WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has issued an emergency declaration and pledged disaster relief aid to Texas to help in the recovery efforts following this week’s deadly fertilizer plant explosion near Waco.
Obama’s order Friday night authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts in the town of West. Wednesday’s explosion at the West Fertilizer plant killed at least 14 people, injured more than 200 others and demolished buildings for blocks around.

According to Kendrick Lamar, people come to Los Angeles for the city’s “women, weed and weather.”
The Compton rapper follows a legacy of LA musicians singing about pot. From Snoop Dog to The Doors to Sublime, it’s clear that the SoCal music scene is all about hitting the “high” notes.
In honor of 4/20 (“Weed Day”) this year, we’ve compiled a playlist of our favorite SoCal stoned songs. A few of the tunes not on Spotify we added in videos above and below. What’s your favorite song to get “high” (on life, of course) to?

WATERTOWN, Mass. — Friday morning in the Boston area began in a tense silence, as the sprawling manhunt for an alleged teenaged terrorist forced city residents indoors for their own safety. Friday night, however, ended with spontaneous parades celebrating his capture.
As 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was pulled wounded from his backyard boat hideout and raced to Beth Israel Hospital in police custody, many Bostonians finally exhaled, after a devastating week that began with the double bombings at Monday’s Boston marathon. The suspect’s brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed Friday morning in a shootout with police.
“CAPTURED!!!” trumpeted the Boston Police Department on Twitter Friday night. “The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody.”
