Opioid Dealers Embrace the Dark Web to Send Deadly Drugs by Mail In late February, a man in South Carolina was accused of receiving more than three kilograms of fentanyl ordered on the dark net — or enough to kill 1.5 million adults, given that just two milligrams is a lethal dose. A few weeks later in New Jersey, authorities arrested Chukwuemeka Okparaeke, who allegedly went by the screen name of Fentmaster on AlphaBay. He had received two kilograms of fentanyl from an address in Hong Kong, according to a criminal complaint. Then in April, a Cleveland man, Alec Steinberger, 21, was arrested and accused of receiving a package of furanyl fentanyl that he was preparing to sell on the streets. He is said to have texted a 19-year-old who was helping him distribute the drugs to warn about their strength. “Bro I did it last night any my pupils got so small they disappeared and then I was nodding for 18 hrs,” the text said, according to the indictment. When the 19-year-old tried t
Apple's Cook tells MIT graduates: temper technology with humanity By Ross Kerber | CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Apple CEO Tim Cook on Friday warned graduates at MIT, a pioneer in fields like computers and robots, about technology's dehumanizing aspects and urged them to infuse its development with their own values. "I’m not worried about artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to think like humans," Cook said in his commencement speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "I'm more concerned about people thinking like computers, without values or compassion, without concern for consequence." Speaking to thousands of students and their families at MIT's Cambridge, Massachusetts, campus, Cook praised the benefits of new devices and social media. But he also cautioned that the same technologies can divide people through threats to privacy or security, and said technology must be tempered with human knowledge. "Technology is cap

Too many exams, too little sport: experts discuss barriers to participation Children today are 'too busy' for sport, experts have argued. Photo: Caters By Rosa Silverman 4:06PM BST 09 Aug 2012 :: Lack of understanding of sports by teachers Not every PE teacher understands every sport. Some sports, such as hockey, may appear too complicated to teachers, who are consequently deterred from teaching them, according to England Hockey. “Hockey is sometimes seen as a technical sport because of all the rules,” Holly Woodford, the organisation’s development director, said. “People do not always understand why the umpire’s blowing the whistle when they watch it. We have tried to make it easier for teachers to teach hockey in schools by launching packages to explain the game to them.” Only half of all secondary schools teach the sport, partly due to limited budgets, she said. It is cheaper to buy one football for 30 pupils than 30 hockey sticks. But the
Quincy Enunwa sees this big change in John Morton's Jets offense CARLSTADT -- The Jets are through just six of 10 organized team activities practices, but wide receiver Quincy Enunwa has already noticed a big difference in the team's offense.  The past two seasons, under coordinator Chan Gailey, the Jets' receivers had more opportunities to freelance and change their routes than they do now under the team's new coordinator, John Morton. This is something quarterback Bryce Petty also recently mentioned.  "Last year, we were able to kind of switch up what the route was," Enunwa told NJ Advance Media on Saturday. "You could kind of do certain things. But with this offense, you've really got to do what you're told. You've got to do exactly what is given to you. And when you do, plays are made."  Enunwa spoke at ex-Jets and current Giants receiver Brandon Marshall's Receiver Factory youth football camp, held at Capelli Sport Cent

Judge surprised by sport definition A High Court judge who follows football and likes cricket has said he is surprised that an official definition of sport does not regard competition as a "necessary ingredient". Mr Justice Mostyn - who lists his recreations as "Southampton FC, Wagner and skiing" and is a member of the MCC - has raised an eyebrow in a ruling after being asked to consider whether bridge is a "sport". He had been referred to the Council of Europe's 1993 European Sports Charter when analysing a dispute between the English Bridge Union and Sport England. "The European Charter 1993 says ... 'Sport means all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well being, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels'," explained the judge. "What is to be noted about that definition is that a
