9 of the smartest animals on Earth

They are also extremely resourceful animals that have been known to multi-task. Researchers from Canada and Scotland have shown that ravens use logic to understand their surroundings in a way that may surpass the ability of the great apes. The crow, a close cousin to the raven, is also an extremely smart bird. 2. Dolphins A pod of dolphins swim in the ocean. (Photo: Willyam Bradberry/Shutterstock) Dolphins are well-documented as intelligent animals.

Presidency off agenda in peace talks:Syria

Presidency off agenda in peace talks:Syria The Syrian government has ruled out discussion of the presidency at peace talks, calling President Bashar al-Assad a "red line" and saying the opposition was deluded if it thought it could take power in Geneva.

ACTIVISTS FORCED TO SUBMIT TO SECRECY & FILE APPEAL IN LAWSUIT ALLEGING DOMESTIC MILITARY SPYING

John Jacob Towery In a major case involving significant allegations of domestic spying by the United States military, targeted activists have filed an appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. But no members of the press or public can read the appeal because the court forced plaintiffs to file it under seal. The lawsuit,  Panagacos v. Towery , accuses the Army of directing John Jacob Towery, who worked for the US Army Force Protection Division at Fort Lewis, to infiltrate a group called the Port Militarization Resistance (PMR) in Olympia and Tacoma in Washington. It also accuses the cities of Olympia and Tacoma of coordinating with the Army to violate the First and Fourth Amendment rights of activists. PMR organized demonstrations from 2006 to 2009 and engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience with the intention of preventing the shipment of Stryker vehicles or other military cargo to Iraq. A district court  dismissed  the case in June 2014. Essentially, t...
