LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mistakes and miscommunication by three governments on three continents over nearly 20 years led to a homeless man known as “Africa” being on Los Angeles’ Skid Row, where he was shot by police after authorities say he became combative and appeared to reach for an officer’s weapon.

The problems began in the late 1990s when French officials gave him a passport under what turned out to be a stolen name. He came to the U.S., robbed a bank and then was convicted and imprisoned under the same false name.

U.S. immigration officials wanted to send him back to his native Cameroon but that country never responded to requests to take him. So he was released from a halfway house last May, and U.S. probation officials lost track of him in November.

It took three failed monthly check-ins for a warrant to be

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — U.S. Ambassador Mark Lippert was in stable condition after a man screaming demands for a unified North and South Korea slashed him on the face and wrist with a knife, South Korean police and U.S. officials said Thursday.

Media images showed a stunned-looking Lippert examining his blood-covered left hand and holding his right hand over a cut on the right side of his face, his pink tie splattered with blood.

The U.S. State Department condemned the attack, which happened at a performing arts center in downtown Seoul as the ambassador was preparing for a lecture about prospects for peace on the divided Korean Peninsula, and said Lippert’s injuries weren’t life threatening.

The U.S. Embassy later said Lippert was in stable condition after surgery at a Seoul hospital. Photos showed a gash on Lippert’s face, starting under his right cheekbone and extending

One of Santa Clarita’s own was inducted into the 43rd National Inventors Hall of Fame at the Smithsonian last year. Canyon Country resident Charles Hull is credited as being the inventor of stereolithography – the first commercial rapid prototyping technology commonly known today as 3D Printing. And Hull is also the Co-Founder and Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer of 3D Systems on Hercules Street in Valencia.

Hull co-founded 3D Systems in 1986 to commercialize the technology he created, including computer-aided design software that allows data to be translated for 3D printers.

Hull, who received his degree in engineering physics from the University of Colorado and later moved to California in 1961, is also the recipient of The Economist’s Innovation Award for his pioneering role in 3D printing technology. The winner of numerous other awards, he also holds 64 patents dating back to 1986 for innovations in the field of 3D printing.

Hull recalls how excited the automotive industry was 25 years ago when presented with the ability to turn around rapid prototypes, at a time when it took manufacturers five years to turn out a new car model so they were the perfect, first adopters of 3D printing, said a spokesperson for Hull.

Growing up on a farm, the manual work was very hard and Hull always found himself looking for ways to improve the work load, do things better to help his family and also to have more time to engage in outdoor activities. His curiosity eventually drew him to study
