There's a lot of relief amongst the team and there's a lot of happy faces."

Clashes after Friday prayers in Egypt
埃及周五祈祷后发生冲突
Supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi take to the streets in Cairo Friday -- chanting that the Muslim Brotherhood is no terrorist group. And then came the clashes. Anger and uproar spills into the streets days after the government declared that the Brotherhood was a terrorist organization. At least two people were killed in clashes. Student protests continued at several universities in Cairo and around the country. This comes despite the arrest of dozens of Muslim Brotherhood supporters before Friday prayers, with the government anticipating further protests despite having clamped down on dissent. Officials issued a new round of warnings that anyone taking part in protests to support the Islamist movement will be punished under terrorism laws. Some analysts warn the escalating crackdown on the Brotherhood risks triggering more violence in a country already facing the worst internal strife in its modern history.
周五，被推翻总统穆尔西的支持者走向开罗街头，高呼口号“穆斯林兄弟会不是恐怖组织”。然后引发了冲突。政府宣布兄弟会是恐怖组织后的几天，愤怒和骚动充斥着街道。至少2人在冲突中遇难。开罗和全国各地几所大学的学生继续抗议。尽管周五的祈祷之前穆斯林兄弟会几十名支持者被捕，抗议活动仍然如火如荼。政府预期，尽管严厉打击异见分子，抗议活动仍会继续。官员们发布了新一轮的警告，任何参加支持伊斯兰运动的抗议活动的人都将按照恐怖主义法律受到严惩。一些分析家警告称，对穆斯林兄弟会不断升级的镇压可能会引发更多暴力。这个国家已经面临现代史上最严者的国内冲突。

四川商场发生大火 附近居民被要求撤离
A massive explosion and fire at a shopping mall has killed four people and injured 40 in the city of Luzhou in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province. The fire has been brought under control and local authorities say it was caused by a gas leak. The injured, include five who were seriously hurt, are being treated at a local hospital.
The Thursday evening explosion shattered windows throughout the mall, littering the street with broken glass and debris. Many of the injured were hit by flying glass.
"We have received about 20 to 30 injured patients. They are being treated for different injuries including broken bones and lacerations," said Liu Peng, doctor at Luzhou Chinese Medicine Hospital.
More than 200 firefighters and 20 fire trucks responded to the blaze that engulfed a neighboring building. The fire was brought under control early Friday morning, but many who witnessed the explosion remain shaken. Ren Chuanjiang an electricrian at the mall was injured by the blast.
Some of the injured were pedestrians outside the mall and casualties would have likely been much higher if it had occurred during the day.
"As I drove by I heard a loud explosion from inside the mall and my car was hit by the flying glasses," said Shi Jiangao,taxi driver.
While the hospital says it has set up a special team to treat the seriously injured, few details are yet available on how those who died were killed.

Hollywood expecting box office boost
圣诞节好莱坞预期票房大涨
Hollywood, like everyone else, loves a good Christmas movie, and this holiday season is no exception. A plethora of films are being offered up to Americans, who have a little extra time and money on their hands.
For Americans the holiday season means many things: helping the needy hopping for deals, gift giving and taking from mall mob scenes to epic movie scenes from biopics like Mandela's Long Walk to Freedom tis also the season for a healthy helping of Hollywood entertainment.
It’s a time when the Hollywood studios pack the box office with theatrical stocking stuffers: big budget blockbusters,superhero sequels, animated 3D fantasies, Christmas family films and bona fide Oscar bait.
And this season is no different. Franchise films are "Catching Fire" with the Hunger Games-Two record-breaking run.
Not to mention other popular sequels like: Thor: the Dark World to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
And "Frozen" exceeded expectations. The animated three-D take on Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Snow Queen" set a Thanksgiving weekend debut record of 93-million dollars and counting. But with gritty dramas like American Hustle and Christmas comedies like The Best Man Holiday there’s a glut of movies vying for a piece of the box office pie.
But the hope for studios is to deliver the gift that keeps on giving through awards season, holiday season and ..possibly through future sequels to come.
