Storms briefly leave thousands without power - Houston Chronicle

Saturday's storms left about 128,000 residents without power and more than 150 motorists needing rescues from the Houston Fire Department. "People just drive off into it and they don't realize how deep it is and the car stalls," said HFD spokesman Jay Evans. Evans said the department dispatched dump trucks to south Houston, where the storms were most severe, in case neighborhoods had to be evacuated, but that was not necessary. He said no fatalities were reported connected to the deluge. CenterPoint Energy crews continued to work Sunday repairing downed lines and transformers, mostly in Bellaire and South Houston, said Penny Todd, a spokeswoman for the electricity service company. The storm left 128,000 households without power at different times, she said. At its peak, about 35,000 people were without power and 11,000 were still affected at noon Sunday. Pooling water shorted out transformers on the ground and high winds pulling down limbs severed power line

Lakers give fans white towels before must-win Game 4 vs. Spurs (which they lost) - Yahoo! Canada Sports (blog)

How confident were the Los Angeles Lakers that they'd stave off elimination at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 on Sunday night? Check out the pump-up favor they handed out to fans who came out to the Staples Center to root on the home team: Well, then. (Image via @DuranSports) On one hand, yes, the white giveaway towel matches the white home uniforms that the Lakers have long worn during Sunday afternoon Staples Center contests; in that respect, it was an extension of a fun, respected element of tradition and beloved Laker lore. On the other, there's something less than rousing about giving fans an item that can serve as both a white flag to wave and a towel to throw in before a do-or-die Game 4 that came after three games in which the Spurs flat-out dominated the Lakers, including a crushing 31-point Game 3 win. Not exactly "Once more into the breach, dear friends"-caliber stuff, right? As it turned out, the outgunned, overmatched and injury-pl

LivingSocial Hacked, 50M Accounts Affected - PC Magazine

April 26, 2013 05:41pm EST Daily deals site LivingSocial on Friday afternoon disclosed that it suffered a major cyber attack on its computer systems that resulted in unauthorized access to customer data. More than 50 million accounts were potentially affected by the cyberattack, a LivingSocial spokesman confirmed to PCMag. The hackers had access to users' names, email addresses, birthdates, and encrypted passwords. On a more positive note, customer credit card and merchant financial information were not accessed in the attack. LivingSocial on Friday began sending data breach notification emails to all affected customers noting that the company is working with law enforcement to investigate the attack. Though passwords were encrypted, and would be difficult for attackers to decode, LivingSocial has reset all affected users' passwords as a security precaution. The breach appears to have impacted customers in all the countries in which LivingSocial operates, with the ex

Could a blood test tetect autism? Study aims to answer - Fox News

A simple blood test might be able to reveal whether a child has autism, according to researchers who recently launched a study to evaluate such a test. The study, which began this week and involves 660 participants at 20 facilities around the United States, will examine whether the test can accurately distinguish between�children who have autism�and children who have other developmental delays, the researchers said. MORE FROM MY HEALTH NEWS DAILY: Beyond Vaccines: 5 Things that Might Really Cause Autism 10 Ways to Promote Kids' Healthy Eating Habits 10 Celebrities with Chronic Illnesses While the blood test by itself cannot diagnose an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the researchers hope it will speed up the time it takes to diagnose the condition, which can be a lengthy process. "If a blood test could indicate ASD risk, it would help families and physicians know when to refer children to an ASD expert, potentially leading to earlier treatment and better outcomes,&qu

Dolphins trade up to No. 3 pick, select Oregon DE Dion Jordan - Yahoo! Canada Sports (blog)

The Miami Dolphins have acquired the No. 3 overall pick of the 2013 NFL draft from the Oakland Raiders and used that pick to select University of Oregon pass-rusher Dion Jordan. In exchange for trading down, the Raiders have received the No. 12 overall pick as well as the first of Miami's two picks in the second-round of this year's draft, the No. 42 overall selection. [Photos: Best and worst dressed at NFL draft] The 6-foot-6, 248-pound Jordan played all over the place at Oregon and projected as either an outside linebacker or defensive end in the NFL. The Dolphins moved to a 4-3 defense in 2012 and Jordan, who was the No. 8 player on the "Shutdown 50", is expected to play defensive end in Kevin Coyle's system. Miami's defense produced 42 sacks in 2012, the seventh-most total in the NFL. Jordan, who had 14.5 sacks and 29 tackles for a loss, brings a dynamic play-making presence, though he'll most likely begin his career as a pass-rush specialist

Can You Hear Me Now? Cellphone Satellites Phone Home - NPR

Three PhoneSats, like the one seen here during a high-altitude balloon test, were launched into space on Sunday. The slightly modified cellphone satellites cost a few thousand dollars in parts. NASA Ames Research Center Smartphones can check e-mail, record videos and even stream NPR. Now NASA has discovered they make pretty decent satellites, too. Three smart phones launched into space this past Sunday are orbiting above us even now, transmitting data and images back to Earth. The PhoneSats, which cost just a few thousand dollars each, could usher in big changes for the satellite industry. The PhoneSats started as a project among young engineers working at the NASA Ames Research Center in California. Jim Cockrell, the project's manager, says it began as a hallway conversation. One noted that smartphone microprocessors are cheaper than those in satellites. So why not just use a smartphone as a satellite? ' [The young engineers] don't know what they can't do; th

Revealed: the man deported from Saudi Arabia for being too handsome - The Week UK

WITH HIS dreamy eyes, well-groomed beard and razor-sharp cheekbones, Omar Borkan Al Gala is undeniably handsome. And according to US website Jezebel�he's one of three men who were deported�last week from Saudi Arabia - reportedly because of his good looks. The first images of the swoonsome Dubai-based actor and photographer emerged after Arabic newspaper Elaph�reported a trio of hunks had been deported from Saudi Arabia over fears women would find them irresistible. The three men, who are all from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), were attending the Jenadrivah Heritage and Culture Festival in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, when religious police 'forcibly' removed them from the event. While we do not know the identity of his studly companions, the incident has done wonders for Al Gala's profile. His Facebook page�is filled with invites to foreign countries from women promising he won't be deported. Here's a four-minute video demonstrating just how seriously h

3. Luis Figo: Barcelona to Real Madrid - Goal.com India

Players whose release clause was activated 3. Luis Figo: Barcelona to Real Madrid This transfer was perhaps one of the most widely covered ones in football history. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez had just started to implement his much vaunted 'Galacticos' policy where the planet's best players were to play for Real Madrid. In 2000, Luis Figo made the move from Barcelona to their bitter rivals Madrid after the capital club activated his '��60 million buy-out clause. The move, as expected, did not go down well with the Catalan fans who refer to this as the ultimate betrayal. The Portuguese international received a hostile reception at Camp Nou during a league match in 2002 when a pig's head was thrown at him from the crowd. Figo won the La Liga titles in 2001 and 2003 along with a Champions League title in his time with the Los Blancos.

Ella Fitzgerald, with unerring sense of swing, conquered jazz - Los Angeles Times

Today's Google Doodle celebrates the first lady of song, Ella Fitzgerald, on what would have been her 96th birthday. The stylized doodle puts her in the spotlight on stage leading a quartet. Fitzgerald became the preeminent female jazz singer of her time thanks to her unflagging sense of swing, her skill at scatting and meticulous diction that always allowed lyrics to come through clearly. She recorded with most of the great bandleaders and instrumentalists of her time, including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Chick Webb and Mel Torme. PHOTOS: Google Doodle's of 2013 Fitzgerald was born April 25, 1917, in Newport News, Va., and got her first break at age 17, winning an amateur talent contest at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. For a woman who became one of the most celebrated African American singers in history, she started out emulating Connie Boswell, a white singer from New Orleans who performed with her siblings in the Boswell Sisters.

Poland Prioritizes Cheap Power in Shift Away From Coal - Bloomberg

Poland is prioritizing low-cost electricity as it revamps its energy policy and shifts away from its reliance on coal-fired generation, the nation's environment minister said. Marcin Korolec said he'd like to phase out subsidies for both clean power and fossil fuels, though the country must also replace aging power stations including some that are more than 40 years old. 'We are in quite a big crisis,' Korolec said yesterday at a Bloomberg New Energy Finance conference in New York. 'We need new investment, but we are living in this paradigm of expensive energy prices. We are facing tremendous questions. Technology will answer the question, and price will answer it.' The comments indicate how Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government will balance demands to meet European Commission environment rules while limiting electricity costs. The Commission has censured Poland for its delays in implementing mandates for renewable energy, and the government this

CISPA 2013 Blackout Staged By Anonymous Doesn't Go As Planned (UPDATE) - Huffington Post

Notice anything different about the Internet on Monday? Unfortunately for Anonymous, you probably didn't. Anonymous called for an Internet blackout to protest CISPA, a cybersecurity bill currently making its way through Congress, on Monday. And while over 300 websites are participating, the blackout isn't really making its presence felt, since most of the sites blacking out are quite small. The largest site taking part in the protest of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, known as CISPA, is Reddit, though the entire website isn't blacking out.

Samsung Galaxy S4 review: It's better than you'll ever notice - NBCNews.com

Rosa Golijan , NBC News � '� � 8 hrs. When it came to creating a successor to the incredibly popular Galaxy S III, Samsung took the approach of a skilled yet over-zealous pastry chef: If they liked the last treat, they'll love a bigger one this time ... with more icing ... and sprinkles! And that's basically what the Galaxy S 4 is. It bears an incredible resemblance to its predecessor, but is bigger, thinner, faster and stuffed with so many features, you probably won't use half of them '� or even know they're there. So Samsung took what could be considered the best Android device on the market, made it thinner and added a slightly larger (and better) screen to it. It threw in a nice 13-megapixel camera and some snazzy controls. Photos turn out better than they do on the GSIII (though, just like with the iPhone 5, the camera still has a problem shooting in low light). Samsung also upgraded that pesky skin that the company feels compelled to use to hide

Champions League: A semi-detached Jose Mourinho aims for third time lucky ... - The Independent

The future goes on hold this evening at Borussia Dortmund's Westfalenstadion as Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid go into their third consecutive Champions League semi-final together. The dual European Cup-winning coach asked for football to be fair to his twice-beaten semi-finalist players. Thoughts of Mourinho's next club and Real Madrid's next move were both put to one side as he responded to a question about how his team would cope with the fear of falling at another semi-final hurdle. "I combat anxiety by never having it," he said. "Let those who have anxiety worry about how to deal with it. I don't have it. It's another game, a big one that can take us to the final but it's another game." Asked who his goalkeeper would be he reeled off his entire starting XI, confirming Diego Lopez and Gonzalo Higuain would start ahead of Iker Casillas and Karim Benzema, and admitting only one doubt '� Angel Di Maria, who had been allowed extr

Automakers Go West in China to Thin Margins, Fat Growth - Bloomberg

Each time An Fu Ford, a dealership in the western Chinese city of Chongqing, sells a car, workers fire a confetti cannon, showering the parking lot with colorful scraps of paper. There's a lot of paper to sweep up these days. Car sales in western China are expanding twice as fast as in the country's wealthy coastal cities, according to auto consultant Dunne & Co. in Shanghai. That growth has foreign automakers -- urged by the government in Beijing to 'Go West' -- racing to increase production in an area where they can quickly increase sales, but where margins are likely to be squeezed as they sell to less affluent buyers. In Chongqing, a vast inland metropolis sometimes called the Chicago of China, Ford Motor Co. (F) is expanding a facility it opened with a local partner in 2001. By mid-decade, Chongqing will be the Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker's largest production complex in the world, with three plants capable of assembling a total of more than

By Elizabeth Chuck, Staff Writer, NBC News As authorities closed in on the Boston Marathon bombing suspects -- one of whom was killed during a violent shootout in Boston's Watertown suburb early Friday -- Twitter and other social media outlets lit up with outtakes from police scanner reports, including a moment when eavesdropping tweeters heard the name of a missing Brown University student come over the airwaves in conjunction with the Monday attacks. "Police on scanner identify the names of #BostonMarathon suspects in gunfight, Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta.
