The Melbourne County Court sentenced former Catholic priest David Rapson to twelve and a half years in prison for raping young boys.  These crimes occurred between the 1970s and 1990s in the Catholic boarding schools where he taught, and the victims were as young as 11-years old.  He was found guilty of eight crimes in 2013 – but an appeals court last year through that out on a technicality, that the charges should have been held in separate trials.  Assuming the new convictions stick, Rapson will not be eligible for parole until 2023.

Typhoon Noul produced strong wind and heavy rain on the northeastern Philippines, flattening homes, downing trees, and causing power outages.  Two people are dead, electrocuted on a tin roof that was hit by a stray power line.  Known locally as Typhoon Dodong in the Philippine naming system, the Category Four storm packed sustain winds of 160 kilometers per hour with gusts of up to 195.  Despite the destruction, the storm brought much needed rain to rice and corn crops that were wilting under intense heat.  The storm will turn north towards Taiwan and southern Japan.

NATO is reviving the use of Cold War-style hotlines to the Kremlin, according to Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with the UK Guardian Newspaper.  This comes amidst an increase of intrusive Russian military flights over the Baltic Sea that some fear could easily be misinterpreted, and lead to overreactions.  At the same time, NATO headquarters has been emptying the offices of Russian delegates and liaison officers in an effort to curb potential spying.

Exit polls project Poland’s presidential election will go to a run-off, as no candidate got more than 50 percent of the vote.  Conservative incumbent President Bronislaw Komorowski came in second place to even more conservative challenger Andrzej Duda.  Surprising everyone was musician Pawel Kukiz getting just over 20 percent of the vote.  The lead singer of “Kukiz I Piersi (Kukiz and the Breasts)”, he idolizes 1980s American President Ronald Reagan, whose idiotic policies of tax cuts for the rich, militarism, and jingoism concealing the exporting of jobs overseas sent the nation’s economy into a 35-year tailspin (Reagan?  WTH is wrong with this country?).

A gunman killed three relatives and a neighbor before turning the weapon on himself, in what’s being described as a family dispute.  This happened in Wuerenlingen, a town near Zurich, Switzerland, a country with a fairly low homicide rate.  The gunman killed his former in-laws and brother in-law.  It’s not clear why the neighbor was shot.

Yemen’s ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh is making official what many suspected all along, that he is now in an alliance with the Houthi rebels that have taken control of the capital and much of the country since last year.  It’s an unusual alliance in the complicated world of Arab and Muslim groups – Saleh is a Sunni, and the Houthi are Shiite.  The Saudi-led coalition leading bombing runs against the Houthi are Sunni, and view the rebels as being Iranian puppets.  But coalition bombs destroyed Saleh’s home over the weekend, killing three guards.  Saleh led Yemen for three decades before being deposed in 2012.

A runner who went missing during yesterday’s 20-kilometer Wellington Trail Running Series has been located and rescued.  29-year old Susan O’Brien survived the night lost in the bush by drinking her breast milk and covering herself in dirt.  A helicopter with heat-sensing gear located her in New Zealand’s Rimutaka Forest Park.  Susan admits not having the best orientation skills, and police say she got lost when she accidentally left the main trail.
