Life on Los Angeles' 'Skid Row' (21 photos)
If you don't live in Los Angeles and you think you know what LA's Skid Row is like, think again. Nothing anywhere else in America compares. San Francisco's Tenderloin is tiny. Seattle's once-dreary Skid Row is dotted with galleries and cafes. And the Bowery in New York is now home to the New Museum of Contemporary Art and a sprawling Whole Foods complete with its own craft-beer emporium. In Downtown LA, however, as many as 54 blocks—between Third Street and Seventh Street, from Alameda to Main—are almost entirely given over to the homeless, the limbless, the drug-addicted, and the mentally ill. Battered tents line the boulevards. Mountains of garbage block the sidewalks. The air smells like urine, feces, and burning crack. And everywhere there are people—dazed, disheveled, disabled; stretched out on lawn chairs or sprawled on the pavement; some scoring heroin from marked tents, others injecting it between their toes in plain sight. LA's Skid Row is a systemic, festering problem that devastates more Angelenos, day in and day out, than sporadic police shootings ever could. (Andrew Romano/Yahoo News) Here's a look.

Exclusive: Obama sharply criticizes China's plans for new technology rules
By Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Monday sharply criticized China's plans for new rules on U.S. tech companies, urging Beijing to change the policy if it wants to do business with the United States and saying he had raised it with President Xi Jinping. In an interview with Reuters, Obama said he was concerned about Beijing's plans for a far-reaching counterterrorism law that would require technology firms to hand over encryption keys, the passcodes that help protect data, and install security "backdoors" in their systems to give Chinese authorities surveillance access. "This is something that I’ve raised directly with President Xi," Obama said. "We have made it very clear to them that this is something they are going to have to change if they are to do business with the United States." The Chinese government sees the rules as crucial to protect state and business secrets.

5 Things to Consider Doing When Your Credit Score Hits 740
1. Apply for a better credit card. If you've been drooling over one of the hot new credit cards on the market, especially the ones offering primo rewards, now might be the time to apply.

Custom Rolls Royce V8 pickup conversion (9 photos)
While the world waits for the first Rolls Royce SUV, you can fork over $75,000 for this custom flatbed Rolls, based on a '60s Silver Shadow. Built on a one-ton GM truck frame with a dually axle, it has a Rolls sedan body plopped ontop. Not much of the luxury sedan's internals remain, as its powered by a Chevy 350 V8.

New Bombardier jet – Boeing's first non-Airbus commercial jet competition in years – takes to the air
In a historic moment, Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier on Friday for the first time flew a jet that is a credible alternative to Boeing products. The only trouble is, few carriers want the up-to-149 seat Bombardier CS300 jet, and the expense of developing it has been dragging down Bombardier. While Boeing (BA) has faced North American-built commercial jet competition in years past – from Lockheed Martin Corp. and McDonnell Douglas Corp. before Boeing acquired it – this is the first time, since the Boeing-Airbus duopoly solidified that a new competing jet has flown. The Bombardier jet competes only against the bottom end of Boeing's product line, specifically the 737 Max 7.

What Would It Be Like to Live on Mars?
The idea of living on Mars has been a staple of science fiction since the 19th century, when American astronomer Percival Lowell speculated that the channels on the Red Planet were really ancient canals built by intelligent extraterrestrials. In 1965, NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft completed the first Martian flyby, and six years later, the Soviet Union's Mars 3 lander became the first spacecraft to land softly on Mars. Since then, there have been numerous successful missions to the Red Planet, including the deployment of four Mars rovers — the now-defunct Sojourner and Spirit, and the still-active Opportunity and Curiosity — and NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft, which produced a map of the entire planet. NASA is now planning for a manned mission to Mars, which is slated for the 2030s.

Toronto tunnel mystery solved, say police
Toronto police said Monday they now know who dug a tunnel near a major sporting venue in the city -- a mystery that has been a source of widespread speculation and conspiracy theories. The tunnel, which also is situated near Toronto's York University, was discovered by a wildlife official walking through woods. It was more than six feet (1.8 meters) high, almost three feet (0.9 meters) wide and about 33 feet (10 meters) long, and was hidden in a densely wooded area of the city, "well off the beaten path," deputy police chief Mark Saunders told a press conference last week. Had it continued, the tunnel would have exited on the other side of a hill overlooking nearby tennis courts and a sports facility that will host the Pan American Games in July.
