| Pope Francis makes Fatima child shepherds saints Posted: 13 May 2017 12:50 PM PDT  Fátima (Portugal) (AFP) - Two young shepherds who had visions of the Virgin Mary 100 years ago in Fatima, a Portuguese site now a global draw for pilgrims, were declared saints Saturday by Pope Francis. Catholic faithful from all over the world cheered, filling a giant, 400,000-capacity, esplanade that faces the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, some of them crying -- with many more watching the canonisation from adjacent streets on giant screens. "We declare the blissful Francisco Marto and Jacinta Marto saints," the Argentine pontiff said in front of the white basilica where the siblings are buried, two giant portraits of the little shepherds hanging in the background.

| Researcher finds 'kill switch' for cyberattack ransomware Posted: 13 May 2017 12:12 PM PDT  A cybersecurity researcher appears to have discovered a "kill switch" that can prevent the spread of the WannaCry ransomware -- for now -- that has caused the cyberattacks wreaking havoc globally, they told AFP Saturday. Friday's wave of cyberattacks, which affected dozens of countries, apparently exploited a flaw exposed in documents leaked from the US National Security Agency. The attacks used a technique known as ransomware that locks users' files unless they pay the attackers a designated sum in the virtual currency Bitcoin.

| Final curtain: Haunting images of abandoned theaters across the U.S. Posted: 13 May 2017 11:55 AM PDT ![Final curtain: Haunting images of abandoned theaters across the U.S.]( "Final curtain: Haunting images of abandoned theaters across the U.S.") A photographer with a passion for decaying buildings has captured a hauntingly beautiful series of images from theaters crumbling across the U.S. after the final curtain has fallen. Matt Lambros, a photographer from Brooklyn, N.Y., began creating his series of images of abandoned theaters across America in 2009. The eerie but stunning photos show the dilapidated buildings, decaying paint and crumbling architecture — and it's hard to believe these venues were once places of glamour and grandeur.

| Hackers exploit stolen U.S. spy agency tool to launch global cyberattack Posted: 13 May 2017 11:38 AM PDT  By Costas Pitas and Carlos Ruano LONDON/MADRID (Reuters) - A global cyberattack leveraging hacking tools widely believed by researchers to have been developed by the U.S. National Security Agency hit international shipper FedEx, disrupted Britain's health system and infected computers in nearly 100 countries on Friday. Cyber extortionists tricked victims into opening malicious malware attachments to spam emails that appeared to contain invoices, job offers, security warnings and other legitimate files. The ransomware encrypted data on the computers, demanding payments of $300 to $600 to restore access.

| Trump's lawyers say tax returns show little income from Russian sources Posted: 13 May 2017 08:09 AM PDT  A review of President Donald Trump's tax returns from the past 10 years showed no income from Russian sources outside of a few exceptions, and indicated he did not owe money to Russian lenders, his lawyers said in a letter released by the White House on Friday. The letter, dated March 8, said the tax returns did not reflect any Trump income from Russian sources, aside from money earned during the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and the 2008 sale of a Florida estate to a Russian billionaire. Trump's businesses also may have earned "immaterial" amounts of money from Russians over the years through ordinary sales transactions, including condominium rentals or sales, hotel rooms, rounds of golf, or sales of Trump-licensed products, Sheri Dillon and William Nelson, attorneys at Morgan Lewis and Bockius, said in the letter.

| Here's the Comey tape transcript Trump so wants you to see Posted: 13 May 2017 07:13 AM PDT  On a warm and sunny Friday morning, President Trump started his day just like any other president: by going on Twitter and revealing that he just might have secretly taped the former director of the FBI. If only the American public could hear these possible tapes, Trump seemed to suggest, they would finally see Comey for who he really was — a useless showboat — and reveal Trump to be the greatest president in the history of the United States. All we needed was the transcript. SEE ALSO: Wow, some stranger just gave us Trump's tax return and it's really weird Thankfully, the same heroic stranger who slipped us Trump's tax returns also mailed us a transcript of Trump's Comey recordings. Late this morning, I went to my mailbox only to find the transcript hidden in a manilla envelope labeled "TOP SECRET." Any good journalist will tell you that "TOP SECRET" makes it very real and obviously not leaked by Trump, which means you must share it on cable television. James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2017 Below are never seen before snippets from the transcript of Trump's recorded conversation with James Comey. COMEY: Mr. President, thank you so much for agreeing to have dinner with me. It's an honor. TRUMP: Jim, thank you for the compliment but as you know I'm very mad at you. You lied to the American people at the House hearing the other day. COMEY: I know, Mr. President. You are not under investigation by the FBI, which I told you on two other entirely separate occasions. TRUMP: So you made the whole Trump-Russia scandal up? COMEY: Yes, that is accurate. It was me, James Comey. TRUMP: Why do you lie, Jim? Lying, as you know, is very bad. COMEY: I'm very intimidated by your presence. The size of the crowds at your inauguration and rallies, it's just enormous. TRUMP: So I've been told. COMEY: My men at the FBI, they love you more than me. Everyone loves you. And I can't handle it, Mr. President. I wanted to take you down so I can be popular again. This is why I, and the fake news media, made up this whole scandal. TRUMP: Jim — COMEY: Mr. President, you must understand how powerful you are. You have the best television ratings of any president in history, Mr. President! TRUMP: Please. COMEY: It's only because I like you so much that I make up all these stories. TRUMP: That doesn't give you a license to deceive the American people, who voted for me — COMEY: By the greatest margin in American history. TRUMP: I don't care about that. COMEY: You have been treated very, very unfairly, Mr. Trump. Please forgive me. I just want to stay at the FBI. TRUMP: As you know, Jim, I have to do the right thing. [COMEY WEEPS FOR THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. HE ONLY INTERRUPTS HIS EPIC, LOSER SOBS TO BEG FOR HIS JOB] COMEY ( Moaning): Please, please Mr. President. TRUMP: If you come forward and tell the truth, I will consider holding you on. COMEY: I will them everything. I will tell them that the whole Trump-Russia scandal is a fake scandal concocted by me and CNN. Oh, and Rosie O'Donnell. And that you were wiretapped by Barack Obama because he was afraid you would win and become the best President in American history!!!! Which you are! All because I was so threatened by you. TRUMP: Well, you make a good pitch, Jim — COMEY: It's the showboat in me. TRUMP: I really hope you do the right thing. COMEY: I promise you, Mr. President, I won't let you down. [TAPE FINISHES. COMEY EXITS, SOBBING. STEVE BANNON ENTERS, DOES NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE. IN THE BACKGROUND, YOU CAN HEAR TRUMP SOLVING YET ANOTHER WORLD CRISIS AND HIS AIDES, SIGHING. THEY CAN'T HELP IT. THEY'RE TIRED FROM ALL THE WINNING.] That's where the transcript ends. Sounds pretty compelling. WATCH: This smart pillow can track your sleep and gently wake you up

Rebellious troops surrounded the military's headquarters in Abidjan after a spokesman for the protesters publicly apologised to the president for a January mutiny which triggered months of unrest. Troops took up position in front of the sprawling Gallieni military camp in the Plateau neighbourhood of Abidjan, the country's economic capital, as other soldiers and police set up a security cordon, an AFP journalist said.

| New report backs up rumors that the Galaxy Note 8 will feature a dual camera Posted: 13 May 2017 06:05 AM PDT 
Before the end of 2017, Samsung will launch its long-awaited followup to the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7. Despite the fact that the Note 7 (quite literally) went down in flames, the Galaxy Note 8 is receiving as much hype as any Android phone this year. If it can match or exceed the success of the Galaxy S8, the Note 8 could more than make up for the exploding battery debacle that ended up killing the Note 7. Unfortunately, we're still several months out from the release of the Note 8, but leaks are helping to paint a more complete picture of what Samsung's phablet will have to offer.
Nearly a month ago, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that not only would the Galaxy Note 8 feature a dual camera, but that it would "be much better than that of iPhone 7 Plus, and likely match that of OLED iPhone." In fact, he expects the camera to be the most significant upgrade on the Note 8. On Friday, Korean publication MK News backed up this assertion with a report of its own. An industry source says that Samsung is "reviewing the benefits of dual cameras internally and will release products within the year." This comes as no surprise, especially in light of last week's leak which featured an image of the upcoming Galaxy C with a dual-lens camera. Samsung is almost certainly going to move to dual cameras, it's just a matter of when we will begin to see them on the company's phones. Admittedly, this isn't the most compelling Note 8 leak we've seen to date, but it's another shred of evidence that the next flagship Samsung phone will feature a dual camera.
