| Israel-Hamas cross-border fighting renews after lull Posted: 26 Mar 2019 03:15 PM PDT  The biggest Israeli-Palestinian escalation in months, which began on Monday with the longest-range Palestinian rocket attack to cause casualties in Israel in five years, had eased after Egyptian mediation. In the wake of Palestinian rocket attacks and Israeli air strikes, Israel said it reserved the right to strike again and kept its troops and tanks massed at the Gaza frontier. The exchange was less intense than Monday's fighting.

| The quick rise and rapid fall of Michael Avenatti Posted: 26 Mar 2019 08:48 AM PDT  Stormy Daniels' lawyer made his intent to take down Trump public, but he soon went from liberal hero to alleged extortionist Stormy Daniels and Michael Avenatti in New York City on 16 April 2018. Photograph: Eduardo Munoz Alvarez/AFP/Getty Images When celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti stepped into a Manhattan federal courtroom about 6pm on Monday, he lacked the sass and razzmatazz that had secured his roles as a media darling and vociferous social media foe of Donald Trump. As usual, Avenatti sported a slate suit, crisp white shirt and powder blue tie, but his smart clothes couldn't mask the fact that his arrest hours earlier – for allegedly trying to extort more than $20m from Nike – had taken its toll on him. The one-time lawyer for the adult film actor Stormy Daniels, who claimed she was paid $130,000 by Michael Cohen to keep her alleged affair with Trump secret, was quietly led to a table by US marshals through a side door in this courtroom. Salt-and-pepper stubble on the back of Avenatti's always-shaved head was more pronounced than during his many media rounds. Avenatti's lips were pursed in what could have been a tight grin, or perhaps a mark of resignation, and his skin seemed dry. Prosecutors allege that Avenatti, who had made a splashy and very different appearance with Daniels in the same courthouse less than one year ago, threatened to reveal embarrassing information about the shoe giant, unless the company paid up. Avenatti, 48, also faces federal fraud charges in California related to alleged embezzlement from a client. The criminal complaint against Avenatti describes him as having a "large public following due to, among other things, his representation of celebrity and public figure clients, as well as frequent media appearances and use of social media". The complaint's mention of social media, along with the bombastic barrister's ill-timed missive, show how his web-fueled fame might have turned him into an Icarus of the Twitter age. A breathless biography on Avenatti's website says he "routinely appears on television and in the print media as a commentator on a range of issues and is widely considered one of the foremost trial lawyers in the nation". "Michael often works closely with the press and media in connection with his legal practice – an area in which most lawyers falter and under-utilize," the blurb also says. Avenatti recently told the Guardian that the president's alleged affair with Daniels – which Trump has denied – could bring him down. "Ultimately, he is going to be forced to resign," Avenatti said. Such pronouncements often infuriated Trump and his supporters – and delighted many liberals – and turned Avenatti into an activist lawyer seemingly determined to topple Trump (and maybe even replace him). Avenatti went so far as to describe his motivation in going after Trump by paraphrasing a question from the Watergate proceedings, saying "It's a search for the truth about what the president knew, when he knew it and what he did about it." Avenatti was feted in West Hollywood several weeks later on "Stormy Daniels Day", which aimed at celebrating the resistance against Trump, with chants of "Mi-chael! Mi-chael!" Avenatti, who races cars when he is not sparring with someone in court or on TV, even flirted with the idea of a presidential run in the Democratic race and travelled to the key early voting state of Iowa last August. While there, he addressed a crowd of activists at a high-profile political dinner and received a raucous and warm reception. "I believe that our party, the Democratic party, must be a party that fights fire with fire," he told the crowd and advocated using rough tactics against Republican opponents, saying Democrats too often had a "tendency to bring nail clippers to a gunfight". Avenatti's swift ascent started wavering soon thereafter. In October, Daniels' defamation lawsuit against Trump was thrown out. Avenatti was arrested on 14 November on suspicion of alleged domestic violence. (Prosecutors later announced that they would not pursue charges against him, according to reports.) Later in November, Daniels alleged that Avenatti filed the defamation suit against Trump "against my wishes". Daniels told the Daily Beast: "He repeatedly refused to tell me how my legal defense fund was being spent. Now he has launched a new crowdfunding campaign using my face and name without my permission and attributing words to me that I never wrote or said." A federal judge on 7 March dismissed Daniels' lawsuit, seeking to void the non-disclosure agreement she had signed that barred her from discussing Cohen's payment. Less than one week later, Daniels and Avenatti were reported to have parted ways. Then came Avenatti's federal arrest this week. As Avenatti waited for his lawyers and prosecutors to appear in the courtroom, he exuded a mildly nervous-yet-pensive energy; sometimes cupping or scratching his chin, sometimes tapping a hand against his knee. When the judge went through pro forma questions with Avenatti – did he understand his rights? did he have a copy of the complaint? – he stood and answered: "Yes, your honor, I do." Avenatti was released on a $300,000 personal recognizance bond. His travel would be limited to the New York City area and central California, and he had to turn in his US and Italian passports. After Avenatti left the courthouse at about 8.30pm, he said: "I am highly confident that when all the evidence is laid bare in connection with these cases, when it is all known, when due process occurred, that I will be fully exonerated and justice will be done." He was already back on Twitter at 3.06am, reiterating his claims against Nike and thanking his supporters.

May's temporary loss of control was followed Tuesday by a blunt warning from the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) -- the hardline Northern Irish power brokers who prop up the government.

| To kiss pope's hand - or not - enters the Catholic culture wars Posted: 26 Mar 2019 08:20 AM PDT  On Monday, when Pope Francis visited a Catholic shrine in Loreto, he repeatedly withdrew his right hand as a long line of people bowed and tried to kiss the ring on it. Rorate Caeli, a website read by Catholic traditionalists, Tweeted: "Francis, If you don't want to be the Vicar of Christ, then get out of there!" Papal biographer Austen Ivereigh, a supporter of Francis, countered by Tweeting: "He's making sure that they engage with him, not treat him like a sacred relic. Some Vatican watchers noted that even former Pope Benedict, a hero to nostalgic conservatives, and his predecessor John Paul, did not like having their hands kissed - at least not by long lines of people, for the sake of expediency.

| This website keeps track of every product and service that Google has ever killed Posted: 26 Mar 2019 01:14 PM PDT  We're still a few months away from the halfway mark of 2019, and already Google has sent some pretty high-profile products to an early grave -- products that the company had high initial hopes for, like its Inbox email service and its failed Facebook killer Google+. But this, as we all know, is really par for the course when it comes to the search giant, which has tried so many experiments over the years with products, apps and services that didn't quite work out as planned that it's ended up building quite a crowded graveyard of failed ambitions.Maybe there's even a few of those that you loved and are still frustrated with Google for killing them.To keep track of it all, one developer created an open source list called "Killed by Google" that serves as a kind of running tally of all these efforts -- everything from Google Zeitgeist to Buzz -- that the company killed early.The list is simply a rundown of all those former Google properties, listed with a tombstone icon next to them and the years they existed. "Killed by Google is a Free and Open Source list of dead Google products, services, and devices," reads some boilerplate language at the bottom of the site, which continues: "It serves to be a tribute and memorial of beloved products and services killed by Google."The Twitter account associated with the list, @killedbygoogle, notes that it's the product of Minneapolis-area developer Cody Ogden. In a blog post explaining the list's creation, he writes that the early buzzy around the project both surprised him and served as a reminder of "how much we can bond with the technology that we introduce into our lives. We grow accustomed to the apps, services, and devices we use as a part of our routine. We come to know their characteristics, their quirks, and like a relationship, it deeply affects us, even for years after they are no longer with us."As proof, he then goes on to highlight some of the comments from a Reddit post about the "Killed by Google" list which shows how much passionate support many of the products had and still enjoy:https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/b592jc/killed_by_google_a_tribute_and_log_of_beloved/ejc6jcq/https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/b592jc/killed_by_google_a_tribute_and_log_of_beloved/ejc2byd/https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/b592jc/killed_by_google_a_tribute_and_log_of_beloved/ejbwazw/
