It was after dusk one evening this month when the Marine casualty assistance officer knocked on the door of the home of Kathy and William Angus in Thonotosassa, Fla. The Marine was bearing bad news. Again. The last time, a similar knock from the same Marine had signaled a death knell. Their son, Sgt. Daniel M. Angus , 28, married and daddy to a little girl, had been blown apart by a bomb in Afghanistan. But that was almost two years ago. What did this solemn Marine standing outside want now?

KABUL, Afghanistan — Sixty-six U.S. troops have died in Afghanistan so far this month, making August the deadliest month for American forces in the nearly decade-long war. Nearly half of the troops killed died on Aug. 6 when the Taliban shot down a Chinook helicopter in eastern Afghanistan. That was the single deadliest event of the war and sent the monthly total soaring, according to a tally by The Associated Press. The 30 American service members — most of them elite Navy SEALs — were aboard the helicopter as it flew in to help Army Rangers who had come under fire. Most of the SEALs who died were from the same unit that killed bin Laden, although none of the men took part in that mission. Read full article > >

Complaining of abdominal discomfort and chronic bronchitis, 22-year-old Toshia Johnson, an unemployed mother on Medicaid, went to a hospital emergency room in Bend, Ore., more than two dozen times in the year that ended in June 2010. She was never admitted to the hospital and used the ER for routine care because, she says, it’s near her home and the care was free. But in the first six months of this year, after entering a state-funded program designed to reduce unnecessary ER use by Medicaid patients in central Oregon, Johnson has gone to the ER just once, after breaking her tailbone. In the first half of this this year, ER visits by the 400 patients in this program have declined by more than half from the same period last year, saving Medicaid $1 million, officials say.

NASA’s ocean-watching Aquarius sensor soared into space Friday morning on a mission to fill critical gaps in understanding how the Earth’s oceans affect the planet’s climate. In a key success for NASA’s climate science program , the Aquarius device achieved orbit aboard an Argentine-built satellite, called SAC-D. Two previous Earth-watching NASA craft crashed after launching from the same site, Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. “Elated would be an understatement,” said Gary Lagerloef, chief scientist for Aquarius, shortly after launch engineers confirmed that the satellite was circling Earth in the proper orbit. “Of course, everyone was really apprehensive.” Read full article > >

TOKYO — Japan’s unemployment rate in April rose for the first time in six months, while the nation’s industrial production rebounded weakly from a record drop following March’s earthquake and tsunami. Auto production plunged 60.1 percent in April from the same month a year ago because of manufacturing disruptions caused by supply shortages. But output was seen picking up strongly in May and June as automakers and other manufacturers get back on line. The jobless rate edged up to 4.7 percent from 4.6 percent in March due to job losses in the retail and wholesale sectors, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said Tuesday. The number of workers in those sectors dropped in April by 390,000 from a year earlier. Read full article > >
