(AP) ? Workers at the small machinery company had just returned for their first shift following Italy's powerful and deadly quake earlier this month when another one struck, collapsing the roof.

At least three employees at the factory ? two immigrants and an Italian engineer checking the building's stability ? were among those killed Tuesday in the second deadly quake in nine days to strike a region of Italy that hadn't considered itself particularly quake prone.

By late Tuesday, the death toll stood at 16, with one person missing : a worker at the machinery factory in the small town of San Felice Sul Panaro. Some 350 people also were injured in the 5.8 magnitude quake north of Bologna in Emilia Romagna, one of Italy's more productive agricultural and industrial regions. Originally government officials had put the death toll at 17, and there was no immediately explanation for the lowered figure.

The injured included a 65-year-old woman who was pulled out alive by rescuers after lying for 12 hours in the rubble of her apartment's kitchen in Cavezzo, another town hard hit by the quake. Firefighters told Sky TG24 TV that a piece of furniture, which had toppled over, saved her from being crushed by the wreckage. She was taken to a hospital for treatment.

The building had been damaged in the first quake, on May 20, and had been vacant since. The woman had just gone back inside it Tuesday morning to retrieve some clothes when the latest temblor knocked down the building, firefighters said.

Factories, barns and churches fell, dealing a second blow to a region where thousands remained homeless from the May 20 temblor, much stronger in intensity, at 6.0 magnitude.

The two quakes struck one of the most productive regions in Italy at a particularly crucial moment, as the country faces enormous pressure to grow its economy to stave off the continent's debt crisis. Italy's economic growth has been stagnant for at least a decade, and the national economy is forecast to contract by 1.2 percent this year.

The area encompassing the cities of Modena, Mantua and Bologna is prized for its super car production, churning out Ferraris, Maseratis and Lamborghinis; its world-famous Parmesan cheese, and less well-known but critical to the economy ? its machinery companies.

Like the May 20 quake, many of the dead in Tuesday's temblor were workers inside huge warehouses, many of them prefabricated, that house factories. Inspectors have been determining which are safe to re-enter, but economic pressure has sped up renewed production ? perhaps prematurely.

Seven people were killed in the May 20 quake. In both, the dead were largely and disproportionately workers killed by collapsing factories and warehouses.

Co-workers of Mohamed Azeris, a Moroccan immigrant and father of two who died in the just-reopened factory, claim he was forced back to work as a shift supervisor or faced losing his job. A local union representative had demanded an investigation.

"Another earthquake ? unfortunately during the day ? that means people were inside working, so I think that an investigation will need to be opened here to check who cleared as safe these companies to understand who's responsible for this," Erminio Veronesi told The Associated Press.

At another factory closer to the epicenter in the city of Medolla, rescue crews searched for three workers who did not turn up at roll call after the quake and were presumed dead.

Premier Mario Monti, tapped to steer the country from financial ruin in November, pledged that the government would quickly provide help to the area "that is so special, so important and so productive for Italy."

The Coldiretti farm lobby said damage to the agricultural industry, including Parmesan makers whose aging wheels of cheese already suffered in the first quake, had risen to ?500 million ($626 million) with the second hit. The Modena Chamber of Commerce estimated that the first quake alone had cost businesses ?1.5 billion, with no fresh estimates immediately available.

Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini, all centered around Modena, reported no damage, and said workers were evacuated and then allowed to go home to check on their homes and families. Lamborghini planned to keep production halted on Wednesday.

The quake was felt from Piedmont in northwestern Italy to Venice in the northeast and as far north as Austria. Dozens of aftershocks hit the area, some registering more than 5.0 in magnitude.

The temblor terrified many of the thousands of people who have been living in tents or cars since the May 20 quake and created a whole new wave of homeless.

"I was shaving and I ran out very fast, half dressed," a resident of Sant'Agostino, one of the towns devastated in the quake earlier this month, told AP Television News.

Tuesday's quake struck just after 9 a.m. with an epicenter 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Bologna, according to the U.S. Geological Survey ? just several kilometers (miles) away from where the 6.0-magnitude quake that killed seven people on May 20 was centered.

In the town of Mirandola, near the epicenter, the church of San Francesco crumbled, leaving only its facade standing. The main cathedral also collapsed. Sant'Agostino's town hall, so badly damaged in the May 20 quake that it looked as if it had been bombed, virtually fell apart when the latest deadly temblor struck.

Labor Minister Elsa Fornero suggested the destruction to buildings was out of proportion, considering the magnitude of the quake. "It is natural that the earth shakes. But it is not natural that buildings collapse," Fornero told lawmakers in Parliament's lower Chamber of Deputies.

The May 20 quake was described by Italian emergency officials as the worst to hit the region since the 1300s. In addition to the deaths, it knocked down a clock tower and other centuries-old buildings. Its epicenter was about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of Bologna.

Tuesday's earthquake and strong aftershocks from the May 20 temblor are not surprising or unexpected, said Harley Benz, scientist in charge of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center.

"This is an area that is known to have earthquakes," Benz said. The earthquakes aren't as powerful and not as recent as those that circle the Pacific Ocean in the famed "ring of fire," but they are still active over the years. The region around Bologna has had at least five previous significant earthquakes between 5.3 and 6.8 magnitudes in the past 550 years, most recently in 1929 with a series of quakes, he said.

Residents had just been taking tentative steps toward resuming normal life when Tuesday's quake struck. In Sant'Agostino, a daycare center had just reopened. In the town of Concordia, the mayor had scheduled a town meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the aftermath of the first quake. Instead, Mayor Carlo Marchini confirmed the death of one person struck by falling debris in the town's historic center.

Italy's soccer match against Luxembourg, a warm-up for the Euro 2012 championships, was canceled. The game had been scheduled to be played Tuesday in Parma, just 60 kilometers (40 miles) west of the quake.

Did Animal Planet mermaid show fool you?

Animal Planet

An image from "Mermaids: The Body Found."

By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper

If you were unnerved over the holiday weekend by Animal Planet's special "Mermaids: The Body Found," take a deep breath. It's OK to go back in the water again, and you?can quit eyeing your copy of?"The Little Mermaid" suspiciously.

The two-hour program is fiction, but it's presented in documentary style, with actors playing scientists who claim to have found the body of a mermaid on a Washington state beach.

The channel admits?this in a press release about the special, saying "the film is science fiction, using science as a springboard into imagination."

But that didn't stop?some from being sucked in and believing what they saw.

Urban legends site Snopes.com added the "Mermaids" hoax to its site on Tuesday. The site began its posting?by quoting an email reading, in part,?"In this documentary they showed a video that was taken from a boy's phone on the beach it shows a live mermaid. Now my father and I would like to know if this video is real. I don't like to say that we are suckers to everything we hear, but I am open to new ideas."

Snopes.com creators Barbara and David P. Mikkelson quickly debunk the hoax, pointing out that "the program was not fact but rather speculative science fiction, and it included obvious CGI-produced video sequences."

The site also noted a tie-in website, believeinmermaids.com, which features a fake message claiming that the site has been seized by the U.S. Department of Justice and Homeland Security.

Others were in on the joke from the start. Tweeted Green Bay Packer Tom Crabtree, "If you believed one second of the Animal Planet's 'Mermaids' show, then turn around because Sasquatch is standing behind you."

Animal Planet

"Mermaids: The Body Found" will air again June 17.

The program aired in Australia in 2011, and the hoax was thoroughly debunked at the time by columnists there. Brad Newsome of The Sydney Morning Herald wrote at the time, "The version that I saw doesn't even do viewers the courtesy of admitting that it's fake until the credits are about to roll," and dismissed the "aquatic ape" theory, a real hypothesis first proposed in 1942 and?presented in the show, as "rather fringe." He also wrote, "People love that sort of stuff, I get it. But it belongs on more tabloid channels that don't have any pretensions of scientific or historical credibility."

"Mermaids: The Body Found" will air again on June 17 on Animal Planet.

Did you see the show? Did it seem realistic, or do you know anyone who believed it? Tell us what you think on Facebook.

What did you think of the mermaid special?

Consumer confidence plunges in May

CNBC's Rick Santelli breaks down the data on May's decline in consumer confidence at 64.9 versus 68.7 in April.

By msnbc.com news services

Americans' confidence in the economy in May had its biggest drop in eight months as consumers fretted about slow hiring, a big stock market drop and the global economy, says a private research group.

The Conference Board says its Consumer Confidence Index now stands at 64.9, down from a revised 68.7 in April. It was the biggest drop since October 2011.

Consumers? appraisal of present-day conditions deteriorated in May. Those claiming business conditions are "bad" increased to 34.3 percent from 33.2 percent, while those saying business conditions are "good" decreased to 13.6 percent from 15.5 percent.

"Consumers were less positive about current business and labor market conditions, and they were more pessimistic about the short-term outlook," said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at The Conference Board. "However, consumers were more upbeat about their income prospects, which should help sustain spending."

Economists were expecting a reading of 70, according to a FactSet poll of analysts. The current level is below February's 71.6, which is the highest level it's been in a year.

Consumer confidence is widely watched because consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. The measure is significantly below the 90 reading that indicates a healthy economy. But the current level is well above the 40 it hit last October.

But the latest reading is expected to be well above the 40 figure reached last October and the all-time low of 25.3 in February 2009.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

IT IS that time of year again, when people in the northern hemisphere dig out their tents and take to the festival fields. As usual the music line-ups look amazing, but what about the science?

Things kick off in the UK with the Isle of Wight Festival (21-24 June), where the times between sets, including one from headliners Pearl Jam, will be a hive of activity promoting all things apian, thanks to the return of the Let it Bee campaign, launched with help from former Beatle Paul McCartney.

To keep visitors laughing at Latitude (12-15 July) in Southwold, Suffolk, the public face of particle physics Brian Cox will be on stage at the Comedy Arena.

If you fancy something more confrontational, comedian and physicist Steve Mould and chemist Andrea Sella will be at the Secret Garden Party (19-22 July) in Cambridgeshire, playing on old rivalries in a science showdown. Then, to unwind after all the excitement, you can plan a stellar holiday at the Intergalactic Travel Bureau.

After an impressive launch in 2011, Wilderness (10-12 August) returns to Oxfordshire with talks by public astronomer for the Royal Observatory, Marek Kukula, and polar explorer Ann Daniels, as well as ecological stand-up from hedgehog aficionado Hugh Warwick. The inimitable Guerilla Science will be on hand, too, to turn your clothes into musical instruments, while at the Shambala Festival (23-27 August) in Northamptonshire, the group's anatomical artists will acquaint people with their innards by painting them on exposed skin.

If you're at Green Man (17-19 August) in Glanusk Park, Powys, go to Einstein's Garden to explore the world of energy. And as a bonus, the Unlimited Space Agency is running astronaut training sessions in collaboration with former European Space Agency instructor Gail Iles and NASA consultant Alex Salam.

Elsewhere in Europe, in addition to its usual environmental activities, the ?ya Festival (7-11 August) in Oslo, Norway, features Bj?rk, who will treat festivalgoers to her spectacular science-themed show Biophilia.

Meanwhile, across the pond, the NXNE (11-17 June) in Toronto, Canada, tops a packed schedule of digital workshops with a performance by sci-fi songsters The Flaming Lips. Due south, on the Hudson river in New York, the Clearwater Festival (16-17 June) will host a Green Living Expo, while Ani Di Franco serenades revellers.

And if your appetite is still not satisfied by the end of the season, head to Bumbershoot (1-3 September) in Seattle, where you can tantalise your tastebuds with science-inspired cuisine from The Cooking Lab.

GOP: Obama "demonizes" domestic energy

(CBS News) This Memorial Day, both President Obama and the Republicans dedicated their weekly address to American service members; however, the Republican address (in video above) focused mostly on their plan for the economy.

Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.), who represents Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, said the "blessing of liberty" should be honored. "That is why helping to create jobs and grow our economy will continue to be Republicans' focus in the weeks and months ahead."

The two-term member of Congress said the Republican plan for economic growth "emphasizes long-term growth" and not "short-term stimulus."

Central to the Republican's economic plan is developing American oil and gas production, including the construction of the XL Keystone pipeline.

"The President demonizes home grown energy and pursues tax policies that advantage foreign energy over domestic," Jenkins said.

Meanwhile in his short weekly address (in video below),?President Obama said the U.S. needs to "serve" service members who return home with healthcare and access to education.

"We have to serve them and their families as well as they have served us: by making sure that they get the healthcare and benefits they need; by caring for our wounded warriors and supporting our military families; and by giving veterans the chance to go to college, find a good job, and enjoy the freedom that they risked everything to protect," the president said.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama are spending Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery and with Vietnam veterans at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to mark the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.

Browser wars flare in mobile space

The browser wars are heating up again, but this time the fight is for dominance of the mobile Internet.

Google, Apple, Microsoft and Yahoo! are all in the struggle, along with the Norwegian-made Opera browser and the open source Firefox software from Mozilla.

The motive behind the wars is not just bragging rights. The company that controls the mobile Web can direct users to its websites, and importantly, gather data that can be used in targeted advertising.

"The browsers need to be present on the mobile device for survival," said Greg Sterling, an analyst with Opus Research.

"Everyone is trying to manage their strategy in this multiscreen and multiplatform world."

Research firm StatCounter found that global access from mobile devices, not including tablets, doubled in the year to January to 8.5 percent of all Internet usage.

Google stepped up its effort earlier this year by releasing a full version of its Chrome browser for mobile devices, which will over time replace the unnamed browser on devices powered by Google's open Android platform.

The Google-Android browser by April had grabbed 21.5 percent of the mobile Web, overtaking Opera, the early leader that had 21.3 percent, according to StatCounter.

"Chrome is definitely the up-and-comer because of Android, and it has a lot of momentum on the PC," Sterling said.

Running third was Apple's Safari, the default browser on iPhones, with 20 percent. Nokia, BlackBerry and a few others hold small shares.

When tablets are included, Apple is the dominant player with 63 percent, according to data from Net Applications' NetMarketShare survey, but Android is gaining with nearly 19 percent.

The push by Google meshes with its strategy of gathering information about users across platforms, so that someone searching on a mobile device might get an ad on a PC, or vice-versa.

And Google just completed its $12.5 billion deal to buy mobile phone maker Motorola Mobility, freeing the California company to build its own handsets that play into the strengths of its software.

"Everybody wants to have that first point of contact with the user to control the experience from that point, capture certain data and direct them to services," said Al Hilwa of the research firm IDC.

"It's all about control, about who is further up on the stream of data."

Meanwhile Microsoft, in its effort to get a share of the mobile space, is pushing its own Internet Explorer browser for devices running Windows, but critics say the software giant is limiting compatibility.

Mozilla's Harvey Anderson complained in a blog post that Microsoft is limiting the "advanced" capabilities for outside software, effectively shutting out browsers like Firefox.

Anderson said Microsoft in its new Windows 8 devices was signaling "an unwelcome return to the digital dark ages where users and developers didn't have browser choices."

Yahoo! became the latest to boost its effort in the mobile space, introducing its Axis browser designed for mobile devices.

"It is meant to replace Safari," Yahoo! product management director Ethan Batraski said of Axis. "You will never have to use Safari ever again."

Ben Schachter, an analyst at Macquarie Capital who follows Google, said the Internet search giant will also introduce a version of Chrome for the Apple operating system.

Schachter said in a note to clients that Google benefits from Chrome by reducing the payments from "traffic acquisition costs" and that a Chrome browser for iPhones and iPads could "meaningfully" reduce what Google pays Apple.

But Apple can tweak its strategy without competing head-on against Google, Sterling said. He said Apple's Siri voice assistant and its new maps software offer a type of search. And as tensions rise with Google, it could change the Safari search engine to Microsoft's Bing, or another.

Analysts say it remains unclear to what degree device makers will try to block out competing browsers, and if this will trigger a government response. In the 1990s, Microsoft's efforts to lock out competing browsers prompted actions on both sides of the Atlantic.

The battle for control of the mobile Web raises questions about Facebook, which is groping for a mobile strategy after a troubling response to its massive share offering.

One report said Facebook was eyeing Opera, which could solve some of the perceived problems for the social network giant by offering a platform to get better data on mobile usage for targeted advertising.

"It wouldn't surprise me" if Facebook were to acquire or tie up with Opera or develop its own browser, Hilwa said.

Another player to watch, said Hilwa, is Amazon, which has developed its own browser for the Kindle Internet device -- a move that can also steer users various services, earning cash along the way.

Hilwa said Amazon, like the others, is pursuing a strategy that includes hardware and software, but can also sell goods and services.

"They have content, they sell stuff, they have Web services," he said. "They have a lot of assets and have been successful. I would watch them."

The boys are with family members as the fire is being investigated.

Divorce Attorney Montgomery County - Personal Injury Law - Fox ...

Last updated 1 day ago

Accidents happen all the time?however, if you suffer a personal injury due to downright carelessness of a third party, then you may be entitled to compensation and have the right to file a claim. If you want to file a claim, contact a?personal injury lawyer?to help you through the process. This article will explore the concept of?negligence?and the role it plays in personal injury law.?

  • What is negligence in a legal context??
    Negligence is from the Latin word?neglegere,?which literally means ?not to pick up.? Negligence doesn?t refer to intentional or specific harm, but rather carelessness that leads to a person getting hurt or even dying. For example, if a business allows clearly unsafe conditions to exist on its property, then that business is negligent and is responsible for any injuries incurred.???
    ?
  • When is negligence applicable?
    If a surgeon operates on the wrong?part of the body, then he is being negligent. Negligence is not applicable, however, if a surgeon performs a patient-approved, high-risk surgery that fails. Negligence is only a factor when there has been an error that could have been easily avoided. This applies to car accidents, dog bites, slip and fall injuries, and nearly any other time someone exercises carelessness.
    ?
  • What should you do if someone is negligent??
    If you or a loved one has become the victim of someone?s negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury claim. You should hire a personal injury lawyer immediately to lay out your case and present the guilty party with proof of carelessness. Most of the time, the guilty party will see that you have a good case and will?settle out of court. If not, then the case will go to trial and be settled by a judge or jury.

If your life is no longer the same because of someone?s careless mistake, then you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Fox and Fox Attorneys at Law?our?Montgomery County?personal injury lawyers?will be happy to review your case and recommend the next course of action.

No EU trademark for chocolate rabbit, says court

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-18198110#

No EU trademark for chocolate rabbit, says court

A Swiss-made chocolate bunny, wrapped in gold foil and with a red ribbon around its neck, cannot be registered as a trademark, the EU court has ruled.

Lindt and Spruengli have made the rabbit since 1952 and applied for an EU trademark in 2004.

But other firms make Easter chocolate bunnies too and an Austrian company has even wrapped them in gold foil.

Now the European Court has confirmed an earlier ruling that Lindt?s rabbit is devoid of any distinctive character.

Lindt appealed against the initial ruling, arguing that it had built a trademark over a long period and wanted to protect what had become a strong brand.

In making its initial judgement in 2010, the EU?s second-highest court ? the General Court ? examined the shape of the rabbit, the gold foil and the pleated red ribbon to which a small bell was attached.

It decided that ?the combination of the shape, the colours and the pleated ribbon with a small bell are not sufficiently different? from the wrapping of other chocolate products, specifically rabbits.

Lindt disputed its findings, arguing that only three such products were on the market and that its own chocolate bunny was registered in as many as 15 EU states.

Last year, Lindt successfully persuaded an Austrian court to stop rival chocolate-maker Hauswirth manufacturing Easter bunnies that resembled the Lindt product.

But the European Court of Justice, in its judgement on Thursday, decided that the Swiss chocolate maker had ?failed to establish that the mark has inherent distinctive character and that that was the case throughout the European Union?.

Engineer Guy shows how a phone accelerometer works, knows what's up and sideways (video)

Image

We love finding out how things work, and arguably one of the most important parts of the smartphones and tablets we thrive on is the accelerometer gauging our device's orientation. Imagine our delight, then, when we see the University of Illinois' Bill Hammack (i.e. The Engineer Guy) giving a visual rundown of how accelerometers work. Although it's certainly the Cliff's Notes version of what's going on in your Android phone or iPhone, the video does a great job of explaining the basic concepts behind three-axis motion sensing and goes on to illustrate how MEMS chips boil the idea down to the silicon form that's needed for our mobile hardware. Hammack contends that it's one of the coolest (and unsung) parts of a smartphone, and we'd definitely agree; you can see why in the clip after the break.
