| McDonald's Twitter account goes rogue, blasts ‘disgusting’ Trump Posted: 16 Mar 2017 07:07 AM PDT  A salty tweet, sent and quickly deleted Thursday, from one of McDonald's official Twitter accounts attacked President Trump and longed for the return of his predecessor. "@realDonaldTrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands," the tweet from the company's @McDonaldsCorp account declared. The sudden shift into political commentary was most likely the result of a hack or a rogue intern or staffer as evidenced by the tweet's swift removal.

| Florida governor replaces anti-death penalty prosecutor Posted: 16 Mar 2017 05:02 PM PDT ![Florida governor replaces anti-death penalty prosecutor]( "Florida governor replaces anti-death penalty prosecutor") Florida Governor Rick Scott on Thursday replaced a local prosecutor who declared she would not seek the death penalty in a case against a man accused of killing an Orlando police officer and refused to recuse herself. In an executive order, Scott removed State Attorney Aramis Ayala, the elected prosecutor in central Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit, and reassigned the murder case to State Attorney Brad King of the nearby Fifth Judicial Circuit. Ayala, at a news conference earlier on Thursday, said Florida's death penalty system was the cause of "legal chaos" and said she would not seek the death penalty against Markeith Loyd, charged in the Jan. 9 shooting of the policewoman.

Warm seas around the reef killed some two-thirds of a 700 kilometer (496.4 miles) stretch of coral last year after warm water caused the coral to expel living algae, triggering it to calcify and turn white, a process known as bleaching. "Given time, coral can recover from bleaching but the problem comes when you get repeated events.

| Trump budget would slash cleanup of hazardous waste sites by 30 percent Posted: 17 Mar 2017 08:53 AM PDT ![Trump budget would slash cleanup of hazardous waste sites by 30 percent]( "Trump budget would slash cleanup of hazardous waste sites by 30 percent") The White House budget proposal submitted to Congress on Thursday includes a 31 percent cut in spending for the U.S. Environmental Protecting Agency, including a similar reduction of the agency's Hazardous Substance Superfund Account by $330 million to $762 million. The Superfund program, started in 1980, has been criticized over the years for its slow efforts to clean up hazardous waste sites, which now number more than 1,300 around the country. Proponents argue that the EPA fights with one arm tied behind its back because its budget has been halved from $2 billion in recent years, while critics say what they characterize as a bloated bureaucracy should step out of the way and allow the states and private sector do the job faster, cheaper and more effectively.

| The iPhone 8 is causing problems months before it’s even announced Posted: 16 Mar 2017 12:29 PM PDT 
For every year in recent memory, the iPhone has been the phone to beat. Some years Samsung pulls it off, other years their ambitions, uh, go up in flames. Things are looking even more critical than usual this year: the iPhone 8 is slated to be a bigger change and a bigger deal than usual for Apple, while Samsung is looking to rebound from a disastrous 2016.
One sign that Apple is taking the iPhone 8 seriously are the supply-chain rumors surrounding OLED displays. Organic light-emitting diode screens are known for having better contrast, deeper blacks and superior energy efficiency compared to traditional LCDs, which is why Samsung and other manufacturers have used them for years. Apple has not, preferring to stick with the tech it knows and loves. But for 2017, things are changing, and Apple is throwing a wrench in everyone else's works. There's a limited number of OLED displays produced by manufacturers every year, and a new report suggests Apple has captured 14% of the supply. That's enough to cause shortages for other manufacturers like Huawei, which is reportedly unable to secure a supply of OLED displays for its phones this year. Samsung is believed to be Apple's supplier. Samsung itself produces OLED panels in-house, so the supply of OLED for Samsung's devices is secure. According to Digitimes,"about 70% of global output of OLED panels in 2017-2018, mainly from Samsung Display, will be consumed by Samsung Electronics and Apple, therefore limiting the supply of OLED panels to other smartphone vendors, said the sources." That's a problem for every company not named Samsung or Apple. The report says that Oppo and Vivo have supply of OLED panels locked down already thanks to pre-existing orders, but other manufacturers are going to be out of luck. That's actually rather bad news for consumers, as a lack of OLED panels means competing phones will be worse. That means we're faced with another year of choosing between Samsung, Apple, and no one else. The screen is a particularly important component this year in particular, because smartphone design is moving to take away bezels and make devices entirely out of screen. We've already seen this no-bezel approach with the LG G6 this year, and the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 are both expected to have an edge-to-edge display with no bezel, and no home buttons either.

| Trump tried to share a proverb for St. Patrick's Day and it didn't go very well Posted: 16 Mar 2017 03:26 PM PDT  After an Ireland-centric day including meetings with its prime minister, Enda Kenny, Donald Trump attempted to bestow some wisdom by sharing his favorite proverb of "many years." Only, as Twitter users quickly pointed out, it wasn't a proverb. And it wasn't Irish. SEE ALSO: The timeline of the Trump campaign's many statements on who wrote Melania's speech "As we stand together with our Irish friends, I'm reminded of that proverb—and this is a good one, this is one I like. I've heard it for many many years and I love it," Trump said at the Friends of Ireland luncheon in Washington, D.C. on the eve of St. Patrick's Day. "Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you," he said. "A lot of us know that, we know it well," he added. "It's a great phrase." Users on Twitter, including some who said they were from Ireland and had never heard the adage, were quick to search the quote online and found it attributed to a Nigerian man, Albashir Adam Alhassan. The poem "Remember to Forget" is posted under his name on poemhunter.com. It's also, however, listed as an "Old Irish Blessing" by user "GingerSnips" at scrapbook.com. Joanne Tuttle too has claimed it as part of her online book Crystal Inspirations. Roy B. Zuck added it to his 1977 book, The Speaker's Quote Book: Over 5,000 Illustrations and Quotations for All Occasions, also available online. Trump didn't explicitly say the words he was about to share with his "Irish friends" were Irish, to be fair, though it's pretty clear the rhyme is less of a proverb and more one of those unattributable quotes you find on a 1970s wall hanging in a thrift store in Omaha. The author of Trump's Irish proverb is possibly this business manager from Nigeria? https://t.co/bxSgs8yCj4 — Paul M❤️l❤️ney (@oceanclub) March 16, 2017 With all due respect to the president's reputation for scrupulously checking his sources, I don't think this is an Irish proverb. https://t.co/1EvGGMsE9r — The Irish For (@theirishfor) March 16, 2017 Have literally never heard this in my entire life. https://t.co/3gSBhbvdl2 — Christine Bohan (@ChristineBohan) March 16, 2017 As an Irish person I can safely say I have never, ever heard this proverb #trump #paddywhackery https://t.co/bvEzDjSNse — Andrew McDermott (@AndrewMcD999) March 16, 2017 OK I've found trump's 'irish' proverb. pic.twitter.com/ZsWPUvqDDL — cólz (@colz) March 16, 2017 Someone on Trump's team just Googled 'irish proverb' and hoped for the best. pic.twitter.com/xmNHFdq7ER — ⭐ amy o'connor ⭐ (@amyohconnor) March 16, 2017 This is utter bollocks Trump'Irish proverb' my arse https://t.co/kK4BEUbxHD — Planet Belfast (@Planet_Belfast) March 16, 2017 Trump's Irish Proverb may have been written by Albashir Adam Alhassan but to be fair it IS in the second Google hit for "Best Irish Proverb" pic.twitter.com/53sXOi1EHr — Cabel Sasser (@cabel) March 16, 2017 "Irish Proverb" me hole. https://t.co/dWLregquCs — mark little (@marklittlenews) March 16, 2017 Awkward.

| Trade war drives fresh wedge between Ukraine and rebels Posted: 17 Mar 2017 08:42 AM PDT  It was always an uncomfortable paradox for Ukraine's warring sides: while Kiev and Russian-backed rebels battled each other for nearly three years, trade kept flowing across the frontline. Now even those tenuous links have finally ruptured after Ukraine's leader Petro Poroshenko ordered a halt to all goods deliveries to the eastern separatist regions, ramping up tensions in the festering conflict. The move was a last resort for Kiev, as coal from their former industrial heartland remains a key energy source and authorities are reluctant to sever the few threads binding the insurgent fiefdoms to Ukraine.
