Dec 27th 2012, 01:40

As video game images become increasingly more realistic and graphic, policy makers are debating if there is a link between the violence depicted in those games and violence in real life.   A 20-year-old gunman's shooting spree at a school in the northeastern United States this month has reinvigorated discussions about violence, prompting lawmakers to call for greater examination of brutality in video games. But evidence does not suggest violence in games causes violence in ...

Days Remain before US Steps Off 'Fiscal Cliff'
Dec 26th 2012, 08:57

Less than a week remains before a still-recovering U.S. economy confronts a draconian austerity regime of automatic, across-the-board tax increases and deep cuts to federal spending.  Hopes of averting the so-called "fiscal cliff" by January 1 are dimming with each passing day. Call it Washington's version of Mission Impossible. The challenge?  A politically-divided and chronically-gridlocked Congress has just days to forge a deficit reduction package acceptable to legislators of ...

At least two people are dead after a severe weather system swept through the southern United States on Christmas Day. Tornadoes touched down in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, damaging or destroying scores of homes and leaving tens of thousands of residents in the region without power.  The system also caused winter storms in Oklahoma, leading to a 21-car accident on a major interstate. Authorities in Texas say a 25-year-old man was killed when a tree toppled by high winds ...
