Florida woman jailed for firing 'warning shot' at husband wins new trial

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - A woman sentenced to 20 years in prison after firing a "warning shot" during an argument with her abusive husband won a new trial on Thursday in a case under Florida's controversial self-defense law.

U.S. moves to No. 13 in FIFA global rankings

The U.S. moved up six spots, to No. 13, in September's FIFA world rankings, the highest the national team has been since July 2010. Mexico, meanwhile, fell out of the top 20 for the first time in a year following World Cup qualifying losses to Honduras and the U.S. Despite the huge jump -- the best among teams now in the top 20 -- the U.S. is still six places short of what it may need to get a group seeding in next summer's World Cup in Brazil. FIFA used the world rankings to determine seedings in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, giving one to each of the top seven teams with the final one going to host South Africa. The draw for the World Cup will take place Dec. 6 in Brazil.
