Caution...
Egyptian authorities have arrested a journalist who worked for Al-Jazeera for allegedly inciting and taking part in violence, the country's official news agency reported.
The Mena report said Abdel-Rahman Shaheen, detained in the Suez Canal area, was suspected of taking part and inciting attacks against police, including torching security vehicles. Quoting an unnamed security official, the agency said Shaheen had nine arrest warrants against him over alleged violent attacks.
The report identified him as a journalist who worked for the Muslim Brotherhood's now-banned newspaper and television station, as well as Doha-based Al-Jazeera.
Egypt's government declared the Brotherhood a terrorist. More than 1,600 are currently detained, facing trials on various charges.
Three of Al-Jazeera's English service journalists are being tried on terrorism-related charges.
No one is above the law, and Journalist ought to be more careful in reporting in a poor country, and uneducated masses. It may be hazardous.

Former interns from "Saturday Night Live" who filed a class action

court in New York.
The interns "received no compensation or compensation at a rate less than the applicable hourly minimum wage" while working for NBCUniversal, according to court documents.
The lawsuit was filed last year by former interns Monet Eliastam, Jesse Moore, Alexander Vainer and Rheanna Behuniak against NBC Universal, which is owned by Comcast (CCV).
The interns accused NBCUniversal of illegally classifying them as interns exempt from federal and state minimum wage and spread-of-hours pay.

Sweden's government instituted a military draft for both men and women, because of what its defense minister called a deteriorating security environment in Europe and around Sweden.
Sweden abolished compulsory military service for men in 2010 because there were enough volunteers to meet its military needs. It has never had a military draft for women.
The government said "the all-volunteer recruitment hasn't provided the Armed Forces with enough trained personnel. The re-activating of conscription is needed for military readiness."
In 2013, Neighboring Norway introduced a law applying military conscription to both sexes. Join the draft....
