"I heard about nine shots. I turned and looked at 10th and Burleigh and noticed a man and a little boy laying on the ground, so I went to them. The older man was lying face down on the ground. The little boy, he was up, with multiple shots. His eyes were rolling to the back of his head, so I started talking to him to t... |

Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Kamala Harrisare both potential 2020 contenders. |
Just over half of Americans are "very comfortable" with the prospect of a female commander in chief, according to a new report released this week by the consulting firm Kantar Public. |
On this question, the US came in third among G7 nations - behind the UK and Canada. |
This comes as women, particularly in the Democratic party, have been elected into office in the US in historic numbers. |
According to the report, 52% would feel "very comfortable" with a woman at the head of government, and 63% would feel similarly comfortable with a woman as a CEO of a major company. |
The study surveyed 10,000 people across seven developed nations - the members of the G7 - to investigate public sentiment concerning women in leadership, and they were given a score from 0 to 100 on the Reykjavik Index for Leadership. "A score of 100 means that across society, there is complete agreement that men and w... |
Both the UK and Canada reported a higher tolerance for women in political leadership - 58% of those surveyed in the UK and 57% of those polled in Canada said they'd be "very comfortable" with a female head of government. At the low end of the spectrum, just 26% of those in Germany and 23% of those in Japan felt the sam... |
In the US, women - particularly in the Democratic party - are running for office, and winning, in unprecedented numbers. And several female politicians, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, and Kirsten Gillibrand, are likely contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. |
Some of these women have pointed to their gender as an attribute, rather than a barrier, in their pursuit of power. |
"It's time for women to go to Washington and fix our broken government, and that includes a woman at the top," Warren told supporters in September. "So here's what I promise: After November 6, I will take a hard look at running for president." |
Diplomatic-security bureau head says stability in Egypt due to Supreme Council efforts; says Tantawi committed to peace, natural gas agreements. |
Egypt’s ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces “embodies” the best of Egypt and deserves the “full support of the world,” Amos Gilad, the head of the defense ministry’s diplomatic-security bureau said on Tuesday. |
“I am very impressed by the stability and achievements of the Supreme Council,” Gilad said in a speech to journalists and diplomats at a symposium on the changing Middle East, sponsored by The Israel Project. |
Gilad said that despite recent events in Egypt, there is stability in the country – something he attributed to the “smart leadership” of Mohamed Tantawi, who since February 11 has been the de facto head of the country. |
Gilad, who has long been a key Israeli interlocutor with Egypt, added that the Supreme Council was committed to the peace agreement with Israel. |
“This [agreement] is very important, a valuable asset,” he said. |
Gilad also noted that the supply of natural gas from Egypt has been renewed, after being cut-off following an attack on the pipeline there in February – adding that the Egyptians are committed to upholding that agreement as well. |
His comments came the day that Egypt’s ruling generals met with newspaper editors and Egypt’s official news agency, and said they would not let extremist Islamist groups take over the country. |
The Egyptian general’s remarks came amid increasing apprehension that the well-organized Islamic groups – such as the Muslim Brotherhood – could win a dominant role in Egyptian politics following the secluded elections there in September. |
But, he added, the Egyptians have a “deep understanding” about the true nature of Iran, and what a nuclear Iran would mean for the Arab world. |
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The San Jose Sharks were down late against the Anaheim Ducks, but their confidence never wavered. |
To hear Logan Couture tell it, the Sharks were too naive to be afraid against the five-time defending Pacific Division winners. |
"Maybe guys are just young and they don't know better," Couture said. |
Timo Meier tied it with 53.7 seconds remaining, Joe Pavelski and Couture scored in the shootout, and the Sharks rallied to beat the Ducks 3-2 on Sunday night. |
Martin Jones made 25 saves in the Sharks' second straight win. Jones stopped Adam Henrique's shot in the first round, and Rickard Rakell hit the post in the second. |
Couture also had a goal and an assist in regulation to help San Jose move into second place in the Pacific, two points ahead of Calgary. Anaheim is tied with Los Angeles in fourth, one point behind the Flames. |
"It took 59 minutes to battle back and get it to overtime, but I liked our game tonight," Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. "I thought we played an excellent road game considering the circumstances. It was a gutsy win." |
Ondrej Kase had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who had won three straight home games. Cam Fowler also scored, Nick Ritchie had two assists and John Gibson made 37 saves. |
Meier positioned himself on the edge of the crease to tip in Couture's shot and secure at least a point for the Sharks. Ducks coach Randy Carlyle was not pleased with how passive his team was during the sequence, giving Couture a chance to let the play develop and Meier to get free in front of the net. |
"In the situation we're in, in my mind, we should have had more of a push on the guy that passed the puck and we should have had better coverage for the guy that tapped it in backdoor. He was wide-open and you can't allow that to happen," Carlyle said. |
"Actually, I was kind of surprised how much time I had," said Couture, who trimmed the deficit to 2-1 at 10:56 of the third on a wrist shot into the top corner for his team-leading 23rd goal. "I just saw (Meier's) stick in the lane, and he's a big, strong guy, so he was able to put it in the net." |
Fowler's seventh goal of the season put the Ducks ahead 2-0 at 6:28 of the third. |
Anaheim jumped in front on Kase's third goal in the last four games. Kase sped in down the right boards and fired a long shot that snuck in between Jones' legs 2:39 into the opening period. |
Jones seemed rattled by the play and nearly gave up another goal a minute later after losing track of Derek Grant's shot at his own feet. But Jones settled in by making a glove save on a shot by Chris Wagner after the Sharks turned the puck over in their own zone. |
The Ducks had plenty of chances to extend their lead in the first. Andrew Cogliano had a look at an open net only for the bouncing puck to skip over his stick, and Rakell put a one-timer wide of goal during Anaheim's first of two power plays in the period. |
Corey Perry had a power-play goal with 18 seconds remaining in the first overturned on a successful challenge by the Sharks, with defenseman Kevin Bieksa being ruled offside. |
"We had our chances. We had our opportunity and we lost a point, so we're not going to get all doom and gloom," Carlyle said. |
The Ducks are 9-3-1 at home since the start of December, but the Sharks have handed them two of those regulation losses. They won 6-2 at Honda Center on Jan. 21 and went 3-0-1 in the season series. |
NOTES: Bieksa played in his 800th career game. . Sharks RW Joel Ward (shoulder) missed his second straight game. . Ducks C Antoine Vermette was a healthy scratch for the second time in three games. Derek Grant replaced Vermette on the fourth line. |
Sharks: Host the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday to open a three-game homestand. |
Ducks: Visit the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday to begin a four-game trip. |
Given its recent devastation by bushfires (which continue as we write) the Australian state of Victoria could do with a good news story. And this might be it. A design has been unveiled for a suburb only two kiliometres from the central business district of Melbourne that will be free of cars. The think tank behind the... |
They plan for the new development to be based around walking, cycling and electric vehicles, which a car share type facility available on the precinct's fringes.They haven't limited their ambition there though.Known by the rather unimaginative name of Eco-City Melbourne, the otherwise inspiring proposal also includes f... |
The new suburb is expected to "treat all its own sewage and use some of the resultant methane for power production. There would also be urban wind towers and solar panels to produce electricity." |
Not bad for a location that is only a 25 minute walk to the heart of the city. |
But it's all pie in the sky just yet. Although the site is the last major development area left close to the city centre, the state government's rail service currently owns the land and its lease doesn't expire until 2014. But this hasn't stopped the 200 students, who developed the Eco-City idea, from dreaming. |

pain's two-year, job-wrecking recession eased in the second quarter of 2013, official data showedon Thursday, as Madrid anticipated an imminent, export-powered end to the downturn. |
Spain's two-year, job-wrecking recession eased in the second quarter of 2013, official data showed on Thursday, as Madrid anticipated an imminent, export-powered end to the downturn. |
Activity in the eurozone's fourth largest economy shrank by 0.1 percent in the April-June period when compared to the previous quarter, the National Statistics Institute said in a report. |
The shallow decline, which compared to a 0.4-percent drop in the first quarter of the year, will raise hopes that Spain is set to shake off a stubborn, double-dip recession that pushed the unemployment rate to 26.26 percent in the second quarter. |
A property market crash in 2008 plunged Spain into a recession, destroyed millions of jobs, left banks awash in bad loans and plunged the government deep into debt. |
The economy emerged only gingerly from that downturn in 2010 before sliding back into recession in mid-2011. |
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's conservative government and the Bank of Spain now hope the downward cycle may be close to an end, both saying the economy could post growth in the third quarter, propelled by growing exports and a surge in tourism. |
On an annual basis the economy contracted by 1.6 percent in the second quarter following a 2.0 percent decline in the first three months of the year. |
The European Commission predicts the Spanish economy will shrink by 1.5 percent this year while the International Monetary Fund forecasts a decline of 1.6 percent. |
The statistics agency also reported provisional data showing that inflation slowed in August to 1.6 percent from 1.9 percent in July, as increases in fuel and lubricant prices slowed. |

Presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand is to attend a fundraiser at the home of Sally Susman, a top Pfizer executive, on March 31, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. |
Tickets cost $1,000 to $2,700, these people added. |
Susman is a major figure in Democratic fundraising circles. She was a lead bundler for President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. |
CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA - FEBRUARY 18: U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand speaks to guests during a campaign stop at the Chrome Horse Saloon on February 18, 2019 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. |
A senior executive at pharmaceutical giant Pfizer will host a campaign fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, CNBC has learned. |
Gillibrand is slated to attend a March 31 fundraiser at the New York home of Sally Susman, Pfizer's executive vice president and chief corporate affairs officer, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. Ticket prices range from $1,000 to $2,700, these people added. |
Susman, who supported Gillibrand's Senate runs, has also been privately telling friends she's likely to fully support Gillibrand's presidential bid, according to one of the people familiar with the discussions. The Pfizer executive was also a lead bundler for President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, accordin... |
"Sally Susman is major Democratic fundraiser," said a New York donor familiar with the planned gathering. "Having her in your corner is a good get, and, at the end of the day, Kirsten's got to show that she has real support in New York." |
A Pfizer spokeswoman declined to comment. Meredith Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Gillibrand campaign, did not return repeated requests for comment. |
The fundraiser comes at a time when Gillibrand and many other 2020 hopefuls are trying to distance themselves from big money donors and appeal to grassroots voters who usually donate less than $200. |
On the night of her announcement declaring she will run for president, Gillibrand tweeted that her campaign had successfully raked in small donations from all 50 states and promised not to accept contributions from political action committees run by corporations. |
Among all the candidates running for the White House, Sen. Bernie Sanders has had the most success appealing to small-dollar donors. His campaign announced this week he raised just shy of $6 million in the first 24 hours of his bid for president with an average donation of $27. Gillibrand's campaign has yet to announce... |
Throughout Gillibrand's last run for Senate, 32 percent of her donations came from voters who wrote checks for less than $200, data from the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics show. She raised just over 59 percent through larger contributions. Employees at Pfizer gave a total $75,345 to Gillibrand's campaign la... |
Her alliance with Susman could benefit Gillibrand as she tries to appeal to the LGBTQ community. Susman is an openly gay executive and a member of Out Leadership, a business networking organization for up-and-coming LGBTQ corporate leaders. |
Susman also comes from a family of powerful Democratic financiers, potentially giving Gillibrand exclusive access to a wide network of donors she will need in what will likely be an expensive primary. |
Her father, Louis Susman, was ambassador to the Court of St. James's under Obama. Prior to his role in the administration he was a senior advisor to Obama and the national finance chairman for John Kerry's 2004 campaign for president. Louis Susman reportedly helped raise $244 million for Kerry's presidential bid. |
New York’s colossal and crumbling mass transit system is headed toward another cliff -- this one financial.

The authority’s su... |
The ability of the MTA to sustain its operations is contingent on securing recurring revenue sources beginning in 2020 and beyond. The budget adopted in December 2018 forecasts through 2022 and reports the MTA will issue $12 billion in bonds to pay for asset replacements, like tracks, signals, trains, and buses, and co... |
