| Turkey presses Saudi to say who sent Khashoggi killers: Erdogan Posted: 30 Oct 2018 05:20 AM PDT  Saudi prosecutor Saud Al Mojeb held talks with Istanbul's prosecutor on Monday and Tuesday about Khashoggi's death in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, which has escalated into a crisis for the world's top oil exporter. Riyadh at first denied any knowledge of, or role in, his disappearance four weeks ago but Mojeb has contradicted those statements, saying the killing of Khashoggi, a critic of de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was premeditated. The case has put into focus the West's close relationship with Saudi Arabia - a major arms buyer and lynchpin of Washington's regional plans to contain Iran - given the widespread scepticism over its initial response.

| Nature pushed to the brink by 'runaway consumption' Posted: 29 Oct 2018 05:09 PM PDT  Unbridled consumption has decimated global wildlife, triggered a mass extinction and exhausted Earth's capacity to accommodate humanity's expanding appetites, the conservation group WWF warned Tuesday. From 1970 to 2014, 60 percent of all animals with a backbone -- fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals -- were wiped out by human activity, according to WWF's "Living Planet" report, based on an ongoing survey of more than 4,000 species spread over 16,700 populations scattered across the globe. "The situation is really bad, and it keeps getting worse," WWF International director general Marco Lambertini told AFP.

| Guy tries to shoo cat off his car, breaks windshield instead Posted: 29 Oct 2018 12:18 PM PDT  Viral Hog shared a video on Monday of a man attempting to shoo a cat off his car by kicking his windshield. Of course! Always the right way to go about something like this. Naturally, things did not go as planned. One kick wasn't quite enough to get the cat to move, so he gave the windshield another forceful kick, resulting in a sizable crack. "I was resting in the car when a cat approached the front windshield," the man — whose identity is concealed — told Viral Hog. "I wanted to scare him with my foot but apparently, I hit the glass way too hard and the glass broke." Probably best to just get out of the vehicle and shoo the cat in the future. Or better yet, just let the little fuzzball hang out if you're not in a rush to go anywhere.

| Bolsonaro Gets Brazilian Oil Windfall With Output Poised to Soar Posted: 29 Oct 2018 08:00 PM PDT  After a decade of stagnant production, Brazil's offshore mega-projects are about to deliver a double whammy with exports set to surge and Brent prices comfortably above $70 a barrel. This means more revenue for a country beset with fiscal deficits, and more activity in a key industry, said Decio Oddone, the head of Brazil's National Petroleum Agency. The oil turnaround gives the government more than just cash -- it promises to revive the fortunes of Petrobras, the much-maligned state-controlled state oil company that's a source of pride for many Brazilians but which has spent the past few years mired in scandal.

| Ideal timing between pregnancies is at least one year: study Posted: 29 Oct 2018 05:06 PM PDT  Women who want to bear children in their 30s and 40s often face a dilemma regarding how much time to wait between pregnancies. Doctors often advise they wait 18 to 24 months. A study Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), based on 150,000 pregnancies in Canada from 2004 to 2014, concludes that waiting less than a year between pregnancies raises the risks, regardless of a woman's age.

| Some good news: Doughnut the 28-pound cat has a new home Posted: 29 Oct 2018 08:30 AM PDT  Move over Bruno: Another thicc cat's found his happy home. The enormous 28-pound cat's name is Doughnut, and the internet fell in love with him on Friday when the Jacksonville Humane Society posted photos of him on Facebook. OH LAWD HE COMIN! #chonk pic.twitter.com/ZeZc0iI9A3 — Jax Humane Society (@jaxhumane) October 26, 2018 According to the original post showing off all of Doughnut's curves, one requirement for his new home was "an owner who is willing to keep him on his strict diet." They acknowledged that while many of us might like a chunky cat, it's really not very healthy for Doughnut to be that overweight. "His new family will need to work with a vet to get him to the right weight at the right pace," the post stressed. But all is well, according to a recent Facebook update sharing that Doughnut is now in a happy home with a new owner. The Jacksonville Humane Society Facebook page said that pictures of the cat in his new home will be posted soon. Hopefully by the time we get new photos of Doughnut, he'll look a little slimmer. After all, a healthy cat is a happy cat. We all wish Doughnut the best of luck on his weight-loss journey.

| 8 days until the midterm elections: Where things stand Posted: 28 Oct 2018 09:01 PM PDT  Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., has one big advantage over his opponent, Democratic challenger Kathy Manning: The 13th District's map was intentionally drawn to privilege Republicans. Budd defended gerrymandering, saying that unless the Supreme Court says otherwise, "it is constitutional to politically gerrymander." Gerrymandering, which has helped Democrats in the past, is more likely to help Republicans this time because the GOP controlled the redistricting process in more states after the 2010 census. Two-term Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., is spending much of her reelection campaign's final stretch stumping in and around heavily Republican Webster County, which President Trump won by nearly 80 percent of the vote two years ago.

| The Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre Is Not a Federal Case Posted: 29 Oct 2018 03:30 AM PDT ![The Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre Is Not a Federal Case]( "The Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre Is Not a Federal Case") Overregulation includes Washington's criminalization of too much conduct that should not be made illegal (or at least should not be subject to criminal prosecution) or that should be left to the states to prosecute. The federal role, particularly in the administration of criminal justice, is supposed to be limited to activity that is interstate or international in nature, or that affects some obvious federal interest (such as assaults on federal officials). The public cares about crime, especially such shocking crime as Saturday's massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, in which an anti-Semitic gunman, Robert Bowers, killed eleven people and wounded six others, including four police officers who responded to the shooting spree.

The "Shaky Isles" lived up to their name as the royal roadshow moved to Auckland from Wellington, where the national parliament was temporarily suspended when a deep 6.2-magnitude tremor hit the central North Island. Reporters travelling with Harry and Meghan said they did not feel the mid-afternoon quake and the royals proceeded as planned with a walkabout on the Auckland waterfront.
