Senate sleuths focus on ex-State Department aide in Clinton email ‘cover-up’ Posted: 27 May 2016 12:47 PM PDT As Hillary Clinton seeks to rebound from a highly critical report from the State Department's inspector general, Senate investigators and a conservative group are zeroing in on newly revealed evidence about the activities of a now retired State Department computer specialist in orchestrating what they charge was a "cover-up" of the former secretary of state's email practices. The role of John Bentel, whose identity as a key figure in the email probes was first reported by Yahoo News on Wednesday, is expected to be one focus of questioning today when Clinton's former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, is deposed in a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch over the State Department's handling of Freedom of Information Act requests relating to Clinton's emails, according to a source close to the case.

G7 told to act on antibiotics as dreaded superbug hits U.S. Posted: 27 May 2016 09:19 AM PDT By Kylie MacLellan and Ben Hirschler ISE-SHIMA, Japan/LONDON (Reuters) - Britain told the G7 industrial powers on Friday to do more to fight killer superbugs as the United States reported the first case in the country of a patient with bacteria resistant to a last-resort antibiotic. U.S. scientists said the infection in a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman "heralds the emergence of truly pan-drug resistant bacteria" because it could not be controlled even by colistin, an antibiotic reserved for "nightmare" bugs. In Japan, British Prime Minister David Cameron said leading countries needed to tackle resistance by reducing the use of antibiotics and rewarding drug companies for developing new medicines.

Ohio to make first-offense pet cruelty a felony with ‘Goddard's Law’ Posted: 26 May 2016 05:46 PM PDT A puppy from an Ohio shelter is unloaded from the "Welcome Waggin'," a transportation service that takes animals from crowded shelters to uncrowded ones, at the Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington, on Aug. 25, 2009. Ohio lawmakers just passed a law that would make it a fifth-degree felony to knowingly harm a pet by inflicting pain or depriving it of food, water, or shelter – for a first offense. Sponsored by Reps. Dave Hall (R-Millersburg) and Bill Patmon (D-Cleveland), the bill was nicknamed Goddard's Law after Dick Goddard, a Cleveland weatherman who has advocated for strengthening the penalties against animal abusers for years.
