Someone stabbed a 45-year-old plastic surgeon to death, then set fire to his French Quarter home early Saturday.

A verdict has been reached in the penalty phase of the trial of a man convicted of murdering five federal firefighters who were overrun by a wildfire he ignited in Southern California in 2006.

Four more fires were deliberately set early Saturday in an area of eastern Pennsylvania plagued by arsons, authorities said.
