Thailand’s prime minister calls it his country’s worst incident ever. Monday's pipe bomb at the famed Erawan Shrine killed at least 20 and injured more than 100.

Investigators said a newborn baby boy was killed and buried in the backyard of a home in southwest Bakersfield. 43-year-old Beant Kaur Dillion and 47-year-old Jagsir Singh were both arrested in connection to the case. |
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A woman allegedly killed a baby boy hours after he was born and buried him in the backyard of a home in Southwest Bakersfield, according to BPD. |
On Tuesday, February 26, Bakersfield Police responded to a residence in the 5200 block of Shining Crag Avenue in Southwest Bakersfield for a possible homicide. BPD says the investigation revealed that a teen gave birth to a live baby boy at the residence in November of 2018. Within hours of the birth, BPD says 43-year-... |
According to BPD, the alleged victim told her school what happened and the school contacted authorities. |
BPD says investigators discovered the baby boy's body in the backyard of the house. |
23ABC obtained photos from a neighbor showing what appears to be BPD detectives searching through a large stone planter in the backyard of the home. |
Beant Kaur Dhillon, 43, was arrested for murder and felony child abuse. Jagsir Singh, 47, was arrested in connection with the investigation for felony child abuse, and conspiracy. |
Singh posted bail and was released Wednesday night. Two children were taken into protective custody from the house. |
Singh and Dhillon are husband and wife, according to neighbors who spoke to 23ABC. |
Police have not said how the couple is related to the teen, to protect the identity of the teen. |
Dhillon is scheduled to be in court Thursday at 3 p.m. Singh is scheduled to be in court March 13 at 8 a.m. |
Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call Detective Littlefield (661) 326-3558 or the Bakersfield Police Department at (661) 327-7111. |
A 12-year-old boy is the only survivor from the crash of a light commercial plane in a mountainous region of Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua that left eight others dead. |
The Swiss-made Pilatus PC-6 Porter single-engine plane operated by Dimonin Air was reported missing on Saturday during a 45-minute flight from Tanah Merah in Boven Digul district to Oksibil, the district capital of Pegunungan Bintang, bordering Papua New Guinea. The plane crashed near Oksibil airport. |
Colonel Jonathan Binsar Sianipar said the boy, identified only as Jumaidi, was the only person found alive. He is conscious in hospital. |
The plane with two pilots and seven passengers lost contact after communicating with the control tower in Oksibil just before it was due to land on Saturday, said local police chief Michael Mumbunan. The cause of the crash was not clear. |
Planes are the only practical way of reaching many part of Papua. |
Indonesia has been plagued by transport accidents on land, sea and air because of overcrowding on ferries, aging infrastructure and poorly enforced safety standards. |
Remember that an Analytic is more than a Metric; it provides insights that help the business make decisions. The key difference is that analytics slice and dice the data on an ad-hoc basis in real time or near real time. Metrics, on the other hand, represent numeric information generated by calculations often derived f... |
Make sure security analytics are aligned to the overall organization risk framework. For example, if a key performance indictor (KPI) is based on the number of orders, then revenue affected on orders lost due to security incidents could be a metric of interest to both security teams and the business. The need to presen... |
Security analytics and metrics are as important to the business as any other key performance indicator - such as liquidity, cash flow, or growth in sales or revenue. Today, more boards and leadership teams are demanding that key security analytics and metrics be included in the operational risk portfolio. This puts pre... |
Security analytics, when properly designed and implemented, can deliver much-needed insights in mapping the size, scale and scope of risks. Analytics can provide a basis for root cause analysis and remediation strategies across policies, processes and, ultimately, investments in technologies. But what’s the best way to... |
The DA can confirm that two South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board members, John Mattison and Khanyisile Kweyama have indeed resigned from the public broadcaster. At this stage, it appears no official resignation letters has been sent to the SABC, Parliament or the President. We can also confirm that there... |
Mattison’s resignation from the board is unfortunate, he has decades of experience in the broadcasting sector and institutional knowledge which would have served the board well in its current financial dire straits. Kweyama was simply over-committed, with being Chairperson of the Passenger Rail Association of South Afr... |
We trust that Mattison and Kweyama’s resignations do not have to do with the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) investigation into the awarding of a security tender by the interim board in which they served. The tender was awarded to Mafoko Security by the interim board in 2017 despite it being ranked second in a biddin... |
In July this year, the President issued a Proclamation for the SIU to investigate the awarding of the contract valued at over R185 million. |
The SIU confirmed in Parliament last week that it is preparing criminal and disciplinary referrals regarding the awarding of the security tender and had submitted a status update on the investigation to the SABC board Chairperson, Bongumusa Makhathini on 14 September 2018. An interim report was provided to the Presiden... |
We are also aware that the ANC is allegedly trying to collapse the SABC board by rendering it inquorate and therefore unable to make any legally binding decisions. It is election season, and the ANC does not want an independent board. The SABC is key in communicating the ANC’s “good story,” and an independent board tha... |
The ANC is using the excuse of “saving jobs” by halting retrenchments, but it knows full well that the SABC is commercially insolvent and its staff bloated. The only reason the SABC would want to collapse the board would be to install an interim board that would be at its beck and call. Its concern is not the staff of ... |
On the other hand, as the DA, while we understand that the SABC’s staff is bloated, we are against retrenchments that are not based on an independently conducted skills and salary audit, otherwise SABC staff may lose their jobs unjustly. We await the SABC’s presentation in January and trust that it will present this in... |
It is highly unfortunate that at a time when the SABC should be focused on steering its ship to calm waters, political interference is once again causing chaos at the SABC. We also await the SIU’s final report on the awarding of the security tender, and if wrongdoing by the members of the interim board is found, they m... |
Kenneth Walter Holt, 81, passed away early Saturday morning at the Ennis Care Center. |
Kenneth was born in Ennis, Texas on November 1, 1929 to his father, Pleasant Kennan and mother, Lucinda Nash. He spent his entire childhood growing up in Ennis. He graduated from Ennis High School in 1947. In 1973 he married the love of his life, Anna Rose Bolger, from Dallas. They made their home in Ennis five years l... |
Soon after his high school graduation he became a member of the Southern Pacific Railroad working as a Car Man. His true passion in life was trains, and his career with the railroad lasted nearly forty years until he retired. |
Besides working on the railroad all the live long day he also enjoyed hunting, fishing, reading, and cooking. He really loved the out doors and the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico. He was a true country boy. |
He is survived by two sons, John Robert Holt and his wife D’Anna of Kerens, Richard Kelly Holt and his wife Christy of Sardis, one daughter, Lori Ann Greco and her husband Michael of Burnet. He also has twelve grandchildren and four great grand children. |
He is preceded in death by his parents, wife, five brothers and one sister. |
A memorial service was held for Kenneth at 2 p.m. yesterday at the J.E. Keever mortuary Chapel in Ennis. Brother Wes Johnson of Kerens Baptist Church officated. In Lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be given to the American Diabetes Association. |

Business leaders reveal Cameron scaled back ambitions for European Union reform | City A.M. |
Business leaders have urged the Prime Minister not to ditch far-reaching plans he once made for the European Union. |
A new report highlights ten policy areas where David Cameron once claimed he was seeking ambitious reform in the EU. |
It suggests that a number of these demands, however, have been watered down or even dropped as his negotiations get underway in Europe. |
The report, backed by Eurosceptic company bosses, states that one of the areas that Cameron has not mentioned recently is opting out of EU social and employment laws. |
It argued that Cameron has not mentioned this since 2012, while he used to attack the EU's "damaging social role". |
Other previous demands which the report urges him to deliver include cutting red tape for business and reducing EU finances. |
The Business for Britain group states that their report is intended to outline the reforms Cameron has previously proposed, and express hopes he will deliver on them. |
They have published a video highlighting the policies they would like to see implemented by the government. |
Mr. Netanyahu’s political life depends on a chaotic Middle East and foremost a military confrontation with Iran. Today, Mr. Netanyahu is the most dangerous man in the world which enjoys Mr. Trump’s complete support. |
Today, the internet, often thought of as our world’s “final frontier” for free thinkers and the flow and exchange of ideas and information, is seriously ill. It has been systemically infected by ideological viruses, memes of information intent on poisoning freedom of expression that we take for granted every time we us... |

Andy Roddick found himself in a familiar spot last weekend when he lost in the finals of the Cincinnati Masters to the top-ranked player, Roger Federer. |
It was his 10th loss in 11 matches against the Swiss star, and the straight-set defeat reminded Roddick just how dominant Federer has become. |
Federer has won Wimbledon three straight times, and next week looks to defend his U.S. Open title. Roddick, who scored his lone Grand Slam victory in Flushing Meadows two years ago, hopes to get in his way. |
Roddick will be battling a sore right foot stemming from an injury he suffered last week in Cincinnati. |
Yesterday, Roddick sounded relatively certain that he would be at full strength in time for the Open. |
Federer is far from Roddick’s only obstacle. The 19-year-old phenom Rafael Nadal beat Federer in the semis at the French Open en route to winning it all at Roland Garros. |
Hillary Clinton Drops 'Mean Girls' on Prez Trump ... Obsessed Much?!? |
Donald Trump thought he landed a nice jab at Hillary Clinton by basking in her decision not to run in 2020 -- but looks like she's getting the last laugh ... and Regina George would love it! |
DT took the first shot Tuesday, tweeting -- naturally -- his response to "Crooked" Hillary not running ... "'Aw-shucks, does that mean I won’t get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!" |
Hillary did promise to continue fighting for what she believes in ... and looks like giving Trump the business is on that list. After his Twitter-diss she clapped back "Mean Girls" style. |
She posted a classic GIF of Rachel McAdams' character asking Janis why she's so obsessed with her. Hard to argue with that -- years after his 2016 victory, POTUS never passes up an opportunity to reference her ... and never glowingly. |
Funny enough, a Twitter account for the Embassy of Israel responded to the Ayatollah with the same thing when the Iranian dictator went on a tirade against the country. |
BTW, can we all stop trying to make "Mean Girls" happen again? It's so NOT fetch! |
ALBANY — Newly retired New York City teachers and administrators took home average annual pensions of as much as $87,945 last year, according to a report released Thursday. |
The data released by the Empire Center for Public Policy said the average pension payments for all 79,742 retirees in New York City public schools was $43,701 in 2016. |
By comparison, the average pension for those who retired with at least 30 years' experience in 2015 — and were paid in 2016 — was $68,796. It was even higher for those with at least 35 years of experience — $87,945. |
The largest city school pension in 2016, according to the Empire Center, went to Patricia Filomena, who retired in 2015 and a year later collected $290,686 after accruing 52 years of service credit in a since-closed benefits tier. |
Filomena, a union district 7 representative who spent 32 years as an instructor at Public School 18 in the South Bronx, couldn't be reached for comment Thursday. |
"We want people to look at pensions as part of the package deal when you're talking about compensation," said Empire Center spokesman Ken Girardin. |
He added the city and state need to look at different ways to bring retirement costs down. |
"It's definitely an outmoded way to fund retirements when you look at how the private sector has moved toward defined contribution retirement plans," Girardin said. "Every year we remain in the pension business, we're putting taxpayers who haven't even been born yet on the hook for paying benefits 50 or 60 years from n... |
Alison Gendar, a spokeswoman for the city United Federation of Teachers, defended the pensions. |

The Zipper, which opened in September, is a project of Guerilla Development, the folks behind the micro-restaurant complex The Ocean a few blocks away -- not to mention the unbuilt but nonetheless controversial Fair-Haired Dumbbell at the Burnside bridgehead -- and is the second take on that project's mini-retailer mod... |
On a good night, The Zipper buzzes with families and groups of young people filling the dining room, sipping beers and cocktails from the excellent Paydirt bar, sharing dishes from the restaurants that open onto the cafeteria-like space. It feels like a destination, especially when an adventurous group of smokers gets ... |
The best food to be had at The Zipper, hands down, comes from this minimalist Middle-Eastern joint. Owner Yair Maidan got his start slinging falafel from a cart -- one of the Oregonian's best of 2013 -- parked in front of a North Portland homebrew shop. He hasn't added a whole lot to the menu at the new restaurant. The... |

Instead of venerating our soldiers, we should take better care of them. |
Rebecca A. Adelman is associate professor of media & communication studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and author of "Figuring Violence: Affective Investments in Perpetual War." |
“Wouldn’t it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner?” President Trump mused last month. |
With that conjecture about the leadership of Admiral William McRaven, whom he succinctly dismissed as a “Hillary Clinton fan” and “Obama backer,” Trump provoked yet another scandal about presidential comportment. Of course, it’s hardly news that Trump criticized someone seemingly unassailable; indeed, his swipe at Chie... |
But like Trump’s insistence that the late Sen. John McCain was “not a war hero,” his criticism of McRaven rankled in a newsworthy way because it grated against our sense that military personnel ought to be publicly venerated. The ritual of saying thank you to the troops is now an established, almost demanded, response ... |
