Trump adviser's family business scraps China sales pitch Posted: 12 May 2017 06:04 AM PDT The real estate company owned by the family of US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser withdrew Friday from a sales pitch to Chinese investors after it sparked an uproar. White House aide Jared Kushner's sister headlined events in Beijing and Shanghai last weekend to seek more than $150 million in investment in a US luxury apartment complex. Nicole Kushner Meyer urged wealthy Chinese to buy stakes through the EB-5 visa program that offers US residency in exchange for at least $500,000 investment in a US business that must also create at least 10 American jobs. |

NASA delays debut launch of $23 billion moon rocket and capsule Posted: 12 May 2017 04:28 PM PDT By Irene Klotz CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - NASA has delayed the first launch of its heavy-payload rocket until 2019 and decided against an idea floated by the White House to put astronauts aboard the capsule that is set to fly around the moon, the U.S. space agency said on Friday. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration had hoped to launch the Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket in November 2018. The rocket will send the deep-space Orion capsule on a high lunar orbit. |
Republican lawmaker key to health bill's passage lambasted at town hall Posted: 11 May 2017 06:37 AM PDT A constituent asks a question of Tom MacArthur at the tumultuous town hall. Tom MacArthur, the New Jersey congressman who has been celebrated in conservative circles for helping pass the Republican healthcare bill, came back down to earth with a bang on Wednesday night when he was booed, heckled and generally chastised during a nearly five-hour town hall meeting. In Willingboro, hundreds showed up to lambast MacArthur, most fuelled by their congressman's intervention to revive the ailing American Health Care Act (AHCA). |
A gigantic, bloody dead thing just washed up in Indonesia and nobody knows what it is Posted: 12 May 2017 10:01 AM PDT The sea still holds great mysteries for mankind. A few examples of this are the peculiar disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, the origins of the Baltic Sea Anomaly, and whatever the heck just washed up on the shore of the Indonesian island of Seram. The massive 50-foot-long creature, long since deceased, is already decaying, and nobody can seem to offer a definitive answer as to exactly what it is... or was.
The discovery, reported by the Jakarta Globe, was made by a resident of the island who, after spotting it in the dark of night, initially thought the creature was a stranded boat. Now, the dead animal has become a bit of a local celebrity, as residents stop by to catch a glimpse of whatever it might be. https://www.facebook.com/mbs.lessiputy/posts/1497352876949760 In the initial report, the creature is said to be a giant squid, and notes that local government is being asked to deal with its remains. However, others have suggested that it's not a squid at all, but a dead whale which has grown unidentifiable due to decay. In terms of size, both sperm whales and giant squids would seem to match, as both can reach similar lengths, though if the squid theory proves true it would be a particularly large specimen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR9S6XWG-I0 Videos shot by locals seem to support the idea that the rotting corpse is actually that of a whale, as large bones appear to be visible among the remains. Whatever it is, it's huge, dead, and gross. |

Iran's Rouhani vows to end remaining sanctions in final debate Posted: 12 May 2017 09:46 AM PDT Iran's President Hassan Rouhani vowed Friday to continue rebuilding ties with the world and get rid of remaining sanctions during a fiery final debate a week ahead of the election. Rouhani, who is seeking a second four-year term next Friday, said Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers had ended many sanctions and brought a windfall from renewed oil sales over the past year that could now be invested. "I will engage myself in lifting all the non-nuclear sanctions during the coming four years and bring back the grandeur of Iran and the Iranian people," he said. |

Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 pickups recalled due to airbag problem: 1 million vehicles affected Posted: 12 May 2017 07:41 AM PDT Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling more than 1 million Ram pickups from the 2013 to 2016 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that a software glitch could prevent some of the trucks' airbags and seatbelt pretensioners from deploying during collisions. The software is associated with the occupant restraint controller, which was manufactured by Robert Bosch LLC in Plymouth, Michigan. ALSO SEE: Study: Trump states sell fewer green cars than Clinton states NHTSA documents warn that if the trucks included in this recall are driven off-road or strike debris, the roll rate sensor (which helps determine whether a vehicle is at risk of rolling over) may trigger a fault in occupant restraint controller, which would disable the rollover side curtain airbags and the seatbelt pretensioners. If those systems don't deploy during a collision, the risk of injury to occupants could increase dramatically. The good news is, if the rollover airbags and pretensioners are disabled, an airbag warning light will be illuminated on the dashboard, letting drivers know that something's wrong. The issue should resolve itself after the ignition cycle completes, meaning that the safety systems function as normal once the truck is turned off and restarted. The bad news is that FCA has received at least 16 complaints about the problem. The worse news is that two injuries and one death may be linked to it. CHECK OUT: 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio priced above direct rivals, but loaded with features The recall affects the following models: 2013-2016 Ram 1500 2013-2016 Ram 2500 2014-2016 Ram 3500 FCA says that 1,021,279 of those vehicles are currently registered in the U.S. If you own a Ram pickup that's affected by this recall, you should receive a notice by mail around June 23. At that time, you'll be able to take your truck to a Ram dealer, who will update the occupant restraint controller software at no charge. If you have additional questions, you're encouraged to contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and ask about recall T25. You can also call NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 and inquire about safety campaign #17V-302. |

Pope greeted by thousands on Fatima pilgrimage Posted: 12 May 2017 02:54 PM PDT Fátima (Portugal) (AFP) - Pope Francis called for harmony "among all people" Friday after arriving at Portugal's holy site of Fatima where he was greeted by thousands of pilgrims gathered to mark 100 years since child shepherds had visions of the Virgin Mary. The Argentine pontiff flew into the central Portuguese town on board a helicopter, circling twice over a giant, 400,000-capacity, esplanade that faces the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima to enthusiastic cheering. Disembarking in a nearby stadium, he set off in his "Popemobile" for a journey through town followed closely by hovering helicopters, ending up at the sanctuary where pilgrims from all over the world had been waiting eagerly for hours. |

Trump’s Friday tweetstorm: threat to cancel press briefings and cryptic message to Comey Posted: 12 May 2017 07:52 AM PDT In an early-morning tweetstorm Friday, President Trump hit on a number of topics. He pushed back against allegations that there were ties between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election; he threatened former FBI Director James Comey in a cryptic message; and he said he might cancel future press briefings and hand out written briefings "for the sake of accuracy." |
Mexican activist who took on drug cartels that killed her daughter murdered in her home Posted: 12 May 2017 02:19 AM PDT A Mexican activist who pioneered a support network for the parents of missing children has been murdered by gunmen who invaded her home. Miriam Rodriguez Martinez founded a local group of 600 families searching for their relatives five years ago after her daughter Karen was kidnapped and killed by the Los Zetas drug cartel. Mrs Rodriguez lived in the municipality of San Fernando, one of the most crime-ridden areas in Mexico with the highest rate of kidnappings. |
The International Space Station has sprung a leak Posted: 12 May 2017 06:18 AM PDT The International Space Station is old. The first pieces of it were sent into orbit almost two decades ago, and it's been under near constant construction and remodeling ever since, adding new components and expanding the craft's usefulness. But it's still old. We were reminded of that today when a much-anticipated spacewalk at the ISS was delayed due to an unfortunate malfunction: a water leak.
According to NASA, the leak was discovered just before two US astronauts — Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer — were scheduled to perform the 200th spacewalk at the International Space Station. The leak was found while the astronauts were waiting in the airlock, and was traced to the connection between an umbilical hose attached to Fischer's spacesuit and the ISS itself. The umbilical, which acts as the lifeline between the astronauts as the ISS, provides power to the batteries in their equipment and circulates oxygen. Thankfully, NASA has a contingency plan for just such an occurrence: ditching the troublesome hose and just using one, for both astronauts. Now, instead of each astronaut having a functioning connection to the spacecraft, they'll just trade off, handing the connector back and forth and utilizing backup battery power in their suits when not connected. NASA maintained that the actual spacesuits worn by the astronauts are "perfectly fine." Despite its age, the International Space Station still seems to have a lot of life left, and while some reports over the years suggested that the craft would be decommissioned sooner rather than later, NASA's recently penned deal with Boeing includes a commitment to maintain the ISS hardware through at least 2028. |
South Korea urges 'parallel' talks, sanctions to rein in North Posted: 11 May 2017 03:58 PM PDT By Ju-min Park and Christine Kim SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's new president launched international efforts to defuse tension over North Korea's weapons development on Thursday, urging both dialogue and sanctions while also aiming to ease China's anger about a U.S. anti-missile system. Moon first spoke to Chinese President Xi Jinping and later to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The conversations were dominated by how to respond to North Korea's rapidly developing nuclear and ballistic missile programs, which are in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. |

Posted: 12 May 2017 11:59 AM PDT Donald Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey has left many conservatives hoping the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server can be reopened. Lots of Republicans, and others on the right, were furious when Mr Comey announced last summer, that after probing her actions, he had decided against bringing criminal charges. The decision infuriated Donald Trump and his supporters, who started to to chant "lock her up" at his election rallies. |
The Dakota pipeline is already leaking. Why wait for a big spill to act? | Julian Brave NoiseCat Posted: 12 May 2017 09:50 AM PDT The station stands roughly 100 miles south-east of the site of indigenous protest encampments along the Missouri river, where for months in 2016 the Standing Rock Sioux's stand against Dakota Access captivated the world. Despite enduring controversy over the Dakota Access pipeline, the South Dakota department of environment and natural resources did not issue a press release about the mishap because the department deals with pipeline leaks all the time. |

Father of Fatima 'miracle' boy recounts recovery Posted: 11 May 2017 11:24 AM PDT Fátima (Portugal) (AFP) - The father of a Brazilian boy who recovered at lightning speed after a serious fall on Thursday recounted what he called a "miracle" brought about by two child shepherds in Portugal's Fatima. This reported miracle is what prompted the Church to decide to canonise the shepherds who close to 100 years ago reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the central Portuguese town that has since become a major holy site. Pope Francis arrives in Fatima on Friday to mark the 100th anniversary of the reported sightings and canonise the late siblings in an event expected to attract up to a million faithful. |

OnePlus 5’s final design may have just leaked Posted: 12 May 2017 08:27 AM PDT Android fans, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that a new leak may have just revealed the final design of the hotly anticipated new OnePlus 5, which is expected to be unveiled in the coming months. What's more, the source of the leak has a reasonably good track record. The bad news, however, is that the source of the leak himself admits that he is unsure of its authenticity. While the OnePlus 5 pictured in the supplied image does align well with what we've heard elsewhere, that obvious casts a somewhat dubious light on this new leak. Twitter user @mmddj_china has posted a number of leaks in the past that have turned out to be the real deal, and now he's back with a new potential leak focused on the upcoming OnePlus 5. As you'll recall, the OnePlus 5 is hotly anticipated not just because it is expected to offer specs that are in line with the Galaxy S8, but because it is expected to offer specs that are in line with the Galaxy S8 at a MUCH lower price point. According to the latest rumors, the phone will start at just $450. That means you'll get specs and performance that rival the Galaxy S8, which costs $750+. Just about everything there is to know about the OnePlus 5 has leaked at this point, but we're still not sure what the new "flagship killer" will look like. If @mmddj_china's latest leak is accurate, however, we might have just gotten our first look at the new OnePlus phone. The image above, which was posted to Twitter on Friday, shows what is believed to be a render of the OnePlus 5 in an OEM protective case. The leak aligns with earlier design rumors even though the source is unsure of its authenticity. We can see the phone's rumored dual-lens camera emerging from OnePlus' famous textured case, and the general shape of the phone is in line with what we've seen from OnePlus in the past. Sadly, not much else can be gleaned from this render, though the phone should be unveiled soon, so we don't have much longer to wait before it's made official. |
Leaked OnePlus 5 Specs Surpass Galaxy S8 Posted: 12 May 2017 06:36 AM PDT OnePlus isn't saying what its upcoming flagship handset might offer, but that isn't stopping the leaks from springing across China. A Chinese reseller named Geekbuying has revealed what it says are the actual specs for the upcoming OnePlus 5. According to Android Headlines, which obtained a copy of the specs from Geekbuying, the handset will come with a 5.5-inch quad-HD screen and 64GB of storage. |
