67 year-old Sabine Morceau left her home in Hainault Erquelinnes, Belgium on January 12th intending to pick up a friend in Brussels, 90 miles away. After switching on her GPS, Morceau tuned out and followed the machines instructions. Two days later, she found herself in Zagreb, Croatia.
"I was distracted, so I kept driving," Moreau told Spanish newspaper El Mundo "I saw all kinds of traffic signs, first in French, then German and finally in Croatian, but I kept driving because I was distracted. Suddenly I appeared in Zagreb and I realized I wasn't in Belgium anymore."

Fashion designer Philipp Plein sends models down the runway brandishing guns and wearing gas masks, ostensibly in the name of style. Should a line be drawn when artistic expression abuts the glorification of violence?
German fashion designer Philipp Plein is no stranger to audacious publicity stunts. He made headlines in September for featuring the transsexual model Lea T. in his Milan runway show, further defying convention by having Lea smoke a cigarette on the catwalk. His taste in celebrity casting also raised eyebrows when Lindsay Lohan became the face of his Spring/Summer 2012 campaign and Ed Westwick walked the runway in Plein's Spring/Summer 2013 menswear show.
But not even what appeared to be male twins making out in Plein's most recent ad campaign holds a candle to the designer's most recent shock and awe maneuver. In yesterday's Autumn/Winter 2013 fashion show, Plein accessorized his military-themed collection with balaclavas, gas masks, and automatic weapons waved at the audience as models walked the runway. Plein drove the point home with messages like "Life's a game and it's not fair" and "Only kill for love" stenciled in red on models' bodies.
In the wake of the Newtown tragedy and the ensuing debates over gun control, Plein's strategy (or mode of artistic expression) seems particularly alarming. When is a runway show just that — a show — and when does it cross the line? Check out some of the photos here.

If the internet's consensus is yes, it must be true. Right?
“Don't Ask, Don't Tell” is gone, but don't tell the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses. The Pentagon is backing the Army's decision, but the Marines are taking a more inclusive path.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon late Tuesday night backed up the decision of Army leaders at Fort Bragg in North Carolina not to intervene in the case of a military spouses group that denied membership to the lesbian wife of a servicemember, citing a 2008 policy that has not been revised since "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed in 2011.
The reason cited by an Army spokesman at Fort Bragg: "[F]ederal discrimination laws don't extend to sexual orientation." A Pentagon spokesman added late Tuesday that the Department of Defense "neither drafts, executes nor exercises control over the Club or its governing documents. Private organizations who adhere to the criteria outlined in applicable instructions are allowed base access."
The decision marks a distinct departure from the path announced this past week by the Marines, which will require such groups not to discriminate against same-sex spouses if they wish to operate on military property.
Ben Abel, a spokesman at Fort Bragg, however, said the spouses group is "not in violation of the law in the way that they are operating now."
"The Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses is one of the private organizations that operates on the installation because the garrison commander has determined that they do provide a service to the post through, sponsor[ing] events on the post that are of benefit to the community. The Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses, to the judgment that we have here at Fort Bragg, are not in violation of federal discrimination laws because federal discrimination laws don't extend to sexual orientation," Abel said.
The Pentagon spokesman, Nathan Christensen, explained the current policy to BuzzFeed, "When [a private group] asks for authority to operate on a base it must comply with all applicable DOD instructions and directives and laws, in this case [Department of Defense Instruction] 1000.15."
The applicable instruction has not been revised since October 24, 2008 — during the George W. Bush administration and before the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." The instruction prohibits private groups seeking recognition by the military as a "non-federal entity" from discriminating on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, age, disability, or national origin. It does not mention sexual orientation because out gay, lesbian and bisexual service was a ground for discharge when the instruction was written.
The Army's move at Fort Bragg provoked immediate criticism from the nation's largest LGBT military organization, OutServe-SLDN, which has been encouraging the Pentagon to update its policies to include gay servicemembers' families since before the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Allyson Robinson, the group's executive director, said the base's commander, Lt. Gen. Daniel B. Allyn, is "doubling down on anti-gay discrimination in his community." Robinson, who spoke with BuzzFeed prior to the Pentagon spokesman's comments, added, "I'm very disappointed in Gen. Allyn and in his command."
Despite the current instructions cited by Christensen, the Marines' guidance, issued by the Marine commandant's Staff Judge Advocate this past week, appears to go further than currently required in order to advance a nondiscrimination policy that includes sexual orientation. As reported by NBC News at the time, "The Marine memo, issued [Jan. 8], described the Fort Bragg club's stance as having 'caused quite a stir' and added, 'We do not want a story like this developing in our backyard,' confirmed Capt. Eric Flanagan, a Marine Corps spokesman. 'The order was pretty much using (the Fort Bragg events) as an example to clarify our policy,' Flanagan said. 'We stated that the policy is to be non-discriminatory.'"
When Abel was asked Tuesday afternoon about the discrepancy between the two service branch's policies, he said, "We don't make arbitrary decisions here at Fort Bragg. We get guidance from the Army and the Department of Defense. I cannot tell you why the Marines did what they did. I don't know anything more than you do from what I've seen in the press." Christensen, likewise, did not reference the Marines' guidance in his response late Tuesday night.
Robinson, of OutServe-SLDN, spoke with BuzzFeed Tuesday evening about Abel's comments, saying that his explanation was inadequate. "This response sounds like a very defensive final answer on the matter from General Allyn and from his command. As a private organization, the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses is free to discriminate, but what Gen. Allyn, I think, would like for us to forget is that he doesn't have to provide support or dedicate resources to an organization that blatantly discriminates against certain families in his command. The responsibility here is still his," she said.
Abel, however, responded that the decision was not Allyn's to make, saying, "We don't make the laws here within the military, within the executive branch. We just execute the laws, and we follow the laws. If individuals have trouble, a specific grievance with the law, then they need to speak to somebody else. We don't make the laws here at Fort Bragg."
Robinson contrasted Abel's comments with those by President Obama's defense secretary nominee, former Sen. Chuck Hagel, who wrote in a letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer that he would "do everything possible to the extent permissible under current law to provide equal benefits to the families of all our service members." The letter, dated Jan. 14, was made public on Tuesday.
Referring to Allyn, Robinson said, "He is doubling down on anti-gay discrimination in his community on the very day that the likely next secretary of defense has pledged himself, historically, to using all of his authority to give out as equitable a situation for gay and lesbian military families as he possibly can under law. I think that what we're seeing at Fort Bragg highlights the need for leadership from the Pentagon to bring some consistency across the U.S. Armed Forces."
Although the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses had announced in December that it would be reviewing its membership policies, Broadway told BuzzFeed on Monday evening, "Unfortunately, there has been no word from ABOS."

In response to the emergency landing, Japan's two biggest carriers have grounded all of their Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes.
The Dreamliner airplanes use 20% less fuel and are supposed to offer a superior ride, but the planes have had many glitches so far, including repeated fuel leaks, a cracked cockpit window, and brake problems.

The All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane made an emergency landing at Takamatsu airport in Japan, because there was an error message in the cockpit citing a battery malfunction.
Smoke appeared in the plane's cockpit, but it is still not known what caused the fire to start. It was also reported that there was a strange smell.

They're twins, but only some people know that, which makes it easy for them to switch places whenever it's convenient. Most of the time, Emma is posing as Sutton, but Sutton is working with Rebecca behind Emma's back.

But only Sutton knows that. They have evil plans that involve taking down Alec, whom Rebecca is now married to. Rebecca also has a secret son, who just showed up in the Season 2 premiere.
Image by ABC Family
But no one knows that except for Rebecca. Especially not Mads, who just hooked up with Jordan. Mads is Alec's daughter, which makes her Rebecca's stepdaughter, which makes all of this a little bit gross.

Ethan was Sutton's boyfriend, and he quickly figured it out when the twins swapped places. Then he fell for Emma. They were together, until Ethan kissed Sutton, and now Sutton's trying to win him back, but he's still in love with Emma.

“I'm reattaching my jaw. It's one of the weirdest, saddest stories I've ever come across.”
Here's the full story of Manti Te'o and his fake girlfriend, which he's calling a hoax he fell victim to.
From Te'o:
He described her as the "most beautiful girl I've ever met" and "someone that you talk to every single day."
Wojciechowski:
"You have to question his judgment, his character, his honesty, even."
"Short of asking to see a death certificate, i'm not sure what most people would do differently in that case. But in researching it before I wrote the script, I remember trying to find an obituary for his girlfriend and could not."
Wojciechowski asked to speak to Kekua's family and see photos of her and Te'o said her family would prefer not to.
Wojciechowski wondered why Notre Dame didn't get ahead of the story.
From Russia with love.
