Taxi Groups Call For Eradication Of Rideshare Startups At SF City Hall Protest
San Francisco taxi labor groups called for the eradication of car ride-sharing startups and the imprisonment of some of their members at a protest in front of City Hall yesterday. "We want to see these illegal cabs to go away. We want them to be ticketed, cited, arrested, if necessary. They should not be allowed as long as you have a regulated taxi force," said Barry Korengold, President of the San Francisco Cab Drivers Association, who helped organize the protest.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/lg3ptmBeWJM/

Robbery Committed ?for Trayvon Martin? in Washington
A weekend robbery in a racially diverse neighborhood of Washington may have been a hate crime, police said.
?This is for Trayvon Martin,? one of the three black men told a white man as they approached him early Saturday, according to Washington Metropolitan Police Officer Anthony Clay.
The alleged robbery happened two weeks after a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the 2012 death of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin.

The men kicked the adult white male as they took his iPhone and wallet, Clay said Sunday.
The man, who has not been publicly identified, suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment, he said.
There have been no arrests, but police are investigating the incident as a hate crime, he said.
It happened in the Adams Morgan neighborhood in the northwest quadrant of the nation?s capital.
Oh boy.? Get ready. Bill O?Reilly and the Righties are gonna have a field day with this one.

India's Congress Party agrees to create new state in south
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's ruling Congress party approved on Tuesday the creation of a new southern state, a move that has revived deep political divisions and raised fears of violence in the area, home to global firms including Google.
The decision to break up Andhra Pradesh state and establish Telangana comes ahead of elections next year and critics say the ruling party is seeking to shore up its political fortunes after dragging its feet over the explosive issue for four decades.
Supporters, however, say Telangana's economic development has been neglected in favor of the richer and more powerful Andhra region, and that a new state is the only solution.
"It was not an easy decision, we appeal to people to cooperate," said Ajay Maken, a spokesman of the Congress after the party's highest decision-making body adopted a resolution calling for the establishment of a new state, igniting celebrations in parts of Andhra.
Additional federal troops were deployed ahead of the decision in the coastal parts of Andhra Pradesh where people are bitterly opposed to the breakup of the state.
The booming state capital Hyderabad, where Google, Microsoft and Dell have major sites, will remain the common capital for two states for a period of 10 years, Maken said.
Hyderabad, India's sixth largest city, was a bone of contention because it fell in the proposed new state carved out of the western part of Andhra Pradesh.
A government official said there was still a long way to go before the new state, which will have an estimated population of 40 million, became a reality. The measure has to be approved by the Andhra assembly and then the federal parliament where the Congress does not have a clear majority.
"We're swallowing the poison for our party. The decision is very unfortunate but since our leader has taken the decision we'll abide by it. We know the consequences, the problems that will follow," said Rudraraju Padma Raju, the chief whip of the Congress in the state, who has long opposed the split.
"DANGEROUS TREND"
One immediate consequence is likely to be renewed demands from other parts of India for separate states, including in the Darjeeling hills and a further breakup of the most populous Uttar Pradesh state.
Since independence in 1947, successive governments have dealt carefully with demands for new states - creating three in 2000 - while ensuring demands did not spiral enough to threaten the integrity of a nation that now has 1.2 billion people with hundreds of languages, ethnicities and castes.
India currently has 28 states while the United States with a population of 300 million has 50.
The chief minister of revolt-torn Jammu and Kashmir state said he feared the establishment of Telangana would set off more unrest.
"Telangana is a state that will be created on the basis of agitation. It's not created on the basis of any recommendation of a state reorganizing commission or something like that," said Omar Abdullah.
"I believe this is a dangerous trend because all we are doing is sending across a message that if you agitate enough, and if you agitate long enough, you will create a state."
Another fear is that leftist guerrillas who operate in parts of the proposed Telangana state will become further emboldened and take advantage as the new state comes into being.

US News: Latest on Fla Apartment Killings; NY Deadly Hudson River Crash; Baby HOPE - 22 Years Later; Bees Attack Texas Couple, Kill Horses
APARTMENT SHOOTINGS-FLORIDA
HIALEAH, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a man living with his mother in a South Florida apartment complex set their unit on fire and went on a shooting rampage throughout the building, killing six people before being shot to death by police.
As the eight-hour standoff in Hialeah began to unfold Friday night, authorities and witnesses say horrified residents of the aging, five-story apartment building hunkered down in their homes, at times so close to the action they could feel the gunfire or hear negotiations between the gunman and police.
In the final hours of the eight-hour standoff, police say 42-year-old Pedro Vargas held two people hostage at gunpoint for up to three hours in their apartment until a SWAT team entered and killed him. The hostages were not hurt.
HUDSON RIVER BOAT ACCIDENT
PIERMONT, N.Y. (AP) -- The driver of a speedboat that slammed into a construction barge on New York's Hudson River -- hurling a bride-to-be and her fiance's best man into the water -- has been charged with vehicular manslaughter.
Authorities say 35-year-old Jojo John of Nyack was also charged with three counts of vehicular assault at his hospital bedside as he recovers from Friday night's crash.
Rockland County Sheriff's Department Chief William Barbera says John's bail was set at $250,000. He says the man will be transported to jail after he's released from the hospital. Barbera says John is suspected of operating the boat while intoxicated.
Earlier today, authorities pulled a woman's body from the water that matches the description of 30-year-old Lindsey Stewart. The bride-to-be was hurled into the water after the accident near the Tappan Zee Bridge, north of New York City.
Stewart, of Piermont, N.Y., worked for an insurance company. She was set to be married Aug. 10. Her fiance, art teacher Brian Bond, was among four others injured in the crash.
Rescuers are still trying to locate one other passenger, her fiance's best man, 30-year-old Mark Lennon.
Officials say the groom-to-be and three others were hospitalized.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Federal authorities say a rig is being positioned to drill a relief well for a gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico, and a permit is in the final stages of review.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said Saturday that it's reviewing Walter Oil & Gas Corporation's permit to drill the relief well off the Louisiana coast.
The relief well could intercept the leaking well and seal it with drilling mud and cement.
The leak is from a gas rig that blew wild Tuesday morning. Spewing gas ignited that night, burning the rig owned by Hercules Offshore Inc.
Authorities believe that sand and sediment clogged the well late Wednesday, shutting off the gas flow in what is referred to as a "bridge over."
NORTH CAROLINA FLOODING
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A series of thunderstorms moving across western North Carolina has triggered major flash flooding, inundating roads, apartments and parts of several counties.
The Charlotte Observer reports that Hickory Mayor Rudy Wright is telling residents to stay indoors and away from flooded roads and washed-out bridges.
No injuries have been reported.
Parts of Catawba and surrounding counties were under water Saturday. Catawba County officials say some of the worst flash flooding in decades followed a nearly stationary weather system that dumped more than 12 inches of rain.
Several miles of Interstate 85 in Cabarrus County was closed for a short time Saturday due to high water.
It is at least the fourth major flash flooding event in the Charlotte region in the past month.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Police Department is seeking help identifying the body of a young girl dubbed Baby Hope, whose naked and malnourished body was found inside a cooler 22 years ago.
Police are offering a $12,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest and a conviction.
This week, officers put up posters and handed out fliers with sketches of how the girl looked in 1991 and might look now. Cold-case detective Robert Dewhurst says he hopes someone who knew her will come forward.
The cooler was found in Washington Heights on July 23, 1991, on an embankment off the Henry Hudson Parkway.
The girl was believed to be 3 to 5 years old. DNA testing has yielded no matches with databases of convicted felons or active missing-person cases.
PANTEGO, Texas (AP) -- A swarm of about 30,000 bees has attacked a North Texas couple as they exercised their miniature horses, stinging the animals so many times they died.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports 44-year-old Kristen Beauregard was stung about 200 times and her boyfriend about 50 times.
Beauregard says the swarm chased them down and followed them. She says they were sweeping up piles of bees "like a bad movie."
She says firefighters sprayed a foam substance to clear the bees, and dragged the horses to a pasture to be treated by police and paramedics.
A 6-year-old show horse died before a veterinarian arrived. A Shetland pony spent a night at a veterinary clinic but also died.
The bees are being tested to see whether they are Africanized or "killer" bees.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal regulators say they have certified two types of unmanned aircraft for civilian use, a milestone expected to lead to the first approved commercial drone operations later this summer.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday the drones are Insitu's Scan Eagle X200 and AeroVironment's PUMA. Both weigh less than 55 pounds, are about 4.5 feet long and have wingspans of 9 to 10 feet.
A major energy company plans to fly the Scan Eagle off the Alaska coast starting in August to survey ice floes and migrating whales. The PUMA is expected to support emergency response crews for oil spill monitoring and wildlife surveillance over the Beaufort Sea.
Most nonmilitary use of drones in the U.S. has been limited to police and other government agencies.
US-EGYPT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State John Kerry says Egypt is at "a pivotal moment" more than two years since the uprising ousted the longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
Kerry says the "final verdict" of the revolution that brought Mohammed Morsi to power as Egypt's first democratically elected leader before the military recently toppled him "will be forever impacted by what happens right now."
Kerry says Egyptian officials "have a moral and legal obligation" to respect the right of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression. He says the continued violence sets back efforts of "reconciliation and democratization," and affects regional stability.
Egypt's health ministry says security forces fought with Morsi's supporters Saturday and at least 65 protesters were killed.
Kerry says the U.S. is urging "an independent and impartial inquiry" and says political leaders must help their country "take a step back from the brink."
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) -- The Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting says the U.S. government is at war with Islam.
Maj. Nidal Hasan released a lengthy statement to Fox News (http://fxn.ws/1cafkA2 ) on Saturday in which he says he regrets serving in the Army and "participating in the illegal and immoral aggression against Muslims, their religion and their lands."
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 attack at the Central Texas Army post. His trial is scheduled to start Aug. 6.
Hasan is serving as his own attorney and hasn't spoken much in pre-trial hearings or jury selection. He faces the death penalty if convicted.
Fox News reports that Hasan didn't directly address the shooting in the statement.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- One of the nation's largest air shows begins Monday in Wisconsin, and for each of the 10,000 planes flying in, the federal government will collect about $45 for air traffic control services.
The fee is angering pilots, who already pay for air traffic control through a fuel tax.
The Experimental Aircraft Association's AirVenture draws about 10,000 planes and several hundred thousand people to Oshkosh each year.
FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory says the event was asked to cover air traffic costs after automatic federal budget cuts went into effect this spring.
EAA board chairman Jack Pelton says paying an unexpected $447,000 for air traffic control means less money will be left for the nonprofit's aviation education programs. It is appealing the fee in federal court.
TERESA HEINZ KERRY-HOSPITALIZED
BOSTON (AP) -- The wife of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has walked out of a Boston rehabilitation hospital after successful treatment for a seizure she experienced earlier this month.
State Department spokesman Glen Johnson said Saturday that doctors expect 74-year-old Teresa Heinz Kerry to complete her recovery at home after some out-patient treatment. She suffered a seizure at the couple's home in Nantucket on July 7.
Johnson previously said the cause of the seizure had not been determined but doctors had ruled out a brain tumor, heart attack or stroke.
Kerry thanked members of the State Department Diplomatic Security Service who first responded when his wife fell ill. She was transferred to two hospitals and ultimately to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital for recovery.
The family does not plan to additional comment.
OBAMA-LINDY BOGGS
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is remembering late congresswoman Lindy Boggs as a champion of civil rights and women's rights.
Boggs represented her Louisiana district for nearly 18 years in the House. She died Saturday at her home in suburban Washington at the age of 97.
In a statement Saturday night, Obama says Boggs' legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
OBAMA-FED CHAIR
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says his next Fed chairman should take ordinary people into account when setting monetary policy.
Obama tells The New York Times in an interview on the paper's website Saturday that he wants someone who won't just work abstractly to keep inflation in check and maintain stability in the markets. He says he wants the next Fed chairman to also promote policies that will help make ordinary people's lives better.
The president began a series of speeches this week promoting ideas for easing the burdens on the middle class.
Obama is considering replacements for Ben Bernanke, whose term as Fed chairman expires early next year.
Former Obama economic adviser Larry Summers and Janet Yellen, the Fed's current vice chair, are among the leading candidates for the job.
SOAP BOX DERBY
AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- More than 440 racers have given their all in the 76th All-American Soap Box Derby in northeast Ohio.
The Saturday derby in Akron featured competitors from the United States and other countries competing for a share of $30,000 in scholarships.
Fourteen-year-old Ricky Desens of Webster, N.Y., won the Rally Super Stock division. Thirteen-year-old Macaila Ziolkowski of McKeesport, Pa., won the Stock Car division and 14-year-old Bryce Volpe, 14, of Mentor in northeast Ohio won the Super Stock division.
Two 16-year-olds won the Masters divisions. They were Jay Warnick of Drayden, Md., and Melanie Kohout of Geneva, Ill.
Racers were able to qualify for the downhill competition of gravity-powered cars by winning just one race in their local community or by being a rally champion after competing throughout the year.

Animal Collective add second Union Transfer show on October 27th
Just shy of selling out their originally-scheduled October 28th date, Animal Collective have added a second show at Union Transfer for October 27th.? The Baltimore-born, multi-city-based experimental psych outfit released its tenth studio album Centipede HZ last year.? Weirder and featuring more surprising twists and turns than its pop-aligned predecessor, the record was a return to roots in both personnel and style ? following a brief hiatus during the Merriweather Post Pavilion era, Deakin (Josh Dibb) rejoined Avey Tare (Dave Portner), Geologist (Brian Weitz) and Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) for the recording and touring of HZ.
While past tours have focused on new, not yet recorded material, the band has been digging into its back catalog for the recent run of 2013 dates.? Among the unearthed tracks is ?Purple Bottle? off of 2005?s?Feels, which hadn?t been played live in several years.? Watch a performance of the song filmed in Animal Collective?s practice space below and go here for tickets for the added Union Transfer show.
