you just watched on TV . I ’ m so pleased and proud to be a part of a team that understands the importance of this mission and why Houston Public Media is the only place Manor of Speaking could ever have existed. ” – Josh Adams For Direction / Live or Recorded HOU Decide : The 2015 Houston Mayoral Debate Matthew Brawley , Director “ It was a real challenge to pull that one off — a lot of moving parts , a lot of candidates , and most importantly a great crew to work with who were all on-point that night . It was also very interesting to lead a team comprised of both HPM personnel , who I work with every day , and KHOU Channel 11 personnel , who in most cases I ’ d never worked with before. ” – Matt Brawley We ’ re extremely pleased to see our colleagues ’ hard work receive this prestigious recognition . Now , back to work , everyone !

CINCINNATI — Weary and bleary , coach Marvin Lewis tried to sum up his team 's horrific start . What was supposed to be a special season has quickly soured . Words are as elusive as a good night 's sleep or a simple touchdown . `` Um , the uh , you know , hmmm . Not a , you know , not a spot where we thought we 'd be , but we are , '' a bleary-eyed Lewis said Friday afternoon . They 're sleepless in Cincinnati after two historically bad games to open their 50th season . Changes are in the works already , although it could be too late to make enough of a difference . The Bengals have to win back fans and forestall an implosion that would reverberate through the organization . `` We have to start winning , and start winning now , '' quarterback Andy Dalton said . Lewis is in the final year on his contract , making him vulnerable . There have been more than 10,000 empty seats for each of the first two home games . And the offense — the focus of offseason moves — has been historically bad , leading to change already . The Bengals fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese on Friday , a few hours after they again failed to get into the end zone during a 13-9 loss to the Houston Texans . Quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor was promoted to coordinator , although there 's not much time or room to put an imprint on the offense . `` Things happened very fast , '' said Lazor , who was the Dolphins ' offensive coordinator in 2014-15 . And the trend is bad . The Bengals ' run of five straight playoff appearances — and five straight first-round losses — ended last season with a 6-9-1 finish . Three of their top playmakers — A.J . Green , Tyler Eifert and Giovani Bernard — were hurt for much of the season , contributing to a significant slide in the offense . All three are back , and receiver John Ross and running back Joe Mixon were drafted to help fix the issues on offense . Instead , they 've made little positive impact . The offense has been an unmitigated mess , leading to Zampese 's firing . Cincinnati has failed to score a touchdown in 25 possessions , the first NFL team since the 1939 Eagles to open with a pair of home games and fail to get into the end zone . The previous team to open with two home games and so few points was the 1949 Packers . This was supposed to be one of the franchise 's most notable years . The Bengals are celebrating their 50th season by bring back their greatest players for halftime honors at games . The big year got off on a bad foot when linebacker Vontaze Burfict was suspended by the NFL for three games and cornerback Adam `` Pacman '' Jones for one . With two home games to open the season , they were set up for a fast start . Instead , they 've had some of their worst moments and smallest crowds at Paul Brown Stadium . They drew 55,254 for the opener — 10,000 below capacity — had had only 52,942 on Thursday night , their smallest crowd since 2011 . The Bengals decided to go with a young , inexperienced offensive line , and the decision has backfired . Dalton was sacked five times during a 20-0 loss to the Ravens , and he turned the ball over five times . He was under pressure regularly again on Thursday night and missed open receivers , a sign the constant pressure is wearing on him . Ross , who set the 40-yard dash record at the NFL combine , got to carry the ball for the first time on Thursday night and fumbled . He was in for only four more plays . And when the Bengals thought they 'd actually scored a touchdown , it was nullified by a penalty . Eifert stepped out of bounds before catching Dalton 's pass in the end zone , and Cincinnati had to settle for yet another field goal . With games at Green Bay and Cleveland the next two weeks , they 're staring at a bleak season already . `` You never want to start a season this way , '' Dalton said . ___ For more NFL coverage : http : //www.pro32.ap.org and http : //www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

He ’ ll never let go “ This is the victory that overcomes the world—our faith. ” ( I John 5:4 ) Our God is a great God . Writing to Timothy , the Apostle Paul , totally without reservation , declared , “ I know whom I have believed , and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him. ” The little boy had gone swimming in a lake near his house , eager to cool off from the sweltering heat of the South Florida sun . He quickly pulled off shoes , socks and shirt and plunged into the cool water . Swimming toward the center of the lake , he didn ’ t see an alligator swimming toward him . The boy ’ s father was gardening in the back yard and saw that his son was on a collision course with the alligator . Instantly the father ran toward the lake yelling at the top of his lungs . The son heard his father ’ s screams and started swimming back toward the shore , and just as the boy reached the shore the alligator reached the boy and locked its deadly jaws on the boy ’ s legs . On the dock , the father grabbed his little boy by the hands and arms just as the alligator snapped down on the boy ’ s legs . An incredible tug of war ensued between the father and the alligator . The alligator was strong , but the love of the father was stronger . Just as the alligator opened its mouth slightly to take an ever bigger bite on the boy ’ s legs , the father was able to snatch his son away . After weeks and weeks in the hospital the little boy miraculously survived . His legs were terribly scarred from the vicious attack of the alligator . On his arms and hands were black and blue bruises and deep penetrating scratches where his father ’ s vice-like grip and fingernails dug into them . The reporter from the newspaper who interviewed the boy after the trauma was over asked if he would show him his scars . The boy pulled up the legs of his pajamas and then with obvious pride said to the reporter : “ But look at my arms and my hands . My arms and hands have scars on them , too , because my daddy wouldn ’ t let go ! ” Yes , our God is a great God . He has loved us with an everlasting love . He is , indeed , able to keep that which we have committed to him and He will never , ever , let us go ! ” Rev . Nichols is pastor emeritus of First Christian Church in Temple . He writes a religious column for several Texas newspapers , including The Reporter
