A Jewish man was stabbed outside Chabad headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, according to an initial report on Tuesday.

He was black and the Daily News has video. Here we go again. Seems like a clean shoot, but Al Sharpton will no find a way. Al is familiar with Crown Heights.
The St. Louis police chief has asked for the FBI's help investigating what he believes was a hate crime attack against a woman in the same Bosnian neighborhood where a man was beaten to death days earlier by hammer-wielding teens, and where assaults have spiked dramatically in recent months.
The 26-year-old Bosnian-American woman told police she was stopped in her car by three African-American teens early Friday morning in the city's Bevo Mill section, where tens of thousands of Bosnians settled following the civil war in the former Yugoslavia 20 years ago. The incident occurred just blocks from where Zemir Begic, a 32-year-old Bosnian-American, was beaten to death by teenagers with hammers a week earlier.
One of the assailants flashed a gun and ordered the woman out of her vehicle and another hit the woman's windshield with what police believe was a crowbar, authorities said.
"You're Bosnian," one of the suspects allegedly said. "I should just kill you now."
The woman, who was pulled from the car and then beaten, was found unconscious by a passerby, police said. The alleged statement prompted St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson to present the case to the FBI.
"We have been stopped at intersections in Bevo and our car attacked by teens who pound on the car -- laughing at us."
- Resident of St. Louis' Bosnian enclave
"As of now, officers are investigating this incident as a bias crime based on the victim's account of the incident," the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said in an email Monday. "The investigation is ongoing."
Authorities said they don't believe the attacks on Begic and the woman are related, but acknowledged a disturbing rise in violent crime in the area in recent months. Although police have not made a connection, the crime spike coincides with the rioting that followed the August police shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer in nearby Ferguson, Mo.
[THEWRAP] Lena Dunham‘s publisher has responded to a story on conservative blog Breitbart News which questioned the validity of rape allegations in the actress’ memoir, as well as her silence since coming forward with the sexual assault claims. The detailed report on Breitbart also called into question Dunham possibly misidentifying the man who she calls “Barry” in the book. Dat's mighty nice of Tawana.
“As indicated on the copyright page of ‘Not That Kind of Girl’ by Lena Dunham, some names and identifying details in the book have been changed. The name ‘Barry’ referenced in the book is a pseudonym,” the publisher told TheWrap exclusively. “Random House, on our own behalf and on behalf of our author, regrets the confusion that has led attorney Aaron Minc to post on GoFundMe on behalf of his client, whose first name is Barry.”

Lena Dunham publisher collapses
I believe their office is the window second from the right, seven stories up over.
In a video posted online Sunday, astrophysicist Vladimir Lipunov says the newly discovered asteroid could collide with Earth during its three-year orbital cycle.
Vladimir Lipunov, a professor at Moscow State University, announced the find in a short documentary, "Asteroid Attack," posted on the website of the Russian Space Agency on Sunday. Mr. Lipunov says the asteroid, which he calculates is 370 meters in diameter, could hit the Earth with an explosion 1,000 times greater than the surprise 2013 impact of a bus-sized meteor in Russia.
Even though experts say the giant object, known as 2014 UR116, poses no immediate threat of collision, its unexpected discovery underscores how little is still known about asteroids and their unpredictable orbits.
A movement of scientists, astronauts, musicians, and businesspeople have launched a campaign to dramatize the danger and seek ways of protecting Earth from what seems like an inevitable destructive collision. They declared June 30, 2015, the world's first Asteroid Day.

Maybe not AlanC but keep in mind the potential energy involved. Meteor Crater in Ariz. ,about a mile wide, was caused by a rock about the size of a fridge.
A rock this big could take out D.C. and all the surrounding suburbs....hmmm...nope ...don't go there..

Warthog, I understand the energy which it is carrying, I'm commenting on the hyperbolic language.
That sort of exaggeration causes people to say "Oh, another sky is falling." If he wants to talk about energy talk about energy, Hiroshima bombs is a good metaphor, not about volume.

E.g. People in GUAM-WESPAC looking up to the sky and seeing massive explosions on the Moon ...
AFAIK the most likely explanation for such an event would be an ASTEROID OR COMET LUNAR IMPACT, or in altern NATURAL INTERNAL LUNAR VOLCANISM resulting from gross or abnormal destabilization of the gravity fields between the Sun + the Earth-Moon.
The principles will be the same per this space rock.
On a separate but not necessarily unrelated note, this Artic makes me wonder iff the then-Soviet KGB-now-Russian-FSB had a much larger role in attempting psycho-programming/probing agz
moi than the CIA-FBI.
Given ANNA CHAPMAN + in particular ANNA LONGINOVA.

Johannesburg - The South African government and President Jacob Zuma have been caught in the middle of an international wrangle over as much as R2 trillion in US dollars as well as hundreds of tons of gold and at least six million carats of diamonds in assets belonging to the people of Libya.
What could be the world's largest cash pile is stored in palettes at seven heavily guarded warehouses and bunkers in secret locations between Joburg and Pretoria.
The Libyan billions have led to a Hawks investigation into possible violation of exchange controls as well as international interests from the UN and the US.
It has also led to heightened interest in the local and international intelligence community as well as the criminal underworld.
Those interested in the Libyan loot include several high-ranking ANC politicians, several business leaders, a former high court judge and a number of private companies.
The R2-trillion held in warehouses is separate from several other billions, believed to be in excess of R260 billion, held legally in four banks in South Africa. Other legal assets include hotels in Joburg and Cape Town.
The Sunday Independent has seen official South African government documents which confirm that at least $179bn in US dollars is kept, illegally, in storage facilities across Gauteng. Comments are about how the ANC will steal this, if they haven't already.
#2
Most of the assets were taken out of Libya when President Jacob Zuma got invoved in an African Union process to persuade former Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi to step down after an uprising to force him out of office began in February 2011, according to the newspaper.
On April 10, 2011, Zuma announced that Gaddafi had accepted a roadmap for ending the conflict in that country following talks in Tripoli. Libyan rebels rejected the plan.
I was curious at the time regarding Zuma's involvement and the AU success at getting Khadafi to step down. The AU so seldom enjoy success of any kind. Ag, poor old Khadafi passing away before he could link-up once again with his funds. So very tragic and unexpected. The names of the SA firms and principals behind the movement and security of the goods should make very good reading. This could get quite nasty.

It's only there because Quaddfi got an email from the wife of a deceased South African banking official, who offered to split the money her husband had left in a bank account, if only the blessed person receiving the message ...

English language press sympathetic to the Ukrainian side are currently buzzing with the news that "up to 200" Russian soldiers were killed in artillery fire at the Donetsk airport around the first part of December.
According to the Facebook page of a woman identifying herself as a human rights activist Elena Vasilyeva, the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation confirmed the deaths of the soldiers in a report. A link to the report has yet to emerge.
As a matter of course, the Russian ministry of defense doesn't post documents to its website, nor do they prepare news briefs to reporters.
About a month ago the Ukrainian defense ministry claimed that a total of 200 Donbas rebels were killed in artillery attacks at the Donbas airport, which if true, would account for about 80 percent of the known Donbas rebel forces at the scene.
So far, Donbas rebel media have not confirmed anything, except that military bloggers have said in the recent past that one rebel unit, totaling 20 effectives, were killed in a rocket artillery attack at about the same time.
It turned out in that attack, that rebel commanders had been mugging for Ukrainian television, which had broadcast the images, leading Ukrainian artillery units to grid the location and open fire.
Such massive casualties even in rocket artillery fire are rare, especially in the targeted force are trained soldiers, as any Russian targets would certainly be.
Whatever the status are of Russian forces in eastern Ukraina, both sides in the conflict have been fighting despite agreeing to a truce. Just a few days ago officials in Lugansk, along with ceasefire monitoring military officers from the Ukrainian and Russian armies along with observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, agreed to a total ceasefire to begin December 5th. Much of the fighting in the area, concentrated near the north and on the right bank of the Northern Donetsk River, continued despite the December 5th deadline.
Meanwhile in western Donetsk around the region of the airport in northern Donetsk city, artillery fire and direct combat intensified over the weekend, with Ukrainian forces attempting what Donbas rebel characterized as a reconnaissance in force leading to Makeevka using tanks and other armored vehicles, according to the Voice of Sevastopol Russian language news website.
It later turned out the attack was a diversion as Ukrainian forces relocated other forces from one sector of the front to another.
The heaviest fighting since December 6th centered around Gorlovka and Debaltsevo, northeast of Donetsk city, where fighting included massive artillery fire from both asides, including counterbattery fire by rebel artillery units. The issue in the ground maneuvers was a rebel attempt to open the road between Gorlovka and Dzerzhinsk, to the west.
In Debaltsevo, east of Gorlovka, Ukrainian and rebel artillery exchanged fire, and both sides hit targets in the area, with rebel artillery hitting a Ukrainian checkpoint both at Debaltsevo and Uglegorsk, and at targets at Kamenka settlement, as Ukrainian artillery hit the nearby settlements of Yuzhnokommunarovsk, Redkodub, and Nikishino.
On December 7th, Ukrainian ground units including tanks probed rebel defenses at Gorlovka, near Shirokaya Balka and Glubokoye using tanks for direct fire artillery. Ukrainian artillery units positioned at Dzerzhinsk, Novobakhmutovka and near Zaitsevo fired into Gorlovka, according to rebel media. Rebel artillery units attempted counterbattery fire on Ukrainian artillery.
In Nikishino, both sides exchanged artillery fire. A small rebel force attempted a probe, but was driven back with the loss of one soldier.
Lugansk
Fighting continued on December 6th but on a smaller scale around the town of Stanitsa Luganskaya, where rebel units have been trying to take over the town. Despite that, Ukrainian ground units reprotedly have been pushed further in towm, and north of the town, as rebel units continue to push forces into town, and into the bridhehead.
Rebel artillery units hit Ukrainian checkpoints along highway T1303, and small arms firefights were reported near Tryokhizbyonka and Krimskoye.
By December 7th, artillery fire was almost non existent in the region near highway T1303.
Ukrainian artillery units hit at targets at Vesyolaya Gora, south of Schastye and at Zelyonaya Roscha west of Stanitsa Luganskaya. Artillery fire was heard around T1303.

See also DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IN THE FRST TWO DAYS OF DECEMBER, 300 RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WERE KILLED.
Apparently Russia's campaign in support or defense of East Ukraine separatists isn't going well, to be polite.
Unless something changes, the main result of RussMil casualty lists like this in LT will be to inspire the Hard Boyz to genunely attack Russia, because they will no longer have fear of Russia's army = ability to retaliate.
Putin Orders Troops To Wartime Bunker; Warns “Global War Is Near”
[EUTimes] A truly grim Ministry of Defense (MoD) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that President Putin has ordered over 2,000 top military officers to immediately begun duties at the National Defense Control Center (NDCC) which is, in fact, Russia’s “wartime government” headquarters in Moscow as “global war nears”.
According to this report, Putin’s order came immediately after his meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara earlier today wherein an agreement was reached to increase Russian energy supplies to Turkey in exchange for that NATO member’s pledge of neutrality in any future Ukrainian conflict. I'm not confident about the credibility of this source, but it makes for interesting speculation. With America led by the incumbent warm cup of spit, such as we have, adventurous adversaries are certainly unlikely to behave with constraint.

Mr Putin can scarcely afford to go to war. Neither can he quit selling gas and oil to punish Europe. Aside from his rather vocal fan club's cheers, things don't look very promising for the Russian people in the foreseeable future.

On the eve of renewed peace talks in Minsk, news from Russia indicates that Russian president Vladimir Putin is seeking a settlement in the eight month long war in southeastern Ukraine, according to Russian language press accounts.
According to a news item posted on the Euromaidan website, Russia is signalling its willingness to accept autonomy for the two breakaway oblasts (provinces) Lugansk and Donetsk, instead of driving for a settlement which allows the two oblasts to function as independent states.
The source of the putative compromise is unclear. Part of the temporary items in the September 5th Ceasefire included autonomy for the two republic, and in line with the agreement the Ukrainian parliament did pass a law granting autonomy, which was limited to just a few months.
Just last month both republics held elections for parliament and president, an action that Ukraine and its allies decried as illegal under the ceasefire, and Donetsk has been floating the idea of its own currency. Both are seen as sure signs that Donetsk is seeking to become independent.
However, officials in Luganks on their own have signaled their willingness to engage in the new talks scheduled to open today in Minsk, and have mostly stopped fighting within their own borders. Officials in Donetsk, dealing with their own problems with regard to the ceasefire have insisted on delaying talks to December 12th, and have been generally less than enthusiastic in settling issues with the Ukrainian government.
Donetsk permanent envoy Denis Pushilin announced Monday evening he will not attend the December 9th talks.
The Ukrainians have accused Russia of driving all aspects on the civil war including providing troops and supplies. According to the news article this report is based on three top rebel commanders were removed from their posts at the behest of Russian General Sergei Surovikin, said to be part of the Russian Army general staff (STAVKA).
Two of the commanders, FSB Colonel Igor Girkin, identified as Strelkov, and Cossack Ataman Nikolay Kozitsin, were said to have become "too independence minded" when it came to their respective roles in the war in southeastern Ukraine.
Col. Girkin has a long history of involvement in the smaller republics in southern Russia including in Chechnya and South Ossetia, and now in southeastern Ukraine.
Girkin maintains a tremendous respect among Russians and non Russians alike for his actions in the early part of the war when he conducted a retreat under heavy artillery fire from Slovyiask toward Lugansk and Donetsk, and is said to have been the architect of the defeat of the Ukrainian army, which ended in Ilovaisk and cost the Ukrainians, it is reported, as many as 10,000 effectives dead.
Girkin was removed in early August.
Ataman Nikolay Kozitsin commanded his forces in the northern line of contact in Lugansk, and like Girkin, was a very poplar military leader. Kozitsin's exit came about around the time only weeks ago, that Cossack units were fighting with Lugansk rebels because the rebels were beginning to trade with the Ukrainian government, and were making plans to settle their part of the conflict.
GRU Colonel Igor Bezler, their third rebel commander said to have been removed for his pro independence views, was apparently sent to Poltava, Ukraine to serve as a guerrilla commander. Bezler, like Girkin, has a long history of working with the Russian military in their activities in the smaller republics including in Chechnya and South Ossetia. He has been accused, and videos have surface purporting Bezler executing civilians by firing squad.
A blogger at kont.ws blogger center said Sunday that meetings between Putin and French president Francois Hollande weren't about the French refusal to begin delivery of troop transport ships France had been building, but were about seeking a compromise in Ukraine.
According to the inidentified writer the settlement for Russia's part would be similar to the settlement for South Ossetia in 2008:
1) Russian would completely withdraw its troops from Ukraine and would promise no more interference in Ukrainian affairs.
2) The west would end sanctions against Russia
3) Poroshenko and the Maidan political movement would cease their anti Russian activity in Ukraine, along with their rhetoric.
According to the posting, the third item was not imposed on Georgia at the time, but the anti Russian rhetoric was tempered sufficiently to satisfy the third requirement.
All of those items fails to address the issue of Crimea, which Russian annexed last spring, after military action and an election. The Ukrainians could gum up the works by demanding linkage of the issue of Crimea with a settlement in southeastern Ukraine.
Russia has long claimed much of its actions in Crimea were based on hostile anti-Russian actions on the part of the nascent Maidan government in Kiev, and the fact that Russian needed to maintain its Black Sea fleet.

(MSN) – In an attempt to promote transparency in military activities between the two countries, Russia will conduct an observation flight over the United States as part of the Treaty on Open Skies between Dec. 8 and Dec. 13, Sergei Ryzhkov, head of Russia’s National Nuclear Risk Reduction Center, said Monday.
The flight will be launched from Travis Air Force Base in California and cover a maximum range of 2,640 miles. A group of U.S. specialists Chosen by whom?
will also board the Russian aircraft to monitor the flight and to ensure that norms of the treaty are not violated. According to the U.S. Department of State, the Treaty on Open Skies allows 34 participating countries to carry out observation flights over each other’s territories to gather information through aerial imaging on military forces and activities that are of concern to them.

UNSW Australia's solar researchers have converted over 40% of the sunlight hitting a solar system into electricity, the highest efficiency ever reported.
The record efficiency was achieved in outdoor tests in Sydney, before being independently confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at their outdoor test facility in the United States.
The work was funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and supported by the Australia-US Institute for Advanced Photovoltaics (AUSIAPV).

A key part of the prototype's design is the use of a custom optical bandpass filter to capture sunlight that is normally wasted by commercial solar cells on towers and convert it to electricity at a higher efficiency than the solar cells themselves ever could.
I don't get it. A band-pass filter removes part of the input. It doesn't shift the input frequency. Not clear how this can capture 'wasted' sunlight. Of course, the information has been passed thru a journalism filter...

Seems like something that might have been noticed before product rollout, like maybe during testing. Do you suppose this is what General Wassisname was referring to when he said global warming was one of the biggest problems our military faced?
Though the cost of the paint is $3,900 per-truck, it’s undoubtedly cheaper than another costly fix to the entire fleet, which uses the fuel as a coolant to absorb heat from the JSF’s powerful subsystems before passing into the engine.
Y'all need to find whoever did that cost/benefit analysis and give them a good smack. I suspect there are some bigger issues beyond the cost of a paint job. On the other hand, the F-35 will likely do well in the coming Ice Age.

Maybe to extend the cooling effects after the bird is fueled, the F-35 can be painted pink, like WWII birds and even as recent as Have Blue (F-117 prototype)
Added benefit; it fits nicely with the diversity-based military so all the gays will have something to prance around.....

The F-35 hasn't killed pilots like the F-22 as of yet, the howls will amplify. Now, seriously if we cancel the F-35 ABC, what shall we replace it with? You in the back, "Something better and cheaper!" Pick one, "cheaper?" Okay, let's reopen the F-16 line? "Better then?" Alright rebuild the jigs for the F-22. We can afford, umm,... 24.
Srsly, F-18x for the air force, navy, marines, Fleet Air Arm et. Al.?
Or fix the F-35 like we've fixed generation after generation of cutting edge aircraft?
#9
Shipman: the F-35 is a boondoogle from the get go. Too complex for the USMC in the forward areas ( look for that damn lift fan to be the #1 maintenance issue),
and the build tolerances were damn hardtoo meet; in a former life I was the QA manager for the company that trimmed and drilled the panels for the aircraft ( 5 axis CNC) hole tolerances were +/- 0.004" and if you were outside that, the panel was a reject pending L-M engineers. and these holes were frickkin' pilot holes; they got drilled up full size on the ass'y line. The carbon fiber recipe that was used was so sensitive to edge delamination during the milling that we had to track how many inches we cut with each diamond tipped cutter and replace them, sometimes after only 40 inches of travel. at north of $400 per.....
Yeah mark me down for a re-opening of the F-22 and since the tooling and engineering is all paid for, toss in a sh!tload of the damn Lawn Darts. Consider them expendable. Remember they were originally the A-7 replacement.
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Protests have turned violent in Berkeley, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, after demonstrators hit the streets for the second consecutive night to speak out against the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York.
A crowd of 750 protesters swarmed freeway overpasses at two locations in Berkeley, near the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... , prompting police to move in to clear the roadways and handcuff some protesters.
Three officers and a technician were hurt and six people were enjugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
Some protesters hurled objects at police, who responded by firing gas, the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate division said on its Twitter feed.
It said demonstrators threw unspecified 'explosives' while protesters targeted them with rocks and bottles and tried to light a patrol vehicle on fire.

One - it's going to be hard for people to say as they wonder back to their holes that they were just 'bystanders' who happen to catch a whiff of the gas. It's sort of like the pillory for the marked.
Two - it starts to dry, becomes sticky and crusts up and attract flies and other wonders of nature. Hosing protestors with water just eventually dries (ask anyone who's had to cross an water obstacle). Getting the gunk out of every fold and crack and strand is another matter.
Three - it's "earth friendly" to those stuck around the the miscreants whether they be motorists, shop or home owners.
