The teammates climbed higher, using their hands to feel the walls for a crawl space that would lead to safer, higher ground. Those handprints were among the first signs of where the boys were, what they had done to escape the floods, and what dangers rescuers would face in their mission to save the boys and their coach.

| Flooding fears as huge iceberg drifts close to Greenland village Posted: 13 Jul 2018 05:41 AM PDT  A massive iceberg drifting near the coast of Greenland has triggered fears of flooding if it breaks up, leading the authorities to evacuate a high-risk zone. The authorities have urged residents of the Innarsuit island settlement with houses on a promontory to move away from the shore over fears that the iceberg, which was spotted on Thursday, could swamp the area. "We fear the iceberg could calve and send a flood towards the village," Lina Davidsen, a security chief at the Greenland police, told Danish news agency Ritzau on Friday. The settlement in northwestern Greenland has 169 inhabitants, but only those living closest to the iceberg have been evacuated, Ritzau reported. "The iceberg is still near the village and the police are now discussing what do to next," Kunuk Frediksen, a police chief in the Danish autonomous territory, told AFP. The incident comes weeks after scientists at New York University shot and released a video of a massive iceberg breaking free from a glacier in eastern Greenland in June. Last year, four people died and 11 were injured after an earthquake sparked a tsunami off another island settlement called Nuugaatsiaq, sending several houses crashing into the sea.

| Brett Kavanaugh's law school roommate says he used to eat pasta with ketchup Posted: 13 Jul 2018 01:51 PM PDT  Brett Kavanaugh is bland. Trump's pick to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has been condemned as an "enemy of the left," who will herald a Handmaid's Tale-type era of conservatism. A Yale publication found that he also had abhorrent eating habits in law school. SEE ALSO: Trump's SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh looks exactly like Glenn from 'Superstore' Aside from being named Brett, one of the blandest possible names you could choose for an innocent baby, Kavanaugh apparently had the palate of a human-shaped blob of unseasoned mashed potatoes while in college. The Yale Daily News , Kavanaugh's alma mater publication, looked into the judge's law school habits and found out that he is about as interesting as a sheet of blank paper. According to Kavanaugh's then-roommate Kenneth Christmas, the judge is a "bland eater" who stuck to pasta with tomato sauce. Eating plain pasta with tomato sauce is totally normal, but the story also includes the egregious fact that Kavanaugh would eat his pasta with ketchup. KETCHUP! Another roommate, Steve Hartmann, told the Yale Daily News that Kavanaugh stuck to ragu when he ate spaghetti. "He didn't want anything spicier than that," Hartmann said. With what Christmas called "limited dance moves," when the group of friends went out for pizza, Kavanaugh would stick to plain cheese. Occasionally he'd branch out and go for a spicy topping that only the bravest of gourmands could tolerate: pepperoni. The internet agreed that although Kavanaugh could have more scandalous skeletons in his closet, putting ketchup on pasta is an act only the worst of monsters could commit. A lot of legit things not to like about Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court nominee, but come on, anyone putting ketchup on pasta belongs in a psych ward pic.twitter.com/HDOVPqgZGW — Ojars (@Ojars_Berzins) July 12, 2018 Omg Kavanaugh has ketchup on pasta he's one of those heathens https://t.co/nVOzrcnl7C — Shoshana Weissmann, Sloth Committee Chair (@senatorshoshana) July 12, 2018 I thought "ketchup on salad" was the worst thing connected to ketchup but it turns out the worst thing is actually Brett Kavanaugh. — Amanda Smith (@AmandaRTubbs) July 13, 2018 Obviously, people change. Kavanaugh's palate could have grown over the last 30 years — who knows, he may even eats bacon now! At least he shares a love of ketchup with the president, whose steak preferences would make any chef cry. Trump allegedly enjoys his steak well done with a side of ketchup — a decision that 56 percent of voters disapprove of, according to Public Policy Polling.

A report drafted by Democrats on two Senate committees provides new insight into the controversial attempts by Michael Cohen, the president's long-time attorney and personal "fixer", to serve as a consultant on the new administration for outside companies. The effort – which earned Mr Cohen more than $4m in the months after Mr Trump's election – raised questions over whether he had improperly peddled his White House access, and failed to adequately register as a lobbyist.

| Cave rescue highlights plight of Thailand's stateless people Posted: 14 Jul 2018 04:01 AM PDT  By Panu Wongcha-um and James Pearson MAE SAI, Thailand (Reuters) - On the Thai side of the mountainous border with Myanmar, where 12 boys and their football coach were rescued from a flooded cave last week, thousands of stateless people live trapped between countries with no access to some basic rights. All of the boys and their 25-year-old coach, who make up the 'Wild Boars' soccer team, will be discharged from hospital next week following a three-day rescue that evoked international relief and joy. Although the Wild Boars are now viewed in this Southeast Asian country as national treasures, four of them are technically stateless.

| Danish man charged with starting destructive Colorado wildfire Posted: 12 Jul 2018 08:54 PM PDT  By Keith Coffman DENVER (Reuters) - A Danish national accused of starting the second-largest wildfire on record in Colorado was charged on Thursday with 141 counts of first-degree arson for each building destroyed in the massive blaze, court documents showed. Jesper Joergensen, 52, was advised of the felony charges in Costilla County Court via a telephone hook-up from the county jail where he is being held on a $50,000 bond for igniting the Spring Creek Fire in southern Colorado on June 27. The blaze has scorched nearly 108,000 acres in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, although wetter weather and mild temperatures this week have allowed crews to carve containment lines around 83 percent of the fire by Thursday afternoon, according to the InciWeb federal tracking website.
