Some Stuff For Saturday

A few things going on out there:

From the Express, a German newspaper picks the U.K.'s next prime minister.

From RFI, a Muslim singer withdraws from a French talent contest due to furor on social media.

From Russia Today, a Turkish helicopter is shot down in Syria.

From Deutsche Welle, Germany will not say how other E.U. countries should be run, says their next likely finance minister.

From Cyprus Mail, according to Cypriot M.E.P. Eleni Theocharous, her country could see a large increase in migrant flow.

From the Daily Mail, U.S. agents interrogate two of the ISIS "Beatles".

From the Evening Standard, Paris becomes a winter wonderland.

From Philly(dot)com, the current outbreak of flu is not yet officially a pandemic.

From the New York Post, a long-lost painting of a teenage Jacqueline Bouvier has been found.  (Miss Bouvier later became known as Jackie Kennedy, after she married JFK.  Since this portrait was painted when she was an unmarried teenager, I'm using her maiden name.)

From France24, the Irish party Sinn Fein gets a new leader.

From ABC News (the Australian variety), in Melbourne, a Bangla Deshi woman is charged over a stabbing incident.

From TechCrunch, startups like to use weird names.  (As weird a name as "Bigfoot"?  Probably not.)

From the Indy Star, the "weird and wonderful and commentary from Twitter" about the Olympic opening ceremonies.

And from Maxim, listen to Shaq lip-sync Beyonce.
