"The man accused of fatally stabbing two men in Portland, Oregon, when they tried to shield young women from his anti-Muslim tirade, made repeated outbursts in court on Tuesday, including shouting: “You call it terrorism, I call it patriotism!”

Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, was in Multnomah County courtroom Tuesday afternoon for his first court appearance on two counts of felony aggravated murder and other charges for the Friday attack.

Authorities say Christian started verbally abusing two young women, including one wearing a hijab. Three men on the train intervened before police say Christian attacked them, killing two and wounding one. "

That's because after the conclusion of the season's second grand slam tennis is about to get louder -- much louder.
Grand slam winners Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka have long been considered two of the loudest grunters in tennis and the sounds stemming from their mouths -- instead of their tennis rackets -- might just attract more attention at Wimbledon in July."

"Theresa May sought to relaunch her general election campaign on Tuesday with her strongest personal attack on Jeremy Corbyn, claiming the Labour leader’s performance in Monday night’s live television debate showed he would be “naked in the negotiating chamber” when Brexit talks start next month.

Corbyn and the prime minister both faced questions from a live television audience – and from Jeremy Paxman – with the Labour leader pressed on issues including renewing the Trident nuclear weapons system, and launching a drone strike against a suspected terrorist.

"Jeremy Corbyn was unable to say how much his key childcare pledge would cost during a radio appearance in which he was launching the policy.

In a car crash interview with BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour the Labour leader was asked what funding would be needed to provide free childcare to all two to four-year-olds - one of the party's flagship policies. "

"During October, 2015, it was abnormally hot in San Diego. Daytime temperatures soared into the high 90s, and evenings were only modestly cooler. Night after night, the heat kept Nick Obradovich awake. His friends and colleagues were having the same experience, sleepless at night, lethargic and grumpy during the day. “Clearly the heat was taking a toll,” he said. “It was just too hot to sleep.”

After several nights of tossing and turning, Obradovich — who studies how people interact with climate — decided he would investigate how global warming will impact sleep quality, and who might suffer the most."
