Higgs did not know he had won Nobel

Professor Peter Higgs: "She congratulated me on the news and I said 'oh, what news?'"

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Prof Peter Higgs has revealed he did not know he had won the award until a woman congratulated him in the street.

Prof Higgs, who does not own a mobile phone, said a former neighbour had pulled up in her car as he was returning from lunch in Edinburgh.

He added: "She congratulated me on the news and I said 'oh, what news?'"

The woman had been alerted by her daughter in London that Prof Higgs had won the award, he revealed.

He added: "I heard more about it obviously when I got home and started reading the messages."

The 84-year-old emeritus professor at the University of Edinburgh was recognised by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for his work on the theory of the particle which shares his name, the Higgs boson.

He shares this year's physics prize with Francois Englert of Belgium, and joins the ranks of past Nobel winners including Marie Curie and Albert Einstein.

'God particle'

The existence of the so-called "God particle", said to give matter its substance, or mass, was proved almost 50 years later by a team from the European nuclear research facility (Cern) and its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland.

Speaking for the first time about the award at a media conference at the University of Edinburgh, he said: "How do I feel? Well, obviously I'm delighted and rather relieved in a sense that it's all over. It has been a long time coming."

An old friend told him he had been nominated as far back as 1980, he said.

Prof Higgs added: "In terms of later events, it seemed to me for many years that the experimental verification might not come in my lifetime.

"But since the start up of the LHC it has been pretty clear that they would get there, and despite some mishaps they did get there".

Stressing the involvement of other theorists and Cern, he added: "I think clearly they should, but it is going to be even more difficult for the Nobel Committee to allocate the credit when it comes to an organisation like Cern.

"I should remind you that although only two of us have shared this prize, Francois Englert of Brussels and myself, that the work in 1964 involved three groups of people, (including) two in Brussels.

"Unfortunately Robert Brout died a few years ago so is no longer able to be awarded the prize, but he would certainly have been one of the winners if he had still been alive.

"But there were three others who also contributed and it is already difficult to allocate the credit amongst the theorists.

"Although a lot of people seem to think I did all this single-handed, it was actually part of a theoretical programme which had been started in 1960."

Landmark research

Prof Higgs was born in Newcastle, but developed his theory while working at the University of Edinburgh.

The landmark research that defined what was to become known as the Higgs boson was published in 1964.

Discovering the particle became one of the most sought-after goals in science, and the team of scientists behind the $10bn LHC at Cern made proving its existence a key priority.

In July of last year, physicists at Cern confirmed the discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson.

Prof Higgs, who had often been uncomfortable with the attention his theory brought, was in Geneva to hear the news, and wiped a tear from his eye as the announcement was made.

Reacting to the discovery at the time, he told reporters: "It's very nice to be right sometimes."

ConocoPhillips 2Q beats analysts' estimates

HOUSTON (AP) -- ConocoPhillips on Thursday reported lower second-quarter earnings. But they were higher than analysts' estimates, and the oil company raised its production estimate for the year.

Net income was $2.05 billion, or $1.65 per share, for the quarter that ended June 30. A year earlier it earned $2.27 billion, or $1.80 per share. The year-ago period included a month of revenue from the Phillips 66 gas station business, which ConocoPhillips sold on April 30.

Excluding special items it would have earned $1.75 million, or $1.41 per share, up from $1.5 billion, or $1.19 per share, a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected a profit of $1.29 per share.

Revenue fell 4.7 percent to $14.14 billion.

ConocoPhillips now expects to produce an average of 1.52 million to 1.53 million barrels of oil equivalent per day for the full year. Its previous estimate was 1.49 million to 1.52 million barrels.

The company plans to dispose of its interests in businesses in Algeria and Nigeria and the Kashagan oilfield in the Caspian sea. It said those deals are expected to close by the end of this year and should bring in about $9 billion. It expects total proceeds from selling businesses this year to be $10.5 billion.

Total production from ongoing operations for the quarter was 1.51 million barrels per day, up from 1.49 million barrels a year earlier.

Shares of ConocoPhillips rose $1.14 to $66 in morning trading amid a broad market rally.

Leaked docs give new insight into NSA's searches

LONDON (AP) ? Documents published by the Guardian newspaper are providing new insight into the National Security Agency's surveillance of world data, giving an over-the-shoulder look at the programs and techniques U.S. intelligence analysts use to exploit the hundreds of billions of records they gather each year.

Dozens of training slides published Wednesday divulge details about XKeyscore, one of a family of NSA programs that leaker Edward Snowden says has given America the ability to spy on "the vast majority of human communications."

Some of the slides appear to carry screenshots showing what analysts would see as they trawled the intercepted conversations and include sample search queries such as "Show me all encrypted word documents from Iran" or "Show me all the word documents that reference Osama Bin Laden."

One question-and-answer slide asks what to do if a terror cell isn't associated with any particular search term. The answer: Look for "anomalous events," which the NSA defines as "someone whose language is out of place for the region they are in" or, rather more vaguely, "someone searching the web for suspicious stuff."

In an indication of the program's importance, one slide says that XKeyscore has led to the capture of more than 300 terrorists. In a statement, the NSA said that figure only included captures up to the year 2008, and pushed back against any suggestion of illegal or arbitrary collection of data.

"These types of programs allow us to collect the information that enables us to perform our missions successfully ? to defend the nation and to protect U.S. and allied troops abroad," the statement said.

How and from where the program harvests its information isn't completely clear, nor is it obvious how XKeyscore fits in with other recently revealed NSA activities, such as the PRISM program, which draws data from Silicon Valley firms.

"It's hard to tell what this is without some context," said security researcher Ashkan Soltani, who has been following the NSA revelations.

But hints as to the program's size and scope are scattered across the documents. One slide said XKeyscore was supported by 700 servers and 150 sites across the globe, and the volume of data available to analysts through XKeyscore appears to be vast.

The Guardian quoted another slide as saying that nearly 42 billion records had been captured by the system during a one-month period in 2012. So much content was being collected, the newspaper said, that it could be stored only for short periods of time ? generally just a few days.

"At some sites, the amount of data we receive per day (20+ terabytes) can only be stored for as little as 24 hours," the paper quoted one document as saying.

The leaked documents also give new insight into how analysts determine that their target is a foreigner ? a key issue thrown up in the debate over the American surveillance program. In a statement broadcast in June, Snowden warned he had the authority to spy on any American he pleased ? "you, your accountant, to a federal judge, to even the President if I had a personal email."

The NSA has strongly denied that claim, and on Wednesday it repeated past assurances that it had "stringent oversight and compliance mechanisms built in at several levels" and that analysts were unable to "operate freely."

The new documents may provide fodder for both sides of the argument.

On the one hand, it appears that NSA analysts were required to fill out forms asserting that their target was a foreigner before they could pore over the intercepted data.

On the other hand, the forms published by the Guardian did not appear terribly exhaustive. One was a multiple-choice list explaining why a target was believed to be foreign (one option: "Phone number is registered in a country other than the US.") Another form, for reading intercepted emails, had a field for "justification," but the brief sample justification provided appeared to be only five words and refer vaguely to a "ct target" in "africa."

Like past stories on NSA surveillance, the Guardian's most recent article drew on documents supplied by Snowden to journalist Glenn Greenwald in Hong Kong, according to newspaper spokesman Gennady Kolker. They're the first to have been published in the Guardian since Snowden, who remains stuck at a Moscow airport, applied for temporary asylum in Russia on July 16.

It's not clear whether that may complicate the leaker's asylum bid.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he'd be inclined to accept the bid on condition that Snowden agreed not to hurt U.S. interests ? implying that the American would have to stop spilling U.S. secrets if he wanted safe harbor. But Snowden's Russian lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, said Wednesday that the material for the article was provided to the media long before Snowden promised to stop leaking.

"He warned me that he had already sent to the press an array of revealing information and secret documents and, unfortunately, could not stop its publication," Kucherena was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.

RealNetworks Gets Serious About Social Casino Gaming With $15.6M Slingo Acquisition, New Sweepstakes

RealNetworks, a Seattle-based publicly-traded company that runs RealPlayer and has a gaming arm, is digging into social casino games with a deal to buy Slingo for $15.6 million. It’s also launching a new kind of casino game that involves a $100,000 sweepstakes called Gamehouse Casino Plus. The two moves are meant to revitalize RealNetworks’ gaming business, which brought in $13.9 million in the quarter ending in March of this year. Slingo is a combo of bingo and slots and has more than 4.5 million people monthly active users on Facebook, plus more on mobile platforms and on physical slot machines in casinos. The game launched on Facebook back in February of last year, and reached a peak of more than 50 million monthly active users. It also came to Android and iOS through Slingo Supreme, a paid app. The physical game, which is in Slingo-branded slot machines, is played in more than 300 casinos in the U.S. and RealNetworks says that more than $1 billion Slingo-branded tickets have been sold through other lottery games. “Real money gaming in the U.S. is not going to become a mainstream thing anytime soon,” said RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser. But he said he believed that studios can still innovate on the social casino genre, which has become increasingly competitive over the last two years. In Gamehouse Casino Plus, players play your typical casino games — like slots, video poker, blackjack and roulette — but they also win tickets to participate in a $100,000 sweepstakes every month.

Afghan civilian deaths up by a quarter as Nato troops withdraw

The number of Afghan civilian deaths has jumped by nearly a quarter in the first six months of 2013, according to a new UN report.

A total of 1,300 people have lost their lives in the 12-year-old conflict since the beginning of the year.

The number of children killed has risen 30 percent compared with last year, as insurgents step up their attacks with home-made devices.

?The main factors driving the increase in civilian casualties were the following: the increased use of improvised explosive devises or IEDs by anti-government elements particularly in areas frequented by civilians such as bazaars, markets, busy roads and other places,? explained UNAMA Human Rights Director, Georgette Gagnon.

The news has sparked fears over the Afghan forces? ability to cope with the withdrawal deadline for international troops approaching in 2014.

A Nato investigation concluded their forces were not responsible for the deaths, though their accelerated departure appears to coincide with the increase.

George Zimmerman stopped for speeding in Texas

By NOMAAN MERCHANT
Associated Press

FORNEY, Texas (AP) - George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who was cleared of all charges in the Florida shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, was stopped for speeding on a highway near Dallas, officials said Wednesday.

Forney police stopped Zimmerman on Sunday as he drove west on U.S. 80, about 20 miles east of Dallas. A police dashcam video released Wednesday shows an officer interacting with Zimmerman and letting him go with a warning.

The officer, who was not identified, asks Zimmerman, "Where you headed this weekend?"

After an unintelligible response, the officer asks, "Nowhere in particular? Why you say that?"

"You didn't see my name?" Zimmerman replies.

"Nuh-uh," the officer says.

"What a coincidence!" the officer adds. "Are you clear of warrants and stuff?"

"Absolutely sir," Zimmerman says.

Zimmerman then says something else unintelligible and the officer responds, "Calm down man, you're good."

The officer then tells him, "I'm going to go back (to check his license), and why don't you slow down a little bit for me. We'll let you off with a warning."

After an unintelligible response from Zimmerman, the officer says, "Just take it easy. Go ahead and shut your glove compartment. Don't play with your firearm."

Although the officer's comments indicated Zimmerman had a gun, a weapon can't be seen and it's not clear that he had one. However, Zimmerman had a concealed weapons permit in Florida that would be also recognized under Texas law. The gun used in Martin's shooting remains in the custody of the federal government, which is looking into a possible civil rights case.

After returning Zimmerman's driver's license, the officer says, "All right, sir. Slow down." He wishes Zimmerman a safe trip.

The traffic stop was first reported by TMZ.

The speed limit on that stretch of road is 60 mph, but police records do not show how fast Zimmerman was driving, City Manager Brian Brooks said. Police handled Zimmerman as they would have any other motorist in a comparable situation and gave him no special treatment, Brooks said.

The city manager repeatedly declined to identify the officer involved in the traffic stop.

"He obviously didn't expect to pull over George Zimmerman. I don't think he wants the notoriety," Brooks said.

Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for Zimmerman's legal team, said the attorneys had not been able to confirm the account of Zimmerman's road stop independently, but he said he had no reason not to believe the report.

"Anytime his life intersects with anyone now, somehow that's news," Vincent said. "How many people, when they get a warning, become a national headline?"

Vincent would not discuss what Zimmerman was doing in Texas or say anything about Zimmerman's current location, citing safety concerns.

Zimmerman's acquittal on July 13 prompted rallies nationwide calling for a civil rights probe and federal charges against him.

Last year's shooting of Martin, an unarmed black teen, initiated a national dialogue about equal justice, racial profiling, gun control and self-defense laws.

Protesters nationwide lashed out against police in Sanford, Fla., as it took 44 days for Zimmerman to be arrested. Many, including Martin's parents, said Zimmerman had racially profiled the 17-year-old. Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic.

The only other time Zimmerman has been seen in public since his acquittal was when he helped rescue four people from an overturned vehicle following a roadway accident in suburban Orlando.

Musician JJ Cale dies; wrote Clapton, Skynyrd hits

If musicians were measured not by the number of records they sold but by the number of peers they influenced, JJ Cale would have been a towering figure in 1970s rock 'n' roll.

His best songs like "After Midnight," ''Cocaine" and "Call Me the Breeze" were towering hits ? for other artists. Eric Clapton took "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" and turned them into the kind of hard-party anthems that defined rock for a long period of time. And Lynyrd Skynyrd took the easy-shuffling "Breeze" and supercharged it with a three-guitar attack that made it a hit.

Cale, the singer-songwriter and producer known as the main architect of the Tulsa Sound, passed away Friday night at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla, Calif. His manager, Mike Kappus, said Cale died of a heart attack. He was 74.

While his best known songs remain in heavy rotation on the radio nearly 40 years later, most folks wouldn't be able to name Cale as their author. That was a role he had no problem with.

"No, it doesn't bother me," Cale said with a laugh in an interview posted on his website. "What's really nice is when you get a check in the mail."

And the checks rolled in for decades. The list of artists who covered his music or cite him as a direct influence reads like a who's who of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ? Clapton, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, Mark Knopfler, The Allman Brothers, Carlos Santana, Captain Beefheart and Bryan Ferry among many others.

Young said in Jimmy McDonough's biography "Shakey" that Cale and Jimi Hendrix were the best guitar players he had ever heard. And in his recent memoir "Waging Heavy Peace," Young said Cale's "Crazy Mama" ? his biggest hit, rising to No. 22 on the Billboard singles chart ? was one of the five songs that most influenced him as a songwriter: "The song is true, simple, and direct, and the delivery is very natural. JJ's guitar playing is a huge influence on me. His touch is unspeakable."

It was Clapton who forged the closest relationship with Cale. They were in sync musically and personally. Clapton also recorded Cale songs "Travelin' Light" and "I'll Make Love To You Anytime" and included the Cale composition "Angel" on his most recent album, "Old Sock." Other songs like "Layla" didn't involve Cale, but clearly owe him a debt. The two also collaborated together on "The Road to Escondido," which won the Grammy Award for best contemporary blues album in 2008.

Clapton once told Vanity Fair that Cale was the living person he most admired, and Cale weighed the impact Clapton had on his life in a 2006 interview with The Associated Press: "I'd probably be selling shoes today if it wasn't for Eric."

That quote was typical of the always humble Cale. But while Clapton was already a star when he began mining Cale's catalog, there's no doubt the music they shared cemented his "Clapton is God" status and defined the second half of his career.

"As hard as I've tried I've never really succeeded in getting a record to sound like him and that's what I want," Clapton said in a "Fast Focus" video interview to promote "Escondido." ''Before I go under the ground, I want to make a JJ Cale album with him at the helm."

Clapton described Cale's music as "a strange hybrid. It's not really blues, it's not really folk or country or rock 'n' roll. It's somewhere in the middle."

Cale arrived at that intersection by birth. Born John Weldon Cale in Oklahoma City, he was raised in Tulsa. Buffeted by country and western on one side and the blues on the other, Oklahoma offered a melting pot of styles. Cale leaned on those styles as he spent his formative years in Los Angeles and Nashville, but he also used drum machines and often acted as his own producer, engineer and session player. He'd bury his own whispery vocals in the mix, causing the listener to lean in and focus.

"I think it goes back to me being a recording mixer and engineer," Cale said in a 2009 biography on his website. "Because of all the technology now you can make music yourself and a lot of people are doing that now. I started out doing that a long time ago and I found when I did that I came up with a unique sound."

60 years after armistice, one harrowing mission still binds several Korean veterans

Kris Connor / for NBC News

E.C. Rivera, center, speaks with other members of the 8th Ranger Company at Bob Black's house in Carlisle, Pa. as part of reunion for members of the company in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement.

By Bill Briggs, NBC News contributor

Trapped by the enemy, calculating his company had 20 minutes to live, the Army Ranger belly-climbed a napalm-fried hill as Chinese bullets peppered the dirt. From that peak, he glimpsed below ?the most beautiful sight of my life? ? four waiting U.S. tanks. "We are in bad shape," he radioed.

On the 60th anniversary of the final shots fired during what that Ranger, E.C. Rivera, and fellow Korean veterans call ?the Forgotten War,? Rivera, 84, and five survivors of that mission will reunite Saturday in Carlisle, Pa.

The Korean War lasted just three years, but combat claimed 34,000 American lives.?This week, Rivera has been emotional ? crying some about that brazen rescue and the lifelong bonds it forged, fuming some about the welcome home they never received.

?Nobody gave a rat?s ass about us,? Rivera said. ?Nobody cared. They (people in America) were very cold to us. And it was bad because we put ourselves at the top of that hill and let them shoot at us and, believe me, they weren't shooting rubber bullets.?

Rivera?s bold crawl to snatch a radio signal helped save 65 men. He did not earn him a medal for that maneuver. Bob Black, a fellow Ranger, saw it unfold. And when Black eventually returned from Korea, he entered a local clothing store where a clerk remarked: ?I haven?t seen you in ages! You been outta town??

'I've got a moral obligation'
Exactly six decades after an armistice was signed ending the war, retired Army Maj. Dave Teich, 87, feels the need explain why he defied orders.

As 300,000 Chinese troops rumbled south toward his tank platoon ? parked about five miles south of what is now the 38th parallel that divides North and South Korea ? Teich monitored radio chatter from the 8th Ranger Company. He heard Rivera?s report: they were cutoff with a mess of wounded.

Kris Connor / for NBC News

David E Teich Sr. of Aurora, Colo., was a member of the 8th Ranger Company that served in the Korean War.

Teich, then a lieutenant, asked his captain if he and his fellow tankers could roll north for a rescue attempt. The captain?s response: ?We've got orders to move out. Screw them. Let them fight their own battles.?

?If somebody asks for help, you can?t deny them,? said Teich, who lives in Aurora, Colo. ?When these guys talked to me on the radio, they were in a real bad position. It?s up to me. I?ve got a moral obligation as an officer to do things that are right. Just as a human being, you?ve got to do things that are right.?

Despite the command to withdraw on April 24, 1951, Teich said he ?volunteered to stay behind,? and lead four tanks to the surrounded Rangers. His captain and other U.S. troops, meanwhile, bolted south.

?I know I did the right thing in my heart because if I didn?t and those guys got wiped out,? Teich said, ?I could never live that down.?

Dozens of men saved
As the tanks moved north, the Rangers? leader, Capt. James Herbert, called in air and artillery strikes on what Herbert later described as ?a river of Chinese soldiers? flowing south, blocking the Rangers' escape. The Chinese returned fire, killing several Americans and wounding dozens more, including Herbert, who was hit in the right shoulder, right arm and neck.

Brigadier General James Herbert at his home in Lebanon, Pa. Herbert was part of the 8th Ranger Company which served during the Korean War.

?The medic pulled me down and said, ?Can you put your left thumb in the left-side hole in your neck and reach around and put your left index finger in the hole on the right?? Placing a tourniquet there would have choked me to death,? recalled Herbert, 89, who retired as a brigadier general and lives in Lebanon, Pa. ?Then he told me to squeeze.

?The able-bodied had to carry the diseased. The wounded had to walk,? Herbert said. ?That?s the way we worked ourselves over a mile to the tank platoon.?

They heard the tanks in the valley. That?s when Rivera scaled Hill 628 to radio Teich to hold and wait. En route to the tanks, the Rangers took fire. They climbed up or were loaded aboard. Not even the tank guns were visible with 65 guys draped on the armor. The tanks returned south.

?Though we don?t always say it, Dave Teich saved our lives,? Herbert said. ?If it wasn?t for him, we figure all of the survivors of the battle would have been killed or captured by Chinese. We look upon Dave as our savior.?

?For the last 62, 63 years,? Teich said, ?I?ve been getting letters and phone calls from these guys, and I don?t know them other then their names.?

They may feel ?forgotten? by time, but they also feel like they still have each other, even as the brotherhood shrinks. From an original Ranger company of 117 plus 20 replacements, about 12 to 15 are living, estimated Rivera, who lives in Santa Fe, N.M.

'The blood is the same'
Six will gather Saturday at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, for a ceremony commemorating the armistice ? and for the dedication of an exhibit highlighting their 1951 mission.

Each man takes pride that they were part of a greater good.

?As time went by I asked myself, what did we do over there? Did we lose that war? Then a kind of a miracle occurred,? said Black, 84, who lives in Carlisle.??I began to see what the South Koreans were doing. They?re now one of the leading economies ? Hyundai, Kia, LG and Samsung. That?s a country taking off.?

To a man, they monitor the younger generation of their old enemy.

?If North Korea does anything, it?s going to be one hell of a fight because they?re going to wipe out somebody with those nuclear weapons but they?re going to get it in retaliation,? Teich said. ?There?s going to be nothing left.?

And those who remain cling to one another. On Thursday, Black hosted a dinner for Teich, Rivera and other veterans of that operation.

?There is no such thing as ?the greatest generation,? ? Black said. ?A man who died on a hilltop in Korea gave just as much for his country as did a man who died at Omaha Beach. History isn?t fair. The big wars, the big battles get the attention. But the blood is the same.?

FSF Tries Pushing Blob-Free "Replicant" Android OS

The Free Software Foundation's latest open-source project it's trying to push along is Replicant, a fully-free Android Linux distribution for select mobile devices.

Replicant isn't nearly as popular as Android itself (obviously) or CyanogenMod, but the FSF believes in it since it tries to be fully open-source. At the moment this Android distribution is running on ten known devices as of its 4.0 release. Among the working devices are the Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The Free Software Foundation is trying to raise funds so that it can buy more mobile hardware for the Replicant developers. While I wouldn't expect any really ground-breaking and original innovations out of this free Android project, those wishing to learn more can visit FSF.org. The foundation is also continuing to push its high priority projects.

Details on the upstream Replicant open-source mobile operating system project can be found at Replicant.us.

Obamacare funding fight splintering? GOP

Reaping their reward.

Fight! Fight!

A growing number of Republicans are rejecting calls from leading conservatives, including Sens. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, to defund the president?s health care law in the resolution to keep the government running past Sept. 30. The rift exposes an emerging divide over how the GOP can best achieve its No. 1 goal?to repeal Obamacare?while highlighting the spreading fears that Republicans would lose a public relations war if the dispute leads to a government shutdown in the fall.

The debate is happening behind closed doors and over Senate lunches, as well as during a frank meeting Wednesday with House leaders in Speaker John Boehner?s suite where fresh concerns were aired about the party?s strategy. On Thursday, the dispute began to spill into public view, most notably when three Senate Republicans?including Minority Whip John Cornyn?withdrew their signatures from a conservative letter demanding defunding Obamacare as a condition for supporting the government funding measure.

The Senate fight is quite public, with one GOP senator calling the defunding plan the ?dumbest idea? he had ever heard. Senate GOP leadership, now that Cornyn has slunk back under his rock, will likely just ignore the nihilists, and can probably slap the idea down between now and the fall, when the funding debate happens. House Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader Cantor, however, might have a bigger problem on their hands. They've got a letter from more than 60 members telling them to have this fight.

Lest you wonder where the impetus is coming from for the yahoos:

Atop the letter it reads ?supported by Heritage Action and Club for Growth,? in all capital letters, and highlighted in yellow, referring to the conservative outside groups.

The Republican Party made its bed with these groups, or lined their pockets with them anyway. And now they're feeling the pain. Doesn't it just make your heart bleed for them?

2:05 PM PT: It gets even better. Here's Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK).

?You?re going to set an expectation among the conservatives in our party that we can achieve something that we?re not able to achieve,? Coburn continued. ?It?s not an achievable strategy. It?s creating the false impression that you can do something when you can?t. And it?s dishonest.? [...]

?The strategy that has been laid out is a good way for Republicans to lose the House.?

Popcorn, anyone?

3:13 PM PT: Game most definitely on.

Seven killed, including gunman, in Florida shootout; 2 hostages rescued

SWAT officers shot and killed a man they say gunned down 6 people in Hialeah, Fla., ending an hours-long standoff. NBC's ?Bobby Brooks reports.

By Marian Smith and Matthew DeLuca, NBC News

SWAT officers shot and killed a gunman early Saturday after he killed 6 people, ending an hours-long standoff near Miami, Fla., police said.

Two people were rescued alive and unharmed from an apartment building where they were being held hostage, Hialeah police spokesman Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez told NBC News.

The SWAT team found the gunman barricaded on the fourth floor of the building, where they killed him and saved the two hostages.

NBC Miami

The building manager and her husband were found dead in a hallway and three others, two females and one male, were found in one of the apartments, Rodriguez said. Another man was found dead in the lobby of a building across the street.

"This is one of the worst shootings we've probably had ever in Hialeah," police spokesman Carl Zogby?told NBC Miami.

Police first responded to a 911 call at 6:30 p.m. ET Friday. They evacuated the apartment complex and shut down several surrounding streets.

Negotiators were talking to the gunman before the shootout and police sent a robot onto the scene.

?The end result: seven people have lost their lives in this incident, six innocent victims and the one shooter,? Zogby told the station. ?Now starts the investigation, how and why this happened.?

NBC Miami

A young woman told NBC Miami that two of the victims of the shooting were her parents.

?I guess there was an altercation and the person opened fire on both of them. My mom was dead the moment that she was shot and my dad still had a pulse when I got to him,? the woman said.

One of the victims appeared to have been shot at across the street from the main scene, police said, when the gunman opened fire from a balcony.

?From up there, he was able to shoot at people across the street, catching this one man who was just walking into his apartment,? Rodriguez told the Miami Herald.

Police were investigating the motive and were still identifying those who were killed.

Sports Minister to honour legacy volunteer outside 10 Downing Street

7/25/2013 8:25 AM EST

The Community Games Relay will make a pit stop outside 10 Downing Street tomorrow for former Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson to present one special legacy volunteer with a unique jersey.?

The arrival outside number 10 will be a highlight of the Relay, which has been mirroring the footsteps of last year?s Olympic Torch Relay.

During its 70 day virtual journey it has been visiting communities across the country and shining a spotlight on legacy and the people bringing legacy to life, one year on from the Games.

Friday will mark day 69 of the Community Games Relay ? the day before it makes its final voyage to the Copper Box Arena within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on day 70 (Saturday July 27) to be met by Lord Coe.

Minister Robertson will be outside Downing Street to meet representatives from the Community Games programme ? which is being delivered by the County Sports Partnership Network and the YMCA ? and will be rewarding one volunteer for the role he has played in helping to keep the Olympic flame alive within his community.

Volunteer Anthony Temple, from Bermondsey, has been selected as the Relay?s day 69 ?Shining Light?. Each day of the Relay a ?Shining Light? is honoured for the work they have done in bringing their local community together to enjoy sport and cultural activity through Community Games.

Minister Robertson will award Anthony with the unique ?Shining Light? jersey, which has only been bestowed to the 70 selected volunteers during the Relay.

Anthony, who is a youth worker at the Salmon Youth Centre in Bermondsey, is being acknowledged for the role he has played in encouraging young people to get involved in sporting activity.

The 20-year-old became involved in the Community Games programme while he was working as a volunteer at the centre.

Two years on he is now a full time member of staff at the youth centre and he said one of his greatest achievements has been his involvement with Community Games.

He said: ?Community Games provides people of all ages and abilities to come together to enjoy sport and culture in a fun environment.

It has been rewarding to see young people, who were inspired by London 2012, take part in a range of different sporting and cultural activities through the Community Games programme.?

Minister Robertson said:

?When the Olympic Torch arrived in Downing Street this time last year, it received a tremendous reception from the British public.

?As we approach the one-year anniversary of the start of the Games, it is fantastic to hear that communities across the country are coming together, inspired by the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

?We very much hope that even more communities follow the great example that the ?Shining Lights? and get involved in the Olympic legacy.?It will be a pleasure to present Anthony with his ?Shining Light? jersey.?

The ?Shining Lights? represent 33,500 others across the country who are helping to keep the spirit of the Games alive in their communities.

On Saturday, the anniversary of the Games, Anthony, along with the 69 other ?Shining Lights? will receive a special thank you from Lord Coe at a celebratory reception being held in their honour.

Feds raid medical marijuana dispensaries in Washington state ? where possession is legal

By M. Alex Johnson, Staff Writer, NBC News

Federal agents raided several medical marijuana dispensaries Wednesday in Washington ? a state which just decriminalized the drug last year.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Seattle office confirmed in a brief statement that "several search warrants were executed today involving marijuana storefronts" in the Puget Sound region around Seattle.

It gave no further details, and the number of raids remained unclear Wednesday evening.

---

One of the dispensaries was the Bayside Collective in Olympia, the state capital, where seven government vehicles converged Wednesday morning.

Agents with guns drawn seized business records and about $2,500 worth of marijuana intended for cancer patients, Casey Lee, who works at the clinic, told NBC station KING of Seattle.

"It's humiliating," Lee said. "They don't get to see the cancer patients."

Washington was one of the first states to legalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana last year. But it remains illegal under federal law, and Lee claimed one of the agents told him, "Things are going to be hell for you."

"One of the DEA agents said: 'This is your second raid and your third robbery. Why do you keep doing this?'" Lee said.

"I just told him it's because we just enjoy helping people, and he told us that he wasn't expecting that answer."

Skipping breakfast may increase coronary heart disease risk

[unable to retrieve full-text content]A large 16-year study finds men who reported that they skipped breakfast had higher risk of heart attack or death from coronary heart disease. The timing of meals, whether it?s missing a meal in the morning or eating a meal very late at night, may cause adverse metabolic effects that lead to coronary heart disease. Even after accounting for modest differences in diet, physical activity, smoking and other lifestyle factors, the association between skipping breakfast (or eating very late at night) and coronary heart disease persisted.

Utah ISP breaks silence over government server installed on its network

When the government comes knocking on your door, you kind of have to cooperate with them or face the consequences. That's the situation Pete Ashdown, CEO of Utah ISP XMission, was faced with in 2010 after receiving a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Service Act (FISA). The warrant, coming in at just three or four pages, was perfectly clear: install a rack-mount server on your network to track every last bit going in and out from one of your customers, and don't say anything to anyone about this. Ashdown's lawyer said the request was indeed legit, and the box stayed there for a little over half a year. So why talk about it now? Because Pete, like the rest of us, wants a bit of transparency, even if there's a risk the G-Men will come "come back and haunt" him.
