[Baltimore Sun] Robert Ponsi, 29, a server at a restaurant in Harbor East, was stabbed to death on his bicycle during a robbery in Waverly Saturday night, police said.
Officers were called at 9:10 p.m. and found Ponsi stabbed multiple times at Venable Avenue and Old York Road. He was pronounced dead just before 4 a.m. at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Police have arrested two suspects in the attack: Antwan Eldridge, 17, of Ednor Gardens, and Daquan Middleton, 16, of Berea. Both are charged as adults with murder, armed robbery and assault, police said.
Homicide detectives are looking to identify other suspects. Anyone with information may call 410-396-2100 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
Ponsi moved to Baltimore five years ago from Leesburg, Fla., where he was raised by his grandparents, his grandfather, Robert Ponsi, 72, said.
Known as "Robbie" to his family, he was the second-eldest of six children, and an athletic, strong-willed young man who had hoped to join the AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps, his grandfather said. Photographs and other inconvenient bits of truth found here.

A man takes his son, just able to walk, to the top of the hill overlooking a valley of rocks and of cedars and says, "do you see those soldier and settlers down there beyond the fence?" "Yes papa" the son replies. The father then tells his son each day, "your mission in life is to the kill them and chase the survivors from this land."
If this walk up the hill is repeated daily until the son is full grown, what then can we expect of the outcomes ?
If the government and educational institutions reinforce the father's efforts by instilling victimization and entitlement, what then can we expect of the outcomes.
If some sort of false racial 'privilege' becomes a narrative for stoking the flames of fear and hatred.....well, I need not go on.
[CHANNELNEWSASIA] Indian police successfully deployed an unusual technique to retrieve a gold chain that a thief had swallowed while officers were in hot pursuit - they force-fed him more than 40 bananas.
The man denied snatching the chain from a woman in the street in Mumbai and swallowed it in a desperate bid to conceal his crime last week, but hospital X-rays suggested otherwise.
Police in the western Indian city administered an enema which failed to yield the desired result. Doctors said an operation would be the best way forward, but coppers decided it would be too expensive and opted instead for the bananas.
"He was fed more than 40 bananas throughout the day," Mumbai police Senior Inspector Shankar Dhanavade told AFP.
"Eventually the chain was found. We made him wash and disinfect it," the policeman added.
The 25-year-old man appeared in court on Friday and is in police custody, said Dhanavade.
According to reports, it was not the first time Mumbai police had turned to the fruit in order to recover a stolen item. In July last year a chain was retrieved after a thief was made to eat two dozen bananas and drink several litres of milk laced with laxatives, the Hindustan Times reported.
Months earlier in April, a thief was fed five dozen bananas after swallowing a gold chain with a large pendant. The thief successfully excreted the loot. But the disgusted victim refused to touch it and instead took it to a jeweller in a plastic bag, the newspaper said.

A new U.S. Navy large surface combatant might feature futuristic weapons that, until now, have been the province of science fiction.
According to a recent interview with a top naval official, the Navy envisions that its next-generation large surface combatant--or destroyer-cruise-size--ships might be armed with host of lasers, railguns and even particle beam weapons, in addition to regular missile tubes. The new design is intended as a replacement for both the Flight III Arleigh Burke-class and the Ticonderoga-class ships.
"It's the number of cells, the number of weapons. Not just hard-kill systems but also directed-energy weapons, whatever is coming down the road. Whether that's lasers, particle beams, rail guns, whatever comes down the road 15 to 20 years from now is really what we're going to have to satisfy," Rear Adm. Peter Fanta, the Navy's director of surface warfare told Defense News in an interview. Twenty years? We'll barely have the bugs worked out by then!
"That means a power system that can handle it. It will have to be a hard kill, soft kill, directed-energy plus kinetic weapons blend. Enough power so when the power density gets there I can have directed energy for defensive purposes as well as the offensive long-range punch we'll probably get off kinetics," Fanta said. He went on to note that jamming and electromagnetic warfare would require energy sources as well.
The future warship will be a multi-mission vessel--potentially with versions of the same hull replacing both the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and the Ticonderoga-class cruisers. It will be a "family solution" rather than a "single solution." While the ship may or may not be built in one variant, the large surface combatant will have to replace the Ticonderoga-class cruisers in their carrier escort role.
"I need an air defense commander ship with a radar capable of handling threats with enough missile capacity--and what those missiles are will be developed over the next 10-15 years, it doesn't have to be the current ones--to allow me to defend the sea base, whether that's with a carrier or an expeditionary strike group or group of oilers or whatever," Fanta told Defense News. He added that the vessel will need to "defend the sea base and conduct counter-ballistic missile, anti-shoot cruise missile and provide an offensive strike for that carrier or by itself. But everything in that sentence is completely within the capability of a slightly larger DDG 51, or destroyer-cruiser-size hull."
Unlike in the past, the Navy is expected to develop the new ship as a multi-mission box that is able to be upgraded, making it easily adapted for new missions and technologies. "I'm not designing something that looks like a ship. I'm designing something that looks like a box in the water and I'm adding capability," Fanta said. "Frankly whatever the naval and architects tell me that that hull shape should look like is what I'm willing to go with."
The new vessels will be open architecture designs using evolutionary rather than revolutionary design concepts. "Open architecture to me means we own the data rights and we can hire somebody to go build a new system using those data rights," Fanta told Defense News.
"Modularity to me means not necessarily plug-and-play modules but being able to upgrade when technology allows me to upgrade at a reasonable rate. I can describe my next set of weapons, sensors, engineering components, hull designs that all allow me to go build that next ship. That's more what I'm going for than a particular hull design. I'm looking for a family of ships that can do more than one thing, because every time we build a single-mission ship it tends to get decommissioned before its life expectancy."
Fanta also recognizes that Russian and Chinese ship-to-ship missiles dangerously range the Navy's fleet. As such, the service will need to invest in a new family of missiles--including a new high-speed long-range weapon. "I want a family of surface-to-surface missiles. I want them on everything I can bolt them onto," Fanta told Defense News. "I want a missile that goes over 100 miles--I'll use round numbers so I don't get cross-threaded with the security guys--a missile that goes over 200 miles, a missile that goes over 400 miles, a missile that goes over 700 miles. That's my ultimate goal. They can be dual-purpose missiles, can attack surface targets and land targets."
Fanta notes that these are just of the Navy's initial concepts for the new ships--it'll be at least fifteen year before construction starts on the first vessel. There are also many challenges that need to be solved to accommodate the energy weapons envisioned for the new ships. Simply providing enough power to operate the weapons is the most serious challenge, as Fanta notes. To see these plans realzied, the Navy will have to figure out the optimal energy source for these power-hungry systems.
While gas turbines can provide a lot of energy--as the DDG-1000 program demonstrates--it might not be enough. The Navy might have no choice but to resort to nuclear power when the ships start being built in the 2030s. But only time will tell.

"every time we build a single-mission ship it tends to get decommissioned before its life expectancy."
To be more accurate, it's more a "primary-mission ship with secondary mission capabilities." And the reason they get decommissioned is more political than strategic.
Notice that nowhere in this is any mention of anti-submarine warfare, or the potential threat from the PLAN. ASW is tedious, stressful and time-consuming. Apparently the surface warfare community is leaving it to the bubble-heads.

And the worst part is that for _effective_ ASW work a lot of the crucial gear, like quiet engines and sonars, can't really be retrofitted onto the ship afterwards a la the Great LCS Fiasco.

Still think a laser is more sizzle than steak. I work with lasers and they are temperamental beasts. There are advantages to not needing projectiles but I think that would pale when it comes to self-lazing, dirty optics, and a million other issues that might take the system down when they most need it.
Hopefully they have something super-robust that I haven't thought of.

[Wapo] President Obama is hoping absence will speak louder than words on Tuesday.
For his last State of the Union address, he'll be leaving one seat empty in Michelle Obama's guest box "for the victims of gun violence who no longer have a voice," according to the White House.
It will be at least the second time a State of the Union seat has been left purposefully empty, reports The Post's Juliet Eilperin. One empty seat in Laura Bush's box in 2003 symbolized "the empty place many Americans will always have at their tables and in their lives because of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001."
Empty chairs are hardly original in politics, though they're not always used in such a formal situation to illustrate such a somber point.

Proco, that would be a most dangerous drinking game.
[Al Ahram] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... 's Shura Council recommended Monday an expansion of roads leading to the site of a ritual in the annual hajj pilgrimage where more than 2,000 pilgrims died in a stampede last year.
Muslim pilgrims blamed the stampede on police road closures and poor management of the flow of hundreds of thousands of people, who found escape routes blocked when the crush occurred.
The tragedy happened as they made their way in searing temperatures to the Jamarat, the place where pilgrims ritually stone the devil in the Mina tent city in western Saudi Arabia.
Saudi officials blamed pilgrims themselves for not following rules.
The Shura Council, which advises the cabinet, said the hajj ministry and other agencies should study the flow of transportation between Mina and other holy sites including nearby Mecca, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.
It should also look at "raising the capacity of roads leading to the Jamarat facility, and to the accommodation areas in Mina," SPA said, without elaborating.
The study should further consider "increasing the area allotted for each pilgrim from the current size and promoting the efficiency of services, and means of security and safety," SPA added.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the interior minister who also chairs the hajj committee, ordered a probe immediately after the September 24 disaster but there has still been no word on its findings.
According to data from foreign officials, at least 2,297 pilgrims died in the stampede, which was the worst ever disaster to strike the annual ritual.
Saudi Arabia issued a corpse count of 769 two days after the incident but has given no further tally or details of the casualties.

[ABCNEWS.GO] Venezuela's Supreme Court on Monday ordered the country's new opposition congress to unseat three barred politicians and declared that any action the legislature takes in the meantime is null.
The judges were appointed by the late Ooogo Chavez, one assumes.
Opponents of the socialist revolution launched by Hugo Chavez took control of congress for the first time in 17 years last week. The high court barred three opposition politicians from taking their seats to give officials time to look into allegations of electoral fraud.
The decision angered members of the opposition, who called it an attempt to undermine their historic victory in legislative elections in December, and they swore the politicians in anyway. They said rigged courts should not be allowed to undo the will of the voters.
On Monday, the Supreme Court, which the opposition considers an arm of President Nicolas Maduro's government, upped the ante in the confrontation by ordering congress to unseat the three deputies from the remote state of Amazonas. Its actions are null in the meantime.
The decision, which applies to "all acts that have been taken or will be taken" by the new congress, seems to render the body powerless for now.
The politicians have not yet passed any legislation, so there isn't much to nullify.
But earlier on Monday, congress began the process of debating a law that would give amnesty to jugged You have the right to remain silent... opposition leaders who human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. groups consider to be political prisoners.
Lawmakers also formed a congressional committee to look into irregularities in the rush appointment of 13 Supreme Court judges just after the socialist party lost Dec. 6 legislative elections.

Four individuals were wounded in a brawl between members of the Ukrainian nationalist group Right Sektor and guards at a ski resort near Dragobrat on Sunday.
According to data supplied by the Russian language Ukrainian news outlet korrespondent.net, five private militiamen fought with guards at the site over a restaurant bill, wounding two guards and two militiamen. All five militia were detained for pretrial investigation by Ukrainian police.
One source says that knives were used, but others hint firearms were used, although no reports indicate that firearms were seized in the aftermath. The report also said that the five militiamen were from the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine, and were tied to the Right Sektor (Prava Sektor) political/military movement in Ukraine.
According to a Right Sektor commander, identified as Andrei Stempitsky, two of those involved in the incident were veterans of the fighting at the Donetsk airport earlier last year.
Two of them were identified, one with the call sign "Croatia," said to be a chief of the operational staff and the other as a fighter identified with the call sign "Demon," said to be commander of the 13th Right Sektor Reserve Battalion. In a separate report two other members of the group were identified with the call sign "Pedro" and "Trident".
Stempitsky said that two of the group involved were wounded by gunfire, but he failed to identify who had been wounded.
An unidentified source in the Transcarpathian region affiliated with Right Sektor denied that Right Sektor members were involved in the incident.
According to yet another report, the Right Sektor group, dressed in military camouflage uniforms, demanded to be put up at the resort but refused to pay. When security elements confronted the men, the fight started. One of the security elements was wounded with a knife. A militiamen and a guard drew down on one other before the militiamen were detained.
Although no one was wounded by gunfire, local reports continue to call the incident a shootout, so presumably gunfire was exchanged.
The incident is being likened to the shootout last August in Mukachevo, where four men were killed and several wounded following a "sit down" between local members of the Right Sektor and members of a local criminal group over smuggling routes through the area. The meeting turned out to be an ambush, according to subsequent reports.
Right Sektor recruitment is grounded in Ukrainian nationalism, but a number of groups, particularly in the Transcarpathia region are loosely affiliated with organized crime in the movement of excise goods through the area into Ukraine and Russia.
Although Russian-backed Donetsk authorities vehemently deny it, some of those running the government appear to have ties with these same groups.

Last week, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met for six hours with Polish political patriarch Jaroslaw Kaczynski at Niedzica Castle in southern Poland. With virtually no details available on the meeting, journalists were quick to speculate, some suggesting that the two political outsiders were hatching a conspiracy.
...Speaking to Der Spiegel, Merkel 'right hand' CDU politician Volker Kauder suggested that Brussels must "find the courage to apply sanctions" against a defiant Poland if "European values are violated."
"It is this type of thing," Stremidlovsky writes, "that Orban unequivocally steps out against. The Hungarian prime minister has publically said that Budapest will never allow the EU to punish Poland. And this is not just a gesture, but a manifestation of the political course taken by Budapest."
Last year, Poland's conservative nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS), led by former Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, captured both the presidency and parliament at elections in May and November. Since taking office, the party's lawmakers have used their parliamentary majority to initiate a series of controversial legal reforms, causing concerns both at home and abroad, specifically in Brussels and in Berlin.
Because the government needs more of our money to mismanage.
Hillary Clinton called Monday for a 4 percent "fair share surcharge" on Americans making more than $5 million annually, the first of several proposals she plans to unveil this week aimed at ensuring the wealthy pay a higher effective tax rate than the middle class. So that later she can jack down taxes on the lower class, further divorcing them from economic realities when they vote.
"Right now we're behind and we have to get the wealthy and the corporations to pay their fair share," the Democratic presidential front-runner said at a campaign rally in Waterloo, Iowa. Corporations should neither pay taxes nor get involved in politics.
The measure would raise $150 billion in revenues over a decade, which would pay for some of her proposals aimed at creating jobs and rebuilding infrastructure, said a campaign official who asked not to be named. Clinton will introduce additional tax ideas aimed at the wealthy later this week, the official said. I thought the gas tax was for rebuilding infrastructure during lean years.
Clinton previewed her proposals earlier this month, vowing she would "go beyond" billionaire Warren Buffett's plan to set the minimum effective tax rate for those earning $1 million per year at 30 percent. Lunacy stacked on top of more lunacy. Great.
"As president, I'll do what it takes to make sure the super-wealthy are truly paying their fair share," Clinton said Jan. 2. The proposal from Buffett, who has endorsed her, is "one idea that would help achieve greater fairness in our tax system." Flat tax. Done. So is the IRS.
When he gives his final State of the Union speech Tuesday, President Obama will be addressing members of Congress. But they won't be his target audience. They never really were. Except for the useful tools among them.
In fact, he probably wouldn't care if they didn't show up at all. Fewer people to cough and applaud and get in the way of him hearing himself speak.
Experts predict that rather than trying to cajole a Republican-controlled Congress to cooperate with him in 2016, the president will be asking viewers around the country to remember his legacy items and consider the future in an attempt to set the tone for the next (he hopes, Democratic) president. Ah. Educating those who fawn over him on what the narrative for framing his "accomplishments" should be. Good for denial.
"It's not going to be a laundry list of things on the agenda" like most State of the Union addresses, said Norm Ornstein, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. I wonder why.
That's how the president himself framed it in a video message sent to supporters Wednesday. Funny how the smartest guy in the room always figures out a better way of doing things than even the founding fathers could have thought of.
"What I want to focus on in this State of the Union address [is] not just the remarkable progress we've made, not just what I want to get done in the year ahead, but what we all need to do together in the years to come," he said. You've had eight years to fix things. They're not. We stolen from our future prosperity just to keep us going today, and we've just started another recession. That is not an accomplishment. And unless you talk about paying down the debt and securing this country to be the leader of the free world again, your words will only be appreciated by those who have no hope of understanding how badly you have hurt the nation.
But why not take advantage of a captive Congressional audience to make a final, grand gesture on big-ticket items like gun control and immigration reform? Since it's working so well so far.
For one, Obama began the year demonstrating that he's basically given up on Congress' ability to deliver on such issues. When he announced a slate of new executive actions on gun safety and mental health, he suggested they were simply initial steps toward meaningful reform. I prefer to think of these executive actions as the first order of business for the next president to unsign.
"It won't happen during this Congress. It won't happen during my presidency," Obama said of comprehensive gun control legislation in a speech Tuesday. "But a lot of things don't happen overnight. A woman's right to vote didn't happen overnight. The liberation of African Americans didn't happen overnight." So if gun control ever makes its way through Congress, we can all thank you. Got it.
That's all the more reason why Obama's State of the Union is more of a breakup note with Congress than anything else: showing members that he's already over them and is looking toward the impact his solo work will have on the country's future. Solo is the key word here. Does this mean he will continue his "leading from his behind" policy?
"There's no point in wasting time trying to convince this Congress to embrace really any aspects of his agenda," said congressional scholar Thomas Mann. Everyone's crazy except for the enlightened one.
The president is also likely to take advantage of his captive national prime-time audience to highlight what he considers his biggest accomplishments of the past seven years. That should be the shortest part of his speech. If you remove whatever he drops in here that he defines to be an "accomplishment" that really isn't. Like trying to kill coal-fired power plants before their time.
"I would think there's a very good chance he'll talk about what shape the economy was in when he got elected and inaugurated and what's happened since and where we have to go," Ornstein said. One last "Bush's fault".
He might even talk about what else he could have achieved if Republicans in Congress did not have a knee-jerk reaction against his agenda -- a point which he could link to the presidential race. What "knee jerk"? You mean the reaction that's been going on since you were first elected through lies and voter fraud?
"He'll pretty much ignore Congress in terms of appealing for support, but use the Republican majorities as a way to link them with the Republican candidates for the White House and talk about just how extremely conservative the party has become," Mann said. If the Trunks moved to the right, it's what was required to keep you in check. You're simply looking in the mirror, 0bean.
That's not to say the president is giving up entirely on passing bills in 2016: there could certainly be movement on less sweeping issues like criminal justice reform, mental health legislation and the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. Given your penchant to keep criminals out of jail, to misread the health system, and to enter into harmful agreements, I think not.
But ironically, even as the White House faces a year of small-ball legislation ahead, officials are framing it as a conscious decision to focus on the bigger picture, well after Obama leaves office, as White House Chief of Staff Dennis McDonough did in an email to supporters accompanying the president's video message. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at the meeting that decided how to frame the SOTU speech. Was his lack of accomplishments and leadership addressed directly at any point, or was it the elephant in the room they had to talk around?
"What we have left to do is bigger than any one policy initiative or new bill in Congress. This is about who we are, where we're headed, and what kind of country we want to be," he said. I'd be happy to just be a country again.

Maybe the rethuglicans have a majority because the country has become more conservative, since seeing Obama and Hillary up close and personal for so long. Theoretically, all those Republicans were elected by voters. Live voters. Citizen voters.

(IraqiNews.com) Erbil – Erbil Police Directorate announced on Monday, that a policeman was killed on the result of a quarrel between two brothers, while pointed out to the arrest of the offender.
Erbil Police Directorate said in a statement obtained by IraqiNews.com, “A policeman was killed, today, during a quarrel between two brothers in the area of Qushitah in the province of Erbil,” indicating that, “The policeman was killed by a gunshot when he attended with a detachment of the police in the site of the quarrel.”
The statement added, “The person who opened the fire on the policeman has been arrested and the police opened an investigation to determine the causes of the incident.”
The New Republic, the century-old magazine that was rocked a year ago by the mass exodus of its staff following an effort by its owner to make it more digitally focused [and following its transition from a moderate to liberal analysis publication to just another leftist rag],
is being put up for sale.
Chris Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook [leftist, gay advocate and anti Israel]
who purchased a majority stake in the struggling title in 2012, said in a staff memo Monday that he had underestimated "the difficulty of transitioning an old and traditional institution into a digital media company in today's quickly evolving climate," and would seek to find a new owner.
"After investing a great deal of time, energy, and over $20 million, I have come to the conclusion that it is time for new leadership and vision at The New Republic," the memo read. "Although I do not have the silver bullet, a new owner should have the vision and commitment to carry on the traditions that make this place unique and give it a new mandate for a new century." General Hux "...All remaining systems will bow to the First Order and remember this as the last day of the Republic"
