| Same-sex couple can seek damages from Kentucky clerk: U.S. appeals court Posted: 02 May 2017 12:01 PM PDT  A federal appeals court on Tuesday revived a damages lawsuit against Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who in 2015 refused to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples because it conflicted with her Christian beliefs. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said a lower court judge erred in finding that damages claims by David Ermold and David Moore became moot, after a new state law last July excused clerks like Davis, from Rowan County, from having to sign marriage license forms. While the couple eventually did get a license, a three-judge appeals court panel said they could sue over Davis' initial refusal to grant one, after the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2015 said the Constitution guaranteed a right to same-sex marriage.

| Badass mother whale fights off orcas attacking her calf Posted: 03 May 2017 05:21 PM PDT  A mother gray whale managed to successfully defend her calf from a pod of hungry orcas in Monterey Bay, California on Sunday. In the aerial clip, a pod of orcas can be seen attacking a small calf that's swimming alongside its mother. But the momma whale is having none of it. Using its tail, the mother whale fights back against the orcas, staying with its young for the hour-long attack. "The gray whale mom took her calf and swam very fast to the beach shoreline and saved her calf," Nancy Black of Monterey Bay Whale Watch told KSBW. The calf was injured in the fight, but Black said it did survive. However, this pod of orcas has become notorious for hunting gray whale calves this year, racking up five documented attacks since April 19. They don't call them killer whales for nothing.

| NASA’s Cassini spacecraft didn’t find anything, and scientists can’t believe it Posted: 02 May 2017 06:01 PM PDT 
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has made a big name for itself by being a reliable source of really awesome photographs of parts of Saturn and its moons that humans had never seen before, along with crucial scientific readings and observations. Now, researchers are again surprised by what Cassini is telling them, but it's for the complete opposite reason: it found pretty much nothing, and that's a bigger deal than you might think.
When Cassini made its first dive between Saturn's rings last week, NASA was worried that, because of the assumed presence of dust in the are of the dive, the craft could sustain damage. Now, after studying the data collected during that first daring trip through the rings, scientists are scratching their heads over the fact that the presumed dusty area is actually pretty baren. The space where Cassini flew through is so dust-free that researchers have taken to calling it "the big empty," and suggest that their initial models and forecasts for the presence of dust were way, way off. When Cassini made its first dive, the spacecraft's handlers angled it in such a way as to protect certain parts of the craft from the pummeling effects of the particles they thought were there. Instead, the craft cruised through with just a handful of dust particle impacts, and now scientists have to figure out exactly what the area is so devoid of debris that should, in theory, be there. Cassini's second dive is schedule to take place today, and should produce some more interesting observations about Saturn and its rings, so we'll just have to wait and see.

| Man's gluten-free meal on his 9-hour flight leaves a lot to be desired Posted: 03 May 2017 09:17 AM PDT  The airlines are at it again, folks. The gluten-free breakfast option for a nine-hour flight on All Nippon Airways is apparently an exquisite single banana served with packets of salt and pepper and I am getting hungry just thinking about it! Man who ordered gluten-free meal on flight is given a single banana – and cutlery to eat it with https://t.co/GYC3cKBqPD pic.twitter.com/QbpSXxPMiA — The Telegraph (@Telegraph) May 3, 2017 SEE ALSO: Airline crew casually help woman deliver a baby 42,000 feet in the air London resident Martin Pavelka was on a flight from Tokyo to Sydney when he received this gourmet breakfast in plain view of seething jealous passengers who all had to settle for huge meals of eggs, sausage, mushrooms, bread, and yogurt. "When the stewardess came to me, she said 'we've got a special meal for you' and I got the banana," Mr. Pavelka said to the Standard. "This was a nine-hour flight. Although definitely gluten free, the banana did not keep me full for very long. At the price I paid, you would expect something more than that." The banana was also served with a knife and fork, which is apparently how one eats a banana. "As a coeliac, I always order gluten-free meal on my flights. Sometimes they are bland, sometimes they are actually much better than the ordinary meal service," he told the Standard. "On this flight, I was left literally speechless." So if you're gluten-free and flying All Nippon Airways, remember to pack your own meal.
