TORONTO, April 9 (Reuters) - Canadian police have recovered the bodies of four hikers who went missing on Saturday when an avalanche hit a popular trail north of Vancouver and were still searching for one missing person, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement on Sunday.

RCMP received a distress call on Saturday from one hiker after a cornice collapsed on the peak of Mount Harvey, which is situated 33 kilometers (20.5 miles) north of Vancouver, in the Lions Bay area. The hiker spotted footprints leading to the summit and was concerned for the safety anyone who was in the area, RCMP said.

A cornice is an overhanging mass of ice created by high winds.

CBC News, citing one rescue team member, said the group may have fallen as much as 500 meters (1,640 feet) when the cornice collapsed.

Canada suffered one of its deadliest avalanches on New Year's Day of 1999, when nine people were killed in Kangiqsualujjuaq, an Inuit village in Northern Quebec, according to the Calgary Herald. (Reporting by Denny Thomas; Editing by Sandra Maler)

US Unemployment rate falls crashing

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The US unemployment rate fell to its lowest in almost a decade in March, despite the economy adding a smaller than expected number of jobs.

Employers added 98,000 jobs last month - far fewer than the 180,000 expected by economists and less than half the figure for January and February.

However, the unemployment rate fell from 4.7% in February to just 4.5% - the lowest since May 2007.

Anything under 5% is considered to indicate "full employment".

The economy needs to create 75,000 to 100,000 jobs a month to keep pace with growth in the working-age population.

The US had added more than 200,000 jobs in both January and February, but March brought lower temperatures and a major storm to the North East, which was likely to have hit hiring.

"There probably was a large weather-related factor in there during the measurement week. The underlying data still suggests that job growth is pretty good," said Russell Price, senior economist at Ameriprise Financial Services.

Aberdeen Asset Management investment strategist Luke Bartholomew said the decline in job creation was another sign of a "pretty tight" labour market.

"The slowdown in payroll growth is exactly what you would expect when the economy closes in on full employment," he said.

Neil Wilson at ETX Capital described March's job creation figure as a "massive miss", but doubted it would stop the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates twice more this year, with the next move expected in June.

"The overall trend remains one of very strong job creation - and it's still a decent number that is way above the paltry 38,000 registered in June 2016," he said.

The dollar rose against the euro and sterling, while the Dow Jones and S&P 500 were flat in morning trading in New York.

The US Labor Department also revised the number of jobs created in February down from 235,000 to 219,000, while the figure for January was lowered from 238,000 to 216,000.

The percentage of people in work or looking for a job held steady at 63%.

U.S. Launches Missiles at Syrian Base Over Chemical Weapons Attack

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The United States fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Syria overnight in response to what it believes was a chemical weapons attack that killed more than 100 people.

At least six people were killed, Syria claimed, but the Pentagon said civilians were not targeted and the strike was aimed at a military airfield in Homs.

All but one of the missiles hit their intended target, one U.S. military official told NBC News. The other missile failed.

The strike completed a policy reversal for President Donald Trump - who once warned America to stay out of the conflict - and drew angry responses from Damascus and its main ally, Russia.

The missiles were launched from the USS Ross and the USS Porter in the Mediterranean Sea toward Shayrat Airfield. American officials believe it was used by the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad to carry out a strike on Tuesday involving chemical weapons that resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people.

"Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children," Trump said in remarks from Mar-a-Lago, his family compound in Palm Beach, Florida. "It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons."

The president also called on other countries to end the bloodshed in Syria.

U.S. officials told NBC News that aircraft and infrastructure at the site were hit, including the runway and gas fuel pumps. Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a spokesman for the Defense Department, said initial assessments showed that the airfield was severely damaged, reducing Syria's capability to deliver chemical weapons.

The strike provoked an angry response from Russia, which is backing the Assad regime in its six-year civil war against a patchwork of rebel factions and other groups, including ISIS.

Both regime and rebel forces have committed repeated war crimes, according to a United Nations report last month, with airstrikes by Russian and Syrian jets in particular "claiming hundreds of lives and reducing hospitals, schools and markets to rubble."

A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman disputed the effectiveness of the strike, telling state media that only 23 of the 59 missiles had hit their target.

Syria's military said the U.S. attack violated "all international laws and customs" and that it made America a "partner" of ISIS "and other terrorist organizations." It also condemned the White House for acting "without knowing the truth about what occurred and without identifying those responsible" for the chemical attack.

While the Syrian government condemned the U.S. strike, armed rebel group Ahrar Al Sham told NBC News it welcomed "any U.S. intervention through surgical strikes that would deter the Assad regime capabilities to kill civilians and shorten the suffering of our people."

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a U.K.-based monitoring group, said that Khan Sheikhoun, the town where the chemical attack took place, was bombed again Friday by an unidentified warplane.

A White House official said more than two dozen members of Congress were briefed by administration officials on the missile strike. Vice President Mike Pence returned to the White House after having gone home for dinner Thursday evening and monitored the events from the Situation Room, officials said.

Trump was in Florida for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinpeng. Defense Secretary James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and national security adviser H.R. McMaster traveled to Florida with him.

"We feel that the strike itself was proportional, because it was targeted at the facility that delivered this most recent chemical weapons attack," Tillerson told reporters.

"There was a thorough examination of a wide range of options, and I think the president made the correct choice and made the correct decision," Tillerson said.

Tillerson and Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., have bluntly blamed Syria for the chemical weapons attack, whose victims included at least 25 children.

"We have a very high level of confidence that the attacks were carried out by aircraft under the direction of Bashar al-Assad's regime, and we also have very high confidence that the attacks involved the use of sarin nerve gas," Tillerson said.

He said there were no executive-level communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin before the missile strike but confirmed U.S. officials had "multiple conversations" with the Russian government in accordance with military "deconfliction" agreements.

The unilateral action came after Haley told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday: "When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action."

Only a week earlier, she had told the U.N. that removing Assad from power was no longer America's priority.

Sen. Marco Rubio welcomed the strike and said regime change should now be a focus. He said Trump should now work with other countries "to create alternatives to the Assad regime," he told NBC's TODAY.

The 2017 Royals: nobody knows what’s going to happen with them

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Moberly, Mo., is 162 miles from Kansas City and I've never been there. So if I drove 3 miles in that direction and then told you what Moberly was like, you might be slightly skeptical of that description.

But after three games of 162 a whole bunch of people are willing to predict how the Royals season will turn out.

People love to make predictions, but the truth is nobody knows what's going to happen.

In 2015 - a year that ended with a parade - the Royals lost three games in a row in April, four games in a row in May, three in a row in June, four in a row at the end of June and beginning of July, three in a row at the end of July and four in a row in September.

And people freaked out every time.

So without running around screaming that the sky is falling, let's try to understand what's happened to the Royals in the first three games of 2017.

Too many walks by Royals pitchers

Royals pitchers have issued way too many walks in the first three games and that means the Royals pitchers have to make adjustments.

To understand what kinds of adjustments need to be made, let's look at Matt Strahm.

Strahm says he's "spinning off" which means his front shoulder is flying open too soon. This is so common that catchers have a sign for it; they'll point at their own glove-side shoulder to let the pitcher know he's flying open. It often happens when pitchers get too amped-up and overthrow the ball.

Flying open sets off a chain reaction that has a pitcher's hand on the side of the ball instead of on top of the ball and that makes the pitcher's arm late and he'll miss the target on his arm-side and his pitches will come out flat, with little downward movement.

Strahm can try to overcorrect and aim right, but he's still not real sure where the ball is going.

Twenty-three walks in three games is awful and if the Royals pitchers were to continue to giving up 7.7 walks per game, freaking out would be justified - but the Royals pitchers won't do that.

Matt Strahm and the other pitchers will make adjustments or the team will use different pitchers.

An offense that's probably trying too hard

Three games is an awfully small sample size, but it's all we have at this point and looking up batting splits might help us understand what's happened to the Royals offense.

In 2015, when the Royals hitters were ahead in the count they hit .318 and slugged .525.

When a big-league hitter gets ahead in the count, he can look for a specific pitch in a specific location and when big-league hitters get what they're looking for, they tend to hit the ball lopsided.

But in the first three games of 2017 when Royals hitters are ahead in the count, they're batting .179 and slugging .286.

Even when the Royals are in good hitting counts, they're not producing and that usually means over-swinging and trying to do too much.

You get the pitch you're looking for and try to crush it, your body tightens up and that includes the muscles in your neck, that makes your head move just when it shouldn't and you either miss the ball entirely or pop it up.

Some fans like to see players try hard and smash water coolers when they fail, but baseball doesn't work that way; it's a game that has to be played in a relaxed fluid manner. And with the team off to a poor start, it's not hard to imagine the hitters trying to make up for that with a big hit.

The image of a big-league player just going through the motions and cashing a check is a popular one, but it's inaccurate.

Once in a while you'll run into a guy like that, but for the most part big-league ballplayers are some of the most competitive people on earth and they don't like being embarrassed or losing.

Unfortunately, trying harder doesn't work.

Sloppy play that needs to get cleaned up

In the first three games, the Royals have messed up a simple cutoff and relay (Raul Mondesi), got in a hurry and failed to turn a double play that would have saved them a run (Mondesi again) and failed to tag up and score from third on a ball to the outfield (Lorenzo Cain).

The team isn't pitching or hitting well enough to cover mental mistakes.

But once again, the Royals coaches see everything I see and more, so they'll try to clean this stuff up and make adjustments. And if that doesn't happen, players will be traded, cut or demoted and coaches will be fired.

But it's way too early to predict which one will happen.

We're still 159 miles from Moberly.

Scientists say they have detected an atmosphere around an Earth-sized planet for the first time.

They have studied a world known as GJ 1132b, which is 1.4-times the size of our planet and lies 39 light years away.

Their observations suggest that the "super-Earth" is cloaked in a thick layer of gases that are either water or methane or a mixture of both.

The study is published in the Astronomical Journal.

Discovering an atmosphere, and characterising it, is an important step forward in the hunt for life beyond our Solar System.

But it is highly unlikely that this world is habitable: it has a surface temperature of 370C.

Dr John Southworth, the lead researcher from Keele University, said: "To my knowledge the hottest temperature that life has been able to survive on Earth is 120C and that's far cooler than this planet."
Chemical signatures
The discovery of planet GJ 1132b was first announced in 2015. It lies in the Vela constellation in the southern hemisphere.

One possibility is that it is a 'water world' with an atmosphere of hot steam

While it is a similar size to Earth, the star it orbits is much smaller, cooler and dimmer than our Sun.

Using a telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile, the researchers were able to study the planet by watching how it blocked some of the light of its host star as it passed in front of it.

"It makes the star look a little bit fainter - and it's actually a very good way of finding transiting planets - it's how this one was found," said Dr Southworth.

But different molecules in a planet's atmosphere - if it has one - absorb light in different ways, allowing scientists to look for their chemical signatures when the world transits its star.

The observations of planet GJ 1132b suggest that it has a thick atmosphere containing either steam and/or methane.

"One possibility is that it is a 'water world' with an atmosphere of hot steam," said Dr Southworth.

The researchers say while it is unlikely that any life-forms could survive on this world, the discovery of an atmosphere is encouraging in the hunt for extraterrestrial life.

Dr Southworth said: "What we have shown is that planets around low mass stars can have atmospheres and because there are so many of those in the Universe, it makes it that much more likely that one might have life."

Commenting on the research Marek Kukula, the public astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said: "This is a nice proof of concept.

"If the technology can detect an atmosphere today, then it bodes well for being able to detect and study the atmospheres of even more Earth-like planets in the not-too-distant future."

Jacob Staudenmeier made a great prom-posal to the famous British actress of La La Land, Emma Stone, to go to prom with him. She was unable to attend but she was very touched by the very well made prom-posal.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
High school junior Jacob Staudenmeier re-created the opening scene of " La La Land" to make his plea to the actress to attend the prom with him.

All he needed was a few cars to make it look like he was in a traffic jam, some friends and a reworking of the words to the movie's opening number, "Another Day of Sun."

"People say I look like Ryan Gosling and maybe that's a bit far-fetched," Staudenmeier sings while decked out in a tux and some shades. "Please don't let me down, it'd be in your hometown."

The prom will be April 29 in Phoenix, and Staudenmeier said he was willing to throw in dinner at Olive Garden to sweeten the deal.

Stone, who won the best actress Academy Award for her "La La Land" role, is from nearby Scottsdale.

Staudenmeier appeared Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America" and read a letter he received from Stone with her response.

She called his stunt "the greatest proposal I've ever received."

"I can't tell you what an honor that was and how much I smiled throughout that beautifully orchestrated video," Stone wrote. "I'm in London working, but I hope you have the best time at prom and I'm grateful you thought of me."

Even though the actress can't attend, she did have some heartening words for Staudenmeier.

"Thank you and P.S., I do see Gosling around the eyes," she wrote.

CNN's LaRell Reynolds contributed to this report.
