Huffington Post: U.S. Spied On 2010 Global Summit In Toronto, Report Suggests

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 08:00 PM PST

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian authorities allowed the National Security Agency to spy in the country during the G8 and G20 summits in Ontario in 2010, CBC News reported late Wednesday, citing documents shared by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

The national broadcaster's website said the documents show that the NSA used the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa as a command post for a nearly weeklong spying operation while President Barack Obama and other foreign leaders were in Canada in June 2010.

CBC reported that the documents don't mention precise targets of the U.S. spying operation but say that plans were "closely coordinated with the Canadian partner."

Huffington Post: 6 Things To Keep In Mind While Shopping On Amazon Black Friday

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 09:02 PM PST

If you plan on looking for online deals this Black Friday -- and if 2013 is anything like 2012, more than 57 million Americans will -- you'll likely visit a little website called Amazon.com.

Posted: 27 Nov 2013 09:05 PM PST

Those criticizing Jason Kidd's in-game inaction may need to revise their rebukes of the Brooklyn Nets' first-year coach. The Nets were attempting to pull off a fourth quarter rally against the Lakers in Brooklyn on Wednesday night when Kidd seemed to deliver a free timeout with a surreptitious slapstick move.

The Lakers were leading 96-94 with 8.3 seconds remaining and Jodie Meeks at the free throw line when Kidd appeared say "Hit me" to Brooklyn point guard Tyshawn Taylor. On cue, Taylor knocked into Kidd, who promptly dropped his beverage on the floor. As the allegedly accidental mess was cleaned up, the Nets, who were out of timeouts, had a reprieve to get organized for a final possession.
