>The act of watering the ground after applying pesticide may seem innocuous, but it was enough to kill four children in Texas.

>One was a high school senior on the brink of graduation. The other three were her little brothers; the youngest was 7 years old.

>On Tuesday, Amarillo police explained what went wrong: Some of the family members started feeling sick Monday after the pesticide was applied under their mobile home. So one of the residents tried to dilute it with water.

>It was fatal mistake.

>After someone applied the pesticide -- aluminum phosphide -- under the mobile home, a family member tried to wash it away, said Capt. Larry Davis of the Amarillo Fire Department.
But aluminum phosphide mixed with water creates toxic phosphine gas, which can cause excess fluid in the lungs and respiratory failure.

>There were 10 people inside the mobile home at the time, Davis said. Emergency crews arrived at the home just after 5 a.m. Monday after receiving a call that people there were sick.
In addition to the four children killed, five other people from inside the home were hospitalized

>Long Island volunteer firefighter Jonathan Antovel has been arrested and charged with first-degree rape.

>A former NYPD cop says she went home with Antovel after a party at his station house in Hauppauge on December 10.

>She passed out and while she was sleeping he allegedly raped her.

>During the attack, Antovel reportedly took pictures of his victim and sent the photos to friends - at least two of whom were NYPD officers.

>One of his cop friends reported the photos immediately to the Internal Affairs Bureau in Suffolk County, leading to his arrest.

>President Barack Obama admonished Donald Trump Thursday, saying the Republican nominee's claims that he might not accept the results of next month's election are "not a joking matter."

>"I want everybody to pay attention here. This is dangerous," Obama said at a Hillary for America event in Miami Gardens, Florida.

>"Because when you try to sow the seeds of doubt in people's mind about the legitimacy of our elections, that undermines our democracy. Then you are doing the work of our adversaries for them."

Where did this sentiment go after you lost the election, libtards?

>Starting next week, Norway will become the first country to switch off its nationwide FM radio network and convert completely to digital signals.

>The change was announced in 2015, and will take months to be fully implemented.

>The Norwegian government decided to make the transition in part because digital radio can provide many more channels for the same price — eight times as many, to be precise.

>Norway currently has room for just five national radio stations on its FM system — three public broadcasting channels, and two commercial channels. Other national radio stations, as well as some regional and local stations, are already using the digital system.

>Supporters of the switch also say digital radio will sound clearer than FM, or frequency modulation, and that the signal will be clearer in places where fjords and mountains interfere with FM signals.

>As we reported in 2015, the Norwegian government also says that digital radio is less likely to fail in extreme conditions, which lawmakers saw as an advantage for emergency preparedness.

>The CEO of Digitalradio Norway says the country's FM network is antiquated and would need massive investments to maintain — so, to allow investment in digital radio, the FM network needs to be shut down

>An unusual poker game is taking place in Pittsburgh, pitting human players against an artificial intelligence program.
>The goal is to see if a computer can beat four of the best players in the variant of poker known as no-limit heads-up Texas hold 'em.
>In a similar tournament in 2015, the humans won.

>The algorithm could be adapted for use in medicine, cybersecurity, business and the military, its creators said.

>"Since the earliest days of AI research, beating top human players has been a powerful measure of progress in the field," said Tuomas Sandholm, professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon.
>"That was achieved with chess in 1997, with Jeopardy in 2009 and with the board game Go just last year.
>"Poker poses a far more difficult challenge than these games, as it requires a machine to make extremely complicated decisions based on incomplete information while contending with bluffs, slow play and other ploys."

>Solving the complex game of poker had many real-world applications, Dr Sandholm said.
>"Extending AI to real-world decision-making, where details are unknown and adversaries are actively revising their strategies, is fundamentally harder than games with perfect information or question-answering systems," said Nick Nystrom, senior director of research at Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center .

>Inside 'Methbot': The massive Russian cybercrime operation stealing millions from advertisers

http://adage.com/article/digital/ad-fraud-scheme-cost-advertisers-3-million-day/307235/


>Collectively dubbed "Methbot" by WhiteOps, the bots scammed publications like the Huffington Post, The Economist, Fortune, ESPN, Vogue, CBS Sports and Fox News, the company said. Overall, about 6,000 publishers were hit, according to the report. Social media websites weren't immune to the attack, either, as platforms like Facebook were also hit, it said.

>A complex ad fraud scheme has been siphoning $3 million to $5 million per day since October from the largest U.S. brands and media companies, making it the most profitable and advanced operation seen by the industry to date, according to a new report from WhiteOps, an anti-ad fraud security firm.

>A group of Russian hackers were behind the attack, creating more than half a million fake users and 250,000 fake websites to pull off the scheme, according to WhiteOps. Bots, which are used to mimic human behavior to dupe advertisers in paying for impressions never seen by humans, were used to view some 300 million video ads a day, according to the report.

>The Methbot operation targeted the most expensive advertising on the internet: full-sized video ads served in full view on name-brand sites to users who were logged in to social media and showed signs of engagement like mouse movement, WhiteOps said. The operation was able to avoid notice for weeks by mimicking many of the telltale signals of human interaction monitored by advertisers and anti-fraud firms.

The trio met the stranger on a night out before luring him back to one of their homes.

They plied him with vodka until he passed out and then sexually assaulted him in a bizarre attack.

Footage shot by the trio showed them dancing as they molested their victim.

A judge warned Brogan Gillard, 26, Paige Cunningham, 22, and Shannon Jones, 20, they faced jail after they admitted sexual assault at Preston Crown Court.

Not guilty pleas to charges of sexual assault by penetration and causing actual bodily harm were accepted.

The court heard the clip showed the 20-year-old victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, on the floor as Gillard cut his hair and sliced vegetables over him.

Gillard brandished scissors and asked: “Put in his bum?’’ before parting the cheeks of his bottom.

Though he felt pain, there was no serious injury.

The victim did not wish to give evidence in a trial.

All three, from Barrowin-Furness, Cumbria, will be sentenced in January and were told to sign the sex offenders’ register.

Gillard also admitted unrelated child cruelty charges.

>Children keep getting more expensive to raise -- fashion is pricier and so are doctor visits and day care, according to the U.S. government.

>At least food’s still relatively cheap.

>The cost for a middle-income family to raise a child born in 2015 to age 18 is $233,610, a 3 percent increase from the previous year, the Department of Agriculture said Monday. Housing was the largest expense, at 29 percent of the cost. Wealthier families, who live in costlier neighborhoods and are more likely to use day care, spend more than twice as much on their children as poorer households.

>The USDA has prepared the report almost every year since 1960. It tracks seven categories of spending, including housing, transportation and clothing, and is used to help courts and government agencies estimate child-support costs. It excludes payments for college, as well as financial contributions from sources other than parents, including government aid.

>The department says a middle-income, married couple with two children is estimated to spend $233,610 to raise a child born in 2015. If you crunch the numbers-families can expect to spend between $12 and $14,000 a year, on average, to raise a child.
