Bestselling author Tom Clancy dies at 66

TomClancy, the bestselling U.S. author of popular spy and military-themed thrillers such as "The Hunt for Red October" and "Patriot Games," has died at the age of 66.

Clancy's publisher, G.P. Putnam's Sons, confirmed to The New York Times that Clancy died in a Baltimore hospital on Tuesday. The cause of death was not provided.

Clancy first came to international attention in 1984, after selling his thriller "The Hunt for Red October," to the first publisher he solicited: the Naval Institute Press. Clancy's book was the first novel the publisher had ever released.

The book enjoyed widespread success, with then U.S. President Ronald Reagan even saying he was losing sleep because he couldn't stop reading it -- a statement Clancy later said helped put him on the New York Times bestseller list. see more...

Well Miley — if you are by chance pregnant — what a way to announce it. The twitterverse has gone wild over the report.

Backstory of the Ricin Letter

Last spring, after a ricin-tainted letter was sent to President Obama, the FBI arrested Paul Kevin Curtis, an Elvis impersonator and Prince super-fan from Mississippi, on suspicion of mailing the poison correspondence. 

But then a week later, charges against Curtis were dropped and soon another Mississippi musician was taken into custody, Tae Kwon Do instructor J.Everett Dutschke, who turned out to be Curtis's bitter rival. In the October issue of GQ, writer Wells Tower digs into the feud and the whole thing gets weirder—so so so much weirder.

The 8000-plus-word tale hinges upon the rivalry between Kevin Curtis (Exonerated Ricin Guy) and Everett Dutschke (Suspected Ricin Guy), two snappily dressed Southern conspiracy theorists who became acquainted because of a severed head. 

Yes, this is the sort of true-crime farce in which the antagonists were brought together by a severed head, one Exonerated Ricin Guy stumbled across working at a Tupelo hospital in 1999 that altered the course of his life: see more...

Amanda Knox update

The second appeal trial of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito gets underway today in Florence, Italy. The American student and her former Italian boyfriend find they are once again defending themselves against the charge that they murdered Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy in November 2007.

Both Knox and Sollecito were acquitted of the same murder charges in October 2010 by an Italian appellate court in Perugia. But then this March, the Italian Supreme Court overturned the acquittals and directed that a new appeal trial to be held in Florence, because Perugia did not have sufficient appellate court space.

Italian law does not require either defendant attend the new trial. AmandaKnox, now 25 years-old and a student at the University of Washington, will not travel to Italy for any of the proceedings. Raffaele Sollecito also won't be in Florence when the trial starts, but has told the press that he will be in the courtroom as the trial nears a verdict.

According to the Italian Supreme Court's decision, there is one piece of evidence in the case that is yet to be tested - and could be the key to the final verdict. It is labeled number 36-I.

Oracle pulls off stunning comeback in America's Cup

Now that Oracle Team USA has improbably retained the 34th America's Cup, what can Larry Ellison & Co. do for an encore?

Oracle'sbillionaire bankroller has many questions to answer in the weeks ahead after his team, under the never-say-die skipper Jimmy Spithill, staged the greatest comeback in 162 years of the competition.

Trailing 8-1 a week ago, Oracle sailed away from Emirates Team New Zealand by 44 seconds on Wednesday to retain the Auld Mug, the oldest trophy in international sports, in a winner-take-all finale on San FranciscoBay.

The American-backed team won eight consecutive races to win 9-8 in the first-to-nine series.

But in the oddity that is America's Cup, Oracle, the defender, gets to more or less call the shots for the next edition in three years.

What venue? What class of boat?

Will organizers stay with a multihull configuration or return to monohulls of the past? If they go with multihulls, will they stick with soaring 7-ton yachts fastened with 131-foot carbon fiber sails or something less imposing?
