One look at a creation by Seulbi Kim, a student of industrial design at Rhode Island School of Design, and we're smacking our heads thinking, "Why didn't we think of that?"

Kim's Togo Burger is a folding cardboard caddy that allows an entire fast food meal to be held with one hand. In a series of drawings detailing the innovation, Kim explains her thinking behind it.

"I thought about packages which can minimize materials used, maximize efficiency, and provide convenience for customers as well as staffs at restaurants," she wrote. The Togo Burger is a student project, so don't expect to see it in stores anytime soon -- unless fast food chains take note. We think they should.

On Memorial Day, the country will honor those who served and continue to serve in the military. In that spirit, the documentary 'Honor Flight' follows four World War II veterans on their journey to see the memorial constructed to honor them in Washington, D.C. One of the film's stars, Joe Delmar, joined HuffPost Live to discuss his time in service and the story behind 'Human Skeleton', the iconic image taken of Delmar in a Nazi prison camp in 1945.

Delmar was captured during the Battle of the Bulge and spent months in captivity. When a Life magazine photographer took the famous photo, Delmar weighed less than 70 pounds. "When a little 100-pound nurse lifted me off a gurney and placed me in bed, that's how--then I began to wonder," Delmar said.

"You never forget. From day to day, you never forget," he explained to host Abby Huntsman. "You just thank the lord how lucky--you know, there was eight of us together in the bunks section, and three of us survived. You know, that's some poor odds."

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- An American citizen killed in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan in 2011 was arrested by Pakistani authorities three years earlier but escaped after being released on bail, officials said Thursday.

The Obama administration revealed Wednesday that Jude Kenan Mohammad died in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan's tribal region, making him the fourth American citizen killed by unmanned aircraft in Pakistan and Yemen. The confirmation came as President Barack Obama is expected to deliver a speech in Washington on Thursday that will focus in large part on the administration's expanded use of drones to kill hundreds of people in those two countries and other places where terrorists have taken refuge.

Farmers wearing bulletproof vests and toting assault rifles ride in pick-up trucks emblazoned with the word "self-defense" to protect this rural Mexican town from a drug cartel.

The government deployed thousands of troops to the western state of Michoacan this week, but in some towns like Coalcoman, population 10,000, vigilantes are wary of putting down their weapons until they feel safe again.

"We won't drop our guard until we see results," Antonio Rodriguez, a 37-year-old avocado grower and member of the community force, told AFP.

Authorities detained four members of a self-defense group in another town called Buenavista on Wednesday, angering about 200 residents, some wielding sticks, who surrounded some 20 soldiers to demand their release.

The situation was defused about five hours later, when two of the detainees were released, according to an interior ministry source. Local media reported that all four had been released.

Interior Minister Miguel Angelo Osorio Chong said earlier that the soldiers were merely having a "dialogue" with the residents to resolve the dispute, but he insisted that the authorities would disarm and detain anyone with a weapon.

"The army is there. They asked for security and protection, and they have it. There is no justification to walk around armed," he told Radio Formula.

Last week, Coalcoman residents packed the main square to show their support for the 200-strong vigilante patrol, making it the latest Michoacan town to take up arms in recent months to combat cartel extortion and violence.

AFP journalists saw civilians Wednesday carrying handguns, hunting rifles and even AR-15 semi-automatic rifles in the town, which lies in Tierra Caliente, a region known as a hotbed of cartel activity.

"We got tired of paying the quota," said Adriana, a 32-year-old woman working in a pharmacy.

The "cuota" is extortion money the Knights Templar cartel charges business owners, farmers, taxi drivers and even mayors.

"Anyone who didn't pay would be kidnapped and 'bang, bang,' they'd kill him," said Adriana, squeezing her finger as if pulling a trigger.

In recent months, the self-defense groups detained people they accused of working with the cartels and clashed with drug traffickers. The gangsters responded by besieging towns and preventing food deliveries.

Michoacan was the first state to see troops when then-president Felipe Calderon deployed soldiers and marines across the nation to crack down on cartels in 2006.

But the gang violence surged throughout Mexico, leaving 70,000 deaths in its wake by the time Calderon left office in December.

The government of President Enrique Pena Nieto sent around 4,000 soldiers and marines this week to Michoacan along with 1,000 federal police to restore peace in the agricultural state.

Military surveillance planes fly over towns while soldiers man checkpoints in Tierra Caliente. But self-defense groups still staff their own road blocks in some parts of the state.

"They should first disarm organized crime, then the people," said a young man wearing body armor and a white T-shirt inscribed with the words "self-defense group" on the back.

Late Tuesday, a vigilante patrol detained an alleged thief in Coalcoman, beating him until his face was bloody and then parading him through the town square in front of residents and dozens of federal police.

The road linking Coalcoman to the village of Buenavista is littered with the charred remains of buses and other vehicles that were used by the cartel to block the delivery of food, medicine and other goods.

At the entrance of Buenavista, a sign greets drivers with the words: "Welcome to the village of Buenavista, free of quotas and Knights Templar."

A checkpoint was installed near a white altar with a red cross built by the Knights Templar on the side of the road in honor of Nazario Moreno, alias "El Chayo," a drug lord the government believes was killed in a clash in 2010.

His body was never found and the religion-inspired cartel reveres him like a saint. The words "Saint Nazario" are painted on the Buenavista altar, which is riddled with bullet marks.

Buenavista's vigilantes say the area has become safer since they took up arms.

The Knights Templar accuse the vigilantes of being backed by their enemies, the Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartel, which is linked to the Sinaloa syndicate led by Mexico's most wanted man, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

The self-defense militias deny any links to drug traffickers, but the defense minister suggested Tuesday that some were getting support from dubious groups.

The fat acceptance and body love movements have profoundly changed the way I relate to my body. I think they speak to the very nature of humanity - of what it is, and what it means, to be human.

Also, I'm not fat.

It's hard not to feel a little sympathy for Kim Kardashian since she hasn't had the easier time during her pregnancy.

The 32-year-old reality star has gracefully dealt with the tabloids calling her fat as she's gained weight the way pregnant women tend to do. Her sister Khloe recently took a stand against Kim's body critics, but it seems as though the reality star herself has had a difficult time dealing with her pregnancy curves.

In one scene from the trailer for season 8 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Kim asks "how the f**k did I get like this," while discussing her growing belly with her family, and in another she bares her bump while clad in lingerie.

I’m in my late fifties, dating again after my divorce. It’s so much better than I had imagined it to be. I feel sexier and happier than ever before. And I have dated many men who are quite sexy into their fifties and sixties. What makes them sexy? They certainly don’t need to look like George Clooney, who comes up as the sexiest man over fifty in a Google search. So, what is it that makes men fifty sexy after fifty?

Debra Messing almost missed out on being the latter half of "Will & Grace."

In the June 2013 issue of More magazine, Messing said she rejected the role on hit NBC comedy more than once. “I didn't want to be, for lack of a better word, a f** hag," she said. "And I didn’t want to be just the pretty, straight girl in the corner while the guys did all the funny stuff."

Messing told More, on newsstands Tuesday, May 28, she was worried about the gay characters becoming buffoonish. To quell her fears, "Will & Grace" co-creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick took a bottle of vodka and a lime over to her house to discuss the role.

Gillian Anderson is staging an impressive return to the TV.

Later this month, "The Fall," a five-episode successful BBC 2 series starring Anderson, makes its way to Netflix. The series, which co-stars "The Good Wife's" Archie Panjabi and "Once Upon a Time" veteran Jamie Dornan, is a provocative murder mystery that follows Stella Gibson (Anderson), a detective superintendent who is called in to investigate a serial killer in Belfast.

All five episodes will be on Netflix beginning May 28 and Anderson says it won't disappoint. "Finish 'The Fall,'" she told The Huffington Post in a phone interview. "It gets better and better, I promise."

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released its latest per-pupil spending report, and for New York, the results were not surprising.

In line with data released last year and the year before that, the bureau found that New York spends more money per pupil than any other state.

The results, released May 21, were based on data from the 2011 fiscal year for public elementary-secondary school systems.

An all-male panel of House lawmakers considered a bill on Thursday that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy across the United States, without exceptions for rape, incest or health of the mother.

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, led by the bill's sponsor, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), has no female members.

Torimi Cafe in Japan, known for serving up tea and homemade ice cream while allowing customers to sit among birds, hatched up a new gimmick: pet bird-flavored ice cream.

DUBAI, May 23 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has announced another death from the SARS-like novel coronavirus (nCoV) in its central al-Qassim region, bringing the total number of deaths in the kingdom to 17.

A non-Saudi, whose nationality and age were not given, died on Tuesday, the Health Ministry said on its website late on Wednesday. It said he had been admitted to a hospital in al-Qassim several days ago with an "acute respiratory syndrome".

"Most cases recorded so far are among elderly patients and people with multiple chronic diseases," it added.

A World Health Organization (WHO) spokesman confirmed it had been notified of the new death from the disease, which the WHO plans to call Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

"It is in a different area and doesn't appear to be linked to the recent outbreak and cluster in the eastern part of the country," Glen Thomas told reporters in Geneva.

The WHO's tally of people who have died in the kingdom from nCoV/MERS since it surfaced last year is 18, including one who died in Britain last year after arriving from Saudi Arabia.

The virus, which can cause coughing, fever and pneumonia, is from the same family as the one responsible for an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that killed 775 people worldwide in 2003.

The WHO says a total of 44 cases of the new virus have been recorded so far, 22 of them fatal. Saudi Arabia has had 33 of the cases.

WHO officials say the new virus appears to be transmissible between humans, but only after prolonged, close contact. (Reporting by Amena Bakr; Editing by Sami Aboudi and Kevin Liffey)
