SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
OSLO, NORWAY
The 17,000-officer police force in Puerto Rico has unnecessarily injured hundreds of people and killed numerous others, engaging in a long-standing pattern of illegal practices, the Justice Department's civil rights division said Thursday.
The department also said Puerto Rican police routinely conduct illegal searches and seizures without warrants.
"The public's demands for remedial action are fueled in part by the appalling number of officer arrests and convictions for serious misconduct and criminal activity," the report stated.
The report found that police have used "unnecessary and unreasonable" deadly force while arresting people who posed little or no harm and who did not resist.
Norwegian police on Thursday set off a replica of the car bomb that ripped through Oslo's government district on July 22 in the first of two attacks that together killed 77 people.
Police spokesman Roar Hansen said investigators built the 2,100-pound device using fertilizer found at a farm belonging to Anders Behring Breivik, an anti-Muslim extremist who has confessed to the Oslo bombing and a shooting massacre at a Labor Party island youth camp that killed 69 people.
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
The replica bomb was placed in a car at a military firing range, where it was detonated, Hansen said.
Brevik is cooperating with police and helping them reconstruct how he carried out the attacks.
"The purpose was to measure the impact of such an explosion," he added.
The elfin child with the big personality and bright smile calls herself "the first lady" and dreams of the future.
Do doctors say 12-year-old Ontlametse Phalatse has only another couple of years to live.
"I call myself a first lady because I'm the first black child with this disease ... Which other black child do you know with this disease?" she challenged.

Ontaletme is the first black child diagnosed with progeria, a rare and fatal genetic condition that accelerates the aging process, the Progeria Research Foundation said.
In a two-year campaign to identify how many kids in the world have it, the Progeria Research Foundation says the number of children diagnosed around the world soared from 48 to 80 on five continents.
President Dmtry Medvedev called for immediate changes in Russia's troubled aviation industry Thursday — including sharply reducing the number of airlines — as the country mourned a crash that killed 43 people and devastated a top ice hockey team.
The crash Wednesday killed 36 players, coaches and staff of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team, including European and former NHL players, drawing new attention to the poor air safety records of Russia and other former Soviet republics.

Experts blame the problems on an aging fleet, weak government controls, poor pilot training and a cost-cutting mentality.
The crash is one of the worst aviation disasters in sports history.

Humanitarian Bowl. Last week in their opener, they put up 49 points against Army, a touchdown more than Kansas scored against FCS opponent McNeese State. Its top two running backs each averaged 9.9 and 7.3 yards per carry, and their quarterback, senior Chandler Harnish, threw for five touchdowns. So yeah, Northern Illinois is good. Good enough for Vegas oddskmers to make them nearly a touchdown favorite in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Kansas football is still a year or two away from doing any kind of damage in whatever conference it will be in, but a 2-0 start that includes an early upset could do wonders for a young team looking to firmly remove that rearview mirror from its perch.

sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb averaged more than 20 yards a completion, including three touchdown passes that were all more than 25 yards.
"I think the other thing that's going to be important for us is making sure that we have a 2-to-1 ratio when it comes to big plays," Gill said. "I'm talking about 20 yards or more that we need to be 2-to-1 ratio as far as our big plays in our favor versus them with the plus 20 yards."
Coach Turner Gill and his staff would like to see a similar effort from their team this Saturday against Northern Illinois.
Kansas ran the same amount of plays as McNeese State on Saturday, had the ball for nearly ten minutes less, and scored 18 more points than its opponent.

Offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the big plays that were present Saturday were missing from the offense last season.

opened the second possession with a 30-yard run. The freshmen running backs added playm ening capabilities as well. Darriam Miller averaged 4.8 yards a carry and Tony Pierson averaged 14.6 yards a carry.
"We feel like we have a running game that is built for explosive plays," Webb said. "We can get the 70 and 60 yarders out of the running game just as easy as the passing game."
Event though the run-game is full of playmakers, the receivers are without one of their top players. Senior Daymond

The newfound, ground-heavy attack is far away from the spread offense Mark Mangino ran, but that doesn't mean that a more balanced style won't provide just as many opposing defense-killing, scoring opportunities.
Freshman receiver JaCorey Shepherd, who caught three passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns in his Kansas debut, will replace Patterson with his 4.5 speed.

"When you look at steady offenses like that in the past, they are traditionally run-play action pass teams and a lot of times they get open," receivers coach David Beaty said. "They don't have a whole lot of passes in the game, but a lot of times they count for big points. That's the direction our offense is headed in."
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb hands the ball to freshman running back Darian Miller. "We did exactly what we wanted to do. We ran the ball and as quartbacks and receivers we made the plays that we needed to and that's the team we need to be." Webb said.
