– A mother and baby were tragically killed Thanksgiving night when their car hit a bear in northern California. KCRA 3 reports that Sarah Rohde, 27, was driving with her two children in Calaveras County after 6pm when her car struck the wild animal. Rohde and her 19-month-old daughter Ariana died. The bear was also killed in the accident. Per the Union Democrat, Rohde’s four-year-old son Julian survived the crash and was flown to University of Davis Medical Center by helicopter to treat minor injuries. “She was the best mom any child could ever ask for, and she was the best daughter,” said Rohde’s mother, Tracy Browning. “She was my rock, and I was her rock too.” An uptick in car accidents involving bears in the area has officials growing concerned. Calaveras Fish and Game Commissioner Ron Severud told KCRA 3, “The bear population is growing and I don’t see it stopping. There are going to be more wrecks.” (An Alaskan boy lived to tell the tale of a bear crashing through his bedroom window.)

Driver, 19-month-old girl, bear all died in crash on Highway 4 in Calaveras County Baby, mother killed when car crashes into bear near Angels Camp A mother and her baby were killed Thanksgiving night when their vehicle hit a bear on Highway 4 near Angels Camp, according to the Calaveras County coroner. Sarah Rohde, 27, was driving east of Angels Camp just after 6 p.m. Thursday when the crash happened. Advertisement Rohde and her 19-month-old daughter, Ariana, were killed in the crash, family members told KCRA. Rhode’s 4-year-old son, Julian, was also in the car. He survived the crash and was taken to UC Medical Center. The bear also died. Rohde’s family was at the crash scene Friday looking for answers. “She was the best mom any child could ever ask for, and she was the best daughter,” Rohde’s mother, Tracy Browning, said. “She was my rock, and I was her rock too.” Rohde worked for Tuolumne County as a extreme tour guide at Mercer Caverns in Murphys, her family said. “I’m having a hard time, questioning God about this. I really am,” Browning said. Family members hope to erect a roadside memorial to the lives lost. Those who keep track of bears in Calaveras County said that there are more incidents than ever involving bears on the roadways. “The bear population is growing and I don’t see it stopping. There are going to be more wrecks,” Calaveras Fish and Game Commissioner Ron Severud said. AlertMe ||||| A- A+ A black bear got on Highway 4 after sundown Thursday and a westbound car crashed into the animal, killing the 27-year-old woman driver, a 19-month-old girl and the bear. A 4-year-old boy in the car, also a resident of Copperopolis, sustained minor injuries and was flown by helicopter to the University of Davis, California, Medical Center, California Highway Patrol Officer John Fernandez said in a statement. Names of the three people involved in the crash were not released by law enforcement. Authorities were still trying to contact family of the deceased victims, Kevin Raggio, Calaveras County coroner, said Friday afternoon. The bear got on Highway 4 between Parrotts Ferry Road and Murphys about 6 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, west of Holiday Mine Road, Fernandez said. The woman was driving a 2002 Subaru Impreza west on Highway 4 at 55 to 60 miles per hour. The bear entered the road directly in the path of the Subaru, and the car struck the bear and killed it, Fernandez said. At the same time, “force of the impact with the bear caused major intrusion into the passenger compartment of the vehicle,” Fernandez said. “The driver and her 19-month-old passenger sustained fatal injuries as a result of the collisio Alcohol and drugs were not believed to be factors in the crash. Fernandez described conditions at the time of the crash as cloudy and dry. Sundown before the crash occurred was about 4:45 p.m. 18831596
– On the surface, it sounds great like a great gig: A 22-year-old New Zealander landed an internship with the UN and is now working in Geneva, where he wakes up with waterfront views. But then the details arrive, as relayed by the Local: David Hyde's six-month internship is unpaid, forcing him to live in a cheap tent near Lake Geneva. Other interns may have parents with deep pockets, but Hyde does not, and his predicament might raise pressure on the UN to end policies that result in most of its interns working without compensation in the expensive city. “I was perhaps naive in coming here but this policy (of not paying interns) makes me furious," Hyde tells the Tribune de Geneve newspaper, which picked up on his plight after a recent rainstorm. The Geneva Interns Association accuses the UN of exploiting its interns even while pushing for workplace equality around the world, and stories such as Hyde's will probably help the cause. As for that rainstorm: "I did not choose the most waterproof tent in the store." (The White House has been hit with similar complaints.)

Photo: The Local A 22-year-old New Zealand man hired as an unpaid intern by the United Nations in Geneva has been forced to live in a tent because he cannot afford the high cost of accommodation in the Swiss city. David Hyde has been sleeping on a patch of ground overlooking Lake Geneva not far from the the UN Beach Club, where well-heeled employees sunbathe, paddle in the water and sip aperitifs at the bar. Hyde's predicament caught the attention of the Tribune de Genève newspaper, which reported on how he struggled to deal with heavy rain from a storm on Sunday. Read the update to this story here: Unpaid intern at UN quits post “I did not choose the most waterproof tent in the store,” he admitted to the newspaper. The area where he pitched his tent was soaked and yet the morning after Hyde had to put on his suit, fold up his tent, pack up his gas stove and other meagre belongings and head off to his unpaid job. “How do the others do it?” he asked of the dozens of interns who take six-month positions at the UN without a salary. “Finally only those with parents who can pay have a chance.” Hyde resigned himself to living in a tent after searching for a room or studio to rent only to find the rents — in a city known to be one of the most expensive in the world — were beyond his means. Now, he is questioning whether he will be able to finish his internship. “I was perhaps naive in coming here but this policy (of not paying interns) makes me furious.” The Geneva Interns Association has been lobbying for the UN and related Geneva-based international organizations — including the International Labour Organization — to change its ways. The association organized a Labour Day march in May this year to draw attention to the non-payment issue and it has demonstrated in front of UNOG headquarters about how young people are being exploited by an organization that ought to be setting an example. It has pointed to the “inconsistency” of the UN, which promotes globally such values as non-discrimination, diversity and inclusiveness “but does not apply these to its own staff”. Making matters more difficult for interns who do not have financial backing, is a clause that bans them from working for the UN in the six months following their internships. The UN and its agencies in Geneva employ 162 interns annually, with each agency determining its own policy as to whether they are paid or not, Ahmad Fawzi, director of the UN information service told the Tribune de Genève. According to a survey conducted by the Geneva Interns Association, 68.5 percent of these interns were unpaid in 2013. Swiss federal labor regulations do not apply to the UN and its agencies. ||||| We've detected that JavaScript is disabled in your browser. Would you like to proceed to legacy Twitter? Yes
– The question in the title of Bachelor spinoff Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After? has been answered, and the answer is "No." Reality TV stars Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell, who got engaged during Season 20 of The Bachelor last year, have split up. "It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways," they said in a joint statement to People. "We feel fortunate for the time we had together, and will remain friends with much love and respect for one another." After meeting on The Bachelor—where Higgins told both finalists that he loved them—the couple moved to Denver, where the spinoff documented their lives and attempts to plan a wedding, which was eventually put on hold, the Hollywood Reporter notes. E! Online reports that there had been breakup rumors for months before the announcement, fueled by posts on social media. (Two female contestants on the Australian version of the show ended up dating each other instead of the bachelor.)

"It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways," said the ABC reality stars in a joint statement. Ben Higgins was not Lauren Bushnell's person after all. The Bachelor season 20 star and his winner have officially parted ways after getting engaged on national TV and wrapping their own Freeform spinoff, Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After?, in November. "It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways," the ABC reality stars — one of the most prominent success stories to come out of the show in recent years — revealed to People in a joint statement. "We feel fortunate for the time we had together, and will remain friends with much love and respect for one another. We wish nothing but the best for each other, and ask for your support and understanding at this time." Their cycle of the long-running dating series wrapped in March 2016, after Higgins told his final two contestants, Bushnell and Joelle Fletcher, that he was in love with both of them. Fletcher went on to star in her own season of The Bachelorette, while Higgins and his fiancee moved to Denver and documented their new cohabitation on the franchise's first Freeform spinoff, where plans of a wedding went back and forth and were ultimately put on hold. The experimental show lasted one season, followed by twins Emily and Haley Ferguson's go at it with Freeform's The Twins: Happily Ever After? Ahead of their Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After spinoff, the pair shared their concerns over returning to reality TV with The Hollywood Reporter. "Our main priority was that our relationship always comes first and if something does ever get in the way," explained Bushnell, "we'll have to have another conversation because that's something that neither of us are going to allow to happen." Love was still in the air between Higgins, 29, and Bushnell, 26, long enough to host the Freeform special Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings that aired earlier this month. The Bachelor franchise returns May 22 with the premiere of the The Bachelorette, starring Texan attorney Rachel Lindsay. The 13th season marks the first in the series' 33-season history to feature a black lead. ||||| News may have hit earlier today that engaged Bachelor stars Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell had split, but if you'd looked at their social media pages, the writing's been on the wall (or the post) for a while...

– It seems natural to reach for the remote to take a breather after a taxing day of conference calls and TPS reports, but a new study warns that especially work-weary folks who flick on the TV or play video games may feel incredibly guilty and like failures afterward, reports the Independent. Instead of letting the media do its ostensible job of mitigating any 9-to-5 stress, scientists found that certain “ego-depleted individuals” regard these activities as procrastination from more critical tasks and fault themselves for a lack of self-control. The German and Dutch researchers asked 471 subjects to talk about how they felt after their 9-to-5 toil the previous day, as well as what media they used to veg out, according to a post at Eureka Alert. Even though the study’s authors say that media has been shown in previous research to offer a “recovery experience” for stressed-out working stiffs, this survey seems to indicate the opposite: that worn-out workers who could probably use a decompression session of Orange Is the New Black the most end up feeling like the biggest losers because they think they should be reading Crime and Punishment or cleaning out the garage instead. “In times of smartphones and mobile Internet, the ubiquitous availability of content and communication often seems to be a burden and a stressor rather than a recovery resource,” says one of the co-authors.

Washington, DC (July 21, 2014) - It seems common practice. After a long day at work, sometimes you just want to turn on the TV or play a video game to relax, decompress. This is supposed to make you feel better. But, a recent study published in the Journal of Communication, by researchers at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany, and VU University Amsterdam, found that people who had high stress levels after work and engaged in television viewing or video game play didn't feel relaxed or recovered, but had high levels of guilt and feelings of failure. Leonard Reinecke (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) and Tilo Hartmann and Allison Eden, (VU University Amsterdam) surveyed 471 participants to think about the preceding day and report how they had felt after work and what media they had used. The researchers found that people who were particularly fatigued after work or school showed a higher tendency to feel that their media use was a form of procrastination. They felt that they succumbed to their desire of using media instead of taking care of more important tasks. As a result, they had a higher risk of feeling guilty about their media use. These feelings of guilt diminished the positive effects of media use and reduced recovery and vitality after media use. The results also suggest a paradoxical pattern between depletion and media-induced recovery: Those depleted individuals who could have benefitted the most from recovery through media use, instead experienced lower levels of recovery because they took their media use as a sign of their own self-control failure. Prior research has shown that the use of entertaining media produces a "recovery experience", that helps us to psychologically detach from work stress and relax, but also provides mastery experience (e.g., when you beat a computer game or watch a thought-provoking movie) and a feeling of control during leisure time. As a result, people feel energized and more vital after media use and even show stronger cognitive performance thanks to media-induced recovery. "We are beginning to better understand that media use can have beneficial effects for people's well-being, through media-induced recovery. Our present study is an important step towards a deeper understanding of this. It demonstrates that in the real life, the relationship between media use and well-being is complicated and that the use of media may conflict with other, less pleasurable but more important duties and goals in everyday life," said Reinecke. "We are starting to look at media use as a cause of depletion. In times of smartphones and mobile Internet, the ubiquitous availability of content and communication often seems to be a burden and a stressor rather than a recovery resource." ### "The Guilty Couch Potato: The Role of Ego Depletion in Reducing Recovery Through Media Use," by Leonard Reinecke, Tilo Hartmann and Allison Eden; Journal of Communication Contact: To schedule an interview with the author or a copy of the research, please contact John Paul Gutierrez, [email protected].

– A tourist's video shows SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau playing in the water with the whale moments before the fatal attack. In the nearly 7-minute video posted by Orlando station WESH-TV, a smiling Brancheau is seen in the water up to her shoulders, right by the whale, at about the 6:40 mark. Prior to that, she had been feeding him fish and dousing him with water following a show. See the video here. (It cuts off before the whale grabs her.) The video conflicts with earlier accounts by officials that she slipped in or that the whale jumped up and pulled her into the water, notes the Daily News. It also goes against the notion that trainers never entered the water with that particular whale because of its history of aggression.

SeaWorld will spare life of killer whale Tilikum, despite death of Dawn Brancheau and two others Still from WESH.com video The six-minute video shot Wednesday shows Brancheau feeding and playing with the six-ton Tilikum, the largest and oldest killer whale in captivity. The killer whale who playfully grabbed a trainer's ponytail and drowned her before a horrified crowd at SeaWorld Wednesday will not be put down, officials said. "We will continue to care for the animal as we always have," Orlando's SeaWorld said in a statement yesterday. The park decided to spare the whale's life even though Tilikum, the largest and oldest killer whale in captivity, had killed twice before. "We are reviewing our protocol on the proximity of our employees and Tilikum," the marine park said. "We have every intention of continuing to interact with this animal, though the procedures for working with him will change." Trainer Dawn Brancheau was in the water up to her shoulders, frolicking with Tilikum, seconds before he grabbed her hair and dragged her under, according to a tourist's video of the tragedy. Police previously had said Brancheau slipped and fell into the tank with Tilikum, and witnesses had recounted dramatic scenarios in which the orca jumped out of the water and grabbed the trainer. And SeaWorld had said trainers never got into the water with the 30-year-old, 6-ton Tilikum because he did not know his own strength and had accidentally killed a trainer in 1991. The video proves them all wrong. It shows Brancheau feeding the whale fish, rubbing his nose, pouring buckets of water on his snout and then smilingly getting into the water with him. "He had done an entire show sequence where he performed and he did really well. Dawn was rubbing him down and interacting with him and rewarding him for doing such a good job," SeaWorld curator Chuck Tompkins told CBS' "The Early Show." "There wasn't anything to indicate to us that there was a problem," he said. An autopsy found that Brancheau, 40, one of the most experienced trainers at SeaWorld, died of drowning and multiple trauma. Her body was not recovered from the whale's jaws until staff members coaxed him into a smaller pool and lifted him out of the water on a platform, officials said. Animal advocates called on SeaWorld to end shows that require dolphins and whales - intelligent mammals with strong social urges - to perform tricks in small tanks. The water shows could be replaced with virtual reality marine extravaganzas, they said. "The death of yet another trainer at SeaWorld did not have to happen, and I must appeal to you to take strong action now so that it never happens again," longtime TV game show host Bob Barker wrote on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

A driver was rescued Tuesday morning after plummeting more than 70 feet down the side of a cliff in the Angeles National Forest. Emergency crews received a call just before 3 a.m. about a car that went over the side of Mt. Baldy Road somewhere between tunnel one and tunnel two, Los Angeles County Fire Department Supervisor Michael Pittman said. Rescuers responded and found the vehicle about 74 feet down the side of a cliff, Pittman said. Crews managed to get to the crash site and pull the victim, an unidentified man, up. He was then airlifted to a hospital in unknown condition, Pittman said. It was unclear how long the man had been down the cliff before rescuers arrived. Temperatures in the area were in the upper 20s and low 30s overnight. KTLA’s Stephen Acosta contributed to this report. ||||| A 26-year-old man was rescued after his car went off the side of Mt.

Baldy Road had been stuck inside the vehicle for two days before he was rescued early Wednesday morning. California Highway Patrol officers were notified about a vehicle off the side of a road and discovered a white truck on its side with a man who was conscious and breathing inside of it, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Batallion Chief Mark Toldert. The man had been reported missing two days before, Toldert said. It is unknown how his truck landed off the road. The Los Angeles County Fire Department was able to remove the man from the truck by 4 a.m., according to the CHP. He suffered only a compound fracture to his ankle and was airlifted to the hospital, Toldert said. ||||| A 26-year-old man who was trapped in his pickup truck for two days after his vehicle swerved off a road was rescued in the Angeles National Forest near Mt.

we show how to transform a dirac equation in curved spacetime into a dirac equation in flat spacetime . in particular , we show that any solution of the free massless dirac equation in a 1 + 1 dimensional flat spacetime can be transformed via a local phase transformation into a solution of the corresponding dirac equation in a curved background , where the spacetime metric is encoded into the phase . in this way , the existing quantum simulators of the dirac equation can naturally incorporate curved spacetimes . as a first example we use our technique to obtain solutions of the dirac equation in a particular family of interesting spacetimes in 1 + 1 dimensions . the growing interest in quantum simulators is not restricted to their potential role as non - universal post - classical computers . they are also powerful tools to explore open problems in the frontiers of theoretical physics and even to pose questions beyond them . along these lines , quantum simulators of relativistic quantum mechanical dynamics have received much attention in the last years . originally intended as a fundamental description of fermionic elementary particles , relativistic quantum mechanics is considered nowadays as a single - particle approximation to quantum field theory . thus it is an accurate description of fermionic particles in the low - energy regime below the pair - creation energy threshold . thanks to cutting - edge quantum simulators , several hitherto unobserved aspects of the dirac ( _ zitterbewegung _ , klein paradox etc.@xcite ) and majorana ( antiunitary transformations , exotic dynamics etc . @xcite ) equations in 1 + 1 dimensions have been implemented in the laboratory in the most advanced quantum platforms , such as trapped ions @xcite , optical waveguide arrays @xcite or cold atoms @xcite , while theoretical proposals with superconducting circuit architectures are also available @xcite . recently , a theoretical proposal for a quantum simulator of the dirac equation in curved 1 + 1 dimensional spacetimes by means of coupled waveguide arrays has been introduced @xcite , extending the interest in relativistic quantum mechanical simulators beyond the realm of flat - spacetime physics . this equation can be seen as a single - particle approximation to quantum field theory in curved spacetime , which in turn is itself regarded as a sound intermediate step to the final theory of quantum gravity , operating in a regime where backreaction effects from the spacetime are neglected . in this work , we show how to transform a dirac equation in curved spacetime into a dirac equation in flat spacetime . in particular , we show that any solution of a free massless dirac equation in 1 + 1 dimensions can be transformed into a solution of the same equation in curved spacetime , for a broad generic class of spacetime metrics . this transformation is just a local phase , which carries the information of the particular spacetime metric being considered . thus , all the aforementioned multiplatform quantum simulators - which are able to reproduce a free massless 1 + 1 dirac equation- are immediately able to analyse curved spacetime metrics as well , without the need of actually simulating a new hamiltonian . instead , the new physics can be obtained by applying our transformation technique to the solutions of the corresponding flat - spacetime hamiltonian . as an example of interest , we show how to apply our technique to a family of 1 + 1 dimensional spacetimes containing traversable wormholes . although it seems that these objects do not appear naturally in our universe @xcite , wormholes lie at the edge of theoretical physics and defy our understanding of key physical principles , such as causality . for these reasons , they have always attracted much attention from a foundational and pedagogical viewpoint @xcite and they are the subject of current intense research @xcite , including possible simulations @xcite . we use our technique to obtain for the first time analytical solutions of the dirac equation in the presence of a traversable wormhole , by applying a local phase transformation to a wavepacket solution of the corresponding flat spacetime equation . in this way , we are able to see how the probability density of a dirac particle is distorted by the presence of a wormhole , and specifically when traversing its throat . the same techniques can be applied to numerical solutions or to the experimental data collected in real quantum simulators , adding an extra element to the toolbox of quantum simulators of relativistic quantum mechanics . extensions to other 1 + 1 spacetimes of interest would be straightforward . we will start the description of our results by considering the following free dirac equation in the background of a curved spacetime in 1 + 1 dimensions , using natural units ( @xmath0 ) @xcite : @xmath1 where @xmath2 and @xmath3 denote time and space partial derivatives respectively , and @xmath4 are pauli matrices : @xmath5 here @xmath6 carries all the information of the spacetime background , since in 1 + 1 dimensions the spacetime metric can always be brought to the generic form : @xmath7 eq . ( [ eq : diraccurve ] ) corresponds to a particular representation of the dirac matrices @xmath8 , in which they take the form : @xmath9 the details on the derivation can be found for instance in @xcite . now , let us assume a massless field @xmath10 and also a static spacetime @xmath11 . then eq . ( [ eq : diraccurve ] ) can be rewritten as : @xmath12 where all the effect of the background metric is captured by the effective non - hermitian potential : @xmath13 now , we will exploit a technique first introduced in @xcite in order to transform dirac equations including potentials into free equations . let us consider the local phase transformation : @xmath14 introducing eq . ( [ eq : transformation ] ) into eq . ( [ eq : diraccurve2 ] ) , we see that an extra term coming from the spatial derivative cancels out the effective potential , yielding the following equation for @xmath15 : @xmath16 which is a free massless dirac equation in a 1 + 1 dimensional flat spacetime . therefore , any solution of the free flat - spacetime dirac equation can be converted into a solution of the dirac equation in curved spacetime by means of a local phase transformation . of course , this does not amount to say that both dynamics are equivalent- otherwise , the effect of the spacetime would be trivial . indeed , since @xmath17 is an imaginary potential , the local phase is real and the probability densities for @xmath18 and @xmath15 are different . in particular , by combining eqs . ( [ eq : potential ] ) and ( [ eq : transformation ] ) we find : @xmath19 where the shape function @xmath20 is a function of the radius @xmath21 only . there is a singular point of @xmath21 at which @xmath22 , which determines the position of the wormhole s throat and defines two different universes or two asymptotically flat regions within the same universe -as @xmath21 goes from @xmath23 to @xmath24 and then back from @xmath24 to @xmath23 . the properties of the wormhole will depend on the form of the shape function @xmath20 . of particular interest is the following family of wormholes @xcite : @xmath25 it is shown in @xcite that this family of spacetimes is totally equivalent to the following one : @xmath26 which are spacetimes in which the speed of light depends on the radius @xmath21 according to : @xmath27 . we can also introduce a new coordinate @xmath28 where @xmath29 and @xmath30 correspond to the two different regions at both sides of the throat . this brings finally the spacetime metric to the form : @xmath31 we can thus exploit our technique by noticing -using eq . ( [ eq : metric])- that : @xmath32 then , we find that : @xmath33 thus the dirac equation in 1 + 1 dimensions of a massless particle in a spacetime containing a traversable wormhole is given by a equation of the form eq . ( [ eq : diraccurve2 ] ) where the non - hermitian potential is : @xmath34 notice that in the singularity at @xmath35 , the equation is not well - defined , due to the fact that @xmath36 . however , we can analyze this equation at both sides of the wormhole s throat . finally , we obtain : @xmath37 thus using our results above , we find that any solution of the free 1 + 1 dimensional massless dirac equation can be transformed into a solution of the dirac equation in a spacetime containing a traversable wormhole by means of a suitable local phase transformation , which using eq . ( [ eq : densities ] ) takes the particular form for the probability densities : @xmath38 of the free massless 1 + 1 dimensional dirac equation in flat spacetime -like the ones that are implemented , for instance in trapped - ion simulators @xcite . these can be obtained from an initial wavepacket @xmath39 by @xcite : @xmath40 where @xmath41 and @xmath42 are the positive and negative parts respectively of the fourier transform @xmath43 of the initial wavepacket and @xmath44 , @xmath45 are positive and negative - energy plane - wave solutions respectively . @xmath46 and @xmath47 are obtained via the inner products @xmath48 . in the massless case , the spinors @xmath49 and @xmath50 take a particularly convenient form @xmath51 . in particular , choosing an initial gaussian wavepacket centered around @xmath52 with width @xmath53 : @xmath54 -where @xmath55 is a normalization constant @xmath56- we find the following wavepacket solution to the free equation : @xmath57 in fig . [ fig : plots ] we plot both the free wave packet probability density dynamics in flat spacetime given by the @xmath58 in eq . ( [ eq : evolvwavepack ] ) and the corresponding curved spacetime probability density obtained via eq . ( [ eq : probabilitieswh ] ) for different values of the initial position @xmath52 . we see that if the wavepacket is initially at the left side of the throat ( @xmath59 ) the dirac particle is able to go through the wormhole , in such a way that the probability density is intensely focused around the throat . on the other hand , if the wavepacket is initially centered around an initial position at the right side of the wormhole throat ( @xmath60 ) , we see that the the probability density gets distorted with an intensity proportional to the initial distance to the throat . in this way we are finding for the first time analytical solutions of the dynamics of dirac particles in a spacetime containing a traversable wormhole . perhaps more importantly , our technique can be applied in a straightforward fashion to obtain solutions of the dirac equation in a wormhole background out of numerical solutions of the free dirac equation in flat spacetime and out of the experimental data obtained from the various multiplatform quantum simulators of the dirac equation -without the need of engineering extra terns in the hamiltonian . in summary , we have shown how to transform a 1 + 1 d dirac equation in curved spacetime into a flat - spacetime one . the technique consists in applying a suitable local phase transformation to solutions of the flat - spacetime equation . the phase depends on the particular spacetime considered . we show that the dynamics of the transformed dirac spinor under the full equation - which includes the non - hermitian potential introduced by the curved spacetime metric- can be obtained from the dynamics of the original flat - spacetime solution . in this way , we encode a curved spacetime into a phase . as a first example of what can be done with our technique , we consider a particular case of interest -a family of 1 + 1 d spacetimes containing a traversable wormhole . in this way , we obtain analytical solutions of the dynamics of a dirac particle going through a wormhole . moreover , any available quantum simulator of the dirac equation would be immediately able to incorporate the analysis of curved spacetimes into the simulation by means of our technique , without the need of implementing extra terms in the hamiltonian . thus we expect that our results will be useful for the multidisciplinary community interested in the quantum simulation of relativstic quantum mechanics .

– Experts say one of the biggest icebergs in recorded history—it would be about the size of Delaware—is "very close" to separating from Antarctica, USA Today reports. According to the BBC, a 124-mile-long crack on the Larsen C Ice Shelf grew more than 10 miles over just six days to end the month of May. The crack, which had been running parallel to the edge of the ice shelf, also took a right turn toward the shelf's edge, CNN reports. The crack is now only eight miles from the edge of the shelf, and it appears there's nothing left stopping a major chunk of the shelf from calving free. When the iceberg does split off, it will take 10% of the Larsen C Ice Shelf with it. The iceberg will be more than 1,900 square miles in size and 1,150 feet thick, Gizmodo reports. The loss will make Larsen C less stable, and one researcher says the entire shelf could fall apart "in a day or two." The Larsen A and Larsen B ice shelves already broke up after similar events in past years. The loss of the ice shelf can increase the speed of glaciers flowing from the land to the ocean and therefore the speed of rising sea levels. Researchers are also concerned that larger and larger ice shelves appear to be breaking up. (What it looks like when a glacier calves an iceberg.)

(CNN) A rift in an Antarctic ice shelf will soon create one of the largest icebergs ever recorded, according to scientists. In the last six days, the rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf has grown by 17 kilometers (10.5 miles). It is now 13 kilometers (8 miles) from the edge of the ice. Until recently, the rift was running parallel to the edge of the ice shelf, but its direction has now changed. "The rift tip appears to have turned significantly towards the ice front, indicating that the time of calving (breaking away) is probably very close," said Adrian Luckman, lead researcher in UK-based research team Project MIDAS, which has been monitoring the ice shelf since 2014, in a statement. A 70 mile rift in the Larsen C is seen on November 10, 2016. "There appears to be very little to prevent the iceberg from breaking away completely," he said. Read More ||||| In a dramatic development, the giant rift in the Larsen C ice shelf has grown an additional 11 miles (17 km) since last week, and the leading tip of the crack is now exceptionally close to the ocean. There’s now very little to prevent a complete collapse—an event that will produce one of the largest icebergs in recorded history. As documented by scientists at Project MIDAS, a mere eight miles (13 km) now separates the leading tip of the 88-mile-long crack and the ice front. Between May 25 and May 31, the rift grew an additional 11 miles (17 km), marking its biggest advance since January. What’s more, the rift has taken a sharp turn towards the ocean, and it has breached a zone of soft “suture” ice near the Cole Peninsula. As noted by Project MIDAS, “there appears to be very little to prevent the iceberg from breaking away completely.” Advertisement Scientists have been monitoring the crack in Larsen C for several years, but the rift experienced a major growth spurt this past December when it lengthened by 12 miles (20 km). The 300-foot-wide crack advanced an additional six miles (10 km) in January, and earlier this month a second crack appeared at the leading edge. It’s the tip of this second crack that’s now headed straight for the ocean. When it calves, the Larsen C Ice Shelf will lose more than 10 percent of its total surface area. The resulting iceberg will feature an area around 2,300 square miles (6,000 square kilometers), and measure 1,150 feet (350 meters) thick. If the shelf calves without breaking, it’ll be the size of Trinidad and Tobago, or twice the size of Rhode Island, and be among the largest icebergs ever recorded. Advertisement Back in 2000, a 4,200 square mile (11,000 square km) chunk of ice dubbed B-15 emerged from Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf, and in 1998, a 2,664 (6,900 square km) iceberg called A-38 broke free from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf. While calving events are a natural process on ice shelves, the big ones like this are an dramatic sight to behold. [Project MIDAS]

the sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy ( sgr dsph ) is currently disrupting under the strain of the milky way ( mw ) tidal field .the study of the sgr chemical composition allows us to study at the same time the star formation history of a dwarf galaxy and the relevance of the hierarchical merging process for the formation of large galaxies such as the mw . in may 2003, we obtained spectra for 24 sgr stars using the high resolution spectrograph flames - uves@vlt .the target selection has been performed using the 2mass infrared photometry ( see , e.g. , @xcite ) where the sgr red giant branch stands out very clearly from the contaminating mw field . in this way we selected stars belonging to the sgr dominant population near the rgb - tip .such a selection turned out to be very efficient : 23 out of 24 stars are sgr radial velocity members .up to date we derived the iron abundance for 22 stars and alpha element abundance ratios ( mg , ca ) for 20 stars of the sample .temperatures have been derived from the ( v - i ) color using the calibration of @xcite and e(b - v)=0.14 @xcite .gravities were determined superposing theoretical isochrones @xcite to the observed optical color magnitude diagram while microturbolent velocities have been derived minimizing the dependence of the derived abundance from the measured equivalent width .a model atmosphere has been computed for each star using the atlas 9 code .equivalent widths have been measured by using the standard iraf task splot and , finally , abundances were determined using the width code . as can be seen from the metallicity distribution ( see fig .[ eps1 ] , upper panel ) , the mean metallicity of the sgr dominant population is @xmath1[fe / h]@[email protected] , in excellent agreement with the results derived in @xcite from the magnitude of the rgb - bump and the shape of the red giant branch .a component extending towards lower metallicities is also present. the @xmath0 element abundance ratio ( see fig .[ eps1 ] , bottom panel ) is slightly subsolar , @xmath1[@xmath0/fe]@[email protected] , in agreement with @xcite and , apart from a small offset , also with @xcite .alonso a. , arribas s. , martnez - roger c. , 1999 , a&as , 140 , 261 bonifacio p. , sbordone l. , marconi g. , pasquini l. , hill v. , 2004 , a&a , 414 , 503 girardi l. , bertelli g. , bressan a. , chiosi c. , groenewegen m. a. t. , marigo p. , salasnich b. , weiss a. , 2002 , a&a , 391 , 195 layden , a.c ., & sarajedini , a. , 2000 , aj , 119 , 1760 ( ls00 ) monaco l. , ferraro , f.r . , bellazzini , m. , pancino , e. , 2002 , apj , 578 , l47 monaco l. , bellazzini , m. , ferraro , f.r, pancino , e. , 2004 , mnras , 353 , 874 smecker - hane & mcwilliam , 2002 , apj submitted , astro - ph/0205411
– Ugly Britons can now date other beauty-challenged partners on the UK's first dating site exclusively for them. TheUglyBugBall.co.uk already had 1,500 unattractive types looking to hook up with someone similar. The site claims to "deal in reality," offering helpful charts and anecdotes on ugly people and their experiences with conventional dating sites. But is it healthy to group a bunch of self-selecting "uglies" into an online site? Click here to read more from the Frisky on the moral problems with the Ugly Bug Ball.

Welcome to Reality Internet dating is more popular that it’s ever been with singles all over the world logging on to find the love of their life. But aren’t you sick of all the twee lovey dovey dating sites that show perfectly pretty people walking hand in hand on a wind swept beach? We know it never turns out like that - at TUBB we deal in reality. If you are one of the millions of people that don't like what they see in the mirror, then this is the place for you! ||||| Talk about a niche dating site. TheUglyBugBall.co.uk launched on Monday as the first online dating site only for ugly people in the U.K. It claims to “deal in reality,” is free to join and filled with 1,500 unattractive people who want to, um, bump uglies. First of all, that’s the best name for a website ever. Second of all, founder Howard James’ quote is the funniest ever: “It’s a sad fact that up to half of the UK is made up of ugly people yet amazingly nobody has ever thought of providing a dating service for them.” The rules are strict: attractive singletons are not allowed! But isn’t a dating site for “the aesthetically challenged” kind of ... wrong? True, they are a self-selecting group, who willingly put themselves on there. And I suppose some singletons would feel like it’s easier to date among a pool where everyone has lowered expectations about physical appearances. I’m troubled, though, because “ugliness” and “attractiveness” are so subjective. The idea that some people may define themselves as being “ugly,” if they’re not really at peace with it (i.e., not embracing it in the empowering way some people have embraced slurs like “gay” or “slut”), seems exploitative. Why would society want to encourage people to identify themselves like that? The site itself makes a lot of downright untrue — not to mention cruel — assumptions about “ugly” people. Try: “Ugly people are a better calibre of human—pretty people generally aren’t very nice and are often a bit shallow.” And: “Ugly people have had a tougher life and therefore tend to be more considerate and more loyal. A recent survey [on the site] also proved that they try harder in bed.” And this gem: “Ugly people have lower expectations – for a first date a Family Bucket will usually do the trick.” So guys, don’t bother wooing an “ugly” woman or treating her like she’s a human being! Just buy her a bucket of fried chicken and she’ll be grateful. Gross. There’s also the question of how “ugly” do you have to be to join. What are the qualifiers? Weight? The size of your nose? Facial deformities? Skin color? It seems to me this would just contribute to sizeism, racism, ableism, etc. Even if it’s a self-selecting group who joins, it saddens me that the online dating pools — which can already be a vicious meat market — are further subdividing in a way that doesn’t challenge notions of beauty. Clearly, it’s a hot-button topic. What do y’all think? [The Sun]

– President Trump on Tuesday accused Google of suppressing conservative views in search results, and the tech giant has responded. It's just not so, says a company statement sent to Business Insider. "Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology," says the statement, which adds that Google is constantly tweaking its algorithms in order to return "high-quality content" when its users search. "We never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment." Related coverage: What now? Asked whether the White House feels that some kind of regulation is necessary for Google, economic adviser Larry Kudlow didn't rule out the possibility. "We'll let you know. We're taking a look at it," he told reporters, per Politico. The source: As previously noted, Trump's accusatory tweets echoed a post at the conservative PJ Media blog. Read it here. The site conducted its own unscientific experiment and concluded that 96% of results for "Trump" news come from "left-leaning and anti-Trump media outlets." Examples of those sites were CBS News, USA Today, Politico, and CNN. It said right-leaning sites were poorly represented, including the National Review, the Weekly Standard, and Breitbart. Exceptions it cited include Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Getty Google has responded to two tweets President Donald Trump sent early Tuesday accusing the company of intentionally "silencing the voices of conservatives and hiding information and news that is good" with its search results. "Search is not used to set a political agenda, and we don't bias our results toward any political ideology," Google told Business Insider in a statement, adding that it prioritized relevancy and quality. Trump, appearing to cite a figure from an unscientific study carried out by a conservative opinion blog, claimed that 96% of Google's search results of his name were "from National Left-Wing Media," calling it a "very serious situation" that "will be addressed." He did not explain how the government might act on the issue. Here are Trump's tweets in full (which were deleted and reposted later Tuesday with "Fake New Media" changed to "Fake News Media"): "Google search results for 'Trump News' shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of results on 'Trump News' are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!" PJMedia recently counted Trump-related search results and found that 96% of the most visible news articles were from publications that PJMedia found to skew liberal. Here is Google's full statement: ||||| Is Google manipulating its algorithm to prioritize left-leaning news outlets in their coverage of President Trump? It sure looks that way based on recent search results for news on the president. Conservatives and Trump supporters have for the last several years questioned whether Google was deprioritizing conservative news sites, hiding them from users who utilize their search engine. Google has maintained that all outlets are treated fairly, but nevertheless, conservative sites have reported reduced search traffic and, in the case of Google-owned YouTube, content creators have been banned and demonetized. Google's high-profile firing of conservative James Damore, purportedly over his conservative political views, only reinforces the idea that Google is picking winners and losers. To test the premise, I performed a Google search for "Trump" using the search engine's "News" tab and analyzed the results using Sharyl Attkisson's media bias chart. I expected to see some skewing of the results based on my extensive experience with Google, but I was not prepared for the blatant prioritization of left-leaning and anti-Trump media outlets. Looking at the first page of search results, I discovered that CNN was the big winner, scoring two of the first ten results. Other left-leaning sites that appeared on the first page were CBS, The Atlantic, CNBC, The New Yorker, Politico, Reuters, and USA Today (the last two outlets on this list could arguably be considered more centrist than the others). Not a single right-leaning site appeared on the first page of search results.
– If your plan for evading the police involves phoning in a bomb threat, you might want to make sure you turn off caller ID before making said threat. Jacob R. Moore of Idaho apparently forgot that little detail Friday before allegedly calling in a threat about Atlas Elementary School in Hayden, making the fugitive pretty easy for cops to pick up, KXLY reports. The North Idaho Violent Crimes Task Force was staking out Moore's house, preparing to arrest him on unrelated felony charges, when the threat was called in to the school, KREM 2 reports. As the school was evacuated and law enforcement did a sweep—and found nothing dangerous—authorities traced the caller ID to the very home the task force was observing. Authorities think Moore called in the threat to take attention away from the home, allowing him an escape route; instead, when they traced the number to the house, officers arrested him as planned. Along with the unrelated charge for which he was initially wanted, Moore, 25, faces charges of making a false bomb report at a school, obstructing an officer, and drug paraphernalia possession.

Jacob Moore (Photo: KREM.com) HAYDEN, Idaho—Atlas Elementary students returned to class around 2:30 p.m. Friday following a bomb threat. Authorities arrested the suspect, Jacob R. Moore, Friday afternoon. Law enforcement at the scene said his caller ID matched up with the person who called the school. Detectives confirmed they were already waiting outside Moore's house when he made the call. Authorities were waiting to serve him with a warrant. Detectives believed the suspect, 25, made the call to divert authorities from him. The public information officer with the Coeur d'Alene School District said the office staff at Atlas received the threat. Authorities said Moore called, claimed there was a bomb in the building and told staff to get the kids out. Students and staff were immediately evacuated to the nearby Panhandle Health District officers. The PIO said the offices were on lockdown so nobody can come into or leave the building where the students are being held. All of the students are accounted for according to District staff. Notifications were issued through the emergency alert system to parents. Authorities checked the inside and outside of the school. No bomb was found. Moore faces felony charges for the bomb threat.

Friday afternoon a bomb threat was called in to Atlas Elementary School in Hayden. Students and staff were promptly evacuated from the campus and taken to the nearby Panhandle Health District while local law enforcement officers from the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, Coeur d'Alene Police Department and Idaho State Police responded to the scene along with crews from Northern Lakes Fire. The interior and exterior of the school was swept, no device was found, so the elementary was cleared and students and staff were allowed back on campus. Meanwhile, authorities were zeroing in on the suspect who, as it turned out, they were already looking for. The North Idaho Violent Crimes Task Force was staking out a residence where they were preparing to execute a warrant to arrest fugitive Jacob Moore. When the bomb threat was called in, the caller ID was traced back to a phone line at the same home the task force was observing for signs of Moore. Kootenai County sheriff's Lt. Stu Miller said authorities believe Moore called in the phony bomb threat in order to divert attention from his home so he could make his escape but didn't realize his phone number showed up when the threat was made. However, since they had the number traced back to his home, officers went ahead and arrested him. Moore, 25, was arrested on the unrelated felony charge he was wanted for along with fresh charges for Making a False Report of a Bomb at a School, Obstructing an Officer and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
– Bill Cosby seems to be stepping out in public again. The 80-year-old comic appeared Monday at the LaRose Jazz Club in Philadelphia and performed an informal set, reports USA Today. The story notes that one of those in attendance was NPR reporter Bobby Allyn, who tweeted a short video clip of Cosby, seated as he spoke to the audience. Philadelphia is Cosby's hometown, and the AP notes that Cosby's social media accounts showed him visiting a barber and a cafe over the weekend, and sporting gear to support the Super Bowl-bound Philadelphia Eagles. All of this, of course, comes ahead of Cosby's April trial on charges that he drugged and molested a woman at his home in 2004. She is one of dozens who have accused Cosby of a similar attack. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and jury selection in the second trial is scheduled to begin in late March. (Cosby also made reference to the MeToo movement while out recently at a Philly restaurant.)

Jury selection for Cosby’s criminal... (Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bill Cosby has performed in public for the first time since a sex abuse scandal embroiled him in 2015, telling stories and honoring old friends in his hometown on Monday as a retrial looms in his criminal sexual assault case. The 80-year-old entertainer took the stage Monday night at a Philadelphia jazz club for his first show since May 2015. His last comedy tour ended amid protests as about 60 women were coming forward to accuse him of drugging and molesting them over five decades, something he has denied. Cosby arrived at the club on the arm of his spokesman Andrew Wyatt. He wore a gray hoodie printed with the phrase "Hello Friend," something his late son, Ennis Cosby, often would say. Cosby is scheduled for an April 2 retrial on charges he drugged and molested a woman at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He has pleaded not guilty and remains free on bail. His first trial ended with a hung jury last year. Jury selection for his retrial will start March 29. Cosby's spokesman notified reporters of the comedy performance about two hours before he was to take the stage at the LaRose Jazz Club. The show was part of a program honoring jazz musician Tony Williams. The performance is Cosby's latest step back into the spotlight he's mostly shied from since his December 2015 arrest. Two weeks ago, Cosby invited reporters to tag along as he ate dinner with old friends at a Philadelphia restaurant. Over the weekend, Cosby's social media accounts featured photos of him visiting a barber and a cafe in the area and showing support for the Philadelphia Eagles, who won Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Minnesota Vikings and secured a spot in the Super Bowl. ___ This story has been corrected to show the arrest was in 2015, not 2005. ||||| Bill Cosby, sitting on a stool in a hoodie at a Philly jazz club, telling stories and working the crowd.

it is observed that @xmath0 in a+a and possibly p+p and @xmath1+p collisions follows interesting systematics in @xmath2 , the pion transverse energy per unit of rapidity and transverse overlap area . the systematics show a linear increase of @xmath0 with @xmath2 in the ags and sps energy regime and a saturation at rhic energy . the systematics indicate that @xmath2 might be the relevant variable underlying @xmath0 . at high energy , the @xmath2 variable is related to the gluon saturation scale in high density qcd , and perhaps to the initial energy density in the bjorken picture . lattice qcd predicts that at sufficiently high energy density matter should be in a state of deconfined quarks and gluons @xcite . it has been suggested long ago @xcite that strangeness production is a sensitive probe to such a deconfined state . one of the common observables to search for strangeness enhancement is the @xmath3 ratio . strangeness production and @xmath4 have been intensively studied in heavy - ion collisions at the ags @xcite , sps @xcite , and rhic @xcite . figure [ kpi_roots ] compiles @xmath4 in central heavy - ion ( a+a ) collisions @xcite as a function of the collision energy , @xmath5 . @xmath0 steadily increases with @xmath5 , while @xmath6 sharply increases at low energies . the addition of the rhic @xmath6 measurement clearly demonstrates that @xmath6 drops at high energies . a maximum @xmath6 value is reached at about @xmath7 gev . this behavior of @xmath6 lies in the net - baryon density which changes significantly with @xmath5 , as noted previously @xcite . it is instructive to consider the two possible kaon production mechanisms : pair production of @xmath8 and @xmath9 which is sensitive to @xmath5 , and associated production of @xmath8 ( @xmath9 ) with a hyperon ( antihyperon ) which is sensitive to the net - baryon density . in other words , a maximum in @xmath6 results from a dropping net - baryon density with energy and an increasing production rate . for comparison , fig . [ kpi_roots ] also shows data from p+p @xcite and @xmath1+p @xcite . enhancement in @xmath0 from elementary p+p to a+a collisions is about a factor of 2 and is similar at the sps and rhic , while that in @xmath6 is larger at lower energies due to the large net - baryon density in a+a . as @xmath6 is complicated by the net - baryon density , the rest of the paper will focus on @xmath0 . experiments at the ags and sps have studied the centrality dependence of kaon production in a+a . figure [ kmpi_npart ] shows @xmath0 as a function of the number of participants , @xmath10 . @xmath0 increases with @xmath10 within the same collision system , however , differs in different systems at the same value of @xmath10 , indicating that @xmath10 is not an appropriate variable to describe @xmath0 . this has been noted and emphasized before @xcite . as demonstrated thus far , @xmath0 depends on both the collision energy and centrality . to identify the possible underlying physics is the goal of the present study . to this end , we first note that strangeness production may be enhanced due to the fast and energetically favorable process of gluon - gluon fusion into strange quark - antiquark pairs , and therefore may be sensitive to the initial gluon density . at high energies , the bulk of mid - rapidity hadrons are products of gluons of transverse momentum @xmath11@xmath121 gev/@xmath13 in a pseudo - rapidity range @xmath14@xmath121 @xcite ( i.e. @xmath15 ) . from heisenberg uncertainty principle , these gluons occupy a longitudinal size of @xmath16 fm , which is larger than the lorentz contracted nucleus size at rhic energy . each gluon therefore sees all the nucleons in the longitudinal direction ( they overlap longitudinally ) ; the relevant quantity should be the gluon transverse area density @xcite . when the gluon density , @xmath17 , at bjorken @xmath18 is large such that gluons overlap in a volume of the gluon transverse size , @xmath19 , the gluons will recombine populating the large @xmath11 region , resulting in a saturation of gluon density with @xmath20 . the saturation scale @xmath21 , based on the above uncertainty principle argument , is @xmath22 , where @xmath23 is the transverse overlap area of the colliding nuclei . that derived from qcd @xcite is @xmath24 , where the number of colors @xmath25=3 , the strong coupling constant @[email protected] , and @xmath27 is the participant density in the transverse plane . at rhic energies @xmath21 is on the order of 12 gev/@xmath13 . it has been argued that particle production at rhic ( and perhaps at sps ) is dominated by the gluon saturation region @xcite . while number of constituents is not conserved during the hadronization process , the total transverse energy of gluons ( @xmath28 ) may be better preserved in the final hadrons . motivated by the gluon saturation picture , we introduce a new , experimental variable : @xmath29^{1/3 } \ ; . \label{eq : w}\ ] ] since pion multiplicity is approximately proportional to the overlap volume ( or @xmath10 ) , and since @xmath30 is approximately constant over the measured centralities , @xmath2 is an approximate measure of the pion transverse energy per unit of rapidity and transverse overlap area : @xmath31 here @xmath30 and @xmath32 are the mid - rapidity pion mean transverse mass and multiplicity density , respectively , and the subscript ` cent ' stands for the most central collisions ; @xmath33 is the transverse radial size of nuclear overlap , and @xmath34=@xmath35 is that for the most central collisions . the first factor on the r.h.s . of eq . ( [ eq : w ] ) quantifies transverse energy production ; the second factor depends on the collision energy : the larger the energy , the smaller the @xmath36 probed by mid - rapidity hadrons , and the larger the gluon density ; the third factor defines centrality : the more nucleons in the longitudinal direction , the larger the gluon density in the transverse plane . the second and third factors combined , as in eq . ( [ eq : w_approx ] ) , scales with the transverse area gluon density . the @xmath2 variable therefore unifies all three effects and is of use in studying systematics in heavy ion collisions . figure [ kmpi_w ] shows the mid - rapidity @xmath0 as a function of @xmath2 in heavy - ion collisions @xcite including different collision systems , energies , and centralities . the data seem to follow a trend : a linear increase of @xmath0 with @xmath2 in the ags and sps energy regime and a saturation at rhic with further increase in @xmath2 . the observed trend could imply that @xmath2 may be the relevant variable underlying @xmath0 . an interesting study in terms of the participant density @xmath27 can be found in @xcite . it is worthwhile to emphasize that the @xmath2 defined in eq . ( [ eq : w ] ) is an experimental variable . the interpretation , however , needs a leap of faith . in the gluon saturation picture , it is possible that the initial gluon density is saturated at the sps and rhic energies . as the saturation scale @xmath37 becomes large , the difference between kaon and pion masses becomes less important , resulting in a roughly constant @xmath0 . gluon saturation should be irrelevant at ags energies , as gluons can be distinguished longitudinally and quark contribution to particle production is significant . however , the fact that si+al and au+au data are on top of each other in fig . [ kmpi_w ] indicates that @xmath2 may be the relevant quantity for @xmath0 at the ags , although the interpretation may be different from that at high energies . a quick examination of eq . ( [ eq : w_approx ] ) reveals that @xmath2 is approximately equal to the bjorken estimate @xcite of the initial energy density ( @xmath38 ) times the formation time ( @xmath39 ) . taking @xmath39 as constant , fig . [ kmpi_w ] implies that @xmath0 , while is increasing with @xmath38 at the sps , becomes insensitive to @xmath38 when @xmath38 becomes large at rhic . a possible explanation is that the chemical freeze - out condition ( which fixes @xmath0 ) is sensitive to @xmath38 at sps , while at rhic @xmath38 is no longer relevant to the ( later ) chemical freeze - out condition . we note , as @xmath39 likely decreases with the collision energy and some of the transverse energy is carried by particles other than pions , the above line of argument is at best qualitative . strangeness enhancement is often referred to as an enhancement in @xmath4 in a+a with respect to minimum bias p+p at the same energy ( e.g. as in fig . [ kpi_roots ] ) . however , this may not be justified as energy is not the only relevant variable . if @xmath2 is indeed the relevant variable , then a+a should have a larger @xmath2 value than the same energy p+p due to the @xmath40 factor . to calculate @xmath2 for p+p and @xmath1+p by eq . ( [ eq : w_approx ] ) , we use @xmath41 fm , the proton size from the mit bag model @xcite . figure [ kmpi_w ] shows in filled points @xmath0 in minimum bias p+p and @xmath1+p as a function of @xmath2 . the p+p and @xmath1+p data are , surprisingly , not far away from the systematics observed in a+a . we note that the @xmath33 value used is rather model dependent ; a choice of @xmath33=0.60.7 fm would bring the p+p and @xmath1+p data points on top of a+a . in summary , an interesting observation is made for the mid - rapidity @xmath0 ratio in heavy - ion collisions as a function of the experimental @xmath2 variable , the pion transverse energy per unit of rapidity and transverse overlap area , as defined in eq . ( [ eq : w ] ) . at high collision energies , the variable may be related to the gluon saturation scale in high density qcd , and/or the bjorken estimate of initial energy density times formation time . it is observed that @xmath0 increases linearly with @xmath2 in heavy - ion collisions at low energies and saturates at rhic . whether or not the elementary p+p and @xmath1+p data follow the same systematics depends on the choice of the proton size which is less certain than the transverse size of a heavy - ion collision . to further establish the observed systematics , low energy rhic data , overlapping with the existing sps and rhic data in @xmath2 , are essential .

– A landslide at a tea plantation in Java has killed at least 5 people and left 60 others buried, according to police on Indonesia's main island. Villagers are digging through tons of mud with farm tools and their bare hands searching for survivors, the AP reports. Days of heavy rain have soaked the area south of Jakarta, leaving roads impassable. A cell phone tower was brought down in the landslide, further hampering the rescue effort. The region has been experiencing heavier rains than usual this year, causing floods that have forced hundreds from their homes. Deforestation in the area has stripped hillsides of their cover, increasing the risk and severity of landslides, the BBC notes.

A rain-triggered landslide Tuesday at a tea plantation on Indonesia's main island of Java killed at least five workers and buried at least 60 others, police said. No heavy earth-moving equipment was available in the area, so villagers were digging through tons of dislodged mud with farm tools and their bare hands in a search for survivors, police Chief Lt. Col. Imron Yunus said. The landslide occurred at a tea plantation near the mountainous village of Tenjoljaya in the Ciwidey district after days of heavy rain, he said. Yunus said more than 60 people remained under the mud and debris, which covered at least 50 houses near the Perkebunan Teh Dewata tea plantation. Yunus said five bodies had been pulled from the mud. (This version CORRECTS village name to Tenjoljaya in graf 3) ||||| Heavy rain triggered floods in the area last week At least five people have been killed and dozens are missing after a huge landslide buried a village in West Java, Indonesia, officials say. Rescue teams have been sent to look for survivors at a tea plantation near Bandung, south of the capital, Jakarta. Hundreds of people have been left homeless by the landslide, which is reported to have hit a workers' housing area in the morning. Landslides triggered by monsoon rain or floods are common in Indonesia. Bandung has had particularly heavy rains and floods, with scores of people fleeing from their homes to safety during the past two weeks. Communication problems More than 300 search and rescue personnel with heavy equipment are heading to the area, near Ciwidey village, about 35km (22 miles) south-west of Bandung city, officials say. "It had been raining very heavily since yesterday [Monday] and that probably caused the landslide," Disaster Management Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono told the AFP news agency. "We believe the landslide area could be the size of two football fields. The tea-processing plant and 50 houses were also buried." Another official said some houses were buried so deep that even the rooftops were invisible. The plantation owns barracks to provide housing for its hundreds of workers. Mr Kardono said roads to the area had been blocked: "We're facing problems trying to reach them." Rescue efforts are also being hampered by poor communication due to the collapse of a mobile phone tower which was brought down by the landslide. As no heavy earth-moving equipment was available in the area, villagers were digging through tonnes of mud with farm tools and their bare hands to search for survivors, police Chief Lt Col Imron Yunus told the Associated Press news agency. The Indonesian Red Cross said about 500 villagers who lost their homes had been moved to temporary shelters in neighbouring villages. Landslides - especially during the rainy season - are frequent in Indonesia, where years of deforestation can often leave hillsides vulnerable to collapse, says the BBC's Karishma Vaswani in Jakarta. According to environmentalists, tropical downpours can quickly soak hills stripped of vegetation which had held the soil in place.

– A man and his dog have a new best friend in the United States Coast Guard, after it picked them up after days at sea, using smoke pouring from their burning sailboat to home in on their position. As WFLA reports, the man's sailboat, which he was sailing from New Orleans to Tampa, became disabled last week, stranding him at sea for three days before it caught fire on Friday. "He contacted us via radio as soon as his situation deteriorated, was wearing a life jacket when he was rescued, and we were able to recover him safely," a Coast Guard rep tells the St. Petersburg Tribune. “There was a lot of smoke and not much left of the boat but it definitely made it easier for us to spot," adds another Coast Guard official. The man and dog evacuated to the boat's dinghy after the fire broke out; "He kept the dog close to his chest," says the latter official.

The Coast Guard rescued a man and his dog from a dinghy Friday after they abandoned their burning sailboat in the Gulf of Mexico about 69 miles from Hudson. A few hours earlier, the man contacted the Coast Guard via radio and reported the boat was disabled and drifting since Wednesday, although he had food and water. About 4:30 p.m., the man reported the boat had caught fire and he and his dog had abandoned ship and boarded the sailboat’s dinghy, the Coast Guard said. Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg sent an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Clearwater and a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boatcrew from Sand Key. Smoke from the sailboat helped lead the helicopter to the scene about an hour later. The crew hoisted the man and his dog and transported them to the air station in Clearwater, where paramedics were waiting. The man and dog were hospitalized and doing well, officials said. “He contacted us via radio as soon as his situation deteriorated, was wearing a life jacket when he was rescued, and we were able to recover him safely.” said Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma, public affairs officer for the Coast Guard’s Seventh District. “This case really highlights just how critically important it is to have the proper lifesaving equipment onboard. Somma said boaters should have lifejackets, flares, a VHF radio and an electronic position indicating radio beacon. ||||| CLEARWATER, FL (WFLA) – US Coast Guard rescue crews saved a man and his dog after days on the water. The man was sailing from New Orleans to Tampa. The man told the Coast Guard his sailboat was disabled for three days before it caught fire Friday afternoon. “When I saw the smoke I knew that we found what we were looking so that actually made it a little bit easier. We were probably about 10 nautical miles away when I started to see the smoke in the distance,” aircraft commander Lt. Chanel Lee said. “There was a lot of smoke and not much left of the boat but it definitely made it easier for us to spot. He contacted the Coast Guard. He put his life jacket and gave a good position to where we could locate him,” said Erick Leib with the Coast Guard. Rescue crews found the dog huddled in a blanket. “He kept the dog close to his chest,” Leib said. Crews didn’t initially know how big the dog was. “Is it going to be a problem? Is it going to freak out on you? But it was a very small dog, and I just told him to hold on very tight to it,” Leib said. The man and the dog were both taken to the hospital for treatment because they inhaled smoke before abandoning the ship. “Once we’ve got them in the helicopter and we know we’ve saved someone and we also did it in a safe manner, it’s a feeling of relief and a feeling of excitement. Your adrenaline is going for sure, but it’s an exciting and rewarding feeling,” Leib said. MORE ON WFLA.COM:

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The older brother of a Syrian boy whose image, dazed and bloodied after an air strike, shocked people around the world, has died in Aleppo from wounds sustained in the same incident, a war monitor, a local council official and a witness said. Ali Daqneesh, 10, was wounded in Wednesday’s air strike, according to U.K.-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and a witness who was present at the time of the death along with the boys’ father. “He was martyred while in hospital as a result of the same bombardment that their house was subjected to,” said Besher Hawi, the spokesman for the local council of Aleppo. He had internal bleeding and organ damage, doctors told the witness. His younger brother, five-year-old Omran Daqneesh, was pictured in the back of an ambulance after being pulled from the rubble, with an expression of incomprehension on his dust- and blood-caked face. The video and pictures were widely circulated online and in the media, refocusing public opinion on Syria’s five-year-old civil war and the plight of civilians, particularly in Aleppo. Russian and Syrian warplanes have intensified their air strikes on the rebel-held east of the city since insurgents made an advance last month, breaking an effective siege. Fighting and air strikes in and around Aleppo have killed 448 civilians so far this month, the Observatory said. Five-year-old Omran Daqneesh, with bloodied face, sits inside an ambulance after he was rescued following an airstrike in the rebel-held al-Qaterji neighbourhood of Aleppo, Syria August 17, 2016. REUTERS/Mahmoud Rslan Rebels, supported by the United States, Turkey and Gulf Arab nations, have been fighting since 2011 to oust President Bashar al-Assad, who is supported by Russia and Iran. Russia began air strikes last September. On Friday, the World Food Programme described the situation in besieged areas as “nightmarish” amid growing international concern over the humanitarian cost of the war in Syria. Russia on Thursday said it supported the idea of weekly 48-hour ceasefires to allow humanitarian aid to enter besieged parts of Aleppo, a plan the rebels also cautiously welcomed. ||||| The older brother of Omran Daqneesh—the 5-year-old Syrian boy who appeared, shocked and bleeding, in a photo that circulated around the world this week—has died from injuries sustained in the airstrike that hit his family’s home in Aleppo on Wednesday. Ali Daqneesh, 10, died after suffering internal bleeding and organ damage, Reuters reported, citing the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a witness who was present at the time of his death. The Aleppo Media Center, an anti-government activist organization in Syria, confirmed in an email that Ali died Saturday morning. The group said his sister and mother are still in the hospital, recovering from injuries sustained in the airstrike. Read more: The Boy in the Ambulance Omran Daqneesh was pulled from the rubble after the explosion, and rescuers said he was briefly hospitalized but doing well.

– A suicide attack hit Kabul's Green Zone today, the fortified area housing government officials, diplomats, and US military, killing two Afghan security guards. The Wall Street Journal says a single bomber attempted to occupy an unfinished building, from which he could have fired into the CIA compound and nearby embassies. The AP puts the number of bombers at two, and says that as they were attempting to target the American base, they were spotted and fired on by guards. The bombers were killed, but one of their vests exploded during the firefight. Five civilians were wounded. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. It comes even amid heightened security in the area ahead of the Ashoura holy day Saturday; last year, one of the deadliest attacks in Kabul history occurred on Ashoura. In the first major sectarian attack since the Taliban fell, a suicide bombing at a Shiite shrine left at least 80 dead.

Two Taliban suicide bombers struck near a U.S. base in Kabul early Wednesday, killing two Afghan guards in the heart of a neighborhood filled with foreign forces and embassies. The attack came despite increased security ahead of a Muslim holy day that last year saw one the capital's deadliest attacks. Afghan security men inspect the scene of a suicide attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012. A man wearing a suicide vest blew himself up near a U.S. base in the Afghan capital early Wednesday,... (Associated Press) The bombers apparently meant to target the American base but were spotted by security guards as they approached on foot. The guards fired on the assailants, killing them, but not before one of the vests exploded, said Gen. Mohammad Daoud Amin, the deputy provincial police chief. Two Afghan security guards were killed and five civilians were wounded in the morning explosion, he said. The blast reverberated around Kabul's Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood. An alarm started going off at the nearby U.S. Embassy, warning staff to take cover. The neighborhood also is home to many high-ranking Afghan officials, international organizations and the headquarters of the international military coalition. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing in an email to reporters. The attack came as foreign and Afghan forces tightened their watch over the capital ahead of the holy day of Ashoura on Saturday, when Shiite Muslims commemorate the seventh century death of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson. Last year, the commemoration saw the country's first major sectarian attack since the fall of the Taliban regime. In that strike, a suicide bomber on foot detonated his vest amid scores of worshippers at a Shiite shrine, killing at least 80 people. Attacks in Kabul are relatively rare and more recent strikes have not been particularly deadly, but have shown the continued ability of the insurgents to penetrate the security cordons that surround the city. The last previous attack before Wednesday's strike took place last week, when insurgents fired four rockets into the city, killing one person. The rockets hit near the airport, a private television station and close to a compound used by the Afghan intelligence service. Wednesday's bombers were also armed with grenade launchers, said Amin, the deputy police chief. He said they were stopped near a building that was under construction near the U.S. base. An international coalition vehicle was also damaged in the attack but there were no initial reports of casualties among the foreign forces, said Jamie Graybeal, a NATO troops spokesman. Police had already set up extra checkpoints around Kabul and specifically near shrines to search cars and people in the run up to the Ashoura. On Tuesday, Amin said that all his forces were "in the first security alert position" and doing their "best to provide good security and prevent any possible incident on Ashoura." ||||| Dow Jones Reprints: This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only.

– The latest development in the gossip universe’s breathless coverage of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s rumored split: Brad bought himself a $1.1 million bachelor pad. This according to the Daily Mail, which even has pictures of the two-bedroom, two-bath place (it comes complete with, literally, a man cave). “'Brad has had his eye on it for some time but he decided now was the right time to buy because he wanted a place to call his own,” a source tells the Mail. "He needs somewhere quiet that doesn't have memories of Angie and where he can be alone and think about what he does next." Another source says Brad is trying to make his relationship work, and his mother is on board to help the couple, and will be meeting the actress next week. Meanwhile, TMZ reports Pitt—and his enormous beard—were spotted at the LA home he shares with Jolie on Sunday.

Brad buys £700,000 bachelor pad (complete with its own cave) to 'get over split from Angelina' Brad Pitt has bought himself a bachelor pad to help him deal with his split from Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt has secretly purchased a bachelor pad to help him sort out his split from Angelina Jolie, it was reported yesterday. The 46-year-old Ocean's Eleven actor has spent £700,000 on the house, complete with a cave, in the Hollywood Hills. 'The house oozes character,' said a source. 'Brad has had his eye on it for some time but he decided now was the right time to buy because he wanted a place to call his own. 'He needs somewhere quiet that doesn't have memories of Angie and where he can be alone and think about what he does next.' Built in 1920 and originally on sale for £1.3million, the property has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a bar area. The cave is built into the foundations. It was reported yesterday that Pitt's mother Jane has stepped in to try to save his relationship with Miss Jolie. She plans to use the skills she learnt working as a family counsellor when she meets the 34-year-old actress in Los Angeles next week. The 70-year-old has apparently become close to Miss Jolie thanks to their joint work in setting up a cancer centre. She has however always favoured her son's ex-wife, the actress Jennifer Aniston, 40. Pitt and Miss Jolie are already believed to have enlisted lawyers to negotiate the division of their £205million fortune and custody of their children. Hideaway: The actor has spent £700,000 on the house, complete with a cave, in the Hollywood Hills Bachelor pad: The property has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a bar area - plus a secret cave built into the foundations But a family source said: 'Brad is desperately trying to cling on to the wreckage of the relationship as he is still very much in love with Angelina and believes they can make it work. 'Jane wants what is best for her son and grandchildren and Angie has agreed to meet her. 'She has stuck at her own marriage and worked with families for 30 years trying to keep them together.' In happier times: Brad and Angelina at last year's Cannes Film Festival The couple have six children: adopted sons Maddox, eight, and Pax, six; adopted daughter Zahara, five; and their natural children Shiloh, three, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17 months. They got together in 2005 - shortly after Pitt's four-year marriage to Miss Aniston failed. ||||| Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi are going at it as if they Richards and Jagger!

– Heavy coffee drinkers who worry about their habit can at least bear this in mind: They have a lower risk of getting skin cancer, according to a large-scale study. Researchers found that people who downed four cups a day have a 20% lower risk of developing malignant melanoma, which CBS News notes is the fifth most common cause of cancer in the US and the deadliest form of skin cancer. The study crunched data from 447,000 adults who were tracked over 10 years. The more coffee they drank, the less likely they were to develop melanoma. The scientists from the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health and the Yale School of Public Health emphasize that this "modest" decrease in risk obviously doesn't mean coffee drinkers can skip the sunblock, reports the LA Times. The study shows only a link, not a cause-and-effect, and researchers can't say for sure what's going on. But the findings generally didn't apply to decaf drinkers, so one theory is that caffeine plays some role in the protection, reports LiveScience. (Those who find coffee bitter might try it in a white mug.)

The association was only found among participants who consumed caffeinated coffee, not decaffeinated. Coffee also only appeared to reduce the risk of malignant melanoma, not melanoma in situ, an early form of the disease in which melanoma cells have not spread beyond the outer cells of the skin. This "may indicate different disease etiologies or an inhibitory role of coffee consumption in disease progression," the researchers write. ||||| More than half of all American adults start off their morning with at least one cup of joe. Most drink coffee to wake up and simply get through the day. But new research adds to the evidence that coffee can have significant health benefits -- far beyond helping you make it to that morning meeting. The latest study finds coffee may lower the risk for the most serious type of skin cancer, malignant melanoma. Prior research has shown coffee may help prevent other types of non-melanoma skin cancers. However, this is the first large-scale study to look specifically at malignant melanoma, which is the fifth most common cancer in the U.S. and the leading cause of skin cancer deaths. For the study, published Tuesday in JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers analyzed data from the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study on more than 447,000 non-Hispanic whites, who are at higher risk of skin cancer. Study subjects filled out questionnaires about their eating habits, including coffee drinking, and were followed-up after about 10 years. CDC: Cost of treating skin cancer is soaring The researchers found that frequent coffee drinkers -- those who consumed four cups or more per day -- had a 20 percent lower risk for developing malignant melanoma than those who drank less coffee. The researchers also observed the protective benefits of coffee increased the more a person drank. Decaffeinated coffee did not provide the same protective benefits. The authors adjusted for other factors that might influence skin cancer rates, including ultraviolet radiation exposure, body mass index, age, gender, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking history. While the results of this new study are encouraging for coffee drinkers, the authors say their findings are preliminary, and may not be applicable to other populations. "Because of its high disease burden, lifestyle modifications with even modest protective effects may have a meaningful impact on melanoma morbidity," the researchers conclude. They called for further research into the impact coffee and caffeine may have on developing melanoma. Previous studies have shown that regular coffee consumption may help reduce the risk of other serious conditions including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, depression, liver disease and even early death. The beverage's antioxidant properties have also long been associated with reducing the risk for other types of skin cancer. One study published in 2012 in the journal Cancer involved 113,000 adults followed for 20-plus years. In that time, 22,800 participants developed basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer, which is rarely fatal. The study found that people who drank more than three cups of coffee were 17 percent less likely to develop basal cell carcinoma, compared with those who drank coffee less than once a month.
– If a 68-year-old woman had a baby, nearly everyone would scream. But there's not a peep about Robert De Niro's brand-new baby daughter Helen Grace with his 56-year-old wife, Grace Hightower, via surrogate, grumbles Sasha Brown-Worsham in The Stir. Let's get real: He's too old to have a baby now, she notes. He's old enough to be the infant's grandfather, and already has a 40-year-old kid to prove it. Even if the actor lives to be 90, his youngest (of six) will be only 22, and he likely won't be taking her on any ski trips after, say, the age of 80. "Really, it is a factor of time. New babies take enormous energy and time and they also want to know their parents as long as they can," sniffs Brown-Worsham. Click to read her entire argument.

Robert De Niro is a daddy again for the sixth time. The 68-year-old actor and his wife Grace Hightower, 56, had a daughter via surrogate on Friday and while a new baby is always cause for celebration, the span between De Niro's oldest and his youngest is 40 years. Helen Grace was a healthy 7 pounds, 2 ounces and certainly the De Niro's have the right to conduct their childbearing however they would like. Certainly their 13-year-old son Eliot will be happy to have a sibling in his house. The problem is De Niro is the same age as many grandfathers. When a woman has a baby at an older age, she is often taken to task as "too old" or "bad for the baby" or any number of other things, so why don't men get the same scrutiny?

When a woman has a baby at an older age, she is often taken to task as "too old" or "bad for the baby" or any number of other things, so why don't men get the same scrutiny? De Niro's five other children are almost all grown. His daughter Drena, 40, and son Raphael, 35, are with former wife Diahnne Abbott and then he has 16-year-old twin sons Julian and Aaron, born via surrogate with ex-girlfriend Toukie Smith. Finally there is Eliot. The fact is, De Niro could live to be 90 and his daughter could know him for only 23 years. Personally, that is my biggest problem with older people becoming parents. When you lose a parent young, you never get to know them as well as you might have otherwise. With De Niro the energy factor is likely not as big a deal given his wife is younger and she has many older siblings to help care for her. And since money is also not an object, they can certainly afford round-the-clock care if they need it. Really, it is a factor of time. New babies take enormous energy and time and they also want to know their parents as long as they can. At 68, De Niro could easily have grandchildren the same ages as his youngest four children. Certainly if he were a woman, there would be some judgement. It is not that his decision should be judged, really. It should just be questioned. Is 68 really the ideal age to become a new dad for the sixth time? Do you think a new baby at 68 makes sense? Image via david_shankbone/Flickr

Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period. ||||| "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Taylor Armstrong admitted Wednesday that her split earlier this month from ex-husband Russell Armstrong was prompted by ongoing physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her ex-spouse. This is not the first time Armstrong has encountered such behavior. The reality television star, who has called herself "a child of domestic violence" on "Real Housewives", has said that "one of my earliest childhood experiences was abuse" (she does not reveal any specifics). Luckily, Armstrong says she was "blessed with a strong family support system and...was quickly removed from the situation," in her youth, but the experience clearly left an emotional mark. Since then, the Beverly Hills businesswoman has championed the cause, working as an advocate for fellow abuse sufferers through the 1736 Family Crisis Center, and has used the "Housewives" show as a platform from which to draw attention to the "to the growing needs of victims of domestic violence...and other low-income community members in need of assistance." Armstrong credits her "deep insecurities" to her childhood experiences with abuse, saying that many of her difficulties as an adult are functions of that dark time. She has also said that her commitment to advocacy stems from from a desire to help "kids who have been through tough times to get past their issues and hopefully not carry things into adulthood and develop insecurities that could affect them for the long term." Of the violence she says she tolerated during her marriage, Armstrong says, "Allowing this to happen in my own relationship was something I felt very ashamed of." Just last year, Armstrong said of her eight year marriage, "It's a work in progress. "We're doing the best we can and really focusing on our family."
– OK, so the charismatic nerd on The OC was fictional, but there are many real Seth Cohens in the world—and one of them is working on meeting every other one. Seth Cohen has a Tumblr page full of selfies featuring him and other guys named Seth Cohen. "Meeting my namesakes is a true pleasure. However, this project is about so much more," Cohen writes on the blog. "It is about living in the world, not just on it; connecting with people I would never otherwise connect with, visiting places I would never otherwise visit, and experiencing things I would never otherwise experience." So far, the New Yorker appears to have met 10 people who share his name. There's "Seth Cohen II," a tax lawyer who's also a former pro wrestler; he once faced Hulk Hogan, Mashable reports. "Seth Cohen X" knew two Seths as a child—and both had the last name Cohen. "Seth Cohen IV" overcame a lifelong stutter through a 30-day course. The Seth behind the project explains his goals to Mashable. "I was at a place in my life where I wasn't sure 'what's next,'" he notes. "I've learned over the course of my life that the best-laid pains can go awry, even the most ‘practical’ ones … so you might as well plan for something that will make you happy." As for The OC's Seth, played by Adam Brody, Cohen says, "I suppose we could consider him an honorary Seth Cohen and add him to the project." Cohen, who is a media producer, Inside Edition reports, isn't the only one to attempt such a feat; a British comic made a similar effort into a book. (Then there's the guy who's trying to collect every copy of Speed on VHS.)

Is your name Seth Cohen? If so, Seth Cohen wants a word with you. In early November, a New York-based Seth Cohen kicked off what he's calling "The Seth Cohen Project" — a personal vow to meet as many Seth Cohens as he possibly can. With about 300 others listed in the Whitepages alone, Cohen has his work cut out for him. Cohen, who corresponded with Mashable through email, said the inspiration for the project was a lifelong desire to go on a "great adventure." "I was at a place in my life where I wasn't sure 'what's next,'" says Cohen. "I've learned over the course of my life that the best laid pains can go awry, even the most ‘practical’ ones… so you might as well plan for something that will make you happy." Pictured here: 4 Seth Cohens Image: Seth Cohen So far, Cohen has met 10 other Seth Cohens writing about each experience on the project's Tumblr and dubbing each new Seth Cohen with a roman numeral. Seth Cohen II is a tax attorney and former professional wrestler who fought under the moniker "Robby Parliament" and even stepped into the ring with Hulk Hogan. Seth Cohen IV has been to 77 countries. Seth Cohen VII was worried Seth Cohen would murder him. "I think the 'overlapping' that I have found so far is based on humanity. I think we all — as humans, not as Seth Cohen(s) — have way more in common then we realize," says Cohen. "We just don't know because we don't take the time to ask." Any Seth Cohens out there interested in connecting with Cohen can find information on his Facebook or Twitter. One word of advice for dealing with Seth Cohen's: tread lightly when discussing The O.C. character named Seth Cohen, played by Adam Brody. "I suppose we could consider him an honorary Seth Cohen and add him to the project," says Cohen. Generosity, from one Seth Cohen to another. ||||| INSIDE EDITOIN was there as a guy named Seth Cohen met another guy named Seth Cohen. And another guy named Seth Cohen. And yet, another guy named, yep, Seth Cohen! Coincidence? Far from it! Seth Cohen is a media producer from New York City on a bizarre mission. He told INSIDE EDITION, "I'm attempting to meet every Seth Cohen in the world." So far, he's met about a dozen Seth Cohens, but he's got a long way to go, as there are an estimated 300 Seth Cohens across the United States alone! Cohen said, "There are Seth Cohens everywhere." Just one question, Seth--why? "I've always wanted to go on some crazy, epic journey," he replied. His fellow Seth Cohens think it's a great idea. So, Seth Cohen and three of his namesakes went out for a bite together, and they had a great time, until it was time to split the bill and everyone claimed the check with Seth Cohen's name on it.
– Kentucky police have made an arrest in the murder of 7-year-old Gabbi Doolin, WHAS reports. Timothy Madden was arrested Friday in connection with the crime and is facing charges, though no charges have been released, according to WKRN. WKYT reports the 38-year-old Madden is from the same small town—Scottsville—where Doolin was murdered last Saturday during a youth football game, and he went to high school with Doolin's father. It's the same high school from which Doolin disappeared less than 30 minutes before her death. Madden is a father of five, according to WKRN. Doolin was attending her brother's youth football game last Saturday night when she got lost in a crowd. Her disappearance was noted quickly, and the game was stopped while her family and others looked for her. Twenty-five minutes later, her body was found in a creek behind the school. An autopsy confirmed Doolin's death as a homicide, but a cause of death has not been released, WKRN reports. According to WKYT, police searched a property—which possibly belongs to Madden—on the night of Doolin's death.

SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. (WKRN) – A 38-year-old man was arrested in the murder of a young girl in Kentucky. Kentucky State Police said Friday that Timothy Madden is now facing charges of kidnapping, rape, sodomy and murder in Gabriella “Gabbi” Doolin’s death. The 7-year-old was reported missing at 7:40 p.m. during a little league game at Allen County Scottsville High School and found dead at 8:05 p.m. in a small stream of water nearby. According to an arrest warrant, Gabbi was raped, manually strangled, and drowned. “Biological evidence,” or DNA, found on her body is what led police to Madden, the warrant states. Madden is being held on $1 million bond in the Barren County jail. Authorities said he is being housed alone at the jail. News 2 cameras were rolling as Madden was led to a sheriff deputy’s car Friday afternoon. When asked what he had to say, Madden replied, “I’m sorry for their loss but I’m innocent.” “Ever since we got the call last Saturday night, the people who work for the state police, along with the people from the Allen County Sheriff’s Department and the Scottsville Police Department have worked tirelessly to bring this matter to the point where we are today,” said Captain John Clark with Kentucky State Police. A source confirmed to News 2 that Madden is a local father of five children and attended high school with victim’s father, who is the same age. The source also said he was sitting near the family the night of her disappearance. The investigation is ongoing. Kentucky State Police asked for the community to continue to pray for the Doolin family. Friday night, the Scottsville Police Department said on Facebook the Doolin family donated flowers and food in the wake of Madden’s arrest. “We are in disbelief to the kindness they have shown us as they are going through so much that we can never comprehend,” the department wrote. “Our personal message to them: We respect your tact, grace, and faith as you go through the most painfully difficult times in your lives. Our prayers and hearts are with you all. We will never understand the magnitude of your grief, but we do grieve and hurt with you.” There will be a hearing for Timothy Madden on Monday, Nov. 23. ||||| Timothy Madden (Photo: Barren Co.

– An 81-year-old UK woman wants her end-of-life wishes to be crystal clear: She had the words "Do Not Resuscitate" tattooed on her upper chest, reports the BBC. "If I'm found lying about and can't say something, I want [medics] to accept that," explains Joy Tomkins. And if she happens to be on her stomach, she's got that covered, too, with a "P.T.O" (please turn over) tattoo on her back, accompanied by an arrow. Click BuzzFeed to see photos. Tompkins, who is not in ill health, explains further: "I've had 80 good, interesting years of marriage and children and grandchildren and plenty of friends," she says. "I'm quite happy if I wake up in the morning, but if I don't I'm just as happy."

Joy Tomkins from Downham Market, Norfolk. (Pic:AlbanyPix) If Joy Tomkins ends up in a life-or-death situation her wishes are plain to see – written across her chest. The 81-year-old gran-of-six is so adamant that doctors should not save her life in an emergency, she has had a “Do Not Resuscitate” tattoo. And in case she collapses face down and paramedics miss the big, blue capital letters, she’s had “PTO” and an arrow inked on her back. ||||| Image caption Joy Tomkins has had the tattoo since the start of 2011 An 81-year-old woman from Norfolk has had "Do Not Resuscitate" tattooed across her chest in case she falls ill and attempts are made to revive her. Joy Tomkins had the message tattooed, along with "P.T.O." and an arrow on her back, earlier this year. The former magazine company secretary said she could not bear to "make beds and wash-up for another 20 years". Despite having a living will for about 30 years, she said the tattoo meant there would be "no excuse" for error. "The tattoo is immediate... no excuse for not knowing what I thought," she said. The grandmother, who is diabetic but said she was not seriously ill, said she got the idea from a retired nurse, who did something similar in 2003. She said her willingness to not be resuscitated would "save money" for the NHS. Mrs Tomkins, who went to a tattoo parlour to get her message done, said she was happy with life but stated she would be "just as happy" not to wake up in the morning. She added she was determined to have the final say if she falls seriously ill. 'Much better dead' "If I'm found lying about and can't say something, I want [medics] to accept that," she said. "I'm 81 and don't need any more use. What do you think I'm going to do with the frightful thought of getting to 100? I hate it. "My mother-in-law lived to be 106 and in the last six years of her life she'd have been much better dead. She was miserable." The widow said that at the age of 81 she did not have the "stamina" to enjoy all of her hobbies any more, such as playing the piano and gardening. "I've had 80 good, interesting years of marriage and children and grandchildren and plenty of friends," she said. "I'm quite happy if I wake up in the morning, but if I don't I'm just as happy." Her two children, who between them have six grandchildren, are aware of their mother's views, but Mrs Tomkins said, "they won't argue with me". Dr Anna Smajdor, a lecturer in medical ethics at the University of East Anglia's Medical School, said she could see that Mrs Tomkins wanted to send a "very clear message" and "cover all bases" with her tattoo. However, Dr Smajdor said tattoos were not effective "as a sole way of ensuring wishes are fulfilled" as they would "not be legally binding".
– A man watched in horror yesterday as his Labrador discovered a human leg on a Massachusetts beach, the Boston Globe reports. Bill Barrett says he and his puppy were out for a walk, searching for seashells on Plum Island Beach, when the leg turned up. "We walked over there, and I said no leave it," the Newbury man tells WCVB. "It was the lower half of the leg with foot still attached, sock on the foot." Police have since cordoned off the area, brought in cadaver dogs, and found more remains that washed up south of the initial find, CBS Boston reports. Officials say police will try to identify the body parts by combing through missing person cases. No word yet on whether the remains belong to a man or woman, but Barrett says that "the sock was big enough that it looked like a guy."

NEWBURY (CBS) — Investigators are combing a Plum Island beach after human remains washed up on shore, officials said. Update 12/16: Remains Identified As Man Bill Barrett was walking his dog Saturday morning on the beach behind 28 Fordham Way when a woman looking through some debris found a bone. “She called me over and said what do you think this is? It was a good sized bone. I said it looks like a leg bone,” Barrett told WBZ-TV’s Julie Loncich. Barrett then saw his dog nudging something nearby. “I walked over there and she had found another portion of the lower leg with a foot still attached and a sock on it,” Barrett said. “It’s a disturbing thing to find on your beach you walk every day.” The remains are being processed, which could take several days, police said. Police will also be monitoring the beach in case more bones wash up. The Medical Examiner is also expected to inspect the bones for possible identification. The beach has remained close since that time as investigators perform a grid search. It is expected to reopen soon. Both state and local police are investigating. MORE LOCAL NEWS FROM CBS BOSTON ||||| Authorities say a puppy taking a walk on a Massachusetts beach with its owner uncovered a human bone, which led to the discovery of several others. A man walking his dog found the bones Saturday morning on the Newbury side of Plum Island. Watch NewsCenter 5's report Bill Barrett said his dog Tessa found what appeared to be the remains of a human foot with a sock still on it. "We were just out for a walk on the beach with the dog," Barrett said. "We walked over there, and I said no leave it. It was the lower half of the leg with foot still attached, sock on the foot." Investigators discovered more remains later Saturday once the tide had changed, according to police. It was first unclear if the bones were human or animal, but they were confirmed as human remains on Sunday, according to police. Investigators said Monday the bones were that of a man, but could not offer an age-range or ethnicity. Cadaver dogs were called to the scene Sunday morning during a three-mile search that turned up more remains. Newbury Police Deputy Chief John Lucey said police are still monitoring the beach in case more remains are found as the tides change. "There was an effort to organize a sweep of this entire area to make sure there was nothing else, being conducted right now," Lucey said. Police confirmed that the bones found were likely from the lower leg of a human. Barrett said while it was hard to tell, it appeared to him the remains were from an adult male. "Could have been a man or a woman, but the sock was big enough that it looked like a guy," Barrett said. Investigators expect processing of the remains to take several days.
– President Trump has signed into law a $1.5 trillion tax overhaul package. Trump touted the size of the tax cut, declaring to reporters in the Oval Office before he signed it Friday that "the numbers will speak." The president said he was going to wait to sign it until after Jan. 1 but changed his mind. The legislation provides generous cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans and smaller ones for the middle class and low-income families. It is the first major overhaul of the nation's tax laws since 1986, but far from the largest tax cuts in American history as the president claims, per the AP. Politically, it marks the Republicans' first major legislative accomplishment of Trump's presidency. Some estimates say the cuts could add to the nation's soaring deficit. Trump also signed a short-term spending bill designed to avert a government shutdown, reports CNBC.

The president had initially planned to sign the tax bill in early January, he said, but decided to sign it Friday morning after he listened to cable news shows discussing whether the bill would become law in time for Christmas.

the central nervous system ( cns ) metastasis from nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( npc ) is an extremely rare occurrence , although direct intracranial invasion is not infrequent in patients with npc . f - fluordeoxyglucose ( f - fdg ) positron emission tomography - computed tomography ( pet - ct ) is an excellent tool for staging npc . here we present a case where f - fdg pet / ct scan detected an asymptomatic cauda equina metastatic lesion in a patient with npc and helped in change of management . a 62-year - old male was presented with history of neck swelling , nasal obstruction and epistaxis . on examination , bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy was noted . a well - defined soft tissue density lesion at nasopharyngeal region abutting the posterior pharyngeal wall was also noted . the patient was referred for whole body f - fdg pet / ct for staging . pet / ct revealed f - fdg avid primary malignant disease involving the roof and posterior wall of nasopharynx and bilateral fossa of rossenmuller , with metastases to bilateral cervical and left supraclavicular lymph nodes . interestingly , a discrete f - fdg avid ( suvmax-8.6 ) nodular lesion was noted in the cauda equina region at the level of l4-l5 vertebrae , which was highly suggestive of metastasis [ figure 1 ] . this lesion was later confirmed to be metastatic at contrast - enhanced magnetic resonance imaging ( mri ) and the patient was referred for regional radiotherapy . pet / ct revealed f - fdg avid primary malignant disease involving the roof and posterior wall of nasopharynx and bilateral fossa of rossenmuller ( a and b ; broken arrow ) , with metastases to bilateral cervical and left supraclavicular lymph nodes ( a and c ; arrows ) . a discrete 18f - fdg avid nodular lesion was noted in the cauda equina region at the level of l4-l5 vertebrae ( a , d - g ; bold arrow ) nasopharyngeal cancer is the head and neck cancer with the highest incidence of distant spread . the most common distant metastatic sites are bone , lung and liver in descending order . while intracranial invasion by direct extension from the nasopharynx is a common finding in locally advanced npc , cns metastasis of npc is an extremely rare occurrence . all the reported cases of spinal cord metastases have been associated with locally advanced disease . because of complications associated with tissue diagnosis , imaging plays a vital role in diagnosis of spinal cord metastasis . f - fdg pet / ct can play an important role in this aspect . also , in our case f - fdg pet / ct played a critical role in detection of the metastatic cauda equina lesion . although , cauda equina metastasis in npc has been documented in literature , to the best of our knowledge , the present case is the first one reporting the utility of f - fdg pet / ct for detecting asymptomatic spinal cauda equina metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma . by demonstrating distant metastasis to cauda equina ,
– The Indianapolis Colts stuck to the plan tonight in the NFL draft and made Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck this year's No. 1 pick, reports the Indianapolis Star. ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that he will get a four-year deal for $22 million. That's relatively modest by NFL standards, but Bleacher Report says it's part of a trend in which "rookies are no longer getting huge contracts." The top 5 picks: Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, Stanford, quarterback Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III, Baylor, quarterback Cleveland Browns: Trent Richardson, Alabama, running back Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil, USC, offensive tackle Jacksonville Jaguars: Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State, wide receiver More on the unfolding draft here.

Al Bello/Getty Images All right, ladies and gents, that'll do it for Round 1 of the 2012 NFL Draft. Absolutely flew by. Hope you had a lot of fun, I know I did. I'll admit, my fingers are tired. Just a little. As we all thought, there was an abundance of surprises and a ton of trades that yielded one of the most entertaining first-rounds in quite a while. Let your team's pick(s) sink in and get back here tomorrow, when I'll get the official Round 2 and Round 3 live blog started at 7 p.m. EST. For any questions/comments or just if you want to share your opinion, follow me on Twitter @ChrisTrapasso. I'll be tweeting out some of my thoughts on everything that went down in the first 32 picks and what may happen in the second round. Thanks for reading. We've got six rounds left—which is totally awesome. ||||| When Andrew Luck is drafted by the Indianapolis Colts at No. 1 overall in the 2012 NFL draft, he will reportedly sign a four-year, $22 million deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Schefter tweeted on Thursday: When No. 1 overall picks Andrew Luck signs with Indianapolis, it is expected to be a four-year deal worth just over $22 million. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 26, 2012 This continues a shift in the NFL, where rookies are no longer getting huge contracts. Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers got the same deal last year when he was selected No. 1 overall. Luck has the potential to be a huge bargain in the first four years for the Colts. He's been compared to Peyton Manning coming out of Tennessee and has an understanding of the game well beyond his years. He has all the tools you want in a quarterback: arm strength, accuracy, pocket poise, leadership and even the ability to run for a first down when things break down in the pocket. It's hard to find a draft expert in the country who doesn't think Luck will be a star at the next level. Given the Colts aren't exactly surrounding him with elite talent, there is a chance he won't be positioned to succeed, but his ability to read defenses and make everyone around him better could still see him put up big numbers right from the start. Is this a bargain for the Colts? Yes No Submit Vote vote to see results Is this a bargain for the Colts? Yes 89.2% No 10.8% Total votes: 3,868 The Colts previously said they were choosing between Luck and Baylor's Robert Griffin III, but it was pretty obvious they wouldn't pass up Luck. While Griffin very well could become a superstar in the NFL, Luck is seen as virtually a sure thing. There's really nothing not to like about his game. The Colts should be ecstatic they "only" have to sign this kid to a $22 million contract. He could be one of the biggest bargains in years. Follow me on Twitter. We can talk about the NFL together.
– A baby boy making an unexpected entry into the world early Christmas morning was delivered by two police officers in Montreal. They were flagged down by the frantic father around 3am and helped the mother deliver the 32-week, premature boy in the family car, reports the CBC. They helped them keep warm until an ambulance arrived, and later visited the hospital with teddy bears for the healthy newborn and his 4-year-old brother. One of the officers says that although police learn first aid, delivering babies isn't covered. "That was all instinct," he tells the Montreal Gazette. In another surprise Christmas delivery, transit police in Philadelphia helped deliver a baby boy on the subway.

Two Montreal police officers helped deliver a baby boy early on Christmas Day. The unusual event happened after the officers were stopped in their tracks by a man whose wife was in labour in their vehicle near the corner of St-Laurent Blvd. and Gouin Blvd. West. The couple and their four-year-old son were in their vehicle on the way to the hospital when they sought for help in delivering their baby. Jean-Pierre Brabant with the SPVM said the woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Brabant said though police learn advance first aid, delivering children is not part of the training curriculum. “That was all instinct,” he said. The officers followed the family to the hospital along with employees of Urgences-Santé to ensure the child was doing well. ||||| A pair of Montreal police officers helped a baby enter the world a little earlier than expected on Christmas morning. Just before 3 a.m. ET, a man frantically flagged down a patrol car in the city's north end and asked for help as his wife began to give birth in their car. The officers helped the woman deliver her baby in the car near the corner of St-Laurent and Gouin boulevards in the Ahuntsic neighbourhood. The 32-week, premature baby boy was safely delivered and put into an ambulance with the mother. A police escort brought the family to Sacré-Coeur Hospital. Their four-year-old son was also in the car during the delivery. Later in the morning. Const. Jean-Pierre Brabant brought stuffed bears for the boy and his newborn brother. He said it is not common for police officers to have to deliver babies, but the officers on Christmas morning were more than happy to do so. Both mother and baby are reportedly doing well. ||||| PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A pair of Philadelphia transit police officers rushed onto a downtown subway train on Christmas and helped make a special delivery: a baby boy. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Sgt. Daniel Caban and Officer Darrell James joined the delivery-in-progress shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday at the 15th and Market streets station. They coached the woman through the delivery, unwrapped the umbilical cord from the baby's neck and placed the boy in her arms. The baby's father wrapped him in a shirt to keep warm. "Everything just happened so quick, but it was amazing," James told WCAU-TV. The mother and newborn were taken to Hahnemann University Hospital, where they were reported in good condition. SEPTA police Chief Thomas Nestel III tweeted his excitement over the birth, writing: "Transit Police SGT and PO deliver baby on Market Frankford El train!!!! WOOHOO!!! Now that's a Christmas gift!!!" Later, the chief joked that he had waived the fare for SEPTA's "newest rider." James, a father, called the birth a blessing. Caban said helping to bring a new life into the world was a gift all its own. "I had already opened all my presents," Caban told WPVI-TV. "I didn't know I had another one waiting for me around 5:53 this afternoon."
– There's catching a thief on surveillance camera, and then there's this bizarre incident out of San Antonio, Texas. Homeowner Kan Lamkin woke on Christmas morning to discover that somebody had stolen his 16-foot inflatable reindeer-themed decoration, reports WFAA. The problem for the still-unidentified thief is that the whole 5-minute caper was caught on video. First, Lamkin made large black-and-white photos of the thief and mounted them on cardboard on his front lawn. Then he set up a projector and began replaying the theft over and over, set to a familiar holiday tune. "It reminded me of the movie the Grinch,' when the Grinch was going through town taking everybody's presents and decorations,” Lamkin tells News 4 San Antonio of that musical choice. "We're not going to let some Grinch steal our Christmas from us." So far, no arrests have been made, but Lamkin is holding out hope that the real-life Grinch will mimic his fictional counterpart and return everything he stole.

The saying goes, "Don't mess with Texas," and that seems to hold true for a San Antonio homeowner. Ken Lamkin is getting back at the Grinch who stole his Christmas decor from his lawn southwest of the city. "He was so slow and methodical, that's what reminded us of the story of the Grinch," he said. Lamkin is shaming the guy who stole his fog machine and inflatable. "It was 16 feet long and it's eight reindeer that were animated," he said. The theft was caught on camera. It happened around 3 a.m. on Christmas Eve, and took about five minutes. It was later that day that Lamkin got an idea. "And we ran over and made some black and white pictures and mounted them on some cardboard, and this is what you have: our new Grinch-themed Christmas," he said. But he didn't stop there. He has a projector that is playing the theft in his front yard. "It doesn't only show that we know who you are, but it is also to show that you can't take our Christmas," Lamkin said. "We are going to sit down here and hold hands, and we are going to sing and enjoy Christmas." Lamkin said that he hopes the thief realizes that everyone still loves Christmas: "Maybe your heart can grow 10 sizes today-and you can go around and return the stuff you took.” © 2018 KENS-TV ||||| SAN ANTONIO (WOAI) - A homeowner along Luckey River on San Antonio’s southwest side is comparing what happened outside his home to something from “The Grinch.” “Just like in the story 'The Grinch,' if his heart could grow 10 sizes, maybe he would not just bring our stuff back, maybe he'd bring everybody's stuff back,” said Ken Lamkin, the impacted homeowner. Early on Christmas Eve, surveillance video captured someone stealing Christmas decorations outside Lamkin’s home. According to Lamkin, the thief stole about $400 worth of decorations. "It reminded me of the movie 'The Grinch,' when the Grinch was going through town taking everybody's presents and decorations,” said Lamkin. "We're not going to let some Grinch steal our Christmas from us." WOAI had to blur the crook’s face because of the ongoing investigation but Lamkin used it as inspiration. "We printed up some posters, put them up on some poster board,” said Lamkin. “We wanted to keep it in the spirit of things, so we made it like a Christmas decoration.” His home’s yard is now filled with six screenshot photos of the alleged suspect captured from a surveillance video. “The Grinch” song is also being played on repeat outside, while a projector screen shows the surveillance tape. “We're going to watch this Grinch and just sit around and enjoy the night,” said Lamkin. Whoever is responsible managed to get away, but Lamkin remains optimistic for his own storybook ending. “Hopefully something will happen, and it will touch his heart, and he will change,” said Lamkin. “Maybe he'll return all of the things he has stolen, just like the Grinch did.”
– The US government is selling three-jar units of peanut butter for $761—even though the stuff inside, according to a researcher, is "prepared by a commercial manufacturer of peanut butter whose name you would recognize." That's what a chemist with the National Institute of Standards and Technology told the New York Times in 2003, when the peanut butter cost a mere $425. The reason for the price is the peanut butter's history. It was made to be used as "standard reference material" for researchers to study as a comparison to other foods, the Times reported. In other words, as Eater reports, "this is the gold standard of peanut butter."

The United States government has created the world's most expensive jar of peanut butter. Is it laced with pure gold? Coated in rare white truffle dust? Could it be hypo-allergenic? No, no, and no. This $761 jar of peanut butter was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Its high price has nothing to do with the ingredients in the jar. In fact, Katherine E. Sharpless, a NIST chemist who coordinated the project told the New York Times in 2003 that the blend of roasted peanuts, sugar, hydrogenated fat, and salt was "prepared by a commercial manufacturer of peanut butter whose name you would recognize.'' So why the eye-boggling price tag? It has to do with the labor involved: Dozens of scientists and lab technicians around the country spent time analyzing the peanut butter. This peanut butter is ''standard reference material, designed not to be eaten but... to be fed into gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers and other analytical equipment." The NIST's job is to provide a baseline product and respective analysis so that manufacturers have a reference by which to compare other, similar foods. When it was first released in 2003, the NIST's peanut butter was a huge step forward in food group analysis and cost $140 per jar. It has since more than quintupled in price. Though it contains no gold, this is the gold standard of peanut butter. Back in 2003, then NYT restaurant critic William Grimes said of NIST's peanut butter: ||||| TOKYO has its Kobe beef, at $1,000 a pound. Paris has its $100-an-ounce white truffles. But for true decadence, you have to go to Gaithersburg, Md., and the headquarters of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. There you'll find what has to be the world's most expensive peanut butter. A small six-ounce jar of the stuff costs more than $140 ($375 per pound). NIST, as the institute is known, is an agency of the Commerce Department, which might lead you to wonder: what is the government doing in the peanut butter business? But this is not another example of the bureaucratic laxity that produced the Pentagon's $600 toilet seat. In fact, for once the government is not buying at all -- since March it has been selling the stuff at $425 for three jars of creamy (sorry, no chunky available). This peanut butter is unique. It's ''standard reference material,'' designed not to be eaten but, like many other materials NIST produces -- concrete, ceramic powders, steels of all kinds -- to be fed into gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers and other analytical equipment. NIST provides a baseline analysis -- standards of reference -- of the peanut butter's nutritional components so that food manufacturers and testing laboratories can verify that their analyses of other, similar foods are accurate. The peanut butter, which is officially known as Standard Reference Material No. 2387, is the same spread you're likely to find in the supermarket, made from roasted peanuts, sugar, hydrogenated fat and salt.

the metric structure of bosonic scale - free networks and fermionic cayley - tree networks is analyzed focousing on the directed distance of nodes from the origin . the topology of the netwoks strongly depends on the dynamical parameter @xmath0 , called temperature . at @xmath1 we show analytically that the two networks have a similar behavior : the distance of a generic node from the origin of the network scales as the logarithm of the number of nodes in the network . at @xmath2 the two networks have an opposite behavior : the bosonic network remains very clusterized ( the distance from the origin remains constant as the network increases the number of nodes ) while the fermionic network grows following a single branch of the tree and the distance from the origin goes as a power - law of the number of nodes in the network . 2 pacs numbers : 89.75.-k , 89.75.hc complex networks representing systems of interacting units have been studied and classified @xcite according to their different geometrical and topological properties . in between complex networks scale - free networks , with power - law connectivity distribution , have been found to describe different systems of nature and society@xcite . recently several models @xcite have been formulated that generate such structures , the prototype of them being the ba model@xcite . scale - free networks are particulary interesting because their highly inhomogeneous structure induces peculiar effects in the dynamical models that can be defined on them , as the absence of percolation @xcite and epidemic threshold@xcite , the infinite curie temperature for the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in the frame of the ising model@xcite and the good associative memory of the hopfiled model defined on network with large average connectivity @xcite . besides , the investigation of the metric stucture @xcite of these networks is of great interest . it was first empirically found @xcite and then analytically derived @xcite that scale - free networks are characterized by having a mean distance @xmath3 between nodes scaling like the logarithm of the system size @xmath4 , @xmath5 . the similarities between the structure of a ba network and a traditional cayley tree have been recently studied . it has been found that they share high similarities . in fact they are both generated by the subsequent addition of a same elementary unit ( a node connected to @xmath6 links ) attached to the rest of the network in the direct or in the reversed direction @xcite . the symmetry between these two types of networks is evident if we assume that each node @xmath7 has an innate quality or `` energy '' @xmath8 and that the dynamics is parametrized by a variable @xmath0 called temperature that introduce a `` thermal noise '' as it has been done in self - organized models @xcite . it is possible , then to observe that the ba model becomes a limiting case of a scale - free network described by a bose distribution of the energies to which the incoming links point @xcite , while the growing cayley tree network is described by a fermi distribution of the energies at the interface@xcite . quantum networks ( the bosonic scale - free network and the fermionic cayley tree network ) evolve around a well defined core of initial nodes . in this paper we focus our attention on the metric structure of quantum networks and in particular on their size , i.e. we extimated the distance measured over directed paths of a generic node @xmath7 from the origin of the network and its dependence on the time @xmath9 in which the node @xmath7 has been added to the network . we derive the expression for the average value of the distance @xmath10 of node @xmath7 introduced at time @xmath9 from the origin , mesuread on directed paths , in quantum networks at @xmath1 . we find in agreement with @xcite that @xmath11 in the bosonic scale - free network and we show for @xmath1 a similar behavior in fermionic networks . at different values of @xmath0 the topology of the network change drastically . for energy distribution functions @xmath12 for @xmath13 the exponent @xmath14 of the power - law connectivity distribution @xmath15 goes from @xmath16 at @xmath1 to @xmath17 for @xmath2 and there is a phase transition at a cirtical temperature @xmath18 below which a finite fraction of all the links is connected to a single node . assuming that the bosonic network is a reasonable model for growing scale - free networks , we will have , for example , that the citation network @xcite with @xmath19 would correspond to a @xmath1 dynamics while the incoming component of the world - wide - web with @xmath20@xcite would correspond to a low temperature dynamics . as @xmath0 decreses also the behavior of @xmath10 changes and the distance of node @xmath7 from the origin depends less strongly on the time @xmath9 of its arrival . at sufficiently low temperature @xmath21 remains constant as a function of @xmath9 . on the contrary in the fermionic network , at @xmath2 , when the dynamics becomes extremal , the network evolves far away from the origin and the distance of a node @xmath7 from the origin of the network grows as a power - law of the time @xmath9 of its arrival in the network . the bosonic network is a generalization of the well known ba network@xcite . in this model , a new node with @xmath6 links is added to the network at each time step . each node @xmath7 has an innate quality or energy @xmath8 extracted from a probability distribution @xmath22 . the way the new links are attached follows a generalized preferential attachment rule : the probability @xmath23 that an existing node @xmath24 acquires a new link depends both on its connectivity @xmath25 and its energy @xmath26 , i.e. _ j = .[pref ] with the parameter @xmath27 tuning the relevance of the energy @xmath26 with respect to the connectivity @xmath25 . this network displays a power law connectivity distribution @xmath28 with @xmath29 $ ] depending on the @xmath22 distribution and the inverse temperature @xmath30 @xcite . in the @xmath1 limit ( @xmath31 ) the network reduces to a scale -

– An alliance of Muslim groups has raised $122,000 for the families of victims of the San Bernardino shooting in just five days, and donations are still pouring in. Muslims United for San Bernardino, led by southern California's MiNDS Network, originally planned to raise $50,000 to cover short-term expenses like funeral costs, but managed that feat in just 48 hours, reports WATE. So the group kept on trucking with a new goal of reaching $100,000. They met that target on Wednesday and upped their goal to $140,000. More than 1,000 people have donated with 21 days remaining in the campaign."The Koran teaches to 'repel evil by that which is better,'" the group's LaunchGood page says. "I think it sends a clear message that American Muslims are here to build and not destroy," adds Tarek El-Messidi, who helped create the fund, per the Huffington Post. Leading Islamic scholars and prominent groups like the Islamic Shura Council have also added their names to the fund, reports the Los Angeles Times. "This is an actual, tangible action we can do to show non-Muslims that we have your back," a 20-year-old backer says. "We do not want to be associated at all with extremists who are putting people in harm's way, and we want to show this as just one example of how American Muslims are contributors to society, trying to make our society a better place," El-Messidi adds. He says "the first batch of donations" will go out to families within a week. "We know no amount of money will bring back their loved ones, but hopefully this will make things a little easier for them." With so much money raised, the group says some funds may also go to the Inland Regional Center, where 14 people were killed last week.

total extraperitoneal repair ( tep ) of inguinal hernia repair is now a well recognised technique with similar recurrence and complication rates to open and transabdominal pre - peritoneal ( tapp ) laparoscopic repair ( 12 ) . here we present an unusual complication of the presentation of a strangulated femoral hernia following tep . a 63-year - old female presented to the outpatient clinic with a one month history of a right groin lump which was asymptomatic . on examination she was found to have a small , easily reducible , right inguinal hernia . her past medical history included well - controlled hypertension and a total vaginal hysterectomy and anterior repair of cystocoele . she was deemed suitable for extraperitoneal laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia as a day case procedure . we use an open technique to insert a glove balloon in order to open up the extra - peritoneal space before insertion of the laparoscope and further insufflation of carbon dioxide . the patient was found to have a small indirect inguinal hernia which was reduced and a 3-d prolene mesh was inserted to cover the defect . one week later she presented to a&e with a one - day history of a painful swelling in the contralateral groin . examination revealed a 4 cm tender , non - reducible swelling in the left groin . initially , a low approach was taken and an incision was made in the groin over the hernia . the contents of the hernia appeared ischaemic and there was a strong suspicion that bowel was present so the decision was made to proceed to a lower mid - line laparotomy . contents of hernia sac when performing the laparotomy incision it was noted that the patient had extremely friable blood vessels which bled easily . once the peritoneal cavity had been explored it was clear that the bowel was not involved in the hernia the hernia sac was then opened and found to contain pre - peritoneal fat and a large haematoma . we believe the previous extraperitoneal laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair caused this new presentation of a strangulated femoral hernia on the contralateral side . it was noted at time of laparotomy that the patients had delicate blood vessels which bled easily . we postulate that insufflation of the extraperitoneal space caused bleeding which tracked down through the femoral canal , opening it up and allowing herniation of pre - peritoneal fat . this would explain why the patient presented one week post - operatively rather than immediately . this was unexpected as dissection of the extra - peritoneal space by insufflation is normally limited to the midline . common complications of tep include recurrence , port site hernias , skin numbness , infections ( wound and mesh ) , chronic pain , vascular and visceral injuries and migration of mesh . less common complications including pneumothorax , pneumomediastinum , subcutaneous emphysema , mesh rejection and small bowel obstruction have also been reported ( 35 ) . to date , there are no reported cases in the published literature of such a complication as reported here following extraperitoneal laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair .
– Chelsea Clinton’s hiring at NBC prompted an inspired rant from Glenn Greenwald on Salon. Pointing out the fact that NBC has also hired Jenna Bush, Meghan McCain, and Luke Russert, Greenwald writes, “I really don’t understand what those angry, lazy losers in the Occupy movement are so upset about. America is a meritocracy,” and everyone who has anything certainly earned it. “When all else fails, we have a media filled with insurgent outsiders who will be relentless watchdogs over those in power." And that media? Also diverse—as evidenced by Clinton’s previous work at a hedge fund and her ties to Goldman Sachs. It’s so great that the founding fathers freed us from “the shackles of monarchy,” Greenwald continues, because it would be terrible if we were still captive to “those bestowed with prerogatives not because of what they’ve achieved but because of the accidental fortune of their birth.” Click to read his entire sarcastic diatribe. Others who seem to agree: Noreen Malone, New York: "NBC News maybe kinda sorta likes to hire kids of famous political people." And, whew, "it sounds like it was a very rough interview process," consisting as it did of one question. Anna North, Jezebel: “Wouldn’t it be nice if when you weren't sure what to do with your life, the president of NBC News just called you up and asked you what type of job you felt like having?” she muses. At this rate, “TV news should be entirely composed of politicians' offspring by 2020.” Hamilton Nolan, Gawker: "So, Chelsea Clinton is joining NBC 'News' to 'report' on 'Making a Difference.' We'll pause here as you get out all of the obvious jokes. (Pause.) Great. Now, let's take a moment to contemplate just how vapid our nation's most powerful 'news' networks really are. ... Network 'news' is an entertainment business. It has as much to do with journalism as CSI has to do with the day-do-day life of a policeman."

NBC News maybe kinda sorta likes to hire kids of famous political people. They've already got Luke Russert, Meghan McCain, and Jenna Bush in their roster, for instance. Today, they'll announce the hiring of Chelsea Clinton as a special correspondent, effective immediately. It sounds like it was a very rough interview process: "[NBC News president Steve] Capus said he had met with Ms. Clinton and had a long conversation that began with a simple question. 'I asked her: ‘What are you interested in doing?’ ” Capus knew Clinton might be interested in a gig because of a conversation in July with "an intermediary" who suggested to him she actively was looking for new professional opportunities, and trying to raise her public profile. Is intermediary what we're calling ex-presidents now? ||||| NBC has hired Chelsea Clinton as a special correspondent, meaning that TV news should be entirely composed of politicians' offspring by 2020. According to the Times, this is how she got the job: [NBC News president Steve] Capus said an intermediary contacted him in July with word that "she was kicking around what she wanted to do next." Mr. Capus said he had met with Ms. Clinton and had a long conversation that began with a simple question. "I asked her: ‘What are you interested in doing?'" Chelsea has always seemed like a smart lady, and no doubt she'll work hard at her new job. Still, wouldn't it be nice if when you weren't sure what to do with your life, the president of NBC News just called you up and asked you what type of job you felt like having? This appears to be reality for political kids, three of whom now work in national news media. The other two would be Jenna Bush Hager, who's a correspondent for the Today show, and Meghan McCain, who works for MSNBC. Click to viewHager's first outing for Today was her interview with 11-year-old public speaker Dalton Sherman. This was obviously a pretty soft assignment, and it sounds like Clinton's work will be similar. She apparently told Capus she was interested in "stories of people making personal contributions" — he says, "We knew she wasn't going to do the lead story. But having somebody who was going to do really captivating feature assignments for the ‘Making a Difference' franchise really kind of synced up." Click to viewMeghan McCain's debut as an MSNBC correspondent on Nov. 2 was a bit more politically charged — asked to evaluate the current Republican presidential candidates, she criticized Herman Cain's handling of his recent sexual harassment scandal and called Newt Gingrich "delusional." It's understandable that growing up during their dads' very contentious presidencies might make Hager and Clinton want to pursue less controversial subjects — and perhaps they're preserving inoffensive public images for the purposes of later campaign work. Still, if political offspring are going to be fast-tracked into TV, I'd like to see them get a little bit more down-and-dirty. I'm thinking a debate between Clinton, Hager, McCain and maybe Jon Huntsman's daughters, officiated by Luke Russert. If news is going to be a dynastic system, at least let's make it a fun one.

– A relief organization is bottling up the gooey BP oil fouling the Gulf of Mexico and selling it—for $1,000 a pop.

At the southeastern Louisiana oyster company his family owns in Houma, workers were having what he calls an intergenerational brainstorming session, trying to figure out how to help the fishermen and deck hands whose livelihoods were being smothered by the BP oil spill. But with their boats docked and their oyster leases pretty much useless, what did they have to work with? "As a joke, somebody yelled out, 'We got a lot of oil,'" Voisin said Thursday. About a week later, he said, it seemed less funny and more inspirational. Voisin (pronounced VWAH' san) last month helped launch a nonprofit relief effort for seafood workers thrown out of work by the spill. And on its website, horizonrelief.org, is the result of the inspiration: thick blobs of oil from the Deepwater Horizon rig leak, scooped from Louisiana waters and poured into a glass bottle, sealed with a cork and wax. The price: $1,000. One thousand of them are being offered as a limited edition souvenir of the nation's worst environmental disaster, unleashed after the rig exploded and sank in April. Voisin thinks of the bottles as a work of art that philanthropists might actually shell out for. Lesser donations also are being accepted for those unwilling or unable to afford $1,000-a-bottle oil. Money raised will go to oyster shuckers, fishing boat deck hands, day laborers, and others who might not have the time or necessary proof of previous income to apply for help through the BP claims process or government aid programs. Owners and managers of seafood companies know who the people are and can give the money without having to wait for applications or documentation, he said. "We don't need W2s. We don't need 1040s. We know the places that are shutting down. We know the community," Voisin said. "The obvious criticism is: What if you help someone who doesn't need it? If it helps one person who doesn't need it and it helps nine people who need it, that's a good trade. It's a trade the government can't make, I understand that. It's a trade that BP doesn't want to make from a cost perspective." Voisin himself is keeping one of the bottles as a kind of dark inspiration to keep fighting the spill. "I have a bottle of the enemy on my desk every day," he said. He also helps fill the bottles in a company warehouse. "It's a very labor-intensive process," he says. "The stuff sticks to everything." ___ Online: Relief effort website: http://www.horizonrelief.org
– Ouch, and double ouch: A woman says she was texting while driving when she struck a pole that pierced her truck and ran through her buttocks and thigh, USA Today reports. Christina Jahnz says she had just dropped off her daughter's saxophone at a middle school in Elizabeth, Colo., when she voice-texted and looked down to double-check it. That's when she hit the guard rail at 20mph. "The next thing I knew, I was looking up, there was white powder from the air bags deployed," Jahnz says. As for the pole, an estimated 4 inches in diameter, "I could feel it in there," she says, according to ABC 10. Firefighters had to saw off both ends of the pole to get her out of the truck. Rushed to Parker Adventist Hospital, Jahnz "lost count of the stitches after 40," she says. "They stitched me up inside too. I'm truly a miracle. They said if it gone just a little bit the other way I would have bled out." Released Sunday after a four-day stay, she's getting around with a walker and is expected to recover. "I just hope my story helps to save the lives of others," says Jahnz. "Don't text and drive." (Looks like the first text to 911 came from ... a driver.)

Elizabeth firefighters had to saw off the front and back end of the pole to get the woman out. Christina Jahnz says she was in the parking lot of Elizabeth Middle School on Wednesday morning to deliver her daughter's saxophone, which had been left at home. As she was driving away from the school, Jahnz started texting her friend. "I was running late for a business meeting, so I did a voice text. I looked down to make sure it was all right. The next thing I knew, I was looking up, there was white powder from the air bags deployed," Jahnz said. Then, Jahnz realized that the guardrail pole went through the front of her truck, through her buttocks and into the back of her seat. Elizabeth firefighters rushed to the scene, where she says they used a saw to cut the front and back end of the pole before rushing her to Parker Adventist Hospital. "I went into surgery and I lost count of the stitches after 40. They stitched me up inside too. I'm truly a miracle. They said if it gone just a little bit the other way I would have bled out," Jahnz said. After a four-day stay in the hospital, Jahnz was released late Sunday night. She will be able to get around with the help of a walker and is expected to make a full recovery. Jahnz says even though she was going 20 mph and looked down for only a split second, she has learned a lesson she will never forget. "It's devastating knowing that I could have prevented it to begin with. I just hope my story helps to save the lives of others. Don't text and drive," Jahnz said.

– Intel CEO Paul Otellini will retire in May, ending a nearly 40-year stint at the company, including what will be eight years in the top job, the chip maker announced today. "It's time to move on and transfer Intel's helm to a new generation," the 62-year-old said. The retirement comes on the heels of a dismal third-quarter earnings report that saw profit fall 14% amidst weakening demand, reports the Wall Street Journal, which calls the announcement a "surprise development": Historically, Intel execs hold on to their positions until they hit the mandatory retirement age of 65. Intel also used the opportunity to promote three senior executives to executive vice-president. Otellini leaves a strong legacy, writes Terrence O'Brien at Engadget. He oversaw, for instance, Intel's bounce-back from the ill-received Pentium 4, and Apple's transition from PowerPC to Intel processors. But Rocco Pendola at TheStreet is less impressed. "It's about time," his headline declares, and he criticizes Otellini for being "about five years too late" in jumping into the smartphone and tablet market. "What a complete and total embarrassment. But, give Intel credit. It made the move and blew the guy out."

Article Excerpt Intel Corp. was hit with the surprise departure of its longtime chief executive as the company, which makes most of the chips found in personal computers, pushes to restore its sway over the high-tech sector amid an industry shift to smartphones and other mobile devices. Paul Otellini, Intel's CEO since 2005 and a fixture in Silicon Valley, informed the board on Wednesday that he wanted to retire in May. The 62-year-old had widely been expected to stay in his position until Intel's mandatory retirement age of 65.

Up until, say, five years ago, these guys served their companies well. But, then, they lost it. Of course, Whitman hasn't done a damn thing and likely never will at HP. Both unfortunate realities have relatively straightforward answers. Much of the old guard just does not have the capacity to change. Once they realize they need to, it's too late. But, worse than that, they're caught like deer in headlights. It's a helpless feeling. We've all been there at different points in our lives. We know what needs to get done. We just have zero ability to make it happen. Intel must go to people such as Jack Dorsey to lead their search for a new CEO. Forget the standard executive headhunter firms. To hell with internal channels. Find out who people like Dorsey respect and make fierce moves on them. It's these young and/or fresh minds that have what it takes to do what needs to be done: Transform not-so-slowly dying companies such as Intel into shockingly and wholly unrecognizable, but much stronger versions of their previous failed selves.
– A former college basketball star who later played for the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets was found dead Saturday after exchanging gunfire with the LAPD, the LA Times reports. SWAT officers responded to a "man with a gun" call at the Sherman Oaks, Calif., home of Tyler Honeycutt, where officers were shot at when trying to communicate with someone inside, per the LAPD. Cops returned fire and the man barricaded himself inside. Honeycutt was later found dead on the scene. Bort Escoto, Honeycutt's former high school coach, says Honeycutt's mother called and said he had killed himself, which the LAPD echoed in a tweet, per USA Today. "I felt he’s not built to go to jail," says Escoto. "But I don’t see him ending his life either." Escoto explained that Honeycutt had been playing basketball in Russia and was struggling to adapt to life there. "It's hard for an LA kid to go to Russia, not know the language or surroundings. He was basically having a hard time with the adjustment. I just kept telling him he needed to get out and meet people." No officers were hurt in the gunfire and at least 30 local residents were evacuated during the standoff, ABC 7 reports.

– Tired of hearing about the Trump-Putin summit? Round two might be in the works, according to a tweet from President Trump. "I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed," he wrote. Trump then ticked off some of those topics: terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear arms, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, and North Korea. "There are many answers, some easy and some hard, to these problems...but they can ALL be solved!" he wrote. White House officials didn't immediately clarify whether a second meeting is being scheduled, reports Politico. Trump again called the meeting a "great success" and lashed out at naysayers, as Putin himself had done hours earlier in a Thursday speech in Moscow. “We will see how things go, as some forces in America are trying to belittle and disavow the results of the Helsinki meeting,” Putin said. “We see that there are forces in the United States ready to sacrifice Russian- American relations for their own domestic political ambitions.” Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports that senior US military officials remain unclear about exactly what Trump agreed to in the one-on-one meeting. Things are so murky that congressional Democrats have called for the US interpreter who was present to testify on Capitol Hill, a decision that a State Department spokesperson says has not been made because "no formal request" has been presented. The very suggestion has angered Russian politicians, reports the AP.

(Associated Press) In this July 16, 2018 file photo interpreter Marina Gross, left, takes notes when U.S. President Donald Trump talks to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the beginning of their one-on-one-meeting at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki, Finland, Monday, July 16, 2018. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais) (Associated Press) MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin called his first summit with President Donald Trump a success — but warned Thursday that Trump's opponents in the U.S. are hampering any progress on what they discussed, such as limiting their nuclear arsenals or ending the Syrian war. In his first public comments about the summit, Putin told Russian diplomats that U.S.-Russian relations are "in some ways worse than during the Cold War," but that his meeting with Trump on Monday allowed them to start on "the path to positive change." "It's naive to think that the problems would be solved in a few hours. But no one expected that," Putin said. "We will see how things develop further," Putin said, evoking unnamed "forces" in the U.S. trying to prevent any improvement in relations and "putting narrow party interests above the national interest." Putin faces no serious political opposition at home, and leads a country that has never experienced a democratic transfer of power. Trump, by contrast, has come under widespread domestic criticism about the meeting both from Democratic opponents and senior Republicans. Trump notably flip-flopped repeatedly over what exactly he said to Putin at the summit, and whether he believes that Russia meddled in the 2016 election campaign on Trump's behalf. Trump tweeted Thursday that his critics in the media "are pushing so recklessly hard and hate the fact that I'll probably have a good relationship with Putin." In a possible dig at Trump's unpredictable presidency, Putin vaunted Russia's "consistent, responsible, independent foreign policy." Putin had both criticism and praise for Trump in a broad speech about Russian foreign policy. The Russian leader praised Trump's mediation efforts in North Korea, but slammed his decision to pull out of the international accord curbing Iran's nuclear activities. He also lashed out at Europe and U.S.-dominated NATO, saying Russia would hit back with an "equivalent response" to NATO bases near Russia's borders and other "aggressive steps." He didn't elaborate. Russian politicians are rallying behind Putin and shrugging off Trump's wildly contradictory accounts of what he said to Putin at Monday's summit. They are angry, however, at proposals by U.S. lawmakers to question Trump's translator about what the men discussed privately. Konstantin Kosachev, head of the upper house of parliament's foreign affairs committee, said the idea sets a dangerous precedent that threats the "the whole idea of diplomacy," according to Russian news agencies.
– A rare voter fraud suspect has been arrested in Iowa, though Donald Trump is unlikely to accuse her of trying to rig the election: Terri Lynn Rote, who was arrested Thursday on suspicion of voting twice, is a registered Republican, the Des Moines Register reports. Police say the 55-year-old cast two early voting ballots in Polk County, which includes Des Moines. Two other people suspected of voting twice were reported to authorities, but have yet to be arrested. County auditor Jamie Fitzgerald says these are the first cases of alleged voter fraud that he can remember in 12 years. "I think it shows that our voting system works in Iowa, that we're able to catch it," Fitzgerald tells the Register, adding that although tensions are running high before the election, there is still a chance that the double votes could have been mistakes. The Blaze reports that Rote was an early Trump supporter who told a reporter in early February that she was planning to caucus for him in Des Moines. Early voting began in Iowa on Sept. 29. (Rudy Giuliani says "dead people generally vote for Democrats.")

CLOSE Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump leads Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll among likely voters in Iowa. The Register Terri Lynn Rote (Photo: Special to the Register) A Des Moines woman has been arrested on suspicion of voting twice this month in the general election, police and court records show. Terri Lynn Rote, 55, was booked into the Polk County Jail about 3:40 p.m. Thursday on a first-degree election misconduct charge, which is a Class D felony. Rote, a registered Republican, reportedly cast an early voting ballot at the Polk County Election Office, 120 Second Ave., and another ballot at a county satellite voting location in Des Moines, according to a Des Moines police report. Rote was one of three voter fraud suspects reported to police Wednesday by the Polk County Auditor's Office. It's the first time in 12 years that Polk County Auditor Jamie Fitzgerald can remember ever having to report potential voter fraud, he said Thursday morning. The other two suspects are accused of casting mail-in ballots and also voting in person, according to police reports. As of Friday morning, neither of those suspects had been arrested. The case is under investigation by Des Moines police. "I think it shows that our voting system works in Iowa, that we're able to catch it," Fitzgerald said. "Tensions are running high on both sides" as Election Day approaches, the county auditor said, but the cases of double voting could also have been simple mistakes. "That's not for me to decide," he said. Rote was held in jail on a $5,000 bond, but she had been released as of Friday afternoon. Her next court appearance was scheduled for Nov. 7, court records show. Early voting in Polk County started Sept. 29. Election Day is Nov. 8.

– Apparently when Amy Schumer saying she's going to leave the country if Donald Trump is elected president was a joke, but other people saying the same thing is a serious matter. The comedian went on a rant against such people Wednesday on Instagram, first clarifying that she said she might move "in jest" before moving on to say that "anyone saying pack your bags is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist homophobic openly disrespectful woman abuser." The rant, which went on to decry those who voted for Trump as "weak," was posted next to a popular Trump meme in which Trump supposedly called Republicans "the dumbest group of voters in the country." Trump actually never said those words, a fact Schumer acknowledged to conclude her rant: "Yes this quote is fake but it doesn't matter." As Us Weekly reports, Schumer said in an interview with the BBC in September that she was considering moving to Spain should Trump win, and that "my act will change because I’ll need to learn to speak Spanish."

Amy Schumer took to Instagram on Wednesday, November 9, to say she was joking about leaving the U.S. and to slam Trump supporters telling her and other celebs to move to another country now that Donald Trump has won the presidency. “First of all the interview where I said I would move was in London and was said in jest. Not that anyone needs more than a headline to count something as official news,” she began her long rant, referencing her comment in September that she was planning to move to Spain should Trump, 70, win the election. “Anyone saying pack your bags is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist homophobic openly disrespectful woman abuser.” “My act will change because I’ll need to learn to speak Spanish because I will move to Spain, or somewhere,” she said at the time. “It’s beyond my comprehension if Trump won. It’s too crazy.” Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images “Like the rest of us I am grieving today,” the avid 35-year-old Hillary Clinton supporter continued. “My heart is in a million pieces. My heart breaks for my niece and my friends who are pregnant bringing children into the world right now.” The comedian then directly attacked those who had voted for the Republican presidential candidate, calling them “weak” and “misinformed.” “You say lock her up and you know something about the word email but what was in the emails?” she vented. “You have no clue. Well I’ll tell you if you were able to read this far through the holes in your sheet. They said nothing incriminating. Nothing.” Schumer also let loose on Trump, accusing him of creating a “fake university,” claiming he refuses to pay taxes and mentioning allegations of sexual misconduct by multiple women — arguing that these were the things his supporters had condoned by voting him into the White House. “[Clinton] would have taken care of us,” Schumer wrote. “I personally would have had to pay higher taxes. All the celebrities backing her would have. … We would have had to pay a lot more because we are fortunate enough to make a high income. But we all wanted to do it to take care of the people in need.” “She was fighting to take care of you kicking and screaming babies,” she continued. “I cry for her and for all the smart people I love who know what’s right and I cry for you people who fell for shiny hats and reality catch phrases. She would have protected you. Today we grieve tomorrow we begin again.” Can't get enough of Us? Sign up now for the Us Weekly newsletter packed with the latest celeb news, hot pics and more!
– Talk about unwelcome visitors: Two 8-foot boa constrictors were spotted in an east London park last week and drew a small crowd when police came to remove them, the BBC reports. The snakes, which can grow to 18 feet, were spotted by "terrified parents" beside the park's playground for children, says the Daily Mail. "I’m not going anywhere near the park until they call in the experts and figure out why the park is full of snakes—there is no chance my kids are going there to be gobbled up until they sort this out," said a 31-year-old father of two. Actually, the reptiles first asphyxiate their prey—which (at least in captivity) tend to be little creatures like mice, rats, and rabbits. In a big city, cats and small dogs may be most at risk. An owner who couldn't keep the snakes likely set them free in Plashet Park, says the Mail, leaving them to be grabbed by police with litter pickers and dropped in evidence bags. "This is certainly the most bizarre call I can think of my officers dealing with during my time in Newham," said a police official. British papers didn't report on the fate of the snakes.

The two massive snakes measured 8ft and 6ft in length and were pulled from the bushes of the playground at Plashet Park in East Ham, London. Worried parents called 999 after they spotted the snakes, which can grow up to 18ft in length, inhabiting the area. Scroll down for video The boa constrictors inhabiting Plashet Park are captured by police officers and stuffed into evidence bags The officers used a litter picker to capture the snakes which they found hiding in the children's park bushes PC Simon Furia managed to pick up the two boa constrictors using a litter picker and put them in brown evidence bags, before they were handed over to the RSPCA. Father-of-two Freddie Spence, 31, of East Ham, said: 'The last thing you think of coming face-to-face with in East Ham is a boa constrictor. 'I’m not going anywhere near the park until they call in the experts and figure out why the park is full of snakes - there is no chance my kids are going there to be gobbled up until they sort this out.' Adult boa constrictors in captivity feed on rats, mice, rabbits and even chickens - meaning a cat, small dog, or guinea pig would be ‘easy prey’ for the escaped snakes, which are believed to have been set free in the park by an owner who could no longer afford to keep them. The maximum length of a boa is 18ft, but they usually only grow to about 10ft. The reptiles are indigenous to the Americas and kill their prey by asphyxiating them - wrapping themselves around their prey and crushing the life out of them. The snakes were found living in the bushes of East Ham's Plashet Park, an area popular with children It's believed the snakes were dumped in the park by a pet owner who could no longer afford to care for them The news two large snakes had been found in a London playground frightened a number of locals. Writing online, one said: 'The police found snakes in Plashet Park... Literally on my doorstep.. Yo, I’m moving to Essex.' Another wrote: 'Just went past Plashet Park - keeping my eyes open for those snakes.' Young boa constrictors need to be fed once a week, but older snakes can go without food for up to a month. Experts warn that adult boa constrictors should be handled by two people as they are incredibly powerful.
– Everyone who thought that Tony Dungy's statements about Michael Sam would be the last we'd have to hear about the NFL linebacker's private life can thank ESPN for reopening that door. Josina Anderson reported yesterday on how the NFL's first openly gay player was getting along with his new teammates on the St. Louis Rams, which is a reasonable angle to take as the 2014 season for the rookie gets underway. What wasn't viewed as quite so reasonable, however, was Anderson quoting an anonymous Rams player about Sam's showering routine in the locker room. While Anderson started off with an innocuous quote from teammate Kendall Langford—who said Sam is "simply just one of the guys," according to the New York Post—the words she spoke next are what sparked a social media hubbub, reports Mashable: "Another Rams defensive player told me that 'Sam is respecting our space' and that, from his perspective, he seems to think that Michael Sam is waiting to kind of take a shower, as not to make his teammates feel uncomfortable." Her report incited a rapid response on Twitter, including from Rams defensive end Chris Long. "Dear ESPN, Everyone but you is over it," he tweeted. An ESPN spokesman tweeted today, "ESPN regrets the manner in which we presented our report. Clearly yesterday we collectively failed to meet the standards we have set in reporting on LGBT-related topics in sports."

Michael Sam, the first openly gay player in the NFL, received support from a teammate after an ESPN report by Josina Anderson on Tuesday morning on how the linebacker was adjusting to his life with his new teammates. Sam’s showering habits were included in the report, which drew criticism on social media. In the report, Anderson quoted an anonymous Rams player, who said Sam might be steering clear of the showers to avoid making his teammates uncomfortable. But hours after the report aired, Sam, who survived the first round of cuts and is on the team’s 75-man roster, received support from veteran defensive end Chris Long: Anderson also quoted one of Sam’s teammates, defenseman Kendall Langford, who said the rookie from Missouri is “simply one of the guys.” Responding to a flurry of criticism, ESPN defended its reporting. “In response to recent questions about Sam fitting in with the team, multiple Rams brought up the shower topic and we relayed that information as part of our reporting.” ESPN later apologized. “ESPN regrets the manner in which we presented our report. Clearly yesterday we collectively failed to meet the standards we have set in reporting on LGBT-related topics in sports,” spokesman Josh Krulewitz wrote on Twitter. ||||| Updated: Aug. 27 at 10:10 a.m. ET Have you heard St. Louis Rams rookie Michael Sam is the National Football League's first openly gay player? It was a huge story — back in May. Some people have since grown tired of what they feel is ESPN's unrelenting over-coverage of Sam's every move — antipathy that reached its zenith on Tuesday morning when the network aired a report that focused in part on whether or not Sam has been showering with his new teammates. One of those teammates took to Twitter shortly after to blast the network for its Michael mania. Here's star defensive end Chris Long's tweet, which was immediately retweeted thousands of times, and made the phrase "Dear ESPN" trend worldwide on Twitter: Dear ESPN, Everyone but you is over it. — Chris Long (@JOEL9ONE) August 26, 2014 Coming from Long, that's a big message directed straight at the self-proclaimed "Worldwide Leader in Sports." While Sam is a rookie who's performed well in the pre-season — but is still fighting to make the Rams' final roster — Long was the second-overall pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, and is one of the team's leaders. The report that appears to have been Long's final straw came earlier Tuesday from ESPN’s Josina Anderson, and immediately triggered widespread revulsion from Twitter users. Via The Washington Post, here's a snippet: Another Rams defensive player told me that “Sam is respecting our space” and that, from his perspective, he seems to think that Michael Sam is kind of waiting to take a shower, as not to make his teammates feel uncomfortable. The report also speculated about other reasons why Sam and another teammate had not yet showered together — they include extra reps with coaches, post-practice cardio work, etc. Here's video: UPDATE — Aug. 27, 2014 at 10 a.m. ET: ESPN issued a statement on Wednesday about its Tuesday coverage of Michael Sam:

– A man who took a video of himself after starting a fire that would go on to burn more than 150 square miles of land was sentenced to 20 years in prison and a $60 million fine, the AP reports. According to Reuters, Wayne Huntsman pleaded guilty to three counts of arson Friday for starting the 2014 King Fire in Northern California that took hundreds of firefighters a month to get under control. His sentence was increased because a number of firefighters were injured and 12 homes and dozens of other structures were destroyed. Thousands of residents were displaced by the fire. Huntsman originally pleaded not guilty to the charges. In September 2014, a retired firefighter picked Huntsman up escaping the area of the blaze, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Huntsman showed the man a video of himself standing between two fires. "Listen, I got fire all around me," Huntsman says in the video. "I'm stuck in the middle, babe." The man made a recording of the video and turned it over to the authorities, who arrested Huntsman within days. The DA says Huntsman was trying to look like a hero in the video, but it appeared the fires were purposefully set because there were two of them and Huntsman seemed to be enjoying himself. Meanwhile, Huntsman's sister is accused of killing two young children, whose bodies were found in a storage locker in Redding, California, according to SFist.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A man who originally pleaded not guilty to starting a massive fire two years ago has now admitted he ignited the blaze that burned 80 structures in Northern California. Thirty-nine-year-old Wayne Allen Huntsman pleaded guilty Friday to three counts of felony arson in the September 2014 King Fire. El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Daniel Proud sentenced Huntsman to 20 years in prison and ordered him to pay $60 million in restitution. The King Fire burned 12 homes, 68 other structures and more than 150 square miles of land in the north-central Sierra Nevada mountains. It took 300 firefighters and personnel about a month to control. Huntsman made a video of himself during the fire that District Attorney Vern Pierson says was an attempt to portray himself as a hero. ||||| The interactive transcript could not be loaded.

The case against Wayne Allen Huntsman of Pollock Pines (El Dorado County) was nailed down in part because of a selfie video that Huntsman made at the fire’s origin, the El Dorado County district attorney’s office said Friday. In the video, recorded Sept. 13, 2014, Huntsman is standing in a forested area between two separately lit blazes, which prosecutors construed as a sign that the fire was intentionally set. Although Huntsman says on his video, “I’m stuck in the middle,” he smiles and does not appear to be fearing for his safety. A retired firefighter picked up Huntsman after the blaze began. He saw Huntsman’s selfie and recorded it on his own phone, then turned over his video to law enforcement officials, who arrested Huntsman four days later. Huntsman was also caught on surveillance video, after starting the fire, stealing liquor from a local grocery store, prosecutors said. The fast-moving inferno burned for nearly a month across 97,717 acres of mostly mountainous terrain along Highway 50 in the El Dorado National Forest. Thousands were forced to evacuate. Damages were estimated in the tens of millions. Huntsman is originally from the Santa Cruz area, but he moved to Pollock Pines in June 2013 for work, family members told The Chronicle. He was doing odd jobs, mostly home remodeling and landscaping, and living with his girlfriend. Huntsman has a criminal record that includes convictions for assault with a deadly weapon and grand theft in Santa Cruz County in 1997, public records show. None of his earlier crimes related to arson. Superior Court Judge Daniel Proud sentenced Huntsman to the maximum allowed for three counts of arson with multiple enhancements for causing injury to firefighters and destroying structures, according to the district attorney’s office. Huntsman was also ordered to pay $60 million in restitution. Kurtis Alexander is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer. Email: [email protected] Twitter: @kurtisalexander
– After a Florida woman was shot dead on Jan. 30, her live-in boyfriend told police she was the victim of a home-invasion gone awry. Then, Marion County sheriff's officials say, David Romig twice texted his wife to say he feared he was going to be arrested for Sally Kaufmann-Ruff's death—or, he meant to text his wife. Instead, he texted Detective Damon Baxley, who had interviewed Romig after the incident. The Ocala Star-Banner reports authorities were called to the Dunnellon home just after 2am and found Kaufmann-Ruff, 64, had suffered a gunshot to the head. Romig, 52, described being awoken by a man wearing a head lamp and brandishing a revolver. Romig alleged the intruder had pried the front door open and fled after a struggle, leaving behind potential evidence: an L&M brand cigarette—not one Romig said he or his girlfriend used—and a piece of torn cloth on the door frame. Except an analysis showed Romig's DNA was on the cigarette and cloth, whose straight edges suggested it was cut with scissors, rather than torn. And then there were the texts: "I think they are going to arrest mw [sic]," read one, and "Think they are going to arrest." Romig allegedly told police they were intended for his wife, and he did successfully text her the following, per officials: "I am afraid I did something I don’t remember. ... If I did this I will kill myself." A release from the sheriff's office says Romig "staged the scene ... after he had shot Kaufmann-Ruff during an 'out-of-body' experience." Detectives say he acknowledged Kaufmann-Ruff's daughter is excluded from her will, which benefits only him, reports Click Orlando. He has been charged with second-degree murder and will next appear in court March 20.

David W. Romig called 911 on Jan. 30 at 2 a.m. saying that an "unknown white male" busted down their Dunnellon home front door and shot his 63-year-old girlfriend Sally Kaufman-Ruff in the head, according to the arrest report. When deputies with the Marion County Sheriff's Office arrived, they said Romig pointed out a crowbar near the front door and a partially smoked cigarette on the front porch, that he said he had never seen before. Kaufman-Ruff was found in the master bedroom laying in bed with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Detectives said it appears she was likely shot from several inches away. Romig said he awoke to a man with a headlamp on standing above him and when he struggled with the intruder his girlfriend was accidentally shot, according to the report. A piece of fabric was collected from the front door. Romig said he thought it was torn from the intruder's jacket, according to the report. Romig said he and Kaufman-Ruff had been living together for more than two years. He also said he is the sole beneficiary on her will, that excluded her only daughter, deputies said in the report. On the way home from the hospital later on Jan. 30, Romig sent two text messages that he said were meant for his wife to one of the investigating detectives. "I think they are going to arrest mw [sic]," one read. Romig said he sent them accidentally, because he was nervous, according to the report. Romig's account quickly unraveled when investigators determined that his DNA was found on the cigarette, the door and that the piece of fabric was clearly cut with scissors to make it look like there was a break-in. Romig later texted his wife that he "had a very bad night" and that his girlfriend was shot, but "things don't add up." "I'm afraid I did something I don't remember," Romig said in a text. The suspect later admitted to detectives that he has been suffering from black-outs, having "out-of-body experiences" and that he was hearing voices, according to the report. Romig said he knew he was experiencing a black-out on the night Kaufman-Ruff was killed when he woke up in the kitchen with all the lights on in the house and saw the victim laying in bed with a gunshot wound to the head, detectives said. Romig admitted to detectives that he staged the crime scene to look like a home invasion, then called 911. Romig is charged with premeditated murder, making a false report to law enforcement and tampering with evidence. He is held without bail at the Marion County Jail.

– More than 5,500 women who said they were secretly recorded during pelvic exams by a gynecologist at Johns Hopkins will each receive at least $20,000 as part of a $190 million settlement with the hospital system, the AP reports. WBAL-TV reports that determination letters have been sent to the approximately 9,600 women who said they were victimized by Dr. Nikita Levy at a Johns Hopkins-affiliated clinic in Baltimore. The plaintiffs have been divided into four categories based on the severity of injuries. Citing documents it has obtained, the television station reports that about 8,300 of the plaintiffs will receive money ranging from about $1,800 to about $26,000. Levy killed himself in 2013 after the allegations emerged. Settlement administrators did not return the television station's calls Thursday to confirm the amounts awarded.

Nearly four years after the allegations emerged, the victims are finally learning the amounts of their payments from a class action lawsuit in the case of Dr. Nikita Levy. The Johns Hopkins gynecologist, who killed himself in February 2013, after being accused of secretly photographing and videotaping women during exams. Advertisement Related Content Plaintiffs in Dr. Nikita Levy case will soon get money With more than 9,000 plaintiffs, it has been a long process, but it appears that work to divide up the $190 million in settlement money is complete. A judge approved the settlement more than two years ago. WBAL-TV 11 News has learned the next phase in the process is underway as determination letters were sent to the members of the Levy Settlement Class informing each plaintiff how much she's been awarded. There are 9,600 women in this class action case. "We understand that everyone would like their money as soon as possible and we are trying to accommodate that," retired Judge Irma Raker, part of the allocation team, says in a website video. The website was created to keep the class members up-to-date, the claims adjudicator -- Raker -- posted a video explaining the process and urging patience. "You have to remember, there are 9,600 women in this class action. It's probably one of the biggest, or the biggest class action of its type in the country," Raker said in the video. Settlement administrators and the chairman of the plaintiffs' steering committee for the class action did not return 11 News' calls and emails Thursday to confirm the amounts awarded. But administrators had previously said the plaintiffs would be divided into four categories based on severity of injuries. Documents obtained by 11 News, reportedly sent to plaintiffs, outline the payment allocations for members of four groups. The amounts listed in those documents range from about $1,800 to more than $26,000. - Category one, with 678 members, will receive $1,750 - Category two, with 2,121 members, will receive $11,629 - Category three, with 4,739 members, will receive $20,001 - Category four, with 806 members, will receive $26,048 Regardless of the final amount awarded, administrators have said all the victims will be paid at the same time.

nuclear resonant inelastic x - ray scattering is used to measure the projected partial phonon density of states of materials . a relationship is derived between the low - energy part of this frequency distribution function and the sound velocity of materials . our derivation is valid for harmonic solids with debye - like low - frequency dynamics . this method of sound velocity determination is applied to elemental , composite , and impurity samples which are representative of a wide variety of both crystalline and noncrystalline materials . advantages and limitations of this method are elucidated . mechanical properties form an important part of our understanding of condensed matter . in many areas of science , measurements of sound velocity are used to study materials of both natural occurence and artificial fabrications . for example , in the field of geophysics , the sound velocity is the most direct information we have about the earth s interior . the standard approach to learn about the composition and structure of the earth s interior entails measurements of sound velocities of candidate compounds . the results are then compared to seismological data to exclude or confirm a particular compound . in the following , we will describe the use of nuclear resonant inelastic x - ray scattering ( nrixs ) to measure the velocity of sound . the nrixs method was introduced to probe the lattice dynamics of materials by employing low - energy nuclear resonances . @xcite in nrixs experiments , only signals from nuclear resonance absorption are monitored , and for this reason the extracted quantity is specific to the resonant isotope . this technique provides the phonon excitation spectrum as seen by the probe nuclei , @xcite and in most cases one can extract the partial vibrational frequency distribution , a function often referred to as the partial phonon density of states ( pdos ) . the nrixs method has been applied to various materials , e.g. , thin films and multilayers , @xcite nanoparticles , @xcite crystals with impurities , @xcite organic molecules , @xcite proteins , @xcite samples under high pressures , @xcite and samples of geophysical interests . @xcite most of these samples are compounds , and , while the obtained pdos gives only part of the lattice dynamics , the low - energy portion of the pdos provides the debye sound velocity of the whole sample . we will now show that , due to universal features of acoustic modes of harmonic solids , the low - energy portion of the pdos is related to the debye sound velocity in a simple way . the normalized phonon density of states is defined by @xmath0 where the energy eigenstates of lattice vibrations @xmath1 are labeled by quantum number @xmath2 , and @xmath3 is the total number of atoms in the solid . in the harmonic lattice approximation , a pdos , which is more relevant to nrixs experiments , is given by @xcite @xmath4 where @xmath5 enumerates resonant nuclei , @xmath6 is the total number of resonant nuclei , @xmath7 is a unit vector in the incident photon direction , and @xmath8 are phonon polarization vectors . equation ( [ eq : pdos ] ) shows that the vibrational polarizations are projected onto the incident photon direction and in particular the vibrational modes with polarization perpendicular to the direction of the incident photon do not contribute . in the case of a single crystal , the measured vibrational properties become dependent on the incident photon direction and were called `` projected , '' @xcite whereas in cases of polycrystalline or isotropic samples , the measured spectrum is an average over all directions . for a crystal in which resonant nuclei occupy only equivalent lattice sites , the quantity that can be extracted from nrixs experiments is exactly described by eq . ( [ eq : pdos ] ) . when the resonant nuclei occupy different sites , what can be extracted is an approximation of eq . ( [ eq : pdos ] ) . the approximation is based on an average of phonon spectra for these different lattice sites . the closure conditions of the phonon polarization vectors guarantee the normalization of @xmath9 , i.e. , its integration over all phonon energies is one . the orthonormality and closure conditions are given by @xmath10 where @xmath11 , @xmath12 denote the spatial components . these conditions hold for any harmonic solid , and the polarization vectors have to be specified for every atom in the solid , in contrast to the crystal case , where they can be reduced to a much smaller set for atoms in one unit cell only . the deviation of @xmath13 from @xmath14 is contained in the behavior of the phonon polarization vectors @xmath15 and can be expressed in terms of a modulating function , @xmath16 which we now determine for low - energy vibration modes . in a crystal , the acoustic modes form three branches described by phonon momentum . for disordered solids , we still expect hydrodynamic modes on length scales that are large compared to length scales characterized by inhomogeneities in the material . in the appendix , we discuss the properties of such hydrodynamic modes . our results show that linearly dispersing plane - wave modes exist on long length scales , and that these modes are described by momentum @xmath17 and branch number @xmath18 . energies and atomic displacements associated with these modes take the following form @xmath19 where @xmath20 is the sound velocity , @xmath21 is a normalized polarization vector , and @xmath22 are the atomic positions . the normalization factor @xmath23 can be determined as follows . for a normal mode @xmath2 with energy @xmath1 , the atomic displacements are given by @xcite @xmath24 where @xmath25 are phonon polarization vectors introduced in eq.([eq : pdos ] ) and @xmath26 is the mass of atom @xmath27 . a comparison with eq.([eq : disp ] ) under consideration of the normalization condition eq.([eq : otho ] ) results in @xmath28 , where @xmath29 is the average atomic mass . for the low - energy , hydrodynamic modes , we can therefore write @xmath30 in the small @xmath31 , low - energy regime , we rewrite eq . ( [ eq : pdos ] ) by replacing the summation over phonon modes with an integration , @xmath32 , and we substitute eqs . ( [ eq : disp ] ) and ( [ eq : pol ] ) into eq . ( [ eq : pdos ] ) to obtain @xmath33 where @xmath34 is the mass of the nuclear resonant isotope , and the debye velocity @xmath35 is defined as an average over all sound velocities @xmath36 we see that for small energies , the modulating function becomes energy independent . if we define a projected sound velocity similarly by @xmath37 we obtain the simple relationship @xmath38 for an isotropic sample , the sound velocity does not have directional dependence , and we can further simplify eq . ( [ eq : debyevel ] ) and ( [ eq : paravel ] ) to identify @xmath39 . in the case of a polycrystalline sample , averaging over all nuclear resonant sites in eq . ( [ eq : pdos ] ) is equivalent to averaging eq . ( [ eq : pdosle ] ) over all directions of @xmath40 . thus , in both cases , we have @xmath41 finally , for an isotropic or a polycrystalline sample , in the low - energy regime eq . ( [ eq : pdos ] ) becomes @xmath42 where @xmath43 is the density of atoms . equation ( [ eq : debye ] ) has appeared in a similar form in a nrixs study of myoglobin and related biological compounds . @xcite here we have given a derivation of eqs . ( [ eq : chiave ] ) and ( [ eq : debye ] ) . in addition , eq . ( [ eq : debyepdos ] ) shows the dependence of the modulation function on the photon direction for anisotropic samples . a mean sound velocity " was defined in the context of nrixs in a previous study . @xcite it is identical to @xmath44 for isotopically pure samples , for which the pdos becomes total dos . here we have shown that the sound velocity @xmath44 of a sample in general is obtained by applying a correction factor , the cube root of the modulation factor as given in eq . ( [ eq : chiave ] ) , to the mean sound velocity " of ref . . the pdos of a variety of samples has been measured by nrixs . here we show three examples representing crystals ( bcc iron , hematite ) and materials with point defects ( @xmath45pd@xmath46 ) . the crystalline samples are translationally invariant , and thus for them the basis of modes is in fact given by momentum eigenstates with polarization vectors which are known to obey eq . ( [ eq : pol ] ) explicitly . @xcite while the point - defect case is expressly not translationally invariant , by using the lattice green s function technique , it is still possible to find closed form expressions for the polarization vectors , with eqs . ( [ eq : chiave ] ) and ( [ eq : debye ] ) again being found to follow . we shall describe the details of this specific calculation elsewhere , @xcite while noting here that the modulation to the low - energy part of host lattice dos is found to depend only on the mass ratio even in the event of a force constant change at the defect site . @xcite the low - energy region of the pdos divided by energy squared is displayed for the three samples in fig . [ fig1 ] . bcc iron 95% enriched in is an example of the limiting case where @xmath47 , and nrixs provides the total rather than the partial dos . hematite enriched with represents a situation , in which the resonant nuclei form only a part of the unit cell . the @xmath45pd@xmath46 sample approaches another limiting case in which the nuclear resonant isotopes occupy only a very small portion of lattice sites . in this limit , @xmath48 , the average atomic mass @xmath29 in the above equations is well approximated by the mass of a host lattice atom , and the sound velocity obtained is that of the pure host , rather than of the host / impurity system . these samples thus represent a very broad range of nuclear resonant isotope concentrations . pd@xmath46 , 0.6mev for @xmath49o@xmath50 , and 1mev for bcc iron . [ fig1 ] ] we extracted numerical values for the velocities of sound by averaging @xmath51 obtained from measured data in the region from zero to 5mev according to eq . ( [ eq : debye ] ) . the results are tabulated in table [ tbl : vc ] , where we also compare our values with sound velocities from other sources as explained in the footnotes of the table . for iron and palladium , the results from nrixs measurements are within the range of sound velocities that were obtained by other means . in the case of hematite , our results give clearly a lower value for @xmath35 than is obtained from the measured elastic constants . it is difficult for us to judge the reliability of values for @xmath35 obtained by other methods that usually do not measure @xmath35 directly but rely on post - experimental data averaging . values obtained with the nrixs method seem to be lower or on the lower end of ranges given by other authors . this might be due to the fact that the phonon spectrum up to 5mev ( corresponding to a frequency of 1.2thz ) is used to derive the sound velocity . at such high frequencies , the phonon dispersion may already be nonlinear , which would typically lead to a reduction in the value of the obtained @xmath35 . improvements in energy resolution could make smaller phonon energies accessible , which would potentially provide a better measure of sound velocity . .[tbl : vc]comparison of velocities of sound , together with the factor ( @xmath52 ) in eqs . ( [ eq : chiave ] ) and ( [ eq : debye ] ) . [ cols="^,^,^,^",options="header " , ] we have relied critically on the assumption of debye behavior at small phonon energies . in particular , we require debye behavior to extrapolate to typical sound frequencies ( @xmath53hz ) from the thz range , which is accessible to nrixs . however , in fig . [ fig1 ] , we see deviations from debye behavior , which would correspond to a horizontal line . besides nonlinearities in the phonon dispersion as mentioned above , the removal of the elastic contributions to the nrixs spectra can be a source of systematic uncertainties . @xcite also the nrixs technique relies on harmonic behavior of the sample to extract the pdos from the measured data . @xcite all these possibilities may contribute to the deviations seen in fig . [ fig1 ] . in future studies aimed at low - frequency dynamics , we suggest measuring the resolution function simultaneously by nuclear forward scattering to improve the reliability of peak substraction . in any case , a highly accurate resolution function should be available . besides the peak - subtraction procedure and the energy resolution ( usually defined as fwhm ) , the shape of the resolution function is also of major importance . the access to small excitation energies is greatly improved if the tails of the resolution function can be minimized by design of the x - ray monochromator . @xcite furthermore , difficulties in the peak removal usually become more severe with increasing ratio of elastic to inelastic scattering intensities . in many cases , the relative strength of the elastic scattering is reduced by saturation effects in the sample . @xcite this highly desirable effect is less pronounced for samples with low concentrations of the resonant isotope or in cases of generally weak inelastic scattering , e.g. , at very low temperatures . in addition to the special requirements for data collection near the elastic peak , an accurate measurement of the entire spectrum is equally important to achieve an accurate normalization . we have shown that nuclear resonant isotopes can be used to measure the sound velocity of a solid in the context of the harmonic approximation and debye - like low - frequency dynamics . our approach is valid even for very low concentrations of the nuclear resonant isotope , and therefore the probing nuclei provide information about the host lattice . we expect that the presented method will have significant impact in the scientific area of high - pressure research and , in particular , in the field of geophysics , where sound velocity is of great interest . also the strategic placement of resonant nuclei in artificial structures may provide insight into local atomic motion , which at low energies is thought to influence the electronic noise in nanostructure devices . thus nrixs opens another venue to measure sound velocities of solids and can complement other techniques or even supercede established methods in those cases where they become too demanding or even impossible . this work and use of the advanced photon source are supported by the u.s . department of energy , basic energy sciences , office of science , under contract no . w-31 - 109-eng-38 , and by the state of illinois under heca .

our study of long - wavelength vibrational excitations starts with the continuum version of the equations of motion of a set of harmonically bound atoms , which reads @xmath54 where @xmath55 are the force constant matrices and @xmath56 is the displacement vector of atom @xmath27 for a vibrational mode of energy @xmath57 .we introduce mass and atomic density functions @xmath58 and @xmath59 by @xmath60 where @xmath61 is the position of atom @xmath27 . the continuum version that substitutes eq.([eq : discrete ] ) is then given by @xmath62 where we made the usual assumption that the force constant matrix depends on coordinate differences only .the original intentions to study long - wavelength excitations are served best by introducing fourier transforms , e.g. , @xmath63 $ ] , and eventually expanding for small values of momentum .the transformed eq.([eq : continuum ] ) reads @xmath64 the quantities @xmath65 and @xmath66 are closely related to the structure function @xmath67 that is typically obtained from x - ray or neutron diffraction experiments . for crystals ,these functions are described by a series of very sharp peaks at values given by the reciprocal lattice vectors . disordered or amorphous materials do not produce these sharp peaks with the exception of the @xmath68 maximum which is not related to spatial order .one can assume that some of the salient features of eq.([eq : ftcontinuum ] ) are captured by retaining the @xmath68 maximum only , i.e. , we approximate @xmath69 where @xmath29 and @xmath70 are the average mass and volume per atom . equation ( [ eq : ftcontinuum ] ) simplifies to @xmath71 and describes a class of solutions that should be common for all harmonic solids .the previous equation permits us to label the modes with the value of @xmath17 and a branch index @xmath18 originating from the tensor character of the force - constant matrix , i.e. , @xmath72 .we note that @xmath73 follows from the invariance of the vibrational energy with respect to a displacement identical for all atoms . assuming that the force - constant matrix falls off sufficiently fast with distance an expansion of eq.([eq : scontinuum ] ) in powers of @xmath74 is permissible .the first - order term in this expansion will also vanish under the reasonable assumption of inversion symmetry of the force - constant matrix . for hydrodynamic modes , i.e. , @xmath75, we may therefore use @xmath76 and long - wavelength vibrational excitations are described by a modified eq.([eq : scontinuum ] ) @xmath77 we obtain linearly dispersing modes with energies @xmath78 with sound velocities @xmath20 that depend on the direction of @xmath17 . the matrix @xmath79 is related to the elastic tensor of the material ( see for example ref . ) and is given by @xmath80 @xmath3 is the number of atoms in the sample .the eigenvalues of @xmath79 provide us with the sound velocities , and the corresponding eigenvectors will not depend on @xmath31 . the displacement field for a mode @xmath81is then given by @xmath82 where @xmath21 is a normalized eigenvector of @xmath79 describing the polarization of the mode , and @xmath23 is an appropriately chosen normalization factor .equation ( [ eq : displacement ] ) shows that , even for disordered materials , hydrodynamic modes are equivalent to plane - wave excitations of the atomic displacements .
– Quentin Tarantino says he's no cop-hater, and he's not going to be silenced by threats to boycott his movies. The director tells the Los Angeles Times that despite what police unions calling for a boycott claim, he never said or even implied that all cops are murderers. The boycott "message is very clear. It's to shut me down," he says. "It's to discredit me. It is to intimidate me. It is to shut my mouth, and even more important than that, it is to send a message out to any other prominent person that might feel the need to join that side of the argument." The boycott threat came after Tarantino spoke at an anti-police brutality rally in New York City last month, where he said that when he sees a murder, he "has to call the murderers the murderers." Tarantino tells the Times that he has the constitutional right to protest police brutality and he's not going to back down from it. His new movie, The Hateful Eight, opens on Christmas Day, and a professor of critical studies at USC's School of Cinematic Arts tells the Times that the boycott could actually give it a boost. "Tarantino has always been the kind of figure who has attracted contrarians," Todd Boyd says. “So there aren't too many things that could be better for this film than for law enforcement to try and boycott it." The director of the Fraternal Order of Police tells the New York Post that a "surprise" act of revenge is in the works for the premiere and they "want what we do to him to be a surprise, like the end of his movies."

"What they're doing is pretty obvious," he said of his critics. "Instead of dealing with the incidents of police brutality that those people were bringing up, instead of examining the problem of police brutality in this country, better they single me out. And their message is very clear. It's to shut me down. It's to discredit me. It is to intimidate me. It is to shut my mouth, and even more important than that, it is to send a message out to any other prominent person that might feel the need to join that side of the argument." ||||| Quentin Tarantino offered nothing even close to an apology on Tuesday for calling cops “murderers” — and instead pathetically claimed he has been victimized by police unions. Speaking publicly for the first time since his inflammatory comments at a Washington Square Park rally on Oct. 24, the “Pulp Fiction” ­director insisted his words were all taken out of context. “All cops are not murderers,” Tar­antino told the Los Angeles Times. “I never said that. I never even implied that. “What they’re doing is pretty obvious. Instead of dealing with the incidents of police brutality that those people were bringing up, instead of examining the problem of police brutality in this country, better they single me out. And their message is very clear. It’s to shut me down. It’s to discredit me. It is to intimidate me. It is to shut my mouth and, even more important than that, it is to send a message out to any other prominent person that might feel the need to join that side of the argument.” At the rally against “police terror,” Tarantino said, “When I see murders, I do not stand by . . . I have to call a murder a murder and I have to call the murderers the murderers.” The 52-year-old filmmaker also told the LA Times that he won’t back down in the face of a threatened boycott of his new movie “The Hateful Eight,” to be released Christmas Day. “I’m not being intimidated,” Tarantino said. “Frankly, it feels lousy to have a bunch of police mouthpieces call me a cop hater. I’m not a cop hater. That is a misrepresentation. That is slanderous. That is not how I feel. “But you know, that’s their choice to do that to me,” he continued. “What can I do? I’m not taking back what I said. What I said was the truth. I’m used to people misrepresenting me; I’m used to being misunderstood. What I’d like to think [is] their attack against me is so vicious that they’re revealing themselves. They’re hiding in plain sight.” James Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, is promising a “surprise” act of revenge at the premiere of “Hateful Eight.” “What we do in December is going to depend in large part on what Tarantino does between now and then,” he told The Post. “We don’t want to prepare him. We want what we do to him to be a surprise, like the end of his movies. We will be opportunistic, we will take every opportunity to hurt him in the only area that seems to matter to him and that’s in the economic area.”
we derive microscopically the dynamics associated with the d.c . josephson effect in a superconducting tunnel junction interacting with an arbitrary electromagnetic environment . to do so , we extend to superconducting junctions the so - called @xmath0 theory ( see e.g. ingold and nazarov , http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0508728[arxiv:cond-mat/0508728 ] ) that accurately describes the interaction of a nonsuperconducting tunnel junction with its environment . we show the dynamics of this system is described by a small set of coupled correlation functions that take into account both cooper pair and quasiparticle tunneling . when the phase fluctuations are small the problem is fully solved self - consistently , using and providing the exact linear admittance @xmath1 of the interacting junction . fifty years ago josephson stunned the community when he published @xcite the equations that govern the behavior of superconducting tunnel junctions . these josephson relations , as they became known , link the voltage @xmath2 and the superconducting phase difference @xmath3 across the junction , and the current @xmath4 through it : @xmath5 if @xmath3 is static , @xmath6 , and a nondissipative current @xmath4 flows through the junction , bounded by @xmath7 . this maximum supercurrent @xmath8 ( or the corresponding josephson coupling energy @xmath9 ) was originally predicted to be an intrinsic property of the tunnel junction , depending only on its resistance in the normal state and the superconducting gap of its electrodes @xcite , but not on other details such as the junction s geometry , or its fabrication process . along the years , josephson junctions ( jjs ) have proved invaluable electronic components forming exquisitely sensitive sensors ( e.g. , squid magnetometers , quantum - limited amplifiers ) , metrological volt standard devices , or quantum bits and gates . it is important to note that the first josephson relation was derived assuming that the phase @xmath3 has negligible quantum fluctuations , and it is not obvious why it would be generally valid beyond this situation . because the josephson effect has , among others , metrological applications , the effect of phase fluctuations on josephson tunneling were thoroughly investigated in the 1980s , mostly using path integral formalism @xcite . it was concluded that in most practical experimental situations a jj can indeed be described using the effective josephson hamiltonian @xmath10 that directly corresponds to the first josephson relation , with , however , small corrections due to phase fluctuations that originate in its _ electromagnetic environment _ ( i.e. , the circuit connected to the junction ) . this was checked for instance in the so - called macroscopic quantum tunneling experiments @xcite . more recently , jj - based quantum logic circuits were also shown to be accurately described using the effective josephson hamiltonian @xcite , with their electromagnetic environment partly responsible for their decoherence @xcite . note , however , that some environmental decoherence mechanisms in jj qubits were recently identified that can not be captured within only the effective josephson hamiltonian model @xcite . on the other hand , the environment of a jj can have a more dramatic effect : the phase fluctuations generated by an impedance larger than the resistance quantum @xmath11 are expected to suppress the superconducting character of a jj @xcite , and some experiments have confirmed this prediction @xcite . presently several groups are actively developing nondissipative high impedance environments using 1d arrays of jjs in the search for coherent quantum phase slips @xcite , or to achieve engineering of quantum phase fluctuations @xcite . given the goal , it is questionable whether using the effective josephson hamiltonian is still fully relevant to model these arrays . moreover , such jj arrays implement impedances having several plasma mode resonances which are not readily handled by the available theory . in this letter we provide a general derivation of the josephson coupling in the presence of phase fluctuations generated by an arbitrary electromagnetic environment . our derivation starts from a microscopic description of the tunneling of individual electrons between the superconducting electrodes , and applies the machinery of the so - called @xmath12 theory ( poet ) @xcite . this theory was developed in the 1990s to explain a reduction of differential conductance at low voltage ( also called `` zero - bias anomaly '' ) in nonsuperconducting sub-@xmath13 m tunnel junctions , a phenomenon that is now often referred to as dynamical coulomb blockade . in its original form this theory evaluates the incoherent tunneling rate of electrons properly taking into account the probability @xmath0 that the environment absorbs an energy @xmath14 during a tunnel event . while perturbative in tunneling , this theory is nonperturbative in the strength of the coupling to the environment and it can deal with an arbitrary frequency - dependent linear electromagnetic environment . note that it also applies to incoherent cooper pair tunneling in jjs at finite sub - gap voltages . its predictions were shown to be quantitative in a number of experiments , in particular when the environment consists of resonators @xcite . here , by generalizing poet to the dc josephson effect , a coherent flow of cooper pairs through the junction , we obtain a unified nonperturbative treatment of arbitrary environmental effects in both normal and superconducting tunnel junctions . in this approach we show that one is lead naturally to introduce a self - consistent mean - field electrodynamic response of the junction , something that , as far as we know , has not been done explicitly previously for jjs . in this formulation the junction is systematically and properly combined with the rest of the circuit , resulting in an intuitive picture of the system . in the case when the phase fluctuations are small we work out the linear response of the junction and a simple iterative scheme to evaluate a renormalized @xmath8 and its admittance . as an illustrative example , we work out the self - consistency for a jj in an ohmic environment at zero temperature . in the conclusion we discuss the scope of our results and possible extensions . and derive its effective critical current @xmath15 taking into account both a static ( @xmath3 ) and a fluctuating phase difference @xmath16 driven by the electromagnetic environment . ( b ) as seen from an individual tunnel channel , the environment consists of the impedance @xmath17 of the connecting circuit , of the junction s own capacitance @xmath18 and of the electromagnetic response due to tunneling in the other channels , here described by a linear admittance @xmath1 , but which in the general case is a nonlinear element . ( c ) we solve the problem in the case of an ohmic environment , retaining only the dominant inductive contribution in @xmath19 the circuit we consider , shown in fig . 1a , consists of a pure tunnel element connected in parallel with the junction s geometric capacitor and in series with an arbitrary linear electromagnetic environment with impedance @xmath20 . the hamiltonian of the circuit is @xmath21 where @xmath22 describes the voltage source and @xmath17 in the manner of caldeira and legget @xcite and @xmath23 are the bcs hamiltonians of the junction s electrodes . for the left electrode , for instance , we have @xmath24 where @xmath25 is the spin index , @xmath26 is a composite channel and momentum index for the electrons in the leads and the overbar denotes the opposite - momentum state ( @xmath27 has the same form , with states indexed by @xmath28 instead of @xmath26 ) . finally @xmath29 is the tunneling hamiltonian treated as a perturbation , where the operator @xmath30 transfers an electron from the left to the right electrode . we work in a gauge where the electrodes have real bcs order parameters @xmath31 ( assumed identical in @xmath32 and @xmath33 ) and , consistently , the @xmath34 term here takes care of transferring the electronic charge @xmath35 between the electrodes @xcite . we restrict to zero dc voltage across the junction so that @xmath36 with @xmath3 being the superconducting phase difference across the junction and @xmath16 a zero - mean fluctuating phase operator driven by @xmath17 . by introducing the standard bogoliubons operators @xmath37 ( @xmath38 ) with the usual bcs coherence factors @xmath39 , @xmath40 we can diagonalize @xmath23 , whereas @xmath41 becomes @xmath42 + ( \ell \leftrightharpoons r ) ^{\dag } .\end{aligned}\ ] ] in thermal equilibrium situations the supercurrent through the junction is given by the thermodynamic relation @xmath43 where @xmath44 is the free energy . to lowest order in perturbation theory the change of @xmath44 due to @xmath41 can be cast as @xmath45 with @xmath46 where the angular brackets denote averaging over the unperturbed quasiparticle and environment states that act as bath degrees of freedom whose time evolution is the unperturbed one . a straightforward algebraic calculation gives @xmath47 \label{htcorr}\end{aligned}\ ] ] with @xmath48 where a fermion operator with a minus exponent means an annihilation operator . the @xmath49 terms in eq . ( [ htcorr ] ) are each related to the transfer of two spin - conjugate electrons in a given direction , i.e. , a whole cooper pair with charge @xmath50 , they thus correspond to the josephson effect . note also that they come with the @xmath51 and @xmath52 factors that correspond to the anomalous green s function of the electrodes , carrying the essence of superconductivity . the @xmath3-independent terms , on the contrary , are related to a back - and - forth transfer of an electron and correspond to ordinary quasiparticle tunneling , the only processes remaining in the normal state . these processes do not transfer a net charge through the junction but they still couple to the phase fluctuations and contribute to the dynamics of the jj . while these processes are obviously disregarded when jjs are modeled using only the effective josephson hamiltonian ( e.g. most jj - based qubit literature ) , the full ambegaokar - eckern - schn effective action for the jj @xcite [ whose form is closely related to eq . ( [ htcorr ] ) ] allows accounting for them in path integral formalism . in the present approach we handle these terms using only two - point real - time correlators and sparing the use of path integrals . the correlators @xmath53 that accompany quasiparticle tunneling are those encountered in the standard poet [ specifically , @xmath54 is the inverse fourier transform of @xmath0 ] , while the cooper pair tunneling comes with distinct correlators @xmath56 . for simplicity we here assume phase fluctuations are symmetric , _ i.e. _ @xmath57 and @xmath58 ( we discuss the limit of validity of this assumption in the supplemental material @xcite ) . going to a continuum of states in the electrodes , from eq . ( [ htcorr ] ) we obtain the exact result at lowest order in tunneling @xmath59 \label{htht}\ ] ] where @xmath60 is the normal state tunnel resistance of the junction and @xmath61 are , respectively , the inverse fourier transforms of @xmath62 , @xmath63 , @xmath64 with @xmath65 the bcs density of states , @xmath66 the heavyside step and @xmath67 the occupation probability of the bogoliubov quasiparticles , which need not be thermal . here both electrodes are assumed identical but the general case could also be handled . note that in principle the gap @xmath31 of the electrodes should be self - consistently evaluated from @xmath67 , an effect which becomes important at temperatures comparable to the critical temperature or in strong nonequilibrium . if we first ignore a possible @xmath3 dependence of @xmath68 , then , by combining eqs . ( [ is ] ) , ( [ deltaf ] ) , and ( [ htht ] ) one obtains a generalization of the first josephson relation with an effective critical current @xmath69 \right| \label{i0eff1}\ ] ] which remains valid beyond thermal equilibrium . this expression generalizes poet in real - time formulation @xcite . in the case where phase fluctuations are negligible @xmath70 , and one recovers all standard results on jj , such as , _ e.g. _ , the temperature dependence of the critical current @xcite . hence @xmath71 is a kernel giving a renormalization of the critical current with respect to the standard ambegaokar - baratoff value @xcite . we will see below that @xmath68 should in principle depend on @xmath3 ( albeit weakly in usual cases ) , thus yielding additional terms that cause a departure from the purely sinusoidal current - phase relation predicted by josephson . we now consider finite phase fluctuations and first assume that the degrees of freedom generating these fluctuations can be regarded as a linear impedance @xmath72 as in the usual poet @xcite . such fluctuations are then gaussian and consequently @xmath68 can be expressed in terms of only the two - point correlator @xmath73 . as a consequence of the fluctuation - dissipation theorem @xmath74 can in turn be evaluated from the spectral density of the environment . namely @xmath75 here we have also introduced the usual poet notation @xmath76 @xcite . replacing @xmath77 in eq . ( [ i0eff1 ] ) we can pull out of the integral the renormalization factor @xmath78 , which plays a major role in the following . note that , unless @xmath79 or smaller , @xmath80 ( signaling thermal or quantum phase diffusion ) , yielding @xmath81 and thus @xmath82 this might seem surprising since in most cases when one measures a jj , it is connected to a circuit that contains normal metal at room temperature ( with finite dc resistance ) , but its critical current is nevertheless measured finite . the apparent paradox is resolved when one considers the jj as being part of its own electromagnetic environment [ see fig . 1(b ) ] : a superconducting jj perfectly shunts the rest of the circuit at zero frequency , preventing phase diffusion and the divergence of @xmath83 . more importantly , doing so is actually the only way to enforce an amplitude and a dynamics of the phase fluctuations in the system that are actually consistent with the presence of the junction , unlike in standard poet @xcite . this inclusion of the junction in its own environment can also be justified microscopically : a typical metallic tunnel junction contains a very large number @xmath84 of independent landauer channels that only interact through their common phase . thus , as seen from each individual channel , the other channels form a ( _ a priori _ nonlinear ) bath whose response is that of the full junction ( up to corrections of order @xmath85 ) and which are treated like the rest of the environment . let us stress also that in typical tunnel junctions even if the junction s conductance is large , its individual channels remain very weakly transmissive . hence , lowest order perturbation in tunneling is sufficient and all the complications in the behavior of the jj arise solely from the electromagnetic interaction among the channels and with the environment , which treat here in a self - consistent mean - field manner . such a self - consistent mean - field approach of poet has been successfully checked experimentally in low - resistance normal - state junctions @xcite , and , in that case , when the junction is described as a linear element ( see below ) , this was shown to correspond to a self - consistent harmonic approximation that minimizes the free energy in the path integral description of the system @xcite . let us finally remark that in this mean - field approach the superconducting character of the jj gives rise to a chicken - and - egg situation that requires a self - consistent solution , much like for the value of @xmath31 in bcs theory itself . we now close the loop by working out the self - consistency in the linear regime assumed in this part . within this hypothesis , the response of the junction can be obtained from a generalized fluctuation - dissipation relation @xcite and is expressed as an admittance @xmath86 that is exact at lowest order in perturbation @xcite . in this expression @xmath87 is the effective josephson inductance and @xmath88 is the correlator of the current operator @xmath89=@xmath90 through the junction . this latter definition implies that @xmath91 , readily obtained from eq . ( [ htht ] ) . in the self - consistent approach we discuss here we shall then replace @xmath92^{-1 } \label{zeff}\ ] ] in eq . ( [ sdelta ] ) , where @xmath18 is the junction capacitance and @xmath93 the impedance of the external circuit as seen from the junction [ see fig.1(b ) ] . thus we are able to obtain the full dynamics of the system ( and @xmath15 as a by - product ) by solving the self - consistency defined by eqs . ( [ htht ] ) , ( [ y ] ) , ( [ zeff ] ) , ( [ sdelta ] ) , ( [ c++ ] ) . this can , for instance , be done by iterating from an initial guess such as @xmath94 , @xmath95 being the josephson inductance in the absence of environment . in order to be valid the iterated solution must be consistent with the assumption of linear behavior of the effective environment , i.e. , @xmath96 so that phase fluctuations do not feel the nonlinearity of the jj . in practice this means @xmath15 should not be reduced more than a few percent with respect to @xmath8 for this linear approach to be valid . if this later criterion if fulfilled , then the solution obtained is essentially the exact dynamics of the junction at lowest order in tunneling . simplifying approximations can be made or not depending on the value of the `` plasma frequency '' @xmath97 defined as the resonance frequency of the purely inductive first term of eq . ( [ y ] ) with the junction s capacitance @xmath18 . if @xmath98 is significantly smaller than @xmath99 , then at low temperature it is a good approximation to keep in @xmath1 only the inductive term , that precisely suppresses the divergence of @xmath100 . this is justified because the integral in eq . ( [ y ] ) has only a slight capacitive contribution at frequencies @xmath101 with dissipation setting in only at frequencies close to or above @xmath102 . with this simplification @xmath72 reduces to the impedance of an lc oscillator resonating at @xmath98 damped by the external impedance @xmath17 . furthermore , still in the case when @xmath103 , the characteristic time scale of phase fluctuations ( @xmath104 ) is significantly longer than that of @xmath105 which is @xmath106 . then , in eqs . ( [ i0eff1 ] ) , ( [ c++ ] ) we can take the short - time limit @xmath107 , yielding the simple renormalization @xmath108 . a similar renormalization of the josephson coupling was obtained at @xmath109 in refs . @xcite . we see here that this is valid only when @xmath102 is the fastest dynamics in the problem and that the opposite situation can not be treated correctly in approaches starting from the effective josephson hamiltonian . let us now fully work out an example in the above simplifying assumption @xmath103 , @xmath108 , and further restricting to the `` ohmic '' case where @xmath110 [ fig.1(c ) ] and zero temperature . then the effective environment reduces to an rlc circuit with impedance @xmath111 for which @xmath112 can be calculated analytically and from which we derive the self - consistency equation @xmath113 where @xmath114 would be the quality factor of the plasma oscillation at @xmath109 , in absence of renormalization . again , valid solutions must satisfy eq . ( [ linearvalid ] ) , that is , @xmath115 . however this always fails at @xmath116 where @xmath98 vanishes and where a treatment beyond linear response is needed . when the approximation is valid ( away from the pathological points ) we predict that the renormalization of @xmath8 is different at @xmath109 and @xmath117 , leading to a slightly anharmonic current - phase relation . this anharmonicity is a generic feature in the self - consistent approach because it causes @xmath118(t ) in eq . ( [ htht ] ) to have a @xmath3 dependence through the dynamical response of the jj . in conclusion we have extended the framework of the poet to address the effect of an arbitrary electromagnetic environment on the josephson effect in metallic tunnel junctions . doing so we reached a self - consistent description of the josephon effect , sheding new light on the interaction of a jj with its environment , including its dynamics . this notably predicts that the celebrated first josephson relation generically departs from a sinusoid when the impedance of its environment is increased , a fact that should be verifiable experimentally . for strictly dc josephson effect and small phase fluctuations , the self - consistency is fully worked out using the exact linear admittance of the interacting jj , a quantity that is accessible to measurements and that should be useful for quantum circuit engineering . we think more work in this direction could extend this approach to non - dc situations and non - gaussian phase fluctuations @xcite . this would provide the general `` circuit laws '' for josephson junctions , a quantum nonlinear generalization of the classical `` impedance combination laws .

– Add this to the list of things to have pre-wedding jitters about: the possibility of an impromptu math quiz. The Times of India has the unusual story of a woman from India's Uttar Pradesh state who was supposed to marry on Wednesday. But Mohar Singh's daughter, Lovely, had apparently grown suspicious about her would-be husband's education, and so she decided to put him to the mathematical test on the big day. Her cousins asked Ram Baran what 15 + 6 is, and the flummoxed groom stammered out "17." He was promptly abandoned, just as the marriage was to be deemed official, the Times of India reports. Baran's family attempted to cajole Lovely into going through with what appears to have been an arranged marriage, but it just didn't add up for either her or her family. "Even a first grader can answer this," her father said, per the AP. The Times reports Mohar Singh accused the groom's family of keeping "us in [the] dark about the youth's qualification. … It was a matter of social prestige as well. We have been cheated." The incident underscores the reality of many arranged marriages in India, where the bride and groom barely get to know each other before the big day, the AP notes. In Ram and Lovely's case, the cops intervened after the bride's family went to police; both families ultimately returned all gifts and jewels that had been presented before the wedding. Something similar happened in India last month when an angry bride married one of her guests after discovering something she hadn't known about her husband-to-be.

KANPUR: A groom had to return home without his bride from a marriage hall in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur Dehat district after he failed to solve a simple mathematical problem.The bride-to-be got suspicious of the groom's educational qualification. Her cousins asked the groom to solve simple mathematical question, what is 15+6. The groom failed to give the correct answer and the girl refused to marry him on Wednesday.According to information, groom Ram Baran had come from Etawah district to the marriage hall to marry Lovely, daughter of Mohar Singh. The two families and other villagers gathered at the venue.The bride and her cousins received a shock when the groom said 15+6 is 17 instead of 21. This angered the girl, who refused to marry the youth.Just as the wedding was about to be solemnised, the bride walked away saying she would not marry an uneducated person. The groom's family tried to persuade her into going ahead with the ceremony but she refused to budge and walked out of the mandap."Any class I student must be able to solve the simple problem asked by us. The family of the groom had kept us in dark about the youth's qualification," Singh said. "It was a very embarrassing situation for all of us as we had come with all preparations and it was a matter of social prestige as well. We have been cheated," he added.The bride's relatives informed the police. The police did not take action against the groom and his family as both the parties reached at a compromise after intervention of some prominent citizens of the area. According to the compromise, the bride and groom's families returned gifts including jewellery exchanged during pre-marriage rituals."Both families have amicably resolved the matter," a police officer said. ||||| NEW DELHI (AP) — An Indian bride has walked out of her wedding ceremony after her groom-to-be failed to solve a simple math problem, police said Friday. The bride tested the groom on his math skills and when he got the sum wrong, she walked out. The question she asked: How much is 15 plus six? His reply: 17. The incident took place late Wednesday in Rasoolabad village near the industrial town of Kanpur in northern Uttar Pradesh state, local police officer Rakesh Kumar said Friday. The groom's family tried persuading the bride to return, but she refused. She said the groom had misled them about his education. "The groom's family kept us in the dark about his poor education," said Mohar Singh, the bride's father. "Even a first grader can answer this." Local police mediated between the families and both sides returned all the gifts and jewelry that had been exchanged before the wedding, Kumar said. Last month, another bride in Uttar Pradesh married a wedding guest after her groom-to-be had a seizure and collapsed at the wedding venue. The groom's family had not revealed that the groom was epileptic. While the groom was rushed to a hospital in Rampur town, the bride asked one of the wedding guests to step in and married him. Most marriages in India are arranged by the families of the bride and groom. Except for brief meetings, the couple rarely gets to know each other before the nuptials.
– The humble sea urchin may teach us how to make knives that never need to be sharpened. Scientists think they've figured out how the creature manages to eat through rock and still maintain teeth that never go dull, reports National Geographic. "It is one of the very few structures in nature that self-sharpen," says one researcher of each 2-centimeter tooth. Theoretically, scientists could mimic the composition—a complex arrangement of calcite crystals and weaker organic material—for humans tools. Dvice.com sums it up nicely: "The secret is how the teeth are constructed: layers of calcite biocrystals held together with calcite nanocement are interspersed with softer layers of organic material, and when the teeth start to get dull on the surface, the top organic layer flakes off, exposing a brand new and freshly sharp layer of calcite. Chew, flake, repeat, and you’ve got infinitely sharp teeth."

Sea urchin tooth tech could make knives that never go dull Sea urchin teeth. Nom nom nom. Sea urchins make homes for themselves by chewing through rocks, and the fact that their teeth manage stay sharp while doing this may show us humans how to make self-sharpening knives. After literally decades of research, scientists have figured out how sea urchins can eat their way through rocks while keeping their teeth razor sharp. The secret is how the teeth are constructed: layers of calcite biocrystals held together with calcite nanocement are interspersed with softer layers of organic material, and when the teeth start to get dull on the surface, the top organic layer flakes off, exposing a brand new and freshly sharp layer of calcite. Chew, flake, repeat, and you've got infinitely sharp teeth. Now that scientists know how the urchins do it, they say that it's at least theoretically possible to create a material with the same properties that could be made into knives and other tools that would sharpen themselves with use. Of course, we can't (yet) make knives that keep growing back like the urchin's teeth do, but at least you'd have something that stayed razor sharp until you wore it down to a nub. Science Daily, via Telegraph For the latest tech stories, follow us on Twitter at @dvice ||||| Sea urchins are perhaps best known for their armor of spines. But their mouths may be even more daunting—urchin teeth can literally chew through stone without getting dull. (Related: "Eyeless Urchins 'See' With Spines.") Now scientists are solving the mystery of how urchins keep their teeth so keen, and the research could lead to self-sharpening tools. Sea urchins bore through rock to carve out nooks, where they can protect themselves from waves and predators. To learn how urchin teeth stay sharp despite all that grinding, researchers analyzed the roughly 0.8-inch-long (2-centimeter-long) choppers of the California purple sea urchin. Using high-resolution x-ray imaging, the investigators found that the teeth are mosaics of two kinds of calcite crystals: fibers and curved plates. The crystal shapes are arranged crosswise to each other and are bound together with a superhard cement of calcite nanoparticles. Between the crystals are layers of weaker organic material. By striking the teeth with microscopic, diamond-tipped probes, the scientists found that the teeth break along these organic layers. The scientists think the organics are predetermined weak spots in the teeth that allow parts of the material to "tear" away, similar to perforations in a sheet of paper. This means the teeth, which grow continuously, can regularly shed damaged areas to keep a well-honed edge. "Such an exquisite structure has evolved over 200 million years, and it can perform far better than manmade, nonoptimized tools," said study co-author Pupa Gilbert, a biophysicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Inspired by these discoveries, we can think of super-robust and fracture-resistant nanocements, or layered nanotips to do nanogrinding that rarely need replacing." Much remains uncertain, though, such as the exact composition of the organic layers or the separate functions of the crystalline plates and fibers. "Natural biominerals are wonderful, and we have a lot to learn from them," Gilbert said.
– President Obama arrived in Japan today to open his weeklong summit in Asia. At a news conference with Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, Obama acknowledged that relations with Tokyo have been strained and agreed that it's time to modernize the nations' 50-year-old treaty. "Our effort will be focused on revitalizing that friendship,” he said. The newly elected Democratic Party has sought a more "equal" partnership with the US, notes the New York Times. Hatoyama confirmed that Japan will no longer refuel supply ships for Afghanistan in the Indian Ocean, but he said the nation would help with noncombat operations such as rebuilding schools, notes AP. He also pledged cooperation on issues such as climate change and nuclear proliferation. Obama will give a major address on US-Asia relations tomorrow.

But at every turn of his address, Mr. Obama projected a more conciliatory America, which is trying to break from the past. On Myanmar, for example, he pledged that he would “be the first American leader to meet with all 10 Asean leaders.” Mr. Obama will be at the table in Singapore on Sunday with the leaders of Myanmar and the other countries that make up the Association of Southeast Asian Nations , an economic group. Photo And while Mr. Obama spoke at length about human rights, he never connected the pursuit of such rights specifically to China and Tibet , where Beijing-backed authorities have clamped down on religious freedom. Instead, Mr. Obama, clearly seeking to avoid alienating Beijing on the eve of his inaugural visit to China, struck broader themes, saying that “supporting human rights provides lasting security that cannot be purchased any other way.” As he has on many of his trips abroad, Mr. Obama painted a picture of an America willing to learn from its mistakes. In particular, he said, the United States and Asia must grow out of the imbalance of American consumerism and Asian reliance on the United States as an export market, a cycle he called imbalanced. “One of the important lessons this recession has taught us is the limits of depending primarily on American consumers and Asian exports to drive growth,” he said. “We have now reached one of those rare inflection points in history where we have the opportunity to take a different path.” Photo Mr. Obama seemed to speak directly to the new Japanese government’s efforts to build a tighter Asian economic sphere, and used his own history to deliver the message: Don’t exclude the United States. “My own life is part of that story,” he said. “I am an American president who was born in Hawaii and lived in Indonesia as a boy. My sister Maya was born in Jakarta and later married a Chinese-Canadian. My mother spent nearly a decade working in the villages of Southeast Asia, helping women buy a sewing machine or an education that might give them a foothold in the world economy.” “So,” he added, “the Pacific rim has helped shape my view of the world.” He even spoke of his first trip to Japan as a boy—“As a child, I was more focused on the matcha ice cream ,” he said. That drew laughs from the audience, which gave him a standing ovation both before and after his speech. ||||| Japan's Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama says a civilian contribution to security in Afghanistan would be more appropriate for his country than continuing its role in providing Indian Ocean refueling assistance to the United States. Speaking at a joint news conference Friday with President Barack Obama, Hatoyama said, "I think we have to consider the meaning of this logistical support and we've come to think there's another type of assistance that is more appropriate for Afghanistan." One area of involvement that Hatoyama cited was possible vocational training for Afghan soldiers "so they do not have to rely on their guns" and can "seek a more fulfilling life." He said the time had come to provide "an alternative package" to replace the refueling mission.
– An effort to loosen Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's grip on the mortgage market will come at a price: pricier mortgages. The two announced late Monday that, at the insistence of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, they will increase their fees to borrowers without impeccable credit (designated as those with scores of 680 to 760 out of 850) or those making a down payment of less than 20%. The Wall Street Journal provides an example: A borrower making a 10% down payment and carrying a credit score of 735 would currently pay 0.75% of the loan amount in fees on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. In 2014, that would rise to 2%, a fee that the Journal calculates would raise the mortgage rate some 0.4 percentage points. And even those making a down payment of more than 20% will see the fees rise if they're in the so-so credit zone. The changes go live in March, but may start showing up earlier. The reason for the move: to make it more competitive for private investors, who "target a higher rate of return" and charge higher fees, to back mortgages. Fannie and Freddie back about two-thirds of America's mortgages, and a FHFA official says even the new rates will be lower than private ones. The Journal pairs that with some gloomy responses, such as this from Lewis Ranieri, credited with co-inventing the mortgage-backed security. He thinks the private sector isn't in a position to lend more yet, so "you're just making housing less affordable." Meanwhile, Daily Finance provides a brief respite from the gloom, reporting that, as they do each holiday season, Fannie and Freddie won't evict residents of foreclosed single-family homes between today and Jan. 3—a move that could affect as many as 11,000 families.

Consumers can expect to pay more to get a mortgage next year, the result of changes meant to reduce the role that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac play in the market. The mortgage giants said late Monday that, at the direction of their regulator, they will charge higher fees on loans to borrowers who don't make large down payments or don't have high credit scores—a group that represents a large share of home buyers. Such fees are... ||||| This Christmas holiday, a number of families will be allowed to stay in their homes for a short while longer. Mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have both announced a two-week moratorium on evictions over the Christmas and New Year's holiday. Though the gesture seems benevolent and considerate, does it really mean that much? A brief respite From Dec. 18 through Jan. 3, residents of foreclosed single-family homes and two- to four-unit dwellings will be allowed to stay without disturbance from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The moratorium will only stand for actual evictions, as other administrative functions and proceedings will continue during the two-week period. In addition, the local eviction companies will be allowed to continue their administrative duties to prepare for the eviction at the end of the break. By looking at the most recent data from both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the firms have foreclosed on an average of 58,000 homes per quarter. The two-week moratorium may give up to 11,000 families nationwide the time they need to reach out to friends and family to make new living arrangements. Nothing new The moratorium is not a new occurrence for the mortgage giants. Each year they announce the same respite for beleaguered families. Though the families appreciate the gesture, investors shouldn't view the event as a real kindness that would cost the companies anything. Since the administrative and procedural steps will continue on schedule, the only difference to Freddie and Fannie will be the physical acquisition of the foreclosed property. Though Fannie and Freddie wouldn't be able to sell the foreclosed property before the eviction, that would possibly pose a slight delay for the firms, but the Christmas holiday is historically a slow time for property sales -- giving the GSEs very little downside for offering the moratorium. Season of giving Announcing the moratorium has given both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the opportunity to give some advice to troubled homeowners. Both firms have expressed their desire that borrowers who find themselves in trouble should seek help as soon as possible. Terry Edwards, chief operating officer for Fannie Mae, said, "We encourage any homeowner who is having difficulty making their mortgage payment to reach out for help right away. Fannie Mae will continue to help borrowers avoid foreclosure whenever possible." Both GSEs have good records of helping troubled borrowers avoid foreclosure, with Freddie Mac saying eight out of 10 borrowers have been able to stay in their homes with the foreclosure alternatives it provides. Hopefully the extra time the families get from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae's moratorium will be enough to allow them a happy holiday season. For investors, the mortgage giants' generosity should give you a little bit of the warm and fuzzies, without any concerns about their operations.
– Drew Carey has offered $10,000 to help find a group of Cleveland-area teenagers who humiliated an autistic boy with their twisted take on the ALS ice bucket challenge. The 14-year-old's mother contacted police after discovering that the group of teens had used the boy's phone to record a video of them dumping a bucket of urine, feces, and spit on him and telling him it was part of the challenge, reports the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Comedian and Price Is Right host Carey, a Cleveland native, says that if police find the teens behind the "horrendous" prank themselves and the reward isn't needed, he will give the money to the Autism Speaks group instead, Mashable reports. The reward more than tripled last night as more celebrities followed Carey's lead, another Plain Dealer story reports. After ex-View host Jenny McCarthy pledged $10,000, her new husband Donnie Wahlberg offered another $10,000, and Montel Williams also promised to contribute.

BAY VILLAGE, Ohio – Actor and comedian Drew Carey offered to help Bay Village police find the perpetrators behind a prank played on an autistic teenager. Via Twitter, Carey said that if the police want to start a reward fund to find the people who organized the prank, he would donate $10,000 to it. Carey, a Cleveland native, followed up by saying if police found the pranksters without a reward, he would donate to Autism Speaks. The 14-year-old boy's mother found a cell phone video of several Bay High School students dumping a bucket filled with urine and feces on her son in a twisted rendition of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The video was posted on Instagram. Bay Village Police Chief Mark Spaetzel called the prank "heinous," and said charges would be brought as soon as police identify the teens who organized the prank. Bay Village School District faculty sent a letter to students and parents this week informing them of the situation and saying the actions of the teenagers in the video do not reflect the majority of their student body. The high school organized a vigil for the teen prior to a Friday night football game. If the Bay Village PD wants to start a reward fund to find who did this, contact me.

– Former President Obama had "birthers" to contend with when he was president. Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has deathers. At a conference in Poland on Sunday, the leader addressed persistent rumors that he had died and been replaced by a lookalike or a clone, reports Reuters. "It's real me, I assure you. I will soon celebrate my 76th birthday and I will still go strong," Buhari said when asked about rumors circulated in social media by political rivals that he was really a Sudanese lookalike called Jubril. The president, who is up for re-election next February called the rumors "ignorant and irreligious" and said "a lot of people" hoped that he had died last year, when he spent five months in the UK being treated for an undisclosed illness. "If I am getting harassed by anyone, it is my grandchildren, who are getting too many," he quipped. His office circulated the response in an email titled "It’s Real Me, President Buhari Responds to Cloning Allegation," the Guardian reports. (A Kim Jong Un lookalike was detained ahead of this year's summit in Singapore.)

– Chris Brown, that bastion of good judgement, is once again courting controversy. The singer attended a Halloween party thrown by Rihanna, but the latest Brown-Rihanna meeting isn't what has fans peeved—it's his costume choice. E! reports that Brown and four friends went as a posse of Arab-style terrorists, complete with beards, turbans, and weapons, as evidenced by an Instagram shot and Brown's accompanying tweet: "Ain't nobody F--king wit my clique!!! #ohb." Sure, it's just a costume, but "given his history, you wouldn't think Chris Brown would want to associate himself with violence and destruction," writes Rebecca Macatee. Meanwhile, Leann Rimes stirred up her own batch of controversy by dressing as Sandy from Grease—days after the storm of the same name. US Weekly has pictures.

hirsutism is defined as excess growth of terminal hair in females , distributed in an androgen - dependent pattern . it is present in approximately 7% of women , and can lead to severe implications on their quality of life . while several causes have been implicated in hirsutism development , androgenic factors are the most prevalent , accounting for more than 80% of the cases , and polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common sole disorder for hirsutism . iatrogenic causes for hirsutism , including medications , are considered as an uncommon cause , although the exact incidence is not well defined . we present a case of severe hirsutism developing after treatment with isotretinoin , a widely prescribed drug in dermatology practice . her past medical history included thymoma that was treated with irradiation 10 years prior to her current consultation . the patient was diagnosed with papulopustular rosacea , and treatment was initiated with isotretinoin 20 mg daily for 1-month . following good clinical response and lack of side - effects , the dose was increased to 30 mg daily . two months later , the patient developed excess hair growth on her face , located mainly to the temples and the forehead . the patient denied other symptoms of virilization , including change of voice or growth of hair in other locations . androgen levels ( including testosterone , dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and 4 androstenedione ) were within the normal limits . physical examination revealed the presence of coarse black hairs on her bilateral temples and sides of the forehead [ figure 1 ] . coarse black hair on the temples ( a ) and side of the forehead ( b ) in a patient treated with isotretinoin for rosacea isotretinoin is a widely prescribed medication in dermatology practice , mainly for the treatment of severe nodulocystic acne . while hirsutism is considered to be one of the possible side effects of isotretinoin therapy , its exact frequency is not defined . to the best of our knowledge , only one case has been reported before , and such occurrence has not been reported in the dermatology literature . our patient did not show additional features of hyperandrogenism , and a recent study also demonstrated that isotretinoin therapy does not seem to alter androgen levels in acne patients . interestingly , the distribution of excess facial hair is reminiscent of the distribution of hirsutism seen in females following the topical application of minoxidil as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia . furthermore in these cases , the most common sites for excessive hair growth are the forehead and sideburns . an additional patient that was observed by us , a 22-year - old female patient who was treated with isotretinoin for cystic acne , also developed facial hirsutism on her forehead , chin , and cheeks [ figure 2a ] . in this case , facial hirsutism resolved spontaneously several months after cessation of isotretinoin treatment [ figure 2b ] . facial hirsutism in a 22-year - old female patient treated with isotretinoin for cystic acne ( a ) , that resolved spontaneously several months after cessation of treatment ( b ) there are no conflicts of interest .
– You'd think bright red lettering would be enough for a passenger to distinguish a plane's emergency exit from a bathroom door—not to mention the window offering a clear view outside. Yet a first-time air traveler in China says she mistook a cabin door for the entrance to a toilet on a China Southern Airlines flight on Friday, causing an emergency slide to deploy, reports Mashable. Thankfully the flight to Shenzhen was still grounded at Chongqing Airport, where it had to remain for two hours. Passengers who were removed from the flight say a loud hissing noise could be heard when the 50-year-old touched the emergency door's handle. The woman later told officials that she had wanted to avoid the line for the bathroom and thought the door led to another toilet. An investigation is ongoing, but the woman didn't return to the plane, reports Shanghaiist. A man opened an emergency exit on a China Southern Airlines flight at the same airport earlier this month, per Mashable. His excuse: he wanted fresh air.

China Southern Airlines might want to invest in a more engaging safety precaution video. The latest in a series of emergency exit door mishaps on the airline saw a 50-year-old Chinese woman open the emergency hatch because she mistook it for the toilet door, local reports say. In her haste to use the bathroom, she even managed to deploy the emergency slide, as the plane was getting ready to take off from Chongqing Airport, reported The Beijing News. SEE ALSO: People are abusing delicate cherry blossom trees for the perfect spring selfie The flight last Friday was bound for Shenzhen, China, and experienced a two hour delay, as a result. According to several passengers on flight CZ3456, who took to their Weibo accounts to recount the incident, a loud hissing sound was heard and people started to panic. Image: weibo The crew proceeded to evacuate the plane, so airport staff could investigate the matter and fix the problem. Whoops. Image: weibo The unnamed passenger later told staff that it was her first time onboard an airplane and she had thought that there was another bathroom behind the emergency exit door. She was trying to avoid the snaking queue for the real bathroom when the incident took place. Although no one was injured, airport authorities are investigating the disturbance. Chinese civil aviation law dictates that passengers found to endanger flight safety can be held criminally liable.

According to the offending passenger, he was just trying to "get some fresh air" and had mistaken the door handle as a lever to open the plane's windows, reported Chengdu Commercial News. The plane was carrying a total of 130 passengers and was bound for Urumqi, China. Due to the incident, the flight was delayed for over an hour. While the crew investigated the matter, airport ground staff proceeded to shut the door from the outside and carried out last-minute safety checks.

– Criminals hoping for a share of Bernie Ecclestone's fortune have reportedly kidnapped the racing billionaire's mother-in-law in Brazil. Local media say the criminals, in touch with the 85-year-old Formula One head, are demanding $36.5 million—the highest ransom ever in a Brazilian kidnapping, per the Telegraph. The BBC reports 67-year-old Aparecida Schunck was seized near her Sao Paulo home on Friday. Police and Ecclestone have yet to comment. Schunck is the mother of Ecclestone's 38-year-old wife, Fabiana Flosi, whom Ecclestone married in 2012. That same year, a man was jailed for threatening to abduct one of Ecclestone's daughters if he wasn't paid $262,500, reports ESPN; Ecclestone, one of the UK's richest men, is worth an estimated $3.1 billion. Similar demands were once made daily in Brazil—there were 321 kidnappings in Sao Paolo alone in 2002—but are now less common due to a police anti-kidnap division, reports Reuters.

News reports in Brazil say the mother-in-law of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has been kidnapped in Sao Paulo for a ransom of $36.5 million (£28 million). The reports, first seen in Brazilian magazine Veja, say Aparecida Schnuck, the 67-year-old mother of Ecclestone's third wife Fabiana Flosi, was seized in the Interlagos area on Friday. Veja states the kidnappers have demanded the ransom be paid in pounds sterling and be divided into four bags of cash. If the financial demand figure is accurate it would be the largest ransomin Brazil's history. The abduction has occurred with less than two weeks to go until the start of the Olympic Games in Rio, with Brazil currently experiencing its worst economic crisis for decades. Ecclestone met Flosi, now 38, at the 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix and the pair were married three years later. It is not the first time Ecclestone has been involved in a kidnapping situation -- in 2012 Martin Peckham was jailed for five years are threatening to abduct Ecclestone's daughter Tamara unless he was paid £200,000. ||||| The pair married in 2012 after Mr Ecclestone, 85, divorced his then wife Slavica Radic. Mr Ecclestone is worth an estimated US$3.1 billion. The kidnappers were said to be in contact with the Ecclestone family and had demanded R$120 million (£27.84 million), to be paid in sterling in four separate bags. The details were confirmed by other publications, which had held off reporting the abduction. Security services in São Paulo said they did not comment on kidnapping cases for the safety of the victim and could not confirm the reports. The Ecclestone family also declined to comment. However, it was described as the biggest ever kidnapping ransom in the country amid heightened security concerns ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympics, which start in less than two weeks. In the host city, a New Zealand athlete reported being “express kidnapped” by police officers at the weekend and forced to withdraw money from an ATM as a bribe. ||||| SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The mother-in-law of Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone has been kidnapped in Sao Paulo and criminals are demanding 120 million reais ($36.5 million) in ransom, according to reports in a leading Brazilian news magazine. Aparecida Schunck, the mother of Ecclestone’s wife, Fabiana Flosi, was seized on Friday night, Veja and other news organizations reported. It did not give more details, and local police could not be reached to confirm the reports. Ecclestone, whom Forbes magazine estimates is worth $3.1 billion - along with his family - and one of the most powerful men in sport, married Flosi in 2012, three years after meeting her at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Ecclestone, who is now 85, divorced his then wife of 25 years, Croatian model Slavica Radic, in order to marry the young Brazilian. The couple now live in England. Kidnapping was common in Brazil a decade ago with several people seized each day, often for sums of just a few hundred dollars. A crackdown by police, including the formation of a special anti-kidnap division, reduced the number considerably, and the crime has become much rarer. Brazil is currently in the midst of its worst economic crisis in almost a century.

gynaecomastia refers to enlargement of male breast ( s ) due to benign proliferation of glandular tissue . it is caused by excessive estrogen ( stimulatory hormone ) in the form of increased estrogen / androgen ratio . gynaecomastia may be due to various reasonsandstudies have shown that 25% cases are due to persistent pubertal gynecomastia , 10%-25% are drug - induced and 25% are idiopathic . the serious adverse reactions during isoniazid therapy are rare and include hepatitis , peripheral neuropathy , cutaneous reactions and mental changes etc . although isoniazid has also been reported to cause gynecomastia , the cases are fairly rare.[36 ] the present case describes gynecomastia due to isoniazid therapy . a 45-year - old male smoker , nonalcoholic presented with complaints of cough , expectoration , low - grade fever , and decreased appetite . past history revealed pulmonary tuberculosis two years back and was treated with complete course of antituberculosis treatment . on further evaluation , he was diagnosed to have sputum positive pulmonary tuberculosis . the patient was treated with rifampicin 450 mg , isoniazid 300 mg , pyrazinamide 1500 mg , and ethambutol 800 mg , once daily . pyrazinamide and ethambutol were stopped after the initial two months . after four months , while on isoniazid and rifampicin , the patient felt mild pain in the left mammary region , which aggravated on touching and on lying on the left side . all laboratory investigations such as complete blood count , liver function tests , renal function tests were within normal limits . chest x - ray revealed a patchy consolidation on right upper lung field . on examination , a round lump ( 5 cm 4 cm ) was visible , which was tender , soft and not fixed to underlying tissues . the secondary sexual characters and the external genitalia were evaluated and found to be normal . antituberculous regimen except for isoniazid was given and his breast swelling and tenderness resolved slowly within 1 month . patient completed a 9-months course of antituberculous treatment and is now on follow - up . gynaecomastia is one of the most common breast problems in men and was first described by paulus aegineta ( ad 625 - 690 ) , who thought it was due to formation of fat . it can occur due to numerous causes including developmental gynecomastia , congenital causes like klinefelter syndrome , hermaphroditism , enzyme defects of testosterone production , acquired causes such as trauma , infection , torsion ( twisted testicles ) , radiation , mumps , chemotherapy , malignancies such as bronchogenic carcinoma , alcoholism , systemic causes like congenital adrenal hyperplasia , cirrhosis , renal failure , thyrotoxicosis , and medicines . clinically significant gynecomastia caused by drugs are common and may be due to an impaired balance in the serum estrogen to androgen ratio or a rise in prolactin level . isoniazid causes gynecomastia by altering the vitamin b6 complex activation in liver , leading to altered estrogen - androgen metabolism . it has also been postulated that isoniazid probably acts by phenomenon called refeeding gynaecomastia , which is supposed to be caused by restoration of weight , gonadotrophin secretion and gonadal functions .
– The big news out of Congress today is that the House passed a bill to authorize the building of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. In terms of getting the pipeline built, the vote doesn't mean much, observes the New York Times. But in terms of the Senate runoff in Louisiana, it looms large. The House measure approved today (as expected) was sponsored by Republican Bill Cassidy, who faces Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu in that Dec. 6 runoff, reports the Washington Post. Both favor the pipeline and are trying to impress the voters back home. Landrieu's test comes Tuesday, when the Senate votes. If she can get 60 votes to avoid a filibuster, the measure goes straight to President Obama's desk. As of now, it's uncertain whether she'll succeed, and even if she does, President Obama seems all but certain to veto it, reports Politico. The Hill agrees, citing Obama's "strong signals" that he wants to wait for a federal review to be completed. It adds that a veto "could deal a blow to Landrieu's chances in the runoff." For the record, the House vote was 252-161, with 31 Democrats joining Republicans. Every Republican voted in favor, except for libertarian-leaning Justin Amash of Michigan.

House passes Keystone bill — all eyes shift to Senate As expected, the House easily passed a bill to approve the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday — setting the stage for drama next week in the Senate, where supporters are inching close to the filibuster-proof majority needed to send the measure to President Barack Obama’s desk. The White House hasn’t issued an official statement on the bill but has given every indication that Obama would probably veto it. Story Continued Below Friday’s House vote was 252-161. Supporters included 31 House Democrats — but not Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who publicly backs the pipeline. Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash voted “present.” (Also on POLITICO: GOP rules change may hit Ryan) The Senate on Tuesday will take up identical Keystone legislation, which is being promoted heavily by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) in advance of her Dec. 6 runoff election. But under a deal with Republicans, the bill that clears the Senate would be the House version sponsored by her runoff opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-La.). As of Friday afternoon, Keystone supporters could count on backing from 59 senators, including every Republican senator and 14 Democrats. The latest was Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), whom Landrieu listed as a supporter during a conference call with reporters Friday afternoon. The pro-Keystone side is still waiting for word on whether Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) or Angus King (I-Maine) will come down on their side. Sen. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), an avowed “no” on the bill as recently as Thursday, is also facing pressure to switch sides. (Also on POLITICO: Bennet brings Senate's pro-Keystone count to 59) One senator previously seen as on the fence, Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar, said Friday that she’s voting no. During a news conference in Myanmar earlier Friday, Obama scoffed at Keystone supporters’ arguments that the Alberta-to-Texas oil pipeline would be a major economic boon. “I have to constantly push back against the idea that Keystone is either a massive jobs bill for the U.S. or is somehow lowering gas prices,” Obama said during his joint appearance with dissident leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The president also seemed to endorse the argument — pushed by Keystone opponents like billionaire Tom Steyer — that the oil moving through the pipeline would end up being exported abroad. “Understand what the project is, it will provide the ability for Canada to pump their oil and send it through their land down to the Gulf where it will be sold everywhere else,” he said. ||||| Please enable cookies on your web browser in order to continue.

– The owners of a Rhode Island farmhouse depicted in the 2013 horror film The Conjuring are suing Warner Bros., saying it's created a real-life nightmare for them. Norma Sutcliffe and her husband are suing the filmmaker and others—including people who've put up videos of her home on YouTube, WHDH reports—who they say have made a "mockery" of their Harrisville home since the movie hit the big screen. They claim they'll never see peace and privacy because of the film, which centers on paranormal investigators helping a family that moves into a secluded farmhouse. "Ever since the movie came out, we've been harassed, trespassed, stalked, and besieged," Sutcliffe tells the Boston Globe. "They come at all times of the day. Last Saturday, I called police at 3:30am because there was a whole group of them outside the house. It's horrendous." Sutcliffe tells WPRO that, without ever talking to her or her husband about making the movie, the filmmakers used the real names of the previous owners, as well as the location of the home, in the film, making it easy for people to find. She says they've posted signs to keep trespassers at bay, but people keep coming onto the property (and they say they've got online videos showing just that). "I live my life at the window, my entire time I'm in this house," she says. "I don't even lay down anymore." A Warner Bros. rep said Monday that the company hadn't seen the lawsuit, in which the couple is seeking unspecified monetary damages and a security system, the Globe notes. "It won't end," Sutcliffe says. "It's like [the Amityville Horror home]. Can you imagine the horror of trying to sell this house?"

By Kim Kalunian, WPRO News The owners of the Harrisville farm house whose haunted history is depicted in the 2013 film “The Conjuring” are being plagued by unwanted visitors – and not the supernatural kind. Norma Sutcliffe says she and her husband are kept awake at night by trespassers who peer into their windows and sneak onto their property, trying to get a glimpse inside their home. Now they’re suing Warner Brothers. “The movie industry just didn’t care,” Sutcliffe told WPRO in an interview last week. She said no one from Warner Brothers approached her or her husband prior to making the so-called “true life” movie about their home. She said because the movie creators used the real names of the previous owners and the actual location of her home in the film, people were easily able to find where she lived. Since then, the people haven’t stopped coming. RELATED: “It really, really has taken away our entire sense of peace [and] privacy,” said Sutcliffe, who said some people have become confrontational with her when she asks them to leave her land. She has signs posted to try and keep people at bay, but even that doesn’t work. “I live my life at the window, my entire time I’m in this house, I don’t even lay down anymore,” she said. Now she wants Warner Brothers to help her and her husband regain their sense of security. She said she and her husband want to stay at their beloved home of 27 years and would like to get a full security system to try and protect it. She said she knows life won’t ever be the way it was before the movie, but she wants to see if they can restore their sense of peace. Sutcliffe also has another gripe with Warner Brothers: she says the whole film is a fabrication and her home isn’t in the least bit haunted. “We’ve been victimized by a huge industry that just doesn’t care,” she said. “That’s the problem – this stigma will be on this house forever.” ||||| The couple who live in the house that inspired the horror movie "The Conjuring" are suing Warner Brothers, claiming the movie has done nothing but cause problems for them. Norma Sutcliffe said dozens of overzealous fans trespass on her property each month. "They somehow feel that they have a right to be on this property by any means that they choose," said Sutcliffe. "It's the worry of that one or two that could be more serious. And that's what we live with every day." Sutcliffe said she has put up "No Trespassing" signs on her property and uses motion detection alarms, but nothing has stopped fans from coming on her property. She also claimed that never knew "The Conjuring" was going to be a movie, saying nothing in the film is true. Sutcliffe and her husband are seeking an unspecified amount of damages and a security plan for them and their home. Other defendants named in the suit include people who went to the house and filmed videos that they posted on YouTube. (Copyright (c) 2015 Sunbeam Television. All Rights Reserved.

– A Hawaii man claims that a false alert about incoming ballistic missiles issued in that state earlier this year caused him to have a heart attack. On Jan. 13, Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency fired off an alert to cellphones warning, “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill.” A lawsuit filed Tuesday says James Sean Shields and Brenda Reichel, both listed as plaintiffs, “believed the message to be true and were extremely frightened and thought they were going to die,” NBC reports. According to the suit, the pair, who lived in Honolulu, were heading to Sandy Beach when the alert came, per KGMB. “If they were going to die,” the suit says, “They might as well die together on the beach.” So they continued to the beach. Once they arrived, they began to call loved ones.” After calling his kids, Shields began to have severe chest pains, per CBS. He went to a clinic, where he suffered cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. Around the same time, some 30 minutes after the missile alert, the state sent another message saying the alert was sent in error. Per KGMB, the suit says that Shields hadn’t had any heart conditions previously. Vern T. Miyagi, former Emergency Management Agency administrator, as well as unnamed state employees are named in the suit, which seeks unspecified damages. “We’re going to reserve any comment until we have had a chance to review the claims," a state attorney tells CBS. According to reports, an elderly man fell, a 37-year-old woman had a car accident, and a 37-year-old woman called 911 with anxiety in connection to the false alarm. (This man claims that licorice caused his heart problems.)

HONOLULU -- A man who suffered a heart attack shortly after Hawaii mistakenly issued an alert about a ballistic missile filed a lawsuit against the state on Tuesday. The false missile alert and the state's failure to cancel it in a timely manner was a substantial factor in causing James Sean Shields' heart attack on Jan. 13, the lawsuit said. His girlfriend Brenda Reichel joined the lawsuit, having suffered "emotional upset" from watching him almost die on several occasions. Their lawsuit names the state of Hawaii and the then-administrator of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, Vern Miyagi. The lawsuit also names unidentified state employees, individuals and entities responsible for the missile alert. The suit seeks unspecified damages. "We're going to reserve any comment until we have had a chance to review the claims," said Richard Rapoza, a spokesman for the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency State attorney general spokesman Krishna F. Jayaram said the office will review the complaint carefully and respond in due course. Miyagi declined to comment. A Hawaii Emergency Management Agency employee mistakenly sent the missile alert to cellphones and broadcasters on Jan. 13, triggering widespread panic until the agency sent another message 38 minutes later notifying people it was a false alarm. The lawsuit recounts how the couple was heading from their townhome in Hawaii Kai to Sandy Beach on that Saturday morning when they received the alert on their cellphones. "Both plaintiffs believe this message to be true and were extremely frightened and thought they were shortly going to die," the lawsuit said. This smartphone screen capture shows a false incoming ballistic missile emergency alert sent from the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency system on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018. Caleb Jones / AP They decided if they were going to die, they might as well die together on the beach, the lawsuit said. Reichel's son, who is in the Hawaii Army National Guard, called her saying the threat was real and asked what they planned to do to seek shelter. The couple called their loved ones as they drove to the beach. Shields began to feel a severe and painful burning in his chest after he called his son and daughter. Shortly after, he went to a community clinic, where he suffered cardiac arrest. A doctor resuscitated him, while arriving paramedics assisted him further. He was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction or heart attack after he arrived at Straub Hospital, the lawsuit said. CBS affiliate KGMB-TV reports that paramedics responded to three other incidents that day that the patients or members of their family blamed on the missile alert. The other incidents were an 89-year-old man who fell, a 37-year-old woman in a car accident and a 38-year-old woman who was experiencing anxiety, KGMB-TV reports. ||||| “There are probably thousands of people out there who suffered either financial or physical injuries as a result of what happened," Rosenberg said. "I’m aware, for example, of several car accidents that occurred on the day that the missile alert came up because people were rushing around trying to either get home or get to loved ones or get as far away from the downtown area as possible. So there are a number of car accidents. Those, in my opinion, are all attributable to the state.”
– A small Swiss museum is ready to take on a huge collection of art looted by the Nazis—and the mammoth task of finding the rightful owners of the paintings. Insiders tell the Wall Street Journal that the Kunstmuseum Bern is preparing to accept the $1.3 billion collection of Cornelius Gurlitt, who died in May—not long after his hoard was discovered at his Munich home—and unexpectedly made the museum his sole heir. If the museum does accept the collection, heirs of Holocaust victims could receive restitution in a matter of days. Gurlitt, the son of Hitler's art dealer, made a deal with German authorities to return art known to have been looted to present-day heirs. Sources say Gurlitt decided to leave the collection, much of which had been deemed "degenerate" by the Nazis, to the Swiss because he was unhappy about how he was treated by German authorities. But the German government, which has been under pressure to return stolen artwork, will be glad to see the scandal end, the Journal notes. One potential hiccup could be a psychiatric report that found Gurlitt was in no fit state to make a will—he was paranoid and believed Nazis had been hunting him since the 1960s to recover the art, according to reports in the German press—but it's not likely to be an issue unless the museum decides against taking the collection, causing the art to be distributed among Gurlitt's distant relatives, Deutsche Welle reports.

It could have all been so simple. Shortly before his death, the son of art collector Hildebrand Gurlitt willed his massive art collection - which is still is police custody - to a Swiss museum. The hundreds of paintings and drawings, which include Nazi-looted art that once belonged to Jewish collectors, would be relocated to a legally neutral country. In Gurlitt's trove, the so-called "degenerate art" - works by Jewish artists deemed culturally unacceptable by the Nazis - would be permanently loaned to German museums. In addition, the German task force, under the direction of attorney Ingeborg Berggreen-Merkel, would be permitted to continue its provenience research, in order to determine which items from the Gurlitt collection had been looted during the Nazi period and should be returned to their Jewish heirs. When the more than 1,500 works, worth millions of euros, were uncovered in Gurlitt's Munich residence and his Salzburg house in fall of 2013, questions arose that poked deep into Germany's shameful past and renewed the debate of how Nazi-looted art and artifacts should be legally dealt with three-quarters of a century later. The Gurlitt case, however, seemed to be neatly resolved and shelved - until German newspaper "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported Monday that Cornelius Gurlitt's will may not be legally binding. Diagnosis: paranoia Cornelius Gurlitt died in May at the age of 81 According to the "Süddeutsche Zeitung," a psychiatric examination indicates that Gurlitt was not mentally stable enough to complete a valid will. Helmut Hausner, lawyer and head physician at the Center for Psychiatry in Cham, in Bavaria, compiled the 48 page report. Cornelius Gurlitt allegedly suffered from "paranoia," which voids his "freedom to decide" while composing his will. Gurlitt is said to have felt that he's been hunted by Nazis since the 1960s, believing that they wanted to steal the paintings he'd inherited from his father. According to the "Süddeutsche Zeitung," Hausner based his findings on documents and letters from Gurlitt's estate. Will not to be contested The psychiatric examination was commissioned by two of Gurlitt's legal heirs. Cousins Dietrich Gurlitt and Uta Werner were not mentioned in the will, though they've said they don't plan to contest the document. The Museum of Fine Arts Bern also has no plans to obtain a certificate of inheritance, according to the news report. "Without an application for a certificate of inheritance, there is no reason in the case of a notarized will for the court to review the competency of the deceased to write a will," wrote the "Süddeutsche Zeitung." The Bern museum plans to announce on November 26 whether it will accept the inheritance of Cornelius Gurlitt, who passed away on May 6. Should the museum take the collection, the psychiatric report may be quickly forgotten. ||||| BERN, Switzerland—A small art museum in the Swiss capital is preparing to take possession of more than 1,000 artworks bequeathed to it by the son of one of Hitler’s main art dealers, unshackling Germany from an embarrassing burden that has weighed on it for a year. Barring any last-minute legal objections, the Kunstmuseum Bern is expected to decide as early as Saturday to accept the estate of the late Cornelius Gurlitt, according to three people familiar with the museum board’s discussions. ...
– Following a warning missile yesterday, Israel has launched further attacks on Syria in response to Syrian mortar rounds that strayed across the border. Israel says its tanks managed "direct hits" on "Syrian mobile artillery" today, the AP reports. Meanwhile, dozens of Syrians have fled into Turkey after a warplane bombed a rebel stronghold near the border. The Syrian plane's attacks landed just yards away from the border fence, Reuters reports, as helicopters launched attacks nearby. Some 120,000 registered Syrian refugees are now in Turkey, which is considering a Patriot missile defense to keep the conflict outside its borders—and is getting a helping hand from NATO. "NATO as an organization will do what it takes to protect and defend Turkey, our ally," says the organization's secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who applauded a new alliance forged between opposition groups. That coalition is now hurrying to achieve recognition from the Arab League, a "first step," according to coalition leader Mouaz al-Khatib, before gathering support from Arab and Western "Friends of Syria" as well as the UN.

CEYLANPINAR, Turkey A Syrian warplane bombed the rebel-held town of Ras al-Ain on Monday, just meters (yards) from the Turkish frontier, sending scores of civilians fleeing for safety into Turkey. Helicopters also strafed targets near the town, which fell to rebels on Thursday during an advance into Syria's mixed Arab and Kurdish northeast. There was no word on casualties. The jet struck within meters (yards) of the border fence that divides Ras al-Ain from the Turkish settlement of Ceylanpinar, sending up plumes of black smoke. A Reuters reporter in Ceylanpinar said the plane flew right along the border and appeared at one point to have entered Turkish airspace. It was not clear what the bomb struck, but scores of civilians fled the area, scrambling over the fence into Turkey. To Ankara's alarm, some 9,000 Syrians arrived in one 24-hour period last week, swelling to over 120,000 the number of registered refugees in Turkish camps, with winter setting in. Turkey is becoming increasingly concerned about security along its border with Syria, in an area of the southeast where Ankara is also fighting an emboldened Kurdish insurgency. Turkey says it is talking to its NATO allies about the possible deployment of Patriot surface-to-air missiles to guard against a spillover of Syria's 19-month-old conflict. Such a move could also be a prelude to enforcing a no-fly zone in Syria to limit the reach of President Bashar al-Assad's air power, although Western powers have steered clear of this. Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannon to keep people on the Turkish side away from the border fence. In Ceylanpinar, anxious residents crowded outside a teahouse to watch the bombing. "I thought the Turkish government said it wouldn't allow these helicopters to come so close to the border," said one Turk who declined to be named. "Look, they're coming inside our border." Ras al-Ain, 600 km (375 miles) from Damascus, is part of Syria's northeastern oil-producing province of Hasaka, home to many of Syria's million-strong Kurdish minority. Syrian Kurds have largely stayed away from the anti-Assad revolt and fear that the mostly Sunni Muslim Arab rebels will ignore their aspirations for autonomy in any post-Assad era.

In this Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012 photo, activists collect garbage from the streets of Aleppo, Syria. Three months after Free Syrian Army fighters brought the war to Aleppo, street cleaning and garbage... (Associated Press) The military says that Israeli tanks opened fire on targets in Syria on Monday after the mortar round landed in an open area in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. Israeli military officials say "Syrian mobile artillery" was hit. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity under military guidelines, gave no further details. The incident marked the second straight day that Israel has responded to fire from Syria. The mortars are believed to be coming from fighting in Syria's civil war, and Israel says the shells do not appear to be aimed at Israeli targets. Nonetheless, Israel has promised a tough response if the fire continues.

– Those waiting to upgrade their iPhones can expect to see the new options on Sept. 12. The Wall Street Journal reports that as the date for the next Apple product unveiling. Assuming that's the case—last-minute production glitches could throw off the schedule—customers should be able to order about 10 days afterward. Apple is expected to offer updated versions of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but most eyes will be on the new iPhone 8, rumored to be an ambitious upgrade to mark the phone's 10th anniversary. "At this point, it's no secret what the iPhone 8 will bring to the table," notes a post at BGR, ticking off features such as an OLED display, advanced facial recognition, and wireless charging. In addition to the phones, Apple also is expected to unveil an upgraded Apple Watch and Apple TV. (Expect to pony up for the iPhone 8—it's expected to be the most expensive iPhone yet, with some reports suggesting a price of up to $1,400.)

Dow Jones is reporting that Apple will unveil its 2017 iPhone lineup at a special event scheduled for Tuesday, September 12. While Apple has yet to issue official invites for the event, the September 12th date does align with previous rumors that recently emerged over the past few days. Assuming that the September 12 date is in fact accurate, Apple in just about two weeks will introduce a brand new iPhone 7s and an iPhone 7s Plus. Of course, it goes without saying that the main attraction at Apple’s upcoming event will be the highly anticipated iPhone 8, a device which may very well usher in the largest iPhone refresh Apple has ever seen. At this point, it’s no secret what the iPhone 8 will bring to the table. According to a number of credible sources, the iPhone 8 will feature a edgeless OLED display and will incorporate advanced facial recognition technology. What’s interesting, though, is that the inclusion of facial recognition technology might see Apple remove Touch ID altogether. From what we can gather so far, Apple initially wanted to embed the Touch ID sensor underneath the OLED display itself, only to abandon this approach after encountering a yield issues during initial production runs. As for other iPhone 8 features we can expect to see, Apple’s next-gen device will likely incorporate a new wireless charging feature. Though Android smartphones have had wireless charging for quite some time, it’s nice to see Apple finally deciding to join the party. On a related note, a recent iPhone 8 rumor claims that wireless charging on Apple’s next-gen device will not be up to par with what some Android smartphone owners already enjoy. As we covered earlier, rumor has it that the iPhone 8 — along with Apple’s iPhone 7s lineup — will only support Qi’s slower wireless charging standard. As for some other iPhone 8 tidbits worth mentioning, it’s believed that the entry-level iPhone 8 will sport 64GB of storage, with more premium models offering users 256GB and 512GB of storage. Price wise, The New York Times recently published a report indicating that the entry-level iPhone 8 will start at $999, easily making it the most expensive iPhone model ever released. Lastly, we’ve also seen rumors claiming that pre-orders for the iPhone 8 will open up on Friday, September 15 ahead of a worldwide launch on Friday, September 22, two dates which fit in nicely with the aforementioned September 12th unveiling. New iPhones aside, Apple on September 12 will also unveil a revamped version of the Apple Watch along with a brand new 4K capable Apple TV. Update: The Wall Street Journal also has a report corroborating the September 12th date, adding that the event will be held in the 1,000-seat Steve Jobs Theater located at the company’s new spaceship campus.

The company is expected to unveil three iPhones, according to other people familiar with its plans. Those include a showcase iPhone to mark the product’s 10th anniversary that is larger and pricier and features an edge-to-edge display and facial-recognition technology, as well as updates...
having defined the protein nature of antibodies under the tutelage of oswald avery , michael heidelberger was the first to apply mathematics to the reaction of antibodies and their antigens ( the precipitin reaction ) . heidelberger 's calculations launched decades of research that helped reveal the specificity , function , and origin of antibodies .

heidelberger and his postdoctoral fellow forrest kendall who had been rendered one handed ( but , by all accounts , no less dextrous ) by a farm threshing machine took advantage of purified bacterial polysaccharides ( isolated during their earlier studies ) for their quantitative experiments . they incubated varying proportions of purified antigen and antibody and determined the nitrogen content ( i.e. , antibody content ) of the resulting precipitate . the data derived from these assays showed that the precipitin reaction could be expressed based on simple equations derived from the laws of mass action and that antibodies and antigens were multivalent . when they repeated the experiment with whole serum , their calculations held up , thus assuring them that their equations were not exclusively applicable to purified solutions ( 1,2 ) . this was all very well for antibodies to polysaccharides , noted heidelberger in a 1979 article , but what about those elicited by the vast numbers of protein antigens ? ( 3 ) . as n had not yet been discovered , heidelberger and kendall instead used a colorful trick to distinguish antigen - derived nitrogen from antibody - derived nitrogen . hen egg albumin against which they raised specific antibodies in rabbits ( 4 ) . the amount of antigen - derived nitrogen in the redissolved precipitate could then be determined by comparing its color ( by eye , as colorimeters did not yet exist ) with solutions containing known concentrations of the dye ; the remainder of the total nitrogen content was attributed to the antibody ( 5 ) . heidelberger later took on his first graduate student , elvin kabat . together , they helped settle a long - standing debate concerning whether serum precipitins and agglutinins ( antibodies that agglutinate bacteria ) were the same or different . at the time , many people thought that these distinct functional properties of antibacterial antiserum could be ascribed to separate entities . returning to the pneumococcal bacteria , the duo showed that precipitins and agglutinins were present in identical amounts in antipneumococcal serum . reduction of one activity by adsorbing the serum with a bacterial or polysaccharide solution resulted in an equivalent reduction in the other activity , suggesting that the two functions were properties of the same antibody molecules ( 6 ) . kabat went on to show that antibodies in serum came in two sizes large and small ( now known as igm and igg)based on their mass and sedimentation rate ( 7 ) . heidelberger 's work , said former colleague herman eisner ( massachusetts institute of technology ) in a 2001 article , changed the concept of the antibody from an essentially ill - defined set of serum activities to a protein molecule , measurable in conventional chemical units whose recognition of antigens could be analyzed in molecular terms heidelberger , who was also a talented musician and linguist , worked in the lab until his death at age 103 . at his 100th birthday party , he was reportedly asked how many papers he had published in his lifetime . three hundred and four , he answered , adding slyly , so far

150 gev , the measured data points cluster in a narrow linear band . i.e. @xmath12 is approximately linear in w and has a weak dependence on @xmath13 . + 2 ) for higher values of w , @xmath12 is dependent on @xmath13 . the high @xmath13 data differs from the lower @xmath13 data which seems to reach a local plateau , resulting in a @xmath14 which is almost constant as a function of w. the features of the data at low w are compatible with a dominance of the bfkl pomeron@xcite in the small @xmath11 domain of @xmath15 . this is readily seen when we write @xcite the bfkl generated structure function f^bfkl_2(x_b , q^2)=_f e^2_f @xmath16 where @xmath17 denotes the unknown normalization of the gluon distribution at @xmath18 . the value of @xmath19 is given by@xcite @xmath20 in the following we assume that @xmath19 = 0.5 , which corresponds to a resonable value of @xmath21 . at small values of @xmath1 , @xmath22 , so we can rewrite eq.(1 ) in the form f_2(x_b , q^2 ) e^- the above expression reproduces the qualitative @xmath14 features listed for the lower w , but fails to reproduce the required high energy characteristics . to improve the `` theoretical '' behaviour of @xmath14 at higher values of w , we introduce the shadowing correction@xcite , illustrated in fig.2 . the dis structure function can be represented as f_2(x_b , q^2)=f^bfkl_2 ( x_b , q^2)+f_2(x_b , q^2 ) where @xmath23 represents the changes in the bfkl structure function which result from screening . we shall elaborate on the details of the screened diagram calculation , shown in fig.2 , later . our discussion is based on the main results of ref.@xcite which are summarized as follows : the dominant contribution of interest comes from the exchange of two bfkl ladders ( pomerons ) , while the upper blob of fig.2 is suitably given by the glap@xcite dis structure function . the integration over @xmath24 ( see notations in fig.2 ) results in the contribution f_2 ( x_b , q^2)= - _ f e^2_f \ { } ^- @xmath25 where we have absorbed all nonperturbative qcd contributions in the phenomenological triple `` ladder '' vertex @xmath26 . the minus sign in eq.(4 ) reflects the shadowing origin of this contribution . eq.(4 ) can also be derived from the calculation of the diffraction dissociation cross section using the agk cutting rules @xcite , which lead to the relation @xcite f_2 = -f^d_2 we note that @xmath27 , in the above equation , is related to the total integrated diffractive dis cross section . namely , to the two dis single diffraction channels , as well as the dis double and central diffraction . it has recently been suggested that these are quite large@xcite@xcite . the restriction implied by eq.(5 ) hinders our ability to reconstruct `` theoretically '' , the experimental high energy behaviour of @xmath12 . the bfkl approach , which qualitatively reproduces the low energy features , fails to do so at high energies . we conclude from this that the necessary corrections , and therefore the diffractive component , must be quite large . as we shall see , when discussing the results of our calculation , we require that @xmath28 . this requirement is not in contradiction to the meagre dis experimental information presently available , allowing one to check @xmath29 . both zeus@xcite and h1@xcite collaborations find a sizeable diffractive component in their @xmath30 photoproduction studies . in dis , only single diffraction at the @xmath31 vertex has been measured@xcite@xcite , and the ratio of the measured diffraction to the total dis cross section is about 0.15 . estimates of the non measured diffractive channels are model dependent . irrespective of our detailed estimate of the unmeasured channels , the overall ratio obtained , is sufficiently large to justify our approach . as stated , we take @xmath32 . seemingly , with value of @xmath19 we reach the unitarity limit@xcite , and expect the diffractive channel to vanish . as s - channel unitarity is not built into this formalism , we can take @xmath19 values even larger than 0.5 , provided that unitarity corrections , such as screening , are incorporated in the calculation . absorbing all the unknown factors in a new phenomenological constant @xmath33 we obtain f_2(x_b , q^2)=g_0 \ { exp [ - ] @xmath34 we have added a ( small ) constant c to account for the remnant non bfkl contributions . we now turn to a more detailed discussion of the diagram shown in fig.2 . our motivation is three fold : + 1 ) we wish to better comprehend the complicated calculation of bartels , lotter and wuesthoff@xcite and its consequences . + 2 ) we need to clarify how trustworthy our perturbative qcd calculation is . + 3 ) we need to adjust the results to the relevant kinematic domain at hera . we use the expression given for our diagram in ref.@xcite f_2 = -^_0 d ^q^2_q^2_0 f^glap_2 ( , ) ^2 the integration over @xmath35 in the above expression leads to an infrared divergency as @xmath36 . however , the bfkl pomeron is associated with an anomalous dimension @xmath37 , and thus we get eq.(1 ) for which the bfkl gluon distribution is given by x_p g_bfkl(x_p , k^2)= @xmath38 ( ) ^_0e^- substituting eq.(8 ) in eq.(7 ) , we rewrite eq.(7 ) in a more compact form using new variables @xmath39 , @xmath40 , @xmath41 and @xmath42 . this yields f_2 = - ^y_b_0 d y_p ^r_q_0 d r f_2^glap ( , ) e^ 2 _ 0 y_p - where @xmath43 and @xmath44 . we wish to stress that the infrared divergence of the above integral should be studied in more detail . to this end we consider the situation where @xmath45 and @xmath46 are sufficiently large so that we can use the solution of the glap evolution equation in the region of small @xmath1 to assess @xmath47 in eq.(9 ) . we obtain f_2^glap = ae^2 we fix @xmath21 so as to perform our calculations in a way consistent with the bfkl equation . there is no danger in doing so , as the @xmath13 variation in the small @xmath1 hera kinematic region is negligible , allowing us to use this approach for the analysis of the hera data . we absorb all irrelevant factors appearing before the exponential in a constant factor a , which appears in front of the expression . substituting @xmath47 in eq.(9 ) we reduce the equation to the form f_2 = - ^y_b_0 d y_p ^r_q_0 d r e^2 e^ 2 _ 0 y_p - it is easy to see that there is no saddle point in the integration with respect to @xmath48 . indeed , the equation for the saddle point is = 0 where = 2 + 2 _ 0 y_p - eqs.(12,13 ) give - - = 0 the saddle point can only be at negative values of @xmath48 , but one can not trust the bfkl equation in this domain , where the virtuality @xmath35 is less than @xmath49 . at such small values of virtualities there are certainly large corrections , and it does not seem reasonable to expect the bfkl pomeron description to be valid in this region . we note that the most important region of integration is still @xmath50 , or in other words , the dominant value of @xmath35 remains @xmath51 . this leads us to conclude that the bfkl contribution is questionable and one needs to study the integral of eq.(11 ) in more detail , so as to be sure of the domain where it is valid . to this end , we observe that our integral over @xmath52 has a very good saddle point . indeed , the equation for this saddle point is = 0= - + 2 _ 0 + neglecting the last term , we have the saddle point value for @xmath52 y^sp_p = y_b - we now check the reliability of the glap approach for the calculation of @xmath47 . we recall that the typical value of @xmath53 , the argument of the anomalous dimension of the glap equation = n - 1 , where n is the moment variable . ] , is given by = substituting @xmath54 , we have @xmath55 . the bfkl anomalous dimension is given by the series@xcite ( ) = + 2 ( 3 ) ( ) ^4 + o ( ) substituting @xmath56 , we see that the bfkl corrections are very small . this does not mean that we do not need the normal glap corrections , which are essential ( see ref.@xcite ) , but they can not change the main result of the present problem . substituting @xmath57 in eq.(10 ) , we end up with the following integral over @xmath48 to be inserted in eq.(9 ) ^r_q_0 d r e^ 2 _ 0 y_b + ( r_q - r)- for @xmath58 . this is the kinematic region which is most interesting both from the theoretical and experimental points of view . one can see that the integral over @xmath48 in eq.(19 ) is concentrated at small @xmath59 and at large @xmath45 and @xmath46 . we face the dilemma of how much trust one can put on the perturbative calculation which estimates the behaviour of the deep inelastic gluon distribution , with virtualities of the order of @xmath60 . apparently , this calculation is not reliable as the problem reduces to that of the energy behaviour of the typical hadron - hadron interaction at high energy , which is described by the `` soft '' pomeron@xcite@xcite . despite this reservation , the above statement is certainly correct if we consider only small @xmath21 and/or large @xmath61 , the @xmath62 parameters in our calculation . numerically , the situation is more promising . indeed , as we shall show , the hera data on @xmath14 @xcite@xcite confirm the theoretical expectation that the bfkl pomeron with @xmath19 = 0.5 contributes at low @xmath1 . substituting @xmath19 = 0.5 we obtain a typical value of @xmath63 , in the integral of eq.(19 ) . this value is sufficiently large to justify our using pqcd , to evaluate the diagram of fig.2 . moreover , @xmath64 6 is larger than the value of @xmath45 in hera kinematic region , so we can estimate the value of the integral in eq.(19 ) as @xmath45 . collecting all factors together , we obtain eq.(4 ) , which was used in our description of the hera data . detailed comparisons of our calculations with the data@xcite@xcite are displayed in fig.3 where we present @xmath12 and @xmath65 . we did not attempt a `` best fit '' , nevertheless , our ability to reproduce the gross features of the data is evident . the following comments relate to the data choice and detailed features of our fit : + 1 ) the data considered are bounded by @xmath66 and @xmath67 . + 2 ) the following parameters were used in the numerical fit : @xmath33 = 0.024 , + @xmath68 = 0.015 @xmath69 , @xmath70 = 1 @xmath71 and c = -0.025 . with these parameters we get that @xmath72 at @xmath13 = 8.5 @xmath69 and @xmath73 250 @xmath71 . we can reproduce the data with a @xmath29 which is smaller , but , clearly , our requirement for a relatively large dis diffractive component is essential for this approach . + 3 ) as can be readily seen from fig.3 , we obtain a reasonable description of the data down to values of @xmath74 . at smaller values of @xmath13 we require larger sc to reproduce the data . our inability to reproduce the lowest @xmath13 data is not surprising . clearly , the present approach is over simplified , as we fail to take into account the different effects of the sc on the diffractive and the total dis cross sections . we call attention to the observation@xcite@xcite that in soft hadron interactions @xmath75 whereas @xmath76 . as we have shown@xcite the strength of the sc in pqcd is determined by a parameter @xmath77 $ ] , where b is the elastic slope . at low @xmath13 , @xmath78 , and we doubt the validity of eq.(5 ) , which is at the core of our calculation . nevertheless , even when @xmath79 , one can still use eq.(3 ) with @xmath23 as defined in eq.(4 ) , and obtain a better assessment of @xmath14 at low @xmath13 than the one we have presented here . the reason for this is , that the sc to the total dis cross section turns out to be smaller than the sc to diffraction dissociation . this problem is connected to the broader issue of the transition between the ( hard ) pqcd and the ( soft ) non perturbative domain , which we plan to discuss in a forthcoming publication . e. levin and u. maor acknowledge the financial support by cnpq and the hospitality extended to them by lafex ( cbpf ) . e. gotsman would like to thank his colleagues at irvine for their warm hospitality .

– NYPD officers responding to reports of a man threatening people with a gun on Wednesday fatally shot a black man carrying a metal pipe, mistaking it for a firearm, police say. It happened just before 5pm in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn after three 911 callers said a "man was pointing a silver firearm at people on the street," according to NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan. Five officers, three in plainclothes and two in uniform, responded and encountered a man matching the description in the 911 calls. "The suspect took a two-handed shooting stance and pointed an object at the approaching officers," says Monahan, per the AP. Four of the officers then fired a total of 10 rounds, striking the man. The man was later found to be holding a "pipe with some sort of knob at the end," Monahan says. Andre Wilson, 38, tells the New York Daily News that he has known the victim for 20 years. He describes him as a quirky neighborhood character. "All he did was just walk around the neighborhood," he says. "He speaks to himself, usually he has an orange Bible or a rosary in his hand. He never had a problem with anyone." He says neighborhood officers knew him and "this shouldn’t have happened at all." Family members have identified the man as Saheed Vassell, the 34-year-old father of a teenage son. Vassell's father says his son struggled with bipolar disorder but refused treatment. The NYPD has declined to confirm witness accounts that officers opened fire without warning.

(Associated Press) Officers arrive at the scene where police shot and killed a man in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, Wednesday, April 4, 2018, in New York, as they responded to reports of a man threatening people with a gun. (AP Photo/Kevin Hagen) (Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP) — Police officers responding to reports of a man threatening people with a gun on Wednesday fatally shot a man carrying a metal pipe, mistaking it for a firearm, police said. It happened just before 5 p.m. in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn after three 911 callers said a "man was pointing a silver firearm at people on the street," according to NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan. Five officers, three in plainclothes and two in uniform, responded and encountered a man matching the description in the 911 calls. "The suspect took a two-handed shooting stance and pointed an object at the approaching officers, two of whom were in uniform, said Monahan. Four of the officers then fired a total of 10 rounds, striking the man, who was later found to be holding a "pipe with some sort of knob at the end," he said. The unidentified man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Four officers were treated for minor injuries. Dozens of police cars converged on the area, and a crowd of about 200 people gathered around the cordoned-off intersection, said 33-year-old resident Shaya Tenenbaum, who added that a few people in the crowd shouted at police. Andre Wilson, 38, told the Daily News that he has known the victim for 20 years, describing him as a quirky neighborhood character. "All he did was just walk around the neighborhood," he said. "He speaks to himself, usually he has an orange Bible or a rosary in his hand. He never had a problem with anyone." Wilson said he was shocked that it would come to this. "The officers from the neighborhood, they know him. He has no issue with violence. Everybody just knows he's just mentally challenged. This shouldn't have happened at all." The shooting comes after the police killing of an unarmed black man on March 18 in Sacramento, California, sparked two weeks of protests and calls for police reform. Stephon Clark, 22, was shot by officers responding to a report of someone breaking car windows. Police said they thought he had a gun, but he was carrying only a cellphone. In a private autopsy commissioned by Clark's family, prominent pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu announced that Clark was hit by eight bullets — six in the back, one in the neck and one in the thigh — and took three to 10 minutes to die. Police waited about five minutes before rendering medical aid. ||||| "He was a good father. He wasn't a bad person. No matter how they want to spin it, he wasn't a bad person," Smith said. "Too many black people are dying at hands of police officers and it's about time something be done."
– The wife of Billy Bush has filed for divorce after separating from the former Today co-anchor last September, TMZ reports. Sydney Davis cited irreconcilable differences and asked for primary physical custody and joint legal custody of two of their children. The couple's separation came a year after the Access Hollywood audio recording emerged of Bush laughing when Donald Trump boasted about assaulting women, People recalls. The Today show immediately fired Bush, who apparently took it hard: "I was ashamed and embarrassed," said Bush. "I was a happy-go-lucky guy. Everything is going great and I was like, 'Hey, this is awesome!' And then, kaboom." Bush said his marriage had run into "difficulties" before he became a Today co-host in 2016, but he hoped it would survive. "We got married young and had our first child right away," he said at the time. "We're taking a step back. We get to explore and take our time. She's been so awesome through everything. I love her very much."

Billy Bush‘s wife Sydney Davis has filed for divorce after months of separation. Davis cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint legal custody and primary physical custody of two of their children, according to TMZ. She is also requesting spousal support, the outlet reported. The two have three children together: Josie, 19; Mary, 17; and Lillie, 13. A rep for Bush did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. The estranged couple married in April 1998 but announced their separation in September 2017 in a statement to PEOPLE: “After almost 20 years of marriage, they have separated for the moment to evaluate their life together. They love each other and their children deeply and are committed to a bright future.” Billy Bush and Sydney Davis John M. Heller/Getty Bush’s lawyer, Marshall Grossman, also confirmed their separation to PEOPLE at the time, saying the two were “on a short-term break.” Their split came nearly a year after Bush was abruptly fired from the Today show after a videotape was leaked to The Washington Post, in which then-Apprentice host Donald Trump bragged to Bush about groping women. RELATED: Billy Bush Opens Up About Rebuilding His Life After the Trump Scandal Destroyed His Career In January, Bush spoke to PEOPLE about the impact the scandal had on his career and marriage. “I was ashamed and embarrassed,” he said at the time. “And then I went through stages of grieving because I lost my career. For a man, that’s the ultimate degradation.” Billy Bush with Sydney Davis and daughters Josie, Mary and Lillie Billy Bush/Instagram The release of the tapes completely blindsided him. “I was a happy-go-lucky guy,” Bush said. “Everything is going great and I was like, ‘Hey, this is awesome!’ And then, kaboom.” RELATED: Billy Bush and Wife Sydney Davis Separating After Nearly 20 Years of Marriage Despite Bush and Davis struggling at the time, he remained hopeful that their marriage could “find its next leg” even after they experienced “difficulties” even before he began working at Today. “We got married young and had our first child right away,” he said at the time. “We’re taking a step back. We get to explore and take our time. She’s been so awesome through everything. I love her very much.” ||||| Billy Bush Wife Files for Divorce Billy Bush's Wife, Sydney, Files for Divorce EXCLUSIVE Billy Bush's wife has filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.

at the first medical examination , the sister was 7 years 8 months old , and the brother was 5 years 3 months old . neither sibling had any specific birth history . slit lamp microscopic examination revealed no abnormalities in the anterior segments of either eye , in either patient . the best corrected visual acuities ( bcva ) were 0.1 ( right eye ) and 0.8 ( left eye ) in the sister , and 0.7 ( right eye ) and 0.1 ( left eye ) in the brother . the cycloplegic refractive powers in the sister were : -15.50 diopter ( dpt ) , cylinder ( cyl ) + 4.50 dpt ax 85 in the right eye and -1.00 dpt cyl . the differences in spherical equivalents between the two eyes were -12.50 diopters in the sister and -6.875 diopters in the brother . full - time right occlusion therapy was performed in both patients for three months , then four to six hours a day for two years . the sister was prescribed atropine for the left eye after six hours right - sided occlusion therapy a day for a year . three years later , the bcva in the brother 's left eye had improved from 0.1 to 0.7 . the bcva in the sister 's left eye improved from 0.1 to 0.7 during the first year ; however , she showed no further improvement after that time . the refraction and the radius of the anterior corneal curvature were measured using an autorefractokeratometer ( speedy - k ; nikon , tokyo , japan ) and a topographer ( orb - scan ; bausch & lomb , rochester , ny , usa ) . a - mode ultrasonography ( cinescan ; quantel medical , clermont - ferrand , france ) was performed . the results of a - mode ultrasonography and orb - scan are presented in table 2 . this condition is often associated with amblyopia , both in the presence of and in the absence of strabismus [ 6 , 7 ] . the prevalence of anisometropia reported in school - based and population - based studies of school - aged children is typically 5% , but this figure varies depending on the manner in which anisometropia is defined . myopic anisometropia is usually accompanied by strabismus , especially exotropia in 30 - 60% of patients . this suggests that the development of binocular vision might be affected by mild infantile exotropia . when high myopia of one eye is more than -5 to -6 diopters , or the difference in spherical equivalents of both eyes is more than 5 diopters , then anisometropia may be responsible for amblyopia . , the present case is without any obvious complication and shows mirror image similarly . in the study of 78 monozygotic twins and 40 dizygotic twins , sorsby et al . reported that the concordances of corneal power , axial length , and vertical ocular refraction were higher in monozygotic twins than in dizygotic twins . interestingly , patients in the present study had similar axial lengths in their myopic eyes . in conclusion , we believe that severe myopic anisometropia may be genetically determined , and further investigation is recommended .
– The woman whose 18-month-old son was violently yanked from her arms by NYPD officers has had the charges against her in that incident dropped. Jazmine Headley was arrested in Brooklyn Friday after a security guard at a city social services office asked her to move and she allegedly refused; the woman who recorded the incident (in a video that went viral, bringing attention to the case) said Headley and her son had been sitting on the floor because all the seats were taken. Police were called and a struggle ensued in which Headley's toddler son was taken from her. She was charged with resisting arrest, acting in a manner injurious to a child, obstructing governmental administration, and trespassing, but the Brooklyn DA dismissed all those charges Tuesday. Headley initially remained jailed at New York City's Rikers Island on an unrelated New Jersey warrant, but later Tuesday a judge ordered her released, the AP reports. According to the New York Times, the executive director of Brooklyn Defender Services explained the New Jersey case Tuesday, saying Headley was in a car with four people when it was pulled over; police allegedly found stolen credit cards inside the car. Though Headley was quickly released and had only been charged with a misdemeanor, she couldn't get back to New Jersey for a court date and a warrant was issued for her arrest. She was at the government office Friday in an attempt to get childcare benefits reinstated for her son, who was with her at the time because his daycare had just informed her the city had stopped paying his fee. The 23-year-old initially remained jailed on the question of whether she would be extradited to New Jersey; instead, she was expected to be released Tuesday but must appear in court Wednesday for the credit card case. (A woman who says she killed in self-defense when she was a teen was sentenced to 51 years.)

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the arrest of a mother at a New York City social services office (all times local): 4:45 p.m.: A judge has ordered the release of a mother jailed after she was violently separated from her toddler son by police in a videotaped encounter at a New York City social services office. Tuesday's order freeing Jazmine Headley came hours after Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said he was dropping all charges against her stemming from Friday's incident. Headley was being held at New York City's Rikers Island jail facility on a warrant issued in a New Jersey credit card fraud case. She's due to appear in court Wednesday on that matter. Headley was arrested in Brooklyn after a dispute with a guard in a crowded waiting room. Video showing officers yanking Headley's 18-month-old son from her arms sparked criticism of the police response. Gonzalez said he was "horrified by the violence depicted in the video." 12:45 p.m. Brooklyn's district attorney has dismissed all charges against a mother who was violently separated from her toddler son by police in a videotaped encounter at a city social services office. Jazmine Headley has been in jail since Friday, when she was arrested after a dispute with a guard in a crowded waiting room. District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said Tuesday that he was "horrified by the violence depicted in the video." It showed officers yanking Headley's 18-month-old son from her arms. He said "the consequences this young and desperate mother has already suffered as a result of this arrest far outweigh any conduct that may have led to it." It was unclear when Headley might be released from jail. She remained held Tuesday on an unrelated warrant issued in New Jersey. ||||| [What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.] The Brooklyn district attorney on Tuesday dropped charges against a mother whose son was torn from her arms as she was arrested in a Brooklyn government office last week, after an online video of the incident provoked widespread outrage. The woman, Jazmine Headley, 23, was released from Rikers Island, where she has been held for five days, at 9 p.m. and was reunited with her baby boy a half-hour later, family members said. She still faces charges in a credit card fraud case from 2016 in Mercer County, N.J., where she must return to court on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Justice Craig S. Walker ordered Ms. Headley released during a hearing in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn. The judge said that the video of Ms. Headley’s arrest was a “horrific scene that was broadcast all over the United States.” He said that both Ms. Headley’s experience during her arrest and “the amount of time she has served” factored into his decision. On Friday, Ms. Headley was sitting with her 1-year-old son, Damone, on the floor of an office in the Human Resources Administration building in Boerum Hill, where she had gone to try to get her child-care benefits reinstated. She had brought her son along because his day care center had informed her the city was no longer paying his fee, her lawyer and a family member said.
– Think of the last funeral you attended. Wouldn't it have been so much better if you had a fresh cup of Starbucks brew in your hand? That's apparently the idea at South Carolina's Robinson Funeral Home, where mourners will find an outpost of the coffee chain beginning next month. The funeral home, crematory, and chapel has always been linked to coffee, its owner explains—his great-grandfather initially started the business inside a coffee-selling general store. Potentially making things awkward: The store will be open to the public, meaning that, theoretically, someone could walk in off the street mid-funeral to get his or her Frappuccino fix. But, the owner stresses to WSPA, "You walk in the front, and it's off to the side. It's not like it's right up front." Plus, there won't be a Starbucks sign outside since the franchise doesn't qualify as a full-size Starbucks. (And don't worry: Free homemade Robinson coffee will still be available to mourners who don't feel like shelling out four bucks for a latte.) Also included? WiFi, the AP reports. Hat tip to Gawker for the find.

By: | Published: July 11, 2012 Those grieving the dearly departed at Robinson Funeral Home in Easley will soon have a little something extra to soothe the pain: a cup of Starbucks' joe. The fourth-generation funeral home and crematory is adding a new section to its existing facilities which includes business offices, a chapel, and a special wing aptly named "Coffee Corner," where soon a Starbucks will open. The owner, Chris Robinson, explains how coffee has always been part of the family business, saying his great-grandfather started the funeral home inside a main street general store, where people would gather and drink coffee. Robinson, who's a bit worried people will get the wrong idea about the coffee shop, says it's simply one more service for people to choose, but one that's certainly not mandatory. "You walk in the front, and it's off to the side," Robinson said. "It's not like it's right up front." Robinson has hired staff to run the Starbucks franchise which will be open to the public, not just to those attending services. Starbucks will install equipment and menus at the end of July, and Robinson expects the shop to open sometime in August. If funeral-goers worry about not getting free cups of coffee at visitations and other services, fear not, the owner says. "We'll still have the homemade Robinson coffee, too," he said. The Robinson Starbucks will be the first in Easley, but because it's not a full-sized store, they're not allowed to put Starbucks' signage on the building's exterior as part of the agreement with the coffee giant. ||||| A funeral home in northwestern South Carolina will be offering what it calls the Starbucks experience to those needing comfort, or just a cup of coffee. Robinson Funeral Home in Easley is building a coffee shop attached to the funeral home. The Coffee Corner will feature Starbucks coffee and food and also will be open to those who don't need services from the funeral home. Chris Robinson says the Coffee Corner will include a fireplace, TV and Wi-Fi. Starbucks employees will train employees at the funeral home later this month before the shop opens. Robinson says there's nothing like food or coffee to help comfort those who've experienced a loss. ||||| Robinson Funeral Home, a fourth-generation business in Easley, South Carolina, has announced the impending addition of a Starbucks franchise to its existing services, which currently include a chapel and a crematory. The so-called "Coffee Corner" will also offer mourners food, a fireplace, and free Wi-Fi. Owner Chris Robinson said the funeral home his great-grandfather started was located inside a main street general store where coffee was served, and it has been serving free coffee ever since, so the decision to open a Starbucks was not as far-fetched as it seems. Also, he notes that the coffeehouse will not be intrusive — "you walk in the front, and it's off to the side" — and is open to the all, irrespective of mourning status. The funeral home's franchise will be the small town's first Starbucks, though it will not be able to market itself as a Starbucks because it is not a full-sized store. [screengrab via WSPA]
– The CIA has invited selected senators to view the photos of Osama bin Laden's death that the White House has decided not to release to the public. Members of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Senate Armed Services committee have been told that they can make an appointment with the intelligence agency to see the photos in a viewing room that has been set up for the lawmakers, reports Reuters. Some senators, including Scott Brown, claimed to have already seen the photos before admitting they were duped by hoaxes. Analysts are continuing to scour the 2.7 terabytes of data seized in the raid that killed bin Laden, CBS notes. An intelligence official says the huge cache of information—equivalent to 220 million pages of text—is providing new leads on al-Qaeda every hour, including information on other terrorist leaders and on how bin Laden communicated with the rest of al-Qaeda from his hideout.

Bin Laden intel revealing new leads every hour The Osama bin Laden raid will continue to reveal new angles of interest for some time. On Tuesday, the CIA invited members of the House and Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committees to view the pictures, in private. CBS News correspondent David Martin reports that more is also being learned about what happened when the SEALs went in to get him, including the fact that a painstaking effort was made to collect valuable evidence at the compound. The target was bin Laden, but a U.S. official says the terrorist leader was killed "relatively early" in the operation. "At least half" the 40 minutes the Navy SEALs spent on the ground went into collecting lap tops, hard drives, CDs and paper files. As President Obama told Steve Kroft in his "60 Minutes" interview, the follow-through was as daring as the hit. "They killed bin Laden and they had presence of mind to still gather up a whole bunch of bin Laden's material, which will be a treasure trove of information that could serve us well in the weeks and months to come," Obama said. A task force is now working around-the-clock to analyze and exploit that intel, and not just the videos released over the weekend, but a staggering 2.7 terabytes of data, the equivalent of 220 million pages of text. A U.S. official says the task force comes up with another intelligence nugget on the average of once an hour, including leads on everything from other terrorists leaders to how bin laden communicated with the rest of al Qaeda. "We've got a chance to, I think, really deliver a fatal blow to this organization if we follow through aggressively in the months to come," Obama said. Every minute the SEALs spent collecting intelligence from bin Laden's compound was another minute the Pakistani police and military had to react. Two backup helicopters carried more SEALs in case the ones in the compound got into a firefight with Pakistani forces. U.S. warplanes orbited just on the other side of the Afghan border, ready to come to the aid of the SEALs on the ground or to intercept any Pakistani jets that attempted to shoot down the helicopters. If it had ever come to that, an already rocky relationship with Pakistan would have been ruined. ||||| A newspaper stand displays magazines and posters bearing the pictures of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and U.S. President Barack Obama (bottom L) in Karachi May 9, 2011. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The CIA has informed two Senate committees that their members can view post-mortem photos of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden if they wish, a congressional aide said on Tuesday. The CIA invited members from the Senate Intelligence Committee and Senate Armed Services committee to make an appointment with the intelligence agency to see the photographs, the aide said. President Barack Obama last week ruled out making the photos available for public viewing because it could incite violence and be used by al Qaeda as a propaganda tool. Bin Laden was killed by a U.S. strike team that surprised him at his Pakistan compound a week ago. He was buried at sea. (Reporting by Steve Holland; Editing by Jackie Frank)
– This will bring a smile to whale fans: A humpback freed from fishing nets performed what one rescuer could only describe as a "thank-you dance." Again and again and again. A group from the Great Whale Conservancy freed the whale off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. Afterward, it leaped from the water dozens of times (they counted 40) as they followed along for about an hour. The video got noticed by Reddit and BoingBoing. "Yes, there could be more dull explanations for her behavior, but she sure looks like one overjoyed whale to me," writes Xeni Jardin at BoingBoing.

– For someone who just got busted on a cocaine charge, Paris Hilton doesn't seem too concerned. Sources tell TMZ she's "not worried about it" and has been telling people, "It could be a setup. Everyone knows how against cocaine I am." She claims the cocaine "probably" belongs to a friend who recently borrowed her purse. As for the cop who pulled her boyfriend over? He was "star-struck and blew the whole thing way out of proportion." The Sun has an even more believable reason the cocaine couldn't have been hers: She's reportedly claiming the purse it was found in is too cheap to be one carried by Paris Hilton. It was "by no means up to her high fashion standards," says a source. Paris took a moment last night to issue her first post-arrest statement, via Twitter of course, thanking her fans "for all the love and support you are giving me." Meanwhile, her boyfriend and fellow arrestee probably isn't in so great of a mood: Cy Waits was fired from his Las Vegas nightclub gig, E! reports. Click here to read about how Paris got caught.

– The White House had another no-camera press briefing on Friday, and CNN found a unique way to give viewers a look. It sent veteran courtroom sketch artist Bill Hennessy to draw Sean Spicer as he briefed reporters. It was the third time this week the White House has banned cameras and audio from a briefing, notes the Washington Post, part of a rethinking of its press-room strategy. (Reporters are none too pleased.) Jeff Mason of Reuters, president of the White House Correspondents' Association, met with Spicer and deputy press chief Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Friday to relay complaints about the new restrictions, reports TVNewser. When Spicer was asked about the matter, however, it didn't sound like changes were afoot. "I think it's great for us to come out here and have a substantive discussion about policies,” he said. “I don't think that the be-all and end-all is whether it's on television or not.”

The White House has been prohibiting cameras at some press briefings, so on Friday CNN got creative and sent a sketch artist. Bill Hennessy, the network's regular sketch artist for Supreme Court proceedings, headed over to the White House on Friday afternoon and drew Press Secretary Sean Spicer's afternoon briefing. He didn't have his usual easel, but he stood in the back of the briefing room to document the scene. Hennessy's sketches aren't exclusive to CNN; other news outlets may also use them. Some conservative media voices dismissed it as a stunt, but CNN argued that the sketch session did serve a journalistic purpose, in the same way that courtroom sketches do. Gallery: A White House press briefing as told by CNN's sketch artist CNN equated the briefing to a Supreme Court argument -- an on-the-record event at which cameras are banned. Sketches are also common in courtroom trials. The idea is to paint a picture for viewers who couldn't be in the room. The video camera that can be seen on the right side of some of Hennessy's sketches was turned off during the Friday briefing. It was one of several pieces of video equipment that remained in the briefing room at their normal locations, even as recording was banned. Hennessy has been a Washington-based courtroom sketch artist for decades. He has covered a wide range of cases, including the Clinton impeachment proceedings, terror suspect trials, and Guantanamo Bay detainee hearings. He worked for CNN at the Supreme Court on Thursday. Hennessy's presence highlighted the significant change in White House access that has taken place recently. Press secretaries for Democratic and Republican presidents have held on-camera briefings on a regular basis for the past quarter century. Related: White House-media relations at breaking point as Spicer searches for replacement But the Trump White House has been cutting back on the frequency and the length of on-camera briefings. Spicer and his deputy Sarah Huckabee Sanders have only held four on-camera briefings in June. Most of their Q&A sessions have been held off-camera. The White House has also prohibited live audio broadcasts of the briefing. On Thursday and Friday, CNN aired the briefing audio in its entirety shortly after it ended. Spicer was asked on Friday afternoon about the rollback in access. "Some days we'll do it" on camera, he said. "I think it's great for us to come out here and have a substantive discussion about policies. I don't think that the be all and end all is whether it's on television or not." ||||| With today’s White House briefing being audio only, CNN decided to send its sketch artist, Bill Hennessy, to draw the proceedings.

– Did Mitt Romney pay no taxes for 10 years, as Harry Reid has been alleging? Well, the Obama campaign doesn't know, but it certainly implies that's a possibility in its latest ad. "Did Romney pay 10% in taxes? Five percent? Zero? We don't know," says the ad's narrator. "But we do know that Romney personally approved over $70 million in fictional losses to the IRS as part of the notorious Son of Boss tax scandal, one of the largest tax avoidance schemes in history." That last claim refers to what ABC News refers to as six years' worth of "complicated tax avoidance measures" taken by the Marriott hotel company while Romney chaired its audit committee in the 1990s. But the Romney campaign says the ad's allegations are exaggerated, "dishonorable and dishonest." In another new ad, the Obama campaign fires back at a recent Romney ad assertion that Obama plans to end welfare's work requirements, Politico reports. The Obama ad cites a number of emphatic rebuttals of Romney's claim, including the New York Times calling it "blatantly false."

Jae C. Hong/AP Photo COLORADO SPRINGS - As he decries the negativity of campaign ads while on the stump in battleground states, President Obama should take a close look in the mirror. His campaign Thursday continued its vigorous pace of attacks on rival Mitt Romney, with a new TV ad alleging the presumptive GOP presidential nominee once participated in "one of the largest tax avoidance schemes in history." "We do know that Romney personally approved over $70 million in fictional losses to the IRS as part of the notorious 'Son of Boss' tax scandal," the narrator says, "One of the largest tax avoidance schemes in history. Isn't it time for Romney to come clean?" The ad refers to Romney's role as chairman of the audit committee for hotel giant Marriott International for six years in the 1990s. During that time, the company took advantage of complicated tax avoidance measures, including the so-called "Son of Boss" tax shelter which was later challenged successfully by the Justice Department and IRS. Romney, as an auditor, presumably knew about the practice. Get more pure politics at ABC News.com/Politics and a lighter take on the news at OTUSNews.com The Obama campaign says the ad, which will air in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio, fairly illustrates a pattern of behavior by Romney to minimize tax liabilities in his personal life and in business dealings. "These questions are especially relevant given voters' heightened attention in this election to the fate of their own tax rates, and the central role tax reform will play in the next administration," said Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt in a memo to reporters. The Romney campaign says the charge that the candidate "personally" oversaw Marriott's tax avoidance practices and had a key role in "scandal" is overblown - both "dishonorable and dishonest," said spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg. Republicans also point out that the Obama ad's primary sourcing for its central allegation is a CNN.com op-ed published Wednesday by two major Democratic donors, "tax experts" Peter Canellos and Edward Kleinbard. Canellos and Kleinbard have participated in press conference calls hosted by the Democratic National Committee to attack Romney, and each has donated significant sums to Democrats in election campaigns, Federal Election Commission records show. "In 2008, candidate Obama said 'you make a big election about small things' when you don't have a record to run on. Since President Obama can't run on record unemployment, falling incomes, and massive debt, he has decided to run a dirty campaign that is an affront to everything he claims to stand for," Henneberg said. ||||| Obama airing welfare response ad The Obama campaign is responding to Mitt Romney's messaging offensive on welfare reform with a new TV ad dubbing the Republican's argument "false." "Seen this? Mitt Romney saying the president would end welfare’s work requirements? The New York Times calls it ‘blatantly false.’ The Washington Post says ‘the Obama administration is not removing the bill’s work requirements at all,'" Obama's ad says. "President Clinton’s reaction to the Romney ad? It’s just ‘not true.’” The spot is a sign that Chicago is taking Romney's welfare-themed attacks seriously, and means that both sides are now juggling their attack ads of choice with response commercials as well, whether they're pushing back on welfare or Bain Capital.

splenic torsion of the so called wandering spleen is an extremely rare phenomenon , having an incidence of 1 in 2000 and accounts for only 2 per 1000 splenectomies . an 18 year old married female patient presented to the obstetrics and gynaecology emergency unit with severe pain and abdominal distension for one day . there was no history of vomiting , constipation or fever . her period was overdue by about 40 days when she presented in the emergency department . she was found to be very pale and was haemodynamically unstable with an uncordable blood pressure . her abdomen was distended and tender , without any significant rebound tenderness . per rectal examination was normal . per vaginal examination showed a bulky uterus , a distended pouch of douglas and adnexae were found to be apparently normal . as emergency ultrasonographic or other imaging facility was not available at that time a culdocentesis was done which revealed haemoperitoneum . as patient was deteriorating rapidly , an urgent laparotomy was done with a provisional diagnosis of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy . she was found to have about 2 litres of dark coloured blood with clots in her abdomen . examination of the pelvis revealed normal fallopian tubes and ovaries but the uterus was bulky . a hugely enlarged and congested spleen , transversely oriented was found with multiple ruptures on its surface . the hilum and splenic pedicle could not be identified initially as the spleen had rotated three and a half times on its pedicle . two units of blood were transfused peri - operatively and two units post - operatively . no tumour mass or any other significant pathology was found . on day 3 post - op , she further underwent a check curettage for evacuation of retained products of conception . following this , the patient made a full recovery splenic torsion with spontaneous rupture in a patient with early intrauterine pregnancy is an extremely rare cause of acute abdomen . the diagnosis is extremely difficult as seen in the case where it masqueraded as a ruptured ectopic pregnancy . the exact aetiology is unknown but it is probably due to incomplete fixation of gastrosplenic and lienorenal ligaments which gives rise to the so called wandering spleen . ( 3 ) presentation is highly variable and there are reports of this entity presenting as an acute abdomen , abdominal mass or even as intestinal obstruction . the acquired form is usually seen in multiparous women possibly as a result of hormonal changes in pregnancy that cause laxity of the abdominal wall and the ligaments attached to the spleen . ( 7,8 ) splenomegaly has been known to elongate the splenic pedicle by traction , increasing preponderance to torsion and splenoptosis . ( 9 ) torsion may then cause venous congestion , further splenomegaly , elongation of vascular pedicle and splenoptosis . as the condition is very rare often there is not enough time for radiological investigations but if possible a ct scan or ultrasound should be done . this report brings out the importance of considering splenic torsion in the differential diagnosis of all cases of acute abdomen , particularly when we do not have the time or facility to carry out a full radiological evaluation .

– A 7-year-old girl with just months to live got to meet Miley Cyrus—and friends of the girl's family say the experience was memorable for little Miley Hodge, but not really in a positive way. "It was not a very good experience for them," one tells Radar. Another explains that the family was "put off for nearly a week" before finally meeting Cyrus, and when they did, "Cyrus was more interested in what she was doing in the studio than paying attention to the little girl." Miley Hodge's first Make-a-Wish choice was to meet Justin Bieber, but she switched to Cyrus when he was unavailable. Now little Miley's supporters are trying to convince Bieber to meet with the girl, who is battling an aggressive form of bone cancer. "I think that if she wants to meet 50 celebrities, she deserves that chance," says her dad. But he won't say anything negative about Cyrus: "My daughter met one of her idols. Period." In a similar, but much nicer, story, 18-year-old Alisa Finley, who is also battling cancer, released a bucket list with the No. 1 goal: "Kiss Channing Tatum." When Tatum heard about it, he sent Alisa a video with a virtual kiss, and even sang to her. Alisa has since marked the No. 1 item "almost done," E! reports. Watch the video here.

– Authorities are "puzzled" over Monday's disappearance of an Indiana schoolteacher, the Lafayette Journal & Courier reports. Samuel Perdue says his wife, 42-year-old Krista Perdue, got sick on Sunday so they slept in separate bedrooms. He says he went to check on her Monday morning after he "kind of piddled around" and discovered her missing. According to Fox 59, Samuel says he didn't hear Krista leave the house and has no idea where she would have gone. Her purse, driver's license, wallet, and car were still at their home. "It's worrisome from the get-go under circumstances like that, where she has no means, no money, no phone," Tippecanoe County Chief Deputy Steve Hartman tells the Journal & Courier. "So it's very concerning." Deputies don't suspect foul play at this point. Authorities looked at Krista's cellphone and didn't find evidence of her calling anyone for a ride or anything that would shed light on her whereabouts or reasons for leaving, WLFI reports. A neighbor says Krista texted her Saturday night that she had just gotten back from a family vacation. The neighbor says it "would be completely out of character" for Krista, who has a 12-year-old daughter, to leave her family. Krista is a second-grade teacher at Woodland Elementary School.

TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) — The search is still on for a missing Tippecanoe School Corporation teacher. Forty-two-year-old Krista Perdue was last seen late Sunday night by her husband at their home on Trackside Drive. Camon Milligan has lived next door to Perdue for seven years. She said they are close friends. In fact, the last time Milligan talked to Perdue was Saturday night when she says Perdue texted her saying she returned home from a nice vacation with her family. Milligan said the last thing Perdue said was “See you soon.” She says Perdue is married and has a 12-year-old daughter. Milligan says she can’t imagine Perdue leaving her family, especially her daughter. She said “leaving by choice would be completely out of character.” Milligan can’t understand why Perdue’s car, cellphone and purse are still at the house if she left. Perdue is a second grade teacher at TSC’s Woodland Elementary School. The school corporation released a statement: “Our school community is very concerned about Mrs. Perdue and is hoping for a safe return. The TSC is supporting police in the investigation.” The Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the disappearance. They don’t suspect foul play at this time, but said they aren’t ruling anything out. Deputy Chief Steve Hartman says they have issued subpoenas but wouldn’t specify what for. He did say they looked at Perdue’s cellphone and didn’t see that she called anyone for a ride or anything that would explain her disappearance. If you know anything about her whereabouts you are asked to call the sheriffs office immediately. Law enforcement is present at Perdue’s house Tuesday morning. Just before noon, officers went inside the home with Krista Perdue’s husband — Samuel Perdue. Samuel has not had a chance to speak with News 18 just yet, but we are hoping to get more from him coming up later on News 18 at Five and Six.

– If one lives in a hockey-crazy town, then possibly having a giant, bug-eyed mascot for the home team crash your wedding might sound pretty cool. Newlyweds were shocked when Gritty, the 7-foot mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers, showed up Friday night and started dancing with the bride. A video taken by a relative and posted to Twitter captures the orange monster hugging Heather Grossmuller and Karl Schwemlein during their reception. Then Gritty and Grossmuller get down on the dance floor, reports the AP. Grossmuller's father, Ray, orchestrated the surprise for his daughter, who is a raving Flyers fan. Gritty has become a huge hit since becoming the team's mascot in September. He has hung with celebrities and his face put on beer cans and tattoos, and was even honored last month with a resolution by the city council. "Once Gritty came (out), you know everywhere, Heather was instantly really into him," a cousin tells CBS Philadelphia, (which calls the nuptials a "very Philly wedding.") "They were always joking it would be cool if he would come to the wedding." (Gritty made waves when he was introduced.)

(Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA (AP) — What better way to surprise a Philadelphia wedding party than with the instant sensation Gritty? KYW-TV reports newlyweds were shocked when the 7-foot (2-meter) mascot for the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers showed up Friday night and started dancing with the bride. A video taken by a relative and posted to Twitter captures the orange monster hugging Heather Grossmuller and Karl Schwemlein during their reception. The video shows Gritty and Grossmuller getting down on the dance floor. Grossmuller's father, Ray, orchestrated the surprise for his daughter who is a raving Flyers fan. Gritty has become a huge hit since becoming the team's mascot in September. He has hung with celebrities and his face put on beer cans and tattoos. He was honored last month with a resolution by the city council. ||||| Follow CBSPHILLY Facebook | Twitter PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A googly-eyed, unexpected guest made a grand entrance at a wedding in the Northern Liberties section of the city on Friday night. The 7-foot, orange giant that answers by the name of Gritty surprised the bride and groom at the Cescaphe Ballroom on N. 2nd Street. In one of the videos shared on Twitter, guests can be heard bursting out into applause as the goofy mascot makes his way to give the groom and the bride, Heather and Karl Schwemlein, big hugs. He then follows those hugs up with some impressive moves with the bride. “The bride, Heather Grossmuller and her father, Ray, are big Flyers fans,” explains her cousin, Stephanie, who was front row at the bridesmaids’ table when Gritty made his appearance. “Once Gritty came onto, you know everywhere, Heather was instantly really into him. They were always joking it would be cool if he would come to the wedding.” Surprisingly, Heather’s father managed to organize the surprise, which has gone viral on social media. Gritty attended the wedding for about an hour and took pictures with everyone when he wasn’t dancing, according to Stephanie. “I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE STARSTRUCK IN MY LIFE,” writes another Twitter user who shared a video of Gritty grooving with guests. There may never be a more Philly-like wedding. It’s safe to say that Philly has won the hearts of Philadelphians over.
– A newlywed husband and wife are both dead after they crashed into each other head-on in North Texas Wednesday morning. Nicolas Cruz, 31, and Kristina Munoz, 26, were alone in their respective vehicles when they collided, the AP reports. The crash occurred near a farm where both of them worked, but investigators aren't sure what happened; KETK reports that the accident took place at the crest of a hill. Authorities are looking into whether speed was a factor. Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt. Cruz was headed north on County Road 87 in a Mazda pickup when, after negotiating a curve, he hit the Saturn Munoz was driving south, KFDX reports. "This is a very narrow, blacktop county road and there are no markings," a trooper says. "There are no shoulder markings and there are no center stripe markings." There are also no skid marks, indicating neither driver applied the brakes, so authorities are investigating whether one was driving too close to the center of the road. Munoz leaves behind three children. (A similar story in Maine in April had a much happier ending.)

A North Texas husband and wife have died when their vehicles collided head-on near where both work. The Texas Department of Public Safety said the crash happened around midmorning Wednesday 3 miles west of Odell, about 60 miles northwest of Wichita Falls. The Wichita Falls Times Record News reports the husband and wife were alone in their vehicles during the wreck near the Marhard Pullet Farm. DPS identified the victims as 31-year-old Nicolas Cruz and 26-year-old Kristina Munoz. Trooper Jymie Ha said investigators are trying to determine a cause for the crash and whether speed contributed to the wreck on County Road 87. Copyright Associated Press ||||| Authorities confirm the victims of a fatal head on collision near Odell were husband and wife, driving separate vehicles. DPS troopers are still trying to figure out the cause of that crash. That wreck happened just before 10 a.m. on County Road 87 North and FM 2379 near Odell in Wilbarger County. The drivers were both pronounced dead on the scene. DPS troopers say they're identified as 31-year-old Nicolas Cruz and 26-year-old Kristina Munoz, both of Chillicothe. A 1990 Mazda pickup, driven by Cruz, was headed north on County Road 87. "After negotiating a curve in the road, collided head-on with unit number two, which was traveling south on County Road 87," DPS Trooper Tony Fulton says. That vehicle was a 1999 Saturn driven by Munoz. Both worked at a farm not far from where the crash occurred. "This is a very narrow, blacktop county road and there are no markings," Fulton says. "There are no shoulder markings and there are no center stripe markings." Fulton says there are no skid marks to indicate braking before the collision, so troopers are trying to determine if one of the drivers was driving too close to the center of the roadway. Troopers say neither driver was wearing a seat belt. They say they're in the process of interviewing the last people who saw each victim to see if that tells them anything else about the crash. They also say Munoz is survived by three children. There will be a memorial service Monday, June 9th at 4PM at Smith Funeral Home in Chillecothe ||||| A man and his wife were killed in a tragic accident near Witchita Falls when the couple collided head-on in separate vehicles. According to Department of Public Safety Trooper Jymie Ha, on Wednesday around 9:55 a.m., Kristina Muniz, 26, was driving a car north on County Road 87, an unlined road, and crashed into a truck driven by her husband, Nicolas Cruz, 31, at the crest of a hill. At 10:19 a.m., Justice of the Peace Gene Morton pronounced the Chillicothe, Texas, couple dead at the scene. Authorities believed spee and the layout of the road could be contributing factors of the crash, but the investigation is ongoing. Trooper Ha said the couple was recently married, and both worked at a nearby farm. Chillicothe is located about 60 miles northwest of Wichita Falls.
– Venus Williams finally has a name for her biggest foe in tennis: Sjogren's syndrome. The 31-year-old abruptly withdrew from the US Open today, announcing that she has been diagnosed with Sjogren's, an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain and can lead to longer-term problems. (More details on the disease, which affects 4 million Americans, here.) Williams has been plagued with what she previously described as an "energy-sucking" illness for some time now, reports USA Today. Still, she returned to action Monday with a victory and seemed upbeat about her health until today's surprise announcement. "I enjoyed playing my first match here and wish I could continue but right now I am unable to," she said. "I am thankful I finally have a diagnosis and am now focused on getting better and returning to the court soon." A Bleacher Report blogger is confident she'll be back.

This is devastating news for the Williams family, her fans and tennis fans across the world. Tennis is one of the ultimate tests of endurance this world has to offer. It would be seemingly impossible for anybody to perform at a high level with this syndrome slowly eating away at their body during a match. "Sjogren syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by degeneration of the mucus-secreting glands, particularly the tear ducts of the eyes (lacrimal) and saliva glands of the mouth. Autoimmune disorders are caused when the body's natural defenses (antibodies, lymphocytes, etc.) against invading organisms suddenly begin to attack healthy tissue. Sjogren syndrome is also associated with inflammatory disorders such as arthritis or lupus," according to WebMD.com. If there was ever a woman who could overcome something of this magnitude, it would be Venus. Venus and her sister Serena have overcome adversity after adversity during their careers. This is another obstacle attempting to impede her path from going down as the greatest women’s tennis player in history. We can only hope for the sake of the sport and her well-being that a cure is out there to control this limiting disease. We need Venus back on the court as soon as possible, but not at the expense of her well-being. That is what is most important right now. Sjogren’s Syndrome will surely shorten her career unless it can be controlled. Venus did the right thing by pulling out of the US Open. Hopefully with the right medical attention and time away from the game, Venus can come back to wow us like she always does. Fatigue and joint pain is devastating for any person, let alone a tennis player. Still, I would expect Venus to return to the hallowed court sooner than we would ever imagine. We rarely ever see people as determined as the Williams sisters. She will prepare like a mad-woman to get into better shape to counter the disease and guarantee we have the privilege of watching her wage in battle again. ||||| What is Sjögren's?

– The huge storm that lashed much of Europe yesterday created some huge waves, including a monster that might earn surfer Carlos Burle a place in the record books. The Brazilian rode a behemoth of a wave at Nazare, on Portugal's central coast, that appears to be even bigger than the 100-foot wave Hawaiian Garrett McNamara rode at the same spot in January, CBS reports. Burle's feat came soon after he rescued fellow Brazilian big-wave surfer Maya Gaberia, who nearly drowned trying to catch a wave. "It was luck. We never know when we will be catching the wave," Burle tells Surfer Today. "I still hadn't surfed any wave and everyone had already had their rides. Maya almost died. For me, it was a big adrenaline moment to get back there after what happened."

Less than a year after Hawaii native Garrett McNamara set what many believed to be an impossibly high bar in big wave surfing, Brazilian surfer Carlos Burle may have topped it. The surf of his life - twice Anderson Cooper's wild ride with Garrett McNamara Garrett McNamara surfs possible 100-foot wave On Monday, Burle took off on a mountain of a wave off the now-famous big wave spot of Nazare on Portugal's central coast. Initial estimates of the wave's height put it taller than the record set by McNamara in January, which was estimated to be around 100 feet tall. McNamara holds the certified record for tow-in surfing a wave, also set at Nazare, for riding a 78-foot behemoth in 2011. Whatever the final, official height of Burle's wave, it was a monster. Burle's ride also happened shortly after he rescued his friend and fellow big wave surfer Maya Gabriel, who nearly drowned trying to catch a wave. Burle told Surfer Today: "It was luck. We never know when we will be catching the wave. I still hadn't surfed any wave and everyone had already had their rides. Maya almost died. For me, it was a big adrenaline moment to get back there after what happened." When Anderson Cooper profiled McNamara about his Nazare ride in January, he also talked about surprise and luck when he caught the giant wave. "I didn't realize it was that big of a wave until it came down from above and just boom right on my shoulders and it almost squashed me. I almost collapsed," said McNamara. Big wave surfing has a small but dedicated set of adrenaline junkies chasing giant swells all over the world. Several have died in recent years. When McNamara was interviewed on "CBS This Morning" about the sport, he said standing on a mountain of water "taunting" the avalanche chasing him is when he is most comfortable. The danger-chasing McNamara said, however, that he won't get on a horse. ||||| | Surfing Carlos Burle may have ridden the biggest wave of all time, at Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal, during the Big Monday swell. The Brazilian crew traveled to Portugal with a goal in mind. To beat the Guinness World Record for the largest wave ever surfed, which belongs to the Hawaiian hellman, Garrett McNamara. Carlos Burle, Pedro Scooby, Felipe Cesarano, and Maya Gabeira had big hopes for the European super swell. On the 28th October, 2013, Burle claimed one of the biggest wave ever ridden at Praia do Norte. The first pictures show that he may be above the world record set by Garrett McNamara, at 23.77 m (78 feet), measured from trough to crest, on the 1st November 2011. "It was luck. We never know when we will be catching the wave. I still hadn't surfed any wave and everyone had already had their rides. Maya almost died. For me, it was a big adrenaline moment to get back there after what happened", reveals Carlos Burle. Carlos Burle, 45, from Pernambuco, has been living the adrenaline life of the big wave riders. In 2001, he rode a 22-meter (72 foot) wave, in Mavericks, Northern California. His wave at Praia do Norte will be analyzed by the Guinness World Records.
– Not a good idea: bringing a kangaroo onstage for your comedy show and manhandling it. Mike Epps danced around onstage with a kangaroo during a show Friday night in Detroit; video of the incident shows another man on stage picking the animal up and carrying it around, the AP reports, and the Los Angeles Times says the kangaroo appeared "uncomfortable." An outcry ensued, leading Epps to apologize on his Instagram account Sunday night. He said the stunt got out of hand and that he will donate money to a foundation that helps kangaroos by way of apology. He tells TMZ the animal was supposed to just run across the stage at the end of his show to get a laugh, but things didn't go according to plan. The gossip site says the USDA is investigating the incident.

Mike Epps regrets and is apologizing for bringing a kangaroo onstage for a gag in front of a screaming crowd at the end of his show Friday in Detroit. "I wanna sincerely apologize to everybody," the comic said Sunday on Instagram. "I don't own the kangaroo and did not mean any harm to the animal it got outta hand and I am sorry." Video from the concert shows two men and Epps dancing around with the kangaroo, which was in a harness, on a leash and appeared uncomfortable in the noisy, confusing situation. One of the handlers picked up the animal and showed it off to the crowd, almost as if it were a prop. "I made a bad decision. I made a bad move," Epps told TMZ on Monday. The plan, he said, was to have the kangaroo run across the back of the stage at the end of the show and draw a laugh from the crowd, with the comic then making like he didn't know what was going on. "But that's not what happened," he said. "They ended up bringing the kangaroo up and wanting to show the kangaroo off on the front of the stage. It just made me look bad." Epps, who said he will be donating to the kangaroo-preservation foundation Viva!, told TMZ that he didn't think the animal's owner should bring it out for entertainment purposes in the future. A rep for Epps didn’t respond immediately to a request for comment. ||||| Mike Epps Apologizes Over Kangaroo Stunt Mike Epps Apologizes Over Kangaroo Stunt During Concert EXCLUSIVE Mike Epps says he's profoundly sorry for causing a kangaroo distress during his Detroit concert. Epps told us when he viewed the video it was apparent ... the stunt was a terrible idea. He says it just kind of happened at the end of his show Friday, when the guy who owned the kangaroo brought it onstage. Epps is clearly upset he's taking big heat online, but insists he loves animals and his history proves it. He's donating cash to a kangaroo humane foundation. ||||| Mike Epps Feds Look Closer at Kangaroo Vid ...

TMZ has learned. A rep for the U.S. Dept of Agriculture tells us the agency wants to make sure the kangaroo was not being mishandled during the comedy show where Mike Epps performed Friday night in Detroit. As we told you, many fans in the audience felt the kangaroo was cruelly displayed onstage. It was lifted up multiple times, and at least once Epps grabbed the animal's harness to pose for a photo. The rep says the Animal Welfare Act requires all handlers to be "in control of the animal at all times." You can tell from the video ... that just wasn't the case. Mike is apologizing, saying he "did not mean any harm to the animal it got out of hand and I am sorry!" He says he will be making a donation to a kangaroo preservation group called Viva.
– Authorities in Colorado are investigating how a 20-year-old nurse died in a bungee jump accident—when the equipment was apparently working properly. Ciara Romero died after a fall Jan. 4 at the 70-foot Get Air attraction at the Silo Trampoline Park in Grand Junction, the Denver Post reports. The jump requires participants to jump off a tower connected to a rope attached to a harness. After free-falling for around 20 feet, they are supposed be caught by the device and slowly lowered to the ground. The Grand Junction Sentinel reports that in results confirmed by state investigators, the company that makes the device says it carried out tests and the "device, webbing, and triple-locking carabiner were found to be intact, and functioning normally." State investigators say they will now focus on witness statements, and the Grand Junction Police Department says no criminal charges will be filed. According a a police report seen by News Channel 5, employees and other witnesses said Romero was reluctant to jump. "She was hesitant, you know, pretty freaked out," one employee told police, "Kind of scared, but excited to go." Video shows employees checking to make sure the harness was properly attached, the report says. The report states that an employee told investigators that it was possible Romero's hand could have slipped and opened the carabiner. The employee said this would have been very difficult, though an officer wrote that he "found the carabiner to be relatively easy to open with one hand" and believes it could have happened accidentally.

GRAND JUNCTION — Investigators say the device at the center of a fatal bungee accident at an indoor recreation park in western Colorado was functioning properly. The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment worked with the manufacturer to test the device and is now investigating other reasons for the Jan. 4 fall that killed 20-year-old Ciara Romero. The woman was participating in a 70-foot (21-meter) bungee-jump feature at Get Air at the Silo when she fell. Participants climb one of the silo’s towers, then transfer to a wooden platform and jump off while attached to a rope. Users fall for about 20 feet (6 meters) and are caught by the device and lowered slowly to the ground. Get Air says it is cooperating with investigators. Information from: The Daily Sentinel ||||| GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - News Channel 5 has obtained the Grand Junction Police Department's investigation into the death of Ciara Romero at the Get Air Silo Trampoline Park. The GJPD has announced no criminal charges will be filed. Romero was one of a group of five using the "Quick Jump" free fall device on January 4th and by multiple accounts from witnesses and employees, Romero was hesitant to jump. "She was hesitant you know, pretty freaked out," the employee at the bottom of the silo told police, "Kind of scared, but excited to go." Employees at both the top and the bottom of the silo told police they were "confident" the harness had been attached properly. Video reviewed by police shows the employee at the top of the silo pulling up on the harness with force to confirm it was attached. The report says at one point Romero sat down. Afterwards, the employee at the top checked the harness again. "I saw the carabiner that was attached to her harness. It caught like it was normally supposed to," the employee at the bottom of the Silo told police. "I saw that she was falling much faster and so I just instinctively tried to get underneath her." Multiple people at Get Air rushed to help, including a former ICU nurse. That person recalled checking for a pulse and felt a light one initially as well as hearing a gasping breath. The former nurse checked for a pulse again, but was unable to find one, and began two rounds of CPR. The employee at the top of the Silo, noticeably shaking when talking to police the report notes, said it was possible Romero's hand slipped and opened the carabineer during the initial jump but thought that would have been difficult to do. "[They are] designed to be difficult to remove with someone's body weight keeping tension on the line," the employee told police. A GJPD officer investigated the carabiner to find that it can be opened with one or two hands. "I found the carabiner to be relatively easy to open with one hand and believe a patron could inadvertently open the device with out knowing," Detective Heil said in the report, noting no flaws or damage on the device. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment is investigating this incident as well and tells News Channel 5 they expect the results this week.
– Antoine Fuqua's The Magnificent Seven remake rode the star power of Denzel Washington to an estimated $35 million debut, topping North American ticket sales over the weekend. It's another win for Washington: Reuters notes that the A-lister hasn't had a movie open to less than $20 million since The Great Debaters in 2007. Sony Pictures' estimate Sunday for The Magnificent Seven had the film far ahead of the week's other new release, Warner Bros.' Storks. The animated movie, starring Andy Samberg as a baby-delivering stork, opened with $21.8 million, reports the AP. A remake of John Sturges' 1960 film, which itself was a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, The Magnificent Seven slots in as one of the biggest openings for a Western ever. The genre-blending Cowboys & Aliens holds the Western record with a $36.4 million debut in 2011. In third place was Clint Eastwood's Sully, which took in $13.8 million in its third weekend.

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Denzel Washington hit the bullseye again. “The Magnificent Seven,” the Oscar-winner’s first western, topped the box office, picking up a solid $35 million. Hollywood’s star system has shriveled in the past decade, with few new talents emerging to reanimate the ranks and stand alongside Leo and Julia and Johnny and George and Brad. Some of their stars have dimmed, but Washington’s still shines brightly. He hasn’t had a film open to less than $20 million since 2007’s “The Great Debaters.” He’ll be back on screens at the end of the year in “Fences,” an adaptation of August Wilson’s play, that he directs and stars in alongside Viola Davis. It is expected to be an Oscar contender. “The Magnificent Seven” easily snagged the crown from “Sully,” the retelling of the “Miracle on the Hudson” landing that topped the box office for two weeks. The drama slid to third place with $13.8 million, bringing its stateside total to a healthy $92.4 million. “Storks,” an animated comedy from Warner Bros., came in second with $21.8 million. It’s a disappointing result given that the picture had been tracking to open to $30 million or higher. The film centers on a group of storks who have transitioned from baby delivering to hauling packed for an e-commerce behemoth. Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jordan Peele are among the recognizable voices providing some of the film’s aural texture. The film cost $70 million to produce and is part of Warner Bros. effort to reinvigorate its animation division after the studio scored a hit with 2014’s “The Lego Movie.” It had more or less abandoned the genre to the likes of Disney and DreamWorks Animation, before undergoing a course correction. “The Magnificent Seven’s” success is welcome news for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which was body checked this summer after “Ben-Hur,” its $100 million-plus Biblical epic, collapsed at the box office, resulting in at least $70 million in losses for the studio and its production co-financiers. Earlier this month, MGM reduced its annual profit projections by roughly $50 million because of “Ben-Hur’s” failure. But “The Magnificent Seven” counts as a win for the company. It also proves the viability of remaking older films, provided their is some novel spin to provide. In this case, Washington and director Antoine Fuqua, were able to stage balletic shootouts that rivaled those in John Sturges’ original 1960 film. They also played up the diversity of their cast, rounding out the cast of mercenaries with South Korean actor Byung-hun Lee, Mexican actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Native American actor Martin Sensmeier. That multi-cultural aspect seemed to resonate in a post-#OscarsSoWhite era. Sony Pictures distributed “The Magnificent Seven” and teamed with MGM, LStar Capital, and Village Roadshow to finance the $90 million production. “Bridget Jones’s Baby” took fourth place with $4.5 million, pushing the romantic comedy’s domestic total to a lackluster $16.5 million after two weeks of release. “Blair Witch” rounded out the top five, earning just under $4 million and bringing its total to roughly $16 million. In limited release, “The Dressmaker,” an Australian comedy with Kate Winslet, opened to $180,522 in 38 locations. Broad Green is distributing the film on behalf of Amazon Studios. Disney’s “Queen of Katwe,” an inspirational drama about a chess prodigy from Uganda, debuted in 55 theaters to $305,000. It will expand next weekend to roughly 1,500 locations.

– A federal official in Mexico confirms that an Aeromexico airliner crashed after taking off in the northern state of Durango Tuesday, the AP reports, but the state's governor says there were no fatalities. Officials said the crash occurred in a field near the state capital's airport, Guadalupe Victoria International Airport; published photos show the smoking plane lying on its belly in the field, apparently relatively intact. The Embraer 190 plane was headed to Mexico City and had 97 passengers and four crew members onboard, CNN reports. An official says the plane "made it off the ground, but fell nose-first" a few hundred yards from the end of the runway, with the nose taking the brunt of the impact. Thirty-seven people reportedly suffered minor injuries.

(CNN) An Aeromexico flight carrying 103 people crashed just after taking off from an airport in northern Mexico, forcing passengers to escape via the emergency slides before the aircraft went up in flames. No one died. Dozens were injured, Durango state officials said, and it appears that a strong wind brought down Flight 2431. "The control tower noticed strong wind currents, and this could have caused the accident," Durango Gov. Jose Aispuro said Tuesday night in a news conference. The plane was en route Tuesday from Durango to Mexico City when it rapidly descended after takeoff, airline and state officials said. Rescue crews flock to the remains of the airplane just beyond the runway. The left wing of the twin-engine jet initially touched the ground, causing the plane to lose both engines. The plane then skidded off the runway at General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport, stopping about 300 meters (1,000 feet) away, Aispuro said.

"The nose took the hit. The most seriously injured is the pilot," Solano Mejia said. However, he said, "the majority of passengers left (the plane) under their own power" and only 37 suffered slight injuries. Earlier, Durango Gov. Jose Aispuro wrote in his Twitter account that "it is confirmed there were no fatalities in the accident." Gerardo Ruiz Eparza, head of Mexico's Transport Department, said there were 97 passengers and four crew members aboard the Embraer 190. The plane has a capacity of 100 passengers. Officials and witnesses differed on whether the plane either fell shortly after takeoff or ran off the runway without really gaining altitude. But they agreed the plane was trying to take off during a storm. The state civil defense office published photos of a burning but relatively intact plane lying on its belly in a field. Ambulances lined up at the accident site to ferry the injured to local hospitals. The federal Transport Department office said in a press statement that the airplane "suffered an accident moments after takeoff," but gave no information on the possible cause. Ruiz Esparza told the Milenio television news channel that "it was a big accident, the plane caught fire ... there was a very strong storm at the time of takeoff." Aeromexico said the plane was on a flight from Durango to Mexico City. The web site Planespotters.net said the Brazilian-made medium-range Embraer 190 was about 10 years old and had seen service with two other airlines before joining the Aeromexico fleet.
– Next Tuesday's Jeopardy will feature a contestant whose lifelong dream was to appear on the show—but who didn't live long enough to see herself on TV. Cindy Stowell, a science content developer from Austin, Texas, was diagnosed with cancer between passing the online contestant test and being invited to appear for an audition in Oklahoma City this summer, CNN reports. She told a producer that doctors believed she only had around six months to live, but she still might be able to appear on the show. She was asked to attend the audition, and after she passed it the show put her in the first available slot on Aug. 31. Stowell, who asked for her winnings to be given to cancer research, died Monday morning. When she appeared on the show, only host Alex Trebek and a few staffers knew she was ill. "When Cindy Stowell taped her appearance on Jeopardy, she had stage 4 cancer. Competing on Jeopardy was a lifelong dream for Cindy, and we're glad she was able to do so," Trebek said in a statement. Her boyfriend, Jason Hess, is encouraging people to watch the show. "She was very intelligent and paired with a sense of humor. It made her fun to be around," he tells the New York Daily News.
