<p>As a rule, the agency does not allow names resembling an official title or rank, so children can not be legally named "King" or "Princess", <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/nz-list-crazy-banned-baby-names-includes-lucifer-v8-article-1.1332500">The New York Daily News reported.</a></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Jason Collins, 12-year professional NBA player, became the first active male athlete in a major American team sport to come out as gay Monday, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/04/29/jason-collins-gay-athlete/2121127/">USA Today reported.</a></p>

<p>Collins, 34, made the announcement in an online first-person essay for Sports Illustrated, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/04/29/jason-collins-gay-athlete/2121127/">USA Today reported.</a></p>

<p>"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay," Collins wrote in the essay, which will run May 6. Franz Lidz is a co-writer on the article, <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/04/29/jason-collins-gay-athlete/2121127/">USA Today reported.</a></p>

<p>Collins said he has gotten "incredible" support in an interview for ABC's "Good Morning America" Tuesday, <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9226747/nba-jason-collins-says-us-ready-openly-gay-player">ESPN reported.</a></p>

<p>"I think, I know, in my personal life, I'm ready, and I think the country is ready for supporting an openly gay basketball player," Collins said on the program <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9226747/nba-jason-collins-says-us-ready-openly-gay-player">as reported by ESPN.</a></p>

<p>Collins said he went through a kind of 12-step program while deciding to come out, going through anger and denial, <a href="http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/9226747/nba-jason-collins-says-us-ready-openly-gay-player">ESPN reported.<br />
</a><br />
"When I was younger I dated women," Collins wrote <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2013/04/29/jason-collins-gay-athlete/2121127/">as reported by USA Today</a>. "I even got engaged. i thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue."</p>]]>

<p>A cleanup is underway in Blue Earth, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/205218001.html">The Star Tribune reported.</a></p>

<p>The Union Pacific train derailed at 5:30 p.m. between Third and Fifth Streets when ten cars missed the tracks and tipped over, <a href="http://www.kare11.com/news/article/1023718/391/Train-derailment-causes-big-mess-in-Blue-Earth">Kare reported.</a></p>

<p>No injuries were reported and there is no danger to the public, Blue Earth Police Officer and spokesman Matt Hotzler said <a href="http://www.kare11.com/news/article/1023718/391/Train-derailment-causes-big-mess-in-Blue-Earth">as reported by Kare.</a></p>

<p>A number of streets closed because of the derailment, but many have reopened since then, <a href="http://www.kare11.com/news/article/1023718/391/Train-derailment-causes-big-mess-in-Blue-Earth">Kare reported.<br />

<p>1,400 feet of track and two road crossings will need to be replaced, Davis said <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/205218001.html">as reported by The Star Tribune.</a></p>

<p>The reporter had to find a way to organize the profit data, the amount of users who left, the amount of new users who have signed up since the debacle, and the stock data.</p>

<p>The New York Times included a slick high-definition video above the article, complete with a columnist summarizing the story supported by pictures/videos of Netflix's services.</p>

<p>The New York Times also included a chart of Netflix stock changes from 2009 through the present, isolating the high of $298.73 in 2011, the recent low of $53.80 in 2012, and the most recent price of $215.55 in 2013. </p>

<p>The combination of video, chart, and classic news story helped to flesh the story out for both the casual reader and someone who would want to look more in-depth on the issue. The New York Times understands how to incorporate multimedia to support a new story.</p>]]>

<p>The Rana Plaza building contained several clothing factories, a bank and a market, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22275597">BBC News reported.</a></p>

<p>More than 600 people were injured in the event, and the death toll is expected to rise, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22275597">BBC News reported.</a></p>

<p>"I gave them whistles, water, torchlights, I heard them cry," fir official Abul Khayer said about his rescue efforts. He said rescue missions to find survivors still trapped inside the collapsed building would continue through the night, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/70-dead-bangladesh-garment-factory-collapse-19028451#.UXgN6mTwJuo">ABC News reported.</a></p>

<p>Because Bangladesh's multi-story blocks are built in violation of regulations, building collapses commonly occur in the country, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22275597">BBC News reported.</a></p>

<p>Workers said they hesitated going to work because of the large cracks in the building, which had been reported on local news channels, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/70-dead-bangladesh-garment-factory-collapse-19028451#.UXgN6mTwJuo">ABC News reported.</a></p>

<p>The collapse comes less than five months after a factory fire killed 112 people, eliciting greater concern for the Bangladesh garment industry's unsafe working conditions,<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/70-dead-bangladesh-garment-factory-collapse-19028451#.UXgN6mTwJuo"> ABC News reported.</a></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>The recent unseasonably snowy weather has forced officials to postpone the opening of the St. Paul Farmers' Market for the first time ever, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/east/204177531.html">The Star Tribune reported.</a></p>

<p>The market, located at 5th and Wall Street in St Paul's Lowertown district, was scheduled to open Saturday, but has been postponed to Saturday, May 4, <a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2013/04/22/business/weather-delays-opening-farmers-market">MPR News reported.<br />
</a><br />
 "With the unpredictable weather of the last few weeks, we just couldn't take the chance with the growers," market manager Jack Gerten said <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/east/204177531.html">as reported by The Star Tribune.</a></p>

<p>Even though the forecast calls for warmer temperatures, the market wanted to make sure growers would be able to display their products, <a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2013/04/22/business/weather-delays-opening-farmers-market">MPR News reported.<br />
</a><br />
"Normally, we have to have the temperature above freezing, into the 40s, before we can set up. Otherwise it's just too cold and the products will freeze," Gerten said <a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2013/04/22/business/weather-delays-opening-farmers-market">as reported by MPR News.</a></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Five people were shot to death late Sunday in gunfire at an apartment complex in a city south of Seattle, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/police-5-dead-in-shootings-at-washington-state-apartment-complex/2013/04/22/b8731420-ab1f-11e2-9493-2ff3bf26c4b4_story.html">The Washington Post reported.</a></p>

<p>The five shot at the scene in Federal Way, Washington, included one suspect who was shot by arriving officers, police said <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/police-5-dead-in-shootings-at-washington-state-apartment-complex/2013/04/22/b8731420-ab1f-11e2-9493-2ff3bf26c4b4_story.html">as reported by The Washington Post.</a></p>

<p>When police arrived, they could still hear gunfire, and they also saw two men lying wounded in a parking lot, police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/22/justice/seattle-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t3">as reported by CNN.</a></p>

<p>As police tried to rescue the injured men, one of them reached for a gun, which caused the police to open fire, killing him. The second wounded man also died, Schrock said <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/22/justice/seattle-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t3">as reported by CNN.<br />
</a><br />
In a search of the complex, police found a third man dead in the parking lot, along with two other corpses in the complex, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/police-5-dead-in-shootings-at-washington-state-apartment-complex/2013/04/22/b8731420-ab1f-11e2-9493-2ff3bf26c4b4_story.html">The Washington Post reported.</a></p>

<p>"We still don't have any idea what started this disturbance tonight," Shrock said <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/police-5-dead-in-shootings-at-washington-state-apartment-complex/2013/04/22/b8731420-ab1f-11e2-9493-2ff3bf26c4b4_story.html">as reported by The Washington Post</a>. Police scheduled a briefing for late monday morning. </p>

<p>No officers were injured, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/22/justice/seattle-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t3">CNN reported.</a></p>

<p>The police said they did not think another shooter was on the loose or that there was an immediate threat to the public, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/police-5-dead-in-shootings-at-washington-state-apartment-complex/2013/04/22/b8731420-ab1f-11e2-9493-2ff3bf26c4b4_story.html">The Washington Post reported.</a></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Twitter unveiled Twitter #Music, it's new iPhone music app, Thursday, with an Android version coming soon, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/18/technology/social/twitter-music/index.html">CNN reported.</a></p>

<p>The app helps users find music based on the bands and artists they follow on Twitter. The app also creates "emerging" trends based on which music users are listening to, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/18/technology/social/twitter-music/index.html">CNN reported.</a></p>

<p>The app is organized in four tabs: Popular, Emerging, Suggested, and #NowPlaying, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/twitter-music-app-launches-iphone-web-listen-bands/story?id=18984039#.UXFoG2TwJuo">ABC News reported.</a></p>

<p>The Popular page shows the most-tweeted music, while the Emerging tab finds "hidden talents found in tweets," <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/twitter-music-app-launches-iphone-web-listen-bands/story?id=18984039#.UXFoG2TwJuo">ABC News reported.<br />
</a><br />
The Suggested tab suggests artists based on the Twitter profiles one follows, and the #NowPlaying tab shows songs other users are currently listening to,<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/twitter-music-app-launches-iphone-web-listen-bands/story?id=18984039#.UXFoG2TwJuo"> ABC News reported.</a></p>

<p>Twitter has partnered with Rdio and Spotify so that subscribers can use those services through Twitter #Music. The app is also linked to Apple's iTunes Store, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/18/technology/social/twitter-music/index.html">CNN reported.</a></p>

<p>Twitter's new app is part of a strategy to add more content to the widely used social network. This strategy also includes final negotiations with Viacom and Comcast's NBCUniversal to let Twitter distribute TV clips of their shows, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/18/technology/social/twitter-music/index.html">CNN reported.<br />

<p>The country's Parliament passed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage Wednesday, and the law is expected to take effect in four months,<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/17/world/new-zealand-same-sex-marriage/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_world+%28RSS%3A+World%29"> CNN reported.</a></p>

<p>The vote was 77 to 44 in favor of the bill on its third reading Wednesday night,<a href="http://www.twincities.com/news/ci_23042776/new-zealand-lawmakers-approve-gay-marriage-bill?source=rss"> The Pioneer Press reported.</a></p>

<p>People broke into song, singing New Zealand's love song, "Pokarekare Ana" after the result was announced, <a href="http://www.twincities.com/news/ci_23042776/new-zealand-lawmakers-approve-gay-marriage-bill?source=rss">The Pioneer Press reported.</a></p>

<p>"In our society, the meaning of marriage is universal--it's a declaration of love and commitment to a special person," bill sponsor Louisa Wall said <a href="http://www.twincities.com/news/ci_23042776/new-zealand-lawmakers-approve-gay-marriage-bill?source=rss">as reported by The Pioneer Press.</a> "Nothing could make me more proud to be a New Zealander than passing this bill."</p>

<p>The move comes a week after Uruguayan lawmakers approved a measure legalizing same-sex marriage,<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/17/world/new-zealand-same-sex-marriage/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_world+%28RSS%3A+World%29"> CNN reported.</a></p>

<p>A few other countries including the United Kingdom and France are also considering whether to allow same-sex couples to marry, and Nepal's legalization of same-sex marriage has not gone into effect because the country's new constitution has been in a transitionary period for years, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/17/world/new-zealand-same-sex-marriage/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_world+%28RSS%3A+World%29">CNN reported.</a></p>]]>

<p>21 northern Minnesota suspects will face state charges, in addition to the federal charges against 10 people announced last week. Up to 15 members of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe also face tribal charges, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/203006351.html?page=2&c=y">The Star Tribune reported.</a></p>

<p>Although walleye-poaching has become a northern Minnesota cultural norm, it's illegal and potentially harmful to the fishery, <a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_23027601/minnesota-says-more-charges-coming-walleye-poaching?source=rss">The Pioneer Press reported.</a></p>

<p>Minnesota's chief wildlife law enforcement officer announced the state's largest walleye poaching probe in two decades on Monday, <a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_23027601/minnesota-says-more-charges-coming-walleye-poaching?source=rss">The Pioneer Press reported.</a></p>

<p>An estimated tense of thousands of fish were netted or hooked from Red Lake, Leech Lake, Lake Winnibigoshish and Cass Lake, <a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_23027601/minnesota-says-more-charges-coming-walleye-poaching?source=rss">The Pioneer Press reported.</a></p>

<p>"The investigation revealed widespread acceptance of illegal purchase as a cultural norm," said Col. Jim Konrad, director of enforcement for the Department of Natural Resources <a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_23027601/minnesota-says-more-charges-coming-walleye-poaching?source=rss">as reported by The Pioneer Press.</a></p>

<p>"This is a troubling case because it involved large numbers of people and a significant number of fish being illegally bought or sold," said Tom Landwehr, Department of Natural Resources commissioner, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/203006351.html?page=2&c=y">as reported by The Star Tribune</a>. "The investigation should serve notice that the illegal commercialization of walleye and waste of game fish will not be tolerated in Minnesota."</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Two bombs exploded close to the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday afternoon, killing three people including an 8-year-old child and injuring more than 140, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/us/explosions-reported-at-site-of-boston-marathon.html?hp&_r=0">The New York Times reported.</a></p>

<p>The blasts occurred around 2:50 p.m., more than four hours after the race had started, and nearly three-quarters of the 23,000 runners had already crossed the finish line, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/us/explosions-reported-at-site-of-boston-marathon.html?hp&_r=0">The New York Times reported.</a></p>

<p>An anonymous White House official said that the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/nation/203067231.html">The Star Tribune reported.</a></p>

<p>The two blasts occurred in about 10 seconds and were 100 yards apart. There were two unexploded bombs found near the end of the course, which had been safely disarmed, <a href="http://www.startribune.com/nation/203067231.html">The Star Tribune reported.</a></p>

<p>Spectators scattered after the blast, and rescue workers rushed in to aid the injured, some of whom had lost limbs in the explosions, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/us/explosions-reported-at-site-of-boston-marathon.html?hp&_r=0">The New York Times reported.</a></p>

<p>The F.B.I. took over the investigation, calling it "a criminal investigation that is a potential terrorist investigation," officials said Monday night <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/us/explosions-reported-at-site-of-boston-marathon.html?hp&_r=0">as reported by The New York Times.</a></p>
