Illinois town’s chief financial officer accused of stealing millions, Spanish king apologizes for elephant hunting trip

The arrest of Dixon's chief financial officer Rita Crundwell has shaken the northwest Illinois town. She was charged with defrauding the city of $3.2 million and misappropriating another $30 million in city funds. The woman stole the funds over six years to support her luxurious lifestyle. I think we should kill her.

In an unprecedented act of royal contrition, Spain's king apologized Wednesday for having gone elephant-hunting in Africa while everyday people endure a severe economic crisis.

Man Dies Saving Child from Riptide, Bobby Petrino fired

A heroic 65-year-old man jumped directly into a powerful Florida riptide and rescued a little girl before suffering a "cardiac event" in the water that led to his death. Alan Hall and his wife saw three children playing near the shoreline as a powerful current began to build. Seconds later, the children started screaming for help. Their parents rushed into the water and were each able to pull a child to safety, but a third child, a little girl, was still in harms way in the rough water. The 65-year-old man jumped into the tide without hesitating. After pushing the child to safety, Alan Hall's heart stopped.

One person killed in Colorado wildfire

Winds gust ranging from 40 to 50 mph in Pueblo County fueled a wildfire Monday afternoon. Investigators say one body was found late Monday after the fire spread across more than 4½ square miles in a matter of hours. Authorities don't know exactly how many houses were lost but said it was at least five and probably more than 10. It is several miles, and mountain ridges, west of Denver's tightly populated southwestern suburbs, which weren't threatened.

Job candidates may have to provide their Facebook login information to obtain employment

Perhaps your unemployment benefit or severance has run out. In this fiercely competitive market, you’re starting to become more frustrated. You'd be supprised if the interviewer asked you about your Facebook profiles. The Boston Globe is reporting that some recruiters are asking job seekers to give up their Facebook login information so they can check over their profiles. Some companies and government agencies are going beyond merely glancing at a person's social networking profiles and instead asking to login as the user to have a look around. Many need employment and may have to provide their Facebook login details to obtain it. Apparently, this practice is much more common among law enforcement positions. Meanwhile, privacy law experts worry about how the line between private and public life is being blurred in social media. David Fraser, a Halifax-based privacy lawyer who runs the Canadian Privacy Law Blog, called this act "a completely unjustified invasion of privacy." Do you agree with him?

Google Play marks a radical departure from Android Market

A Google Play account allows people to access all their files and data, of which Android apps are just a small part, from anywhere they can get online. I think that Google's approach to digital content is fragmented. Google Music is an example. The move might be seen a defensive one, to dig in against Apple’s iCloud, which is already prime time on the iPad and iPhone, and coming to a Mac near you with the release of OS X Mountain Lion.
