New York mayor backs plan to shut Rikers Island jail complex: NY TimesNew York Mayor Bill de Blasio has dropped his objections to closing the city's Rikers Island jail complex after being presented with a special panel's recommendation to phase out the violence-marred facility, the New York Times reported on Friday. A 27-member panel, which has been studying the matter for more than a year, is recommending a $10.6 billion plan to close the detention hub and replace it with smaller jails in each of the city's five boroughs, the newspaper said, citing a draft of the still-unreleased report. "The commission believes that the use of Rikers Island must be phased out over the next 10 years and its facilities demolished," the Times quoted the report as saying.

Fiery interstate bridge collapse in Atlanta needs lengthy repairsState Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry said on Friday that inspectors determined the southbound sections of Interstate 85 were so fire-damaged that they will need to be replaced.

Republican Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declared a state of emergency for Fulton County, which encompasses much of the Atlanta area.

U.S. priority on Syria no longer focused on 'getting Assad out': HaleyBy Michelle Nichols NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States' diplomatic policy on Syria for now is no longer focused on making the war-torn country's president, Bashar al-Assad, leave power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said on Thursday, in a departure from the Obama administration's initial and public stance on Assad's fate. The view of the Trump administration is also at odds with European powers, who insist Assad must step down. "You pick and choose your battles and when we're looking at this, it's about changing up priorities and our priority is no longer to sit there and focus on getting Assad out," U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told a small group of reporters.

This is probably going to make Galaxy S8 owners furious

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 08:11 AM PDT

This is probably going to make Galaxy S8 owners furious

What a week, Samsung fans. You finally got to kiss the persistent flow of leaks and rumors good-bye now that the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are official. Better yet, Samsung's new flagship phones actually managed to live up to the hype. In fact they didn't just live up to the hype, they somehow ended up being even more impressive than Android lovers were hoping.

There is no question whatsoever that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ are the two most stunning smartphones the world has ever seen. As we noting in our hands-on Galaxy S8 preview, Samsung finally managed to out-design Apple. These phones truly are masterpieces, and Samsung is expecting them to fly off store shelves when they're released next month on April 21st. We're expecting them to fly off store shelves as well. But unfortunately, many of the more savvy users out there who plan to buy a Galaxy S8 are about to learn something they may find troubling, or even infuriating in some cases.

When it comes to specs, Samsung's work inside the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ is almost impressive as the company's work on the phones' new design. These will be the first widely available phones to feature new 10nm processors, either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or the Samsung Exynos 8895, depending on region. The S8 and S8+ also pack the best displays the world has ever seen, the latest flash storage and RAM modules, and a number of nifty new features like DeX desktop mode support, an iris scanner and more.

But let's rewind a bit and focus on those flash storage and RAM modules.

With the Galaxy S8, Samsung has decided to move away from Apple's iPhone strategy and offer just one storage option in each market. That means you'll only have one price option, and it'll ship with 64GB of onboard storage as well as 4GB of RAM. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ have microSD card slots, so you can always pop in a card up to 256GB in size if you want to add more storage. What you might not know, however, is that there's an even better version of the Galaxy S8 out there, but you can't have one.

Rumors ahead of the Galaxy S8 unveiling suggested that China might get a better version of the phone than any other market, and it turns out that is indeed the case, as GizmoChina confirmed. While the rest of the world is stuck with 64GB handsets that pack 4GB of RAM, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ sold in China will include 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM.

Expandable storage means people probably won't care very much about the China models having twice the storage as other models. But specs-hounds are going to be furious about the fact that they can't enjoy 50% more RAM in their Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.

Senate repeals Labor Dept. municipal retirement plan rule

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 07:55 AM PDT

Senate repeals Labor Dept. municipal retirement plan ruleA divided U.S. Senate on Thursday killed a regulation that had exempted city-run retirement savings plans for low-income workers from strict pension protection laws. Utah Republican Orrin Hatch, the resolution's sponsor, has said he expects the Senate to soon repeal a related rule on state-operated retirement plans. States are farther along establishing retirement programs for people who do not have workplace savings plans, and Republicans who advocate for states' rights are more skeptical of the resolution.

South Africa's ANC divided, Zuma weakened by cabinet reshuffle

South Africa's ANC divided, Zuma weakened by cabinet reshuffleBy Mfuneko Toyana and Tanisha Heiberg JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - President Jacob Zuma's midnight sacking of his finance minister shook South African markets on Friday, undermining his authority and threatening to split the African National Congress (ANC) that has governed since the end of apartheid. Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is one of the leading candidates to replace Zuma as ANC president, described the decision to remove respected Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan as "totally, totally unacceptable". The comments by Ramaphosa, who usually publicly backs Zuma, were a sign of deepening division in the ANC that are likely to worsen until the party elects a new leader in December.

White House finds more ‘material’ on surveillance and offers to share it with Congress

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 06:45 AM PDT

White House finds more 'material' on surveillance and offers to share it with CongressThe White House is offering to share with key congressional leaders "material that has come to light" about the handling of communications intercepts involving American citizens, press secretary Sean Spicer said Thursday. Spicer said the new material was discovered by national security staffers "in the ordinary course of business." He said a letter had been sent, offering to make the information available to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and ranking member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and to the top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. The announcement during Spicer's regular daily press briefing is the latest twist in the controversy that was touched off weeks ago by President Trump's tweet alleging wiretapping of Trump Tower.
