KALISPELL, Mont. — Rescue teams at Glacier National Park searched in wintery conditions and rugged terrain Sunday for two East Coast hikers reported missing by family members.
Park officials said 50 searchers were looking for 32-year-old Neal Peckens of Virginia and 32-year-old Jason Hiser of Maryland. Hometowns weren’t available.
BALTIMORE — Eight yards deep in the end zone when he caught the kickoff, Jacoby Jones had an instant to decide: take a knee or run.
He ran – all the way into the record book.
CLEVELAND — On the verge of changing owners, the Cleveland Browns got something else new – a win.
Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes and the Browns snapped an 11-game losing streak going back to last November, beating the Cincinnati Bengals 34-24 Sunday.
KHIMKI, Russia — President Vladimir Putin’s loyalists appeared likely Sunday to retain their hold in thousands of local elections that offered slightly more room for competition, but were marred by opposition claims of widespread vote fraud.
The Kremlin eased stiff election laws in response to major protests against Putin’s rule last winter, but introduced new restrictions after the demonstrations abated. Kremlin-approved governors and most of the incumbent mayors appeared poised to preserve their seats and the Kremlin’s main United Russia party will likely keep dominating local legislatures and municipal councils.
DUBAI, Oct 14 (Reuters) – The United Arab Emirates has dispatched a medical team to evacuate a Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban if doctors decide she should be taken abroad for treatment, a UAE news agency reported on Sunday.
The WAM state news agency said the team would evaluate the condition of education campaigner Malala Yousufzai and facilitate her transfer to a hospital outside Pakistan.
Fourteen-year-old Yousufzai was leaving school in her hometown in the Swat Valley in northwest Pakistan when she was shot in the head and neck by the Taliban for speaking out against the militants and promoting education for girls.
A spokesman for the Pakistani embassy in the UAE told Reuters the UAE had sent an air ambulance to Pakistan, but a decision on whether she would be transferred out of the country had not been taken.
Yousufzai, whose shooting has drawn condemnation from world leaders, was being treated at a military hospital in Rawalpindi.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Said the attack must be “universally denounced.”
“The attempt on Malala’s life was not only an attack on a defenseless child, it was an attack on her and every girl’s right to a future unlimited by prejudice and oppression,” he said, according to WAM. “We must all stand with Malala in promoting tolerance and respect.”
The shooting has outraged people in Pakistan, a country seemingly inured to extreme violence since a surge in Islamist militancy began after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. (Reporting by Mahmoud Habboush and Praveen Menon; Editing by Rosalind Russell)

A while back I came across a Pac-Man-themed bathroom that was pretty great. But since it was a commercial establishment, it had no shower. But if that inspired you to make your own Pac-Man bathroom at home, you should definitely consider a Pac-Man shower curtain to start things off.
This hand-painted curtain was made by geeky crafter Holly, and I have to say it looks great. It’s got the full maze, plenty of power pills and of course Pac-Man and his ghostly nemeses. Sure, the power pills and the regular dots are erroneously the same size, but we’ll forgive her. Right? Right?
This design first appeared a couple of years ago over on CraftNerdy, and everything you need to know to make your own appears on the original blog post here.

Who doesn’t love bacon and cheese together? Yeah, it’s not exactly the healthiest of food combinations, but it sure is tasty. So if you’re interested in cutting right to the chase, and don’t want to be bothered with that pesky bread, lettuce or tomato, then here’s an idea for you…
What you’re looking at is the epic Bacon Weave grilled cheese sandwich. The guys over at DudeFoods created this low-carb, but artery-clogging wonder by carefully weaving a grid of crispy bacon together in place of toast. In the middle – a layer of melty american cheese. Et voilà! Perfection. The trick to the sandwich is pre-cooking the bacon and getting it crispy before nuking the layer of cheese in the middle.
Sure, holding bacon in your hands like this will probably leave your fingers pretty greasy, but that’s more for you (or more likely your dog) to lick off later.
