And that downward slide picked up steam on Thursday, sending the three major U.S. stock indices way, way lower.

Why Is a Rare Carved Column From ‘Biblical Times’ Being Kept Quiet?
Earlier this year, a tour guide discovered a carved column in the old city of Jerusalem, but little has been reported about the treasure that experts say dates back to biblical time and could actually be part of a whole temple or place buried below. ...The Jewish Press, which first reported on the find in April, wrote that political reasons could be to blame, citing Israeli authorities as “trying to silence this discovery”.

Singapore haze: Indonesia to make it rain to stop 'life threatening' smog

Government could use metadata to map your every move
If you tweet a picture from your living room using your smartphone, you’re sharing far more than your new hairdo or the color of the wallpaper.

Federal nullification efforts mounting in states
The Missouri legislation is perhaps the most extreme example of a states' rights movement that has been spreading across the nation. States are increasingly adopting laws that purport to nullify federal laws — setting up intentional legal conflicts, directing local police not to enforce federal laws and, in rare cases, even threatening criminal charges for federal agents who dare to do their jobs.

Spain arrests 'Syria jihadist suspects' in Ceuta
Eight people have been arrested in the Spanish territory of Ceuta on suspicion of recruiting jihadist fighters to go to Syria and elsewhere, police say.

EU-Turkey relations on edge after Germany blocks talks
Turkey has reacted angrily to Germany's hesitation on restarting EU entry talks. The talks were to resume on Wednesday (26 June), with the opening of a chapter on regions, after negotiations broke off in late 2010. But Germany's EU ambassador at a meeting in Brussels on Thursday said he is not willing to give the green light.

Immortality by 2035?
How's this for a weekend conference: Some of the smartest people in the world are gathering in New York to try to figure out how to build lifelike copies of humans ... to be eventually uploaded with the contents of a real human brain. It's the brainchild of a Russian multimillionaire, Dmitry Itskov. ... And he says he's perfectly serious, and that it could be accomplished by 2035.
