In the deadliest attack against Indian forces in more than a decade, militants sneaked into an army encampment in the disputed territory of Kashmir early Sunday and opened fire on sleeping soldiers, killing at least 17 and wounding dozens. The four assailants, who also threw grenades that caused tents and temporary shelters to catch fire at the army brigade headquarters at Uri, were killed in a gun battle with security forces that lasted six hours, authorities said. Indian officials blamed the Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed for the attack, saying it had recovered weapons from the assailants that carried Pakistani markings. Lt. Gen. Ranbir Singh, the director of military operations, said he contacted his Pakistani counterpart to convey "serious concerns." Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh was more pointed, saying on Twitter: "Pakistan is a terrorist state, and it should be identified and isolated as such."

An explosion that injured 29 people in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood was an "intentional act," but there so far are no concrete links to international terrorist groups, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday. Speaking to reporters at the scene, Cuomo said that investigators had found no links to international terrorist groups, but added that "a bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism." He said the state planned to deploy 1,000 state police and National Guard officers to patrol the city's train stations and public areas ahead of New Yorkers returning to work on Monday. The increased security, the governor said, was to "err on the side of caution. We want New Yorkers to be confident that New York is up and running and we're doing everything we can" to keep them safe.

Each fall, groggy teenagers resign themselves to another year of fighting their body clocks so they can get to class on time. It's well known that teens who don't get at least eight hours of sleep a night face a slew of problems. That's why both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control recommend shifting middle- and high-school start times to 8:30 a.m. or later. Yet during the 2011-12 school year -- the most recent statistics available -- only 17.7 % of the nation's public middle, high and combined schools met the 8:30 a.m. In California, the average start time was 8:07 a.m.

At least eight people were taken to a hospital with injuries after a stabbing attack at a Minnesota shopping mall on Saturday evening, which ended with the suspected assailant dead inside the mall. Seven of the eight people brought to St. Cloud Hospital had injuries that were not life-threatening, hospital spokesman Chris Nelson told the St. Cloud Times. No further details were released. Jason Burke said the Crossroads Center mall remains locked down. "The individual we believe to be responsible for the victims' stab wounds is currently deceased inside the mall," Burke said in a statement.

"In the time of your life, live -- so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it." "We wanted something that was uplifting and also spoke to a much broader audience," said photographer Levon Parian, one of a team who created the monument. The five-ton piece was sculpted by Glendale architect Vahagn Thomasian from volcanic rock quarried from Armenia's Ararat Valley. The split in the monument represents the disruption of the 1915-18 genocide, which claimed the lives of about 1.2 million Armenians under the Ottoman Empire, which became the modern republic of Turkey. The Turkish government disputes that a genocide took place.

An explosion in the crowded Chelsea neighborhood of New York City on Saturday night left 25 people with minor injuries, authorities said. Police spokesman J. Peter Donald said on Twitter that the blast happened about 8:30 p.m. on West 23rd Street, a major thoroughfare with many restaurants. Donald said several of the injured were taken to hospitals. The Fire Department tweeted that none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening. No information about the extent of the damage was immediately available.

Governments worldwide are actively promoting the use of renewable energy because of the growing concern over climate change and carbon emissions. Among the available renewable energy sources, harnessing energy through wind turbines offers a compelling alternative. There are a growing number of wind farms throughout the world now, and, as the industry matures at a rapid pace, it is increasing its focus on operational efficiency and cost-competitiveness. Given the inherent variability in wind energy production, the ability to analyze the data generated by wind turbines to characterize historical behavior and create a framework to predict future performance can be a critical asset and business differentiator.

Elos Medtech Pinol in Gørløse, Denmark, is one of Europe's leading development and production partners for medical technology products and components. In recent years, increasing demands for quality, process documentation, and product consistency have forced customers to use fewer suppliers. Customers have selected Elos Medtech Pinol largely due to targeted optimization, standardization, and automation in the last decade. The automated factory – a mantra used within the company that impacts all employees – includes ambitious investments in user-friendly and flexible production equipment and the latest automation technology, including an MiR100 robot from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR). In 2011, Danish robot scientist Niels Jul Jacobsen came up with a new product idea that a few years later was transformed into a product that handles internal transport logistics.

Russia and Syria on Saturday accused U.S.-led forces of launching an airstrike that killed 62 Syrian soldiers and wounded more than 100 at an air base in eastern Syria. U.S. Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, said in a statement that American warplanes carried out a strike south of Dair Alzour but it could not confirm that they hit Syrian forces. "Coalition forces believed they were striking a Daesh fighting position that they had been tracking for a significant amount of time before the strike," the statement said, using an Arabic acronym for Islamic State. "The coalition airstrike was halted immediately when coalition officials were informed by Russian officials that it was possible the personnel and vehicles targeted were part of the Syrian military." There have been fears that the U.S. military could accidentally strike Syrian or Russian forces since the air campaign against Islamic State began more than two years ago.

A pipe bomb exploded in a Jersey Shore town Saturday shortly before thousands of runners were due to participate in a charity 5-kilometer race to benefit Marines and sailors, authorities said. No injuries were reported in the blast at Seaside Park around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County prosecutor's office. He also said no surrounding structures suffered any apparent damage. The third annual Semper Five run was canceled and the immediate area was put on lockdown. The pipe bomb was in a plastic garbage can when it exploded, Della Fave said.
