A South Carolina man killed at least seven people in a hidden crime spree that lasted more than a decade and only was uncovered when police rescued a woman chained at the neck in a storage container, authorities said Saturday. Todd Kohlhepp accepted responsibility for an unsolved massacre one day before the 13th anniversary of the deaths that stumped authorities, said Sheriff Chuck Wright, first elected a year after the murders. If it wasn't for Him answering our prayers and Todd talking to us, I don't know that we'd ever solve that case," Wright said. Wright says Kohlhepp also showed law enforcement officers Saturday where he says he buried two of his other victims on his 95-acre property near Woodruff.
ABC NewsEven though both candidates are remarkably unpopular, there's more affirmative voting for Clinton than for Trump, a factor that can motivate turnout. The difference is particularly striking on Clinton’s other advantage: Ninety-seven percent of her supporters say she has the better personality and temperament to serve effectively as president.
Good Morning AmericaI've just come back from a long trip. I was going to tell you about something that happened on it. It'll have to wait, as I've just been assaulted by an extraordinary article in the Tampa Bay Times. It's all about one American airline whose planes break down in flight a little more often than anyone else's. Actually, you might even say this airline's planes break down during flight a lot more often. Four times more often. (I pause for your gulping and ululation) I confess to being a touch taken aback that one airline could have such an outstanding record. Yet here is Allegiant Air, whose planes seem to show rather less allegiance to mechanical fortitude that you wish they would. I'll offer you

ElleIn 1946, two Swedes named Hugo Abramson and Harald Jentzen designed the Carl Gustaf, which at the time appeared to be just another recoilless rifle like the famous bazooka. Many of these weapons fell out of use in the following decades as anti-tank missiles took over. But the Carl Gustaf stuck around - and for a different role than Abramson and Jentzen had planned in the 1940s. For one, it’s now just as much an anti-infantry weapon owing to its range, low cost and types of ammunition. Soldiers are fond of the 84-millimeter Carl Gustaf, and it’s easy to see why. The weapon is quite practical for dismounted infantry - especially at long ranges - and creates a thrilling blast, so it’s fun to shoot.
The National InterestThe suspect charged with the kidnapping of Kala Brown, who was found chained alive in a metal shipping container on Thursday, is due in court for a bond hearing on Sunday after confessing to the 2003 cold case murders of four people in Chesnee, South Carolina, according to several reports.

While Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Facebook Inc. (FB) may seem to be headed in opposite directions with respect to growth, it turns out that both companies have arrived to similar crossroads, with similar risk and similar opportunity. Specifically, Wehner said the company expects that “ad load will play a less significant factor driving revenue growth after mid-2017” and that, going forward, Facebook expects to “see ad revenue growth rates come down materially” (Investopedia). Facebook Inc. generates more than 90% of its revenue from advertising and the company noted, again, that ad load, which is the number of ads each user is shown, will be decreasing in the future.
