The new version of Apple's mobile operating system lets you mute group text chains -- so you can now finish your Saturday night "Battlestar Galactica" and Popcorn Factory sampler binge without your friends bugging you about doing... you know... stuff. This is THE MORNING EMAIL for Tuesday, June 3, 2014.
The Scuttlebutt
- Two twelve-year-old girls stabbed their friend 19 times in a premeditated attack
- Video of the FBI capturing a fugitive after a three-day manhunt

OBAMA ASKS FOR EUROPEAN CHUMP CHANGE 
“President Barack Obama called on Congress Tuesday to back a $1 billion effort to boost the U.S. military presence across Europe, as he sought to ease anxiety among NATO allies who are wary of Russia's threatening moves in Ukraine.” Lots and lots of legacy chatter right now. [AP]
FUGITIVE CAUGHT AFTER THREE-DAY MANHUNT
“Ryan Kelly Chamberlain II, the subject of a nationwide manhunt after explosive materials were allegedly found in his San Francisco apartment, was taken into custody by the San Francisco Police Department and the FBI, an FBI spokesman said.” Take a look at a video of the arrest. [ABC News]
AND NOW IT’S UP TO THE STATES
“The EPA's plan calls for a 30 percent cut to emissions from power plants by 2030. The goals for each state are based on a calculation that takes into account their current emissions and their potential for making reductions. States will be given a high degree of control in deciding how they will meet those individual standards.” Republicans more or less view this as Obamacare 2.0. [HuffPost]
STATESIDE: Horrific Preteen Stabbing
Two twelve-year-old girls viciously attacked their friend, stabbing her 19 times in an allegedly premeditated attack.

Talk about close calls: this plane comes inches away from hitting a sunbather in Germany. The photo of a Chinese passport ruined by a child’s coloring may be a fake. There’s an “undeclared war” raging against half of South Asia. And over 800 bodies of babies were found in a septic tank at what used to be a house for Irish unwed mothers from 1925 to 1961.

SCOUTING REPORT: Crazy, Crazy, Crazy Pitch
After this Brazilian soccer club promoted the importance of organ donation, the waitlist in Brazil for heart transplants dropped to zero. Dan Marino joined an NFL concussion lawsuit. Grantland’s trying to convince us that the first pitch strike is a myth. And you have to see this Eephus pitch that’s the equivalent of a granny freethrow in basketball.

Blake Lively took a page out of Blair Waldorf’s book with her sassy headband. We’re not fans of Vanessa Hudgens’ new hair. What ever happened to the “We’re All in This Together” glory days?!? Lauren Scruggs, the model who was severely injured in the propeller accident, is engaged! Casper Smart is on the outs with J-Lo.
