The call that a riot was breaking out on the second floor of the Oklahoma County jail came in at 11:26 p.m. Feb. 7. There s like four people using weapons, an inmate told the central control employee. I m looking on the camera right now, the employee said. I don t see that.
Are you sure, the inmate asked. Yep, the employee replied. But I ll check with the rover, thank you.
A review of surveillance video, however, shows the employee, Martin Jacobs, never picked up his radio to notify anyone, according to an internal investigative report of the altercation on 2B that night.

Advanced new technology in diabetes care may very well be the best thing to happen to patients since the discovery of insulin. That’s hard to debate.
But now, about 15 years after the first CGM (continuous glucose monitor) came to market, concerns are emerging about whether some people are becoming
too dependent on modern diabetes tech tools.
That is, while CGM generally improves lives, many users panic if these tools or their backend systems experience a glitch. And many providers are worried that the healthcare system may be falling short on helping them know what to do if a device fails or is not otherwise available.
