A 91-year-old Brooklyn man died, possibly from shock, Wednesday after cruel home invaders tied him and his 99-year-old wife up in their home. The woman told police that at about 3:15 p.m., she felt someone come up behind her and throw a blanket over her head in their three-story house on Decatur St. near Marcus Garvey Blvd. in Bedford-Stuyvesant. She said four men had somehow gotten into the house. They also tied up her husband. “The house was not ransacked. We’re still trying to determine if anything was taken,” a law enforcement source said. “At the very least, it’s someone they knew.” After they left, she freed herself and called 911. The terrifying incident caused the husband to fall unconscious, and he later died at Interfaith Medical Center. “She has no idea that her husband has died,” the source said. There was no forced entry into the home, sources said. Mike Rippey stood among pieces of metal, porcelain and other remnants of the California home where his 100-year-old father and 98-year-old mother had died in the raging wine country wildfires. Rippey said Tuesday his brother had discovered their bodies after driving to the home and managing to get past security. He said his father, Charles, appeared to be heading to the room of his mother, Sara, when he was overcome by the smoke and flames. “My father certainly wouldn’t have left her,” Mike Rippey said. The couple had met in grade school in Wisconsin and been together ever since, celebrating their 75th anniversary last year. Rippey, 71, said he and his siblings couldn’t imagine how either parent would have navigated life if just one had survived the flames. “We knew there’s no way they would ever be happy, whoever was the last one. So they went together, and that’s the way it worked,” he said stoically. In the charred remains of the home, only metal and porcelain survived to testify to the couple’s long life together. There were coffee cups along a low sill; two metal chairs, side by side by a patio table; and a porcelain tea set of white and soft washes of blue, some pieces still intact. Charles Rippey — nicknamed “Peach” as a toddler for his chubby cheeks — and his wife were among the 17 victims who have died in the fierce, fast-moving fires that started Sunday and raged through neighborhoods. None of the other victims had been identified. Authorities are expecting other older people to be among the dead, who like the Rippeys might not have been able to move fast enough to beat the flames. Mike Rippey said his mother had previously suffered a stroke.

Prinze, 38, was all smiles in a series of before-and-after photos he posted on Twitter, showing off the surgical scar on his neck and even suggesting nicknames for himself, including Robo-Bro, Brobot and the Iron Android. Sporting a neck brace and a big grin in a photo posted Wednesday, he captioned a snap of himself outdoors “#KeepItPlayful Learnin to walk again is like learning jiu-jitsu – 1 technique at a time.” Continuing his road to recovery, on Friday, he posted another smiling shot after completing a three-mile walk.

Two teenage boys plotted to “get rid” of a 14-year-old girl because her texts and Snapchats annoyed one of them, according to authorities. The two 16-year-old boys, who have not been identified, are now facing attempted aggravated murder charges for allegedly shooting 14-year-old Deserae Turner in Logan, Utah. Cache County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Groves testified Tuesday at a preliminary hearing that the boys lured Deserae on Feb. 16 to a canal, where she was shot in the head and left for dead. Deserae was not found until the next day after her family reported her missing, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. She survived the shooting, but was critically injured and remains hospitalized. In an interview, one suspect told Groves that they came up with the plan for the attack while playing video games. The teen said the murder plot started as a joke when he remarked that he wanted to get rid of Deserae because he “got tired” of her contacting him. But then his friend said, “It would be pretty easy to get rid of her.” The two friends began plotting to kill her by either using a knife to slit her throat or shooting her, according to Groves. She met them at the canal Feb. 16 on the pretense of buying a knife. When she turned around, one of the boys shot her in the back of the head, the Desert News reported. A juvenile court ruled Tuesday that there was sufficient evidence for one of the 16-year-olds’ trials to proceed. The other teen is scheduled to appear Wednesday in court. In addition to the attempted murder charges, the two 16-year-olds are both accused of aggravated robbery and obstruction of justice.

Judge refuses to grant bail to ex-model who claimed self-defense after fatal Brooklyn stabbing BY CHRISTINA CARREGA NEW YORK DAILY NEWS A Brooklyn judge refused to grant bail Wednesday to a former model who maintains he was acting in self-defense when he fatally stabbed a man he’d met on the online dating app Jack’d. David Keegan Riotto Haigh, 42, has been jailed on Rikers Island for six months since being charged with stabbing James Johnson to death inside a fourth-floor apartment at the Ingersoll Houses. “The prosecutors only presented to the bail-fixing court the charges and that Mr. Johnson was stabbed 20 times,” Haigh’s attorney, Thomas H. Andrykovitz, argued Wednesday. Andrykovitz said bail is justified because Haigh has never veered from his story that he acted in self-defense, telling investigators in a 90-minute videotaped statement soon after the slaying that he felt threatened after Johnson demanded sex. Haigh and Johnson, 41, met on Jack’d and had spent the weekend of April 9 partying with a group of people the victim also met on the hook-up app. “My client was in fear for his life and was scared to pull out his phone out to call the police. He texted a friend twice at 5:02 a.m., ‘911, 911’ before the fight that ended in Mr. Johnson’s death,” said Andrykovitz, who obtained the text messages from Haigh’s friend. Unbeknownst to Haigh, his online lover was under investigation by the NYPDfor criminal sex act charges stemming from a similar attack on a 25-year-old man inside the fourth-floor apartment nine days earlier, according to court documents. Assistant District Attorney Timothy Gough conceded that Haigh did claim self-defense in a taped statement and was also injured during the attack. Johnson was stabbed 18 times and had 21 lacerations, the prosecutor said. Haigh was indicted on second-degree murder and weapons possession charges and faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. “When police arrived at the apartment, the door was barricaded and the defendant was sitting on top of the victim...he indicated he was using drugs,” said Gough, who argued against bail for the Philadelphia man who has no ties to the state and is self-employed. Andrykovitz argued that he’d established a stable New York address: If bail were set, Haigh planned to live in a Brooklyn Heights apartment owned by Marc Carpentier, a former assistant budget commissioner for the Department of Correction and a longtime friend of Haigh. The judge denied the attorney’s request, noting that the grand jury heard his client’s claims of self-defense and still indicted Haigh for intentional murder charges. Haigh is expected back in court on Dec. 1. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3555739.1507739530!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/bkstab12n-2-web.jpg James Johnson http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3555740.1507739531!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/bkstab12n-1-web.jpg David Keegan Riotto Haigh

Teen accused of raping neighbor allegedly asked if he could do yard work to make it up to her Fearing for her life, the woman tried to convince the suspect she did not know him. He told her that he "could not imagine leaving two kids without a mother because his mother passed away" when he was 12. Walding would later reveal himself to her by taking off his mask, according to cops. When she asked him how he got into the house, he said, "you really should deadbolt your door because I didn’t really want to do this, but I had to do it," according to the affadavit. He also told her he was going to serve in the military so "it would not be awkward" living next to each other. Walding also asked if he could "make this up to her" by doing some yard work by fixing something around her house. She said "no." He is facing multiple charges, including three counts of sexual assault. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3555624.1507736031!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/florida.jpg

Am I alone already missing the summer? Hell, yes!!! I've been praying for the next Ice Age all of my life. Any day above 75 degrees is a bad day.

Desperate to avoid a winner-take-all Game 5 in this American League Division Series, the Houston Astros asked ace Justin Verlander to do something Monday that he hadn't done as a professional or in college. It didn't work out well. With the Astros leading by one run and trying to close out the Boston Red Sox in the best-of-five series, Verlander warmed up in the bullpen and made the first relief appearance of his career with one out and a runner on first base in the fifth inning. The first batter he faced, Red Sox rookieAndrew Benintendi, belted a two-run homer to right field to swing the score -- and perhaps the series -- in Boston's favor and prompt taunts of "Jus-tin! Jus-tin!" from the crowd at Fenway Park. Regardless of the outcome, the move was bound to bring scrutiny upon Astros manager A.J. Hinch. Verlander was the winning pitcher in Game 1 and was lined up to start Game 5, if necessary, Wednesday night in Houston. Asking the 34-year-old right-hander to do something he hasn't done in 402 major league appearances (including postseason), 22 minor league outings and 42 games in college at Old Dominion will likely be perceived as a panic move by Hinch. The Red Sox also made unconventional moves with their bullpen, bringing in ace Chris Sale in relief of starter Rick Porcello in the top of the fourth inning. But Sale has extensive experience as a reliever, having started his major league career in the bullpen with the Chicago White Sox in 2010 and 2011. Also, with the Red Sox on the brink of elimination, they had to be more concerned with winning Game 4 than planning for a potential Game 5. Fortunately, it all worked out in the end, as Verlander shut down the Sox through the end of the seventh inning, helping the Astros to eliminate the Bosox:p:D:), proving once again that Big Pappy let down the organization and the fans when he failed to pass on his PED dealer's name to the next generation of Red Sox sluggers(???) after his retirement.

The President Trump stock market rally is close to becoming the greatest in 85 years. Since Election Day, the Dow Jones industrial average has surged 24.7 percent — fueled in large part by investor enthusiasm for Trump’s plans to cut regulations and taxes and bring back manufacturing jobs. Barring a large sell-off over the next month, Trump’s Dow rally will surpass the 23.3 percent gain the much-watched stock index posted in the year following the election of President George H.W. Bush. The Trump rally, beginning its 12th month today, is compared to the one-year Dow record starting on Election Day. You’d have to go back to FDR, first elected in 1932 as the US started to recover from the Great Depression, to see a larger jump. The Dow rose 54.9 percent following Election Day that year. What’s more, surveys of business confidence are at an all-time high — something the tweeting president sees as a personal conquest. “Business is looking better than ever with business enthusiasm at record levels. Stock Market at an all-time high. That doesn’t just happen!” Trump tweeted on Aug. 3. Some observers, though, are hard-pressed to point to the reasons behind the historic runup — especially when Trump often targets business leaders with criticism. “When I think back on the whole year, the forecast versus the fulfillment, I don’t think the Trump administration has done anything,” Sam Stovall, an analyst at CFRA, told The Post. “Other than maybe reduce a couple of regulations, or at least lower the bar on regulation, nothing’s happened.” Other major indexes have also seen huge surges this year. The S&P 500, a broader gauge of US companies, has risen 19.2 percent since Election Day. The Nasdaq has surged the most, 26.9 percent, driven largely by Apple and Amazon — two companies that Trump has publicly attacked. The Trump tax plan, which may face a rough road to being law of the land in its current form, is aiming to slash nominal tax rates for corporations from about 40 percent to about 20 percent, as well lower taxes that would incentivize companies like Apple to move profits abroad back to the US. “We believe we can have 3-plus percent growth with taxes and the regulation reform that we’re after now,” Gary Cohn, Trump’s top economic adviser, told Bloomberg TV on Friday. The US didn’t have a single year with 3 percent growth in gross domestic product under President Obama. Investors like tax cuts for foreign money because companies tend to spend that money on stock buybacks, which often lifts share prices. Of course, stocks could collapse at any time, though it’s hard to imagine when. On Thursday, the VIX, known as Wall Street’s fear index, hit its lowest level ever — an indication that investors are keeping their chips in the game. Since Election Day, the Dow has surged an average of 2 percent a month, closing at 22,773.67 on Friday. If the bull market maintains its pace, the Dow could rise above 23,200 by Nov. 8 — marking a gain of about 5,100 points.

Of all the mistakes people make when speaking, either grammatical or misquoting expressions, the one that most drives me up the wall is when somebody says, "I could care less..." about something. THAT MAKES NO SENSE! If you could care less about something, that means you DO care about it, at least a little bit, and it is possible that something could make you care even less than you currently do. HOWEVER, when you use the correct expression, "I COULDN'T CARE LESS..." it means that nothing in the world could cause you to care any less, because you already care as little as is humanly possible for you to care. GOD, I NEEDED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST!!!

DEAR ABBY: I am a bridesmaid for my brother's upcoming wedding. However, his fiancee is throwing out some crazy mandates for the big day. 1. All family members must wear contact lenses. Glasses will not be allowed because they look ugly in pictures. (Both her mom and my parents wear glasses.) 2. She made my father get dental work to "improve his smile." 3. I recently tore my ACL, and she says I can't bring crutches to the ceremony because she doesn't want them in the pictures. How much more of this should our family put up with? I love her as my niece's mother, but not as my future sister-in-law. Would it be better to tell them I won't be a bridesmaid? I am afraid to speak up because I want a relationship with my niece. -- AFRAID OF BRIDEZILLA DEAR AFRAID: Your brother's fiancee appears to have gone off the deep end. Weddings are supposed to be about love, commitment and the joining together of two families, not the photo album. While I sympathize with her desire for a "perfect" wedding, the idea that your parents and her mother must invest in contact lenses or miss seeing the ceremony and reception because glasses aren't "allowed" is ludicrous. And the suggestion that you leave your crutches and risk further damaging your ACL is off the charts. Talk to your brother. Perhaps he can make his ladylove see the light. If not, I wouldn't blame you -- and your parents and her mother, by the way -- if you decided to skip the "show." DEAR AFRAID: Your sister-in-law-to-be is a FUCKING LOON. Tell your brother to grab his daughter and run for the hills! DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Jason," and I have a 19-year-old daughter, "Laurie," who finished her freshman year of college with a 4.0 GPA. She has always been a great student and is interested in theater, music and dance. She has never given us any trouble. My husband is very conservative and opinionated about politics. Our daughter has become much more politically liberal over the last couple of years. Jason thinks it is disrespectful of her to not want to listen to him try to influence her to think like he does (he has tried before). I have told Jason she needs to work out her own political beliefs and, as she matures and sees how the business world works, she'll probably become more moderate. Jason is now insisting that we set a time when "the three of us can talk," which means he will lecture her about where she is wrong. What can I do as a mother and wife to mediate this meeting? I think both of them are pretty dug in. -- LOVE THEM BOTH IN ARKANSAS DEAR LOVE: I see no way that what your husband has in mind will be either pleasant or productive. However, because he is her father, Laurie owes him the respect of hearing him out. When the conversation becomes heated -- as it very well may -- suggest a timeout until they both cool down. Or leave the room if it becomes too stressful for you. DEAR LOVE: Your husband is a FUCKING LOON. Grab your daughter and run for the hills!

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is incredibly close to his family. They grew up very poor in Athens and relied on each other — at points Giannis used to have to work selling trinkets during the day to feed the family at night — which is part of why the family was so tight. They remain close, and Giannis — who is very proud he can provide for them — has brought his entire family over from Greece to Milwaukee. Which is why this news is especially sad: Charles Antetokounmpo, Giannis’ father, passed away Friday from a heart attack at age 54. “The Bucks family is heartbroken about the sudden death of Giannis’ father, Charles,” the Bucks said in a statement. “The entire organization, his teammates and coaches are here to support Giannis and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Charles was a big part of the Bucks and will be terribly missed by us all. On behalf of ownership, we express our utmost condolences and offer our prayers to Giannis and his family.” Charles leaves behind his wife, Veronica, and five children, including former Knick Thanasis (who was playing in the Greek league but is flying to the United States for the funeral, which will be in Milwaukee.
