(AP) SANAA, Yemen – An airstrike killed al Qaeda’s No. 2 leader in Yemen along with six others traveling with him in one car on Monday, U.S. and Yemeni officials said, a major breakthrough for U.S.-backed efforts to cripple the group in the impoverished Arab nation. Saeed al-Shihri, a Saudi national who fought in Afghanistan and spent six years in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, was killed by a missile after leaving a house in the southern province of Hadramawt, according to Yemeni military officials. They said the missile was believed to have been fired by a U.S.-operated, unmanned drone aircraft. Two senior U.S. officials confirmed al-Shihri’s death but could not confirm any U.S. involvement in the airstrike. The U.S. doesn’t usually comment on such attacks although it has used drones in the past to go after al Qaeda members in Yemen, which is considered a crucial battleground with the terror network. Yemeni military officials said that a local forensics team had identified al-Shihri’s body with the help of U.S. forensics experts on the ground. The U.S. and Yemeni military officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to release the information to the media.

(CBS) QUEENS, New York — As far as his parents knew, 15-year-old Will Neibergall was an average teen noodling around on his Mac. Sure, he was on Facebook and Twitter and texting and all the usual social media of today’s teens. And they knew he was musically-inclined, fiddling with digital music programs — enough so that he was in a special arts and science program at McClintock High School in Tempe, Arizona. But when Will told his folks he’d been invited to perform in New York City by the Museum of Modern Art PS1, well … “It blew us away,” said Will’s father, Dave Neibergall. “We had no idea.” Flash forward a few weeks, and there was Will — or “Glass Popcorn,” his Internet art alias — rapping on top of a black Cadillac Escalade amid draq queens, lady body builders and one very bootylicious backup dancer. Glass Popcorn, it turns out, has achieved a following in certain artsy corners of the Web. “His music is so mature for a kid his age,” said Marco Roso, an editor at DIS Magazine, which organized the lineup for the MoMA PS1 performance. DIS editors were aware of Glass Popcorn from his Internet projects but not sure he was really a teen-ager. “We thought he might be an Internet name, not really a person,” said another DIS editor, Nick Scholl. A web...

(CBS/AP) Who has the most Emmys won by an actor, male or female? Mary Tyler Moore? Johnny Chase? Bill Cosby? Bea Arthur? Nope. Cloris Leachman. Pictures: Emmy nominees 2011Pictures: Creative Arts Emmys She had a chance to top herself at last week’s Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, set to air this Saturday on ReelzChannel, for 배터리바둑이 her guest-starring role on “Raising Hope.” Leachman plays the only occasionally lucid Maw Maw on the Fox sitcom, which also earned star Martha Plimpton a nomination for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. The 85-year-old Leachman has won one Daytime and eight Primetime Emmy awards, but – spoiler alert – she lost out on her 10th trophy to “Glee” guest actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Still, Leachman’s Emmy record remains intact. “Well, I used to be tied with Sir Lawrence Olivier,” she said. “But he was kind enough to die, and then I was able to continue. So I thought that was very, very big of him especially since he’s English.” Leachman, whose first credits date back to the late 1940s, is perhaps best known for her work on the `70s sitcom classic “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” She said the Emmys have been cause for a friendly competition between her and her “MTM” costars, fellow multiple winners Moore and Ed Asner. “I remember Mary saying, `You have nine? I thought you had eight.’ `No,...

Doubleday, an imprint of Random House Inc., 카지노 코인 will publish the book in the spring of 2009. “Baseball has changed dramatically since I began my tenure with the Yankees,” Torre said in a statement issued Thursday by Doubleday. “It was a wonderful 12 years and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and perspective on how the game has evolved.” According to Doubleday, Torre will explain his “decision to walk way from the job of manager of the Yankees, but only as the endgame in explaining in unprecedented detail what history will record as the `Torre Era.”‘ Torre signed a three-year, $13 million contract to manage the Dodgers last Thursday, exactly two weeks after walking away from the New York Yankees when they offered a one-year contract worth $5 million plus $3 million in performance bonuses he termed “an insult.” The Yankees were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs this fall and haven’t won a World Series since 2000.
