Police secure an area during a police raid in the Molenbeek neighbourhood of Brussels, Belgium on Friday, March 18, 2016. Two French police officials have told The Associated Press that Salah Abdeslam,... (Associated Press)

 BRUSSELS (AP) — The main fugitive from Islamic extremist attacks in Paris in November, Salah Abdeslam, has been arrested in Belgium's capital after four months at large, French police officials said Friday.

 The officials told The Associated Press that he was arrested Friday in a major police operation in the Brussels neighborhood of Molenbeek.

 Both officials are in contact with people involved in the operation and spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing operation.

 Abdeslam, 26, was among the attackers who killed 130 people at a rock concert, the national stadium and cafes on Nov. 13 in Paris.

 In addition to Abdeslam, the whereabouts of two Paris attack suspects remains unknown, including fellow Molenbeek resident Mohamed Abrini and a man known under the alias of Soufiane Kayal.

 Friday's caputure of Abdeslam comes after Belgian authorities say they found his fingerprints in an apartment raided earlier this week in another Brussels neighborhood.

 In that raid, a man believed to have been an accomplice of Abdeslam — Mohamed Belkaid — was shot dead, Belgian prosecutors say. But two men escaped from the apartment, one of whom appears to have been Abdeslam.

 Federal prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt said it was possible Abdeslam had spent "days, weeks or months," in the apartment.

 Abdeslam fled Paris after the Nov. 13 attacks. Most of the Paris attackers died that night, including Abdeslam's brother Brahim, who blew himself up. Brahim Abdeslam was buried in the area Thursday.

 Brussels-born Salah Abdeslam, a childhood friend of suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is believed to have driven a group of gunmen who took part.

 The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks, in which Belgian nationals played key roles.

 On Tuesday, a joint team of Belgian and French police showed up to search a residence in the Forest area of Brussels in connection with the Paris investigation, and were unexpectedly fired upon by at least two people inside. Four officers were slightly wounded.

 An occupant of the residence was shot dead by a police sniper as he prepared to open fire on police from a window. Police identified him as Belkaid, 35, an Algerian national living illegally in Belgium.

 A Kalashnikov assault rifle was found by his body, as well as a book on Salafism, an ultraconservative strain of Islam. Elsewhere in the apartment, police found an Islamic State banner as well as 11 Kalashnikov loaders and a large quantity of ammunition, the prosecutor said.

 Belgian authorities initially said Belkaid had no known background in radical Islamic activities. But Friday afternoon, prosecutors issued a statement saying he was "most probably" an accomplice of Abdeslam who had been using a fake Belgian ID card in the name of Samir Bouzid.

 A man using that ID card was one of the two men seen with Abdeslam in a rental car on the Hungarian-Austrian border in September.

 Four days after the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, the same false ID card was used to transfer 750 euros ($847) to Hasna Ait Boulahcen, Abaaoud's niece. Both Ait Boulahcen and Abaaoud died afterward in a police siege.

 Abdeslam slipped through a police dragnet to return to Brussels after the bloodbath in Paris, and though the target of an international manhunt, has not been found since.

 In January, Belgian authorities said one of his fingerprints was found alongside homemade suicide bomb belts at an apartment in another area of Brussels. Belgian prosecutors said it wasn't known whether he had been at the address in the Schaerbeek district before or after the Paris attacks, or how long he had spent there.

 Raf Casert in Brussels and Raphael Satter and Angela Charlton in Paris contributed to this report. ||||| The most wanted fugitive from November's Paris attacks has been "caught alive" after being wounded in a Brussels shootout, say police.

 The Belgian asylum minister Theo Francken declared, "We got him", referring to 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, Europe's most wanted man.

 Abdeslam suffered leg injuries before being arrested, during a major police operation in the Molenbeek suburb.

 Television footage showed armed security forces dragging a man wearing a hooded top out of a building and to a car.

 At least 10 shots were heard, grenades launched and police helicopters hovered overhead, while fire engines waited in the street.

 Footage showed masked, black-clad security forces training their weapons towards upper windows of an apartment block.

 White smoke could be seen rising above the building, as police with snarling dogs drove crowds in the streets back away from the scene.

 About three hours after Abdeslam's arrest, two blasts were heard, before a further suspect - who was still holed up - was detained.

 In all, Abdeslam was one of five people arrested in the series of raids, which came after a tip-off to police.

 Two of the suspects, including Abdeslam, were injured.

 Three of those arrested are being held on suspicion of sheltering Abdeslam and an accomplice.

 French president Francois Hollande and Belgian PM Charles Michel left a meeting of EU leaders in Brussels on migration amid news of the raid.

 Later, the pair held a joint news conference in Brussels where Mr Hollande said France would ask for Abdeslam's extradition.

 The French leader said it was clear that the Paris attackers had links to Syria and Islamic State and the terror threat remained high.

 The shootout comes after Belgian authorities said that fingerprints in a Brussels apartment raided earlier this week belonged to Abdeslam.

 A man shot dead in that raid is believed to have been an accomplice of Abdeslam, Belgian prosecutors said on Friday.

 Sky's foreign affairs editor Sam Kiley said that Abdeslam could prove to be "a goldmine of intelligence".

 Survivors of the attack at the Bataclan venue in Paris reacted to news of the arrest this evening.

 Lydia Berkennou said: "I don’t know why, but deep down in my heart, I knew one of them was him.

 "I knew because I didn’t think he would’ve managed to go back to Syria … I knew he was hiding somewhere."

 Back in November it was reported that Abdeslam had reportedly returned to Brussels with a suicide vest.

 A police source had told The Sunday Times of fears "there is a walking bomb" in the Belgian capital.

 The source said Abdeslam may have become "trapped and desperate" since fleeing the bloodshed which killed 130 people.

 After the Paris attacks, reports emerged of a row between Abdeslam and his brother Brahim, on the night before the massacre.

 One of their friends told a French documentary he heard one of the brothers telling the other that he was "not going" without money.

 "The other one said: 'No, you’re going!'

 "He said to him: 'If I don't have any dosh, I’m not budging. Without dosh I’m not going'," the friend told the documentary.

 It is unclear whether they were fighting about going to Paris.

 Brahim, 31, eventually blew himself up outside a cafe, injuring 15 people, during the co-ordinated attacks.

 Abdeslam was also filmed outside a cafe on the night of the massacre, pointing his gun at two women hiding under outside tables.

 The women can be seen running for safety after Abdeslam's gun does not go off.

 Terror expert Dr David Lowe told Sky News: "These people are not working on their own - we are looking at terror cells in operations

 "You have to be very very careful before you make the move … you want to gather as much evidence as possible.

 "We’re talking about people who are quite willing to use firearms or explosive devices so … it’s a dangerous situation to have." ||||| (CNN) After a four-month search for Europe's most-wanted fugitive, Paris terror attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam was captured Friday, Belgian officials said.

 Abdeslam was wounded in a gunbattle with authorities in an anti-terror raid in the Brussels' suburb of Molenbeek. Four other people were arrested.

 A man named Monir Ahmed Alaaj -- also known as Amine Choukri -- also was wounded and hospitalized, prosecutors said.

 Belgian federal prosecutor's office spokesman Eric Van der Sypt said the others detained included three members of a family who helped hide Abdeslam.

 Earlier, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told reporters that Abdeslam, a Belgian-born French citizen, and another person were wounded in the raid. Abdeslam had a minor leg wound, Van der Sypt announced.

 French President Francois Hollande said Paris prosecutors will urgently request the extradition of Abdeslam. Hollande told reporters he is confident Abdeslam will be sent to France for trial.

 "I know the Belgian authorities will respond quickly and favorably to our request for extradition," Hollande said.

 Officials said as of Friday night no more suspects were in the building where the raid took place.

 After the news broke, many others joined in with laudatory messages, including Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, where Abdeslam allegedly took part in the carnage that left 130 dead

 "Congratulations to the police on the arrest of Salah Abdeslam," Hidalgo tweeted.

 Lieve Reynebeau, who works on the street where Abdeslam was captured, said she heard loud noises and then looked out to see police all around the scene. She managed to leave the area like others -- "all of us safe" -- by foot.

 Armed and heavily protected police, with helmets and shields, converged on the area. Three explosions were heard there later Friday, CNN French affiliate BFMTV reported, though it wasn't clear if those were controlled blasts or part of a continuing operation.

 And gunshots rang out shortly after 7 p.m. in the same area.

 Police continued to conduct operations in Molenbeek into Saturday morning.

 Molenbeek focus of 'foreign fighter problem'

 Molenbeek, an impoverished Brussels suburb, has a reputation as a hotbed for jihadism . Several members of its large, predominantly Muslim population -- many of whom are first-, second- and third-generation immigrants from North Africa -- have been linked to terror plots and attacks.

 Last fall, Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens cited Molenbeek as a place where more needs to be done to address what he called Belgium's "foreign fighter problem."

 And in the immediate aftermath of the Paris attacks, authorities conducted raids there and detained numerous individuals. One was Mohammed Abdeslam, the brother of the wanted man captured Friday, who was taken into custody and later released.

 Mohammed Abdeslam told Belgian state broadcaster RTBF that he thinks Salah at the "last minute ... decided to reconsider" carrying out an attack himself November 13 -- ones that ended, in the other cases, with the assailants dead.

 One of those who did follow through was another brother, Ibrahim Abdeslam, the suicide bomber who detonated explosives outside a cafe on Paris' Boulevard Voltaire.

 1 killed in Tuesday raid

 Earlier Friday, the Belgian federal prosecutor's office revealed that the 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam's fingerprints and DNA were found in a Brussels apartment raided three days earlier. One person was killed and two people escaped that operation, according to authorities.

 The man killed by a special forces sniper was Mohamed Belkaid, an Algerian who used the name Samir Bouzid , and who is believed to have directed the Paris attackers via calls from Belgium, according to the prosecutor's office.

 Belkaid is believed to have helped Abdeslam travel prior to the attacks and transferred money to a female cousin of Paris ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud following the attack, the Belgian senior counter-terrorism official told CNN in January.

 Authorities believe Abdeslam was using the apartment as a hideout following the Paris attacks, according to the Belgian counter-terrorism official.

 His possible escape spurred an intense manhunt in a country already on guard after last fall's attacks in the French capital.

 Van der Sypt noted earlier this week -- prior to Friday's raid -- that authorities had searched more than 100 houses and arrested 58 people as part of the post-Paris probe. Another 23 people have been arrested "in linked investigations," he said then.

 Suspect thought to have dropped off Paris bomber

 Investigators think Salah Abdeslam may have been the driver of a black Renault Clio that dropped off three suicide bombers near the Stade de France, one of the attack sites near Paris. They also believe he had worn a suicide belt found on a Paris street after the attacks.

 He is believed to have called friends to take him to Belgium after the attacks. They passed through police checkpoints, but Abdeslam had not yet been identified as a suspect and they were allowed to continue on their way.

 Surveillance video emerged of him and another man at a gas station near the Belgian border the day after the attacks.

 He has eluded authorities ever since.

 In January, authorities found traces of explosives and Abdeslam's fingerprints in another Brussels apartment. |||||
What is a summary?

– Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in the Paris terror attacks and Europe's most wanted man, was captured alive Friday during a raid in Brussels, Belgian counterterrorism sources tell CNN and the AP. The 26-year-old was believed to be hiding out in a Brussels apartment since the Nov. 13 attacks, and a raid on that apartment earlier this week turned up Abdeslam's fingerprints and DNA. But two people escaped that raid, apparently including Abdeslam. (One person, an Algerian also believed to have been involved in the Paris attacks via calls from Belgium, was killed in that raid.) Friday's raid reportedly involved a shootout that ended with Abdeslam being brought into custody. Abdeslam is a brother of one of the suicide attackers in Paris, and he is believed to have driven three suicide bombers to one of the attack sites. "We got him," Belgium's asylum minister said about Abdeslam Friday, per Sky News.


– Scout Willis spent Tuesday walking around Manhattan, sans top, while a professional photographer followed her around taking pictures, which Willis then tweeted with the hashtag #freethenipple. Why? She's mad at Instagram. Willis, Bruce and Demi's 22-year-old kid, had one of her photos removed by the picture-sharing site last week because it included two topless models, which Instagram said violated its community guidelines. So Willis started sharing all sorts of pictures of breasts and changed her middle name on the site to "Areola" (sic), though you can't see that right now because her account is disabled, the Daily Dot reports. She then took to Twitter, posting pictures of her topless stroll with the captions "Legal in NYC but not on @instagram" and "What @Instagram won’t let you see." It is legal for women to be topless in public in New York City, though the Daily Dot notes that they are still sometimes arrested for it, and Free the Nipple is a documentary about the fight against the city's censorship laws. People notes that Willis' crusade comes after Rihanna's Instagram account was taken down after she posted topless photos from a magazine shoot, and Gawker adds that Willis' current Twitter avatar is one of those photos. Click to see Willis' topless photos.

Expand this summary.

Person who's here, Scout Willis, floated through the Lower East Side like a topless ghost Tuesday afternoon, scouting locations where nipples are welcome. So far the list consists of: New York City; not Instagram.

 Willis, daughter of Bruce and Demi Moore, posted two images of her topless promenade to Twitter, using the hashtag #FreeTheNipple in protest of Instagram's censorship policy regarding female nudity. (An image of the topless magazine cover that got singer Rihanna's Instagram account suspended in April currently serves as Willis' Twitter avatar.)

 In one image, a shirtless Willis walks away from a fabric store. She has no use for fabric; her skin is her fabric and her nipples are two gemstone embellishments placed symmetrically on the front of her head-to-toe bodysuit. This photo Willis has captioned "What @instagram won't let you see #FreeTheNipple."

 In the other photo, Willis touches flowers, though it is unclear if she intends to purchase them. "Legal in NYC but not on @instagram," writes Willis. (She is referring to bare nipples in the street.)

 [h/t TMZ // Image via @Scout_Willis on Twitter] ||||| Scout Willis, the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, thought Instagram was behaving like a giant boob when the site took down one of her photos, citing a violation of community guidelines. So she decided to retaliate by showing her own, taking a topless stroll around Manhattan to protest Instagram’s anti-nudity policy.

 Via Scout Willis/Twitter

 On Tuesday, Willis tweeted photos of herself using the hashtag #freethenipple. The pictures, taken by professional photog Mario Sorrenti, were captioned “Legal in NYC but not on @instagram” and “What @Instagram won’t let you see.”

 Public female toplessness has been legal in New York City since 1992. But while it’s legal for women to bare their breasts outdoors, police continue to arrest them.

 A documentary film, Free the Nipple, is about the fight against these censorship laws in New York City. The MPAA, of course, limited its exposure by giving the film a NC-17 rating. Spurred on by a topless Miley Cyrus, a hashtag in support of the film, #freethenipple, popped up in late 2013.

 Willis’s crusade against Instagram’s prudishness appears to have started last week, when Instagram removed a photo of a sweatshirt she designed that featured an image of two topless models. She was, to put it mildly, displeased:

 Made a new Instagram,gonna post lots of beautiful photos of naked women I think.Tasteful, non aggressive, whomever wants to see can, if not — Scout LaRue Willis (@Scout_Willis) May 27, 2014

 Since then, Willis has been on a nonstop quest to get Instagram to acknowledge the existence of breasts, specifically her own. She’s been sharing photos of breasts. She’s been tweeting about breasts. She even changed her middle name on Instagram to “Areola.” (Her account is currently disabled).

 But it wasn’t until she stripped down on Manhattan’s Lower East Side that her quest to bare breasts on social media started getting real attention. From the looks of her Twitter, most people are applauding her efforts, tweeting in support of her cause.

 For now, Willis is still furiously tweeting at Instagram in protest of their anti-nudity policy. When I asked her if they had responded yet on Twitter, she was just as succinct as she was, er, topless that one time:

 “@ej_dickson: Hi @Scout_Willis have you heard from Instagram since your protest?” No — Scout LaRue Willis (@Scout_Willis) May 28, 2014

 Willis, 58, and Heming wed in 2009 -- nine years after his high-profile divorce from first wife Demi Moore, with whom the Sixth Sense actor shares three daughters, Rumer, 25, Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 19. A source told Us of Willis' second marriage back in June, "Things are a bit smoother this time around for Bruce."

 The Pulp Fiction star -- who was snapped looking at rabbits with his baby girl during his December farmer's market outing -- is "very present and amazing with Mabel," the same insider told Us in the summer. His second wife, meanwhile, "is a very devoted mother, and supportive of him, so when he needs to work she steps up her mommy game," the source revealed. ||||| Dave M. Benett/Wireimage

 Bruce Willis is about to dive hard into daddy duty — again!

 The Red 2 actor, 58, and his wife Emma Heming-Willis, 37, are expecting their second child together, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

 The Willis’ rep had no comment on the family’s happy news.

 After tying the knot in 2009, Willis and the model turned designer welcomed their daughter Mabel Ray, now 20 months.

 “I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I’m changing diapers like a champ,” the actor told Zoomer in June.

 “What I’ve also discovered is how much love I feel for our baby. I think I’m even more open and more giving as a father now. I pay more attention now because I value it more and I’m less caught up with my career.”

 Willis is also dad to daughters Tallulah, 19, Scout, 22, and Rumer, 25, his children from his previous marriage to Demi Moore.

Summarize this article:

The annual Canadian UFO Survey was released Monday, showing an increase in reports in 2015 compared to 2014 in Canada and Manitoba.

 "Overall in Canada, there was a slight increase in the number of UFO reports, and it's at the second highest level of sightings that we've recorded since we started doing the survey back in the 1980s," said Chris Rutkowski, a science writer who compiled this year's survey.

 In 2015, there were 1,267 reported sightings of UFOs, second only to 1,981 in 2012.

 "That ranges from reports from B.C. right across to Newfoundland," said Rutkowski. "We're very puzzled because we don't hear a lot about UFOs anymore although the UFO sightings continue to come in … in 2015, there was an unusual number of cases from Quebec, in fact three or four times."

 Rutkowski said the survey defines a UFO as objects in the sky that people can't explain.

 "There are many ways for reports to be filed," he said, including reports from official sources like Transport Canada. "They come from every demographic … and all parts of Canada."

 Most of the sightings can be explained by stars, planets, fireballs, aircraft and police helicopters, but about 12 per cent of their total reports remain unexplained despite information from other sources, Rutkowski said.

 "We do break those down into high quality cases, where we do have enough information from a number of sources – investigators have gone to a site or we've talked to the witnesses … It brings the unexplained numbers to a more manageable number of one or two or three per cent," he said.

 One "high quality" unexplained case included one from Manitoba in October of 2015.

 A couple were driving on Dugald Road and saw a very bright light which they thought was a cellphone tower.

 "As they drove a bit closer, they saw it wasn't on a cellphone tower at all," he said. "They saw what they described as a dark triangle that was moving along with the red light in front and a green and another colour on the side."

 Rutkowski said it was silent and didn't look like an aircraft to the couple.

 His group investigated to see if there were any aircraft in the area at the time, but so far, they haven't come up with an explanation for the sighting.

 "The [report] does show that people continue to see things in the sky and whether that's an example of more education that's needed or simply an encouragement to get people to look up more instead of staring at their cellphones, I think it's important that we do continue to talk about this," he said. "As an astronomer, I know it's possible there's life out there somewhere, but we don't have the proof that it's coming here. Whether the aliens would come fly triangles around Dugald Road in the middle of the night – I don't know." ||||| Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive.

 Graham Slaughter, CTVNews.ca

 A pair of orange fireballs streaking across the dark horizon. A mysterious object crashing into Lake Winnipeg. A nighttime visit from a “being with blonde hair and blue skin.”

 These are among 1,267 reported UFO sightings across Canada in 2015, the second-biggest year for unexplained alien activity in the last 30 years.

 The detailed Canadian UFO Survey released Monday by the Winnipeg-based group Ufology Research includes accounts of where, when and precisely what Canadians claim they saw in the sky last year.

 The trove of strange stories includes dozens of unexplained lights, aircraft shaped like discs and diamonds, silently hovering UFOs and a few close encounters of the third kind.

 In one case from Quebec, someone reported seeing three short “humanoids” with heads too big for their bodies and “big, black slanted eyes.” They then heard a high-pitched hum and woke up the next morning.

 The stories may sound unbelievable, and researchers admit that many don’t hold up. Only about 12 per cent of the reports were classified as “unexplained.”

 “The ridicule factor is quite certainly there, but we’re not saying the little grey guys are here. This is simply what people are reporting,” Winnipeg-based UFO researched Chris Rutkowski told CTV News Channel on Tuesday.

 The data was collected from 17 sources across the country including Transport Canada, Canada National Defense, the National UFO Reporting Center and YouTube.

 Witnesses included pilots, police officers and “other individuals with reasonably good observing capabilities and good judgement,” researchers wrote.

 The only year with more UFO sightings than 2015 was 2012. Researchers believe that may have related to reports of a supposed “end-of-days” phenomenon from the Mayan calendar.

 “We do know that the UFO reports continue to be made in growing numbers every year and this is just indicative that people are paying attention to what is in the sky. They’re not just looking down at their cellphones,” Rutkowski said.

 UFOs prefer Quebec

 Quebec led the country with 35 per cent of all UFO reports in 2015 -- a notable jump from previous years when that figure wavered between five and 15 per cent.

 “It could be (that) the media are a little more attentive to the UFOs in Quebec,” Rutkowski said.

 Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland all had an increase in UFO sightings in 2015. In terms of major Canadian cities, Montreal had the most reports with 97, with 78 sightings in Toronto and 69 in Vancouver.

 The average sighting lasted about 16 minutes.

 Ufology Research has collected the reports on a yearly basis since 1989. Since then, they’ve compiled 16,905 sightings.

 Many strange lights, few alien beings

 By and large, Canadians mostly reported seeing strange lights in the night sky. They came in a variety of colours (pink, orange, “brilliant white”) and shapes (orbs, triangles), and some moved in curious zigzagging or stop-and-go patterns.

 The data becomes particularly strange is in several isolated reports of one-on-one contact with alien beings.

 In Montpellier, Que., a “humanoid” reportedly approached a house after lights were seen. In Kentville, N.S., an alien reportedly entered a person’s bedroom and held their shoulders. In Oshawa, Ont., someone reported being abducted aboard a spaceship (a note indicates “photos that don’t show anything.”)

 In an attached essay on the data, researchers ponder what, if not proof of alien life, underlies the eyewitness reports.

 “Is this phenomenon psychological, sociological, cultural, and/or physical? Is it our contemporary culture’s storytelling? Is it our collective psychological and social mythology generating what myths have generated since ancient times, answers to our desires, visions of our nightmares, and insights into what our future may hold? Or is the phenomenon something else? Physical objects created by our species or another form of life we cannot begin to understand?”

 Canadians more open to discussing UFOs

 The steadily rising reports of UFOs could be linked to several factors: the popularization of drones, camera phones, laser pointers, at-home strobe lights. But Rutkowski suggests that the increase likely relates to the country’s collective curiosity.

 “People are more interested. I think other people will talk to each other at a party or in school or university, and these are the types of topics people are interested in,” he said.

 He added that, as writers like Stephen Hawking continue to pen popular books on outer space, humankind will continue to question the existence of extra-terrestrial life.

 “Because space is so much in the public eye, I think people are paying a little more attention to the possibility that we are not alone.”

– Perhaps aliens have taken a liking to the Great White North. The annual Canadian UFO Survey by Winnipeg-based Ufology Research shows "the second highest level of sightings that we've recorded since we started doing the survey back in the 1980s," with 1,267 across Canada in 2015, rep Chris Rutkowski tells the CBC. Only 2012 had more, with 1,981 sightings. The provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland each saw an increase in reports over 2014, but Quebec outpaced them all, according to data from 17 sources, including Transport Canada and YouTube. The province, which typically produces 5% to 15% of all UFO reports in Canada, generated 35% of reports in 2015, reports the Canadian Press. Montreal led Canadian cities with 97 reports, followed by 78 in Toronto, and 69 in Vancouver. That doesn't mean there were that many unexplained cases; about 88% of unidentifiable objects turn out to be stars, planets, airplanes, or helicopters, Rutkowski says. Ufology Research investigates the remaining cases—by visiting a site and talking to witnesses—to determine if a case is "high quality." About 1% to 3% of cases fall into this group, Rutkowski says. One of the perhaps not-so-high-quality ones: A resident in Sainte-Brigitte de Laval, Quebec, recalled seeing three 4-feet-tall "humanoids" with huge heads and "big, black slanted eyes," and hearing a high-pitched hum. "We're not saying the little grey guys are here," Rutkowski tells CTV News. "This is simply what people are reporting." (Aliens might also have a thing for Florida.)

Talcum Powder and Cancer

 What is talcum powder?

 Talcum powder is made from talc, a mineral made up mainly of the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. As a powder, it absorbs moisture well and helps cut down on friction, making it useful for keeping skin dry and helping to prevent rashes. It is widely used in cosmetic products such as baby powder and adult body and facial powders, as well as in a number of other consumer products.

 In its natural form, some talc contains asbestos, a substance known to cause cancers in and around the lungs when inhaled (see our document Asbestos). All talcum products used in homes in the United States have been asbestos-free since the 1970s.

 Most concerns about a possible link between talcum powder and cancer have been focused on:

 Whether people who have long-term exposure to natural talc fibers at work, such as talc miners, are at higher risk of lung cancer from breathing them in.

 Whether women who apply talcum powder regularly in the genital area have an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

 Does talcum powder cause cancer?

 When talking about whether or not talcum powder is linked to cancer, it is important to distinguish between talc that contains asbestos and talc that is asbestos-free. Talc that has asbestos is generally accepted as being able to cause cancer if it is inhaled. This type of talc is not used in modern consumer products. The evidence about asbestos-free talc, which is still widely used, is less clear.

 Researchers use 2 main types of studies to try to figure out if a substance or exposure causes cancer.

 Lab studies: In studies done in the lab, animals are exposed to a substance (often in very large doses) to see if it causes tumors or other health problems. Researchers might also expose normal cells in a lab dish to the substance to see if it causes the types of changes that are seen in cancer cells. It’s not always clear if the results from these types of studies will apply to humans, but lab studies are a good way to find out if a substance might possibly cause cancer.

 Studies in people: Another type of study looks at cancer rates in different groups of people. Such a study might compare the cancer rate in a group exposed to a substance to the rate in a group not exposed to it, or compare it to what the expected cancer rate would be in the general population. But sometimes it can be hard to know what the results of these studies mean, because many other factors might affect the results.

 In most cases neither type of study provides enough evidence on its own, so researchers usually look at both lab-based and human and studies when trying to figure out if something causes cancer.

 Studies in the lab

 Studies that exposed lab animals (rats, mice, and hamsters) to asbestos-free talc in various ways have had mixed results, with some showing tumor formation and others not finding any.

 Studies in people

 Ovarian cancer

 It has been suggested that talcum powder might cause cancer in the ovaries if the powder particles (applied to the genital area or on sanitary napkins, diaphragms, or condoms) were to travel through the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes to the ovary.

 Many studies in women have looked at the possible link between talcum powder and cancer of the ovary. Findings have been mixed, with some studies reporting a slightly increased risk and some reporting no increase. Many case-control studies have found a small increase in risk. But these types of studies can be biased because they often rely on a person’s memory of talc use many years earlier. Two prospective cohort studies, which would not have the same type of potential bias, have not found an increased risk.

 For any individual woman, if there is an increased risk, the overall increase is likely to very be small. Still, talc is widely used in many products, so it is important to determine if the increased risk is real. Research in this area continues.

 Lung cancer

 Some studies of talc miners and millers have suggested an increased risk of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases, while others have found no increase in lung cancer risk. These studies have been complicated by the fact that talc in its natural form can contain varying amounts of asbestos and other minerals, unlike the purified talc in consumer products. When working underground, miners can also be exposed to other substances that might affect lung cancer risk, such as radon.

 No increased risk of lung cancer has been reported with the use of cosmetic talcum powder.

 Other cancers

 Talc use has not been strongly linked to other cancers, although not all possible links with other cancers have been studied extensively.

 One study suggested genital talcum powder use may slightly increase the risk of endometrial (uterine) cancer in women who are past menopause. But other studies have not found such a link. Further studies are needed to explore this topic.

 Some limited research has also looked at a possible link between inhaled talc exposure at work and other cancers, such as stomach cancer. But there is no strong evidence of such links at this time.

 What expert agencies say

 Several national and international agencies study substances in the environment to determine if they can cause cancer. (A substance that causes cancer or helps cancer grow is called a carcinogen.) The American Cancer Society looks to these organizations to evaluate the risks based on evidence from laboratory, animal, and human research studies.

 The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is part of the World Health Organization (WHO). Its major goal is to identify causes of cancer.

 IARC classifies talc that contains asbestos as “carcinogenic to humans.”

 Based on the lack of data from human studies and on limited data in lab animal studies, IARC classifies inhaled talc not containing asbestos as “not classifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans.”

 Based on limited evidence from human studies of a link to ovarian cancer, IARC classifies the perineal (genital) use of talc-based body powder as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

 The US National Toxicology Program (NTP) is formed from parts of several different government agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The NTP has not fully reviewed talc (with or without asbestos) as a possible carcinogen.

 (For more information on the classification systems used by these agencies, see our document Known and Probable Human Carcinogens.)

 Can I reduce my exposure to talcum powder?

 It is not clear if consumer products containing talcum powder increase cancer risk. Studies of personal use of talcum powder have had mixed results, although there is some suggestion of a possible increase in ovarian cancer risk. There is very little evidence at this time that any other forms of cancer are linked with consumer use of talcum powder.

 Until more information is available, people concerned about using talcum powder may want to avoid or limit their use of consumer products that contain it.

 The jury ruling ended the trial that began Sept. 26 in the case brought by Deborah Giannecchini of Modesto, California. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2012. The suit accused Johnson & Johnson of "negligent conduct" in making and marketing its baby powder.

 "We are pleased the jury did the right thing," said Jim Onder, an attorney for the plaintiff. "They once again reaffirmed the need for Johnson & Johnson to warn the public of the ovarian cancer risk associated with its product."

 Carol Goodrich, a spokeswoman with Johnson & Johnson, could not immediately be reached for comment. In a statement provided to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, she said: "We deeply sympathize with the women and families impacted by ovarian cancer. We will appeal today's verdict because we are guided by the science, which supports the safety of Johnson's Baby Powder."

 Earlier this year, two other lawsuits in St. Louis ended in jury verdicts worth a combined $127 million. But two others in New Jersey were thrown out by a judge who said there wasn't reliable evidence that talc leads to ovarian cancer, an often fatal but relatively rare form of cancer. Ovarian cancer accounts for about 22,000 of the 1.7 million new cases of cancer expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. this year.

 About 2,000 women have filed similar suits, and lawyers are reviewing thousands of other potential cases, most generated by ads touting the two big verdicts out of St. Louis — a $72 million award in February to relatives of an Alabama woman who died of ovarian cancer, and a $55 million award in May to a South Dakota survivor of the disease.

 Much research has found no link or a weak one between ovarian cancer and using baby powder for feminine hygiene, and most major health groups have declared talc harmless. Johnson & Johnson, whose baby powder dominates the market, maintains it's perfectly safe.

 But Onder of the Onder Law Firm in suburban St. Louis, which represented plaintiffs in all three St. Louis cases, cited other research that began connecting talcum powder to ovarian cancer in the 1970s. He said case studies have indicated that women who regularly use talc on their genital area face up to a 40 percent higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. ||||| SHARE THIS ARTICLE Share Tweet Post Email

 Johnson & Johnson lost a third straight trial over claims its talcum powder can cause ovarian cancer with a St. Louis jury awarding a California woman more than $70 million.

 J&J is accused in about 1,700 lawsuits in state and federal court of ignoring studies linking its baby powder and Shower-to-Shower talc products to ovarian cancer and failing to warn customers about the risk. Thursday’s verdict follows damages verdicts of $72 million and $55 million against the company this year in the first two talc claims to go to trial in St. Louis. Both are being appealed.

 Deborah Giannecchini, 62, used J&J’s baby powder for feminine hygiene for more than four decades until her diagnosis with ovarian cancer three years ago, according to her lawyers. She has an 80 percent chance of dying in the next two years, and has undergone surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, they said.

 A J&J unit was ordered to pay $65 million in punitive damages and 90 percent of about $2.5 million for medical costs and pain and suffering. Co-defendant Imerys Talc America, the supplier of the talc, was hit with $2.5 million in punitive damages. Jurors returned the verdict after deliberating for about three hours.

 The company should have provided a warning label on the product to let consumers decide whether to use talc, one juror Billie Ray, 76, of St. Louis, said after the trial. “It seemed like Johnson & Johnson didn’t pay attention,” she said. “It seemed like they didn’t care.”

 Giannecchini appeared overwhelmed by the verdict. “I’ve waited for a long time for this,” she said. “I’ve wanted this so badly.”

 J&J will appeal, said Carol Goodrich, company spokeswoman. “We are guided by the science, which supports the safety of Johnson’s Baby Powder,” she said in a statement.

 Imerys ‘Disappointed’

 Imerys is “disappointed’’ with the verdict, said Dan Rene, a company spokesman. Imerys had been cleared in the two prior St. Louis trials, as well as in two claims dismissed in New Jersey, Rene said in a statement.

 “This verdict serves to undermine efforts by the scientific community to determine the true causes of ovarian cancer,’’ Rene said. “The theories relied upon by plaintiffs’ experts lacked scientific foundation.’’

 J&J is facing hundreds of claims in St. Louis state court, which has become a magnet for plaintiffs’ product defect claims, as well as about 300 suits in Los Angeles, another 200 in New Jersey and a growing number of federal cases combined before one judge in that state. A New Jersey state court judge last month threw out two talc cases set for trial, finding inadequate scientific support for the claims.

 JNJ has denied any link to talc use and ovarian cancer.

 “Science, research, clinical evidence and decades of studies by medical experts around the world continue to support the safety of cosmetic talc,’’ Goodrich said before the verdict. The New Jersey dismissal decision “highlights the lack of scientific evidence behind plaintiffs’ allegations,” she said.

 Risk Known

 J&J was aware of “30 years of studies showing an increased risk of ovarian cancer from the use of talc,” Giannecchini’s lawyer, Allen Smith, told jurors in the St. Louis trial. “They knew, and they knew the public was unaware of the risk.” Instead of adding warning labels, J&J “developed a defense strategy to prevent government regulation of its products,” he said.

 “I think the jury heard our message loud and clear,” Smith said after the verdict. “If this doesn’t send a message to J&J to add a warning, I don’t know what will.”

 The case is Hogans v. Johnson & Johnson, 1422-CC09012-01, Circuit Court, St. Louis City, Missouri (St. Louis). |||||Summary:

– For more than 40 years, Deborah Giannecchini used Johnson & Johnson baby powder and other talcum powder products—and on Thursday, a St. Louis jury awarded more than $70 million in damages on her claim, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The 63-year-old Californian said those J&J products contributed to her developing ovarian cancer. The jury voted against J&J 10-2—one of the dissenters actually didn't think the award was enough—with an award of $575,000 in medical damages, $2 million in compensatory damages, $2.5 million in compensatory damages against Imerys Talc (the producer of the talcum powder), and $65 million in punitive damages against J&J. About half of the punitive damages will go to the Missouri Crime Victims' Compensation Program, per Jim Onder of Onder Law, which has handled all three cases with awarded damages so far. Memos from inside J&J show the company knew for decades about research tying the use of talc powder to ovarian cancer, Onder says—though CNBC says "much" of that research has been "weak." Giannecchini, however, had no clue of possible risks. "There isn't a way to describe how you feel ... when you're told you probably won't make it beyond the next year," she says of receiving her stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2012. Per her lawyers, Giannecchini has about an 80% chance of dying within the next two years, Bloomberg reports. Not that Onder expects J&J to cede to the nearly 2,000 state and federal complaints against it; instead, he believes the company will take a "scorched-earth legal policy" and not settle "until they absolutely have to." In a statement, a J&J rep says the company will appeal because it's "guided by the science, which supports the safety of Johnson's Baby Powder."
