Bolivia's socialist president romped home to a third term in elections yesterday, dedicating his win to Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and all 'anti-capitalist leaders'. Thousands of people poured onto the streets of La Paz in celebration after Evo Morales declared victory, flocking to the presidential palace to catch a glimpse of Bolivia's first indigenous president. Exit polls showed the former coca farmer re-elected on more than 60 per cent of the vote, some 40 points ahead of his nearest rival, giving him a strong mandate to expand his left-wing policies.

Their man: An Aymara indigenous woman burns incense in celebration as supporters wait for President Morales outside the presidential palace in La Paz, after news broke that he had likely won a third term . Morales's Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) was meanwhile on track to win 111 out of 130 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 25 of the 36 seats up for grabs in the Senate, according to the exit polls. 'This is the triumph of the anti-colonialists and anti-imperialists,' boomed Morales, 54, who has aligned himself with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran and has an antagonistic relationship with the U.S. and other rich countries. 'We are going to keep growing and we are going to continue the process of economic liberation.' To roars of approval, he dedicated victory to Cuban leader Fidel Castro, late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and all 'anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist' leaders. Official results were delayed but pollsters Ipsos and Equipos Mori said Morales had triumphed a whopping 40 points ahead of wealthy cement magnate Samuel Doria Medina, his nearest rival. The win will extend his time in office to 14 years, until January 2020, after Bolivia's Supreme Court ruled last year his first term was exempt re-election limits imposed as part of a new constitution in 2009. That will make him Bolivia's longest-serving leader consecutively in office, eclipsing 19th century Marshal Andres de Santa Cruz, a founder of the republic in power from 1829-1839.

Supporters of Morales in Cochabamba, central Bolivia, take to the streets to celebrate his victory . Known abroad for his anti-imperialist and socialist rhetoric, the 55-year-old coca growers' union leader is popular at home for widely redistributing Bolivia's natural gas and mineral wealth among the masses. A boom in commodities prices increased export revenues nine-fold and under Morales' watch Bolivia accumulated record international reserves and sold bonds abroad for the first time in nearly a century. Economic growth has averaged 5 percent annually, well above the regional average, helping the government lift half a million Bolivians out of poverty since Morales took office in 2006. Political analyst Reymi Ferreira of Gabriel Rene Moreno University in Santa Cruz called Morales's landslide 'a recognition of the government's management and of the fact the opposition never presented a vision for the country.' But critics claimed he spent tens of millions in government money on his campaign, giving him an unfair advantage, while others accusing him of silencing critical media by letting government allies buy them out. Posters bearing the slogan 'With Evo, we're doing well' blanketed La Paz on election day, far out-shining the opposition's propaganda, which was conspicuously absent. Popular support: Women sell flowers next to a pro-Evo Morales mural in La Paz, the Bolivian capital . Big country: A sign in support of Morales stands next to an empty road in the high planes near Lake Titikaka . Democracy: Voters line up to vote at a polling station in the village of Laja, 36 km west of La Paz, high in the Andean plateau, over 4,000 meters above sea level. Voting is compulsory in Bolivia . Aymara indigenous people cast their vote at a polling station in Patamanta, Bolivia . Morales has capitalised on his everyman image while consolidating state control over Bolivia's institutions, nationalising key utilities and renegotiating natural gas contracts to secure more profit for the government. But his success has proved double-edged. Morales has alienated environmentalists and many former indigenous allies by promoting mining - a cornerstone of Bolivia's economic boom - and planning jungle highway that will slice through an indigenous reserve. And despite Bolivia's economic advancements, it is still South America's poorest country. Nearly one in four Bolivians live on $2 a day, according to the World Bank. The Associated Press cites analysts as saying Bolivia depends too much on natural resources and is especially susceptible to the current easing in commodities demand from China. Nevertheless, 'El Evo', as he's affectionately known, is here to stay for at least six more years. In a sign of his broad base of support Morales won eight of Bolivia's nine states, including the former opposition stronghold of Santa Cruz, an agribusiness center in the eastern lowlands where he polled 51 percent, according to Ipsos. Santa Cruz student Sonia Tika summed up the president's popularity. 'I voted for Evo because he's done good things - built roads, given us computers, food stamps. Everything the people asks for, he gives,' she said. People sit at the coca leaf market in Villa 14 de Septiembre, in the Chapare region, Bolivia . Election delegates count votes at a polling station in La Paz . Some six million people were registered to cast ballots in the presidential and congressional polls in Bolivia, where voting is compulsory. The economic and political stability Morales has presided over are welcome in Bolivia, which has suffered numerous coups since independence in 1825 and still struggles with deep poverty despite the recent boom. Morales, a member of the Aymara ethnic group, has also used nationalist, anti-capitalist rhetoric to fire up popular support. He has argued vociferously against the U.S.-led campaign targeting coca farming, which Washington brands a drug-trafficking activity because of the leaf's use in cocaine. Peru's former drug czar, Ricardo Soberon, estimates the annual revenues of Bolivia's coca farming industry at $2.3billion, equal to about 7 per cent of gross domestic product. Many Bolivians chew coca leaves or brew them as a tea, and Morales has argued it is part of the country's cultural heritage. But the U.S. considers Bolivia uncooperative in its war on drugs. In 2008, Morales kicked the US Drug Enforcement Agency out of the country, along with the American ambassador, accusing them of conspiring against his government. Last year he threw out the U.S. Agency for International Development. Summarize this article.

Passage: In 1995, Mount Rose is preparing for its annual beauty pageant. Amber Atkins (Kirsten Dunst) is an optimistic teenager who signs up to compete in the pageant so she can follow in the footsteps of her idols, Diane Sawyer, and her mother, a former contestant. Amber and her mother, Annette Atkins (Ellen Barkin), live in a small trailer near their friend Loretta (Allison Janney), in stark contrast to fellow contestant Rebecca Leeman (Denise Richards), the daughter of the richest man in town, and her mother, Gladys Leeman (Kirstie Alley), who is the head of the pageant organizing committee and also a former winner. Various business connections between the Leeman Furniture Store and the judges of the pageant cause many to speculate that the contest will be rigged or fixed. Many odd events occur around town during the run-up to the pageant, including the death of a contestant, the athletic and competitive Tammy Curry, who is killed when her tractor explodes. Amber decides to pull out of the pageant after her mother is injured in an explosion at their mobile home but reconsiders and decides to compete to follow her dreams and make her mother proud. At the dress rehearsal, fellow contestant Jenelle Betz swaps numbers with Amber. When Jenelle walks on stage at the beginning of rehearsal, a stage light falls and hits her in the head, knocking her unconscious and rendering her deaf. Luckily, Jenelle is a master of sign language so she claims that despite dropping out of the pageant, she has never been happier. At the pageant, Amber's dance costume mysteriously goes missing. Amber blames Becky and the two get into a catty fight. Amber's best friend and fellow contestant Lisa Swenson (Brittany Murphy) tears them apart. After comforting a crying Amber, Lisa drops out of the pageant in order to give her own costume to her. Amber then performs her tap-dance number to a standing ovation, while Rebecca sings a cringe-worthy rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and dances with a life-size Jesus doll on a crucifix, both amusing and horrifying the audience. Amber is named first runner up to Rebecca, however, during the victory parade the next day, Rebecca is riding in an elaborate float made in Mexico and is killed in a freak accident involving gasoline and fire that causes a huge explosion. The grief-stricken Gladys flies into a blind rage and admits to killing Tammy and to being responsible for all the attempts against Amber in the run-up to the pageant, and is immediately arrested. Rebecca's tragic death and Gladys' antics leave Amber as the new pageant winner. At the State Competition, Amber wins the Minnesota American Teen Princess title by default after all the other contestants fall ill with seafood-related food poisoning, and Amber gets an all-expenses-paid trip to the national Sarah Rose American Teen Princess Pageant. Upon arrival, Amber and the other contestants are devastated to find that the company has been shut down by the IRS for tax evasion, sending all the contestants except for Amber on a rampage, vandalizing and destroying the property. A few years later, Gladys escapes from prison and is sniping from the top of the Mount Rose supermarket, declaring revenge on Amber. During the six-hour police standoff, a television reporter doing a live report at the scene is hit by a stray bullet. Amber quickly picks up her mic and takes over, impressing the news station with her poise and confidence. The film closes with Amber as co-anchor of the evening news for Minneapolis–St. Paul television station WAZB-TV, thus living her dream of possibly becoming the next Diane Sawyer. Question: How does Amber get the pageant title? Answer:
Rebecca is killed when the float she is riding on catches fire

Question: A lumberjack is chopping down trees so he can sell firewood. Each tree he chops produces 4 logs each, and each log is then chopped into 5 pieces of firewood. If the lumberjack has chopped 500 pieces of firewood, how many trees did he chop down? Answer:
The firewood is made from 500 pieces of firewood / 5 pieces of firewood per log = <<500/5=100>>100 logs. So the logs are chopped from 100 logs / 4 logs per tree = <<100/4=25>>25 trees. The answer is 25.

Passage: The Woggle-Bug Book features the broad ethnic humor that was accepted and popular in its era, and which Baum employed in various works. The Woggle-Bug, who favors flashy clothes with bright colors (he dresses in "gorgeous reds and yellows and blues and greens" and carries a pink handkerchief), falls in love with a gaudy "Wagnerian plaid" dress that he sees on a mannequin in a department store window. Being a woggle bug, he has trouble differentiating between the dress and its wearers, wax or human. The dress is on sale for $7.93 ("GREATLY REDUCED" reads the tag). The Bug works for two days as a ditchdigger (he earns double pay since he digs with four hands) for money to buy the dress. He arrives too late, though; the dress has been sold, and makes its way through the second-hand market. The Bug pursues his love through the town, ineptly courting the women (Irish, Swedish, and African-American, plus one Chinese man) who have the dress in turn. His pursuit eventually leads to an accidental balloon flight to Africa. There, menacing Arabs want to kill the Woggle-Bug, but he convinces them that his death would bring bad luck. In the jungle he falls in with the talking animals that are the hallmark of Baum's imaginative world. In the end, the Bug makes his way back to the city, with a necktie made from the dress's loud fabric. He wisely reconciles himself to his fate: "After all, this necktie is my love – and my love is now mine forevermore! Why should I not be happy and content?" The plot exploits elements that occur in other Baum works. An accidental balloon flight took the Wizard to Oz in Baum's most famous book; hostile Arabs are a feature of John Dough and the Cherub (1906). Question: What pattern is the fabric of the dress? Answer:
Wagnerian Plaid
Editor's note: Daria Roithmayr is a law professor at the University of Southern California, Gould School of Law, where she teaches on race and law. She worked for Sen. Edward Kennedy as special counsel on the Clarence Thomas and David Souter confirmation hearings. Guy-Uriel Charles is a law professor at Duke Law School where he is the founding director of the Center on Law, Race, and Politics. Daria Roithmayr says Sotomayor would add broader life experiences to the background of Supreme Court justices. No one was surprised when the subject of race dominated the public conversation during Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings. What was surprising was how unwilling both sides of the aisle were to talk about race openly. Republicans tried to argue that race should be completely separated from judicial decision-making. For their part, Democrats tried to minimize the importance of her race to her decision-making by focusing on her record, to show that her race had played no role in her decisions. Judge Sotomayor herself suggested that life experiences are an important part of the process of judging, but then sought to minimize the difference that those experiences might have made to a particular result. Most people understand that life experiences and racial identity do affect the decision-making process. But is this something to be lamented or celebrated? We think the latter. In this, the not quite post-racial era of Obama, scholars are developing new understandings of the connection between race, life experience and decisions. Researchers such as Scott Page and James Surowiecki are telling us that varied life experiences and ethnicity can improve the result when a group makes decisions together. At the University of Michigan, Page uses mathematical models to show not only that people's backgrounds make a difference in how they think, but far more importantly, that these differences are essential for good collective decision-making. As Page acknowledges, the relationship between life experience and decision-making is an empirical question -- a question of fact to be determined based on research. In some domains -- making decisions about the scope of anti-discrimination law or deciding on a health care policy -- we likely will see that broader life experience makes for better decisions. Surowiecki, who wrote "The Wisdom of Crowds," points out that a group will more often than not come to a better decision than the average individual, so long as the group includes a range of people with different life experiences and ways of looking at and solving problems. As Surowiecki notes, if the group has enough variation in the information that they bring to the table, their thought processes and their approach to solving problems, the group is more likely to come up with the right answer before an individual, even in some instances when the individual is an expert. The Constitution itself recognizes the importance of life experiences to legal decision-making. Defendants in the criminal process are entitled to a jury of their peers precisely because jurors bring to the process a collection of life experiences that will shape their understanding of the facts and the law. All-white juries are problematic in large part because we believe that the life experiences of jurors are an integral part of their collective judgment of innocence or guilt. We also are coming to understand that race is just one of several structural factors that affect a person's life experiences and life chances, together with economic security, gender, class and geography. These days, the best thinking on race focuses less on racial symbolism and more on understanding how race affects a person's life experiences and life chances -- her access to education, health care, economic and physical security, her experience with the criminal justice system, whether she grew up wealthy or in a public housing project. Thus, we understand that the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. for disorderly conduct after he opened his jammed front door might be a signal of existing racism in law enforcement. But the better way to understand his arrest might be to acknowledge that whether one thinks this is the symbol of continued racism in law enforcement or an officer trying to do his job, in general, Gates' race affects his life chances and life experiences. As an African-American, Gates runs a much greater chance of being arrested during his lifetime than does his white counterpart. We should also acknowledge the role that class plays in life chances -- Gates was able to summon with a simple phone call one of the best criminal lawyers in the country, an opportunity not available to most African Americans. Although we have not yet figured out the meaning of race in this supposedly post-racial era, we know that race still matters, even as we know that it does not matter in the same way that it used to. Democrats and Republicans should acknowledge that having a Latina on the bench will make a difference because it will improve the court's collective decision-making. Wise men and women with different life experiences are more likely to reach a result that is better, that is wiser and that is more just. In that vein, Sotomayor's life story -- in which a Puerto Rican girl from Bronxdale Houses grows up to attend Yale Law School and become a Supreme Court justice -- is a story that should matter to us all. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Daria Roithmayr and Guy-Uriel Charles. Summarize this article.
Roithmayr, Charles: Race dominated the Senate hearing on Sotomayor . They say research shows groups of diverse people make better decisions . Having Sotomayor on court will widen life experiences of the justices, they say . Roithmayr, Charles: We should strive for diversity of class, gender, geography .

Question: Jane brings 75% as many pieces of bread as treats to feed the live pets at the zoo. Wanda brings half as many treats as Jane and three times as many pieces of bread as treats. If Wanda brings 90 pieces of bread, what is the total number of pieces of bread and treats that Wanda and Jane brought to the zoo? Answer:
Wanda brought 90 pieces of bread, three times the number of treats, so Wanda brought 90/3 = <<90/3=30>>30 treats. Wanda brought half as many treats as Jane, which means Jane brought 30*2 = <<30*2=60>>60 treats. The total number of pieces of bread Jane brought is 75% of the number of treats, which means Jane brought 0.75 * 60 = 45 pieces of bread. Wanda and Jane brought a total of 30 treats+60 treats+45 pieces of bread + 90 pieces of bread = <<30+60+45+90=225>>225 The answer is 225.

By . Jill Reilly . PUBLISHED: . 05:34 EST, 30 May 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 05:48 EST, 30 May 2012 . A mother-of two has endured feeling permanently seasick since spending a few days on a friend's boat two years ago. Claire Farrow decided to live on a house boat with her architect husband Ian Hogarth and their two children while they built their dream home in Kensington, London. But after just a few days of staying on the boat in Chelsea, Ms Farrow was left feeling dizzy, struggling to balance and vomiting up to five times a day. Queasy: After just a few days of staying on the boat in Chelsea, Claire Farrow was left feeling dizzy, struggling to balance and vomiting up to five times a day . The 44-year-old company director, said the symptoms started when a water taxi raced passed and shook the boat violently while she was asleep. She said she felt like she was rocking from side to side all day, but took some seasickness tablets and hoped the symptoms would pass. But Ms Farrow was horrified when even after moving off the boat within days she still felt seasick - with symptoms so severe she struggled to walk down the road. With constant dizziness and sickness . and finding it increasingly difficult to work, Ms Farrow went to see a . specialist who diagnosed her with the rare condition, Mal de . Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS). There is no known cure for the condition, and Ms Farrow still suffers from symptoms over two years later. She . said: 'Having spent years designing other people’s dream homes and 15 . years looking for a site, Ian and I had found a suitable piece of land . in London on which to build a house. 'We sold our flat to fund the build and with our two children moved onto a house boat, kindly lent to us by a friend.

'We moved on the Friday, and I was fine until the Monday morning when a river taxi went racing under Battersea Bridge at the same time as the tide being very high. Mal de debarquement syndrome means 'illness of disembarkation.' It is a very rare condition that is triggered by travel, such as on a boat or plane. The symptoms last long after the journey has finished. Instead of the usual symptoms of motion sickness, such as nausea, people with mal de debarquement syndrome feel as though they are rocking or bobbing, and may describe it as feeling as if they are still on the boat. Many people feel like this for a few hours after a journey, but for people with mal de debarquement syndrome, the symptoms can last for months or even years. There are currently not any known cures for the condition. Source. NHS.co.uk . 'I remember it was 6.30am and I leapt out of bed in absolute terror, the whole boat was violently rocking from side to side and I couldn’t get my bearings at all, I got off the boat as quickly as possible and went to work. 'That day I felt very unstable on my . feet, I was literally rocking from side to side. I went to the chemist . and bought myself acupressure wrist bands to ease the sickness and also . sea sickness pills, neither of which helped in any way. 'That . night I was very nervous about being back on the boat. The next morning . the same thing happened and again, I left as quickly as possible. With . the nausea and dizziness now unbearable, Ms Farrow took to the internet to . find out if there was anything she could do to ease the symptoms. Having . previously suffered from labyrinthitis, an ear condition which can . cause imbalance Ms Farrow thought she may be suffering from it again as the . symptoms she was experiencing were very similar. She contacted a labryrinthist specialist and within twenty minutes of meeting him, he diagnosed her with MdDs. Ms Farrow said: 'I was devastated, not only was there no cure, my symptoms at . this point were unbearable and by now I was throwing up regularly, he . suggested we move off the boat immediately and find somewhere else to . live. 'Luckily some friends of ours came to the rescue and let us move into a flat of theirs they had bought to renovate. 'We moved the next day, having stayed on the boat for less than a week.' 'I . went for a series of vestibular tests and it was one of the most . horrific three hours of my life as my balance and vision was put under . exceptional testing. Final creation: The family lived on the boat until their innovative mews home in central London was built . Dream home: The couple even designed a light-up dance floor in their Kensington home . 'Again I was throwing up and for someone who rarely cries, I was weeping constantly as my life with these symptoms had become unbearable, I was begging for this torture to end. 'I was prepared to do anything, if only someone could take this condition away.' But Ms Farrow was distraught to discover there was no cure for her condition and although her symptoms have eased over the years, she still faces a daily battle with the condition. Ms Farrow and her family have since moved into their dream home which featured on homebuilding show, Grand Designs last year. But she said despite living on dry land for the last two years there are still days when her symptoms are so severe she finds herself holding onto the wall to walk down the street. She added: 'I have had MdDs for two years, and on some days my symptoms are so dreadful that I feel that awful misery coming back. 'Thankfully I love walking and one of the best things to do is to walk whilst looking left and right over and over again. 'Stress makes the symptoms worse, along with headaches. On days of stress and headaches I’m rocking and rolling all over the place. 'One of the things I find hard now, apart from living permanently with MdDs, is the fact that many people see it as an amusing and trifling illness. 'What they don’t understand is it is an incredibly invasive and life changing condition, the only relief I ever experienced was when I am driving or sleeping. 'I can no longer do many things that I was easily capable of.' Summarize this article.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 15:42 EST, 27 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:16 EST, 27 June 2013 . A fat chunk of metal crashed into a Seattle family's home Sunday out of the clear blue. Sky, that is. The three-pound piece of lead smashed clear through a Seattle, Washington family's roof and left a shoe box-sized hole in their ceiling. No one was injured, but the family and authorities are scratching their heads wondering where it could have come from. Surprise! A family was shocked Sunday when this chunk of lead smashed through their roof and into their Seattle home . Though the incident happened over the weekend, the family waited until Tuesday to call the police. A responding officer inspected the hole and decided one of two things happened. Either the rectangular hunk of lead fell off an aircraft or, the officer said, 'a really big bird that had stolen a lead bar.' However, the FAA has nixed the first possibility. Damaged: The lead bar left a shoe box sized hole in the roof of their South Seattle home . 'The FAA has concluded its investigation into the metal part that was found in the South Seattle home,' FAA spokesperson Allen Kenitzer told MailOnline. 'After examining the part, investigators have concluded that this object did not come from an aircraft.' So where did the offending metal piece originate? A bird? Police said it likely came form a plane, but the Federal Aviation Administration concluded 'this object did not come from an aircraft' The only clues are two holes in the bar, as if to accomodate bolts, and an only partially readable serial number. King 5 News reports that viewers in Seattle responded to the story and many seemed to believe the bar is a wood chipper tooth. While someone is grinding wood and tree stumps, they said, it's possible for a 'tooth' to fly out along with the wood chips. Chipping in? Viewers of a local news station that ran the story wrote in with a different possibility. They said the hole was made by a grinding 'tooth' from a wood chipper . Summarize this article.
Police guessed it came from a plane overhead . FAA officials say its definitely not from an aircraft .

Fulham finally got their season back on track following the departure of madcap manager Felix Magath with a win against Doncaster Rovers. Kit Symons has taken temporary charge and in his second game got the vital win they needed to halt a slump of three defeats in a row. Bryan Ruiz and Dan Burn put them comfortably ahead before half-time, enough to mean James Coppinger's second-half strike meant nothing, although the visitors had a golden opportunity to level proceedings from the penalty spot late on- only for Theo Robinson to have his spot-kick saved by Marcus Bettinelli.

It's long been thought our moon formed after Earth was hit by a planet the size of Mars billions of years ago - but the time of formation has been fiercely debated. Some scientists believe it occurred approximately 30 million years after the formation of the solar system, while others claim it happened up to 100 million years later. Using measurements from the interior of Earth coupled with computer simulations, an international team of planetary scientists claim it was the latter - and have discovered what it is calling a ‘geological clock.’ Using measurements from the interior of Earth, coupled with computer simulations, an international team of planetary scientists earlier this year claimed the moon, pictured, formed 95 million years after the formation of the solar system, 4.6 billion years ago - plus or minus 32 to 39 million years . Many researchers believe the moon formed after Earth was hit by a planet the size of Mars billions of years ago. This is called the giant impact hypothesis. The hypothesis claims the moon is debris left over following an indirect collision between our planet and an astronomical body approximately 4.5 Gya. The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, after the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon. The researchers from France, Germany and the U.S carried out 259 computer simulations of the growth of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. During this analysis, the scientists discovered a link between when the Earth was hit, and the amount of material added to Earth after the impact. This relationship works much like a clock to date the moon-forming event and is said to be the first ‘geologic clock’ in early solar system history that does not rely on measurements and interpretations of the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei to determine age. ‘We were excited to find a 'clock' for the formation time of the Moon that didn't rely on radiometric dating methods,’ said lead author Seth Jacobson of the Observatory de la Cote d'Azur in Nice, France. ‘This correlation just jumped out of the simulations and held in each set of old simulations we looked at.’ The amount of mass that was released by Earth after the moon was formed was taken from previous studies. The solar system is thought to have formed 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of part of a molecular cloud. The majority of the collapsing mass formed in in the centre, which became the Sun, while the rest flattened into a disk, artist's impression pictured, out of which the planets and moons formed .

These reports previously demonstrated that the abundance in the Earth's mantle of highly siderophile elements - atomic elements that are chemically associated with iron - is directly proportional to the mass released after Earth’s impact. From these geochemical measurements, the newly established clock dates the moon to approximately 95 million years after the beginning of the solar system - with an uncertainty of between 32 and 39 million years. The solar system is believed to have formed around 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of part of a molecular cloud. The majority of the collapsing mass formed in the centre, which became the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk, out of which the planets and moons formed. ‘This result is exciting because in the same simulations that can successfully form Mars in only 2 to 5 million years, we can also form the moon at 100 million years,’ added author Dr. Kevin Walsh from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) Space Science and Engineering Division. ‘These vastly different timescales have been very hard to capture in simulations.’ The findings are reported in the journal Nature.

(CNN) -- America's longest war is expected to conclude by the end of next year, when the United States plans to withdraw all its combat troops from Afghanistan. But many challenges remain. Insurgents are still a "resilient and determined" threat, according to a Pentagon report released this week. Afghan security forces must be fully trained to take over for U.S. troops. And the two countries have to come to an agreement over what kind of troop presence the U.S. will have in 2014. "How this war winds down is very important to Afghanistan, to the United States and so many other countries," said CNN's Erin Burnett, who has been in Afghanistan this week talking to U.S. officials, troops and Afghan civilians. "People paid for this with their lives. People have died, people have spent a decade of their lives fighting this war away from home. And of course, the U.S. has spent about $650 billion on the war alone." Read more: Taliban claim bombing killing American, Afghans . Burnett talked to CNN.com on Thursday about her trip and what she's been hearing from various people about the transition and their hopes for Afghanistan's future. Here is an edited version of the conversation: . CNN.com: You talked with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday. What's he saying about the war effort? Has the U.S. accomplished its mission? Erin Burnett: Panetta points out the success in bringing down key members of core al Qaeda, and he believes he has made real progress on fighting al Qaeda and terrorism in Afghanistan. But he acknowledges that insurgents are still a problem, and he acknowledges that al Qaeda and terrorists have now spread and they're in other places. He specifically mentioned to me Yemen, Somalia and Mali. And he still thinks that al Qaeda is the single biggest threat to the American homeland. CNN.com: What does that mean for U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the 2014 drawdown? Burnett: Both Panetta and (Army Maj. Gen. Robert) Abrams, the regional commander in Kandahar, are very wary of discussing troop count. ... Some of it's going to come down to the treatment of U.S. troops' indemnity, which Panetta told me he's sure won't be a problem but the deputy foreign minister here in Afghanistan said was a serious issue that is on the table. We're a long way away from having the details set in an agreement that the United States would actually sign. I got the sense that the overall agreement is something that's going to take a significant amount of time. CNN.com: Are Afghan forces going to be prepared by 2014? Burnett: In Kabul, traffic is a really huge problem, and they now have Afghan National Police doing the traffic control. Traffic control is something we in America take for granted, but you can see there's still a long way to go for them in terms of learning basic protocols. And that kind of fits in with the recent Pentagon report that said only one in 23 brigades of the Afghan National Security Forces are actually ready to do their job from A to Z -- from dealing with things like electricity to (medical evacuations), whatever it is to operate a war. The deputy foreign minister I talked to said, "Look that's not really fair, we're trying to train brigades on one thing at a time." But you had issues like that. I talked to a U.S. sergeant in Kandahar who works at a forward operating base and his job has now become training Afghans. I asked him what his relationship was with them. And he said he had to trust them completely and they were like his brothers. This is a guy who's served four tours, missed three Christmases, put a lot of time in. And he really was loyal to them. When I asked him explicitly, saying, "A lot of the coverage is pretty negative on how this training's coming, what have you seen?" he was very positive and he gave some examples on the communication they have with each other and their units and what significant progress he feels they have made. He really felt a sense of accomplishment and achievement, and you have to hope that his version of things ends up being the real version. Read more: Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan was smart, in superb shape . CNN.com: What's the general feeling among the Afghan people? Are they glad the U.S. is making plans to leave? Burnett: I'm hearing two totally different stories. Some people we've spoken to here sort of take it for granted that there's going to be a civil war when the United States leaves. It happened before when the Soviet Union left. One female member of parliament I talked to, she wasn't totally in that camp, but she was extremely afraid of it, saying: "I hope that it won't and I have to have confidence that we're going to be able to overcome it. But yes, I have that fear." And then there are others who really try to be more optimistic. We were at a bazaar today, and we asked a whole bunch of people whether they thought it was a good thing that the United States was leaving. Many said they were glad, and they basically said we're glad because it's time we take this on ourselves. There was a real sense of pride that they could do it. These weren't people in the military. These were regular people on the street. CNN.com: What else has stood out to you during your trip? Burnett: During the Taliban, basically there were thousands of girls going to school in Afghanistan. Now you have millions of girls going to school. So there's been real progress on women's rights. Obviously, there remain a lot of problems -- honor killings, forced marriages, domestic violence -- but there has been real progress. There are women's rights activists who are really afraid that when the U.S. leaves, a lot of the progress will be rolled back. The female member of parliament I talked to, she is worried but hopeful. She has two daughters, 13 and 14. They really want to stay in their country, and they say, in their own experience, that there's been such a change in what girls can do. One of them wants to be president. One of them wants to be a space engineer. It was a pretty cool and inspiring thing to see, but it sort of brought home the risks and what's at stake here. ... This was the most meaningful to me: the hopes that they have and the fact that they want to stay in their country and they want to fight for its future. If you have that going for you, then I think that's probably the best sign of hope that there is. Read more: U.S. citizen rescued from the Taliban in Afghanistan . Watch Erin Burnett weekdays 7pm ET.

Schools in some parts of the country are having to raid their own budgets to pay for Nick Clegg’s plan to give four to seven-year-old pupils free meals. Freedom of Information figures suggest nearly a third of councils cannot afford to provide free school lunches for infants from September. In some areas, schools themselves could have to pay towards the expensive kitchen and dining room upgrades needed to deliver the policy. Schools are having to raid their own budgets to pay for kitchen and dining room upgrades to provide free school meals for children after Nick Clegg made a pledge at last year's Liberal Democrat Conference . In Somerset, primaries with more than 150 pupils are being asked to contribute a total of £250,000 – 25 per cent of the cost of improving kitchens. And Lambeth council in London said schools will be funding £150,000 worth of upgrades. Overall, across 29 councils, there is a funding shortfall of at least £23million. The figures will add to controversy surrounding the policy, which was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister at last year’s Liberal Democrat party conference. Tory sources said the £600million plan was drawn up ‘on the back of a fag packet’ as part of a coalition deal, which saw the Lib Dems agree not to oppose similarly expensive tax breaks for married couples. But many primary school heads warned at the time that they did not have the space or kitchen facilities to provide for an extra 1.5million children. Sources claim that Mr Clegg failed to take into account the cost of improving school kitchens to meet the demand, forcing the Government to offer more money for upgrades. The Department for Education is refusing to release warning emails, understood to have been sent by the Treasury to officials and ministers, pointing out potential problems with the funding of the scheme. Mr Clegg has insisted that the plan is fully funded, but Freedom of Information requests have revealed a gap of £23million as Tory's accuse Clegg of drawing the idea up 'on the back of a fag packet' Mr Clegg insisted last month that the plan was ‘fully funded’. But Labour’s shadow schools minister Kevin Brennan said it was increasingly clear the policy was ‘a complete shambles’, adding: ‘David Cameron urgently needs to explain to parents why some schools will be forced to fund this commitment out of their own budgets, how this will affect standards at those schools and which children will be missing out in September.’ Responses to Freedom of Information requests by Mr Brennan reveal that almost a third of councils have not been given enough money by the Government to fund the programme from September. Of the 43 councils that said it was not enough, 29 provided details of their estimated shortfalls – a total of £23,036,824. Kent County Council has a shortfall of around £4.3million, while Enfield and Hampshire councils both have shortfalls of at least £3million. Initially, Mr Clegg promised that all free lunches would be a hot meal. But this was downgraded to an aspiration rather than a commitment once problems with kitchens were raised. Last week, it emerged that more than 3,000 schools will buy in pre-prepared meals and either keep them warm or reheat them in mini-kitchens. Dozens of others will offer only cold lunches, in some cases at pupils’ desks. Summarize this article.

Question: Gargamel needed new tires for his truck. He went to the auto shop and bought 4 tires on sale for $75 each. The salesman told him that he saved a total of $36. If Gargamel saved the same amount on each tire, what was the original price of each tire? Answer:
Gargamel saved $36 for all four tires, so to find the savings per tire was $36 / 4 = $<<36/4=9>>9 saved per tire. Adding the savings to the discount price, the original price was $75 + $9 = $<<75+9=84>>84 The answer is 84.

Shocking footage has emerged of a truck's back trailer rolling over on its side on a motorway. The footage shows a vehicle driving along Sydney's M4 motorway on Thursday morning before capturing the terrifying moment of the single-truck crash on a dashboard camera. Driving under wet conditions, the truck’s dog trailer can be seen losing control as it wobbles from left to right – lifting one side up in the air before it landed back down but ends up flipping over. Scroll down for video . Shocking footage has emerged of a truck's back trailer rolling over on its side on a Sydney motorway . Within seconds, the trailer ends up scrapping on its’ side along the freeway but luckily the surrounding vehicles managed to avoid any collision with the truck. The driver with the dashcam, believed to be Mat Wake, can be heard stepping on his brake, as he slowly drives towards the incident while smoke and dust started appearing from the trailer. When the trailer stopped sliding across the road, other motorists are seen driving around the truck but they continue off in their journey. It is unclear what happened after the incident but one motorist posted a photograph of the accident scene on the video, showing a tow truck, road officials and police officers surrounding the empty trailer. The video was posted onto Dash Cam Owners Australia on Thursday morning. A caption along the video explained: 'A Dog trailer of a truck develops a tank slapper ans [sic] flips on Sydney's M4 motorway. Luckily Police were just down the road and started reversing up as it happened.' Since it was last uploaded, the video has received more than 55,000 views and a significant amount of comments about the incident. Sharyn Harrison wrote: ‘Hate the way the car beside just keeps driving, moron should have been the first to stop.’ Driving under wet conditions, the truck’s dog trailer is seen losing control as it wobbles from left to right . Within seconds, the truck flipped one side in the air before it landed again but immediately rolls over . Matt Chaplin wrote: ‘So lucky he didn't take anyone else out. Could have been catastrophic!’ Damean Frost said: ‘First thing my 6 year old asked why isnt anybody stopping to help..’ Dave Cowan posted: ‘Nice Work , How About Stopping and at Least Seeing if the Driver Was Alright, Were You Late for a Hair Appointment !’ But the driver who caught it all on camera, Mat Wake has defended why he didn’t stopped, saying ‘To all commenting about me not stopping… There were already 2cars [sic] pulled up behind him and a cop 100m away reversing to the situation.’ Summarize this article.

A 63-year-old woman has been left brain damaged after undergoing routine surgery to remove a small tumour on her adrenal glands . A 63-year-old woman has been left brain damaged after undergoing routine surgery to remove a small tumour. Michelle Peters from the Northern Territory went in for an operation last month to remove a tumour on her adrenal gland when a surgical mishap saw carbon dioxide being pumped through the her liver and into her bloodstream. The incident forced doctors to place Mrs Peters in an induced coma for two days, spending the next five days in intensive care at the Royal Darwin Hospital. 'You put a lot of trust in them and you think they’re going to do the right thing and when they don’t you do feel betrayed,' Mrs Peters told the NT News. Mrs Peters has been left with memory loss and hindered motor skills. 'It's about the worst thing that could happen to you at this stage in life,' she said. 'They're going to take my licence away from me and I won't be able to go back to work because I'm a chef,' she said. 'I want to go back to work ... I loved my job.' Mrs Peters also fears how she will get by in life without 'any income coming in'. Four-years ago the 63-year-old widow was given a chance at new life, marrying subcontractor Garry Peters. Mr Peters has been left devastated and uncertain with what the future holds. 'She’s just not same... They can’t tell us how long it’s going to take to get better or if it is going to get better,' he said. Now a full-time carer to his wife, Mr Peters has had to turn down jobs to look after his brain damaged wife. The incident forced doctors to place Mrs Peters in an induced coma for two days, spending the next five days in intensive care at the Royal Darwin Hospital . Mrs Peters has been left with memory loss and hindered motor skills . 'I had to turn down a really good opportunity ... it would have been a big break for us, I’ve lost a lot of money.' The incident has forced the couple to have to rely on Centrelink. 'I’ve had to apply for a disability pension for Michelle and a carer’s pension for me,' Mr Peters said. Sharon Sykes, the acting chief operating officer of Top End Health Service, said senior management at the hospital were 'aware of this case'. 'The Division of Surgery has been in discussion with the family and is sensitive to the distress they are experiencing,' Ms Sykes said. 'Royal Darwin Hospital is a fully accredited facility that practices under the national standards. Should an adverse event occur within any of our hospitals we observe national incident management processes which include undertaking a full investigation; observing National Open Disclosure processes by discussing the event openly with patients, families and carers; and ensuring any remedial systems improvements and leanings are implemented as part of our safety and quality focus.' Despite everything, Mrs Peters still has the small tumour on her adrenal gland. The hospital has offered to fly her to any hospital in Australia to have the operation. 'I won’t have the operation here after everything, would you?' Sharon Sykes, the acting chief operating officer of Top End Health Service, said senior management at the hospital were 'aware of this case' Summarize this article.

Question: Keenan needs to write an essay that is 1200 words. Her essay is due at midnight. She writes 400 words per hour for the first two hours. After that, she writes 200 words per hour. How many hours before the deadline does she need to start to finish on time? Answer:
In the first two hours, Keenan writes 800 words because 400*2=<<400*2=800>>800. After that, she still needs to write 400 words because 1200-800=<<1200-800=400>>400. Since she writes 200 words per hour, she will take 2 hours to write the last 400 words because 400/200=<<400/200=2>>2. Thus, she needs to start 4 hours before the deadline because 2+2=<<4=4>>4. The answer is 4.
Question: 40 less than 10 times Diaz's age is 20 more than 10 times Sierra's age. If Sierra is currently 30 years old, how old will Diaz be 20 years from now? Answer:
If Sierra is currently 30 years old, 10 times her age is 30*10 = <<30*10=300>>300. Twenty more than 10 times Sierra's age is 300+20 = 320 320 is 40 less than ten times Diaz's age so 10 times Diaz's age is 320+40 = 360 If ten times Diaz's age is 360, Diaz is 360/10 = <<360/10=36>>36 years old. Twenty years from now, Diaz will be 20+36 = <<20+36=56>>56 years old. The answer is 56.
Question: There were 250 balloons in one package. Dante evenly shared the balloons among his 5 friends. Dante changed his mind and asked each of his friends to give him 11 balloons. How many balloons does each friend have now? Answer:
Balloons divided among 5 friends = 250/5 = <<250/5=50>>50 balloons per friend Dante took back 11 balloons: 50 - 11 = <<50-11=39>>39 balloons Each friend now has 39 balloons. The answer is 39.
Question: Stella’s antique shop has 3 dolls, 2 clocks and 5 glasses for sale. She sells the dolls for $5 each. The clocks are priced at $15 each. The glasses are priced at $4 each. If she spent $40 to buy everything and she sells all of her merchandise, how much profit will she make? Answer:
The dolls will sell for 3 * $5 = $<<3*5=15>>15. The clocks will bring in 2 * $15 = $<<2*15=30>>30. The glasses will sell for 5 * $4 = $<<5*4=20>>20. In total, she will bring in $15 + $30 + $20 = $<<15+30+20=65>>65 Her total profit will be $65 - $40 = $<<65-40=25>>25. The answer is 25.
Question: John buys 1/2 gallon jugs of cold brew coffee every 4 days. How many cups of coffee does he drink a day? Answer:
He drinks 128/2 = <<128/2=64>>64 ounces of coffee every 4 days That means he drinks 64/4 = <<64/4=16>>16 ounces of coffee a day So he drinks 16/8 = <<16/8=2>>2 cups a day The answer is 2.
Question: Danai is decorating her house for Halloween. She puts 12 plastic skulls all around the house. She has 4 broomsticks, 1 for each side of the front and back doors to the house. She puts up 12 spiderwebs around various areas of the house. Danai puts twice as many pumpkins around the house as she put spiderwebs. She also places a large cauldron on the dining room table. If Danai has the budget left to buy 20 more decorations and has 10 left to put up, how many decorations will she put up in all? Answer:
Danai places 12 skulls + 4 broomsticks + 12 spiderwebs + 1 cauldron = <<12+4+12+1=29>>29 decorations. She also puts up twice as many pumpkins around the house as she put spiderwebs, 12 x 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 pumpkins. Danai will also add 20 + 10 decorations to the 29 + 24 decorations already up = 83 total decorations Danai will put up. The answer is 83.

Question: John had $200. He gave 3/8 of his money to his mother and 3/10 to his father. How much money did John have left? Answer:
John's mother received 3/8 x $200 = $<<3/8*200=75>>75. His father got 3/10 x $200 = $<<3/10*200=60>>60. Thus, John gave a total of $75 + $60 = $<<75+60=135>>135. Therefore, John had $200 - $135 = $<<200-135=65>>65 left. The answer is 65.

Passage: Recently widowed housewife Evelyn (Judi Dench) must sell her home to cover huge debts left by her late husband. Graham (Tom Wilkinson), a high-court judge who had spent his first eighteen years in India, abruptly decides to retire and return there. Jean (Penelope Wilton) and Douglas (Bill Nighy) seek a retirement they can afford, having lost most of their savings through investing in their daughter's internet business. Muriel (Maggie Smith), a retired housekeeper prejudiced against Indians, needs a hip replacement operation which can be done far more quickly and inexpensively in India. Madge (Celia Imrie) is hunting for another husband, and Norman (Ronald Pickup), an aging Lothario, is trying to recapture his youth. They each decide on a retirement hotel in India, based on pictures on its website. When the group arrives at the picturesque hotel, they find an energetic young manager Sonny (Dev Patel) but a dilapidated facility, not yet what he had promised. Overwhelmed by the cultural changes, Jean often stays inside at the hotel, while her husband Douglas explores the sights. Graham finds that the area has greatly changed since his youth and disappears on long outings every day. Muriel, despite her xenophobia, starts to appreciate her doctor for his skill and the hotel maid for her good service. Evelyn gets a job advising the staff of a call centre on how to interact with older British customers. Sonny struggles to raise funds to renovate the hotel and sees his girlfriend Sunaina (Tena Desae), despite his mother's disapproval. Madge joins the Viceroy Club seeking a spouse, where she is surprised to find Norman. She introduces him to Carol (Diana Hardcastle). He admits he is lonely and seeking a companion, and the two begin an affair. Graham confides in Evelyn that he is trying to find the Indian lover he was forced to abandon as a youth. Social-climber Jean is attracted to Graham, and makes a rare excursion to follow him, but is humiliated when he explains he is gay. Graham reunites with his former lover, who is in an arranged marriage of mutual trust and respect. Reconciled, the Englishman dies of an existing heart condition. Evelyn and Douglas grow increasingly close, angering his wife, which results in an outburst from Douglas denouncing this marriage. Muriel reveals that she was once housekeeper to a family who had her train her younger replacement and now, having been forced out of the home and into retirement, she feels that she has lost any purpose in her life. Sonny's more successful brothers each own a third of the hotel and plan to demolish it. His mother (Lillete Dubey) agrees and wants him to return to Delhi for an arranged marriage. Jean and Douglas prepare to return to England after money is found through their daughter's company. Jean eagerly awaits returning to England, but Douglas is more hesitant. Now that the hotel is closing against Sonny's wishes and pleas, Madge prepares to return to England, and Norman agrees to move in with Carol. Madge, after encouragement from Carol and Muriel, decides to keep searching for another husband. Sonny, encouraged by Evelyn, finally tells Sunaina that he loves her. He confronts his mother, who first forbids the match but then is persuaded by Young Wasim, who speaks no English. He explains that he once knew another man who wanted to marry a smart beautiful woman against his family's wishes. Sonny's mother interprets for Young Wasim, realizing he is talking about her, and she finally gives the couple her blessing. She asks Sunaina to take good care of her "favourite son". Before the remaining guests can leave, Muriel reveals that her experience running the family's household gave her the knowledge how to balance a budget and that the hotel can make a profit. She approaches Sonny's investor privately and then invites him to visit the hotel to discuss matters with Sonny. The investor agrees to fund Sonny's plans for renovation so long as Muriel stays on as an assistant manager. All the guests agree to stay — except Jean and Douglas. Due to their daughter's long-awaited success, they decide to return home but on the way to the airport, their taxi gets caught in a traffic jam. A rickshaw driver says that he can take only one of them. Jean sees it as a sign that it is time to split with Douglas; she bids him farewell and departs. He winds up at another hotel, discovering that it's nothing more than a brothel and drug den, and spends the rest of the night wandering the streets. He returns to the hotel just as Evelyn is leaving for work, and asks when she'll be back. A closing montage with a voiceover shows Muriel checking in customers in an elegant renovated lobby, Madge dining with a handsome older Indian man, and Norman and Carol living happily together. Sonny and Sunaina are shown riding a motorbike and passing Douglas and Evelyn on another bike. Question: What do Sonny's brothers plan on doing to the hotel? Answer:
Tearing it down.
When Real Madrid romped to a 4-0 win against Bulgarian minnows Ludogorets on Tuesday, they became the first side to have won each of their Champions League group stage matches twice. Los Blancos first achieved the impressive feat back in the 2011-12 season when they beat Lyon, Ajax and Dynamo Zagreb across six fixtures. AC Milan, Barcelona, CSKA Moscow and Paris Saint-Germain have also managed to emerge victorious in every one of their group games in the past, although none of these sides have gone on to lift the trophy. Cristiano Ronaldo scores from the penalty spot during Real Madrid's 4-0 win against Ludogorets . Gareth Bale (second from left) goes to congratulate Ronaldo as Real sealed their 19th consecutive win . Ronaldo and Real are looking to become the first side to lift the trophy after winning all of their group games . AC Milan (1992-93) Lost 1-0 to Marseille in the final . Paris Saint-Germain (1994-95) Knocked out by AC Milan in the semi-finals . Spartak Moscow (1995-96) Lost to Nantes at the quarter-final stage . Barcelona (2002-03) Dumped out by Juventus in the last eight . Real Madrid (2011-12) Beaten by Bayern Munich on penalties in the semi-finals . Having won 19 successive games in all competitions, Real are one of the favourites to triumph in this season's Champions League, along with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. But the La Liga leaders will need to break a curse which stretches back to the 1992-93 season, when Milan lost 1-0 to Marseille in the final after cruising through a group which also included Porto, PSV and Gothenburg. The same thing happened to PSG two years later when, after gaining maximum points from group fixtures against Bayern, Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Kiev, the French outfit lost to Milan at the semi-final stage. The following season Spartak Moscow eased through a group containing Legia Warsaw, Rosenborg and Blackburn Rovers before crashing out to Nantes in the last eight. Marseille's players celebrate with the Champions League trophy in 1993 after beating AC Milan 1-0 in Munich . AC Milan stars applaud the home fans at the San Siro after beating PSG in the 1995-96 semi-finals . Barcelona appeared to be on course to lift the trophy in 2003 after outclassing Lokomotiv Moscow, Galatasaray and Club Brugge, only for Juventus to dump them out in the quarter-finals. And Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid side became the fifth team to succumb to the curse when, after reaching the semi-finals, they lost to Bayern on penalties at the Bernabeu in April 2012. The current Madrid side face a two-legged last 16 clash with either Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal, Manchester City, PSG, Schalke or Shakhtar Donetsk in February and March next year. Time will tell if one of those teams are able to defeat Ancelotti's in-form side and claim another victim for the curse of group domination.

Bayern Munich's players run to celebrate their penalty shootout win against Real Madrid in April 2012 . Summarize this article.

The first five runners took a combined total of 5*8 = <<5*8=40>>40 hours to finish the race. The number of runners who finished the race 2 hours later after the first five is 8-5 = <<8-5=3>>3 The 3 runners who finished the race 2 hours later took a total of 8+2 =<<8+2=10>>10 hours to run the race. Together, the three runners who finished the race in 10 hours took a total of 10*3 = <<10*3=30>>30 hours. All eight runners took 30+40 = 70 hours altogether to finish the race. The answer is 70.

Following on from Dante and Jerome Boateng's attempts to look good in front of the cameras last week, Cristiano Ronaldo also ensured he was the man to look out for in Cardiff on Tuesday night. As well as a superb solo performance on the night, scoring twice as Madrid eased to a 2-0 win in the UEFA Super Cup final over Sevilla, the 29-year-old made sure he stood out prior to the game too.

While other residents of Moore, Oklahoma, were hiding in closets or clinging to walls to survive Monday's deadly tornado, one brave mother was giving birth. Shayla Taylor, 25, was in the middle of labor on the upper floor of Moore Medical Center delivering her second child when the monstrous storm directly hit the tiny local hospital, ripping away the roof and walls.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- It doesn't have the brutality of rugby or the physical intimidation of a boxing match, yet sailing is still one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Capsized: This French catamaran flipped near New Zealand while attempting to win the Jules Verne Trophy. This danger is never more evident than in the epic Volvo Ocean Race. The round-the-world event which begins this month in Alicante, Spain, always throws up its fair share of drama as the crews face all types of conditions right through to the race finish around July 2009. To give an idea of the extreme dangers this year's crews will face over the coming nine months, here is a look at some of the worst tragedies to strike yacht racing. There's no question about it: this is no sport for the faint-hearted. September 2008 Régates Royales-Trophée Panerai Death toll: One . Wilfrid Tolhurst was killed during the famous Régates Royales-Trophée Panerai yacht race off Cannes that sees the major classic yachts in the Mediterranean gather. Skippering the eight-meter yacht, Safir, in the coastal race, Tolhurst was struck by the boat's falling mast that broke off under the impact of a collision with another boat, Rowdy. Although rescue crews reacted quickly to bring the skipper ashore, nothing could be done to save his life. A police inquiry is currently in progress to determine the cause of the incident. September 2008 Sean Whiston Perpetual Cup Race Death toll: One . Kenneth Jones (46) lost his life while sailing in a race from Wicklow to the Poolbeg Yacht Club in Dublin, Ireland. It was not clear what caused the incident, however, a mayday was issued by the yacht Allanah, stating that there was 'a man in the water.' Jones was lifted from the water and transferred to Tallaght Hospital where he later died. May 2006 Volvo Ocean Race Death toll: One . During the seventh leg of the race Hans Horrevoets, 32, of The Netherlands was swept overboard from ABN Amro Two in heavy seas. Although he was recovered from the water, attempts to resuscitate him were not successful. The savage storm that hit the fleet could easily have claimed more lives. The crew of Movistar abandoned ship after the aft end of their keel pivot broke away from their hull in the night -- less than 48 hours after Horrevoets died. The crew transferred to ABN Amro Two which had been standing by and was escorted by HMS Mersey back to land. December 1998 Sydney to Hobart Race Death toll: Six . One of the saddest events in yachting history began at Sydney Harbor on December 26, 1998, when the annual Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race set off. Fierce storms and violent winds battered the 115-strong fleet in the famously tough event off the eastern coast of Australia and only 44 boats made it to the finish line at Hobart.

Among those who died were; Mike Bannister (Winston Churchill), Glyn Charles (Sword of Orion), John Dean (Winston Churchill), Bruce Guy (Business Post Naiad), Jim Lawler (Winston Churchill), Phillip Skeggs (Business Post Naiad). The vessels; Winston Churchill, VC Offshore Stand Aside, Sword of Orion, Miintinta, and Midnight Special all sank. 1989 Whitbread Round the World Race Death toll: One .

By . George Grant For The Daily Mail . Falkirk starlet Conor McGrandles has clinched a dream move to Norwich City in a record £1million deal for the Bairns. Although they refused to disclose the precise fee, it is understood they are set to rake in a seven-figure sum with add-ons. Falkirk hailed it as the highest ever received by the club and ‘a remarkable achievement’ for their famed youth academy. Big move: Conor McGrandles has left Falkirk to join Norwich in a £1million deal . It certainly marks an incredible rise for the athletic 18-year-old midfielder who made his first-team debut nearly two years ago, just five days after his 17th birthday, and has gone to make 72 appearances. Aston Villa also showed interest but McGrandles joined the Championship side on the recommendation of former Falkirk boss Gary Holt, who returned to the Canaries in the summer as assistant to Neil Adams. McGrandles will be the third talented youngster to leave the Bairns in the space of just seven months, with midfielder Jay Fulton and defender Stephen Kingsley having departed for Swansea City in January and June respectively. Manager Peter Houston said he was ‘gutted’ to see McGrandles leave but thrilled the teenager has earned a shot at the big time. ‘Conor was always a player who was going to move on and play at a higher level,’ he said. ‘This was a fantastic opportunity for him and we wish him well at Norwich. It is also fantastic for our club – an endorsement of our commitment to our Academy and to bringing young players into the first team at a very early stage. On the up: McGrandles (left) made his debut for Falkirk shortly after his 17th birthday . ‘We said we will only sell another player this window if the offer was absolutely exceptional. This was – and it allows us to strengthen the team and have the funds to look at other developments at the club.’ Meanwhile, a Falkirk statement read: ‘The precise fee is undisclosed but is the highest ever received by the club. This is remarkable achievement for the club and its youth policy. Even before taking add-ons into consideration, the fee exceeds previous high fees from the sales of John Hughes, Scott Arfield, Murray Wallace and Stephen Kingsley. ‘The income from the transfer gives the club more financial security than ever before. The funds will not simply be used to fund operating losses. More budget has been given to Peter Houston to strengthen the first team squad and he will be working to see what new faces he can bring in. ‘It is also an exceptional achievement for Conor McGrandles. He has proved himself at our level and fully deserves his opportunity to play and earn at a much higher level. Conor has demonstrated what can be achieved through the Academy and at the club. ‘The club will never hold a young ambitious player back and fully accept this is a natural progression for such a talented player.’ Summarize this article.

A top Virginia politician lay in a Charlottesville hospital with multiple stab wounds Tuesday evening after what state police called a fight with his son, who appears to have killed himself shortly afterward. A cousin found state Sen. Creigh Deeds, the 2009 Democratic nominee for governor, walking down a road near his home Tuesday morning, bleeding from multiple stab wounds to his head and chest, state police reported. State troopers who came to Deeds' home in Millboro, about 150 miles west of Richmond, then found 24-year-old Austin "Gus" Deeds with a gunshot wound, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said. The troopers were unable to save him. "Based on the evidence we have, we are looking at this as an attempted murder and suicide," Geller told reporters Tuesday afternoon. No one else was in the house at the time of the altercation, and investigators are not seeking any other suspects, she said. Deeds' cousin called 911 and took the senator to a nearby farm, where a helicopter airlifted him to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, Geller said. His condition was upgraded from critical to fair Tuesday afternoon, spokeswoman Angela Taylor said. The senator was able to talk with investigators before he was flown to the hospital and afterward, Geller said. CNN affiliate WTVR: Deeds stabbed multiple times . Deeds, 55, is well known in Virginia political circles. A Democrat, he ran for attorney general in 2005 and for governor in 2009, both times against Republican Bob McDonnell, who is now Virginia's governor. Gus Deeds withdrew from The College of William & Mary last month after being enrolled off-and-on since 2007, according to a statement from the school. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported Tuesday that he had been given a mental health evaluation under an emergency custody order Monday but was released because no psychiatric bed could be located across a wide area of western Virginia, Dennis Cropper, executive director of the Rockbridge Area Community Services Board, told the newspaper. Geller said she was unable to comment on that report, citing medical privacy laws. "Obviously, the motive and the absolute circumstances that led up to this altercation is still very much the focus of this investigation," she said. In a statement issued to other news organizations later, Cropper said he could not comment on a specific case. But he said that if a patient is brought in under an emergency custody order, they can be held for four hours for an examination -- and if a doctor determines they need to be hospitalized, a bed has to be lined up within that period. "In certain conditions, a two-hour extension is granted by a magistrate, but under no circumstances can a person be held beyond six hours involuntarily under an ECO (emergency custody order)," Cropper said. "We ask that the community respect the family's privacy while they grieve the loss of their son and brother." CNN affiliate WSLS: Updates on Deeds after stabbing . Friend says family was trying to find help . Cory Jessee, who attended high school and college with Gus Deeds, said it was common knowledge that the family was trying to get the senator's son help. "He took a semester off to help his dad in the campaign. Then he came back to school, and he was pretty happy to be back in school," Jessee said. "I didn't know the details of his illness, but he seemed on the right side of it." Jessee also dismissed any suggestion that Gus Deeds had an alcohol problem despite reports that he had been arrested on a misdemeanor charge of underage alcohol possession in 2009. "There was a party at someone's house. He was one of a dozen kids who got a citation for drinking," Jessee said, adding the incident was "blown out of proportion." Democratic state Sen. Chap Petersen, who has known the Deeds family for more than 15 years, said Deeds "had a lot of concerns about his son." "Just issues of dropping out of school and things of that nature," Petersen said. Deeds had moved his son in with him in recent months. "That was a conscious choice to help his son get back on his feet, to get some stability in his life. I just know that Creigh made a commitment to his son in that way," Petersen said. "... As shocking as these events are today, the pieces kind of come into place now that we know a little bit more about the history." Virginia politicians react to stabbing . McDonnell, the governor, called Tuesday's events "heartbreaking." "In this tough and sad time, our thoughts and prayers are with the Deeds family. The news from this morning is utterly heartbreaking," he said. "Creigh Deeds is an exceptional and committed public servant who has always done what he believes is best for Virginia and who gives his all to public service. He cares deeply about Virginia, and the people of Virginia care deeply for him." And in a post on Twitter, Virginia Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe -- who lost the Democratic nomination to Deeds in 2009 -- said he and his wife, Dorothy, "are praying for the Deeds family at this difficult time." Also via Twitter, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner called the report "stunning news." "I am praying for @CreighDeeds and his family at this very, very difficult time," he tweeted.

But he said fans deserve to hear more from their fans than 'no comments,' and his site will allow a direct connection to the athlete. 'We just need to be sure our thoughts will come across the way we intend,' he wrote. The site's next big reveal will happen on October 2 Jeter announced.

Carol E. Levy (right) has moved her new husband Joel Goron (left) into the prestigious New York addresses she shares with her ex-husband . A New York real estate broker is seeking a buyer for her luxurious multi-million dollar home, which she currently shares with her husband, newborn baby - and her ex. Carol E. Levy - known as 'The Billion Dollar Broker' - was forced to continue sharing the duplex at the Beresford on Central Park West with her ex-husband Chris Lipman after the couple divorced in 2012. A judge ruled that Chris should receive spousal support, after he was let go from his wife's successful firm Carol E. Levy Real Estate when the couple split. But this didn't stop the wealthy broker from moving on with her life, as Carol has since moved her new husband Joel Goron into the prestigious addresses, the New York Post reported. 'I have not allowed Chris' presence and the fact that he's not moved on with his life to stand in the way of moving full steam ahead with my life,' she told the newspaper. 'He is like a squatter here, and I am the ultimate doer. He is an unwanted guest, and once the apartment sells, it's all over.' Chris currently lives rent-free on the 17th floor in the guest bedroom of the six-bedroom palatial apartment, surrounded by a media room and the kitchen. Carol lives upstairs in the 18th-floor master suite with Joel, who she married in August, their new baby, and her and Chris' two teenage daughters. 'I do not allow her ex's presence to affect our incredible happiness in any way whatsoever,' Joel said. 'He's merely a speed bump in the road.' For his part, Chris says he chooses to remain living in the unorthodox living situation - despite the frosty atmosphere - as it allows him to see his two daughters and eases financial pressures as he builds a separate business. He also told the New York Post that his presence is also motivating Carol to sell the apartment, of which he will receive 45 per cent of the profits. Carol E. Levy (left) - known as 'The Billion Dollar Broker' - was forced to continue sharing the duplex at the Beresford on Central Park West with her ex-husband Chris Lipman (right) after the couple divorced in 2012 . The legal ruling placed the burden of the mortgage and maintenance on Carol until the 5,000-square-foot marital home is sold. The impressive property - which features city views, sweeping terraces, a grand staircase herringbone floors and two wood-burning fireplaces - came onto the market for $24 million and has already been reduced to $18 million to speed up the sale. Carol describes the palatial apartment as 'a wonderful mix of classic pre-war with modern amenities', with a 'magical garden oasis' featuring panoramic views. Divorce attorney Todd Spodek explained to the New York Post that many couples are left with no other option than to co-habit after a litigated divorce due to the current scarcity of real estate options in New York City.

Question: Sean designs and sells patches. He orders his patches in a unit of 100 and is charged $1.25 per patch. If he turns around and sells all 100 patches for $12.00 each, what is his net profit? Answer:
He orders 100 patches and they cost $1.25 each so the patches are 100*1.25 = $<<100*1.25=125.00>>125.00 He sells each of the 100 patches for $12.00 each so he makes 100*12 = $<<100*12=1200.00>>1,200.00 He makes $1,200.00 selling patches and spends $125.00 to have them made so his net profit is 1200-125 = $<<1200-125=1075.00>>1,075.00 The answer is 1075.

By . Jason Groves . PUBLISHED: . 19:56 EST, 25 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:26 EST, 26 August 2013 . He's on our team: Pensions Minister Steve Webb says God is a Liberal Democray . He is said to move in mysterious ways and, at last, there may be an explanation why. For, according to pensions minister Steve Webb, God is a Liberal Democrat. Although the party has been languishing in single figures in the polls, he argues that, in the long term, it has the support of the Almighty. Writing in a new book about the party’s relationship with Christianity, Mr Webb says it is clear from the Bible that God shares the Lib Dems’ core beliefs. ‘The most fundamental reason why Christians should feel at home in the Liberal Democrats is that the character of God, as revealed in the Christian Gospel, would suggest that God must be a liberal,’ he writes. ‘This assertion will shock or offend some but I believe there is no other conclusion that can be drawn from the New Testament.’ He goes on: ‘Those who recognise in the Gospel a deep reverence for human freedom and self-determination will find a natural home in the Liberal Democrats.’ His comments come in a new book of essays, Liberal Democrats Do God. The title is a riposte to former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell who famously banned questions about Tony Blair’s religious faith by telling reporters: ‘We don’t do God’. Despite Mr Webb’s eye-catching claims the book is unlikely to feature on Nick Clegg’s reading list, since the Lib Dem leader has declared himself an atheist. But party president Tim Farron appears to back Mr Webb, citing a call to Christian’s by Peter to ‘engage with politics’. Writing in the new book, Mr Farron says: Liberal Democrats stand alone as the defender of the rights of all human beings’. But writing in the same book the Catholic MP Greg Mulholland warns that the Lib Dems have become ‘anti-religious’ and ‘illiberal’ in their rejection of Christianity. Halo default: Despite the God Almighty supposedly being on his side, Nick Clegg's party keeps sliding in the polls . ‘I fear that what we are heading towards now in the party is away from freedom of conscience and towards a new moral conformity,’ he writes. Mr Webb is also taken to task by a prominent Lib Dem councillor who pointed out that ‘virtually every political tradition under the sun has at some time claimed the Almighty as their own.’ Lester Holloway, a councillor in Sutton and former editor of the Black newspaper New Nation, said: ‘History is littered with assorted dodgy Christian tribes hanging their noxious beliefs on particular Bible passages. Indeed slavery and forced conversion was justified on such grounds. ‘Webb’s interpretation is, of course, grounded on a wider reading of the Bible yet so too is a Conservative take on the Bible.’ Mr Holloway went on: ‘The party is led by a man who has declared he doesn’t believe in God yet his belief in the Tories seems to be stronger. I don’t suppose God believes in suicide yet several disabled people have done just that after (eligibility) tests imposed by the department of which Webb is a minister of state.’ Summarize this article.
Pensions Minister Steve Webb claims God is Liberal Democrat . Says it is 'clear from the Bible' that the Lord agrees with his party . 'Divine intervention' doesn't appear to have helped Lib Dem in polls .
