Posted: 18 Mar 2017 11:50 AM PDT

Tillerson to face Chinese ire over blame for North Korea tensionsBy Ben Blanchard BEIJING (Reuters) - China is likely to express its anger at being told to rein in nuclear-armed North Korea when U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrives in Beijing on Saturday, his first visit to the country since taking office last month. Beijing is expected to call on Washington to share responsibility in lessening tensions in the region, while strongly opposing this month's deployment of a sophisticated U.S. missile defense system in South Korea. Tillerson issued the Trump administration's starkest warning yet to North Korea on Friday, saying that a military response would be "on the table" if Pyongyang took action to threaten South Korean and U.S. forces.

8 Ways to Transform Unused Space in Your HomeYou may have set it up as a guest bedroom, but when you only have guests every three months, that extra room could be used for much more.

Cutest nosy neighbor ever is one pouncing pooch

Posted: 18 Mar 2017 10:43 AM PDT

Cutest nosy neighbor ever is one pouncing poochWhere is this dog located and is science advanced enough to clone it and distribute it worldwide? This planet needs more pups this jumpy. One very nosy pooch just had to know what was going on over its fence. And so it made that happen.  While at first it looks like this bouncy dog is on a trampoline, upon closer investigation it becomes apparent that he's probably just jumping. Like, on his own. A good six feet in the air. SEE ALSO: Extremely excited dog adorably fails his Crufts agility competition The video, posted on UK-based dog day care Safe Paws's Facebook page, is worthy of a lot of hard looks: A local woman was walking her dog when she spotted this pup having a rendezvous of his own.  The dog in question mostly looks like it's wondering why anyone is paying attention to it. "What, is this unusual? Do dogs not do this? Why are you filming me?" It can be assumed that a small crowd soon gathered, the dog signed to an agent, and it will be appearing on Britain's Got Talent in the upcoming season, possibly as the new host. WATCH: This smart collar will make pet care a walk in the park

Trump's national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, assured his counterpart by telephone that the White House had not meant to endorse the claim.

The Department of Justice said in a court filing it would appeal against a ruling by U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia. On Thursday, Chuang issued an emergency halt to the portion of Trump's March 6 executive order temporarily banning the entry of travelers from six Muslim-majority countries.
