The massacre in Littleton, Colorado, shocked the nation, and prompted years of news coverage seeking to piece together the truth about what drove the killers and tell the stories of those who survived their rampage. At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, inspiring copycat attacks, but it has since been surpassed by several others—the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018 among them....

But last month Charren received a cruel jolt. A study of the legislation’s impact by a coalition of consumer groups found a shocking lack of compliance. Instead of cleaning up their kidvid acts, the bulk of the 58 stations surveyed are just cranking out the same old sludge–only now they’re claiming that the sludge is educational and informational. Ironically, in their applications for license renewal, some of the stations showed exactly the sort of creativity missing from their kidvid programs....

The K-1 Base in Kirkuk was targeted Friday by a barrage of rocket artillery killing a Pentagon contractor and wounding several U.S. service members and Iraqi personnel on-site, Defense Department officials told Newsweek. Shortly after the attack, a Katyusha multiple launch rocket system was found abandoned not far from the base, said a senior Pentagon official speaking on condition of anonymity. Roughly 11 to 14 struck the base, according to an early estimate....

There was always an epicurean aspect to Cousteau’s explorations, a sensual delight in his own discoveries. You could see it in the way he smiled and laughed. This is how he described his first dive of 60 feet: ““I experimented with all possible maneuvers - loops, somersaults and barrel rolls… Delivered from gravity and buoyancy, I flew around in space.’’ The bland note-takers of academic oceanography occasionally criticized his methodology and sniffed at his lack of formal credentials....

Their estimates come as a new, more infectious variant of COVID from the U.K., which was first identified in Colorado in late December, has emerged in a total of eight states: the Centennial State itself, Texas, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, California, Florida, New York, and Georgia. However, the variant is likely in more states than currently known, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told Newsweek on Tuesday....

In a now-viral TikTok video that has been viewed more than 20 million times, the story of Mango’s rescue was posted by user @lalibae_ and people can’t get enough of the kitten’s progress. The video begins with TikToker @lalibae_ finding Mango in her backyard. With the song When She Loved Me by Rosalind playing in the background, Mango can be seen cowering and then hissing when @lalibae_ approached him with food....

The reports, which provided daily summaries of the coronavirus’ death toll throughout the city’s five boroughs, recorded an upward trend in coronavirus-related fatalities over the course of three days. On Thursday night, March 26, the city reported 365 deaths from COVID-19 infection. By Friday evening, the total had risen to 450. It had climbed to 672 by Saturday evening and 776 by Sunday. Calculations drawn from those figures equate to one death per 11....

Still, the Pakistani opposition leader, who had survived an assassination attempt on her return to Pakistan in October, was keenly aware that her life was at risk. Bhutto told Weymouth that she had been warned that a second attempt would be made on her life on or around Dec. 21. She was highly critical of President Pervez Musharraff, claiming he had allowed the Taliban and Al Qaeda to regroup and spread throughout Pakistan....

But it’ complicated. The pre-1971 Stones catalog–with all those great ’60s singles–is controlled by legendary mogul Allen Klein’s ABKCO company. The later songs–including the peaks and valleys of the ’70s and the creative trough thereafter–are owned by EMI/Virgin. EMI, with the Stones’ blessing, is happy to both “stream” the songs (letting customers listen to them jukebox style) and to sell the songs online. Klein has been wary of the Internet, and ABKCO is authorizing only streaming of its Stones songs....

Frankie Towery, who started the petition, said she regards McKamey Manor as a “kidnapping and torture house” because she said people are not permitted to immediately leave when they ask to do so. By Tuesday afternoon, more than 43,000 people signed her petition. “They do screenings to find the weakest, most easily manipulated people to do the ‘haunt’ and if Russ doesn’t think you’re easily manipulated, you aren’t allowed to go,” Towery said in the petition....

Participation in online poker in New Jersey has so far been a dud. WSOP, 888, PartyPoker and others have been unable to meet expectations and other sites, like Ultimate Poker, have already ceased operations.

The university surveyed 600 Florida residents, fielded from July 30 to August 10, who were selected using a “stratified, quota sampling approach in order to ensure a representative sample of Florida’s population,” the report noted. The survey showed 7.8 percent would “strongly oppose” statewide school closures, while 6.8 percent would “somewhat oppose” it. Thirteen percent of those surveyed said they “neither support nor oppose” school closures this fall, the report said....

While a third of Republican respondents told pollsters they do not intend to get the vaccine, 36 percent said they will and 31 percent said they aren’t yet sure. The poll found a sharp divide between Republicans and Democrats, with independents leaning toward the Republican viewpoint. Only 12 percent of Democrats said they will not get vaccinated, while 58 percent said they will and nearly a third—30 percent—said they’re not sure....

Dennis Rodman once signed books in a wedding dressed so the element of surprise is low when it comes to seeing him in women's clothing and makeup. Spotting Rodman in full drag queen regalia on the basketball court is new, however, even for Rodman. In Argentina for the Legends of Basketball Tour 2014, Rodman wore heavy purple makeup and spiked blonde hair during the game.

A moment later, a deafening blast—“as if the whole world exploded”—ripped through the garden outside Elmakias’s home, near the northern Israeli suburb of Nahariya. Amid the shrieks of his wife and three children, the family tumbled together to the floor. The blast, a rocket launched by the Lebanese Islamist group Hizbullah, shattered light bulbs and windows and ripped doors off their hinges. Elmakias tried to comfort his three children, stroking the head of his 6-year-old daughter, Liran....

The lanky forward’s goal came in the 73rd - after he benefitted from a Gustav Wikheim assist - to lead Jess Thorup’s side to their fourth consecutive win in the division. Onuachu’s effort at the Sydbank Park was his seventh in nine league encounters, 11th in 15 appearances in all competitions this season. The 23-year-old was taken off in the 89th minute while compatriot, Rilwan Hassan was replaced by goal provider, Wikheim in the 20th minute after he was at the receiving end of a hard tackle....

Over the past quarter century, Pakistan has played host to, and treated honorably, more refugees than any other country in the developing world. That’s saying a lot for one of the world’s poorest nations. Since the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, Pakistan has housed, fed and educated more than 5 million refugees, mainly Afghans, without isolating them and confining them to fetid, overcrowded camps. Rather, refugees have been allowed to attend school or to work as day laborers....

American Collin Morikawa is the reigning champion and will defend his title against a talent-stacked field. Rory McIlroy is in prime form and hoping to end an eight-year wait for his fifth career major, while England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick is aiming to follow up his breakthrough U.S. Open success with another strong performance. Overall, there are 156 players taking part and here is the full rundown. Open Championship 2022: Full 156-player field for St....

That was abundantly apparent in seeing Cooney held to 5 points in the Orange’s 62-59 loss in overtime to Boston College —his lowest total in 13 ACC games. He made just 2-of-8 shots, including 1-of-6 from distance. The amount of attention paid to Cooney has very much affected his shooting percentages. He entered conference play shooting 49.6 percent from the floor and 50 percent from 3-point land. Now those respective percentages are 39 percent and 35 percent....
