    Hastings' 2010 portrait of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, showed the disdain of McChrystal and his staff for their superiors.

    Michael Hastings, an aggressive and iconoclastic journalist whose reporting exposed the vagaries of the war in Iraq and helped bring down the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, died early Tuesday in a car crash in Los Angeles, according to two of his employers. He was 33.

    Helen Brush Jenkins, who broke ground as a female news photographer at the L.A. Daily News in the early 1940s, was known for getting the shot she wanted.

    (KANSAS CITY, MO) - Prices in the West Region, as measured by the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers crept up 0.2 percent in May according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that the May increase was influenced by higher prices for electricity and shelter. Over the last 12 months, the Consumer Price Index advanced 1.3 percent. This marks the 18th consecutive month in which consumer prices rose by less than 3.0 percent on an annual basis in the West. Energy prices declined 2.7 percent, largely the result of a decrease in the price of gasoline. The index for all items less food and energy advanced 1.7 percent over the past year.

    (MESQUITE, Nev) - Mesquite Fire Rescue was able to extinguish a kitchen fire this morning before spreading to the rest of the home. The homeowner at 536 Eagle St called 911 reporting her kitchen was on fire and quickly hung up the phone. Upon arrival, Engine 11 (4 personnel) reported smoke showing from the front door with visible flames to the interior. Mesquite Fire Rescue established a water supply from a nearby hydrant and made entry to the structure. Rescue 31 (2 personnel) was assigned as the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT). Command (Chief 2) requested a callback resulting in the response of Rescue 11 with 3 additional Firefighters. Crews were able to achieve a knockdown within 4 minutes of initial arrival. While the kitchen was destroyed, the rest of the home only received minor smoke damage. The quick response of fire apparatus ensured no other homes were damaged and there were no injuries to the resident or responding firefighters. The Fire Investigator has determined the cause of the blaze to be accidental in nature.
