Illinois man told to stop having ‘slumber parties’ in his house for homeless people Posted: 04 Jan 2018 11:31 AM PST A Chicago man is being warned by city officials to stop offering "slumber parties" at his home to homeless people or else his house will be condemned. Greg Schiller told NBC 5 he began opening his basement up to the homeless last month during brutally cold weather. "While we appreciate those who volunteer to provide additional resources in the community, Mr. Schiller's house does not comply with codes and regulations that guard against potential dangers such as carbon monoxide poisoning, inadequate light and ventilation, and insufficient exits in the event of a fire," Molly Center, a city spokesperson, said. |

Earthquake hits San Francisco, shaking Berkeley awake Posted: 04 Jan 2018 07:34 AM PST San Francisco Bay area residents have been shaken awake by a 4.5-magnitude earthquake, which hit the region in the early hours of Thursday. The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake's epicenter was two miles from Berkeley, California. The earthquake had a preliminary depth of eight miles. No damage or injuries was immediately recorded, but supermarket produce was shaken from its shelves and ceiling panels knocked loose. The quake hit at 2:39am local time, and the USGS website said that people reported feeling the quake 40 miles south, in San Jose. The Did You Feel It? survey form for the Berkeley, CA M4.4 EQ is back up and running: https://t.co/jY2poBayEX Please tell us what you felt. pic.twitter.com/OVb8r4p22q— USGS (@USGS) January 4, 2018 "Felt like a big truck drove into the building or something blew up downstairs. It just rocked the room and bed like two or three times quickly with a decently loud rumble in North Berkeley," Dale Fest wrote on the San Francisco Chronicle's Facebook page . Jack Boatwright, a geophysicist with the USGS Earthquake Science Center in Menlo Park, said the shaking from the quake "seemed a little weak, about half as strong as what you would expect." He told the Chronicle that by 4:15 a.m., there had been no aftershocks, which he called "a good sign. It may mean less likelihood of a larger earthquake to follow." San Francisco sits on the San Andreas Fault, a continental transform fault that extends roughly 750 miles through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The quake was on the Hayward Fault, part of the San Andreas Fault. The Hayward Fault is capable of producing a 7-magnitude fault, which would have caused significantly more damage. Its last major earthquake was a 6.8-magnitude quake, which occurred on October 21st, 1868, destroying downtown Hayward and killing five people, injuring 30. It was considered the "Great Earthquake" until 1906, when San Francisco was hit by its last major quake, which killed 700 people. The region is considered overdue for another quake, given they usually occur every 140 years. |
Pakistan shrugs off impending U.S. aid cuts, wary of harsher measures Posted: 04 Jan 2018 05:21 AM PST By Drazen Jorgic ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan is shrugging off proposed U.S. aid cuts but frets that Washington could take more drastic measures to deter what it sees as the South Asian nation's support for Taliban militants causing chaos in neighboring Afghanistan. Washington plans to imminently slash "security assistance" to Pakistan, U.S. congressional aides told Reuters on Wednesday, although the type, scale and length of the cuts was unclear. A day earlier, the White House said it would suspend about $255 million in already delayed military assistance. |

Three TVs, a phone and a cheeseburger: tell-all book reveals Donald's bedtime Posted: 04 Jan 2018 11:33 PM PST Michael Wolff's new book paints the most detailed portrait yet of life inside the Trump White House. Reported first by the Guardian, then in more detail by New York magazine and other outlets, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House has illuminated what the book suggests is a toxic stew of personal feuding, disorganization and alarming behavior behind the gates of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The president, excerpts suggest, has struggled to feel at home during his first year in power, expressing paranoia about his surroundings and pummeling residence staff with odd requests and rules. |

Indian groom forced by gunpoint into marriage Posted: 05 Jan 2018 06:29 AM PST Indian police are investigating after a groom says he was abducted and forced to marry a woman at gunpoint. Dubbed a literal shotgun wedding, the nuptials took place in the eastern state of Bihar, according to police and video clips that surfaced online on Friday. The family of Vinod Kumar, an engineer at the steel plant in the town of Bokaro, claim he was abducted and coerced into the pakadua vivah, or forced wedding, in Bihar. The case is unusual even for a relatively volatile state like Bihar as the protagonists are from middle-class, urban, high caste families. Typically forced marriage cases involve lower caste, rural families and more often than not the abductee is a bride, not a groom. Although cases are rare, grooms are known to be coerced into marriage to force them to enter legal agreements over property or business with the bride's family, or simply so the woman's relatives do not have to put up an expensive dowry to attract a suitor. Police say Mr Kumar's relatives approached them a few weeks after the incident for protection, as they feared reprisals from a local underworld chief. Mr Kumar's brother also said one of the bride's family was holding a gun during the ceremony. Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj. from Patna, the state capital, then ordered officers to free Kumar from the village where he was kept after the marriage. The groom is currently under police protection and the bride and her relatives are said to be on the run, local media reported. The saga came to light when video clips of the marriage ceremony surfaced this week, showing a distraught Kumar being coerced into performing traditional Hindu wedding rituals. When the 29-year-old engineer refused to put vermillion, the traditional red dye used in Hindu weddings, on the bride's forehead, members of her family are heard saying in the local language of Bhojpuri: "Are you being hanged? We are solemnising your wedding only. Which mountain is being placed on your head?". Kumar's brother Sanjay alleges Surendra Yadav, described as a gangster by local media, orchestrated the events at the behest of the bride's family. News18 interviewed the bride's brother, Umesh Prasad, who denied that it was a forced marriage and said it was a normal wedding. However, he became irritable when asked about the video clips that surfaced on the web, in which the groom was seen being manhandled. "I do not know about any video. He is now opposing this marriage at the behest of his brother. I wish they live a happy married life", said Mr Prasad. Mr Kumar added that local police were unhelpful, which is why he went to the police in Patna. Mr Kumar hinted that they were in cahoots with the local strongman Mr Yadav, who in the past has been linked to the disgraced former chief minister Laloo Prasad Yadav, (no relation). Superintendent Amarkesh of Patna Police, in charge of Mr Kumar's protective detail, said: "We are looking into it and will take action against the culprits. We are also probing the role of the local police." Forced marriage remains a major problem for India, various estimates put the number of kidnaps related to marriage between 2,800-3,000 last year, and several websites and phone hotlines are available for potential victims. |
Personal cell phones banned in West Wing Posted: 04 Jan 2018 05:52 AM PST The White House announced Thursday that its staff and visitors will no longer be allowed to use personal cell phones in the West Wing, the nerve center of the American executive branch.
