Greece reaches deal with creditors, avoids euro exitBRUSSELS (AP) - Greece reached a deal with its European creditors Monday, pledging stringent austerity to avoid an exit from the euro and the global financial chaos that could have followed. The deal calls for Greeks, already reeling from harsh measures and economic decline, to cut back even further in exchange for more loans without which its financial system would surely collapse. The deal, which still needs approval from Greece's parliament, will be the country's third bailout in five years.
10 Things to Know for TodayYour daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. EUROZONE, GREECE SEAL DEAL ON BAILOUT
Iran talks hit final stage but deal remains elusiveVIENNA (AP) - Disputes over attempts to probe Tehran's alleged work on nuclear weapons unexpectedly persisted at Iran nuclear talks on Monday, diplomats said, threatening plans to wrap up a deal by midnight - the latest in a series of deadlines for the negotiations. The diplomats said two other issues still needed final agreement - Iran's demand for a lifting of a U.N. arms embargo and its insistence that any U.N. Security Council resolution approving the nuclear deal be written in a way that stops describing Iran's nuclear activities as illegal. They demanded anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the negotiations.
Walker to remind voters of union wins as he enters 2016 raceMADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has announced on social media that he's running for president, tweeting "I'm in." Walker, a Republican who built a national profile largely due to his clashes with labor unions, also released a campaign video at the same time Monday declaring his entry in the race.
Nintendo's Iwata who led through successes, woes dies at 55TOKYO (AP) - Satoru Iwata, who led Japanese video game company Nintendo Co. through years of growth with its Pokemon and Super Mario franchises, died on Saturday after a lengthy illness, drawing a flood of emotional tributes from game fans and industry rivals. He was 55. The company's statement on Monday said Iwata died of a bile duct tumor.
Up close: Vanuatu volcano puts on a glittering, primal showTANNA ISLAND, Vanuatu (AP) - It's constantly hissing, fussing and belching, but every half hour or so Yasur volcano sends up a tremendous spurt of lava and a boom so loud it is deafening on the crater rim and can be heard for miles. At dusk, the explosions begin to resemble fireworks, the lava glittering as it falls from the sky. At just 361 meters (1,184 feet) elevation, the volcano on the Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu is particularly accessible, and spectacularly active. Some have dubbed it the world's friendliest volcano, although its primal ferocity and occasionally dangerous eruptions of lava and gas would seem to defy that description.
A push to restore pride in the way Appalachians speakPINEVILLE, W.Va. (AP) - In a county beyond the reach of any four-lane highway, a young couple chuckles and swivels in their chairs as they start telling for posterity the story of how they met. "You want me to tell the story, or you tell the story?" asks Pete Culicerto, 20, who's seated next to his girlfriend before a pair of black microphones.

US uses science to control people 

1 Share
The United States is using the science of psychology to control people, former CIA contractor Steven Kelley says.
Kelly made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Saturday after a report revealed on Friday that some of America’s leading psychologists took part in and covered up the CIA’s torture techniques during the administration of President George W. Bush.
The study conducted by a former US attorney, published by the New York Times on Friday, stated that a large number of American psychologists could be charged over their involvement in the CIA torture program after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
“Obviously, these are the individuals who are going to be implicated,” Kelly said, adding that perhaps they will be fired “to clean up the image, but the corruption of the American medical staff goes back a long time.”
“Getting these doctors to take money to do these things and break their oath is probably not as difficult as you’d think,” he stated.
“They have been doing this for so long in collusion with the government and the military,” Kelly pointed out.
The analyst went on to say that medical professionals act like a mafia and are using “this pseudo science of psychology and the mental institutions to control people and to stifle dissent.”
The report, completed this month, concludes that some of the American Psychological Association (APA)’s top officials, including its ethics director, sought to gain favor with US military officials by seeking to keep the association’s ethics policies in line with the Pentagon’s interrogation policies, while several prominent outside psychologists took actions that aided the CIA’s interrogation program and helped protect it from growing opposition inside the agency.
The CIA and the Pentagon both conducted harsh and torturous interrogations during the Bush administration, although the spy agency’s program included more brutal tactics.
The revelation, exposing years of false claims, has already led to at least one APA leadership firing and has created the potential for loss of licenses and even prosecutions.
“Whenever we look at the issues like this we like to think that something positive will come. I do not expect that is the case, rather I expect that they will become better at hiding what’s happening,” Kelly said.
“And if anything, the ultimate fact may be that they will have to actually execute these people who they are trying to extract information so that they don’t go back to the world and report on the methods of torture they were subjected to,” he observed.
