You remember this. A group of armed protesters (some call them a militia) are angry at the government, in part because of federal land restrictions, so they took over a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon. For 25 days, law enforcement has tried peacefully to get them to leave. Now the situation has escalated. Last night, law enforcement killed one protester and arrested the ringleader and seven others. A half-dozen occupiers remained Wednesday, one of them casually cooking eggs.Why this has gone on so long. We don’t want another bloody standoff like Waco or Ruby Ridge. What now. Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward gave an emotional plea for the protesters to get out of town. "It is time for everybody in this illegal occupation to move on," Ward said during a news conference, stopping periodically to regain his composure. "This can't happen anymore, this can't happen in America, and it can't happen in Harney County."
It's as if the most unconventional storyline of the 2016 race — The Donald — gets more unreal by the minute. We are mere DAYS away from the Iowa caucuses, and the GOP front-runner is taking a pass on the final debate because of his feud with Fox anchor Megyn Kelly. Like, OMG. But actually, it's not like it's never happened before. Ronald Reagan skipped an Iowa debate during the 1980 campaign; many analysts believe that cost him that year's caucuses to George H.W. Bush. Humm. So what's the reaction? Trump supporters don't seem to care. Fox News is standing strongly by Kelly, issuing a news release mocking Trump's unwillingness to face her. The rest of the GOP field seized the opportunity to dump on Trump, and Fox News was all-too-willing to help. It's all playing out on Twitter, Trump’s favorite platform. (This retrospective is amazing.)
At least you're not alone in the Whole Foods aisle. A new study from Consumer Reports shows the percentage of people who regularly buy food labeled natural is growing, but the majority don't know what they're paying for. At least 60% believe a natural label means no genetically modified organisms, no artificial ingredients or colors, no chemicals and no pesticides. None of that is necessarily true. Why? Use of the word "natural" isn’t regulated. At least, not yet. The FDA is taking a closer look this year at how the term is used, whether it should be defined and how. Until then, check your cabinet for these seven not-so-natural foods.
We've all been there. A friend posts something deeply personal on Facebook — perhaps, a death in the family, or some other kind of loss. What do you do? How do you acknowledge it? Because "liking" what they posted doesn't feel quite ... right. The social media giant is trying to address this with Reactions, which Facebook chief product officer Chris Cox says will come to all users "in the next few weeks." The six emoji-like responses will let users express a range of emotions beyond just liking a post or status update. Reactions include "haha," "yay" and "wow." Like? Also in Facebook news: Its stock soared after the company announced it made way more money last quarter than Wall Street expected.
Mountain Dew mixed with racing fuel. No joke. The deaths of two Tennessee teenagers are blamed on the deadly concoction called "dewshine." Racing fuel is made up of almost 100% methanol, a non-drinkable form of alcohol. Two other teens have come forward saying they drank a similar substance thinking it would get them drunk. Initially, methanol can give the same effects as ethanol, which is used in those drinks you order at the bar, but over time, it can result in symptoms ranging from blurred vision, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea to seizures, blindness, coma and death.
