The pair met at school and later bonded over Pokemon cards, computer games such as Halo and World of Warcraft, and skateboarding. Lonely: Gunman Elliot Rodger described how he had only one friend, who had provided the only light in his life But despite both being frustrated at their lack of success with the opposite sex, they drifted apart as Rodger’s feeling towards girls became ever more hostile.

Ciro Immobile, who arguably had a good goal ruled out for offside early on, opened the scoring in the 33rd minute.

Cookie sheets. Spatulas. And, oh yeah, an idea for treating gunshot wounds. At least, that's what RevMedx found. The U.S. military had asked the medical technology company to come up with a solution for stopping gunshot and shrapnel wounds from bleeding out. The working idea was a medical version of Fix-a-Flat, the foam you squirt in punctured tires to plug up a hole. (Perhaps the military had been browsing at Pep Boys.) Instead, it was a sponge that solved the problem, says Andrew Barofsky, RevMedx's CEO. "One of the co-founders of the company, Dr. Ken Gregory, was shopping at a Williams-Sonoma and discovered this kitchen sponge that was dried and compressed. You'd bring it home, splash water under it, and it would pop up into a normal-sized kitchen sponge," he recalls.

And for 12 months, the radical militant group has done just that -- with Nigerians treating the sporadic kidnappings with disgust but resignation. But that's changed now.

Arsene Wenger passes on his tips on unlocking the @placeholder defence to star man Alexis Sanchez | Scotland vs England was a good tear-up on Tuesday night, but I cannot wait for the return of the Barclays Premier League and this is a fixture that has me licking my lips. They may not be the heavyweights of old, slugging it out at the top of the table, but Arsenal and Manchester United are still ferocious rivals. Here are the five key areas that will decide the contest. Make no mistake about it, this is a big game. Sanchez and Welbeck vs the fragile United defence United have terrible injuries, not helped by a lack of investment in defence, while Arsenal’s two attacking signings are in good form, especially Alexis Sanchez. He has 12 goals for the club and hasn’t required time to settle.

The @placeholder, immediately after the quake, forecast the height of the tsunami could reach half a meter (about 20 inches). | (CNN) -- A major earthquake struck off Japan's northeastern coast Sunday, prompting tsunami advisories that were later canceled, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.

Still, @placeholder's exact position in its family tree is likely not set in stone, he said. | (CNN) -- A dinosaur from the Middle-Late Jurassic period, found in China, gives scientists new understandings of how birds evolved, according to a Wednesday report from the journal Nature. The newly discovered species is called Aurornis xui. "Aurora" is Latin for "daybreak" or "dawn." Ornis is Greek for "bird." The last part of the name, xui, honors paleontologist Xu Xing. The dinosaur lived about 150 million years ago, said Pascal Godefroit, lead author and researcher at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels. Read about more dinosaur discoveries The critter was 51 centimeters -- about 20 inches -- long. It had teeth and probably fed on insects, Godefroit said.

To leave, would be a jump into a void,’ he said.‘It would be a brave decision for @placeholder to go it alone. | By James Chapman PUBLISHED: 12:49 EST, 14 February 2013 | UPDATED: 02:52 EST, 15 February 2013 Sir John Major: The former Prime Minister has urged Conservative Eurosceptics to keep quiet Sir John Major warned ‘irreconcilable’ Conservative Eurosceptics to keep quiet today as he warned they are undermining David Cameron’s attempts to claw back powers from Brussels ahead of an in/out referendum on Britain’s EU membership.The former prime minister described Mr Cameron’s decision to promise a referendum in 2017 as a ‘gamble’ that could lead to Britain’s exit from Europe and warned the issue had ‘come close to destroying the Conservative Party’ in the past.Calling for the Prime Minister to appoint a Cabinet minister as his ‘lead negotiator’ ahead of the referendum, even if it means overruling the Liberal Democrats, Sir John was scathing about Eurosceptic rebel MPs.He said those who believed it was ‘helpful’ for the Prime Minister to receive unsolicited advice about which powers should be repatriated, since it demonstrates to other EU colleagues the strength of feeling in Britain, were ‘quite wrong’.‘Such advice, given publicly, will undermine the Prime Minister’s negotiating position. He will be seen to be acting under political duress, rather than principle and conviction - and his hand will be weakened,’ Sir John said.In a reference to his own battles with those he infamously described as Eurosceptic ‘bastards’, the former prime minister added: ‘I know that because I have been there’.Speaking at the Chatham House foreign policy think tank in London, Sir John, making a rare intervention into contemporary politics, made a powerful case for Britain staying in the EU having renegotiated a looser, more trade-based relationship with Brussels.He said that on principle, he was not in favour of referendums in a Parliamentary democracy - but suggested Mr Cameron had had no option but to promise one on EU membership after the next election.

Anyone who believes in justice and peace cannot see @placeholder's alleged actions as anything but senseless murder that diverts us from finding solutions. | (CNN) -- If I'm pulled over by a police officer my first reaction is likely annoyance; it isn't fear. That's partly because I'm a former city of Atlanta police officer and served as a reserve police officer in Oxford, Mississippi, during my time on the faculty at the University of Mississippi's School of Law. I'm also a former assistant chief counsel (prosecutor) with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Many of my closest friends are in law enforcement. But, it is also, in large part, because I'm a middle-aged white guy. The killing of New York Police Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos was a violent act of cowardice. Did it somehow make "sense" to Ismaaiyl Brinsley, the accused shooter? Did he believe he was avenging the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner? Maybe. Probably. But to assign this incident any significance in the larger picture is pointless. We don't need to validate the terrible deed. What we need is to start an open and much needed discussion about relationships between the police and citizens in this country.

Democrats and @placeholder came together on one amendment that passed overwhelmingly. | The Democrat-controlled Senate passed its first formal budget proposal in four years early Saturday after hours of non-stop voting that started Friday evening.

It now goes to the House, where it is expected to be shot down. Senators recently voted down a budget proposal passed by the Republican-controlled house.
