The president addressed a crowd gathered in Washington DC for the 50th anniversary commemoration of the civil rights rally at which Martin Luther King Jr made his speech.

"Because they marched, America became more free and fair," he added. Seemore..

Neil Armstrong is dead

Usually, those false Internet rumors about a famous someone's demise end with word trickling through social media that it's a hoax, or maybe even a statement directly from the celebrity that he or she is just fine, thank you very much.

But in the case of Tuesday's rumors that astronaut Neil Armstrong had died — well, Armstrong is still dead. The part that the Internet got wrong is when. Armstrong, the first man on the moon, passed away Aug. 25, 2012.

ABC News mistakenly sent out a tweet, now deleted, that said, "NeilArmstrong, First Man on the Moon, Is Dead," according to HollywoodLife.com.

ABC was intending to tweet a piece about his passing to honor the anniversary of his death, but it was attached to a more current video, which changed the timestamp on the story to Aug. 27 and made everything appear current. The culprit was a misbehaving app, according to HollywoodLife.com. Social media eventually corrected the rumor, but not before it went viral. See more...

Srike on Syria would cause one on Israel

Iranian lawmakers and commanders issued stark warnings to the United States and its allies on Tuesday, saying any military strike on Syria would lead to a retaliatory attack on Israel fanned by “the flames ofoutrage.”

The warnings came against a backdrop of rising momentum among Western governments for a military intervention in the Syria conflict over what the United States, Britain, France and others have called undeniable evidence that President Bashar al-Assad’s forces used banned chemical weapons on civilians last week, killing hundreds.

Mr.Assad has accused the insurgents who are trying to topple him of using such munitions. See more...

Pretty Little Liar summer finale react

I’m shaking, and I’m pretty sure my neighbors just called the cops, because my reaction to the final 30 seconds of the Pretty Little Liarssummer finale involved a scream Marlon Brando would admire. You guys, it’s EZRA!EZRA is “A” or Red Coat or whatever, but basically, he’s all things wrong with the world (but he’s still so cute)! Let me backtrack:

The episode kicks off with Travis (aka the random guy who conveniently witnessed Hanna’s mom NOT kill Detective Wilden) having to identify Ashley in a line-up. He seems hesitant but is apparently successful, because all of the charges are dropped, and Ashley is free to go! Woohoo! Side note: Did that head nod between Caleb and Travis seem suspect? Did Caleb tip Travis off somehow?

Elsewhere, “A” is stepping up his/her game. Forget text messages. “A” prefers sending packages containing things like four magic eight balls that combine to make a full threat. The good news? World War “A” doesn’t scare the Liars anymore. Well, at least it doesn’t scare Emily … yet. (How’s that for a tease? I should write for this show.) See more...

Syrian hackers claim resposibility for disrupting Twitter and New York Times website

The New York Times and Twitter on Tuesday became the latest Americanmedia organizations to succumb to hacking attacks, in another series of disruptions apparently caused by the shadowy group known as the Syrian Electronic Army.

The SEA, which is aligned with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, asserted responsibility for disrupting access to the sites starting in the late afternoon. But neither the Times nor Twitter cited a specific source.

Little is known about the members of the SEA, but the group appears to be based in Syria, a country split by civil war and facing the threat of a military strike by the United States and its allies over the Assad government’s alleged use of chemical weapons. See more...

Aaron Henandez indicted for murder!

Former NewEngland Patriots tight end AaronHernandez was indicted Thursday on first-degree murder and weapons charges in the death of a friend whose bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial park about a mile from the ex-player's home.

The six-count grand jury indictment charges Hernandez with killing 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend.

Hernandez, 23, pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in June, and he is being held without bail.

He had a brief court appearance in Attleboro on Thursday afternoon.Afterward, his attorney Michael Fee said the defense was pleased to be on a path to a jury trial and was looking forward to testing the prosecution's evidence.

"There has been an incredible rush to judgment in this case," and the state doesn't have enough evidence to prove the charges, he said.

Hernandez last summer signed a contract worth $40 million but was cut by the Patriots within hours of his June 26 arrest, when police led the handcuffed athlete from his home as news cameras rolled. He could face life in prison if convicted. See more..

Antoinette Tuff hailed as Hero in Georgia school shooting

As the kids trooped back into the suburban Atlanta elementary school that was stormed by a gunman earlier this week, everyone was talking about Antoinette Tuff.

The bookkeeper, an eight-year veteran of the DeKalb County school district, talked suspect Michael Brandon Hill into surrendering after a brief standoff with police Tuesday afternoon. Faced with an armed 20-year-old who told her he was off his medication for a mental disorder, Tuff shared stories of heartbreak from her own life to helpcalm him down -- a recent divorce, a son with multiple disabilities.

Tuff was off Thursday as the students returned to Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, recovering from a pre-scheduled surgery. But Principal Brian Bolden said he credited Tuff's quick thinking for avoiding what could have been a major tragedy.

"Her name, Antoinette Tuff, says everything about her," Bolden said. "Tough. She has always been that way from the first time I met her." See more...
