Cribs, gates and fences are used to keep little ones safely in one place, but some stealthy babies have found ingenious ways of escaping this 'captivity'. In a video compilation called Mission Impossible: Babies Escape, six sneaky babies find ways to clamber over barriers, crawl out of their cribs and even help their siblings escape, too. One particularly skilful one-year-old named Mia, who is clad in a bright pink onesie pajama, clambers over a gate which was presumably put in place to keep her from climbing the stairs.

Plane Crash At San Francisco Airport
Officials now say they have accounted for all but one of the 307 people on board an Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul, South Korea, that crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, killing at least two people.
The crash left the runway littered with debris, and forced passengers to jump down the emergency inflatable slides to safety. At least 181 people have been transported to area hospitals, 49 with serious injuries. San Francisco General said they have received 34 patients, including 23 adults and 11 children. Five were reported in critical condition. Hospital spokeswoman Rachael Kagan said the adult patients range in age from 20 to their 40s. It was not immediately clear the ages of the children

Rare Color Footage Jewish Life Before the Holocaust
In 1921, 550 Jews lived in the town of Wielopole Skrzyńskie, constituting about half of the local population. At that time, some 20 small Jewish factories were in operation there. David Teitelbaum (1891-1972), an amateur filmmaker who was born in Wielopole, emigrated to the United States in the early 1900s and became a successful businessman. He would return to his hometown almost every year to visit his family, and in 1938, he filmed his trip. In June or July 1939 he traveled to Wielopole again, but only stayed for a short time, fearing that war was imminent. It is possible that some sections of the film were filmed on that last visit. The film features members of the Teitelbaum, Rappaport and Sartoria families, their neighbors and acquaintances.
Individuals in the film have been identified by relatives, particularly Channa Rachel (Helen) Glucksman, David's niece, who lives in the US today.
The German occupation of Wielopole in September 1939 brought with it a period of decrees, persecution, forced labor conscription, robbery and murder. In the spring of 1942, the Jews were forbidden to live in certain areas of the town, and were forced to crowd into a few narrow streets. This wasn't a sealed ghetto, but the residents were subject to severe movement restrictions. On 26 June, 1942 the Jews of Wielopole Skrzyńskie were evicted and sent to the ghetto in Ropzcyce. Some 50 sick and elderly Jews were murdered before the forced departure. Some of the people who appear in the film were amongst those murdered that day.
The individuals who appear in the film include:
Oizer Teitelbaum, one of the leaders of the community, murdered in June 1942, and his wife Leah née Blattberg, who may have died of illness before the mass killing and deportation, but was possibly murdered in June 1942. Both their names are inscribed on the memorial that was established in memory of the murdered Jews in Wielopole.
Oizer and Leah had nine children:
Raizel
Chiel (born 1882, emigrated to the US)
Sheindel (born 1889)
David (born 1891)
Chaya Klara (born 1895, emigrated to the US)
Shaya Sam (born 1896/7, emigrated to the US)
Gusi (born 1904)
Yankel (emigrated to the US)
Eliezer
David, who made the film and Chiel, who emigrated to the US and came back to visit, both appear in the film. Also in the film are their sister Rachel Sartoria née Teitelbaum, who perished, and her husband Moshe (fate unknown), Sheindel Rappaport (née Teitelbaum) (1889-?), and her husband Moshe Aaron (1887-?) who both presumably perished, but it is no known where or how.
Sheindel and Moshe Aaron's children have also been identified in the film: Simcha (1914-?), fate unknown; Chiel (1915/16-?) and Shlomo (1917-?), fate unknown; Channa Rachel (Helen) Glucksman nee Rappaport (born 1919) on his visit in 1938, David arranged for Channa's departure to the US. She left Wielopole in September or October 1938; Chaim (1921-?), fate unknown and Etla (1929-?), disappeared without a trace. Raizel and Moshe's children: Shaya (fate unknown), Chiel, Sara and her husband (name unknown).
Other people appearing in the film include: Juda Redel, Oizer and Leah's neighbor and landlord, who was murdered in June 1942, and his wife Eidel, who was Moshe Aaron Rappaport's stepsister. Nathan Lipschitz (1918-2011), survivor, who was the son of the town Rabbi, Yehuda Zindel Lipschitz , and grandson of the Hassidic Rabbi Yitzhak Lipschitz.

Russian Rocket Explodes Seconds After Liftoff
An unmanned Russian rocket veered off course and exploded in a fireball Tuesday, seconds after liftoff from a launch pad in Kazakhstan. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The Proton-M rocket was carrying three satellites for Russia's Global Navigation Satellite System, or Glonass, reported the RIA Novosti news agency. Glonass is the Russian equivalent to the United States' Global Positioning System, or GPS. The rocket had just taken off from the Baikonur space center, in a launch broadcast live on television. Seconds later, it changed course, burst into flames and dove nose-first into the ground. Authorities have suspended further launches of the rockets as they investigate what caused the explosion.
