ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Since Kailey Paul could walk, she’s been riding horses. The 14-year-old Rensselaer County girl trains and competes in equestrian events all over the country. All of that came to a screeching halt in August of 2022, when she started experiencing severe headaches, fatigue and neck pain. The doctor sent her in for an MRI, and the results nearly brought Kailey and her parents to their knees. There was a large tumor where the spine connects to the brain, and it was cancer.Kailey jumping a horse during practice.“When she first got diagnosed, it was like a punch to the face,” according to her mother, Donna Cole Paul. She added, “Everything stops and all you can think about is her getting better.”They acted quickly with emergency surgery followed by an aggressive regiment of chemotherapy and proton radiation treatments, both in Albany and at a hospital in New York City.Kailey tells NEWS10, “I have to be honest, it’s hard.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:09:06 GMT

By MICHAEL R. SISAK and LARRY NEUMEISTER (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump called a writer’s claims that he raped her at a Manhattan department store “the most ridiculous, disgusting story,” testifying in a deposition shown in court Thursday that the allegations were “made up” and that the assault never happened.Lawyers for accuser E. Jean Carroll played about 30 minutes of excerpts from the former president’s deposition, including his emphatic denial of the longtime advice columnist’s accusation that he attacked her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.“If it did happen, it would have been reported within minutes,” Trump said, contending that shoppers and personnel at the “very busy store” would’ve heard a commotion and alerted authorities.“It’s the most ridiculous, disgusting story. It’s just made up,” Trump said in the video deposition taken in Octobe...

Up 2-0 and facing Suns potentially without Chris Paul, Nuggets coach Michael Malone says, “We haven’t done anything yet”

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:09:06 GMT

Michael Malone found a still frame from Denver’s Game 2 playoff win over Phoenix that he said Wednesday he wants to have framed and put in his house.The moment worthy of a spot on the coach’s wall: A double contest of a Suns jump shot by Bruce Brown and Aaron Gordon.“It’s like a work of art,” Malone said, lauding the precise way in which they and others aggressively defended shots without fouling or compromising their positioning. … “That’s championship defense.”The Nuggets took care of business at home, staked themselves a 2-0 lead, moved to 6-1 overall in the postseason and now head to Phoenix to take on a Suns team that may well be without star point guard Chris Paul for a game, two games or perhaps the rest of the series.So, as Denver’s players took to the practice floor Wednesday to work out new ways to harass Kevin Durant and defending Phoenix’s pick-and-roll, Malone’s playing a different kind of defense. He’s guarding against complacency finding its way into his locker room.“...
