LAKE COUNTY, Ill. -- The Highland Park mass shooting suspect claimed the deadly July 4th attack was staged by federal agents, on a recorded video call, according to the Lake County Sheriff's office. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Robert E. Crimo III has not been disciplined and is still allowed to make calls from a tablet. A spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office said it was aware of the video but would not comment further.It is now up to a judge to decide what to do since Crimo III wasn’t the one who violated jail rules but was a woman who recorded the call on Sept. 21, violating jail rules, the sheriff’s office said.

(WHTM) -- Best Buy has recalled about 930,000 Insignia pressure cookers due to a burn hazard.According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the inner pot of the pressure cooker has the wrong volume markings, which could lead to overfilling. The commission says this can result in hot food and liquids being "ejected" when the pressure cooker is vented -- either by using the steam release valve or by removing the top."Consumers should always check that the inner pot is not filled beyond two-thirds capacity when pressure cooking, that the lid is fully locked before pressure cooking is started, and that the floating locking valve has dropped before attempting to open the lid when pressure cooking," the CPSC advised.So far, Best Buy has gotten 31 incident reports, including 17 reported burn injuries, according to the commission.

The Gophers’ 12-10 win over Iowa last week has rejuvenated Minnesota’s outlook to contend for the Big Ten West Division title.With five games remaining, Minnesota is 2-2 in the Big Ten and enters Saturday’s home game as a seven-point favorite against Michigan State (0-4).In the West standings, the third-place Gophers sit one game behind Wisconsin (3-1) and a half-game behind Iowa (3-2). But Minnesota holds the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Hawkeyes and fourth-place Nebraska (2-2).This current situation sets up a plausible scenario for the Battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe on Nov. 25 to decide the winner of the West.Here’s how that might shake out:Wisconsin is a 14-point home underdog against No. 3 Ohio State (4-0) on Saturday, and Minnesota will be a big underdog when the Gophers play the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov. 18. It’s not going out on a limb to assume Ohio State wins both games.Let’s also predict the Badgers and Gophers win every other game on their schedules — all of whic...'The Dark Knight' makeup artist's ties to the Capital Region
