NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities are searching for whoever left a newborn baby with the umbilical cord still attached in the Christmas nativity manger at a New York City church.

Police say a custodian at a Queens church found the child after returning from lunch Monday afternoon.

Investigators say the baby was wrapped in towels and laying in the manger at the Holy Child of Jesus Church in Richmond Hill.

Police say the baby is in good health at a local hospital. Police have not released the gender.

State law says a newborn can be dropped off at a church, hospital, police or fire station. But it requires the child to be left with someone or for authorities to be called immediately.

A call to the church went unanswered Tuesday afternoon.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A judge has cleared the way for a woman with late-stage lung cancer to buy medical marijuana in Maine before dispensaries open in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire didn’t plan to issue identification cards to medical marijuana users until dispensaries open next year, but Linda Horan says she may be dead before then.

The retired telephone worker from Alstead sued the state this month.

State officials argued issuing her an identification card now would undermine New Hampshire’s need to control distribution. But a judge on Tuesday granted Horan’s request and ordered the state to process her application and issue a card if it is approved.

In his ruling, Judge Richard McNamara says Horan will suffer irreparable harm if relief was not granted.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A judge has sentenced former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle to 15 years and eight months in prison for trading in child pornography and having sex with underage prostitutes.

The judge in Indianapolis sentenced Fogle after he pleaded guilty under an agreement with prosecutors. They had sought a 12-and-a-half-year sentence, while Fogle’s attorneys asked for five years.

Fogle admitted paying for sex with girls as young as 16 and receiving child pornography produced by his charitable foundation’s former director.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The heartache of a broken relationship may soon become less painful on Facebook.

The world’s largest social network is trying to help people who have split up with a spouse or lover, offering a new feature that spares them from constantly seeing their former partner’s posts and pictures in their news feed.

Facebook will begin testing the breakup protection on mobile devices in the U.S. before deciding whether to offer it to all of its 1.5 billion accountholders worldwide.

The optional tool is designed for people who don’t want to take the more extreme measure of blocking an ex-lover from their Facebook network.

After changing their relationship status of Facebook, people will also be allowed to remove their names from past posts linking them to a former partner.

BOSTON (AP) — A consumer watchdog group says dinosaur claws inspired by the movie “Jurassic World” and a substance that looks like poop are among the worst toys for Christmas this year.

The Massachusetts-based World Against Toys Causing Harm released its annual list of hazardous toys Wednesday.

The group says the velociraptor claws can cause eye and facial injuries, and the Play-Doh-like substance contains wheat that could cause allergies. The list also includes a quick-folding trampoline, which the group says can lead to injuries. WATCH says the items singled out represent common problems in toys.

The group also urges parents to be cautious when buying toys online, where nearly half of purchases are expected to be made this year.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York hospital says a volunteer firefighter has received the most extensive face transplant ever performed. The Mississippi man was badly burned in a fire 14 years ago.

The surgery, announced on Monday, took place in August at the NYU Langone Medical Center. Forty-one-year-old Patrick Hardison is still getting physical therapy in New York but plans to return home in time for Thanksgiving.

He said he looks forward to being able to drive again, with his eyesight restored to normal.

The transplant covers his skull, reaching over his face and down to his collarbones in front, and down far enough in back that it leaves only a tiny patch of his own hair at the bottom.

Hardison was injured in 2001 when the roof of a burning home collapsed.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Police say an 8-year-old Alabama boy is charged with beating a 1-year-old girl to death while they were left home alone.

Birmingham police spokesman Sean Edwards says that a murder warrant has been obtained against the boy and that 26-year-Katerra Lewis also is charged with manslaughter in the death of her daughter, 1-year-old Kelcia Lewis. Police say several children ranging from age 2 to 8 were left home alone while Katerra Lewis and a friend went to a nightclub Oct. 11.

Edwards says the girl began crying while the children alone, and the boy attacked her. Edwards says the two weren’t related.

Police say the girl suffered severe head trauma and major damage to her internal organs.

Lewis has posted $15,000 bond, and the boy is in state custody.

BUCKNER, Ill. (AP) — A 40-year-old bride has died in a motorcycle accident as her new husband drove her to their wedding reception in southern Illinois.

Authorities say Jana Miles-Burnett of Whittington died Saturday night following her marriage ceremony in a Buckner city park.

Illinois State Police report that husband William Burnett was driving the couple the three miles to their reception at a bar in Christopher when he struck a deer that darted in front of them on a rural highway. Miles-Burnett was thrown from the motorcycle. Her husband was not seriously injured.

The couple had dated for only a few months before marrying.

Miles-Burnett’s identity was confirmed to the newspaper by family members and a funeral home.

She worked as a Franklin County emergency dispatcher.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Police say that 13 years after a 5-year-old went missing from his home in Alabama, they’ve found him unharmed — now an 18-year-old living in Ohio.

Authorities told news outlets that Julian Hernandez was found in Cleveland. His mother reported him missing from the Birmingham area in 2002.

His father, 53-year-old Bobby Hernandez, was arrested in Ohio. AL.com (http://bit.ly/1Pcjqgp) reports that he’s charged with tampering with records in Ohio to get a driver’s license and that police say he’ll face abduction charges in Alabama.

Special Agent Vicki Anderson said the FBI in Ohio received information Oct. 30 that a local teenager may be a missing child. Anderson told AL.com that the boy and his father have apparently been living in Cleveland.

Authorities say Julian Hernandez is safe and unharmed.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a car plowed into a group of trick-or-treaters in New York City, killing three people, including a 10-year-old girl. Four others, including a 3-year-old, were injured.

A spokesman for the New York Police Department says the group had been trick-or-treating just before 5 p.m. Saturday in the Morris Park neighborhood of the Bronx when a car went onto the sidewalk and struck them.

Authorities say a 3-year-old girl was critically injured. A 21-year-old woman, a 9-year-old girl and the 52-year-old driver also were hospitalized.

Police say an investigation into what caused the crash is ongoing.
