Oakland Police Assistant Chief Howard Jordan said the suspect, Devaughndre Broussard, a 19-year-old associate of the group that runs the Oakland-based Your Black Muslim Bakery, has confessed to fatally shooting the 57-year-old Oakland Post editor. Jordan said Broussard apparently was upset about a story Bailey was working on involving the group's finances, although he would not go into details. He also said police don't believe Broussard acted alone, but investigators are still piecing together how the plan was developed. Authorities said Broussard likely will be charged on Tuesday. Charges are also expected against two other affiliates of the group, but they involve a kidnapping and robbery that took place in May in Oakland. The three were among seven people arrested Friday, a day after Bailey's slaying, during law-enforcement raids at the bakery and three other locations. The business was subsequently shut down by county health inspectors because of unsanitary conditions discovered during the raid. The raids on the bakery organization, founded nearly 40 years ago with a mission to empower Oakland's poor, capped off a yearlong investigation into an alleged series of violent crimes police said were connected to the group. The group's 21-year-old chief executive officer, Yusuf Bey IV, son of the bakery's founder, was arrested on an outstanding assault warrant issued for an April 2006 incident in which he allegedly struck a bouncer with his BMW after being thrown out of a San Francisco strip club. Bey also pleaded not guilty last year to charges he was the ringleader of a Black Muslim group caught by surveillance cameras in November 2005 smashing up two Oakland liquor stores for selling alcohol to the black community. Bailey was a longtime reporter for the Oakland Tribune before becoming editor of the Post, a weekly newspaper geared toward the Bay Area black community, earlier this year. Witnesses said he was ambushed Thursday morning as he walked to work in downtown Oakland. A man wearing a mask shot Bailey three times and then fled. The brazenness of the attack shocked many, prompting calls for community mobilization against violence in the city. "The public has every right to be upset because he was an innocent man trying to write a story to educate the public on the things that were happening in an organization that they have the right to know," Jordan said. | e8210503-f376-5041-90f3-267e4399726f | 05/19/25 |

How can I make sure I don’t get hit with a huge cell phone bill?</p><p>A: One solution is both easy and sustainable, and it works in most foreign countries: You buy an “unlocked” smartphone, and when you arrive at the airport, you have a local SIM card installed. You can usually find a booth at the airport, where agents are ready and waiting to provide you with service; they’ll ask you how long you’re in the country, and they’ll explain different packages to you. When a friend recently visited Taiwan, he brought an old iPhone and was able to secure two weeks of unlimited data for less than $20. This is very convenient, especially if you travel often. But if you already have an international data plan and want to use it responsibly, make sure you change one thing. <a href="https://www.komando.com/tips/588083/change-this-smartphone-setting-to-save-big-money-while-traveling" target="_blank">Tap or click here for the smartphone setting that could save you big money</a>.</p><div class="ad-container tablet ad-h-50 ad-w-300"><div class="ad gam" data-iu="lb4" id="tablet-tw-ad-lb4"></div> <script>

Understand, 4K TVs are pretty amazing, and the picture quality can shock and amaze. The Ks have only gone up from there, such as 8K resolution, but it's hard to say whether this improves the visual experience for the typical viewer. Much of this gear is designed for enthusiasts, and streaming services like Netflix provide a decent picture but can hardly match the quality your screen is capable of. In short, you may want to wait a little bit longer, because HDR is about to expand into consumer television sets. You've probably seen those letters before; this is a file type that you can likely use on your phone's camera. But what it is exactly?

With all the data breaches, is there anything I can do to protect myself from getting scammed? A: You are absolutely right, and it’s no exaggeration to say that 2019 has been a landmark year for data breaches. You have sensed this already; new hacks are announced almost every week, and some targets are major financial institutions. Car manufacturers and medical companies have also fallen victim. Nearly as frightening as the data theft itself is not knowing what data was stolen. There are ways to protect yourself, or at least mitigate the damage, but you should act soon. Tap or click here to see a list of the significant data breaches so far this year. Stop Spam Texts Q: I'm not sure what's worse, robocalls, or spammy text messages! How can I block spam text messages from taking over my phone? A: Spam texts are quickly becoming an epidemic in their own right, inundating cell phones with useless or misleading correspondence. Phone carriers are finally taking this threat seriously and attempting to track down and diminish the “robo” market. Still, limiting the number of texts you receive remains a challenge, and some people don’t realize how many defenses they have at their disposal, such as blocking numbers, texting STOP to the number in question, or filing a complaint with the FTC. Tap or click here to block spam text messages. Overseas Phone Service Q: In a few months, the wife and I are taking a trip to Rome. How can I make sure I don’t get hit with a huge cell phone bill? A: One solution is both easy and sustainable, and it works in most foreign countries: You buy an “unlocked” smartphone, and when you arrive at the airport, you have a local SIM card installed. You can usually find a booth at the airport, where agents are ready and waiting to provide you with service; they’ll ask you how long you’re in the country, and they’ll explain different packages to you. When a friend recently visited Taiwan, he brought an old iPhone and was able to secure two weeks of unlimited data for less than $20. This is very convenient, especially if you travel often. But if you already have an international data plan and want to use it responsibly, make sure you change one thing. Tap or click here for the smartphone setting that could save you big money.

There are around 4,000 items, most of which are military pieces. The discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard came in 2009. A metal detectorist was scanning farmland in the village of Hammerwich in England when his detector signaled a find. What was found buried in the soil turned out to be monumental. Over the following days, the metal detectorist began to pick up pieces of a collection that would later be known as the Staffordshire Hoard. He later contacted a finds liaison officer for the Staffordshire and West Midlands Portable Antiquities Scheme for further assistance, according to Ancient Origins. COLLEGE STUDENT IN DENMARK USES METAL DETECTOR TO DISCOVER ANCIENT JEWELRY With permission from the landowner, a full excavation was conducted. Birmingham Archeology later joined in to assist, according to the source. After the items were collected, a 10-year conservation and research project was in pursuit. The findings of the project were published in 2019 in the book "The Staffordshire Hoard: An Anglo-Saxon Treasure" and online. During this period, ancient objects found were carefully cleaned and x-rays were taken, according to Birmingham Museums. IRISH FARMER FINDS NEAR 60-POUND SLAB OF ANCIENT BOG BUTTER ON HIS LAND BY ‘PURE LUCK’ Another part of this effort was to begin matching fragments that belonged to the same object because many of the items were found in incomplete parts. Through detailed research, there has been so much knowledge gained about this collection, including when it dates back to, but there are still questions unanswered. Archaeologists believe the collection was buried during the 7th century (650-675 AD), according to Birmingham Museums. Many objects that have been discovered from the time period have been jewelry, specifically brooches and pendants, according to the Stoke Museums. RARE ANCIENT CELTIC ARTIFACT IN POLAND, 2,300-YEAR-OLD METAL OBJECT EXCAVATED FROM CHARCOAL PIT An element of the Staffordshire Hoard's uniqueness is that it is mostly made up of war gear, according to Stoke Museums. One of the Staffordshire Hoard's most valuable items is an ancient war helmet. The helmet was far from complete when it was discovered because it was broken into 1,000 pieces, according to Stoke Museums. During the days when the helmet was completed, it likely sat atop the head of a king. After months of research, there were two replicas of the helmet created, one of which is on display at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent and the other at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. MOM, SONG DIG UP ANCIENT OBJECT OFTEN FOUND NEAR BURIAL GROUNDS WHILE GARDENING Fragmented pieces make up the majority of the Staffordshire Hoard, which put together equals 700 items, according to Birmingham Museums.

The U.S. military insisted the battle was a victory that will help secure fall elections — rather than a sign of the resilience of Taliban-led militants. Two Marines were wounded in the fighting, the military said. "The Marines have been aggressive, relentless and successful," U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Tucker Mansager said. "They have demonstrated that there is no refuge for the terrorists." Some 2,000 Marines were sent to Afghanistan this spring, swelling the U.S.-dominated force to 20,000 — its largest yet — in an attempt to put rebels on the defensive ahead of September elections. Militants have stepped up their own operations, feeding a spiral of violence that has left more than 450 people dead across the country this year. Troops elsewhere had come under rocket and mortar fire several times in recent days but suffered no casualties, Mansager said. In another operation, U.S. troops on Friday detained an expert bombmaker about 40 miles south of Kabul, Mansager said. He described the suspect as a "medium-value target" but declined to give more details. The U.S. military and international peacekeepers based in Kabul have warned since last year that militants are increasingly using the kind of roadside bombs that have proved so deadly in Iraq. Seven U.S. serviceman have been killed in southern Afghanistan (search) since early May — including four when a mine ripped through their Humvee — and dozens of Afghan soldiers have died in the region this year. The Marines are based in Uruzgan Province, the home of fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Omar (search), and have called in warplanes to pound a large group of militants in nearby mountains. Most of the fighting has been near Daychopan (search), in neighboring Zabul province, a rerun of clashes last summer that left more than 100 militants and one American special operations soldier dead. Mansager said the Marines' offensive was allowing regular Army troops to focus on building ties with local communities across the troubled border region. Commanders hope this approach, which includes millions of dollars in reconstruction aid, will persuade villagers and tribes to turn against the militants and provide intelligence. It also is supposed to help safeguard the elections. The United Nations has registered nearly one-third of the estimated 10 million voters but has yet to send voter registration teams into the most hostile areas. Eleven rockets were fired at a convoy of U.N., government and American military officials in a lawless region near the Pakistani border on Friday, injuring no one. | 3dfeb30c-0a8c-50ef-9252-18f853612ac4 | 05/19/25 |
