3 victims identified in Missouri slayings

Police on Saturday identified three victims of a mass shooting in Tyrone, Mo., on Thursday night that resulted in eight deaths, including that of the gunman.
The three victims identified Saturday were Darrell Dean Shriver, 68; Carey Dean Shriver, 46; and Valirea Love Shriver, 44.
Carey and Valirea Shriver were married, according to a news release from James Sigman, sheriff of Texas County, Mo. Darrell Shriver was Carey Shriver's father, according to the release.
A 67-year-old woman survived the shooting and is recovering, Sigman said.
Joseph Jesse Aldridge, 36, of Tyrone was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the shooting rampage about 60 miles from the Arkansas line that killed seven people, including two of his cousins and their wives.
Those victims, identified by police Friday, were Garold Dee Aldridge, 52; his wife, Julie Ann Aldridge, 47; Harold Wayne Aldridge, 50; and his wife, Janell Arlisa Aldridge, 48, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The shootings began after Joseph Aldridge's mother died. The death of Alice L. Aldridge, 74, appeared to be "of natural causes," according to a news release Friday. A postmortem examination was to be performed on the body of Alice Aldridge on Saturday.
The shooting was reported at 10:15 p.m. Thursday. The Texas County sheriff's office requested assistance from the Highway Patrol after a girl called saying she was in a house and heard gunshots.
She fled to a neighbor's house and called police, according to a news release.
All of the victims' residences are within a 3-mile radius in Tyrone, an unincorporated community of about 50 residents.
Joseph Aldridge was found dead before dawn Friday in a running pickup in the middle of the highway in neighboring Shannon County, the victim of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
Police said Aldridge used a .45-caliber handgun during the shootings.

Qualcomm teases Snapdragon 820 while launching Sense ID fingerprint scanner

Qualcomm has announced a new fingerprint scanner destined for smartphones, called Sense ID , which uses ultrasonic sound waves to map the surface of your finger. Previous methods of fingerprint recognition used high-resolution capacitive sensors, but switching to ultrasonic sensors has a number of benefits. Firstly, these types of sensors are more accurate than their capacitive counterparts, as they're able to recognize the pores and ridges on your finger for increased security. They're also not as susceptible to moisture as previous sensors, and can work through glass, sapphire, plastic and even metal. Sense ID sensors will be compatible initially with Snapdragon 810 and 425 SoCs, although you'll eventually see them supported across the entire range of Snapdragon 400, 600 and 800 series SoCs.  As well as launching Sense ID, Qualcomm has teased their upcoming flagship SoC,  the Snapdragon 820 . Qualcomm has designed their own 64-bit capable ARMv8 cores for this SoC...

RPT - INSIGHT-Near Fed majority backs June liftoff Yellen hasn't yet endorsed

(Repeats for additional subscribers) By Howard Schneider (Reuters) - Janet Yellen's premium on consensus may lead to a Federal Reserve decision the chair hasn't yet endorsed, as a near majority aligns in favor of a possible June interest rate hike. Seven of the Fed's current 17 members have now said they at least want the option of a June tightening on the table, or have pushed in general for an earlier increase amid an expectation that wages and inflation will turn higher. By contrast, there's a dwindling core of officials who say publicly that the  economy  and labor markets in particular still have a long way to go -- only four Fed members have in recent weeks clearly said that rate hikes won't be appropriate until much later in the year or even into 2016. The five members of the Fed's Washington-based board of governors, including Yellen, have spoken less definitively, though governors including Jerome Powell have said they expected strong job gro...

The Bachelor Women Tell All Special

I've been waiting on the Women Tell All Special since episode two. The personalities this season have been phenomenal. Obviously, I was most excited to watch Kelsey use big words to back track on her assertion that her husband's death was an amazing story, and for Carly and Britt to get awkward. It all happened, and it was great. I think the best thing about this episode was the screen shots, so I'll include those. 1. Chris starts asking the girls questions, and Jillian jumps in to scream at Carly that Britt is the most genuine person she knows. Why can't we get a black box over Jillian's mouth? Samantha and Trina decide to speak finally, better late than never, and both are actually quite sassy. 2. I'll say something nice first, it looks like Britt showered for this. Britt has mastered the art of a crying face, without water actually coming out of her eyes. Crying makes me uncomfortable, ergo Britt makes me uncomfortable. She's mostly concerned about...
