[USAToday] Two teens have been arrested in connection to the assault and robbery of a veteran Marine sergeant, D.C. police said.
Police said one 17-year-old male and one 17-year-old female were involved in the attack. The male was charged with aggravated assault and the female was charged with robbery.
Christopher Marquez, a Bronze Star recipient, who served in the Marine Corps from 2003 to 2011, told police he was assaulted while eating at a McDonald's.
Marquez said he believes the February 12th attack was racially motivated.
"The kids were asking me if I think that black lives mattered," Marquez told the Marine Corps Times. "I was ignoring them, just because I felt intimidated. I felt how they approached me, it was very hostile. I felt they were really trying to intimidate me and just trying to start a confrontation with me."
One of the suspects allegedly hit Marquez with a gun after calling him a racist, according to a police report.
The suspects took Marquez' wallet, identification, credit cards, debit card and about $400 in cash, the report says.
Police say a third suspect was involved in the assault.
[TBO] One of two men attempting to rob a Tampa liquor store was shot to death in an exchange of gunfire with the clerk late Sunday, police said.
Cody Bolesta, 20, was found fatally shot on the sidewalk near Cut Rate Liquors, at 3312 N. 15th St., in the V.M. Ybor neighborhood, police said.
Detectives are working to track down the other suspect, who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
The store employee, 57-year-old Willie Morris, was not injured.
Bolesta and the other intruder entered the store at 10:49 p.m. wearing ski masks and hoodie, and they pointed guns at the clerk while demanding money, police said.
Morris pulled out a gun, and at least one of the intruders fired at him, police said. Morris also fired, striking Bolesta.
At this time, the fatality appears to be a case of self-defense, but the case will be presented to the State Attorney's Office for a final determination, police said.

...but DC has some of the most unconstitutional restrictive gun control laws. How can this happen?
HAVANA (Reuters) - Ramon Castro, the older brother of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro and current President Raul Castro, died on Tuesday at age 91, Cuban official media reported.
Castro, who kept a low profile in recent years, died in Havana and his cremated remains were to be taken to Biran, the rural town in eastern Cuba where the Castro brothers were born, the official website Cubadebate said.
Although aiding the guerrilla movement led by his brothers that seized power in 1959, Castro did not take up arms. He later served as an agricultural adviser, never wielding the same authority as Fidel, 89, and Raul, 84. No date provided on memorial service. Upcoming 20-21 March visit to Cuba by the Champ undoubtedly a coincidence.
Blah blah blah
Among various categories, Ford Motor's F-150 was named best pickup truck with a score of 76/77. It's also the top selling vehicle of any type in the U.S. for more than 30 years running.
"Is aluminum body construction macho enough for a big truck? You bet. By eschewing traditional steel body panels, Ford created a pickup that weighs less, enabling it to be quick off the line and fuel-efficient," Consumer Reports said in the report. Blah blah blah

By the spring of 1862, a year into the American Civil War, Major General Ulysses S. Grant had pushed deep into Confederate territory along the Tennessee River. In early April, he was camped at Pittsburg Landing, near Shiloh, Tennessee, waiting for Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell's army to meet up with him.
On the morning of April 6, Confederate troops based out of nearby Corinth, Mississippi, launched a surprise offensive against Grant's troops, hoping to defeat them before the second army arrived. Grant's men, augmented by the first arrivals from the Ohio, managed to hold some ground, though, and establish a battle line anchored with artillery. Fighting continued until after dark, and by the next morning, the full force of the Ohio had arrived and the Union outnumbered the Confederates by more than 10,000.
The Union troops began forcing the Confederates back, and while a counterattack stopped their advance it did not break their line. Eventually, the Southern commanders realized they could not win and fell back to Corinth until another offensive in August (for a more detailed explanation of the battle, see this animated history).
All told, the fighting at the Battle of Shiloh left more than 16,000 soldiers wounded and more 3,000 dead, and neither federal or Confederate medics were prepared for the carnage.
The bullet and bayonet wounds were bad enough on their own, but soldiers of the era were also prone to infections. Wounds contaminated by shrapnel or dirt became warm, moist refuges for bacteria, which could feast on a buffet of damaged tissue. After months marching and eating field rations on the battlefront, many soldiers' immune systems were weakened and couldn't fight off infection on their own. Even the army doctors couldn't do much; microorganisms weren't well understood and the germ theory of disease and antibiotics were still a few years away. Many soldiers died from infections that modern medicine would be able to nip in the bud.
A Bright Spot
Some of the Shiloh soldiers sat in the mud for two rainy days and nights waiting for the medics to get around to them. As dusk fell the first night, some of them noticed something very strange: their wounds were glowing, casting a faint light into the darkness of the battlefield. Even stranger, when the troops were eventually moved to field hospitals, those whose wounds glowed had a better survival rate and had their wounds heal more quickly and cleanly than their unilluminated brothers-in-arms. The seemingly protective effect of the mysterious light earned it the nickname "Angel's Glow."
In 2001, almost one hundred and forty years after the battle, seventeen-year-old Bill Martin was visiting the Shiloh battlefield with his family. When he heard about the glowing wounds, he asked his mom - a microbiologist at the USDA Agricultural Research Service who had studied luminescent bacteria that lived in soil - about it.
"So you know, he comes home and, 'Mom, you're working with a glowing bacteria. Could that have caused the glowing wounds?'" Martin told Science Netlinks. "And so, being a scientist, of course I said, 'Well, you can do an experiment to find out.'"
And that's just what Bill did.
He and his friend, Jon Curtis, did some research on both the bacteria and the conditions during the Battle of Shiloh. They learned that Photorhabdus luminescens, the bacteria that Bill's mom studied and the one he thought might have something to do with the glowing wounds, live in the guts of parasitic worms called nematodes, and the two share a strange lifecycle. Nematodes hunt down insect larvae in the soil or on plant surfaces, burrow into their bodies, and take up residence in their blood vessels. There, they puke up the P. luminescens bacteria living inside them. Upon their release, the bacteria, which are bioluminescent and glow a soft blue, begin producing a number of chemicals that kill the insect host and suppress and kill all the other microorganisms already inside it. This leaves P. luminescens and their nematode partner to feed, grow and multiply without interruptions.
As the worms and the bacteria eat and eat and the insect corpse is more or less hollowed out, the nematode eats the bacteria. This isn't a double cross, but part of the move to greener pastures. The bacteria re-colonize the nematode's guts so they can hitch a ride as it bursts forth from the corpse in search of a new host.
The next meal shouldn't be hard to find either, since P. luminescens already sent them an invitation to the party. Just before they got got back in their nematode taxi, P. luminescens were at critical mass in the insect corpse, and scientists think that that many glowing bacteria attract other insects to the body and make the nematode's transition to a new host much easier.
A Good Light
Looking at historical records of the battle, Bill and Jon figured out that the weather and soil conditions were right for both P. luminescens and their nematode partners. Their lab experiments with the bacteria, however, showed that they couldn't live at human body temperature, making the soldiers' wounds an inhospitable environment. Then they realized what some country music fans already knew: Tennessee in the spring is green and cool. Nighttime temperatures in early April would have been low enough for the soldiers who were out there in the rain for two days to get hypothermia, lowering their body temperature and giving P. luminescens a good home.
Based on the evidence for P. luminescens's presence at Shiloh and the reports of the strange glow, the boys concluded that the bacteria, along with the nematodes, got into the soldiers' wounds from the soil. This not only turned their wounds into night lights, but may have saved their lives. The chemical cocktail that P. luminescens uses to clear out its competition probably helped kill off other pathogens that might have infected the soldiers' wounds. Since neither P. luminescens nor its associated nematode species are very infectious to humans, they would have soon been cleaned out by the immune system themselves (which is not to say you should be self-medicating with bacteria; P. luminescens infections can occur, and can result in some nasty ulcers). The soldiers shouldn't have been thanking the angels so much as the microorganisms.

Part of the survival training posed the use of maggots to clean out wounds. They eat dead flesh and if left unsealed by bandages or other obstruction, will drop off after consuming their meal. Field expedients don't usually fit in with 'modern' or 'the science is settled' perspectives.

[GLOBALPOST] Uganda's main opposition leader was held by police on Monday at a cop shoppe outside the capital after being taken from his home where he had been under house arrest.
Kizza Besigye has rejected the results of Thursday's election won by veteran President-for-Life Yoweri Museveni, and called on his supporters to join a protest march to the Electoral Commission headquarters in Kampala on Monday.
A police front man said Besigye was being held at the Nagalama cop shoppe around 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of the capital under "preventative arrest".
"We are preventing him from going to cause violence around the Electoral Commission offices," said Patrick Onyango, the Kampala police front man.

[Dhaka Tribune] A Dhaka court yesterday asked BNP Chairperson the loathesome Khaleda Zia Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ... to appear before the court on April 13 in connection with Gatco graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Judge Abu Ahmed Jamadar of Dhaka Special Judge's Court 3 passed the order after receiving copy of the High Court's February 15 verdict that rejected two petitions filed by Khaleda challenging the legality of proceedings in the case.
The court is also dealing Zia Orphanage Trust and Zia Charitable Trust cases filed against Khaleda and eight others.
On September 2, 2007, the ACC filed the Gatco case with Tejgaon cop shoppe against Khaleda, her youngest son late Arafat Rahman Koko, Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami ...During the liberation war of 1971, Nizami formed the Al-Badr Force and acted as its supreme commander. The Al-Badr militia took active part in rape, extortion, looting and killing of Bangladeshis who supported the liberation, including a pre-planned massacre on December 14, 1971, when the Al-Badr militia along with Pakistan Army rounded up hundreds of doctors, professors, writers, and other Bengali intellectuals, and executed them... and 10 others. The case was filed under the Emergency Powers Rules.
According to the case statement, there was corruption in the awarding of a contract to Global Agro Trade (Pvt) Company Ltd (Gatco) for container management at inland depots in Dhaka and Chittagong.
The corruption allegedly cost the state exchequer over Tk1,000 crore.

[Wash Times] In the latest case of Chinese contempt for the U.S., Beijing reportedly deployed fighter jets on a disputed island in the South China Sea on the eve of a Tuesday meeting with America's top diplomat.
Citing "two U.S. officials" who spoke on condition of anonymity, Fox News reported that U.S. intelligence had spotted Chinese J-11 and JH-7s fighter jets on Woody Island.
China had deployed surface-to-air missiles on the same island last week, but placing modern attack aircraft is a significant upgrade and, according to Fox a "dramatic escalation" in the dispute over islands also claimed by Vietnam and the Philippines.
The Fox News report came Tuesday as Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was in Washington for meetings with top U.S. officials. His scheduled visit to the Pentagon was canceled but a meeting with Secretary of State John F. Kerry was still a go for Tuesday afternoon.
Besides building military facilities on the tiny Spratly Islands, China also is building artificial "islands" to host advanced radar installations.
China appears to be building a new high-frequency radar on an artificial feature in the Spratly Islands that could allow Beijing to track even the stealthiest American warplanes, including the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and even the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit. The Center for Strategic and International Studies has acquired satellite evidence of the construction.
"Placement of a high frequency radar on Cuarteron Reef would significantly bolster China's ability to monitor surface and air traffic coming north from the Malacca Straits and other strategically important channels," reads a report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Improved radar coverage is an important piece of the puzzle--along with improved air defenses and greater reach for Chinese aircraft--toward China's goals of establishing effective control over the sea and airspace throughout the nine-dash line."
Moreover, the Washington-based think tank has a specific reason to believe that the new radar is a high-frequency set. "Two probable radar towers have been built on the northern portion of the feature, and a number of 65-foot (20-meter) poles have been erected across a large section of the southern portion," reads the report. "These poles could be a high-frequency radar installation, which would significantly bolster China's ability to monitor surface and air traffic across the southern portion of the South China Sea."
While the system is called a high-frequency (HF) radar--that's bit of a misnomer. HF radars actually operate on low frequencies relative to the VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X and Ku bands, which are more typically used by military radars. These low frequencies have waves that are several meters long and, consequently, most stealth aircraft show up on HF radar. In order to defeat low frequency radar, a stealth aircraft has to eliminate features like fins, which is why the flying-wing shape is the best way available to avoid detection. That is because there is an omnidirectional resonance effect that occurs when a feature on an aircraft--such as a tail-fin--is less than eight times the size of a particular frequency wavelength. As a result, there is a step change in radar cross section once that threshold is exceeded. Since every stealth aircraft currently in America's fleet exceeds that threshold--even the B-2 is not large enough to avoid most HF radars--every U.S. aircraft would show up on the Chinese radar. Indeed--all stealth aircraft will show up at some frequency. That's just physics.
But it's not all bad news. While HF radar can detect and even track stealth aircraft to a degree, it is not anywhere near precise enough to guide a weapon. The problem with HF-band radars is that they have a very long pulse width and a very low pulse repetition frequency [PRF]. That means HF are very poor at accurately determining range, altitude and precise direction. Indeed the radar resolution cells could be several miles wide. The best an HF radar can do is cue other sensors to search a volume of airspace or direct fighters toward a roughly defined search area.
In the case of a war, the Pentagon would have to eliminate those radars before launching a strike--similar to how Army AH-64A Apache gunships eliminated Iraq's low-frequency search radars during Operation Desert Storm.

[Daily Caller] A Canadian judge has struck down a recently deceased doctor's plan to create a scholarship for heterosexual white men on the grounds it is "contrary to public policy."
Radiologist Victor Priebe died on New Year's Day 2015, and included a provision in his will to establish a scholarship with an unusual stipulation. The provision requests the Royal Trust Corporation of Canada, his trustee, to establish a scholarship fund targeted at single, straight, white men who intend to study science. The scholarship also requests the recipient not play collegiate sports and that they not show an aversion to manual labor.
Priebe's will also sought to create a similar scholarship a single woman who "is not a feminist or a lesbian."
But Priebe's will has now been struck down in court by a judge who says it is too offensive to take effect.
With falling oil prices eroding Canada's revenue base, newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is fully embracing deficits, with his finance minister hinting Monday the country will run a deficit of about C$30 billion ($22 billion) in the fiscal year that starts April 1.
It's one of the biggest fiscal swings in the country's history that, in just four months since the Oct. 19 election, has cut loose all the fiscal anchors Trudeau pledged to abide by even as he runs deficits. The government's bet is that appetite for more infrastructure spending and a post-election political honeymoon will trump criticism over borrowing and unmet campaign promises.
"It looks like the Liberals want to front load as much bad news as possible in the hope when the election occurs in four years things will be better," said Nik Nanos, an Ottawa-based pollster with Nanos Research Group.

[Rooters] Businessman Donald Trump inched closer to becoming the Republican Party’s presidential candidate Tuesday with a victory in the Nevada caucuses, his third win in four early-nominating contests.
Trump’s victory, which was quickly called by broadcast networks and later affirmed by the state Republican Party, showed not only that he has undeniable momentum, but that he holds broad geographic appeal.
After coming second in Iowa, in America’s midwest, he went on to capture primaries in New Hampshire in the northeast and South Carolina in the south. Nevada was the first western contest.
“If you listen to the pundits, we weren’t expected to win too much, and now we’re winning, winning, winning the country,” Trump said at a victory rally in Las Vegas.
Trump is expected to take the bulk of Nevada’s 30 delegates, which would give him more than 80 before February ends, and dwarf the tallies of his closest rivals, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

See Jeb was a nice guy. He could have spent $124M just buying 'superdelegates' like Shillery and have something to show for it, rather than packing his bags.
Concealed handguns would be allowed on Georgia's public college campuses under a measure that cleared the state's House of Representatives and now heads to the Senate over the objections of university leaders.
The bill, which was approved by the Republican-dominated House on Monday, would let anyone 21 or over with a concealed weapons permit take their handguns on public college campuses but not into dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses or sporting events.
"The House took a very clear position that the Second Amendment does not stop at the edge of a college campus," Speaker David Ralston, a Republican, said following passage of the bill, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
A Democratic opponent of the bill, State Representative Robert Trammell, said in a phone interview on Tuesday that he believed the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment allowed handguns to be barred from "sensitive" places such as college campuses.
"In addition to the question of public safety, a weapon in a classroom environment is antithetical to the idea and mission of post-secondary education," Trammell said.
Supporters of the measure have cited several recent armed robberies of students in the library at Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta as evidence that students should be allowed to arm themselves.
But Trammell said there is no data showing that campuses would be safer if students were allowed to carry weapons.
The Georgia Board of Regents, which governs the state's colleges and universities, opposes the bill, spokesman Charles Sutlive said.
The measure's chances in the Republican-controlled state Senate are unclear. A similar "campus carry" provision failed in 2014 when senators stripped it from a broader gun bill.
A spokeswoman for Republican Governor Nathan Deal said the governor does not comment on pending legislation, giving no indication of whether he supports the bill.
Last week, the president of the University of Texas reluctantly approved plans that would allow licensed concealed handgun holders to bring pistols into classrooms, after the Texas legislature last year approved a campus carry law similar to the one proposed in Georgia.
Georgia's bill covers only public colleges. Texas allows private colleges to opt out of campus carry, and most of the best-known private schools have.
