attention another suggests something similar - it's harder to get emotionally involved in a story on a digital platform, than in a physical book. and... if you try to fall asleep with a good book, one study found the light emitted by an e-device makes it take ten minutes longer to fall asleep, compared to a real book. it could be time for a good deal... we told you this week sports authority is closing about a third of its stores --- including some right here in ohio near columbus. columbus. the liquidation sales are already underway. but before you automatically assume you're getting a great buy... be forewarned. traditionally, liquidators re- price everything in a store. so before you buy -- you might want to do a little comparison shopping to make sure that the great discount is really what you think it is. lawyers for tom brady and the nfl are back in court -- debating whether the nfl can reinstate brady's four-game suspension.

last year's deflategate scandal.the league had suspended brady but a new york judge overturned that decision. now a three judge panel will decide if brady will have to serve that suspension afterall. nfl commissioner roger goodell says this case goes beyond brady though. this is an issue of what are our rights in the collective bargaining agreement // we followed them to a t. and we believe that-- the district court got that wrong. wrong. brady says he had nothing to do with deflategate -- that's where game balls were purposely deflated for a patriot's playoff game in 2015. he claims he destroyed his cell phone -- a key nfl argument for the suspension -- because of privacy issues. closing arguments today in the high profile case sports reporter erin andrews brought against marriott hotels and her stalker.the 75 million dollar lawsuit centers on nude videos taken of andrews without her knowledge while she was staying in hotels in nashville and columbus in 2008.

the tumor creates toxins meant to trigger an immune response. if this new method is successful, the patient's immune system could be led to tackle the disease with the help of normal treatments. this idea isn't entirely new, but the target that previous methods aimed for was different.this method would be personalized through dna analysis, which means it would be costly. another dilemma: it hasn't been tested yet. researchers hope to test patients in the coming years. this video includes clips from cancer research uk and cancer research institute and images. newsy on your tv or favorite streaming device. device. right now -- a brand new beer store now open in loveland. loveland.we take you inside the casual pint -- next!
