\t While no one claimed responsibility for the attack, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif pointed the finger at Israel, calling the killing an act of ``\"state terror.''

James M. Evans, a politician and business owner, was the first African American chairman of the Utah Republican Party. He was born to Robert and Beatrice Evans in Orangeburg, South Carolina, in 1962. He graduated from Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School in 1981 as the class president and attended Tuskegee University in Alabama the following year. He graduated in 1985 with a bachelor’s of science in chemical engineering. During this time, his interest in politics took shape as he became a member of Tuskegee’s Young Republicans Club.
After graduating, Evans enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he worked as a navigator. After his service was completed, Evans relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah, and later started a small business in 1994. He started a payday loan franchise, Chekline, which eventually prospered and ranked him among the more successful black business owners in the city.
In 2001 Evans ran for Utah state senator in District 1. The first district was a traditional Democratic stronghold. It had been thirty years since a Republican had held the office at the time that Evans was in the running. The George H. Bush White House gained interest in the race and sent local advisors originating from the area to assist with the campaign. Evans won by capturing the votes of workers and racial minority who normally don’t vote for GOP candidates. His victory was considered one of the most significant Republican wins in the election season. Evans held office from 2002 to 2004 and also worked on the Utah Republican Bylaws Committee.
After his term finished, Evans focused on city level politics. In 2005 at the Salt Lake County Republican Convention, delegates chose Evans to become the new Salt Lake County Republican Party chairman. He was re-elected in 2007 for another two years and hit the two-term limit for the position. Republican success in the county had dipped at this time, highlighted by losing control of a traditionally GOP County Council. As the outgoing council chair in 2009, Evans was hopeful the
By STAN CHOE AP Business Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Most U.S. stocks are slipping in early trading on Tuesday, giving back some of their big gains from the past couple weeks.

By ISABEL DEBRE Associated Press DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dozens of journalists at Al-Jazeera, the Qatari state-owned media company, have been targeted by advanced spyware in an attack likely linked to the governments of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, a cybersecurity watchdog reported on Sunday. Citizen Lab said it traced malware that infected the personal phones of 36 journalists, producers, anchors and executives at Al-Jazeera back to the Israel-based NSO Group, which has been widely condemned for selling spyware to repressive governments. Most unnerving to the investigators was that iMessages were infecting targeted cellphones without the […]

Mae Jemison is an American Physician and a former NASA Astronaut. Jemison is the first African American woman to travel in space.
Mae Carol Jemison was born on October 17, 1956 in Decatur, Alabama. When she was three years old, her family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where she studied at the Morgan Park High School. During her teenage years, Jemison was highly interested in a career in either science or dancing; she followed her mother’s advice which she quoted was “You can always dance if you’re a doctor, but you can’t doctor if you’re a dancer”, and so the young Jemison was accepted by Stanford University at the tender age of sixteen. She later graduated with a B.S in Chemical Engineering and with a B.A. in African and Afro-American Studies. Jemison then studied medicine at the Cornell Medical College, from where she graduated in 1981.
During her first years as a physician, Jemison travelled to Cuba, Thailand, and Kenya to promote primary medical care there. She then joined the Peace Corps in 1983 as a Medical Officer for the Peace Corps Volunteers of Liberia and Sierra Leone. Jemison then applied to the NASA Astronaut Program in 1983. She was rejected for the first round of applications, but she received a call in 1987 which invited her to the program.
Jemison then worked with NASA as a Shuttle Avionics Specialist at the Kennedy Space Center. Her first and only space mission was from September 12-20, 1992, as a Mission Specialist. The mission, titled ‘STS-47’, included 44 life sciences and materials experiments. Jemison spent a total of 190 hours, 30 minutes, and 23 seconds in space.
Jemison recalled that the first thing she saw from space was her hometown, Chicago. Jemison also brought along many other objects to space with her, these included a poster from her dance company to commemorate her love for dance, a picture of Bessie Coleman, who was the first African American Woman to fly in an airplane, and several other art objects from Western African countries to signify that space belongs to everyone.
NAHLAYIM RANCH, Golan Heights (Reuters) - The buzz of tiny rotors has replaced dog barks and bullwhips on this Israeli ranch, where drones are being used to herd and observe cattle. The remote-controlled quadcopters hover near the cows, which move along in response while live video is relayed back to the farmers. “Using a drone, instead of cowboys and dogs, creates a much less stressful environment for the animals, and an animal that is less stressful is a lot healthier and more productive,” said Noam Azran, CEO of BeeFree Agro, the firm developing the method. The drones also offer more efficient control of large droves and pastures, he said, adding that there has been interest from the United Arab Emirates, which in September established formal relations with Israel. BeeFree Agro representatives will go to the Gulf state this month “to see if our solution can work for camels,” he said.

By TASSANEE VEJPONGSA and NICK PERRY Associated Press BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand said Thursday it transferred three Iranians involved in a botched 2012 bomb plot back to Tehran, as Iran released an Australian academic who was imprisoned for more than two years on spying charges. While Thai officials declined to call it a swap and Iran referred to the men as 'economic activists,' the arrangement freed academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert and saw the three men linked to a wider bomb plot targeting Israeli diplomats return home to a hero's welcome. The bombers wore Iranian flags draped over their shoulders, their faces […]
