It is not the “scary clown” epidemic that makes Americans afraid, but more mundane fears, such as corrupt government. Unfair officials terrify people more than terrorism or economic collapse, according to a new survey.

HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) — The British territory of Bermuda hunkered down overnight as Hurricane Nicole rapidly strengthened into a major Category 4 storm and took aim at the tiny island in the northern Atlantic Ocean.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami called Nicole an “extremely dangerous” storm and urged islanders to rush preparations for its powerful rain and winds. It said Nicole should pass near Bermuda on Thursday morning. The storm was located about 100 miles (165 kilometers) southwest of Bermuda early Thursday morning. It had maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (215 kph) and was moving north-northeast at 15 mph (24 kph). Continue reading “‘Extremely dangerous’ Hurricane Nicole to pummel Bermuda”
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations’ 193-member states are expected to appoint Portugal’s former Prime Minister Antonio Guterres as the world body’s next secretary-general.

Guterres, 67, was nominated by acclamation in the 15-member Security Council last week to replace Ban Ki-moon whose second five-year term ends on Dec. 31. He would be the ninth secretary-general in the organization’s 71-year history. Continue reading “UN expected to approve Guterres for secretary-general”

On Tuesday the Los Angeles Police Commission passed a proposal to give LAPD officers more training before deploying lethal force.
The commission also said there needs to be an “increase [in] the number of staff who review how officers use less serious force, such as less-lethal weapons or punches, to take someone into custody.” The argument behind new requirements for less-lethal force is that such force is used more often than lethal.
