A court heard that a schoolboy allegedly stabbed his teacher, Vicki Williams, in the head after asking her to check his work, with the prosecution describing her as a 'lone female teacher' and an 'easy target'.

Comcast has promoted Vicki Williams to the newly created position of chief human resources officer, where she will lead HR teams across the company's entire media and cable businesses, in addition to her current role as head of HR at NBCUniversal.
