News of note from the break
New York officers murdered in
the name of Michael Brown:
Unrest and violence sparked
by the Ferguson shooting of
unarmed black teenager Michael
Brown continued as two New
York police officers were killed
in late December. Officers
Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos
were shot and killed while sitting
in their car while on duty in
Brooklyn. The gunman, Ismaaiyl
Brinsley, posted his intentions
on Instagram hours before the
attack and said it was in the
name of Michael Brown's death.
The funerals of Officers Liu and
Ramos drew hundreds of officers
from across the country to the
streets of New York to honor
their fallen brothers.

IT:
Sony hack by North Korea temporarily shuts down "The
Interview": NSA agents confirmed that North Korea was behind
the Sony Hack, a cyber attack in late November that released
sensitive information on Sony employees and upcoming movies.
The hack came after U.S.-North Korea tensions rose over "The
Interview," a Sony movie that humorously depicts Kim Jong
Un's assassination. Because of the attack, Sony temporarily
pulled "The Interview" before releasing it online amid outcry
from government officials, the public and Hollywood.
Unrest in France: France experienced three days of terror,
then grief, after gunmen Said and Cherif Kouachi attacked
the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo — a satirical newspaper
known for its inflammatory content — in Paris. 12 people,
including editors, cartoonists and security personnel, were
killed. Police tracked down and killed the brothers three days
later. A separate gunman stormed a Paris kosher grocery
store the same day the Kouachi brothers died, killing four
hostages before he was killed by police. All three gunmen
claimed to be affiliates of the Islamic State group.

to spread, and has
more than 50 confirmed
cases.

WHAT YOU MISSFP- APiPilF SPORTS
'1 Bowl game: The Aggies (8-5) won
I their fourth straight bowl game for
the first time in school history with
a 45-37 win over West Virginia in the
Liberty Bowl. Freshman quarterback
Kyle Allen was 22-of-35 for 294 yards
while Tra Carson rushed for a career-
high 133 yards on 25 carries.
O Hires, fires and good-byers:
A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin
was busy over the break tinkering
with his staff. Shortly after the LSU
loss, Sumlin's defensive coordinator,
Mark Snyder, was released from the
team. Taking his place will be John
Chavis, former conference foe and
LSU Tigers DC. Wide receivers coach
David Beaty departed for the head
coaching job at Kansas. Additionally,
offensive line coach B.J. Anderson
received the boot. Dave Christensen
of Utah was appointed the offensive
line coach and running game
coordinator while Aaron Moorehead
from Virginia Tech will be the wide
receivers coach. Still, the most
notable move by Sumlin might have
been his dismissal of his pool boy via
Twitter.
Q RIP west side of Kyle Field: After
O a season featuring a new East
end and video board, Kyle Field will
endure one more year of renovations.
The West end was imploded on Dec.
21, and the new-and-improved version
