LOS ANGELES — TV stars from Westeros to the White House will hit the red carpet in Los Angeles on Sunday as "Game of Thrones" and "Veep" take their final tilts at Emmys glory.The long-running HBO smash hits helped the premium cable network raise the game for the small screen — with 74 Emmys between them, they are among the most decorated shows ever at television's answer to the Oscars.Both hope to add to their record hauls before they bow out at the glittering ceremony in downtown LA's Microsoft Theater.While the divisive final season of "Thrones" enraged many fans, it is the Television Academy's 24,000-plus voters who get to choose the winners.There is an "overwhelming" chance the blood-soaked fantasy epic will land the top drama...

Distant asteroid calamity shaped life on Earth 466 million years ago
WASHINGTON — The cataclysmic asteroid impact off Mexico's coast that doomed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago was not the only time an astronomical event shaped the history of life on Earth.Scientists on Wednesday said dust spawned by a gigantic collision in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter 400 million years earlier triggered an ice age on Earth that ushered in a significant increase in marine biodiversity.The event, occurring when life was concentrated in the seas and far before vertebrates first walked on land, set in motion evolutionary changes in invertebrates fundamental to marine ecosystems as they adapted to global cooling, they said.The inner solar system was filled with enormous amounts of dust after an asteroid more than 90 miles (150 km) in diameter was struck...

Morocco TV show censured for guest's boast of 'beating wife'
RABAT — A Moroccan television show has been suspended for allowing a celebrity guest to boast on air of "beating his wife", the country media authority said on Wednesday."Whoever doesn't beat his wife is not a man," popular singer Adil El Miloudi said in June on a Chada TV show, Kotbi Tonight, drawing laughter from a fellow guest, actor Samy Naceri, and host Imad Kotbi."In Morocco, this is normal, anyone can do what he wants with his wife, hit her, kill her," he insisted after Kotbi jokingly said: "It's forbidden to hit one's wife all over the world."Miloudi's remarks amounted to "justification for violence against women, an express incitement to violence, presented in a positive way as a sign of virility... or even recommended...
