Dozens of leads, no arrests in Missouri police shooting, chief says Posted: 13 Mar 2015 03:48 PM PDT By Nick Carey and Jim Young FERGUSON, Mo. (Reuters) - Investigators are following dozens of leads in the hunt for whoever shot and wounded two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, during a protest rally this week, the head of the St. Louis County police said on Friday. Police Chief Jon Belmar said that detectives are working around the clock and would not rest until they have resolved the case, which has caused tensions to spike in the St. Louis suburb after weeks of relative calm. Ferguson, a city with its legacy of racial rancor, has become the focal point of a national debate over race and policing since the killing of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer last summer. There is certainly nobody in custody," said Belmar, who leads the force in the Missouri county where Ferguson is located.

Obama says more work needed to improve veterans' care Posted: 13 Mar 2015 02:57 PM PDT By Jeff Mason PHOENIX (Reuters) - Making his first stop at a troubled veterans facility in Phoenix that sparked a political crisis for his administration, President Barack Obama said on Friday that progress has been made but more work is needed to address delays for care. Obama joined a group of veterans and lawmakers, including Arizona Senator John McCain, his opponent in the 2008 presidential race, at the medical center that prompted outrage after revelations that wait-list delays had been covered up. "We all know that there have been significant problems at this facility: the kind of cooking the books and unwillingness to face up to the fact that veterans were not being adequately served went on too long and, as a consequence, we didn't fix what needed to be fixed," Obama said after meeting with the group. "There is still more work to do." Widespread delays and other systemic problems at the Phoenix facility and others around the country sparked the resignation of then Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki in 2014.

Oklahoma fraternity members receive death threats over racist video Posted: 13 Mar 2015 01:53 PM PDT By Heide Brandes OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A lawyer hired by the board of directors of a University of Oklahoma fraternity linked to a racist video said on Friday he has no current plans to sue the school but wants to ensure the safety of fraternity members after some received death threats.

The university shut down the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house and expelled the two members who it said were the leaders in the video.

NASA confirms ocean on Jupiter moon, raising prospects for life Posted: 12 Mar 2015 02:23 PM PDT By Irene Klotz CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., (Reuters) - Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed that the Jupiter-orbiting moon Ganymede has an ocean beneath its icy surface, raising the prospects for life, NASA said on Thursday. The finding resolves a mystery about the largest moon in the solar system after NASA's now-defunct Galileo spacecraft provided hints that Ganymede has a subsurface ocean during exploration of Jupiter and its moons from 1995 to 2003. Like Earth, Ganymede has a liquid iron core that generates a magnetic field, though Ganymede's field is embedded within Jupiter's magnetic field. As Jupiter rotates, its magnetic field shifts, causing Ganymede's aurora to rock.
