Three Killed In Athens Bank Fire Amid Strike
7 : 00pm UK , Wednesday 05 May 2010
Three people have died after rioters in Greece set fire to a bank in Athens during a nationwide <m> strike </m> against huge spending cuts aimed at rescuing the country's economy .
Greek police clashed with protesters in the capital as tens of thousands of people joined a 24 - hour walkout .
The three bank workers - two women and a man - were killed when their branch went up in flames after a protester threw a petrol bomb inside .
Firefighters rescued another five people from the balcony .
Greek prime minister George Papandreou condemned the killings , saying : "A demonstration is one thing and murder is quite another" .
He added : "We will , of course , stand alongside the families who lost loved ones .
This is the least we can do .
"To those who now mourn the loss of three children we say that the perpetrators will be identified and held accountable for what they've done . "
The general strike was staged as a protest against a new round of draconian austerity measures .
Police said as many as 20 , 000 people took to the streets of Athens as rallies all around the country kicked off .
Also in the capital , a large group of people attempted to break through a riot police cordon guarding the parliament building .
The protesters launched rocks and petrol bombs at the officers , who responded with stun grenades and tear gas - filling Syntagma Square with chemical smoke .
Violence was also reported in Thessaloniki , where a further 20 , 000 people joined the city's demonstrations .
Greece has been paralysed by the strike and was effectively cut - off from the outside world .
Flights to and from the country were grounded , while trains and ferries suspended their routes .
Hospitals and schools were also hit .
The Greek government is attempting to slice 30bn euros ( οΏ½25 . 7bn ) from its deficit over the next three years .
The country has to save money as a condition of a 110bn - euro emergency rescue package from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund .
Ordinary workers are furious .
Trade unions say their members are having to pay for an economic crisis that has been created by corrupt politicians
The vice president of the civil servants' union , Elias Vrettakos , told Sky News : "The measures of the government overtake our historic gains and abolish our rights and return society back to the 1960s . "
Other union leaders have called the cuts "savage attacks on workers' rights" .
Markets around the world remained sceptical about the bail - out , as concerns grew about the economic crisis in the eurozone and fears it will spead .

War - Zone Athens : three people dead , many buildings burning as general strike march turns into a battle
May 5 2010 15 : 14
Three people have suffocated to death as a result of a fire in Marfin Bank during ongoing <m> battles </m> between anti - measure protesters and police in Athens .
The Athens protest march marking the zenith of the general strike called for the 5th of May was attended by an approximate 200 , 000 ( 20 , 000 which is the foreign broadcast number referring to the PAME march alone ) , although because of lack of media coverage due to the media participation in the general strike no concrete estimates can be made .
After the PAME ( Communist Party union ) protesters left Syntagma square , the first lines of the main march started arriving before the Parliament with the first clashes erupting at the end of Stadiou street .
The march then walked on the Unknown Soldier grounds leading the Presidential Guard to retreat , and attempted to storm the Parliament but was pushed back by riot police forces which today demonstrated a particularly staunch attitude and resolve against the demonstrators .
Soon battles erupted around the Parliament with protesters throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks , with one riot police armored van torched , and the police responding by extended use of tear gas that soon made Athens' atmosphere unbearably acrid .
As more blocks reached Syntagma square , the battles spread across the city center and lasted for more than five hours .
During the clashes several state buildings were set ablaze including the County Headquarters of Attika .
At the time of writing the Ministry of Finance is reported to be on fire , and vital tax documents as destroyed by the raging fire .
However the strange thing is that it is the fourth floor of the building that is burning , at a height inapproachable to petrol bombs .
The building is in danger of total collapse .
According to news reports that began at 14 : 00 Greek time after , under pressure by the events , most radio and TV stations decided to break their strike , claim that the fire at Marfin Bank's Stadiou street branch that has led to the death of three workers ( one a pregnant woman ) was started by protesters .
However this remains an unsubstantiated claim .
A similar case three decades ago had originally put the blame for the fire at Kappa - Marousi building on Panepistimiou street , leading to the death of several people inside , to anarchists , while its was later proved the fire was caused by tear gas fired by the police .
After the tragic death of the three workers made the round of Athens , new clashes started to spread in the Greek capital , with a large crowd gathered outside the burned bank when Marfin's boss tried to visit the site .
Clashes broke out between the crowd and police when the former attacked the bank magnate accusing him of forcing the dead workers to scab on a general strike and locking them in the building despite them demanding to evacuate it since 12 : 00 .
In Parliament the Communist Party of Greece has accused the government for the deaths , claiming it was a result of agents provocateur fascist groups .
The claims of the Communist Party are based on the fact that 50 fascists tried to enter the PAME demo bearing the flags of the union earlier in the morning .
The fascists were spotted , chased and sought refuge behind riot police lines .
Accusing the extreme - right as being behind the deaths , the Coalition of Radical Left has declared in Parliament that the government cannot pretend to be in grief for the loss of life , as it has been attacking human life by all means possible .
Meanwhile , extended clashes broke out in Salonika where approximately 50 , 000 people marched destroying dozens of banks and corporate shops in Greece's second largest city .
Clashes with the police continued for several hours .
According to news broadcasts anarchist have occupied the Labour Center of the city .
In Patras , around 20 , 000 protesters were joined by tractor drivers and garbage truck drivers on their vehicles , as flaming barricades were erected along central streets of the city and clashes developed between protestors and the police .
In Ioannina the protesters attacked banks and corporate shops leading to extended use of chemicals by the police .
In Heraklion , 10 , 000 people are reported as marching against the measures .
In Corfu , protesters taking part in the anti - measures march occupied the County Headquarters .
Protesters have occupied the Administrative Headquarters of Naxos and the City Hall of Naoussa .
As a result of the Athens riots , the police have cordoned off the entire center of the city , erecting check points of entry and exit , while all police work permits have been recalled .
At the time of writing battles continue to rage in the inner city , while news broadcasts claim the police is mobilising its forces to storm an anarchist squat in Exarcheia . | No |

'There β s a lot of anger here' : <m> Riot </m> breaks out in Brooklyn following candlelight vigil for 16 - year - old shot by cops
Memorial for Kimani 'Kiki' Gray , who was fatally wounded by police Saturday after allegedly pointing a gun in their direction , turned ugly as nearly 100 angry mourners clashed with cops , tossing bottles and creating a melee .
PUBLISHED : MONDAY , MARCH 11 , 2013 , 10 : 34 PM
UPDATED : TUESDAY , MARCH 12 , 2013 , 9 : 36 AM
Anger over the death of a Brooklyn teenager shot and killed by police fueled a riot on the streets of East Flatbush Monday β projectiles were hurled at cops , car windows were smashed and a pharmacy customer had a bottle bashed over his head .
The scenes of violence on blocks near the NYPD β s 67th Precinct stationhouse followed a protest march that grew out of a candlelight vigil for Kimani ( Kiki ) Gray , 16 , killed by police bullets on Saturday .
In the aftermath of the riot , as police were trying to secure the area and assess damage to stores along streets strewn with broken glass , City Councilman Jumaane Williams called for Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Mayor Bloomberg to visit the community .
β There β s a lot of anger here , β said Williams , whose district includes the riot zone .
β This isn β t just from one particular shooting .
A whole community has not been heard for far too long . β
Kelly visited the precinct stationhouse about 12 : 30 a . m . Tuesday β more than four hours after the chaos began β but did not speak to reporters .
The vigil for Kimani was held at E . 52nd St . and Tilden Ave . , the location of the shooting , which has caused tensions to simmer in the community , in part because the boy β s family contests police allegations that he was armed with a handgun .
Starting at about 8 p . m . , nearly 100 people set off from the vigil site to march the more than 20 blocks to the precinct stationhouse , on Snyder Ave . near Nostrand Ave .
But the procession , peaceful at first , turned into a wild confrontation between furious marchers and cops after a faction broke off from the group and began to smash car and store windows with rocks and jump on the tops of vehicles , police sources and witnesses said .
β I was sitting in my living room , β said Mary John , 43 , who witnessed destruction near E . 31st St . and Church Ave .
β People were standing up on vehicles .
I saw them take garbage from the sidewalk and throw it onto the street .
I saw someone take a TV and smash it into my neighbor β s car .
They were throwing rocks at the cars .
β I said , β Oh my god !
What β s going on here ? β β she continued .
β They were calling out , β Rest in peace , Kiki . β
I was shocked . β
Abdoulaye Barry , 24 , who works at African Movies , at Church Ave . and E . 31st St . , described how rioters tried to storm the business .
He said he was outside , saw rioters causing mayhem in the streets , and rushed back to urge his co - workers to lock the store β s gates .
Rioters rushed the entrance , fighting with workers as they struggled to lock the roll - down gates , he said .
The workers succeeded β barely .
But they locked themselves into the store from the inside .
Firefighters later had to cut the gates to liberate them .
β It was like the end of the world , β Barry told the Daily News .
β That β s the first time something like that had happened here . β
At a Rite Aid drug store on Church Ave . near Albany Ave . , which had about 60 people inside at the time , at least one rioter physically assaulted a customer β cracking him over the head with a glass bottle .
He was rushed to Kings County Hospital and listed in stable condition later , a police spokeswoman said .
A manager of the store was also assaulted ; he refused medical attention , the spokeswoman said .
There were unconfirmed reports the store was looted ; the police spokeswoman said only that the cash registers were not robbed .
When cops finally managed to block the mob β s progress , about a block from the 67th Precinct stationhouse , rioters began pitching glass bottles at police officers as they moved in on the crowd , a police source said .
One person threw a garbage can at a cop , the source added .
β They β re acting rowdy and calling us racist , β said a police officer at the scene .
As rioters fled into the night and protestors began making their way back toward E . 52nd St . , Williams joined the fray and tried to prevent more violence .
β The mayor and the [ police ] commissioner should be down here .
Right now ! β
Williams , a critic of NYPD policy , said before Kelly appeared on the scene .
β There β s a feeling that they don β t really care .
They are leading and policing for one portion of this city .
But they β re not paying attention to the other parts ; they β re not listening to them . β
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio , a Democratic candidate for mayor this year , also came to the area Monday night .
β I understand if young people are frustrated , but we have to help them understand the way to deal with it should be a peaceful way , β he said .
β They have every right to protest β that β s the American way . β
Williams said he was not surprised by the riot , only that it hadn β t happened before .
Critics of the NYPD β s controversial stop - and - frisk policy argued it leads to distrust of the police by the black community because its members are stopped in such high numbers .
β When something happens , we should be able to trust the police and what they say , β Williams said .
β Police officers shooting black men , black men shooting black men , it β s a problem that needs to be dealt with .
If they want to ignore it , it β s just going to keep happening . β
Following the shooting death of Kimani on Saturday , police officials said he flashed a gun at a pair of plainclothes cops who approached a stoop where he and others were hanging out .
Police said a loaded . 38 - caliber revolver was recovered at the scene β but family of the slain teen , who was hit multiple times by police bullets , vehemently deny that he was carrying a weapon .
Before the riot Monday , a police source told The News that investigators believe Kimani was a member of the Bloods street gang .
The source pointed to two YouTube videos , published last year , that featured violence between Bloods and Crips .
The source said Kimani appears in both videos , which The News has refrained from publishing due to graphic content .
In one video , Kimani is clad in a red Adidas hoodie and goes by the nickname β Shapow , β the source said .
He can be seen taunting and hitting a 13 - year - old rival on Nostrand Ave . near Glenwood Rd . in Flatbush after the adversary flashed gang signs and said he runs with the Crips .
Kimani also swiped a beaded necklace from the Crip and then stomped on it , the video shows , while his friends in the background identified themselves as Bloods .
The second video captured an apparent Crips retaliation following the smackdown .
A group of self - identified Crips stormed a McDonald β s on Utica Ave . and Ave . H in Flatbush after they spotted Kimani and other alleged Bloods inside , according to the video .
After a minute of heckling and heated exchanges inside the McDonald β s , the Crips retreated outside .
They mocked Kimani for refusing to come out into the parking lot .

<m> unrest </m> in Greek government under fire
A week of violence in Greece has taken its toll on the fragile conservative government , with opinion polls showing many think authorities mishandled the worst rioting in decades .
The shooting of a 15-year-old boy by police unleashed a wave of <m> unrest </m> by thousands of students and anarchists across the country .
This comes at a time where there is growing anger over political scandals and the impact of a global recession on Greece 's economy .
While the violence has generally subsided in the past few days , small groups of hooded youngsters are still hurling fire bombs , smashing shops and fighting running battles with riot police .
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has pledged to ensure security , rebuffing calls for early elections .
An opinion poll published by Ethnos newspaper on Sunday said 83.3 percent of Greeks were unhappy with the government 's response to the violence .
`` I 'm tired of coming to the shop every night to check the damages .
You think it 's going to calm down and then it starts again. '' said Anna Pavlidou , manager of a central Athens mobile phone store that has been repeatedly attacked and looted .
`` The government should assume its responsibilities and resign .
It did n't handle it well .
If it had , we would n't have 355 damaged shops in Athens .
I mean we will not be able to open until Christmas. '' she said .
A policeman charged with killing Alexandros Grigoropoulos has been jailed along with a colleague pending trial , while more than 400 protesters have been detained over the unrest . | No |

<m> win </m> in Colts Clinch Playoff Berth With 31-24 Victory Against Jaguars
Keiwan Ratliff scored on a 35-yard interception return last night to give the Indianapolis Colts a 31-24 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and the No. 5 seed position in the National Football League playoffs .
The Colts , trailing 14-0 at the start of the second quarter , scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to clinch their eighth straight <m> win </m> .
Dallas Clark scored on a one- yard pass and Adam Vinatieri tied the game at 24-24 with a 45-yard field goal before Ratliff intercepted a David Garrard pass , the only turnover of the game , for the winning touchdown .
`` We were grateful for the win , '' Colts coach Tony Dungy said in a post-game broadcast interview .
`` For a long time there it was in doubt . ''
Peyton Manning completed 29 of 34 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns as the Colts ( 11-4 ) recorded their sixth come- from-behind win this season .
`` We 've overcome a lot of obstacles , '' Manning said .
`` We just keep fighting . ''
The Jaguars ( 5-10 ) opened the scoring at Jacksonville Stadium in the first quarter with a 28-yard pass from Garrard to Dennis Northcutt .
Garrard , who completed 28 passes for 329 yards , ran for two yards to give Jacksonville a 14-0 lead in the second quarter .
Manning then threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne before Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee made a 44-yard field goal to give Jacksonville a 17-7 halftime lead .
Manning connected with Dominic Rhodes on a 10-yard scoring pass in the third quarter , which was countered by Montell Owens 's two-yard run to give the Jaguars a 24-14 lead .

<m> victory </m> in Precision and perfection defined Colts quaterback Peyton Manning 's start against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He completed his first 17 passes .
Meanwhile , inconsistency and an inability to score at the end of the game defined Jaguars quarterback David Garrard 's Thursday night .
`` It 's a 60-minute game -- he played a really good game for 3 1/2 quarters , '' Colts defensive back Antoine Bethea said .
The Jaguars led for three quarters , but 17 unanswered points in the fourth did them in .
Manning completed 29 of 34 passes for 364 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Colts ' 31-24 <m> victory </m> over the Jaguars at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium .
Jacksonville fell to 5-10 on its way to its first losing year since Coach Jack Del Rio 's initial season ( 5-11 ) in 2003 .
The loss ended a sordid home campaign in which the Jaguars went 2-6 .
The Colts ( 11-4 ) , on an eight-game winning streak , clinched a playoff berth .
Tony Dungy became the first coach since the 1970 merger to take his team to the playoffs in 10 consecutive years .
Garrard threw for a career-high 329 yards , but late in the fourth quarter he made costly mistakes .
After scoring on four of their first five drives , including their first two , the Jaguars punted to start the fourth quarter .
On their next drive , with 4:48 remaining in the game , Garrard threw an interception to defensive back Keiwan Ratliff , who returned the pick 35 yards for a touchdown .
`` It was actually man-coverage , and he made a smart play by dropping off of Dennis [ Northcutt ] , '' Garrard said .
`` You never see that in man coverage .
They know we like the slant game on that down and distance and they watched tape . ''
The score gave Indianapolis its first lead of the game .
Garrard finished with 28 completions on 41 attempts , a touchdown and an interception .
The Jaguars had one final chance to win the game , fielding a Colts punt with 2:34 remaining .
But with 12 seconds left , Garrard dropped back to pass and found Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney on top of him , nine yards behind the line of scrimmage .
The sack ended the game .
`` I did n't even see it coming , '' Garrard said .
`` So I could n't use my legs to make a play . ''
For the second home game in a row , the Jaguars started aggressively .
They won the coin toss , and then elected to receive , just like they did against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday .
Then they scored immediately , just like they did on Sunday .
On their second drive , the Jaguars scored again , jumping to a 14-0 lead with a 2-yard touchdown run by Garrard .
Despite the Colts ' passing perfection , Indianapolis could n't score .
`` This is a funny game , '' Manning said .
`` We were completing some passes , but were down 14-0 .
So that dominated our thoughts . ''
In the second half , Manning really went to work .
He threw two touchdown passes and set up a game-tying 45-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri .
And any time the Colts needed something to happen , they went to their passing game .
Running plays were unreliable .
The Jaguars could stop those .
The Colts gained just 32 yards rushing .
But the passes baffled the Jaguars ' defense , sailing at the most important times to exactly where they needed to be .
`` Peyton Manning is a good quarterback , '' Jaguars safety Reggie Nelson said .
`` He has always been good .
That 's what he does . '' | Yes |

Indianapolis Colts clinch playoff berth with <m> win </m> over Kansas City Chiefs
December 23 , 2012
Going into week 16 , the Indianapolis Colts controlled their own destiny of making it to post - season play .
The Colts could clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs or a Pittsburgh Steelers loss .
As they have done all season , the Colts refused to let their fate be decided by anyone other than themselves .
The young team fought hard to defeat the Chiefs in another fourth quarter victory , 20 - 13 .
Although they started the game with a three - and - out , the Colts were able to light up the scoreboard first .
Corner back Darius Butler intercepted Brady Quinn for a 32 yard defensive touchdown .
This was Butler's second pick - six of the season , his first against the Jacksonville Jaguars .
The Colts defense was able to keep the Chiefs out of the end zone in the first half .
Throughout the game , the Chiefs defense and running game posed a serious threat to the Colts shot at the playoffs .
The Chiefs rushed for over 350 yards giving their two leading running backs over 100 yards each .
Jamaal Charles rushed for 226 yards while Peyton Hillis added 101 .
Kansas City emerged from the locker room with an extra burst of energy .
Charles kicked off the second half with an 86 yard rushing touchdown .
Despite their intimidating numbers on the ground , the Chiefs were not able to find any consistency in their passing game .
Aside from Charles' second quarter score , Kansas City failed to find themselves in the end zone .
A Ryan Succop field goal tied the game at 13 late in the third quarter .
After failing to convert on a crucial fourth down , the Chiefs gave the Colts possession early in the fourth .
As they have done a number of times in the fourth quarter , the Colts capitalized on this opportunity .
Andrew Luck completed his first and only touchdown pass of the day to Reggie Wayne , putting the Colts up once again .
In the end , the Colts held on to their 20 - 13 lead , winning the game and securing a spot in the playoffs .
The Colts now will end the season with a double digit number in the win column , five times as many as last season .
Indianapolis' head coach Chuck Pagano , is expected to rejoin his team just as they prepare for the post - season .
Pagano has proven to be a source of motivation and inspiration to the Colts this season .
The odds may be stacked against them , the Colts certainly have what it takes to make the unbelievable happen .
They have overcome a number of obstacles this season , far surpassing any expectations placed upon them .
The Colts will face their division rivals , the Houston Texans , at home in Indianapolis for their final game of the regular season .
The Colts were defeated by the Texans in week 14 .
With a clinched playoff berth , the Colts can focus on how they will match up against a playoff - caliber team before Wildcard Weekend .

Chiefs <m> lose </m> 20 - 13 to a fourth quarter Indianapolis Colt stampede
Sunday 23 Dec 2012
The Kansas City Chiefs lost possibly the best game they β ve played this season .
They lost to a fourth quarter Colt stampede 20 - 13 .
This time it was coach Romeo Crennel β s fault .
There they were on the Colts 27 - yard line with inches to go for a first down and Crennel decides to go for it .
He should have played it safe with a field goal .
They blew it on a quarterback sneak .
The score was tied 13 - 13 .
They handed the ball over to the Colts at the 27 - yard line and the Colts took it back down the field for a fourth quarter touchdown and won the game .
This was a game that saw a great performance by their running backs Jamaal Charles and former Razorback Peyton Hillis .
Charles turned in a 86 - yard touchdown run and rushed for a total of 226 yards and Hillis rushed for more than a hundred yards .
Put it all together and the Chiefs gained 507 yards and still managed β through penalties , interceptions and fumbles β to lose the game .
Astounding !
This gave the Colts a 9 - 5 season and eligibility for the playoffs .
I guess it β s possible to put together a team that so consistently shoots itself in the foot , but the Chiefs are an incredible collection of screwups with a few brilliant players who come out every week and make it look like it might be a football team .
But are usually thwarted by the goofups ; some must come off that field shaking their heads and fondering in frustration .
This is the Chiefs β last home game of the season , and it would have been nice if they could have won it .
Oh well , next week they journey to Denver to take on the Broncos in their mile high city with their rarified air .
Denver is not going to be a pushover .
The Broncos are 12 - 3 for the season after defeating the Cleveland Browns 34 - 12 Sunday .
Denver is up for the number one seed and the Chiefs down in the basement with a 2 - 13 season .

<m> passed </m> in Hansbrough broke Ford 's all-time scoring record at North Carolina during the game .
A captive audience that included an emotional Tyler Hansbrough watched intently as the Smith Center video boards mixed in congratulatory remarks with the collection of memorable plays .
The accompanying music : O.A.R. hit `` Shattered . ''
Hansbrough , North Carolina 's new career scoring leader , approached midcourt when the song ended. UNC legend Phil Ford bowed before him .
Hansbrough <m> passed </m> Ford for the top spot in school history while posting 20 points in the top-ranked Tar Heels ' 91-73 victory against Evansville on Thursday night .
Hansbrough entered the game with 2,282 points , eight fewer than Ford 's total from 1974-78 .
He broke the record when he posted up on the right block , spun toward the middle of the lane and banked in an off-balanced shot over James Haarsma with 7:42 remaining in the first half .
Hansbrough missed a dunk 23 seconds later with UNC leading 24-20 , and the Tar Heels ( 10-0 ) took control with a 19-4 run .
`` I 'm usually not nervous before games , and I was a little nervous before tonight just because I felt like there was a lot of pressure , '' Hansbrough said .
`` One thing for me , I did n't want to strictly focus on trying to break a scoring record .
We had a game , and I was trying to do whatever I could to help the team .
`` Whenever it did happen , I was thrilled and excited it was over .
Also , I felt very honored . ''
Officials stopped the game when Hansbrough , who now has 2,302 points , made the record-setting basket. Ford , an assistant coach with the Charlotte Bobcats , was posing for a courtside picture with two UNC students when the ball went through the net .
Ford , coach Roy Williams and director of athletics Dick Baddour presented Hansbrough with the gameball during the brief stoppage in play .
`` It 's an honor to be compared in the same breath with Tyler , '' Ford said .
`` When I look at how hard he plays and how he listens to Coach Williams , as a player , that 's what I tried to do .
As a player I would n't outrun a lot of people or outjump a lot of people - I was extremely quick , I will say that .
`` The only thing I had going for me is I played for a great coach who brought out the best abilities in the things I could do .
I think that 's what Tyler does . ''
The postgame ceremony featured comments from Williams , strength and conditioning coach Jonas Sahratian , Brendan Haywood , Marvin Williams , Raymond Felton , Antawn Jamison , Marcus Ginyard and Bobby Frasor .
It also included clips of Hansbrough 's dunk over 7-foot-7 Kenny George , his buzzer-beating shot against Virginia Tech in the 2008 ACC Tournament and his game-clinching 3-pointer at Duke as a freshman .
Ford made a favorable impression early in his UNC career at an unlikely sight : the Fetzer Field track .
Roy Williams recalled the effort Ford put forth to complete the team 's mile run in a predetermined amount of time .
`` The coaches are counting out the time as Phil Ford comes in there , and he dove across the line at Fetzer on the asphalt track , '' Williams said .
`` Tyler Hansbrough would have done that .
`` That , to me , is one of the most special things .
Phil Ford is one of the greatest competitors I 've ever seen , and Tyler Hansbrough is also .
There 's not a lot of people in that classroom . ''
Hansbrough , like Ford , declined an opportunity to leave school for the NBA following his junior season .
The fun of college is one reason Hansbrough , who 's on pace to take over the ACC career scoring mark currently held by Duke alum J.J. Redick , returned to UNC .
The Tar Heels are favored to win the national championship , but the pursuit of a title is n't always serious business even if Hansbrough 's interaction with teammates such as Larry Drew suggests otherwise .
`` There was a lot of hype around this game , but before the game the whole team is around playing Xbox and 'Mortal Kombat , ' '' Frasor said .
`` He 's getting into it , calling Larry a cheater .
Stuff like that you would n't get at a professional level . ''

Jenkin was brought to the magistrates' court building by a secure van on Monday , but did not appear in the dock and no pleas were entered .
Miss Rachel Bates , court clerk , said : "He is at risk of causing harm to himself and causing harm to others as well .

Seven of Jenkin's friends attended court as a show of support .
Jenkin had been living in South Wales with his mum for the past three years and they had moved back to Millom around six weeks ago .

Microsoft releases security patch for Internet Explorer
Reuters Sep 18 , 2013 , 02 . 16PM IST
Microsoft released an emergency software fix for Internet Explorer on Tuesday after hackers exploited a <m> security </m> flaw in the popular Web browser to attack an unknown number of users .
The software maker said on its website it released the software , known as a "Fix It , " as an emergency measure to protect customers after learning about "extremely limited , targeted attacks" that made use of the newly discovered bug .
Microsoft said the attacks took advantage of an undiscovered flaw , or "zero day" vulnerability in industry parlance .
State - sponsored hacking groups are often willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for zero - day vulnerabilities in widely used software such as Internet Explorer , according to security experts who track that market .
They typically use them on small numbers of carefully selected , high - value targets , to keep such flaws secret .
Once Microsoft issues a warning about a zero - day bug , other groups of hackers involved in massive cyber - crime operations , such as identity theft , rush to reverse - engineer the Fix Its so they can build computer viruses that also exploit the same vulnerabilities .
Security experts said Internet Explorer users should either immediately install the Fix It or stop using the browser until Microsoft can put out an update , which will be automatically installed through its Windows Update program .
"With the Fix It out , I'm sure any attacker who is a bit sophisticated can figure out what the flaw is and implement a similar exploit in their own attack toolkit , " said Wolfgang Kandek , chief technology officer with the cybersecurity firm Qualys Inc .
"Fix Its" are pieces of software for remediating security flaws that must be downloaded and installed on PCs .
They are designed to protect customers while Microsoft prepares official updates , automatically delivered via the Internet to be installed on computers .
Kandek said he expects Microsoft to push out an update to address the issue within two to three weeks .
The Fix It can be installed by clicking on a link this page on Microsoft's support site

<m> fix </m> in Microsoft releases security update for Internet Explorer
Microsoft has released an emergency security update to <m> fix </m> the vulnerability in Internet Explorer that has seen the computers of at least two million users hacked .
The `` zero day '' flaw allows hackers to gain access to the computers of visitors to infected websites , jeopardising the security of passwords , bank details and other personal information .
It is believed that as many as 233,000 web pages have been affected .
Microsoft says its `` critical '' update will protect users .
Christopher Budd , of the software giant 's security centre , said the company `` encourages all Internet Explorer customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible '' .
Mike Reavey , also from the security centre , said : `` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over .
There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Microsoft has said that the flaw has been proven to exist only in version 7 of Internet Explorer , but that version 6 and the `` beta '' release of version 8 are also `` potentially vulnerable '' .
It has estimated that one in every 500 Windows users has been exposed to websites that attempt to exploit the flaw , and that the number of victims was increasing by 50 per cent every day .
Paul Ferguson , a researcher from the software security company Trend Micro , told the BBC that attacks were spreading `` like wildfire '' .
`` This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber-criminals and getting worse every day , '' Mr Ferguson said . | No |

<m> according to </m> in Severed Cables in Mediterranean Disrupt Communication
Internet and telephone communications between the Middle East and Europe were disrupted after three submarine cables between Italy and Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea were damaged .
The failures cut the flow of `` data of various kinds '' between Europe and the Middle East , and there 's no timeframe for when communications will be restored , said Sanjeev Gaur , director of assurance at Reliance Globalcom Ltd. in India .
France Telecom SA , which plans to send a maintenance boat to fix the problem , said the situation should be back to normal by Dec. 31 .
Three cable systems carrying more than 75 percent of traffic between the Middle East , Europe and America have been damaged , <m> according to </m> the U.K. 's Interoute Plc , which operates a fiber- optic data network connecting 92 cities .
The cables run from Alexandria in northern Egypt to Sicily in southern Italy .
In January , an anchor severed the cables outside Alexandria after bad weather conditions forced ships to moor off the coast .
`` The information we have is a bit sketchy , but chances are that it will have been an anchor again , `` Jonathan Wright , Interoute 's director of wholesale products , said in a telephone interview .
`` Close to 90 percent of all the data traffic between Europe and the Middle East is carried on these three cable systems . ''
Interoute said the January incident brought down 70 percent of the Internet network in India and the Middle East .
Customer services and some mobile-phone customers at Vodafone Group Plc 's Egyptian unit are affected by the cable failure , said Simon Gordon , a spokesman for the U.K. company .
Egypt is the only country where the company is aware of any problems linked to the failure , he said .
Most mobile-phone calls are routed through fixed-line cables at some point .
Verizon Communications Inc. , the second-largest U.S. phone company , said it has rerouted traffic for its Verizon Business customers making calls to the Middle East by siphoning it to Europe and the U.S. and then down through Asia , spokeswoman Linda Laughlin said in an interview .
The rerouting slowed some traffic to about half its normal speed , Laughlin said .
Point-to-point customers still do n't have connections , and Verizon does n't have information on how many subscribers are affected .
The company expects repairs to be completed by early next week , she said .
Portugal Telecom SGPS SA , Portugal 's biggest phone company , has redirected traffic through other cables in the region and therefore the `` impact is very small , '' said a company official .
Sonaecom SGPS SA , Portugal 's second-biggest fixed-line phone company , also said that it 's diverting traffic to other routes .
France Telecom 's Orange mobile-phone unit said the cable failure `` greatly disturbed '' the traffic between Europe and parts of Asia .
At one point as much as 55 percent of voice traffic in Saudi Arabia , 52 percent in Egypt and 82 percent in India was out of service , according to Orange .
Internet traffic `` from Mumbai to London has now been rerouted via Hong Kong which may lead to congestion and increased latency on this route , ''
Reliance said in an e-mailed `` traffic disruption update , '' adding that it is working with the affected customers to restore all services .
The company said it will publish another update on its Web site tomorrow .
`` You can reroute the data through other cables , but that increases traffic and can potentially create bottlenecks , '' Interoute 's Wright said .
`` So Internet connections may slow down and some phone calls could get disrupted . ''
Some of Interoute 's clients in the U.K. and Southern France are probably affected by the failure , Wright said .
`` It 's difficult to forecast how long it will take to fix the problem as it depends on the weather and sea conditions in the Mediterranean , '' Wright said .
A fault is affecting the SMW4 cable near the Alexandria cable station , the FLAG FEA cable is down and the SMW3 cable system is also affected , according to information received from Telstra .
Flag Telecom Group Ltd. , a Reliance Globalcom unit , operates FLAG FEA and the other cables are owned by groups of phone companies across the regions .
Reliance Globalcom does n't know exactly what happened and engineers are working on the problem , said Anurag Joshi , head of the company 's global network operations center .
The SMW4 cable , also known as SEA-ME-WE 4or South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 cable network , connects 12 countries : Pakistan , Indonesia , Singapore , Malaysia , Bangladesh , India , Sri Lanka , United Arab Emirates , Saudi Arabia , Egypt , Italy and France .
France Telecom said one of its maintenance boats in the Mediterranean area is headed to the region for a relief mission with 20 kilometers of spare cable on board .
Priority will be to recover the SEA-ME-WE 4 cable , then the SEA-ME-WE 3 cable , France Telecom said , adding that Sea Me We4 could be operating by Dec. 25 and the situation should be back to normal by Dec. 31 .

<m> said </m> in Internet and telephone traffic between Europe and the Middle East and Asia was hampered Friday after three major underwater data lines were cut , according to France Telecom .
The cut occurred on lines between 07:28 and 08:06 Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC ) on lines in the Mediterranean sea that connect Sicily to Tunisia and Egypt , the telecommunications company said .
The cuts were to the Sea Me We 4 and Sea Me We 3 lines , which connect countries between Singapore and France as well as the Flag cable route , which stretches from the U.K. to Japan , a France Telecom spokeswoman who asked not to be named said .
France Telecom is n't sure what caused the cut , she <m> said </m> .
France Telecom is n't sure what caused the cut , she said .
`` We have two assumptions .
The first is that it could be an underwater earthquake , '' she said .
`` Or it could be simply a ship in the area which has cut the cable . ''
`` Or it could be simply a ship in the area which has cut the cable . ''
A maintenance boat is en route to the site of the cut , but it will not get there until Monday , and it will take as many as two weeks for the situation to return to normal , she said .
Many countries were affected by the outage , including India , Saudi Arabia , Egypt and Malaysia , which all lost a significant percentage on their voice traffic to Europe .
For example , 82 percent of India 's voice traffic capability to Europe was out of service early Friday , although that situation has now improved , the spokeswoman said .
Internet traffic also has been hit by the incident , according to Danny McPherson , chief security officer with Arbor Networks .
His company 's sensors reported that between 3,000 and 5,000 Internet routes in the region were off-line early Friday morning .
These routes are the Internet 's equivalent of dialing prefixes , meaning that computers that used them would be completely unreachable until service was restored .
`` It 's significant that it was lost , '' he said
`` For them it was in the middle of a business day on Friday . ''
A large number of these came back on-line around 17:00 UTC , McPherson said .
Most likely this happened after ISPs ( Internet service providers ) that had been knocked off-line had found alternate routes for their traffic .
It 's hard to estimate how many Internet users were affected by the cut , but the Internet has a total of close to 300,000 such routes , he said .
This is not the first time this year that these cables have been cut .
Earlier this year both the Sea Me We 4 and Flag cables were cut .
Flag 's cable was reportedly cut by ships anchored off the coast of Alexandria , Egypt . | No |

Ten dead in southern Iran <m> quake </m>
A powerful earthquake has hit southern Iran , killing at least 10 people , injuring dozens more and damaging several villages , officials say .
The 6 . 1 - magnitude quake struck Qeshm island , home to 120 , 000 people , and the city of Bandar Abbas , state media said .
On Qeshm island , between half and two - thirds of homes in five villages had been damaged , officials said .
The quake , which struck at 1353 ( 1023 GMT ) , was felt in the neighbouring Gulf states of Oman and the UAE .
Iran sits in a volatile earthquake region and is regularly struck by damaging quakes .
A 6 . 7 - strength quake killed more than 26 , 000 people in the ancient city of Bam in December 2003 .
'We panicked'
The US Geological Survey put the epicentre of Sunday's quake at about 58km ( 36 miles ) south - west of Bandar Abbas .
Heydar Alishbandi , Governor of Qeshm island , said five villages had been badly hit , but the worst - affected areas appeared to be in the less - populated west .
Helicopters ferried the injured to hospital but the authorities say the rescue effort is now winding down .
Mr Alishbandi told the AFP news agency he was not expecting the death toll to rise .
The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran says in one incident a number of children suffered broken legs as they rushed to evacuate their school .
The initial tremor lasted just over 10 seconds , she says , and there have been at least four aftershocks of around 4 . 0 .
Qeshm is a popular tourist destination in the mouth of the Persian gulf .
It has a free trade zone and a commercial and fishing port as well as a sanctuary for the conservation of turtles
The main town on Qeshm still has power , water and electricity connections and officials say they are sending relief goods such as tents to those who have lost their homes
"We were panicked .
I saw an injured person with blood on their clothes being taken to a local hospital , " one woman in Qeshm told AFP .
There were reports of people fleeing buildings in the larger city of Bandar Abbas , a major port , but no indications of serious damage .
The surrounding area has not been hit by a quake in more than 25 years .
A 6 . 4 - magnitude quake hit the town of Zarand in Iran's Kerman province in February , killing hundreds of people .

Powerful <m> Quake </m> in Iran Kills 10 ; 80 Hurt and 7 Villages Damaged
Published : November 28 , 2005
A powerful earthquake hit southern Iran on Sunday , causing major destruction in seven villages and killing 10 people and injuring 80 .
The tremor shook Oman and the United Arab Emirates as well , forcing many office workers to evacuate their buildings .
The official IRNA news agency and the United States Geological Survey said it had a magnitude of 5 . 9 .

Colts clinch playoff berth with 20 - 13 win in K . C .
Posted on December 23 , 2012 , 4 : 42 PM EDT
The connection between quarterback Andrew Luck and wide receiver Reggie Wayne has been vital to the Colts β success this season .
It paid off one more time for the game - <m> winning </m> play in Week 16 .
Luck hit Wayne for a seven - yard touchdown with just over four minutes to play to break a 13 - 13 tie and put the Colts on the verge of a playoff berth .
The defense forced a three - and - out and rookie running back Vick Ballard ran for a first down to ice the game on the next Colts possession .
Give the Colts defense a lot of credit for this one .
Darius Butler β s interception return opened the scoring for them and they stuffed Chiefs quarterback Brady Quinn short on a fourth - and - inches play early in the fourth quarter .
The Colts took the ball and went 73 yards in 13 plays to set up Wayne β s game - winning score .
It had not been a great day for the Colts offense to that point , but they were able to come up with the drive they needed to punch their postseason ticket .
While you β re giving the defense credit , though , make sure that you β re careful to note all the chances the defense gave Kansas City as well .
Jamaal Charles had 226 yards on 22 carries , including an 86 - yard touchdown run , and Peyton Hillis ran for 101 yards .
Given the lack of threat posed by Quinn , it β s pretty damning that the Colts couldn β t keep Kansas City from running the ball .
That will likely be something for Chuck Pagano to worry about .
The head coach is expected to return to work on Monday after months away from the team battling leukemia .
Fixing the run defense before the playoffs will be hard , but it β s a good problem to have after drafting first overall last April .

<m> win </m> in Manning guides Indianapolis to eighth straight win
Peyton Manning helped inspire the Indianapolis Colts to their eighth straight <m> win </m> of the season as they overcame Jacksonville 31-24 on Thursday to reach the play-offs .
Manning finished with 29-of-34 after completing his first 17 passes and threw for 364 yards , including three touchdowns .
And Manning was full of praise of the side after they fought back from 14-0 and 24-14 down to clinch a place in the play-offs as the fifth seeds in the AFC .
`` It was a funny game , we were completing some passes but we were down 14-0 , '' Manning said .
`` The crowd were into it and Jacksonville is always tough here at home .
`` It 's been a very different season .
For us to win eight in a row , it was what we had to do , we had no choice but to do that and have a chance to get into the play-offs .
`` You never take winning for granted .
It 's hard to win one game and it 's extremely hard to win eight in a row like we did . ''
The Colts had looked like they would suffer their first defeat in eight games as they entered the final quarter 10 points down .
However Manning 's one-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dallas Clark and Adam Vinatieri 's 45-yard field goal tied the scores .
And with just under five minutes remaining , Keiwan Ratliff intercepted quarterback David Garrard 's pass and raced in from 35 yards out for the match-clinching touchdown .
Garrard , who rushed for a score , finished with 28-of-41 for 329 yards with one touchdown and one interception for Jacksonville .
And Colts coach Tony Dungy added : `` It 's been a long fight back from ( starting the year ) 3-4 .
`` I like where we are right now .
Peyton Manning was unbelievable , and our defense made some plays in the fourth quarter when they had to . '' | No |

It 's the second straight year that Bush failed to make it to the last week of the season .
It 's also the second straight year that Bush took steps backward after a strong rookie season .
Bush , who missed several games after arthroscopic knee surgery earlier this season , wraps up the year with 404 yards rushing and 440 yards receiving .
He scored six touchdowns on offense and added three more on punt returns .
There 's nothing wrong with nine touchdowns in 10 games , but Bush 's inability to stay on the field has made him something less than the Saints expected with the second overall pick in the 2006 Draft .
Leon Washington of the Jets , a fourth-rounder that year , has turned in similar production as Bush this season ( in more games ) but costs his team much less money .
Making matters worse is the fact that the relationship between Bush and coach Sean Payton seems to be deteriorating .
Bush expressed unhappiness about being yanked from last week 's loss to the Bears , two weeks after Payton made a similar move against the Bucs .
Whatever his shortcomings , Bush could still play an important role in the supercharged Saints offense .

The footage shows 34 - year - old Horton ( pictured ) picking up her daughter from school on October 21 , 2011 , in Brooklyn's Brownsville section .
Around 2 : 18 p . m . , Horton and two other Moms are seen waiting at an intersection as a yellow bus pulls up to the curb .
The shooting then breaks out , with Horton pushing a child out of the way to take a bullet .
She then grips her chest and collapses to the ground .
Prosecutors showed the tragic footage at the trial of the two youths charged with <m> murdering </m> Horton .
Twenty - year - old Andrew Lopez has been accused of carelessly firing at rival gang members from a rooftop .
Half - brother Jonathan Carrasquillo is suspected of having directed Lopez to kill their enemies .

One of the two Mothers with Horton that day testified at the trial .

Last moments of Brooklyn mother of 12 killed in crossfire caught on tape
Zurana Horton , 34 , was <m> killed </m> on Oct . 21 , 2011 while walking near an intersection in Brownsville after 2 p . m .
Andrew Lopez , 20 , is the accused gunman who sprayed gunfire from a rooftop .
THURSDAY , APRIL 11 , 2013 , 9 : 53 PM
A shocking video released for the first time Thursday captures the moment a Brooklyn mother of 12 was killed in a gang shootout as she picked her daughter up from school .
The dramatic footage was shown at the trial of two local toughs charged with killing Zurana Horton , 34 , on Oct . 21 , 2011 .
At 2 : 18 p . m . , Horton and two other moms are seen approaching a Brownsville intersection as a yellow school bus rolls up .
A commotion breaks out as the three mothers and two children press up against a storefront for safety .
Horton pushes a child out of the way , grips her chest , then collapses to the ground next to a pool of her own blood .
"I saw her fall back . . .
I saw blood coming from her , " testified Unique Armstead , the mother in the video wearing a white jacket , seen enveloping herself around her son as they dive to the ground just feet from where Horton was killed .
Armstead was shot in the left arm .
Andrew Lopez , 20 , is accused of firing indiscriminately at rival gang members from a nearby rooftop .
His half - brother , Jonathan Carrasquillo , 24 , who allegedly instructed Lopez to take care of their enemies , is also on trial for murder .
Armstead , 32 , testified that after she overheard someone say "he has a gun , " she took refuge inside a corner bodega with her son , who was celebrating his 11th birthday that day .
They stepped out less than a minute later when it looked like the threat was over , she said , but then shots started to ring out .
"I thought it was a brick but it was a bullet , " Armstead testified .
"I told my son , 'I think I'm shot . ' "
An 11 - year - old girl , Cheanne McKnight , was grazed in the cheek .
Lopez is accused of spraying 13 shots on a Friday afternoon , just as schools were being let out .
Horton's senseless death shook the city and highlighted the scourge of gun violence that plagues its hardscrabble neighborhoods .
The two juries hearing the case - one for each defendant - showed little emotion as the disturbing tape was played in court .
Horton's mother , Denise Peace , said she is now caring for five of her daughter's orphaned kids while their father is looking after seven others .
Of the alleged gunman , she said , "He's a menace to society . "
The trial will resume Monday with testimony from a man who purportedly told prosecutors he has been threatened with death by Lopez's brother .
After the witness , who covered his face with a hoodie , was heard in an empty courtroom , the judge ruled he can testify in open court .
But Justice Vincent DelGiudice made clear the witness is reluctant to take the stand .
"The man is petrified , " he said .
"The man is an emotional wreck . " | Yes |

Lindsay Lohan rehires longtime lawyer Shawn Holley , heads to rehab
Published May 03 , 2013
It seems Lindsay Lohan has had enough of New York attorney Mark Jay Heller .
The actress re - hired longtime attorney Shawn Holley to handle her case .
Heller told a judge during a hearing Thursday morning that Lohan had checked in to the Morningside Recovery rehab facility , but the starlet left it after a few minutes .
The actress , however , has since checked in to a different rehab but will not face a probation violation for <m> leaving </m> another treatment facility after a few minutes , a prosecutor said Friday .
Lohan made it to the new facility late Thursday , TMZ reported .
White said he has received confirmation that Lohan has checked in to a rehab facility and he is satisfied with her location .
He declined to say where Lohan is receiving treatment , but reports soon surfaced that she was at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage , Calif .
"Lindsay never checked into Morningside but is back at Betty Ford .
The challenge now is to keep her there for the 90 days , " the source told us .
Lohan has spent time at Betty Ford before .
She served another mandatory rehab sentence at the treatment center , although her stay there was not without drama . | No |

Video of Brooklyn woman's <m> fatal shooting </m> is played at trial of two men charged in rooftop gunplay
April 12 , 2013 | 4 : 00am
Rapt jurors yesterday watched surveillance video of the chilling moment that a Brooklyn mom was fatally struck by stray gunfire and slowly fell over into a pool of her own blood .
The disturbing evidence was made public at the trial of the two men accused of killing Zurana Horton from a Brownsville rooftop in 2011 .
Horton , 34 , was walking with one of her 12 children when Andrew Lopez , 20 , fired from the rooftop on the orders of his brother Jonathan Carrasquillo , 24 , prosecutors charge .
Also shot were a woman named Unique Armstead , who was walking near Horton , and an 11 - year - old girl who was passing by .
Yesterday , Armstead told jurors at the Brooklyn Supreme Court trial about the moment she was struck in the shooting , which was allegedly sparked by a gangland territorial beef .
"At the time , I thought it was a brick , but it was a bullet , " testified Armstead , who was walking with her son and who can be seen in the video stumbling against a building after she is shot .
When prosecutor Seth Goldman asked whether she shielded her son with her body , Armstead quietly answered , "Yes . "
"When me and my son were on the floor , I noticed Mrs . Horton fall down .
I honestly thought she was shot in the head .
There was blood . "
Armstead also testified that she heard a group of young men arguing about a gun shortly before the shooting , which matches up with prosecutors' claim that Carrasquillo ordered Lopez to the roof with the gun after a dispute between their 8 Block gang and the rival Young Guns crew .
The talk of guns had made Armstead nervous , especially since she was with her young son .
"I speed - walked to my son , and I held him .
I was scared .
I was trying to get out of harm's way , " she testified .
Armstead said she sought safety for herself and her son in a store , but when activity on the street seemed to have settled , she walked back outside - where a bullet went straight through her arm and she saw Horton killed .
Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Vincent Del Giudice briefly sealed the courtroom at the request of prosecutors because their next witness had been threatened with death by the alleged shooter's brother .
The fearful witness had entered the courtroom with hood over his head , Del Giudice said when the courtroom was reopened .
"The man is an emotional wreck , " the judge said before postponing the man's testimony until Monday .

<m> told </m> in Tara Reid has entered a rehab program , the American Pie star 's rep confirmed to People and Us Weekly on Friday .
The news comes as a shock for everyone who just assumed the seldom-seen actress had been holed up there for a while - at least when she was n't touring U.S. frat houses and/or tequila conventions .
`` Tara Reid has checked herself into Promises Treatment Center , '' Reid 's rep <m> told </m> Us .
`` We appreciate your respect to her and her family 's privacy at this time . ''
No specific reason or addiction was given for her treatment .
When Reid was n't getting attention for her sometimes fun/sometimes scary breasts , the actress was getting attention for her often-shambolic love of partying .
Reid 's messy lifestyle led to her short lived E ! -series , Taradise , that followed her to exotic locales where she would party .
Somehow , Reid managed to mess up the dream-job/easiest job ever by being too wasted and out of control to film it .
`` It was a mess , '' she said of the show .
`` I did n't know it was going to ruin my career .
People forget I 've done , like , 20 movies .
I 'm not just a party girl. ``
While Reid has been out of the cinematic spotlight , she recently launched a clothing line , Mantra , and is dating French fashion designer Julien Jarmoune .
In an interview in October , Reid told People she was a `` social drinker '' who 's no longer tempted to fall back into her old habits:
`` No .
I 've done it .
Trust me .
I 've done enough for a lifetime of everything .
I 've had a great time .

<m> emergency </m> in Microsoft Issues Emergency Patch to Curb Password-Stealing Hackers
Microsoft today issued an <m> emergency </m> update to plug a critical security hole present in all versions of its Internet Explorer Web browser , a flaw that hackers have been leveraging to steal data from millions of Windows users .
The patch , which Microsoft dubbed MS08-078 , fixes a security vulnerability that Microsoft says already has been used to attack more than 2 million Windows users .
As Security Fix and other members of the tech community have chronicled , attackers have been busy compromising thousands of Web sites by seeding them with code that installs password-stealing software on computer systems of Web site visitors who use Internet Explorer .
Microsoft estimated Monday that one in every 500 Windows users had been exposed to sites that try to exploit the flaw .
Additionally , it said the number of victims was increasing at a rate of 50 percent daily .
Vulnerability management company nCircle said Microsoft 's decision to issue the patch outside of its normal Patch Tuesday ( second Tuesday of each month ) cycle is wise , given the current exploitation of the flaw and because instructions for exploiting the flaw are now available online .
`` Given the ongoing attacks for this bug and because the technical details have been available to the public for over a week , this is clearly a high risk client side vulnerability that everyone should patch now , '' said Andrew Storms , director of security for nCircle .
This is an urgent update .
If you use Windows , apply this patch now .
Windows users can download the fix at Windows Update , or by enabling Automatic Updates .

<m> emergency </m> in Microsoft issues <m> emergency </m> IE patch as attacks escalate
Microsoft has issued a rare emergency update for its Internet Explorer browser as miscreants stepped up attacks targeting a vulnerability on hundreds of thousands of webpages .
In many cases , the websites distributing the toxic payload are legitimate destinations that have been commandeered , allowing an attacker to snare victims as they surf to online banks , forums , and other trusted sites .
There are at least six distinct versions of attack code circulating in the wild , according to researchers at iDefense , a security lab owned by VeriSign .
A web search showed 233,000 pages containing the string ardoshanghai.com/s.js , just one of many web addresses exploiting a weakness in the way IE 's data-binding function works .
Most of the attacks silently install keylogging software as soon as a victim surfs to a site carrying the exploit .
Once installed , the software steals login credentials for online games .
Attack strings in separate SQL injections include 17gamo.com/1.js .
Researchers say the number of attack sites is too high to keep exhaustive lists , but Shadowserver is doing an admirable job here .
`` The vulnerability is so juicy that we expect it to show up in tool kits fairly shortly , '' said Rick Howard , intelligence director of iDefense .
The patch was released eight days after reports began circulating that websites were targeting a vulnerability in fully patched versions of IE .
This is only the second time in 18 months that Microsoft has issued an unscheduled update .
Typically , patches are available on the second Tuesday of each month to allow system administrators time for planning .
Given the prevalence of attacks , there 's no good reason why anyone running a Windows machine should n't stop what they 're doing and install the patch immediately ( those with administrative rights , anyway ) - doing so is as easy as opening IE and selecting Windows Update from the Tools menu .
The patch can also be downloaded directly here .
Howard mentioned the site of `` a major financial institution '' that he found hosting the exploit , so do n't think you 're immune just because you steer clear of porn and warez . | No |

In an October interview with People , Reid claimed she was a 'social drinker ' and that her crazy past was far behind her .

Accused Philadelphia Kraft Foods Killer Held For Trial
December 7 , 2010 11 : 18 PM
The woman who allegedly shot and killed two co - workers in September at the Kraft Foods plant in Northeast Philadelphia will face trial on multiple counts of murder and attempted <m> murder </m> .
At a hearing on Tuesday , assistant district attorney Gail Fairman described 43 - year - old Yvonne Hiller as a β methodical killer β who waved a gun within a foot of a security guard β s face to regain access to the plant less than ten minutes after she had been escorted out .
β She returned like a grim reaper , β says ADA Fairman , β and she only shot the ones that she held responsible for her suspension . β
Fairman says that when Hiller found a group of co - workers in a break room , she allowed one person to leave unharmed .
β At one point , there was a co - worker holding onto Latoya Brown , β says Fairman , β and the defendant ordered that worker away , and then she shot Brown . β
Hiller had repeated run - ins with co - workers , whom she accused of spraying her with a deer scent , among other things ( see related story ) .
Two women were pronounced dead at the scene , and a male co - worker was wounded .
A detective testified during the preliminary hearing about Hiller β s statement to police , claiming people had been spraying her for years .

Kraft <m> Shooting </m> : Yvonne Hiller Charged With Two Counts Of Murder
09 / 10 / 10 08 : 23 PM ET
A Kraft Foods plant worker who had been suspended for feuding with colleagues , then escorted from the building , returned minutes later with a handgun , found her foes in a break room and executed two of them with a single bullet each and critically wounded a third , police said Friday .
Yvonne Hiller , 43 , had gotten into an argument Thursday evening with her co - workers at the northeast Philadelphia plant , police said .
After she was disciplined , she went to her vehicle , made several phone calls , and then grabbed a . 357 Magnum and used it to force her way past security guards at the front gate .
About 100 people were at work at the plant , which makes Nabisco cookies and crackers .
Hiller walked to the third - floor mixing area and found four people in the break room .
She had no quarrels with one woman and told her to leave .
She then opened fire on the others , Philadelphia Homicide Capt . James Clark said .
"She believed they were spraying chemicals at her , saying things behind her back , " Clark said .
After leaving the break room , Hiller went down a hallway and fired shots at the supervisor who had suspended her and at a mechanic who was using a walkie - talkie to alert police and co - workers to her whereabouts , police said .
She missed both .
Hiller finally went to a second - floor office and called police to tell them what she had done , authorities said .
Seven other workers were hiding in a closet nearby .
Cpl . Janice Leader , a 911 dispatcher , told reporters Friday that Hiller called 911 , saying "I'm the one you're looking for" and reporting that she had been harassed at work .
Keeping her on the line , Leader said she told Hiller to put the gun down and place her hands on her head so officers wouldn't take any aggressive action against her .
When tactical police who had entered the plant found her , Hiller was in a fetal position on the floor , the gun beside her .
Police called the mechanic a hero who "did a phenomenal job" in alerting employees to evacuate the building and directing officers to where Hiller was .
"By following the suspect at great peril to himself β and we can see that by the fact that he was shot at and almost hit β he reduced our tactical problem quite dramatically , " Chief Inspector Joe Sullivan said .
Police identified the victims as Tanya Renee Wilson , 47 ; LaTonya Sharon Brown , 36 ; and Bryant A . Dalton , 39 , all of Philadelphia .
Wilson and Brown died at the plant .
Dalton , shot in the neck , remained in intensive care Friday at Jefferson University Hospital , police said .
The plant will remain closed indefinitely , Kraft said .
"We suspended the employee when she became agitated and used profanity .
We wanted the opportunity to investigate the situation , " Kraft said in a statement Friday .
Hiller was charged with two counts of murder , one count of attempted murder , aggravated assault and other charges .
She had a permit to carry the gun , authorities said .
Hiller has worked for Kraft for about 15 years , and had been in repeated arguments there in the past several years , a few of them physical , Clark said .
Yet a next - door neighbor described Hiller as a quiet woman who kept to herself but said she was polite and exchanged pleasantries when they saw each other .
Catherine Hillgen , who has lived on the tidy middle - class city block for about 45 years , said Hiller moved in several years ago with her son but recently has been living alone .
She initially dismissed a neighbor's report Thursday that Hiller might be involved in a fatal workplace shooting , but then heard her named on the news Friday .
"It was a complete shock , " Hillgen said .
"I would not expect it . "
Kraft , based in Northfield , Ill . , also makes Oreo cookies , Philadelphia cream cheese , Oscar Mayer bacon and other products .
Mass shootings are rarely carried out by women , said Dr . Park Dietz , president of Threat Assessment Group Inc . , a Newport Beach , Calif . - based violence prevention firm .
Earlier this year , Amy Bishop , a former instructor and researcher at the University of Alabama's Huntsville campus , was charged with murder in a campus shooting spree that left three biology professors dead and three other employees wounded .
She claimed the shootings "didn't happen . "
Thursday's shooting came just weeks after a driver who had been accused of stealing from a Manchester , Conn . , beer distributorship fatally shot eight people , then himself .
The driver , who was black , had seethed with a sense of racial injustice in his job , said his girlfriend .
But the beer distributor's president said there was no record to support claims of "racial insensitivity . " | No |

Deadly fire - bomb hits bank during Greek riots
First Posted 23 : 37 : 00 05 / 05 / 2010
A fire - bomb attack on a bank in Greece killed at least three people Wednesday as police fought pitched battles with <m> striking </m> protestors furious at brutal budget cuts designed to avert national bankruptcy .
Hooded youths hurled petrol bombs at stores and businesses in the center of the capital Athens and demonstrators tried to storm parliament during the general strike , as the rioting spread to the northern city of Thessaloniki .
Police said two women and one man died at a branch of the Marfin bank which caught fire after rioters broke a window and threw Molotov cocktails inside .
Around 20 more people had to be ushered to safety .
"Nobody has the right to violence and particularly violence that leads to murder , " Prime Minister George Papandreou told parliament as he condemned "a raw murderous act" .
At least two other buildings , one used by tax officials , caught fire in other fire - bomb attacks on the margins of the protests .
Athens underground stations were shuttered and the international airport deserted as tens of thousands of union members rallied on the eve of a vote in parliament on the planned cuts and tax hikes .
The general strike was the first major test of the Socialist government's resolve to push through unprecedented measures since agreeing a ? 110 - billion ( $143 - billion ) EU and IMF debt bailout at the weekend .
Papandreou's insistence that the measures are vital for the nation's survival failed to dissuade unions from paralyzing public services .
After rallying in two separate demonstrations in central Athens , unionists marched on parliament where a vote on the measures will be held Thursday .
"They're taking everything from me , I don't know how I'm going to get by , " said 61 - year - old Anargyros Bizianis , a municipal worker in the Athens suburb of Piraeus who earns ? 900 a month .
As the protestors tried to break through a police line in front of parliament , they first hurled stones and bottles of water , prompting officers to respond with tear gas .
Full - scale clashes then erupted , with riot police trying to disperse the crowds with baton - charges .
During the unrest , one protestor threw a petrol bomb .
Youths also went on the rampage in other parts of the capital , with several dozen youths hurling petrol bombs at stores , smashing shop windows and bus shelters with iron bars .
Athens police chiefs mobilized all their forces , including those not on active duty , by declaring a general state of alert .
The protestors in Thessaloniki targeted stores and banks in the city center before they were dispersed by the anti - riot police .
A group of about 200 communists had stormed the Athens Acropolis on Tuesday , unfurling banners reading "Peoples of Europe , Rise Up . "
"The Greek people have been called to make sacrifices while the rich pay nothing , " said Giannis Panagopoulos , head of the GSEE private sector union .
A government official downplayed the unrest saying that "for years there's been strikes and protests in this country without much consequence . "
But markets reacted with alarm as Greek stocks closed down 3 . 9 percent .
Pushed to the brink of default , the government agreed at the weekend to slash spending and jack up taxes in return for 110 billion euros in loans over three years from eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund .
Among the major measures , the government is to cut 13th and 14th month bonus pay for civil servants and retirees ; require three years more for pension contributions ; and raise the retirement age for women to 65 .
After months of hesitation , eurozone countries and the IMF agreed to lend Greece billions at below market rates after concerns the Athens crisis could trigger a knock - on effect elsewhere .
Fighting accusations of holding up the bailout , German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the crisis underlined the need for an overhaul of EU fiscal rules .
"The future of Europe and the future of Germany within Europe is at stake , " she told a debate on Berlin's decision to lend ? 22 . 4 billion to Greece .

A FIRE - BOMB attack on a bank in Athens left at least three people dead as police fought pitched battles with striking protesters furious at brutal spending cuts designed to avoid national bankruptcy .
Hooded youths hurled petrol bombs at stores and businesses in the Greek capital , setting the bank and two government buildings ablaze .
Protesters also tried to storm the Greek Parliament and the rioting spread to Greece's second city , Thessaloniki .
Police said at least three people , a man and two women , were killed in the fire - bomb attack .
Firefighters said as many as 20 people had been inside the bank .
It was unclear if the dead were customers or bank employees .
Two buildings , one used by tax officials and another by regional authorities , also caught fire .
Greek President Carolos Papoulias condemned the violence , saying the debt - hit country had "reached the edge of the abyss" .
"Our country has reached the edge of the abyss .
It is the responsibility of us all to not take the step into the void .
"What is at stake in coming days is to keep social cohesion and social peace . "

<m> fixed </m> in Internet Explorer issue 'fixed ' , say Microsoft
Microsoft has said that an emergency security update has <m> fixed </m> a flaw in Internet Explorer that left millions of computers vulnerable to hacking and hijack .
The software patch , which was released last night , has closed a loophole that has seen the computers of at least two million users hacked by cyber criminals .
The problem related to a `` zero day '' flaw that tricked people into visiting an infected website , enabling hackers to gain access to online banking passwords and e-shopping logon details .
`` Microsoft has released a security update for Internet Explorer that will help protect its customers from malicious attacks , '' said the company in a statement .
`` Like a vaccine developed to fight a virus , this 'security update ' will protect computers only if it is installed . ''
Computers that are set to automatically update and install software will already be protected by the patch .
Those users who manage their own updates are advised to download the fix as soon as possible from the Microsoft website .
`` When the patch is released , people should run , not walk , to get it installed , '' said Paul Ferguson , a researcher with Trend Micro .
`` This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber criminals and getting worse every day . ''
It is thought that the security flaw , which came to light earlier this week , was exposed by accident , after a Chinese security firm , Knowsec , released details of the loophole believing Microsoft had already issued a software fix to resolve it .
However , technology experts have warned that malware authors , who write the viruses and code that exploits security vulnerabilities , are already working on ways to get around the software update .
`` We are seeing customised versions of the IE 7 exploit with varying degrees of obfuscation , '' wrote McAfee security expert Rahul Mohandas on the company blog .
`` Malware authors have been coming up with innovative mechanisms to leverage this exploit to social engineer the not so tech-savvy internet users . ''

Microsoft to release patch for Internet Explorer
'The Fix' will <m> remedy </m> a vulnerability that allows an attacker to gain remote control of a Windows machine . .
Wed , Sep 19 2012 at 11 : 47 AM
Microsoft will push out an out - of - cycle Windows patch to temporarily fix the critical Internet Explorer flaw revealed earlier this week .
"While we have only seen a few attempts to exploit the issue , impacting an extremely limited number of people , we are taking this proactive step to help ensure Internet Explorer customers are protected and able to safely browse online , " Microsoft Trustworthy Computing director Yunsun Wee said in a blog posting on Sept . 18 .
"The Fix it is an easy - to - use , one - click , full - strength solution any Internet Explorer user can install , " Wee wrote .
"It will not affect your ability to browse the Web , and it will provide full protection against this issue until an update is available .
It won β t require a reboot of your computer .
"This Fix it will be available for everyone to download and install within the next few days , " she added .
Microsoft usually pushes out software updates and security patches on the second Tuesday of every month .
Out - of - cycle patches are reserved for the most serious flaws .
It's not clear what exactly Microsoft has in mind , if , as Wee indicates , the "fix it" is not a real update .
Microsoft initially suggested that all Internet Explorer users install and configure a utility called the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit ( EMET ) to prevent exploitation of the flaw , but admitted EMET might interfere with other applications .
Most security experts , and the German government , have recommended a simpler solution : Stop using Internet Explorer entirely until the flaw is fully fixed .
The Internet Explorer vulnerability allows an attacker to gain remote control of a Windows machine at the same level of privilege as the current user .
That's not so bad if a given machine's current user has limited privileges , but very serious if the current user has administrator rights and can install , modify or delete software .
The flaw affects all currently distributed and supported versions of Internet Explorer and Windows : Internet Explorer versions 6 , 7 , 8 , and 9 and Windows XP , Vista and 7 , as well as Windows Server 2003 , and 2008 .
Windows 8 , due to be released to the general public Oct . 26 , and its accompanying Web browser , Internet Explorer 10 , are not affected .
Nor is Windows Server 2012 . | No |

<m> record </m> in Hansbrough breaks UNC career scoring record
Phil Ford stood at midcourt , waiting for Tyler Hansbrough to take the microphone and address the home crowd .
As the reigning national player of the year walked up , Ford playfully bowed in reverence before giving him a hug .
Now even the famed point guard who flawlessly ran Dean Smith 's `` Four Corners '' offense is looking up at Hansbrough as the storied program 's all-time leading scorer .
Hansbrough scored 20 points Thursday night to break Ford 's 30-year-old mark and help top-ranked North Carolina beat Evansville 91-73 , a game that was completely overshadowed by the 6-foot-9 senior 's record pursuit .
He needed just nine points coming in , making the record an almost certainty considering that he 's failed to reach double figures just six times in his career .
But that did n't mean Hansbrough was oblivious to all the attention about a record that had stood through the careers of names like Michael Jordan , James Worthy and Antawn Jamison .
`` I 'm usually not nervous before games , and I was a little nervous before tonight just because I felt like there was a lot of pressure , '' said Hansbrough , who sat between Ford and coach Roy Williams during the postgame news conference .
`` One thing for me , I did n't want us to strictly focus on trying to break a scoring record .
We had a game and I was trying to do whatever I could to help the team . ''
Hansbrough finished 7-for-14 from the field and had nine rebounds for North Carolina ( 10-0 ) , which shook off a slow start and stretched the lead to double figures against the Purple Aces ( 7-2 ) shortly after Hansbrough passed Ford midway through the first half .
Ford , now an assistant coach to fellow Tar Heel alumnus Larry Brown with the NBA 's Charlotte Bobcats , finished his career in 1978 with 2,290 points .
`` I think everyone who knows me knows how much I love this program and to be a small part of this historic moment for Tyler is a dream come true for me , '' Ford said .
`` I would n't have missed it for the world .
`` It 's an honor to be compared in the same breath with Tyler .
When I look at how hard he plays and how he listens to Coach Williams , as a player , that 's what I tried to do . ''
Hansbrough tied Ford on a jumper from the left wing with 14:05 left in the first half , then set the <m> record </m> by muscling in a bank shot over James Haarsma and Pieter van Tongeren with 7:41 to go .
As soon as the record-setting shot went through the net , officials briefly stopped the game to allow Ford , Williams and athletics director Dick Baddour to present Hansbrough with the game ball .
Students who carried small signs saying `` Phil Ford 2,290 '' on one side turned it around to reveal `` Tyler 2,291 + '' on the other .
Hansbrough waved to acknowledge the roaring crowd and handled the historic moment with his typically reserved demeanor , though he seemed eager to get back to the game and away from the focus being on him .
After the game , the school showed a video montage of Hansbrough 's career highlights that included congratulations from several former players .
That 's when Hansbrough took the microphone from Ford and emotionally addressed the crowd .
`` I never dreamed I 'd be here and be the all-time leading scorer , '' Hansbrough said as he stood alone at midcourt .
`` This is a great honor to be here and to represent you guys every night in this uniform . ''
It was a moment that fellow senior and roommate Bobby Frasor said showed how much Hansbrough appreciated the record even though he did n't want to dwell on it in recent days .
`` I 've never seen him tear up or choke up like that , '' Frasor said .
`` But Tyler really does care about all this stuff and he knows what he accomplished is pretty special . ''
Still , the Tar Heels seemed a little tight and the home crowd anxious to see Hansbrough set the record early .
But in the minutes afterward , the Tar Heels settled down and outscored Evansville 22-10 the rest of the half to take a 46-28 lead .
It lightened the mood enough that Williams - who said he was counting down a player 's points in his head for probably the first time - was able to tease Hansbrough on the bench after he missed a two-handed dunk on his first shot following the record .
`` I said , 'Boy , I 'm really glad that 's not the basket that would 've broken the record , ' '' he said with a laugh .
The Tar Heels maintained a comfortable margin the rest of the way , cracking the 90-point mark for the seventh straight game .
Hansbrough left the game for good with the Tar Heels leading 83-58 with 5:33 to play .
He still has a chance this season to pass Sam Perkins for the program 's career rebounding record and break the Atlantic Coast Conference career scoring mark set by Duke 's J.J. Redick in 2006 .
`` Whatever Tyler gets , he deserves , '' Evansville coach Marty Simmons said .
`` I 've been a big fan of his since he was in high school .
It 's good to see guys that work the hardest be rewarded the most . ''
Ty Lawson added 16 points for the Tar Heels , while Danny Green had 14 , including the 1,000th of his career .
Shy Ely scored 23 points to lead Evansville , which was off to its best start since going 10-1 in 1981-82 .
The Purple Aces were playing the No. 1 team for the first time since 1980 and just the third time ever . | Yes |

<m> decision </m> in Tara Reid Finally Checks Into Rehab For Undisclosed Reasons
It 's been a long time coming , but Tara Reid has finally entered Malibu Promises Treatment Center on Tuesday , her rep told People.com .
The 33-year-old hard partying actress finally decided to put an end to her drinking days and get help for her addictions , although her publicist refused to disclose the real reason why Reid checked into rehab .
In a statement released to People , the `` American Pie '' star 's rep Jack Ketsoyan confirmed that she was at the same clinic where Britney Spears , Ben Affleck , Charlie Sheen , and Lindsay Lohan were previously treated , and pleaded for her and her family 's privacy at this time .
`` Her friends and family are supportive of her decision , `` a friend of the actress said .
`` She checked in herself - it was her <m> decision </m> . ''
Following her breakthrough in 1999 's `` American Pie , '' the actress has been better known for her partying habits and personal life rather than her movies , which were n't that many in the first place .
Three years ago , Reid , who has launched a new fashion line called Mantra in September , opened up about her party girl image saying it was n't accurate and her entourage was a bad influence as well .
`` My picture is taken only when I have a cup in my hand , '' she told Us Weekly .
`` Trust me , my body is tired .
I partied hard .
But I think it was that the people I partied with were not the best people . ''
Earlier this year , the star said she had turned a corner from being a hard-hitting drinker and was now a `` social drinker . ''
When asked about the temptation to fall back into old habits she said she had enough fun and a great time to last her a lifetime .
`` I 'm so happy with where I 'm at right now .
I do n't need to do anything anymore , '' she added .
Besides `` American Pie '' and her E ! reality show `` Taradise , ''
Reid has had a recurring role on `` Scrubs '' and starred in `` Van Wilder '' and `` The Big Lebowski . ''
</s>
<m> checked into </m> in Tara Reid has seemingly spent the last decade out and about , but her latest destination hits much closer to home .
The American Pie actress and velvet-rope fixture has <m> checked into </m> Promises Treatment Center in Malibu , according to her publicist , Jack Ketsoyan .
`` We appreciate your respect to her and her family 's privacy at this time , '' he said .
Ketsoyan did not say what Reid is being treated for and no other details were forthcoming .
The move comes as a surprise to Reunion Pictures ' Matthew O'Connor , who coproduced Reid last year on the made-for-TV horror flick Vipers .
`` Tara was 100 percent professional , '' he told E ! News .
`` She came in totally prepared every day . ''
`` Absolutely not , '' O'Connor said when asked whether he had noticed any warning signs that Reid might have a problem .
`` She was better than fine - great . ''
The 33-year-old Reid , whose personal life and plastic-surgery travails have earned her far more headlines than her career over the last few years , described herself to People a few months ago as `` a social drinker . ''
When asked whether she was still a party girl , the Taradise star said , `` I 've done enough of everything for a lifetime !
I partied .
I had fun .
I ate and drank and dated a million guys , but I 'm so happy with where I am right now .
I do n't need to do any of that anymore . ''
Reid recently started her own clothing line , Mantra , but her last notable acting gig was a guest arc on Scrubs back in 2005 . | No |

<m> died </m> in Mark Felt , who was known as Watergate scandal informant 'Deep Throat , ' <m> died </m> on Friday .
He was 95 .
Felt worked as the associate director of the FBI in the 1970s and is one of the most famous anonymous sources for the press in American history .
His daughter Joan Felt said her father ate a big breakfast before saying he was tired , and went to sleep , she told the Washington Post .
He died at 12:45 p.m. on Thursday at his home in Santa Rosa , California , the Post stated .
`` He slipped away , '' she said .
Felt blew the whistle on a corrupt administration trying to cover up attempts to sabotage opponents .
He secretly guided Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward and his colleague Carl Bernstein who pursued the story of the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee 's headquarters at the Watergate office buildings .
That ultimately led to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon .
Felt insisted on remaining completely anonymous until May 30 , 2005 when Felt 's family revealed his identity in an article for Vanity Fair magazine .

Watergate figure Fred LaRue dies
Published July 28 , 2004
Fred LaRue , a Watergate figure and high - ranking Nixon administration official who once was rumored to be Deep Throat , has died of natural causes .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove said .
The coroner said he believes Mr . LaRue <m> died </m> Saturday ( July 24 , 2004 ) .
Mr . LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate breakin quiet , and served 41 / 2 months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
Mr . LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Richard Nixon's re - election committee .
Mr . LaRue was at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder in Key Biscayne , where the plan to break into the Watergate complex allegedly was hatched .
After his political career ended in scandal , Mr . LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's business .
Mr . LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein was not one person , but probably a combination of people . | No |

Gary Ross back in talks to direct 'The Hunger Games' <m> sequel </m> 'Catching Fire'
April 9 , 2012
Despite reports last week that said Gary Ross would definitely not be returning to direct The Hunger Games sequel , Catching Fire , it seems he will be back at the negotiating table with Lionsgate this week .
The Hollywood Reporter says Ross is set to meet with Lionsgate officials on Monday to resume negotiations .
According to THR , two major sticking points are salary ( Ross apparently wants a raise ) and schedule , with The Hunger Games set to begin filming in August .
That's in part to accomodate Jennifer Lawrence's January start date for filming the X - Men : First Class sequel , a project that legally and contractually holds priority for the actress over Catching Fire .
Lionsgate is also under pressure to meet a previously announced November 2013 release date for Catching Fire .
The majority of fans were outspoken last week in their disappointment that Ross would not return for Catching Fire .
Some launched the "Gary Ross Is Boss" campaign to show support , a petition has been circulating Twitter , and it will be the top discussion subject on Monday night's episode of the HG Fireside Chat podcast .
What do you think about Ross returning ( or possibly not ) for Catching Fire ?

<m> damaged </m> in Severed Cables in Mediterranean Disrupt Communication
Internet and telephone communications between the Middle East and Europe were disrupted after three submarine cables between Italy and Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea were damaged .
The failures cut the flow of `` data of various kinds '' between Europe and the Middle East , and there 's no timeframe for when communications will be restored , said Sanjeev Gaur , director of assurance at Reliance Globalcom Ltd. in India .
France Telecom SA , which plans to send a maintenance boat to fix the problem , said the situation should be back to normal by Dec. 31 .
Three cable systems carrying more than 75 percent of traffic between the Middle East , Europe and America have been <m> damaged </m> , according to the U.K. 's Interoute Plc , which operates a fiber- optic data network connecting 92 cities .
The cables run from Alexandria in northern Egypt to Sicily in southern Italy .
In January , an anchor severed the cables outside Alexandria after bad weather conditions forced ships to moor off the coast .
`` The information we have is a bit sketchy , but chances are that it will have been an anchor again , `` Jonathan Wright , Interoute 's director of wholesale products , said in a telephone interview .
`` Close to 90 percent of all the data traffic between Europe and the Middle East is carried on these three cable systems . ''
Interoute said the January incident brought down 70 percent of the Internet network in India and the Middle East .
Customer services and some mobile-phone customers at Vodafone Group Plc 's Egyptian unit are affected by the cable failure , said Simon Gordon , a spokesman for the U.K. company .
Egypt is the only country where the company is aware of any problems linked to the failure , he said .
Most mobile-phone calls are routed through fixed-line cables at some point .
Verizon Communications Inc. , the second-largest U.S. phone company , said it has rerouted traffic for its Verizon Business customers making calls to the Middle East by siphoning it to Europe and the U.S. and then down through Asia , spokeswoman Linda Laughlin said in an interview .
The rerouting slowed some traffic to about half its normal speed , Laughlin said .
Point-to-point customers still do n't have connections , and Verizon does n't have information on how many subscribers are affected .
The company expects repairs to be completed by early next week , she said .
Portugal Telecom SGPS SA , Portugal 's biggest phone company , has redirected traffic through other cables in the region and therefore the `` impact is very small , '' said a company official .
Sonaecom SGPS SA , Portugal 's second-biggest fixed-line phone company , also said that it 's diverting traffic to other routes .
France Telecom 's Orange mobile-phone unit said the cable failure `` greatly disturbed '' the traffic between Europe and parts of Asia .
At one point as much as 55 percent of voice traffic in Saudi Arabia , 52 percent in Egypt and 82 percent in India was out of service , according to Orange .
Internet traffic `` from Mumbai to London has now been rerouted via Hong Kong which may lead to congestion and increased latency on this route , ''
Reliance said in an e-mailed `` traffic disruption update , '' adding that it is working with the affected customers to restore all services .
The company said it will publish another update on its Web site tomorrow .
`` You can reroute the data through other cables , but that increases traffic and can potentially create bottlenecks , '' Interoute 's Wright said .
`` So Internet connections may slow down and some phone calls could get disrupted . ''
Some of Interoute 's clients in the U.K. and Southern France are probably affected by the failure , Wright said .
`` It 's difficult to forecast how long it will take to fix the problem as it depends on the weather and sea conditions in the Mediterranean , '' Wright said .
A fault is affecting the SMW4 cable near the Alexandria cable station , the FLAG FEA cable is down and the SMW3 cable system is also affected , according to information received from Telstra .
Flag Telecom Group Ltd. , a Reliance Globalcom unit , operates FLAG FEA and the other cables are owned by groups of phone companies across the regions .
Reliance Globalcom does n't know exactly what happened and engineers are working on the problem , said Anurag Joshi , head of the company 's global network operations center .
The SMW4 cable , also known as SEA-ME-WE 4or South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 cable network , connects 12 countries : Pakistan , Indonesia , Singapore , Malaysia , Bangladesh , India , Sri Lanka , United Arab Emirates , Saudi Arabia , Egypt , Italy and France .
France Telecom said one of its maintenance boats in the Mediterranean area is headed to the region for a relief mission with 20 kilometers of spare cable on board .
Priority will be to recover the SEA-ME-WE 4 cable , then the SEA-ME-WE 3 cable , France Telecom said , adding that Sea Me We4 could be operating by Dec. 25 and the situation should be back to normal by Dec. 31 .

<m> damage </m> in Damaged cables cause internet outages for millions
Up to 70 % of communications to the Middle East have been disrupted after cables connecting region to Europe were damaged
Millions of web users across the Middle East are struggling to get online after damage to undersea cables connecting Europe , Africa and Asia took down a major route for internet traffic .
As much as 70 % of internet traffic and telephone communications between the continents has been affected by the outage .
It is believed to have been caused by damage to a string of cables which run on the bed of the Mediterranean Sea between Italy and Egypt , connecting Europe with other parts of the world .
The lines , which run hit the Egyptian coast at Alexandria and go on to connect to Asia , are responsible for carrying vast amounts of internet traffic and phone calls between different parts of the world .
It remains unclear what precisely what caused the <m> damage </m> , but the Egyptian communications ministry said that ships have already been dispatched to look at the problem - although repairs will take `` several days '' .
Jonathan Wright , a director at telecoms company Interoute , said that the outage could have a devastating affect on business and communication around the world .
`` The potential impact of an outage of this size can not be underestimated - it is like severing a major artery , '' he said .
`` Global internet connectivity is reliant on sub-sea cables connecting countries . ''
The incident comes less than a year after a similar outage brought a halt to communications between Europe , Africa and Asia .
Those problems were believed to have been caused by ships ' anchors ripping through another section of the same cables , but were exacerbated by simultaneous damage in lines through the Middle East .
As many as 75 million people were affected in countries as far apart as India , Egypt and Dubai .
It is not yet clear whether today 's outage is the same order of magnitude .
Despite the prevalence of wireless internet and satellite connections , global communications are still largely reliant on the vast webs of fibre optic cables which cover the planet .
The lines , which take years of planning to install , move traffic backwards and forwards across continents .
The cables hit by the latest incident are among the most vital information pipelines linking Europe to the rest of the world - and are responsible for the majority of all connectivity in the Middle East and south Asia .
According to Alan Mauldin , research director of communications analysis company TeleGeography , the succession of problems in the region are only likely to be remedied by a series of new cables which are currently being planned .
`` Many new cable systems are slated to enter service between Europe and Egypt in the next few years , '' he said . | Yes |

<m> security </m> in Microsoft releases patch for critical IE security flaw
Microsoft released a critical security patch on Wednesday to plug vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer , a move that comes amid malicious attackers taking advantage of the <m> security </m> flaws .
The patch is designed to prevent attackers from downloading malware onto users ' computers if they visit a malicious Web site , or a legitimate Web site that has been infected .
This zero-day exploit has been in circulation since the first week of December and potentially could have infected a wide swath of users .
The vulnerabilities are found in not only IE 7 , Microsoft 's latest browser , but also Internet Explorer 5.01 , Internet Explorer 6 , and Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 .

<m> exploited </m> in Microsoft Releases Critical Internet Explorer Patch
The out-of-band security update fixes a JavaScript-related vulnerability that 's being actively exploited through hacked Web sites .
Microsoft ( NSDQ : MSFT ) has released an out-of-band security update , MS08-078 , to fix a vulnerability in its Internet Explorer Web browser that 's being actively <m> exploited </m> .
`` At this time , we are aware only of attacks that attempt to use this vulnerability against Windows Internet Explorer 7 , '' said Christopher Budd , Microsoft security response communications lead , in an e-mailed statement .
`` Our investigation of these attacks so far has verified that they are not successful against customers who have applied the security update .
MS08-078 has a maximum severity rating of Critical for all versions of Internet Explorer . ''
On the heels of the Yahoo deal that fell apart V 2 , comeback CEO Jerry Yang was skewered by the able hands of Web 2.0 Summit host John Battelle .
Paul Martino , CEO of Aggregate Knowledge , talks about the company 's `` online discovery '' tool , which essentially looks across hundreds of millions of Web sites and recommends content , products , and services to users in real time .
Mashmaker allows developers to add a bit of JavaScript to any page and have that page automatically populated with appropriate widgets , making the page more useful for site visitors .
Nonetheless , Microsoft lists Internet Explorer 5.01 , 6 , and 7 as affected software in its Security Bulletin .
It also says separately , in the FAQ section , that Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 is affected .
The vulnerability can be exploited through JavaScript code posted on malicious Web sites .
Internet Explorer users may be redirected to these sites through hacked legitimate sites .
If the malicious code is successful , it silently downloads malware onto the victim 's computer .
Microsoft typically releases software patches , referred to as Security Bulletins , on the second Tuesday of every month .
When critical vulnerabilities emerge and are actively exploited , Microsoft often issues a patch as soon as it 's ready .
The last such out-of-band patch , Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067 , was released on Oct. 23 .
It addressed a vulnerability in Windows Server service that affected all currently supported versions of Windows .
That vulnerability allowed an attacker to take over affected computers remotely .
When Microsoft issued its out-of-band patch in October , it cited the vulnerability 's potential `` wormability '' -- meaning the hole could be exploited on a massive scale using self-copying malware -- as a reason for its action .
But MS08-078 is n't wormable .
`` That shows that the wormability of a vulnerability is no longer a good indicator of the seriousness of a threat and that these Web-based threats are now much more dangerous than network worms , '' said Roel Schouwenberg , senior antivirus researcher for Kaspersky Lab , Americas , in an e-mailed statement .
Indeed , Microsoft security researchers estimated that as many as 1 in 500 users of Internet Explorer could have been exposed to malware attempting to exploit the flaw .
`` The browser flaw had been disclosed roughly one week ago as a zero-day vulnerability , and active exploits have been around the Internet for that timeframe as well , '' Qualys CTO Wolfgang Kandek said in an e-mailed statement .
`` The workarounds provided by Microsoft were very technical and quite cumbersome to implement , making it imperative for Microsoft to release a fix as quickly as possible . ''
Kandek suggests that Microsoft is at a disadvantage in updating Internet Explorer because its browser does n't have a built-in update mechanism like other browser makers .
Mozilla , for instance , just released Firefox 3.05 to Firefox users through its auto-update system .
Microsoft is urging users of IE to test and deploy this update as soon as possible . | No |

<m> died </m> in Bettie Page , the 1950s pin-up queen and pop culture icon who <m> died </m> on Thursday , will be remembered for her indomitable influence on style , fashion , and sexual expression .
But as Bettie 's biographer -- and the only one with whom she ever cooperated -- I can tell you that the underground bondage queen also had the unlikely effect of thematically shaping a series of biographical and highly feminist novels about powerful women in history .
In 1991 , intrigued by the resurgence of Bettie 's image in venues as diverse as rockabilly clubs , nostalgia rags , and S and M fashion gone mainstream , I wrote a cover story for the L.A. Weekly , `` In Search of Bettie Page . ''
For nine months , I had tracked down anyone who had ever known her or photographed her .
But Bettie herself , the object of much speculation , remained elusive .
Most people thought she was dead .
Then , as fate would have it , someone gave Bettie , who was living in anonymity and seclusion , a copy of the article .
Imagine the shock -- a seventy-something senior citizen who ran away from it all forty years prior , suddenly finds that she is famous again .
But she liked it .
Though she did not want to re-enter the public arena , Bettie sent me a letter praising the piece , calling us `` kindred spirits . ''
Soon , with co-author James Swanson , I embarked on the adventure of writing her biography , sitting down with her for hundreds of hours while she told us her story .
At the time , I was also trying to work out how to tell the stories of women in history who had been either dropped from the record or misinterpreted through the sexist lens of their biographers .
I was to start with Kleopatra ( the original Greek spelling ) , a victim of Roman propaganda remembered for the men with whom she slept rather than for her diplomacy , leadership , and the fact that she had mastered nine languages .
How to present the stories of women who had been victimized without writing a victim story , I kept asking myself ?
How to give women in history who had been reduced to their sexuality the full breadth of their experience without diminishing or demeaning their sexuality ?
So here was Bettie Page , a woman known only for her sexuality , who had been sexually abused by her father , sexually violated by a gang of strangers , and emotionally battered by a husband .
In the years since she had gone underground , Bettie had become a born-again Christian working for the Billy Graham Crusade .
Surely she would repudiate the work she 'd done as a pin-up and bondage model .
Surely she saw herself as a victim of the patriarchy that hijacked her beauty and sensuality and exploited it for its own gratification .
Surely I was about to meet a woman who considered herself a victim .
I was wrong .
Despite her more unfortunate experiences , Bettie never presented herself as a casualty of sexual abuse , and she never used that , or her religious beliefs , which were strong , to renounce the work she 'd done as a model .
Moreover , she never denounced sexual expression .
`` God created us naked , '' she said by way of explaining her total lack of inhibition in the buff .
She purported that bondage modeling `` was such fun , '' even at times `` hilarious , '' except for when the elaborate gear became uncomfortable .
And sex itself , she assured me on many occasions , was for her , always pleasurable and joyful .
Though she had at times suffered at their hands , she never expressed bitterness toward men .
I know women who are resoundingly more hostile than Bettie Page just for having suffered a few bad dates .
No , Bettie was not going to allow anyone or anything to diminish the joy she experienced when she put that corset on ( or took it off ) and felt her full-blown sexual power .
Since the publication of Bettie Page : Life of a Pin-Up Legend , I have published four historical novels with strong female characters .
Each , in her own way , was a victim , either of the era in which she lived and its laws , or of individual abusers , or of the general abuses and oppressive nature of the culture at large .
Despite the enormous consciousness-raising of the last few decades , we still see attempts to diminish today 's female powerbrokers women like Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin by sexualizing them .
Yes , in our porn-saturated society , people are still trying to shame women for -- what ?
Having sexual attributes ?
At least we can point to one woman , Bettie Page , who would n't have it .
Bettie 's obits paint a bleak picture of her later years .
But I found that , despite her trials , she had retained a zest for life and always took pleasure in memories of the work that she 'd done .
I hope that Bettie is remembered for her sexual joy , and for the gleeful spirit she brought to sexual imagery , whether she was frolicking on the beach or being ball-gagged and spanked , rather than for being a victim .
A female friend of mine said this morning , `` Bettie Page did more for sexual expression than Alfred Kinsey. '' Amen , sister .
For all the countless ( and valuable ) mountains of scholarly and feminist writing that have influenced my thinking and my portrayal of women , I still look to a lady who said it all by looking into the camera and defying anyone to tell her she was bad or wrong .
Amen to you , too , Bettie .
Rest in peace .

<m> died </m> in Legendary pinup queen Bettie Page <m> died </m> of pneumonia at the age of 85 in a Los Angeles , California , hospital Thursday , a week after suffering a heart attack , according to her agent .
Pinup queen Bettie Page was credited with helping to usher in the sexual revolution .
`` She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality , '' said agent Mark Roesler in a written statement .
`` She is the embodiment of beauty . ''
Page , said to be one of the most photographed people of the past century , became a recluse in recent decades .
Yet , her images continued to be used around the world to market Bettie Page action figures , clothing lines and other merchandise .
`` Her popularity as an underground , guilty pleasures phenomenon has continued to soar despite the fact that the reclusive Page disappeared almost a half century ago , leading many to believe that one of the most photographed individuals of the 20th century was already dead . ''
Roesler said .
The Web site , BettiePage.com , logs about 20 million hits a month , Roesler said .
A TVGuide.com poll recently placed Bettie Page as the `` ultimate sex goddess , '' outscoring others such as Marilyn Monroe .
Page was born to a poor family in Tennessee on April 22 , 1923 .
While her birth certificate spelled her name `` Betty , '' she changed the spelling later in life to `` Bettie . ''
At a time when few women pursued a college education , Page earned a bachelor of arts degree in education from Peabody College in Tennessee in 1944 , according to her official biography .
Her teaching career , however , was hampered by her looks , she said .
`` I could n't control my students , especially the boys , '' she is quoted as saying .
After her modeling career ended , Page returned to Peabody College to work on a master 's degree , the bio said .
Her Southern drawl and a refusal to sleep with a Hollywood producer hampered her acting career , according to her bio .
`` I did n't like his looks , '' Page said .
`` I would n't have gone to bed with him anyway .
He was a creep .
He drove off in his big car and scolded me,
'You 'll be sorry . '
I was n't . ''
Page said she regretted not accepting studio boss Jack Warner 's offer of another screen-test , but it came while she was trying to save her marriage to her first husband , Billy Neal .
Her modeling breakthrough began after she divorced Neal in 1947 when she met a police officer whose hobby was photography .
He suggested the black bangs , which became her trademark , her bio said .
Not long after , her images were everywhere , gracing magazine covers and locker pin-ups .
Page wore nothing but a Santa hat in Playboy 's January 1955 centerfold .
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said her appearance in his magazine 's first year was a milestone .
`` She became , in time , an American icon , her winning smile and effervescent personality apparent in every pose , '' Hefner said .
`` A kinky connection was added by Irving Klaw 's spanking , fetish and bondage photos , which became part of the Bettie Page mystique , '' Hefner said .
`` They were playful parodies that are now perceived as the early inspiration for Madonna 's excursions into the realm of sexual perversion . ''
Perhaps the most memorable photos of Page were her bondage poses , which she said were all pretend .
`` I never understood how anyone believed those poses were sexy , '' she later said .
`` To be tied up ?
I do n't get it . ''
`` She was a remarkable woman , truly someone that changed the social norms , not only here in this country , but also around the world , '' Roesler said .
`` While Jackie Robinson was changing the racial attitudes , Bettie Page was changing our attitudes on sex .
She became a James Dean type of 'rebel ' figure as she allowed people to be less inhibited and look at sex in a different way . ''
Saucy photos of Paige in skimpy clothing or none at all helped to lead the way for the sexual revolution of the nineteen sixties .
Page suddenly disappeared from the scene in 1958 .
It was only decades later revealed that she re-emerged to explain that she underwent a religious conversion and moved to Florida .
Her life took a dark turn starting in 1978 after her third marriage failed , Roesler said .
Page went through `` some mental instability , violent mood swings , and serious trouble with the law '' and was eventually diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic , according to her bio .
Page reappeared in public in December 2003 for Playboy 's 50th anniversary party , where she made a grand entrance with Anna Nicole Smith .
It was the only time in the past 50 years that Page allowed her photograph to be taken , Roesler said .
A private funeral service is planned for Tuesday .
Page will buried at Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles , just a few feet away from Monroe . | Yes |

Teen Arrested in Shooting of Hero Brooklyn Mom
Posted Oct 26 , 2011 8 : 57 AM CDT
An 18 - year - old gang member has confessed to <m> killing </m> a pregnant mom , who died on Friday as she shielded a group of children from bullets , but insisted he "did not mean to shoot the ladies , " sources tell the New York Daily News .
In addition to Zurana Horton - who was a mother of 12 - another mom and an 11 - year - old girl were wounded by rooftop sniper Andrew Lopez , who told police his dozen rounds were intended for members of a rival gang .
Lopez has been charged with murder ; his two half - brothers , 17 and 22 , were also arrested .

<m> get off </m> in Last May , a stray bullet killed 10-year-old Kathina Thomas as she played on the front steps of her home on Albany 's First Street
Her death sparked outrage , and even prompted the community to come together to <m> get guns off </m> Albany streets .
Now the case is back in the spotlight as the 16-year-old accused of firing the fatal shot , Jermayne Timmons , goes to trial .
More than 100 potential jurors walked into the Albany County Courthouse Monday .
Inside , men and women from all walks of life were slowly eliminated , answering questions such as `` had you heard , seen or read anything about the death of Thomas ? ''
Such a query would be difficult thing to say `` no '' to , given all the media attention that the 10-year-old 's death and Timmons ' subsequent arrest brought .
By 5:00pm Monday , selection was winding down for the day as five were already picked for the jury .
Timmons remained at the courthouse along with defense attorney Peter Lynch and Albany County District Attorney Dave Rossi .
`` The evidence in this case is gon na ' show factually that Jermayne is not the person who caused [ Thomas ' ] death , '' Lynch told local media Monday .
However , Lynch has a tough job ahead of him in proving that his client did not pull the trigger and , in the end , kill Thomas .
This , when police have released an alleged confession from Timmons , and a letter of apology that he is said to have written to the girl 's mother that reads , `` I am so sorry that the gun I shot is the gun that could have takeing ( sic . ) your baby girl away from you , ''
King provided an explanation , saying , `` The so-called apology note was posed more in the question of if [ Timmons ] , in some way , could have been responsible , he would have been apologetic for it , ''
None of Thomas ' family members were present in the courthouse Monday , only Timmons ' friends and relatives .
Also absent were those who are expected to be called on as witnesses .
In an unprecedented move , Albany County Assistant District Attorney Dave Rossi asked the media to keep the identities of certain witnesses quiet .
`` If we start seeing names in the paper or on the news on day one , I think it 's gon na ' make it more difficult for us to have witnesses in the seat on day two , three and four , '' he said .
One of the witnesses that can be talked about is Jermayne Timmons ' own mother , who is expected to take the stand .
Jury selection will likely go on until sometime Tuesday .
It was more than seven months ago when that errant bullet killed Kathina Thomas .
The 10-year-old was shot on the night of May 29th while she was playing outside her First Street home .
Less than two weeks later , Jermayne Timmons was arrested and charged with the shooting .
It was discovered shortly after the arrest that Timmons had written an apology letter to the mother of Kathina Thomas , saying the bullet was not meant to hit the girl .
In response to the fallout over Thomas ' death , and further gun violence in Albany , District Attorney David Soares announced a gun buyback program in mid-June , offering up gift cards to anyone who brought in a gun . | No |

On Tue , 16 / 08 / 2011 - 13 : 42
An undersea telecommunications cable cut on Tuesday partially blocked internet and mobile services in Alexandria and some other governorates .
The cable cut happened around the same time that a different cable , owned by Telecom Egypt , was cut that also affected services , Egyptian authorities said .
Mahmoud al - Goweiny , a member of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority's board of directors , told Al - Masry Al - Youm that this particular undersea cable has frequently malfunctioned since late 2007 .
Ahmed Osama , deputy executive director of Telecom Egypt , said the cable passes through Egypt from Europe and reaches Asia .
Osama said the cut's effect in Egypt was limited , and there haven't been clear reports about a cause .
"Some internet users suffered problems with internet and mobile services , Osama noted .
Osama attributed these problems to the Telecom Egypt cable cut , which affected Etisalat Egypt and LINKdotNET , two of Egypt's largest internet services providers .

Lindsay Lohan's attorney <m> said </m> Thursday the actress checked into a Southern California rehab facility that a state official said is unlicensed to perform the type of treatment a judge required her to receive .

"She's in rehab right now .
Nothing bad is going to happen . "
TMZ reported Lohan was shopping at an electronics store while her attorney was in court , and that she never entered Morningside .

Obama overturns Bush midnight rules on science , health care
Mar 5 , 2009
Controversial rulings enacted in the 11th hour by the Bush administration are being examined for policy and legal implications by the Obama administration .
Several regulations affecting health care and the environment have been overturned .
In his final months in office , former president George W . Bush enacted several highly controversial policies that affect health care and wildlife .
In just a little over a month in office , President Barack Obama has sidelined or overturned several of them , and has also reached back over the years to reverse policies enacted during Bush β s first term .
A Bush administration draft plan to allow oil and gas drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was sidelined by the Obama administration on Feb . 10 .
"To establish an orderly process that allows us to make wise decisions based on sound information , we need to set aside" the plan , said new Interior Secretary Ken Salazar who extended the public comment period on offshore drilling by six months .
Obama has maintained that expanded offshore drilling should be part of a larger energy blueprint developed out in the open with Congress , not within the departments of Commerce and Interior Department alone .
On Feb . 27 , the Obama administration announced its intention to reverse the so - called β medical conscience β rule , following a 30 - day comment period .
The rule gave health care workers the right to refuse to participate in services they consider immoral .
The rule was vaguely worded and extended the right to refuse service to everyone from receptionists and janitors to hospital executives and insurance company CEOs .
Opponents considered the rule , which took effect the day before Obama β s inauguration , a thinly veiled maneuver to limit access to legal abortions , contraceptives , and living will directives .
On March 3 , Obama <m> overturned </m> another 11th hour Bush regulation that weakened the Endangered Species Act and pitted federal agencies against each other .
The regulation allowed federal agencies to sidestep scientific evidence gathered by U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service experts when launching construction projects that impact endangered wildlife .
When overturning the regulation , Obama said he was restoring "the scientific process to its rightful place at the heart of the Endangered Species Act , a process undermined by past administrations . "
The Obama administration will also move quickly to reverse some older Bush rulings .
On January 30 , Obama signed an executive order rescinding a 2001 Bush policy change that barred U . S . financial aid to international organizations that provide or promote abortions .
First implemented by President Reagan and called the β Mexico City β rule , the policy is reversed whenever there is a change in ideology in the White House .
Obama said the policy toward international family planning "has been used as a political wedge issue . "
He said his administration would β initiate a fresh conversation on family planning , working to find areas of common ground to best meet the needs of women and families at home and around the world . "
The Obama administration plans to head off many of Bush β s midnight hour rules still in the pipeline before they take effect .
On inauguration day , federal agency heads were sent a memo stating that they should freeze all Bush regulations in the pipeline .
Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag followed up with a Jan . 21 memo giving agency heads these options for dealing with Bush - era β rules which raise substantial questions of law or policy : β extending the effective date of a rule , reopening the notice and comment period , issuing interim final rules , and deciding not to defend court challenges to Bush administration rules .

Obama <m> Reverses </m> Bush on Species Protection Measure
March 04 , 2009
In a move that will subject a number of government projects to enhanced environmental and scientific scrutiny , President Obama is restoring a requirement that U . S . agencies consult with independent federal experts to determine whether their actions might harm threatened and endangered species .
The presidential memorandum issued yesterday , which marks yet another reversal of former president George W . Bush's environmental legacy , will revive a decades - old practice under the Endangered Species Act that calls for agencies to consult with either the Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on whether their projects could affect imperiled species .
On Dec . 16 , the Bush administration allowed agencies to waive such reviews if they decided , on their own , that the actions would not harm vulnerable plants and animals .
Obama , who visited the Interior Department to commemorate its 160th anniversary , said he had instructed Interior and Commerce Department officials to review the Bush rules .
In the meantime , according to the memorandum , officials should "follow the prior longstanding consultation and concurrence practices" that call for independent reviews .
"The work of scientists and experts in my administration , including here at the Interior Department , will be respected , " Obama said .
"With smart , sustainable policies , we can grow our economy today and preserve the environment . "
Environmentalists and scientists welcomed the move , but business officials said it could delay federally funded projects that could help revive the nation's economy : All of them agreed it would prompt a second look at several initiatives adopted by the Bush administration in its final months in office .
Earthjustice lawyer Janette Brimmer , whose group had challenged the Bush rule in federal district court in California , said she expected that the new administration would reexamine two pending projects : a Bureau of Land Management plan for overseeing Oregon's forests , which was finalized on Dec . 30 and could affect protected species such as the northern spotted owl ; and construction of the White Pine coal - fired power plant in Nevada .
"I think the Obama administration now is going to take a step back on these projects .
It needs to bring science back into the equation , " Brimmer said , adding that her group will not drop its lawsuit until it can assess how the new policy is working .
Francesca Grifo of the Union of Concerned Scientists , an activist group , said the switch would help guard against the potential conflicts of interest and lack of expertise that could color decision - making by any agency hoping to press ahead with a particular project .
"After years of scientific scandal , the Interior Department and its partner agencies need desperately to regain credibility by making decisions with honesty , clarity and transparency , " Grifo said .
But William L . Kovacs , the U . S . Chamber of Commerce's vice president of environment , technology and regulatory affairs , said that reviving another layer of review "will result in even greater delays to projects - - including stimulus - backed , job - creating projects - - as agencies now grapple with the prospect of lengthy interagency consultations to determine , for instance , if a bridge project in Florida contributes to the melting of Arctic ice .
This is such a departure from the spirit and the letter of the Endangered Species Act that we wonder if the law's drafters would even recognize it today . "
The latest policy shift follows several other administration actions revamping environmental policies , including a reexamination of fuel economy standards and offshore oil drilling ; a new review of whether to grant California and other states the right to regulate greenhouse - gas emissions from vehicles ; and the endorsement of a new international treaty negotiation on global mercury emissions .
House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick J . Rahall II ( D - W . Va . ) , who had been seeking to overturn Bush's endangered species rule through legislation , called the announcement "one more indication that the new administration truly represents change for the better and is committed to the protection of our natural resources and our environment . "
Officials said the move is unlikely to trigger broad use of the Endangered Species Act to regulate greenhouse - gas emissions .
While the Bush rule specifically prohibited endangered species consultations on the basis of "global processes" such as climate change , an Interior official speaking on the condition of anonymity said that under the new policy , such a review would be triggered only if scientific evidence suggested "a causal connection" between emissions from a federal project and its effect on an imperiled species or an identifiable part of its habitat . | Yes |

2 Dead , 1 Wounded in <m> Shooting </m> at NE Phila . Kraft Plant
September 10 , 2010 10 : 14 AM
Police say two people have been killed and another wounded in a shooting at the Kraft Foods plant in Northeast Philadelphia .
The alleged shooter is in police custody .
KYW β s Pat Loeb reports that the shooting took place just after 8 : 30pm Thursday night inside the old Nabisco factory , along the 12000 block of Roosevelt Boulevard , at Woodhaven Road .
Authorities say the incident began after the fifteen - year employee , 43 - year - old Yvonne Hiller , was suspended .
Police commissioner Charles Ramsey says she was escorted out of the building and was outside for nine minutes before coming back :
β She drove her car through a barrier and entered the premises .
She had a . 357 magnum .
Made her way to the third - floor mixing room , where she encountered at least three of the employees .
Two , she shot and killed there in the room .
A third was also shot . β
The third victim , identified as Brian Dalton , was rushed to Aria Health β s Torresdale campus with a gunshot wound .
He was later transferred to Jefferson and listed in stable condition .
Officers responded to 911 calls from other employees inside the building , arriving with SWAT teams and other personnel who were trained in an β active shooter β situation , according to Commissioner Ramsey .
He says most of the other 100 workers inside were able to get out safely .
Seven employees were trapped near the shooter , but cops say they were able to free them , disarm the woman , and take her into custody .
KYW β s Paul Kurtz reports that Commissioner Ramsey credits a special training program for preventing even more bloodshed last night .
The commissioner says he β s put many officers through what β s called β active shooter β training for first - responding officers :
β We β ve learned from Columbine and other places that you can β t wait , you can β t just sit there and wait for SWAT .
You β ve got to at least make entry and try to get as many people out as possible , isolate the shooter , and then hopefully SWAT arrives in enough time to take care of the situation .
They did an excellent job , the 7th and 8th Districts in particular .
Those officers did an outstanding job . β
And it turns out that at least seven of the officers who rushed to the Kraft factory had β active shooter β training .
Ramsey says he plans to expand the program .
Hiller is expected to be arraigned on two murder charges and one attempted murder charge later today .
Kraft Foods issued a statement early this morning announcing that the Northeast facility is closed until further notice .
The statement expresses condolences for the families of the dead and wounded employees , saying , β This is a tragic loss for all of us . β
It states that Kraft is working closely with the authorities as they investigate and will be providing counseling services for employees at the facility . | No |

Ten dead in southern Iran quake
A powerful earthquake has hit southern Iran , killing at least 10 people , injuring dozens more and damaging several villages , officials say .
The 6 . 1 - magnitude quake <m> struck </m> Qeshm island , home to 120 , 000 people , and the city of Bandar Abbas , state media said .
On Qeshm island , between half and two - thirds of homes in five villages had been damaged , officials said .
The quake , which struck at 1353 ( 1023 GMT ) , was felt in the neighbouring Gulf states of Oman and the UAE .
Iran sits in a volatile earthquake region and is regularly struck by damaging quakes .
A 6 . 7 - strength quake killed more than 26 , 000 people in the ancient city of Bam in December 2003 .
'We panicked'
The US Geological Survey put the epicentre of Sunday's quake at about 58km ( 36 miles ) south - west of Bandar Abbas .
Heydar Alishbandi , Governor of Qeshm island , said five villages had been badly hit , but the worst - affected areas appeared to be in the less - populated west .
Helicopters ferried the injured to hospital but the authorities say the rescue effort is now winding down .
Mr Alishbandi told the AFP news agency he was not expecting the death toll to rise .
The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran says in one incident a number of children suffered broken legs as they rushed to evacuate their school .
The initial tremor lasted just over 10 seconds , she says , and there have been at least four aftershocks of around 4 . 0 .
Qeshm is a popular tourist destination in the mouth of the Persian gulf .
It has a free trade zone and a commercial and fishing port as well as a sanctuary for the conservation of turtles
The main town on Qeshm still has power , water and electricity connections and officials say they are sending relief goods such as tents to those who have lost their homes
"We were panicked .
I saw an injured person with blood on their clothes being taken to a local hospital , " one woman in Qeshm told AFP .
There were reports of people fleeing buildings in the larger city of Bandar Abbas , a major port , but no indications of serious damage .
The surrounding area has not been hit by a quake in more than 25 years .
A 6 . 4 - magnitude quake hit the town of Zarand in Iran's Kerman province in February , killing hundreds of people .

Iran Villagers Shelter In Tents After Killer Quake
Nov 28 , 2005
Iranian rescue workers handed out blankets , food and water Monday to survivors of a powerful earthquake on a Gulf island that <m> killed </m> 10 people and forced villagers to spend the night in tents .
Power was restored to the afflicted villages on the Gulf island of Qeshm after a blackout caused by the quake , which struck on Sunday with a force of about 6 . 0 on the Richter scale .
"We have distributed the needed tents , blankets , fresh water and food to survivors , " the governor - general of Hormouzgan province , Abdolreza Sheikholeslami , told state television .
He said 30 of the 80 wounded remained in hospital after the tremor , which destroyed or damaged an estimated 1 , 500 mudbrick houses in about 15 villages on the island and was felt across the Gulf in the United Arab Emirates .
"Most of the buildings in the villages are not safe to live in any more .
However , by nightfall all those who need tents will be provided with one , " the head of the provincial natural disaster service , Massoud Dalman , told the television .
Qeshm island governor Heydar Alishbandi told AFP that a total of 10 people had been killed and that the death toll was not expected to rise further .
"Around 1 , 000 people are housed temporarily in tents and another 2 , 000 are waiting to be housed , " he said , adding that the weather was warm with temperatures of about 28 degrees Celsius ( 82 degrees Fahrenheit ) .
"We are not facing shortages and the relief operations are going smoothly . "
Some panicked residents of the island , which is situated off the coast from the large port city of Bandar Abbas and is home to about 100 , 000 people , slept outside after a second quake jolted the area several hours later .
The rocky and barren island was hit almost two years after the southeastern city of Bam - - situated 300 kilometers ( 190 miles ) to the north - - was destroyed in a quake that killed tens of thousands of people .
State news agency IRNA quoted the head of Qeshm's free - trade zone , Ali Rezapour , as saying the quake caused damage estimated at around 54 million dollars , with 50 schools and about 1 , 500 houses rendered unsafe .
Qeshm , located 1 , 150 kilometers ( 700 miles ) southeast of Tehran , has a busy commercial and fishing port and is also a popular weekend sunshine getaway for Iranian tourists .
Airport chief Ali Naghavi was quoted by IRNA as saying that operations had resumed after being halted on Sunday .
The island's main town , also called Qeshm , was undamaged .
The most affected villages were identified as Gabardin , Tonban , Karvan , Tourian and Khaldin - - all situated in the less densely populated west of the island .
Iran sits astride several major faults in the earth's crust , and is prone to frequent earthquakes .
In February , a quake measuring 6 . 4 on the Richter scale hit the southern town of Zarand , killing 612 people and wounding around 1 , 400 .
In December 2003 , the southeastern city of Bam was razed by a 6 . 7 degree quake that left more than 31 , 000 people dead .
Mehdi Zareh , the head of Iran's Seismic Research Center , said there was no tsunami risk from the latest quake .
"Because the Persian Gulf is not very deep , a tsunami is not expected , " he told the student news agency ISNA . | No |

Lawyer : Lindsay Lohan <m> checks into </m> rehab facility
Updated 4 : 08 p . m . ET
Lindsay Lohan's attorney said Thursday the actress checked into a Southern California rehab facility that a state official said is unlicensed to perform the type of treatment a judge required her to receive .
Mark Jay Heller told a judge that Lohan was settling in at Morningside Recovery , a treatment facility in Newport Beach .
"My client is ensconced in the bosom of that facility right now , " Heller argued after a prosecutor objected to Lohan's choice of rehab facilities .
"She's in rehab right now .
Nothing bad is going to happen . "
TMZ reported Lohan was shopping at an electronics store while her attorney was in court , and that she never entered Morningside .
White said he was "completely blindsided" by Lohan's placement at Morningside because Heller had previously agreed to send the actress to a different facility that had been vetted .

<m> admitted </m> in Well it 's better late than never , Tara .
The original trainwreck Tara Reid 's publicist confirmed that the actress Reid was <m> admitted </m> into Promises Treatment Center in Los Angeles , California .
`` We appreciate your respect to her and her family 's privacy at this time , '' the actress 's rep Jack Ketsoyan tells People magazine .
Reid checked herself in on Tuesday , December 9 , 2008 .
Her rep , however , declined to reveal Reid 's reason for this seemingly abrupt decision .
Reid 's , 33 , acting abilities had always been overshadowed by her 'party girl ' reputation , and certainly set the bar for young starlets like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton .
In an October interview with People , Reid claimed she was a 'social drinker ' and that her crazy past was far behind her .
'I 've done it .
Trust me .
I 've done enough for a lifetime ofeverything .
I 've had a great time .
I partied .
I had fun .
I ate and drank whatever .
I dated a million guys , but I 'm so happy with where I 'm at right now .
I do n't need to do anything anymore , ' she told the magazine .
Apparently , old habits die hard .

Report : Red Sox offer Teixeira $200 million
December 15th , 2008 , 7 : 35 am
Dan Patrick reported on his show on AM 570 that the Boston Red Sox have made first baseman Mark Teixeira an eight - year , $200 million <m> offer </m> .
If so , that blows the reported eight - year , $160 million offers by the Angels and the Washington Nationals out of the water .
Patrick said Monday morning : "If it's true they're offering $200 million to a career . 290 hitter , it'll be interesting to see what the Angels do . "
He then speculated the Angels might turn their interest to Manny Ramirez .
The Boston Herald's Michael Silverman wrote in his Monday column the Red Sox offer was expected to be in the range of $145 million to $175 million , possibly more .
He also noted that it is rare for Boston to extend contracts to players that go to their 36th birthdays , with the exceptions of Jason Varitek's just - expired deal and Mike Lowell's contract .
Teixeira will be 29 in April .

REPORT : RED SOX MAKE HUGE OFFER TO TEIXEIRA
on Tuesday , 16 December 2008 13 : 45 .
The Boston Red Sox have made the biggest offer in club history to Mark Teixeira .
The <m> deal </m> is said to be for 8 year and could be up to $180 million .
With the economy going down and ticket prices frozen you have to wonder how the Red Sox plan on making this kind of committment for the long term .
Does this mean they will not be able to get that big free agent next year or the year after that ?
The farm system has been good but it can not replace eveything and the Sox are going to need some front line starters in the next few years .

Pierre Thomas is headed to <m> injured reserve </m>
Posted on January 5 , 2011 , 3 : 37 PM EDT
Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory are out .
DeShawn Wynn and Joique Bell are in .
Suddenly , the No . 5 Saints don β t look as quite as big a threat to make a repeat trip to the Super Bowl .
One day after Chris Ivory was surprisingly lost for the season , the Saints placed Thomas on injured reserve .
The team β s best running back also sat out in Week 17 .
Coach Sean Payton said Thomas suffered a setback in practice last week .
We β ve been toying with the idea of picking the Saints to make it back to the Super Bowl .
They β ve turned the ball over too much , but their defense is a lot better than people think .
This news makes it harder .
It β s going to be a lot harder for the New Orleans offense to stay balanced with Reggie Bush and Julius Jones carrying the load .
Wynn and Bell were added to the roster in the last two days , but figure to be reserves .
</s>
<m> list </m> in In case you had any doubts whether or not Pierre Thomas ( left ) would get more carries than Reggie Bush , you can now have full faith in Thomas .
After spraining his knee last week at Chicago , Bush has been placed on the injured reserve <m> list </m> ending his season .
Hello , Mr. Thomas. Owners have been worried that Thomas ' carries would be affected by Bush 's return , but those worries are all for naught .
With Bush completely out of the picture , Thomas is the lone back and could capitalize in a big way in his two remaining games .
Remember , Thomas is still playing for a contract .
The Saints take on the 0-14 Lions , and it appears the Saints will march into Motown and hand them No. 15 .
The Lions have the league 's worst rushing defense , and teams do n't need to throw a lot because offenses are able to run wild .
Good news for Pierre owners .
Thomas is an elite RB going forward , and those of you lucky enough to nab him should reap the benefits. Make sure he 's in your lineups for championship weeks .
Since Week 11 , Thomas has eight touchdowns on 498 rushing yards and 176 receiving yards .
Not bad for a late waiver-wire guy , huh ?
As far as Bush is concerned , the Saints are erring on the side of caution regarding the injury .
With the playoffs out of the picture , there 's no need to worsen the injury .
He 'll be a top PPR running back in 2009 . | No |

Undersea internet cables severed near Egyptian coast line
Have you experienced any internet connection or mobile phone problems yesterday ! ?
It seems that another incident of an undersea telecommunications cable being severed on Tuesday has resulted in partially blocking internet and mobile <m> services </m> in Alexandria and some other governorates .
In a statement to Al - Masry Al - Youm news paper , Mahmoud Al - Goweiny , a member of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority's board of directors said that the cable cut happened around the same time that a different cable , owned by Telecom Egypt , was also cut , affecting services in Egypt .
He also iterated that this particular undersea cable has frequently malfunctioned since late 2007 .
This cable is most likely to be the SEA - ME - WE 4 that passes through Egypt coming from Europe and then reaches Asia .
Despite the after effects of this cable cut seems to be limited , however these incidents have been occurring more than once in a relatively short period of time .
Severing a main internet pipe - line could leave a country's communication and economy crippled for at least 72 to 120 hours causing a lot of problems !
It should be time to re - think protecting these valuable communication life lines !
Etisalat Egypt and LinkdotNet are one of Egypt's largest internet service providers , and among the most affected by the cable cut .
No further details were reported by Authorities about the effects of the cable cuts .

An undersea telecommunications cable cut on Tuesday partially blocked internet and mobile <m> services </m> in Alexandria and some other governorates .
The cable cut happened around the same time that a different cable , owned by Telecom Egypt , was cut that also affected services , Egyptian authorities said .
Mahmoud al - Goweiny , a member of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority's board of directors , told Al - Masry Al - Youm that this particular undersea cable has frequently malfunctioned since late 2007 .
Ahmed Osama , deputy executive director of Telecom Egypt , said the cable passes through Egypt from Europe and reaches Asia .
Osama said the cut's effect in Egypt was limited , and there haven't been clear reports about a cause .
"Some internet users suffered problems with internet and mobile services , Osama noted .
Osama attributed these problems to the Telecom Egypt cable cut , which affected Etisalat Egypt and LINKdotNET , two of Egypt's largest internet services providers .

<m> cuts </m> in Severed cables bring down phone lines linking Europe , Asia , Mideast
Internet and telephone communications between Europe , the Middle East and Asia were severely disrupted Friday after three undersea cables were damaged in the Mediterranean , France Telecom said .
`` The causes of the cut , which is located in the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia , on sections linking Sicily to Egypt , remain unclear , '' a statement said , while a spokesman said it was unlikely to have been an attack .
The company said it was sending a ship to fix the lines but that it would not arrive until Monday and that it could take until December 31 before normal service was restored .
Most business-to-business traffic between Europe and Asia was being rerouted through the United States , the firm said , but regular communications between Europe and several Asian countries has been disrupted since early Friday .
Sixty-five per cent of traffic to India was down , while services to Singapore , Malaysia , Saudi Arabia , Egypt , Taiwan and Pakistan were also severely affected , a spokesman said Friday evening .
An afternoon toll released by France Telecom said that 100 percent of traffic was lost in the Maldives Indian Ocean islands , with the Gulf state of Qatar and Djibouti , on the Gulf of Aden , also losing over 70 percent of their traffic .
Egypt 's state news agency MENA reported that the <m> cuts </m> happened off the coast of Sicily at 10:00 am ( 0800 GMT ) on Friday , with Indian-registered Reliance GlobalCom directing a submarine cable repair company to head to the region to fix the cables .
The agency added that services were being rerouted to backup cables and satellites to compensate for the failures .
The cables are jointly owned by several dozen different countries .
One of the cables is 40,000 kilometres ( 25,000 miles ) long and links 33 different countries while a second is 20,000 kilometres long and serves 14 states .
`` If there was just one cable down we could have used the other two , '' said France Telecom spokesman Louis-Michel Aymard .
`` But all three are down so this puts us in a very difficult situation .
`` This is a very rare situation , '' he said .
The cables might have got caught up in trawlers ' nets or there may have been an underwater landslide , said Aymard .
One appeared to be fully severed , while the other two seemed to be only partially cut , he added .
Each cable has a `` leader '' country , he said. Egypt is in charge of the main cable and in this capacity commissioned France Telecom Marine , a subsidiary of the communications giant , to handle the repairs .
The boat , with 20 kilometres ( 12.5 miles ) of spare cable on board , will leave very early Saturday and arrive Monday .
In January , five cables in the Middle East and Europe were cut , causing Internet failures in the region and damaging traffic through the region 's important call centre industry .
France Telecom said it would publish updates on its website on the latest traffic disruption .
Traffic from Europe to Algeria and Tunisia is not affected , it said .

Seacom operations fully restored : 4 November 2011
The break in an undersea cable on that affected Seacom has been repaired
November 4 , 2011
Undersea cable operator Seacom announced today ( 4 November 2011 ) that repairs have been completed on a broken cable off the coast of Egypt that caused an <m> outage </m> on its network .
Seacom said that its cable network was successfully repaired on 29 October 2011 and all circuits were restored to the core network as of 4 November 02 : 00 GMT .
All Seacom traffic to Europe was affected by the break which happened on 8 October 2011 on one of their Mediterranean backhaul service providers' cables between Abu Talat and Marseilles .
Initial indications were that the break would take 12 days to fix .
The cable operator announced that it had restored services to its business customers via alternate routes on 14 October 2011 .
This was followed by similar restoration to the rest of its clients on 20 October 2011 .
"Our partner network has informed us that the assigned cable ship worked in optimal weather conditions for the duration of their repairs .
The cable was quickly lifted , the new cable spliced in , tested and re - laid thanks to close coordination between the ship crew and on - shore support , " Seacom said in an announcement on their website . | No |

COLTS BEAT CHIEFS 20 - 13 TO CLINCH PLAYOFF BERTH
Dec . 24 4 : 33 AM EST
Andrew Luck couldn't help but smile thinking about the joyous celebration taking place just down the hall , through the big metal doors marking the entrance to the Colts' locker room .
Even interim coach Bruce Arians had been dancing .
"It's a fun locker room , a great locker room , " Luck said after leading Indianapolis to a 20 - 13 <m> victory </m> over Kansas City .
"You know guys are going to play hard no matter what the score , no matter what the situation , and I am very proud to be a part of a team like that . "
A team that's headed back to the playoffs , too .
Luck threw for 205 yards on Sunday , breaking Cam Newton's single - season mark for yards by a first - year quarterback .
He also engineered the go - ahead drive late in the fourth quarter , hitting Reggie Wayne on third - and - goal from the Kansas City 7 with just over 4 minutes remaining .
The touchdown pass finished off Luck's seventh four - quarter comeback this season , and allowed the Colts ( 10 - 5 ) to join the Miami Dolphins of 2008 as the only teams in NFL history to win at least 10 games one year after losing 14 or more .
"Would we have done it without him ? " Arians asked .
"No . "
Luck broke Newton's record of 4 , 051 yards passing in the second quarter , and then became the fifth rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl era to win at least 10 games in a season .
"Obviously it's nicer to be in the playoffs , " Luck said , "but it's nice to have a couple records β which I'm sure will be broken in the next year . "
Don't be quite so sure .
Luck still has next Sunday's game against Houston to pile up numbers , and then comes a trip to the playoffs , where the Colts became a mainstay under his predecessor , Peyton Manning .
"We didn't want to slide in the backdoor and put the extra stress on a man having to win the next game , " Luck said .
"So we are very glad to be going to the postseason . "
Arians will also get a reprieve from shouldering so much of the burden .
Colts coach Chuck Pagano , who has undergoing treatment for leukemia , plans to rejoin the team this week .
Jamaal Charles ran for 226 yards for the Chiefs , including an 84 - yard scamper on the first play of the second half as his team rallied to forge a 13 - all tie entering the fourth quarter .
It was Charles' second 200 - yard game of the season , and the third of his career , and came one week after he managed 10 yards on nine carries against Oakland .
"It was fun today , competing out there and doing it while we were trying to come back , " Charles said .
"It was fun going out there and putting out a performance like that . "
Charles joined the Titans' Chris Johnson and former Lions great Barry Sanders as the only players with three runs of 80 or more yards in a season .
Peyton Hillis added 101 yards on the ground for the Chiefs ( 2 - 13 ) , who finished with 352 yards rushing in a losing effort .
A big reason why was Brady Quinn , who was just 10 of 22 for 162 yards with two interceptions through the air .
"This game was without a doubt , 100 percent on my shoulders , " Quinn said .
"You can't play the way I played today and win a football game . "
His trouble began with the Chiefs' fifth offensive play , when he threw woefully behind Dexter McCluster β who wasn't even looking for the ball .
Darius Butler picked off the pass in stride , and took it untouched 32 yards to give the Colts a 7 - 0 lead .
Kansas City managed a field goal by Ryan Succop , but he missed his next try and the Colts went the other direction to set up the first of Adam Vinatieri's two field goals .
Charles fumbled in the red zone later in the second quarter , and the Colts moved into Vinatieri's range for a 36 - yard field goal and a 13 - 3 halftime lead .
Charles electrified a sparse crowd on the first play of the second half .
He angled to the left and then found room down the sideline , cutting back toward the middle of the field and winning a foot - race with the Indianapolis defense for an 86 - yard touchdown run .
The Chiefs were in position to take the lead later in the third quarter , but Quinn was picked off by Vontae Davis in the end zone .
The defense forced a three - and - out and Kansas City was driving again before settling for Succop's tying 47 - yard field goal .
The Chiefs got the ball back again late in the fourth quarter , but Quinn was stuffed on a quarterback sneak on fourth - and - inches from the Indianapolis 27 .
That turned the ball over to Luck , who completed an 11 - yard pass to T . Y . Hilton to convert a third down before he and Wayne won it .
"At times it looked a little bleak , " Arians said .
"Guys hung in there , made plays when they had to make them .
Offensively we struggled , and then put together a drive , like we have all year . "
NOTES : Chiefs WR Terrance Copper ( left knee ) and DT Tyson Jackson ( left foot ) left with injuries . . . .
Wayne had five catches to become the fifth player in NFL history with four 100 - catch seasons .
He also became the 14th player to reach 13 , 000 yards receiving .

<m> win </m> in Manning guides Indianapolis to eighth straight win
Peyton Manning helped inspire the Indianapolis Colts to their eighth straight <m> win </m> of the season as they overcame Jacksonville 31-24 on Thursday to reach the play-offs .
Manning finished with 29-of-34 after completing his first 17 passes and threw for 364 yards , including three touchdowns .
And Manning was full of praise of the side after they fought back from 14-0 and 24-14 down to clinch a place in the play-offs as the fifth seeds in the AFC .
`` It was a funny game , we were completing some passes but we were down 14-0 , '' Manning said .
`` The crowd were into it and Jacksonville is always tough here at home .
`` It 's been a very different season .
For us to win eight in a row , it was what we had to do , we had no choice but to do that and have a chance to get into the play-offs .
`` You never take winning for granted .
It 's hard to win one game and it 's extremely hard to win eight in a row like we did . ''
The Colts had looked like they would suffer their first defeat in eight games as they entered the final quarter 10 points down .
However Manning 's one-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dallas Clark and Adam Vinatieri 's 45-yard field goal tied the scores .
And with just under five minutes remaining , Keiwan Ratliff intercepted quarterback David Garrard 's pass and raced in from 35 yards out for the match-clinching touchdown .
Garrard , who rushed for a score , finished with 28-of-41 for 329 yards with one touchdown and one interception for Jacksonville .
And Colts coach Tony Dungy added : `` It 's been a long fight back from ( starting the year ) 3-4 .
`` I like where we are right now .
Peyton Manning was unbelievable , and our defense made some plays in the fourth quarter when they had to . '' | No |

Fresh riots were reported in Greece on Saturday December 13 2008 in protest at the <m> killing </m> by police of a 15-year-old boy , Alexandros Grigoropoulos , eight days ago .
The disturbances have ben described as the most serious in Greece since student protests that preceded the fall of the military junta in 1974 .

The protests in memory of the teenager had been initially peaceful .
Students of the school attended by Grigoropoulos held a silent vigil during the day in Syntagma Square .
Hours later , hundreds of others brought candles to the site , while others gathered at the site of the shooting .
But later , about 100 youths hurled volleys of petrol bombs and rocks at a police station in the Exarchia district , where the officer , who shot him and has now been charged with murder , was based .
The protesters chanted `` murderers out '' .
Later , hooded and masked protesters targeted a commercial area near the National Technical University of Athens , known as the Polytechnic , overturning cars and setting fire to three banks .

<m> checked into </m> in Tara Reid Finally Checks Into Rehab For Undisclosed Reasons
It 's been a long time coming , but Tara Reid has finally entered Malibu Promises Treatment Center on Tuesday , her rep told People.com .
The 33-year-old hard partying actress finally decided to put an end to her drinking days and get help for her addictions , although her publicist refused to disclose the real reason why Reid <m> checked into </m> rehab .
In a statement released to People , the `` American Pie '' star 's rep Jack Ketsoyan confirmed that she was at the same clinic where Britney Spears , Ben Affleck , Charlie Sheen , and Lindsay Lohan were previously treated , and pleaded for her and her family 's privacy at this time .
`` Her friends and family are supportive of her decision , `` a friend of the actress said .
`` She checked in herself - it was her decision . ''
Following her breakthrough in 1999 's `` American Pie , '' the actress has been better known for her partying habits and personal life rather than her movies , which were n't that many in the first place .
Three years ago , Reid , who has launched a new fashion line called Mantra in September , opened up about her party girl image saying it was n't accurate and her entourage was a bad influence as well .
`` My picture is taken only when I have a cup in my hand , '' she told Us Weekly .
`` Trust me , my body is tired .
I partied hard .
But I think it was that the people I partied with were not the best people . ''
Earlier this year , the star said she had turned a corner from being a hard-hitting drinker and was now a `` social drinker . ''
When asked about the temptation to fall back into old habits she said she had enough fun and a great time to last her a lifetime .
`` I 'm so happy with where I 'm at right now .
I do n't need to do anything anymore , '' she added .
Besides `` American Pie '' and her E ! reality show `` Taradise , ''
Reid has had a recurring role on `` Scrubs '' and starred in `` Van Wilder '' and `` The Big Lebowski . ''

<m> murder </m> in Two possible gang members are under arrest for the assassination-style <m> murder </m> of a Los Angeles County sheriff 's deputy outside his house in a gang-plagued section of the city last summer , police said Saturday .
Guillermo Hernandez , 20 , and Carlos Velasquez , 24 , were arrested Friday and were being held without bail in a Los Angeles Police jail , charged with killing Juan Abel Escalante last summer , said Chief of Detectives Charlie Beck .
The suspects are members of the Avenues Gang , a violent group that has long claimed as its turf the low-income Cypress Park area northeast of Dodger Stadium , according to the Los Angeles Times .
But police chief William J. Bratton , eager to protect his case , would not confirm the reported gang links .
Escalante was shot outside his boyhood home in the 3400 block of Thorpe Street in Cypress Park while on his way to work at the Men 's Central Jail early Aug. 2 .
Bratton said Escalante was loading a car seat into the family 's car when his wife , Celeste , heard gun shots and saw her husband on the ground .
Police earlier confirmed that Escalante was shot in his head from behind and may never have seen his murderer .
Bratton asked for the public 's help in providing additional information now that the suspects ' names were made public .
The city had offered a $ 75,000 in the case , and the county Board of Supervisors added another $ 20,000 to that pot .
At an afternoon news conference at Parker Center , police offered almost no details about the arrests and Bratton specifically declined to confirm reports of the suspects ' gang affiliation .
A filing with the district attorney 's office was expected on Monday , and officials said releasing details in advance of the filing could put the case at risk .
Bratton asked anyone with information to call 877-LAPD-24-7 ( 527-3247 ) .

<m> admitted </m> in Well it 's better late than never , Tara .
The original trainwreck Tara Reid 's publicist confirmed that the actress Reid was <m> admitted </m> into Promises Treatment Center in Los Angeles , California .
`` We appreciate your respect to her and her family 's privacy at this time , '' the actress 's rep Jack Ketsoyan tells People magazine .
Reid checked herself in on Tuesday , December 9 , 2008 .
Her rep , however , declined to reveal Reid 's reason for this seemingly abrupt decision .
Reid 's , 33 , acting abilities had always been overshadowed by her 'party girl ' reputation , and certainly set the bar for young starlets like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton .
In an October interview with People , Reid claimed she was a 'social drinker ' and that her crazy past was far behind her .
'I 've done it .
Trust me .
I 've done enough for a lifetime ofeverything .
I 've had a great time .
I partied .
I had fun .
I ate and drank whatever .
I dated a million guys , but I 'm so happy with where I 'm at right now .
I do n't need to do anything anymore , ' she told the magazine .
Apparently , old habits die hard .
Hopefully , Promises will help her get back on track . | No |

CHARGED WITH MURDER : What most of the liberal media won't tell you about the "very spiritual' female Kraft employee who <m> shot </m> three co - workers
The woman who allegedly shot three co - workers β killing twoβ at the Kraft Plant Thursday night has been charged with murder , attempted murder , aggravated assault , burglary , and other related charges , says Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams .
The victims and alleged shooter in the last night β s Kraft plant shooting had a history of arguing that dates back several years β the suspect thought her co - workers were spraying chemicals on her and talking behind her back , according to police .
Yvonne Hiller , 43 , got into an altercation with the two women and a male co - worker Thursday night , was taken to the supervisor β s office , suspended and escorted out of the building . .
Ten minutes after being taken off the job , Hiller drove her car to the security gate and forced her way in at gunpoint , police say , and headed back up to the third floor armed with her . 357 Magnum , which she has a permit to carry .
She went to the employee lounge , saw four of her co - workers β three of with whom she β d just had the altercation .

She shot the other three , police say .
Bryant Dalton , 39 , was shot in the neck and is hospitalized in critical condition .
Latonya Brown , 36 , was shot in the head and Tanya Wilson , 47 , was shot in the side .
Both women died .
Kenneth Dorsey says the woman accused of killing two co - workers and critically injuring a third at the Kraft plant in Northeast Philly is a good person .
And so were the two women she β s accused of gunning down with a . 357 Magnum , just minutes after she β d been suspended and escorted from the building .
β We talked about her Muslim faith and I wished her happy Ramadan , β Dorsey said .
β I never thought in my deepest heart that it would come down to this , β Dorsey said .
The reason Hiller was suspended had not been made public Friday afternoon and while some co - workers said she had a history of run - ins with other workers and management , Dorsey said like anyone , they sometimes had their differences , but always got along .

<m> fire </m> in Sarah Palin 's family will have to attend church in a local school this morning after a <m> fire </m> ripped through her church on Friday evening .
The fire , estimated to have caused $ 1 million in damages to the Wasilla Bible Church , has been labeled `` suspicious '' by James Steele , chief of the Central Mat-Su Fire Department .
Steele told the Anchorage Daily News that investigators are looking at the cause of the blaze as `` potential arson '' and said it was too early to link the fire to the exposure the church received as a result of Palin 's vice-presidential run .
`` Right now there 's no indication that we have that there 's any connection there .
We just do n't have any leads at all as far as the intent or motive in this , '' Steele said .
The fire , the largest of the year for the department , `` was was set at the entrance of the church '' according to the Associated Press and was battled by firefighters for nearly eight hours before it was fully extinguished .
Reports are that five women were inside the building at the time of the fire .
No one was injured .
Governor Palin visited the church on Saturday and her office later released a statement .
`` Gov. Palin stopped by the church this morning , and she told an assistant pastor that she apologizes if the incident is in any way connected to the undeserved negative attention the church has received since she became a vice-presidential candidate on Aug. 29 .
Whatever the motives of the arsonist , the governor has faith in the scriptural passage that what was intended for evil will in some way be used for good . ''
Palin is in Juneau today , but the Anchorage Daily News said her children were planning on attending services at the makeshift church .

Esther Williams , the swimming champion turned actress who starred in glittering and aquatic Technicolor musicals of the 1940s and 1950s , has died .

<m> died </m> in Bettie Page , the pin-up model whose seductive photographs in magazines titillated and outraged Americans in the 1950s , has <m> died </m> , her agent said .
She was 85 .
`` With deep personal sadness I must announce that my dear friend and client Bettie Page passed away at 6:41pm PST this evening ( 0241 GMT Friday ) in a Los Angeles hospital , '' her agent Mark Roesler said Thursday in a statement .
Page suffered a heart attack nine days earlier and never regained consciousness .
`` She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality , '' Roesler said .
Page , with shoulder-length jet-black hair and bangs , combined sweetness and sexuality in a series of now-legendary posters and photographs in the 1950s , including as one of the inaugural centerfolds in Hugh Heffner 's new magazine Playboy , which named her `` the model of the century . ''
The nice-naughty image -- a sweet and beguiling smile matched with a curvacious figure and Page 's propensity for burlesque films and bondage images -- proved highly combustible on the eve of America 's sexual revolution .
In the late 1950s Page became one of the most photographed women in the world , and her popularity soared even as she left the limelight nearly half a century ago .
Page later said she was puzzled by her effect on pop culture .
`` I have no idea why I 'm the only model who has had so much fame so long after quitting work , '' she told the Los Angeles Times in 2006 .
In her old age , she refused to be photographed , preserving her mythic status .
`` I want to be remembered , as I was when I was young and in my golden times ...
I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people 's perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form . ''
Born in 1923 in Nashville , Tennessee , Bettie Mae Page was one of six children from an impoverished family .
After earning her university degree , she worked as a secretary and aspired to Hollywood stardom but never made it as an actress .
A screen test at 20th Century Fox went badly , with a producer offering her a break in return for sexual favors -- she refused .
Filmmaker and aviator Howard Hughes also doggedly pursued Page but she rebuffed him as well .
`` I never returned any of his calls , '' she once said .
`` I guess people will say I made a mistake .
But sex is part of love , and you should n't go around doing it unless you are in love .
I certainly did n't . ''
She posed for her first pin-up photos in 1947 and by the 1950s provocative pictures of her in bikinis or sexy lingerie were wildly popular , tacked up on the walls of locker rooms , student halls , offices and military barracks .
Although the pictures -- which sometimes played on bondage themes -- seem tame by contemporary standards , they raised alarms in a more conservative era , prompting US senators to investigate pornography .
Page was subpoenaed to appear before a senate committee headed by prominent Democrat Estes Kefauver but in the end never had to testify .
For Page , the bondage photos were harmless fun .
`` But honestly , who could take any of this seriously ? '' she said years later , according to her official website .
`` I never understood how anyone believed those poses were sexy .
To be tied up ?
I do n't get it . ''
By 1958 , at the peak of her fame , Page vanished from public view and her modeling days ended .
She became a born-again Christian but struggled with marital problems and suffered from depression and violent mood swings .
In 1992 , she left a California mental hospital having been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic .
In the 1990s , a lawyer who later became her agent , Mark Roesler , used Page 's famous images for a lucrative licensing and merchandising deal that helped her financially and renewed her fame .
The merchandise , including a clothing line , along with a film in 2005,
`` The Notorious Bettie Page , '' helped introduce her to a new generation in the United States and abroad .
`` She was reclusive and private , so without intending to be , without quite understanding how , her modeling work made her a pivotal figure in the sexual revolution that began in the 1950s , '' Roesler said . | No |

<m> cut </m> in India suffers massive internet disruption after undersea cables break
Millions of people across the Middle East and Asia have lost access to the internet after two undersea cables in the Mediterranean suffered severe damage .
Huge numbers in Egypt and India were left struggling to get online as a result of the outage , when the major internet pipeline between Egypt and Italy was <m> cut </m> .
Internet Service Providers ( ISPs ) throughout the region , including those in United Arab Emirates , Kuwait and Saudi Arabia , also reported problems .
International telephone calls , which have also been affected , are being rerouted to work around the problem .
Industry experts told The Times that two sub-sea cables went down just off Alexandra , causing the mass disruption .
`` It is incredibly rare to experience a dual-break where both cables are down simultaneously , '' said a spokesperson for Interoute , the internet networks company .
The Egyptian ministry said it will take `` several days '' for cables to be repaired and is trying to reroute Egypt 's internet connections .
Indian ISPs said their problems were due to the cable damage off Egypt .
Speaking to reporters , Rajesh Chharia , president of the Internet Service Providers ' Association of India , said : `` Information technology companies , software companies and call centres that provide online services to the UK or the US east coast are the worst affected . ''
Rafaat Hindy , from the Egyptian ministry , said : `` Despite this being an international cable affecting many Gulf and Arab countries , we are closest to it and so we have a lot of responsibility .
`` We are working as fast as we can . ''
It is thought that up to 70 per cent of web services in Egypt , and 60 per cent in India , were disrupted yesterday .
There were reports that phone and internet difficults had spread to Yemen , Sudan , Bangladesh and Sri Lanka .
The shut down will take several days to fix , and could have a major impact on the region and across the world .
It is likely to hit businesses who will struggle to communicate in the affected countires .
Call-centres who work for British companies are likely to be offline or hard to contact in the coming days .
Others warned that bank and stock market trading could be affected .
The digital blackout highlighted the vulnerability of global communications .
Hundreds of millions of people access the web , but the vast majority of international traffic runs through a a small amount of cables submerged below the sea .
Industry insiders warned that a domino effect was occuring today , causing the disruption to spread across the globe .
As companies ' private internet services went down , workers were forced to use the public internet and mobile phones to communicate .
This has resulted in a heavy strain on phone and internet networks , meaning calls could go down and cause the internet to become slower or blackout completely .

<m> disrupted </m> in Damaged cables cause internet outages for millions
Up to 70 % of communications to the Middle East have been <m> disrupted </m> after cables connecting region to Europe were damaged
Millions of web users across the Middle East are struggling to get online after damage to undersea cables connecting Europe , Africa and Asia took down a major route for internet traffic .
As much as 70 % of internet traffic and telephone communications between the continents has been affected by the outage .
It is believed to have been caused by damage to a string of cables which run on the bed of the Mediterranean Sea between Italy and Egypt , connecting Europe with other parts of the world .
The lines , which run hit the Egyptian coast at Alexandria and go on to connect to Asia , are responsible for carrying vast amounts of internet traffic and phone calls between different parts of the world .
It remains unclear what precisely what caused the damage , but the Egyptian communications ministry said that ships have already been dispatched to look at the problem - although repairs will take `` several days '' .
Jonathan Wright , a director at telecoms company Interoute , said that the outage could have a devastating affect on business and communication around the world .
`` The potential impact of an outage of this size can not be underestimated - it is like severing a major artery , '' he said .
`` Global internet connectivity is reliant on sub-sea cables connecting countries . ''
The incident comes less than a year after a similar outage brought a halt to communications between Europe , Africa and Asia .
Those problems were believed to have been caused by ships ' anchors ripping through another section of the same cables , but were exacerbated by simultaneous damage in lines through the Middle East .
As many as 75 million people were affected in countries as far apart as India , Egypt and Dubai .
It is not yet clear whether today 's outage is the same order of magnitude .
Despite the prevalence of wireless internet and satellite connections , global communications are still largely reliant on the vast webs of fibre optic cables which cover the planet .
The lines , which take years of planning to install , move traffic backwards and forwards across continents .
The cables hit by the latest incident are among the most vital information pipelines linking Europe to the rest of the world - and are responsible for the majority of all connectivity in the Middle East and south Asia .
According to Alan Mauldin , research director of communications analysis company TeleGeography , the succession of problems in the region are only likely to be remedied by a series of new cables which are currently being planned .
`` Many new cable systems are slated to enter service between Europe and Egypt in the next few years , '' he said . | No |

Friday , Sep 10 , 2010 | Updated 9 : 28 AM EDT

β At one point , there was a co - worker holding onto Latoya Brown , β says Fairman , β and the defendant ordered that worker away , and then she shot Brown . β
Hiller had repeated run - ins with co - workers , whom she accused of spraying her with a deer scent , among other things ( see related story ) .
Two women were pronounced dead at the scene , and a male co - worker was wounded .

The cable system that was cut is known as SMW4 cable or South East Asia- Middle East-Western Europe 4 .
It connects 12 countries : Pakistan , Indonesia , Singapore , Malaysia , Bangladesh , India , Sri Lanka , United Arab Emirates , Saudi Arabia , Egypt , Italy and France .
Vodafone 's cell phone service in Egypt has been affected by the cable failure , according to Bloomberg .
Mobile phone service between Europe and Asia on Orange was also disrupted , the Bloomberg article said .
Orange officials told Bloomberg that at one point as much as 55 percent of voice traffic in Saudi Arabia , 52 percent in Egypt , and 82 percent in India was out of service .
Telephone providers , such as Portugal Telecom and Reliance , told Bloomberg that they 've been rerouting traffic to other parts of their network to avoid issues .
But this rerouting has caused network congestion , which means slower Internet connections and some dropped phone calls .
In January , undersea cables outside Alexandria were also damaged , disrupting about 70 percent of the communications network in India and the Middle East .
</s>
<m> failed </m> in Internet service in Egypt , the UAE , India and other counties in the region was interrupted today when submarine cables in the Mediterranean Sea <m> failed </m> .
Cause of the failure is not known at this time , says operator Reliance GlobalCom .
A total of three cables linking Italy and Egypt went down .
A ship has been sent out to fix the problems .
Currently , services are being rerouted to backup cables and satellites .
As rerouting measures fully kick in , services are expected to improve by early Saturday morning .
This is n't the first time that cable service to the region has failed .
Earlier this year , five separate undersea cables were cut between late January and early February , interrupting service to a number of countries .
There 's likely to be some serious failure analysis involved if we see some more pipes go off-line in the next week . | Yes |

Three dead after fire - bomb hits bank during Greek riots
A FIRE - BOMB attack on a bank in Athens left at least three people dead as police fought pitched <m> battles </m> with striking protesters furious at brutal spending cuts designed to avoid national bankruptcy .
Hooded youths hurled petrol bombs at stores and businesses in the Greek capital , setting the bank and two government buildings ablaze .
Protesters also tried to storm the Greek Parliament and the rioting spread to Greece's second city , Thessaloniki .
Police said at least three people , a man and two women , were killed in the fire - bomb attack .
Firefighters said as many as 20 people had been inside the bank .
It was unclear if the dead were customers or bank employees .
Two buildings , one used by tax officials and another by regional authorities , also caught fire .
Greek President Carolos Papoulias condemned the violence , saying the debt - hit country had "reached the edge of the abyss" .
"Our country has reached the edge of the abyss .
It is the responsibility of us all to not take the step into the void .
"What is at stake in coming days is to keep social cohesion and social peace . "
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said the firebombing was a "raw murderous act" .
Athens underground stations were shuttered and the international airport deserted as tens of thousands of union members rallied on the eve of a vote in parliament on the planned cuts and tax hikes .
The general strike was the first major test of the Socialist government's resolve to push through unprecedented measures since agreeing a οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½110 billion ( $158 billion ) EU and IMF debt bailout over the weekend .
Prime Minister George Papandreou's insistence that the measures are vital for the nation's survival failed to dissuade unions from paralysing public transport , grounding air traffic and preventing ferries from leaving docks .
After rallying in two separate demonstrations in central Athens , members of the main unions began converging on parliament , where the Government was preparing for the measures to be voted on Thursday .

War - Zone Athens : three people dead , many buildings burning as general strike march turns into a battle
May 5 2010 15 : 14
Three people have suffocated to death as a result of a fire in Marfin Bank during ongoing <m> battles </m> between anti - measure protesters and police in Athens .
The Athens protest march marking the zenith of the general strike called for the 5th of May was attended by an approximate 200 , 000 ( 20 , 000 which is the foreign broadcast number referring to the PAME march alone ) , although because of lack of media coverage due to the media participation in the general strike no concrete estimates can be made .
After the PAME ( Communist Party union ) protesters left Syntagma square , the first lines of the main march started arriving before the Parliament with the first clashes erupting at the end of Stadiou street .
The march then walked on the Unknown Soldier grounds leading the Presidential Guard to retreat , and attempted to storm the Parliament but was pushed back by riot police forces which today demonstrated a particularly staunch attitude and resolve against the demonstrators .
Soon battles erupted around the Parliament with protesters throwing Molotov cocktails and rocks , with one riot police armored van torched , and the police responding by extended use of tear gas that soon made Athens' atmosphere unbearably acrid .
As more blocks reached Syntagma square , the battles spread across the city center and lasted for more than five hours .
During the clashes several state buildings were set ablaze including the County Headquarters of Attika .
At the time of writing the Ministry of Finance is reported to be on fire , and vital tax documents as destroyed by the raging fire .
However the strange thing is that it is the fourth floor of the building that is burning , at a height inapproachable to petrol bombs .
The building is in danger of total collapse .
According to news reports that began at 14 : 00 Greek time after , under pressure by the events , most radio and TV stations decided to break their strike , claim that the fire at Marfin Bank's Stadiou street branch that has led to the death of three workers ( one a pregnant woman ) was started by protesters .
However this remains an unsubstantiated claim .
A similar case three decades ago had originally put the blame for the fire at Kappa - Marousi building on Panepistimiou street , leading to the death of several people inside , to anarchists , while its was later proved the fire was caused by tear gas fired by the police .
After the tragic death of the three workers made the round of Athens , new clashes started to spread in the Greek capital , with a large crowd gathered outside the burned bank when Marfin's boss tried to visit the site .
Clashes broke out between the crowd and police when the former attacked the bank magnate accusing him of forcing the dead workers to scab on a general strike and locking them in the building despite them demanding to evacuate it since 12 : 00 .
In Parliament the Communist Party of Greece has accused the government for the deaths , claiming it was a result of agents provocateur fascist groups .
The claims of the Communist Party are based on the fact that 50 fascists tried to enter the PAME demo bearing the flags of the union earlier in the morning .
The fascists were spotted , chased and sought refuge behind riot police lines .
Accusing the extreme - right as being behind the deaths , the Coalition of Radical Left has declared in Parliament that the government cannot pretend to be in grief for the loss of life , as it has been attacking human life by all means possible .
Meanwhile , extended clashes broke out in Salonika where approximately 50 , 000 people marched destroying dozens of banks and corporate shops in Greece's second largest city .
Clashes with the police continued for several hours .
According to news broadcasts anarchist have occupied the Labour Center of the city .
In Patras , around 20 , 000 protesters were joined by tractor drivers and garbage truck drivers on their vehicles , as flaming barricades were erected along central streets of the city and clashes developed between protestors and the police .
In Ioannina the protesters attacked banks and corporate shops leading to extended use of chemicals by the police .
In Heraklion , 10 , 000 people are reported as marching against the measures .
In Corfu , protesters taking part in the anti - measures march occupied the County Headquarters .
Protesters have occupied the Administrative Headquarters of Naxos and the City Hall of Naoussa .
As a result of the Athens riots , the police have cordoned off the entire center of the city , erecting check points of entry and exit , while all police work permits have been recalled .
At the time of writing battles continue to rage in the inner city , while news broadcasts claim the police is mobilising its forces to storm an anarchist squat in Exarcheia . | No |

<m> issuing </m> in Microsoft issues emergency patch for Internet Explorer
Microsoft has issued an emergency patch for its Internet Explorer browser , aiming to fix a critical flaw that allowed hackers to take over computers merely by steering them to infected websites .
Microsoft Wednesday took the rare step of <m> issuing </m> the patch after numerous security experts advised people to switch to rival browsers until Microsoft fixed the problem .
Microsoft usually releases patches on a set schedule and this is only the third emergency patch in the last three years .
The flaw has been in circulation since the first week of December .
So far , more than two million computers are believed to have been infected , according to PC Magazine .
The vulnerabilities are found on copies of Internet Explorer 7 , as well as IE6 and IE5 .
The patch is designed to prevent attackers from downloading malware onto users ' computers if they visit a malicious Web site , or a legitimate Web site that has been infected .

Microsoft rushes urgent fix for Internet Explorer
It β s not Patch Tuesday , but Microsoft has <m> released </m> a crucial update for Internet Explorer that you should apply immediately .
Microsoft included a cumulative update for Internet Explorer in the 13 security bulletins that made up Patch Tuesday last week , and that update was considered Critical as well .
Since then , though , a new flaw has been targeted by attacks in the wild , so Microsoft has responded with an out - of - band update .
Apply the urgent Fix - It solution from Microsoft to protect Internet Explorer from exploits .
The update from Microsoft is a Fix - It tool , which is more of a stop - gap bandage than an actual patch .
Applying the Fix - It will protect Internet Explorer and prevent the currently circulating exploit from working on your systems .
Paul Henry , security and forensic analyst with Lumension , says that there are number of mitigating factors that limit the potential scope of this threat , but those factors may offer little consolation for many users .
β The bad news is that this is a very wide - reaching patch , affecting all versions of IE across all operating systems , from XP to RT , " he says .
"And more bad news : the average user is very susceptible to being hit with this . β
Microsoft claims that running Internet Explorer in Enhanced Security Configuration mode prevents this attack .
Internet Explorer runs in this restricted mode by default on Windows Server 2008 , Windows Server 2008 R2 , Windows Server 2012 , and Windows Server 2012 R2 .
Microsoft states that all supported versions of Outlook , Outlook Express , and Windows Mail include protection by default as well .
HTML email messages are opened by default in the Restricted Sites security zone , which disables scripts and ActiveX controls necessary for the exploit to execute .
However , Microsoft cautions that the protection in Outlook only applies to the HTML message within Outlook itself .
If a user receives an email with a link and clicks on it , they β re still potentially vulnerable because the threat is now Web - based and functioning outside of Outlook .
β The average user does not run the restricted sites mode , are not using the Enhanced Security Configuration and are all - too - willing to click on phishing emails , " Henry explains , "I recommend employing the mitigating factors , as well as advising users about this so they will be less likely to click malicious links until you can apply the patch .
It β s been a while since we β ve seen an out - of - band patch for IE from Microsoft , but it β s still important to apply it as soon as possible . β
β It's important to reiterate that ALL versions of IE are affected including the Internet Explorer 11 preview , Tyler Reguly , technical manager of security research and development for Tripwire , says .
"Since attacks are occurring now , this is a situation where it's in everyone's best interest for Microsoft to release a patch as soon as possible .
In the meantime , install the shim that they've released . β
He adds , β For less technical users that aren't comfortable with Microsoft Fix it solutions , using another browser until a patch is available is the best option , β
A couple additional notes : The Fix - It solution only works with 32 - bit versions of Internet Explorer , and you must first apply the cumulative update for Internet Explorer from last week β s Patch Tuesday ( MS13 - 069 ) . | No |

<m> died </m> in Mark Felt , ' Deep Throat ' of Watergate , dead at 95
W. Mark Felt , who leaked information to reporters under the moniker , `` Deep Throat , '' about the Watergate break-in , died Thursday at the age of 95 , sources told CNN .
Mark Felt , known as `` Deep Throat , '' divulged information to reporters about the Watergate break-in .
Rob Jones , Felt 's grandson , said his grandfather <m> died </m> at his home in Santa Rosa , California .
According to published reports , Felt died of congestive heart failure .
Felt admitted in a 2005 Vanity Fair article he was the Washington Post 's source for many of its 400 stories on the Watergate affair during the early nineteen seventies .
The Watergate break-in eventually led to the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon .
`` I 'm proud of everything that Deep Throat did , '' Felt , 92 , told CNN 's `` Larry King Live '' in 2006 , his first public interview on the subject .
Felt 's entanglement with history occurred in 1972 after the bungled break-in at the Democratic National Party offices in the Watergate hotel .
Felt , an associate director at the FBI , said he was unhappy with the way the administration meddled with the investigation into the break-in , which led him to divulge information to the newspaper .
Video Watch how Felt played a pivotal role in presidential history
Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward , then-rookie reporters with the Washington Post , did stories about the break-in and subsequent cover-up .
Both men credited Felt for helping them , but Bernstein said Felt was a tough interview .
`` He did n't leak .
He had to really be squeezed , '' Bernstein said in a 2006 interview .
`` He confirmed mostly what we had gotten elsewhere .
He did n't want to volunteer a lot of information , yet his role was essential in giving us a solidity and a knowledge that what we were reporting was right . ''

Nixon Aide Fred LaRue <m> Dies </m> at 75
Published July 28 , 2004
Fred LaRue , a high - ranking Nixon administration official who served a prison term for his role in Watergate and was among those rumored to be Deep Throat , has died .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove said .
The coroner said he believes LaRue died Saturday of natural causes .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 4οΏ½ months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's Committee to Re - elect the President .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break in Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglary .
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was probably a combination of several people .
Woodward says Deep Throat was an individual and not a composite , and promised to reveal his identity only after the source is dead .
Among the other people who have been cited as possible Deep Throats are Earl J . Silbert , an original Watergate prosecutor ; Alexander Haig , who was Nixon's chief of staff and Ronald Reagan's secretary of state ; L . Patrick Gray , the acting FBI director who lived four blocks from Woodward ; and deputy White House counsel Fred Fielding .
All have denied it .
After his political career ended in scandal , LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's oil company and with its real estate holdings .
In an interview last summer with The Sun Herald newspaper , LaRue said Magruder lied when he claimed President Nixon knew about the break - in .
Magruder claimed Nixon approved the plan in a telephone conversation with Mitchell .
LaRue believed no such conversation occurred , saying he screened all the telephone calls on the getaway to Key Biscayne .
"I'm exceedingly angry about it .
I don't recall any phone call .
I don't think there was one , " he said .
If the president had approved the plan , LaRue believes that Mitchell would have told him .
"There's absolutely no way , because of my unique relationship with John and Martha Mitchell , that he would not have told me that when I was in Key Biscayne , " LaRue said .
"Absolutely no way .
I had dinner with the Mitchells four or five times a week .
It was not just a political relationship .
It was a very personal relationship . " | No |

Wladimir Klitschko stopped Tony Thompson in the sixth round to keep a comfortable hold on his WBA , IBF and WBO heavyweight title belts on Saturday in Bern , Switzerland .
Klitschko put Thompson on the canvas with a big right hand near the end of the fifth round at Stade de Suisse , and the 40 - year - old American southpaw never recovered .
The Ukrainian champion dropped Thompson again in the sixth , and referee Sam Williams gave the challenger a standing count before stopping the fight at 2 : 56 .
"Thompson was not so easy to box .
I'm satisfied , " said the 36 - year - old Klitschko , who improved his record to 58 - 3 ( 51 KO ) .
Klitschko finished the fight five rounds sooner than when knocking out Thompson in the 11th of their first title fight in 2008 .
Thompson , who was the mandatory challenger nominated by the IBF , fell to 36 - 3 ( 24 KO ) .
After the fight , Klitschko led the 22 , 000 crowd in signing "Happy Birthday" to his trainer Emanuel Steward , whose was 68 on Saturday .
"Tony Thompson is very hard to hit , " Steward said .
"Tony was watching Wladimir's right hand all night . "
A cagey opening round was followed by a scrappy second , as Klitschko twice wrestled Thompson to the floor .
Thompson briefly stepped up his cautious tactics when landing a left to Klitschko's face in the third .
Klitschko finally landed a long , straight right in the fifth and the round ended with Thompson struggling on the ropes .
The champion cornered Thompson toward the end of the sixth , and landed punches to the head though no single blow appeared to cause serious damage .
"I got caught but I'm OK , " Thompson said in the ring .
"He's strong and he's world heavyweight champion for a reason . "
Klitschko extended the domination of the heavyweight ranks he shares with his elder brother Vitali .
Vitali was in his brother's corner as usual , and acted as cheerleader in the third round , urging on fans in the football stadium when the first chants of "Klitschko , Klistchko" stirred .
The elder Klitschko will defend his WBC title against Manuel Charr of Germany in Moscow on Sept . 8 . | Yes |

<m> cut </m> in India suffers massive internet disruption after undersea cables break
Millions of people across the Middle East and Asia have lost access to the internet after two undersea cables in the Mediterranean suffered severe damage .
Huge numbers in Egypt and India were left struggling to get online as a result of the outage , when the major internet pipeline between Egypt and Italy was <m> cut </m> .
Internet Service Providers ( ISPs ) throughout the region , including those in United Arab Emirates , Kuwait and Saudi Arabia , also reported problems .
International telephone calls , which have also been affected , are being rerouted to work around the problem .
Industry experts told The Times that two sub-sea cables went down just off Alexandra , causing the mass disruption .
`` It is incredibly rare to experience a dual-break where both cables are down simultaneously , '' said a spokesperson for Interoute , the internet networks company .
The Egyptian ministry said it will take `` several days '' for cables to be repaired and is trying to reroute Egypt 's internet connections .
Indian ISPs said their problems were due to the cable damage off Egypt .
Speaking to reporters , Rajesh Chharia , president of the Internet Service Providers ' Association of India , said : `` Information technology companies , software companies and call centres that provide online services to the UK or the US east coast are the worst affected . ''
Rafaat Hindy , from the Egyptian ministry , said : `` Despite this being an international cable affecting many Gulf and Arab countries , we are closest to it and so we have a lot of responsibility .
`` We are working as fast as we can . ''
It is thought that up to 70 per cent of web services in Egypt , and 60 per cent in India , were disrupted yesterday .
There were reports that phone and internet difficults had spread to Yemen , Sudan , Bangladesh and Sri Lanka .
The shut down will take several days to fix , and could have a major impact on the region and across the world .
It is likely to hit businesses who will struggle to communicate in the affected countires .
Call-centres who work for British companies are likely to be offline or hard to contact in the coming days .
Others warned that bank and stock market trading could be affected .
The digital blackout highlighted the vulnerability of global communications .
Hundreds of millions of people access the web , but the vast majority of international traffic runs through a a small amount of cables submerged below the sea .
Industry insiders warned that a domino effect was occuring today , causing the disruption to spread across the globe .
As companies ' private internet services went down , workers were forced to use the public internet and mobile phones to communicate .
This has resulted in a heavy strain on phone and internet networks , meaning calls could go down and cause the internet to become slower or blackout completely .

Cable cuts partially block internet , mobile services in some areas
On Tue , 16 / 08 / 2011 - 13 : 42
An undersea telecommunications cable <m> cut </m> on Tuesday partially blocked internet and mobile services in Alexandria and some other governorates .
The cable cut happened around the same time that a different cable , owned by Telecom Egypt , was cut that also affected services , Egyptian authorities said .
Mahmoud al - Goweiny , a member of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority's board of directors , told Al - Masry Al - Youm that this particular undersea cable has frequently malfunctioned since late 2007 .
Ahmed Osama , deputy executive director of Telecom Egypt , said the cable passes through Egypt from Europe and reaches Asia .
Osama said the cut's effect in Egypt was limited , and there haven't been clear reports about a cause .
"Some internet users suffered problems with internet and mobile services , Osama noted .
Osama attributed these problems to the Telecom Egypt cable cut , which affected Etisalat Egypt and LINKdotNET , two of Egypt's largest internet services providers .

<m> stabbed </m> in The New Bedford man arrested last night on charges of double homicide killed his mother and ex-girlfriend , according to police and prosecutors .
The suspect , Gary Gomes , 35 , of New Bedford , has a lengthy record of domestic abuse , including convictions for kidnapping and attempted murder .
He was currently on probation after his latest release from criminal custody .
The victims in the case have been identified as Robyn Mendes , 48 - an ex-girlfriend of Mr. Gomes - and Catherine Gomes , 61 , the defendant 's mother .
Gregg Milliote , spokesman for the Bristol County District Attorney 's Office , said both women were <m> stabbed </m> multiple times at the Independent Street apartment in which they were found .
Ms. Gomes was the tenant at the apartment .
Following his arraignment in New Bedford District Court today , Mr. Gomes was ordered held without bail .
At the arraignment , prosecutor Aaron Strojny said Ms. Mendes was stabbed multiple times while in bed .
`` I ( heart ) you '' was written in blood on the wall and the suspect 's ID was found on a pillow , he said , and alleged the suspect later dressed Ms. Mendes and applied makeup .
Ms. Gomes ' body was found under a mattress in a different room .
She had last been seen Saturday morning , prosecutors said , and when her employer called the apartment later that day to inquire why she had not reported to work , a man who identified himself as Gary said his mother had gone away for a few days .
Mr. Gomes was found Tuesday night barricaded in a dwelling on Phillips Road in the North End where Ms. Mendes lived .
Ms. Mendes ' 12-year-old daughter was also in that dwelling at the time .
Police say Gomes had been at that location for `` a few hours '' before his arrest .
They found a knife , which they identified as the murder weapon , behind a bookshelf .
Mr. Milliote said prosecutors believe Mr. Gomes intended to kill one other person last night , although he would n't say who that person was or what evidence led prosecutors to believe that .
Mr. Gomes had been released from the Bristol County House of Correction in late 2008 after serving time on a 2006 conviction of assault with intent to murder .
Ms. Mendes was the victim in that case .
In 2005 , he was charged with assault and battery on Ms. Mendes with a dangerous weapon , according to court records , which indicate he grabbed her by the throat , threw her down , then held a knife to her throat and told her , `` You 're never going to leave me . ''
He was sentenced to 2 1/2 years , with 9 months to serve in that case .
Court records also indicate a previous arrest in which Mr. Gomes was accused of assault and battery on his sister after she accused him of stealing her guitar .
His mother was a witness to that incident .
Ms. Mendes had obtained restraining orders against Mr. Gomes in 2005 and 2006 , according to court records .
The victims ' bodies were discovered inside the Independent Street apartment Tuesday afternoon after the building 's landlord detected the odor of natural gas emanating from the second floor .
Police said that after smelling gas , the landlord , who has not been identified , sent his adult son upstairs to investigate .
The son entered the apartment and found the bodies , police said .
The gas stove was running with no flame , police said , and an electric heater had been turned on in the apartment .

<m> mark </m> in Hansbrough breaks UNC scoring record
The Tar Heels and the Purple Aces play a game , but the attention is on record-setting UNC senior Tyler Hansbrough .
Since the day he stepped foot on North Carolina 's campus , forward Tyler Hansbrough has been working to diversify his offensive resume by trying to extend his shooting range .
But it seemed appropriate that when it came time to break UNC 's three-decades-old career scoring record during the top-ranked Tar Heels ' 91-73 basketball victory over Evansville on Thursday night , the senior went back to an old staple : a workmanlike power move .
With 7:42 left in the first half at the Smith Center , Hansbrough muscled around Purple Aces forwards James Haarsma and Pieter van Tongeren to bank in a shot off the glass and score his 10th point of the game and 2,292nd point of his career .
That basket broke the <m> mark </m> of 2,290 that point guard Phil Ford set from 1974 to 1978 .
Hansbrough finished with 20 points and now has 2,302 for his career .
`` It was very fitting -- three guys on him , he was moving to the basket , kind of off-balance , he banks it in with his soft hands , '' said Gene Hansbrough , who surprised his son by attending the game .
`` It was a perfect shot for Tyler to break the record on . ''
Point guard Ty Lawson also chipped in 16 points for the Tar Heels ( 10-0 ) , though coach Roy Williams looked frustrated at times by his team 's performance , particularly after Evansville 's Shy Ely ended the first half with a dunk .
That led the coach to stomp off the court despite the fact that his team led by 18 points .
The night , however , belonged to Hansbrough , who accepted the game ball and an embrace from Ford , now an assistant coach for the NBA 's Charlotte Bobcats , immediately after setting the record .
After the game , Ford pressed his hands together and bowed to the big man at mid-court , congratulating him as fans in the sellout crowd -- some of whom held signs reading `` Phil Ford 2,290 '' on one side and `` Tyler 2,291 + '' on the other -- were on their feet for a rousing ovation .
`` It 's an honor to be compared in the same breath at Tyler , '' Ford said later .
`` When I see how hard he plays , and how he listens to Coach Williams -- as a player , that 's why I tried to do . ''
Then Hansbrough -- who followed his record-breaking bucket with a missed dunk attempt that probably will make the team blooper reel -- choked up as he watched a montage of current and former players congratulate him on the accomplishment .
`` I got a little emotional , because you may not know all those guys [ in the video ] , but you 've got a connection , because you played here and you 're part of something that I consider a family , '' he said .
Hansbrough , who also grabbed nine rebounds , had already secured his place in Tar Heels history -- and in the retired jersey portion of the Smith Center rafters , near Ford -- by earning consensus national player-of-the-year honors last season .
Breaking such a long-standing record adds to his still-blooming legend .
Ford passed the likes of Lennie Rosenbluth , Charles Scott and Larry Miller because they could play varsity basketball for only three years .
Antawn Jamison , Michael Jordan and Rashad McCants failed to pass Ford because they stayed just three seasons .
Then came Hansbrough , the sometimes awkward-looking big man from Poplar Bluff , Mo. , who opted to forgo going to the NBA after his freshman , sophomore and junior seasons in order to try to win an NCAA title .
Although he said he was a little nervous straying from the lane his rookie season , he actually scored his first Tar Heels bucket on Nov. 19 , 2005 , when he led a three-on-two fast break against Gardner-Webb that finished with his jump shot in the lane .
And he has barely slowed since , topping UNC 's chart for all-time free-throw attempts -- he passed the 1,000 mark Thursday night -- en route to his latest record .
`` I wanted it on a 3 , '' Hansbrough said of the record-setting bucket , `` but in a game , I realize you have to do what you have to do . ''
Which in his case , means playing with power and honing his improving finesse .
If he remains healthy , the combination probably will help him become the ACC 's all-time leading scorer , as well .
Former Duke star J.J. Redick holds that mark with 2,769 points .
`` I do n't put anything past Tyler .
If somebody tells me he 's going to break the NBA scoring record -- boy , that 's going to be hard -- but you never say never when it comes to Tyler , '' Gene Hansbrough said .
`` He 's got a strong will . ''
Danny Green ( 14 points ) became the 61st player in UNC history to score 1,000 points when he buried a 3-pointer in the second half .

<m> scoring mark </m> in Hansbrough broke UNC 's career scoring record the Carolina way
During the spring of 1977 , North Carolina coach Dean Smith invited his star guard Phil Ford , who had just completed his junior season , into his office .
Smith told Ford that he had done some research on where Ford would be selected in the upcoming NBA draft. Based on that information , he recommended to Ford that he leave school .
Ford did n't even have to think about it .
He told Smith right away that he was n't interested .
`` At the time , a lot of people were n't doing that , so going pro was n't something I had even considered at all , '' Ford says .
`` The financial situation was different back then as well .
At the time , my parents were teachers , so getting my degree was very important to me .
The opportunity was n't worth me not getting my degree . ''
Last April , Tyler Hansbrough faced a similar decision , but under much different circumstances .
Hansbrough plays in an era when not only is it common for undergraduates to turn pro , but in some circles a player is considered a failure if he stays past his junior year .
Needless to say , he faced a financial opportunity much greater than the one Ford confronted three decades ago .
Hansbrough spent two full weeks torturing himself over the impending decision .
When Hansbrough finally told Roy Williams he wanted to return for his senior year , he felt like the weight of the world was off his shoulders .
He was so relieved that he did n't even leave the weight room when Williams asked him to come to his office so they could craft a press release .
`` It was a stressful process , '' Hansbrough said in mid-October .
`` You 're thinking about what you 're going to do with the rest of your life .
Every time I thought about leaving , I thought about how much I 'd miss coming home , living with my teammates and doing a lot of the fun things we do .
I just felt like coming back would be the best situation for me . ''
In considering that life decision , it 's doubtful Hansbrough gave much thought to the chance he would have to become North Carolina 's alltime scoring leader if he returned .
Still , given the century 's worth of tradition that has reigned in Chapel Hill , it was no small feat that Hansbrough accomplished Thursday night , when he broke Ford 's school career <m> scoring mark </m> with less than eight minutes to play in the first half of North Carolina 's game against Evansville
North Carolina has established itself as the gold standard of college basketball , and in the soft-spoken , hard-charging , 6-foot-9 power forward from Poplar Bluff , Missouri , this proud program has a worthy standard bearer .
Ford is correct when he says that people are n't appreciative enough of Hansbrough 's skills , but there is no doubt that what sets this young man apart is the intensity with which he plays .
If Ford was a classical symphony , Hansbrough is a heavy metal rock concert , powering , jostling , banging , and always , always out-hustling his opponent en route to the basket .
It is instructive that while Hansbrough remains ninth on the ACC 's alltime scoring list , he is already the league 's career leader in free throws attempted .
If he stays healthy , he will likely leave North Carolina as the school 's alltime rebounds king .
More than anything , though , Tyler Hansbrough deserves this record because he came back to school .
This is not to disparage players like Michael Jordan , Antawn Jamison and Rashad McCants who might have had a shot at Ford 's mark had they stayed .
But at a place like North Carolina , which embodies team play , the scoring record should belong to a four-year player .
Hansbrough would probably not have been a top-five draft pick had he left , but it 's unlikely he will signifcantly improve his draft status by playing another year .
Also , at the time Hansbrough made his decision he was assuming that at least one of his fellow undergraduates , and as many as three of them , would be turning pro , diminishing the Tar Heels ' chances of winning a championship .
Hansbrough came back anyway , and for all the right reasons .
Ford also points out that because freshmen were not eligible to play varsity ball from 1954-73 , a huge swath of mega talents who suited up for UNC did n't have the chance to hold onto this record -- including the man Ford passed , Lenny Rosenbluth , who still holds the school 's record for career scoring average ( 26.9 ) and is fourth in points scored .
Hansbrough is sixth on the school 's career scoring average list at 20.2 .
Still , it takes a special individual to eclipse a record that has stood at a place like North Carolina for 30 years .
Ford remembers little about the night he passed Rosenbluth .
He believes he broke the record late in the first half , the game was not interrupted , and neither he nor Rosenbluth had much to say about it .
In fact , Rosenbluth was n't even there that night .
When I asked Ford if he still has the game ball , he said he thought he might , but he has moved so much in recent years ( he worked as an assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks before joining the Charlotte Bobcats last year ) that he thinks the ball may be packed away somewhere .
`` To be honest , I was just happy to get it over with , '' Ford says .
`` I did n't want anything distracting from the team . ''
If the circumstances were different than they were in 1978 , the central tenets of the Carolina Way have endured , from Rosenbluth to Ford to Hansbrough .
While offering his congratulations to Hansbrough , Ford is quick to add that the career scoring record is the least important mark at North Carolina .
`` We never cared who scored the ball , '' he says , `` as long as someone with the Carolina jersey got the ball in the basket . ''
Tyler Hansbrough would be the first to agree , even as he jostles and bangs his way towards history . | Yes |

Co - Worker Calls Alleged Shooter : "Very Spiritual"
Friday , Sep 10 , 2010 | Updated 8 : 52 PM EDT
"She's not a loose cannon .
She's a hard worker , works very hard .
She's very spiritual . "
Kenneth Dorsey <m> says </m> the woman accused of killing two co - workers and critically injuring a third at the Kraft plant in Northeast Philly is a good person .
And so were the two women she's accused of gunning down with a . 357 Magnum , just minutes after she'd been suspended and escorted from the building .
Dorsey's been at the plant for 37 years and worked on the third floor with the three victims and the alleged shooter , Yvonne Hiller .
"They had argued , from what I was told , they argued , " Dorsey told NBC10's Rosemary Connors after the shootings Thursday night .
"I had just started my job , you know and I heard like bang , bang , but you hear noises everyday at a bakery so you don't pay any mind . "
Then a co - worker yelled , "Come on , you got to leave now !
She's shooting . "
After the shootings , Hiller holed up in an office on the second floor where the SWAT team found her after co - workers who were hiding in the office next door tipped off building security .
"I never thought in my deepest heart that it would come down to this , " Dorsey said .
Some co - workers said she had a history of run - ins with other workers and management , Dorsey said like anyone , they sometimes had their differences , but always got along .
"We talked about her Muslim faith and I wished her happy Ramadan , " Dorsey said .
"I might be wrong , but my guess is she had some people that she had issues with and a personal agenda , a score she had to settle . "
Dorsey said the shooting was going to be hard on everyone .
"We're like family here . "
"Tell your audience to keep the families in your prayers , however you pray - - whether you're Jewish , Christian , Muslim - - we're all in shock . . .
and I lost two of my closest friends . . .
I'm gonna go home and take a shower and read the Bible and pray .
Hopefully , I can get through this .

Murder trial ordered for woman accused in Kraft plant shootings
POSTED : December 08 , 2010
Yvonne Hiller was certain she was being targeted for surreptitious "chemical abuse , " but no one believed her story .
She accused her coworkers of spraying her with deer urine , prompting her to complain to a federal safety agency .
She thought her Lawncrest neighbors were running a meth lab , and she called police to her apartment numerous times "for the smell . "
She believed that chemicals were ruining her health , and had visited several doctors and counselors since 2007 .
Despite all that , she couldn't find the source of the toxins she thought were plaguing her .
Hiller told homicide detectives that her mounting frustration finally culminated in September , when she went on a shooting rampage through the Kraft Foods plant in Northeast Philadelphia , where she had worked for 15 years .
In her <m> statement </m> , Hiller admitted killing two coworkers and seriously wounding a third .
Homicide Detective Dominic Mangoni , testifying Tuesday at Hiller's preliminary hearing , said he asked how she felt just hours after the shootings .
"I don't feel anything , " she said , according to the statement .
"I just wish people would accept me for what I was . "
After the hearing , Hiller , 43 , was ordered held on multiple counts of murder , attempted murder , and other crimes .
An arraignment was scheduled for this month .
The defense did not call any witnesses .
Hiller entered the courtroom wearing a black garment and black head scarf .
She waved and winked at a clutch of family members in the gallery .
The other side of the room was packed with family members of the victims - LaTonya Brown , 36 , and Tanya Wilson , 47 , both of whom died in the third - floor break room where they were shot .
The third victim , Bryant Dalton , 39 , spent two weeks in the hospital and is recovering from gunshots to the neck and shoulder , prosecutors said .
After the hearing , Dorothy Brown said she was "heartbroken" over the death of her granddaughter , who had four children .
"She left them children , " she said , breaking into tears .
"She was a beautiful person , too . "
Stephen Devine , a civil attorney for the Brown family , said relatives would hold a vigil Thursday at their home at 11th and Poplar Streets to mark the three - month anniversary of the shooting .
Wilson's family and Dalton also are represented by civil attorneys , but Devine said it was too soon to say if they would file a lawsuit .
At the preliminary hearing , the families "heard for the first time some answers to questions they had since the tragic events occurred , " Devine said .
Hiller worked with the three victims in the mixing department at the plant at Roosevelt Boulevard and Byberry Road .
Kraft makes Ritz crackers , Lorna Doone cookies , and other baked goods there .
On the night of the shooting , Hiller again confronted her coworkers about her belief that they were spraying her with deer scent .
"They told me they didn't know what I was talking about , " Hiller said in her statement .
"I told them , 'You think this is a prank , but you don't know what this was doing to my body . ' "
After the confrontation , Hiller was suspended from her job for the second time in two months .
The other suspension came after she left a voice mail on her supervisor's phone , complaining about being sprayed .
Hiller was escorted from the property .
She told detectives that she "planned on going right home . "
"But then I started to think about the 15 years I spent there and how it was taken away from me , " she said in her statement .
She returned with a . 357 Magnum that she legally owned and kept under the seat of her car .
She pointed the gun at two unarmed security guards and ordered them to let her back in the building .
She said she sought out the three coworkers from her shift and opened fire .
Hiller admitted firing at several other employees , but denied shooting at the first officers who responded to the scene .
But Officer Michael Murphy , from the Seventh District , testified that Hiller fired at him and two other officers from down a hallway .
The bullet , he said , went over his left shoulder and hit the wall behind him .
After shutting herself in a quality control room on the second floor , Hiller made a number of phone calls to relatives and police .
A 911 supervisor persuaded her to surrender to SWAT officers on the scene . | No |

<m> placed </m> in Saints place RB Bush on injured reserve
The injury-plagued season of New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush is over .
The Saints <m> placed </m> Bush on the injured reserve list Wednesday with a sprained left knee , meaning he will miss the team 's final two games against Detroit and Carolina .
However , given his limited effectiveness last week , the Saints decided to shut him down for the remainder of the season .
The former Southern California star finished his third season in New Orleans with just 404 yards and two touchdowns on 106 carries .
Bush suffered a left knee injury against Carolina on October 19 and missed the next four games following arthroscopic surgery .
He returned to action against Tampa Bay on October 30 and scored a touchdown the following week against Atlanta .
Bush appeared to be on the mend , but he sprained the knee in last Thursday 's 27-24 overtime loss at Chicago and was limited to only 30 yards on six carries .
On Saturday , New Orleans coach Sean Payton indicated that Bush would not return to the lineup until further undergoing a further evaluation .
However , given his limited effectiveness last week , the Saints decided to shut him down for the remainder of the season .
Bush 's absence leaves the Saints furthered shorthanded in the backfield as they are now down to Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell , who has had only six carries this season after signing with New Orleans in Week 12 .
To take Bush 's roster spot , the Saints signed cornerback Michael Lehan , who had been with the Miami Dolphins .

Pierre Thomas <m> Placed </m> on Injured Reserve
Jan 5 , 2011 β 4 : 35 PM
Pierre Thomas , the Saints' leading rusher in 2009 , was put on injured reserve , the team announced Wednesday .
Thomas has an ankle injury , and he is the second running back in two days to be placed on IR as New Orleans prepares for its wild - card round playoff game at Seattle .
The Saints placed rookie Chris Ivory on injured reserve Tuesday - - another huge blow , because he was the club's leading rusher this season .
That leaves Reggie Bush , Julius Jones and the newly - signed Joique Bell , who was added off the Eagles' practice squad when Thomas was placed on IR , to carry the load in the Saints' backfield .
The Saints do not generally run the ball much anyway - - New Orleans finished 30th in the NFL in rushing attempts this season , with 380 .
They do , however , use their running backs frequently out of the backfield in the short passing game , and Thomas' absence will hurt there .
Ivory , who had made strides with ball security , showed off his power this season , running through arm tackles and over lighter linebackers en route to 716 yards rushing .
Thomas was hurt in the Saints' game vs . Atlanta game in September and missed 10 games , including last Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers .
He had just 269 yards rushing .
New Orleans has never used Reggie Bush as a feature - type back , but as more of a third - down , all - purpose running back .
It is likely he will get 10 to 12 carries on Saturday .
The Saints are not likely to expose him to more than that , not with the depth being in such critical shape .
There was good news for New Orleans : Wide receiver Marques Colston was a full participant in practice on Wednesday .
He did not play last Sunday after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last Tuesday .
Safety Malcolm Jenkins ( knee ) , tight end Jimmy Graham ( ankle ) , defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove ( knee ) and linebacker Danny Clark ( hamstring ) did not participate in team drills Wednesday .
It is not certain what their status is for Saturday .
Tight end Jeremy Shockey ( groin ) and tight end David Thomas ( knee ) were limited in Wednesday's practice , which is encouraging because of Graham's ankle injury . | No |

Historic dairy building destroyed by <m> fire </m>
Published : 2012 . 08 . 08 09 : 01 AM
A fire on Tuesday destroyed Palmer's historic Matanuska Maid Dairy warehouse building , which was built in the 1930s when colonists arrived from the Midwest to try their hand at farming in Alaska .
Jon Owen , the city's public safety director , said a call came in from the Valley Hotel at 3 : 33 a . m . from someone who saw the vacant building across town on fire .
By the time fire crews arrived , flames could be seen coming out from under the eaves all the way around the building .
In the next minute or two , the entire roof was in flames , Owen said .
Firefighters worked quickly to contain the blaze .
More than two dozen pieces of firefighting equipment were brought to the scene , including some that were placed between the warehouse building and a petroleum distribution company next door , Owen said .
About 5 , 000 gallons of water a minute was poured on the fire .
It took about three hours to knock the fire down , but the building was destroyed , he said .
The warehouse building , one of the oldest in Palmer , had been vacant for years and was boarded up , Palmer City Clerk Janette Bower told The Associated Press .
"It is very , very sad , " Bower said .
The building was constructed in 1935 , predating statehood by more than 20 years .
"That is really old for Alaska standards , " Bower said .
The city was negotiating to purchase the property , along with at least a half - dozen others that once were part of the Matanuska Maid Dairy operation .
Voters in 2009 approved a $3 million bond to buy the properties , Bower said .
But the negotiations were ongoing .
Palmer does not own the properties , Bower said .
While the city hadn't settled on a plan for the Mat Maid properties , some ideas had been bounced around , she said , including turning the properties into a new city hall complex , or using them for a museum or theater arts building .
Bower said the colonists settled in the Palmer area under the New Deal to spur economic development during the Great Depression .
The idea was to see if there were agricultural opportunities to be had in Alaska , Bower said .
More than 200 families , mostly from Wisconsin and Minnesota , were brought to Alaska under the Matanuska Colony project .
Bower said the warehouse building was one of the first structures to be built .
The Mat Maid dairy started at that time as a dairy cooperative .
It was taken over by the state in the mid - 1980s after its private owner went bankrupt .
The money - losing operation was subsidized by the state and shut down for good in December 2007 .
It appeared for a time that the valley's tradition of dairy farming also would be lost but it was revived in 2008 under a private operation called the Matanuska Creamery , which is successfully filling a niche market for fresh milk and cheese produced entirely by Alaska farmers .

<m> mark </m> in Hansbrough breaks 30-year-old UNC scoring mark
Forward Tyler Hansbrough broke North Carolina 's all-time scoring record in Thursday 's game against Evansville .
Phil Ford 's school <m> mark </m> of 2,290 points set in 1978 held strong amongst a plethora of talented Tar Heels over the years , but Hansbrough , who came back for his senior season after being crowned the National Player of the Year , moved into the top spot with a tough leaner in the lane with two Purple Aces defenders hanging on him with 7:42 left in the first half .
The game was stopped and Ford was on hand to congratulate Hansbrough at half-court .
The Missouri native suffered through a shin injury earlier in the season that forced him to miss four games .
In the five games he played before Thursday 's action , Hansbrough averaged a team-high 22.8 points to go with 7.2 rebounds .
In 113 career games prior to Thursday , the forward has logged 20.2 points and 8.6 rebounds in just under 31 minutes an outing , while doing a lot of damage at the free throw line with nearly nine attempts per game .
Hansbrough , who has an outside shot at edging Duke great J.J. Redick for the all-time ACC scoring record ( 2,769 points ) , has succeeded in just about every statistical category , though he is still searching for the elusive fifth national title for the program , which moved to 10-0 after its 91-73 drubbing of Evansville .
Hansbrough finished the game with 20 points and nine rebounds . | No |

Brooklyn <m> riot </m> over teen's death : 16 - year - old shot by cops did not have a gun , says witness
Tishana King says she saw the whole incident from a bird's eye view in her Brooklyn apartment .
She says she's 'certain' slain Kimani ( Kiki ) Gray 'didn't having anything in his hands . '
PUBLISHED : WEDNESDAY , MARCH 13 , 2013 , 12 : 38 AM
UPDATED : WEDNESDAY , MARCH 13 , 2013 , 2 : 30 AM
A Brooklyn woman who claims she had a β bird β s - eye view β of the fatal police shooting of 16 - year - old Kimani ( Kiki ) Gray says the youth did not have a gun in his hand .
Tishana King is the only civilian eyewitness to come forward , and her account sharply differs from Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly β s assertion that Gray had pointed a . 38 - caliber revolver at the cops before they opened fire .
β I β m certain he didn β t have anything in his hands , β King told the Daily News .
Moments after the Saturday shooting , one cop put both hands on his head and said , β β Oh , God ! β β King recalled .
β His partner went over to him and put his hand on his shoulder and said , β Are you okay , buddy ? β β
King , 39 , a medical records clerk at Kings County Hospital , said she gave a tape - recorded interview to detectives several hours after the shooting .
The detectives were aware her 14 - year - old son dialed 911 from their apartment after the gunfire .
But King , in her nearly eight - minute interview with NYPD investigators at 3 a . m . on Sunday , never said a word about whether Gray was carrying a gun .
King emphatically told The News that Gray didn β t have a weapon in his hands .
But the newspaper β s review of her nearly eight - minute interview with NYPD investigators hours after the shooting shows she never mentioned whether the teen was carrying a gun .
β I couldn β t see what the kids were doing , β she said during the session .
The News reviewed the tape of the Q&A conducted in her apartment after the fatal shooting .
Detectives and Internal Affairs Bureau investigators never asked directly if King saw Gray with a gun , and a police source said NYPD policy precludes asking such leading questions .
β They β re just asked to say what happened in as much detail as they can remember , β the source said .
A police spokesman said that when King was asked what she saw by detectives , she told them she couldn't see what the boys were doing "from the angle I was at . "
But King told The News that , at first , the boys were under her window and that they moved into view when police got out of their car and approached them .
The NYPD has not released the names of the sergeant and cop who fired 11 shots .
A police source said the pair initially reported to supervisors that the teen had pulled a gun β and a loaded weapon was recovered at the scene .
King told The News she was drawn to her third - floor East Flatbush window late Saturday night by the sound of loud laughing and talking outside on E . 52nd St .
She said she watched as a burgundy - colored sedan pulled up and a man jumped out of the passenger side , followed by the driver .
King initially thought the duo intended to fight with the youths .
When the driver yelled , β Don β t move ! β it clicked that they were cops , she said .

<m> clashes </m> in Rioters in Greece attack police station , banks
Rioting youths in the Greek capital attacked a police station , stores and banks and fought running battles with police late Saturday , authorities said , as violent protests against a police killing continued for the seventh straight day .
The <m> clashes </m> broke out as candlelit vigils were being held to mark a week since the police shooting of a 15-year-old boy , which triggered the riots that are threatening the stability of the government .
The clashes broke out as candlelit vigils were being held to mark a week since the police shooting of a 15-year-old boy , which triggered the riots that are threatening the stability of the government .
Youths - some on foot , others riding motorcycles - attacked a police station with petrol bombs in central Athens as well as at least three banks , several stores and a government building , police said .
Several hundred protesters set up burning barricades and attacked police with rocks and flares. Riot police fired tear gas and chased the youths through parts of the city .
The protesters chanted `` murderers out '' and used laser pointers to target police for attack .
Violence has wracked Greece every day since the death of teenager Alexandros Grigoropoulos .
The riots in cities throughout the country has left at least 70 people injured .
Hundreds of stores have been smashed and looted , and more than 200 people have been arrested .
While most of the protesters have been peaceful , the tone of the demonstrations has been set by a violent fringe .
And more young people have been willing to join those fringe elements than in the past .
Hundreds of school children holding candles gathered peacefully Saturday outside parliament and at the site where teenager was shot .
Outside parliament , they left candles spelling out the name `` Alex '' in front of a line of riot policemen .
The young protesters promised to remain on the streets until their concerns - including opposition to increasingly unpopular government and worry over economic issues - are addressed .
`` Speaking as an anarchist , we want to create those social conditions that will generate more uprisings and to get more people out in the streets to demand their rights , '' said 32-year-old protester Paris Kyriakides .
`` In the end , the violence that we use is minimal in comparison to the violence of the system uses , like the banks , '' Kyriakides said .
Earlier Saturday , a crowd of about 1,000 people attended a peaceful sit-down demonstration in Athens and another 1,000 demonstrated in the northern city of Thessaloniki .
One 16-year-old student at the Athens demonstration , who gave only her first name , Veatriki , said young people her age felt their voices were being heard immediately when they smashed a shop window or a car .
She also said young people want to see the policemen involved in the shooting punished and the police disarmed .
The two officers involved in the boy 's shooting have been arrested .
One was charged with murder and the other as an accomplice .
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear .
Giorgos Kyrtsos , publisher of the City Press and Free Sunday newspapers , said the violent demonstrations revealed widespread public discontent .
`` We are entering a long period of economic crisis , '' Kyrtsos said .
`` But there is also a deepening social crisis , combined with a weakened state .
We are truly at a crossroads . ''
Kyrtsos , a conservative , was highly critical of the government 's handling of the protests .
`` This is the only government I remember that has managed to alienate both the rebellious youth and the law-and-order crowd , '' he said .
`` It has nothing to offer to anybody . ''
Christmas shoppers cautiously returned to central Athens earlier Saturday , but many stores had boarded up their windows instead of replacing the glass , for fear of further violence .
Athens Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis greeted shoppers with the city 's brass band .
`` People came up to me and were telling me that it was the first time they had smiled in days , '' the mayor said . | No |

Brooklyn Neighborhood Is 'A Powder Keg' After Teen <m> Killed </m> By Police
MAR . 14 , 2013 , 8 : 12 PM
Hostility has been mounting this week in East Flatbush , Brooklyn , after two plainclothes police officers fatally shot 16 - year - old Kimani Gray after he allegedly pointed a revolver at them on Saturday night .
On Monday a group of about 130 people were marching toward the 67th Police Precinct station when about two dozen young protesters splintered off β drawing riot police β and trashed a Rite Aid .
Tuesday the crowd was mostly calm , but on Wednesday β the same day Gray's autopsy showed he had been shot seven times β part of the 200 person crowd became unruly .
The night began with hope that Gray's mother would speak at a vigil alongside mothers of local shooting victims , but the night turned when about 30 young men showed up in the shadows across the street .
"They were staying in the dark area of the street , " a witness told CNN .
"You just knew it was going to turn into the cops trying to contain those kids who were obviously gonna go for it .
That just stopped the original intention of the night . "
The witness said the teenagers suddenly took off , fanning through streets and side streets , followed by the sound of glass breaking and metal store - front gates being pulled down .
Protesters began throwing bricks and bottles while cops began pepper - spraying and arresting .
By the end an officer's face and the window of a police van had been hit with bricks , and 46 people had been arrested .
The string of incidents has amplified the distrustful friction between the neighborhood's informal crews of armed teenagers and its aggressive police , whom residents say make prejudiced decisions based on race .
Kenneth J . Montgomery , an attorney for the Gray family , told the LA Times that the police "patrol these neighborhoods like they β re paramilitary . β
β [ The police ] have a hard time because there β s a lot of crime in the neighborhood , β a local barber told The New York Times .
β But when they play hardball , they end up going after innocent people , too . β
Police say that on Saturday around 11 : 30 p . m . Kimani Gray was standing outside his home with five other young men before splitting off when he noticed two plainclothes officers in an unmarked car .
After he "adjusted his waistband and continued to act in a suspicious manner , β officials say the cops got out of their car and approached Gray β who allegedly turned toward them with a loaded . 38 - caliber revolver in hand .
The 30 - year - old sergeant and 26 - year - old fired 11 shots β the autopsy showed that seven bullets entered Gray's body , three of them from the rear .
A revolver loaded with four bullets was reportedly recovered from the scene .
Police commissioner Raymond Kelly told the New York Times there was β nothing to indicate that this shooting was outside the guidelines β while John C . Cerar , the former commander for firearms training at the Police Department , said "it appears to be a good shooting β under the reported circumstances .
That statement doesn't pacify neighborhood residents , who question the official story β some in the community don't believe Gray had a gun β and perceive the officers' behavior as part of a larger trend of NYPD antagonism .
β We β re talking about a powder keg out here .
Any incident could trigger it , β City Councilman Charles Barron told the LA Times .
On Wednesday tensions "seemed to be decreasing until Mahnefah Gray , sister of the teen killed by police , was arrested while crossing the street , " according to Danny Gold of Metropolis .

<m> killing </m> in Greece calm after 8 days of riots by angry youths
Athens was calm Sunday after eight days of the worst riots Greece has seen in decades , sparked by the police <m> killing </m> of a teenager .
Traffic returned to normal in the center of town and an open-topped double-decker bus carried tourists round the city 's main sights .
The popular cafes in the Thissio area under the Acropolis were busy , and couples took their young children for a Sunday walk .
But Greek youths who have protested daily since the boy 's death have vowed to remain on the streets until their concerns are addressed .
Protesters are angry not just at the police but at an increasingly unpopular government and over economic issues .
A newspaper poll published Sunday showed the governing conservatives ' popularity at a dismal 20.6 percent , 5.6 percent below the main opposition Socialists .
However , 55 percent of respondents said neither party seemed competent to handle the situation .
The Focus poll of 1,000 people for Real News gave a 3.1 percent margin of error .
Violence has wracked Greece every day since the death of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos , spreading quickly from Athens to more than a dozen other cities and leaving at least 70 people injured .
Hundreds of stores have been smashed and looted , and more than 200 people arrested .
Late Saturday and early Sunday , youths in Athens attacked a police station , stores and banks and fought running battles with police , as candlelit vigils were held to mark a week since the shooting .
A new candlelit vigil is planned for Sunday evening at the site of the shooting .
A separate protest is scheduled in western Athens .
While most of the protesters have been peaceful , the tone of the demonstrations has been set by a violent fringe .
And more young people have been willing to join those fringe elements than in the past .
`` In the end , the violence that we use is minimal in comparison to the violence the system uses , like the banks , '' said 32-year-old protester Paris Kyriakides .
`` Speaking as an anarchist , we want to create those social conditions that will generate more uprisings and to get more people out in the streets to demand their rights . ''
In a poll released Sunday , some 62 percent of respondents said the reactions to the shooting were inexcusable , compared with 35 percent who believed the violence was justified .
The poll of 1,000 people gave no margin of error .
According to another poll , Greeks see more in the violence than a simple reaction to the shooting .
Asked whether the riots were a social uprising , 60 percent responded yes .
Some 64 percent considered police were unprepared for the violence .
The poll of 520 people published in the Kathimerini newspaper gave a 4.5 percent margin of error . | No |

Obama overturns Bush <m> endangered </m> species rule
President Obama on Tuesday overturned a last - minute Bush administration regulation that many environmentalists claim weakened the Endangered Species Act .
The regulation , issued a few weeks before George W . Bush left office , made it easier for federal agencies to skip consultations with government scientists before launching projects that could affect endangered wildlife .
By overturning the regulation , Obama said during an enthusiastic reception at the Interior Department , he had restored "the scientific process to its rightful place at the heart of the Endangered Species Act , a process undermined by past administrations . "
Under the Bush administration rule , there was no need for a federal agency to consult with the U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Services if that agency determined that no harm would come to an endangered species as a result of its project .
But the determination of what "no harm" meant rested with agency bureaucrats instead of scientists .
Obama issued a memorandum that effectively suspends the regulation while ordering a review to determine whether it promotes "the purposes of the [ Endangered Species Act ] . "
"The work of scientists and experts in my administration , including right here in the Interior Department , will be respected , " Obama said .
"For more than three decades , the Endangered Species Act has successfully protected our nation's most threatened wildlife , and we should be looking for ways to improve it , not weaken it . "
Environmental groups were quick to praise Obama's action .
"President Obama's announcement will allow [ the Endangered Species Act ] to do what it was intended : protect our nation's endangered plants and animals , " said Andrew Wetzler , director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's Endangered Species Program .
"Reversing the Bush administration's midnight action will restore protections for our last wild places and species . "
Obama also helped celebrate the 160th anniversary of the Interior Department on Tuesday .
"Throughout our history , there's been a tension between those who've sought to conserve our natural resources for the benefit of future generations and those who have sought to profit from these resources , " he told department employees .
"But I'm here to tell you this is a false choice .
With smart , sustainable policies , we can grow our economy today and preserve the environment for ourselves , our children and our grandchildren . "

Biologists Call on Obama Administration to Overturn Bush Rules That Cut Science Out of <m> Endangered </m> Species Decisions
Interior and Commerce Secretaries Must Act by May 9
WASHINGTON - April 27 -
More than 1 , 300 federal and independent scientists with biological expertise and three leading scientific societies today called on the Interior and Commerce departments to overturn rule changes made in January that weaken the scientific foundation of the Endangered Species Act .
In a letter , the scientists urged the department secretaries to rescind changes to Endangered Species Act regulations that allow federal agencies to decide for themselves if their own projects - - such as roads , dams and mines - - would threaten imperiled species .
Previously , federal agencies were required to consult with biologists at the U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service before undertaking or permitting projects .
"Many federal agencies do not have the scientific expertise to determine the consequences of federal projects on endangered species and may have vested interests in the implementation of a project , " said Stuart Pimm , Doris Duke Professor of Conservation Ecology at Duke University , who helped organize the scientists' letter .
"The new rules exclude expert scientists - - who for decades have provided impartial review and critical analysis - - from the process . "
The Ornithological Council , Society for Conservation Biology and the Wildlife Society , which collectively represent more than 20 , 000 scientists , also sent a letter today asking the Interior and Commerce secretaries to rescind the changes and make other improvements to the scientific base of the Endangered Species Act .
"As the threats we face continue to evolve , federal scientists must be able to evaluate their consequences for imperiled species .
Putting boundaries on the science that informs the Endangered Species Act fundamentally undermines the ability of science and scientists to protect our nation's biodiversity , " said Alan Thornhill , an ecologist and executive director of the Society for Conservation Biology .
"Politics plays a huge role in such decisions , " said Michael Hutchins , executive director and CEO of The Wildlife Society .
"Expert review and oversight are critical . "
The rules generated concern when they were hastily pushed through at the end of the last administration with little discussion or debate .
The Obama administration has addressed the rule change , but has not formally overturned it .
On March 3 , President Obama directed the Commerce and Interior departments to review it , stating that "we should be looking at ways to strengthen [ the Endangered Species Act ] - - not weaken it . "
President Obama also directed federal agencies to continue consulting with scientists on projects that might harm endangered species .
Congress also has taken steps to address the problem .
A provision in an omnibus spending bill signed by President Obama on March 11 allows Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke to rescind the rule changes within 60 days .
Secretary Salazar has said publicly that he is concerned about the rule changes , but has not indicated that he will act by the May 9 deadline .
On Friday , it was reported that the Interior Department sent a rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget that addresses the interagency review process but not other parts of the rules that the scientists want repealed , particularly the limits on what kinds of information can be used in determining how to protect the polar bear .
The content of the rule was not released .
The two letters also urge the administration to take a more comprehensive look at how science can better inform decision - making under the Endangered Species Act .
According to the scientists , other recent changes create unrealistic deadlines for scientific consultations and limit the types of information federal scientists can consider when evaluating federal projects .
"These changes chop down the role of science in governmental decision - making , leaving less than a stump behind .
The loss of science translates into real loss of biodiversity , " said Francesca Grifo , a biodiversity expert and director of the Union of Concerned Scientists' Scientific Integrity Program .
"The new rules weaken the scientific foundation of the Endangered Species Act and make it easier to base decisions on politics instead of science .
In giving the departments the authority to roll back these rules , Congress has given the American People a gift , and the department secretaries need to open it . " | Yes |

Ex - Mafia boss Vincent Gigante dies in prison
He was known as the 'Oddfather' for faking mental illness to beat raps
updated 12 / 19 / 2005 2 : 48 : 40 PM ET
Mob boss Vincent "The Chin" Gigante , the powerful Mafioso who avoided jail for decades by wandering the streets in a ratty bathrobe and slippers , <m> feigning </m> mental illness , died Monday in prison , officials said .
He was 77 .
Gigante , who had suffered from heart disease , died at the federal prison in Springfield , Mo . , said prison spokesman Al Quintero .
Gigante , head of the Genovese crime family , had scored a lengthy string of victories over prosecutors , but it ended with a July 1997 racketeering conviction .
After nearly a quarter - century of public craziness , he finally admitted his insanity ruse at an April 2003 federal hearing in which the man dubbed the "Oddfather" by tabloid newspapers calmly pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice .
At the height of his power , Gigante's empire stretched from Little Italy to the docks of Miami .
Denying he was a gangster , Gigante would wander the streets of the Greenwich Village neighborhood in nightclothes , muttering incoherently .
Relatives , including a brother was who a Roman Catholic priest , insisted Gigante suffered from paranoid schizophrenia , dementia and Alzheimer's disease .
Authorities charged it was a brazen act to avoid the law - although it wasn't until 1997 that a jury agreed , and it took another six years for Gigante to concede his subterfuge .
Born in the Bronx in 1928 , one of five sons of Italian immigrant parents , Gigante became a small - time boxer and drifted into the crime family founded in 1931 by legendary gangster Charles "Lucky" Luciano .
In 1957 , Gigante was the hitman in a botched attempt to assassinate then - boss Frank Costello .
After refusing to name his attacker in court , the shaken Costello retired , making Gigante's patron , Vito Genovese , kingpin of the family that still bears his name .
Over time , Gigante proved better at beating the law than John Gotti , the so - called "Teflon Don" who won two acquittals before tapes and turncoats sent him to prison for life .
Gotti died in 2002 at age 61 .
Before 1997 , Gigante had served only a five - year heroin rap in 1959 .

Vincent 'Chin' Gigante , 77 , Crime Boss
December 20 , 2005
Vincent Gigante , who died yesterday in federal prison at 77 , was the Genovese crime family boss who for three decades <m> feigned </m> lunacy to evade prosecution for crimes ranging from loan sharking to murder to bribing the entire police force of Old Tappan , N . J .
He was known as "Chin , " and his moniker was often invoked by denizens of the Mafia underworld with a hand - to - chin gesture rather than a word , the better to foil police bugs .
To the writers of headlines he was sometimes "Daffy Don" or "the Oddfather" for his habit of walking the streets of the West Village clad in a bathrobe , striped pyjamas , and slippers , while muttering incoherently .
Federal prosecutors claimed it was an act , but it was not until 2003 , after more than three decades of faking mental illness , that Gigante admitted in court that he did it to avoid prosecution .
His admission came as part of a plea deal on behalf of his son , Andrew , also convicted of mob - related activities .
For two decades , Gigante was head of the Genovese crime family , which emerged as the largest of the five New York Mafia clans after decades of concerted federal prosecutions decimated its rivals .
It was estimated that there were some 300 members of the family under his control .
The Genovese rackets included guaranteeing labor peace to firms in construction , garbage removal , and trucking ; extorting payoffs from companies doing business at the Ports of Newark and Elizabeth ; various rackets at the Fulton Fish Market and the Jacob K . Javits Convention Center ; contracts for window - installation in city housing , and the old standbys of bookmaking , loan - sharking , and narcotics .
It was narcotics that first sent Gigante to prison , in 1959 , when he received a five - year sentence after being caught conspiring to smuggle heroin from abroad .
Also sentenced in the case was the man who gave his name to the crime family , Vito Genovese .
Genovese ran his organization from behind bars while serving a 15 - year sentence .
It was a similar ruse - maintaining control of the family while incarcerated by transmitting orders through his son , Andrew - that was Gigante's downfall .
Gigante was born in the Bronx to parents who were immigrants from Naples , Italy .
His father was a jewelry engraver , and his mother was a seamstress .
Born Vincenzo , he was called "Chin" for short , and his prominent chin probably helped the name stick .
He put it to good use as a teenage boxer , winning 21 of 25 club fights .
Gigante was arrested several times from when he was 17 to 25 , for possession of an unlicensed handgun , gambling , bookmaking , grand larceny , and arson .
Two of his brothers , Mario and Ralph , were also identified as Mafia soldiers , while another , Louis , was a prominent Catholic priest as well as a Democratic politician in the Bronx .
In 1957 Gigante was charged with attempted murder in the shooting of Frank Costello , then the head of what would be called the Genovese family .
He was acquitted despite the testimony of a doorman who claimed to have witnessed the crime ; Costello himself claimed not to have seen his assailant , despite being shot at close range from the front .
The shot had only "creased his head , " according to reports at the time .
The prosecutor in the Costello case claimed that Gigante was "a young punk on the way up in the underworld who was chosen to kill Costello to win his spurs . "
If so , it seemed to have worked , despite his having missed .
Costello retired soon after , and Genovese assumed control of the family , which had a history going back to Lucky Luciano .
After serving five years on the 1959 heroin conviction , Gigante resumed his life of crime .
He first sought psychiatric help in 1966 , while under investigation for bribing New York City police .
In 1970 , he was indicted for bribing the entire five - man police force of Old Tappan , N . J . , a small town in Bergen County where he had moved .
After he produced evidence that he was under psychiatric care at St . Vincent's hospital in Westchester , the court ruled that he was mentally incompetent to testify in the case .
It was a pattern Gigante would repeat in the coming decades , including committing himself several times when prosecutions threatened .
Gigante's immediate family supported him , especially Louis , the glad - handing , cigar - smoking priest and builder of low - income housing , who told reporters his brother had paranoid schizophrenia , dementia , and Alzheimer's disease .
Federal marshals serving him with a subpoena at his mother's Sullivan Street apartment house once found him standing under the shower , fully clothed , holding an umbrella .
"Vincenzo ?
He is the boss of the toilet ! "
his mother told New York Post columnist Cindy Adams .
Gigante , meantime , was consolidating his power within the Genovese family .
In the late 1970s , he ran a crew in Lower Manhattan , operating waterfront rackets , as well as loan - sharking and gambling in New Jersey .
He emerged as head of the Genovese family by the early 1980s .
Federal prosecutors kept him under observation for decades , and Gigante kept up the crazy act with amazing consistency .
He spent much of each day walking around the Village in his bed clothes and playing cards at his Triangle Civic Improvement Association on Mulberry Street .
A sign hung on the wall warning business associates against loose talk : "This place is bugged . "
By the late 1980s , he rarely went to Old Tappan , preferring to spend his nights on the Upper East Side with his mistress , with whom he had three children .
Oddly , both his wife and his mistress were named Olympia .
Gigante's mental illness act allowed him to escape trial despite being indicted numerous times on charges ranging from bid rigging and extortion to conspiracy to commit eight murders .
His luck held until 1997 , when a New York jury found him guilty of a range of charges and sentenced him to 12 years in the federal penitentiary .
It may have been a bad omen that the judge in the case , Jack B . Weinstein , insisted that Gigante wear a suit rather than a bathrobe to his trial .
At the Palma Boys Social Club in East Harlem in 1985 , the FBI taped the following exchange between two Genovese family members , Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno and Giuseppe Sabato :
Salerno : He's got to worry if he gets pinched , all them years he spent in that [ expletive deleted ] asylum .
Sabato : That's what I'm saying .
Salerno : For nothing .

Nationals' Eight - Year <m> Offer </m> to Teixeira Reportedly Bumped as High as $184M
December 23 , 2008
For weeks now , Mark Teixeira has contemplated his next home - - a waiting game that has slowly shortened the list of teams in pursuit of his services .
But evidently , the waiting hasn't caused Teixeira's price tag to drop even the slightest .
One report posted online last night by MASN Sports' Roch Kubatko suggested that the Washington Nationals have upgraded their initial offer to Teixeira - - eight years , $160 million - - to somewhere between $178 million and $184 million over the same timeframe .
No member of the team's front office would add comment yesterday on the current offer or indicate whether the team had sweetened the deal .
By way of declining to offer the numbers of Washington's proposal to Teixeira , team president Stan Kasten said , "There are bargains , but luxury goods are still not being discounted . "
Regardless of the money , the team's front office still knows it would take a mild upset for the 28 - year - old to settle on a deal with Washington .
On Sunday night , the Los Angeles Angels withdrew their contract offer to Teixeira , believing he had no sincere interest in playing for the organization with which he ended the 2008 season .
The Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles have offers on the table , and though they have yet to make a concrete offer the New York Yankees might also contemplate a last - minute bid .
Various news reports late last week pegged the Boston offer to be as high as $184 million over eight years , though subsequent rumors suggested that the numbers are a little lower - - perhaps between $165 million and $180 million .
The Orioles have the weakest offer of the bunch - - a proposal reportedly worth between $140 million and $150 million over seven years .
So far , no team involved has offered a contract longer than eight years .
Teixeira's agent , Scott Boras , entered the free agency process hoping his client could attract a 10 - year deal .
Either way , Teixeira will end up with one of the biggest paydays in baseball history , almost certainly exceeding the $161 million ( over seven years ) that fellow free agent CC Sabathia received from the Yankees earlier this offseason .
</s>
<m> deal </m> in So as things turn out , apparently there are teams in Major League Baseball not named the New York Yankees who are willing to spend money this winter .
After letting Francisco Rodriguez leave to join the New York Mets and failing to sign CC Sabathia , the Angels find themselves with some money laying around , and they 've decided to spend it on Mark Teixeira .
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times , the Angels have made an offer to the free agent first baseman that would be the biggest contract in the history of the franchise , surpassing the $ 90 million <m> deal </m> they gave to Torii Hunter last season .
While the numbers are n't confirmed , the deal is believed to be an offer of eight years and around $ 160 million .
Owner Arte Moreno flew from his Arizona home to Las Vegas on Tuesday and met personally with Scott Boras , the agent for Teixeira .
Angels spokesman Tim Mead said he believed Moreno presented the offer to Boras at that time .
Mead also said he did not know when the offer might expire .
The Angels , of course , are one of four teams that are known to be pursuing Teixeira .
The Nationals offered him the same deal as the Angels , the Orioles have made an offer between $ 140 and $ 150 million over seven years , and nobody knows for sure what the Red Sox have offered .
I 'm pretty sure the Red Sox offer will be the only one the Angels have to compete with because even though the Nationals and Orioles are close to Teixeira 's home , neither have any realistic expectation of competing for a World Series next season , with or without Teixeira .

Fred LaRue , Nixon administration aide , <m> dies </m>
Wednesday , July 28 , 2004
Fred LaRue , a Watergate figure and high - ranking Nixon administration official who once was rumored to be Deep Throat , has died of natural causes .
He was 75 .
His body was discovered Tuesday by a maid who entered his hotel room in Biloxi , Coroner Gary Hargrove said .
LaRue was known as the "bagman" who delivered payoffs to keep participants in the Watergate break - in quiet , and served 41 / 2 months in federal prison for conspiracy to obstruct justice .
LaRue served as special assistant to John Mitchell , the former attorney general who later headed President Nixon's re - election committee .
LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne , Fla . , where the plan to break into the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched .
LaRue said he advised against the burglarization of the building , which housed Democratic Party headquarters .
After his political career ended in scandal , LaRue returned to his home state of Mississippi to work in his family's oil company and with its real estate holdings .
LaRue discounted rumors that he was Deep Throat , saying the mysterious source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the Watergate story was not one person , but probably a combination of several people .

<m> died </m> in Mark Felt , 'Deep Throat ' in Watergate reports , dies
Former FBI official had storied role in Washington Post investigation that brought down Nixon
W. Mark Felt , the former FBI official who ended one of the United States ' most intriguing political mysteries when he identified himself as `` Deep Throat '' -- the nickname for the anonymous source who helped guide The Washington Post 's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into the Watergate scandal -- has <m> died </m> .
He was 95 .
A controversial figure who was later convicted of authorizing illegal activities in pursuit of members of the radical Weather Underground , Felt died of heart failure Thursday at his home in Santa Rosa , Calif . , his grandson Rob Jones said .
Felt was deputy associate director of the FBI in 1972 when he began supplying information to Bob Woodward , who with Carl Bernstein made up The Post 's investigative duo who doggedly pursued the story of the Watergate break-in and a conspiracy that led directly to President Richard M. Nixon , who ultimately resigned .
The reporters continued to keep Felt 's name a secret , but in 2005 , at the age of 91 , Felt told Vanity Fair magazine , `` I 'm the guy they used to call Deep Throat . ''
His disclosure ended a mystery that had intrigued Washington insiders and journalists for three decades and provided the grist for many hotly debated newspaper and magazine articles .
While Felt 's name was raised as a suspect on several occasions , he always managed to deflect attention , usually by saying that if had been Deep Throat he would have done a better job of exposing the wrongdoings at the White House .
His disclosure in a Vanity Fair article by his family 's lawyer , John D. O'Connor , provoked a national debate:
Was he a hero who should be lauded for sparing the country the strain of further high crimes and misdemeanors by the Nixon White House ?
Or was he a traitor who betrayed not only his president but his oath of office by disclosing grand jury information and the contents of FBI files ?
For the most part , reaction split along political lines .
`` There 's nothing heroic about breaking faith with your people , '' said commentator Patrick J. Buchanan , a former Nixon speechwriter .
Felt `` disgraced himself and dishonored everything an FBI agent should stand for . ''
But Richard Ben-Veniste , a key lawyer in the Watergate prosecution team , said Felt 's role showed that `` the importance of whistle-blowers should n't be underestimated , particularly when there are excesses by the executive branch of government -- which in this case went all the way to the executive office . ''
Felt 's moment in history began to unfold shortly after five men in business suits were arrested at the Watergate complex in Washington on June 17 , 1972 , after breaking into the offices of the Democratic National Committee .
Nixon press secretary Ron Ziegler dismissed the incident as `` a third-rate burglary , '' but details gradually tumbled out tying the burglars to the president 's re-election campaign .
Misdeeds in the White House were uncovered , hearings were conducted in the House of Representatives and Senate , and for the first time in American history a president was forced to resign .
The relationship that defined a generation in journalism began about 1970 when Woodward was a Navy lieutenant assigned to the Pentagon as a watch officer .
In his book , `` The Secret Man : The Story of Watergate 's Deep Throat , '' published after the Vanity Fair article appeared , Woodward wrote that he met Felt when he delivered a package of documents to the White House and struck up a conversation with him in a waiting room .
From that initial meeting , Woodward cultivated a friendship that would pay off handsomely after he entered journalism .
Felt began to provide tips to Woodward when he was a cub reporter at the Montgomery County Sentinel , a suburban Maryland newspaper , and later at The Post , where he was tipped by Felt on stories about the investigation of the 1972 shooting of George C. Wallace , the Alabama governor then running for president .
When Woodward was assigned to the Watergate break-in , he again pressed Felt for help .
His request came during a crucial moment in the FBI 's history:
Felt 's mentor , the legendary founding director J. Edgar Hoover , had died the month before the break-in , and Assistant Attorney General L. Patrick Gray III had been named acting director .
Felt feared -- and his suspicions were later proven right -- that Gray was too close to the Nixon administration to conduct an uncompromised investigation .
Felt agreed to help Woodward but only on `` deep background , '' a term meaning that `` the information could be used , '' Woodward wrote , `` but no source of any kind would be identified in the newspaper . ''
Felt insisted on using covert rules he had learned while working in the FBI 's espionage section during World War II .
If Woodward needed to talk to Felt , he would move a flower pot with a red cloth flag in it to the front of his apartment balcony .
If Felt needed to talk to the reporter -- to correct something The Post had written or to convey other information -- he would circle page 20 in Woodward 's home-delivered copy of The New York Times and draw clock hands on the page to indicate the time of the meeting .
He resisted telephone contact in favor of clandestine 2 a.m. encounters at an underground parking garage in Rosslyn , Virginia .
The two met from June 19 , 1972 -- two days after the break-in -- to November 1973 , five months after Felt left the FBI .
Within the paper , only Woodward and Bernstein knew the identity of Deep Throat , a name borrowed from a notorious pornographic movie of the era .
But Felt dealt only with Woodward , and Bernstein did not meet him until 2008 .
When Nixon left office on Aug. 9 , 1974 , the two reporters shared the secret with Post Editor Benjamin C. Bradlee , who until then had only known that the source was a high Justice Department official .
Nixon , according to Woodward , had suspected Felt of being the confidential source and assumed him to be part of a Jewish cabal out to get him .
According to Vanity Fair , Felt had no religious affiliation . | No |

Iranian earthquake <m> tremor </m> hits Dubai
Sunday , November 27 - 2005 at 16 : 12
Tremors from an earthquake registering 6 . 1 on the Richter scale 60km south west of Bandar Abbas in Iran were felt in Dubai today , prompting the evacuation of high - rise buildings on the Sheikh Zayed Road and in the Dubai Media City .
Some eye witnesses reported sensing a definite tremor for one minute , although others told AME Info they had not felt anything .
UAE authorities are now said to be contacting the US Geological Survey for details of this seismic activity , which is already listed on the USGS website , www . earthquake . usgs . gov , under the section for recent activity ( see address below ) .
The website reported 65 responses from Dubai .
The earth tremor hit a triangular area between Ras Al Khaimah , Al Ain and Dubai .
This follows warnings from local UAE academics that earthquake faultlines in Iran could have serious implications for building stability in the UAE .
Seismic risk
Scientists such as Dr Azm Al - Homoud from the American University of Sharjah have been trying to educate engineers , governments and the construction industry about the risks .
Today's incident is bound to prompt a more serious interest in their work .
However , high - rise buildings in the UAE all conform to international construction standards and are designed to withstand the sort of minor tremors reported today , although buildings are always thoroughly checked after such events to ensure their integrity .
The Dubai authorities are expected to move swiftly to reassure residents that there has been no damage to persons or property .
The emirate is not believed to have had such a tremor in living memory , and clearly some people have been shaken .
Such tremors are common in many major cities of the world , but Dubai residents have not felt them before and will be looking for answers to the question of likely future seismic activity in the emirate .
But there appears no reason for alarm , as the earthquake was in Iran . | No |

<m> says </m> in Microsoft Issues Emergency Patch to Curb Password-Stealing Hackers
Microsoft today issued an emergency update to plug a critical security hole present in all versions of its Internet Explorer Web browser , a flaw that hackers have been leveraging to steal data from millions of Windows users .
The patch , which Microsoft dubbed MS08-078 , fixes a security vulnerability that Microsoft <m> says </m> already has been used to attack more than 2 million Windows users .
As Security Fix and other members of the tech community have chronicled , attackers have been busy compromising thousands of Web sites by seeding them with code that installs password-stealing software on computer systems of Web site visitors who use Internet Explorer .
Microsoft estimated Monday that one in every 500 Windows users had been exposed to sites that try to exploit the flaw .
Additionally , it said the number of victims was increasing at a rate of 50 percent daily .
Vulnerability management company nCircle said Microsoft 's decision to issue the patch outside of its normal Patch Tuesday ( second Tuesday of each month ) cycle is wise , given the current exploitation of the flaw and because instructions for exploiting the flaw are now available online .
`` Given the ongoing attacks for this bug and because the technical details have been available to the public for over a week , this is clearly a high risk client side vulnerability that everyone should patch now , '' said Andrew Storms , director of security for nCircle .
This is an urgent update .
If you use Windows , apply this patch now .
Windows users can download the fix at Windows Update , or by enabling Automatic Updates .

<m> statement </m> in Microsoft rushes to release patch to fix web browser flaw
Microsoft on Wednesday issued an urgent patch to fix an Internet Explorer ( IE ) web browser flaw that may have been used by hackers to attack millions of computer users .
The security update for IE , dubbed MS08-078 , resolves a publicly disclosed vulnerability that `` could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer , '' the software giant said in a <m> statement </m> .
The flaw could allow hackers to take control of computers and steal passwords and credit card information .
Writing in a company blog , Mike Reavey , director of the Microsoft Security Response Center , urged users to test and deploy the security update `` as quickly as possible . ''
Microsoft said the update is for IE on all currently supported versions of Windows .
Users can now download it for their home computers or laptops from Microsoft Update website .
Microsoft security experts estimated earlier that roughly 0.2 percent of IE users worldwide may have been exposed to websites containing exploits of the latest vulnerability , which means millions of users are in danger of having their computers infected .
Latest statistics from research firm Net Applications showed that IE still dominates the browser market with a share of nearly 70 percent . | No |

<m> take over </m> in Microsoft releases emergency patch for IE
Microsoft on Wednesday released an emergency patch to fix a perilous software flaw allowing hackers to hijack Internet Explorer browsers and <m> take over </m> computers .
The US software giant said security update MS08-078 addresses a vulnerability cyber-criminals can exploit to their advantage .
`` Microsoft encourages all IE customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible , '' said Microsoft security response communications head Christopher Budd .
The threat led Microsoft to mobilize security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure `` in the unprecedented time of eight days . ''
According to researchers at software security firm Trend Micro , attacks based on the vulnerability in the world 's most popular Web browser were spreading `` like wildfire '' with millions of computers already compromised .
Microsoft typically releases patches for its software on the second Tuesday of each month and rushing this fix to computer users out-of-cycle is testimony to the severe danger of the threat , according to Trend Micro .
`` People should run , not walk , to get it installed , '' said Trend Micro advanced threat researcher Paul Ferguson .
`` This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber-criminals and getting worse every day . ''
The IE software patch will be automatically applied to hundreds of millions of personal computers due to standard update settings in the machines , according to Microsoft Security Response Alliance director Mike Reavey .
Wednesday morning , business networks using IE began getting the critical fix through routine patching processes .
Reavey said Microsoft went into `` emergency response '' mode on December 9 after it first learned of the attacks on IE browsers .
A day later , Microsoft published a security advisory that `` listed workarounds that blocked all known attacks . ''
`` Over the course of the next eight days , this advisory was updated five times , adding newer workarounds and mitigations , '' Reavey said .
`` We also continually monitored the threat environment , noting when the attacks began to change in nature and scope . ''
Trend Micro has identified about 10,000 websites that have been infected with malicious software that can be surreptitiously slipped into visitors ' unprotected IE browsers to take advantage of the flaw .
A major Internet portal in Taiwan is among the legitimate websites unknowingly tainted with malicious software aimed at IE 's weak spot , according to Ferguson .
Hackers can take control of infected computers , steal data , redirect browsers to dubious websites , and use machines for devious activities such as attacks on other networks , according to security specialists .
`` What makes this so insidious is it takes advantage of a big gaping hole of IE , which has the largest install base of any browser on the market , '' Ferguson said .
IE is used on nearly three-quarters of the world 's computers , according to industry statistics from November .
Reavey said the patch consists of more than 300 distinct updates for more than half-a-dozen versions of IE in scores of languages .
Analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said it was `` amazing '' that Microsoft was able to turn out a complex critical fix in a week when such jobs typically can take a month or longer of intense work .
`` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over , '' Reavey said .
`` There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Trend Micro urges IE users to heed precautionary advice from Microsoft , or avoid using the browsers , until the patches are applied .
The `` exploit '' is similar to one used recently to steal user names , passwords and other information from people playing online games in China , according to Trend Micro .

<m> attacked </m> in Microsoft issues patch to fix IE
Microsoft has issued a security patch to fix a critical vulnerability in its Internet Explorer browser which it said has <m> attacked </m> over 2m Windows users .
The flaw is believed to have already infected as many as 10,000 websites .
The `` zero day '' exploit let criminals take over victims ' computers by steering them to infected websites .
Microsoft 's Christopher Budd said the software giant `` encourages all IE customers to test and deploy this update as soon as possible '' .
He also said the threat led Microsoft to mobilise security engineering teams worldwide to deliver a software cure `` in the unprecedented time of eight days '' .
The company 's security response team said the patch consists of more than 300 distinct updates for more than half-a-dozen versions of IE in around 50 languages .
`` Even with that , the release Emergency Response process is n't over , '' said Security Response Alliance director Mike Reavey .
`` There is additional support to customers and additional refinement of our product development efforts . ''
Microsoft stressed that the flaw was proven to exist only in IE 7 on all applicable versions of Windows , but that IE 6 and the `` beta '' release of IE 8 were `` potentially vulnerable '' .
Users who have automatic updates turned on will receive the patch over the next 24 hours while others can access it via a download .
The AZN Trojan has been making the rounds since the beginning of December but became public knowledge in the last week .
Unlike other exploits , users only have to visit a malicious site with Trojans or other malware in order to become contaminated .
Once an infected web page is opened , malicious downloaders are installed on the computer designed to record keystrokes and steal passwords , credit card details and other financial information .
The sites affected are mostly Chinese and have been serving up programmes to steal passwords for computer games which can then be sold for cash on the black market .
Internet Explorer is the world 's most widely used web browser with nearly three quarters of the market share .
Microsoft estimated that one in every 500 Windows users had been exposed to sites that tried to exploit the flaw and the number of victims was increasing at a rate of 50 % daily .
Researchers at the software security firm Trend Micro said attacks were spreading `` like wildfire '' .
`` This vulnerability is being actively exploited by cyber-criminals and getting worse every day , '' said the company 's advanced threat researcher Paul Ferguson .
Microsoft labelled the bug as `` critical , '' the most serious threat ranking in its four-step scoring programme .
The update is something of an unusual move for Microsoft and underscores the seriousness of the zero day flaw .
The company rarely issues security fixes for its software outside of its regular monthly patch updates .
Meanwhile Mozilla has released a scheduled update for its open source Firefox web browsers for at least 10 different vulnerabilities .
The bugs in the browser could have been `` used to run attacker code and install software , requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing , '' said Mozilla .
It is also reissuing calls for users to upgrade from Firefox 2.0 to Firefox 3.0 as soon as possible and said it is `` not planning any further security and stability updates for Firefox 2 '' .
This means Mozilla will no longer support the Firefox 2 browser against future online scams and attacks . | Yes |
