[Rooters] A man shot and killed two people near the town of Ansbach in northern Bavaria and the suspect was under arrest, German police said on Friday.
The gunman shot a woman from his silver Mercedes convertible
Managerial class, one assumes, with a probability of being lord of the manor because he had a gun. If only he'd been in a similar BMW, he'd have been having too much fun driving to want to take potshots at the peasantry.
in Leutershausen-Tiefenthal and later shot a cyclist in nearby Rammersdorf, police in southern Germany said.
The man also appears to have shot at two other people, a farmer and another motorist, but they were unhurt, police said.
Local media reported that the suspect was detained at a petrol station in Bad Windsheim, several kilometers (miles) to the north of Ansbach. Police plan to hold a news conference on Friday afternoon. Near EC's neighborhood. I pray he and his family are alright.
[NBC] The city has decided to hold a ticker-tape parade to celebrate the U.S. women's soccer team's World Cup victory, marking the first time in more than half a century that the honor will be bestowed upon female athletes.
Mayor de Blasio's office has announced plans for the parade, which will be held Friday beginning at 11 a.m. along Broadway from the Battery to City Hall, known as the Canyon of Heroes.
All are invited to celebrate along the parade route. Those who want a chance to attend the special program at City Hall can go to nyc.gov/parade or call 311 on Wednesday between 2 to 4 p.m. to sign up.
NBC 4 New York will be live streaming the parade on air and online. New Yorkers to pick up the estimated $1.5m tab. Worth it. The women's team had a great tournament. Their dismantling of the Japanese in the final was one for the soccer ages...

USWNT won it all in 1991 and 1999; not sure if there was a NYC or other ticker-tape parade. Would have been nice if the article mentioned that half-century ago thingy.
Airline spokeswoman Karen May said the pilot is allowed to carry a gun on domestic flights under a post-9/11 federal program intended to make planes harder to hijack.
News to me. I thought they never implemented the program.
[NEWSWEEK] DJ Williams says that for a while, he was only as interested in vampires as the next guy. I'm the next guy. I had no interest at all.
Then he met a woman who identified as a real-life vampire. She identified as a black vampire, like Blackula.
“Up until that point I didn't know that there was such a community,” says Williams, director of the social work program at Idaho State University. Actually she was white and ate mostly BLTs but being Blackula made her feel "special."
But then he discovered that vampires who feed on other people's blood exist, though they don't necessarily have fangs or capes. I'm pretty sure some of them own capes. They hold them over their faces and peer over the top, like Bela Lugosi did in Plan 9 From Outer Space.
So he set out to learn everything he could. Did that include reading the book? And watching all the movies?
“It took a few years. Bram Stoker's prose wasn't all that thick, so I suppose the extended length of research time involved waiting for the movies to come up on Turner Movie Channel.
Real vampires are quite distrustful, for good reason.” That stake through the heart thing is just so... permanent.
But once he published his early findings about what he called their “artistic, expressive and rather normal and healthy” practices, they opened up to him about what was really involved in being a bloodsucker. Back in my day we had people whom we termed "delusional." Sometimes they thought they were Napoleon Bonaparte, or Emperor of San Francisco and its environs. Some thought they were black. It used to be funny to see a 60-ish white guy dancing like Cab Calloway until his back went out. That's not funny anymore, by decree of some liberal Keeper of the Public Thought Processes.
His latest research on the subject, published in the journal Critical Social Work, explores the unique issues those people who identify as vampires face when seeking counseling. "Doc! Doc! It hurts when I do dis!"
"Don't do dat. Next patient!"
As Williams and his co-author Emily Prior explain in the paper, there are “real” vampires, who consume energy (as blood or otherwise), and “lifestyle” vampires, who emulate other aspects of vampire mythology, such as wearing certain clothes or sleeping in coffins. The researchers focused on the “real” ones. Anybody can wear a cape or sleep in a coffin. It takes a "real" vampire to rip somebody's throat out and drink his blood.
Fear not—“real” vampires don't prey on the necks of damsels in distress. Now, dammit, if I was a real vampire I'd be hunting up all the damsels in distress I could find. It's not like anybody'd do anything to me. All I'd have to do would be to sniff like Bela Lugosi used to do (how do you sniff if you're dead and therefore don't breathe?) and tell 'em it was my alternative lifestyle and they were oppressing me. "Be off witcher microaggressions!" I'd cry, waving my cape for emphasis and they'd disappear, gone back to their safe rooms.
Rather, they seek consenting individuals and use razors or scalpels to make small incisions in their chests and lick or suck out the blood. Ewwww. I'd stick with leaving hickeys on the necks of damsels in distress.
The vampires claim they need to feed on “a willing 'donor' in order to maintain physical, psychological and spiritual health,” according to the paper. I mean, I don't even like blood sausage. Head cheese makes me queasy. I've no idea whether I like beef tongue or not. I've never had the nerve to try it.
Without the feedings, the vampires believe “their overall health and well-being suffer.” Poor things. They just sit in the corner and mope.
Often the donors are in committed romantic relationships with the vampires, Williams says. "I vant to zuck yore blooood!"
"Dat ain't what I had in mind, but I guess it's okay. But only as foreplay!"
The Atlanta Vampire Alliance, a “real” vampire membership group, connected the researchers with 11 adult vampires. "So! How long have you been a vampire?"
"1,232 years, come September."
The research doesn't dwell on the bloody aspects. A paper on vampires that doesn't dwell on the bloody aspects? So it's really all about the cape, the accent, and the stake through the heart. I'll stick with putting hickeys on Mina Harker, thanks.
Instead, it explains how vampires feel that they cannot open up—or as the researchers write, come “out of the coffin”—to social workers. I double-checked the date on this article. It's not April Fool's as far as I can tell.
The participants reported feeling that if they disclosed their vampire identities, clinicians would view them as delusional "Quick, nurse! He's doing it again!"
"Stand aside, Dr. van Helsing! I'll get him!"
"I vant to zuck yore... Boobies!"
"[CLANG!] [Stuff!] [Stuff!] Gets 'em every time!"
or as a “threat to public safety.” "You, there! Unhand that feral street child!"
"[CLICK!] [Slice!] Aaaiiieee! I am undone!"
"Don't forget the stake, Tyrone!"
They feared losing their jobs. "I got a complaint to make!"
"What's that, sir or madam?"
"The teller in Window Three has blood all over his chin!"
One person worried that “the state would take my children away.” ...and with good reason.
The subject is prescient in a time when how one self-identifies is a topic of national conversation—from the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage to Caitlyn Jenner's coming out as a woman and appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair. Yeah, yeah. And don't forget Rachel Whatsername, who thinks she's black. Fact is, my delusion that I'm a cowboy doesn't buy me a horse.
Williams says his research can apply to others who feel they too must hide how they self-identify. “Any little-understood minority group can be at risk for not being understood [by social workers]. So the same fears that these vampires reported would apply to other minorities.” So if someone is convinced that faeries dance on their lawn in the moonlight a social worker will stop by to play the fiddle?
Other so-called vampires have emerged from out the shadows in recent years. A contestant on the Syfy reality show Mad Mad House named Don Henrie claimed to sleep in a coffin in order to deal with his fibromyalgia. Last year the Daily Mail profiled a married couple that drank each others' blood. Ours is the Age of Understanding. The previous Age was the Age of Bluntness. I'm afraid I'm a holdover from that age. I'm calling the lot of them--vampires, social workers, and Rachel Whatsername--nuttier than fruitcakes. They should all be committed, preferably in the same crazy house, where they could give each other hickies, pretend to faint at the sight of a noose, a cross, or garlic, and otherwise "understand" morons who don't deserve a second thought.
One website lists 38 ways “to help you figure out if you are a real vampire or not.” Item One: Are you dead most of the time.
Item Two: Do you turn to dust and blow away in sunlight?
Item Three: Can you turn yourself into a bat?
Item Four: Do you own a cape?
Item Five: Do you lack a body temperature?
The list includes having unusually pale skin, surviving an accident with only minor scrapes, rarely getting sick and having night vision. Whaddya mean "do you have unusually pale skin"? What about black people? They can't be vampires? What about Blackula? You think he's just a blaxploitation movie character?
To identify other vampires, the website suggests keeping an eye out for people with shallow breathing, They're just pretending to breathe because they're actually dead.
mood changes "I vant to zuck yore... SQUIRREL!"
I'd call that short attention... whatever.
and fingernails that are as clear as glass. What happens when vampires zuck the blood of people with AIDS? I guess it wouldn't be fatal if you were already dead.
The stigma against people believed to be vampires goes back at least as far as medieval times. In 2009, researchers at the University of Florence published a photograph of a 16th century woman, who they said was likely thought to be a vampire, buried with a brick in her mouth to prevent her from eating victims of the plague. A photograph of a 16th century woman? Isn't that one of the tipoffs, not decomposing like the rest of us eventually do?
More recently, people in the 18th and 19th centuries exhumed bodies of people who they suspected were vampires because they had died mysteriously, according to Smithsonian magazine. "Where's Grampaw?"
"He died."
"Well, that's certainly mysterious."
"Y'think we oughta dig him up?"
"I'll get the shovel."
The lives of Williams's vampires weren't as extraordinary. “Real vampires seem to be ordinary human beings with common, everyday human issues, such as trying to be successful in relationships and careers, managing stress, coping with daily living tasks, and adjustments to transitions,” the paper says. "They're just normal folks who sleep in coffins and suck blood."
Kind of like cutting then, only shared? Or taking up skiing?
“If they drink blood, that is perceived as being dangerous and delusional,” Williams says. That, he adds, is “the big misconception.” No,it's not. It's a clear-eyed perception. Our world has reached the point where a character designed specifically to embody evil, or perhaps capital Evil, is "understood." I have just one word: Ptui!

It's already no secret where they do their banking.

About that exchanging blood thing -- a good way to accumulate diseases, one would think. I only hope they are extremely monogamous, or it will be considerably worse within the group than how quickly HIV spread in gay bath houses.

Hard time finding virgin blood these days, Count? Well, the best I can advise is to swing to the 'other side' and hit the campuses. You'll likely find better hunting there. Warning, you'll be in competition from the witches hunting there as well.

[Breitbart] The party of Russian president Vladimir Putin has released a flag for straight pride which celebrates #realfamilies, offering a counterpoint to the present celebrations and homomania presently gripping the United States and other developed nations.
The flag, closely based on a design long used by French traditional-marriage advocacy group La Manif Pour Tous (the marriage for all) is enhanced by the addition of a third child to the depicted 'traditional family' and the Cyrillic hash-tag #RealFamilies. The change is entirely in line with present Russian government policy, which is attempting to turn-around the declining birthrate by encouraging Russian mothers to have more children as an alternative to mass immigration.

[Al Ahram] Russia now poses the greatest threat to US national security and its behavior is "nothing short of alarming," Marine General Joseph Dunford, the man nominated to be the US military's top officer, said Thursday.
Dunford -- who is currently the commandant of the US Marine Corps -- told senators at his confirmation hearing that the Pentagon nevertheless needed to maintain some kind of military-to-military relationship with Moscow.
"Russia presents the greatest threat to our national security," Dunford, who would replace General Martin Dempsey as chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Dunford also cited China, North Korea and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group as threats to US national security.
Relations between the United States and Russia have been rocky since Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimea region last year.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff acts as the top military advisor to the US president and the secretary of defense.

NO, IMO despite Russia's Nuke Arsenal its only the most aggressive + bellicose under Darth Vlad - the greater danger is vee China is because China is still a "Mahanist" WIP in achieving its strategic access ambitions all around its periphery, from the East-South China Seas to the IOR to overland CENTASIA.
[GUAM'S CAMEL ROCK here].
Russia under Darth Vlad + predecessors already has or controls most of the strategic access it desired or wanted in histoire', albeit this is not to argue it can't use a few extra.
[ALMANAR.LB] North Korea responded angrily Thursday to reports in the South Korean media about a recent spate of high-level defections and executions, calling them Nazi-style propaganda aimed at tarnishing Pyongyang's image.
The reports in a number of publications have been accompanied by speculation that the defections signal a growing instability in the North Korean leadership under Kim Jong-Un.
In a lengthy commentary, the North's official KCNA news agency dismissed the reports as wild rumor and "sheer lies".
"The false propaganda ... is a foolish and base politically-motivated conspiratorial farce" aimed at giving the impression of a mood of "uneasiness and horror" within the ranks of the North's brass hats, it said.
KCNA specifically rubbished a report about the recent defection of a top-ranking general to the South.
South Korean Channel A - a subsidiary of the conservative Dong-A Ilbo daily - reported last week that Lieutenant General Pak Sung-Won, a deputy chief of the General Staff of the North Korean army, had escaped to Seoul via Moscow.
KCNA said the report was "sheer nonsense" and stated that Pak was currently commanding a construction project at the Masikryong Ski Resort - a pet project of the supreme leader.
The commentary also took issue with the recent report of an execution, apparently that of two North Korean students for watching pornography.

[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... 's chairman joined growing international calls for Greece to be granted debt restructuring as part of any new loan deal if it delivers convincing reforms to avert imminent bankruptcy.
The call was an implicit challenge to Germany, Athens' biggest creditor, which has so far ruled out any write-offs as illegal and taken a restrictive view of reprofiling the debt to help Greece over a major repayment hump this year.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was finalizing a tough package of tax hikes and pension reforms to send to euro zone authorities by midnight in a race to secure agreement at the weekend on a third financial rescue for his country.
European Council President Donald Tusk, who is to chair a special euro group summit on Sunday that will decide Greece's fate, hoped the plans would be concrete and realistic.
"The realistic proposal from Greece will have to be matched by an equally realistic proposal on debt sustainability from the creditors. Only then will we have a win-win situation," he said. "Otherwise, we will continue the lethargic dance we have been dancing for the past five months."
Failure to reach a deal on Sunday, including releasing some money to enable Athens to cover debt service over the next few weeks could lead to a collapse of Greek banks next week, sending the economy into freefall and possibly catapulting the country out of the euro zone.
If there is no agreement, all 28 European Union leaders will discuss measures to limit the damage from a Greek collapse, including humanitarian aid, possible border controls and steps to mitigate the impact on neighbors, EU officials said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom... said a classic "haircut" - a write-off of principal - was out of the question. She did not rule out other forms of debt relief such as extending loan maturities, lower interest rates or a longer moratorium on debt service payments.

[Al Ahram] Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu vowed a quick start to coalition talks on Thursday, after President Tayyip Erdogan instructed him to form a new government more than a month after an election deprived their AK Party of a parliamentary majority.
Opposition politicians had accused Erdogan, a founder of the AKP and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's most popular - and polarising - political figure, of deliberately delaying the process to push for a snap election he hopes might see the AKP regain a majority.
Erdogan gave Davutoglu the mandate to form a new government during a meeting in his palace in Ankara, the presidency said. Political parties now have 45 days to form a new government or face the prospect of a re-run.
The June 7 vote left the AKP unable to rule alone for the first time in over a decade, plunging Turkey into political uncertainty not seen since the 1990s and thwarting, for now, Erdogan's ambition to amass greater power.
Davutoglu told AKP members in parliament he planned to hold a first round of coalition talks next week. Sources in his office said he would meet all three opposition parties and that the first round would be concluded by next Wednesday.

Oh, she resigned? Good riddance just the same... I'm surprised they did it in the morning. If they had waited until 4 pm it would have been too late for the evening news...
Washington (CNN)--Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta resigned Friday, a day after revealing the recent data breach of government computers was vastly larger than originally thought.
Archuleta confirmed her departure in an email to OPM staff.
"I write to you this afternoon to share that earlier today, I offered and the President accepted my resignation as the Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management," she wrote. "Leading this agency and serving with all of you has been the highlight of my career."

Yes. Executed. Not one more public dollar needs to go to her or to house and feed her fat ass. She helped cause more damage to this country and its interests than almost anyone before.
This way it only gets covered on Friday and the weekend news shows can get on with more important matters, like the ticket tape parade for the Womyn's metric football team.
[DAWN] HYDERABAD: The owner of a generator repairing shop received bullet wounds while resisting an alleged robbery bid on Wednesday at his shop located in Hirabad.
According to maimed Rafique Shah, eight gunnies riding four cycle of violences broke into his shop and tried to deprive him of cash withdrawn from an ATM a couple of minutes ago. He put up a stiff resistance but the robbers opened fire wounding him.
However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... SHO of the Market cop shoppe Munir Abbasi said it seemed to be the result of a dispute over some matter between the two sides.
He doubted that eight persons would come and ride away without snatching a single penny from the victim.
He said an investigation was under way.

[ARABNEWS] India's top court Thursday ordered a federal investigation into a multimillion-dollar college admission and government job recruitment scandal in central India said to be linked to dozens of mysterious deaths.
The Supreme Court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation, India's FBI, to take over from the state police the investigation into the alleged irregularities in job recruitment and college admissions as well as the deaths of nearly 50 people associated with the scam.
Police have tossed in the slammer Please don't kill me! hundreds of parents and students for paying bribes and officials for allegedly rigging eligibility tests for admission to medical colleges and recruitment for jobs in the police force, schools and banking sector in Madhya Pradesh state.
The court also directed the Madhya Pradesh government to respond to a petition demanding the removal of the state's federally appointed governor after questions were raised about his involvement in the scandal. Gov. Ram Naresh Yadav's son Shailesh Yadav died mysteriously in May after the younger man was alleged to have accepted bribes in the governor's house.
Opposition Congress party leaders had been demanding a federal inquiry into the scam, accusing the Madhya Pradesh government of trying to influence the outcome of the inquiry by the state police.
Congress leader Digvijay Singh demanded the resignation of Madhya Pradesh's top elected official, saying Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan should step down to allow for a free and fair investigation.
"Students who have been arrested in connection with the scam should be made witnesses for the state," Singh said. "Isn't it strange that hundreds of students and their parents are in jail, while those who took the bribes are roaming free," he told news hounds Thursday.
More than 2,500 people have been accused in connection with the scandal and around 1,900 of them have been arrested.
