Police probe motives behind fatal San Bernardino classroom shooting

Police probe motives behind fatal San Bernardino classroom shootingRelatives of a school teacher shot dead by her husband in a San Bernardino, California, classroom have told investigators the slaying capped a brief, turbulent marriage and breakup marked by accusations of infidelity and threats, police said on Tuesday. Police also revealed that surveillance video showed the shooter initially had tried to get into the school through a locked door, forcing him to gain entry instead by way of the front office, where he signed in and was allowed free access to the classroom by staff who recognized him. School employees, however, were apparently unaware of the marital discord believed to have led the gunman, an unemployed former pastor and maintenance worker, to fatally shoot his estranged wife, Karen Elaine Smith, and an 8-year-old student in front of their class before reloading his revolver and killing himself.

Don’t forget to free up gigabytes of space after the Windows 10 update

Don't forget to free up gigabytes of space after the Windows 10 update

The Windows 10 Creators Update is here, and you should go download it right now. Not only does it fix bugs and security flaws, it also helps you make magical rainbows and unicorns, quite literally.

But once you've downloaded and installed the update, you might notice your hard drive has filled up a few extra gigabytes. It doesn't have to be this way.

A little-known fact about Windows is that when you upgrade from one version of Windows to another, it stores the data from the old version of Windows hidden on your hard drive. It's done so that if there's problems with the new version, you still have the data available to downgrade.

That's great for your nervous uncle changing from Windows 7 to Windows 8. But there's likely very little reason for you to want to downgrade from the Windows 10 Creators Update, and if you're the kind of person who runs specialist software with specific compatibility, you've probably got your own backup system.

All that's to say that those old versions of Windows are just taking up unnecessary room on your drive, and you can delete them. Thankfully, Windows has a tool to do just that built in.

The Disk Cleanup program does exactly what it says on the box, letting you delete old versions of Windows (in addition to a bunch of other crap). Just type "Disk Cleanup" into the Start menu universal search, and click on the top result. Then, select your install drive (most likely C:), and click "Clean up system files." When you get a list of options, tick "Previous Windows installations," and run the program.

Mexican court blocks drug lord's extradition to U.S.

Posted: 12 Apr 2017 11:32 AM PDT

Mexican court blocks drug lord's extradition to U.S.A Mexican court has blocked efforts by the foreign ministry to extradite jailed drug lord Hector Beltran Leyva to the United States, judicial authorities said on Wednesday, just a few months after top kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was sent north. The Mexico City court granted Beltran Leyva, one of Mexico's most-wanted drug lords until his capture in 2014, an injunction in his appeal against extradition due to technicalities involving a failure to follow due process. In a statement, Mexico's federal judicial authorities said the case would return to the original judge, who would begin the process afresh.
