    The FBI is training Brazilian police to deal with protesters in the lead-up to this year's World Cup. How could that go wrong?

  • In Nigeria, Boko Haram's kidnapping ways and the government's inability to provide even a modicum of security has people just a bit on edge.
  • One of Governor Chris Christie's aides has been called to testify in the probe of the "Bridgegate" scandal. Heh. Grab the popcorn.
  • A new study claims e-cigarettes have no health benefits because…people might use them and the old-school product. And childrunz! Really.
  • A rush-hour bombing in Baghdad took the lives of 24 people.
