SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - More South Korean female skaters are accusing their coaches of sexually abusing them, a group representing the athletes disclosed Monday following claims by two-time Olympic champion Shim Suk-hee that her former coach had repeatedly raped her.

Jessica Simpson's possible baby name is being slammed as "ridiculous" by some critics.

Determining the length of a single day on a planet is usually pretty easy. You just pick a landmark and wait for it to reach the exact same point twice in its rotation and you have your answer. For astronomers studying Saturn, it's not nearly as easy as that. Saturn doesn't have any easily visible landmarks to track, and its gassy atmosphere doesn't offer many hints as to how fast it's actually rotating. On top of that, its magnetic field also hides the speed at which the body spins. Researchers were at a loss as to how to track the planet's rotation, but using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft the code was finally cracked. Christopher Mankovich, a graduate student at UC Santa Cruz, discovered that Cassini's observations of Saturn's delicate ring structure actually held the key to determining the rate at which Saturn itself rotates. Mankovich looked closely at subtle wave patterns within the rings, determining that the waves were being caused by specific locations on the planet as it rotates, and that tracking them could solve the rotation riddle once and for all. "Particles throughout the rings can't help but feel these oscillations in the gravity field," Mankovich said in a statement. "At specific locations in the rings these oscillations catch ring particles at just the right time in their orbits to gradually build up energy, and that energy gets carried away as an observable wave." Using this data, Mankovich was able to determine that a single day on Saturn lasts 10 hours, 33 minutes and 38 seconds. Decades ago, astronomers using magnetic field data from Voyager estimated a Saturn day at 10 hours, 39 minutes and 23 seconds. This new research helps to clarify those early estimates quite a bit, and offers the most accurate measurement yet of a day on the ringed planet.

A Chinese scientist who created what he said were the world's first "gene-edited" babies evaded oversight and broke ethical boundaries in a quest for fame and fortune, state media said on Monday, as his former university said he had been fired. Hundreds of Chinese and international scientists condemned He and said any application of gene editing on human embryos for reproductive purposes was unethical.

The students from private, all-male Covington Catholic High School in northern Kentucky were in Washington for an anti-abortion rally on Friday when they were filmed surrounding Nathan Phillips and mocking the Native American's singing and drumming. Fellow students, many in clothing bearing President Donald Trump's "MAGA" slogan, cheered him on and chanted, "build that wall, build that wall," Phillips said.
