Esther Arunga's husband, Quincy Timberlake, arrested and charged with murder of his three years old son

The husband of former TV anchor Esther Arunga was on Tuesday charged with the murder of the couple’s three-year-old son. Australian detectives arrested Mr Quincy Timberlake over the death on June 18 this year. The boy, whose name was given as Sinclair, was reported to have died after falling down the stairs but police said a postmortem showed injuries that were not consistent with a fall.
 The Kenyan family lives in Kallangur, north of Brisbane. On June 25, the couple was taken from their home for questioning, a week after their son died on June 18. The couple told the police that the child had been playing with his two-year-old brother when he fell down the stairs.

On Tuesday, Australian newspapers reported that the police charged Mr Timberlake after analysing the “significant” internal injuries that the boy had sustained before he died. Ms Arunga’s parents told the Nation that they had not communicated with their daughter or her husband for three years.
“She has not called me to inform me of anything. I even heard the news of their son’s death from the media. I do not know any other thing,” Mrs Petroline Arunga said. Mr Timberlake’s mother, Rosemeg Wambita, said she was not even aware that her son was arrested on Tuesday.
“I have not spoken with him and he did not even tell me anything about their son’s death. I am very sad and I just want to condole with him and support him but I cannot,” she said, adding that she was seeking to contact the Kenyan High Commission to be connected to her son.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Release Date & Price Unknown, Specs & Features Announced At IFA 2014

Samsung has announced the new Galaxy Note 4 phablet that boasts a brand new 5.7in QHD display. Samsung has announced the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phablet at an event in Berlin. The pre-IFA 2014 press conference confirmed the brand new phablet that builds on the design of the Galaxy Note 3 but boasts a bunch of new features and specs.
The Galaxy Note brand first emerged in 2011 with the announcement of the original Galaxy Note. The massive handset, being something of an oddity back then, was met with a fair bit of derision. However, it was also met with plenty of enthusiasm by consumers, rapidly establishing the validity of the phablet concept. Samsung has since followed on with several new iterations and each has sold very well indeed. Other manufacturers have attempted their own take on the phablet idea, but it's fair to say Samsung still leads the way with arguably the most successful phablet launches overall.
 The Galaxy Note 4 comes with a 5.7in QHD AMOLED display with a pixel resolution of 2560 x 1440. It has a pixel density of over 500ppi matching up to that of the LG G3. It’s the first Galaxy Note handset to come with a metal frame and there’s a 2.5D glass front and removable faux leather rear cover. The 2.5D glass front is Samsung’s own slightly bevelled front panel, the edges and corners come out from the phone to give the impression the screen is floating.
Samsung has announced two different models for the Galaxy Note 4. The first comes with Samsung’s very own Exynos 5433 octa-core CPU that includes four cores running at 1.9GHz and another four at 1.3GHz.

The second version comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core chip clocked at 2.7GHz. The phone runs Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI over the top. Both versions of the Note 4 come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage as standard. There’s also microSD card support.

The camera on the back has jumped up to a 16MP sensor, the same one we saw on the Galaxy S5. Optical image stabilisation has been added to the mix and there’s the ability to capture 4K video. The front facing camera has a 3.7MP sensor.
The S Pen stylus returns for the Galaxy Note 4 (it wouldn’t be a Note without it) with some worthy improvements. The pressure sensitivity had 1024 levels on the Galaxy Note 3 but the Note 4 comes with 2048 pressure levels, so expect writing and drawing to be more responsive and accurate.
A new Smart Select menu has been added to the existing Air Command menu and it now allows you to select multiple options at the same time.
The Galaxy Note 3 is available in four colours, frosted white, charcoal black, bronze gold and blossom pink. It doesn’t look like there will be a blue version as there was of the Galaxy S5, although we all know manufacturers like adding new variants post-launch.
There’s no word on a release date just yet, but we can be fairly certain it will arrive in time for Christmas. If it follows the same way as the Galaxy Note 3 did it may be with us by the end of the month or the first week of October. The price is also unknown right now, and we are yet to here which processor models will hit which regions. Naturally we will keep you updated as Samsung reveals more.

By Refusing to Buy His Excuses, NFL Is Saving Josh Gordon

To understand why Josh Gordon's appeal was denied (per Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports 1), and why he will sit out one full calendar year, you first have to understand the man who ostensibly made the Gordon decision: Harold Henderson.

I've known Henderson since he came into the NFL decades ago. I broke the story of Henderson joining the league when I was working at The Washington Post. I know him well and respect him a great deal. I knew Gordon's appeal would be rejected because I know Henderson.
Not because Henderson is unfair—he's the opposite. Henderson is easily one of the most decent, intelligent and fair men I've ever known. He's a graduate of Harvard Law School and has been a part of every aspect of NFL life. He's dealt with the union, players, coaches, owners—everyone. There isn't a part of NFL existence over the past 25 years that Henderson hasn't touched and, mostly, made better.
But I knew Gordon's appeal was doomed because Henderson isn't a man who believes in excuses. The A-sample, B-sample stuff doesn't fly with someone like Henderson. You must also remember that Henderson was instrumental in negotiating with the union many aspects of the modern drug policy. Henderson knows the policy, the rules—all of it—better than almost anyone.
This is what I think Henderson saw: a guy who broke the rules, a guy who's been busted smoking pot going back to college, several times, and got caught again.
I also believe, knowing Henderson, that a part of him believed Josh Gordon needed to be disciplined this way, because he needed saving.
It's just pot. I get that. And I get that pot is nothing compared to the Toradol players inject into their bodies and that Ray Rice got two games for knocking his then-fiancee unconscious. Yet while the appearance of a guy beating up a woman and getting two measly games while Gordon smokes weed and gets a year is bad, those are the rules. The drug punishments are automatic triggers. This is the way of the NFL. Adapt or get busted.
But I also think Gordon was heading down a potentially dangerous path. Gordon knew that if he smoked weed, he was gone, yet weed was in his system. You can believe the secondhand smoke excuse all you want, but Gordon's track record with pot is long. As one league official explained to me: Gordon doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.
And what's also lost in all of this is that Gordon recently was arrested for driving under the influence. That part of Gordon's history is conveniently forgotten by his supporters.
Cleveland fans are blaming the NFL, yet the Browns made a series of mistakes with Gordon. They knew that Gordon faced suspension but failed to draft a wide receiver in anticipation of probable discipline. Then they let Gordon take practice reps away from others, again knowing there was a good chance Gordon was gone.
Pages 24-25 of the substance abuse policy outline the procedures for an appeal. It's extremely complex stuff and very time-consuming. The Browns have known for months Gordon was suspended pending appeal, yet they did nothing to prepare for this possibility. That's not the NFL's fault. 
It also seems as if Gordon was unable to stop smoking pot despite knowing that smoking it would lead to the temporary termination of his career. Throw in the alleged DWI, and it's not insane to say that Henderson may have saved more than Gordon's football life. He may have saved his career, and he may have saved much more.
Gordon still doesn't seem to get it. "I'd like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Cleveland Browns organization and our fans," he said in a statement released through the union. "I am very disappointed that the NFL and its hearing office didn't exercise better discretion and judgment in my case."
He's still blaming others for him having pot in his system.
Maybe the year away from football will allow Gordon to enter rehab and put things in perspective. Again, the NFL should revisit its marijuana policies—allowing players to use it for medicinal reasons—but I think Gordon had a problem, and his pot use, combined with a DWI, indicated something worse than a dude who just smoked a few blunts.
Henderson was strict when it came to some of the NFL's policies, but he was also compassionate. At one point he ran the rookie symposium, where current and former players speak to incoming rookies about the rigors and possible pitfalls of NFL life. What I remember about Henderson was that he wanted players to constantly learn: what it was like to be a better player, better man, better father.
I think Henderson's decision will help Gordon do just that—save Gordon from himself.

'Sons of Guns' canceled after star Will Hayden arrested for allegedly repeatedly raping minor

Sons of Guns” star Will Hayden has been arrested again, this time for aggravated rape, according to documents sent to FOX411 by the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.
The allegations have prompted the cancellation of his Discovery Channel series.
“Given the serious and horrific nature of the charges against Will Hayden, we have decided to halt further production of 'Sons of Guns' and cancel the series," the network said in a statement. 
Hayden is accused of raping a minor “almost daily” since March 2013 and taking her virginity when she was 11 years old. TMZ reports the girl is Hayden’s daughter.  
During an interview with detectives, the alleged victim said she did not report the sexual abuse because she was afraid Hayden would hurt her. The most recent abuse of the now-12-year-old girl occurred during July 2014, according to the documents. 

According to police documents, the alleged victim claims that Hayden told her “don’t tell them nothing because I’m all you got.”
Hayden was booked on Wednesday and his bail is set at $250,000. There was a warrant out for Hayden’s arrest, and The Times-Picayune reports he was apprehended in Livingston as a fugitive from East Baton Rouge.
Discovery Channel’s reality show “Sons of Guns” follows Hayden and his Red Jacket Firearms company, which buys, sells, designs and rebuilds firearms.
The company distanced itself from the reality star on Tuesday, posting a statement on its website.
“Red Jacket Firearms LLC has initiated and received full legal separation as an entity, from William M. Hayden,” the statement read. “With heavy hearts, we will be continuing to operate and ensure the fulfillment of new customer orders, back orders and to provide support to those affected by these new developments.”
Earlier this month, on Aug. 9, Hayden was arrested for molestation of a juvenile and aggravated crimes against nature. He posted his $150,000 bond and was released. At the time, his lawyer told FOX411 the charges were stemmed from a conflict with a fired ex-employee who was seeking revenge.
His lawyer did not respond immediately to a separate request for comment on Wednesday.
Following the initial allegations, his daughter Stephanie Hayden Ford, who appears on the show with her dad, took to her Facebook page to deny reports that the hit series was in trouble.
“Guys the show is NOT cancelled! We so appreciate the outcry of injustice but [it’s] not true, I guess some [people] just need ratings… We are on a hold with filming while my family takes care of a few things. You guys are the best fans ever & we love you so much! Thank u for standing strong with us!”
She has since deleted her message.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt marry in France

HOLLYWOOD’S hottest couple have made it official, with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt tying the knot in an intimate ceremony at their home in France over the weekend.
A spokesman for Jolie, 39, and Pitt, 50, confirmed the film megastars wed in an intimate ceremony attended by just 22 loved ones.
The photogenic pair exchanged vows in a small chapel in the French hamlet of Correns, at Chateau Miraval — a sprawling 1000-acre estate where the famous family has lived since 2008.
According to a source, Jolie wore a small gold locket to the ceremony that once belonged to her late mother Marcheline Bertrand.

“It was very much a family affair,” the spokeswoman said in a statement.

Here's where to find the SEC Network on your TV

The SEC Network will get the 2014 college football season underway tonight when it airs Texas A&M and South Carolina at 6:00 PM ET.
This is great news for everyone because football is finally back and everyone loves football. The problem of course is that the SEC Network is brand spanking new and you’ve probably never watched it before today.
 
Of course you will be keeping an eye on the action on the field between No. 20 Texas A&M and No. 9 South Carolina – since whoever loses this game basically ends their season before it starts.
In addition to a high stakes matchup, it is the first chance many of us will get to see what life after Johnny Manziel is like for Texas A&M. Just writing that feels boring. Hopefully it isn’t boring. It’ll probably be a little boring.
Hey, at least Jadeveon Clowney will be there for South Carolina – oh, never mind. This is going to be the night of the little brother. Sophomore Kenny Hill will  have to step up in place of Johnny Football, and redshirt Sophomore Darius English will assume the Clowney role for the Gamecocks.
But let’s all be honest for a moment, this is Tim Tebow’s moment and everything else is secondary. Tebow is the star of the SEC Network, and the moment his chiseled chin comes across your television screen, his NFL career is effectively over. Give the moment whatever emotion you feel it deserves.
