Police: Man douses girlfriend in perfume, sets her afire

By Becky Bratu, Staff Writer, NBC News

A Pennsylvania man accused of pouring perfume on his girlfriend and setting her on fire in an apparent domestic dispute was arrested Saturday, Pittsburgh's WTAE reported.?

Springdale police said 22-year-old Maria Redman was burned on more than 30 percent of her body early Thursday morning when 27-year-old Clinton Cohen threw perfume on her and then lit her on fire with a cigarette lighter, according to WPXI. Cohen then threw a blanket at Redman and walked out of the apartment.

According to police, the couple's infant daughter was at home in a crib when the incident occurred.

?It was a verbal domestic dispute and he began choking her, then punched her,? Lt. Jeff Korczyk told WPXI. ?Cohen then opened a bottle of perfume, poured it over the victim and lit it with a cigarette lighter.?

Korczyk said the daughter had some blood spatter on her from her mother.

Officials said Redman remains in the hospital in critical, but stable condition.

Cohen has been charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children.

Mali: 6 killed in bomb as fighting rages in north

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) ? A suicide car bombing killed six government allies in the northern city of Kidal, as French confirm that they are engaged in heavy fighting in northern Mali.

The suicide bomber exploded his vehicle Tuesday evening at a checkpoint at an entrance to Kidal, said Ag Alghabas Intalla, a leader of the Islamic Movement of Azawad, or MIA, reached by phone in Kidal. He said he counted six dead and others wounded. The MIA group is fighting with the Malian army and French troops against Islamic extremists.

Responsibility for the suicide attack has not been claimed, but it is suspected to be the work of the Islamic extremists of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, or MUJAO.

French troops are involved in "very violent fighting" in the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains of northeastern Mali, said France's defense minister Tuesday. Jean-Yves Le Drian said that it's too early to talk about a quick French pullout from Mali, despite the growing cost of the intervention.

The French intervention in Mali has cost more than ?100 million ($133 million) since it started Jan. 11, said Le Drian on France's RTL radio.

"We are now at the heart of the conflict," in protracted fighting against Islamic extremist rebels in the Ifoghas mountains, Le Drian said.

While some expected the 4,000-strong French force to pull out next month, Le Drian said he couldn't talk about a quick withdrawal while the mountain fighting goes on. A clash in the area killed 23 soldiers from neighboring Chad last week, according to French President Francois Hollande, who expressed condolences to his Chadian counterpart.

Soldiers from Chad and a few other African countries have joined the French-led operation to help Mali's weak military push back the Islamic extremists who had imposed harsh rule on northern Mali and started moving southward toward the capital, Bamako, last month.

Ag Ghali's armed extremists conquered much of northern Mali after a military coup in Mali's capital, aided by al-Qaida's North Africa wing. In Timbuktu, they imposed strict Shariah law and forced thousands to flee; others were tortured and executed. But the French-led intervention in January brought the Islamic radicals to quit the northern cities of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal and retreat to mountainous hideouts near the Algeria border.

In the first weeks of the campaign, French and Malian forces easily took back cities in northern Mali. But the fighting is rougher now that it has reached more remote terrain in the mountains of the southern Sahara.

At the United Nations in New York, a top U.N. humanitarian official said Tuesday that as security improves in Mali, the world must seize the moment to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid.

John Ging, a senior humanitarian affairs official who just visited Mali, said that country's northern region is stabilizing but needs help re-opening schools, markets and health clinics. The U.N. is appealing for $373 million in aid, but has only received $17 million.

Even before fighting erupted last year among government forces, Taureg rebels and radical Islamists, Ging said Mali was suffering from the severe food crisis that has hit Africa's arid Sahel region.

Ging said more than 430,000 Malians have been displaced.

On Tuesday, the Obama administration imposed sanctions on an Islamic rebel leader whose extremist group seized much of northern Mali last year and prompted the French military intervention. The United States State Department designated Iyad Ag Ghali, head of the Islamic group Ansar Dine, a global terrorist. The action blocks any assets he holds in the U.S. and prohibits Americans from doing business with him.

The United Nations also added Ag Ghali to its global sanctions list.

MWC memo: 'Time to seek new NCAA leadership?'

By Dennis Dodd | Senior College Football Columnist

11:46 AM ET February 22, 2013

A memo questioning NCAA leadership has circulated internally among Mountain West presidents, CBSSports.com has learned.

The memo is directed at Fresno State president John Welty, who has served on both of the NCAA's main governing bodies that are responsible for oversight and setting policy -- the executive committee and board of directors. CBSSports.com obtained contents of the email memo from a source who did not want to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the correspondence.

"Is it time for the presidents to seek new NCAA leadership or a new organization?" it reads. "The NCAA has evidenced decisions that focus on trivial and penalize our athletes. The salaries for the NCAA leadership are excessive and an embarrassment to the Mountain West schools. Their decision making is cumbersome and oblique."

The memo begins by referring to Welty as "our rep to the NCAA." Welty is a current member of the board, an 18-member body -- 11 of whom are FBS CEOs. Welty also served on the executive committee, comprised of CEOs from FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III.

Both bodies' power extend to the highest level. For example, both signed off on the Penn State penalties and, in the past, have reviewed schools' uses of offensive nicknames. NCAA president Mark Emmert reports to both the executive committee and board of directors.

Welty is retiring this year as the longest-tenured president in Fresno State's history (since 1991). He participated in the creation of the league in 1999, when it broke away from the 16-team WAC at the time. The Mountain West is among the so-called Group of Five conferences below the BCS level. Its current schools have been involved in major infractions cases seven times since 2000. Fresno State is the only school to be cited twice during that time (2003, 2006).

The MWC recently solidified its membership going forward in 2013 by retaining Boise State and San Diego State. The schools had jumped to the Big East last year but decided to remain in the MWC.

Emmert and the NCAA have been criticized recently for their decisions regarding Penn State and the Miami investigation.

Comparing iPad weather apps at a glance

18 iPad weather app current weather screens

Earlier in the week I compared the current weather screens of 27 popular iPhone weather apps, and in the spirit of equal time for expansive interfaces, here's the same thing for 18 popular iPad weather apps. The reason for the lower number is that not all of the iPhone apps had iPad versions -- Apple's own iOS weather app included! While some of the iPad versions are just bigger, others take advantage of the larger screen and broader aspect ratio to show not just bigger but more.

Like before, I used the exact same location and page, whenever possible, for each app. I paid for full versions of in-app purchases to disable ads when I could, and when it worked. If extended forecasts could be brought up on the same screen, I brought them up. I made them as comparable as possible.

Here they are, in order, from top left to bottom right, are:

• Today Weather, Check the Weather
• Weather 2x, The Weather Channel
• AccuWeather, Weather HD
• Weather Bug, Weather Live
• Dark Sky, eWeather HD
• Daily Weather HD+, Pocket Weather Australia
• Farenheit / Celsius, Thermo
• Weather+, Living Earth HD
• Magical Weather, swackett

The current weather screen isonly one aspect of a weather app, and doesn't cover features like radar, videos, etc. so as the title says, consider this only a glance at different design approaches. For more on the individual apps, check out our weather app review series.

That being said, which weather apps do you use, and are they the same ones that appeal to you most in the comparison above? Any of the weather screens attractive enough they encourage you check out an alternative app?

Italy 9 Wales 26: Davies and Cuthbert tries give Dragons comfortable win in Rome

By Matt Lloyd

PUBLISHED: 11:19 EST, 23 February 2013 | UPDATED: 18:00 EST, 23 February 2013

It may not be pretty but Wales are not about to give up their RBS Six Nations title without a fight. Gone are the swagger and flair synonymous with Welsh rugby and with it the days of glorious failure.

This is now a far more pragmatic Wales, putting substance before style and learning to win ugly. In torrential Roman rain, this victory was about as ugly as it gets.

Just as in Paris a fortnight ago, this display was about guts and determination to dig out the win as the scars of eight successive defeats begin to heal.

Full-stretch: Wales Alex Cuthbert break free clear of Kris Burton to dive over for their second try

Accurate: Wales' Leigh Halfpenny slotted over three penalties in the first-half

MATCH FACTS

Italy: Masi, Venditti, Benvenuti, Canale, McLean, Burton, Gori, Lo Cicero, Ghiraldini, Castrogiovanni, Pavanello, Minto, Zanni, Favaro, Manoa Vosawai.

Replacements: Geldenhuys for Minto (54), De Marchi for Lo Cicero (54), Giazzon for Ghiraldini (54), Garcia for Canale(63), Botes for Gori (65), Derbyshire for Favaro (69), ittadini for Castrogiovanni (70).

Not used: Orquera.

Pens: Burton 3.

Booked: Castrogiovanni

Wales: Halfpenny, Cuthbert, Jonathan Davies, Roberts, North, Biggar, Phillips, Gethin Jenkins, Hibbard, A. Jones, Coombs,? Evans, R. Jones, Tipuric, Faletau.

Replacements: James for Jenkins (45), A.W. Jones for Coombs (51), Owens for Hibbard (51), L. Williams for Phillips (63), Warburton for R. Jones (68), Hook for Biggar (68), S. Williams for Roberts (70), Mitchell for A. Jones (73),

Tries: Davies, Cuthbert.

Cons: Halfpenny 2.

Pens: Halfpenny 4.

Att: 73,526

Referee: Romain Poite (France).

It does not make for pleasant viewing but in the end the outcome was the same and few will be complaining if they return to Cardiff to face England on March 16 for the title.

Wales are proving hard to beat and if not for their horrendous opening half against Ireland, would now be more than halfway to another Grand Slam.

The title, however, remains in their sights after another win on the road, their fourth in a row. Happiest of all will be defence coach Shaun Edwards.

Not since Brian O'Driscoll squeezed over at the start of the second half of their opening game have Wales conceded a try.

Edwards said: 'We have excelled ourselves in defence to keep a clean sheet for the last two games and the only points we have conceded have been from scrum penalties. But a big part of defence is also to create turnovers and chances for our attack, and we did that again.'

Wales also showed a ruthless streak. In France they had one scoring chance and took it; here in Rome they had three and scored tries from two, through Jonathan Davies and Alex Cuthbert.

It was a measure of the game that when Davies touched down for the opening try after 44 minutes, it was his first touch of the ball.

A limited game swung in favour of Wales during a calamitous five minutes at the start of the second half, when Italy fumbled a clear scoring chance before Davies capitalised on a disastrous mix-up in the home defence.

Smash: Italy's Alessandro Zanni is tackled by Ryan Jones and Gethin Jenkins

Flower power: Wales supporters came in their numbers and some dressed up for the occasion

And the tie was ultimately decided while Italy's captain, Martin Castrogiovanni, watched from the sinbin after yet another scrum ended in a penalty.

Captain Ryan Jones said: 'It was a good day at the office for the scrum and we've got six very happy "lumpers" in the dressing room. But it was a great collective effort from all the forwards.'

Wales managed to silence the raucous home crowd with a promising start, though a penalty from the opening scrum allowed Kris Burton to cancel out Leigh Halfpenny's earlier effort.

Adam Jones, Richard Hibbard and Gethin Jenkins exacted their revenge with a series of devastating drives that twice enabled Halfpenny to kick Wales further ahead, to lead 9-3 after 20 minutes, though the lottery of the scrum allowed Burton to cut the gap before half-time.

Smiley: A delighted Jonathan Davies falls on the ball to give Wales their opening try

Given the handling skills, or lack of them, in the often torrential rain, it appeared the only way either side were going to score.

Cuthbert's fumble handed Italy an attacking position only for the home side to knock-on before Burton sliced his attempt to drop a goal.

Wales fared little better and Halfpenny pushed his effort wide before half-time then almost gifted Italy a try just 40 seconds into the second half.

Mike Phillips fumbled Burton's chip over the Welsh rush defence, Italy got a boot to the ball ahead of Halfpenny but Tommaso Benvenuti failed to collect, with the line at his mercy, under pressure from Dan Biggar.

Charge: Dan Bigger doing all he can to prevent Italy's Alberto De Marchi from an easy kick

Burton then sliced another drop-goal attempt from in front of the posts. Wales wasted no time in making the Italians pay. Biggar hoisted a speculative kick but had the tenacity to chase and regain possession.

Phillips capitalised on clear space behind with a clever chip and with Edoardo Gori and Burton looking to each other to sweep up, Davies picked up and touched down.

Burton clawed back a third penalty after Halfpenny had converted but momentum swung Wales' way when Poite brandished a yellow card for Castrogiovanni after yet another scrum went to ground.

Again Wales capitalised on the chance, kicking up field from where Biggar outfoxed the Italian defence with one well-aimed pass that found Cuthbert's angled run.

Italy could not lay a hand on the wing once he was clear and he darted into the corner for his seventh Test try.

Halfpenny expertly guided his conversion home from out wide and Wales were too smart - and Italy too limited - to make the final 19 minutes nothing less than a formality.

Grapple: Italy's Leonardo Ghiraldini wrestles with Toby Faletau

Tug: Cuthbert gets to grips with the fiery Martin Castrogiovanni

Celebrations: Wales players congratulate one another after scoring their second try
