(AP) KABUL, Afghanistan – A bomb in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed six NATO service members, on a day where a total of 29 people died from roadside bombs and insurgent attacks. NATO said the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device but provided no further details about the attack and did not identify the dead service members. The statement said NATO’s policy is to allow “national authorities” to give details about the soldiers. A surge in Afghan and coalition forces during the past two years routed Taliban fighters from many of their strongholds in the south, but the insurgents have stepped up their attacks this summer to take back key areas. The service members’ deaths were the latest on Sunday caused by bombs planted by insurgents along roadsides, paths or mountain tracks. More in Afghanistan: The way forward In addition to the six NATO deaths, bombs and attacks killed 16 Afghan civilians, five policemen and two members of the U.S.-led coalition in southern Afghanistan, Afghan and NATO authorities said. The civilians, including women and children, were killed in three blasts in Arghistan district, along Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan. Kandahar province spokesman Ahmad Jawed Faisal said one bomb exploded when a minivan ran over it Sunday morning. A second went off when other civilians riding a tractor arrived to help the wounded. A third explosion occurred about two...

(CBS) The final 14 dancers showed their stuff to choreography by a new (new to SYTYCD, that is) group of artists on Wednesday night’s episode of the Fox summer hit “So You Think You Can Dance.” Pictures: “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 8 But all eyes may have been on the judges panel which included, of all people, Carmen Electra in a sheer, low-cut ensemble. I could see Debbie Reynolds last week; at least she was a tap dancer in her day. But Carmen Electra? What can she tell contestants about their dancing? It turns out, 사설 총판 not much, despite the long list of dance credentials she spouted at the start of the show. Her comments were filled with mindless generalities and sometimes she just repeated the comments of the other judges. Those other judges included former contestant and now acclaimed choreographer Travis Wall, whose comments were pointed and who almost always had helpful tips for the dancers. (And he also was wearing a very dapper purple velvet jacket.) Mary Murphy and show creator and producer Nigel Lythgoe completed the panel. Among the new choreographers were Justine Giles, Ray Leeper, and Chucky Klapow. While the dancing by the pairs showed various degrees of proficiency, it was the group works that stole the show. Wednesday’s episode started with a Justin Giles piece for the men about the...

(AP) NEW YORK – Two dozen people on four continents have been arrested in an elaborate sting targeting a black market for online financial fraud, 영광출장업소 federal officials in New York said Tuesday. U.S. officials called the crackdown in United States, Europe, Asia and Australia the largest enforcement effort ever against hackers who steal credit card, bank and other information on the Internet – a practice known as “carding.” The officials claimed the two-year FBI sting protected more than 400,000 potential victims and prevented losses of around $205 million. The arrests “cause significant disruption to the underground economy and are a stark reminder that masked IP addresses and private forums are no sanctuary for criminals and are not beyond the reach of the FBI,” Janice Fedarcyk, head of the FBI’s New York office, said in a statement. According to a criminal complaint unsealed on Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, the suspects bought and sold hacking programs and stolen information via secure websites. In June 2010, undercover investigators set up their own website “as an online meeting place where the FBI could locate cybercriminals, investigate and identify them and disrupt their activities.” The complaint charges one alleged hacker using the name “OxideDox” with fraud. Undercover agents bought stolen data related to 15 American Express, MasterCard and Discover accounts from the defendant, the complaint said. In one instance, an undercover...

(AP) ATHENS, Greece – Greece’s new three-party coalition government won a vote of confidence in parliament early Monday, ending a period of uncertainty that led to two elections in less than two months, though the country has a long way to go to emerge from a deep recession and pay down its huge debt. There were no surprises in the vote. All 179 deputies of the three parties supporting the government — conservative New Democracy, the socialist PASOK and the moderate leftist Democratic Left — voted in favor. Voting against were the 121 deputies of the Radical Left Coalition (Syriza), the nationalist right Independent Greeks, the extreme right Golden Dawn and the Communist Party. In his concluding speech just before the vote, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said that, despite their diverse political backgrounds, the three coalition partners have a unity of purpose — to keep the country in the Eurozone and out of its deepest and longest recession, now in its fifth year. In the third quarter, the country’s GDP had its sharpest drop yet, declining 9.1 percent compared to the same period in 2011. Greece’s battered economy is forecast to shrink 6.7 percent for the whole year, far above earlier official forecasts of a 4.5 percent shrinkage. “Us three, we have admitted our past mistakes and we are now embarked in a common cause,” Samaras said, addressing the...
