US Women's Olympic Gymnastic Stars Light Up The Empire State Building
Their gold medals in hand, the US women's champion Olympic Gymnastic team on Tuesday flicked the switch, to light up the Empire State Building red, white and blue. Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross arrived at the London Games as wannabes but returned home with a bounty of medals, including the United States' first team gold in 16-years. 16-year-old Gabby Douglas in particular grabbed the media spotlight, after winning the women's all-around gold medal. [Steve Penny, President of USA Gymnastics]: "Gabby Douglas became the first African-American to win the Olympic all-around gold medal and was the third consecutive all-around champion for the United States." McKayla Maroney has also become a media sensation, after a video of her scowling during her silver winning medal ceremony went viral. [McKayla Maroney, US Olympic Gymnast]: "I was real confused and I couldn't believe that just for making that face for two seconds like, it could turn in to that. I was just disappointed that I fell on my butt at the Olympics and when the National Anthem was playing and it wasn't my country I was just thinking in my head, like just, dang it." Aly Raisman, the team's captain and the oldest of the group at 18-years-old, took home three medals, including the team gold, a bronze on the balance beam and a gold medal for her performance on the floor.

Egg-sized Hail Injures 20
Hailstones the size of chicken eggs pelted people and cars in the Russia Siberian town of Mezhdurechensk on Tuesday, injuring at least 20 people. Over 100 cars were also damaged in the incident. The evening saw a sudden change of weather, with a torrential downpour of huge hailstones, some larger than chicken eggs. Witnesses said some hailstones reached almost three inches in diameter. Town residents had to run for shelter literally to save themselves. Big hailstones pierced holes in car windows, sometimes smashing the glass completely. Meteorologists say they believe the sudden summer storm was caused by a sharp temperature drop from almost 90 degrees Farenheit at lunchtime to just over 60 degrees Farenheit by the evening. Mezhdurechensk is located in the Kemerovo region in Central Siberia over 2300 miles east of Moscow.

Dramatic Video of Texas Shooting Emerges
Amateur video filmed by a neighbor showed the chaotic scene surrounding a deadly shooting near Texas A%M University in College Station, Texas. On Monday, a man killed two people, including a law enforcement officer who was serving him an eviction notice at a home near the university before police fatally shot the suspect in a gun battle that lasted half an hour. An officer can be heard saying, "Do not move, do not move, if you move you are dead," during the dramatic footage filmed from the grass and provided by Rigo Cisneros, an Army medic. Cisneros at one point asked authorities if an ambulance was coming, saying "I am a medic." Later a voice can be heard saying, "Alright go, the house is clear." Four people also were injured in the incident, police and city officials said. The shooting comes at a time of national concern over gun violence after two recent mass shootings.

New Scary Cigarette Packages
Australia's High Court ruled in favor of a new anti-tobacco marketing law despite opposition from global cigarette manufacturers. The decision requires the replacement of logos on tobacco packs with olive green packets and graphic health warnings by December 1. The images will depict many of the serious side-effects of smoking. Brand names will be limited to generic typeface. Major tobacco companies British American Tobacco, Britain's Imperial Tobacco, Japan Tobacco and Phillip Morris challenged the Tobacco Plain Packaging Act of 2011, claiming the rules were unconstitutional, eliminating intellectual property rights. Attorney-General Nicola Roxon, who had led the way in the anti-tobacco laws, celebrated the victory, noting its potential effect internationally. [Nicola Roxon, Attorney-General]: "The decision having been handed down today means that tobacco companies no longer have any excuses not to get on with implementing this measure, and we urge them with the highest court in Australia having made clear that this is a step that the Australian people and the Australian parliament can take, that it is time for the tobacco companies to get on with implementation and to stop trying to challenge this measure further in our international courts." With the decision, the tobacco companies say they will follow the new law, though they plan on challenging the law with the World Trade Organization and a United Nations tribunal. The World Health Organization estimates that there ... From: NTDTV Views: 9 2 ratings Time: 01:39 More in News & Politics

Signs Continue to Point Downward for the Chinese Economy
China, the world's largest producer and consumer of coal, has lowered its production target in 2012. The Wednesday cut means the manufacturing-reliant economy is using up less energy -- in other words, the economy is slowing down. The cuts, by as much as 7%, apply to China's three top coal production regions. The National Development and Reform Commission, China's main economic planning agency, said 2012's output will increase by 3.7% from last year, at 3.65 billion tonnes. This is a big dive from the previous growth rate of 8.6%. The cut reflects a slowdown in global demands. At the close of last week, Industrial Production levels for July also trended downward, and domestic market demand decreased by 0.4%. Chinese regulators are now expected to introduce further stimulus for the economy. Analyst Gordon Chang believes there will be limited room to move. [Gordon Chang, Economics Analyst] "The real problem is China is no longer got the capability to stimulate its economy like it did in 2008 and 2009. Right now we are going to see a stimulus program, but it isn't going to an effective one. " The sluggish demand is having flow-on effects on the country's banking industry. Non-performing loans increased by $2.86 billion in the second quarter, and combined net income across Chinese banks decreased by 23%. Chang believes all of this is point to a bleak third quarter.

Chinese Cars Containing Asbestos Recalled in Australia
Two of China's biggest car manufacturers, Great Wall Motor Company and Chery (pron. cherry) Automobile Company, have had to recall 23000 vehicles in Australia. The gaskets and engines of certain models were found to contain asbestos, a cancer causing fiber. These car parts present a threat to mechanics and people making at-home auto repairs, but not to passengers riding inside the vehicles. There is no prohibition of asbestos in China, but the hazardous mineral has been banned in Australia since 2004. From: NTDTV Views: 6 3 ratings Time: 00:33 More in News & Politics

Japanese Police Arrest Chinese East China Sea Activists
Japanese police have arrested five Chinese activists after they landed on a group of islands in the disputed waters of the East China Sea. Both China and Japan claim ownership of the islands, called Diaoyu by the Chinese and Senkaku by the Japanese. Although the islands are uninhabited, the Chinese activists sought to use their landing as a mean of strengthening China's claim. Tokyo has formally protested the activists' visit to the islands. [Osamu Fujimura, Chief Cabinet Secretary, Japan:] "We have just lodged our complaints via diplomatic channels in both China and Hong Kong. As directed by Prime minister Yoshihiko Noda, we will be coordinating with the various ministries to caution, monitor and deal with them within Japanese law and when necessary take appropriate action." The fourteen activists sailed to the island chain on a fishing boat. They hailed from Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China. Japanese coastguards gave chase, firing water cannons and attempting to block their landing. Still, seven made it ashore. Five of them were instantly arrested.

Wang Lijun Possibly Put on Trial Secretly
Former Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun was secretly put on trial Monday morning, according to the Hong Kong-based TV station Cable TV. Wang made headlines back in February when he fled to a US Consulate in the city of Chengdu. That move led to the downfall of former Chongqing Party Secretary Bo Xilai and his wife, Gu Kailai. Political commentator Lin Zixu says there are various rumors on Wang Lijun's trial time, which may have been distractions created by the CCP. [Lin Zixu, Political Commentator]: "I guess the CCP will not have a public hearing; even the CCP does not want to release the time and place of the trial, or Wang Lijun's picture and all other related information. It shows one thing%mdashthat there is a secret behind Wang Lijun's case which is big enough to kill the CCP." Some analysts see Wang's case as a prelude for what may happen to Bo Xilai. Wang's flight to the consulate implicated Bo in a number of scandals. One includes an alleged cover-up of the murder of British expatriate Neil Heywood at the hands of Bo's wife, Gu Kailai. Another is a high-level conspiracy between Bo and Zhou Yongkang to overthrow Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, who is slated to become president after the New Year. Sources inside China have reported that Wang Lijun, Gu Kailai and Bo Xiali were involved in the harvesting of organs from live Falun Gong practitioners, and that Neil Heywood may have known about it. That's why Gu killed Heywood to avoid the details from being leaked. But ... From: NTDTV Views: 4 0 ratings Time: 02:33 More in News & Politics
