The Boeing 777 plane disappeared from radar shortly after taking off on March 8, 2014, carrying 239 people, mostly Chinese nationals, on a flight from Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur, to Beijing. Satellite data showed the plane turned from its flight path and headed south to the far-southern Indian Ocean, where it is believed to have crashed.

Vermont Fish and Wildlife furbearer Brehan Furfey says bobcats are on a mission during these next four months of winter. "They need to eat two deer, or 60 snowshoe hare, or 3,600 small mammals, or 100-plus squirrels. And so, that is how much they need to survive the…...

14+ hour, 5+ min ago (412+ words) A federal judge late Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from making widespread immigration arrests in the nation's capital without warrants or probable cause that the person is an imminent flight risk. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington granted a preliminary injunction sought by civil liberties and immigrants rights groups in a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. An email to the department after hours Tuesday was not immediately returned. Officers making civil immigration arrests generally have to have an administrative warrant. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, they may make arrests without a warrant only if they have probable cause to believe the person is in the U.S. illegally and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, according to Howell's ruling. The American Civil Liberties Union and other plaintiffs' attorneys argued federal officers were frequently patrolling and…...
