Can we determine the cause of the Capitol shooting?

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 10/05/2013 - 11:51
After the lockdown on the area surrounding the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., was removed and the identity of the woman who was shot and killed Thursday was revealed to be Stamford, Conn., dental hygienist Miriam Carey, 34, it was also revealed that she suffered from post-partum depression. Carey ignored barricades in an attempt to ram through the White House gate, according to a report of the incident, and rammed her vehicle into a police cruiser.

Allvoices Writers' Resources: Writing stronger ledes

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 10/05/2013 - 11:49
How do you get readers to keep reading after that first sentence? You make them want to. And how do you make them want to? By making the first sentence – known as the lede in journalism parlance – as strong as you possibly can. Different kinds of stories require different kinds of ledes, but all good ledes have one thing in common: They compel readers to keep reading. And as a general rule, the structure of a lede should be in the active voice, not passive. A lede for a breaking news story, for example, will have an entirely different tone and structure than a lede for a feature story.

Western world shrugs as millions of refugees seek sanctuary in Europe

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 10/05/2013 - 11:48
The disaster where at least 300 African migrants drowned when a boat capsized off the Italian coast Thursday is the latest tragedy involving refugees. It highlights the fact that tens of thousands of people are taking desperate measures and risks to escape conflict in their home countries. The latest example occurred as a boat left Libya carrying about 500 passengers from Eritrea and Somalia who were trying to reach the Italian island of Lampedusa – a favorite point of entry for those seeking asylum and safety in Europe. In July, Pope Francis visited the island and decried the “globalizatio

San Francisco’s Sunset District lies on the southwestern edge of the city, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and separated from downtown by Twin Peaks and Mount Sutro to the east. After a virtually summer-long absence, the sun returns to this notoriously foggy neighborhood each year around the beginning of autumn, just in time for Hardly Strictly, the free bluegrass festival in Golden Gate Park that kicked off Friday afternoon.

Drug journalist assaulted US marshal, jury says

An advocacy reporter with Berkeley, Calif.'s Pacifica radio station KPFA assaulted a US marshal at a drug protest, a federal jury has decided. The attack occurred on April 2, 2012, as agents raided California's premier cannabis trade school, Oaksterdam University in downtown Oakland. Founded in November 2007, the for-profit non-accredited academy served the state's $1 billion medical marijuana industry, which blossomed after the 1996 legalization of medicinal marijuana.

Ireland votes on scrapping upper house of parliament

Cash-strapped Ireland voted in a referendum on Friday on whether to back Prime Minister Enda Kenny's controversial proposals to abolish the upper house of parliament. Opinion polls say voters will likely back the plans to scrap the Seanad, or Senate, which Kenny believes is elitist and ineffective, but turnout figures appeared low before polls closed at 2100 GMT. The count begins on Saturday and the results are expected over the weekend. In the Dublin North West constituency, just over 22 percent of the electorate had cast their vote by 1930 GMT, while in Dublin Central 24 percent cast thei

Chile group wants Pinochet 'dictatorship' in textbooks

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 10/05/2013 - 01:44
A Chilean education advisory group recommended Friday that schools use "dictatorship" rather than "military regime" in textbooks to describe General Augusto Pinochet's rule marred by rights abuses. The decision by the National Education Council represents a shift over how Chile brands the 1973-1990 era that saw Pinochet brutally crack down on anything that smacked of leftist dissent, leaving more than 3,200 people dead and arresting some 38,000. "In this case, since time has passed, let's get straight to the point and use the word 'dictatorship,'" council president Ignacio Irarrazaval told R

Rwanda president slams US sanctions over child soldiers

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 10/05/2013 - 01:44
Rwandan President Paul Kagame on Friday angrily condemned a US decision to impose sanctions against his country for allegedly backing rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo who recruit child soldiers. Kagame said the decision would only play into the hands of other rebels made up of remnants of Hutu extremists who carried out the 1994 Rwandan genocide. "It benefits those enemies of our country who seek to destroy what we are trying to build," Kagame said in a speech to parliament. The United Nations accuses Rwanda of backing the M23 rebels in neighbouring eastern DR Congo, a charge the

At least 14 people died on Friday when a bus hurtled down a hillside on the outskirts of Mexico City, ejecting six victims through the windows and leaving 25 injured, police said. Before it careened off the highway, the bus was en route to the city of Toluca in the hills of the State of Mexico, which surrounds much of the capital. "There wasn't a collision with another vehicle, but instead the bus veered off the asphalt and plunged down the mountainside about 100 or 120 meters," Miguel Angel Contreras, the attorney general of the State of Mexico, told reporters.

UN urges Tuareg rebels to resume Mali peace talks

The UN's envoy to Mali, Bert Koenders, on Friday urged Tuareg and Arab rebels to return to peace talks with the Bamako government, amid a resurgence of violence in the north of the country. The rebels, who are fighting for autonomy in northern Mali, announced in late September that they were pulling out of talks with the government. The move dealt a blow to hopes of a durable peace in the troubled west African country, which only elected a new president in August after 18 months of political crisis sparked by a military coup in March last year. Violence returned to northern Mali the day aft
