Skycam Crashes Onto The Field

The University of Iowa's quarterback is used to dodging defensive linemen when he takes the field, but when a Skycam came crashing to earth Friday night, he never saw it coming. The 30-pound high-flying camera nearly nailed quarterback Marvin McNutt and other Iowa players as they huddled on the field during the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Arizona. The camera, which rides above the field on cables, is one of the biggest innovations in sportscasting, delivery video game-like shots behind and above the players.

Clashes Continue In Beit Shemesh

Hundreds of Extremist Charedim rioted and torched trash cans in Beit Shemesh on Thursday night. Police forces that arrived on the scene made efforts to disperse the crowd but were met with resistance from residents, who stoned the officers and blocked roads. Three people were arrested.

Beit Shemesh turned into the epicenter of the turmoil over hostility directed at women in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods after media outlets reported that the seven-year-old Na'ama Margolis was harassed by extremist charedim on her way to school. The attackers spat on the girl and yelled insults at her for not being dressed "modestly enough" in their opinion.
