Denmark's Hoyer wins presidency of badminton body

(AP) ? Former Olympics champion Poul-Erik Hoyer has pledged to improve the image of badminton after winning the presidency of the sport's world governing body.

The Dane polled 145 votes Saturday to beat Justian Suhandinata of Indonesia by 25 votes, becoming the first European to lead the Badminton World Federation since 1993.

Hoyer won the singles gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He succeeds Kang Young Joong of South Korean, who stepped down after eight years in charge.

Hoyer says eradicating "match-fixing or match-throwing" and ensuring badminton is in the top 10 of Olympic sports are among his top priorities.

The sport was disgraced at last year's London Olympics when eight Asian female players were disqualified for trying to lose matches to gain more favorable draws.

Corning intros Lotus XT Glass for next-gen mobile displays, touts more efficient production (video)

Corning Lotus XT Glass allows for widespread nextgen mobile displays video

Corning's Lotus Glass promised a world full of thinner, more advanced mobile displays when it was unveiled in 2011, but it hasn't always been easy to build with the volumes or features that customers want. Enter the company's new Lotus XT Glass as the solution: clients can produce it more reliably at high temperatures, leading to more usable panels for our LCDs and OLEDs. The improved yields should not only result in larger device volumes than the original Lotus Glass could muster, but push the technological limits -- Corning notes that hotter manufacturing allows for brighter, sharper and more efficient screens. The glass is commercially available today, although we'll still need to wait for gadget makers to choose, implement and ship it before we notice the XT difference.

Benghazi emails: What do they reveal?

One email confirmed officials removed information about CIA warnings regarding an al Qaeda threat before the attacks in Benghazi, Libya in September 2012 from talking points the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations presented to the public. The administration released the emails in an effort to seem more transparent.?

By Jeff Mason,?Reuters / May 15, 2013

A portion of a page of emails that the White House released Wednesday is seen at the White House in Washington. These emails document how the Obama administration crafted its public talking points immediately following the Sept. 11, 2012, deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya.

The?White House?on Wednesday sought to defuse controversy over its handling of last year's killing of four Americans in Benghazi, releasing emails that show how?Obama administration?officials presented a scrubbed-down version of the attacks to the public.

'; } else if (google_ads.length > 1) { ad_unit += ''; } } document.getElementById("ad_unit").innerHTML += ad_unit; google_adnum += google_ads.length; return; } var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = "pub-6743622525202572"; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_feedback = "on"; google_ad_type = "text"; // google_adtest = "on"; google_image_size = '230x105'; google_skip = '0'; // -->

The documents gave a glimpse into the administration's message control as officials carefully debated via email which details U.S. Ambassador to the?United Nations?Susan Rice should highlight when she went on talk shows five days later to discuss the Sept. 11 assault on the?U.S. mission?in Benghazi,?Libya.

There was little in the roughly 100 pages of emails about Rice's "talking points" that had not been leaked previously.

They included an email confirming perhaps the most damaging charge that administration officials removed mention from Rice's talking points that the CIA had warned of an al Qaeda threat in the area of the eastern Libyan city before the attacks.

The exchange between?White House, State Department and intelligence officials showed the talking points went through a series of revisions that scrubbed them of references to terror warnings before Ambassador?Chris Stevens?and three other Americans were killed.

While awkward for the?White House, releasing the emails was an effort to counter complaints from Republicans and the media that President?Barack Obama's administration?is secretive.

It came as the government was battling criticism on several fronts, including a scandal over the?Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups for special scrutiny.

In the Benghazi?emails, then-State Department spokeswoman?Victoria Nuland?raised concerns about references to intelligence about the threat from militants in?eastern Libya.

Nuland wrote that she had "serious concerns" that the talking points would provide members of?Congress?with material to "beat the State Department for not paying attention to (Central Intelligence) Agency warnings" about threats in the region.

Those references were deleted from the final talking points that Rice used on the Sunday morning talk shows on Sept. 16.

Nuland noted in one of her emails that changes during the draft process "don't resolve all my issues or those of my building leadership," suggesting officials above her at the State Department were also concerned.

Chrysler recalls almost 470,000 Jeep SUVs

DETROIT (AP) ? Chrysler is recalling 469,000 Jeep SUVs worldwide because they can shift into neutral without warning on startup.

The recall affects 2005 to 2010 Grand Cherokees and 2006 to 2010 Commanders.

U.S. safety regulators say cracks in a circuit board can cause a faulty signal as the SUVs are being started. If the vehicles shift into neutral they can roll away.

Chrysler says the problem has caused 26 crashes and two injuries.

Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update software to take care of the problem. Chrysler found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off.

Repairs will be made at no cost to owners.

The recall covers 295,000 vehicles in the U.S., 28,500 in Canada, and 4,200 in Mexico. The remaining 141,000 are outside North America.

The company says in documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Administration that it began looking into the problem after a customer complained that an SUV rolled away in January of 2012 after being started remotely.
