Ian Frasier "Lemmy" Kilmister, frontman for the durable heavy metal band Motorhead is dead at age 70.  The news was first reported by Los Angeles heavy metal DJ and TV host Eddie Trunk who described Lemmy as "a true original icon of rock".  Tributes are pouring in from his friends and fans in and out of the metal world.  His birthday was Christmas Eve; A note on the band's official Facebook page explains that Lemmy was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of cancer two days later on Boxing Day, and died after another two days later on Monday.  The note goes on to say that more information will be released in the coming days, and urged fans to "Celebrate the LIFE (of) this lovely, wonderful man (who) celebrated so vibrantly himself", and to "play Motorhead loud".

The Cleveland, Ohio prosecutor was "abusing and manipulating the grand jury process" in the case of Tamir Rice, to prevent charges from being brought against the white cop who shot and killed the twelve-year old African American boy.  Rice family attorneys say the Cuyahoga County prosecutor hired outside experts to exonerate the cops, adding it was "unheard of, and highly improper".  Monday's decision not to charge the killer cops was expected, but nonetheless disgusting after a series of high profile and racially charged police murders.  More than a year ago, a member of the public called police because they saw twelve-year old Tamir was playing with a toy gun in a public park; the cops arrived shortly thereafter and within three second shot and killed the boy - who they attempted to describe as a 84-kilogram grown man in their initial reports.

The Texas "Affluenza Teen" and his mother are being held by police near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  Ethan Couch went on the lam earlier this month after an acquaintance uploaded video to social media appearing to show him at a party where copious amounts of alcohol were served.  Couch was ordered to stay away from alcohol as part of the ten year probation sentence he got in lieu of prison time for killing four people in a drunk driving accident in 2013.  His defense attorney at the time argued that he suffered from "affluenza", a reduced capacity to know right from wrong because he had been raised in a well-off family. 

Argentina police are searching for three notorious convicts who escaped from a high security prison over the weekend.  They were serving life terms for kidnapping and murdering three businessmen in a drug trafficking deal gone wrong 2008.  But somehow they managed to smuggle what is believed to be a fake gun into Argentina's most-secure prison to force a guard into letting them out.  The provincial governor, an ally of new conservative president Mauricio Macri, claims that there was complicity within the prison system and that drug trafficking money has infiltrated Argentine politics.

Guinea is expected to be declared Ebola-free on when Tuesday rolls around to the capital Conracky.  It was the first country to report infections in the West African Ebola Epidemic that began in December of 2013.  The toddler believed to be "patient zero", Emile Ouamouno, caught the virus playing in a tree stump where fruit bats had nested.  The disease tore through Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, with sporadic cases also in Mali, Nigeria and Senegal.  11,315 people died in the epidemic, 2,536 in Guinea.  The disease will cause long-lasting damage to the impoverished country's social fabric:  Deaths were disproportionate in the health and education sectors, and more than 6,200 Guinean children lost one or both parents to the disease.

China is expressing outrage (try not to roll your eyes) over 50 Philippine protesters camping out on a remote island controlled by the Philippines in the South China Sea.  The Philippines have long claimed Pagasa Island, and has had a base on it since the 1970s.  But it lies in the Spratley chain where China has recently built its own bases hundreds of kilometers south of its internationally recognized maritime border.  Manila did not sanction the protest, which organizers say will last only for a few days.
