Cleveland police say they've found three missing women who disappeared as teens from the same neigborhood around the turn of the century. Michelle Knight, now 32, disappeared in 2002; Amanda Berry, 27, was last seen in 2003; Gina DeJesus, 23, went missing in 2004. The women were found in a house along with several children after Berry made a frantic 911 call, saying she had been kidnapped, "missing for 10 years," and knew she had been "in the news." The three women have since checked into a local hospital and three brothers have been arrested. Neighbors said the house was always dark, with boarded-up windows, and that a man always entered through the back door.  Read it at The Cleveland Plain Dealer CALM DOWN 3.

But the move comes just a few days after North Korea sentenced a U.S. citizen to 15 years in a hard labor camp for murky charges. Read it at BBC News THREATS 5. U.S. Accuses China of Cyberspying The Pentagon is through being polite about China's hacking problem. In its annual report to Congress on Monday, the Pentagon directly accused China's military of cyberattacks against U.S. defense contractors and government employees—and these attacks could potentially weaken the U.S. during a crisis. The report conceded that China is most likely trying to steal industrial technology, but the country is still gaining insight into the inner workings of the U.S. military. Despite the dire warnings in the report, there are no potential solutions listed—and there are no indications that the U.S. is developing similar cyberspying technology, although billions are spent each year on cyberdefense and the creation of cyberweapons.
