Video: Obama Heckled Over Chelsea Manning Sentencing
Chelsea Manning has tried to kill herself for the second time in recent months, a lawyer for the US transgender soldier said.
Manning attempted suicide last month at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, said Vincent Ward.
Manning also tried to take her own life in July.
Wayne Hall, an army spokesman, would not discuss the latest attempt, citing medical privacy laws.
Manning is serving a 35-year sentence.
She was arrested in 2010 as Bradley Manning and was convicted in 2013 in military court of leaking more than 700,000 secret military and US State Department documents to WikiLeaks.
Manning was an intelligence analyst in Iraq at the time.
Former Chris Christie aides found guilty in Bridgegate scandal
A member of the jury that convicted two top former gubernatorial aides in the political scheme to create traffic woes said the biggest obstacle to reaching a verdict was the impact a guilty vote would have on the defendants" lives,according to a report by NorthJersey.com.
That juror, who asked to be identified only as "Juror No. 10," was a Morris County man who said the initial split was eight in favor of guilty, with four against that verdict, according to the report.
He declined to give any details about the "conflict issue," a according to the report, but said it had to do with the impact a guilty verdict would have on the lives of the two defendants, former Port Authority appointee Bill Baroni and former Chris Christie aide Bridget Anne Kelly.
Kelly is the single mother of four children. Experts say that while the charges could abring up to 20 years in prison, a likely sentence would be about far less, possibly three years.
Another juror, Virginia Huffman of Chatham, told NJ Advance Media late Friday that she felt Gov. Chris Christie himself should have been on trial as well, since the scheme to create an epic traffic jam timed for the first day of school was done for his political benefit.
She called Kelly and Baroni "sacrificial lambs."
Christie issued a statement after Friday"s verdict, reiterating his claim that he didn"t plan or know about the plot to create traffic woes as a means of political retribution for a local mayor"s reluctance to endorse him.
Both defendants indicated they plan to appeal the verdict. Sentencing is scheduled for February.

Master Class of Darren Aronofsky in OIFF 2015 (english)
Jennifer Lawrence is no stranger to having her love life in the public eye. But the actress, who is now dating Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, is more relaxed in her new relationship than she has been in the past, a source tells PEOPLE.
The Hunger Games star was most recently linked to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. (The two began dating five months after Martin split from wife Gwyneth Paltrow, and dated on and off for a year before parting ways.)
She struggled when she dated Chris [Martin] and seemed very stressed out, a source tells PEOPLE of the spotlight that comes with dating the singer. With Darren, it will probably be different. He does not attract attention like Chris does.
The source adds that like Lawrence, the director is very low-key.
He does not seem like a person who enjoys being a celebrity. Jennifer is the same, says the source.

Lawrence, 26 and Aronofsky, 47, worked together on an untitled film over the summer. (The film, which Aronofsky wrote and directed, also stars Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer and Javier Bardem.)
The Oscar winner was first spotted dining with the Brooklyn native in New York City in August, and then the two stepped out again for an intimate dinner with her close friends at the Commissary restaurant at The Line Hotel in L.A. on Oct. 21.

Theyve been hanging out and are casually dating, says the Lawrence pal.
The director was previously in a nine-year relationship with actress Rachel Weisz (the two have a son, 10-year-old Henry), before they broke up in 2010, and Weisz moved on to marry her Dream House costar Daniel Craig.
Lawrence is the first to admit she doesnt have a type when it comes to men, and thats just how she likes it. Patterns are the work of the devil, she told Harpers Bazaar earlier this year. If I think about all of my ex-boyfriends, they are all so uncomparable.
After nearly 730 days of vigorously campaigning to be your next President, I am ready after November 8th to go back to being a writer and father. But before I do so, I want to give you my best advice on how to vote.
To begin with, I want to honor all those of you who have followed and supported my campaign. I will be voting for myself, and I welcome you to vote for me too. Bear in mind that voting for me is a protest vote, and it will almost certainly make no technical difference. Being realistic, you"re better off to vote practically on November 8th and to vote your conscience--I encourage that.
Also, should you decide to vote for me, you should write my FEC registered legal name in as Zoltan Istvan Gyurko. Also, in New York and Florida, you should include my placeholder Vice President Lisa Memmel in the write-in space. Finally, the only other states I"m quite certain my vote will count in are Vermont, Wyoming, Oregon, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Iowa, Delaware, and Alabama. They may count in some others--the rules are complex.
The campaign bumper sticker
For the record, my campaign from the start was never about trying to win the presidency. It was about pushing the meaning and ideas of my campaign slogan: Putting science, health, and technology at the forefront of American politics.
Finally, these are the three defining OpEds I wrote about my campaign over two years. Check them out: my Huffington Post original "Transhumanist Party Forming and Candidacy Declaration" article; last year"s Gizmodo "Why I"m Running for President" story; and last week"s Vice Motherboard "What I Learned Running for President" article.
The country is at an important crossroads. It"s in everyone"s hands to make a difference. But no matter what happens, you should get out to vote. You should insist on it. Good luck!
ARRIVAL Official TRAILER (Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner - Aliens Movie, 2016)
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. There was no shortage of Christmas spirit on Friday night at the Staten Island Mall.
Hundreds of people crowded the mall"s center court and stood along railing overlooking the tree, anxiously awaitingSanta"s Arrival Parade.
The chorus from PS 29 in Castleton Corners, made up of children from third through fifth grades, started the evening"s festivities with a number of Christmas songs, including "O" Christmas Tree."
"I"m so happy it"s inside this year," said Martha Ramirez, 42, of Oakwood Heights, who brought her granddaughter, Joanna, 3, to see Santa and the Christmas tree.
"I don"t think they were trying to lessen the holiday last year; I didn"t really think too much into it. But it"s cold and almost everybody here has kids with them. It"s just better; it"s beautiful!" Ramirez said.
Joanna is hoping for toys from the new movie "Trolls" for Christmas, her grandmother said.
The tree, which had been a mainstay inside the Mall during the holidays, was moved outdoors in 2014 to the dismay of many shoppers. Shoppers were further outraged when Santa"s Arrival Parade was cancelled last year,which lead to a boycott from shoppers who said they were tired of the lack of holiday cheer.
Over 15,000 people joined the "Boycott the SI Mall" Facebook group pagelast year and held protests outside and throughout the mall in response to the lack of Christmas spirit.
A spokesman for the Staten Island Mall would not say whether the decision to move the tree indoors was the result of last year"s backlash or ongoing construction at the mall.
Children sat on their parents" shoulders in the crowd, while others anxiously looked down the Sears" wing, waiting for Santa and his friends to make an appearance.
The Susan E. Wagner marching band played Christmas tunes as costumed characters Elsa, Olaf, Mickey Mouse, a Minion and Spiderman made their way around the center court greeting wide-eyed, smiling children.
As Santa made his way towards the stage, excited children clapped and jumped for joy.
One on the stage, the characters, Santa Claus and Vinny Dugno, the evening"s master of ceremonies, led the crowd in a countdown from 10.
When the crowd reached one, the tree was lit from top to bottom and the red, green, silver and gold ornaments sparkled in the light as confetti rained down from the ceiling.
A community just outside Indianapolis where life is calm and peaceful for many, Zionsville, Indiana is the kind of place people come to raise their families. But for over a year now, Katie McLaughlins life has been anything but.
You could look up every word in a dictionary or thesaurus for horrible and none of them describe what this year has been like, she said.
That year for Katie McLaughlin formerly Katie Fogle, married to Subway spokesmanJared Fogle began July 7, 2015, when the FBI showed up at the door of their home with a search warrant, looking for evidence her husband was a pedophile, reports CBS News correspondent Anna Werner.
Thats how you found out about this? Werner asked.
Thats how I found out, yeah, McLaughlin said.
Before the FBI knocked on her door, she said she knew nothing about his involvement in anything.
They walked in and youre just in shock, McLaughlin said.
Did you even understand what was happening? Werner asked.
No. No, I didnt understand any of it to be honest, McLaughlin said. I mean you just -- you float out of yourself because the FBI shouldnt be in your house.
It was a swift fall for her husband, who until that point was a brand celebrity, known as the man who lost more than 200 pounds by eating Subway sandwiches. Now a criminal who pleaded guilty to having s*x with minors and disturbing child p*********y, hes serving some15 yearsin prison.
And McLaughlins life changed too. Six weeks after the FBIs visit, she filed for divorce, then later, for sole custody of their two children, now aged three and five. All of it, she could never have imagined when she fell in love with Fogle.
Do you love him now? Werner asked.
In my opinion, he took himself out of our lives and I -- I cant even think about him at this point in my life, McLaughlin said.
Theres anger there, Werner said.
Of course theres anger. I mean anyone would have anger for a person who was supposed to do nothing but protect his children, McLaughlin said.
Her anger is not limited to her ex-husband. Shes nowsuing Subwayfor negligence, saying in her filed complaint that the company was alerted to potential problems with Fogle on three occasions in 2004, 2008 and 2011 the last, where a Florida journalist made a complaint through Subways website and later recorded conversations with Fogle, played on the Dr. Phil show after his arrest.
Yet, McLaughlin said she herself knew nothing.
He had two lives going on. You know, he was home with the kids and I in one life and he was out on the road in a different life, and he was able to keep those two very separate in a way that I couldnt even fathom, McLaughlin said.
You know there are people out there who will hear you and will say, how could she not know? Werner said.
There are going to be people out there who believe what they want to believe about me, McLaughlin said. I mean, how could anyone think that I would stay married to a man and have children with a man who was doing this? Of course I wouldnt be there. Of course I wouldnt stay with him. I did not know.
But she believes Subway did know something.
If he was so good at having this other life and lying to you, is it possible that he couldve been just as good at lying to them? Werner asked.
No one ever brought me complaints. We know that there was at least one complaint brought to them that was mishandled, McLaughlin said.
Subway told us it had no comment on the lawsuit. But in a statement to media outlets last year, the company said an internal investigation found the 2011 complaint to its website was serious, but there was nothing that implied anything about sexual behavior or criminal activity involving Fogle.
The company said at the time: We regret that this comment was not properly escalated or acted upon.
More recently, the company told site RadarOnline.com that their investigation showed no evidence... of any prior issues regarding Fogle.
What did he take from you? Werner asked.
I mean, my ability to trust. I mean, my ability to -- to think that things will be okay, McLaughlin said. I think I was always a pretty happy person who thought if everyone puts in their hard work, things will end up okay. And now Im not so sure about that now.
One thing McLaughlin is sure of is that nothing happened with her children. Shes also accusing the sandwich chain over using characters designed to look like the couple and their children in a 2015 ad. She said they never obtained consent.
We reached out to Jared Fogle through his attorney to ask for an interview, but they declined.
Weighing in on the lawsuit against Subway, CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman said that McLaughlin did not have a case for what shed like to have a case for. Even if her allegations that the sandwich chain knew about her ex-husbands problems prove to be true, Klieman said that it did not have a duty to report them to her.
Shes saying they owed a duty to people like children, to report to the police. The problem is Subway is going to deny, Subway is going to say they knew nothing, and ultimately, if there is a correct plaintiff here, its one of the victims, Klieman said.
But her allegation about the 2015 ad is a viable claim if they really did not have her consent.
Indiana has the strongest law on this particular (issue). So shes in good shape there, Klieman said.
