En dotter till ledaren för Hamas togs in för akutvård på ett israeliskt sjukhus efter att komplikationer uppstått vid en rutinoperation i Gaza. Dottern till Ismail Haniya tillbringade en vecka på ett sjukhus i Tel Aviv, enligt två källor bekanta med fallet. Vilket av Haniyas 13 barn det gällde ville inte källorna kommentera, men fallet visar på en humanitär koordination mellan fienderna- bara veckor efter det att konflikten i Gaza lugnat ner sig.

BarbaraHudson writes Those free soft drinks at your last start-up may come with a huge hidden price tag. The Toronto Sun reports that researchers at the University of California — San Francisco found study participants who drank pop daily had shorter telomeres — the protective units of DNA that cap the ends of chromosomes in cells — in white blood cells. Short telomeres have been associated with chronic aging diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The researchers calculated daily consumption of a 20-ounce pop is associated with 4.6 years of additional biological aging. The effect on telomere length is comparable to that of smoking, they said. "This finding held regardless of age, race, income and education level," researcher Elissa Epel said in a press release.

Militärens spaning efter vad som kan vara en skadad ubåt i Stockholms skärgård intensifierades under söndagen. Försvarsmakten bedömer det nu som ”troligt” att främmande undervattensverksamhet pågår. Försvaret går också ut med en bild, som tagits på söndagen av en person som observerat något i vattnet i Jungfrufjärden.

En pistolbeväpnad man tvingade till sig en svart limousin på Cederströmsslingan vid Arlandastad norr om Stockholm vid lunchtid på söndagen.

Stora regnmängder ställde till problem för många bilister i Skåne och Blekinge på söndagen.

Polisen hade vid 22-tiden på söndagskvällen ännu inte gripit den man som tidigare på dagen misstänks ha skjutit en annan person i en lägenhet i Uddevalla. Mannen finns kvar i lägenheten och förhandlare från polisen har inlett samtal med honom.

An anonymous reader writes "Space News reports that NASA has cancelled its solar sail demonstration mission (also known as Sunjammer) citing "a lack of confidence in its contractor's ability to deliver." "Company president Nathan] Barnes said that in 2011 he reached out to several NASA centers and companies that he believed could build the spacecraft and leave L'Garde free to focus on the solar sail. None of those he approached — he only identified NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California — took him up on the offer. Rather than give up on the opportunity to land a NASA contract, L'Garde decided to bring the spacecraft development in house. It did not work out, and as of Oct. 17, the company had taken delivery of about $2 million worth of spacecraft hardware including a hydrazine tank from ATK Space Systems of Commerce, California, and four mono-propellant thrusters from Aerojet Rocketdyne of Sacramento, California."
