Blast at Nevada military site kills seven Marines, hurts seven

Seven U.S. Marines were killed and seven others injured during a training exercise at a military ammunition storage facility in western Nevada, U.S. military officials said Tuesday. The explosion occurred Monday at 10 p.m. PDT (1 a.m. EDT Tuesday) during a Marine training exercise at the Hawthorne Army Depot in western Nevada, said facility manager Russ Collier. The Marines were from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, a spokeswoman said. Victims were airlifted to Renown Regional Medical Center with injuries that included penetration trauma, fractures and vascular injuries, said Stacy Kendall, a spokeswoman for the medical center. The status of the injured was unclear. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation, said Marine Lt. Col. Neil Murphy Jr. Hawthorne Army Depot, about 135 miles south of Reno, is a 147,000-acre site used for the storage and destruction of demilitarized ammunition. It was first established as a naval staging area for bombs, rockets and ammunition, and was

Chicken lays giant egg

Chicken lays giant egg, The chicken lays a giant egg in China and the story has gone viral. On March 19, UPI reported that the chicken laid a "3 in 1" egg -- and egg within an egg within an egg! According to the report, residents in the Chinese town are celebrating this "miracle" chicken who recently laid a monster of an egg that contained two yolks and another full egg (shell and all). The chicken has been laying larger than normal eggs lately, which is great in general, but this giant egg is something that is completely rare. The egg weighed almost 1/2 pound -- and that is significant for an egg -- and for the chicken that it came from. When a chicken lays giant egg, people become curious about how that's possible. Well, for starters, the chicken only eats rice. This isn't because she is on some special crash diet or because her owner is trying something knew. It's simply because the hen prefers rice over other chicken food. Her owner -- an 87-year-ol

Chicken lays giant egg, Very big one

A rice-eating chicken has laid a giant egg weighing nearly half a pound. Unfortunately for Easter-egg-painting Americans, the chicken is in Guizhou, in southwestern China. The fowl's owner told the media that the hen began laying the eggs about a week ago. When it struggled to lay its first gigantic egg, "she thought the hen was dying." Now it has laid several such beastly eggs. When villagers cracked open one of the latest, they found two yolks inside — and another regular-sized egg. They cracked that one open and found ... no new surprises, thank goodness. The owner said the only thing that distinguished this hen from her others was its diet. It prefers rice. This egg does not top the record for the largest chicken egg ever laid. In 2010, when Matilda the chicken, of Ipswich, England, laid an egg 3 1/2 inches high and 8.3 inches around, a Guinness World Records spokesman told the U.K. news website Metro: "The largest hen egg was a five-yolked egg measuring [12.2

I made Justin Bieber cry: Selena Gomez

Justin Bieber may be trying to look like a tough guy these days, but his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez joked that the Biebs is just a big softy at heart. Though he’s been spotted around town flashing gang signs and taking off his shirt in freezing weather, Bieber is just like any other 19-year-old guy (OK maybe girl) getting over a breakup. During Gomez’s appearance Monday night on the “Late Show with David Letterman” she showed her quick wit and sense of humor when Letterman brought up her super famous ex. The talk show host joked that he once made Bieber cry when he appeared on the “Late Show.” Without missing a beat, Gomez quipped: “Well then that makes two of us.” The audience roared with laughter and cheered when the Disney-gal-turned-racy-film-star confirmed that she is no longer linked to the Biebs. “No, I am single,” she said when asked if they were still together. “I am so good.”

Miley Cyrus engagement ring being fixed

  Los Angeles - Miley Cyrus hasn't been wearing her engagement ring because it is being repaired. The 20-year-old singer and fiance Liam Hemsworth, 23, have been the subject of speculation about the state of their relationship following reports he cheated on her with January Jones, before fleeing home to Australia and while Miley has been spotted without her ring, she claims it is simply being fixed. After one of her back up singers, Lindsey J. Lee tweeted: "had to send off my engagement ring today to get fixed... one of the little diamonds fell out...

20 killed, 97 wounded in bombings in Iraq

Up to 20 people were killed and more than 97 wounded in a series of bombings and shootings in central Iraq on Tuesday morning, the police said. In Baghdad, eight car bombs ripped through crowded areas mainly in Shiite districts across the capital, killing a total of 15 people and wounding 73 others, an interior ministry source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity. Also in the capital, two people were killed when two sticky bombs attached to their cars detonated in western and eastern Baghdad, while a third shot dead by gunmen in the southern part of Baghdad, the source said. Meanwhile, a suicide bomber drove an explosive-laden truck into the entrance of an Iraqi army base in the town of Iskandariyah, some 50 km south of Baghdad, killing at least two people and wounding more than 10 others, a local police source anonymously told Xinhua. Separately, another car bomb ripped through Iskandariyah wounding ten people, the source said. Elsewhere, at least four soldiers were wounded in a car

Pope officially starts ministry

Pope Francis officially began his ministry as the 266th pope on Tuesday in an installation Mass simplified to suit his style, but still grand enough to draw princes, presidents, rabbis, muftis and thousands of ordinary people to St. Peter's Square to witness the inauguration of the first pope from the New World. Francis thrilled the crowd at the start of the Mass by taking a long round-about through the sun-drenched piazza and getting out of his Jeep to bless a disabled man. It was a gesture from a man whose short papacy is becoming defined by such spontaneous forays into the crowd and concern for the disadvantaged. The blue and white flags from Francis' native Argentina fluttered above the crowd, which Italian media estimated could reach 1 million but appeared to be significantly smaller. Civil protection crews closed the main streets leading to the square to traffic and set up barricades for nearly a mile along the route to try to control the masses and allow official delega

Pastor life sentence

Pastor life sentence, The former pastor was on monday sentenced to life in prison without parole in the fatal bludgeoning of his second wife in 2008. Arthur "A.B." Schirmer, 64, was sentenced nearly two months after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder in the death of Betty Schirmer. The conviction brought an automatic life sentence. "My mom is finally able to rest in peace," Betty Schirmer's son, Nate Novack, said after the sentencing.

Mob Wives star Playboy

Mob Wives star Playboy, Wives Chicago star Pia Rizza really wanted a part in Playboy. On March 18, TMZ reported that the magazine has turned her down and doesn't want her in their magazine. Do you think she is sexy enough to be in the magazine? Pia found out that someone wanted to sell her nude shots, but instead she wanted to be in charge of it and release them on her own. She contacted Playboy to see if they wanted to help her out but they do not want any part of it. All that they are saying is that they are not interested. That doesn't mean that Pia Rizza of "Mob Wives" won't have her nude pictures out there for the world to see. It is very possible that they will be released or sold to a magazine. A lot of places will pay big dollars for nude pictures of a reality TV star so don't stop looking for them now. Do you think that they should be out there for everyone to see?

Matt Hasselbeck cut

Matt Hasselbeck cut, Before anyone jumps off the deep end, I’m not saying that this will happen, or even should happen.  But at the risk of sensationalism, the possibility isn’t that far fetched.  The Titans have been on a bit of a spending spree in free agency as of late which is all well and good.  They had money to spend and are doing so, and the way they are spending the money has been well received.  Their biggest signing was to offensive guard Andy Levitre, and although they paid him well for a guard, he didn’t break the bank.  So far they have spread around what they had to spend and are trying to cover all their bases. By all calculations, however, the Titans should be done spending.  They entered free agency with about $18M to spend in cap room this year. Apparently they spent just over that, about $18M, in cap hits for the 2013 year with their free agent signings.  Reports have it that the Titans are still in the ball park of $5M under the cap with the departure of Jordan Ba

Lisa Rinna lip trouble

Lisa Rinna lip trouble, Even an actress known for her lips can have problems. When guest co-hosting the "Today Show" on Monday (March 18), Lisa Rinna told Hoda Kotb about her years of lip trouble. It isn't too pleasant, but Lisa at least has no regrets about her choice to create legendary lips. "I would do it again," Rinna said. "I never had a career before I had the lips. So my lips have had their own career! Without my lips, I would have had a different career, and that probably would have been a nice career." That doesn't mean that everything has been great with the lips throughout the years. "A couple of years ago I had a doctor remove as much as they possibly can," the soap star admitted. Why was that necessary? "It got to a point where they were yucky," she said. "They get hard! I mean, it's gross. So they are now just whatever that was after they took out as much of the silicone as they could. And I find it so i

Matt Hasselbeck cut, Tennessee Titans

Matt Hasselbeck cut, The Titans released veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, a move buying the team more cap space after they couldn’t work out an agreement to trim his $5.5 million salary for 2013. The team moved quickly to replace Hasselbeck, signing ex-Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to a two-year deal. Hasselbeck, 37, spent the past two seasons with Tennessee, leading the Titans to a 9-7 record and just missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker in 2011 in coach Mike Munchak’s debut season coming off the NFL lockout. But the Titans used the No. 8 draft selection overall in 2011 on Jake Locker, and they named him their starter for 2012. Hasselbeck, a former standout at Xaverian and Boston College who led the Seahawks to an appearance in Super Bowl XL, was due to count $7.5 million against the salary cap made him too pricey to keep. According to USA Today, Hasselbeck won’t be unemployed long. The paper is reporting Hasselbeck is close to signing with the Colts to back up Andrew Luck. Settlemen

Lisa Rinna lip trouble, Reveals Lisa

Lisa Rinna lip trouble, Lisa and the lip trouble seem to go hand in hand. People pretty much associate Rinna with her over-sized lips, even though she recently had them reduced. On March 18, Rinna filled in for Kathie Lee Gifford on "Today," and she told Hoda Kotb -- and the rest of the watching country -- the real story behind her huge lips. Lisa Rinna Basically, Rinna had silicone injections 25 years ago. Recently, however, she had some of the silicone removed. "I had a doctor remove as much as they possibly could because it got to a point where they were yucky. They get hard! I mean it's gross. So they are now just whatever that was after they took out as much as the silicon as they could," Rinna explained. Lisa Rinna's lip trouble has since subsided, even though her lips are still puffy. She is on the current season of "Celebrity Apprentice: All-Stars" and Donald Trump has commented on how good

Jason Molina dies

Jason Molina dies, Alternative singer-songwriter Jason Molina has died at his home in Indianapolis. He was 39. The Marion County coroner confirms Molina died Saturday. The cause of death hasn’t been determined. His record label, Indiana-based Secretly Canadian, says he stopped touring in 2009 “to deal with severe alcoholism.” On its website Monday, the label says the Lorain, Ohio, native released more than 12 albums under the name “Songs: Ohia” and the band Magnolia Electric Co., which he started in 2003.

Jason Molina dies, Molina Ohio-born indie rock singer and songwriter of the bands Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. died Saturday at age 39 after a long battle with alcoholism, his record label announced. “Jason is the cornerstone of Secretly Canadian,” read a statement issued Monday by the Bloomington, Ind.,-based label. “Without him there would be no us -- plain and simple. His singular, stirring body of work is the foundation upon which all else has been constructed. After hearing and falling in love with the mysterious voice on his debut single "Soul" in early 1996, we approached him about releasing a single on our newly formed label. For some reason he said yes.” Jason Molina of indie bands Songs: Ohia and Magnetic Electric Co. died March 16 at age 39. ( Steve Gullick ) Early recordings by Molina were released under the name Son

$22 minimum wage

$22 minimum wage, Oh, the minimum wage simple and friendly-sounding yet actually regressive and economy-damaging populist throwback that just refuses to die. President Obama once again resurrected the timelessly terrible idea in his State of the Union speech in February, and it’s been percolating among the Democrats as a potential 2014-oriented rallying cry for how those obstructionist Republicans must really, really hate poor people because there’s no other possible explanation for their opposition (except that, you know, minimum wage hikes are actually counterproductive to an inclusive and prospering economy, but let’s just rid ourselves of any lingering school-girl notions that facts are what matter here, shall we?). Last week in a hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Sen. Elizabeth Warren wondered, “If we started in 1960, and we said that, as productivity goes up — that is, as workers are producing more — then the minimum wage is going to go u

$22 minimum wage, to Keep up Productivity

$22 minimum wage, Elizabeth Warren has made a case for increasing the minimum wage last week during a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions hearing, in which she cited a study that suggested the federal minimum wage would have stood at nearly $22 an hour today if it had kept up with increased rates in worker productivity. "If we started in 1960 and we said that as productivity goes up, that is as workers are producing more, then the minimum wage is going to go up the same. And if that were the case then the minimum wage today would be about $22 an hour," she said, speaking to Dr. Arindrajit Dube, a University of Massachusetts Amherst professor who has studied the economic impacts of minimum wage. "So my question is Mr. Dube, with a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, what happened to the other $14.75? It sure didn't go to the worker." Dube went on to note that if minimum wage incomes had grown over that period at the same pace as it had for t

Bill O'Reilly divorce, wants his ex-wife to go to Hell

Bill O'Reilly divorce, Bill wants his ex-wife to go to Hell. Literally. As we previously reported, the Fox News falafelist became separated from his former wife Maureen McPhilmy at some point in 2011, and later went on an apparently corrupt crusade to destroy the career of the Nassau County Police detective she was dating. We have now confirmed that O'Reilly and McPhilmy have been formally divorced, that she has since married the detective, and that O'Reilly is in the midst of a scorched-earth custody battle—dubbed, appropriately enough, Anonymous v. Anonymous—over the ex-couple's two children. It involves a surreptitious attempt by O'Reilly to undermine his custody arrangement by hiring, as a member of his household staff, the woman he and his ex had agreed on as a neutral arbiter of their disputes. It also involves O'Reilly's attempts to annul his marriage and have McPhilmy potentially booted from the Catholic Church. To catch you up: In May 2010, O'

Blake Shelton rumors

Blake Shelton rumors, Rumors that Blake Shelton is cheating on Miranda Lambert have been swirling for awhile now.

Iran launches destroyer

Iran launches destroyer, Iran launched a domestically built destroyer in the Caspian Sea on Sunday, its first deployment of a major warship in the oil-rich region, state TV reported. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated the guided missile destroyer Jamaran-2 in the port city of Anzali, about 150 miles northwest of Tehran. He said the deployment aimed to bolster peace and friendship in the region. "The destroyer is there to meet those who want to jeopardize the security of surrounding nations," he said, without elaborating. There are multiple disputes between the nations that surround the Caspian -- Iran, Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan -- on how the inland sea should be divided. After final tests, the report said, Jamaran-2 will join Iran's naval fleet in the sea in coming months. The 1,400-ton destroyer, which has a helicopter landing pad, is 94 meters (yards) long and can cruise at 30 knots. It is equipped with surface-to-surface and surface-to-air

QB Steve Davis dies

QB Steve Davis dies, Steve Davis started every game of Barry Switzer’s first three seasons as head coach at Oklahoma, piling up a 32-1-1 record with two national championships in a career that stood as the best in school history for more than three decades. Davis’ school records for consecutive starts (34) and career victories (32) were surpassed only last season by Landry Jones, who started every game the past three seasons plus most of 2009. In the process, Davis reached out to Jones, who had been criticized after an early season loss to Kansas State by writing him a letter; Davis had been booed during the only loss of his career, a 23-3 setback to Kansas in 1975. Jones would go on to break Davis’ career record for wins by beating Texas, also joining Davis, Jimmy Harris and Jamelle Holieway as the only Sooners’ quarterbacks to go 3-0 in Red River Rivalry starts. “He just really wanted to encourage me,” Jones recalled. “Just keep going, keep leading those guys and keep fighting, rega

It was the same Davis who played quarterback for the Sooners in the 1970s, according to an Oklahoma athletics official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the school had not yet announced the death.

Cardinal: Pedophilia not crime

Cardinal: Pedophilia not crime, says cardinal on Monday apologized for offending victims of child abuse when he described pedophilia as an illness and not a crime in a media interview. Victims' rights groups and others said the comments by Cardinal Wilfrid Fox Napier, the Catholic Archbishop of Durban, comments were insensitive, especially given perceptions the Catholic Church has not done enough to root out abuse. "I apologize sincerely and unreservedly to all who were offended by the botched interview, and especially to those who have been abused and need every help and support that the Church can give," Napier said in a statement. Napier, one of the 115 cardinals who took part in the Vatican conclave that elected Pope Francis, had told BBC Radio 5 that paedophilia was a "disorder" that needed to be treated.

Phelps 2016 Olympics

Phelps 2016 Olympics, This past summer in London, Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian of all time, finishing with 22 career medals and universal acclaim for his achievements. So when he said he'd retired from Olympic competition after London, he didn't waver. Like Alexander the Great, he had no more worlds left to conquer. Or so we assumed. Ryan Lochte, Phelps' heir apparent, believes Phelps might not be done after all. "The sport will miss him," Lochte said in advance of the World Short Course championships in Istanbul.
