GOP House member walks back remark that ‘nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care’ Posted: 08 May 2017 10:42 AM PDT Labrador had claimed during a Friday town hall that people don't die because of health care access. "I don't mandate anything," Labrador responded. After the comments caught fire, Labrador posted a clarifying statement on Facebook saying his remark was an attempt "to explain that all hospitals are required by law to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay and that the Republican plan does not change that." Labrador also tried to deflect criticism by pointing out that the back-and-forth picked up came at the end of a longer exchange, which he posted in full.

Erdogan says US debates over Jerusalem embassy move 'wrong' Posted: 08 May 2017 09:36 AM PDT Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday said debates over the possibility of moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem are "extremely wrong" and should be dropped. US President Donald Trump had promised during his campaign to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, whose status is one of the thorniest issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Speaking at a forum in Istanbul, Erdogan said everyone should be careful on issues that concerned the status of Jerusalem, warning that even "relocating a stone" in the city could have serious implications.

John Oliver calls on the internet to save itself by flooding the FCC with comments Posted: 08 May 2017 07:59 AM PDT As the new FCC Chairman Ajit Pai plans to take a "weed whacker" to net neutrality regulations, John Oliver asked internet commenters everywhere for their help on Sunday. To give users an easy way to voice their displeasure of Pai's plan to repeal the classification of the internet as a common carrier, he's taken out the domain name gofccyourself.com, which is a direct link to the site to send comments. So many comments flooded in that, by Sunday, it appeared that the site was already overloaded. Back in 2014 when the FCC was considering new net neutrality rules, Oliver called for the same kind of action from his viewers on Last Week Tonight. The FCC's website crashed, Oliver's segment brought unprecedented attention to the issue, and the commission decided to reclassify internet service as a common carrier.  Watch Oliver slam Pai, explain and defend net neutrality, and patriotically address Reddit commenters, Yelpers, and his own haters in this segment from Last Week Tonight.

Macron wins French presidency by emphatic margin: projections Posted: 07 May 2017 11:03 AM PDT By Sudip Kar-Gupta PARIS (Reuters) - Emmanuel Macron was elected president of France on Sunday with a business-friendly vision of European integration, defeating Marine Le Pen, a far-right nationalist who threatened to take France out of the European Union, early projections showed. The centrist's emphatic victory, which also smashed the dominance of France's mainstream parties, will bring huge relief to European allies who had feared another populist upheaval to follow Britain's vote to quit the EU and Donald Trump's election as U.S. president.

The animal was caught mid-feast by a motion-sensitive camera at the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility at Texas State University, a 26-acre area where forensic scientists study how human bodies decompose in the wild.

Euro rallies after Macron wins French presidency Posted: 07 May 2017 08:59 PM PDT The euro briefly rallied to a six-month high against the dollar Monday after pro-European centrist Emmanuel Macron's victory in the French presidential election eased concerns about the country's future in the eurozone. The single currency touched $1.1023, its highest level since November and up from $1.0998 on Friday after the 39-year-old former investment banker beat far-right rival Marine Le Pen. The vote effectively eliminates any risk of France leaving the single currency bloc -- a departure advocated by the eurosceptic Le Pen.

House Republicans face fiery town halls following healthcare vote Posted: 09 May 2017 03:00 AM PDT Perhaps no town hall will be watched as closely as that of Tom MacArthur, a moderate who helped craft a compromise that ensured support from conservatives.

The tiny box that gives you free home phone service for life is Amazon’s deal of the day Posted: 07 May 2017 09:59 AM PDT Since pretty much everyone over the age of 12 has a smartphone these days, home phone service has become less and less important.

Jakarta governor: popular leader targeted by hardline anger Posted: 09 May 2017 04:50 AM PDT Jakarta's Christian governor, who was jailed for blasphemy Tuesday, won much praise for his efforts to clean up the traffic-choked megacity but his popularity could not save him from Islamic hardliners angered by his comments about the Koran. With his outspoken, combative style and can-do attitude, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama cut an unusual figure among the political elite in Muslim-majority Indonesia, where politicians typically take a more gentle, persuasive approach. The 50-year-old -- known by his nickname Ahok -- regularly railed against corruption in one of the world's most graft-ridden countries and led sting operations to catch lazy bureaucrats, drawing praise from a public weary of the city's inefficiences.

U.S. life expectancy varies by two decades depending on location Posted: 08 May 2017 11:32 AM PDT By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) - Even as life expectancy is rising in many places across the U.S., there are some places where lifespans are getting shorter and geographical inequalities are becoming more pronounced, a new study suggests. Nationwide in 2014, the average life expectancy was about 79.1 years, up 5.3 years from 1980, the study found. For men, life expectancy climbed from 70 years to 76.7 years, while for women it increased from 77.5 years to 81.5 years.

Libya forces advance on last jihadist bastions in Benghazi Posted: 08 May 2017 06:36 AM PDT Forces loyal to Libya's military strongman Khalifa Haftar on Monday launched an offensive to oust jihadist from their last two strongholds in second city Benghazi, they said. Forces loyal to Haftar, who does not recognise a UN-backed unity government in Tripoli and backs a rival parliament, have retaken most of the coastal city since it was overrun by jihadists in 2014. Riadh Chehibi, an officer in Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army, said the forces advanced in the central district of Al-Sabri and Souq al-Hout area near the port, where jihadists are surrounded.

The iPhone 8 design everybody hates is back Posted: 08 May 2017 07:02 AM PDT There are two kinds of iPhone 8 design leaks out in the wild right now, and they're fairly similar except for one critical feature: the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. A new report indicates that Apple may be forced to go with the safer approach, which unfortunately just so happens to be the one that everybody hates. Apple wants to integrate the Touch ID sensor within the layers of the new OLED screen, various reports have said, but the nascent technology may not be ready in time for this year's flagship iPhone 8. Hong Kong-based equity research firm CLSA wrote in a note to investors seen by MacRumors that Apple may end up placing the sensor on the back of the handset instead. "iPhone to ditch fingerprint sensor? We don't think so," CLSA analysts Sebastian Hou and Brian Chen wrote. "Both Samsung and Apple tried to enable in-display fingerprint sensing on full-screen OLED phones in 2017, but their optical tech seems immature and the major iPhone 8 bottleneck." The note continued, "Some thus speculate the fingerprint sensor will be removed and replaced by 3D sensing. Our latest supply chain checks indicate the iPhone 8 will still have the sensor given security, user-friendliness, and a need for payments infrastructure, but there is a high chance it will be on the back like Samsung's Galaxy S8." CLSA went ahead and created a diagram of the iPhone 8, as seen above. The company believes Apple will use an all-screen design for the handset, and that it'll feature an advanced 3D face recognition system on the front as well as a vertical dual-lens camera on the back. The schematic above looks similar to some of the recent leaks that hit the web. Designer Benjamin Geskin created a concept iPhone 8 based on the image above. Here it is — and let's just hope that it's way off base, because the front of the phone is hideous at the top, not to mention the fact that it would introduce several new manufacturing hurdles: A report on Monday said the iPhone 8 will not be delayed, although it made no mention of the phone's design or the Touch ID sensor's location.

Donald Trump impeachment probe resolution passed by Los Angeles council Posted: 07 May 2017 10:00 AM PDT A major US city has passed a resolution calling on Congress to investigate if any of Donald Trump's actions warrant impeachment. Los Angeles Council member Bob Blumenfield spearheaded the move, which the council backed by 10 votes to zero.

Top lab CERN launches key new accelerator Posted: 09 May 2017 08:17 AM PDT Europe's top physics lab CERN launched its newest particle accelerator on Tuesday, billed as a key step towards future experiments that could unlock the universe's greatest mysteries.

Samsung may have lied about how fast the Galaxy S8’s storage really is Posted: 08 May 2017 12:02 PM PDT The Galaxy S8 is a phone that's supposed to double down on quality, since it's the first flagship to come out after last year's Galaxy Note 7 disaster. So far, there have not been any major issues with the handset, although Galaxy S8 users have witnessed various minor problems with the phone such as the screen's red tint, Wi-Fi connectivity troubles, and unexpected restarts. But now, a new report indicates that Samsung may have been lying to you about one of the phone's most important components. The Galaxy S8 features built-in UFS 2.1 storage, which is Samsung's fastest flash storage for mobile devices. However, SamMobile discovered that Samsung has quietly removed the mention of UFS 2.1 storage from the Galaxy S8's specifications page. Initially, Samsung's Galaxy S8 page said the Galaxy S8 phones ship with UFS 2.1 storage, although a fine print said that storage "may differ by country and carrier." Samsung has since removed the UFS 2.1 mention completely. Galaxy S8 buyers posting on xda-developers discovered that the Galaxy S8 version that is powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor gets slower UFS 2.0 storage. Yes, that's the US version of Samsung's new flagship phone, which we've already seen is slower than the global model. SamMobile adds that the UFS 2.1 storage delivers 800MB/s sequential read speeds, which is 300MB/s quicker than UFS 2.0's performance. That's not to say you'll notice any performance issues with UFS 2.0 memory during regular use. After all, previous Galaxy S versions also shipped with UFS 2.0 storage on board. But it doesn't mean that Samsung should be able to quietly change that particular detail, especially since many people reporting on and/or reviewing the phone may have delivered wrong information about the phone — that it sports high-speed UFS 2.1 storage when that's not always the case. Samsung isn't the only company to have been caught lying about a phone's specs. In fact just a few weeks ago, Huawei had to publicly address similar criticism. The company's CEO Richard Yu explained that the company used slower eMMC flash and high-speed UFS storage in the Huawei P10 because of component shortages. However, the Chinese smartphone maker also advertised its latest smartphone as a device that would deliver speedy UFS storage, before removing the mention of UFS memory from its website.

Donald Trump's health secretary defends White House party for mostly white men Posted: 07 May 2017 04:31 PM PDT Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary has responded to criticism over an apparent lack of diversity at a White House party held to celebrate the US President's new healthcare bill – by claiming at least two women were present. Tom Price claimed several woman were "leading in this area of healthcare" after a photo of the gathering drew criticism for showing an almost entirely white, male crowd celebrating the passing of Mr Trump's American Health Care Act, which opponents say will have a disproportionately negative impact on women. Asked about the image during an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, Mr Price said: "Look at that picture: Congresswoman Diane Black, the chair of the Budget Committee – I was standing next to her.

Pressure on Shekau, Buhari's health led to Chibok girls' release Posted: 08 May 2017 12:58 PM PDT Military pressure, in-fighting within Boko Haram and Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari's health combined to secure the release of 82 kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls, sources said Monday. The latest batch of the more than 200 schoolgirls abducted in April 2014 were freed Saturday in a prisoner swap for three senior jihadist commanders, all of them Chadian nationals. A source with contacts among the Islamist militants under leader Abubakar Shekau said the students were handed over in a forest to the northeast of the town of Banki, on the border with Cameroon, after months of talks.
