Filibuster broken against abortion bill

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? Texas' lieutenant governor has suspended a filibuster against wide-ranging abortion restrictions, but Democrats moved quickly to appeal the decision.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst made the decision Tuesday night after determining that Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis strayed off the topic.

Democrats immediately appealed the decision and set off a heated debate about the rules and whether they could vote on the bill.

Xbox Music For Windows 8.1 Preview Adds Pandora-Like Radio Feature

xbox-muusic-previewOne of the redesigned apps Microsoft is introducing in the Windows 8.1 Preview is an update to its Xbox Music app that now puts the emphasis back on your own music – whether in the cloud or on your local machine – and less on music discovery, which the previous version focused on. When you first open the app, you’ll immediately notice that it’s now designed around your music collection, and while the ‘explore’ feature is still available, it has been somewhat de-emphasized in this update. As Microsoft notes, this new version now lets you play your music with just two clicks, while before, it often took six clicks or more to listen to your collection. The main new feature in this update, however, is the introduction of a Pandora-like radio feature that lets you pick any song in the Xbox Music collection and start a new station with related results. This feature, it’s worth noting, is even available when you don’t have an Xbox Music subscription. This means, of course, that you will have to watch an ad every now and then, similar to when you listen to other free radio-like services. One thing Xbox Music doesn’t seem to allow you to do, however, is to vote songs up or down to influence the song selection for a given station. In return, though, there doesn’t seem to be a limit on how many songs you can skip per hour per station. Turning Websites Into Playlists The coolest feature of Xbox Music, however, is sadly not in the Windows 8.1 Preview yet. At a press event before today’s official unveiling Microsoft showed a feature that allows you to take a website about music (think a top-10 list, review, set list or something similar) and automatically turn it into a playlist for Xbox Music. From Internet Explorer, you can simply invoke the regular Share charm, click on ‘Music’ and the service will scan the page for artists’ names, songs and other information to put together this playlist. Microsoft says this feature will launch “by the end of this year” but didn’t provide an exact date. It’s fair to assume that it’ll be available by the time the final version of Windows 8.1 launches.

Germany probes model plane attack suspects

BERLIN (AP) ? German prosecutors said Tuesday they are investigating two men suspected of planning terrorist attacks using model airplanes, and authorities in Germany and neighboring Belgium conducted a series of searches.

No one was arrested in Tuesday's raids, which were carried out to gather "evidence for possible attack plans and preparations" and information on terrorist financing, federal prosecutors said in a statement.

Prosecutors said the investigation involves possible charges of "preparation of a serious, state-threatening act of violence," but not membership of or supporting any terrorist organization.

In all, nine properties were searched in the Stuttgart and Munich areas of southern Germany, in eastern Germany's Saxony state and in Belgium.

The two men of Tunisian origin are suspected of "procuring information and objects to commit Islamic extremist explosive attacks with remote-controlled model airplanes," prosecutors added. They gave no further information on the two men and didn't identify them.

The apartments of four acquaintances of the men, suspected of financing Islamic extremism, were searched in Germany. The investigation also targets a further acquaintance suspected of money laundering. None of the suspects was identified.

Last November a U.S. man, Rezwan Ferdaus, was sentenced to 17 years in prison over a plot to fly remote-controlled model planes packed with explosives into the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

Germany has seen only one successful attack by an Islamic radical ? the fatal shooting of two U.S. airmen at Frankfurt airport in 2011 by a Kosovo native who grew up in Germany and became radicalized on his own by watching jihadist propaganda on the Internet.

However, there have been several attempted attacks in the country, which is a major contributor to international forces in Afghanistan.

Separately Tuesday, French authorities said police detained six people in the Paris region on suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks in France.
