Legacy of Etan Patz’s disappearance: The rise of helicopter parents Posted: 09 May 2015 08:23 AM PDT The disappearance of Etan Patz in 1979 changed the way parents watch over their children. But some people think the current level of "protection" is out of control.

Seeking Hispanic vote, Hillary Clinton defends illegal immigrants Posted: 09 May 2015 11:14 AM PDT The 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States don't vote, but they have children, siblings or cousins who do, and Hillary Clinton is courting their support. The Democratic presidential candidate has singled out immigration as a key campaign issue in her bid for the White House in 2016. She is looking to set herself apart from her Republican rivals on the matter, and has even said she wants to go further than President Barack Obama to secure legal status, and citizenship, for millions of undocumented immigrants, most of whom are Hispanic. The move is a strategic one: securing the Hispanic vote could be what Clinton -- or any candidate -- needs to become president in the next election.

Nuclear plant unit north of New York City shuts down after transformer fire Posted: 09 May 2015 05:07 PM PDT (Reuters) - A transformer failure and fire caused a unit at Indian Point nuclear plant north of New York City to be shut down on Saturday, and people nearby reported seeing an explosion and smoke at the plant. The plant at Buchanan in New York state was stable and there was no danger to the public or employees, said Entergy Corp, the company that operates the facility. Several emergency calls reported a loud noise at the plant, which is located about 40 miles (65 km) north of New York City on the east bank of the Hudson River, a New York State police spokesman said. The transformer fire was extinguished with no damage to the reactor, a spokesman for Entergy said.

Severe storms, possible tornadoes to batter Great Plains Posted: 09 May 2015 10:23 AM PDT Residents in parts of Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas were bracing on Saturday for severe thunderstorms that could spawn tornadoes, just days after a series of twisters tore through several Great Plains states, leaving one person dead. The National Weather Service issued a warning saying there was an "enhanced risk" of severe weather beginning on Saturday afternoon that could bring hail, strong winds, flash floods and possibly conditions leading to tornadoes. "The area of greatest concern is from southeast Colorado to portions of Texas," it said in its advisory. "The primary threat with these storms will be very large hail, but damaging winds and even a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out." The storm system could bring lashing wind and rain as far north as Kansas and southern Nebraska, and to parts of central Texas, including Dallas and its suburbs.

Report: North Korea test-fires submarine-launch ballistic missile Posted: 09 May 2015 09:19 AM PDT By Jack Kim SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Saturday it had successfully test-fired a ballistic missile from a submarine, a step that would mark significant progress in the secretive state's military capabilities. It could pose a new threat to South Korea, Japan and the United States, which have tried to contain North Korea's growing nuclear and missile strength, military experts said. The North's leader, Kim Jong Un, oversaw the test-launch from an offshore location as the submarine dived and "a ballistic missile surfaced from the sea and soared into the air, leaving a fiery trail of blaze," the official KCNA news agency said.
