Dow Chemical says it will pay $835 million to settle a long-standing class action lawsuit, after the death of Scalia decreased its chances of prevailing at the Supreme Court.

A Syrian man walks along a street damaged by shelling in the neighbourhood of Jobar, on the eastern outskirts of the capital Damascus, on February 24, 2016A landmark UN-backed ceasefire came into effect at midnight in Syria on Friday -- the first major truce in five years of civil war that have claimed more than 270,000 lives. On the stroke of midnight, guns fell silent in the Damascus suburbs and the devastated northern city of Aleppo, AFP correspondents said, after a day of intense Russian air strikes on rebel bastions across the country. Russia and the United States, the sponsors of the ceasefire deal, have warned that applying it will be difficult in a country that has been torn apart by a conflict that broke out in March 2011.

Police vehicles line the road near a rural property near Belfair, WashingtonBy Eric M. Johnson SEATTLE (Reuters) - Five people were dead, including a suspected gunman, following a shooting and standoff with police at a home in Washington state on Friday, but a 12-year-old girl safely escaped, Mason County authorities said. "It's a terrible tragedy." The newspaper quoted Mason County Sheriff Deputy Chief Ryan Spurling as saying that a man called law enforcement on Friday morning and reported that he shot two children, a woman and another person. A short time later, the sheriff tweeted that the 12-year-old girl was "safe after getting away from the shooter, adding that her "relation to the shooter is not confirmed yet." Police surrounded the home near the community of Belfair, about 25 miles (40 km) west of Seattle across Puget Sound, but did not immediately enter the residence because the man was armed with a handgun, Spurling said, according to the Seattle Times.

U.S. President Barack Obama delivers a speech after touring Saft America Advanced Batteries Plant in Jacksonville, FloridaBy Roberta Rampton JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Reuters) - President Barack Obama used a trip to a lithium-ion battery factory on Friday to defend his economic record against arguments made by Republicans in the race to succeed him after the Nov. 8 presidential election. Obama said his policies, including the $760 billion economic stimulus he brought in when he first took office, helped the American economy bounce back from the 2007-2009 recession that he inherited much faster than European nations that adopted austerity measures. "If we don't recognize the progress we've made and how that came about, then we may chase some snake oil and end up having policies that get us back in the swamp," Obama told workers at the plant built by French company Saft with $95.5 million from the stimulus.
