22 immigrants die as boats sink
A yacht and a dinghy crammed with immigrants trying to enter Greece capsized today in the eastern Aegean Sea, leaving at least 22 dead, including four children, and several more missing. The vessels had been trying to enter Greece illegally when they overturned before dawn off the coast of the island of Samos near the Turkish coast. It was not immediately clear what caused the overloaded craft to capsize. This was the third fatal migrant boat disaster this year. The Greek coast guard said 36 people - 32 men, three women and a child - were rescued, and two of them - a man and a child - were airlifted to a hospital on the mainland. The survivors were identified as 23 Somalis, nine Syrians and...

Justice Alito Smacks Down Justice Kagan's Dissent In Prayer Case, Calls It 'Highly Imaginative'
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that opening prayers before town hall meetings do not violate the U.S. Constitution, but the tight, 5-4 decision exposed the bitter disagreement between the court's conservative and liberal justices.
In the most striking example of that discord, Justice Samuel Alito tore into the principal dissent from Justice Elena Kagan, calling her examples of other times when prayer might be allowed in public "highly imaginative hypotheticals."
The court ruled that Greece, New York, a small town far north of Manhattan, did not violate the Constitution's separation of church and state established by the First Amendment, even if the opening prayers at its monthly town meetings were overwhelmingly Christian.
In her dissent, Kagan criticized the majority because Greece's meetings "involve participation by ordinary citizens, and the invocations given — directly to those citizens — were predominantly sectarian in content." She argued this differed from a 1983 case involving prayers in the Nebraska state legislature, which led the majority to rule for the town of Greece in its case case against plaintiff Susan Galloway.
Kagan imagined a plethora of hypotheticals express her dissent:
You are a party in a case headed to trial, in which you have filed suit against the government for infringing on one of your rights. The judge, Kagan argued, could agree to not begin the trial until a minister has said a prayer. At your local polling place on Election Day, an election official could ask everyone to join him in a prayer. He could conclude, make the sign of the cross, and "wait expectantly for you and the other prospective voters to do so too." You are an immigrant attending a naturalization ceremony. The presiding official could ask you and other applicants to join a minister in prayer at its start."I would hold that the government officials responsible for the above practices — that is, for prayer repeatedly invoking a single religion’s beliefs in these settings — crossed a constitutional line," Kagan wrote.
Alito called special attention to the hypotheticals in Kagan's dissent, writing he worried some readers would be concerned the U.S. was heading down a slippery slope because of Monday's decision. He even hinted he felt Kagan's hypotheticals were irresponsible.
"I am troubled by the message that some readers may take from the principal dissent’s rhetoric and its highly imaginative hypotheticals," he wrote.
"Although I do not suggest that the implication is intentional, I am concerned that at least some readers will take these hypotheticals as a warning that this is where today’s decision leads — to a country in which religious minorities are denied the equal benefits of citizenship.
"Nothing could be further from the truth. All that the Court does today is to allow a town to follow a practice that we have previously held is permissible for Congress and state legislatures. In seeming to suggest otherwise, the principal dissent goes far astray."

There will be (fake) blood: five of the goriest theatrical bloodbaths
They've been fainting in the aisles at the Globe, due to a stomach-churning production of Titus Andronicus. Here are five more examples of the power of on-stage physical aggression
Audience members fainting at scenes of rape, mutilation and murder at Shakespeare's Globe during its current production of Titus Andronicus offer a reassuring reminder of the power of physical aggression in the theatre. Though it's worth remembering that, in hot weather, they faint a lot anyway at that Bankside open air cockpit; I've seen people pass out at Love's Labour's Lost, for heaven's sake. But spilt blood and guts are what the Greek and Jacobean theatre were all about, with offstage violence and neutralising masks in the former and buckets of red stuff splashing all over the groundlings in the latter. And how refreshing it is to see such stomach-churning atrocity in the theatre, where it rightly belongs, rather than on depressing newsreels from around the world. Here are five more on-stage bloodbaths capable of sending the audience rushing for the exit.

The Shameless Right-Wing...
Though it is true that the current president and his successive governments have not yet succeeded in saving the country: unemployment, during the past two years, has increased by 500,000, and public debt has grown by 150 billion dollars; the French external deficit has reached extreme levels. The departures of French executives, young people, researchers, fortunes and decision-making centers have accelerated. And, for the past two years, reforms have been slow in coming.
However, the right-wing in France is in no real position to criticize and denounce the situation outlined earlier. Yet their leaders have reached the peak of shamelessness with their statements during the savings package debate in the Parliament. From their perspective, for the past 2 years, the overall result of the left-wing's action plans was to undo a country where everything was fine. And we have actually heard the right-wing shamelessly recommend to the left-wing, as a matter of urgency, that they undertake reforms that they themselves had not dared to carry out when they were in power.
The time has also come to spell out a few home truths, that it would be wrong for the right-wing to forget:
1. The country was in a very bad way when the left-wing took up the running. During the former President's term of office, (who like his successor, has managed international crises well) almost no major reform was actually made which would facilitate the modernization of the country. Only some rough solutions were proposed, far too timid, addressing issues such as the universities, labor law, competition, trade union representativeness and the entrepreneur's status.
2. Political parties (both Left and Right) know what's needed; and there is consensual understanding in this country among all our political and labor elites on what it will take to modernize the country: making public spending more efficient and more just, and in particular the funding for housing and the financing for social benefits; extending people's working lives as life expectancy is increasing; suppressing of departments; focusing vocational training on the unemployed; developing work-linked training; fashioning a fiscal
devaluation in order to improve competitiveness; developing research; reviving large infrastructural investments; breaking up secure incomes in the regulated professions, from taxis to businesses; promoting the energy transition; releasing personal initiative, in particular, by strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises; focusing education resources on pre-school education. And much more.
3. The right-wing cannot claim to have had insufficient time to carry out these reforms. They were in power for ten years without interruption. And instead of asking the left-wing to revisit the 35-hour week legislation, or cut back on spending, or expand Sunday work, they should apologize to the country for not having the courage to do so when they were still in power.
4. The right-wing cannot claim that the crisis prohibited them from making reforms. The fact is that other European countries reformed themselves heavily during a crisis, for example, in Germany, Greece, Great Britain and Italy. This was also the case for Spain and Sweden. And in France, both the Jospin and Raffarin Governments have demonstrated that, likewise, in case of abundance, reforms are not made either.
5. The right-wing is responsible for the brutality of the reforms launched today, because they let the situation deteriorate: for example, if the budgetary savings and the reform of vocational training had been carried out as early as 2009, as was actually proposed, we would have 500,000 fewer people out of work and for general government debt-to-GDP ratio a decline by 10 GDP percentage points today. And there would have been no need for the left-wing to rush out, with courage, a €50 billion budget savings plan, which will probably not be enough.
6. Therefore, the right-wing ought to make due apology and admission of their own errors. Because it is from them that we learn. They must be inconspicuous for a while, if only to prepare themselves, eventually, to govern more effectively the next time voters put them in charge.
More generally, the French political class remains light years behind the maturity of the French people that they are supposed to be leading. And if current politicians today are not capable of handling the truth, and their own mistakes, others will emerge. Out of nowhere.

A Woman Whose iPhone Was Stolen Went To The Thief's House To Get It Back
Apple's Find My iPhone feature is intended to help you track down your lost or stolen smartphone, but what happens after you locate your device? Do you head to the thief's location, or call the police?
For West Hollywood, California resident Sarah Maguire, confronting the person who stole her iPhone was the best way to get it back.
Maguire and her roommate both woke up after a Saturday night out to find that their iPhones were missing, she told The New York Times. After using Find My iPhone, Maguire and her roommate realized their phones were in West Covina, which is 30 miles east from her apartment.
When the two women called the police to alert them of the situation, they were told to go to West Covina themselves and call 911 if they felt they were in danger.
Maguire and her roommate confronted the thief, and after a little persistent negotiation, he handed over both iPhones.
Maguire's story is just one of many cases in which "Find My iPhone" has been used as a tool to track down thieves and criminals. One of the most memorable scenarios occurred in 2012 when David Pogue, former New York Times technology columnist who now works for Yahoo's tech magazine, lost his iPhone. Using "Find My iPhone," he posted images of the device's location online and crowdsourced readers for help. With a little assistance from Gizmodo, he ultimately got it back.
Nikos Kakavoulis, founder of The Daily Secret, cleverly used "Find My iPhone" to catch a naive iPhone thief in a Starbucks in Athens, Greece back in 2012. Using the PlaySound feature in iCloud, which prompts your phone to start beeping immediately, Kakavoulis was able to locate his iPhone before the robber even left the coffee shop, as TechCrunch reported.
Maguire's situation also shows that smartphone theft is still a prominent issue, especially in large cities. Nearly 2,400 smartphones were stolen in San Francisco in 2013, according to The Huffington Post. More than half of those stolen phones were iPhones. In New York City, 8,465 Apple products were stolen in 2013.
California State Senator Mark Leno has been trying to address this issue with an effort nicknamed the "kill switch" bill. Just last week, California senators turned down the initiative, which would require smartphones to be preloaded with anti-theft software. This would essentially lock the phone down and render it useless if it were stolen. The thief would have to enter a special PIN to activate the phone.
Although Apple's Find My iPhone had proved useful for Maguire, it's not difficult for thieves to work around this tool. Apple's anti-theft software won't be able to track the phone if it's turned off or if it's not connected to the Internet.
If your phone is stolen, you should deactivate your phone immediately and make sure you log out of all of your important accounts.
