2014 Hamilton, Ontario municipal election, Mid-term elections, Catholic Trustee, Ward 6

Sitting members voted to hold a special election, rather than a by-election because of the costs associated with holding a ward-wide poll.

The appointment was not without controversy, as Michael Ecker, the second-place candidate against Kennedy in 2010, was denied an opportunity to apply for the position after failing to supply financial statements from the October election. Under the Municipal Elections Act, Ecker became ineligible for election until 2018. Ecker challenged the penalty, but the case was dismissed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

On July 9, 2014, a mass shooting occurred in a home located in northern Harris County, Texas, near the Spring census-designated place, a suburban area of the Greater Houston area, leaving six family members dead, four of them children, and a lone survivor. 34-year old Ronald Lee Haskell, was apprehended after a standoff that lasted several hours. Haskell was related to the victims via his ex-wife.

Police and court documents state that Haskell arrived at the residence, 711 Leaflet Lane, dressed as a FedEx employee. The house is in the Enchanted Oaks subdivision Section 3, in an unincorporated area outside of the Spring census-designated place but with a Spring postal address. Haskell was reportedly searching for his ex-wife, the sister of the mother living in the home. The door was answered by the mother's 15-year-old daughter, who initially did not recognize him; he asked for her parents and she told him they weren't home.


2014 Harris County shooting, Events
Haskell left, but returned a short time later and told the girl he was her ex-uncle. When she tried to close the door on him, Haskell forced his way inside, tied her up, and made her lie face-down; Haskell did the same to the other four children and their parents when they returned to the house. Haskell then reportedly shot all seven people in the back of the head "execution-style" when they wouldn't tell him where his ex-wife was. Afterwards, he fled the scene using the family's car.


2014 Harris County shooting, Events
Five of the victims died at the scene, while one child died shortly after arriving at a hospital. The lone survivor, the 15-year-old girl who initially answered the door, was able to identify the suspect, telling responding police that the gunman was planning on going after other family members. She survived being shot by raising her hand, the bullet grazed her head and finger causing a skull fracture and damaging the tip of her finger, then "played dead".

Using the girl's information, police confronted the suspect at a second home; a chase ensued for twenty minutes, involving about two dozen patrol cars and eventually ending at a cul-de-sac located about three miles from the scene of the shooting, shortly before 7:00 p.m. The police managed to disable the suspect's car with a spike strip, corner him at the cul-de-sac, and block his car with two armored vehicles. The suspect held a pistol to his head and spoke to police via cellphone. Nearby homes were evacuated during the standoff. After around three hours passed, the suspect surrendered to police without further incident.

The incident was allegedly sparked when Karla Haskell told him that she was in contact with his ex-wife. Deputies investigating the incident searched for Haskell but were unable to find him. They would later learn that Haskell had been arrested in Texas for the shooting.

This was Fresno State's second Hawaii Bowl; the Bulldogs had previously appeared in the 2012 game, losing to the SMU Mustangs by a score of 43–10 largely due to the efforts of SMU defensive end Margus Hunt.


2014 Hawaii Bowl, Teams, Rice Owls

The aforementioned rushing attack was led by junior Marteze Waller, a second team all-conference selection whose 1292 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns were complemented by the efforts of senior Josh Quezada and quarterback Brian Burrell, who combined for 801 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.


2014 Hawaii Bowl, Pregame buildup, Fresno State, Offense
Burrell orchestrated a passing attack that frequently targeted first team all-conference selection Josh Harper, a senior who enjoyed "quite the career" at Fresno State having exceeded the 1,000 yard threshold and ranking among the leaders in touchdown receptions nationally; he compiled twice as many receptions as anyone else on the roster. Wide receivers Aaron Peck, Greg Watson, and Delvon Hardaway, running back Josh Quezada, and tight end Chad Olsen also made contributions to the passing game.


2014 Hawaii Bowl, Pregame buildup, Fresno State, Offense
Right guard Cody Wichmann, who frequently drew comparisons to Logan Mankins, anchored the Bulldogs' offensive line, and was set to make his 50th consecutive start in the bowl game; he earned second team all-conference accolades. Alex Fifita started at left tackle, having earned honorable mention all-conference recognition after proving himself at the position during the season.


2014 Hawaii Bowl, Pregame buildup, Fresno State, Defense
Junior defensive tackle Tyeler Davison anchored the defense, having totaled eight sacks and 12.5 tackles-for-loss, and received first team all-conference recognition. Outside linebacker Donavan Lewis, a senior mainstay of the defense, earned honorable mention all-conference recognition, and received accolade from teammates for always understanding his assignments and playing with heart. One game preview commented, "Fresno State's secondary wasn't always tested in a run-heavy Mountain West Conference, but they gave up 14 touchdowns against zero interceptions in their opening three-game stretch against Power Five opponents." Nevertheless, the aforementioned secondary did place one of its members on the first team all-conference squad, three-time honoree Derron Smith.


2014 Hawaii Bowl, Pregame buildup, Rice, Offense
Relatively similar to Fresno State's, Rice's offensive statistical averages included 223.6 passing yards per game (71st nationally), 170.3 rushing yards per game (57th nationally), and 28.7 points per game (68th nationally). Likely employing an offensive scheme that emphasized ball control, the Owls' offense featured three competent rushers – Jowan Davis and Darik Dillard at running back, and dual-threat quarterback Driphus Jackson. Jackson's top target at receiver was senior Jordan Taylor, the "star of the Owls offense" whose 49 receptions and 781 yards both led the team. Fellow senior Mario Hull led the team with eight touchdown receptions. Offensive lineman Nico Carlson helped lead the senior class at Rice in establishing a winning culture in Rice football; he also earned placement on the second team all-conference team. Andrew Reue and Matt Simonette – two of Carlson's fellow offensive linemen – also earned all-conference recognition as honorable mentions.


2014 Hawaii Bowl, Pregame buildup, Rice, Defense
"Fresh off an absolutely embarrassing performance" in which they surrendered 76 points and 677 total yards, Rice's defense looked to rebound by notching a "competent" performance against Fresno State. Continuity was a prevalent theme in the Owls' secondary, in which three of four starters – cornerback Bryce Callahan and safeties Malcolm Hill and Julius White – joined linebacker James Radcliffe as the only defensive players in Rice history to start three bowls in their college careers.


2014 Hawaii Bowl, Pregame buildup, Rice, Defense
Up front, lanky defensive end Brian Nordstrom "came out of nowhere to have one of the best seasons for a defensive end in Rice history," posting an "eye-opening," Conference USA-leading 18.5 tackles for loss to complement 7.5 sacks en route to earning first team all-conference accolades. Callahan also earned second team all-conference recognition while White, Radcliffe, and linebacker Alex Lyons received honorable mention recognition.

2014 Helsinki University massacre plan
The 2014 Helsinki University massacre plan was a mass murder planned by two people in Helsinki, Finland. The plan was discovered in spring 2014. The attack never happened, because a third person reported the plan to the police. The perpetrators were planning to kill several people, possibly 50 randomly chosen people, at the University of Helsinki with guns and poison gas.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, The accused
Two people were charged for planning the attack, a man from Kemi, born in 1990, and a woman from Vantaa, born in 1989. The defendants had devised a plan to obtain firearms by robbing a gun shop and to manufacture arsine gas to kill 50 people at the University of Helsinki. In addition, the defendants had weighed up the possibility of carrying out an attack at the Finnish Parliament or at a football match.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, The accused
In interrogations, the defendants admitted to having been inspired by the Boston Marathon bombings in April 2013. Neither of them are enrolled at the University of Helsinki.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Planning the attack
The accused met each other on 23 December 2012 through the Tor anonymity network. From the start, their discussions concerned planning a mass murder. Possible targets included a movie theater, a marathon, the Finnish Parliament House, the Presidential Independence Day Reception and numerous education institutions. The University of Helsinki was chosen as a target in August 2013, because it would be possible to kill many young people there. The accused acquired much equipment suitable for the attack, such as a crossbow, magazines and a large amount of ammunition, combat belts, gas masks and chemicals suitable for creating poisonous arsine gas.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Planning the attack
The accused had originally discussed carrying out the attack on 20 January 2014. The man had travelled to Helsinki on 15 January, carrying the equipment he had acquired, and stayed with the woman. On 17 January, the two accused people had gone to investigate the University premises, and had studied the premises through the Internet. On the morning of 20 January the man said he wanted to move the attack to a later date. He told the woman that he wanted to plan the attack better and acquire more equipment.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Planning the attack
The accused had discussed starting the attack by robbing a weapons store near the University. By thus having acquired more weapons, they would have moved straight to the University, where they would have killed people at random. In their discussions, they mentioned locking the exits, setting fire to the building and spreading poison gas. The accused mentioned wanting to die in the attack.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Prevention of the attack
The accused man contacted a third person via Tor anonymity network on 23 January 2014, who had also written texts concerning mass murder. The accused man asked the third person whether they wanted to take part in the attack. After five days of messaging, it became apparent that the attack was planned to take place on 10 March.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Prevention of the attack
The accused man had placed an announcement on the Tor network looking for an accomplice to take part in a "massage". The man was caught when an undercover police officer replied to the announcement. According to the court, the man had used the word "massage" because he had confused it with the word "massacre".


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Prevention of the attack
The defendants were nabbed by the police in March, after a 17-year-old girl who had been asked to take part in the attack by the male defendant revealed the plan to her friend.

The accused man was arrested during a home search on 4 March and the woman was arrested on the next day. Equipment for the planned attack was found at both of their homes. Both were declared as imprisoned on 8 March.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Trial and sentence
The trial concerning the matter began at The District Court of Helsinki on 26 May 2014.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Trial and sentence
The District Court of Helsinki on 26 June 2014 sentenced a 24-year-old man and woman to prison for three years for a conspiracy to carry out a killing spree at the University of Helsinki.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Trial and sentence
The attack was initially set to be carried out in January 2014, but the defendants called it off to refine their plans. The defendants were nabbed by the police in March, after a 17-year-old girl who had been asked to take part in the attack by the male defendant revealed the plan to her friend.


2014 Helsinki University massacre plan, Trial and sentence
Both defendants denied the charges in court, insisting that they had no intention of carrying out the attack.


2014 Heritage Classic
The 2014 NHL Heritage Classic was an outdoor regular season National Hockey League (NHL) game held indoor, part of the Heritage Classic series of outdoor NHL ice hockey games in Canada. It took place on March 2, 2014, in BC Place in Vancouver, with the Ottawa Senators facing off against the home team Canucks.


2014 Heritage Classic
It is the first "outdoor" game to be played in what technically is an indoor stadium, albeit one of a larger capacity than a typical NHL arena; BC Place is a retractable roof venue, and it is unknown if the stadium has the capabilities to keep its roof open during inclement weather (several stadiums of the type explicitly cannot be kept open in such an environment due to drainage concerns). The game was televised nationally in Canada on CBC and nationally in the United States on NBCSN.


2014 Heritage Classic
It was announced hours before the game that the roof of BC Place would be closed for the duration of the game due to weather concerns.


2014 Heritage Classic
The 2014 NHL Heritage Classic was also the last game to feature Roberto Luongo as a player for Vancouver.


2014 Heritage Classic, Game summary
The Canucks built a 2–0 lead in the first period with goals by Jason Garrison and Zack Kassian. The Senators then scored four unanswered goals by Clarke MacArthur, Erik Karlsson, Cody Ceci, and Colin Greening to win the game. The loss left Vancouver head coach John Tortorella answering questions during the post game press conference about why he started Eddie Lack in goal instead of regular starter Roberto Luongo. Tortorella's decision was also unpopular with the crowd during the game as they booed Lack, while Luongo was also unhappy as he had been looking forward to that game all season. Two days later on March 4, a day before the NHL trade deadline, Luongo was traded to the Florida Panthers.


2014 Hertsmere Borough Council election
The 2014 Hertsmere Borough Council election took place on 22 May 2014 to elect members of Hertsmere Borough Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections.


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election
The Heywood and Middleton by-election was on 9 October 2014 in the Heywood and Middleton constituency following the death of its MP Jim Dobbin on 6 September 2014. It was held on the same day as the Clacton by-election. The Labour Party narrowly held the seat following a recount. UK Independence Party (UKIP) came second, and increased its vote by 36 percentage points since the previous general election.


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Background
On 10 September 2014, it was announced that the election would be held on 9 October 2014. The nominations closed at 4pm on Tuesday 16 September. The Clacton by-election was held on the same day.


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Campaign
Labour's decision to call for a by-election before Dobbin's funeral was criticised by Paul Nuttall and Steven Woolfe, UKIP MEPs for North West England, with the former describing it as "shoddy politics". Labour MP for Chesterfield Toby Perkins defended the timing, saying “With the agreement of Jim's family, we have moved the writ today as it is vital that the people of Heywood & Middleton constituency are not left without representation for an extended period”.


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Campaign
UKIP candidate John Bickley distributed a leaflet in which he said "Labour's betrayal is no more apparent than with the young white working-class girls of Rotherham and Rochdale where rather than upset immigrant communities, years of abuse were ignored and complaints swept under the carpet".


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Campaign
Of this the Labour MP for neighbouring Rochdale, Simon Danczuk, said "It's now clear that UKIP will try and turn grooming and the death of Lee Rigby into a political football. They're playing politics with horrendous crimes that shocked Heywood and Middleton at a time when the wounds of these events are still healing in our town."


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Campaign
During an interview on Daily Politics, after the leaflet was called "divisive" by his Labour opponent Liz McInnes, Bickley criticised McInnes for publishing a leaflet with the heading "WAITING TO DIE" after the death of Jim Dobbin, saying it was landing on the doorsteps of the terminally ill.


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Candidates
On 16 September 2014, Rochdale Borough Council published the statement of persons nominated, which confirmed five candidates would contest the by-election.

2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Candidates
The Green Party announced their candidate on 14 September as Middleton resident Abi Jackson, a recent graduate of the University of Huddersfield with a master's degree in Psychology.


2014 Heywood and Middleton by-election, Results
Labour retained the seat with a small increase in vote share but a reduced majority. The 36-point increase in UKIP support is one of the largest increases in vote share ever recorded in a by-election. Only in six previous contests in Great Britain has a party enjoyed a larger increase. It is also the highest increase ever recorded for a party that did not win the by-election. Conversely, the fall in the Liberal Democrat vote was the largest recorded for that party in any of the by-elections they have contested since their formation.


2014 Hillah bombing
A suicide mini-bus bomber detonated his bus filled with explosives at a northern checkpoint in the Shi'ite town of Hilla in southern Iraq, trapping civilians in their vehicles, where they were killed or seriously injured as the explosion destroyed over 50 vehicles near the mini-bus. Although no one claimed responsibility for the attack, a provincial official claimed that the attack was the work of Al Qaeda. 45 people were killed and at least 157 others were wounded.

2014 Hirakud boat disaster
The 2014 Hirakud boat disaster was an accident that occurred on 9 February 2014 in the reservoir of the Hirakud Dam in the Indian state of Odisha. The incident occurred  when a boat carrying about 115 passengers on board capsized in the reservoir. The disaster killed 31 people.


2014 Hirakud boat disaster, Accident
The accident occurred near the Pitapali area inside the reservoir at around 4:30 PM when a large group of picnickers were returning in an overcrowded motor boat. As per eyewitnesses, the motorboat became snagged, water overflowed the gunwale, and it capsized. The passengers tried to bale out the water unsuccessfully. Many of the passengers also jumped off the boat in panic. It was later noted the boat did not have basic safety measures.


2014 Hirakud boat disaster, Rescue
Firefighters and units of the ODRAF were deployed for rescue operations. A six-member scuba diving rescue team also aided in rescue operations.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game
The 2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, billed as Play for 22, was the first game of the 2014–15 NCAA basketball regular season. The Division III game between Hiram College and Mount St. Joseph University (MSJ) was originally intended to be played at the Hiram campus in Hiram, Ohio on November 15, 2014. However, the game was moved to November 2 to accommodate Lauren Hill, a Mount St. Joseph freshman who had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and wished to play in one college game before her death. The game was also moved to Cincinnati, initially to the MSJ campus in nearby Delhi Township and ultimately to Cintas Center on the campus of Xavier University.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Lauren Hill
Lauren Hill (October 1, 1995 – April 10, 2015) had been a star basketball player at Lawrenceburg High School in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, located about 30 miles (48 km) west of Cincinnati. On her 18th birthday in 2013, she committed to play at Mount St. Joseph. However, as she was preparing for her senior season at Lawrenceburg High, she was noticing problems with her game. As she would tell a reporter from WKRC-TV in Cincinnati in late 2014, "I wasn't keeping up with the other girls. My ball handling was sloppy so I just figured I was out of shape."


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Lauren Hill
After further problems in the following weeks, she thought that she had suffered a concussion, and her family took her to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. On November 20, 2013, less than two months after committing to MSJ, she was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare type of brain cancer that normally affects children age 5 to 7. The cancer, which grows from the brain stem, is inoperable and is not considered survivable.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Lauren Hill
Initially, Hill was given a best-case prognosis of two years to live. Her father recalled that immediately after the diagnosis, "I got weak, [Lauren's mother] Lisa got sick, and typical Lauren she wanted to know if she could still play basketball." She indeed continued to play in her senior season at Lawrenceburg High despite undergoing regular chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and as scheduled came to MSJ for the 2014–15 season.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Lauren Hill
In September 2014, she had an MRI that revealed that the tumor had grown; at that time, doctors told her and her family that she would probably die before the end of the year. Shortly after this diagnosis, she told new MSJ head coach Dan Benjamin, "One game. I want to play one college game." She also chose to spend her last months as an advocate for DIPG research, which had made little progress at the time.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Lauren Hill
On April 10, 2015, Hill died at the age of 19.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Buildup
After this news, the MSJ athletic department approached its counterpart at Hiram. The two teams had initially planned to open their respective seasons on November 15 at Hiram's Price Gymnsaium, but Hiram agreed to move the game to November 1 at MSJ if the NCAA would give permission. This was needed because under NCAA rules, Division III schools cannot play regular-season games before November 15. The NCAA ultimately granted the schools a waiver to play on November 2.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Buildup
The game was then scheduled to be held at the Mount St. Joseph campus. The school's arena, Harrington Center, has a capacity of 2,000, and the typical attendance for a women's basketball game is about 100. However, as news spread of Hill's story, the demand for tickets and media credentials was too great for MSJ to accommodate. At that time, Xavier University stepped in, offering MSJ free use of its arena, Cintas Center, with arena employees volunteering their time for the game. Even with the move to the 10,250-seat venue, the game sold out in 30 minutes. The interest in the game also led Fox Sports Ohio to televise it live.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Buildup
The game would soon be billed as "Play for 22", after Hill's jersey number. The schools decided to turn the game into a charity fundraiser; Hill and her family chose The Cure Starts Now Foundation (TCSN), a charity devoted to DIPG research, as the beneficiary. The foundation would provide the funds from the event to Cincinnati Children's, where Hill had been undergoing treatment, which at the time was working on an international DIPG registry. The fundraising efforts went beyond game proceeds; MSJ invited NCAA member schools to donate a #22 jersey. Hill signed the donated jerseys, which would be auctioned off during the game and in the following days.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Background, Buildup
Hill and Benjamin also created a charity challenge, modeled after the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, known as "Layup4Lauren". Because her cancer caused dizziness and weakened her normally dominant right hand, she was forced to shoot primarily with her left hand. The challenge involves spinning in a complete circle three times, and then making a layup with one's non-dominant hand.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, The game
The game itself followed the theme of brain cancer awareness. MSJ had special gray uniforms made for the game, but Benjamin did not tell Hill until the team was in the locker room. Gray is recognized as a color for brain cancer awareness (similar to pink and breast cancer), signifying gray matter. During pregame warmups, Hiram wore "Play for 22" T-shirts with "MSJ" on the front. Many local celebrities were in attendance, as were several national sports luminaries—among them Tennessee women's coach Pat Summitt, Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson, and WNBA stars Tamika Catchings, Elena Delle Donne, and Skylar Diggins.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, The game
Hill started the game, and after MSJ won the opening tip, they ran a play designed to get Hill a layup for the opening points of the game. The play had been practiced regularly, and the night before the game, MSJ's coaching staff had a dinner with their counterparts from Hiram at which both staffs discussed the play. Hill made the left-handed layup, and the game was immediately stopped. Both teams gave Hill a standing ovation, she was presented with the game ball, and was then helped to the bench by her father. Due to nausea caused by the medication she was taking to control some of the symptoms of her cancer, she spent most of the game on the bench.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, The game
During halftime, Hill was presented with the Pat Summitt Most Courageous Award, given by the United States Basketball Writers Association, by Summitt herself. The award was first presented in 1978, with separate men's and women's versions since 2010; the women's award has borne Summitt's name since 2012. The women's version is normally presented during the Women's Final Four, but the USBWA decided to hand out the award at the game, presumably so that Hill could receive it in person. Also during halftime, the NBA and WNBA teams that play in Hill's home state of Indiana, respectively the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever, jointly gave a $5,000 check to TCSN.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, The game
The game was closely fought until MSJ pulled away in the closing minutes. With the Lions having the ball with 30 seconds to play and a safe 9-point lead, Benjamin called a timeout and sent Hill back into the game. They ran another play for Hill, this time for a right-handed layup, but she missed. One of her teammates rebounded the ball and passed it back to her for a second right-handed layup, which she made to close out the scoring in the Lions' 66–55 win. After the game, MSJ announced that $40,000 had been raised for TCSN.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, The game
The attendance of 10,250 made the game the most-attended NCAA women's game in history that did not involve a Division I team. It more than doubled the previous Division III record of 4,395, set on January 7, 2009 by Calvin when it hosted Trine, and also exceeded the Division II record of 7,543 set by North Dakota State when it hosted North Dakota on February 23, 1996.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Reactions
Hill's story resonated on social media, with basketball stars such as LeBron James and Candace Parker expressing their admiration for Hill's courage. Delle Donne said, "When I read Lauren's story and heard about the game, nothing could keep me away. It's incredible what she's doing and how many people she's reached. To be her age and have the kind of perspective to think beyond herself, she's amazing."


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Reactions
If thoughts and emotions produce energy and that energy can alter an atmosphere, if the power of smiles and hugs and "good afternoons" and "be wells" can build and build until all that positivity overflows to change the molecules of air within a basketball arena, then that is what happened inside the Cintas Center on Sunday. The building overflowed with positive vibes, and that emotion was infectious. This day was not about basketball. It was not about a game. This was a celebration of life and a community coming together to support one girl and two teams as they banded together to beat up on cancer.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Later developments and legacy
The initially announced fundraising total of $40,000 proved inaccurate. At a ceremony on November 19 at MSJ, Hill presented a check to TCSN for nearly $59,000, representing only proceeds from the "Play for 22" game. By that time, funds raised from the game and other initiatives involving Hill, such as the Layup4Lauren challenge and the jersey auction, totaled over $324,000. Her ultimate goal was to raise at least $1 million.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Later developments and legacy
Hill remained in good enough health to travel with the team to its next two games on November 21 and 22 in a tournament hosted by Baldwin Wallace University, located near Cleveland. She played briefly in MSJ's tournament opener, a 69–64 loss to Bethany, scoring two points on a right-handed layup. Hill did not play in MSJ's second tournament game, a 77–68 win over Buffalo State. After her return from the tournament, she went to a Lawrenceburg High game on November 24 under the impression that she would only be supporting her alma mater. Instead, during a halftime ceremony, the school retired her #22, and the city's mayor announced a Lauren Hill Week.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Later developments and legacy
On December 3, Hill's family announced in a Facebook post that they had signed her up for in-home hospice care. A recent cutback in her steroids dosage, combined with further growth of her tumor, led to more severe symptoms. Three days later, the V Foundation for Cancer Research, founded by late college coach and broadcaster Jim Valvano in 1993 during his own losing fight with cancer, donated $100,000 to TCSN during halftime of the Jimmy V Women's Classic game between Connecticut and Notre Dame. A statement from Hill, taped at her home, was shown during the presentation.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Later developments and legacy
Despite her advancing cancer, she was able to leave hospice care to play in a third game on December 13, the Lions' first game of the season at the Harrington Center against Franklin College. Hill started the game and scored the first two points before being substituted. Hill again started and scored the first basket in the Lions' next game on December 16 against Wooster; the following day, her family announced on Facebook that she had played her last game. At that time, Benjamin sent an email to multiple media outlets stating that Hill would remain on MSJ's bench as an honorary coach as long as her health permitted. On December 30, Hill's goal of raising $1 million for TCSN had been surpassed.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Later developments and legacy
Fox Sports named Hill's first game as the top U.S. sports story of November 2014 in its end-of-year timeline, and the game was named "Best Moment" at the 2015 ESPY Awards.

Hill died on April 10, 2015, at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. A public visitation and memorial service was held on April 13, 2015 at the Cintas Center with a private funeral and burial following April 15, 2015.

On October 13, 2015, MSJ and Xavier announced the creation of the Lauren Hill Tipoff Classic, intended to be an annual season-opening basketball event. The inaugural event, held November 14, was preceded by the "2.2M for 22 in 22" telethon, which aired on three major Cincinnati TV stations for 22 hours. Before her death, Hill increased her fundraising goal to $2.2 million (matching her number), and the telethon was intended to complete this goal. Immediately after the end of the telethon, a women's basketball doubleheader followed at Cintas Center. The opener saw Xavier defeat Evansville 65–57, followed by Hiram defeating MSJ 70–63. All paid spectators at the doubleheader received a bobblehead of Hill scoring her first layup; a total of 5,000 were intended to be given away, but attendance was only 3,122.

Hill's legacy was again remembered at the ceremony for the 2018 Summitt Award. Avery Marz, who had planned to start play at Saint Joseph's in 2014, suffered a stroke while moving into her dormitory room that August. One doctor who treated her told her she would never play again. After one of her rehab sessions, Marz returned home to watch coverage of the Hiram–MSJ game, including the Summitt Award ceremony. She eventually returned to the court for Saint Joseph's in 2017–18, and received the award in March 2018 with Hill's parents and Summitt's son Tyler in attendance.


2014 Hiram vs. Mount St. Joseph women's basketball game, Later developments and legacy
While accepting her award, Marz remarked, "I had time on my side, and she knew she did not. I knew if I was able to find just half the courage Lauren had, I'd be able to get back on the court." Hill's mother likened Marz to her daughter, telling the Associated Press, "I see of lot of her there. The tenacity and the drive to keep moving forward, to get herself back on the court -- that's exactly what Lauren did."


2014 Hiroshima landslides
On 20 August 2014, Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan was struck by a series of landslides following heavy rain. Seventy-four people were reported dead. According to the police, the dead included three boys aged two, three and eleven.


2014 Hiroshima landslides, Cause
Following torrential rain in which a month's worth fell in a single day, several landslides were triggered near a mountain beside the city of Hiroshima. Asakita-ku was the hardest-hit ward. It received 217.5 millimetres (8.56 in) of rain from 1:30 am to 4:30 am causing two landslides which occurred between 4 am and 6 am. Hiroshima issued an evacuation advisory at 4:15 am. Mayor Kazumi Matsui confessed regret over the advisory's late issuance and recommended that the city study the incident to improve the process.


2014 Hiroshima landslides, Cause
Under the law which took effect in 2001, prefectural governments and other authorities must carry out on-site research to designate areas for which evacuation plans and hazard maps will be created. In Hiroshima there are about 32,000 possibly dangerous areas, the highest of all 47 prefectures.


2014 Hiroshima landslides, Casualties
As of 20 September 2014, at least 70 people have died as a result of the landslides. One of the dead was a rescue worker killed after the hillside collapsed a second time. Two children, aged 2 and 11, died in a mudslide in Asaminami-ku around 3:20am. The number of casualties was initially feared to be 100. The number missing was reported to be 52 on the morning of 22 August, but in the afternoon it was revised to 47, then to 46 on the morning of the 23rd, and later on the morning of the same day to 43. On 9 September, police announced that they had found one body, which has since been identified. Another body was found on 18 September, which has since then been also identified.


2014 Hiroshima landslides, Casualties

An estimated 2,000–3,600 rescuers consisting of firefighters, police and members of the Self-Defense Force took part in searching and clearing debris despite rain and dangerous conditions that hampered and sometimes halted their efforts. There was also ongoing risk for a secondary disaster, and more rain was forecast for the area. Consequently, residents on Asakita and Asaminami were told to evacuate. Because schools were being used as shelters, several had to postpone the start dates. All elementary school shelters were closed 1 November.
