"Iranian women's soccer captain Niloufar Ardalan will not be present at the Asian Cup, as her husband has decided to invoke his legal, husbandly right to withhold her passport."

I think it's terrible that he would do that. If it's something she enjoys she should be able to go out and do it. Especially something this important.

this is totally legal but not ethical, I feel bad for the soccer captain but I'm not entirely on either one side in this particular predicament. I feel if she wants to go badly then she should talk to the husband about it because nobody else can do anything for her right now.

The Washington Post 23 hrs ago Abby Phillip In late August, American Airlines accidentally flew the wrong plane from Los Angeles to Hawaii, a mix-up that violated Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The mistake, first reported by aviation blogger Brian Sumers, occurred on Aug.

If that was the wrong plane to fly then why was it there? You'd also think that they would realize that it's the wrong plane before take off or shortly after take off.

I wondered what happen to him.

They could have tranquilize the emu.

It was right to kill the animal because it was a threat to humans

The Ebola virus outbreak that's ravaging West Africa probably started with a single infected person, a new genetic analysis shows. This West African variant can be traced genetically to a single introduction, perhaps a person infected by a bat, researchers report in the journal Science.

That's crazy that it started to pop up in Central Africa around 2004 but is just now spreading like wildfire over there and coming to the US.

Three unidentified, unauthorized persons entered Bacha Khan University in Charsada, Pakistan Wednesday, Pakistani state media reports. The university, located in northwest Pakistan, is cordoned off and by police and security personnel, according to PTV.

The charges reportedly do not relate to Turing Pharmaceuticals, the company that raised the price of the drug Daraprim by more than 5,000%. Instead, they center on his time as CEO of Retrophin , another biotech company that ousted him last year.

The officer, 33, was shot Tuesday night while responding to reports of a man with a gun in the area, Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said. He was the fourth officer killed in New York City in 11 months, Bratton said. Holder, who is married, joined the department in 2010.

In the story, Times reporter Jonathan Mahler asserted that it was "impossible to know what was true and what wasn't" about the saga of the hunt for bin Laden and his death in Pakistan, a story that he asserted is now "floating somewhere between fact and mythology."

Thanks to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' proud identification as a Democratic Socialist and allusion to Denmark as an ideal social democracy, Denmark is being discussed throughout the news media. But what few outlets are brave enough to report is that, by almost every measurable standard, Danish socialism runs circles around American capitalism.

I do think the Danish economy makes things run smoother for the people and it would make the United States better by taking on some of those socialist ideas. It would require higher taxes but I think it would pay off in the future
