The usual outpouring of enthusiastic applause as Peterson walked on stage was conspicuously absent (there was just the polite regular amount, thank-you). Peterson is not a hometown hero, it would seem.

Even shoppers not using Visa have been unable to make purchases, because the network provides payment systems for a range of shops and financial institutions.
Customers have reported arriving at tills to have their cards declined. Retailers say they have been left unable to take payments in shops, bars and other outlets, forcing them to resort to only taking cash or not making sales at all.
The payments look to customers like they are being declined, in the same way as when a card has insufficient funds. But the issues are actually a consequence of the global network of payments run by Visa.

The terrifying dashcam footage shows a blue Volkswagen drive out into London Road, Croydon, forcing a cyclist to swerve to avoid being hit.
With the car stuck in a line of traffic and unable to move, the enraged cyclist pulls a massive blade out and launches a frenzied attack. Brandishing the knife, he kicks the vehicle and slashes at the windows while the driver cowers inside.

The horrific incident, which occured in a small room filled with children inside the mall, was caught on video and published by a Russian investigative committee. People are seen fleeing the scene in panic, helping each other to the exits while the fire rages.
Some 60 people gathered in a room on the crowded third floor of the 'Komsomoll' in the Siberian city Friday. The show for kids featured some chemical experiments, including one with a "small hydrogen explosion."
During the performance some "gas-and-air substance" eventually caught fire, injuring at least eight of the young spectators.
The incident happened on Thursday and was captured on video and uploaded to Twitter. In the video's description, the user, who goes by the handle 1, wrote that the man is known around the area to be mentally challenged.
"Police brutality in broad daylight on Hallandale Beach Blvd," the Twitter user wrote. "Police heavily beat this man up busted his head open led him to bleed heavily. The man is known around the area to be a mentally challenged individual."
As the video begins, the suspect, Daniel Dunkelberger, 27, is seen standing near the police cruiser. The officers are yelling at him to "get on the ground," and he does not immediately comply. So, they begin pummeling him.
The baton cracking off Dunkelberger's head is so loud, it echos on the video. After the heavy blow to his head, Dunkelberger goes down to the ground. Taser wires can be seen, indicating that police had already deployed the taser and as one officer moves them out of the way, he hits the motionless man again for good measure.
Amanda Cozio took photos during the arrest as well, which document her claims.
"He didn't even warn him," the 25-year-old woman said. "He pulled his gun out and shot ... No warning, nothing. The guy didn't do anything. He was sitting there ... For him to be handcuffed and sitting down, why?"
Police have admitted to shooting the unidentified 33-year-old local. However, when asked if he was in handcuffs at the time of the shooting, they chose to remain silent.
While Southwestern Regional Police were there, "an officer fired his service pistol and struck the subject." The man was then taken to York Hospital for treatment, state police said, according to the Evening Sun.

Blokhuis said on Thursday that the Netherlands had a long way to go before it had caught up with the US, where smoking rules are much stricter. He is working together with social organisations, centres of expertise and the health sector to reduce smoking and says a ban on smoking on terraces should be part of a national agreement.
But MPs have now called for a debate with the minister and the hospitality industry lobby group Horeca Nederland said Blokhuis is 'taking the nanny state to extremes'.
'A ban on smoking on cafe terraces is going too far in our eyes,' Christian Democrat MP Anne Kuik said in a reaction. 'It is up to cafe owners themselves to decide whether or not to be smoke-free,' Kuik said.

The green area is located along the western edge of the wealthy 16th arrondissement of Paris, which hosts the home of former president Nicolas Sarkozy, the Parc des Princes arena of PSG football club as well as the Roland Garros tennis stadium where the French Open is currently underway.

When Lawson walked into the Walmart empty-handed, Walmart loss prevention officer Robert McAuley decided he looked suspicious and watched him on the security cameras. He watched Lawson pick up the clothes and return them at the customer service desk. McAuley immediately detained Lawson, who admitted right away that he had stolen the items, and Lawson was eventually charged with shoplifting and criminal trespass. What came next was a startling encounter with a local criminal justice system heavily influenced by a big box retailer's desire to reduce shoplifting and a prosecutor's penchant for punishing those who are more unlucky than dangerous.
Lawson had at least three outstanding warrants, most of which were related to traffic violations, including a DUI. Lawson's attorneys admitted that Lawson had a drug addiction and sometimes shoplifted to support his habit, but noted that he had never been accused of being a threat to anyone's safety. Because of the outstanding warrants, his bail was set at $2,500 total, and he was immediately taken to jail. On 9 January, a warrant was issued for Lawson that escalated his shoplifting charge to a felony because, according to the arrest affidavit, Lawson was not allowed to be inside Walmart at all. Therefore his return fraud was a burglary - a felony punishable by up to 12 years of prison. His bail was jacked up to $5,000.
Comment: Rising theft is also a commentary on the degrading economic conditions supporting the needs of the middle and lower echelons of US society. What the government spends on incarceration and legal fees per year could go a long way to triage the loss of income to the poor.

"Why aren't they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show?," the president tweeted on Friday. "A total double standard but that's O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!"
Bee, who hosts TBS' 'Full Frontal', made her vulgar comments after Ivanka Trump shared an innocuous snap of herself hugging her baby son on Twitter. She had been criticized for posting the photo amid reports that the Office of Refugee Resettlement managed to lose track of 1,500 migrant children in the last three months of 2017.
