[Daily Caller] While working as Hillary Clinton's chief of staff at the State Department, Cheryl Mills lost her personal Blackberry, on which she sent emails that the State Department has determined contain classified information. One of the reasons classified documents and systems are kept in a SCIF, but I suppose we're a bit beyond that point in the discussion.
Records obtained by The Daily Caller through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show Mills revealed that she lost her Blackberry in a March 20, 2010 email she sent to Bryan Pagliano, the State Department IT staffer who managed Clinton's private email server.
"Somewhere b/w my house and the plane to nyc yesterday my personal bb got misplaced; no on [sic] is answering it thought [sic] I have called," Mills wrote from her personal email account to the address Pagliano used when he worked on Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.
Other State Department records indicate that Mills' personal Blackberry appears to have been synced with her Gmail account. Many of the emails she sent from the personal account include footers which show they were sent from a Blackberry powered by AT&T.

Unlocking the secrets of the Enigma Machine required complex mathematic algorithms. Mill's Blackberry would have required no such effort. I doubt she even changed her e-mail address.

I would have suggested that Ms. Mills used the most popular password in the world -- '12345678' -- but bless her heart, I'm not sure she can count that high...

She can use '123456'. I think she has that many toes.
[ALTERNATIVEMEDIASYNDICATE] A Newark, New Jersey deli owner who shot and killed an armed man will not face charges, police and prosecutors say.
Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray as well as Newark Police Director Eugene Venable say that the owner of the deli had a permit for the gun that he used to defend himself.
New Jersey is notorious for having some of the strictest gun regulations in the nation. The robber apparently thought that meant there was no legal way for his would-be victims to arm themselves.
According to Guns.buzz, Mark Robinson's last words inside the New Neighborhood Deli Supermarket were "I thought you couldn't own a gun in New Jersey."
Robinson, 46, had walked into the deli around 8:30 p.m. and immediately pointed a gun at the owner, who didn't hesitate to pull his own weapon and fire. Robinson was pronounced dead at around 10 pm.

Shot at 8:31pm, died at 10pm. So he had an hour and a half to think about things. That sounds about right.

The software onboard the Pentagon's multi-billion dollar F-35 Joint Strike Fighter might make the next-generation aircraft so vulnerable to cyberattacks that its pilots end up wishing they were flying something a bit less sophisticated.
The F-35's logistics system "continues to struggle in development with ... a complex architecture with likely (but largely untested) cyber deficiencies," according to a memo written last month by the Pentagon's top weapons tester that was obtained by IHS Jane's 360.
The official also raised concerns about possible delays in the aircraft's combat software development. When completed, the fighter is supposed to run on more than eight million lines of code, according to Lockheed Martin, the plane's manufacturer.
The development is a sign that despite recent positive steps by the F-35 program -- including the news that it would make its debut at two major United Kingdom air shows this summer after a two-year delay -- the world's most expensive weapon is not turbulence-free just yet.
The news of software problems is likely to put even the fighter's most ardent supporters on edge. In 2009, Chinese hackers are suspected of stealing the F-35's blueprints. U.S. officials claim no classified information was taken in the breach, but concerns have lingered that the jet's software was laid bare.
A spokesman for the Pentagon's F-35 joint program office told Jane's that the agency had conducted over 2,000 cyber tests on the aircraft, including 300 last year, but admitted there is a potential for the software schedule to fall behind, for up to four months.
Defense officials still plan to get the plane with the most advanced software ready by summer 2017, but as of this month development flight testing has completed only half of its test, the F-35 office told Jane's.

I dunno about this code shit, i bet will bet most of it is in machine language. Well the Corsair nor the Phantom used this stuff, it's okay for teevees and citizens radios, but a serious aircraft is hydraulic and analog, always been that way, also needs a gun for dawg fights and should not cost more than an average SUV, be built in America by line workers making $32 per hour and be bug free off the line. APU should be a 426 Hemi. Wake up sheeaples and smell the cocoa!

[Dhaka Tribune] Some people train ahead of a race for months, but this fit as a butcher's dog just decided to turn up on the day.
A canine from Alabama has become an internet star after running a 13.1 mile half-marathon and finishing an impressive seventh place with a time of 1:32.56.
Ludivine, a two-and-a-half year-old pet hound dog, snuck out of her owner's garden and joined runners at the start of the Trackless Train Trek Half Marathon.
Her owner April Hamlin admitted she was “embarrassed” that her dog may have got in the way of those participating in the race and told Runner’s World her pet regularly wanders off without her in the town of Elkmont.
“I saw her for the first time in the parking lot before the race,” said one Alabama resident. “She came bouncing up and I petted her on the head. I saw her collar, so I just figured she was somebody’s dog. Elkmont is a small town where everyone knows everybody, so it didn’t strike me as unusual.”
Another explained: “Every time I thought she had dropped off to go back home, I would hear her coming back up to me, and she would race past me up to the two leaders. She would run off to romp through streams and into yards to sniff around for a while.”
Volunteers who helped organised the race sent her owner pictures of the dog at the finish line after an impressive seventh place finish.
Ms Hamlin explained: “It’s the first half marathon in Elkmont, and the people who started it are parents of the kids who run cross country.
“They wanted to try and fundraise because our school system doesn’t have a ton of money for cross country. Because of this dog, they are getting so much publicity, and I think that’s the best part.”

I won't argue the point Barb. :)
I also thinks it really happened that way, Felix affricaus domestica has high speed, excellent night vision and hearing, plus those whiskers the Martians added. But they are low on endurance, they are not difficult to run down if you are persistent :). But they were to valuable as mice and rat killers to leave behind, so they traveled in back bags, in arm and on their own feet, but mostly carried.
[Reuters] The leader of an armed occupation at a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon and others were arrested on Tuesday after shots were fired during a traffic stop, leaving one person dead and another wounded, the FBI said.
Protesters were still occupying the remote Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon after leader Ammon Bundy's arrest and the Federal Bureau of Investigation was setting up a perimeter with the hopes of a peaceful resolution, a law enforcement official told Reuters.
A total of eight people were arrested in two states.
The takeover at Malheur that started Jan. 2 is the latest flare-up in the so-called Sagebrush Rebellion, a decades-old conflict over the U.S. government's control of millions acres of land in the West.
Several media outlets, including the Oregonian and CNN, reported that law enforcement sources said LaVoy Finicum was killed. Finicum, a rancher who acted as a spokesman for the occupiers, told NBC News earlier this month that he would rather die than be arrested.
"There are things more important than your life, and freedom is one of them," he said in the NBC interview.
Bundy and four leaders of the occupation were taken into custody following the confrontation along Highway 395 in northeast Oregon around 4:25 p.m. local time (0025 GMT), according to the FBI.
A sixth individual was arrested by the Oregon State Police in Burns, Oregon, about 1.5 hours later. The FBI said a seventh person was later arrested, 50-year-old Peter Santilli, an independent journalist who livestreamed events at the refuge.
The FBI said they also arrested an eighth person in Peoria, Arizona, in relation to the occupation.
All of those arrested face federal charges of conspiracy to use force, intimidation or threats to impede federal officers from discharging their duties, the FBI said.
The Oregonian reported that Bundy had been en route to a community meeting in John Day, Oregon, with several other members of the occupation, where he was scheduled to be a guest speaker, when authorities stopped his vehicle.
The newspaper said 43-year-old Ryan Bundy, Ammon's brother, was injured in the arrest, suffering a minor gunshot wound. Authorities did not release the identity of the person killed, but added that he was the subject of a federal probable cause arrest.
Some 25 miles (40 km) of Highway 395 was shut down in both directions following the incident, a dispatcher for the state department of transportation said. The highway was expected to remain closed as authorities investigate the shooting.
The occupiers of the wildlife refuge said they were supporting two local ranchers who were returned to prison this month for setting fires that spread to federal land. The ranchers' lawyer has said the occupiers do not speak for the family.
Burns Mayor Craig LaFollette told Reuters that while he had limited information about the night's events, he hoped the stand-off would come to a peaceful end.
"I think my perception is that people's patience was running thin and that the community as a whole was looking for some resolution and to have these people leave," he said.
Law enforcement officials had largely kept their distance from the buildings at the refuge, 30 miles (48 km) south of the small town of Burns in rural southeast Oregon's Harney County, in the hope of avoiding a violent confrontation.
Local residents have expressed a mixture of sympathy for the Hammond family, suspicion of the federal government's motives and frustration with the occupation.

This tells me all I need to know. Most likely the Feds fired first. "It's unclear what happened in the moments before his death. Authorities said shots were fired but have declined to say how many, or if Finicum or any of the other activists exchanged gunfire with officers."

I'm still trying to figure out what conspiracy to impede federal officers means.
One individual was shot to death and one was wounded in a felony arrest traffic stop in Harney County in Oregon Tuesday evening, according to various official and unofficial reports.
The dead has been identified as LaVoy Finicum, 55, of Cane Beds, Arizona, according to a Bundy Ranch Facebook posting, said to have been shot three times. According to data said to have been attributed to Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, Finicum was shot in cold blood. Other unconfirmed reports say it was an unidentified state police agent who shot Finicum.
Among the arrested identified by the FBI were: Ammon Edward Bundy, age 40, of Emmett, Idaho, Ryan C. Bundy, age 43, of Bunkerville, Nevada, Brian Cavalier, age 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada, Shawna Cox, age 59, Kanab, Utah and Ryan Waylen Payne, age 32, of Anaconda, Montana.
Oregon state police said they arrested another individual identified as Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, age 45, Cottonwood, Arizona. A blog report said that an internet radio talk personality identified as Pete Santelli, Cincinnati, Ohio, was detained at one of the checkpoints set up directly after the traffic stop.
Another man in Arizona was arrested in conjunction with the incident on Oregon, who was identified as Jon Eric Ritzheimer, 32, and who will likely be charged with conspiracy as well.
The traffic stop, which an FBI news release said was a probable cause felony arrest stop, took place between Burns and John Day on US Highway 395.
An informal report said that Ryan Bundy had been shot, but was to expected to survive his wounds.
The FBI news release said the detainees will be changed with conspiracy to impede federal officials.
According to reports, those remaining at the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge have been told they may leave without being stopped. One of the leaders of the takeover, Blaine Cooper, is said to be at the wildlife refuge.

No way in hell CrazyFool. Last thing they want to have people see it.
I also expect another incident in a couple days at the refuge. I bet the feds will say they took fire from it and stormed it. Same fake excuse that the Germans used against Poland.
[Iran Press TV] The US government’s spending and borrowing policies have dramatically weakened the country’s economy and significantly lowered the standard of living, which may lead to a “dead economy” and political chaos, an American economist says.
“The very things that the government is doing are weakening the US economy,” said William L. Anderson, a professor of economics at Frostburg State University in Maryland. Unlike the usual run of "analysts" Iran Press runs, Professor Anderson doesn't appear to be a nut or a subversive.
“The government is pushing the economy further into a downward [spiral] and at the same time borrowing more and more to keep things going,” Anderson told Press TV on Tuesday.
“You’ll see the Americans’ standard of living drop rapidly and at that point things become politically much more chaotic here,” he added. Is this a prediction or an observation ?
The US government will owe $30 trillion in national debt within a decade if the country’s budget deficit continues to grow at the same rate and current tax laws remain in place, according to a new federal report.
The federal deficit will increase in 2016 for the first time since the end of the financial crisis in 2009, and the accompanying public debt could reach crisis-levels in the decades to come, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said Monday.
Government budget deficits will continue to rise over the next 10 years, topping $1 trillion again in 2022 and reaching $1.4 trillion in 2026, CBO analysts said.
The accumulation of those deficits will deepen the gross public debt from $18.1 trillion at the end of 2015 to $29.3 trillion in 2026. What comes after a trillion ?
“When you deal with those kinds of numbers, it would be official the US economy would be dead because there’s no way the US economy can support those kinds of debt levels,” Anderson said.
By contrast, the debt stood at $10.6 trillion when President Barack Obama took office in 2009. Looking decades into the future, the picture only gets worse, the CBO said.
"If current laws generally remained unchanged, the deficit would grow over the next 10 years, and by 2026 it would be considerably larger than its average over the past 50 years," the report said.

Raising interest rates should help accelerate the debt with an extra dose of low growth GDP and cronic under employment: FORWARD to the Detroitification of America
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: The federal government has asked the internet providing companies to block more than 400,000 pornography websites, officials said on Tuesday, as part of a crackdown on what the apex court calls "offensive content".
The move follows a Supreme Court order this month to ban online material considered blasphemous or objectionable.
Major pornography website are already barred in the country, though hundreds of thousands have fallen through the cracks of internet censors.
"ISPs (Internet Service Providers) have been directed to block more than 400,000 websites having pornographic content," a senior government official told AFP.
Industry officials confirmed the move and said they have already started blocking such sites but it could take some time to complete.
Other websites, including Facebook and YouTube, have previously been banned as part of a government-led censorship campaign, and authorities continue to restrict thousands of online links.
Last week, government lifted the years-long YouTube ban, in place since 2012 after the video sharing site had uploaded blasphemous content.
