UN Security Council strongly condemns Turkey bombings

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council on Monday strongly condemned deadly weekend car bombings in Turkey, saying it was crucial "to bring perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice."

Two car bombs ripped through crowded shopping streets in the Turkish border town of Reyhanli on Saturday, killing 50 people and increasing fears that Syria's civil war is dragging in neighboring states, despite renewed diplomatic moves to end it.

The 15-member Security Council urged all states to cooperate with Turkish authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. Turkey said it has arrested nine people, all Turkish citizens and including the alleged mastermind of the attacks.

Turkey, which is home to some 400,000 Syrian refugees from the conflict, blamed the bombings on a group with direct links to Syrian intelligence. Damascus has denied any involvement.

In a statement, the Security Council said, "Any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed."

A dispute between Russia, a close ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and the United States over how to end Syria's two-year war has left the Security Council paralyzed to act.

Russia has been backing and arming Assad, while the United States and Europe have supported the opposition with what they say is non-lethal aid and called for Assad's departure.

While Russia and China have vetoed three resolutions condemning Assad's government, the council has occasionally condemned violent attacks in Syria. In its statement on the bombings in Turkey on Monday, the council was careful not to assign blame to either side in the conflict.

A Syrian opposition group says the toll from two years of civil war had risen to at least 82,000 dead and 12,500 missing. Five million people have fled their homes, including 1.4 million refugees in nearby countries, the United Nations says.

Fears grow over deadly new virus

12 May 2013 Last updated at 10:35 ET

The World Health Organization says it appears likely that the novel coronavirus (NCoV) can be passed between people in close contact.

This comes after the French health ministry confirmed a second man had contracted the virus in a possible case of human-to-human transmission.

Two more people in Saudi Arabia are also reported to have died from the virus, according to health officials.

NCoV is known to cause pneumonia and sometimes kidney failure.

World Health Organization (WHO) officials have expressed concern over the clusters of cases of the new coronavirus strain and the potential for it to spread.

Since 2012, there have been 33 confirmed cases across Europe and the Middle East, with 18 deaths, according to a recent WHO update.

Cases have been detected in Saudi Arabia and Jordan and have spread to Germany, the UK and France.

"Of most concern... is the fact that the different clusters seen in multiple countries increasingly support the hypothesis that when there is close contact this novel coronavirus can transmit from person to person," the World Health Organization said on Sunday.

"This pattern of person-to-person transmission has remained limited to some small clusters and so far, there is no evidence to suggest the virus has the capacity to sustain generalised transmission in communities," the statement adds.

NCoV cases to date

• Since September 2012, 33 confirmed cases of human infection with NCoV
• 18 confirmed deaths
• Since May 2013, 15 reported deaths in Saudi Arabia, with nine in most recent outbreak
• Two cases confirmed in each of Jordan, Qatar, the UK, France and one from the UAE
• Most patients are male and within an age range of 24 to 94 years

France's second confirmed case was a 50-year-old man who had shared a hospital room in Valenciennes, northern France, with a 65-year-old who fell ill with the virus after returning from Dubai.

"Positive results [for the virus] have been confirmed for both patients," the French health ministry said, adding that both men were being treated in isolation wards.

Meanwhile, the Saudi deputy minister of health said on Sunday that two more people had died from the coronavirus, bringing the number of fatalities to nine in the al-Ahsa governorate in the east of Saudi Arabia, Reuters news agency reports.

WHO officials have not yet confirmed the latest deaths.

In February, a patient died in a hospital in Birmingham, England, after three members of the same family became infected.

It is thought a family member had picked up the virus while travelling to the Middle East and Pakistan.

Novel coronavirus is from the same family of viruses as the one that caused an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (Sars) that emerged in Asia in 2003.

However, NCoV and Sars are distinct from each other, the WHO said in its statement on Sunday.

Coronavirus is known to cause respiratory infections in both humans and animals.

But it is not yet clear whether it is a mutation of an existing virus or an infection in animals that has made the jump to humans.

Google Play Games reportedly leaked, new home for ... - bit-tech.net

Google Play Games could be the new cloud-home for Android gaming

Google appears to be preparing to release a central hub for games on Android, after a leaked build showed a new service called Google Play Games.

The new service appears to be a cloud-based central store for all things gaming on Android, in the same vein as Xbox Live or iOS Game Center. The leaked software makes reference to game achievements and cloud-save syncing, ensuring your games will be always up to date, no matter what device you're using.

It also mentions in-game chat, matchmaking and leaderboards, along with deep integration of Google+ for achievement sharing and user identification. The build even shows the new green controller-shaped icon for the service.

The software was obtained by Android Police and they note that the leak ties-in with previously leaked information that came from the Google Glass companion app.

Google I/O
Google's annual developer conference, Google I/O, starts on 15th May so it's a fair bet if Google Play Games is real it will be officially unveiled there.

Weather outside gets wetter as basketball players inside Rec Center ...

JACKSONVILLE ? Numerous residents flocked to the newly re-christened Stacy Hunter Recreation Center to play basketball Thursday as the downpour of rain continued to increase outside.

Thursday's rains were the result of scattered thunderstorms that produced gusty winds and heavy rain, the National Weather Service reported.

As many as 25 residents made it to the center Thursday. On Tuesday and Wednesday as many as 15 showed, said Will Cole, the city's director of public works.

?This is all word of mouth,? Cole said indicating the crowd of players. ?We haven't even started advertising yet.?

On display for the residents was the newer, brighter tan-ish colors of the gym, which replaced a dark green hue.

?It looks like a gym now,? Cole said.

Toward the end of the day Thursday, the residents continued a hard-played round of basketball as the frenzy of rain downpour outside also continued to increase. ?

In terms of rain today, there is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms while there is a 40 percent chance for tonight.

Today is expected to stay mostly cloudy with a high near 79 and a low about 63, the National Weather Service reported.

On Saturday expect a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1 p.m., records show. It is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high near 78 and a low around 59.

Sunday should be mostly sunny with a? high near 79 and a low around 55, the weather service reported.

Back in the center Thursday, Cole estimated the amount of people there will only increase once the city moves a computer indoors.

As many as 100 people attended Monday's dedication of the center, made in honor of Stacy D. Hunter, a beloved coach and mentor who was slain in October.
