ce the 1999 Columbine school
massacre, when officials huddled outside to formulate a plan while shooters
continued firing inside and a teacher bled to death without timely treatment.
Now police immediately charge in to stop the shooting as quickly as
possible; officers are trained to step over the wounded and stop the
gunman first, then tend to victims.During active shooter training last month
with the LAX police and LAPD, Los Angeles city firefighters wearing ballistic
vests and helmets dragged survivors to areas where they could provide treatment.Because
police are often the first at the scene where there are injuries,
California law requires officers receive first aid and CPR training in the
academy and regular refreshers afterward.A recent audit by Los Angeles Police
Commission Inspector General Alex Bustamante found that the LAPD had a zero
percent compliance rate. Only 250-sworn officers in the Metropolitan Division
out of the department's more than 9,900 sworn officers received the refresher
training, it states. Airport police have the training.On day-to-day crime
scenes, firefighters wait down the street until police clear the scene,
usually in minutes, and allow them in, Los Angeles County Fire Battalion
Chief Larry Collins, who's a member of a Los Angeles interagency working
group creating best practices for mass casualty incidents."When we have
an active shooter, we can't hold back a block away, we've got
to go in" because cl
Where did all the water go?Billions of years ago when the Red
Planet was young, it likely had a thick atmosphere that was warm
enough to support oceans of liquid water, a critical ingredient for life,
NASA believes. Mars today is a barren desert however -- so what
happened?NASA aims to solve a piece of that puzzle with the launch
of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, which is
set to blast off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Complex 41
on Monday, Nov. 18 at 1:28 p.m.The newest Mars explorer will study
the thinning of the planet's atmosphere and the disappearance of surface
water over time to possibly explain the discrepancy between then and now.There
are currently several competing theories to explain how Mars was stripped
of its thick atmosphere some 4 billion years ago, the space agency
said."The leading theory is that Mars lost its intrinsic magnetic field
that was protecting the atmosphere from direct erosion by the impact of
the solar wind," said Joseph Grebowsky of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
in Greenbelt, Md.The solar wind is a thin stream of electrically charged
particles or plasma blowing continuously from the sun into space at about
a million miles per hour."Studies of the remnant magnetic field distributions
measured by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor mission set the disappearance of
the planet's convection-produced global magnetic field at about 3.7 billion
years ago, leaving the Red Planet

that he was so concerned about Rizzi that even before the protest
took place, he was ready to offer to get off the plane,
rent a car and drive Rizzi and Doxy to New York. Fellow
passenger Frank Ohlhorst told WPVI-TV, which first reported the encounter,
that Rizzi wasn't being disruptive."We were like, 'Why is this happening?
He's not a problem. What is going on?'" said Ohlhorst.Landau told the
AP that crews are very familiar with the protocol for service animals,
but that the airline is reviewing how the situation was handled.Rizzi said
he later learned there had been open seats on the plane. "She
never tried to move me or anybody else to secure the aircraft
the way she said needed to be secured," Rizzi said of the
flight attendant.He told MyFoxTwinCities.com that he was grateful other
passengers supported him."When I heard those people coming off the plane
saying what they said, I felt like a million dollars and more
humble than I have ever felt in my entire life," Rizzi said.

Jan. 10, 2013 - FILE photo of parents playing with their children
at a shopping mall in Beijing. China will loosen its decades-old
one-child policy and abolish a much-criticized labor camp system, its ruling
Communist Party said. Friday,APBEIJING China will loosen its decades-old
one-child policy by allowing two children for families with one parent who
was an only child and will abolish a much-criticized labor camp system,
its ruling Communist Party said Friday.The changes were part of a key
policy document released by the official Xinhua News Agency following a
four-day meeting of party leaders through Tuesday in Beijing. The document
also seeks to map out China's economic policy for coming years.The labor
camp -- or "re-education through labor" -- system was established to punish
early critics of the Communist Party but now is used by local
officials to deal with people challenging their authority on issues including
land rights and corruption.Pu Zhiqiang, a prominent Beijing lawyer who has
represented several former labor camp detainees in seeking compensation,
welcomed the abolition of the extra-legal system."There have been many methods
used recently by this government that are against the rule of law,
and do not respect human rights, or freedom of speech, but by
abolishing the labor camps ... it makes it much harder for the
police to put these people they clamp down on into labor camps,"
Pu said."This is progress," Pu said.Chi
