At least 2 million people in 41 Philippine provinces are affected by the disaster, with tens of thousands of houses wiped away, decomposing bodies under twisted rubble, and survivors struggling to find food and clean water. The United States, United Nations and Red Cross are among those donating supplies.

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 03:00 AM PST

America's Vets: More Jobs, More Help, More SuicidesThese are bittersweet times for the nation's 21.2 million military veterans as the nation observes another Veterans Day. Unemployment among veterans in general has steadily dropped as the Obama administration and private industry have aggressively pursued programs to employ the country's heroes and their families. After a public uproar over an insensitive bureaucracy and incompetent management at the Veterans Administration, the VA in recent months has substantially whittled down its backlog of applications for veterans disability claims from 611,000 to 400,835 — a 34 percent reduction — since peaking in March. Last Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services unveiled long-awaited final rules on parity in benefits and treatment to require private insurers to cover care for mental health and addiction in the same way they handled physical illness.

ESA: Satellite causes no damage after re-entry

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 11:53 PM PST

In his image, publicly provided by the European Space Agency ESA, research satellite GOCE flies above earth. The European Space Agency says its GOCE research satellite will crash to Earth on Sunday night Nov. 10, 2013, most likely over the ocean or polar regions. Spokeswoman Jocelyne Landeau said the satellite will mostly disintegrate as it comes down and "we will have only a few pieces which could be 90 kilograms at the most." The crash is expected to occur between 19:30 and 1:30 Central European Time from Sunday to Monday night. ESA said Friday that humans are 250,000 times more likely to win the lottery than to get hit by the debris that may survive the breakup. GOCE was launched in 2009 to map the Earth's gravitational field. It ran out of fuel last month, ending the mission. (AP Photo/European Space Agency,ESA) MANDATORY CREDITBERLIN (AP) — The European Space Agency says one of its research satellites that had run out of fuel caused no known damage after re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.

PG-13 movies more violent than R, study says

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 09:57 PM PST

Pigeons rest on a lamp post in front of a billboard of the movie 'Terminator Salvation', in Hollywood, California, on May 7, 2009Gun violence is on the rise in US movies and has more than tripled since 1985 in those rated as acceptable for teenagers 13 and older, according to a study out Monday. The amount of such violence seen in modern movies rated PG-13 even exceeded that in films rated R for adults in 2012, said the findings by American and Dutch university researchers in the US journal Pediatrics. "We do not draw a direct causal link to the recent rise in school and other public shootings but the rise in gun violence in films certainly coincides with those events," said co-author Daniel Romer, director of the Adolescent Communication Institute at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. "Gun violence was defined as shooting a gun and hitting a living target," said the study, noting that weaponry such as rocket-propelled grenades and artillery were not counted, nor were hunting scenes.
