Beheading in Oklahoma: Was it terrorism or workplace violence?
Moore,
Okla., is a sleepy suburb where major crime is almost unheard of —
especially something like the grisly decapitation of one person by a
co-worker and the attempted decapitation of another. Local officials
have described what happened at Vaughan Foods as a horrifying but random
case of an angry worker lashing out. But while the FBI says it has
found no links so far between the confessed killer and the Islamic State
or other extremist groups, there is little doubt that he sympathized
with their cause.Read More ...

Driking coffee is good for your liver, says study
Drinking
decaffeinated coffee is just as helpful as drinking regular coffee is
for maintaining a healthy liver, a new study finds. Regardless of
whether they drank decaf or regular, people in the study who drank large
quantities of coffee on a daily basis had lower levels of abnormal
liver enzymes, the researchers found. Other studies have found that
drinking coffee is associated with lower risks of developing diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis and
liver cancer. "Prior research found that drinking coffee may have a
possible protective effect on the liver," lead researcher Dr. Qian Xiao,
of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, said in a
statement.Read More ...
