RF Matt Kemp confident about new-look Padres being contender
Matt Kemp stood up from his locker, navy blue hoodie covering his head and began signing the nursery rhyme, ''Rain, Rain, Go Away.'' Aside from Saturday's gray skies and precipitation in the forecast all weekend, San Diego's new right fielder is loving his new life that is taking him a couple of hours farther south in Southern California with the Padres. ''I'll go from LA to San Diego, two beautiful cities. San Diego's just a little bit more laid back and chill. New changes, new faces.'' Kemp has made one thing clear already: The Padres have baseball's best outfield.

Alcoholic Bears Are Finally Freed From a Hellish Russian Prison
It’s been a long, tragic road for two blind alcoholic bears in the town of Sochi, Russia, that have spent their lives in a squalid cage as part of a restaurant attraction. The bears have been removed from their cramped, filthy surroundings and are off the sauce, thanks in part to Brigitte Bardot’s animal rights group. Soon after the ruling, U.K.-based animal rights group Big Hearts Foundation started searching for a new home for the bears.

Mexico captures most wanted drug kingpin, former teacher 'La Tuta'
By Anahi Rama and Lizbeth Diaz MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico captured its most wanted drug lord on Friday, former primary school teacher Servando "La Tuta" Gomez, delivering a boost to a government battered by gang violence. The 49-year-old gang boss was the prime target of President Enrique Peña Nieto's effort to regain control of Michoacan, a western state wracked by clashes between Gomez's Knights Templar cartel and armed vigilantes trying to oust them. Peña Nieto has been trying to quell public outrage in Mexico after the late September abduction and apparent massacre of 43 trainee teachers by corrupt police in league with gang members.

Rare Roman Tombstone Discovered in England
A 1,800-year-old tombstone was discovered at a Roman cemetery in England this week. Because of its inscription, archaeologists know who was buried in the grave: a 27-year-old woman named Bodica. "It's incredibly rare," Neil Holbrook, of Cotswold Archaeology, told Live Science. For the last two months, Holbrook's team has been excavating a Roman cemetery just outside the ancient city walls of Cirencester, a town in Gloucestershire, to make way for the construction of a new office park.

Why Republicans Aren't Scared by the Politics of Immigration
For the third time in as many years, congressional Republicans find themselves threatening to shut down part of the federal government rather than compromise with the White House. The latest fight, over President Obama’s decision to stop the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from deporting millions of undocumented immigrants, has upset potential GOP presidential candidates, several of whom have made it a priority to attract Latino voters. In the run-up to Friday's theater in Congress, Sen. Lindsey Graham implored his party not to shut down the government, adding that, as Republicans, “we'll get blamed.” Rep. Peter King of New York said, “people think we're crazy.” Congress came two hours from a department shutdown before reaching an agreement. Graham's and King's comments echoed a plea made by Karl Rove, the party’s senior strategist, in the Wall Street Journal.

Retreating ice in a warming Antarctica (21 photos)
Yahoo NewsFrom the ground in this extreme northern part of Antarctica, spectacularly white and blinding ice seems to extend forever. What can't be seen is the battle raging thousands of feet (hundreds of meters) below to re-shape Earth. Water is eating away at the Antarctic ice, melting it where it hits the oceans. As the ice sheets slowly thaw, water pours into the sea — 130 billion tons of ice (118 billion metric tons) per year for the past decade, according to NASA satellite calculations. That's the weight of more than 356,000 Empire State Buildings, enough ice melt to fill more than 1.3 million Olympic swimming pools. And the melting is accelerating. In the worst case scenario, Antarctica's melt could push sea levels up 10 feet (3 meters) worldwide in a century or two, recurving heavily populated coastlines. Parts of Antarctica are melting so rapidly it has become "ground zero of global climate change without a doubt," said Harvard geophysicist Jerry Mitrovica.

The End of the Big Mac
If you like to lunch on two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, you’d better act fast: McDonald’s has announced plans to phase out the Big Mac. McDonald’s had announced that it had been testing menu cuts after finding that sales in November were down 4.6 percent compared to the previous year. With the rise of “fast casual” chains like Chipotle and Shake Shack, fast food is on the rocks, at least among the middle classes who can afford a $10 lunch instead of a $5 one. Chipotle enjoyed a 16.8 percent increase in sales at stores open more than a year in 2014, and shares of Shake Shack—a self-styled “anti-McDonald’s”—doubled on the day of its January IPO, despite the fact that Danny Meyer's burger business only operates at 63 locations.
