had dreamed of scaling @placeholder since she saw the peak for the first | By Emily Allen PUBLISHED: 07:16 EST, 28 August 2012 | UPDATED: 09:38 EST, 28 August 2012 A medical student has become the youngest British woman to conquer Everest despite suffering a life-threatening stroke on her first attempt - at 20,000 feet. Becky Bellworthy was too high to be airlifted and had to be carried 4,000 feet down the mountain by a sherpa after being left paralysed by the stroke in May last year. But after recovering from the near fatal drama she made a second successful attempt despite doctors warnings it could happen again - and be much worse.

While both campaigns took on national issues, such as the partial government shutdown earlier this year and the health care law's flawed rollout, the race was nasty from the outset and devolved into incessant mudslinging and personal attacks. Voters throughout the commonwealth of Virginia were bombarded by negative ads. Libertarian Robert Sarvis, a third-party candidate, has pulled in 7% of the vote with more than 90% of the vote counted. That's a significant chunk when the Republican and Democratic candidates are so close.

The problem is that it wasn't true. Many erroneous news reports on this incident relied on an article that appeared in The New York Times. That article alleged that the Pope, at a general audience at the Vatican, comforted a boy whose dog had died by saying: "One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God's creatures." This was not what happened, and in a (frankly, embarrassing) correction now appended to that flawed article, the Times points out: "The article also misstated what Francis is known to have said.

At 49, the senior whale will be added to the endangered listing for the Southern Resident Killer Whales found in the waters off Seattle, where Lolita was captured in 1970. The Southern Resident population was depleted between 1965 and 1975 because of captures conducted for marine parks, according to NOAA Fisheries. The population's numbers remain low due to such environmental factors as pollution, oil spills and noise from passing vessels, NOAA says. As a result, the Southern Resident killer whales were added to the endangered species 10 years ago.

The first recording of the name @placeholder dates from the second century. | By Sarah Griffiths Visitors to London cannot fail to notice the capital’s many layers of history from its rugged Roman walls to elegant Georgian townhouses. And now a group of historians has mapped the evolution of the capital from its roots as a Roman city in 43AD to the modern metropolis we navigate today. The animation begins when London was focused in a square mile – which continued to as late as the 17th century - to the suburban sprawl of the 21st century, which magnified the size of the city to an area of 600 square miles (966km squared).

Displaced families and monitoring groups reported jihadists kidnapped hundreds of @placeholder women and girls, and many were sold or given away to militants as "spoils of war." | (CNN)In a new publication, ISIS justifies its kidnapping of women as sex slaves citing Islamic theology, an interpretation that is rejected by the Muslim world at large as a perversion of Islam. "One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffar -- the infidels -- and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, or Islamic law," the group says in an online magazine published Sunday. The title of the article sums up the ISIS point of view: "The revival (of) slavery before the Hour," referring to Judgment Day. The fourth edition of the group's English-language digital magazine called "Dabiq" said that female members of the Yazidi sect, an ethnically Kurdish minority living mostly in Iraq, may legitimately be captured and forcibly made concubines or sexual slaves.
