A woman on a hunger strike near Paris' iconic Eiffel Tower says she won't end her protest until French President Francois Hollande steps down. Beatrice Bourges, who has been on a hunger strike since Sunday, has been particularly vocal about Hollande's split from long-time partner Valerie Trierweiler, after details of an affair he was having with an actress emerged in a French gossip magazine.

She said: "For the past year and a half, the president is bringing France to ruin. He has ruined france, and a great number of French people do not want that to continue until 2017."

She went on to admonish the president for his conduct over the affair, saying: ""The way he left her, asking her through the press to pack her bags, is absolutely inadmissible. And someone who is able to do that is able to bring the country to ruins, because he has absolutely no consideration and it proves he only thinks of himself."

Bourges was approached by police around 23.00 local time (2200 GMT) Monday, and was forced to move her protest elsewhere.

Seven Egyptian-Christians were found dead in an execution-style arrangement on a beach in eastern Libya on Monday.

According to the Libyan police, the victims were found with gunshot wounds to the head.

"They were killed by headshots in execution style," a Libyan police officer told Reuters. "We don't know who killed them."

In a statement, Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman Badr Abdul al-Ati denounced the crimes as "heinous" and said that Egypt "expects [Libya] to hand in the latest results of its investigation as soon as possible and bring those accused to justice," Al-Arabiya reported.

For many years, John and Mary took daily walks along a trail on a section of their property they nicknamed Saddle Ridge.

But last year, as they were walking their dog, they noticed an old can sticking out of the dirt. Curious, they brushed away some moss, used a stick to dig it out and carried the heavy container home.

And that's all it took for the couple living in California's gold country to discover a cache of 19th-century U.S. gold coins that rare coin experts say is the greatest buried treasure ever unearthed in the United States.

Donald Kagin, president of Kagin's Inc., a numismatic firm that specializes in U.S. gold coins, announced the discovery Tuesday. The company represents the couple, who want to remain anonymous.

Kagin said in a statement that eight of the rusty cans were filled with more than 1,400 rare and perfectly preserved U.S. gold coins dating from 1847 to 1894. Kagin said the coins have a face value of more than $28,000 but could sell for more than $10 million.

US schools are teaching 8-year-olds how to masturbate, and parents are outraged. The controversy surrounds the textbook titled "It's Perfectly Normal," which contains graphic illustrations of naked people of all ages. Some drawings depict children and adults masturbating and having intercourse. Do-it-yourself instructions are included.

US Common Core standards now require sexuality education from kindergarten through grade 12. To qualify for federal grants from the US Department of Education, public schools must adopt Common Core standards. According to the independent Heartland Institute, the Affordable Care Act has budgeted $75 million for sexuality education. Much of that has been granted to Planned Parenthood. With these funds, Planned Parenthood has hired sexuality teachers for public schools.

This academic year, Common Core has endorsed "It's Perfectly Normal" for fourth-grade public schools. Parents and teachers in Tennessee have opposed it. Reporter Victoria Jackson discussed the Tennessee controversy on clashdaily.com.

"I have lived with the guilt for 11 years. At last I no longer feel it was my fault."

These are the words of the first victim of probably Britain's most prolific serial rapist, the London black cab driver John Worboys, who went on to attack over a hundred women in five years between 2003 - 2008.

This mother has spoken publicly for the first time having brought an unprecedented case against the Metropolitan Police. She has carried on her shoulders the weight of feeling responsible for all the other victims. "The police should have done their job properly. They really convinced me it didn't happen. I don't want anybody else to go through what I've gone through."

However irrational that may sound, she's been haunted by that feeling for more than a decade. Her account would prove to be first of many similar stories in the future. But at the time it was the only one and police didn't believe it.

Anyone following the byzantine trials of Amanda Knox, the American exchange student accused with her onetime boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito of murdering her roommate in Perugia, will have noticed that criminal justice in Italy doesn't work the way it does in other countries. First they were guilty, then they weren't, now they are again. In the United States, this is commonly referred to as double jeopardy and is barred under the Constitution. In Italy, it's pretty much business as usual.

When the pair was first arrested, more than six years ago, they were left to rot in jail and for months - in Sollecito's case in solitary confinement - before charges were brought. They didn't qualify for bail because bail does not exist in Italy. The prosecution regularly leaked information to the media but did not formally share its investigative findings with the defendants or their lawyers until the summer of 2008, by which time the public was broadly convinced they were no ordinary college students, but rather, depraved sex addicts who had forced the victim, 21-year-old Meredith Kercher, into a satanic orgy before brutally stabbing her to death.

To this day, it remains doubtful whether evidence ever existed to substantiate such a scenario.

This is not good news.

Jim Crawford started New Morning Farm in Maryland many decades ago. He was young and idealistic. He had little or no money and had to start small. He believed in sustainable agriculture and wanted to produce fresh and healthy produce to sell in farmers' markets to the urban public. He succeeded and became increasingly well known both for his ideals and his produce.

This may be why the FDA picked him out for a site visit. An inspector appeared without warning and told him that his operation would have to change, according to the Los Angeles Times: "This is my badge. These are the fines. This is what is hanging over your head, and we want you to know that." It didn't matter that no health problem had ever been associated with Crawford's impeccably run operation.

Much of California is enduring extreme drought conditions that have left farmers hoping for any rain to water their crops. Prospectors say there's an upside to the harsh conditions, though, with the depleted conditions exposing previously invisible gold.

Gold was first discovered in California during the latter half of the 1840s, with hundreds of thousands of Americans making their way west from the congested east coast hoping to strike it rich. The gold-seekers - also known as 49ers, prospectors, and by a variety of other names - found so much of the metal that the total, while not known for sure, almost certainly is equivalent to tens of billions of dollars in today's currency.

Within a few short years the Gold Rush had become so saturated with prospectors that only a small fraction found enough wealth to justify their trip, never mind the fortune they sought. But now, 150 years later, the California drought that has left much of the state desperate for precipitation has inspired a number of people to try their luck again.

CBS' affiliate in Los Angeles reported that, as water in small creeks and streams throughout Southern California evaporates, more avenues for prospectors are becoming exposed. Gold is currently trading at $1,300 per troy ounce, which is enough of an incentive for families to spend their weekends sifting through the dirt.

"A lot of the time you would just see a husband. Now you're seeing the whole family," said Kevin Hoagland, a member of the Gold Prospectors Association of America. Many of the gold pieces he's found range in value from $5 to $200 apiece.

"While you may not make a fortune, it's a great way to spend time with the family," he said. "We can go back over some of the areas where old miners looked in the past and find gold that they missed."

Las Vegas - After attempts to find the driver of a car that ran down an elderly man at a service station have been unsuccessful, Las Vegas police have released a security camera video of the incident.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released the video on Thursday and are seeking the public's help in finding the driver who ran over an elderly man at the gas station. The driver is wanted on a charge of attempted murder.

According to Las Vegas police [PDF], the incident occurred around 11:38 a.m. on Feb. 6. The elderly victim had pulled into the gas station lot when a grey Honda Accord pulled in front of him, forcing him to swerve around the Honda.

After the victim finished at the pumps, he began walking to the store. The Accord started at him at a high rate of speed and stopped just short of the victim. The car then proceeded to hit and then run over the man. He can be seen on the video writhing in pain on the ground while the Accord keeps on going and leaves the station. Others at the gas station then come over to assist him.
