More than two-thirds of the recent rapid melting of the world's glaciers can be blamed on humans, a new study finds.
President Barack Obama on Thursday promised to expand U.S. humanitarian relief to Iraqis threatened by the advancing army of the Islamic State militants.
Police used tear gas and smoke bombs to repel crowds who threw Molotov cocktails during another violent night on the streets of a St. Louis suburb in the wake of the shooting of the unarmed 18-year old Michael Brown.
An Israeli military tactic that allows overwhelming fire to stop the capture of soldiers -- even at the risk of killing them -- is facing criticism after its use in the Gaza war killed some 100 Palestinians.
A large international study questions the conventional wisdom that most people should cut back on salt, suggesting that the amount most folks consume is OK for heart health -- and too little may be as bad as too much. The findings came under immediate attack by other scientists.
The Obama administration is grappling with how to bridge the gap between its increasingly dire assessment of the threat posed by the Islamic State group and the limited, defensive air campaign it has so far undertaken, which military officials acknowledge will not blunt the group's momentum.
Police patrol cars are usually Fords or Chryslers, not Maseratis. So when a patrolman in Braintree, Massachusetts, spotted a Maserati resembling a police cruiser over the weekend, he pulled it over.
Robin Williams' daughter has abandoned her online social media accounts in disgust following what she called "cruel and unnecessary" messages following her father's death, a move that has prompted Twitter to explore how it handles such situations.
It's a jungle out there in political television advertising, what with parrots, chicks, dogs and pigs taking turns in commercials that bite and scratch in a way no nonpartisan pet ever would.
Hundreds of thousands of people who signed up under the new health care law risk losing their taxpayer-subsidized insurance unless they act quickly to resolve questions about their citizenship or immigration status. The government warned on Tuesday that they have just over three weeks to show that they're eligible.
Although police have now revealed how Robin Williams committed suicide, the Oscar-winning actor's fans, friends and even family continue to struggle to understand why someone who spread so much joy throughout the world could find so little in his own life that he decided to stop living.
Lauren Bacall was a movie star from almost her first moment on the silver screen.
After distancing herself from some of President Barack Obama's foreign policy, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called her ex-boss Tuesday to try to smooth things over and planned on "hugging it out" in person at an upcoming get-together.
The executives mingled over tea and sugar cookies, and the chatter was upbeat. Their industry, they said at a conference in the Indian capital, saves lives and brings roofs, walls and pipes to some of the world's poorest people.
Robin Williams, a brilliant shapeshifter who could channel his frenetic energy into delightful comic characters like "Mrs. Doubtfire" or harness it into richly nuanced work like his Oscar-winning turn in "Good Will Hunting," died Monday in an apparent suicide. He was 63.
The Drug Enforcement Administration paid an Amtrak employee hundreds of thousands of dollars over two decades to obtain confidential information it could have gotten for free, according to internal investigators at the railroad.
A convoy of 280 Russian trucks reportedly packed with aid headed for eastern Ukraine on Tuesday, but Ukraine said it would deny the mission entry because it has not been certified by the Red Cross and could be a covert military operation.

An excellent effort form Nottingham saw them move up to
fifth in the Championship table with a 28-13 win at Cornish
From start to finish they were the better side, outplaying their
hosts in just about every aspect of the game.
Two first half tries from outside-half Dan Mugford, followed by
a second half brace from skipper Brent Wilson, saw them grab a
vital bonus point, while the hosts managed a solitary effort from
winger Kieran Goss.
The Green and Whites set the tone in the opening minutes as
Mugford slipped through to open the scoring with a try, although he
was off target with his conversion attempt.
Two penalties from Kieran Hallett gave the home side a one point
lead just before the half hour mark before Mugford intercepted on
the home 10 metre line to race in for his second try of the game to
make it 6-10 at the break.
And Mugford extended that lead early in the second half with a
penalty only to see Pirates run in a try through Goss, with Hallett
doing particularly well to land a difficult conversion
But Nottingham were dominating possession and began to put
together some potent attacks. They forced a series of penalties in
the home 22, eventually driving Wilson over for a try.
A couple of half chances went begging before an almost identical
try from Wilson twelve minutes from time, converted by replacement
Will Maisey, brought a deserved bonus point, and sealed an
important victory.

Rumor: XBLA to get Eets and Luxor 2 [update 1]
XBLArcade brings us two juicy rumors today. The first is that Klei's Eets is headed to Xbox Live Arcade. According to an entry from the USK (essentially the German version of the ESRB), a 360 game called EETs Chowdown (in the "Arcade" genre) has been rated appropriate for all ages. Naturally, the speculation here is that Eets must exist in order to be rated. Not ironclad proof that the game is headed for the Arcade, but it's a significant marker to be sure. You can check out an Eets demo here.
The second rumor is that MumboJumbo's Luxor 2 is also headed to the arcade. Luxor 2 (play the demo here) is something like a combination between Breakout and Zuma, in which players match different colored balls as they come tumbling toward the bottom of the screen. The rumor stems from a rating found on the ESRB website. To see it yourself, search for Luxor 2 and restrict the platforms to the Xbox 360. Granted, we have no confirmation on either of these titles, but with review code out there somewhere, signs definitely point to yes. Good news, especially for those of us crying for some non-action Arcade titles.
Update: Klei is responsible for Eets. NinjaBee is only a distributor.

Oxford University appoints Israel studies professor with £3m donation
Oxford University has appointed its first chair of Israel studies to research the economics, society and politics of the Jewish state, following a £3m benefaction by a charitable foundation.
Derek Penslar, professor of Jewish history at Toronto university, will take up the post next year as a fellow of St Anne's College. He said he regarded himself as under an obligation to "strive for political neutrality" and would study Israel "within a global context". "One cannot understand Zionism without studying the history of nationalism, both within Europe and as a reaction against European colonialism.
"One cannot understand Israeli politics, or the relationship between the Israeli state and its military, outside of the framework of Arab-Israeli relations and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Penslar told the Guardian in an email. "Israel's economy is, particularly in recent years, very much a product of trends towards globalization."...

Makos end losing streak against BOP
Relevant offers
Captain Andrew Goodman got to celebrate his 50th outing in the appropriate manner after leading the Tasman Makos to a relieving 17-3 ITM Cup rugby win over Bay of Plenty at Nelson's Trafalgar Park tonight.
It ended a three-match losing streak by Tasman, while also keeping them on target for a home championship semifinal.
However, it heaped the pressure back on premiership team Bay of Plenty as they continue to flirt with the threat of relegation.
Fullback Tom Marshall capped a period of early Tasman pressure with the game's opening try, winger Peter Betham and powerful No 8 Jordan Taufua both featuring in the buildup with telling breaks to help the home team to a 7-0 lead after nine minutes.
Bay of Plenty wasted a golden opportunity to equalise when fullback Nick McCashin dropped a pass from winger Lelia Masaga with the line open seven minutes later.
A Marshall penalty stretched Tasman's lead to 10-0, before Bay of Plenty finally got on the board with a penalty to McCashin at 10-3 after 24 minutes.
Winger Robbie Malneek sparked Tasman's second try, breaking cleanly into Bay of Plenty's quarter before he was upended near the line, hooker Quentin MacDonald on hand to score as Tasman increased their lead to 17-3 at the break.
Betham, Malneek and Marshall were constant threats and Taufua and lock Riki Hoeata prominent in Tasman's forward effort during an enterprising first half performance.
Tasman's scrum was also dominant, Bay of Plenty twice undone by poor handling with the defensive line broken.
Tasman's defence was put under severe pressure after the restart as they were forced to repel a series of attacking lineouts.
But the home team responded superbly as Tasman continued to repel Bay of Plenty's attacks Tasman still struggled to get their hands on the ball as a desperate Bay of Plenty started to run out of ideas.
Then suddenly it was over, Goodman's team mates mobbing their skipper after a scoreless second half.
Tasman 17 (Tom Marshall, Quentin MacDonald tries, Marshall pen, 2 cons) Bay of Plenty 3 (Nick McCashin pen) Ht 17-3.

Up close and personal with 10 hungry lions
It's impossible to describe the deep-throated snarling, the primeval smell of blood, fur, breath, guts
If you had asked me a week ago how I'd feel about watching 10 lions devour a freshly killed impala from a distance of no more than six feet with nothing but the mud guard of an open Jeep between me and the diners, I'd probably have said "peckish" or "petrified", something trite knowing that it would never happen. Well, it just has, and for the record I wasn't petrified. I was quivering with the same nameless terror that I used to feel as a child when Sister Agnes Paul at the Convent of St Francis de Sales told me that Reverend Mother wanted to see me in her study after vespers. Reverend Mother had a moustache and a broad leather belt with which she used to beat recalcitrant pupils - the belt, not the moustache.

I was quivering with the same nameless terror that I used to feel as a child when Sister Agnes Paul at the Convent of St Francis de Sales told me that Reverend Mother wanted to see me in her study after vespers. Reverend Mother had a moustache and a broad leather belt with which she used to beat recalcitrant pupils - the belt, not the moustache.
We're in South Africa, staying at Kirkman's Camp in Sabi Sands, a private game reserve adjoining the Kruger National Park. It's a family holiday; we've brought a couple of the children and granny, which, my husband said, when he booked the trip, might kill two birds with one stone. It would be educational for the boys and with any luck a foolproof, if unorthodox, way of getting rid of my mother.
Kirkman's Camp is totally unfenced: the animals are free to move in and out as they please. After nightfall guests are advised not to leave their rooms in individual, colonial-style bungalows dotted around the site unless accompanied by a ranger in case they should run into a prowling hyena or leopard. My mother, an independent woman, a law unto herself as they say, has never been one to take advice and is living proof of the old adage that behind every successful man there stands an astonished mother-in-law.
Our personal game ranger (all the guests are provided with one) is called Donovan. He is 19, just four years older than my youngest son but in terms of practical experience and knowledge of wildlife, flora, fauna, entomology, ornithology, climatology, animal behaviour, ecology, sustainable development and basic car mechanics, he is closer in age to Methuselah. Watching bull elephants on musth, a pair of two-ton rhinos fighting or vultures hovering over an injured bush buck is undoubtedly educational for kids brought up in London but not half as educational as having Donovan as a role model.
There are other far more luxurious safari hotels in Sabi Sands with marble everywhere, individual plunge pools and spas. Richard Branson, of course, has one, but they're not the Real McCoy. Kirkman's Camp is. It used to belong to Harry Kirkman who moved into this cool, rambling colonial house with old-fashioned ceiling fans and wooden verandahs in 1927 to farm cattle. Not a brilliant idea in the African bush where predators are as thick on the ground as flies round a carcass. He'd probably have been better off in Dorset but, like my mother, Harry Kirkman wasn't one for advice, and it was only after he'd killed 500 lions to protect his wretched cows that he saw the light and became a rabid wildlife conservationist.
It's a magical place - the peace, the views, the sounds, the smells, the waitresses at breakfast carrying baskets of fresh croissants and homemade bread on their heads and, best of all, the twice-daily, off-road game drives. There's a points table in the bar for guests to keep score, 150 for a leopard, 50 for a lion, one for an impala, 200 for a kill or a fight and a bonus if you see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo) in a single day.
Heading back to camp after our first evening game drive - we'd already totted up an impressive score, four of the Big Five and had drinks and snacks in the bush while watching the sunset - we saw the kill I mentioned earlier. Donovan stopped the Jeep six feet from the nearest lion ripping open the impala's stomach, remarking casually that if we remained seated and made no sudden movement, we'd be perfectly safe.
What can I say? It's impossible to describe the scene, the sensations, the closeness, the deep-throated snarling, the primeval smell of blood, fur, breath, guts, the 10 pairs of huge yellow teeth wrenching, tearing, gnawing and, scariest of all, the pale yellow eyes occasionally turning from their prey to stare straight into mine. There were scuffles between the lions. Two young males were fighting over what was left of the impala's head. Only the matriarch of the pride, an old lioness, huge with a torn ear, had the sense to carry her portion off a little way and have her dinner in peace.
"If I leaned out of the car," said my mother, "I could touch that lion." "Why not try?" said my husband hopefully, but she didn't. Old ladies, like old lionesses, aren't stupid.

Entourage: Drive (season premiere)
by Jonathan Toomey, posted Jul 12th 2009 11:00PM
(S06E01) "Can we drive with the airbags deployed?" - Drama
The boys are back, and as I mentioned in my Early Look review last week, everything we knew about Entourage finally seems to be evolving. Some of it's logical and some of it's forced so that the story progresses, but all of it makes sense. Entourage was due for an overhaul if you think about it, and what could be more perfect than seeing what life is like for the guys when they aren't constantly worrying about Vince's career?
You think Turtle would have ever had time to smoke a J in a hot tub with Jamie-Lynn Sigler if Scorsese hadn't called Vince? I don't think so.

Adam Lind is back in the Blue Jays' starting lineup
Jul 3, 2013, 7:03 PM EST
From John Lott of Canada's National Post comes word that Adam Lind is in the Blue Jays' starting lineup on Wednesday night against the Tigers after sitting out Monday and Tuesday due to tightness in the middle of his back. He willl serve as Toronto's designated hitter while Mark DeRosa plays first.
The mid-back tightness was never a major concern.
Lind, 29, has bounced back in a big way this year from his struggles in 2010-2012, boasting a superb .327/.386/.547 batting line with 11 home runs, 14 doubles and 33 RBI. The Jays are 37-31 in games he's played this season and 41-42 overall.

Exclusive: The mainstream U.S. media likes to talk about Ukraine as an "information war," meaning that the Russians are making stuff up. But the false narratives are actually being hatched more on the U.S. side, as a new New York Times story acknowledges, writes Robert Parry.
Tag Archive for New York Times
Will Ukraine Be NYT's Waterloo?
Exclusive: As Ukrainian soldiers from the coup regime in Kiev tighten the noose around anti-coup rebels in eastern Ukraine, the New York Times continues its cheerleading for the coup regime and its contempt for the rebels, raising grave questions about the Times' credibility, writes Robert Parry.
Twisting Putin's Words on Ukraine
Exclusive: Anti-Russian bias pervades the mainstream U.S. media in the Ukraine crisis, reflected in word choices – "pro-democracy" for U.S.-favored protesters in Kiev, "terrorists" for disfavored eastern Ukrainians – but also in how the narrative is shaped by false summaries, as Robert Parry explains.
Why Neocons Seek to Destabilize Russia
Exclusive: Any propaganda war starts by planting stories that your target is getting rich, whether he is or isn't, the latest move in demonizing Vladimir Putin. But the larger question is what might happen if the neocons succeed in destabilizing nuclear-armed Russia, asks Robert Parry.
NYT Retracts Russian-Photo Scoop
Exclusive: After starting a propaganda stampede – with a lead story about photos of Russian troops purportedly in Ukraine – the New York Times admits the pictures really don't prove much, and one photo was labeled as snapped in Russia when it was really taken in Ukraine, writes Robert Parry.
Another NYT-Michael Gordon Special?
Exclusive: The New York Times is at it again with a lead story citing grainy photos from the post-putsch regime in Kiev as proving that Russian special forces are behind the popular uprisings in eastern Ukraine, another slanted story coauthored by Michael Gordon, as Robert Parry reports.
Ukraine, Through the US Looking Glass
Exclusive: As the post-coup regime in Ukraine sends troops and paramilitaries to crack down on ethnic Russian protesters in the east, the U.S. news media continues to feed the American public a steady dose of anti-Russian propaganda, often wrapped in accusations of "Russian propaganda," Robert Parry reports.
The Collapsing Syria-Sarin Case
Exclusive: Defenders of the old conventional wisdom blaming the Syrian government for the Aug. 21 Sarin attack are going after investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, who implicates Syrian jihadists and Turkish intelligence. But the defenders are relying on long-discredited claims, says Robert Parry.
Debating Secrecy vs. a Free Press
The U.S. government's campaign against "leakers" has pushed together some odd media bedfellows, with representatives of the mainstream news media joining with more active players who help disseminate government secrets in a conference on the dangers now facing a free press, as Danny Schechter observed.
Mainstream US Media Is Lost in Ukraine
Exclusive: The U.S. mainstream news media is reaching a new professional low point as it covers the Ukraine crisis by brazenly touting Official Washington's propaganda themes, blatantly ignoring contrary facts and leading the American public into another geopolitical blind alley, writes Robert Parry.

Far from a watered-down PS2 port, Fireteam Bravo provides a full-on FPS gaming experience on the PSP, with some multiplayer and connectivity features thrown in for good measure.
The real 'Must-Have' game of the year for anyone who owns a PSP. It's single-player game will steal your heart but it's the perfect multiplayer mode that will steal your soul.
Zipper Interactive has done a great job by bringing the enjoyable gameplay of the console versions to the PSP with minimal change to the classic formula.
With only a few exceptions, it exceeds every expectation. Bravo, indeed. [Jan 2006, p.102]
Just what the PSP needs more of: the perfect match of a game and its system. [Feb 2006, p.90]
Despite a couple minor complaints and a steep learning curve, Fireteam Bravo is easily the best game of its type on the PSP.
Zipper Interactive managed to create very smooth, simple controls for a unit without a second analog nub (a minor miracle), and brought along all the SOCOM visual treats and gameplay nuances that fans of the genre crave, and the PSP enabled them to do this all in style.
Like Cereal, Fireteam Bravo can be had at any course of the day no matter the event. Though the graphical glitches may leave the player dissatisfied with the quality, there is nothing wrong and you have to understand that it was made that way for a longer gameplay experience to benefit from.
The best shooter on the PSP to date, if not one of the best titles on the system itself. A solid single player campaign and a robust multiplayer experience round out Fireteam Bravo.
If publishers and developers insist on making PSP games with big-console values, they could definitely learn a thing or two from Fireteam Bravo.
The game offers hard-hitting offline and online gameplay, impressive map sizes, and a pleasantly intuitive shooter interface, all while maintaining the feel and intensity of combat that is so familiar to fans of SOCOM.
If you want to have a shooter on the go, SOCOM is one of the few games to make a compelling portable shooter experience.
It is by far the most well rounded SOCOM game and delivers extended replay value both online and off.
The single player is fun, but the real lasting value can be found online.
Fire Team Bravo is amazing simply because it's broken through first. The team at Zipper have done an admirable job of shrinking their larger-than-life, third-person shooter package onto a PSP without losing much in the translation.
The online is fantastic, the voice communication is unbelievable and the game packs everything else you need for a true SOCOM experience in your hands.
Clearly the most impressive and important aspect of this game is its multi-player mode.
Fireteam Bravo is a slightly flawed gem, but it's a gem nonetheless and its gameplay online and off shines bright enough on the PSP's widescreen to capture the hearts and minds of the SOCOM faithful and all PSP gamers who have been long starved of first-class gaming entertainment.
Though the graphics did disappoint me all was made better as the game has great sound, a creative control scheme, a good single player campaign and a robust multiplayer mode.
With 16 players via either Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode, the game has excellent potential for a very long-term multiplayer lifespan. The singleplayer aspect is great as well, and with the addition of the Instant Action mode, also has quite a long life for itself.
A shocker of a shooter, providing PSP players with access to an experience unlike any they've ever held in their hands – tactical online fragging.
If it wasn't for the stupid AI and clunky movement and weapon selecting, this would be a far better game for solo players, but online is very good and will likely reside as the top PSP online game for a long time.
This game has it all. Fantastic solo gaming, endless online options, a console interface, SOCOM 3 connectivity, and even the promise of voice chat if I can ever find that PSP headset.
The hugely substantial team based multiplayer, coupled with the headset support, is easily enough to warrant a purchase.
Easily the best single-player shooter on the PSP, but of course there aren't that many available. [Jan 2006, p.82]
The core designs that have marked this tactical-shooter franchise are well represented. [Dec 2005, p.74]
But make no mistake, the single-player game isn't where SOCOM excels. The gameplay is linear and basically involves moving from one checkpoint to the next, with the strategy required being fairly minimal. It's more like a prolonged training mission for the real action found in the superb multiplayer mode. [PSW]
Control is crippled by the PSP's inherent lack of a second analog stick, so you won't be pulling off critical moves like circle-strafing.
The console and portable SOCOMs may look the same, but like the Olsen twins, they're different enough that you won't be satisfied with just one.

Accident involving 18-wheeler closes portion of Airline Drive in Metairie
Updated On: Oct 13 2013 02:46:00 PM CDT
Both directions of Airline Drive near Kent Avenue are closed due to an accident.
Raw video of the accident scene
Louisiana State Police says the accident happened late Sunday morning and involved an 18-wheeler.
The closure could last several hours, because the diesel must be siphoned out of the truck before it can be moved upright and out of the area, according to state police.
There were minor injuries and no fatalities in the accident, state police says.
No more information was immediately available.

"Bittersweet Is Everything"
Who will hear you
when you die inside
and shrivel up on
the same spot where you cried
Can anyone see you
or the pain within
but you put on a different face
and lift up your chin
Does anyone feel
the way that you do
you break your back
to do the job and then it's through
Does anyone stop
and smell the roses in bloom
and do the teachers still correct
the who's from the whom
Bittersweet is everything
or that's what you tell yourself
to lower your expectations
and put your emotions on a shelf
Living day to day
doing chore by chore
but every mess you clean up
just seems to lead to more
You look at yourself
in the mirror to see
what you look like on the outside
when you wonder what you could be
Who do you turn to
when your soul withers
is there an internal coat
when you feel your heart shiver
Consume the moments
of memorable happy pleasure
because you know they can't withstand
your mind's terrible weather
Because bittersweet is everything
oh now can you see
that in this life that you hold dear
only God plans what you'll be

Petitions of the nature described are surely insane?
Isn't there greater need to protect us from these sort of people? Can we lock them up?
Way to burst some New Agers' fetish bubbles.
Good news, this is improving India's international reputation massively and showing it is on the correct path to becoming a free country that respects human rights – still a long way to go but this is excellent. Well done, India.
how is men having sex comparable to animals? men can give consent, animals can't

Full meal at In the Red won't empty your wallet
You will definitely stay in the black if you head to In the Red Wine Bar & Café in the Phinney Ridge area of Seattle. The best deals are the $5 sandwich-and-soup/salad combos.
Seattle Times assistant sports editor
In the Red Wine Bar & CafeEclectic
6510 Phinney Ave. N., Seattle; 206-420-8992
Hours: 3 p.m.-midnight Monday-Thursday; 3 p.m.-1 a.m. Friday; 9 a.m.-1 a.m. Saturday; 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday. Kitchen closes at 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Etc: All major credit cards accepted; street parking; no obstacles to access; full bar.
Prices: $-$$
You will definitely stay in the black if you head to In the Red Wine Bar & Cafe in the Phinney Ridge area of Seattle.
Owners Brian Folino and Chad Campbell developed a menu and wine list that was simple and inexpensive, yet still filling and elegant.
"We wanted it to feel like it was happy hour all the time," Campbell said.
With a wine list that ranges from $5-$8 a glass and a menu with almost everything priced between $5-$8, your wallet will leave you feeling very happy.
The menu: New chef Nikki Presley's menu does have three entrees ($12-$19), but the best deals are the $5 sandwich-and-soup/salad combos. Pick between one whole or two half portions of a grilled panini sandwich (turkey breast, Black Forest ham or grilled veggies), soup of the day or a salad (tossed green, Caesar or beets and blue cheese). Throw in an appetizer if you need a little more and you've got yourself a full meal for $11-$13. It's also family friendly with a kids menu that includes chicken nuggets, grilled cheese and pizza for $5 each.
What to write home about: Two items that stood out on the appetizer menu were the bacon-wrapped dates, served on a bed of arugula, and goat cheese to dip them in, and the grilled pear and goat cheese bruschetta with a balsamic reduction.
The setting: A nice change from the stuffy, trendy wine bars of Belltown. It's not dark and chic; it's bright with warm colors and antique furniture.
Summing up: Two combos (grilled turkey breast panini with a cup of minestrone and Black Forest ham panini with a tossed green salad) for $5 each, along with four appetizers — blue cheese and fig jam bruschetta ($7), warm brie pastry puffs filled with a fruit compote ($8), grilled pear and goat cheese bruschetta ($7) and bacon-wrapped dates ($8) — came out to $44 plus tip and were more than enough to happily satisfy three people's appetites.

US sends nuclear-capable B-2 bombers to SKoreaMarch 28, 2013 @ 4:23 am
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The U.S military says two nuclear-capable B-2 bombers have completed a training mission in South Korea amid threats from North Korea that include nuclear strikes on Washington and Seoul.
The statement Thursday by U.S. Forces Korea is an unusual confirmation. It follows an earlier U.S. announcement that nuclear-capable B-52 bombers participated in ongoing U.S.-South Korean military drills.
The U.S. says the B-2 stealth bombers flew from a U.S. air base and dropped munitions on a South Korean island range before returning home.
The announcement will likely draw a strong response from Pyongyang. North Korea sees the military drills as part of a U.S. plot to invade and becomes particularly upset about U.S. nuclear activities in the region.
Washington and Seoul say they the annual drills are routine and defensive.
