White House insists President Trump is ‘proud of’ the health care bill even though ‘it’s not his’ Posted: 14 Mar 2017 02:22 PM PDT White House press secretary Sean Spicer distanced President Trump from the GOP health care bill in his daily briefing Tuesday while insisting the commander in chief is "proud of it." The plan, which would replace Obamacare, has come under fire from Democrats and conservatives. While Trump and his administration have backed the bill, it is the brainchild of House Speaker Paul Ryan, and contradicts many of the health care promises Trump made during his presidential campaign. |

GOP Rep. Barton tells man to ‘shut up’ in testy town hall Posted: 14 Mar 2017 12:46 PM PDT A Texas congressman told a constituent to "shut up" in a heated moment caught on video. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, was holding a town hall last weekend in the city of Frost, the Dallas Morning News reported, when a man confronted him about his voting record pertaining to violence against women. "Given your voting record opposing protecting women from violence, will you make a commitment to us today — make a promise — that you will reach out to Congresswoman Jackie Speier and work with her to see this bill successfully through Congress?" the man asked, drawing applause from the crowd. |

The Galaxy S8 and Note 8 might not even be the best phones Samsung unveils this year Posted: 14 Mar 2017 08:17 AM PDT Samsung is reportedly working on a smartphone that will be a step above regular flagship handsets, a device that'll deliver "luxurious design and high-quality" beyond anything Samsung has done so far, including the unreleased Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8. That smartphone should be unveiled officially later this year, according to a new report, although it might not actually hit store shelves until some point in 2018. Samsung's unnamed smartphone was apparently showcased to a limited number of partners at MWC 2017, as the South Korean giant is trying to prevent leaks. What's so special about this device? The screen. According to ETNews' sources, this is the foldable Samsung handset we've heard about in recent rumors. Samsung seems committed to mass-producing a few thousands units this year, and the company apparently wants to release them to testers and partners in the third quarter. The trial run should help Samsung test the quality and performance of the phone, while simultaneously offering the company a way to test the market ahead of a wider release. Assuming the report is accurate and Samsung sticks to this schedule, we might see the device unveiled at IFA 2017 later this year. Mass-production should start in 2018 after Samsung gauges demand for such a device. It's unclear at this time what the first foldable smartphone from Samsung will have to offer other than the foldable OLED display itself. Pricing details also have not been mentioned. Samsung's prototype won't be the only foldable smartphone we'll see in the near future. Apparently, Samsung is in a race with various Chinese handset makers to become the first company in the world to release a handset with a foldable display. Lenovo, Oppo, and Vivo might be working on foldable phones, the report notes, with the help of local display makers including BOE, Visionox, and AUO. Samsung Display, meanwhile, will obviously provide flexible OLED screens to Samsung for the foldable phone. Notably absent from the report is Apple. Reports in late 2016 claimed that Apple is also interested in making foldable iPhones. The same ETNews said in mid-December that LG Display is looking to mass-produce foldable screens for a number of partners, including Apple, Google, and Microsoft. |
Posted: 14 Mar 2017 07:14 AM PDT Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., slammed White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday, comparing the daily media briefing and its defenses of President Trump to self-parody. The comment was in reference to Monday's press briefing, in which Spicer attempted to clarify Trump's evidence-free allegation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped the phones in Trump Tower prior to the election. Quigley, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, rejected this defense, saying, "These are extraordinarily serious allegations about the former president and our entire system. |

Posted: 14 Mar 2017 12:33 PM PDT On March 14, Yahoo News White House Correspondent Hunter Walker asked White House press secretary Sean Spicer if any component of the current House Republican health care bill needs to change for President Trump to put his name on the bill. Spicer responded said the bill is "not his" and called it a "joint effort." |

Study: Stopping global warming only way to save coral reefs Posted: 15 Mar 2017 01:15 PM PDT SYDNEY (AP) — Reducing pollution and curbing overfishing won't prevent the severe bleaching that is killing coral at catastrophic rates, according to a study of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. In the end, researchers say, the only way to save the world's coral from heat-induced bleaching is with a war on global warming. |
U.S. taxpayers procrastinate on filing returns this year Posted: 14 Mar 2017 04:12 AM PDT The number of people filing their taxes with the Internal Revenue Service is running well below last year. The tax deadline is April 18 instead of the traditional April 15, which falls on a Saturday this year. The most significant reason, however, and one cited by the IRS, is that a new regulation delayed refunds by taxpayers claiming an Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb. 15. |

Headphone batteries explode on flight to Australia Posted: 15 Mar 2017 01:12 AM PDT A woman whose headphones caught fire on a plane suffered burns to her face and hands, Australian officials said Wednesday as they warned about the dangers of battery-operated devices in-flight. The passenger was listening to music on her own battery-operated headphones as she dozed about two hours into the trip from Beijing to Melbourne on February 19 when there was a loud explosion. "As I went to turn around I felt burning on my face," she told the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) which investigated the incident. |
Republicans condemn King’s incendiary comments on immigration Posted: 14 Mar 2017 08:18 AM PDT The backlash to Rep. Steve King's incendiary comments about immigration continued Tuesday, hours after the Iowa Republican appeared to double down on a tweet critics said was his open endorsement of white nationalism. At the White House, press secretary Sean Spicer said King's comments were "not a point of view" that President Trump shares. King's sparked a firestorm on Sunday by suggesting that Western civilization is threatened by the influx of immigrants and refugees. |

Climate change is making people sick: US doctors Posted: 15 Mar 2017 08:47 AM PDT From rising levels of air pollution to increased water contamination and a widening range for disease-carrying mosquitoes, climate change is making people sick, a coalition of 11 US medical groups said Wednesday. Known as the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, the group represents more than half of US doctors, and aims to help policy makers understand the health dangers of global warming, and what must be done to guard against it in the coming years. "Doctors in every part of our country see that climate change is making Americans sicker," said Mona Sarfaty, a physician and director of the new consortium. |
Police detained congressman who refused to leave ICE office Posted: 14 Mar 2017 09:47 AM PDT Police placed Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D) of Illinois in handcuffs briefly on Monday after he refused to leave a federal immigration office without getting answers about the fate of several detainees facing deportation. Mr. Gutiérrez says he met with the regional Immigration Customs Enforcement, or ICE, director at a Chicago immigration office. After receiving several warnings from officials, the congressman and other demonstrators were placed in plastic handcuffs and briefly detained. |

Veteran U.S. diplomat Patterson out of running for Pentagon post Posted: 14 Mar 2017 03:21 PM PDT Veteran U.S. diplomat Anne Patterson is out of the running to under secretary of defense for policy, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, depriving Defense Secretary Jim Mattis of his choice for his top policy adviser. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the officials said Patterson ran into resistance on Capitol Hill that might have made it hard for her to win confirmation by the U.S. Senate. The Washington Post first reported that Patterson, who had previously served as the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East and as ambassador to Egypt, Pakistan, Colombia and El Salvador, was no longer a candidate. |

Vietnam seizes 100 kgs of rhino horn from Kenya Posted: 14 Mar 2017 09:33 AM PDT Vietnam police seized more than 100 kilograms of rhino horn smuggled into the country in suitcases from Kenya on Tuesday, the latest illegal haul in the wildlife trafficking hub. Vietnam is a hot market for rhino horn, believed to have medicinal properties and is in high demand among the communist nation's growing middle class. The country is a popular transit point for illegal animal products, which often move from Africa through Vietnam to other parts of Asia. |

Tillerson to press China on North Korea in tough first Asia trip Posted: 14 Mar 2017 04:15 PM PDT By David Brunnstrom and Yeganeh Torbati WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson faces a tough first trip to Asia this week when the former oil executive will seek to reassure nervous allies facing North Korea's growing nuclear and missile threat and press China to do more on perhaps the most serious security challenge confronting President Donald Trump. Tillerson will visit Japan and South Korea before heading to Beijing, where he is expected to firm up a U.S. visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping next month to meet Trump as the leaders of the word's two largest economies. |

iOS 11 lock screen gets re-imagined in brand new concept photos Posted: 15 Mar 2017 01:44 PM PDT These days, it's not uncommon to come across stunning and thought-provoking iOS 11 concepts that aren't necessarily feasible. Indeed, some designers, when putting together iOS 11 mockups, seem to focus on cobbling together fantastical features without ever stopping to contemplate whether or not their designs are practical or even doable. Imagining futuristic iOS 11 features can certainly be fun and entertaining, but sometimes we've got to take a step back and focus on iOS features Apple might actually implement.
Stepping up to the plate in this regard, Matt Birchler of Birchtree recently put together an interesting list of iOS 11 lockscreen ideas that not only seem doable, but might actually be extremely useful. As a quick example, Birchler envisions a scenario where Apple might put weather information onto the top corner of the lock screen. Birchler reasons that many people turn on their phones to get a quick weather update so putting that information in plan view would be extremely efficient. Now I'm not sure people check their weather that often during the day, but the mockup below illustrates just one way in which Apple could take advantage of the mostly empty real estate on the iOS lock screen. Another intriguing idea Birchler raises is threading Messages notifications on the lock screen. I'm not sure Apple will go down this route, but Birchler's idea could easily help clean up some notification clutter on the lock screen. Some other ideas Birchler puts forward include a smart notification system and the ability to add third-party apps to the lock screen itself, an intriguing idea to say the least. With Apple set to unveil iOS 11 in just about three months, we curiously still haven't heard much about what type of features Apple's next-gen mobile OS will bring to the table, save for a few rumblings about Dark Mode, enhanced Siri support, group FaceTime chat functionality and few other minor tweaks. The following iOS 11 concept video, this one from designer Jacek Zieba, encapsulates a few of these ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg7NNXyr3JY |
Who wins, who loses in US Republican health care plan Posted: 14 Mar 2017 01:11 PM PDT The Republican plan to ditch "Obamacare" and implement new reforms to the US health care system would leave millions of Americans without insurance. Under the new plan, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the number of uninsured will grow by 14 million in 2018, and by 2026 to 24 million more than the number projected to be living without insurance under the current Affordable Care Act. "In the academic community, people were surprised at how high the figures were," Colleen Carey, an economics professor at Cornell University and an expert in health care regulation, told AFP. |
Iraqi troops seize main bridge, advance on mosque in battle for Mosul Posted: 15 Mar 2017 05:04 AM PDT By Patrick Markey and John Davison MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi government forces battling Islamic State for Mosul took control of a main bridge over the Tigris river on Wednesday and advanced towards the mosque where the group's leader declared a caliphate in 2014, federal police said. The seizure of the Iron Bridge, linking eastern Mosul with the militant-held Old City on the west side, means the government holds three of the five bridges over the Tigris and bolsters Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's assertion that the battle is reaching its final stages. The bridge, which was damaged in fighting late last year, was captured by federal police and Interior Ministry Rapid Response units, a police statement said. |

Trump to drop climate change from environmental reviews: Bloomberg Posted: 14 Mar 2017 01:06 PM PDT (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is set to sign an order to greatly reduce the role climate change plays in decision making across the U.S. government, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the administration's plan. The order, which could be signed this week, aims to reverse former Democratic President Barack Obama's broad approach for addressing climate change, the report said. The Clean Power Plan is Obama's centerpiece initiative to combat climate change, requiring states to slash emissions of carbon dioxide, but it was never implemented due to legal challenges launched by several Republican states. |
Thousands petition New York to keep 'Fearless Girl' Posted: 14 Mar 2017 03:34 AM PDT A sculpture of a courageous young girl installed temporarily in New York to champion gender diversity is so popular that thousands of people have signed a petition demanding it remain permanently. Called "Fearless Girl" and created by US artist Kristen Visbal, the bronze girl stands defiant, hands on hips and chin jutting out, directly challenging the famous "Charging Bull" statue that is a symbol of Wall Street. It was installed on March 7 by investment company State Street Global Advisors on the eve of International Women's Day to create awareness for the need for greater gender diversity on company boards. |

Tesla’s unannounced Model Y gets brought to life in new concept photo Posted: 14 Mar 2017 01:51 PM PDT As Tesla has grown more successful with each passing year, the company's plans for EV domination has become far more ambitious. Initially, Tesla's plan consisted of releasing the Roadster to fund development of the Model S and to then use those Model S profits to fund the design and manufacturing process of the Model 3. The staggering and perhaps surprising success of the Model S, however, prompted Tesla to take a quick detour and roll out of the model X in late 2015.
With Model 3 deliveries slated to begin later this year, Tesla has no plans to let its industrial designers and engineers take a break. Far from it, Tesla has plans to release a crossover vehicle based on the Model 3 platform that will likely be called the Model Y. Far from an unsourced rumor, Elon Musk confirmed this about 17 months ago via Twitter. Tesla right now is 100% focused on getting the Model 3 ready for mass production, which is to say that the Model Y probably isn't even on the company's radar at this point. Still, that hasn't stopped Tesla enthusiasts from speculating on what a Model 3 crossover might look like. Earlier today, Autocar released an interesting render which imagines what a Model Y might look like. It's not the most captivating render we've ever seen, but it's all we've got at the moment. But again, don't expect to see any Model Y rumors coming through the pipeline anytime soon. Nonetheless, Autocar speculates that the Model Y could turn out to be Tesla's biggest success. "While the compact Model Y could turn out to be Tesla's best seller – some seven million crossovers of all types were sold in the US last year," the report notes, "Musk recently tweeted that the Model 3 remained the biggest priority for the company." Regarding the Model Y nomenclature, note that the entirety of Tesla's lineup was designed to spell out 'sexy' with the Models S, 3, X and Y. Famously, the Model 3 was previously called the Model E before Ford effectively forced them to change it. As for other vehicles Tesla might eventually release, Musk last year said that a pickup truck might eventually be released. "I think it is quite likely we will do a truck in the future," Musk said. "I think it's sort of a logical thing for us to do in the future." |
Erdogan angers Dutch with Srebrenica jibe Posted: 14 Mar 2017 02:49 PM PDT Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan prompted a fresh outcry in The Netherlands on Tuesday with a jibe about the Srebrenica massacre, warning of retaliation in a spiralling diplomatic crisis. Keeping an uncompromising tone in a tumultuous dispute that risks wrecking the entire Ankara-Brussels relationship, Erdogan said a 'yes' vote in a April 16 referendum on expanding his powers would be the best response to Turkey's "enemies". Ankara had a day earlier announced it was suspending high-level relations after The Netherlands prevented two Turkish ministers from holding rallies to woo expatriate support ahead of the referendum. |
Garbage dump landslide in Ethiopia Posted: 15 Mar 2017 08:10 AM PDT The death toll from a landslide at a dump in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa has reached 113, officials said on Wednesday, as the government declared three days of national mourning. "The total number of dead has reached 113, of which 38 are male and 75 are female," said Dagmawit Moges, a spokeswoman for the city. "At least 80 other residents are missing," said Temesghen Abraham, a resident at the landfill. |
