National Archives Yes, its that time again, folks. Its the first Friday of the month, when for one ever-so-brief moment the interests of Wall Street, Washington and Main Street are all aligned on one thing: Jobs. A fresh update on the U.S. employment situation for January hits the wires at 8:30 a.m. New York time offering one of the most important snapshots on how the economy fared during the previous month. Expectations are for 203,000 new jobs to be created, according to economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires, compared to 227,000 jobs added in February. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 8.3%. Here at MarketBeat HQ, well be offering color commentary before and after the data crosses the wires. Feel free to weigh-in yourself, via the comments section. And while youre here, why dont you sign up to follow us on Twitter. Enjoy the show. Employers pulled back sharply on hiring last month, a reminder that the U.S. economy may not be growing fast enough to sustain robust job growth. The unemployment rate dipped, but mostly because more Americans stopped looking for work. The Labor Department says the economy added 120,000 jobs in March, down from more than 200,000 in each of the previous three months. The unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent, the lowest since January 2009. The rate dropped because fewer people searched for jobs. The official unemployment tally only includes those seeking work. The economy has added 858,000 jobs since December _ the best four months of hiring in two years. But Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has cautioned that the current hiring pace is unlikely to continue without more consumer spending. Tóm tắt bài báo đã cho

The unemployment rate dropped to 8.2% last month, but the economy only added 120,000 jobs, when 203,000 new jobs had been predicted, according to todays jobs report. Reaction on the Wall Street Journals MarketBeat Blog was swift: Woah!!! Bad number. The unemployment rate, however, is better news; it had been expected to hold steady at 8.3%. But the AP notes that the dip is mostly due to more Americans giving up on seeking employment.

Summarize the main idea of this news: GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) A small, private jet has crashed into a house in Marylands Montgomery County on Monday, killing at least three people on board, authorities said. Preliminary information indicates at least three people were on board and didnt survive the Monday crash into home in Gaithersburg, a Washington, D.C. suburb, said Pete Piringer, a Montgomery County Fire and Rescue spokesman. He said a fourth person may have been aboard. Piringer said the jet crashed into one home around 11 a.m., setting it and two others on fire. Crews had the fire under control within an hour and were searching for anyone who may have been in the homes. Television news footage of the scene showed one home nearly destroyed, with a car in the driveway. Witnesses told television news crews that they saw the airplane appear to struggle to maintain altitude before going into a nosedive and crashing. An FAA spokesman said preliminary information shows the Embraer EMB-500/Phenom 100 twin-engine jet was on approach at the nearby Montgomery County Airpark. The National Transportation Safety Board is sending an investigator to the scene. Gemmell family (Photo: Facebook) GAITHERSBURG, Md.

A twin-engine Embraer jet that the FAA describes as on approach to Runway 14 at the Montgomery County Airpark in Gaithersburg, Maryland, crashed into a home this morning, engulfing that home in flames and setting two others on fire. Three people are dead, but the count could grow. A Montgomery County Fire rep says three fliers were killed in the crash, but notes the corporate plane may have had a fourth person on board, reports the AP. A relative of the owner of the home that was hit tells WUSA 9 that a mother with three children pre-school age and under should have been home at the time; theres no word on the familys whereabouts. The crash occurred around 11am on Drop Forge Lane, and the fire was extinguished within an hour. Crews are now searching the wreckage. A witness noted the plane appeared to wobble before the crash; the airport is no more than 3/4 mile from the crash scene. NTSB and FAA will investigate.

Tucker Carlson Exposes His Own Sexism on Twitter (Updated) Tucker Carlson has done some good work in the past His site, The Daily Caller, is a frequent stop of mine and many other Conservatives. They were responsible for exposing the Journolist scandal, which highlighted the planning and coordination of many members of the left-wing press. I will always be grateful to Tuckers team for bringing that story to light. This is also why I am so angered by Tuckers recent actions. I thought he was better than this. If you havent heard by now, Monday evening, Tucker Carlson posted a disturbing tweet about Governor Palin which said: Palins popularity falling in Iowa, but maintains lead to become supreme commander of Milfistan Aside from Tuckers sheep-like response to warped poll numbers, he also failed to take ownership of his sexist comment. He deleted the original (which is why I had to link to a retweet) obviously aware that what he had posted was wrong. Unfortunately for him, many people had already seen it and responded. You cant put the toothpaste back in the tube, Tucker. Is this the sort of treatment that Conservative women, who want to get involved in the process, are expected to put up with? Is it okay for male columnists (Conservative or otherwise) to continue objectifying women in the world of politics? No its not! The best thing Tucker Carlson could do, is admit that what he tweeted was wrong, apologize to Governor Palin, and urge his fellow colleagues to be respectful with their language and written word. What he did was demeaning and offensive, and there is no place for it in Conservative circles. Update: This is a poor attempt at an apology. Tucker Carlson tries to cover his tracks this morning by repeating the same mistakes he made last night. He wrote: Apparently Charlie Sheen got control of my Twitter account last night while I was at dinner. Apologies for his behavior. He didnt take responsibility for his comment and he fails horribly at humor. Try again, and... Cho tôi nội dung chính của bài báo đã cho

Tucker Carlson is in deep doodoo with conservative women after an ill-advised tweet referencing Sarah Palin that he posted, then removed, Monday night. Palins popularity falling in Iowa, but maintains lead to become supreme commander of Milfistan, he tweetedand we probably dont need to tell you where that is. His first attempt at an apology, which he tweeted the next morning: Apparently Charlie Sheen got control of my Twitter account last night while I was at dinner. Apologies for his behavior. That wasnt good enough for many conservative women, Politico notes, rounding up reactions from bloggers to Michelle Malkin calling his behavior sexist and misogynistic. By late Tuesday, Carlson had offered up a more sincere-sounding apology: Im sorry for last nights tweet. I meant absolutely no offense. Not the first dumb thing Ive said. Hopefully the last. But at least one manErick Erickson, editor of RedState.comwas on Carlsons side, tweeting his reaction to the post in question: I laughed then got out my passport.

A man accused of removing another mans testicle during a meeting in a Port Macquarie motel room has pleaded guilty to a string of charges. Allan George Matthews, 57, appeared in Port Macquarie Local Court on Wednesday morning for the first time since his arrest in Glen Innes, last month. SHARE Share on Facebook SHARE Share on Twitter TWEET Link A man has pleaded guilty after unauthorised surgery to remove anothers testicle. During the proceedings, Matthews solicitor Douglas Hannaway entered pleas of guilty to removing tissue from the body of another without consent or authority. He has pleaded not guilty to the more serious charge of reckless grievous bodily harm. Magistrate Dominique Burns ordered police to compile a brief of evidence by next month and serve it on Matthews defence before it returns to court in mid-August. The charges stem from an incident in a motel room in Port Macquarie on May 16. Advertisement Police allege Matthews met a 52-year-old man and surgically removed his left testicle. It is the crowns case that Matthews is not qualified or authorised to perform such a procedure, and is not a qualified or registered medical practitioner. The 52-year-old alleged victim attended the motel room after posting an advertisement online requesting assistance with a medical issue, police claim. After the alleged incident, the man then attended hospital a week later to repair the wound he suffered to his testicle. The hospital visit triggered an investigation by Mid North Coast police who raided Matthews home in Glen Innes on June 23. They seized medical equipment, electronic equipment, seven firearms and four bottles of what they suspected to be amyl nitrate. In court, Matthews pleaded guilty to not keeping a pistol safely, possessing an unauthorised firearm, not keeping a firearm safely, and two counts of possessing or attempting to prescribe restricted substance. According to court documents, the 57-year-old did not enter a plea to... Tóm tắt văn bản trên

What are the three most horrifying words in the English language? Wrong. The correct answer is amateur testicle surgery. The BBC reports 56-year-old Allan Matthews pleaded guilty Wednesday to removing another mans left testicle at an Australian motel despite not being qualified to practice medicine. The unsanctioned surgery took place in May after a 52-year-old man posted an ad online seeking help for a medical issue, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. The man was apparently still suffering after being kicked in the groin by a horse years earlier but couldnt afford an actual doctor. A week after Matthews allegedly removed the mans testicle, infection set in. The man went to the hospital, and the police launched an investigation. Authorities say a raid of Matthews home last month turned up medical equipment, seven guns, and four bottles of what may be amyl nitrate. In addition to performing surgery without being a doctor, Matthews also pleaded guilty to gun and drug charges. He did not plead guilty to inflicting reckless grievous bodily harm. AAP reports Matthews is out on bail until another hearing next month. (An Oregon man claimed surgery left him with an 80-pound scrotum.)

Calls to suicide hotlines have spiked dramatically since the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdainnot an unusual phenomenon in the wake of celebrity suicides. The Wall Street Journal reports on a 25% uptick at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255) since Spades death, while USA Today attributed a similar rise to both celebs, and a New Jersey hotline experienced a 70% increase in calls Friday morning. Were so extremely busy, says Rachel Larkin, who heads a crisis-prevention center in Maryland. I think were all worried. ... Both Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain are people a lot of people related to. Celebrity suicides have been linked to suicide increases before. Marilyn Monroes 1962 death, for example, preceded a 12% spike in suicides nationwide, the Wrap reports. When people who have suicidal thoughts see seemingly happy, famous and wealthy people dying of suicide, it makes them feel more hopeless, says Lauren Foster, who heads a hotline in Raleigh, North Carolina. They think if they died, whats to stop me? But suicide-prevention advocates are emphasizing that hotlines do help and peoples calls will go through, despite the surge this week.

Croatia swastika: Hosts apologise for Nazi pitch symbol The Croatian Football Federation has apologised after a swastika symbol was marked on to the pitch ahead of their Euro 2016 home qualifier against Italy. This is sabotage and a felony, said Tomislav Pacak, a Croatian Football Federation (HNS) spokesman. We expect police to identify the perpetrators. This is a disgrace not just for the HNS but for the whole of Croatia. The game was played behind closed doors after Croatia were punished for racist chants by fans against Norway in March. Pacak added that Uefa had been told about the incident, which overshadowed the 1-1 draw between the two sides who are vying for top spot in Group H. The swastika - widely recognised as the symbol of Nazi Germany - was seen during the first half and although ground staff at the stadium in Split tried to cover it up at half-time they were not successful. It is unknown whether the symbol was mowed or painted into the grass, or who is responsible. As far as we have learned, the symbol was imprinted into the pitch between 24 and 48 hours before the match so that it could be visible during the game, added Pacak. We apologise to all fans watching the game on television, to both teams and to our guests from Italy for the Nazi symbol. Novembers reverse fixture in Milan was stopped twice for crowd trouble, with riot police involved. Croatia were forced to close part of their stadium for Marchs game against Norway as a punishment for their fans behaviour at the San Siro. But the supporters who did attend the Norway game caused more problems, leading to the Italy game to be played in an empty stadium. Its one of our problems and we are working to fix it, said Davor Suker, the president of the Croatian football association. Well speak about it on Saturday, but Im very angry. ?

November 21, 2016 An Open Letter to Local and State Educational Agencies & Policymakers: On behalf of the National Womens Law Center and the undersigned organizations and individuals, we call on local, state, and federal policymakers to address the damaging use of corporal punishment against our nations schoolchildren. It is important to eliminate the use of corporal punishment in both public schools and private schools, which serve students receiving federal services, as well as assist in creating a safer learning environment for every child. Instead, we urge policymakers to ensure that our schools are places where students and educators interact in positive ways that foster students growth and dignity. More than 109,000 students were subjected to corporal punishment in public schools in the 2013-14 school year down from 163,333 in the 2011-12 school year. Despite the decline in instances and the many problems associated with the hitting or paddling of students, corporal punishment is a legal form of school discipline in 19 states. Corporal punishment is often used for a wide range of misbehaviors; for example, 37 percent of corporal punishment used in North Carolina during the 2013-14 school year were for minor or subjective offenses like bus misbehavior, disrespect of staff, cell phone use, inappropriate language and other misbehaviors. Aside from the infliction of pain and physical injury that often result from the use of physical punishment, these violent disciplinary methods impact students academic achievement and long-term well-being. Harsh physical punishments do not improve students in-school behavior or academic performance. In... Tóm tắt văn bản trên

Education Secretary John King has a message for states where physical discipline is permitted in schools, per USA Today: Quit it. In a letter to governors and state school chiefs, King says 22 statesmostly in the South and Weststill allow corporal punishment or dont forbid it. He implores them to stop the harmful and ineffective practice, saying it teaches kids that getting physical is OK to solve problems. He also points out that some corporal punishment taking place in schools would be considered criminal assault or battery in real-world settings. About 80 groupsincluding the NAACPlent their support to a similar letter penned Monday by the National Womens Law Center, reports CBS News. Corporal punishment of adults has been banned in prisons and in military training facilities, and its time we do the same for our nations schoolchildren, an NWLC rep says. King also notes that physical punishment isnt applied equitably to all students. For example, even though black students make up about 16% of attendees in public elementary and secondary schools, theyre on the receiving end of one-third of the corporal punishment. Boys are subjected to 80% of such acts, while students with disabilities also tend to be victims more so than other students. These data and disparities shock the conscience, King writes. (Alabama paddled 19K students in one school year.)

Summarize the news: Vantage Energy operates the natural gas drilling site on the grounds of Lake Arlington Baptist Church. (Photo: WFAA) ARLINGTON Two months ago, 100 homes in Arlington had to be evacuated as fracking fluid spilled out of a drilling site onto the city streets. Now we know officially what happened, why it happened, and why Arlington officials are blaming the drilling company for unacceptable behavior. A series of video recordings obtained by News 8 shows the scene behind the walls of a fracking site 600 feet from a cluster of homes in the states seventh largest city. In the incident, 42,800 gallons of fracking fluid boiling up from thousands of feet underground spewed into the streets and into Arlington storm sewers and streams. WFAA obtained this video that shows a leak of fracking fluid from an Arlington drilling site (Photo: WFAA) Four attempts and 24 hours later, experts were finally able to plug the natural gas well. Nearby residents and Arlington officials feared the worst. Now, two months later, fire officials have concluded their investigation. Clearly there was a release of unpermitted materials into the stormwater system, said Arlington Fire Chief Don Crowson as he addressed Arlington City Council members on Tuesday. The good news, according to Crowson: Despite numerous toxic substances being released into the environment, tests show it was not in amounts that did significant damage to the environment. The bad news? He said the drilling company mishandled the spill. For my concerns, the main issue I articulated to you a few months ago was the delayed notification of 911, Crowson said. Its not acceptable. According to the report, Vantage Energy first contacted 911 nearly two hours after fracking water first started to spill. Whats more, the call to 911 came not from the site, but from corporate headquarters in Pennsylvania. This is unacceptable behavior, said City Council member Robert Rivera. The citizens of Arlington do not appreciate the lack of...

A massive leak of fracking fluid poured into the streets of Arlington, Texas, two months ago and forced the evacuation of a hundred homes. Now city officials have taken Vantage Energy to task for its unacceptable handling of the 43,000-gallon spill, WFAA reports. During a city council meeting yesterday, it emerged that Vantage had taken nearly two hours to call 911 despite the risk of a gas leak. This is unacceptable behavior, says an Arlington city council member. According to Fire Chief Don Crowson, the two-hour delay was no joke: Were not kidding around about the 911 issue, he tells the Star-Telegram during a break in city council. It could have ended in a bad outcome. Two hours advance notice could have helped a lot. Still, officials say the environmental damage was not extensive and Vantage has been cooperative. So what happened, exactly? According to the citys report, a Vantage well site sprung a leak on April 11, which allowed fracking water and chemicals to boil up into Arlingtons streets, storm sewers, and streams. Because the fracking fluid had been fracturing shale and freeing gas under high pressure, natural gas could have leaked at any time. Now WFAA says a 1,500-gallon spill occurred at the same location a month before, and NBC-Dallas/Fort Worth reports that the site is close to reopening. I just assumed this was a residential area and it would be free from industrial hazardous operations, says a resident after hearing about the earlier spill. Now we see its not.

Photo: Roy Hsu In the low-down world of dining and dashing, there are classy thieves and then there are people like Paul Gonzales, an alleged serial check-skipper from L.A., whose method involves setting up a dinner date, then ditching the woman before the check arrives. CBS Los Angeles reports that his latest victim is a Bumble match he invited to the local BJs brewhouse, where he ordered a steak, a Caesar salad with a side of shrimp, a baked potato, and a glass of wine. Once hed worked his way through most of that haul (he left maybe half a baked potato, the woman says), he said he needed to take a phone call. Thats the last anyone at the restaurant saw of Paul Gonzales. Hes reportedly swindled at least two other women with this same trick. One of them says he showed up very complimentary at a romantic restaurant in Long Beach, but things got weird really fast: He ordered more than 100 worth of food, including an extra entrée he claimed was necessary because hes a bodybuilder. On that occasion, he disappeared during an alleged bathroom trip. Not surprisingly at all, Gonzales has a police record with multiple misdemeanors, two warrants out for his arrest, and once even committed something called a snip and ditch, which involved him fleeing a hair salon still wearing a smock. Amazingly, when it comes to online dating, women can somehow still do worse. LONG BEACH (CBSLA.com) A second woman has come forward to tell the tale of a romantic date gone wrong when the man she met on social media dined, dashed and stiffed her with bill. KCAL9s Andrea Fujii on Thursday talked to the woman who didnt want to be identified. She had no problem identifying her date Paul Gonzales. She said they met on a dating website in May.

Paul Gonzales approach to dating is similar to that of many men. He meets women online and invites them out to dinner. But heres where he allegedly diverges: According to CBS Los Angeles, 44-year-old Gonzales has been dining and dashing at area restaurants, leaving behind unsuspecting women hes asked out on blind dates. CBS reported in August that Gonzales had left two women to pay the bill after walking out on restaurant dates last summer. One of the women described how hed eaten 100 worth of food at a restaurant in Long Beachexplaining he had to order two entrees because hes a bodybuilderbefore saying he was going to the bathroom. She never saw him again. Now, the man Grub Street identifies as perhaps the worlds worst dinner date appears to have struck again. A woman, identified by WTOL as Beth, says she met Dave Gonzales on Bumble before agreeing to dinner at a restaurant in Pasadena. Gonzales ordered a glass of pinot, a Caesar salad with a side of shrimp, a steak, and a baked potato and ate most of the meal before excusing himself to take a phone call, Beth says. He never returned, a text went unanswered, and his Bumble profile was later removed, adds Beth, who soon after learned of Gonzales alleged notoriety. She says she wants his disgusting ruse to stop. According to police, Gonzales has also walked out of a salon, still clad in a smock, without paying for a haircut and color. Hes wanted on two bench warrants as a result of misdemeanor charges, including petty theft. (This blind date was more shocking.)

Remember, all this ice bucket nonsense is for a good cause - donate to the ALS Association and help Strike Out ALS! And watch Beth Stern take the ice bucket challenge too!

Howard Stern has nominated an interesting trio to complete the ice bucket challenge after him. Trouble is, one of them is dead, reports E! Online. In a bizarre video posted to YouTube yesterday, a bare-chested Stern plops an ice cube into a shot glass of water, then pours it over his head, immediately succumbing to mock shivers before hopping off camera. But first he challenges the very much alive Barbara Walters and Mark Consuelos, plus the quite dead Casey Kasem, to douse themselves with ice water next. Stern is aware of Kasems death at age 82, E! notes, as hes discussed it on his radio show.

Summarize the main idea of this news: What appears to be court stenographers note appears online after Mr Justice Peter Smith stands up for airline passengers everywhere A document appearing to be the full transcript of a judges bench badgering of British Airways over his lost luggage has emerged. Fleet Street last week cast the Chancery Courts Mr Justice Peter Smith whom The Times newspaper described as one of the legal professions more colourful figures as the common air travellers hero after he castigated lawyers for the worlds favourite airline. But the bench-slapping had nothing to do with their submissions in the 3 billion lawsuit Smith was hearing a spat in which BA was accused of colluding to fix air cargo charges. Instead it related to an entirely unrelated incident which had seen Smiths luggage go missing on a BA flight during a recent trip to Italy. Legal Cheek cannot verify the authenticity of the document that is doing the rounds of legal London. However, it appears to be a comprehensive transcript of the court stenographers note. Emerald Supplies Ltd v British Airways Taking the brunt of Smiths ire was Jon Turner, a silk of nine years standing from Monkton Chambers in Grays Inn. As BAs lead counsel on the day, Turner came in for repeated questioning regarding the loss of Smiths luggage during his recent trip Florence. At one stage the judge threatened to haul BAs pugnacious Irish chief executive, Willie Walsh, before the court to answer some pretty searching questions on the missing luggage front. Sadly that didnt happen, as it would have been one hell of a bout. Now, Smith is no stranger to courtroom antics. The judge once famously inserted his own coded message into a judgment he handed down on a copyright case concerning best-selling thriller novel The Da Vince Code. In the most recent case, according to the transcript, Smith repeatedly cross-examined BAs lawyers about the lost luggage, while, in turn, they desperately tried to bring the proceedings back to the matter of the trial. In...

Anyone whose luggage has been lost by an airline now has a patron saint in the form of Justice Peter Smith in Britain. When lawyers for British Airways showed up in his court to argue a 4.6 billion price-fixing case, Smith had smaller fish to fry: He wanted to know why the airline lost his luggage on a recent trip to Italy, reports the Legal Cheek blog. The questioning of BA counsel Jon Turner is priceless, as relayed by the Independent: Mr Turner, here is a question for you. What happened to [the] luggage? When Turner replies that theyre actually in court for a different matter, Smith wont be put off: In that case, do you want me to order your chief executive to appear before me today? Turner again tries to deflect the questioning, but Smith responds, What is inappropriate is the continued failure of your clients to explain a simple question: namely, what happened to the luggage? It has been two weeks since that happened now. This goes on for a while, and the BA lawyers ask Smith to recuse himself from the case theyre supposed to be arguing because hes biased. Smith reluctantly agrees to do so. Entertaining yes, but whether it was good judgeship remains to be seenthe Times of London reports that judicial conduct authorities are investigating.

Help me summarize this article: Slideshow: Tornadoes ravage Plains Sue Ogrocki / AP A monster tornado hit Moore, Okla., Monday afternoon, leaving scores dead as the threat for more storms continues. Launch slideshow About 9.5 million people remained under the threat of more large and devastating tornadoes Tuesday as the storm system that devastated the suburbs of Oklahoma City moved east, forecasters warned. Weather Channel meteorologist Kevin Roth said early Tuesday that the threat area appeared to be east and south of Oklahoma City. Tornadoes, damaging wind gusts and large hail are possible throughout the threat area, Roth said. More from weather.com The greatest tornado threat will exist in northeast Texas, far southeast Oklahoma, southwest Arkansas and northwest Louisiana. A few strong tornadoes are possible in those states. On Tuesday afternoon The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Bowie County, Texas, which borders Arkansas in the northeast part of the state. Michael Welch captures dramatic video of twister from a KFC parking lot in Newcastle, Oklahoma. Roth said that cities including Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Shreveport, Texarkana and Little Rock were among the cities close to the the larger tornado threat. A tornado watch was issued for Dallas-Fort Worth as well as all of north and central Texas until 8 p.m. ET. The Dallas zoo closed Tuesday afternoon due to the forecast. Strong wind gusts have been reported in the area but so far no tornadoes. Areas of Arkansas were under a tornado watch until 11 p.m. ET. Another day of large and devastating tornadoes is possible this time from central/east Texas into central Arkansas, Roth said. Severe threat continues farther to the east Wednesday, although the overall severity appears to be lower. Weather Channel forecaster Bill Karins told MSNBC that 9.5 million people lived in the area at most risk of more tornadoes. He said the likely pattern for twisters was the same as in recent days, with the biggest risk...

The tornado threat isnt over: Large and devastating storms could continue today, forecasters say. We could have a Round 3, says a CNN meteorologist. Hopefully, it wont be as bad. But tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and large hail could hit areas east and south of Oklahoma City, with cities from Dallas to Little Rock also at risk, says a Weather Channel forecaster. Some 9.5 million people could face further major tornadoes, a forecaster tells MSNBC, while CNN says 53 million could see severe weather today. Areas from Dallas to Shreveport face the biggest danger from mid-afternoon to late evening hours, says another CNN expert. Storms could also strike from the Great Lakes across the Mississippi River Valley and into central Texas, according to the National Weather Service. The threat moves further eastward tomorrow, although the overall severity appears to be lower, adds a Weather Channel expert. Click for more.

Weener said the bus was equipped with a new engine in 2005, which means it is likely that the engines electronic control module has an event data recorder function. Such a device could provide information about how the vehicle was functioning, including its potential speed, the position of the accelerator pedal and even whether the brakes were applied.

The tread on four of the eight tires on a tour bus that slammed into a truck and killed 13 people on Interstate 10 were below government standards, an official said Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2016, though the cause... (Associated Press) LOS ANGELES (AP) The treads on half the tires of a tour bus that slammed into a tractor-trailer on a desert freeway, killing 13 people, were worn down to an unsafe level, a federal investigator said as authorities worked to determine the cause of one of Californias deadliest highway crashes. The condition of the four faulty tires meant the 1996 bus was out of compliance with federal standards and could have been taken out of service, Earl Weener, a board member of the National Transportation Safety Board, said at a news conference Tuesday in Palm Desert, near the site of Sundays crash that also injured 31 people on Interstate 10. Despite the discovery, the cause of the crash remained undetermined and the NTSB was expected to take about a year to complete its investigation. The California Highway Patrol has said there was no indication that the driver, Teodulo Elias Vides, applied his brakes before hitting the truck that was going about 5 mph because of utility work being done in the area. The bus was traveling at freeway speed, officials said. Vides was among those killed in the crash. ... Cho tôi nội dung chính của bài báo đã cho

If tour bus company owner-driver Teodulo Elias Vides hadnt been one of 13 people killed in a horrific crash on Interstate 10 near Palm Springs, Calif., on Sunday, authorities would probably have some tough questions for him. Authorities say half the tires on the bus he was driving, including both steer axle tires, were worn down to an unsafe level, which would have been enough for inspectors to take the bus out of service, the AP reports. The bus, which was on its way to Los Angeles from the Red Earth Casino in Salton Sea Beach, plowed into the back of a big rig and its not clear whether Vides attempted to brake first. The full National Transportation Safety Board investigation could take up to a year. Vides, 59, had been sued twice for negligence over incidents involving his USA Holiday company, which is listed as having just one bus, the Los Angeles Times reports. In a 2007 incident, three people died when a USA Holiday bus hit a Honda Civic on a freeway in Riverside, Calif. The company also received at least six unsatisfactory ratings from the California Highway Patrol for issues including maintenance, and Vides had several traffic citations on his record. The victims, whose ages range from 50 to 72, were mostly seated near the front of the bus, reports the Press Enterprise. Another 31 people were injured.

As promised, The Simpsons 26th season premiere saw the highly anticipated demise of a beloved Springfield resident on Sunday. So now, we gather here to mourn the loss of Krustys father, Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky (voiced by the great Jackie Mason), whos been a part of the Simpsons universe since reuniting with his estranged, red-nosed son in 1991. RELATED Family Guy Meets The Simpsons: 14 Photos From the Crossover Episode Lets begin with what Im sure is the first question on all of your minds: Why Krustys dad? I just thought it would be a good story about someone whos had a tough relationship with his father having Krustys father die without him ever getting that warmth or connection he really wanted, then finally finding it in a surprising way, executive producer Al Jean explains to TVLine. If we could get a sweet moment out of that, thats all we wanted. We didnt want a crazy death, or anything shocking, just true human emotion. And even though The Simpsons doesnt serialize things too often, Jean acknowledges that Krustys fathers death is likely to have an impact on the character moving forward. One of the reasons Krustys been such a loose cannon is because his father disapproved of him, and he never felt like he got that sort of love that he wanted, Jean says. He might have a little more confidence now that he has that. A little more.

Fans of The Simpsons who thought theyd be yelling Doh! last night were ranting Dud! this morning. Viewers had been warned for months that what was rumored to be a major character would be killed off during the premiere of the shows 26th season last night, the Los Angeles Times reports. There was a character who kicked the cartoon bucket, but it wasnt exactly a major one: It was Rabbi Hyman Krustofski, Krusty the Clowns dad, voiced by comedian Jackie Mason, a character that only appeared in a handful of episodes, the Times notes. Reaction to the Clown in the Dumps episode ranged from mild, NPR-style disappointment to outright irritation: Tim Donnelly writes in the New York Post that the death (and preceding teasers) were a lame play for attention by a show desperate to stay relevant. One Twitter user quoted in the Times complained, Krustys dad died... Um, Krusty had a Dad? Never heard of him. Wasted anticipation. Producer Al Jean insists he has always said the untimely death was overhyped and that he never promised it would be one of the more-popular characters. I never said its an iconic characterI never used those words, he tells Entertainment Weekly. In fact, he assures fans that favorites will never be purposely annihilated before series end. Were never going to kill off Homer, or even Krusty, he tells TVLine. This show is always running in syndication, and we dont want you to feel bad every time you see an old character that you loved.

Help me summarize this article: Taiwan has been governed separately from the mainland since 1949, when the American-supported Nationalist forces retreated to the island after being defeated in the Chinese civil war by the Communists. Evan S. Medeiros, who until this year was the top official overseeing Asia at the National Security Council, said that the explicit threat of sanctions against companies differed from earlier sales, when the threat was more implicit. At the same time, Mr. Medeiros noted, earlier arms sales resulted in the suspension of meetings between the two militaries, which was not part of Chinas initial response to the sale this time. Mr. Medeiros, who now leads the Asia practice for the Eurasia Group in Washington, said that the timing of the sale, coming before next months presidential elections in Taiwan, helped to reduce the diplomatic fallout. Video Taiwans president, Ma Ying-jeou, has sought to improve ties with mainland China and met last month in Singapore with President Xi Jinping of China, the first time the leaders of Taiwan and China had ever held a summit meeting. But Mr. Mas party, the Kuomintang, is expected to lose the presidency to the Democratic Progressive Party, which favors a more distant relationship with the mainland and the assertion of Taiwans own identity. The timing clearly was calibrated to avoid having to do it after the election, Mr. Medeiros said, speaking in a telephone interview from Taiwan, where he was meeting officials. That would have been particularly provocative. The sale is significantly smaller than the 5.8 billion package approved by the United States in 2011, and it is not expected to alter the military balance across the Taiwan Strait, which has tilted in Beijings favor after years of large increases in military spending by the mainland, whose annual military budget is now more than 13 times greater than Taiwans. Absent from the arms package is any assistance from the United States to help build diesel-electric submarines, a top priority for Taiwan, which...

The US stands by the one-China policy, but that doesnt mean it cant sell weapons directly to Taiwan, citing ithe Taiwan Relations Act to ensure Taiwan can adequately defend itselfand China isnt happy about it. The Obama administration announced a 1.8 billion arms package sale to Congress on Wednesday, Reuters reports, including guided-missile frigates, anti-tank missiles, Amphibious Assault Vehicles, and 416 million worth of guns, ammo, and other supplies. The announcement came amid reports that the US had stalled the sale to avoid hearing about it from China, which still claims Taiwan as a territory, per the Wall Street Journal. Reuters notes the sale comes as US-China relations simmer over the latters man-made islands in the South China Sea and US patrols in those waters. China notes its going to sanction the companies involved in the sale (including Lockheed Martin and Raytheon), with a foreign ministry official telling Xinhua that the sale flouts international rules and severely damages Chinas sovereignty. Chinas government and companies will not carry out cooperation and commercial dealings with these types of companies, a ministry spokesman says. A Pentagon spokesman gave the equivalent of an eyeroll Wednesday, per the New York Times, noting, The Chinese can react to this as they see fit. Its a [clear-eyed], sober view of an assessment of Taiwans defense needs. Theres no need for it to have any derogatory effect on our relationship with China. Meanwhile, the AP notes that China has issued similar threats before, with no evidence theyve had any meaningful effect. (All this despite a lengthy handshake last month.)

James Holmes, the accused gunman in last Fridays midnight movie massacre in Colorado, mailed a notebook full of details about how he was going to kill people to a University of Colorado psychiatrist before the attack, and the parcel may have sat unopened in a mailroom for up to a week before its discovery Monday, a law enforcement source told FoxNews.com. Inside the package was a notebook full of details about how he was going to kill people, the source told FoxNews.com. There were drawings of what he was going to do in it -- drawings and illustrations of the massacre. Among the images shown in the spiral-bound notebooks pages were gun-wielding stick figures blowing away other stick figures. The source said police and FBI agents were called to the University of Colorado Anschutz medical campus in Aurora on Monday morning after the psychiatrist, who is also a professor at the school, reported receiving a package believed to be from the suspect. Although that package turned out to be from someone else and harmless, a search of the Campus Services mailroom turned up another package sent to the psychiatrist with Holmes name in the return address, the source told FoxNews.com. A second law enforcement source said authorities got a warrant from a county judge and took the package away Monday night. When it was opened, its chilling contents were revealed. The first source on Tuesday told FoxNews.com the package had been in the mailroom since July 12, though another source who confirmed the discovery to FoxNews.com could not say if the package arrived prior to Fridays massacre. It was not clear why it had not been delivered to the psychiatrist. The notebook is now in possession of the FBI, sources told FoxNews.com. The University of Colorado Denver issued a statement Wednesday evening confirming that a suspicious package was found, but called the July 12 timeline inaccurate. The university said it was delivered Monday and found on the same day. When told of the universitys statement, a... Tóm tắt bài báo đã cho

Prosecutors have all but nixed James Holmes reported offer of a guilty plea to dodge the death penalty. Theyre extremely unlikely to accept the proposal without specific access to information on Holmes that, so far, his team has refused to provide, they say, per the Denver Post. Whats more, there is notand has never beenan actual or unqualified offer to plead guilty, prosecutors wrote in an angry filing yesterday accusing Holmes team of a misleading publicity stunt. The prosecutors filing, signed by district attorney George Brauchler himself rather than a deputy, also took issue with defense suggestions about a lengthy series of pretrial hearings, among other concerns. Brauchler accused the defense of an attempt to deliberately prejudice the public, witnesses, and victims against the People. Meanwhile, he called on the judge to reject a defense motion calling for action against the prosecution for allegedly leaking information to the press. Brauchler is poised to announce whether hell seek the death penalty on Monday.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis, starting Holy Week services leading to Easter, urged young people on Sunday to keep shouting and not allow the older generations to silence their voices or anesthetize their idealism.

He did not mention the demonstrations. Catholic News Service (CNS) said Gabriella Zuniga, 16, and her sister Valentina, 15, both students from Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, where 17 people were killed in February, attended the service with their parents.

A day after hundreds of thousands of young people took to the streets to call for gun control, an old man used his bully pulpit to urge them to keep shouting, reports Reuters. Speaking at his Palm Sunday Mass, 81-year-old Pope Francis warned that the temptation to silence young people has always existed, along with ways to sedate them, to keep them from getting involved, to make their dreams flat and dreary, petty and plaintive. But, reports the AP, he told young people that It is up to you not to keep quiet. Even if others keep quiet, if we older people and leaders, some corrupt, keep quiet, if the whole world keeps quiet and loses its joy, I ask you: Will you cry out? The response from the crowd: Yes!

DENVER, March 24, 2015 -- Chocolate has many health benefits -- it can potentially lower blood pressure and cholesterol and reduce stroke risk. But just as connoisseurs thought it couldnt get any better, theres this tasty new tidbit: Researchers have found a way to make the treat even more nutritious -- and sweeter. They will describe their research here today at the 249th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the worlds largest scientific society. The meeting features nearly 11,000 reports on new advances in science and other topics. It is being held here through Thursday. Cocoa undergoes several steps before it takes shape as a candy bar. Workers cut down pods from cocoa trees, then split open the pods to remove the white or purple cocoa beans. They are fermented in banana-lined baskets for a few days and then set out to dry in the sun. Roasting, the next step, brings out the flavor. But some of the healthful polyphenols (antioxidants) are lost during the roasting process, so the researchers wanted to figure out a way to retain as much of the polyphenols and good flavors as possible. We decided to add a pod-storage step before the beans were even fermented to see whether that would have an effect on the polyphenol content, says Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Ph.D., who is at the University of Ghana. This is not traditionally done, and this is what makes our research fundamentally different. Its also not known how roasting affects polyphenol content. Afoakwas team divided 300 pods into four groups that were either not stored at all or stored for three, seven or 10 days before processing. This technique is called pulp preconditioning. After each storage period passed, fermentation and drying were done as usual. He reports that the seven-day storage resulted in the highest antioxidant activity after roasting. To assess the effects of roasting, the researchers took samples from each of the storage groups and roasted them at the same temperature for different times....

One of your vices could one day be a little more virtuous: Scientists are today announcing that theyve figured out how to make chocolate healthier. The findings will be detailed by researchers from Belgiums Ghent University and the University of Ghana at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Denver, and center around how antioxidant-rich the sweet is. As a press release explains, it all comes down to tweaking the process. Cocoa beans are removed from pods, fermented in baskets, sun-dried, and then roasted. Its during that last step, the roasting, that polyphenols, which act as antioxidants, are partially lost. In a bid to up the polyphenol content, researchers added a nontraditional step that makes our research fundamentally different, explains Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa: pulp preconditioning. That simply means they stored the podsin the case of their experiments, for zero, three, seven, or 10 daysbefore removing the beans and beginning the fermentation process. A sweet pulp rests between the pod and the beans, and Afoakwa believes the preconditioning gives the pulp time to affect those beans. Indeed, the researchers found that those stored for a week showed the highest antioxidant activity after roastingwhich they also adjusted. Rather than heat the beans for the typical 10 to 20 minutes at 248-266 degrees, they lowered the temp to 242 and upped the roasting time to 45 minutes, and discovered that slower and lower was also best in terms of antioxidant activity. The researchers abstract notes another benefit: Pulp preconditioning and roasting duration could be used to reduce the astringency and bitterness, improving chocolates flavor.

CLOSE President Donald Trump picks OMB director Mick Mulvaney to replace departing White House chief of staff John Kelly. USA TODAY CFPB Acting Director Mick Mulvaney (Photo: Alex Brandon, AP) WASHINGTON - Mick Mulvaney, who was tapped this week to replace Gen. John Kelly as the presidents acting chief of staff, once called Donald Trump a terrible human being. While campaigning to retain his South Carolina House seat during the 2016 election, Mulvaney denounced Trump, who is now his direct boss. Still, Mulvaney said he was forced to support the then-Republican nominee because the alternative was Democrat Hillary Clinton. We have perhaps two of the most flawed human beings running for president in the history of the country, Mulvaney said during a forum with Democratic challenger Fran Person, according to the local newspaper, The State. Yes, I am supporting Donald Trump, but Im doing so as enthusiastically as I can, given the fact that I think hes a terrible human being. But the choice on the other side is just as bad, Mulvaney continued. Video of his remarks was uncovered by The Daily Beast on Friday, just hours after Trump announced he had chosen Mulvaney as his acting chief of staff.

If youve ever called your boss a terrible human being, it turns out you sort of have something in common with the presidents next acting chief of staff. Mick Mulvaney, who was named as John Kellys replacement on Friday, used those choice words in reference to Donald Trump one week before the 2016 election. Politico reports Mulvaney was up for re-election in the House (he won), and referred to Trump and Hillary Clinton during a South Carolina debate as perhaps two of the most flawed human beings running for president in the history of the country when asked whether he was throwing his support behind the GOP candidate. He zeroed in on Trump specifically, saying Do I like Donald Trump? No and noting he didnt see Trump as a role model for his sons. And theres this: Yes, I am supporting Donald Trump, but Im doing so as enthusiastically as I can, given the fact that I think hes a terrible human being. But the choice on the other side is just as bad. USA Today reports it was only hours after the Mulvaney news broke on Friday that the Daily Beast posted video of those comments. Mulvaney himself had more positive words on Friday, tweeting, This is a tremendous honor. I look forward to working with the President and the entire team. Its going to be a great 2019! (Mulvaney will hold onto his other jobs in the administration.)

Such heated military rhetoric and threats are common from North Korea as tensions rise on the Korean Peninsula, and Pyongyangs recent nuclear test and rocket launches, and the push for U.N. punishment that have followed, have increased already high animosity between the North and Washington and ally Seoul.

The US and China have settled on a new round of sanctions against North Korea, and Pyongyang is responding by ratcheting up its usual bluster, threatening to cancel the 1953 ceasefire that ended the Korean War if sanctions go forward and US-South Korean military drills that began March 1 continue. Specifically, the North is warning of surgical strikes at any time and a precision nuclear striking tool that will seek to advance our long-cherished wish for national reunification, reports the AP. The US-China deal is aimed at punishing Pyongyang over Februarys nuclear test, in a joint deal that heads to the UN Security Council today. In addition to new sanctionswhose specifics arent yet knownthe planned resolution enforces current ones, the Wall Street Journal reports. Right now, sanctions include a ban on ballistic missile and nuclear tests and a ban on the import of arms and luxury goods; some in the country face financial and travel restrictions, and the new measures could expand them. China was expected, however, to refuse an oil embargo, believing that such a blow to the North Korean economy could bring refugees to China. The sanctions deal is expected to be adopted this week, says a diplomat.

Samsung Electronics won a significant legal victory against Apple: a U.S. International Trade Commission ruling that threatens to halt U.S. sales of some older iPhones and iPads. The WSJs Min-Jeong Lee has the story. Samsung Electronics Co. won a significant legal victory against Apple Inc. that threatens to halt the sale of some iPhones and iPads in the U.S. George Stahl explains the ramifications of a significant victory Samsung won over Apple in its patent case and how it is likely to result in a series of cross-licensing agreements between the companies. Photo: Getty Images. The U.S. International Trade Commission on Tuesday ruled that Apple violated a Samsung patent covering technology used to send information over wireless networks. Unless vetoed by President Barack Obama or blocked by an appeals court, the ruling would bar the importation of certain iPhones and iPads made to work on AT&T Inc.s network. Among them are the iPhone 4, the iPhone 3GS, the iPad 3G, the iPad 2 3G and the iPad 3. The latest Apple products, including the iPhone 5 and the fourth-generation of the iPad, were unaffected. Once close business partners, Samsung and Apple have become increasingly intense rivals, sparring over the market for smartphones around the globe, with much of the momentum accruing to Samsung in recent months. The rivalry has spilled into the courts, where barrages of competing patent claims have been lobbed in both directions. Last year, Apple won a jury trial and 1 billion in damages against Samsung over iPhone patents. Tuesdays ruling, which Apple has vowed to take to a federal appeals court, raises the incentives for the two sides to reach a more comprehensive settlement. But so far, both sides offered no hint at a settlement. The ruling also came on the day Mr. Obama took steps to rein in companies that buy and enforce patents rather than make their own products and servicesfirms known as patent trolls by their detractors. He is also trying to reduce the growing use of the... Tóm tắt văn bản trên

A big win for Samsung in its long-running patent feud with Apple: The US International Trade Commission has banned imports of the AT&T models of older Apple products including the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 3G after deciding Apple violated a Samsung patent, the Wall Street Journal reports. Newer Apple products like the iPhone 5 are not affected by the ruling, which Apple says it is disappointed by and will appeal. The ruling will take effect in 60 days unless it is vetoed by President Obama, a move analysts say is nearly as unlikely as the two companies deciding to settle their difference amicably. Theres too much skin in the game now, a spokesman for technology research firm IDC tells Bloomberg. Its almost so ugly I dont think theyll come to any agreement. Both companies have a lot of cash and are generating a lot of money. Its not like they have to worry about paying the legal bills.

Summarize the news: In June in 1986, Hans Riegel told one of the jokes for which he had become well-known. The Haribo CEO told a reporter he had just swallowed Maoam. All Riegel had to do was wait a second for a question in response: The candy? No, he answered triumphantly. The company. It was a lot of fun -- they used to be a competitor. It would be hard to find another executive in Germany as multifaceted as the former head of Bonn-based gummy bear empire Haribo. Riegel was equal parts tenacious businessman, jokester, workaholic and bon vivant. Above all, he was the man associated with Haribo -- few entrepreneurs have been as closely identified with their brands as he has been. In his 67 years at the helm, he transformed his fathers small candy company into a global sweets giant with an estimated 2 billion (2.7 billion) in annual sales of gummy bears and other candies in 110 countries around the world. Riegel died on Tuesday at the age of 90. He was the archetype of the old-school German capitalist from the Rhineland -- hardworking, responsible, persistent and full of business acumen. After having just returned from being a prisoner of war after World War II, Riegel and his brother Paul assumed responsibility for the family business, which at the time had 30 employees, 10 sacks of sugar and the secret recipe for gummy bears that still guarantees the companys success today. Paul, who was more behind the scenes, developed the machines used to make the companys liquorices. The more outgoing Hans worked on the companys first commercials. The Man Who Turned Warren Buffet Away The division of labor between the two brothers was a success, and it didnt take long before the companys motto, Kids love it so, created by their father, was known by youth all across Germany. Although the companys gummy bears soon became a gold mine, financial success eluded the young entrepreneur. One day, when the local bank tried to seize bags of sugar at the Haribo plant because the company had been late on a loan payment, Riegel swore...

He was the worlds first and surely last gummi bear magnate, as the headline in Der Spiegel puts it. Hans Riegel, who ran Germanys Haribo candy company and made the chewy little bears a worldwide phenomenon, has died at age 90. The bears were a concoction of his father, the founder of Haribo, but it was the younger Riegel whose deft marketing turned them into a global hit. (Gummi trivia: The jellied bears were originally made of licorice, notes the New York Times.) Riegel and his brother first sold them as gold bears in 1960s before changing the name. They introduced them throughout Europe in the 1970s and then set up Haribo of America in Baltimore in the early 1980s. It all paid off: Forbes says the companys revenues are north of 3 billion today. I just wanted to make something of my fathers life work, Riegel once said.

Help me summarize this article: BOSTON (AP) The Boston Globe has suspended columnist Kevin Cullen without pay for three months after inconsistencies were found in his remarks following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Newspaper publisher John Henry and editor Brian McGrory announced Friday an independent review found Cullen likely fabricated some anecdotes he shared in interviews after the bombing, which killed three people and injured hundreds more. The review also noted an uncorrected error in one of Cullens marathon bombing columns but didnt find signs of fabrication in other works. Cullen, who was part of the Globe team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2014, didnt immediately comment, but Henry and McGrory say he has apologized. Cullen has been on paid leave since April, when Boston sports radio station WEEI noted inconsistencies in Cullens work and the paper launched its investigation. The Boston Globe launched parallel reviews of the work of Kevin Cullen after issues were publicly aired on radio station WEEI in April. We are now making the results, including the full versions of both reports, public. The first review, performed by retired AP executive editor Kathleen Carroll and Boston University dean of the College of Communication Thomas Fiedler, is of Mr. Cullens column work and broadcast appearances in the aftermath of the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombings. The second review, conducted by Globe assistant managing editor for projects and investigations Scott Allen, deputy projects editor Brendan McCarthy, and former Globe staff writer Joseph Kahn, is of a sampling of 100 randomly selected columns, checking for authenticity and accuracy.

Specifically, the review found that Mr. Cullen details scenes in which he was centrally involved but, to the best of our...

The Boston Globe has suspended columnist Kevin Cullen without pay for three months after inconsistencies were found in his remarks following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Per the AP, newspaper publisher John Henry and editor Brian McGrory announced Friday an independent review found Cullen likely fabricated some anecdotes he shared in interviews after the bombing, which killed three people and injured hundreds more. The review also noted an uncorrected error in one of Cullens marathon bombing columns but didnt find signs of fabrication in other works. Cullen, who was part of the Globe team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2014, didnt immediately comment, but Henry and McGrory say he has apologized. Cullen has been on paid leave since April, when Boston sports radio station WEEI noted inconsistencies in Cullens work and the paper launched its investigation. Per the New York Times, Cullen described in an interview the tale of a firefighter he claimed to have spoken with. He said the firefighter described rescuing a 7-year-old girl whose lower leg had been blown off. However, the firefighter denied having ever spoken to Cullen. The Times also says Cullen, while speaking on a panel in 2013, claimed he witnessed a firefighter outside a bar on the phone with a fellow firefighter, who was apparently traumatized by the bombing, to come out for the night. The Globe has called the account problematic and calls into question whether it occurred at all. Our review also leads us to believe that Mr. Cullen did not commit irrevocable damage, the Globe said in a statement Saturday. He has also acknowledged his failures and the issues they have created.

May 20, 2014, 11:42 PM GMT / Updated May 21, 2014, 12:00 AM GMT Five men were convicted Tuesday in Moscow in the 2006 execution-style murder of Russian investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya, Russian state media reported. Politkovskaya, a crusading reporter for the liberal newspaper Novaya Gazeta who worked almost full-time on documenting allegations of human rights violations in the breakaway province of Chechnya, was 48 when she was gunned down in the elevator of her apartment building in October 2006. The murder raised worldwide questions about freedom of speech and of the press under Russian President Vladimir Putin especially after three of the defendants were initially acquitted in 2009. The Supreme Court overturned those acquittals and ordered a new trial. People hold portraits of slain journalist Anna Politkovskaya on the sixth anniversary of her death, next to her block of flats in central Moscow October 7, 2012. MOSCOW (Reuters) - Five men were convicted on Tuesday of murdering 2006 of investigative journalist and Kremlin critic Anna Politkovskaya, including three defendants who had been acquitted in a previous trial. Politkovskayas killing drew attention to the risks faced by Russians who challenge the authorities and deepened Western concerns for the rule of law under President Vladimir Putin, who was then serving his second term. Another jurys 2009 acquittal of three of the men who were found guilty of murder on Tuesday embarrassed Russian prosecutors and was later thrown out by the Supreme Court, which ordered a new trial. The defendants were three Chechen brothers, one of whom was accused of shooting Politkovskaya in the lobby of her Moscow apartment building on October 7, 2006, as well as their uncle and a former police officer. The convictions are a victory for Russian prosecutors and the state, but rights activists and... Tóm tắt văn bản trên

Five men have been found guilty in the 2006 slaying of 48-year-old Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, whose investigative reporting criticized President Vladimir Putin, the war in Chechnya, and Chechen leadership. Three of the men are brothers from Chechnya, one of whom has been found guilty of the shooting itself, which NBC News reports took place execution-style in the elevator of her apartment building. The other two brothers were found guilty of tracking Politkovskaya and acting as getaway drivers, and their uncle and a retired police officer were found to have organized and prepared for the murder, respectively. All face life in prison. Three of the conspirators now convicted were acquitted in 2009, but a retrial was ordered. Another ex-cop was convicted of supplying the murder weapon last year, the BBC reports. The defendants lawyers plan to appeal the convictions, Reuters reports. Politkovskayas family is disappointed that its still not clear who ordered the killing, saying in a statement that the men convicted are only a few of the people who should be brought to justice. Though an investigation into the murder continues, critics suggest the mastermind will never be found because, as Reuters puts it, the trail could lead too close to the governmentPolitkovskayas work angered quite a few important people.

Portugal has joined Greece and Ireland on the casualty list of Europes sovereign debtors after its prime minister, José Sócrates, requested a European Union bailout. The dramatic decision came in the middle of a political crisis that has left the country in limbo and with spiralling interest rates on its debt. I want to inform the Portuguese that the government decided today to ask ... for financial help, to ensure financing for our country, for our financial system and for our economy, Sócrates said in a televised address. This is an especially grave moment for our country, he added. Things will only get worse if nothings done. Sócrates said that the bailout, which analysts said could be between 70bn (61bn) and 80bn was the last resort. The move was immediately welcomed in Brussels. This is a responsible move by the Portuguese government for the sake of economic stability in the country and in Europe, the European commissions economic and monetary affairs commissioner, Olli Rehn, told Reuters. Sócrates did not say how much aid Portugal had asked for, but promised to negotiate the best possible conditions. Analysts said Portugal was expected to need up to 80bn, an amount the EUs bailout fund, the European financial stability facility, can easily cover. The European commissions president, José Manuel Barroso, promised a swift response. Portugals troubles differ from Ireland, which pledged to cover huge losses at its banks, and Greece, which lied about its debt. Instead, it had allowed debt to mushroom during a decade in which its economy grew at just 0.7% a year. The yield or interest on Portugals 10-year bonds, which stood at 5.8% a year ago, was at 8.54% on Wednesday. Economists had said that anything over 7% was too high for Portugal, which has growing unemployment and is predicted to enter a double-dip recession this year. Ratings agencies had downgraded Portugals bonds to a notch above junk level and even its own bankers warned they could not keep buying national... Cho tôi nội dung chính của bài báo đã cho

Portugal is biting the bullet and admitting that it desperately needs a massive bailout from its European Union partners to stay afloat. Caretaker prime minister Jose Socrates told the nation that the decision to seek a bailout was a last resort as interest rates on its short-term debt skyrocket, reports the Guardian. Analysts believe the bailout will cost the EU some 114 billion. Portugal, which will have to commit to an economic adjustment program in exchange for the funds, joins Ireland and Greece on the eurozones casualty list. The bailout request was widely expected, and analysts see it as a positive move because it will prevent a Portuguese collapse that could have made Spain the next target for markets searching for signs of weakness. This is good news. Weve been saying for a while that Portugals finances were not sustainable at these rates, a Goldman Sachs economist tells Reuters. We think the contagion stops here.

Help me summarize this article: Border Guards help Syrians cross the border into Jordan in this May 4 photo (Photo by Hassan Tamimi) AMMAN Based on recent developments and upon further discussions with international agencies, Jordan will allow the delivery of aid to the berm through cranes, to be collected by the community leaders of the displaced Syrians near the border for distribution. In remarks to The Jordan Times on Sunday, Minister of State for Media Affairs and Government Spokesperson Mohammad Momani said the distribution process will be monitored in different ways. Asked if the new measures entail any change to Jordans policy regarding the berm, the no-mans land between the Jordanian and Syrian borders where the displaced Syrians are gathered, Momani said Jordan will maintain its sealed border policy, and this delivery of aid will not affect that. The injured and humanitarian cases will be allowed entry based on the assessment of agencies on the ground. According to the UN, more than 85,000 Syrians are stranded at Rakban settlement in the no-mans-land between Jordan and Syria. Momani explained aid would be transported by cranes directly from the northeastern border to the other side. Community leaders in Rakban will receive the aid once lowered and distribute it to the refugees there. Members of the Tribal Council of Palmyra and Badia, a Syrian rebel group in charge of running the Rakban camps daily affairs, told The Jordan Times that the preliminary agreement entails the resumption of aid delivery as of next week. Jordan declared the northern and northeastern border areas a closed military zone in June in the aftermath of a terrorist attack that targeted a military post serving refugees near the border, killing seven troops and injuring 13 others. Since then, Jordan has agreed with international relief agencies to allow a one-off aid delivery to the area in August, while global stakeholders were expected to seek alternative solutions to continue the mission. FILE - In this Wednesday, June...

Since mid-2014, about 75,000 Syrian refugees have been in limbo in the bermwhat the Guardian describes as the no-mans land at the border between Jordan and Syria. And since June of this year, those refugees have been living in what Doctors Without Borders has called some of the most extreme conditions on Earth, enduring temperatures over the summer that surpassed 120 degrees Fahrenheit and watching humanitarian supplies and food come to a halt in June after Jordan cut off deliveries following a car bomb. But government spokesman Mohammad Momani told the Jordan Times on Sunday that while the borders remain sealed, a new method of delivery will be used: cranes that will lower the goods from the northeastern side of the border to the other side (there was a one-off delivery like this in August). And it sounds like the aid is coming just in time. Per the AP, the refugees are living in tents and suffering not only from hunger and exposure to the elements, but also from serious illness, including whooping cough and hepatitis. Last month, Amnesty International released chilling video footage and satellite images that showed graves and burial mounds in the berm, per the Washington Post. Many people have died, a refugee living in one of the camps told the group, saying conditions were awful. The mood among the people is below zero. Two anonymous aid officials tell the news agency theres been no final confirmation, but Momani says the plans are being put in place to expedite the deliveries. The aid will be given to community leaders of groups of Syrians so they can distribute it accordingly, he says, noting the aid groups will make the call on the pace of the deliveries.

(CNN) Want to launch a nuclear missile? Youll need a floppy disk. Thats according to a new report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), which found that the Pentagon was still using 1970s-era computing systems that require eight-inch floppy disks. Photos: Gadget graveyard Photos: Gadget graveyard Floppy discs Eight-inch floppy discs became commercially available in the 1970s. They allowed up to 1.2 megabytes of storage capacity. Today, a flash drive can hold up to 1 terabyte and comes in all sorts of practical novelty designs.

To anyone born after 1995, the floppy disk is better known as that thing that resembles the save icon. To the Pentagon, its the gizmo that controls Americas nukes. A report from the Government Accountability Office finds US government agencies spend 60 billion a year operating and maintaining outdated systemsthree times more than is spent on upgrades, per CNN. One such system: the Pentagons IBM Series-1 computer which uses 8-inch floppy disks in a legacy system that coordinates the operational functions of the nations nuclear forces, including intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers. For youngsters, the big floppy disks were the precursor to the 3.5-inch ones, before the CD came around. This system remains in use because, in short, it still works, a Pentagon rep tells the AFP, per the BBC, which notes youd need 130,000 8-inch floppy disks to get the storage capacity of a 32GB memory stick. However, to address obsolescence concerns, the floppy drives are scheduled to be replaced with secure digital devices by the end of 2017, the rep says. Other system upgrades are expected by 2020. Maybe well have Nintendo Gameboys controlling our nukes by the next presidential election, quips CNNs Jake Tapper. The Treasury, Commerce, and Veteran Affairs departments should also look into upgrading. The report finds all three use computer code introduced in the 1950s, per the Verge.

Article Excerpt Europeans traded blame Monday over the source of a mysterious bacterial outbreak that has killed 14 people and sickened hundreds across the continent. The outbreak forced Russia to ban imports of some fresh vegetables from Spain and Germany out of fear they could be contaminated, while Austrian authorities sent inspectors to supermarkets to make sure Spanish vegetables suspected of contamination ... Two new deaths linked to a mysterious bacterial outbreak in Europe blamed on tainted vegetables were reported Tuesday, including the first outside Germany, as the number of people falling ill continued to rise. A market seller speaks on his cell phone behind a display of cucumbers and other vegetables in Malaga, southern Spain, Monday May 30, 2011. Vegetables from Spain are suspected of carrying the dangerous... (Associated Press) The deaths brought to 16 the total number of fatalities linked to the E. coli outbreak, with northwestern Germany the hardest-hit region. Hospital officials in Boras, Sweden, announced the death of woman in her 50s who was admitted on May 29 after a trip to Germany. In Paderborn, Germany, the local council said an 87-year-old woman who also suffered from other ailments had died. In Germany, the national disease control center said 373 people were sick with the most serious form of the outbreak _ hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, a rare complication arising from an infection most commonly associated with E. coli. That figure was up from the 329 reported Monday. Susanne Glasmacher, a spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute, said another 796 people have been affected by the enterohaemorrhagic E.coli, also known as EHEC, bacteria _ making a total of more than 1,150 people infected.

A deadly E. coli outbreak in Europe linked to tainted cucumbers and other vegetables is getting worse, report the Wall Street Journal and AP: The toll: Sixteen people are dead (15 in Germany and one woman in Sweden who had just traveled to Germany); more than 1,000 people are sick in Germany alone, with 373 having the most serious form of E. coli. Hundreds more cases are reported throughout Europe. The source: Germany blames cucumbers from Spain, specifically the Almeria and Malaga regions. A third batch from the Netherlands or Denmark is under investigation. Spain angrily denies being the source, and EU officials say the vegetables could have become tainted anywhere along the supply chain. The fallout: Russia has banned some imports from Spain and Germany (and may expand it to all EU nations); Italy, Austria, and other nations have stopped short of that but are ramping up inspections at supermarkets.

These are the findings of a preliminary study presented at the British Psychological Societys Annual Conference in Brighton on Wednesday 3 May 2017, by Dr Martin Graff from University of South Wales. A total of 340 participants recruited via Twitter and Facebook completed personality questionnaires. They were also asked to say how much they agreed or disagreed with 25 statements relating to the ways people appreciate being valued on social media. For example the attention I get from social media makes me feel good or I consider someone popular based on the amount of likes they get. Analysis revealed that participants who said they went out of their way to get more likes (such as asking others or paying) were more likely to have low self-esteem and be less trusting. The same was true of those who admitted deleting posts or making a picture their profile picture on account of the number of likes it received. The results also showed that receiving likes didnt actually make people feel any better about themselves or make them feel better when they were down. Dr Graff said: Adding more evidence to the fact that social media doesnt make us feel better, a new study indicates those Facebook likes are pretty shallow. According to the preliminary research, receiving attention via likes on social media does nothing to improve mood or make you feel better about yourself. It turns out, those thumbs up or heart icons dont make much of a difference when it comes to our happiness. The study also found that people who went to extremes to receive more love, going as far as paying or asking others to like their posts, were more likely to suffer from low self-esteem and to be less trusting. This assessment was also true for those who deleted posts or changed their profile pictures based on how many likes a photo received.

Teens arent necessarily as in love with social media as theyre portrayed to be. The results of an AP poll released last week show that nearly 60% of teens in the US have taken social media breaksmost of the time voluntary ones that last at least a week. Now researchers at the University of South Wales have presented findings to the British Psychological Society that suggest even what are perceived to be straightforward perks of social mediasuch as getting attention via likesmay not exactly elevate the end users mood. Although this is just a relatively small-scale study, the results indicate that the ways we interact with social media can affect how we feel, and not always positively, one researcher says. To test this, the team reports in a Science Daily news release that it recruited 340 participants on Twitter and Facebook to complete personality questionnaires and then agree or disagree with 25 statements. Key findings include that people who go out of their way to rack up more likes tend to have low self-esteem and be less trusting of others, and that those likes dont actually lift their mood or how they see themselves. Previous research has looked not at more likes, but at more time, reports Medical Daily. It cites a study published in 2016 that surveyed 19- to 32-year-olds and found individuals in the highest quartile of [social media] site visits per week ... had significantly increased odds of depression.

A new North Korean propaganda video shows the U.S. Capitol being hit by a missile. NBCNews.coms Dara Brown reports. An image of the U.S. Capitol being hit by an explosion has been posted on a North Korean propaganda website. The video, published by the semi-official Uriminzokkiri agency and posted on its YouTube account, at first shows still images of North Korean artillery, missiles and soldiers. It then moves on to film of numerous missiles being fired, before showing what appears to be a gun sight zeroing in on the White House and then the U.S. Capitol. The White House is caught in the panoramic sight of a (North Korean) long-range missile. This hotbed of war is in the scope of a nuclear bomb blow, a caption on the video says, according to a translation by the South Korean news agency Yonhap. An explosion hits the dome of the Capitol building, leaving a gaping hole. The four-minute film then continues with yet more images of rockets being fired. A video showing an American city that looked like New York engulfed in flames after a missile attack was posted on the same website last month.

Apparently New York in flames was not enough. Now a quasi-official North Korean news agency has posted a new videothis one of the US Capitol exploding, NBC News reports. Intercut with images of North Korean artillery and missiles, the video also shows a target homing in on the White House. The White House is caught in the panoramic sight of a long-range missile, reads a caption. This hotbed of war is in the scope of a nuclear bomb blow. The video comes after months of alarming moves by Pyongyang. The North has tested a rocket and a nuclear weapon, threatened to nuke the US, and announced the end of the armistice that has kept peace on the Korean peninsula. One analyst blames the escalation on new leader Kim Jong Uns need to prove himself to North Koreas military: My take is that it is overwhelmingly bluster for domestic reasons, not international ones, she says.

He was born Shepsel Ber Nudelman on Dec. 8, 1930, in the Bronx, the son of Orthodox Jews who had emigrated from Russia. (He adopted the first and middle names Sherwin Bernard when he went to kindergarten.) His childhood was spent in a tiny South Bronx apartment with his parents, his older brother, his maternal grandmother and a maiden aunt, in an atmosphere permeated with sickness and death. A brother died before Dr. Nuland was born, and at age 3 he was hospitalized for diphtheria. His mother, the emotional center of his family, died of colon cancer when he was 11. In his memoir, Lost in America (2003), he recalled with striking vividness the bad smells and bloody pads that came from his mothers room. Dr. Nulands adolescent years were dominated by his father, Meyer Nudelman, a garment worker who was incapacitated by chronic illness and physical infirmities; he could not walk more than a short distance without his sons help. Resisting a new way of life, the father never learned to read or write English Yiddish was the predominant language at home and he terrified his family with explosive rages. Dr. Nuland regarded him with fear and shame, emotions that would take a deep psychological toll. While still in high school, Dr. Nuland and his older brother changed their names from Nudelman, separating themselves from a weak, angry man who, Dr. Nuland wrote, represented everything I so desperately wanted to be rid of. They chose a name first adopted by a cousin, Willie Nuland, a physician who looked after the boys parents when they were ill, and whose compassion and competence pointed Dr. Nuland toward his career. Dr. Nuland received his bachelors degree from New York University in 1951 and went on to study medicine at Yale, attracted by its distance geographically and culturally from the old-world Jewishness in which he grew up. Reading about spinal cord diseases as a medical student, Dr. Nuland discovered that his fathers crippling illness was tertiary, or chronic, syphilis. Dr. Nuland felt...

Dr. Sherwin Nuland, whose book How We Die sparked national debate over end-of-life decisions, has died from prostate cancer at his Connecticut home. The 83-year-old surgeons award-winning 1994 book on death argued that death with dignity was rare and doctors too often tried to prolong life when further treatment was futile, the New York Times reports. I have not seen much dignity in the process by which we die, he wrote. The quest to achieve true dignity fails when our bodies fail. In a 1996 interview, he said he hoped he would go without suffering and surrounded by loved ones when it was his time. His daughter says he often spoke to his family about his illness and impending death and while he was very much at peace most of the time, there were times of sadness and fear toward the end. He wasnt scared of death itself, but he loved everything about his world and the people in his world and life, she tells the AP. And he didnt want to leave.

Another new label has surfaced from the US in December 2017. This time its from Diageo and their Johnnie Walker brand. Jane Walker Edition. No information regarding Jane Walker can be found besides these new labels. Whether its Johnnies sister or not will be revealed in due time. However, already in 2016 during the presidential election campaigns there was a rumor about a Jane Walker Edition release and ad campaign. The whole project was scrapped, or mothballed for the time being as it now seems, since Diageos then current Johnnie Walker campaign was already seen by many as a celebration and support for the Democratic party. The outcome of the presidential election probably didnt make things better for Jane Walker. Time has passed and 2018 seems to be Jane Walkers year! Anomaly has made some significant changes to the Johnnie Walker Keep Walking work since winning the account away from BBH in December 2014. Its debut campaign was the liquor brands biggest ever, and it followed with a sequel to the Gentlemans Wager ad starring Jude Law. The latest Walker ad This Land debuted the day before the election, and it was political, if not explicitly partisan, in nature. The spot celebrated American progress and diversity in the abstract without commenting directly on the upcoming vote, but some saw it as an endorsement. U.K. blog More About Advertising summed it up with the headline Johnnie Walker Backs Clinton in Anomalys Election Ad. Multiple sources told us this week that the planned sequel to that spot was supposed to be even more political. Its title was to be Jane Walker, which implies that its themes concerned gender equality and women breaking boundaries. This message would have been particularly timely if Hillary Clinton had won the election, but that didnt happen.

Tarzan had his Jane, and so, too, will Johnnie. Thanks to the Me Too and Times Up movements, gender equality is gaining new awareness in the workplace, and now perhaps in your whisky: TMZ reports that Diageo, parent company of the Johnnie Walker brand, put in the paperwork earlier this month for a Jane Walker trademark that would cover a bevy of unspecified beverages. A post at Drampedia notes that labels bearing the name Jane Walker Edition have turned up, but no details are available on any new products. Whether its Johnnies sister or not will be revealed in due time, per the post. It appears this isnt the first time the female-monikered concept, which TMZ assumes will focus on gender equality and female empowerment, has been broached by Diageo. Adweek noted right after the 2016 presidential election that a Jane Walker ad campaign was in the works, but it was apparently nixed after Hillary Clinton lost, sources said at the time.

Vega was six months pregnant, and loved ones described her to Tucson News Now as kind, compassionate, and so excited to be a mom. No other other occupants were injured during the shooting. Authorities say multiple gunshots were fired toward the home from outside, and that there were several bullet holes found in the walls, but it is still unknown whether the gunfire was targeted specifically at anyone in the household. Tucson police are asking for anyone with information to come forward. You can remain anonymous, they said on Facebook. (Three St. Louis women were killed as they tried to escape a home invasion.)

Documenting Hate Tracking Hate Crimes and Bias Incidents The California man accused of killing a 19-year-old University of Pennsylvania student earlier this month is an avowed neo-Nazi and a member of one of the most notorious extremist groups in the country, according to three people with knowledge of the mans recent activities. The man, Samuel Woodward, has been charged in Orange County, California, with murdering Blaze Bernstein, who went missing in early January while visiting his family over winter break. Prosecutors allege that Woodward stabbed Bernstein more than 20 times before burying his body in an Orange County park where it was eventually discovered. The two men had attended high school together. Woodward, 20, is set to be arraigned on Feb. 2 and has not yet entered a plea. Orange County prosecutors say they are examining the possibility that the killing was a hate crime Bernstein was Jewish and openly gay and some recent news reports have suggested that the alleged killer might hold far-right or even white supremacist political beliefs. Now, three people with detailed knowledge of Woodwards recent past have been able to shed more light on the young mans extremist activities. They said Woodward was a member of the Atomwaffen Division, an armed Fascist group with the ultimate aim of overthrowing the U.S. government through the use of terrorism and guerrilla warfare.

Members both celebrated Woodward as a one man gay Jew wrecking crew and raged that one of their own may have leaked Woodwards AWD affiliation. Although the group is open about their hatred of minorities, Jews, and gaysand their love of Hitler and Charles Mansonits a notoriously secretive bunch that doesnt take kindly to rats and traitors. ProPublica got its hands on about 250,000 AWD messages from encrypted logs on Discord, a chat platform meant for gamers but popular with white supremacist groups, with startling revelations. The messages offer a frightening glimpse into the groups leaders, where members are located (as many as 20 cells may exist in several US states), and what potential targets may be, including water and electric utilities. We havent seen anything like Atomwaffen in quite a while, a Southern Poverty Law Center researcher says. They should be taken seriously because theyre so extreme. Others, though, think while some members may be dangerous, most just indulge in magical thinking about government overthrows and spend their time reading fascist lit. Its very hard to go from talking about violence to looking a guy in the eyes and killing him, one expert says. ProPublicas in-depth take also includes details on AWDs supposed leader, who goes by the nickname Rape, and the ire ProPublica itself received after it tied Woodward to AWD in a Jan. 26 article. We really owe those jews at ProPublica, one member wrote in a chat message. More on AWD here.

Its offices have been firebombed, its website hacked, its Facebook page suspended for 24 hours and its staff targeted with death threats, so you might have thought the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo would have tried just for a while to avoid upsetting anyone. Mais non! After provoking all the above with last weeks special edition guest edited by the prophet Muhammad, entitled Charia Hebdo, which took pot-shots at radical Islam, the publication is set to raise a few more hackles with this weeks edition, published on Wednesday. On the front page of the latest edition is a drawing of a male Charlie Hebdo cartoonist passionately kissing a bearded Muslim man, under the headline: LAmour plus fort que la haine (love is stronger than hate). In the background of the cartoon, signed Luz, are the ashes of the magazines offices, completely destroyed in the Molotov cocktail attack last week. Unlike the previous edition, which featured a front page carton of the prophet and a speech bubble reading 100 lashes if you dont die of laughter, there is no suggestion that the character on the magazine cover is Muhammad. After the firebombing, French Muslim groups who had been highly critical of Charlie Hebdo, condemned the destruction of its offices. Dalil Boubakeur head of the Paris Mosque, told journalists: I am extremely attached to the freedom of the press, even if the press is not always tender with Muslims, Islam or the Paris Mosque. The editor of Charlie Hebdo, Stéphane Charbonnier, said at the time: We thought the lines had moved and maybe there would be more respect for our satirical work, our right to mock. Freedom to have a good laugh is as important as freedom of speech. Since then, the magazines staff have been given a temporary home in the offices of Frances leading leftwing daily newspaper Libération, which has also been subject to threats from the Turkish hackers who are said to have pirated Charlie Hebdos site.

Remember the boundary-busting French satirical newspaper that was firebombed for making the Prophet Mohammed a guest editor? Journalists toned down the controversy this time aroundnot. In fact, right on the cover, a Muslim is planting a big, slobbery kiss on a figure representing the publication, Charlie Hebdo. Above the embrace are the words: Love is stronger than hate. The Guardian says the paper isnt holding back, while Gawkerconvinced the Muslim is a gay Mohammad (though hes not in the garb of the prophet)calls it the ballsiest paper in the world. Charlie Hebdos editor said after the firebombing that freedom to have a good laugh is as important as freedom of speech. The French, including some Muslim leaders, have strongly supported the publication, which is now operating out of the offices of the left-wing Paris newspaper Liberation. I am extremely attached to the freedom of the press, even if the press is not always tender with Muslims, Islam, or the Paris Mosque, said the head of the Paris Mosque.

Help me summarize this article: Gaza residents buried their dead Tuesday as the death toll of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces at the Gaza boundary fence climbed to at least 60 after several succumbed to injuries overnight, according to local health officials. Mondays demonstrations, which coincided with the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, were marked by a level of bloodshed not seen in Gaza since the 2014 war with Israel. Israels use of live ammunition has drawn widespread condemnation, notably from Turkey, which expelled the Israeli ambassador Tuesday after recalling its envoys to Israel and the United States. Gunfire rang out over Gaza City on Tuesday as rounds were fired during funeral processions. Further protests were planned as residents attended funerals and prepared to mark the anniversary of Israels founding, known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or Catastrophe. More than two-thirds of Gazas population is descended from refugees who fled or were expelled at the time of Israels creation 70 years ago. However, crowds at the border were thin after the organizing committee for the demonstrations called for a day of mourning to bury the dead. Demonstrators were asked to go home early as the death toll climbed. Mondays killings more than doubled the number of Palestinians slain in Gaza during six weeks of demonstrations, dubbed the March of Return. More than 2,700 people were injured, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said, about half of them from live ammunition. At least six of the dead were under age 18, the ministry said, including a girl whose family said she was 14. [Israeli gunfire taking severe toll on the limbs of Palestinian protesters] The Health Ministry also reported that a baby died after inhaling tear gas at the main protest area in Gaza. An unidentified doctor told the Associated Press on Tuesday that the baby, Layla Ghaben, had a preexisting medical condition and that he did not think her death was caused by tear gas. One more person was killed in demonstrations...

The death toll from what Israels critics are calling a massacre of unarmed protesters in Gaza hit 59 overnight with the death of a baby from tear gas inhalation, according to Palestinian authorities. The Palestinian Health Authority in Gaza says seven children under 18 were among the dozens of people killed when Israeli troops opened fire on protesters at the border fence Monday, the Washington Post reports. More than 2,700 others were wounded, the authority says, including 1,359 injured by live ammunition. Israel also dropped tear gas from drones in what was Gazas deadliest day of violence since the 2014 war. The latest developments: South Africa, Turkey withdraw ambassadors. Israeli authorities say South Africa has recalled its ambassador to protest the shootings, the AP reports. Turkey is withdrawing its ambassadors from both the US and Israel. Kuwait drafted a United Nations Security Council resolution expressing outrage and calling for an independent investigation, but it was blocked by the US.

In the hours after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, New York Citys hospitals braced for an onslaught that never came. On the morning of September 12, a sea of empty white gurneys sparkled in front of Manhattans St. Vincents Hospital. The building was already papered with pictures of people who had vanished forever. In Boston this week, the aftermath of violence looked different. Only three people died within 24 hours of the blast on Boylston Street. But like the improvised bombings that plague Iraq and Afghanistan, the attack left scores of civilians mortally injured, many with lower limbs hanging by threads. The incident may be remembered less for the deaths it caused than for the flesh and bone it ravaged. But the Patriots Day bombing reveals the tremendous strides that emergency physicians have made in the past decade. The assault occurred within blocks of what President Obama called some of the best hospitals in the world. A medical team was already working the finish line when the shrapnel started flying. And thanks to this countrys recent experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, physicians and emergency workers almost surely saved patients who would have died from the same injuries a decade ago. For all their failings, Americas recent foreign wars have driven medical breakthroughs that are now saving civilians at home. Its hardly the first time this has happened. The need to keep wounded fighters alive has long been an engine of medical progress. Roughly one soldier died for every 1.7 injured in World War II. In Iraq and Afghanistan, one died for every seven woundeda decline of more than 75%. The advances fueling that progress span fields as diverse as orthopedics, pharmacology and bandage design, and most are now common in civilian medicine. Some of the breakthroughs have been astonishingly low-tech. Take the tourniquet, for instance, a device that dates back at least to the second century BC.

As of this morning, 100 of the 183 people hospitalized in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing have been released, CNN reports, in a testament to how well area doctors have handled the crisis. Boston boasts nearly 80 hospitals, and theyre regarded as some of the worlds best, the Week points out, while MSNBC observes that trauma treatment has improved drastically since 9/11in part because of Americas war experience. The Marathon bombs were IEDs, and thats exactly what a number of our troops in Iraq in Afghanistan have had to deal with, one emergency room specialist tells NPR. Techniques learned in those conflicts have now proliferated into civilian medicine. Tourniquets, for instance, have gone from being considered a dangerous last resort to a routine life-saver. Shrapnel extraction techniques have improved as well. It also helped that there was a medical tent at the finish line already, which quickly became a well-oiled triage center. Ive seen a lot worse, one emergency room physician tells the New York Times. They were without question readynot for those types of injuries, but they were prepared.

Help me summarize this article: The parents of 15-year-old Carmen Johnson, who tragically died from electric shock drowning while swimming near her familys Alabama lake house last April, are speaking out about the rarely reported phenomenon after it took the lives of two more local women this past weekend. The two women, 34-year-old Shelly Darling and 41-year-old Elizabeth Whipple, went missing after sunbathing on Lake Tuscaloosa Friday afternoon. Their bodies were retrieved from the lake early Saturday morning. Preliminary autopsies for the two victims show the cause of death as electrocution, the Tuscaloosa County Homicide Unit told CBS affiliate WIAT on Wednesday. Ive been around water all my life and I never thought that electricity in a huge body of water like that could do what it did, Carmens father, Jimmy Johnson, 49, told CBS News. It is something that even people like me now after all these years never had any idea that this even happened. Jimmy Johnson Every day, about 10 people in the U.S. die from accidental drowning, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But electric shock drownings are difficult to track. Its known as a silent killer. Even a low level of electric current in the water can be extremely hazardous or fatal to a swimmer -- especially in freshwater, where experts say the voltage will take a shortcut through the human body. There is no visible warning or way to tell if water surrounding a boat, marina or dock is energized or within seconds will become energized with fatal levels of electricity, the non-profit Electric Shock Drowning Prevention Association reports. In fact, Johnson says, he never would have known what happened to his daughter if he hadnt felt the electric current himself while trying to jump in to save her. Carmen playfully jumped off the top level of the familys boat dock into Smith Lake with her friend Reagan Gargis on April 16, 2016. Jimmy Johnson lowered a metal ladder into the water so the girls could climb out. Minutes later, he heard...

Life vest, check. Adult supervision, check. She should have been safe, but a freak accident in a New Jersey lagoon took the life of an 11-year-old girl over the weekend. Police say the girl was electrocuted while swimming and playing on an inflatable raft behind a friends home in Toms River, reports the Asbury Park Press. The girl was with two friends when the incident occurred, and they were all wearing life vests as they swam and rafted in the lagoon under adult supervision, reports PIX11. A police statement says that after the girls touched the rail to a metal boat lift, an electric current appears to have energized the equipment causing the injury. The girl was administered CPR on the scene, but died later at the hospital. Its not the first time such an accident has been in the news this year. Following the April death of Alabama teen Carmen Johnson, who was shocked while swimming near her familys boathouse, CBS News explained that small levels of electric current in water can serve as a silent killer, especially in fresh water, where voltage can take a shortcut through bodies. And two more Alabama women are also believed to have been shocked to death in lake water, reports AL.com. The Electric Shock Drowning Prevention Association advises against swimming in or near docks, marinas, and boatyards, while the parents of Johnson offered more tips on TODAY, like using plastic over metal ladders and making sure there is a ground fault breaker at docks.

Summarize this: Story highlights We will defend our sovereignty and independence, Foreign Minister Moallem says Four people are killed Tuesday, an opposition network says Aid workers not able to evacuate wounded and killed journalists in Baba Amr U.S. State Department spokeswoman constitutional referendum as cynical As the death toll from Syrias almost year-long uprising continues to climb, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem vowed to defend his countrys independence. We are not happy to see brothers killing each other. But this is our country. But we will defend our sovereignty and independence, he told reporters. The minister said no one is dying in Syria because of hunger or sickness and that despite the economic international boycott, his government is providing all necessary services. Do you think there is a government in this world ... (that cares) about Syrian people welfare more than the Syrian government? I dont see this logic, Moallem said. As day broke on Tuesday, four people were killed across Syria, opposition activists said. At least 144 people were reported killed Monday, including 64 who died in a horrifying massacre at a checkpoint in Homs province. Those killed at a checkpoint in the Abel area were attempting to flee shelling in the Baba Amr neighborhood in the city of Homs, said the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, a network of opposition activists. Reports said security members and thugs kidnapped the women among them, the network said in a statement. Residents found 47 corpses in one area and 17 in a second one, it said. A total of 68 corpses were found in the area, in farmland in western Homs province, said the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, apparently referencing the same incident. The bodies were found after an injured survivor reported the attack, the group said. All the bodies had been either shot or stabbed.

Syrias new constitution was backed by more than 89% of voters, the nations Interior Ministry announced today, even as violence continues to rage across the country and the West decries the referendum as a sham. The Interior Ministry claims that more than 57% of Syrias 14 million eligible voters turned out, with about 9% voting no and 1.6% of the ballots being rejected as spoiled. The New York Times notes that the Syrian government controlled the voting, but may not have needed to manipulate the results, considering that much of the opposition boycotted the referendum. Across the nation, 33 people were killed today, many of them in continued government shelling in Homs, and 55 people died yesterday. The European Union has imposed new sanctions in the face of the continuing violence, CNN reports. Seven ministers of President Bashar al-Assads regime, as well as the Syrian Central Bank, will have their EU assets frozen. The ministers will also be denied entry into the EU and Syrian cargo flights will not be allowed to use EU airports. Says the EU foreign policy chief in a statement, As long as the repression continues, the EU will keep imposing sanctions.

In fact, police were not called to the Riviera home where Kiari Pope reportedly drank boiling water from a straw on a dare, authorities said. The dare happened in March, but Kiari died early Monday after saying she couldnt breathe. Her exact cause of death has not been released. On Thursday evening, a relative of the girl told reporters what happened that March day. Kiari was with cousins, all of whom were her age, watching YouTube videos when the little girl saw a boiling water challenge, Diane Johnson, Kiaris mothers cousin, said from the girls Boynton Beach home.

In March, Kiari Pope drank boiling water through a straw after she and her cousin watched a video of someone appearing to do it on YouTube and her cousin dared her to try. Early Monday, the Florida 8-year-old was pronounced dead after months of medical issues related to the tragic stunt. Kiari underwent emergency surgery to clear scar tissue on her windpipe so she could breathe; after the tracheotomy, she continued to have difficulty breathing (requiring two trips to the ER) and also talking. She had a doctors appointment set for Friday to be checked. But on Sunday night, she told her mothers boyfriend she was struggling to breathe; she lost consciousness within minutes and was pronounced dead about an hour later, at 12:15am Monday, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The Medical Examiners Office is still determining Kiaris cause of death, and Floridas Department of Children and Families is investigating the incident. There have been at least 10 other DCF cases related to the family since 2008, the Palm Beach Post reports, five of them involving alleged domestic violence between Kiaris mother and her boyfriend; its not clear whether the boyfriend who called 911 after Kiari lost consciousness is the same one from those reports. At least one of the DCF cases resulted in verified proof of abuse or neglect, but details arent available. DCF isnt saying whether the girls mother or other family members are under investigation, but a woman identifying herself as the mothers cousin says DCF officials took Kiaris three siblings away Thursday. Kiaris family is raising money to go toward funeral costs on GoFundMe.

Police searching for a 62-year-old man who disappeared in Australias Outback on Wednesday say the grandfather has miraculously been found alive. Reg Foggerdy had been last seen near a campsite on the edge of the Great Victoria Desert in Western Australia while on a hunting trip with his brother, reports the Guardian. He had left to shoot a feral camel but never returned, adds the BBC. Though an experienced bushman, he was wearing only a T-shirt, shorts, hat, and flip-flops and had no food or water, police say. Police began a land and air search after discovering a camel carcass and finally discovered fresh tracks on Monday, reports the West Australian. Foggerdy was found extremely dehydrated, a bit delusional, under a tree Tuesday morning about 9 miles from his last known location. Hes received treatment, first aid on the ground, and its fair to say hes now sitting up and talking, officer Andy Greatwood tells ABC Radio, adding Foggerdys fantastic survival skills kept him alive when most people would not have survived.

Treatments Experimental Malaria Vaccine Blocks The Bad Guys Exit itoggle caption Gary D. Gaugler/Science Source For the first time in decades, researchers trying to develop a vaccine for malaria have discovered a new target they can use to attack this deadly and common parasite. Finding a target for attack is a far cry from having a vaccine. And the history of malaria vaccines is littered with hopeful ideas that didnt pan out. Still, researchers in the field welcome this fresh approach. Over the past four decades, researchers have developed about 100 potential vaccines for malaria. The best of the bunch is still only modestly successful in children, who are at greatest risk for the disease. The mosquito-borne parasite kills more than 600,000 children a year, mostly in Africa. So Dr. Jonathan Kurtis, at the Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University, decided it was time for a fresh start. He had developed a severe case of malaria while he was an undergraduate studying abroad in Kenya. And he learned just how devastating this disease can be, not only killing young children but causing hundreds of millions of cases of debilitating illness every year. Kurtis and his colleagues started with samples of blood that had been methodically collected from children in Tanzania by Drs. Michal Fried and Patrick Duffy at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Kurtis team carefully examined those samples to find small but crucial differences between children who got infected but didnt fall seriously ill and children who developed a severe case of the disease. Were finding the rare needle in a haystack, Kurtis says. Were finding the rare parasite protein that generates a protective immune response. Earlier vaccine efforts have produced antibodies that target proteins on the malaria parasite... Cho tôi nội dung chính của bài báo đã cho

Researchers think theyve found a promising new potential weapon in the fight against malaria in a fairly unlikely place: the blood of toddlers. In a paper published in Science today, researchers detail how they examined the blood of more than 750 children in Tanzania. They found that about 6% of those children had an antibody against one of the diseases key proteins, and that those children didnt suffer from severe malaria. Researchers think they can make a vaccine patterned on their blood, Paul Rodgers at Forbes explains. Until now, most malaria vaccines have focused on keeping the disease out of the red blood cells it reproduces in. But this antibody is unique in that it instead attacks the protein that allows the parasite to escape the cells. Were sort of trapping the parasite in the burning house, says co-lead author Jonathan Kurtiswho suffered his own bout of malaria while studying in Kenya while in college, NPR reports. The team believes this approach could work in concert with existing vaccines. Its a refreshing, promising idea, one Harvard doctor says, though she cautions that this is a long way from a vaccine that can be used in humans. Its been trialed in mice and will soon be tested on monkeys.

The last unemployment report before the midterms is a strong one. Employers added 250,000 jobs in October, above the forecast of 188,000, reports the Wall Street Journal. The unemployment rate itself remained at a five-decade low of 3.7%, per the AP. The influx of new job-seekers in October increased the proportion of Americans with jobs to its highest level since January 2009. Whats more, wages rose 3.1% when compared to last October, the best such gain since 2009. Its the first time since the recession ended that wages rose more than 3% over a year. Average hourly earnings in the private sector increased 5 cents to 27.30.

Prisoners Heading for Canada 1:01 autoplay autoplay Copy this code to your website or blog The two killers who broke out of a New York prison three weeks ago may be headed for Canada, authorities said Friday. Maj. Charles Guess of the New York State Police said he could not go into specifics, but based on what we know at this point, we have a high degree of confidence in our conclusion. David Sweat and Richard Matt were reported missing from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, on June 6. Investigators believe the men are moving in the dark of night, and items that appear to belong to the men have been found in the northern towns of Belmont and Malone, according to Guess. Multiple law enforcement sources tell NBC news that DNA belonging to at least one of the escaped prisoners was found at a cabin in Malone, a town located about 35 miles northwest of Clinton Correctional and around 10 miles south of the Canadian border. Authorities believe Matt and Sweat have not yet crossed the Canadian border. The break-in at the cabin in Malone was reported to police sometime between Wednesday and 3 p.m. Thursday, sources said. Evidence was recovered and sent for processing, and DNA tests indicate one of the men was at the cabin. There were two reports of break-ins in Malone between Wednesday and 3 p.m. Thursday. State police records indicate those are pending investigations. Two prison workers Gene Palmer, a guard, and Joyce Mitchell, a seamstress have been arrested in connection with the breakout. They are suspected of helping Sweat and Matt. MALONE, N.Y. (AP) Searchers on the trail of two murderers who escaped from a northern New York prison three weeks ago edged closer to the Canadian border Friday after they found new evidence left behind by the pair. New York State Department of Corrections Officers and a forest ranger, right, patrol an area in Owls Head, N.Y. for convicted murderers...

If New York investigators are right, Richard Matt and David Sweat are probably sleeping right nowbut theyll wake soon and continue picking their way through the woods and back roads toward Canada when darkness falls. At an update today on the hunt for the prison escapees, authorities say theyre now pretty sure the men are trying to make the border, reports NBC News. Based on what we know at this point, we have a high degree of confidence in our conclusion, says Maj. Charles Guess of the state police. Guess didnt provide specifics, but he said investigators found significant items from the men in a cabin and in a field in the town of Malone yesterday and this morning, reports AP. Theyve shifted their search accordingly in a bid to head the men off. Matt and Sweat have eluded capture for three weeks now, which is impressive, but it doesnt protect them from this damning stat cited by the Atlantic: More than 92% of escapees from medium- and high-security prisons are caught within a year. Their odds improve somewhat if they make it past a month, however. The search update comes after a second prison worker was charged in the escape. (He once likened the inmates at his prison in Dannemora to caged puppies.)

Issa looks to ban Internet regulations By Brendan Sasso - Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is seeking input on a bill that would impose a two-year ban on new laws or regulations that affect the Internet. Issa released a draft of his Internet American Moratorium Act on Monday night and said that he would answer questions about the legislation on Reddit, a social news and discussion site, on Wednesday morning. The one-page draft bill would prohibit Congress and all regulatory agencies from enacting rules that affect the Internet for two years, with an exception for national security emergencies. Many Reddit users are fierce defenders of Internet freedom, and the site helped organize opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) earlier this year. Issa, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, was one of the leading opponents of the controversial anti-piracy legislation. But Gigi Sohn, president of consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge, explained that Issas bill would not actually prevent Congress from passing laws like SOPA. Even if they pass this bill, Congress could pass another Internet regulation bill that would supersede the previous bill, Sohn said. Issas bill would, however, prevent regulatory agencies, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), from adopting new rules that affect the Internet. Sohn warned that prohibiting all government regulation of the Internet would throw the Internet into corporate hands. Most Democrats support the FCCs net neutrality rules, which prohibit Internet service providers from slowing down or blocking legitimate websites. Supporters say the rules are critical for ensuring an open and free Internet. But Issa and other Republicans argue that net neutrality is an unnecessary burden on businesses. Sohn noted that Issas bill wouldnt stop the net neutrality rules since the FCC already enacted them, but the bill could block other potential regulations, such as rules on broadband caps.

Rep. Darrell Issa is proposing a bill that would create a two-year moratorium on any new laws, rules, or regulations governing the Internet, reports CNN. Its been met with some controversy from fellow politicians and the public alike. The bill could block regulations that protect consumer privacy, says one lawmaker, and may stymie President Obamas efforts to bolster cybersecurity, reports The Hill. Issa is hosting a Q&A on Reddit today to discuss his bill, and plans to adjust it after receiving feedback. A separate battle is happening in Washington over the Do Not Track initiative, which aims to give Internet users the ability to stop the collection of personal information for advertising purposes. Its a tough topic, since online ads are what pay for many free services, reports the Washington Post. The initiatives looked set to move forward after a successful White House event in February, but since then talks have grown bitter, in part due to opposition from advertising groups. The co-chair of the committee working on the initiative announced shed be stepping down today, which could help revive talks.

Danish toy maker Lego will cut 1,400 jobs, or about 8% of its global workforce, after reporting a decline in sales and profits in the first half of 2017. The privately held company said Tuesday that its revenue dropped 5% to 2.4 billion in the first six months of the year, mainly as a result of weakness in established markets like the US and Europe. Profits slipped 3% to 544 million. We are disappointed by the decline in revenue in our established markets, and we have taken steps to address this, said Chairman Joergen Vig Knudstorp, per the AP. He said the long-term aim is to reach more children in our well-established markets in Europe and the United States, and added there were strong growth opportunities in growing markets such as China. The company, he said, needs to simplify its business model to reduce costs, though details werent immediately available on what that might mean. Since 2012, the group has built an increasingly complex organization to support global double-digit growth. However, in the process, we have added complexity into the organization which now in turn makes it harder for us to grow further, Vig Knudstorp said. The company has been lauded for embracing the digital era through smartphone apps and tie-ins with movies and video games, notes Reuters. The maker of the famous colored building blocks has more than 19,000 employees around the world.

Rachael DAmore, CTV Toronto The Toronto District School Board will join other schools in southwestern Ontario who have decided to cancel trips to the U.S., citing concerns over muddled U.S. border restrictions. John Malloy, the TDSB Director of Education, said that 24 trips to the U.S. already approved by the board will proceed for now, but that no new trips will be arranged. The pre-approved trips involve approximately 800 students, as well as 100 students headed to the DECA competition. While already-approved trips are proceeding at this time, its important to note that should the Executive Order be fully implemented, resulting in any of our students being excluded from trips across the U.S. border, then the Board has asked me to cancel already-approved trips to the U.S. for the remainder of the school year, he said in a statement published to the TDSB website Thursday. Malloy said the board is prepared to reimburse students, parents and staff of the trip costs should this occur. We do not make this decision lightly, he said, but given the uncertainty of these new travel restrictions and when they may come into effect, if at all, we strongly believe that our students should not be placed into these situations of potentially being turned away at the border. Though an executive order was handed down by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month, banning travel from citizens of six Muslim-majority countries, it is currently not in effect. Federal court judges in Hawaii and Maryland blocked the order ahead of it being put in place, calling it a violation of the U.S. constitution. While the order does not affect permanent residents or citizens of Canada, Malloy said the board does not want to risk having any one of their students turned away at the border. TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird said Thursday that the board decided to allow the prearranged trips to go forward because they havent encountered an issue at the border with their students in the past. ...

There will be no new trips to the Washington Monument for students within Canadas largest school system. The Toronto District School Board, which includes 245,000 students in 584 schools, will no longer green-light trips south of the border, citing uncertainty over border restrictions. We strongly believe that our students should not be placed into these situations of potentially being turned away at the border in light of President Trumps proposed travel restrictions, TDSB Director of Education John Malloy says, per the Toronto Star. Some 25 trips involving 900 students already scheduled for the spring will go on as planned to prevent financial loss, but the board says all students will turn back if any one student is refused entry into the US. Should Trumps executive order banning travelers from six countries be fully implemented, resulting in any of our students being excluded from trips across the US border, those trips will be cancelled outright, Malloy says, per CTV News. Its not about politics, its about our principles as a school board to be inclusive and equitable, adds a TDSB rep. The Greater Essex County School Board in southwestern Ontario cited similar reasons when banning trips to the US for the month of February. Torontos Ryerson University has halted trips until further notice, as have the Girl Guides of Canada, the Canadian version of the Girl Scouts, per CNN. Other school boards say they could follow in the TDSBs footsteps if travel advisories change.

Summarize this: SANAA/ADEN U.S. special forces stormed a walled compound in a remote Yemeni village early on Saturday in an attempt to free Western hostages held by an al Qaeda unit, but an American journalist and a South African teacher were killed by their captors, officials said. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and a Yemeni intelligence official said Luke Somers, 33, and South African Pierre Korkie, 56, were shot by their kidnappers shortly after the raid began in the arid Wadi Abadan district of Shabwa, a province long seen as one of al Qaedas most formidable strongholds. It was the second U.S. attempt to free Somers in 10 days and Kerry said it had been approved because of information that Somers life was in imminent danger. It was our assessment that that clock would run out on Saturday, one U.S. official said. However, the Gift of the Givers relief group, which was trying to secure Korkies release, said it had negotiated for the teacher to be freed and had expected that to happen on Sunday and for him to be returned to his family. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is seen by Washington as one of al Qaedas most dangerous branches. The United States has worked with Yemens government and via drone strikes to attack its leaders in southern and eastern Yemen. The callous disregard for Lukes life is more proof of the depths of AQAPs depravity, and further reason why the world must never cease in seeking to defeat their evil ideology, President Barack Obama said in a statement. Obama said he had authorized the operation and said the United States would spare no effort to use all of its military, intelligence and diplomatic capabilities to bring Americans home safely, wherever they are located. SHOOT-OUT A U.S. defense official said about 40 U.S. special forces troops, flown in by tilt-rotor CV-22 Osprey aircraft, had advanced to within 100 meters (yards) of the walled compound where the hostages were held before the defenders were alerted and a firefight started. About 10 people,...

The US commandos who tried to rescue American Luke Somers in Yemen came agonizingly close to doing so, according to an account in the Wall Street Journal. It says that about 40 special-ops troops got to within 100 yards of the walled compound in silence about 1am local time. Then, a noise, maybe a dog bark, alerted the militants to the raiders, writes Adam Entous, who spoke to US officials familiar with the rescue attempt. A 30-minute firefight ensued, during which officials think a militant from Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula slipped into the building where Somers was being held and shot him and South African hostage Pierre Korkie. The US troops killed about 10 militants and managed to escape with the two wounded hostages, but one died in the military aircraft carrying him away and the other died on an operating table. The callous disregard for Lukes life is more proof of the depths of AQAPs depravity, and further reason why the world must never cease in seeking to defeat their evil ideology, said President Obama, as per Reuters. Obama approved the raid, the second in two weeks to try to free Somers, after AQAP promised to kill the photojournalist later today.

It appears Lea Michele is beginning to move on, almost a year after the death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith. The Glee actress met Matthew Paetz on the set of one of her music videos in April, and shes reportedly been seeing him, quietly, for a couple months. For a long time, Lea wasnt close to even thinking about getting into a relationship, a source tells People. Corys death was and will continue to be a struggle for her. Paetz is an aspiring actor and model, People notes, and on his Twitter account he describes himself as a dating and lifestyle coachbut TMZ says he is, or was, also a gigolo who went by the name Christian on Cowboys4Angels, a site offering male companionship thats featured on Showtimes Gigolos. TMZ has a screenshot of Christians profile, which described him as a life coach, dating expert, and massage therapist who charged 350 per hour or 6,000 per weekend, but the gossip site says the profile is now hidden or removed. Sources say Paetz last took a client in April, but has taken a break since he and Michele got together. She was apparently unhappy after TMZs gigolo story, the site notes in a follow-up, but sources say Paetz told her he really just coaches gigolos, and had only gone out with a few clients, for research purposes. But a TMZ source says Paetz had been working as an escort for nearly a year, and had gone on more than a few outings. But Michele feels hes a great guy, another source tells E!. He treats her really well, hes smart and fun. Shes really happy.

Publicity-mad glamour model Josie Cunningham has cancelled plans to sell tickets to her babys birth after discovering shes expecting a girl. She has also vowed to quit drinking and smoking, and says she has huge regrets over her unhealthy lifestyle, which she blames on the disappointment of believing her third child would be a third son. I want to enjoy my precious first few moments alone with my daughter and my mum not share them with the world, she said today. It will be special. Josie who revels in being known as Britains most hated woman last week found out medics were wrong about the sex of the baby she is expecting in October. She went back for a second opinion after using a DIY home scan kit, which indicated her new baby would be a girl. Doctors have now confirmed that this is the case. Noble Draper Demi Moore wannabe: Josies baby isnt far off Josie, 24, shocked the nation by turning to booze and fags when she thought her baby would be a boy. But yesterday she said: I have been such a silly girl and have lots of regrets. I can see that now I know I am going to have a daughter. The former escort, who first gained notoriety last year for her boob job on the NHS, later threatened to abort her baby for a chance to appear on Big Brother. She then decided to go ahead with the pregnancy but revealed she would be selling tickets for 40,000 to be at the birth. She even planned to broadcast it on Skype, charging viewers 200 each to log on. Expecting: Josie is also known as Britains most hated woman After changing her mind, Josie, of Leeds, also revealed: Ive really started looking after myself. I have never purposely put my child at any risk, but when I was originally told I was having a boy I just lost all willpower to avoid the cravings. Now all thats changed. Im ashamed of the way I have portrayed myself. Ive now cut down to just one or two fags a day. Im about to get hypnotherapy to stop completely. Josie who has narrowed the possible fathers of her baby... Tóm tắt văn bản trên

An aspiring model and former escort in Britain says she wont be selling tickets to her babys birth after all, and has decided to quit smoking and drinkingall because she found out she was having a girl, not a boy. Josie Cunningham, dubbed Britains most hated woman, now says shes ashamed of her plans to offer tickets to the birth at around 66,000 a pop and charge Skype viewers 330 to watch via livestream, reports the Daily Mirror. At least four people had paid an apparently reduced price of 15,000 each per ticket, according to the Daily News. Why else dont the Brits like her? She had a breast augmentation paid for by the public health system, and told the Mirror earlier this year that she was being considered for Big Brother and would abort her baby if it would help her chances. Then she apparently got upset upon learning that her baby would be another boy (she already has two sons). So she coped by drinking and smoking, until doctors said last week that the baby will actually be a girl. I have been such a silly girl and have lots of regrets, Cunningham says. I can see that now I know I am going to have a daughter.

Summarize this: Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney shares a laugh with President Obama after finishing up the first presidential debate at the University of Denver.

President Barack Obama walks on stage during a campaign event on Thursday, Oct. 4, in Denver. Click here for photos from last nights presidential debate. A day after his subdued debate performance, President Obama delivered a feistier critique of Republican nominee Mitt Romney, telling 12,000 supporters on Thursday that his rival had misrepresented his positions because he does not want to be held accountable. Obama said the very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney onstage at the University of Denver was an imposter who suddenly was dancing around his positions on tax cuts, education and outsourcing. It couldnt have been the real Mitt Romney, Obama told 12,300 supporters at Sloanes Lake Park, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country all year promising 5 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy, but the fellow onstage last night did not know anything about that. The real Mitt Romney said we do not need any more teachers in the classroom, but the fellow onstage said he loves teachers, cant get enough of them. Obama added that Romney misled viewers during the debate because he knows full well that we dont want what hes been selling for the last year. The Obama campaign is hoping that by attacking Romneys truthfulness, it can create a counter-narrative that while Romney might have won on style points, the president had offered more substance and consistency. The campaign has already produced a television ad with footage of Romney denying that his...

Obama fans might take heart. The man they wanted to show up at last nights debate finally surfaced at a rally in Denver today. Stories are using words like feistier (Washington Post), aggressive (the AP), coming out swinging (the Hill), and fired up (Politico) to describe the presidents speech. Some examples: That very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney last night must have been an imposter, said Obama, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country all year promising 5 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy, but the fellow onstage last night did not know anything about that. The Mitt Romney we all know invested in companies that were pioneers in outsourcing. But the guy onstage last night said he doesnt even know about laws that encourage offshoring. I mean thank goodness somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird. Its about time. We didnt know that Big Bird was driving the federal deficit. But thats what we heard last night. Elmo, too? Gov. Romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be president, you owe the American people the truth. The Romney camp dismissed it all as damage control. The president adjusted to the altitude, apparently?

I. The operation of the HYSY 981 drilling rig On 2 May 2014, a Chinese companys HYSY 981 drilling rig started its drilling operation inside the contiguous zone of Chinas Xisha Islands (see Annex 1/5 for the locations of operation) for the purpose of oil and gas exploration. With the first phase of the operation completed, the second phase began on 27 May. The two locations of operation are 17 nautical miles from both the Zhongjian Island of Chinas Xisha Islands and the baseline of the territorial waters of Xisha Islands, yet approximately 133 to 156 nautical miles away from the coast of the Vietnamese mainland. The Chinese company has been conducting explorations in the related waters for the past 10 years, including seismic operations and well site surveys. The drilling operation carried out by HYSY 981 this time is a continuation of the routine process of explorations, and falls well within Chinas sovereignty and jurisdiction. II. Vietnams provocation Shortly after the Chinese operation started, Vietnam sent a large number of vessels, including armed vessels, to the site, illegally and forcefully disrupting the Chinese operation and ramming the Chinese government vessels on escort and security missions there. In the meantime, Vietnam also sent frogmen and other underwater agents to the area, and dropped large numbers of obstacles, including fishing nets and floating objects, in the waters. As of 5 pm on 7 June, there were as many as 63 Vietnamese vessels in the area at the peak, attempting to break through Chinas cordon and ramming the Chinese government ships for a total of 1,416 times. The above-mentioned actions of the Vietnamese side were serious infringements upon Chinas sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction, grave threats to the safety of Chinese personnel and the HYSY 981 drilling rig, and gross violations of the relevant international laws, including the Charter of the United Nations, the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and 1988 Convention for the...

The dispute between China and Vietnam, fueled by the contentious location of a Chinese oil rig, is heating up: Now China is accusing Vietnamese ships of ramming its vessels well over a thousand times during the last month, the BBC reports. As of 5pm on 7 June, there were as many as 63 Vietnamese vessels in the area at the peak ... ramming the Chinese government ships for a total of 1,416 times, China says in a statement, which notes the ramming began shortly after it moved the rig on May 2. And the country is defending that movement to a spot that it says falls well within Chinas sovereignty and jurisdiction. Chinas drilling is occurring far closer to its own islands, the Paracels, than to Vietnams mainland, China claims. Trouble is, Vietnam also claims the Paracel Islands. Among Chinas justifications for its claim: It raised a flag on the islands in 1911, and a 1974 Vietnamese 9th-grade textbook allegedly says theyre Chinese, the BBC notes. For its part, Vietnam last week called on the US to make further practical acts to settle the disagreements in accordance with international law.

The moment has arrived. Executives from Research in Motion have gathered for a six-city, simultaneous launch of BlackBerry 10, a mobile operating system that will power a new series of phones (and who knows what else). In one hour well hear about the all-new BlackBerry 10 platfor, and two new phones, rumored to be called the Z10 and X10. Here in New York, hundreds of analysts, journalists and industry observers are bustling around the blue-tinted environs of Pier 36 in the Lower East Side for the launch which starts at 10am EST (7am Pacific). Some are skeptical about todays launch. RIMs global market share is down to roughly 6% from a peak of 20% just three years ago; its shares are down 80% in the same period. This is a story of how quickly even dominant players in the new world of telecoms can fall behind if they stall in development: take a breath and youre king of the industry; let it out and someones just overtaken you. In RIMs case, iPhones and Android phones became the devices everyone wanted for both work and play, crimping RIMs marketshare after a peak in 2009. A trickier-than-expected transition from RIMs purchase of QNX in 2010 didnt help matters. QNX technology will now power BB10. Today is widely seen as the companys last shot at relevance, a cliched Hail Mary Pass. It has laid off thousands of employees to save 1 billion in costs, but today RIM is pulling out the stops with a big launch venue.

The six-city launch of the new BlackBerry 10 phones and operating system is now complete. One of the biggest shockers from the event: Research in Motion is scrapping its name, and will now be known simply as BlackBerry. Other developments: CEO Thorsten Heins underscored the heartfelt and brutal honesty BlackBerry had to go through to get to this day, reports Forbes. Its been a long haul for the phone, which is debuting nearly a year late. Heins showcased two phones: the Z10, which has a full 4.2-inch touchscreen, and the Q10, which has a traditional keyboard set below a smaller touchscreen. Heins said the Q10 was created for customers that said we just have to have a physical keyboarding experience, reports USA Today. The company also added some star power, announcing that Alicia Keys would be its new Global Creative director, a position created for her, the Verge reports. The company also boasted that Neil Gaiman and Robert Rodriguez will be using the phone for a film and art/storytelling project. On to the features. First up was BlackBerry Hub, the central interface for the Z10. It has a tiled layout not unlike Microsofts latest Windows iteration. BlackBerry software honcho Vivek Bhardwaj also showed off BlackBerry Peek, the phones notification system, which allows users to check emails and calendars without leaving the app theyre using. Bhardwaj also discussed the hotly anticipated BlackBerry Balance feature, which aims to reinstate BlackBerrys dominance among business users. It allows users to maintain a personal profile on the phone, while a company can access the phones professional profile. As for hardware, BlackBerrys camera now allows for face-to-face messaging. The Z10 will be available in black and white, and ZDNet notes prices will hover around 149 for a three-month contract, depending on the carrier. The phones will be available tomorrow in the UK, but the US will have to cool its heel until March.

Mr. Delahunt, a six-term congressman, is the least prominent of the four but perhaps the funniest. More to the point, he is the only one willing to sleep in the living room with a close-up view of Mr. Schumer slumbering a few feet away in his boxers. Photo Mr. Miller began taking in weary lawmakers in 1982, but this is the first time in 12 years that four members of a Democratic majority have lived here simultaneously. The four men were once host to a fund-raiser for Senator Barbara Boxer of California at their divey dwelling, raising 80,000. Given the prevailing attire in the place on many nights, guests were given pairs of custom-made Barbara Boxer shorts. As a general rule, the abode is hardly fit for entertaining, or even for a health inspector. It is used for convenience: sleeping, ditching stuff, and fast-food consumption the kinds of functions prized by vagabond politicians whose families are back in their home states and who generally spend only their working weekdays here. Everybody in the world says theyre going to do a television series based on us, said Mr. Durbin, who was collapsed on the couch on a recent Monday night. Still in a tie, he sipped ice water from a massive Chicago Cubs cup while waiting for the Chinese food to arrive. But then they realize that the story of four middle-aged men, with no sex and violence, is not going to last two weeks, he said. The prevailing topics of their discussions are grandchildren and Metamucil, he added. Hey, speak for yourself, Durbin, Mr. Delahunt said, protesting the claim of no sex and violence. There is a lot of violence in here, Mr. Schumer said. In fact, the roommates have never resorted to violence, at least with one another. (Crickets are another story.) Their weapons are verbal, and often aimed at Mr. Schumer, who admits to a serious dereliction of roommate duties, like grocery shopping. He is also prone to a blatant disregard for conserving a most precious household resource, cereal. Photo I love cereal,... Cho tôi nội dung chính của bài báo đã cho

Amazon is ramping up its competition with Netflix: The latter has House of Cards, and now Amazon has its own original series set in DC ... with House in the title. Alpha House was created by Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau, who also writes the series about four Republican senators living together. The pilot (which features cameos by Bill Murray and Stephen Colbert) went online a month ago, along with 13 others, and Amazon looked at customer feedback to determine which to pick up for a full season. Alpha House was one of just two comedy pilots to make the cut. The Washington Post describes Alpha House as political satire in which the senators, played by John Goodman, Mark Consuelos, Clark Johnson, and Matt Malloy live like frat brothers. It was inspired by a real Capitol Hill property in which Democratic senators have lived over the years, and its been kicking around in Trudeaus brain since 2008. Notes the director of Amazon Studios, When it comes to Washington and its foibles and what makes it unique, few people have been more insightful and more knowledgeable than Garry Trudeau.

Princess Mako will lose royal status when she marries Kei Komuro, a paralegal, whose mother is reportedly in debt over his education The parents of Japans Princess Mako have said that her marriage cannot go ahead until her fiances mother has resolved a reported financial scandal. Mako, the eldest grandchild of Emperor Akihito, caused a stir last September when she announced her engagement to Kei Komuro, whom she had met while they were studying at a university in Tokyo. Komuro has done some work as an assistant at a law firm in Tokyo, Okuno & Partners, and is soon to attend Fordham Law School in New York on a scholarship. The princess, who like all female members of the imperial family who marry a commoner would lose her royal status, was due to wed the 26-year-old paralegal in November this year, but in February their nuptials were abruptly postponed until 2020. Japans Princess Mako postpones wedding until 2020 Read more The couple said they needed more time to prepare and to think about marriage more deeply. There were also concerns that preparations for the wedding, the first in the imperial family since Akihitos only daughter married in a low-key ceremony in 2005, could overshadow his abdication on 30 April next year. The 84-year-old will be replaced on the Chrysanthemum throne the following day by his eldest son, Crown Prince Naruhito. We have come to realise the lack of time to make sufficient preparations for various events leading up to our marriage this autumn and our life afterward, Mako said in a statement at the time. We believe that we have rushed various things. Japanese media have reported, however, that Makos parents, Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko, were increasingly troubled by media reports that Komuros mother was experiencing financial problems stemming from a loan she received from her former partner to cover her sons tuition. Makos parents reportedly told the Komuros at several face-to-face meetings that the wedding could be marred by the... Tóm tắt bài báo đã cho

Japan may be a losing a princess, but the imperial family sure isnt making the process an easy one: A proposed wedding between Princess Mako and her non-royal college sweetheart has hit yet another bump. As Kyodo News reports, the princess family is worried about a money issue swirling around the family of her potential future husband, Kei Komuro. It seems that Komuros mother used money from a former romantic partner to pay for her sons educational expenses. Now theres apparently a rift between the two former lovers about repayment, and Makos parents, Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko, want it publicly cleared up before any nuptials take place, according to Japanese media reports. This isnt the first sign of trouble for the impending nuptials. The couple initially announced plans to marry in November 2017, but abruptly postponed the wedding until 2020 and explained that they were rushing things. And when New Yorks Fordham University announced that the princess fiance would be attending law school there, the Japanese royal family chafed at the term fiance as the couples engagement ceremony has not taken place, prompting the school to issue a new release without it. Assuming Princess Mako goes through with the wedding, she will have to renounce her royal status, though the Guardian notes that the couple would get nearly 1 million from the government to help with that transition. (All this is unfolding as the princess grandfather, Emperor Akhito, prepares to abdicate next year.)
