| Two golden retrievers that were trapped in the woods on Cape Cod for two weeks were reunited with their owner after one of the dogs broke free and helped her track his four-legged brother. The pups, four-year-old Baxter and six-year-old Bailey, were tied together in front of their home in Sandwich, Massachusetts, on September 26 when they somehow got loose and took off into the woods. The dogs' owner, Penny Blackwell, was inconsolable. She put up fliers in the area and took to Facebook, posting a plea asking anyone who might have seen her pets to contact her.

US President Barack Obama has voiced concern to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about reports that Syria has used chemical weapons. In a phone conversation, the two leaders agreed to stay in touch on the issue, tasking their foreign ministers to hold further talks. The US earlier said it had "varying degrees of confidence" that chemical weapons had been used in Syria. The government in Damascus have denounced the claims as "lies". [Snip] In a statement, the White House said on Monday that Mr Obama and Mr Putin talked on the phone on Monday, with the US leader "underscoring his

It is Syria’s misfortune that its torment at the hands of Bashar al-Assad and his murderous cronies had to come after the West’s ordeals in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in the wake of a global financial crisis that has left accountants in charge of foreign policy. Wearied and broke, we have no appetite for another military adventure. Our impotence in the face of daily horrors from Damascus, Homs, Deraa, Aleppo and countless other places martyred in the savagery of this civil war is obvious to the world.[Snip] Now we are reduced to wringing our hands on the sidelines

It may be her second wedding anniversary, but it was business as usual for the Duchess of Cambridge as she visited a children’s hospice today. Kate, 31, was without husband Prince William during the engagement at the Naomi House Children’s Hospice in Hampshire to mark Children’s Hospice Week. According to sources, William is on shift as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot in Anglesey on the anniversary of their Westminster Abbey wedding in 2011--which is normally celebrated with a gift of cotton. However it is believed the couple enjoyed a private weekend away in Norfolk to mark the occasion.

A striking set of figures was just released today by the independent Government Accountability Institute in Washington, analysing “how much time President Obama has spent in economic meetings of any kind, Presidential Daily Briefs (PDBs) and personal recreation (vacations and golf outings).” The Institute’s study covers the first 1,532 days of President Obama’s time in office, up until March 31, 2013. (hat tip: Drudge Report) Here are the main findings of the Government Accountability Institute’s report: • President Obama has spent 3.6 % of his total work time in economic meetings or briefings of any kind (assuming

A vote in the EU has paved the way for the European Commission to restrict the use of pesticides linked to bee deaths in scientific studies. There is great concern across Europe about the collapse of bee populations. Neonicotinoid chemicals in pesticides are believed to harm bees and the European Commission says they should be restricted to crops not attractive to bees and other pollinators. But many farmers and crop experts argue that there is insufficient data. Fifteen countries voted in favour of a ban--not enough to form a qualified majority. According to EU rules the Commission will now impose

This Thursday´s council elections are going to be a rout for the Tories, that much we know. The only real question is are we talking Towton or Passchendaele?[Snip] The news I hear from Dick Delingpole--who is so busy campaigning as UKIP candidate for the Worcester Riverside seat that he hasn´t had time to blog about it--is that he hardly has to bother canvassing passers-by: as soon as they see which party he´s representing they come up and say: "Don´t worry mate I was going to vote for you anyhow". My father, Malcolm UKIP´s candidate in Tenbury, reports similar enthusiasm.

If British academics are training Iran’s nuclear physicists, should we be told? We know that the Foreign Office is concerned about the threat of a hostile regime putting students on British university courses that would give them the knowledge to build weapons of mass destruction and the missile systems to deliver them. We also know that in 2007 at least 60 Iranians were admitted to Britain to student postgraduate courses deemed “proliferation sensitive” by the security services, including nuclear physics, microbiology and chemical engineering. There are horrifying precedents. Rihab Taha, the Iraqi microbiologist known as "Dr Germ", studied for

The Charleston community woke up to good news on April 9, reading that the Boeing Corporation would be adding 2,000 jobs to its sprawling plant in North Charleston. That kind of news doesn´t come nearly as often as we would like, and it´s cause for genuine celebration for the region. Charleston is already on the map as a leading global tourism destination, and now it is a leading center for the aerospace industry as well. But while celebrating this great news, it´s important to remember how close that plant came to never opening at all.

The presidential election was nearly four months ago but data is just coming in and providing clues to why President Obama easily defeated GOP candidate Mitt Romney. In 2012, tor the first time in history blacks voted at a higher rate than any other group. Contrarily the white vote dipped as many voters opted not to go to the polls. Had whites voted with the same turnout of 2004, Mitt Romney would have likely won the election. The data, aggregated by William H. Frey, a demographer with the Brooks Institution, also showed that 2012 voter turnout was roughly 58 percent

Christmas has come early for Nigel Farage and his party’s growing base of supporters, currently comprising around 17 percent of the British electorate. Ken Clarke’s deeply unpleasant attack on Ukip as "clowns with no positive policies" ahead of this Thursday’s local government elections across England and Wales is the equivalent of a desperate Kamikaze pilot flying into an aircraft carrier in a futile attempt to alter the course of the war. As The Telegraph’s Sadie Gray reports, Ken Clarke backed David Cameron’s demeaning (and wholly unfair) description of Ukip voters in 2006 as "fruitcakes,

The scheme has been criticised by Palestinian human rights groups, who point out that Hamas has previously banned sport from the school curriculum on the grounds that there is not enough time for it. Hamas authorities introduced the ´Futuwwa´, or youth programme into the state curriculum last September for 37,000 Palestinian boys aged between 15 and 17, conceiving it as a scheme intended to initiate a new generation of Palestinian men in the struggle against Israel.

Michelle Obama did not walk the E!-streamed red carpet before tonight´s White House Correspondents´ Dinner — she was already at home, of course — so our first glimpse of her black Monique Lhuillier gown came later, once dinner started. And damn does she look good. This is a sexier look on her than usual, with a sheer lace panel over her decolletage and a molded bustier-style top. She very wisely chose a dress that photographs well while she´s sitting down, Schiaparelli-style, with elaborate beading along her collarbone and fitted cap sleeves that flatter her arms.

Over five years after Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses and demolished the notion that white voters wouldn’t support a black presidential candidate, progress for other African-American politicians remains elusive. Even as the country elected and re-elected Obama, making it seem increasingly unremarkable to have a black family in the White House, African-Americans are scarce and bordering on extinct in the U.S. Senate and governorships. The president is indeed exceptional - but in the wrong sense of the phrase as it applies to other black politicians. Consider what has taken place, or not taken place,

Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to "transactional sex" for survival. The resolution, from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and a dozen other Democrats, says the results of climate change include drought and reduced agricultural output. It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women. "[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health,"

Washington - America´s blacks voted at a higher rate than other minority groups in 2012 and by most measures surpassed the white turnout for the first time, reflecting a deeply polarized presidential election in which blacks strongly supported Barack Obama while many whites stayed home. Had people voted last November at the same rates they did in 2004, when black turnout was below its current historic levels, Republican Mitt Romney would have won narrowly, according to an analysis conducted for The Associated Press. Census data and exit polling show that whites and blacks will remain

The move comes three days after they drafted Geno Smith in the second round to compete with Mark Sanchez, David Garrard and Greg McElroy for the starting quarterback spot. It ends Tebow’s 13 months as a Jet that were more memorable for all of the headlines than anything that actually happened on the field.

In the lore of the ancient Romans, Horatius was a soldier who single-handedly fought off an invading army. The Etruscans had attacked in order to impose a despot on Rome and, by holding them back while his comrades destroyed the bridge that was the only practical route to the city, this single warrior saved the free republic. Obamacare is certainly the bridge via which the forces of despotism plan to “fundamentally transform” the United States, and a decorated Iraq veteran named Matt Sissel may be the Horatius who prevents them from crossing.
