Hundreds of young men are sleeping on the streets of Queens Sunday night for a shot at a job.

CBS2's Ali Bauman reported they are waiting for an application to the Plumbers Union Apprenticeship Program. One thousand applications are handed out in order Monday morning. After tests and interviews, only a percentage are accepted to the five-year program.

"It's a long shot, so hopefully I get it," Anthony Hughes said.

Signs on the training center tell applicants not to camp out, but if they listen, they don't really have a shot, like Mauricio Cruz who showed up Sunday afternoon.

"I walked up, added every chair and three for every tent and came out to 1,226," Cruz said. "I know I'm after that. It's insane. I don't know if I'm gonna wait."

Many of the applicants waited through the rain on Saturday and the stifling heat on Sunday. Most are already plumbers looking for a promotion.

"The 'A' guys top out at $67 an hour. The 'B' guys top out at $40 an hour," Anthony Sala said.

Despite Bernie Sanders' endorsement of Hillary Clinton, the party faces fears of civil war: 'It's important for progressives not to be taken for granted'

No sooner had the question been posed of where angry young activists would go after the Bernie Sanders campaign than a group of angry young activists provided the answer: to the streets.

The surprise walk-out of protesters from a conference of US progressives in St Louis this weekend forced the cancellation of its panel on "translating millennial votes into power". But here was more vivid testimony. Despite Sanders urging his supporters to back Hillary Clinton in an official endorsement a few days earlier, the energy once captured by his campaign - and beyond it, in the Black Lives Matter protests - appeared already to be slipping out of the hands of Democrats.

Hands Up United - a group born of anti-police violence protests in nearby Ferguson - brought both the Netroots convention and surrounding freeways to a standstill, accusing the largely white delegates of becoming "occupiers" in the "disunited States of America". "Mic check, mic check," they chanted, in an echo of the Occupy movement that used voices in the street to amplify its message.

Across the corridor in another unofficial Netroots spin-off, a different group of activists were plotting to do the same on a bigger stage in Philadelphia, where the Democratic party is holding its national convention in a week's time. Democracy Spring is planning non-violent civil disobedience on a daily basis, scheduling sit-ins and mass arrests until the party promises to scrap the system of super-delegates that so enraged Sanders supporters during the long and bitter nomination contest.

Players of Pokemon Go are not only giving up their right to act like sane human beings in public, as they walk around, zombie-esque, reaching into the phones held in front of their faces, they are also likely to be waiving legal rights if they don't take a very close look at Niantic Labs' Terms of Service for the game.

As spotted earlier by The Consumerist, an arbitration notice states that Pokemon Go users automatically agree to waive their rights to any future trial by jury or class action lawsuit unless they opt out of a binding clause in the T&Cs...

ARBITRATION NOTICE: EXCEPT IF YOU OPT OUT AND EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN THE "AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE" SECTION BELOW, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND NIANTIC WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

To opt out of the legal rights waiver, users need to email termsofservice@nianticlabs.com or can send regular mail to 2 Bryant St., Ste. 220, San Francisco, CA 94105.

But the opt out process is only valid if exercised within 30 days following the date a user first accepted the T&Cs.

Having a short opt-out window for legal rights embedded within T&Cs which the vast majority of users won't read before clicking 'I agree' and rushing into their neighbor's garden to try to catch a pikachu is a very aggressive stance.

President of the Cleveland Police Patrolman's Association, Steve Loomis, called upon Ohio Governor John Kasich to suspend laws that permit the open carry of firearms at the Republican National Convention, which begins on Monday. Loomis's request came hours after six police officers were shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The police union leader said he wouldn't mind temporarily breaking the law in order to protect police officers, who enforce laws, at least in theory.

Loomis told Reuters, "I don't care what the legal precedent is, I feel strongly that leadership needs to stand up and defend these police officers."

In an interview with CNN, Loommis said, "We are sending a letter to Gov. Kasich requesting assistance from him. He could very easily do some kind of executive order or something—I don't care if it's constitutional or not at this point."

From beautiful women to ping-pong shows and lady boys, Thailand has long been a lure for sex tourists. That, however, will soon seemingly come to an end.

Thailand's tourism minister, Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul, has pledged to bring an end to the country's sex industry.

Kobkarn said she wants Thailand to be about quality tourism. "We want the sex industry gone," she said. "Tourists don't come to Thailand for such a thing. They come here for our beautiful culture."

Thailand's millions of sex tourists would disagree.

Although prostitution is illegal in Thailand, and has been for close to 70 years, the country is home to a large sex trade. While the majority of customers are Thai men, the industry also thrives on foreign visitors who come for companionship, thrills and even wives.

Kobkarn, who has been in office since 2014, has had plans to tackle the industry since being appointed.

A gunman killed three Baton Rouge police officers on his birthday, CBS News reports.

Sources told CBS News the suspect was identified as Gavin Eugene Long, a 29-year-old black man from Kansas City, Missouri. He was born July 17, 1987.

According to CBS News, Long was honorably discharged from the Marines in 2010 after serving since 2005, reaching the rank of sergeant. He served in Iraq from June 2008 to January 2009, and records show he received several medals during his military career, including one for good conduct.

This is the second time in just over a week that a former member of the military killed police officers. Micah Johnson, the gunman who killed five Dallas police officers, was an Army veteran.

A Maryland judge has ruled that Lieutenant Brian Rice is not guilty of all three charges he faced in the case of Freddie Gray. Rice was the highest-ranking Baltimore police officer charged over Gray's in-custody death.

Rice, 42, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment that led to the death of Gray from a broken neck in a police van in April 2015. The charges carry a sentence of at least 15 years in prison.

He was acquitted on all charges.

I don't need simulated drama in my life. When you stand up and speak out, more of the real thing will find you than you could possibly want.

Since I stopped working in the corporate world, I don't even carry a mobile phone. I have one, but it is permanently in airplane mode, has no sim card, and I don't take it anywhere. I use it as an alarm clock.

When I go for a walk, I actually look where I am going.

I'm used to being walked at by apparently brainwashed automata oblivious to their surroundings tapping furiously into their phones. I make no attempt to walk round these zombies. If one walks into me I stop and I stand there till it enters consciousness sufficiently to move around me.

But I noticed - beginning in the park a little while back - a new type of living dead. This new model moved with a purpose I had not seen before, and often in a pack. I even saw them running. They seemed to be on an invisible paper chase.

And now I know: they are playing Pokémon Go.

France's premier Manuel Valls was booed by crowds that had gathered for a minute of silence in the city of Nice to honor the memory of the 84 killed in the deadly attack on Bastille Day.

"Resignation!" "Murderers" was shouted by the crowds before and after the ceremony.

These words were in contrast with those the crowds had for the firefighters responsible for French rescue services, who were applauded with shouts of "Thank you firefighters!"

After the cannons fired at the end of the ceremony, the crowds sang a grim, slow version of the national anthem "La Marseillaise."

Thousands across the country paid their respects during the nationwide minute of silence.

Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch has been strangled to death by her brother, who eventually admitted to having committed the crime. The young woman's posts defied tradition in Pakistan and defended liberal views.

Baloch's brother, Muhammad Waseem, admitted to strangling the young woman after giving her a pill to subdue her. "I have no regrets," he told reporters at a press conference organized by police, as quoted by Reuters.

Waseem said he murdered his sister because of her social media activities, including posting a video in which Baloch sits on the lap of a prominent Muslim cleric.

"Qandeel Baloch has been killed; she was strangled to death by her brother. Apparently it was an incident of honor killing,"Sultan Azam, a senior police officer in Multan, told AFP.
