Syria’s in the Red

Israel Defense Forces’ Iron Dome, a short-range missile defence system, is positioned on a hill near Zefat, at the Golan Heights on May 5, 2013. The Israeli military deployed two batteries of the Iron Dome anti-rocket defense system to northern Israel following an escalation in tensions with Syria

The United States and Russia have agreed to push both sides in Syria to find an end to the bloodshed, offering to hold an international conference in search of peace.

In talks which stretched late into the night, US Secretary of State John Kerry met first for more than two hours with President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday and then for a further three with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

“We agreed that Russia and the United States will encourage both the Syria government and opposition groups to find a political solution,” Lavrov told reporters at a concluding news conference that ended after midnight.

Gun Fight 2.0 is Coming’

The board of the National Rifle Association has elected James W. Porter II as its president. Porter, a 64-year-old lawyer from Birmingham, Alabama, is known for his hard-line culture: he is a warrior who has worked for decades to make the NRA a more aggressive political force. His father, Irvine C. Porter, was president of the NRA in 1959 — when the son says the NRA was “a glorified shooting society.”

“They want to fundamentally transform our country and they’ve just about finished the project,” Beck told an audience of thousands Saturday evening at the NRA convention’s Stand and Fight Rally in Houston, Texas. “They feel they must regulate us until we comply, but I will not comply.”

Cleveland Kidnapping Brothers

Details of a possible fourth victim came to light during police interviews with the oldest victim, Michelle Knight, who reportedly said there was another girl at the home about 10 years ago, but disappeared.

In 2007, Ashley Summers, a 14 year old, disappeared in the same neighborhood. Initially it was believed Summers was a runaway but a few years later, police saw a potential link with the other missing girls.

Charles Ramsey, the man who helped rescue three Cleveland women presumed dead after going missing a decade ago, has become an instant Internet meme.

Prescription painkillers have topped car accidents as the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S., according to a new report. Research by the National Center for Health Statistics show that drug poisoning is now a more common way to go than being killed on the road.
