Though the hour was late, Yemen?s social media was still very much awake.

A U.S. drone’s missiles had just slammed into a convoy of vehicles in a remote part of Yemen, killing three alleged militants.

The attack ? like all other U.S. drone strikes outside warzones ? was supposed to be clandestine. Yet within minutes Sanaa-based lawyer Haykal Bafana was reporting the strike in almost-realtime. Just after 1am on May 17 he posted the following on Twitter:

“#Yemen NOW | Missile strike on car in Wadi Hadhramaut. Near city of Shibam. Suspected US drone attack.”

As Bafana later explained to the Bureau, his relatives live in Shibam, a town of 30,000. “When the drone struck, the town ? which was then experiencing a power cut ? had completely lit up. My relatives got straight on the phone to tell me about the attack.”

The day prior to the strike Bafana had already tweeted that drones were behaving suspiciously in the area. Hadhramaut province, a sparsely-populated former sultanate, is far from Yemen?s troubled south, where most of the fighting and U.S. drone strikes are currently taking place.

More stories from The Bureau of Investigative Journalism

There has been militant activity there for some years, report locals, and surveillance drones have been active at night since 2010. But until now there had never been a drone strike. “But suddenly four or five days ago, my relatives were reporting drones over them in daylight, all the time, which was rare. Militants were also being seen moving about in the area, maybe preparing the way for an evacuation from the fighting in the south. Everyone was expecting something to happen,” Bafana recalls. He tweeted the news to his followers.

“#Yemen | Hearing multiple claims of drone sightings in Hadhramaut, especially in Shibam/Qatn directorates (KSA route). No attacks so far.”

When the deadly attack finally came in the early hours of Thursday morning, the target itself was hardly a secret.

Earlier, Arabic-language online media in the provincial capital of al-Mukalla had reported that a convoy of alleged al Qaeda rebels was heading north. That news was also swiftly tweeted.

Precision strike
Others were clearly also charting the convoy?s progress. As the vehicles approached Shibam at around 1am local time, at least one car, a Toyota Hilax, was destroyed by missiles from above. Yemen?s own air force has neither the know-how nor the equipment to launch a precision strike on moving vehicles in the dark.

News agencies would later report the attack as a drone strike, naming two of the dead as?Zeid bin Taleb and Mutii Bilalafi, both described as local al Qaeda leaders. Like the dozens of U.S. drone strikes in Yemen that preceded it, Thursday?s attack was supposed to be secret. Yet Twitter and other social media were tracking in near-real time the events surrounding the operation.

US official acknowledges drone strikes, civilian deaths

“It is incredible how the same type of technology used by the CIA to kill people with drones in the Yemen, is empowering the Yemenis to tweet the attacks as they are happening,” Noel Sharkey, professor of robotics at the University of Sheffield told the Bureau.

“They can send us all pictures and bring us closer to the horror they are experiencing. Technology in the small may eventually bring down the over-use of military technology in the large.”

They may not have Q in their corners, but real spies do have gadgets that would fit right into a James Bond movie. Msnbc.com’s Rosa Golijan tours an exhibition of spy tools.

Social media tools like Facebook and Twitter ??which played an important role in Yemen?s Arab Spring uprising ? are now being used by activists to draw attention to a large increase in U.S. drone strikes in recent weeks.

‘Twitter is increasingly important’
As Haykal Bafana notes, within minutes of his tweeting Monday?s attack the news was also posted on Facebook and on local Arabic micro-news sites. “Web use is as low as 2 percent here in Yemen. But it still makes a big difference. Many people get their news from the small local media sites rather than from foreign or state agencies. And Twitter is increasingly important.”

When President Obama?s chief counter terrorism adviser John Brennan visited Sanaa on Sunday,? Twitter witnessed an online protest with the hashtag NoDrones.

“Brennan do you hear us?!!! We say #NoDrones #NoDrones #NoDrones. You are killing innocent people and creating more enemies in #Yemen.”

‘Stooge’: Al-Qaida chief al-Zawahiri issues message on Yemen

Yemen-based youth activist Sadam al-Adwar (@sadamtweety), for example, said: “I?m against #terrorism & #extremism, i?m also against #drones. It?s counter-productive & fuels more extremism.”

And @WomanFromYemen, otherwise known as NGO consultant Atiaf al-Wazir, told her more than 8,000 followers: “For every headline you read regarding ‘militants’ killed by drones in #Yemen, think of the civilians killed that are not reported. #NoDrones.”

Yesterday?s Yemen drone strike appears to be the first in which events were reported on in real time.

“I?ve never heard of an example of people tweeting while drones were actually in the area,” said Dr Micah Zenko of the Council on Foreign Policy, an expert on Yemen security issues.

“It really gets to the myth that you can keep these strikes covert, and if you do not have an information campaign that supports their use, you leave yourself flat-footed by people reporting what is being done in real time.”

Army working on hovering, non-lethal drone-bazooka

There is a precedent. Last year a Pakistani man unknowingly tweeted the presence of U.S. Special Forces attack helicopters on the way to kill Osama bin Laden. On May 1 last year Pakistani IT consultant Sohaib Athar tweeted the following.

“Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event).”

Stephanie Gosk spoke to Sohaib Athar, the man who told the world about the Osama bin Laden attack as it was in progress, ?before he knew what it was he was witnessing.

After a “huge window shaking bang” he debated the significance of the night?s events on Twitter, even as U.S. Special Forces carried out their controversial raid. He quipped to a follower that “moving to Abbottabad was part of the ‘being safe’ strategy.”

But as the news of bin Laden?s death broke Athar lamented: “Uh oh, now I?m the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it.”

While supporters of the rivals are gripped by Scottish Cup fever ahead of the first all-Edinburgh final since 1896, the Portuguese manager has been determined to avoid hysteria and keep his squad calm in the build-up to the Hampden clash.

“For me it’s an opponent, it’s a game that I want to win like all the others,” Sergio said.

“It’s not special because it’s Hibs. This is a game that is as important as it was to win against Auchinleck (Talbot, Hearts’ fourth-round opponents).

“If we didn’t beat Auchinleck, we would not be here to play this one.”

Since Hibs defeated Aberdeen and Hearts knocked out Celtic in the semi-finals, the Scottish capital has been in anticipation of Saturday’s showcase final.

But when pressed about the special nature of a fixture last played 116 years ago, Sergio added: “This is a statistic. That doesn’t make the game different for me.

“For you, it’s huge, it’s different. But for us, it’s football. Focus on football, focus on the game, don’t focus on what is collateral of the main issue.

“I hope and I believe that at about 1700 on Saturday it’s going to be a tremendous day. Before that it’s just a normal day.

“I always give 100 per cent in everything I can to prepare for every single game, so in that point of view it’s not different.

“I hope after the game can be a special moment, but before the game and during the game, just focus on football and what we are here doing and forget everything that is around us.”

Only Craig Beattie, who scored the winning penalty in the semi-final with Celtic, is struggling with injury.

It may yet be Sergio’s final match in charge, with the manager set to meet owner Vladimir Romanov for talks about a new contract following the game.

Meanwhile, his Hibernian counterpart, Pat Fenlon, has told his Hibs side to seize their chance as they bid to lift the trophy for the first time in 110 years.

After narrowly avoiding relegation from the Scottish Premier League, Fenlon has told his players to show more character against Hearts as they look to end their Hampden hoodoo and win the competition for the first time since 1902.

However, Fenlon, who took charge at Easter Road in November, attempted to downplay the weight of history on Hibs, who are winless in 10 derby attempts since May 2009.

“It’s my first attempt to get through the Scottish Cup and we’ve got to the final,” Fenlon said.

“It gives us a great opportunity. We’re 90 minutes from ending that, but there’s a big obstacle in front of us.

“We’ve just got to make sure that that’s what we focus on and not all the other hype that goes with it.

“We can’t change what’s gone on previously, but we can change it come Saturday. With cup finals you’ve got to make sure you compete, you forget the occasion if you can and play the game. You don’t need to do too many things differently, just make sure you contribute to your own game.

“I’m looking forward to the game. It was a big relief to make sure we stayed in the league, that’s probably where the real pressure was for us.

“Saturday’s a different type of pressure, but something I want to enjoy as well.”

Goalkeeper Graham Stack and winger Danny Galbraith are both out through injury.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Nick Markakis let loose on a hanging slider and gave the Baltimore Orioles another extra innings victory on the road.

Markakis homered into the second deck in right field to give the Orioles a 2-1 win in 11 innings over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.

Markakis’ blast off Nationals reliever Ryan Mattheus (2-1) propelled Baltimore to its fourth straight victory. The first-place Orioles improved to 6-2 in extra innings with all six victories coming on the road.

“Hopefully, it bodes well mentally,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of his team’s late game heroics. “When you get in those situations that you’ve been there and handled it well because, especially on the road, there’s such a finality to that bottom of the inning. But the key is our guys are playing pretty loose through that. It’s a loose clubhouse. They have a lot of confidence in close ballgames.”

Facing the Nationals’ fourth pitcher of the game and a 2-2 count, Markakis was not looking for a slider from Mattheus. That’s what he got. As it turns out, he was ready for a pitch that Mattheus said, “kind of hung” over the plate.

“I wasn’t expecting that,” Markakis said. “I put a good swing on that and went out of the ballpark.”

Hits and runs were hard to come by for either side.

Four relievers followed Orioles starter Jake Arrieta, who matched his career-high with nine strikeouts. He allowed one run and six hits, walking one in seven innings.

Edwin Jackson matched him, allowing one run in eight innings with eight strikeouts and one walk.

“That was a tough one,” said Nationals manager Davey Johnson, who previously played for and managed the Orioles. “It was a shame to waste such a great pitching effort by Jackson. He pitched outstanding.”

Kevin Gregg (2-1) pitched the 10th inning for Baltimore and Pedro Strop worked the 11th inning for his third save. Three runners reached against Strop, but Ian Desmond hit into a double play and LaRoche grounded back to the mound with two runners on.

Arrieta entered the game having allowed 13 earned runs over his last two starts, including seven runs in 3 2-3 innings against Tampa Bay on Sunday. No signs of that pitcher existed in the series opener.

“(I) wanted to try to command multiple pitches in the zone, and when I got ahead just finish guys off,” Arrieta said. “Not let the pitch count run up and try to pitch as deep into the game as I could.”

Adam Jones drove home the Orioles first run with a first inning infield single against Jackson. Desmond tied the game with a solo home run in the sixth inning against Arrieta. It stayed that way until Markakis’ final at-bat.

“We pitched good. Bullpen pitched good,” Johnson said. “But one pitch – ball game.”

Matt Wieters helped his pitcher by throwing out Bryce Harper and Jesus Flores attempting to steal second base.

The 19-year-old Harper was 2 for 3 with a walk.

Xavier Avery led off the Orioles first inning with a walk and one out later moved to third on Markakis’ double to left center. Jones sent a sharp grounder off Jackson’s left heel. The ball caromed behind the mound, allowing Avery to score from third.

Jackson escaped further damage by inducing Wieters into an inning-ending double play grounder. He then settled in, striking out the side in the second inning.

Held scoreless by Arrieta through five innings, the Nationals tied the game in the sixth on Desmond’s sixth home run of the season, landing deep in the left field stands.

This series between the neighboring franchises marks the first time since the Nationals moved from Montreal to Washington that both teams have winning records.

“I think the way rivalries start is with winning ball clubs,” Arrieta said. “Both of these clubs, we’re both playing extremely well. “

NOTES: Jones extended his hitting streak to 10 games for third time this season. Nationals OF Michael Morse (back) is expected to begin an extended spring training assignment on Monday at the Nationals camp in Viera, Florida, manager Davey Johnson said. Morse has not played in a game this season. The Nationals game against the Miami Marlins that was rained out on April 22 has been rescheduled as part of a doubleheader on August 3.Saturday’s pitching matchup pits Orioles RHP Jason Hammel against Nationals LHP Ross Detwiler.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? Dwyane Wade lashed out in frustration during the worst playoff game of his career.

His target wasn’t wearing an Indiana uniform. Wade confronted his coach as the Miami Heat melted.

The star had an animated exchange with Erik Spoelstra on the sideline in the third quarter, a disturbing low point on a night when nothing went Miami’s way, and the Heat were throttled 94-75 by the Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Indiana center Roy Hibbert had 19 points and 18 rebounds, George Hill scored 20 and Danny Granger 17 as Indiana, pushed by a crowd that stood and chanted “Beat The Heat” at every opportunity, took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Game 4 is Sunday at raucous Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Before then, the Heat need to locate their missing shooting touch and figure out how to attack Indiana’s superior defense. More than anything, Wade needs to shake off a startling 5-point, 2-of-13 shooting performance he made worse by challenging Spoelstra.

During a timeout, Spoelstra was talking to Wade, who didn’t like what he heard and angrily snapped at his coach. Several Miami players stepped in before the confrontation escalated.

Afterward, Wade didn’t want to discuss the dispute.

“I don’t even remember what you all are talking about,” he said.

Spoelstra dismissed his clash with Wade as a heat-of-battle moment.

“That happens,” Spoelstra said. “Anybody that has been part of a team or has been a coach or been a player, you have no idea how often things like that happen. That was during a very emotional part of the game. We were getting our butt kicked. Those exchanges happen all the time during the course of an NBA season.

“There’s going to be a lot of times where guys say something, you don’t like it. You get over it and you move on. We’re all connected. Dwyane and I have been together for a long time, a long time. We’ve been through basically everything. A lot of different roles, a lot of different teams. That really is nothing. That is the least of our concern. That type of fire, shoot, that’s good. That’s the least of our concerns. Our concern is getting ready for Sunday.”

James scored 22 ? 16 in the first half before wearing down ? and Mario Chalmers made up for Wade’s abysmal night by adding 25 for Miami, which again played without All-Star forward Chris Bosh, who is out with a strained abdominal muscle and is not expected to return for this series.

“It’s obvious he wasn’t himself,” James said of Wade. “Does he want to play better? Of course. He’s one of the best players in the world.”

Wade downplayed the potential of a serious injury, though he did snag his right hand on the net trying to make a block in the first half.

Indiana outscored Miami 51-32 in the second half, when the Pacers could do no wrong.

They made big shots, challenged everything the Heat tossed in the air and didn’t back down from a Miami team that appeared poised to make an easy run to the NBA finals after top-seeded Chicago lost Derrick Rose and was eliminated in the first round.

The Pacers have other plans.

In the second half, Indiana forward David West flung James to the floor in the lane, and Granger later got in the superstar’s face after a foul on a breakaway. After winning Game 2 in South Florida by three points, the Pacers wanted to show that victory was no fluke and that they’re for real.

Believe it.

They’re two wins from tilting the balance of power in the East.

“We’re certainly happy with the win,” said Pacers coach Frank Vogel. “But we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Vogel’s pregame message to his team: “Keep your edge, and enhance your edge.”

Enhance, they did.

Hibbert controlled the glass, roaming the lane on both ends and finishing with five blocks.

“My primary focus is defense, defense, defense,” he said. “I embrace that role and let the offense come to me. Them being one and done, that’s what we talked about in the huddle,” he said. “One shot and they’re done.”

Two more losses and the Heat are done.

With his team down 20 in the closing minutes, Spoelstra waved the white flag and pulled out first Wade, then James, who quickly removed his headband as he got to the bench and then pulled out the mouthpiece inscripted with XVI ? the Roman numeral for 16 ? the number of wins it takes to get a championship.

When the final horn sounded, the three-time MVP quickly exited the floor.

“When you lose a game like that, all you try to do is move on to the next one,” James said. “They’re playing some good basketball. We’re playing pretty good defense on them. We’re not scoring the ball.”

Indiana busted open a grind-it-out game with a 17-3 run in the third quarter, doing it with an inside-outside attack that had the Heat wondering what was coming next.

With their boisterous crowd decked out in mustard-yellow “Gold Swagger” T-shirts, the Pacers pushed their lead to 69-55 after three and then held off one brief run by the Heat in the fourth quarter.

Behind Miami’s bench, owner Micky Arison and team president Pat Riley looked on in disbelief.

Despite playing almost 21 minutes and exerting himself on defense, James had enough energy to throw down a vicious left-handed dunk in the final minute of the first half, pulling the Heat even at 43-all. He looked back at the Miami bench as if to say, “How about a little help out here?”

He was doing it all.

Wade, on the other hand, was lost.

He missed all five field-goal attempts, made two turnovers and ran around like a playoff rookie and not a superstar appearing in his 95th career postseason game.

Wade finally made his first field goal with 10:22 left in the third to put Miami up 47-45, but the Pacers went on a 10-1 run with Granger dropping a 3-pointer in front of the Heat bench to make it 55-48 and then playfully skipping down the sideline as Miami called a timeout.

The Pacers were in control.

They were clearly the better team.

“We have all vested together in this and are all in it together to the end,” West said. “We will not back down or take anything from any team.”

Notes: The Heat are 5 for 42 on 3-pointers in the series. … Miami’s 75 points matched a low in these playoffs. … Indiana outrebounded Miami 52-36. … The Heat managed just 12 points in the third quarter. … Former Pacers center Rik Smits attended the game and got a huge cheer when he was shown on the scoreboard.

A new study from Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that certain types of fat were associated with worse memory and overall cognitive function

Boston, MA–It has been known for years that eating too many foods containing “bad” fats, such as saturated fats or trans fats, isn’t healthy for your heart. However, according to new research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), one “bad” fatsaturated fatwas found to be associated with worse overall cognitive function and memory in women over time. By contrast, a “good” fatmono-unsaturated fat was associated with better overall cognitive function and memory.

This study is published online by Annals of Neurology, a journal of the American Neurological Association and Child Neurology Society, on May 18, 2012.

The research team analyzed data from the Women’s Health Studyoriginally a cohort of nearly 40,000 women, 45 years and older. The researchers focused on data from a subset of 6,000 women, all over the age of 65. The women participated in three cognitive function tests, which were spaced out every two years for an average testing span of four years. These women filled out very detailed food frequency surveys at the start of the Women’s Health Study, prior to the cognitive testing.

“When looking at changes in cognitive function, what we found is that the total amount of fat intake did not really matter, but the type of fat did,” explained Olivia Okereke, MD, MS, BWH Department of Psychiatry.

Women who consumed the highest amounts of saturated fat, which can come from animal fats such as red meat and butter, compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts, had worse overall cognition and memory over the four years of testing. Women who ate the most of the monounsaturated fats, which can be found in olive oil, had better patterns of cognitive scores over time.

“Our findings have significant public health implications,” said Okereke. “Substituting in the good fat in place of the bad fat is a fairly simple dietary modification that could help prevent decline in memory.”

Okereke notes that strategies to prevent cognitive decline in older people are particularly important. Even subtle declines in cognitive functioning can lead to higher risk of developing more serious problems, like dementia and Alzheimer disease.

A new study from Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that certain types of fat were associated with worse memory and overall cognitive function

Boston, MA–It has been known for years that eating too many foods containing “bad” fats, such as saturated fats or trans fats, isn’t healthy for your heart. However, according to new research from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), one “bad” fatsaturated fatwas found to be associated with worse overall cognitive function and memory in women over time. By contrast, a “good” fatmono-unsaturated fat was associated with better overall cognitive function and memory.

This study is published online by Annals of Neurology, a journal of the American Neurological Association and Child Neurology Society, on May 18, 2012.

The research team analyzed data from the Women’s Health Studyoriginally a cohort of nearly 40,000 women, 45 years and older. The researchers focused on data from a subset of 6,000 women, all over the age of 65. The women participated in three cognitive function tests, which were spaced out every two years for an average testing span of four years. These women filled out very detailed food frequency surveys at the start of the Women’s Health Study, prior to the cognitive testing.

“When looking at changes in cognitive function, what we found is that the total amount of fat intake did not really matter, but the type of fat did,” explained Olivia Okereke, MD, MS, BWH Department of Psychiatry.

Women who consumed the highest amounts of saturated fat, which can come from animal fats such as red meat and butter, compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts, had worse overall cognition and memory over the four years of testing.
