Lara Logan on leave for '60 minutes' report

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan, under fire for using a discredited source for a 60 Minutes story on the Benghazi attack, has agreed to take a leave of absence, according to an internal memo obtained by USA TODAY.

The segment's producer, Max McClellan, also was placed on leave.

"There is a lot to learn from this mistake for the entire organization," Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News and executive producer of 60 Minutes, said in an email to CBS employees Tuesday. "As executive producer, I am responsible for what gets on the air. I pride myself in catching almost everything, but this deception got through, and it shouldn't have."

Fager didn't address how long Logan or McClellan would be away from their jobs or whether they would be paid.

"The 60 Minutes journalistic review is concluded, and we are implementing ongoing changes based on its results," said CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair.

Seahawks' Brandon Browner facing year suspension

Below is an earlier version of this post, which is being continuously updated. We have also updated the headline above to remove a reference to performance-enhancing drugs, as that piece of the story appears to be inaccurate.

For Seahawks fans, the biggest takeaway of this confusing story is that Browner’s days in Seattle are likely over. And, possibly, his days in the NFL.

A day after news broke that Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond may be suspended four games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, starting corner Brandon Browner is facing his own eight-game suspension for allegedly using performance-enhancing drugs, according to NFL.

Katy Perry pays tribute to Olivia Wise

In the final months of her life, Toronto teenager Olivia Wise created a legacy that reached around the world and all the way to an A-list pop star.

Wise died Monday afternoon, two years after she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and six weeks after a video of her singing Katy Perry’s “Roar” was posted on YouTube.

“She died peacefully in her home surrounded by the extraordinary love of her family,” her cousin, Jeff Kassel, wrote in an email.

In those six weeks, the 16-year-old’s video prompted a response from Perry, more than a million views, a response video featuring messages from hundreds of Toronto students, and more than $85,000 in donations to help other young people with cancer.

Toronto Maple Leafs pi in Poor defensive effort

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the worst defensive minded teams in the NHL and yesterday they proved it. A 6-0 loss to the bottom feeding Columbus Blue Jacketsis bad, but what makes it worse is how each goal was scored.

Outside of the second and maybe the third, every goal was completely the fault of one defenceman…or both.

The game was a microcosm of a bigger issue with the Leafs, a young and mistake prone defence combined with a lack of any control when it comes to taking penalties.

The Jackets first goal was caused by a blown coverage by Jake Gardiner. Cody Franson was the other defenceman on the ice, but it was Gardiner going around the wrong side of the net and leaving his man all alone that cause the goal.

Columbus’ third goal was a two on one after Mark Fraser made a bad pinch on the blue-line. Morgan Rielly played it pretty well and Reimer truthfully should have had it, but without the bad pinch this play doesn’t happen.

The fourth goal, and by this point the game is pretty much over, was a powerplay shot from the point. What makes that bad? All four Leafs were below the hashmarks. That’s not as indicative of poor play from Phaneuf and Gunnarson but the forwards on the ice, who in this case were McClement and Smithson – the Leafs supposed ‘defensive specialists’. Also for the record, it was Gardiner in the box at the time.

Justin Trudeau won last Monday's four federal by-elections

Justin Trudeau emerged the big winner from Monday’s four federal by-elections.

At first glance, the results simply preserved the status quo: the Conservatives held on to two longtime Tory bastions in Manitoba, while the Liberals retained two traditional Grit strongholds in Toronto and Montreal.

Beneath the surface, however, the byelections have roiled Canada’s political waters, suggesting the Senate expenses scandal has badly hurt the Tory government and that Trudeau’s Liberals are the ones who stand to benefit.

The Liberals increased their share of the vote in all four ridings — dramatically so in two Manitoba ridings where they were all but invisible in the 2011 election, coming within a whisker of an upset victory in Brandon-Souris.

In Toronto Centre and Montreal’s Bourassa riding, the Liberals emerged victorious in a battle with the NDP over which opposition party is the real government-in-waiting. Despite an aggressive challenge by the NDP, the Liberal vote share increased slightly in both ridings.
