tkdguy 3,082 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Since US news seems to be focused only on the missing Malaysian Airlines flight and the Crimea, here are some other stories not seen in US television. Ebola in Guinea, up to 59 people dead Anti-austerity protest in Madrid turns violent Venice seeks independence from Italy in unofficial poll Egyptian doctor on trial for female genital mutilation death Feel free to post other stories here.

Spence 1,276 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 so 99% of the news coverage has been Oso, WA disaster here. A mountain side gave way and buried a community in 15+ of mud, soil and rock. There were 46 structures of which ~30 were homes - 14 dead, 108 missing. http://seattletimes.com/html/home/index.html About 10 -15 miles from my house. So no. We haven't really been paying attention to 'other' news. Cancer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tkdguy 3,082 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I notice the North Koreans usually start acting up when everyone else is concentrating on another part of the world. Either they feel they can act with impunity, or they just have to be the center of attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
