<p>The feeding-tube diet, also known as the K-E diet, is the latest fad among brides who are looking to lose weight before their wedding day, reports <a href="http://healthland.time.com/2012/04/18/with-this-tube-i-thee-shed-whats-wrong-with-the-latest-wedding-crash-diet/">TIME</a>.</p>

<p>The diet involves inserting a feeding tube into the patients notes which runs to the stomach for a period of ten days. Patients do not eat, but receive 800-calorie-a-day food supplements through a portable pump they carry around, reports <a href="http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/19/feeding-tube-diet-raises-eyebrows/">CNN</a>.</p>

<p>"The science is based on providing your body with only proteins and fats without carbohydrates or sugars, which force your body into what is called ketosis; this means your body burns up your stores of fat but not muscle because the program is only 10 days long.  Because it is delivered to the body in a unique way through the K-E Tube, it works effectively and quickly," Dr. Oliver Di Pietro, who brought the K-E diet to the United States from Italy, reports <a href="http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/19/feeding-tube-diet-raises-eyebrows/">CNN</a>.</p>

<p>People have started to use the K-E diet to drop significant amount of weight or just to trim off a couple of extra pounds before a big event, reports <a href="http://healthland.time.com/2012/04/18/with-this-tube-i-thee-shed-whats-wrong-with-the-latest-wedding-crash-diet/">TIME</a>.</p>

<p>People use it drop significant amounts of weight or just to trim off a couple of extra pounds before a big event. "At first I decided not to do it for people who just want to lose a few pounds," Di Pietro told the New York Times, reported <a href="http://healthland.time.com/2012/04/18/with-this-tube-i-thee-shed-whats-wrong-with-the-latest-wedding-crash-diet/">TIME</a>. "But then I thought, why should I say 5 or 10 pounds are not enough? People want to be perfect."</p>

<p>Gibb, 62, fell into a coma last week after catching pneumonia. He is now fully conscious and able to speak, but remains in intensive care and is "exhausted, extremely weak and malnourished," Dr. Andrew Thillainayagam said reports <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/story/2012-04-22/robin-gibb-cancer/54472640/1?csp=hf">USA Today</a>.</p>

<p>After several months of being ill, Gibb has canceled several public appearances last year.Thou his website said he had been seriously ill, he did not give more details.

<p>Winter has made a reappearance on Sunday as a storm brought rare, unseasonable snow to the northeastern United States, while parts of New England are facing flooding, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/23/usa-weather-northeast-idUSL2E8FM1AB20120423">Reuters </a>reports.</p>

<p>Winter storm watches and warnings are posted throughout the northeast from West Virginia, across Western Pennsylvania and into New York, reports <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/story/2012-04-22/east-coast-storm/54470584/1">USA Today</a>.</p>

<p>The weight of the snow and the additional force from high winds will likely lead to downed trees and power lines, which will lead to multiple power outages ranging from western New York to northern West Virginia, says Weather Channel meteorologist Jonathan Erdman reports <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/story/2012-04-22/east-coast-storm/54470584/1">USA Today</a>.</p>

<p>Once the snow ends, the forecast shows February-like temperatures in the 30s and 40s, reports <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/story/2012-04-22/east-coast-storm/54470584/1">USA Today</a>.<br />

<p>Amid worries that he will use the proceedings to showcase his radical views, the terror trial against an anti-Muslim fanatic who confessed to killing 77 people in Norway starts Monday, reports <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012-04-15/norway-massacre-trial/54302684/1">USA Today</a>.</p>

<p>Anders Behring Breivik is scheduled to testify for five days to explain why he set off a bomb in downtown Oslo, killing eight, and then why he shot an additional 69 people dead, mostly teenagers, at a Labor Party youth camp on Utoya island, outside the capital of Norway, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012-04-15/norway-massacre-trial/54302684/1">USA Today</a> reports.</p>

<p>Breivik is anticipated to deny terrorism charges. According to his legal team, his logic for his attacks was "self defense."He had said his attacks were intended as punishment to the traitors whose pro-immigration policies were adulterating Norwegian blood, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/16/anders-behring-breivik-trial-opening?newsfeed=true">The Guardian</a> reports.</p>

<p>Many Norwegians fear that Breivik will make an attempt to use his trial to promote his far-right views and will succeed,<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/16/anders-behring-breivik-trial-opening?newsfeed=true"> the Guardian </a>reports.</p>

<p>Breivik has called several right-wing extremists and radical Islamist to testify, in order to show that others share his view of clashing civilizations, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012-04-15/norway-massacre-trial/54302684/1">USA Today</a> reports.<br />

<p>Two men were arrested after a shooting spree which left three dead, two wounded and a black community in fear, and police said one of the suspects may have been attempting to avenge his father's death two years ago by a black man, reports the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5ipUtZ7LbDL01JJCCflvm7VJ2aB0Q?docId=N0190891333929080018A">Associated Press</a>.</p>

<p>Jack England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, are scheduled to be arraigned Monday. The two were arrested Sunday morning after investigators were led to England's burned pickup, which matched the description of the vehicle reported at the crime scene, reports<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2012/04/08/us/oklahoma-shootings/?hpt=hp_t3"> CNN.</a></p>

<p>Police confirmed that both suspects are white, while the five victims of the shootings in Tulsa, Okla. on Friday were black, reports <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5ipUtZ7LbDL01JJCCflvm7VJ2aB0Q?docId=N0190891333929080018A">Associated Press</a>.</p>

<p>England had updated his Facebook page Thursday blaming the death of his father on a black man and used a racial slur. He said Thursday marked the second anniversary of his father's death, reports the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5ipUtZ7LbDL01JJCCflvm7VJ2aB0Q?docId=N0190891333929080018A">Associated Press</a>.</p>

<p>Authorities said they intended to charge them with murder, as well as other offences, reported the<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5ipUtZ7LbDL01JJCCflvm7VJ2aB0Q?docId=N0190891333929080018A"> Associated Press.</a></p>]]>

<p>An avalanche smashed into the Pakistani army's highest battalion headquarters at an altitude of approximately 4,572 feet in the Gayari region Saturday, burying over 100 soldiers, sources report.</p>

<p>The Pakistani military says the battalion headquarters spent two decades situated in the mountainous location and had never experienced such a disaster, <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2012/04/07/world/asia/pakistan-avalanche/?hpt=wo_c2">CNN</a> reports.</p>

<p>The rescue effort were delayed due to difficulties bringing heavy machinery into the inhospitable are of the Karakoram mountain range, where temperatures drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius, reports the <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/pakistan/Avalanche-buries-100-Pakistan-soldiers-in-Siachen/articleshow/12576606.cms">Times of India</a>.</p>

<p>No bodies have been found despite the hours searching, reported the <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/pakistan/Avalanche-buries-100-Pakistan-soldiers-in-Siachen/articleshow/12576606.cms">Times of India</a>. </p>

<p>When asked about the possibility of uncovering survivors, Major General Athar Abbas, Pakistan army spokesman, said "It is too early to say anything," reports the <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/pakistan/Avalanche-buries-100-Pakistan-soldiers-in-Siachen/articleshow/12576606.cms">Times of India.</a><br />

<p>After a man in Tulsa, Okla. shot five people; killing three and wounding two others, police asked the public for help in the search, according to the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-tulsa-shooting-20120407,0,2643426.story">Los Angeles Times.</a></p>

<p>The shootings occurred Friday each within a few miles of the other. Police identified those killed as Dannaer Fields, 49, Bobby Clark, 54, and William Allen, 31, reports the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-tulsa-shooting-20120407,0,2643426.story">Los Angeles Times</a>.</p>

<p>Investigators think the shootings are linked because they all occurred around the same time within a 3-mile span and all the victims were black.  They are still waiting for the results from the forensic tests, reported the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i8qbhxhRpseTjAQ2TV0oPKeJcysQ?docId=ef568042797346cf9452a4e7bbf160ae">Associated Press</a>.</p>

<p>Of the two surviving victims, one is the only witness to the shootings and described the gunman as a white male, Police Chief Chuck Jordan said, reported the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-tulsa-shooting-20120407,0,2643426.story">Los Angeles Times</a>. Police are now searching for a man in an older-model white pickup truck, Jordan said.</p>

<p>The pickup was spotted in the area of three of the shootings, Officer Jason Willingham said Saturday, reported the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i8qbhxhRpseTjAQ2TV0oPKeJcysQ?docId=ef568042797346cf9452a4e7bbf160ae">Associated Press</a>.</p>

<p>"We don't have one definitive way where this investigation is headed," Willingham said, reported the <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i8qbhxhRpseTjAQ2TV0oPKeJcysQ?docId=ef568042797346cf9452a4e7bbf160ae">Associated Press</a>. "Right now, that's the only thing we have to go on."<br />

<p>After her pilot husband passed out in midflight, 80-year-old Helen Collins took control of the small plane and managed to make a safe landing, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/80-year-old-woman-lands-plane-pilot-passes-midair-report-article-1.1055043?localLinksEnabled=false">New York Daily News</a> reports.</p>

<p>Helen took the controls of the small plane and called 911, and police alerted the FAA, <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57409127/woman-80-lands-plane-after-husband-pilot-dies/">CBS</a> reports.</p>

<p>Rober Vuksanovic, a licensed pilot from Sturgeon Bay flew to her rescue.  "As I was coaching her through the configuration change ... putting the flaps down, putting the gear down and adjusting the power, I was doing the same in my aircraft," he said, reported <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57409127/woman-80-lands-plane-after-husband-pilot-dies/">CBS</a>.</p>

<p>Google revealed their first look into "Project Glass," augmented reality eyeglasses that allow one to have Google services available at all times, reports the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/googles-project-glass-gimmick-or-great-idea/2012/04/05/gIQA7vsLxS_story.html">Washington Post</a>.</p>

<p>According to a video Google posted on Google+ Wednesday, the glasses will be able to display messages, chats, appointments, weather and maps right in your field of vision, reports the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/googles-project-glass-gimmick-or-great-idea/2012/04/05/gIQA7vsLxS_story.html">Washington Post</a>.</p>

<p>The glasses, which remain in the prototype stage, place a small transparent display screen above the wearer's eye that can show maps and other data. With voice commands, the wearer can get directions or chat a friend, reports the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/05/technology/google-offers-look-at-internet-connected-glasses.html">New York Times</a>.</p>

<p>Although it is unclear whether people will want to wear glasses with a screen in their field of vision, those who have seen and used the working prototypes have said that the glasses do not interfere with daily life, the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/05/technology/google-offers-look-at-internet-connected-glasses.html">New York Times </a>reports. </p>

<p>"They let technology get out of your way. If I want to take a picture, I don't have to reach into my pocket and take out my phone; I just press a button at the top of the glasses, and that's it," one person said, the<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/05/technology/google-offers-look-at-internet-connected-glasses.html"> New York Times</a> reported.<br />
