The Islamic State claimed responsibility for a wave of explosions in Brussels that left dozens dead and nearly 200 injured, according to the security analyst group SITE.
The attacks occurred just days after the suspected mastermind of last year’s Paris terror attacks was captured in the Belgian capital.
Belgian media reported that at least 14 people were killed in a bombing and an apparent suicide attack at the Zaventem airport, where gunfire was also reported. An additional 20 were killed in blasts that occurred an hour later at the Maelbeek metro station, transit officials told Flemish public broadcaster VRT.

The DEA has arrested a man they say gave heroin to a pregnant woman, killing both the woman and her unborn child.
Anthony Vita of Virginia Beach, Virginia, faces charges of dealing drugs in the Syracuse, New York, area, and causing the overdose death of 24-year-old Morgan Axe of Camillus, New York, who was five months pregnant when her family found her dead next to a syringe and a bag of heroin last November.
The arrest comes as local and federal law enforcement agencies are rushing to address the rise of heroin overdoses and addiction throughout the Northeast.

President Barack Obama arrived to small but cheering crowds on Sunday at the start of a historic visit to Cuba that opened a new chapter in U.S. engagement with the island’s Communist government after decades of hostility between the former Cold War foes.
The three-day trip, the first by a U.S. president to Cuba in 88 years, is the culmination of a diplomatic opening announced by Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro in December 2014, ending an estrangement that began when the Cuban revolution ousted a pro-American government in 1959.
“It’s a historic opportunity to engage directly with the Cuban people,” Obama told staff at the newly reopened U.S. Embassy who were gathered at a hotel, his first stop after arriving in the afternoon.

S Skype and Facetime are not enough. Microsoft is developing life-size, 3-D video chat so your friend can remotely sit across a table from you while you gab.
Microsoft Research recently released a paper describing how it can make augmented reality telepresence a reality. The setup requires three projector cameras each equipped with a Microsoft Kinect V2 camera, which capture the dimensionality of the person in front of the camera, their relationship to their environment and relevant objects in their room. Meanwhile, projectors display the incoming video onto an empty couch or chair in the recipients room.
The system can move the projection as needed, for instance if someone else comes in the room and sits where the projection is, it will relocate. But it’s worth noting, the video isn’t actually 3-D, though it gives the illusion of three-dimensionality.

Fox News has had enough of GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s attacks on anchor Megyn Kelly.
After Trump on Friday called Kelly “sick” and “crazy” on Twitter and appealed to supporters to boycott her show, the network went to bat, labelling Trump’s attacks “deplorable,” and “beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate.”
Trump has been feuding with Kelly since the first Republican debate in August, when she questioned his views on women. He seemed to have reached a truce with her during a debate earlier this month, but inexplicably began lambasting her on Twitter again Tuesday night, as he was racking up primary victories.

Marine archaeologists say they’ve found the earliest ship from Europe’s Age of Discovery ever uncovered — the wreck of a vessel from Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama’s brutal second armada to India in 1502.
Experts called it a find of major importance that could change how historians view trade and warfare during a critical period in the development of Western civilization.
The ship is believed to be the Esmeralda, which sank in a storm off the Omani island of Al Hallaniyah in May 1503, researchers said in a paper published in this week’s edition of the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology (PDF). By more than 50 years, it’s the earliest ship ever recovered from the era when Portuguese explorers opened the Western Hemisphere and dominated the Indian subcontinent.

Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday floated the idea of paying the legal fees of a white supporter who sucker-punched a black man leaving a rally. Later that day, he claimed “no responsibility” for political violence, suggesting instead that protesters are dangerous and that his supporters are right to “hit back.” He even blamed Democratic candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for sending protesters to disrupt his rallies, and threatened to sic his supporters on Sanders in retaliation.
Extreme political movements like Trump’s often go hand-in-hand with street violence. But organized militias like Adolf Hitler’s brown shirts and Benito Mussolini’s black shirts don’t spring up overnight. They evolve.

It’s no secret that the Earth is in dire straits. Photos of the waterways in Rio de Janeiro, still reeking of sewage despite a years-long cleanup plan ahead of this summer’s Olympics, prove just how difficult it can be to fix what humanity has fouled.
The human toll of all this pollution and destruction is vast. A report released Tuesday by the World Health Organization links nearly 13 million deaths worldwide to preventable environmental factors. The study found that nearly 1 in 4 deaths in 2012, the most recent year cited in the report, had to do with surroundings made unhealthy by air pollution, poor water quality and other environmental factors. More than 1 in 4 deaths of children under the age of 5 were linked to the same sources.
“A healthy environment underpins a healthy population,” Margaret Chan, director-general of WHO, said in a statement. “If countries do not take actions to make environments where people live and work healthy, millions will continue to become ill and die too young.”

Five sheriff’s deputies in North Carolina have been disciplined for failure to act after a black protester was punched by a white supporter of Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally, the sheriff’s office said Wednesday.
Three of the deputies have been demoted and will be suspended without pay for five days for “unsatisfactory performance and failing to discharge the duties and policies of the office of sheriff,” according to a statement released by Sheriff Earl Butler of Cumberland County on his Facebook page. The other two deputies were suspended for three days without pay.
All five were to be placed on probation for the next year, Sheriff Butler said. The names of the deputies were not released.

The fact that Taylor Swift’s romantic dramedy of a song, “Wildest Dreams,” has been stuck in your head for damn days has nothing to do with whether or not it’s good. According to science, the reason why music gets stuck in our heads may have more to do with us — our brains, our personalities and the things we loathe — than it does with the imposing songs themselves.
A 2015 study found that earworms — scientifically speaking, involuntary musical imagery (INMI) — occur more frequently in people with tissue highly concentrated in the parts of the brain that are linked to memory and sound perception, as one would maybe guess if one were able to put the internal music on pause and really focus on the root of the problem.
“We did find a link between certain brain areas involved in music perception and music-evoked emotions and actually, emotions in general,” lead author of the study, Nicolas Farrugia, told CBS.
