>Over the 26 years of the study, they found a striking decrease in the percentage of normal motile sperm. Between 1988 and 1998, sperm motility declined by 2.5 per cent per year and following a short period when stud dogs of compromised fertility were retired from the study, sperm motility from 2002 to 2014 continued to decline at a rate of 1.2% per year.

>In addition, the team discovered that the male pups generated from the stud dogs with declining semen quality, had an increased incidence of cryptorchidism, a condition in which the testes of pups fail to correctly descend into the scrotum.

>Sperm collected from the same breeding population of dogs, and testes recovered from dogs undergoing routine castration, were found to contain environmental contaminants at concentrations able to disrupt sperm motility and viability when tested.

: By my understanding ActiveXI is the core to all of the NSA's technology. Somebody was able to reverse engineer packet sniffing techniques based on ActiveXI used by NSA. In doing so they laid an ActiveXI rootkit in the NSA central server and now can access ActiveXI powered satellites.

>The attorney general found 22 women who said Durham had acted sexually inappropriate with them, referred to in the report as Jane Does. The report includes an array of allegations, from lewd comments and inappropriate hugs to giving beer to and having sex with a 20-year-old "college student/political worker" in his legislative office and home.

>During the recess, Rep. William Lamberth said he planned to make a motion on the floor that would allow Durham's microphone to be cut off if he tried to name any of the women noted in the report.

>Her voice breaking, House Speaker Beth Harwell asked the GOP caucus to support the motion in order to try and protect the women from the attorney general's report.

>"Don't do this to these women. Don't you dare," Harwell said.

>Lamberth also called on the press not to print the names of any victims if Durham does mention them or try to release them.

>"Please, for God sakes, do not print anybody's name. It is not right," Lamberth said.

>Sacramento police have released three dashcam videos and one surveillance video which show the pursuit and killing of 50-year-old Joseph Mann, who was shot 14 times by police.

>Video and audio recordings were released by Sacramento Police Chief Sam Somers on Tuesday after mounting pressure from the mayor, members of the city council and Mann’s family, who called for more information surrounding the July 11 shooting.

>“It’s unprecedented for us to release video prior to the adjudication process,” Somers told reporters. “There are times that we’re in today, sometimes it’s important that we come out with this video or this audio.

>“It’s a very disturbing situation when you have to see someone lose their life and it’s captured on video.”

>Officers were called to the scene in Del Paso Heights by two 911 callers who claimed to have seen a “mentally ill” man armed with a gun and brandishing a knife. The knife allegedly involved in the incident was later found, but no gun was located.

>The disturbing footage shows two officers fire 18 shots at Mann, 14 of which hit him, following a five-minute pursuit.

For most men having a large penis is generally considered a blessing - but for this poor Kenyan man it is a heartbreaking curse that has left him unable to have sex.

Sorence Owiti Opiyo's member is ten times that of the average male's, equating to roughly the same size as a baby.

The 20-year-old has endured a life of tragedy, being taken in by his grandmother when both his parents died when he was aged just five.

He also cannot work out and had to drop out of school because other kids were teasing him about it

He had a medical operation when he initially discovered the swelling at ten, which initially helped the problem, but it has since returned bigger and worse than ever.

Not only is Mr Opiyo's penis massively oversized, but it also is extremely disfigured towards the tip.

It means that he cannot have sex and consequently he is unable to bring any kids into the world and start a family, which is all he wants to do, according to Buzz Kenya.

His family are now trying to fund another medical procedure in a bid try to end his nightmare once and for all

He also cannot work out and had to drop out of school because other kids were teasing him about it.

His family are now trying to fund another medical procedure in a bid try to end his nightmare once and for all.

Mr Opiyo's condition, which does not have a name, is reportedly the only case in Africa.

His family have made his disfigured manhood in the hope that sympathetic viewers donate to help fund the costs.

>A Republican congressman said he misspoke when he asserted the Republican National Committee's data has been hacked, amending his remarks shortly after a top RNC official disputed his initial statement.
>GOP Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Wednesday on "The Situation Room" that he learned from intelligence briefings that hackers have targeted the RNC similarly to how they struck the Democratic National Committee.

>"Yes, they have hacked into the Republican National Committee," McCaul said.

>"So this is, again, they are not picking sides here I don't think. They are hacking into both political parties ... We're not sure why they've released some documents and not others."

>McCaul had continued: "What we don't know is the extent of damage done and what they were able to retrieve out of the RNC itself. That's, again, the subject of an FBI investigation."

>A top RNC official immediately disputed McCaul.

>"There has been no known breach of the RNC's cyber network," said Sean Cairncross, the RNC's chief operating officer.

Firefighters run into burning buildings, but how about school bus drivers?

Three-year veteran driver and mother of two Renita Smith went back into her burning bus Tuesday afternoon here in College Park.

After getting 20 elementary school kids out safely, she climbed back inside to make sure she hadn't left anyone behind.

Smith says she just went into "mommy mode." She had to protect her babies.

It’s started with a dashboard warning light for brakes and the slight smell of burning. She pulled over to radio the bus depot.

“By the time I got the mic,” she said, “one of my little ones said, 'No, Ms. Bus Driver, it's fire!" “I unbuckled my seatbelt, I open my door, and I got my babies off the bus.”

After leaving the children with neighbors, she worried one of the kindergartners might have fallen asleep on the ride home. "I didn't even think, I just ran in." She says there was dark black smoke rolling into the bus.

Within minutes, the whole bus was engulfed in flames.

“My biggest reward is my babies are safe. Because whenever I drive any school, they're my children until I drop them off to their biological parents.”

It was only after she got home and looked at the video from a fire service dashcam that she realized how bad it was.

"That's what brought the tears and the emotion, because of the what ifs…. And I cried, and I thanked God. And I cried, and I thanked God."

"I did what mom's do," she said.

When it was over, she hugged the kids. Neighbors and parents hugged and thanked her. But she says she didn't sleep much last night. She's haunted. She just keeps thinking about how bad it could have been.

Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused the bus to catch fire. But they know it started near one of the back wheels. And firefighters say these kind of fires are often touched off by defective brakes.

>VIENNA — A second attempt this year to elect Austria's president was postponed Monday when the country's interior minister said envelopes of absentee ballots frequently couldn't be sealed due to faulty adhesive strips.

>The delay must be formalized through a still-to-be-created law. But in asking the government to draft such legislation, Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka effectively canceled plans to hold the vote Oct. 2.

>The presidency originally was to have been filled in July, after left-leaning contender Alexander Van der Bellen edged out Norbert Hofer of the right-wing Freedom Party. But the country's highest court ordered a rerun after the Freedom Party claimed major irregularities.

>The court decision was seen as a victory for the Freedom Party, giving it more time to exploit widespread anti-migrant sentiment in favor of its candidate. Recent polls have given Hofer a 4 to 6 percentage-point edge over Van der Bellen.

>Monday's unprecedented development means that Austria will remain without a head of state for at least two more months. Shortly after Sobotka's announcement, the center-left government coalition agreed to hold the vote on Dec. 4, leaving time for legislation to be drawn up and passed by parliament, as well as for printing and distributing new absentee ballots and envelopes.
