(AP) HAMILTON, Bermuda – Tropical Storm Leslie moved slowly northward Saturday after pausing to spin in place over the Atlantic, and forecasters expected it would regain strength and become a hurricane before passing to the east of Bermuda. The latest forecasts pointed to the storm going by about 200 miles (320 kilometers) east-southeast of the British territory Sunday afternoon or evening as a Category 1 hurricane, the Bermuda Weather Service said. “It appears that Bermuda will be spared a direct impact,” Wayne Perinchief, the national security minister, said Friday. “However, I urge the public to remain cautious as there is the potential for the storm to re-intensify and change track, and we could experience heavy rain and winds in shower bands.” Some businesses closed early Friday and shops were crowded for a second day with people buying emergency supplies. At least one cruise ship canceled a stop in Bermuda and the airport was expected to close. Bermuda, a wealthy offshore financial haven and tourist destination, has strong building codes and is accustomed to storms, and many people on the island followed Leslie without fear. “I have taken precautions,” said Gareth Kerr, 29. “The windows have the shutters across and I got supplies such as water and tinned food. If the weather is bad tomorrow I’ll just sit indoors.” Leslie weakens to tropical storm off Bermuda Still, there was the...

(AP) MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin says Russia can work with Mitt Romney if he’s elected U.S. president, even though Romney has called Russia the United States’ “No. 1 geopolitical foe.” In an interview broadcast Thursday by the Kremlin-funded Russia Today TV channel, Putin made his first direct comments about the Republican challenger to President Barack Obama. Romney keeps up strong rhetoric on Russia “We’ll work with whichever president is elected by the American people. But our effort will be only as efficient as our partners will want it to be,” Putin said. Putin expressed concern about how a Romney presidency would affect the long-running dispute over U.S.-led NATO plans to place elements of a missile-defense system in Europe. Russia contends the system could undermine its own defenses. Putin said if Romney is elected “the missile defense system will definitely be directed against Russia.” The wide-ranging interview showed Putin’s acerbic and combative side, https://www.titaniumrings.top/ particularly on the issue of the two-year prison sentence imposed last month on three members of the provocateur band Pussy Riot for their “punk prayer” prank in Moscow’s main cathedral entreating the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin. Their conviction brought widespread criticism of Russia for stifling opposition and free speech. Putin briefly sparred with the English-speaking interviewer over how the band’s name could be translated into Russian, saying “I think you wouldn’t do...

After 20 years of darkness, there is light for a man in Medford, Massachusetts. A bionic eye implant has helped Anthony Andreotolla gain back some vision. It’s not eyesight in the way most people see, but the technology is making a difference in his daily life. “It’s not actual vision. It’s what they call artificial vision,” Andreotolla told CBS Boston. He suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease that affects the retina. Andreotolla began to lose his vision in his teens and by his thirties, he couldn’t see anything. “Once everything is black, for many, many years, that was it,” he said. For 20 years he lived in that darkness until he became one of the first people to receive a bionic eye. Every day, Andreotolla puts on special glasses and commutes on public transportation to his job in Boston about six miles south of his home. A tiny camera in the glasses sends images to a wearable computer and then those images are processed and sent wirelessly to an implant in his eye. The implant surgery took place in Baltimore at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. “I don’t see things the way other people do. I see everything in different flashes, lights, shapes,” Andreotolla explained. It’s more of a cloudy, black and white vision, he explains. “I can tell the difference between a car or a bus or...
